- The most potent reason for the
suspicion was the highly unusual
circumstances surrounding the
Spaulding mill fire - of Friday
night. . At first it was thought
that the flames were confined to
a spot near the "hog in the low

gation revealed that a seeoad fire
had started near the big saws. In
oil and waste at the big belts and
pulley which run tne saws. ;-
It was obvious that the blaze
under-the mill and in the maU
level had been started by differ
ent fires.
The fact that all four fires
were on industrial or' semi-industrial
property and the added co
incidence that the blazes all eame
within a 72-hour period 'also
aroused suspicion.

Southern California Never

By PAUL ZIMMERMAN.
Associated Press Sports Writer
LOS ANGELES, CaL, Dec. .
(AP) Rockne's Roughrlders
from Notre Dame, prancing be
hind miraculous Interference,
staged their last wild charge to
day and trampled Southern Cali
fornia into a 27-to-0 defeat.
Paul "Buckly O'Connor, trans
planted from halfback to fullback
and one of Wise Knute's few Irish
men, was the youth who spread
the alarm to the Trojans, with
Marty Brill and Marchmont
Schwarts galloping closely at his
side. '
-Their mad dashes struck terror
In the ranks of Coach Howard
Jones valiant eleven and carried
the Invading troop" from South
Bend through its nineteenth
straight triumph in two glorious
seasons. -
No Hector to Lead;
Notre Dame Goal Safe
Unlike their ancestors of myth
ology, the men of Troy could find
no Hector to lead the vaunted of
fense, with the result that through
60 minutes of the nerve shatter
lag spectacle.-Notre Dame's goal
was never so much aa threatenea.
, Defeat brought the number of
rerersals to four for Southern
California against one victory In
Its Notre Dame series. It was the
most ' decisive trouncing . either
team ever accepted in the annals
of the intersections! play.
More than 10.000 frantle foot
ball followers shouted and groan
ed throughout the startling fray,
whleh stamped Coach Rockne's
ramblers as probably the greatest
eleven the country has seen in a
decade.
Southern California's dashing
backs found , their Interference
fragile before the rushing4 Rockne
line, and their passing attack was
pierced with constant Intercep
tions by the . secondary defense
when touchdown marches seemed
well under way. -Attack
so Baffling
Trojans Conldnt Solve It.
Notre Dame's attack 'was so
baffling tbat at no time could the
Trojan- defense organise Itself
against the unstopable assault.
From the start there was no
doubt as to the outcome. Notre
Dame walked right down the
field - from the opening ' kickoff.
Southern California rose up to
stop the threat and held for
downs, but a bad pass from Tro
jan Center Stanley Williamson
was recovered by Alvln Culver,
Irish tackle, on the first play.
Like a flash the Riders charg
ed. Scharts flipped an 11 -yard
nass to Frank Carldeo. the un
paralleled Quarterback, who saun-
tered the remaining eignt yarns
untouched by Trojan hands, and
the game was won. I
It was only a few plays later
that O'Connor's long . eventful
Journey of 80 yards brought the
second touchdown. Southern Cali
fornia had moved well into Notre
Dame scoring regions when Mar
shall Duffleld. Trojan quarter, re-
ucosered a bad pass from center.
and displaying a marvelous bit or
head work, quickly kicked over the
goal r line as the line rushed In
upon him.
O'Connor Makes Brilliant
Ran for -Second Touchdown ,
The yard-saving feat was of no
avail, for on the first play O'Con
nor broke away. It was a reserve
and a lateral from Brill which
pulled Troy's secondary defense
aside. - O'Connor filtered through,
the line, cut back to the sidelines,
and sped across the goal, after
pivoting away from Erny Plnckert,
Troys star halfback.
The second period went without
a score, although. Carldeo passed
to Dan Hanley across the goal
line, only to have the play called
back and Notre Dame penalised
for holding. i
Coach Rockne, In a gesture of
respect to Larry "Moon" MuIHns, j
fullback whose injured knee pro-
vented htm from starting the con-
test, sent the 'South Pasadena, j
CaL, youth into the game on the
kickoff for one play and then re
placed him. It was Muillns last
game for Ndtre Dame.
Then the parade of the Rough-
riders started again. Schwarts
sifted through for a run of SO
yards. An offside penalty put the
ball on Troy's seven-yard line.
One of those demoralizing later
als, Schwarts to O'Connor,
brought the touchdown. " That

