Cit kens of the San Francisco penin sula were worrying about finding time to mow their fast growing lawns and the girls down at Palm Springs and other Southern Cal ifornia play, places were posing in shorts for photographers. Califor nia temperatures at noon ranged from 56 to 62 at the various places reporting. It was 55 at Seattle, which reported "sunshine, swimming, grass cutting, flowers budding and growing and all sorts of out door activity. Total excess of temperature bo far this year about 350 degrees." Spokane reported spring wea ther had arrived there about six weeks ahead of schedule, with new onions on the market two months earlier than ever before. Flowers bloomed unafraid of the big bad frost. Even at Ashton, Idaho, scene of the American dog derby to be held next Thursday, drivers were looking forward to putting wheels on their sleds because of the prospective lack of snow. TROOP1 9 HIS MIIES HEBE Boy Scouts of troop No. 9 paid their annual visit to their sponsor, .Capital post No. 9, American Le gion, at Fraternal temple Monday night. Little business was trans acted and most of the meeting devoted to the entertainment pro gram.

CUT KILLING DESIRE An unquenchable desire to kill cats no matter their age, ap pearance or whereabouts has obsessed Irvin Robinson, the lat ter confessed to Sheriff A. C. Burk when he gave himself up to the sheriff last week end. Robin son, who said he had escaped from the New York state hospital at Binghampton, told Sheriff Burk he "woke up in Texas." Robinson told the sheriff he didn't dislike cats but when he saw one, the killing instinct in him came out and he did them to death. Blood on his clothes testi fied to the truth of his statement. Sheriff Burk communicated with William C. Gavin, superin tendent of the New York institu tion. Gavin said he was not cer tain if the Robinson Burk held was the one who had escaped and indicated New York state was not interested in his return. Meanwhile Robinson has be come moody In his cell here and had made preparations, fellow prisoners said, to hang himself. Yesterday County Judge Sleg mund issued an order committing him to the state hospital here. Robinson, 47 years old, claimed he had been a jockey. SPEEDIER LOCALLY New schedules for airmail serv ice out of Portland were an nounced yesterday at the Salem postofflce. With the shifting of southern plane routes around by Salt Lake City all advantage to Salem patrons sending mail to any destinatioiu north of Los Angeles waj lost. Points north of Los Angeles receive mail sent by train several minutes earlier than possible by air. The last sure connection with the mail leaving Portland at 10:40 p. m., reaching Los Angeles at 11 a. m., is the .train leaving Salem at 3 p. m. However, if the 7:20 p. m. out of Salem Is on time to the minute, as it custom arily is, it also connects with the air service. Mail leaving Salem at 9 p. m. goes out of Portland by plane at 4:45 a. m, reaching Los Angeles at 12 midnight. Both planes touch the Salt Lake City terminal and consequently carry both eastern and southern mail. On their return frights they touch Portland and turn north to Seattle, offering sometimes a slight saving in time for mail go ing north from here. BALLY IB MIf (Continued front pr 1) Dr. Dawber urged the restora tion of a vital religion, such that makes the church member con cerned if other people fall to have it. Missions begin at home, he avowed, saying this endeavor should no longer be looked upon as through a telescope with the romantic flavor that, characteriz ed earlier responses to help the unchristened in faraway Unds. He told how aids to the home missions has brought about in the Smoky mountain regions in Ken tucky an actual application of God.

Whenever there la a crowd the congestion is acute; and in case of a fire the panic might result in loss of life. The new entry, wide, with swinging doors and' no steps would reduce congestion at the doors. The large check rooms would do away with long .waits for coats and hats af ter formal affairs, such as the governor's ball, which are held In the armory. W. M. Hamilton, who is a mem ber of the chamber of commerce board, has taken the lead in see ing if something cannot be done to improve the armory entrance, making it safer and more conven ient. Hamilton points out that Liberty street is wider for hand ling cars, and that the new entry would enable people to enter without so many having to stand in the street in the rains. With such an entrance, and with the other improvements which have been made in the armory this might serve Salem's need for an auditorium for some years to come. In fact the entrance might be termed the Salem auditorium instead of "armory." The armory was built with state, county and city money. It is controlled by a board composed of the officers of the units using the armory. TO BE DAVIS TRUSTEE The Turner Christian church was named yesterday as trustess of the residuary estate of the late Cornelia A. Davis of Turner who gave the bulk of her property to "establish and maintain" a home for the needy in that city. E. J. Gilstrap has been named superin tendent of the home by the church board which will administer the property. The church was selected by Judge L. O. Lewelling, the ad ministrator of the estate carrying the lower court's decision to the state supreme court which upheld the appointment. The appoint ment yesterday followed receipt of the higher court's mandate by the court here. The church board administer ing the trust Is to meet at once to consider what steps to take in carrying out Mrs. Davis' will. It ia anticipated that one of the first steps wil lbe to ask for an ac counting of the Mtttn -nil tit board are Dr. H. C. Epley, chair man, ' rrea e. Bates, secretary, and Mrs. Frances Delzell.

