Cops Called
Three little Salem boys went In
swimming yesterday. Maybe there
were more than three, but the Sa
lem police force, on its official
blotter, has a formal entry whl'Jii
proves beyond reasonable doubt
there were that many. The aqua
tic raiment worn by this particu
lar quarter-dozen', say the police,
w3 similar to that probably u ;ed
by Adam, only there was leas o(
it. It was as comfortable ard tttt
hampeiing as a ball room gowr..
only more so. It was terrible.
Their clothing was nil.
Vasbti Smith, 553 So. 12 street
telephoned a complaint to the
police. It seems the boys were on
12th street, a short distance from
the Southern Pacific station. An
officer was sent for the law break
ers and they were subsequently
lined up in front of the counter
at headquarters.
The boys, strangely enough,
perhaps, were unperturbed. They
answered questions put to them
with no reluctance. The big steel
door which loomed in front of
them worried tbem not a whit.
Finally they were dismissed
with the order to appear at the
station today, when they will be
Interviewed by Chief of Police
Moftitt.
"So long," one of the boys called
back to the desk sergeant as he
left the station.
Man Accused Of
Burglary Bound

William Whitney, said to be
an ex-convict, who was arrested
in Portland yesterday and charg
ed with the burglary of Lock
hart's second band store here, ap
peared before Judge Unruh in the
justice court this morning, waiv
ed a bearing, and was bound over
to the grand jury.
Police claim Whitney had some
of the property stolen from Lock
hart store on his person, when
he was arrested. Twelve watches,
valued at about $100 were taken
from the second hand store Mon
day night.
The landslide in favor of the
bonus bill at Tuesday's election
"shows unequivocally that the
people have not forgotten and will
not forget the services Oregon's
young manhood rendered for the
nation", Governor Olcott declares
in a letter of congratulation fur
warded this morning to Wm. S.
Gilbert, of Astoria, state comman
der of the American Legion .
"Oregon is to be complimented
and congratulated upon the mag
nificent showing she made in in
dicating some share of her appre
ciation for what her service men
did during the great war," the
governor's letter reads. "There
was no question but the measure
would carry, the only question
being by what majority. The
landslide in its favor shows un
equivocally that the people hac
not forgotten and will not forget
the services Oregon's young man
hood rendered for the nation.
"The splendid work which han
been done by. the American iegtoa
since Its organization no doubt
had much to do with the tremen
dous majority given o the sol
diers' bonus bill. Members of the
Legion have shown themselves
truly patriotic In times of read
justment as they did In the time
of war.
"I wish through you, to extend
my most sincere wish for prosper
ity and success to all of the ex
service men."