Question Comes up at Last
Minute of Annual Meet;
I No Action
A beated and lively discussion,
precipitated by a last minute mo
tion tbat the organization go on

of Marlon county school officers
held at the court house all day
Saturday. Sixty! school board
members attended.
The association did not pass

arising from the motion kept the
officers nearly an ' hour longer
than the closing time and
brought : out some thoughtful
Ideas both for and against free

' Another matter! In which con
siderable discussion was In
dulged ; but in which no action
was taken was high school trans
portation. 1 In view of fact that
legislature will be In session
next month, the officers argued
proposed changes to the present

gestions will be thoroughly con
sidered by the legislative com
mittee appointed at -the meeting
yesterday: J. W. Mayo, Stayton,
chairman; John Marshall, Swe

much Interest wss developed In

to answer questions regarding

HISTORY
Early Blaze Gutters
Walls of Concrete;
Control Fails
3 Traihloatls of Pep 2 r
Up in Smoke; Cov
erage Partial .
' The most costly and one ef fnw
most spectacular fires in the his
tory of Salem swept the 170x170
foot Larmer warehouse early fiaU
urday morning and left a loss,
partly covered by insurance,
which yesterday afternoon neared
$050,000.
The three-story and baseatent.
reinforced concrete structure at
North High and Liberty street
was completely gutted by the
flames and only a tottering south'
wall and a portion of the front
of the warehouse was left guard
over the burning remnants late
last night. I
The cause of the fire Is as yet a
mystery. Alblt Fox, foreman of
Larmer' trucking squad, was-the
first to the building at 0:30 a.m.
yesterday. ' Through the base,
windows he saw flames. Fox did
not unlock the door of the ware
house where his truck was stored
but dashed to Dan Larmer's
house to summon the fire depart
ment. ........... i
So fast did the blase sweep
the basement of the huge ware
house that all efforts of the fire
department to check the flames
were unsuccessful and after a few
minutes, their work was confined
to protecting nearby structures.
Property destroyed by the fire
Includes:
The wsrehouse structure a
1100,000 reinforced concrete
plant, a cording- to Larmer, who
built the warehouse late ia 1137,
Finished paper belonging to
the Oregon Pulp and Paper com
pany here and awaiting shipment,
consisting of 11,000,000 pounds
or three tratnloads valued at .
$150,000.
More than 0365 bales of bopg,
of an average value of S3 3 a bale.
a total of approximately $300,00.
Twenty-six barrels of nesner-
mint oil valued at $34,000.
Hundreds of miscellaneoes
groups of furniture and personal
belongings whose owners, many
of whom live In various parts of
Oregon and the United States.
cannot be fully known until re
cords in the Larmer wareheute
safe are recovered. Larmer esti
mated yesterday that the value of
this property was fully $150.0C.
Miscellaneous goods held for
storage, the value running from
$10,000 to $25,000.
The total destruction, from
this summary, will run close to
$050,000.
Insurance was carried in vary
ing degrees on the lost oronertr.
Karl Heinleln, office manager of
tne paper company here, said vir
tually full coverage was carried
on all the finished paper owned
by his mill. While many grow
ers owned the bops and the exact
amount of insurance could not be
determined yesterday, it was felt
certain by growers such at T. A.
Llvesley that th hop crop was
well protected by Insurance.
On the warehouse plant Itself.
Larmer carried only $15,000. He
estimated his lost yesterday at
fully $85,000. -
The amount of insurance plac-
on the hundreds of outfits of fur
niture and personal belongta?,
all of which were stored on the
third floor, eannot be readily as
certained. Under the provisions
crashed to earth prodded by tons
ed, each owner assumed the lia
bility for damage by fire.
As the flames progressed, trap
ped by the thick outer walls of
reinforced concrete, they ate rav
enously of the heavy timbers,
posts and flooring which formed
the three main stories and base-,
ment of the building.
The Intense heat soon melted
the steel caps supporting the huge
beams on -which the floors were
laid. As these beams started to
fall under their heavy load, they
buckled. This ' Intense strain '
stoved out the concrete walls aa
though they were paper and they
crashed toe art a prodded by toas
Lpf pressure from the falllas
floors
Only the south and a portion
of the east walls stood and tte
south wall last night was in im
minent danger of collapse. It was
tilted fully 15 degrees to the
south and residents of the Vir
ginia apartments, 20 feet from
the warehouse, evacuated U
property. Fire Chief Hutton sat J
