EIGHTIETH YEAR
GREGORY IPS
Kff
Shakeup in Police Force Not
Contemplated Asserts
Candidate Here
Whispering Tactics Declared
To Have Been Waged in
Salem Politics
Attempts, to Inject the question
of Jocal police administration Into
the mayoralty campaign came to
light here Wednesday when P. M.
Gregory, candidate on a platform
of municipal ownership ot the wa
ter utility, responded with a de
nial to rumors that he planned.
If elected, to make numerous
changes in the police,! personnel
Including the appotntnienj of a
new chief. - -
These rumors were, to the effect
that Chief Frank Mlnto was to he
superseded because he .had work
ed actirely In the interest of Ed
Rosteln, Gregory's opponent for
the mayoralty. Mr. Gregory said
he had heard that the chief was
campaigning for Rosteln, along
with some of the other police offi
cers, but that Chief Minto had
come to him recently with a denial
of this claim and had assured him
that he was maintaining strict neu
trality in the matter.
Klaborat Details of
Humor Worked Out
Further than this, the rumors
went so far as to name a North
Ealem man who has been cam
paigning for Gregory, as the one
slated for appointment as chief.
The candidate said this individu
al was definitely not seeking the
office of chief.
At the same time that he de
nied having formulated or an
nounced to anyone decision to
bring about a "shakeup" in the
police force, Gregory made It
plain Wednesday that he is not
definitely committed to any course
of action, in the event he is elect
ed, other than to carry out the
' promises contained in his plat-
form. Upon the question of the
police, department, as upon all
others excepting municipal owner
ship of the water system and op
position to the installation of fire
alarm boxes he remains "free from
entangling alliances.
The candidate mentioned that
he had been urged to pledge him-'
elf to certain appointments and
policies and that In return there
for be had promised influential
support, but that he had not ac
cepted any of these offers. He
hopes. It elected, to work in har
monvr with the council and other
city officers, and feels that pre
election promises might precent
that harmony.
In ' connection with his opposi
tion to the fire alarm boxes. Gre
gory said Wednseday that if the
city Installs the firs unit ot the
alarm system, the next step will
be to "bleed" the Industries, the
school district, county and state
Sstitutions for additional lnstalla
ons. (Turn to page 2. col. 3)

The Oregon state fair la the
first in the United States to re
quire a dairy abortion test for
animals exhibited at the fair, ac
cording to announcement made
here Wednesday by W. H. Lytle,
state veterinarian. The require
ment becomes effective at the
1930 state fair.
Dr. Lytle said that beet animals
would not be required to have
the test this year as they will be
Judged in the open as in previous
years and will not come In eentact
with dairy animals.
"Abortion disease is partly a
barn plant ", said Dr. Lytle. "By
that, I mean, it is spread by close
barn housing conditions peculiar
to dairy animals. Infectious abor
tion control has reached that
stage in Oregon where livestock
exhibitions, such as the state fair,
must have a tested show la order
to get the best herds.
"Abortion control work i is ex
pensive and persons whose losses
have been heavy from the disease
will not exhibit their animals ex
cept at an abortion tree show.
There are a few herds that have
been exhibited at various fairs
and have exeaped the Infection.
"Virtually all of the ? spring
Jersey and other dairy shews are
to be abortion free. In Oregon,
more than 36,000 dairy animals
were tested for abortion last
year.
"Oregon's abortion free -state
fair dairy show this year should
give the state much favorable advertising."

FOREST FIRE UN
BREAKS OUT N EAST
By The Associated Press
Breaking out again after the
combined efforts of Massachus
etts, New York and Connecticut
fire fighters apparently bad con
quered it, the fire which since
since Sunday has swept the Ta
eonic ridge, where the boundar
ies of the three states touch, had
assumed serious proportions again
last night.
New York state troopers In Ta
cenic park were atopping motor
ists to press them into service and
even schoolboys were enlisted In
the tight against the encroaching
flames which were estimated to
have swept over 25,000 acres In
the three states.
In addition to this blaze, nine
other serious tires were burning
in Massachusetts and .one In the
northern Adlrondacks of New
York state defied the efforts of
fire fighters.
William A. L. Blazeley, com
missioner ot conservation of Mas
sachusetts, said last night that
conditions had' become more
alarming due to the beat, lack of
rain and the brisk westerly wind.
Only heavy rains can help the sit
uation he said.

