After Breaking Ice
of Millrace
Robbery Job Ends Dis
astrous for Trio
of Crooks
Two men charged with partici
pation tn the attempted safe rob
bery at the Cherry City Milling
company here at 3:30 a. m. Sat
urday were In the city Jail that
right, and It was feared that the
third had been drowned beneath
the ice in the mill stream back of
the water company's building
when he fled from the police.
Officers called to the scene by
railroad employes who detected
the attempted safe cracking, paw
the third man run to the high
bank of the mill stream and
jump, -and searching there later,
they found a hole In the Ice suf
ficiently large for the man to
have fallen through. They found
no tracks leading away from the
scene.
Corpse Thought to
Have Been Carried Far
If the fleeing yegg was carried
beneath the Ice, his body prob
ably was carried some distance
downstream. It may have reach
ed the river, or It may hare
lodged against a n obstruction
near the South Commercial street
bridge or the paper mill. In any
ease, unless he is found alive, the
mystery will not be cleared up un
til the Ice Is gone, if it Is ever
solved.
The men being held in the city
flail are James West, who was
ald to have been the safe crack
ers' lookout and was caught by
Officers Coffey and Reaves in the
alley back of the Salem laundry,
and John Hoffee, who waa arrest
ed later in the day tn Portland.
West at first said his name was
Earl Brown.
First Explosives
Charge Not Success
The cracksmen had set off one
charge of explosives in an effort
to open the safe, but it failed,
and they had placed another
charge in the hole drilled above
the combination, before they fled.
Officer Charlton emptied his
revolver at the fleeing men, but
did not believe he hit either of
them. West was taken to Portland
later in the day by Officers Charl
ton and Burgess, and investiga
tions conducted there with the
id of Portland police resulted in
the arrest of Hoffee.

Willamette Valley Growers
Plan to Supply Mara
chino Market
New Tariff Expected to Pro
tect Producer Within
United States
Warning the cherry growers
that they must find new outlets
for their production which prom
ises to double In the next few
years. Max Gehlhar, retiring pres
ident of the Willamette Valley
Cherry Growers' association, rec
ommended that steps be taken to
ward developing the market for
Maraschino cherries for Oregon
cherries. Mr. Gehlhar stated that
if the new cherry tariff is enact
ed the west will be called on to
supply cherries for the Mara
schino trade, but that the east
ern distributorj of this "product
want -the pitted cherries. It would
be necessary therefore to pit the
cherries here; and he strongly
urged establishment of a pitting
plant. The meeting decided to un
dertake an experiment this year
of assembling several tons of
cherries to be offered eastern
packers for this trade. A score or
more of growers agreed to pool
from to 5 per cent of their
tonnage this year for the experi
ment. Price of Cherries
Not Yet Settled
No intimation was given as to
the price that will be offered
cherry growers this season. In
quiry as to what was being of
fered brought no disclosures,
though it was intimated on the
side that an eight-cent price was
being talked. During the discus
sion the "open-end" form of con
tract was vigorously condemned
as leaving the grower at the mer
cy of the canner.
Considerable business was
transacted by the ass. -iation.
Lloyd Reynolds read a form of
by-laws, prepared by a committee
which was adopted. In the elec
tion of officers, President Gehl
har and Secretary J. G. Hogg,
who have served for many years,
declined re-election. The follow
ing were chosen: George Cro Da

president; Ray Glatt, Woodburn,
secretary of the Woodburn fruit
pool, vice president; .' bert Boef

Lloyd Reynolds and H. R. Craw
ford, members of executive com
mittee. Attempt to Nullify
Protection Blocked
Mr. Gehlhar reported on the
status of the cherry tariff. The
house committee fixed the rate at
5 cents per pound for unpit
ted cherries and 9 cents for the
pitted cherries. The senate com
mittee allowed these rates to
stand but excepted small sizes of
cherries which would have made
the protection ineffective. The
Oregon senators secured the resto
ration of the wording of the house
bill, however, so the growers are
satisfied with the wording at pres
ent. No change is anticipated, but
the question remains whether any

man, 16, Shot Down by
Pursuing Noncom
DETROIT, Jan. 25. (AP)
A 16 year old member of the
Michigan National guard waa
shot and killed here late today by
a sergeant who had been sent to
his home to arrest him for miss
ing drill. The young guardsman.
Stanley Prusinowski, had missed
drill for several weeks, and Ser
geant Joseph Poggione, 28, had
been sent to place him under ar
rest According to the story given to
police by Poggione, the youth ran
out of the rear door of his borne
as the sergeant came to the front
of the house. Poggione started
in pursuit, and his quarry was
outdistancing him as they ran
through an alley.
The sergeant said he called to
Prusinowski to halt and fired one
shot in the air. His order waa
disregarded, he said, and he fired
his revolver at the youth, who
fell mortally wounded. He died
in a police ambulance.
Sergeant Poggione was ques
tioned by police at the Ham
tramck station and was released
until Monday on orders of the
prosecutor's office.
Poggione s story was denied by
Zigmund Kaczynski, a brother-in-
law of the dead youth. He said
he saw the affair, that no warn
ing shot was fired and that the
sergeant fired ' at Prusinowski
while only fire or six feet away
from him.

