Remark in Barber Shop by
Portland man Recalled;
Vicinity is Combed
STAYTON. Nov. 20. (Special)
Supposed mysterious disappear
ance of A. C. Hepburn of Port
land, about 75, has caused consid
erable anxiety here. He was last
seen about 3:30 o'clock Saturday
afternoon between the flour mill
and Santlam river.
Hepburn came here from Port
land Saturday, supposedly as far
as Turner by train, as Charles
Cladek picked him up there and
brought him here. He entered
George Davie's barber shop, asked
ror a share, during coarse of
which he remarked that it was
"the last time anyone would
shave him." He asked Davie to
buy an old gold watch which was
"too good a watch to spoil". He
left the shop, leaving his suitcase
and overcoat there.
Deputy Sheriff Henry Smith
and 14 or 15 men have been comb
ing the country in search of the
aged man, and the water was
turned out of the mill ditch to no
avail.
Hepburn lived here 25 years
ago, working In the flour mill and
livery stable. It is thought he may
hare become despondent upon re
turning here and finding few peo
ple whom he knew and so many
changes. So far as is known, he
had but little money on him.
A daughter is believed to live
at Enumclaw, Washington, though
she has not yet been reached; and
he also has nieces at Salem and

Prune Market
Next Year
The best prospects in several
years face Oregon and northwest
prune growers on ineir crop ui
fall, as result of heavy buying
activities so far on the 1933 crop.
"Export business on northwest
prunes has been unusually good
the past two weeks, and right
now it looks as though there will
be the best cleanup in prunes in
three or four years, with prob
abilities that the entire crop will
be gone Just after the turn of
the year," Manager Walter T.
Jenks of the Willamette Talley
prune association,, one or. me two
big handlers here, said yesterday.
With. the cleanup on the last
erop in sight so early, this means
European markets will be mak
ing heavy demand for prunes at
harvest time next fall, presum
ably, as consumption starting so
early on the Uii crop should
put a low ebb to supplies on the
continent "by next fall. This in
turn should stiffen prices to
ia growers.

W. Frank Akin Shot Fatally
In his Portland Home;
Threats Recalled
One man Questioned but is
Not Implicated; Meier
Shocked at News
PORTLAND. Nov. 20. UP)
After a day's intense investiga
tion, city, county and state police
said tonight they had failed to
establish a motive for the slaying
here today of W. Frank Akin,
43, special agent appointed by
Governor Julius L- Meier to in
vestigate the management of the
Port of Portland.
The body of the Investigator
was found in the living room of
his apartment today with a bullet
wound In his head. The wound
was caused by a bullet from a
small calibre revolver.
The officers said no clue to the
identity of the slayer had been
found. They declared the wound
was such as to indicate it could
not have been self-inflicted.
Besides the bullet wound.
which Dr. Warren C. Hunter, Uni
versity of Oregon medical school
pathologist who performed an au
topsy, said brought instant death,
a small abrasion was found on the
Bide of the bead. This, the coron
er's office said, could have been
caused when Akin's head struck
the floor as he fell.
Mrs. I mo E. Akin, wife of the
investigator and a school teacher
here, left the apartment at 8:05
a. m., she told police.
The shooting occurred between
then and 9:30 a. m., the time the
body was discovered, the officers
said. Akin was fully dressed and
apparently about to go out when
he was attacked, they said.
Mrs. Akin told police her hus
band had been threatened during
his investigation of Port of Port
land management which resulted
in an-1880 - page report charging
James H. Polhemus, port manag
er; Kenneth D. Dawson, commis
sioner, and Frank 11. warren, re
tiring chairman, with practices
against the best interests of the
commission and the public.
J. Stewart Yoeman of Portland,
was questioned by police late to
day in connection with the case,
but the officers stated afterward
that he was not implicated and
was not held.

LI SLATED TODAY
With repeal of the much dis
cussed bus and truck law one of
the first matters to come up for
open argument at this special ses
sion of the legislature, an appeal
to all supporters for the change
to be on hand at the public hear
ings this afternoon and tonight
was Issued last night by A. C. An
derson, president of the state
Truck Onwers' and Farmers' Pro
tective association. The hearing
today will be held in the hall of
representatives.
"This law has caused a great
deal of excitement and discussion
all over the state and many people
are interested in seeing a more
Just law substituted for the jres
ent one," Anderson declared, add.
Ing:
"While we did not expect the
hearing to come so soon, we are
glad to see this movement start
ed, and have a substitute bill
which this association hopes will
be acceptable. Our bill will bring
sufficient revenue for the state's
roadwork, and at the same time
will work no hardship on opera
tors." -
Outlook for

growers, which Is unusual so
early after the harvest and dry
ing season. The grower release
has been due to the better prices
prevailing this year, and also, of
course, to need for cash.
The brisk demand for dried
prunes this fall and particular
ly the past two weeks has been
due in part to the cheap Ameri
can dollar which has hit new
lows in recent days. However,
the movement to Germany has
been due to the allotment. Ship
ments bow are going into that
country under the reduced tariff
of 10 marks per hundred kilos,
instead of the heavier duty of 10
marks per .100. kilos. Nearly .
OOOtons may.be shipped into that
country on the reduced schedule.
During October, 3300 tons of
prunes1 were shipped from Port
land by water, and Mr. Jenks ex
pects fully that tonnage or pos
sible more to go to European and
United Kingdom markets during
this month. Boats are now tak
