apanese Not Trying To
Compete With American
Navy, Admiral KatoSays
Tokio, Mar. 2b. Assertions
that the Japanese naval program
being followed for the pur
pose of competing with the Unit-
States navy, were denounced
"preposterous and absurd" by
rice Admiral Tomodaburo Kato,
Japanese minister of marine, in
in interview with the .Associated
tea here today. He declared
lapan was not trying to compete
rith the American navy and that
the Japanese naval program had
leen formulated so that the in
land empire could be defended
jtgainst any emergencies arising
In tlie Kar hiast alone.

Scientists Find Head-Hunting
Indians In Ecuador Regions
Headhunting Indians with a devil for a god, spectacled bears and
searchers for buried Inca treasure were met with by the most recent
scientific expedition to Eduador. Harold E. Anthony and George K.
Cherrle, under the ausplcies of the American Huseum of Natural His
tory, led the expedition which recently returned from South America.
The natives studied most carefully were the Jibaros. Everything not
I .nuaro is unriBuanos to uie natives, l liey look down on white men
j because the white man has only one wife. As each Wants at least
j four or five wives, and there are not enough women to go around,
the Indians fight to get their helpmate. When an enemy is killed
his head is cut off as a trophy of war. The bones are taken out of the
head and the skin is dried slowly and carefully to about the sine of a
I doll's head. Then the trophy is dyed black and painted red in spots.
A war dance is held, with the most elaborate ceremonials, and the
I trophy thereafter Is worn by the winner. The photo on the left shows
dried human heads worn by the Jibaros the way the North American
i Indians wore sculps. The photo on the right shows a member of the

Promoter, 62,
In Jail Here
After endeavoring to launch a
move for an J80.000 apartment
house to be built on Court street,
R. D. McFarland, C2, a promoter,
was yesterday arrested by Con
stable Walter DeLons and is at
present in the county jail here,
charged with obtaining money
under false pretenses.
Scheme Cooperative One
McFarland came to Sa'em sT
eral days ago and succeeded in in
teresting several local men in his
plan. He proposed to erect a large
apartment house of 16 suites
which was to be operated on a
cooperative basis. The tenants
were to purchase the'r cpart
ments on a basis of 10 per cent
cash and were to pay the bal
ance in 10 years when they would
come into complete possession oi
their apartments. It is a plan said
to be well known in tha east an:'
is thoroughly sound vh?n prop
erly finance 1.
McFarland claimed ne had $-S.
000 available in the fo-ii of a
first mortgag ) and th the te
maining 182 010 was t be ob
tained by issuing preferred stock
which was to he got by selling
J 10,000 worth to wo incorpo
rators in addition to himself. Mr.
McFarland was to be president.
The remaining $22,000 of the pre
ferred stock was to be carried by
the contractor who would erect
the building.
Warnings Received
McFarland obtained from T. B
Kay a .10 day option on a lot west
of and adjacent to the Court apart
inputs for SftOOO. Nothinsr was I
paid on this, however.
Not satisfied with the promot
ers representations, local men
wired to points in Washington
where McFarland said he had
operated, and received answering
telegrams warning them against
the promoter.
McFarland obtained money from
C. W. Niemeyer and from the
really firm of Becke and Hend
ricks.

reports to the Oregon Growers Co
operative association of the gen

market, such as has not heeu
known since 1909, according to
XI. C. Paulus, sales manager of the
association.

Auction Sale I ails.
An effort was made last Fridav
to dispose of some prunes in New
York by auction. Referring to the
auction, t lie New York Journal of
Commerce, said :
"Indications pointed to the
transfer of the dried fruit market
from the private sale field to the
auction room yesterday, as four
block.s of prunes, containing 2450
boxes, were scheduled for sale.
"Hut slim attendance, indiffer
ent interest and lack of buying
support resulted in the disposal of
only 95 boxes out of the total of
ferings. These were the samples
on display in the auction sales
room. Oregons Brine 9V.
The first lot was of GOO boxes
of 80-90 California prunes tot
which the auctioneer asked a bid
of G4 cents a pound, and the
sample of 25 boxes was knocked
down at 4 cents.
"A similar line of 850 boxes but
of 70-80 sizes was not sold except
for the samples at 5 cents.
"Oregon prunes in 40-50 sizes
and in GOO boxes were not taken
except for 25 boxes at 9 cenix.
Out of 400 boxes of Silver prunes,
25 boxes sold at 7 '4 cents."
Commenting on the above, Mr.
Paulus says that at least 4 cents
must be deducted from the above
prices to take care of freight, sell
ing costs, cash' discounts, packing
insurance, storage and cartage.
