Lives ley Flayed
By Pro hi Forces
For Backing Beer
Statements Attributed to Salem's Mayor Held
Misrepresentative of General Attitude of
People of Oregon and This City
REMARKS made by Mayor T. A. Livesley of Salem, in
Boston recently and relayed to Oregon in press dispatch
es, to the effect that the American people are tired of pro
hibition and that the return of legalized beer is inevitable,
bid fair to start a widespread furore in Mr. Livesley's home
state and possibly in his home town.
. .4. Th first foiroal evidence of indignation among prohi
bition forces of this state appears at Eugene where, accord
ing iu Associated tress ais-
patches, the central union W.
C. T. U. issued a statement
denouncing the news story
emanating from Boston.
Mrs. R. L. Perdew, secretary of
the organization, issued the state
ment which read as follows:
Vigorous Protest
Voiced by Group
"At the meeting the Central
union W. C. T. U. passed a vigor
ous remonstrance to the news
paper article attributing certain
wet propaganda as coming from
the mayor of Salem, the capital
of Oregon, during a recent stop
in Boston, as being entirely false
as to the general attitude of the
people of Oregon."
That the Eugene women are
not alone in their objections to
Mayor Livesley's remarks was
clearly indicated at this week's
meeting of the Salem W. C. T. U.,
when the matter came in for con
blderable discussion, with the gen
eral sentiment expressed that the
members deeply regretted the at
titude taken by the mayor and
were not proud of the manner in
which he had represented the
city.
It was even suegested that "di
rect action" be resorted to, but
nothing was done in view of the
fact that Mr. Livesley is serving
Lis last year as mayor and has an
nounced that he will not be a can
didate to. succeed himself.

HI I POLITICAL
SITUATION REFUTED
Kreason Not to Oppose
Stewart for Seat in Leg
islature This Year
DALLAS, Feb. 6. (Special)
Reports circulated in Salem re
cently that R. S. Kearson of Dal
las would oppose S. L. Stewart
for the republican nomination for
state representative and that Mike
Walker of Independence would
run for the senate, are believed
here to have been made "oat of
whole cloth."
It is true that Mr. Kreason had
given serious thought to entering
the field, but that was with the
understanding that Steward had
decided not to run again. Mr.
Stewart announced his candidacy
about three weeks ago, whereupon
Mr. Kreason decided that be
would stand aside ,and perhaps
seek this office In 1932.
As to the possibility of Mike
Walker's entering the senatorial
race, that is pretty thoroughly pre
cluded by the "gentleman's agree
ment" under which this is Ben
ton county's turn to pick a sena
tor. The fact that Mr. Walker, de
spite his recognized qualifications,
is a University of Oregon alum
nus, would also virtually bar him
from anything like a successful
race jor a legislative seat in which
Benton county had more than half
the voting strength.
B. W. Johnson of Monroe ap
pears to be Benton county's most
likely aspirant for the senate posi
tion. This is likewise Lincoln coun
ty's turn to select the Joint rep
resentative for Lincoln and Polk.
Don Avery of Taft, two Toledo
men and one from Waldport are
reported to be In the field.
County Judge George L. Hawk
ins and Commissioner Frank
Farmer of Polk county are likely
to be unopposed In the primaries,
and the only exciting race now ap
parent is for district attorney. El
mer Barnhart of Independence
and Elmer Cook of West Salem
are definitely candidates, and sev
eral others including the Incumb
ent, William W. "Harcombe, are
expected to file.

