A second attempt to take the
Salem labor vote into the camp of
Uolonel George A. White, guber
natorial candidate, failed miser
ably last night at the meeting of
the Salem Central Trades & Labor
council.
At the beginning ot the discus
sion, C. W-. Brant, president of the
council, employed in the office of
the Statesman, took the floor.
Motion to Pass Lost.
The attitude of the council witK
regard to White had been misrep
resented, that body had neither
endorsed or repudiated him at its
last meeting, Brant said, and in
sisted that the resolution, brought
to fhe last meeting by White's
campaign manager, be yanked off
the file spindle and read again.
It was. Brant put a motion to
"approve" the motion, with the
exception of the last sentence
whereby the endorsement to
White would be given.
Labor to Be Neutral.
It failed. A motion, however,
"not to endorse or repudiate" any
candidate, outside the city elec
tion, before the primaries, passed,
but threw cold water on all can
didates for state office who would
gain the favor of Salem labor.
But one dissenting vote wa;
cast when the motion for endorse
ment of Dr. F. L. Utter, candidate
for mayor, came up before the
body, previous to the jilting of the
White "approval."
Utter Is Endorsed.
Strong sentiment by all dele
gates present was expressed for
the mayoralty candidate, who dis
cussed the matter of granting the
Southern Pacific company conces
sions in the city briefly and stated
that he was against any cut In
wages of city employes.
The council found it possible to
make the endorsement, for the
reason that city officials are elect
ed at the primaries, and because
city officials represent no party.

Poughkeepsie N. Y., May 10.
Mrs. Anne U. Stillman, taking the
stand In her own defense today In
the trial of the divorce suit, insti
tuted by James A. Stillman, New
York banker, denied she had mis
conducted herself with Fred Beau-
vais, Indian guide, as described in

called by the plaintiff.
She denied that she and Beau-
vais had acted improperly in No
vember, 1917, at the Blackburn
house at Grand Anse, Que. George
Adams, a workman, months ago
was reported to have sworn he saw
Mrs. Stillman and Beauvais in
improper postures in the Black

RUIT DAMAGED
Portland, Or., May 10. Fruit
in eastern Oregon counties is
thought to have suffered serious
damage from frost yesterday, ac
cordingly to the weekly crop re
port of the weather bureau issued
here today. The temperature m
Baker yesterday was the lowest on
record for May there.
Cherries bloomed heavily-and
appear to have set well in western
counties. The weather has been
ideal for pollination of all fruits
in ' Douglas county;- pears are
blooming in Hood River valley but
apple bloom is delayed by cold
weather; in Rogue river valley the
petals are falling from pears and
the crop is setting well.
flDrinefield, 111., May 10. Con
dition of growing fruit in Illinois
is the best in several years, ac
cording to the crop report issued
by the weather bureau here toaay.

SALEM TO PLAY
A picked team from the Bank
ers league of Portland will meet
the Salem Senators on the base
ball diamond at Oxford park, Sun
day, according to Manager Jack
Hayes of the local team.
The lineup of the Senators will
be practically the same as that
last Sunday, with perhaps - a
change or two, for Hayes does not
know Just what men will be avail
able. Salem has been extremely for
tunate in winning the first four
games of the season in spite of the
substitutions made by the vacan
cies left by Reinhart and "Mike"
Miller. T
Keene has been hitting as near
100 per cent as any ball player
could hope to hit without being
in the major leagues. His six
home runs in four games have
brought Salem out of one or two
tight holes.

