Ill INTENSITY M imprisonment of Mahatma Gandhi Stirs Natives To Uprisings BOMBAY. India. May 6 (AP) An almost endless list of out breaks today market the turning of the imprisoned Mahatma Gand hi's campaign of civil disobedi ence from peaceful into warlike progress. Bloodshed occurred in a dozen cities where hostile, actions of the "holy one's" followers were met with armed force. The home and Indian govern ments strengthened the hands of local police authorities with troops and armored cars. Outstanding among the day's disorders was a clash at Elhl In which two natives were killed and fifty or more seriously wounded. A half mile procession of Gandhi's devotees filed into the city's prin cipal thoroughfare Gandbl Chowk. refusing to disperse. With this group the authorities grappled for several hours, fin ally being obliged to seek the aid of calvalry troops, who gained control of the situation. Following the Delhi disturbances the police proclaimed a state of martial law, forbidding the gath ering ot more than five persons. Enforcement of this statute throughout India would necessi tate mobilization of every avail able troop, both European and na tive. Meanwhile the central figure In this turbulent picture remained remote from strike within the en circling walls of the Poona Jail where, according to the latest in formation he was well and cheer ful. Gandhi's second letter to Vice roy Lord Irwin was made public today. In it be said "history's verdict would be that the British not understanding, had goaded human nature to violence." AN important matter that should have had attention 80 or more years ago was brought to a consummation late yesterday afternoon, when R. J. Hendricks filed for tran scribing to the permanent records of the Marion county re corder a deed to the old mission site, on the east side of tbe Willamette river, about a mile above the Wheatland ferry. Thus successfully ends a quest that was taken up about a year ago. O Th matter wn first broached during the life time of the late State Senator A. M. LaFollett, when the deed was prepared, during his last sick ness, but the matter was not closed, and he died without hav ing what was his wish concluded. Senator LaFollett had intended to make the deed, covering about 10 acres of land, for a consider able time before his being raited by the dark messenger. Now, his lawful heirs have car ried out his uish. They hre' deeded to Willamette university, in trust for the people of the state of Oreson. "to have and hold the said premise, with thir uppurtenances unto the said Wil lamette university, and Its rur. cessors forever, in trut for iLe people of the state of Oregon, to be held and used a. a perpetual shrine in memory of Jason Le mission," a trjrt of five Beret ttt upland. 10 chains (660 feet) lrng from north to south on its et side, and west to the east himk of the old Willamette river; m. th ing in all six and a half to 10 acres owing to the stage of wa ter In the old river. Also a rfrfct of way for a roadway. 30 fet wide, running west from the high way near the big red. Senator A. M. LaFollett house to a poirt along the fence south of the deed ed tract, thence north to tKe tract. The tract aud the right of wr.y are to be fenced at once, requir ing 220 rods of fencing to be paid for by a prominent Salem man, with appropriate gateways. Marion county Is to have one ot its road crews select the largest rock that Its biggest rig can haul to be selected by President Doney and this is to be set np on the site of the old mission buildings, and the county Is to have also an appropriately let tered marker imbedded in the rock: the lettering to show that the rock marks the place where the mission wa3 established, be ginning October 6. 1834, and giv ing the names of the LaFollMt heirs who have made the gift et the land to the people of Oregon. Also, Marlon county is to dedicate; the right of way as a public road, and to grade and gravel the road during the present season. The rock will be placed as soon as the ground Is thoroughly dry. It la a plowed field, a mile or so from any road. Appropriate Dedication Of Site Is Planned Then, after all this 1s !o.. there will be a dedication of the historic site, to which the wirte world will be Invited; and to which many thousands will come. The date of the coming over tb crest of the Rockies of Jason Le (1834). and of the settlement ot tbe International boundary (1846), June 15th, would be a- nropriate. But the preparation mar not be completed by that time, in which case the dedica tion will be later In the seasoa. . The signing and recording -I (Turn to page 2. col.