PLEA FOUli Mora than 100 members of he International Labor Defense league gathered in and near the state suDreme court cnamper Tuesday afternoon when the court heard arguments of attorneys in the rehearing Involving Theodore Jordan, negro, Who is under death entence for the slaying of a Southern Pacific Pullman conduc tor at Klamath Falls more than a year ago. The visitors previously held a iiemonstration in Marion park and subsequently marched to the statehouse where they presented a resolution to Beatrice Walton, nrivate secretary to Governor Meier, demanding the Immediate and unconditional release of tne prisoner. The resolution was sign ed by Frank Lockhart, secretary of the league. The marchers car ried banners worded ''Jordan not hang." Attorneys for the state and de fense dealt principally with the contention of Jordan's counsel that the confession introduced in the lower court was not obtained voluntarily and that the Jury should have retired while the ad missibility of the document was being discussed. T. R. Gillenwat ers, district attorney of Klamath county, argued that Jordan was advised of his rights before the confession was dictated and sign ed by him. There was no disorder during the hearing. The banners were parked outside the court chamber. WENT SOUGHT (Continued from page 1) was heard.

Portland youth, to tell Officer Don Nicholson and Judge Miller Hayden the same story yester day will cost him SO days in the county Jail. McVae and James Coin, 20, also of Portland, were returned here from Portland on larceny charges growing out of theft of three bicycles from Gar field and Grant schools. The boys took two bicycles to Port land, where they sold them. Charges were reduced to petty larceny on agreement with the district attorney and the city po lice. When haled before Hayden, Coin admitted he had been in jail in Texas and California on vagrancy charges, and so was given 30 days in the county Jail here. McVae declared he had been in no previous trouble, and be cause of his youth and fact that he came from a broken home, Hayden at first indicated he would give him 60 days and then parole him upon condition he re turn to his home. But when Officer Nicholson told Hayden later that McVae told him he had been In the training school at Woodburn, and McVae failed to make a satis factory explanation of his con flicting stories, the Judge hand ed him 30 days. The boys took two bicycles, belonging to Tom Roland and Bobby Sederston, from Garfield school. One of the bicycles was exchanged at Grant school for one in better condition and be longing to W. D. Gardner. One of the bicycles was recovered in Portland but no trace has been found of the other, Nicholson stated. PAUL FOLQUET LOSES The state supreme court yester day ruled that Paul Folquet, as executor of hte estate of his fath er, was not entitled to continue a contract made with the latter by the Woodbnrn school board. The decision, written by Justice Rand, was concurred in by four other Judges. Justices Rossman and Kelly dissented. Justice Rand contended the contract was not assignable since It Involved "personal liability on a relation of special trust or con fidence." Ordinarily the court said, contracts are assignable. The contract ran for five years when made, Folquet receiving $125 a month during the school year for hauling young people to the Woodburn high school. It had run slightly more than a year when the senior Folquet died. The case has been in the courts for an extended period; When first argued before the higher court, that body failed to agree and called for a reargument. Hold Up License for Brooknook The county court yesterday an nounced it would hold up indefin itely giving any recommendation to the- state liquor control com mission toward granting a beer license to John A. Moore, proprie tor of Brooknook, which state po lice raided early Sunday.

Mgr. 1' SO OLD IE RELIEF ffllK OKEH Court Specifies Basis For ' Dividing Pension Fund When List Completed Fifty applications tor old-age pensions have been approved by the county pension board which la the county court in the pro cess of determining how many persons will be eligible this year to receive direct pension aid from the county. The. first requests ap proved were by persons whom one or more members of the court -knew from experience to be worthy citizens. No allocation of pensions will be made until the entire appli cation list of 460 is gone over and the worthiness of each ap plicant determined. Investigators under the direction of Miss Thora V. Boesen are busy this week making detailed checkups on each applicant's status. When the court has tentative ly, approved the applications it expects to grant, the applicants will be divided into ten groups,, as follows: Single man with no home or relatives giving partial support. Single man, no home but with relatives giving partial support. Single man, owning home and having no relatives giving partial support Man and wife, one entitled to pension, owning no home and having no relatives' giving par tial support. Man and wife, one entitled to pension, owning home but having no relatives for partial support. Man and wife, one entitled to pension, having no home, but with relatives giving partial sup port. Man and wife, both entitled to pension, owning no home, with no relatives for partial support. Man and wife, both entitled to pension, owning home, with no relatives for partial support Man and wife, both entitled to pension, owning no home, with no relatives for partial support. Man entitled to pension, hav ing minor children. Then the court will make a tentative allotment to each group, seeing how great a portion of its 160,000 pension fund will be used. A portion of this fund will be kept as a reserve for addi tions to the pension list in 1934.