Campaign of Civil Disobedi
ence Subsides For Time
Being, Report
Heavy Military Forces Are
Used by British to Halt
All Uprisings
LONDON, May 7 (AP) As
suddenly as they had flared up,
India's civil disobedience disor
ders subsided today. From a wide
ly flung storm of violent encount
ers yesterday Mahatma Gandhi's
campaign of resistence to the gov
ernment today had simmered
down to a few widely separated
clashes.
The worst of these, costing nine
lives, occurred at Chittagong, the
scene on April 18 of a battle in
which two Europeans and several
natives were killed.
Again at Calcutta armed police
were compelled to act. A mob
raided the police station, smashed
in Its iron gates and there was
checked. Several police officers
suffered Injuries and 25 arrests
'were made.
Four Deaths Reported
In Simla Disturbance
Simla reported officially that
four deaths had occurred in yes
terday's riots. In the civilian
hospital 96 persons were treated.
To this number were added 18 po
lice Injury cases.
Advices from Delhi said patrols
of cavalry, infantry and armored
cars were being maintained today.
Arrival of V. J. Patel at Bom
bay and his pronouncement for a
widespread boycott against Brit
ish goods was the outstanding de
velopment in that district. Dis
patches did not indicate how Ma
hatma Gandhi's followers would
accept this attitude.
The comparative Quiet in Bom
bay was broken only by an early
onslaught of a mob upon textile
workers who sought to prevent
opening of cotton mills.
NEW SPED RECORD
IS SOUGHT T
LOS ANGELES. May 7 (AP)
A new attempt to lower to
transcontinental speed record
from Lios Angeles to New York
will be started from here at 1:00
a. m., tomorrow, Roscoe Turner,
Los Angeles pilot, announced late
today.
Turner will fly the same route
followed on April 20 by Colonel
Charles A. Lindbergh and his
wife, when they crossed the con
tinent in 14 hours and 23 min
utes in the fastest airplane trip
ever made between the two cities.
Like Lindbergh, Turner plans a
single stop at Wichita, Kans., to
refuel. He will fly the same make
of ship as Lindbergh's but a dif
ferent model. Lindbergh's plane
was a low-wing monoplane. Tur
ner's craft Is a high-winged ship.
Turner's plane Is powered with
a 625 h'orse power motor, which
in speed tests has turned up
slightly more than 200 miles an
hour and has an estimated cruis
ing speed of 180 miles an hour.
At the take-off he probably will
carry 400 gallons ot gasoline.
Turner hopes to better Lind
bergh's mark by an hour. Weath
er conditions along the great cir
cle route were reported favorable.
CHECK CHARGE LOOMS
E. B. Mills, of Seattle, was be
ing held In the city Jail last night
to await investigation in connec
tion with the passing of bad
checks here recently. The checks

NEW YORK, May 7. (AP)
In close formed ranks like a flight
of birds, an air fleet of 139 navy
planes swept over the city today
in a spectacular demonstration.
Taking off from the aircraft
carriers Lexington, Saratoga and
Langley at Norfolk, Va., yester
day and today the fleet kept ren
dezvous over Staten Island short
ly before noon and then flew
over the city in a mock attack.
At 1,000 feet in hollow square
flew the bombers, great, powerful
air birds capable of carrying tons
of death in their fuselages.
Slightly above them were the
observation planes and scouts and
high in the clouds, playing hide
and seek through the vagrant
masses of fleecy white, were the
tiny, single seated fighters, pro
tecting their big codzins from a
possible air attack from above.
Out ot the harbor mists and
smoke they swept, roared up
Manhattan Island, the sounds of
their motors stilling the din of
earthbound traffic below and
then turned and swept back south
again. They dipped In salute over
the Atlantic fleet, which had pre
ceded them to town by only a few
minutes and lay anchored in the
Hudson river.

