in Mountain Streams;
Bag Limit Lower
. Fishermen, laden with tackle,
favorite flies and bait, will head
In Tarring directions early Sun
day morning in an attempt to
fill their creels with the bag limit
of trcut-20 fish ia one day this
year und possibly to look for i
few of the big oneahat got away.
Most of tie irout seekers will
head for the corst streams for
there, according to the angling
authorities, will be the beat fish
ing. Melting snows in the moun
tain streams make water cold and
fish sluggish, a condition un
fayo ruble- for a successful catch
While most of the coast streams
are expected to be fairly well pop
ulated with the finny tribe, most
of the fish are still in the tiny
streams way back in the moun
tains where they went to spawn
According to game authorities
these fish, weak after the spawn
ing pediod and hungry fter
scarce winter feed, will be easy
game for those who care to fish
for them. They will not have much
fight. howeTer. due to their weak
ened condition.
Valseta Pond Mecca
Many local fishermen will try
their first day s luck in Valsetz

day nizht at o'clock.
With a lowered bag limit and
less favorable conditions than In
many years ihere will probably
not be a record first day"s catch

Few Outsiders on
Jobs Here, Claim
Only Exceptions Are Due
to Lack of Qualified
Men, Says Dotson
"A very small percentage of
the men working on PWA pro
jects in Salem are from Portland
orother outside cities," D. D.
Dotson, manager of the state
employment agency here, declar
ed yesterday afternoon. All em
ployment on these projects Is
handled through his office.
Dotson's statement was in re
ply to criticism Chairman E. A.
Bradfield of the school board bad
heard regarding hiring of car
penters for the school building
projects.
"Without exception where we
have brought in workmen from
outside it has been because the
local supply of qualified, union
tradesmen has been exhausted,"
Dotson asserted. "All of these are
union Jobs and by federal law
we have to assign men who can
meet the union requirement.
Some non-union men have been
assigned and permitted by the
contractor to go to work after
they had joined the union."
Shortage Probable
The shortage of both union
carpenters and union bricklayers
may become acute soon, Dotson
indicated. He said he believed
every union brick mason avail
able was now employed.
G. L. Hannaman. superintend
ent for the Hoffman Construction
company, yesterday declared he
did not have a Portland work
man on the senior high school
project.

had been installed and neither
man was fauiliar with it. It took
several minutes before they were
able to put in a call for tbe pri

execution showed on the clock.
The line was busy several : tin

the connection and put through
the call that spared Hauptmann's
life for seventy-two hours.
Van Vlack Thinks
He'll Escape Rap
BOISE. Idaho. April 3. -Douglas
Van Vlack, who once ex
pected to die today; for the murder
of his pretty former wife, predict
ed in the death cell at state's pris
on tonight that he will never hang.
"I am confident my attorneys
will secure a commutation to life
imprisonment." said the prisoner,
whose execution fixed for April
3 after his conviction nearly two
months ago was stayed indefin
itely when defense counsel filed
notice of intention to appeal.
The 31 -year-old former Univer
sity of Washington student, in sol
itary confinement and on prison
fare, has gained weight.
His ex-wife. 22-year-old ..Mil
dred Hook, was shot after Van
Vlack kidnaped her from near her
home in Tacoma in November. He
allegedly killed two Idaho state
traffic officers in his mad flight,
but was tried on only the one
charge.

No Confession
By Hauptmann
Something Like Sneer on
Face As He Looks at
Witness Croup
( Con tinned from page 1)
make a last protestation of Inno
cence, v
As two guards led sJm Into the
chamber at 8:41, he was ashen
white. His shaven head accentuat
ed his almost ghastly appearance.
His white face matched his white
shirt.
Something Similar
To Saeer Obexrved
Once he looked at the witness
es. Something resembling a sneer,
came over his face.
He slnmped Into the chair.
Three guards fastened the straps
about his arms and body, and
the electrode on his left leg.
Robert Elliott, the official exe
cutioner, adjusted the capped
headpiece and the mask.
At 8:4S. Elliott spun the rheo
stat wheel that sent 2,000 volts
ot current through Hauptmann's
body. Hauptmann stiffened. His
arms became tease. The muscles
on his bare right leg bulged.
Slowly. Elliott reduced the
voltage to 300 volts.
At 8:44, a second shock of 2,
000 volts went through Haupt
mann's body. It did not stiffen
this time. No longer was there
a muscular reaction.
Arftfn th vaUiva waa ot ?i tcA
At 8:45. Elliott applied a third'
shock, held it a minute and then
cut off the current.
Inspection Made
By Six Physicians
Dr. Howard 'Weisler, the prison
physician, stepped forward, held
the stethoscope a m 1 n n t e to
Hauptmann's chest and stepped
back.
Dr. John Connelly, medical di
rector of the prison, moved silent
ly to the place vacated by Dr.
Weisler, and a half minute later
he, too, fell back.
A large man in brown overcoat
stepped forward. He was Dr.
Charles H. Mitchell. Mercer coun
ty physician who performed the
autopsy on the Lindbergh baby,
whose' body was found in a thicket
May 12, 1932. five miles from the
big white Lindbergh home atop
Sourland mountain.
Three other doctors also exam
ined the now dead Hauptmann,
not once but twice.
They gathered in a little circle,
hiding Hauptmann from view and
appeared to confer. For a frac
tion of a minute, it seemed to the
witnesses that they might decide
another shock necessary.
Then they stepped back, nod
ding to Dr. Weisler. -Warden
Declines to
Watch ProceedinKs
The prison physician turned to
Colonel Kirnberling. who had
stood with head bowd for six,
minutes. The warden attended the
electrocution, but did not see it.
He looked np for th first time.
"This man i3 dead," the doctor
said.
Col. Kirnberling gazed at a big
yellow clock a guard hsd held
aloftNall through the affair.
"It is 8:47 4." he said.
Even at he spoke, Hauptmann's
body was being carried away.
While the execution was on.
two men who believed Hauptmann
innocent and who Fpant the last
hours with him. read in Ccrman
the Lutheran ritual.
The clergymen, the Kev. John
Matthiesen of Trenton and the
Rev. D. G. Werner of New York,
preceded Hauptmann into the
chamber. They rfad together at
the start. Finally Mr. Werner
stopped and withdrew to one side.
Mr. Matthiesen kept on, stopping
only a short time before Dr. Weis
ler formally pronounced Haupt
mann dead.
The. execution was over Haupt
mann had paid with his life for a
crime which Governor Hoffman
said was still unsolved.
