peacefully at anchor here tonight
at the end of the first leg of her
Toyage from Prledrichshafen, Ger

Twenty four hours from her

the heat wave.
When her passengers and offi
cers had disembarked and the
former had gone to hotels, thou
sands In the vast throng that
greeted the airship remained to
witness the preparations for her

NEW YORK, May 19. (AP)
James Baker who says he baa
killed nine men and wonld not
mind dying in the electric chair if
they'll broadcast his last words,
went on trial for his life today.
He Is being tried for the mur
der of Henry Gaw, night watch
man In the Guggenheim labora
tories here, who was found dead
a year ago last December in the
laboratory, a telephone book torn
In half on his chest. Baker Is al
leged to have confessed he forced
Gaw to drink poisoned coffee at a
pistol point. He is a former em
ployee of the laboratory.
James D. C. Murray, Baker's
attorney, insists his client Is in
sane. Seven of the nine murders
Baker claims to have committed
have never been traced, which led
police to doubt his sanity.
Only the Gaw murder here and
that of a taxicab chauffeur in De
troit where he hid while police
sought him, have definitely been
traced to Baker.

Veteran Member of Salem's
Law Making Body Leaves
Job to Successor
Salem's municipal airport fund is "in the red" with $5000
spent since the first of the year of which the airport commit
tee had no knowledge, it was declared Monday night at the
city council meeting by E. A. Rhoten, chairman of the com
mittee. The result was action looking toward a complete invest!-,
gation and report on the expenditure of the 550,000 provided
by a bond issue for construction of the airport, this report to
i OinTnrl mirvpv tf wViaf iVio
patronage of the flying field
amounts to at present and
what it is likely to be in the
near future, with an estimate of
probable revenues.
Mr. Rhoten In his oral state
ment said no report of any re
ceipts had been made to him, any
more than a report on the ex
penditures. No bill had been pre
sented to him for approval, al
though the list of bills to be
passed upon at this meeting con
tained one small one to be paid
out of the airport fund.
Committee Found In
Embarrassing: Situation
No Intimation was contained In
Mr. Rhoten's statement that funds
of the airport had been misspent.
He said he presumed the expendi
ture of most of the $5000 paid
out since the first of the year was
on old bills, but the situation was
embarrassing because the council
had recently authorized an addi
tional expenditure on the com
mittee's statement that fnnds
were available, and the commit
tee found afterward that fnnds
were not available.
This announcement brought de
mands from Aldermen Patton and
Vandevort that the whole matter
be Investigated, and from several
aldermen that the rule requiring
all bills to be signed by committee
chairmen responsible for the va
rious municipal activities be ad
hered to strictly.
AJrpot Is Orphan
Says City Recorder
' ' Mark Poulsen, city recorder.
explained that this rule was being
followed In all eases except the
airport, the - exception coming
about because a special commit
tee formerly had charge of the
airport fund. He described the
airport as "an orphan" and said
bills approved by the airport su
perintendent, Le Eyerly, had
been honored.
"It may be an orphan, but they
are buying It a lot of expensive
baby clothes," interjected Alder
man Dancy, from the mayor's
(Turn to page 2, col. fi)
W. W. Rosebraugh. member of
the city council representing the
second ward for the last seven
and one-half years, submitted his
resignation as alderman Monday
nigbt, to take effect at the close
of the meeting. The resignation
was accepted and S- A. Hughes
was elected by the council to fill
the vacancy.
Mr. Hughes was elected by the
voters of the second ward last Fri
day to succeed Mrt Rosebraugh In
January for a four year term, and
according to law he would have
filled the vacancy created by Mr.
Rosebraugh's resignation, even
without the action taken by the
council.
No reason was given by Mr.
Rosebraugh for his resignation
other than that it was necessitat
ed hy his private business. How
ever, he has stated several times'
recently that he was not In posi
tion to give the time to eity af
fairs which the office of alderman
required. ' ' '"'
The vote In the election of last
Friday had not been certified to
the council Monday night, and
several matters which loomed up
as a result of the electorate's ex
pression were passed over with
out comment.
One of these was the question
as to whether Paul Hendricks was
or was not entitled to take the
place of E. A. Rhoten as alder
man from the seventh ward, and
George Averett entitled to take
the place of B. B. Herrick for the
fourth ward.
Mr. Rhoten has stated that
there is no misunderstanding ever
this quefjtion between himself and
Mr. Hendricks. Whenever the lat
ter Is ready to take his place on
the council, Mr. Rhoten will step
out, he indicated.
Just what the law provides on
this j question has not been de
termined, as the city attorney has
not been asked for an opinion.
However, it Is recalled that when
a similar situation arose two
years ago after the . November
election, the newly elected alder
man was not seated.
The question of municipal own
ership of the water system was
not brought up, and it was indi
cated that formal action toward
purchase by the city would await
the declaration of the election's
result by Mayor LIvesley, who is
out of the city.

