Official Call
WASHINGTON, June 6. (AP)
Left talking to themselves to
day by Bishop James Cannon,
members of the7 senate lobby com
mlttee awaited return of Chair
man Caraway to determine what
they should do about the defiant
churchman.
Calling back over his shoulder
that he would be in his office if
the committee wanted to sub
poena him. Cannon walked out of
the committee room while Senator
Blaine, republican, Wisconsin, was
asking him questions.
The bishop remained only long
enough to tell the committee he
was no longer a voluntary wit
ness and he would answer no more
questions whatever unless sub
poenaed. He had " refused to tell
the committee of his 1928 activi
ties against Alfred E. Smith's can
didacy. j
Senator Walsh, democrat, Mon
tana, indignantly replied that the
bishop was not excused butreven
as he spoke, the defiant witness
picked up his lone crutch and
stalked from the room amid ap
plause and hisses.
Walsh termed the incident
"plain contempt of the senate,'
but beyond that did not indicate
what recommendation he would
make to the committee for future
action.

SPEAKERSHIP RE
Letters Being Sent Out Now
To Be Followed With
Personal Calls
James W. Mott said Thursday
that he would soon begin an act

of the 130 house. He began this
week writing letters to all candi
dates sure' of seats next January,
seeking their support. Mr. Mott
for three sessions represented
Clatsop county and this year poll
ed the greatest number of votes
in Marion county.
Mott concedes that Frank J.
Lonergan had something tike 30
Totes pledged to him at the end
of the 1929 session' for the 1931
speakership, but declares this
strength of the Portland candidate
has been broken up by results of
the May primary election.
LonergaM's Strength
Hit by Primaries
"Only about half of Lonergan's
pledges will return to the legis
lature," Mott said. "Some failed to
be nominated and some were not
candidates for nomination. Among
the large group of certain mem
bers who are at liberty to sup
port whom they please, tbe knowl
edge that Lonergan doubtless
would organize, or attempt to or
ganize the house against George
Joseph, isn't doing Lonergan any
good, so it seems to me that bis
chance for election to the speaker
ship has crumbled. These members
are assuming, of course, that Jos
eph will be governor."
As for the comparative situation
occupied by himself. Emmet How
ard of Eugene and Herbert Gor
don of Portland,-Mtt said be
thought, at present they had
about the same amount or

four insurmountable barriers in
the senate today but hurdled a
fifth In the house and tonight was
back in conference for the fourth

After Vice-Presrdent Curtis had
upheald four democratic points of

the house defeated 181 to 140, a
minority proposal to Instruct
house managers to accept the sen
ate's free listing of hides, leath
ers, and shoes.
The decision on the poiflla of
order automatically returned the
bill to conference. Both houses

sion was no surprise to "republican

of ten per cent on hides, from 12

President Hoover's nomination to

opened the controversy over pro
hibition enforcement in this re

BOMBAY. June 5. (AP)
Hostile episodes on the north
western frontier have taken the
spotlight from the nationalist salt
raiders in troubled Indian.
A warlike Lashkar (tribal
force) of Afridis and Zakka KheU
tonight was, advancing on the key
city of Peshawar, and while auth
orities here felt that troops of
the northwestern area would be
adequate to, deal with this ad
vance, there was some consterna
tion.
The Peshawar region has been
in a troubled state for some time.
The crisis arose on the night of
May 28th when Narl Kb war, an
outpost, was fired upon. On the
same day some 3.000 Kukl Khel
Afridis, carrying a red standard,
assembled at Mardan where they
were Joined May 30 by contingents
from the Malikdln Khel Kamber
and other Kukl Khels.
The combined sections, march
ing with eight standards, set out
that same day May 30 and on
June 1 were reported to have
reached a point in the Bara valley
about 18 miles from the Pesha
war district border.
Horde Divides
Into Two Parties
There they held a Jirga (coun
cil) for several days, discussing
whether to advance nearer Pesh
awar, and as a result split into
two parties. Tbe moderates stay
ed there, but the Lashkar or hos
tile element, continued to advance
and since has been Joined by
thousands of Zakka Khels.
Coupled with this it was re
ported unrest is Increasing among
tribes further north. On Tuesday
two busses hired by the frontier

NOT PUNNED
Absolutely no plans have been
made or are even in process of
formulation for starting another
Baptist church here, Rev. Robert
L. Payne, former pastor of the
First Baptist church and consid
ered leader of the group of 78
persons who withdrew from that
church Wednesday night, stated
last night
Payne said that he would con
tinue to operate independently as
he has done in the past few
weeks. It is the natural thing,
he agreed, for the group which
stepped out to organize a new
church. Payne stated he has
warned bis friends in tbe First
Baptist church not to leave it on
his account, telling them either
to get in and help the new pastor
or to get out entirely and not
hinder progress of the First
church.
"I believe those people who
took out tbeir letters did so only
in a spirit of helping the new pas
tor, for they felt they could not
stay in and worship in the true
spirit," the former pastor of the
church said.
Included in the list who have
withdrawn are a deacon, a trus
tee, three members, of the pulpit
committee and a former clerk.
While not verified, it is ru
mored another list bearing ap
proximately 100 names will be
presented In the future witn re
quest for church letters.
Payne reiterated the statement
that he had absolutely no plans
to head the new group, however
said that it would not be entirely
unexpected should the group or
ganize and ask him to take the
pastorate.

Petitions For Simeral
Reelection Circulated
Latest development in what
promises to be an excitingelectlon
of school board directors Is cir
culation of petitions for L. J.
Simeral, incumbent and member
of the board for the past nine
years. Simeral did not decide to
run until late yesterday, when two
groups immediately began circul
ating petitions for him.
No petitions had been filed with
the school clerk yesterday, but it
is generally believed tbey will be
filed by tonight for Dr. H. H.
Olinger, present chairman who is
ending four terms of service, Mrs.
Roy Keene, Dr. B. F. Pound and
Arthur H. Moore.' Henry CarL
whose name waa mentioned prom
inently -yesterday, said last nigbt
that he would not make the race.
With both Simeral and Olinger
expected to be in the contest, a
lively election is predicted. It Is
a safe! bet, however, that Olinger
will lead tbe entire field as ex
pressions from" every angle are
heard of the need to keep aim
on the board.
Simeral, in announcing last
night that be would run again,
said be will stand for as good or
better schools as any other city
or town in the state and that he
will adrocate Salem labor where-
erer possible in school construc
tion. Simeral has made a splendid
record In his nine years oa tbe
board. Two groups, one of labor
and one an Independent body, are
backing him.
Dr. B. F. Pound announced def
initely last night that he would
run, saying so many, names had
been attached to bis petitions that
he did not feel he could back out.