STORE IS SOLD
TO H. L MOORE
With both Governor Ben Olcott and Mayor George Hal
vorsen registering prominently in the foreground, more
than .200 residents of Salem this morning appeared in one
of the scenes of "Listen, Look and Laugh." ,
The scene, in which Governor Olcott, Mayor. Halvorsen,
Mrs. W. Carlton Smith, Mrs. Arthur Rahn and Nancy Thiel
sen were the principals, was filmed at the Southern Pacific
depot at 10 o'clock. This afternoon another scene a lawn
fete in which many state house employes are used, will
be taken on the capitol grounds, weather permitting.
T "Both the governor and th
mayor did exceptionally well," de
clared Harold J. Binney, producer
director, this afternoon. "1 am im
mensely pleased with their work
and with that of the others who
have appeared In the picture."
Tears Have to Be Coaxed.
Spectators who saw a second
scene, staged on State street at
Liberty this morning, were
amused at the manner in which
Mr. Binney succeeded in getting
from little Nancy Thlelsen a facial
expression which he desired
Nancy was supposed to be angry
indignantly angry and to be
weepingly copiously.
But Nancy didn't feel angry.
Nor weepy. , Nor indignant. Mr,
Binney showed her what he want
ed. He explained again. He de
monstrated. . He almost wept him
self, ; ..' . ., ,
Nancy was undecided; sober
faced. ; She glanced nervously at
the large crowd of curious people
who were . watching her every
movement. Again Mr. Binney be
gan to explain what her facial ex
pressions should be.
Sympathy Does Trick.
Then, suddenly, Mr. Binney
ceased giving orders.
"That's all rignt," he told the
little girl. "You don't have to do
it. I know you're rather tired of
this." He put one arm around
her.
Sympathy proved too much for
Nancy. She began to cry.
Quickly Mr. Biney got out of
the scene.
"Now, shake your fist," he
shouted at her, "Shake it look
here shake our fist at me!"
Nancy, crying as she waa sup
posed to cry, waved a small fist in
the direction of Mr. Binney.
"Camera," bawled Mr. Binney.
The machine began to click.
"That was good," he observed
later.
Crowd Appreciates Ruse.
Members of the crowd glanced
at one another. "Pretty slick,"
said one man.
Mr. Binney came to Salem with
the hope that, in the production
of The Capita Journal's picture.
he might find here some talent
which he might later use in ms
Portland studio. Mr. Binney, who
had 14 years in Los Angeles as
motion picture actor, author, di
rector and producer, was drawn to
the northwest by its wonderful
scenery.
Forty-three persons have been
signed for parts in "Listen, Look
and Laugh." The picture, which
is a two reel comedy-drama, is to
be completed this week and will
be shown next week at the Bllgb
theater.
Principals in the picture are as
follows: Gertie L. Gettum, Miss
Nancy Thlelsen; Heza Grafter,
Carl Hinges; Lotta Getdough, Mrs.
Arthur Rahn; Ike N. Gettum,

DEATH OF TWO
POLICEMEN IS
LAID TO TRIO
A heavy demand for all canned
goods Is prevalent in the eastern
states because of the fact that
there are but few fruits left in
first hands, accordng to E.
Sergeant of New York City, senior
member ot the firm of Sergeant &
Butler, who is In the city in con
ference with the officials of the
Oregon Growers Cooperative asso
ciation.
"There is a particular demand
for your Oregon prunes," said
Mr. Sergeant. I know nothing of
the loganberry situation for our
firm does not handle them and
I understand that your market lies
In the east. Eastern dealers have
never taken very enthusiastically
to the loganberries.
"While New York is not buying
heavy in futures New England Is
making large purchases of canned
goods. The market for canned
goods is perhaps due to the fact
that quotations have been offered
while those of dried fruits have
not'. '
Throughout the east and middle
west Mr. Sergeant said that, there
was a prospect of a heavy fruit
crop which would mean low prices
with which the finished western
product will have to compete. He
Intimated that this might do
some injury to the market and de
mand for western goods.
General business conditions east
ot the Mississippi are good and
have taken an optomlstlc turn.
Money can be secured at low rates
ot interest, though in the sections
affested by the coal miners 'strike
the business men are letting their
stocks run down nl anticipation ot
bard times.

Chicago, May 10.- The police

Washington, May 10. British
embassy officials after a final con
ference with Alexander E. Robert
son, British war veteran and suit
or of Miss Mary Culberson, daugb.
ter of Senator Culberson of Texas,
declared action of the embassy on
Robertson's charges of kidnaping
by private detectives would

proceedure which Robertson has
instituted.

embassy officials today further in
formation to support his charges
that because of his affection tor
Mies Culberson, he was kidnaped
by private detectives who at
tempted to railroad him out of the
country.
Indications were seen In the
statement Issued last night by R.
Leslie Cralgle, first secretary of
the embassy after the initial con
ference with Robertson, that tbe
war veteran had to come extent at
least, impressed embassy officials
with his story. ' The statement
said:
"The embassy U inclined to con
sider that certain aspects as pre
sented call for further investigation."
