In case the ordinances author--Islng a Tote on this issue are passed by the city council over -Mayor Livesley's veto Monday -night, it will not be necessary for - the Hollywood folk to proceed any .further with the petitions. April 10 Last Pay For Filing Petitions Investigations conducted by members of the Hollywood club Fridy disclosed that their peti tions must be completed and veri fied by the city recorder April 16, if they are to be effective in forc ing a vote at the primary election a month later. A complication of the situation appears in a clause of the city's initiative law which provides that only persons who are priviliged to vote on the measure to be initia ted, may sign the petitions. This means, in view of the laws passed by the last legislature which lim its balloting on. financial meas ures to property owners, that in . order to be safe, signatures on the petitions must also be restricted to taxpayers. Argument on Eddy Law Is Scheduled Tuesday There is a favorable prospect that the sq called Eddy law on this subject will be ruled uncon stitutional prior to the election, as a mandamus action brought by Kelly Loe of Multnomah county attacking these laws is to be ar ' gued before the supreme court next Tuesday. In view. of tbia sit uation, it has been announced that the proposed resolution for a sep arate ballot on the water, question will not be submitted Monday night If the council passes the two ordinances which the mayor ve toed. Reports were current Friday that persons interested in prevent ing a rote on the water Issue at this time were urging some coun- eilmen who voted for, the ordin ances originally, to stay' away from Monday night's meeting and thus defeat the measures, which will require an affirmative vote ot ten aldermen for passage over the vetos.

Announcement that the Ameri cans were preparing to buy their steamer tickets came during one of the tensest days of tbe confer ence and indications tonight are that a crisis exists which may end the many crises of tbe London conference.

TO HIGH LEVEL Wall Street Sees Most Ag gressive Market Since Election Time Turnover Nears Six Million Mark; Speculators Buy Immense Blocks NEW YORK, April 4. (AP) -Bulla cast restraint to the winds in today's stock market and went on such a rampage as has not been seen in Wall Street since the post-election whoopee of No vember, 1928. The price index of 90 representative issues was push ed up 3 points to a new high level for the Tear, and transactions ag- ereaated 6.931.610 shares, the largest turnover since the trouble some davs of last November. There has not been such feverish activi ty in a normal bull market since tbe speculative orgy during tbe three- weeks subsequent to the Hoover election, although sales ran higher during some ot the violent rebounds last fall. Rather heavy profit taking ap peared at times, but speculators for the rise did not hesitate to rush in to take up the alack. A sore spot was the amusement shares, which were depressed by heaviness in Warner Bros., attri buted to rumors that first quar ter earnings for this company would not approach the optimistic estimates heard a few weeks ago.

Bf BUOSITS ncrease Over Year Ago Re ported by Salem Finan cial Institutions Showing a gain in the . face of business conditions supposed to be somewhat slower than ln early 1929, Salem banks reported this week larger deposits than a year ago. The combined deposits of the three banks as of March 27, show ed $11,002,739 as of that date in comparison with 310,831,321 at the same date tbe year before. The gain of $171,418, while not large, is healthy considering that a number of communities in the state show a slight decrease from the high mark ot a rear ago. Loans ln local banks show a very slight Increase over 1929 at the March call.

Raskob, chairman of the democratic national committee, calmly testified today that he had contributed $65,000 during the last five years to the Association Against the Prohibition Amend- -ment and that he was a director ot the organization. In a low, even tone the demo cratic chieftain smilingly replied to questions about bis gelations with the association. He said it attempted to obtain the election of congressmen favoring repeal or modification of the prohibition act. He added he was not very active in the work ot the assocla ition. "I am largely in the position of being a contributor and a direc tor," he explained.

(AP) Queen Victoria of Sweden, long an inva lid from a bronchial ailment, calmly and apparently painlessly died here today in the winter home that was her refuge every year from the rigorous climate of Sweden. She was 68 years oia. King Gustav. who returned from a trip to Naples yesterday and Prince William, were at the bedside. Queen Victoria had been grad ually sinking in vitality for a long time from a pulmonary complica tion, yesterday ber condition was disquieting and King Gustave. who had gone on an excursion to Nagles and the Island of Capri, was sent for. The queen, sinking rapidly. died as though she were falling asleep, only Dr. Munte, who had attended her for more than 30 years, realising she was dead. He felt her pulse, listened to ner heart and turning to the king sor rowfully announced that her ma Jesty had passed away. Aided by nurses, Dr. Munie clad the body in burial garments of black ad laid it out on the bed over which were strewn roses from the garden that the queen had loved and personally super vised. She used to say it was the sight and perfume of flowers ln sunny Italy that kept her alive. By a coincidence, today was tne first ln weeks on which tbe queen had been deprived ot the spring like sunshine of Italy. After weeks of fair weather, rain fell steadily. Services for her will be held at the German church ln Rome to morrow, and tomorrow or 8unday the body will be sent to Sweden. x-ww .... . -X y. : ...- . ... . latCb QUEEN OF SWEDEN Older Boys From Marion And Polk Counties Meet The seventh annual Marion Polk county Older Boys confer ence got off to a premising start Friday night with 110 persons, mostly delegates, attending tbe banquet at the T.

None T the requests was refused, althoBgn there was considerable discussion in connection with two appropri ations sought by the Oregon State college through the state board T higher education. The largest deficiency appropri ation was $53,000 for the con struction of a new cell block al the state penitentiary. The cost of this improvement was estimated at $88,0000. of which $35,000 is . now available. Prison Population Shows Rapid Increase Reports submitted to the bar showed that the population at tbe prison has increased at tbe rat of approximately 100 a year, and that 222 prisoners are now coto pelled to sleep outside of the celH, Of the prisoners outside of the rells 81 are housed on tbe second floor of the penitentiary garage, while 50 are at the prison annea six miles eas: of Salem. The prop osed new sell block will have ac commodations far 320 prisoners. Representative Hamilton we, by virtue ot being speaker ot tbe house of representatives is a mem ber of the emergency board, said it was his opinion that the people of Oregon should ronslder seri ously a proposal to erect a new penitentiary. He charged that the present plant was inadequate aae that the new call block would be nothing more than a make shift Circuit Judge Get S45.000 In Salaries Another deficiency appropria tion ot $45,009 was approved for the payment of salaries and wages . of circuit judges. This aencieacy was the result of a bill passed at the 1929 legislative session kutb- orislng the creation ot a new cir cuit Judgeship and Increasing the salares of tbe circuit Judges at an additional expense of more than $80,000 during the current bttn- nium. At the time the bill was pre sented to the legislature it was represented that increased court fees would offset the additional cost. Records of the secretary of state submitted to the emergency board today showed that the in creased court feej for the blen- nlum would total less than $40,- 000. The board also allowed an ap propriation of $35,000 sought by the secretary of state for mainteo ance of the new etate office build- -ing now nearing completion here. At the time the legislature author ised the construction of this build ing no provision was mace ior maintenance. Items Included la the maintenance appropriation were wages of $20,000, general and operating costs $14,000 and purchase of an automobile at $1- 000.