Coast Guard Cutter Tears Path for Relief Ship
Causing End of 1 4 Days Isolation for Folk
on Puget Sound Island in Columbia River
fATHLAMET, Wash., Jan. 25. (AP) Winter's icy grip
J on the Columbia river was broken today and contact
with the outside world was re-established by six communi
ties cut off for 14 days by unprecedented fields of ice in the
river and heavy snows inland.
Bucking ice that varies in thickness from a few inches
to a maximum of 18 inches, the United States coast guard
cutter Northland battered her way before the lighthouse
tender Rose, the latter laden
with provisions and other
supplies, to points where re
lief could be landed for the
suffering towns.
Tending Effected S
Late In Afternoon
The most difficult of all bar
riers encountered was swept away
at 4:10 p. m., when the North
land, followed by the Rose, forced
an entrance to Olsen's landing on
the lower end of Puget Island. In
the middle of the river between
bere and Westport, Ore., to land
mall, supplies and medicines.
Puget island was the first of
the various ice-locked points to
receive outside aid when an air
plane, with Dr. Ernest L. Boylen
ot Portland, a passenger, landed
on a small field there last Thurs
day. Dr. Boylen, piloted by Tex
Rankin, Portland pilot, made the
hazardous night flight to give
medical attention to -y ear-old
June McGilvray, seriously 111
with pneumonia.
Other Settlements
Also Get Relief
Other communities In addition
to this and Puget island, freed
from probable serious suffering
by dwindling food supplies, were
Altoona, Bkamokawa, Pillar
Point and Brookfield, all on the
Washington shore. The North
land and Rose left Astoria, Ore.,
early today and fought a bitter
battle to reach the ice barricaded
villages.
More than once the ice-locked
river threatened the relief expedi
tion with failure and only the
dogged determination ot the
Northland's crew brought success.

HELD REAL THREAT
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25
(AP) Stopping of the illegal in
flux of aliens as a means of re
lieving unemployment was de
manded In the house today, coin
cident with the introduction of a
bill proposing to bring abont
rigid enforcement of the immi
gration laws through compulsory
registration annually of all al
iens.
The attention of the house was
directed again to the immigra
tion problem by Chairman John
son of the Immigration commit
tee, who said congress had not
appropriated enough money tor
the Immigration bureau to enable
It to stem the surreptitious entry
of aliens. The four department
supply bill being considered
would provide J9.000.000 for the
immigration service, an increase
of $885,000 over last year.
Johnson quoted Commissioner
Hull of the bureau as saying "it
was humanly impossible for the
bureau to do the work congress
expects it to do with the money
provided.
The registration proposal was
advanced by Representative Ca
ble, republican, Ohio, a member
of the immigration committee. In
a formal statement he said it
would enable the government
more easily to ascertain the
names and addressee ot illegal al
iens and proceed with their de
portation."
Cable estimated that more than
million aliens had entered the
United States without legal ad
mission, many of whom were des
cribed as deserting seamen from
foreign vessels.

By A. E. HARRIS
Associated Press Staff Writer
PORTLAND. Ore., Jan. 25.
(AP) A thousand feet below
the United States army airplane,
piloted by Lieutenant Carleton
Bond, commandant o f Pearson
field, Vancouver, an Associated
Press reporter today saw the en
tire population of Puget Island,
in the mid-Columbia river, race
to the only wharf on the Island
and cheer lustily a steel prowed
coast guard cutter that battered
water route to the Islanders
who have been icebound more
than a week.
Sight of the coast guard cutter
northland farther down stream
was the signal for the 1,500 In
habitants of the Island to start a
general marathon toward the
wharf to greet the craft which
entered the Columbia river at As
toria, Ore., earlier in the day and
ploughed a furrow through fields
of ice.
Ship With Provisions
Follows Ice Breaker
Immediately following the
Northland waa the lighthouse
tender, Rose, loaded with more
than 160 tons of foodstuffs for
both humans and animals and
between 40 and 50 bags of mail.
As the Northland drew closer
to shore, the blunt nosed light
house tender backed off and made
flying start at the shore ice
which fringed the wharf. Three
times the craft was forced to re
cede and as the skipper gave or
ders for full steam ahead, the
vessel smashed the last barrier
between restocked grocery stores
and rationed Inhabitants.
Swooping lower, Lieutenant
Bond circled the crowd and re
ceived cheers from inhabitants
who became more impressed with
the airplane's necessity when a
physician was landed on the isl
and Thursday night and a nine
year old girl's life was saved. She
suffered a five day attack of
pneumonia.
Hundreds of hands aided in

Premier Tardieu of France, and
Foreign Minister Grandl of Italy,
from which came no word of
progress toward the settlement of
the Franco-Italian naval difficul

The Franco-Italian situation
dominated today's proceedings
among the delegates, who are still

cautiously from their London

MacDonald and Secretary of State
Stimson rested in the quiet of
their country retreats.

Althongh no progress was re

those from the highlands and low

hall for the entertainment, over

Outstanding features of the ev

Betty Seaton and Dorathea Nieol
son of Carlton, and the address
on Burns by Rev. Fred C. Tay

applauded.
Burns Lauded Because
Of Lowly Origin
"Robert Burns was great be
cause he belonged to the Scottish
people, and the Scottish people
are great because ot Robert
Burns,' Rev. Taylor told the
group gathered to commemorate
Burns' 171st birthday anniver

Justly be given to Burns, Taylor
continued, tribute too must be
paid to the lowly peasant father
and mother whose courage, stur
diness, patience and teachings
were instrumental to the poet's
Immortal "fame.
Burns' greatness lies in the
love In which he is universally
held, which in turn is due to his
common origin; to the fact that
he was one of the commonest of
the common people, the minister
said. He was a man whose hard
