"Absolutely. Politically, prac-

Th general was cautioned " to

Have limitations.
"How do you know you believe

-I do. u' a good thing. Bat th

there would be no cnange

v tell." replied the major-general.
The ' questions veered" to th
state police act. . .
"What has been tee experience,
ral In eastern states?'
Tm found sUte police forces
much more economical and efti-
cicnt man omw oiom. - -Tnir
fjMnw York established
hra In HO I believe. Pennsyl-
t.hIi. and New Jersey both hare
.rtifiant nvstems."
The general was Insistent that
the "coal and iron police," private-
i : maintained euardsmen em
ployed by Industry should not be
Mufiucii with state nonce, "much
of the criticism of state police
has been against these men who
are private employes," the gen-
; eral emphasised. - . , ,
"You've spoken about hiring
- only single men for state constab
ulary positions; is. that fair to
men -who want to make a career
In police work?" the general was
asked.
After They're In
, Butler repUed: "I don't favor
any rules which would not per
mit men to marry, after they are
in the state police. It's like the
marines: theT can't marry be-
JOB
fore they go in; afterwards prob- tracked by the animal he Is seek
ably 2 per cent marry. There's I ing, which may spring on him at
a certain amount of drudgery,
certain rough work which the
new recruit should handle which
a married man can't so reason
ably perform because of home re
sponsibilities." Butler was asked if the Penn
sylvania system included game
law supervision among duties of
the constabulary. He said it did
not, to his knowledge.
The conversation drifted t
Oreeon.
'It's a wonderful state; a beau
tiful state: none finer," said the
general. "I've been over that Co-
lumbia river highway. None like
it; people don't need to go to
Europe for scenery; there's noth-
ing like that - In Europe." I
Asked about the Willamette I
valley through which the general j
drove yesterday for the first time, i
he admitted he had seen little. 1 1

Then it was conference time.

Ticklish Capture
s.w mttn baa wild animals In
cages realise the vast amount of
trouble, danger and expense ne
rmtirr to ret them there. The
greatest danger Ilea In capturing
the wild animals in their native
country. With the Al O. Barnes
Circus which will give two per
formances in : Salem ; Saturday.
May 23, there are several hand red
wOd animals, most of which were
captured in the f oreais and Jun
gles of their native country.
There is no 1 more ticklish or
dangerous task than tracking
lions in tbe vast Nubian deserts.
The scorching sun s- pours down
with such force that few men can
stand it. The effect on the eyes
is blinding. There is little or no
shade. The wariest and most care
ful hunter may be tracking an
animal, and at the same time be
any moment.
For capturing full-grown lions.
large traps of various forms are
used. One trap Is square, one
of the sides lifting upon a spring
like the old-fashioned mouse trap.
This trap is baited with a piece
of fresh meat, and as soon as the
lion has entered the trap the door
shuts down and he is a prisoner.
More than a score of lions with
the Al 0. Baimes Circus were cap
tared in this manner.
Elephants, are generally caught
In nooses. - A number of men
surround the elephant after they
have previously formed a circle
of fire about th beast The fire
gets closer and closer to the ele-
phant. and finally a noose is
thrown over his head. He Is then
securely tied to a tree and allowed
to remain there until quiet. Tame
eli
elephants are then brought into
use. and appear to be sort of per
suasive In making the huge ani
mals tractable. ;
la catching aaakes, various de
vices are used, i One Is to set the
grass on fire In a circle where it
is known that snakes have hiding
places. As they rush out they
are caught in large nets mounted
on wooden hoops, to which is at
tached a large bag.
Doors to the big show will be
opened at 1 and 7 p.m. The per
formances begin aa hour- later.
There will be no street narada
I here or In any other city; a policy
I that was adopted eight years ago.
