CRYSTAL AGAIN Recent Speeches Indicate He at Least Considers Running in 1934 Dog Days at Capitol are on But There's Plenty of Talk About Issues By SHELDON F. SACKETT These are dog days at the cap ital. The summer tedium is for- tunately relieved by coffee-counter and corridor talk which, like the brpok; flows on forever under j the dome. Enumerate the subjects most j mulled over and they are; Who's going to. be the next governor? - What's doing In the democratic ranks in Oregon? What about a special; session? Will there be a special session and If so, when? Herewith are the gleanings of one listener: ' 1 There Is firm money that Gov y ernor Meier will run, and as equally positive wagers the chief executive will be out of the lists long before May, 1934. The safest bet is that Meier himself doesn't know what he'll do, nor does bis ' Warwick, Henry Hansen. budge teef. publicist and politico.

The carefully prepared state ments issued by the governor ; show the old bag of tricks of '30: free power, low taxes, local tax reduction, sweetened up with a pledge to the legion men at Klam- ath Falls that the millage tax for the bonus commission would be- restored, a belated proffer of friendship considering the levy was entirely omitted in making the current state tax levy. - The governor very apparently " dislikes the routine of the office. , He is not eager for a knock-down- drag. out campaign which Is sure; to ensue it he seeks nomination ;. and election. He will not spend , the money In campaigning as he did so freely three years ago- The hydrophobiacs will not line up, nor the grangers, nor the Old Guard republicans. If Meier does , run, he would have to depend up on Incumbency, tax reduction, some brilliant moves like the state police, and a liberal war chest and statewide organization to be In the running. Nevertheless there is a certain ' glamor to public office and evi dently Mr. Meier has not been im y niunized against the blandish ' ments of publicity, power and - praise which accompany the gov- ernorship. He is by no means ready to renounce the crown as did Mr. CooUdge the August be t fore the presidential race of '28. Mr. Holman sees to it that the press carry some story about his work and plans as often as possi ble.: He is known to be-lining up an "organ" for 1934 with which to out-subsidlze the alleged "sub sidized press."

"We have had many reports that the NRA emblem was being used by firms which were doing nothing to comply with the pro visions required for the eagle's display," Ellis said. "This con dition must 'cease. It is not fair to business to have one man fol lowing the . rules and another not." . Ellis said the checkup would be carefully organized under the de partment headed by. T. A. Wlndl shar. Eagle Taken Down Cannot Fly Again "The NRA eagles must be used only by firms which comply or-the eagles must come down," Ellis declared. He added that it was his understanding that once the eagle was taken down, It was not to be restored. He said he plan ned a periodic checkup of firms as one of the activities of the lo cal NRA group. A drive to enlist consumers un der the NRA program will be forthcoming shortly, Ellis said. He thinks it unwise to push that drive now, 'pending sufficient time being given to all firms to enter NRA under a code adopted by their trade or profession. When time has been permitted, Ellis said a city-wide canvass to enroll consumers In NRA will be made. More captains were announced yesterday by the six majors named by Wlndlshar.

