At the door of the car he appar ently balked and it was then, the witnesses said, that Winslow used his "sap." A crowd, running from the stands and bleachers, gathered quickly and soon reached mob like proportions. With cries of "Let him alone" and "He's not hurting anybody" the crowd hoot ed Winslow, who maintained his hold on the struggling Hayes un til the crowd pressed between them. Hayes then m a d e his way through the crowd, which folded around Winslow, skirted the edge I of it and. going behind the bleach- era, went out the gate He appeared at the Salem Gen eral hospital at 10:45 where he was treated for general head In juries. An X-ray was taken to see whether he had suffered any frac ture. The crowd, after Hayes made his escape, followed Winslow around as he sought for the es caped man, booing him lustily. Soon three police cars, sirens screaming, arrived on the scene and the crowd became less antag onlstic but still in a mood to do something about it. On arrival at the police station the crowd had dwindled to about SO, many of whom were small boys, but there were enough adults on hand to make a sizeable list when Hald called for names of witnesses. Winslow said he had been or dered by one of the softball offi cials to remove Hayes from the "MO. Hayes, against whom a drunk charge was placed last night after he was found at the hospital, has twice been convicted on drunkenness charges this year, The civil service code of the city charter states that . . .

The mayor said he wanted to know If Ross would give Portland "break" on rates, and if it is cheaper - to deliver power here would Portland receive a lower rate than Seattle. In Washington, D. C, those protesting Ross possible appoint ment circulated his annual report to the mayor and council of Seat tle of October S, 1934, in which he was quoted as saying "we must guard our power rates against all opposition" and held that "there is no possible need for a federal nower system west of the Cas cades." The report to the council as- sertedly stated that "$90,000,000 spent on the Columbia river means $90,000,000 spent against western Washington" and that all western Washington would get would be "the loss of its entire hinterland to Portland and the lower Columbia river cities."
