However unless Willam ette defeats Pacific next Satur day at Portland, Whitman must be content with a tie for the con ference title, having been held to a tie by Pacific which is also still undefeated. Whitman's well oiled overhead attack worked once in scoring territory and pared the way for one touchdown, and its alertness and smartness capitalized a break for the other. Aside from those two sallies across Willam ette's goal line, the Missionaries were able to hold the Bearcats at a safe distance for the most part but were unable to advance con sistently themselves except In mldfleld. Applegate Chief Star of Affray Diminutive "Buddy" Apple gate, Whitman Quarterback, was the shining light of the game.

No Bearcat was within yards of Llndman as he stepped across the goal line. Interception Spoil Chance Willamette's best scoring chance came in the first period when reverse plays carried it to Whitman's 38-yard line, there to lose the ball on a fumble.

(AP) Mike Harris, 81, reported to police tonight two men, pos gJBiiefe Program Centers on e - City Budget, Report Reduction There From $8000 Asked. Calcu lated to Cripple Work and Encourage Other Slashes, Opponents' View Report Saturday was to the effect that the effort to wreck the Marion county health program would center in an endeavor to cut the city budget allowance for the health work 2000. This would result in the county's making a similar cut, and the Salem school district, which would make a total reduction of $6000 in the allowance for the : O health unit work. nriirnn nilir lin I mm Givt w FIGHTfOR PRICE Wholesalers' Move to Stop Supply is Effective;! Law now Viewed Major gasoline dealers In Sa lem admitted at , midnight that they were .linked, at least tempor arily, and pushed the retail price of gasoline back to 24 cents from the 21 cent level where it had been held for several days at a marked sacrifice in profits to the dealer. Declaring It was against their wish to hold the price at a retail level fpjur cents above Port land selling prices, the dealers late yesterday Joined In a state ment that any other price level be low the 24 cent mark would mean that the 1 combine ot wholesale gasoline dealers would refuse longer to . deliver gasoline to them. Dealers were at a lobs to know how long the unfair discrimina tion would exist. Approximately ten days ago the wholesale price of gasoline In Portland was cut to 18 cents a gallon. Salem deal ers Immediately asked that the price to them be cut to 17 cents a gallon, maintaining the 1 cent differential which they have accepted In wholesale prices be tween the two cities. The wholesalers refused the re quest whereupon the dealers here cut the retail price to 2iH cents, voluntarily slicing their profits 2. cents a gallon with the hope that the wholesalers would come to time and reduce the selling price to the retailers. Instead, according to the retail dealers here, the wholesalers slashed back with a demand that they Immediately Increase the retail price to 24 cents or be faced with an inability to buy gasoline at wholesale. Last night District Attorney Carson was consulted regarding the apparent combine In restraint of trade and said while he thought the case was clearly one In violation of the an tl-trust act. any ' action was outside his pro vince. Since Oregon has no anti-trust legislation, Carson said, any. pro cedure against the combining companies must originate either with the United States attorney in Portland or with' the department of commerce of the federal gov ernment. Meantime Salem citizens be ginning at midnight Saturday were paying a four cent differ ential for gasoline which cost only three-fourths of one cent more to ship to this city than to Portland.

(AP) Alfred and Conrad Swen son, brothers, of Portland, are In a hospital here suffering from severe burns received during a tire on their halibut boat Enter prise. I The two men were fishing In the Columbia river oft Warrenton today when the boat caught fire from engine backfire The boat was virtually destroyed before the men reached shore where they were given help. .The unit already faces a loss of nearly 812,000 due to the withdrawal of support by the Commonwealth Fund; and the further eut of $6000 would ser iously cripple Its work, in the opinion of friends of the organ ization. The city budget makes the same ' allotment ot funds as last year: 88000, for its share of the support of the county health unit. The other largest contri butors are the Salem school dis trict and Marlon county. The effort to cut the appropriation 82000 Is said to indicate that opponents of the health unit in the council, recognizing , that they could not knock out the whole thing, are using the whit tling down method. Alderman Vandevort has been heading opposition in the coun cil to the health unit ever since his bill to repeal the city milk ordinance which the health unit sponsored, was killed by the city council. He recently visited the county court in an attempt to get the commissioners to agree to kill the whole appropriation but is said to have gotten no en couragement in that quarter. 'PEKIfllW JUST SHANGHAI. Nov. 22 (AP) Commenting on reports published abroad that Sir Bland-Sutton had declared the famous "Pekin man" skull to tre.that of a gorilla, mem bers of the Shanghai Medical so ciety said tonight the eminent English surgeon's opinion was not conclusive. They said Sir John, who talked to many of them while here and now is on the way to Hong Kong, told them from a cursory exam ination his first impression was the skull appeared more like that of an advanced anthropoid ape than of a human. He emphasized to them, however, that definite conclusions would be possible on ly with extensive study. The discovery of the "Pekin man" skull a year ago aroused wide interest. Dr. Davidson Black, who studied the find, at first believed it that of a grown man but later said it probable was the skull of a girl. A similar skull was found two months ago in the same area! 6 KILLED DUE TO LOS ANGELES.

Preliminary discussion was held last week Monday but a de tailed examination of the tenta tive budget awaited its printing and the return of Alderman Ellis Purvlne who was unable to attend the last meeting" because of sick ness. , ; . y , - . First printed covles ot the new budget were released Saturday and conformed in most respects to the typewritten estimates which eouncllmen were handed last week. Salary Cut for Employee Talked Rumors were about town Sat urday that some members of the council would ask for a general ten per cent cut of all salaries of employed officials but Ellis Pur vine said he did not treat the matter seriously. Purvlne said he would' not' favor such' a slash In the salary items. It is also understood that Al derman Henry Vandevort will op pose the 88000 Item in the city budget appropriated for city co operation with the Marion county health unit. This is the same sum spent under the 1930 appro priation. Purvlne pointed out yesterday that of the total amount of 8409, 278 which is the tentative levy, 8234,587 consists of expenditures voted by the people under special millage and bond issues appro priations while only 8174,688 is for general operating expenses ot the city appropriated by the coun cil directly for the costs of city government. 1 Suggested Levy In aide Limitation The amount to be levied by the council under the proposed bud get Is slightly In excess of a year ago and well within the six per cent limitation which makes it il legal for the council to appropri ate more than six per cent in ex cess of the budget of the previous year. One item confronting the eoun cllmen will be the handling ot the payment of a bond issue of 1920 of 820,000, the bends com ing due in October, 1930. No provision was made in the 1930 budget for the retirement of these bonds, the plan being to refund them. When they matured the bonds were paid out of general bond sinking funds by City Treas ured Rice. Under the tentative budget to be submitted tomorrow night 820,000 is included for the retirement of these bonds, the money actually going to replenish the moneys advanced from gener al bonds funds to pay the 820, 000 Issue.