COLUMBUS, May 7. (AP)
Convicts set fire to about 50 army
tents tonight in the improvised
prison yard stockade in Ohio pen
itentiary. The prisoners, trans
ferred to the stockade when they
rebelled after the fire of April 11,
stood outside the barbed wire
fence and laughed as their canvas
cells were licked up by flames.
No attempt was made by prison
officials to stop the fire.
Officials allowed the fire to
take its toll, explaining if they
brought fire apparatus within the
walls some of the convicts might
make a break for freedom.
National guard officers who
supplied the tents for the stock
ade so that repairs could be made
on the burned and broken cells
where 820 convicts perished In
the Easter morning fire, had
warned the prisoners that If they
destroyed the tents they would
not be replaced, weather and ele
ments notwithstanding.
Few Small Blazes

Officials said they believed only
a few of the tents were fired by
the prisoners, the others being
caught with flames whipped by
the wind.
Many of the convicts took time
to go Into their tents and drag
out their cots and clothing guards
said.
The day had been quiet and
about 1500 prisoners worked at
different Jobs Inside the walls.
About 150 prisoners who re

Senate Rejects Hoo
ver's Nominee for
High Position
Vote Against North
Carolina Jurist
Is 41 to 39
By FRANCIS M. STEPHENSON "
Associated Press Staff Writer
WASHINGTON, May 7. (AP)
For the first time in 36 years
the senate today refused to en
firm a nominee to the supresac
court, rejecting Judge John J.
Parker of North Carolina, by a
vote of 41 to 39.
The decision forces Prtsideat
Hoover to look elsewhere ter a
man to take the eat made vacant
by the death of Associate Justice
Edward T. Sanford, of Tennmee,
but there whs no indication, to
night he had a nominee in ir.isd.
Next Nominee Not
To lie From Soeth
There were intimations from the
White House that - Mr. Hoor
would have .something to say about
the senate's action and that he
would not go aftain to the south
for a nominee. It was believed al
so, that he would not reasoint
Parker by whom be stood firsa
ly in the senate controversy.
Opposition to Tarker in tbe
Senate was led by Senators Horata,
of Idaho, and XorrU, of Nebraska,
both republicans, and their pla
for his rejection was based entire
ly upon his decision upholding as
injunction restraing the United
Mine Workers from soliciting
membership among miners who
had signed contracts with tbt'r
employers not to join the union.--Negro
Organization
Voice More Opposition
The American Federation f
Labor vigorously protested the
nomination. The National Associ
ation for the Advancement of the
Colored People, alo protested a
speech made by Parker as repub
lican gubernatorial candidate in
1920 In which he was charged
with saying the negroes were nt
ready to assume the burdens end
responsibilities of government.
The combined opposition of
these two groups split the admini
stration republican ranks un4
brought about the defeat.
Parker was supported by 2 ! re
publicans and 10 democrats, while
17 republicans, 23 democrats a4
the lone farmer-labor senator re
posed him.
Contest One of Warmest
Held In Recent Years
The vote was one of the rlet
and the fight was one of the meet
hotly contested in recent senate
history.
Not until the final roll call wan
ended was either side sure of the
outcome. The vote came at a fctlp
ulated hour and the galleries and
tne iioor were crowaea. .Mesaeer
of the house crowded into the
chamber and stood about the walls
as the decision approached.
A change of one vote would
have put the issue to Vice Presi
dent Curtis and he was in the pre
siding officer's chair ready te rait
if necessary. In calm, low voice,
Mr. Curtis announced the result.
There was a murmur and the Yo
battle was ended.
