His "Last Ride" This Afternoon HAYWARD THOMPSON STETC1 STRIKE IT SPOKANE ENDED Nothing Much is Settled by Stormy Tussle; Most of Men to Regain Jobs SPOKANE. Wash.. Sept. 21.- ()-Spokane's streetcar and bus operators strike was ended to day with most of the demands of the strikers not mentioned in the agreement that terminated the three weeks' old walkout. All strikers, under the terms of the agreement, will report back to work tomorrow except eight men who were arrested on charg es of dynamiting property of the Spokane United Railway compa ny The status of eight men dis charged by the company, assert- edly for union activities, one of the major controversial points, was not changed in the agree ment. The questions of a 10 per cent increase in wages, time and a half for overtime, 18 minutes a day allowed by the, company for operators to make out reports. and recognition by the company of the "check-off system" were not covered in the agreement. In rehiring the 85 strikers, the company reserved the right to dis charge any or all of them for cause as it saw fit, and to dis miss any operator because of the necessity of reducing its force. The men will go back to work (Turn to page 2, col. ) Double Yolks in Eleven Eggs Out Of Dozen Broken Egg-Breaking was a constant surprise yesterday for Mrs. E.

Model Modernized Home To be Campaign Feature Salem is to have a model mod ernized bome. Work of moving a small old house-downtown where it will be modernized, in conjunction with the present campaign in support of the national housing act, will be started today by committee chairmen, directing the program tn Salem and Marion county. The plan for modernizing the home, through a co-operative program which will Include all branches of the building and trades Industry, was evolved at a meeting of the Salem executive committee yes terday.

A favorable decision was strongly indicated, provided the employers, too, agree to the find ings and recommendations of the board. Mill owners studied the weighty points involved but made no immediate expression of their attitude. George A. Sloan, president of the Cotton Textile institute, Is sued a statement saying the In dustry would "give most sincere consideration to any program proposed by President Roosevelt. He recommended closed mills be reopened as soon aa possible. In individual instances, but like Sloan, saying neither yes nor no to the board's plan, mill own ers announced an intention of op ening their plants on Monday. They counted upon an appeal, is sued today by President Roose velt, to bring the workers back to their machines. NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-UP)-Mrs, Anna Hauptmann persistently re fused to believe tonight that her husband was quilty of any connec tion with the Lindbergh kidnap ing. "I still believe In him," she was quoted by the Daily News. "I don't believe he could have had any thing to do with such a terrible thing." She recalled she was working as a waitress in a bakery two years ago last march when one of her customers told her the news about the disappearance of the Lind bergh baby. "It made me sick," she said. I have a baby of my own. I prayed it would be brought back to them." Asked where her husband was the night of the kidnaping, she replied: "I suppose he was at work. It's so long ago now that I wouldn't remember.' She admitted she was curious as to where her husband got his money. "I asked him about it and he told me he was making money tn the stock market." Organization plans for the cam paign, which have been in the pro cess ot formation for the last sev eral days, are to be completed Monday night, when members of the executive committee meet with chairmen and members of the 10 sub-committees named yesterday. The conference Is scheduled for the Chamber of Commerce at 8 p. m. Work of directing the campaign ' Is to be divided into ten groups with each angle of the work- su pervised by one group. The Tar ions committees will Include fi nance, education, loans, labor, general Industry, women's con sultation, building industry, plan ning and speakers. Chairmen have been selected to- head the tea groups and they will be busy to day naming their committee per sonnel.

IIPTMAI ISN'T CONVINCED ARMS HO UttT FUTILE Labeling Guns as "Sewing Machines" Cannot Be J Checked, Stated Investigators Adjourn Until November; Dark Picture Seen in Testimony By SAM BLEDSOE WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-UP)- The government's "inability" to enforce the president's embargo on arms shipments to Bolivia and Paraguay was described to the senate munitions committee today by Stephen W. Hamilton, deputy collector of customs at New York. "In other words," Senator Clark (D-Mo) commented, "the embargo is just as effective as the munitions makers want it to be." "I guess that's about right, sir," the gray-haired Hamilton replied. "There Is no penalty whatever for labeling machine guns, for ex ample, sewing machines?" Chair man Nye (R-Md) inquired. "No, sir." "And you take the shipper's word for his cargo?" "We have to," Hamilton re plied. "We haven't the facilities to check up on his statement." Nye told reporters today, after the committee adjourned its ses sions until late November or early December, that additional legisla tion to make arms embargoes ef fective would be recomm mended soon after congress met. Ernest H. Tupper, chief of the division of foreign trade statis tics of the department of com merce, earlier said other changes in statutes were needed to make the government's export figures "accurate." "I am quite dissatisfied with the present situation," he testi fied. "We do not get the informa tion accurately and in many in stances we may not get accurate data." Tupper read into the record fig ures which fchowed a sharp in crease in exports of cotton llnters, bar lead, sodium nitrate and oth er materials which could be used for munitions manufacture to Japan, Germany, Colombia, Boliv ia and China in the years from 1929 through 1933. "All In all." Senator Nye re marked, "it would seem that the depression affected everyone en gaged in foreign trade except mu nitions makers." Tupper said his figures showed that up to August about 170 air plane engines had been shipped to Germany. "Testimony here has been that one American firm alone shipped about 160 in that period," Nye re marked. "Apparently the figures do not show all shipments." Summing up the work of his committee during the three weeks of open hearings, Nye said It felt "it has thus far only scratched the surface."

Over 500 Employes of Mill at Silverton Sign for Full Enforcement SILVERTON, Sept. 21 The names of over 500 mill em ployes of the Silver Falls Timber company mill went on petition in defense of the national lumber code here today. The petition pro tests the "selfish Interests who are seeking to overthrow mini mum prices and other desirable features ot the lumber code" and petitions "every effort to main tain and rigidly enforce all pro visions of the code, and thus avoid low wages, long hours and widespread unemployment which the lumber code of fair competi tion has corrected." The petition explains it is the result of "recent and current newspapers' report efforts being made by certain interests to se cure cancellation of minimum prices of lumber." The petition is spot sored by the local chapter of th 4L or ganization which reports it as conferred with the management of Silver rails Timber company and is convinced that abolishment of minimum prices of lumber would immediately result in the return to former uncontrolled, vicious competition between lum ber producers, which would make it Impossible for many lnmber (Turn to page 2, col. 4) Final List of PETITION DEFENDS H LUMBER CODE For Stale Off ice Made Up Six candidates for governor and four for the office of representa tive In congress from the first district, will figure In the general election in November, It was dis closed when the final deadline for filing of candidacies was reached Friday afternoon at S o'clock.

Lindbergh, Jr., was . taken to his . death. 'Very definite progress" in another !ght hours ot question ing of Hauptmann was announced by District Attorney Samuel J. Foley of the Bronx. Foley said he had no deabt that Hauptmann had received -the entire 250,000 ransome paid in a fruitless effort to recover the ab ducted son of the noted aviator. The prosecutor, however, made it clear that steps to determine . whether Hauptmann must face murder charge will be left to New Jersey where both investigating and prosecuting agencies are working at top speed near the main scene of the notorious crime of 1932. I in the far-reaching investigat ing front the principal deveiop- ments were: 1. A statement by Col. H. Not " man Schwarzkopf, head of the New Jersey police, that Haupt mann once was an employe in the same Bronx lumber yard which was the source of the timber in the kidnaping ladder. Schwarz kopf acknowledged this was one of the polices' best points. 2.