WASHINGTON, May 19 (AP)
From the decks of the cruiser
Salt Lake City, president Hoover
tomorrow off the Virginia capes

and publisher, told members of the chamber of commerce
here Monday that the Mission Bottom site recently dedicated

should become a shrine for
all oncoming generations.
This site, established by Jason
Lee on Monday, October 6, 1834,
as the location for the first mis

which was to establish 'United

dricks declared.
He told members of the cham

secure the five to ten acres as a
permanent memorial to Jason Lee
and his followers and declared it
was a good thing "for history, for
Salem, for Oregon and for the
nation."

North 22nd from Marlon to Cen

Wednesday night, Frank Cain,
drum corps manager, announced
Monday. These dances will play
a part in the raising of funds to
equip the drum corps men with
new uniforms. The dance at the
armory on election night was well
patronised and gave the fund cam
paign a good aendoff. .
The much dtacused new aillc
ordinance was passed Monday
night by the city council after
some of the amendments proposed
by the health and sanitation eem
mittee had been incorporated aad
one important amendment reject
ed. According to Vernon A. Dog
las, city health officer, the new
ordinance in many respects safe
guards public health better tha
has been the case under the ex
isting ordinance.
However, the council struck ou4
the provisions which would have
safeguarded the supply of raw
milk coming into the city, some
of the aldermen being apparently
more interested in suiting the con
venience of a few small scale dis
tributors, than in averting possible
epidemics of disease among Sa
lem s children.
Small Producers and
Distributers Protected
When the ordinance was draft
ed by health department, il pro
vided that raw milk must be bot
tled at the place of production.
That didn't suit the small cale
distributors, so the health and
sanitation committee of the coua
cil cut out that section and sub
stituted on requiring the milk to
be cooled at the place of produc
tion.
Still the distributors complain
ed, so it was attempted Monday
night to modify the requirement
still further and prescribe only
that raw milk be marked with a
cap label, showing its source, and
that milk from different farms
be not mixed.
Distributers Given
Virtually Free Hand
But the distributors, with the
friendly aid of Aldermen Vande
vort, Patton, and Rhoten, succeed
ed in getting that cut out, too, to
that raw milk may be handled in
almost any way the distributors
see fit and still labeled "jrade
A" so long as the inspector Aeesn't
test any of it that falls to quality.
One of the provisions left in vct
that grade A milk, either raw or
pasteurized, must contain t.t per

Frank H. Madden of Seattle,
northwest manager for Reid, Mur
doch and company came in Sunday
afternoon to pay a visit at the
company's packing plant here. He
found the rhubarb run being con
cluded and the run on gooseber
ries and strawberries to start to
day. The first deliveries of straw
berries were made yesterday but
it will be a week before the quan
tities will be large enough for big
runs.
"Canneries are. entering the
1930 season in, pretty good
shape," Mr. Madden said-. "In the
northwest there is some .carry
over" of pears, but most ' of the
other fruits have been cleaned up.
While prices of fanned goods have
shown a weakening tendency in
sympathy with other products,
there Is no pronounced weakness
and the markets seem to be fairly
well stabilised. ; The' ' price on
strawberries is ranging around 6
