Two Weeks to Help Organize Police j
GENERAL SMEDLEY BUTLER is to do Oregon by air,
Governor Meier announced yesterday, stating that the
Standard Oil company will provide an airplane for the gen
eral's use while he is "in the state. The machine will be
stationed at the Salem airport ready for the visitor's use at
any time he desires it.
General Butler will remain In O - i '
Oregon approximately two weeks,
according to present plans. He
has expressed a desire to visit
many sections of the state, which
would not be possible were he
to depend on train and bus serv
ice. The airplane will expedite
these trips. Governor Meier said,
and make it possible for him to
spend more time in Salem, where
the state police headquarters will
be located. - . . 'fC.
- Governor Meier . declared that
the threatened referendum of tbe
law creating the state police de
partment would not interfere
with or retard the organization
plans. Even though the com
pleted referendum petitions are
filed. Governor " Meier said he
did not believe the law would be
defeated at the general election.
The completed petitions ; would
have the effect, however, of de
ferring . operation of the police
department until after the gen
eral election in 1932.
Reports' received here indicat
ed' that Butler will be accom
panied to Oregon by two news
paper reporters from Phila
delphia. He also will be provid
ed with a secretary, and such
other clerical assistance as he
may require.

Clutching at each rumor In

ing the murder early last Satur
day morning of Night Police Of
ficer James Iverson of Silverton,
Sheriff O. D. Bower admitted
yesterday that investigators were
butting their heads against a
stone wall.
. While hope has flared up once
or twice that the murder's trail
bad been found, the sheriff said
yesterday that there is not a
single cine, with possible excep
tion of the T. R. Sims car, that
looks like a real help in solution
of the murder.
Lester H and S. E. Irvingham,
who have been held in the coun
ty and city jails since late Mon
day. probably will' be released
sometime today. Suspicion that
guns they were carrying might
have featured in the murder
have been routed with findings
that bullets In possession of ' one
of them was not of same calibre
as the bullet Imbedded in wood
work of the club pool hall, in
front of which Iverson was
felled.
A report from the Portland
police department Indicated that
Iverson was shot by a rifle, ana
not bv a revolver as first sus
pected. ' . ' '
Investigating officers appar
ently are not pinning much faith
on story of Mrs. Roy Frances of
Silverton that she saw two men
drive up to a walk in front ' of
her home, one of them alight
from the car and pick up from
the grass what she said was a
long gun. However, with report
of the Portland officers that the
shot was fired from a rifle, some
persons are inclined to attach
significance to . Mrs. Frances'
story. ' y ,
Officers " have only- this story
to go on should they push harder
search for these two men and it
would ha virtually Impossible 'to
trace them, the sheriff said, as
there is not even- knowledge as
to whfch direction they took
from Silverton.