sition at the University of Min

Gross, who yesterday said
some freshmen were considering

WASHINGTON', Feb. A (AP)
The condition of William How

factory" at midnight tonight by
Dr. Thomas A Ctaytor, one of
his physicians.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6 (AP)
The condition of Willram How
ard Taft was described tonight
by his physicians as better than
it had been at any time since his
return home from Asheville,
N. C.
After an examination, the doc
tors expressed themselves as
highly pleased with the turn
events "had taken. Although this
morning they reported consider
able difficulty in giving Mr. Taft
sufficient nourishment, the form
er chief Justice was fed this af
ternoon and doctors said he ap
peared somewhat refreshed by
considerable sleep. He was ad
ministered medicine to encourage
sleep during the afternoon.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6 (AP)
To reenforce William Howard
Taft'a resistance to the -illness
which has enfeebled him, his phy
sicians resorted today to medicine
that encouraged sleep.
The former president has slept
at night since his arrival from
the south on Tuesday; but the
doctors wanted him to obtain
even more rest. They believe this
to be an important ally in their
attempt to restore the 72 year
old patient to health.
Sleeping Drug Used
To Encourage Rest
So this afternoon, after anoth
er of their periodic examinations,
the doctors arranged that Mr.
Taft should be administered a
sleeping potion. They had found
no material change In his weak
ened condition, and repeated in
their bulletin that there was no
fever and his pulse was satisfac
tory. "The greatest difficulty," they
said, "Is to administer sufficient
nourishment."
Drs. Thomas A. Claytor and
Francis R. HaTgner signed the
bulletin, which was made public
at the White House. They refrain
ed from detail about the difficul
ty of feeding. While they appar
ently still felt the sick man was
in no immediate danger, they
gave no assurances of confidence
that any crisis had been passed.
Senate Expresses
Hope of Recovery
In contrast with the last two
days, the Wyoming avenue neigh
borhood where the Taft resident
is located was devoid of many
passersby. The spacious red brick
home had several callers, as usual
bearing messages of encourage
ment from the numerous friends
of the former president and chief
Justice. The senate today adopted
a resolution expressing regret for
his "serious Illness" and hope
that he would soon recover.
Mrs. Taft, who calls her hus
band "Will" and is known affec
tionately to him as "Nellie," left
the house this afternoon for an
automobile ride to refresh her

can behave, student assemblies
will be abolished for the remain

Wolf said.
The principal said that he sim

must be remedied by abolishing
the assembly, he is prepared to
do It.

The Stimson declaration fol
lows in part:
Principle of Paritv
Only Request Made
At the opening of the confer
ence, the United States delega
tion made no statement of its po
sition or of the needs of-its coun
try beyond the historical fact of
agreement in principle for parity
between Great Britain and the
United States.
We are now in position where
we can go further. Following
discussions among ourselves, and
negotiations with the British and
Japanese which have clarified
the limits of possible agreemeit
our delegation has made suggeb
tions as follows:
"First, with Britain, immediate
parity In every class of ship in
the navy. The gross tonnage of
these two fleets is substantially
1,200,000 tons apiece.
"Negotiations between Presi
dent Hoover and Prime Minister
MacDonald last summer practi
cally reduced the discussion f
parity between them to the com
paratively Insignificant difference
in their rflanortlira r t-n t a a
tonnage of 24, WO tons.
Number of British Llbt
Cruisers Not Announced
"We propose to settle this dif
ference as follows: under our
suggestion, the actual tonnage
difference between the two cruis
er fleets will he only 12,000.
, "Of the larger cruisers armed
with eight inch guns Great Brit
ain will have 15 and the United
States 18, an advantage to the
latter-of 30,000 tons.
"Of the smaller rmiapra irmtii
with six Inch guns, Great Britain
win nave an advantage of 42.009
tons. But beyond this, in order
to insure exact equality of op
portunity, the United States
makes the suggestion that eaeh
country will have thA nt Inn
duplicating exactly the cruiser
fleet of the the Other.
"Thus Great Tlrftni'n -.,,1.1
have the option by reducing Its
uumoer or smaii cruisers to In
crease Its large cruisers from 15
to 18. so as to sire it a total ton
nage of 327,000 tons, the exact
amount or tonnage which the
United States now asks.
U. S. Also Has Riirht
To Effect Changes
on the other hand, the United
States would have the option by
reducing its large cruisers from
18 to 17, to Increase the number
of its small cruisers so as to give
it a total cruiser tonnage of 339 -000
tons, the exacts amount f
tonnage which the British new
ask.
"In battleships, we suggest by
the reduction In numbers on both
sides to equalize our two fleets la
