Prohibition Amendment

ary In character, according to Attorney
General Thomas F. McCran of New
Jersey in opening his argument before
the United States supreme court in
New Jersey's suit to have the amend
ment declared void and the Volstead
act unconstitutional.
Eight points were raised and dis
cussed In the argument.
Attorney General McCran's brief de
clared that the eighteenth amendment
was not constitutionally proposed;
that congress did not by two-thirds in
numbers of both houses affirmatively
vote for the proposal of the resolution;
that three-fourths of the states have
not ratified in the constitutional sense.
The brief also declared that the nas
tional prohibition act is not appropri

in congress to legislate outside the
words of the amendment; 'that the
words ''beverage purposes" sufficiently

Improvements costing approximate
ly $15,000 are being made at the local
plant of the Oregon Packing company,
285 South 12th street, creating, in
some departments double capacity of
the plant. Two new Hawkins exhaust
boxes in the cooking department have
already been installed, increasing the
capacity of that part of the plant 50
per cent over last year. The company
plans, according to E. C. Quinn, resi
dent manager, to have all improve
ments completed by June 1, when ac
tive canning of gooseberries Will begin.
After the gooseberry canning is fin
ished the company plans to handle
strawberries on a large scale.
Warehouse Enlurged
Perhaps the greatest Improvement at
the plant, construction of which will
begin "next week, is a new warehouse,
fronting on 12th street 105 feet, and
along the Southern Pacific switch
track, on the north, 90 feet. This stor
age room will cost approximately
$4,000, company officials said today.
When the new warehouse is com
pleted the Oregon Packing ompany
plant will cover a frontage on 12th
street of more than 325 feet, making
one of the largest plants in that section
of the city. Clearing of the ground
preparatory to erecting the warehouse
has already been completed, ana ma
terials are now being placed on the
premises.
l'lans Double Output
An addition to the sealing depart
ment, doubling the capacity there, has
also been made at the plant, Mr. yulnn
said.
The local plant proposes to handle
almost double the amount of fruits this
season, and upon the beginning of
work again June 1 a record run for the
Salem branch of the company is looked
for.

Mullinix Bound
Over to Grand
Jury; Bond Big
Waiving a hearing in justice court,
Jesse Mullinix, age 40, arrested Thurs
day night on a charge of assault wltn
intent to kill following the shooting of
W. T. Steiger, a wealthy farmer, on his
farm a miie north of this city, was
bound over to the grand Jury this
morning. In default of $10,000 bond
he was returned to a cell in the county
jail.
Mullinix was arrested by deputies
from the sheriff's office In a room In
a local rooming house three hours after
the shooting occurred, following the
statement by Steiger that Mullinix was
the man who shot him. Steiger and his
assailant grappled In the barnyard af
ter the first shot had been fired, when,
Steiger claims, he recognized Mullinix.
Sheriff Needham, Prosecuting Attor
ney Gehlhar, and Deputy Sheriffs
Bower and Smith, Sifnday mornlnp.
succeeded In finding a blue eUith. In
the 800 block in Ckurch street, neur
Mill creek. This findTcoupled with th?
find of i full cartridges, Identical to
those from which the bullets came that
entered Steiger, scattered broadcast
near the blue cloth, are held as valu

search In Mullinix's home revealed
torn blue apron, identical to the piece

,iii,h the niece had been torn.
This evidence was shown to nniiumx
n the county jail, but he refused to
make any comment on them.
The finding of these clues near Mill
creek on Church street lead authorities
to believe that the assailant threw the
revolver Into Mill creek. Sheriff Need
ham said today that he planned to
drain the cfeek at this point in an ef
fort to find the revolver. Search in
the creek Sunday morning with rakes
and magnetic devices failed to give up

Red Cross Tells
Crying Need For
Better Hospital
Had there' been proper hospital fa
duties in Salem at the time of the re
cent influenxa epldeiple Inroads In hu
man lives would have been greatly
lessened, according to a statement in
sued today from the offices of the Sa
lem chapter of the Red Cross, In which
the efforts of the Salem General Hos
pital campaign are lauded.
Later developments today begWi
nlng the fourth week of the campaign
brought out the possible resignation
in the fall of Miss Lillian McNary, su-
perintendent of the present Snlem hos
pital, It Is said that Miss McNary will
leave her post then when private mat
ters will require her entire attention,
The statement from the Red Cro.i
setting forth the need of a better hos
pital here reads:
"The need for more satisfactory
hospital facilities has never before
been so impressed upon our minds as
during the recent Influenza epidemic
The supply of nurses, trained and praj
tlcal. Is quite adequate for normal con
dltlons. but was all too small for the
needs of the past two and one-half
months.
The first call for nurses to care f.ir
the Influenza was made January 16. In
a few days, all available nurses wer
employed. In many cases the time of
the trained woman was given to one
l;atiently only, in a, private, home
whereas, thli same nurse could have
cared for a number of patients with
almost equal ease In a well equipped
hospital.
"In addition to this, the spread of
the disease was greately accelerated
by this home caring method. It is true
that entire families In some casc
have contracted the disease from the
same source or contagion, uui in i
lame number of cases, the develop
ment was slower and might have been
prevented had there been available fa
cilities, segregating the cases at once.
"Caring for patlenU In the home
also threw a heavy burden upon those
having a milder form of the disease, a.
a time when they should have been
i themselves protected. Those who were
made homeless by destruction of
dwellings throughout the six
states and outside relief was
necessary for a number of
places.