Reign of Described By Eye-Witness --o SALEM PAIR HELD Willys Pearcy, Oran Polk Involved in Holdup of Portland Taxi man Willys Pearcy, 19, and Oran Polk, 22, Salem youths with po lice records, were arrested early Saturday morning in Portland after they had allegedly robbed Fay F. Robertson of his money and . car. At police headquarters both admitted the holdup, police claimed. About 2 o'clock in the morning the young men summoned Robert son and asked him to drive them to a remote place on the east side. After stopping the-cab they held him up, took $4 and drove away In his cab. But Robertson was not through with the episode. After going to a nearby house and telephoning a description of the two men and his cab to police headquarters, he went back to his garage, got an other car and began searching the east side for the robbers. About 4 o'clock he recognized Pearcy at Southwest Fourth avnue and Al der street. He Immediately called an officer, who arrested Pearcy, and then went on with his search. About an hour later he saw Polk on Southwest Third avenue, again called the officer, and had Polk arrested. Pearcy, at first, de nied the robbery, but after Polk was captured he admitted it. As soon as Polk saw a bottle of whis key, taken from Pearcy and placed on Captain Keegan's desk, he said: "I see you've already got my partner." Pearcy was arrested about a year ago at Grants Pass by state police for a burglary said to have been committed In Salem. David O. Williams and Spencer D. Miller, J also of Salem, were implicated. When arrested the three youths had a car, stolen in Portland, and loot from the -Moore grocery, 2280 South High street, which had been burglarized twice. They were not prosecuted in Salem but were turned over to Portland authorl- , (Turn to page 2. Col. 1) - . 1 Hunger March to Capitol Earlym Week not Likely ' There appeared little probability yesterday that a "hunger march" would be made from Portland to Salem next Tuesday. Fred Wal ker, who last month announced that he would lead the march to the capltol, could not be reached Saturday in Portland for a state ment. No word had been received at the statehouse about the plans of the marchers. Portland newspaper attacks on Walker together with marked Im provement in employment condi tions the last CO days are thought to have dulled the fervor of. the march leaders. Walker made a fervid speech when he brought his marchers before the state legisla ture last Jan nary. Beer Selling is Basis of Arrest J. Breslin, manager of a gro cery at 245 North Commercial street, was arrested at 9 o'clock Saturday morning for selling , a non - Intoxicating beverage with out a license. It was reported that he had bought beer, stamps. but claimed that he did not know a license was necessary In order to sell, the beverage. He will he tried In police court at 10 a-m. 111 Monday, August 14. aprising there which cnlmiaated Saturday in the abdication of President Terror in Pig Carried From Palace Dubbed "Machado" And Killed; Angry mob Kills Secret Police; Gangsters are Shot Down by Soldiers By T. R. GILL (Copyright,' 1933, by the Associated Press) HAVANA Aug. 12 Arriving at the presidential palace today, amid a scene unequalled in Cuba's history, this correspondent saw the first acts of violence by angry mobs. The crowd, yellmg and cheering, ransacked the historic building from top to bottom. Machado and his predecessors to the streets until soldiers and sailors arrived to clear tne palace and restore order. The temper of the mob sudden ly changed from anger to hilar ity when several of the looters carried out a squealing pig. which they found In a crate In the building. "Machado! Machado!" they shouted, hoisting the pig high In the air and slamming it down on the pavement, killing it. Thunderous cheers filled the streets. Finally driven back by the soldiers, the mob remained or derly for a while and then rush ed Into the beautiful palace gar den and stripped It of all Its flowers, plants and shrubs. They wanted them for souvenirs. Presently, someone shouted a suggestion that the mob march to the headquarters of the secret police and "clean them out." Hoisting the leaders to their shoulders, part of. the demonstra tors started off toward the head quarters. The remainder pro ceeded in another direction. I followed the second group. but before I proceeded far, we ran Into a gun battle between soldiers and a gangster or "por rlsta," as they say in Spanish. It was not much of a fight, tor the soldiers quickly riddled the gangster with high powered rifle bullets and left him lying in the street. Crowds- on the sidewalks cheered. - Some of those who remained by the body, dipped their hand kerchiefs In the slain man's blood and waved them in the air amid resounding shouts. One of the most brutal killings I saw was when the mob caught and beat to death a policeman ac cused of recently having slain sev eral oppositionists. The killing occurred in front of the marble national capitol building. The mob beat the struggling policeman, with fists and clubs and then finished him off with guns. Cleaning Rates To be Uniform; 1929 Basis Set Cleaning, pressing and dyeing schedules went back to prices prevailing In 1929 yesterday fol lowing a meeting of the newly organised Salem Association of Cleaners 4b Dyers. The group tentatively adopted a trade of fair competition which forbids of fering of rebates to customers. Cleaning and pressing of men's suits la listed at: $1; pressing alone is to be. SO cents. During many months this year and last while a "war" raged, suits were pressed for 25 cents. - E. H. Kennedy was named temporary president of the new association, Chester Foreman was named temporary secretary while Wlllard Lange and Stanley Mc Donald were named on a commit tee . to work out an association code for Salem.

