Friday by the chamber of com

in Washington in the interest, of
his project. Lipman's .wire is as
follows: :

This made the Salem f interests
apprehensive since this thy has

and now has two mills located

cussed the! sIiuationt.hfit. lacking
adequate Information, did nothing
except to authorize a telegram of
encouragement to Mr, Lipman,
stressing the Importance of build

ment of Salem in the Industry.
, Congressman James W. Mott
who was present stated he would
endeavor to ascertain from Wash

the proposed $1J5O,0 00 grant Is.
Yesterday's Washington dis

daatrv Irian -tttr thi rnn-
firmed , local suspicions that the

wag premature and not backed by
verified facts. -. -
Instead of confirming Initial re
ports that the United States Ka.
tional Linen, Industries, inc., or
Portland, had been allocated 33,
600,00.0, PWA announced off icl-
lly: it was considering the pro
ject hut had not yet acted on the
corporation's . application which
was presented by William P. Lip
man of Portland. It specif ically,
declared that Lipman's application
raised new points for which poli
cies had not been laid down. '
Security behind the linen loan,
the question of repayment of the
advance, the question of initial
capital to back to project as well
as legal details still must be sat
isfactorily determined, PWA offi
cials said, before the loan can be
made.

Delays that have characterized
this type of relief in Marion coun

will be closed every two weeks.
At the next closing 25 to 30 loans

Of the ISC loan applications
on file, 90 per cent arc likely to

The majority of the applications
are carefully investigated before
being sent in to the head office
at Portland.
In all of yesterday's deals the
mortgagees accepted bonds of
the federal corporation. Loans al
together amounted to 324,105.20
in bonds and 34848.49 In cash for
payment of taxes and improve

Two of the loans were made to
Silverton residents, one to a
Scotts Mills citizen and the oth

and the courts this week ended
the careers of some of the under
world's leading figures.
Verne Miller, notorious outlaw
and termed the "most hunted man
in America," was dead. .
James "Fur" Sammons, killer
and desperado, began a life sen
tence at the Michigan City, Ind.,
penitentiary after a lifetime spent
in evadin gand breaking the law.
Willie Sharkey, alleged "strong-
ana" man of the Teuny gang and
accused of sundry kldnaplngs and
bank robberies, was dead.
Waxey Gordon; New Jersey beer
baron, was awaiting transfer to
federal penitentiary to begin- a
10-year sentence.
Miller's death Wednesday add
ed another slaying to the long list
of cansland's supposed retriDu
ment ot the underworld s code.
His denuded body was found near
Detroit, Mich. His death came
within only a few weeks of that
of Gus Winkler, another hoodlum
leader. ,
Sammons. who throughout a
ong criminal life bad escaped fall

heard the prison gates siam De-
hind him, perhaps for tne last
time, because he got drunk in a
small Indiana community and
then "tried tff '1rTl)etway-

kidnaping of William Hamm, Jr.,
Minnesota brewer, but faced tri

John Factor.
Gordon's conviction in a New
York federal court was for in
come tax evasion. He was sen
tenced to 10 years in the North
eastern penitentiary at Lewlsburg,
Pa., after government revenue
agents had worked several years
assembling evidence against him.
The removal of these four
speeded the parade to the grave

who rose to affluence during the
prohibition era and whose down

in Chicago gangland, to Atlanta

J. E. Roman, manager of the
