Matter Involved may
Reach U. S. Court
Ross Believes
Custer E. Ross, one of the
attorneys defending Bower in the
tuition case, said Tuesda after
noon be was well pleased with
the supreme . court's, decision.
Asked if ffie decision would be
carried to the United States su
preme court, Ross said he knew
of no such action being determ
ined upon by) Weinacht and his
associates. Ross said there was
plainly a federal question raised
and one which the United States
supreme court would rule upon
If the matter were brought before
it. Ross was not certain if the
supreme court of the United
States would have authority
further to enjoin tuition tax pay
ment while the point of the
law's constitutionality was be
fore it. L.
Ross pointed out that the de
fect in the tuition law pointed
out by the Oregon supreme court
was one readily remedied by the
state legislature. "If the method
of valuation of school properties
for making i of an Interest
charge was set forth by law and
provision made that the taxpayer
of the non-union districts could
appeal from the district's valu
ation and Interest charge to the
county court, the criticism upheld
by the Btate supreme court would
be fully met.'yRoss declared.
Mountaineer Tells Story
Which may Shed Light
On Mopney's Case
PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. il
(AP) Belief that he was the un
witting carrier of the suitcase
bomb which exploded during the
San Francisco Preparedness day
parade July 22, 1926. killing ten
persons and Injuring 42 others
and sending Tom . Mooney ' and
Warren K. Billings to prison for
life, convicted: of perpetrating the
crime, was expressed by Paul M
Calllcotte, 32, well known Port'
land mountaineer in a signed
statement appearing in tomor
row's Oregonian.
Calllcotte, after voluntarily
telling his story to police detec
tives here tonight, was ordered
held without; bail as 4 fugitive
from San Francisco. Detectives
indicated they were disinclined to
give full credence to his state
ment, In which they quoted him
as disclosing j he had attempted
unsuccessfully; to sell the story
two years ago under a fictitious
name to an j eastern magazine.
They announced, however, a thor
ough investigation would be made
and the information turned over
to California authorities.
The mountaineer, a guide on
snow-capped Mount Hood for sev
eral years, stated that he was
promised and paid $ for carrying
a suitcase from Oakland to San
Francisco on the day of the pa
rade; that only a few minutes be
fore the tragic blast at 2:06 p. m..
he placed the suitcase at the exact
spot where the explosion occurred
at Steuart and Market streets.

27 A hurricane swirled through.
Puerto Rico today and lomberAd
on, leaving a death toll that. pro
bably will mount into hundreds,
and property damage that will
finally be calculated in many mil
lions of dollars.
Governor James R. Beverly to
night estimated the dead at more
than 200 and the injured at 1,
000. It was the "storm of San Eus-
eplo" named on the feast day of
that saint last Monday, when tbe
dread winds first started their re
lentless northwestward course out
of the equatorial Atlantic.
Tonight all was over, and much
of the island was devastated just
as It was by the storm of San Fe
lipe in 1928, when hundreds lost
their lives and many millions in
property damage was wrought.
Governor Beverly lost no time
in starting relief machinery and
late today had formed an emer
gency committee and given It in
structions to find shelter and food
for the many thousands of desti
tute and homeless.
Father Gutierrez Lanza of Belen
observatory said tonight the cen
ter of the tropical hurricane
sweeping through the West In
dies was over Samana Bay," Santo
Domingo at 8:30 p. m. Its speed
was calculated at 10 miles an

PORTLAND. Ore.. Sept. 27
( API A fire which anread rapid

of Portland's city limits, de
stroyed one residence and threat
ened several others, was brought
under control tonight through the
efforts of 100 emergency road
construction men and scores of
other fire fighters.
Efforts of the emergency crew
were credited with having saved
three homes and a water tank in
the fire's path after the flames
had reduced the home of Martin
Vernon, just over the Clackamas
county line, to ashes.
About people, exhibits and

Youll see fast enough whew
you get out there.
Salem material dealers and con
tractors optimistic enough to
think that the mountain water
Idea will ever get beyond the
court stage should get an eyeful
of an Inconspicuous exhibit in the
forestry building. It is a piece of
Douglas fir water pipe taken from
Seattle's mother earth 11 years
after it had been layed. It was In
perfect condition after that period
of service, laboratory tests
showed.
All of which leads George
Pearson, who. boosts .the lum
ber Industry as Oregon's great
est land product, to eplae that
wood water pipes will be about
fiO per cent cheaper than the
nearest material and a third
cheaper than cast Iron pipe.
But this Is no lumber sale talk.

which -even Fair Director Max
Gehlbar can't find a flaw, co aspir
ing to draw the enthusiasm of lo
cal people, 'Salem day today at the
state fair is expected to draw the
largest crowd of the year and
perhaps a record breaker.
Three other elements of the
crowd-getting alliance are: Cles

for part of the day; exceptionally
fine exhibits In the major depart
ments: and the best musical en
tertainment of the fair, including
appearance of the Salem national
champion drum corps. -
And that doesn't include tie
free afternoon Strawberry Roan
rodeo which continues to hold the
interest of crowds, or' the Night
Stampede. The crowd at the aft

thrill when a rider fell from his
horse even though for no appar

sulted, although he was rushed
off in an ambulence.
Night Stampede

The night stampede drew a
good crowd, and again last night