ALLOTTED ODEBON Over two Millions Added to Previous Amounts; to Employ 4300 men . PORTLAND, Oug. 12 (AP) C. J. Buck, regional forester in charge of the Pacific northwest district, announced today that $2,186,441 had been allotted to Oregon and $1,207,246 to Wash ington for forest highway con struction under the public works program of the NRA. The allotment of these funds, he said, Is made separately from the forest service money divided by the forest service and the Ore gon state highway department earlier in the week when $1,240, 000 was set aside for state and forest highway construction. The new allotments. Buck said, are In addition to the large pro gram of emergency work now be ing carried on under the civilian conservation corps. The regional forester said also Oregon will get $1,808,970 and Washington $1,493.883 for the construction of fire-truck roads and horse trails and other Im provements In the Interests of fire protection In the national for ests. It was estimated that the new allotments will provide six months of work for 4300 men In Oregon and 3200 in Washington between now and December 1, 1934. Due to the lateness of the season, it was believed most of the work will be done in the .1934 working season. MO I Y. W. C. A. Faces Crisis In Urgent Need of Funds By C. A.

Aug. 12. Gerardo Machado, abdicating today as president of Cuba, fled for his ' life In an airplane bound for Nas- . sau In the Bahamas while angry mobs dealt death and destruction to his adherents. At least 21 persons were slain. and more than , 200 Injured. More bodies may have been left on sldestreets, forgotten. A violent electric storm' this evening only temporarily halted the activities of the demonstrators. Manuel de Cespedes, former ambassador to the United States. was chosen by all political groups for provisional president. But con gress, which was to take action on this matter and Machado's request for a leave of absence, could not muster a quorum and did not meet. Too many Machado support ers were in hiding. Secretary of State Orestes Fer rara, who ordinarily would bare succeeded to the presidency, fled himself to Miami, Fla. Mobs running wild through the streets sought out Machado sup porters and shot them. down. They ransacked the presidential palace and destroyed newspaper offices and homes of Machado's promi nent backers. , - j Five of the secret political po lice, that dreaded branch of serv ice which had been a mainstay of the Machado regime, were killed by the crowds. The embattled Machado, finally defeated when his compact, well disciplined little army rebelled against him en masse, gave up the fight at 10 o'clock this morning and Bent to congress a request for leave of absence. Thus the main feature of the mediation plan sponsored by United States Ambassador Sumner Welles upon the authority of President Roosevelt and approved by government and opposition po litical groups in the Island repub lic retirement of President 31a chado was accomplished. Machado accepted the resigna tion of all members of his cabinet except Secretary of War Alberto Herrera, who as the only remain ing member of the government was expected to appoint Senor Cespedes secretary of state and then quit his own office. Cespedes then would legally become presi dent of the republic. In fact, Senor Cespedes became head of the state at once and be gan to construct his cabinet from members of all political factions, with a view to establishing a strong and stable government. Scenes of wildest disorder, eclipsing even those staged when Cuba gained its independence in 1901 were witnessed in the streets of Havana' today as a frensied populace celebrated. the overthrow of the government which had reigned since 1925. Riotous demonstrations took place throughout the city as thou sands of enthusiastic supporters of the military coup d'etat, armed (Turn topage 2. Col. 1) who use its rooms. But scores of women come . who are without funds, without 'friends; and must be given temporary shel ter. The Y. W. does this, and so may be described as tbe mother of the community for girls and women who have no homes. An important service the - T. W. renders Is that of providing employment for women. It la able weekly to place many women in situations, so they become earn ing, self-respecting individuals. Ia Salem going to let the doors of the T. W. C. A. be locked? Will this community offer no shelter for the woman who Is a wayfarer? Will It withhold .a helping hand to girls who are homeless, , distressed and dis heartened? Does' the "new deal" mean, the closed door to young women without , home anchors, who may thus be let adrift? The way the people respond to this urgent appeal from tbe board of .the tY. W, C . A. ' for funds - to " ; aupplement present pledgea . will be the answer to: these questions.- The . board is also hopeful that those with a o paid pledgea will make thir payment now - to meet the prev ent emergency.
