The Papermakers brought their bftttlng artillery to rest on .Kirk Patrick, Hillsboro chucker, early In the contest and, with, the aid. of four Hillsboro boots, had no trou ble at all going places. Kirkpatrick gate up only six hits to the Papermakers but they were bunched inconrenlently . for Hillsboro and the Slem team en joyed three fairly large Innings. The Salem nine took four more hits off Kraus, who Teliered Klrk patrick in the serenth. First blood for the Papermak ers came in the initial inning when Sutton walked, took second and third on a passed ball and a wild pitch and scoredgpn an infield out. It was more or less a picnic from there on. Dunn Swats Homer; Crowfoot Hit Three Three hits in the second plus a walk gare the Salem team two more runs and John Dunn's home three more In the fourth. There were two more In the fifth on hit and an error but In the ser enth. due to a double play that HUlsboro's third to second com bination of Schulte to Monson worked, it took them four blows to get In the final run. Crowfoot, , besides hanging up his portrait Jin the Softball Val halla, showed himself a truly ex ceptional pitcher by leading his team In hitting.

Pruitt responded that civilian finger-printing: for general identi fication purposes was spreading throughout the country and files of criminal and non-criminal or civilian prints were kept separate by the federal bureau of investi gation. Dr. L. E. Barrick, board mem ber, said he was once opposed to general finger-printing but indi cated that his experience as county coroner in the last fire years had convinced him that finger-printing as a m e a n s of Identification "is the only thing." Directors .W. F. Neptune, E. A. Bradfield and Mrs. David Wright received the plan favor ably. Pruitt suggested that the school children be finger-printed at the time they are given physical examinations. Demurrer Denied In Recall Action Circuit Judge R. Frank Peters of Hillsboro yesterday overruled the demurrer Interposed by Dis trict Attorney Lyle J. Page last week to the Siegmund recall sponsors' mandamus action against County Clerk u. G. Boyer and gave Boyer fire days within which to tile answer to the com plaint. Page Indicated the answer would be filed immedi ately. The nature of subsequent ac tion by the recall promoters was withheld by Roy R. Hewitt, at torney. Their action is aimed at forcing the clerk to call a recall election. Judge Peters ruling was not unexpected after a change in the mandamus complaint by Inter lineation was allowed last Fri day. At that time the complaint was altered to make the conten tion regarding 910 disputed pe tition signatures to read that the names were those of registered roters, in contrast with .the al legation in, the original complaint that rtber were, merely names of qualified or legal voters. The de murrer was based on. the original action. , . . .' .. ..

Salem, Hon - er Is Bombarded Oil Plant Beyond Ig in Peril but Employes Refuse to Leave (Continued from page 1) Lincoln, sailing August XS, is scheduled to take 250 more and others are listed to sail on three American liners which will leave before August 31. j Part of the refugees course was through some of the most se vere fighting so far. Japanese sea and land - planes conld be seen pouring, into the air from land bases- and from two Japanese air plane carriers anchored near the mouth of the Yangtze. . . Their fire merged with heavy artillery- shells and the bombard ments of Japanese naval guns as thousands of Japanese reinforce ments came ashore, led by the Shirodasuklta! "white band of death" rin an improvised arm ored launch." As the suicide band touched the water, a terrific burst of tir ing biased. An almost solid wall of Chinese machine gun and ar tillery fire was loosed point-blank at the landing party. Japanese warships opened broadsides in answer and Japanese warplanes, hovering overhead, suddenly swooped within 500 feet to blast the Chinese lines with machine guns and bombs. The "white band of death," so-called because its only color is the white of a sash worn around each member's back and shoul ders, enters combat prepared to die. Only a handful managed to reach shore against the Chinese withering machine gun and hand grenade fire, but they opened the way. Beniice Rickman Recital Pleasing Salem Girl Shows Result of Study in. East in Appearance Here By MAXINK BUREN From the moment Bernice Rick man sang the first note of Han del's beautiful "Oh Sleep Why Dost Thou Leave Me" to the final encore "The Kiss" by Ilbatio. the audience last night thrilled with the exquisiteness of her voice. Her second number "On Mighty Pens," from the Creation by Hay dn and all her following numbers showed taste in selection of num bers suited to her voice and dis played her ability to sing them well. "Qui la voce sua soars" act 1 from "I Puritan!" by Bellini was one of her most difficult, yet per fectly sung numbers, and the trueness of ton was given its most severe test. ; Of the German group, her aud ience liked "Zueignung" by Strauss best, but applauded "Mar ietta's Lied" from "De Tola Stadf by Korngold, with enthusiasm. "Boujour Suson" won special ap plause among the French numbers with its lively melody. The final group, of American numbers sung In English, pleased her listeners, "Homing" by del Rigo as always, winning the aud ienee. "My Alice Blue Gown" and "The Kiss" were sung as encores. Note Improvement Those who heard Bernice Rick man before she studied in Chicago say she has gained a great deal In emotional quality as well s rich ness, depth and power in voice. She has enrichened the qualities of her low notes, balancing with the sweet quality of high notes which she has always had. During her study in Chicago she has retained a simplicity of manner, yet has added poise, ma turity and dramatic feeling. Miss Clara Enness deserves sne clal thanks from the audience, for her capable work through the dif ficult and. important accompani ments. She contributed greatly to the evening's success.
