riety, from such hobbies as photo
graphy and metal crafts, to public

evenings at the University of Ore
gon during the coming term, it
was anonunced today by Miss
Mozelle Hair, of the General Ex.
tension Division. Classes will start
January 3.
New courses, which are expect
ed to be of wide interest to a
large number of people, include
choral reading, under the dircc
tion of Elizabeth May Jenks; metal
crafts and spinning, to be taught
by Professor George B. Cox, of
Oregon State college; elementary
conversational Spanish, by Dr.
Leavitt O. Wright, professor of
Romance Languages, and photo

The Spanish course, which will
have for its aim the understanding
of conversation in this language, is
expected to be of special interest,

The "most honest motorist" has
been found by state trooper Steph
en Wersoski.
"How fast do you think you were
going?" Wersoski asked as he pull
ed alongside a speeding car.
, "Seventy-one miles an hour, of
ficer," replied the motorist. "I was
trying to see if this car would make
80."
He'll lose his license for a few
days.

Drug Swindle Probe
Takes Sinister Turn
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1)
probably used great sums to hush
blackmailers.
Inspector McDermott's tentative
theory, calling for a reopening of
the slaying of the two Brooklyn
men, followed the same line.
Both the Cohen brothers had
known Coster-Musica in the lean
days before he became a corpora
tion president with a Palatial Ital
ian villa in Fairfield and a 123-foot
yacht.
Joseph Cohen spent a year in the
death house at Sing Sing as the
slayer of Barnett Bagg, poultry
merchant in 1914, after Coster
Musica, then working as an in
vestigator for the district attorney,
had been instrumental in getting
an affidavit from two gangsters
confined in Sing Sing implicating
Cohen in the case. There was some
doubt, however, as to whether the
truth had been told and Cohen's
sentence was commuted to life
mprisonment. Later , he was re
leased.
As a result of the affidavit Cos
ter-Musica was indicted on a
charge of subordination of perjury
but was never brought to trial.
The indictment, McDermott said,
was dismissed in 1929, three years
after Coster-Musica had become
McKesson and Bobbins president
and had hidden his criminal past.
There was the possibility, the in
spector said, that the Cohen broth
ers, remembering Coster-Musica's
part in the case, had stumbled
across the fact that the dignified
white-haired financier who had
slipped unobtrusively into "Who's
Who In America" was none other
than their old acquaintance, Philip
Musica, son of an immigrant Neo-
politan barber.
. Other Angles to Case
McMahon said today there "defi
nitely are other angles to this case
besides those involving commercial
fraud."
Another crony of Coster-Musica's
who knew him when he was a
world-war spy-hunter was held at
the federal building today on a
charge of conspiracy to violate fed
eral laws.
The arrest of Benjamin Simon,
49-year-old Bronx salesman with a
police record, gave credence to a
previously reported story of an
old friend who met Musica one day
when he was still "F. Donald Cos
ter."
"Well, what are you going to do
for me?" the man asked when
Musica told how high he had risen
since the days of the infamous
human hair swindle of 1913 and the
dubious dealings in alcohol during
prohibition.
"Why didn't you know? ' Coster
replied. "This very minute you be
came " and he named a post in
McKesson and Robbins.
Simon has' been on the corpor
ation's payroll at $6,000 a year and
expenses for five years. Asst. U. S.
Atty. McMahon said last night:
"I assume he was drawing $6,000
a year for what he knew instead of
what he did."
Simon himself said vaguely, he

"did various jobs." What he knew,
among other things, McMahon said,
was that three men connected with
McKesson and Robbins all hid
ing behind aliases were brothers
of the shrewd, Italian-born master
manipulator.
Before his arrest, Simon was
questioned by investigators and
yesterday his name was mentioned
by Frederick Wingersky, Boston
lawyer, and a vice-president of
McKesson and Robbins, in connec
tion with an uncompleted arms
sale.
Wingersky told a state attorney
general's inquiry he drafted an
arms and ammunition contract for
Coster and was told. 'to give the
Daoers to "Ben Simon," but the
deal never was consummated.
Other witnesses confirmed re
ports of armament negotiations
one, Thomas Amadeo Bruni, say
ing an order of rifles was intended
for Chinese Generalissimo Chiang-Kai-Shek,
though never delivered
but James J. Caffrey, regional
SEC administrator, scoffed at them.
It's a lot of Ballyhoo over noth
ing," he said.
Furtherance of the investigation
disclosed, McMahon said, that the
Musicas' ill-gotten gains are most
ly gone." It was supposed that the
1929 crash stripped Coster and it
was estimated that, in the first
place, he and his brothers took
little more than $3,000,000 from the
pirated firm in 10 years.
Say Business Sound
Officers and directors of the firm
hastened to tell the state attorney
general yesterday the firm's exist
ing assets seem intact and its busi
ness sound.
The $18,000,000 in fictitious as
sets uncovered in the crude drugs
department controlled by Coster do
not and never did exist, Caffrey
said his investigation indicated at
this stage.
The possibility Coster himself
might prove that statement true in
posthumous confession was indi
cated when Samuel Reich, Bridge
port (Conn.) attorney and U. S.
commissioner, disclosed that the
unmasked magnate left a suicide
note.
Federal officials indicated also
the surviving Musica brothers
Arthur (George Verard), George
(Dietrich) and Robert (Dietrich)
were "talking" at last, while fur
ther questioning of Benjamin
Simon was scheduled. He was ar
rested last night at his Bronx
apartment, where he lived with his
wife and two children.
ernor-elect Sprague and any ef
fort Holman chose to make to
secure a definite commitment
from the republican governor-
elect would have the threat of
his permitting' a democrat to
succeed him giving point to his
argument. But Sprague so far
has consistently refused to make
commitments on any appoint
ment. '
Another sticker in the prob
lem is the fact that Holman has
mentioned that he is sacrificing
hopes for advantageous commit
tee appointments by staying in
Oregon and republican leaders
realize', that if Holman should
decide his wishes were not to be
followed, he might quit now and
allow a democrat on the state
board of control.
In order to riddle this par
ticular phase of Holman's position,
state republicans have called in
Senator McNary,. now in Wash
ington, and asked him to ar
range Holman's appointments for
him. Senator McNary, as minority
leader in the senate, could re
serve any appointments Holman
might wish, as McNary appoints
the republican committee on com
mittees. Thus, Holman could
stay in Oregon so that a re-
publican could be assured the
post and still sacrifice nothing in
the way of choice committee jobs
in Washington.
Siuslaw Officials
Look To Future
In New Projects
Siuslaw officials are looking to
the future for new projects, ac
cording to a report given out from
that office Wednesday.
In the north end of the Siuslaw
forest district," at Mount Hebo, 25
CCC workers. are now employed in
pruning-the lower branches of &
crop of trees, planted for future
use. The trees are being pruned
so that at harvesting, 50 or 60
years from now, the lumber will
be clear of knots.
For use nearer in the future are
several additional shelters being
built at Lake Cleawox organization
to accommodate 50 more persons
next summer, bringing the total
accommodation quarters to 120
people.
