Friday night when Leonard
Z vicfcer, farmer of Umatilla coun
ty, was dragged from an automo
bile In which he was riding with
lit? brother. Otto Zwicker, pro
jector of the Salem Fluff Rug
and Mattress factory, and roughly
treated. He was forced to sign a
aiver agreement covering his e
jiv.it of nearly $15,000 in the
Fi-st Inland National bank of
ivndlnton, which has been closed
on holiday since October 18.
What is presumed to have been
thi? same strong-arm squad went
to Gresham and Saturday atter
r.non atacked J. C. Turner, aged
firmer, twisting his nose and
compelling him to sign a similar
vp.iver. Immediate publicity was

T .e Statesman had partial reports
Saturday of the Zwicker attack It
v.-as Impossible to verify the ru
tiors in time for publication Sun
day morning. The Pendleton
rroup later made a settlement
atisfactory to Mr. Zwicker so all
concerned kept the matter quiet.
The details ware learned on Mon
day. Leonard Zwicker came down
from Pendleton last week to visit
bis aged father who Is ill, and
ether relatives. One of his pur
poses also. It was stated, was to
-rape depositors' committees who
lad been besieging him to sign up
tn permit the bank to reopen. On
Wednesday two men from Pendle
ton called on him and persisted
q their efforts to get his signa
ture. He refused to sign on the
trms proposed In order to protect
a brother also farming in that
county, who was indebted to the
bank and in danger of being clos
ed out by them.
The Pendleton men sought the
intercession of local bankers to
effect an agreement because the
reopening of the bank was regard
ed as of prime importance to the
business life of Umatilla county.
Friday night a conference was
h' Id with a Salem banker as In
termediary. No agreement was ar
rived at but the local banker sent
t-rms to officials at Pendleton,
expecting the reply Saturday
morning.
Mr. Zwicker and his brother
tto then left the bank to retnrn
l:om. Men had peered into the
tank when the conference was in
progress, but they thought noth
ing of it. Passing along State
street to reach their ear they saw
ether cars with a group of men in
them. Two cars followed them as
they drove toward home at 13th
and Wilbur.
On South 12th street, they were
signalled to stop and about nine
men set upon them, first molest
ing Otto Zwicker by mistake
Then they roughly pulled Leonard
zwicker out of the car and twist
eu his nose severely. As he was
overpowered by numbers he sign
ci the waiver telling them it
ould be of no value. Zwicker did
ot know the names of the men:
but one said to have been in the
company was George Ferguson,
also reputed member of the
crowd at Gresham.
The Z wickers came back down
town and reported the matter to
the district attorney. The Pendle
ton crowd Saturday morning so
licited terms of settlement. They
finally agreed on terms which
Otto Zwicker said were far better
to his brother than what he had
previously offered to settle for.
Mr. Zwicker then signed the
agreement voluntarily and drop
ped ether charges. The matter
was closed np Saturday noon. It

80 Grocers Enthusiastic at
Meeting; Public Support
Also Needed, Shown
The first step in a new move
ment to buy Salem and Oregon
products was taken at a meeting
held at the ehamber of commerce
Monday night when 80 of the
leading grocers of the city met to
talk on home industries and home
made products.
These grocerymen met at the
Invitation of the industrial de
partment of the chamber of com
merce and the generous responses
indicated keen Interest and wil
lingness to cooperate in improv
ing local retail conditions espe
cially in handling home made
bread. Called upon for expressions
of opinion, grocerymen indicated
not only their interest in home
made bread and other home made
products, but an Intention to han
dle only these home made goods.
In several of the talks made by
the grocers, it was stressed that
the buying public and this espe
cially included the women, should
be educated to demand home
made goods. All expressed their
intention and willingness to han
dle home products but many said
only -Oregon goods would be sold
if the buying public would have
these products more in mind.
B. E. Sisson, president of the
chamber opened the meeting and
later called upon Howard E. Hul
sey, director of the Industrial de
partment of the chamber to pre
side. Those making short talks on
the advantage that would accrue
to Salem if home made products
were demanded were C. P. Bish
op, . L. wieaer, ran, aiarsnau.
Ed Kennedy, J. N. Chambers and
T. M. Hicks. The buying of home
made bread was especially stress
ed by Mr. Hicks.
"We feel the meeting was a
great success, ' said Mr. Sisson,
as the grocerymen expressed
themselves as not only interested
in featuring Salem products, but
many asked that another meeting
be held to discuss other matters
of Interest to the retail trade."

they" be the $5 advance of a pawn
broker, or the $300 maximum 8
per cent a month advance now
made by so-called "remedlan as

oratorical knots Monday and the
fight was not concluded until 4
p. m. As a result some SO house

would be impossible for that ses

The five bills dealing with the
small-loan business went through
a series of parliamentary man
euvers: first a motion to indefin

the measures, a step the house
immediately voted down.
Then came a bill by bill consid
eration accompanied by recurrent
considerations of the various
measures by committees of the
whole. When the house had con
cluded its activities, the follow
ing changes had been agreed upon
in existing laws:
Interest rates on pawnbroker's
loans were reduced from three to
two and one-half per cent a
month.

MIAMI. Fla.. Feb. 20. (AP)
As scornful of the law as when
he tried to assassinate President
elect Roosevelt last Wednesday
night, Guiseppe Zangara pleaded
guilty today to four counts of at
tempt to murder, and was sen
tenced to 80 years' imprisonment.
"Oh judge, don't be stingy. Give
me 100 years," me as-year-oia
prisoner shouted as he was led
from the courtroom. Then, laugh
ing in evident amusement, he fell
in step with his guards and was
led back to his prison cell.
Zangara's sentences of 20 years
on each count, running consecu

on both sides of the Question, the

nothing else la sight to meet the

President and Speaker Give

Hope of adjournment of the
37th session ot the legislature by
Saturday night was abandoned
yesterday by Speaker Snell and
Senate President Kiddle- when
both men admitted it would be
impossible to complete all pend

five days.
Both presiding officers were
hopeful last week end that the
session, now in its 42nd day,
could be ended with only one
week and one day consumed be
yond the legal limit of 40 days.
A day-long debate of the small
loan bills in the honse, with a
50-bill calendar virtually un
touched, caused the speaker to
change his predictions. The sen
ate passed a number of compara
tively minor measures yesterday
but was under a slow bell, waiting
major legislation to come in from
the house.
All legislators are now serving
without pay, the final per diem al

Leading the fight against the
sales tax were Ray Gill, master
ot the state grange, and Ben C.
Osborne, secretary of the State
Federation of Labor. They cover
ed practically the same ground
as during the special session. Gill
advocated increases in income and
Inheritance taxes, reducing of ex
penses and using state s credit to
carry the deficit. Others opposing
the tax were C. D. Springer, Linn
county farmer and Mr. Williams
of Washington county.
A group of Washington coun
ty farmers presented resolutions
asking tor relief from heavy prop
erty taxes, and calling for a con
stitutional amendment prohibiting
sueh levies. Mr. Haines ot Wash
