(AP) Ross ShulL 29. of Myrtle Point, Ore., was arrested here early tonight on a charge of be ing a hit-and-rnn driver, police said. Traffic investigators charged Shull with failing to stop and render assistance after striking and seriously injuring George Shafer. 12, on Greeley cut-off here this Afternoon. The arrest was made lSfes-than four hours after the accident. Witnesses of the accident obtained the license number of the automobile and the ear was traced by police with the aid of Myrtle Point authori ties. , R. D. Ward.- who police charged was a passenger in the' hit-and-run car, was held as a material witness. The injured boy was taken to a local hospital, where his injuries were described as critical. Short Measure Wood Charge Is Held Mistake Asserting that the charge of giving short measure on wood to which her husband pleaded guilty was a mistake, Mrs. C. F. Turner telephoned The Statesman re questing that their side of the af fair be printed. Mrs. Turner as serted that in an effort to meet the big demand for wood and keep all customers phoning in orders supplied they had several times hauled a portion of a cord out for quick delivery, returning later with the remainder. This she stat ed was what occurred in the in stance on which the charge was based. The truck driver, she asserted, delivered the half-cord, and told the woman it was only a half cord, but the woman being hard of hearing did not understand; and the Issuance of the warrant followed. When the case came to trial, Mr. Turner did not choose to fight the charge but paid the fine. Mrs. Turner asserts that the charge was on a misunderstanding on the part of the customer.

Fanchon and Marco, by the way, have something new In the way of Snn kist Beauties they are, well, I suppose it would be correct to call them "tanned youths" In stead. In other words the chorus is all boys. Going back to "Navy Blues." It la an all-talking picture and there is some of the best harmony singing In It that I have heard in sound production. This pic ture Is also William Haines first talking picture. He has a good voice nothing to write home about but just gooc". But he Is funny Incorrigible is perhaps a better word. Step on him ana' he comes np more lively than before. Of course Karl Dane is a riot. To watch him it seems that it would be Jmpossible for him to be any other way. And Anita Page Is outstanding. She is pretty and she has a definite individuality that makes it possible for one to see her in hts mind's eye 24 hours after the picture has been seen. Her voice is rery pleasing, too. Did you know that Anita is only 18 years old She looks no old er either, ana' she Is still unso phisticated looking in spite of some of the. parts she has played. "Navy Blues." tells the story of a quick wltted sailor looking for a good time on shore leave, a pretty girl who falls for his line, a big Swede who furnishes half the laughs and makes a good buddy, and a hen-pecked husband ana' his domineering wife- the latter the parents of the pretty girl.

Faubel. secretary of the American tariff league and associated professor of economics at New York uni versity. Elaborating his onininn. ha suggested that the senate be civ- en the status of the English of lords, which holds lesser pow ers than those of the, house of commons. Under the United Slates constitution the two branches of congress have equal authority. This theory of government was advanced by the witness after he had given . newspapermen a statement Which said the league had spent 232,602 in advocating a protective tariff In connection with the pending tariff bill. He also had told the lobby committee that the "universal opinion has been one of disapproval" of its investigation. Questioned sharply by Senator Walsh, democrat, Montana, con cerning the statement about the committee, Faubel later said he desired to "make such exceptions as all general statements have." He excepted the Investigation in to the employment of Charles L. Evanson, of the Connecticut Man ufacturers association by Senator Bingham, republican, Connecti cut. Bingham was censured by the senate for his use of Evanson in Connecticut with the pending tariff bin. Insisting that the newspapers he had read had condemned the investigation of Joseph R. Grun dy, now senator from Pennsylva nia, and former vice president of the tariff league, Faubel asserted that he concurred in Grundy's statement before the committee "that the founders of the consti tution made a mistake." Ewan said. Upon his return to the United States, the former coach declared, he plans to open a coaching school In New York City. The school will be for coaches with some experi ence and will be conducted in courses of two weeks' duration. Four hours In the morning will be devoted to. line work and four hours in the afternoon to feature plays, he said. LARAMIE. Wyo., Jan. 24.
