J. F. Byrd who, according to
press dispatches, occupies the
president's chair in the magnlfi
cent New York offices of the Air
craft Construction Transportation
corporation, of Delaware, capital
ized at $100,000,000, and who
claims to be a former resident of
Salem, is not known as far as
could be learned today.
Mr; Byrd, talking from a back
ground of mahogany, told newspa
permen he formerly "bought and
sold theaters , in Salem, Oregon."
Salem financiers and former the
ater men said today they had nev
er had the pleasure " of making
Mr. Byrd's acquaintance.
According to dispatches, the
backbone of the selling argument
placed in the hands of the sales
man for the corporation is the
assurance that the company,
sometime when it sells enough
stock will build and operate
three monster airships, each 300
feet longer than the longest Zep
pelin of record, to operate a pas
senger, mail and express carrying
service between New Tork and
Chicago.
Hal Patton, " Salem stationer
id pioneer theater man here, said
this afternoon he was not ac
quainted with Mr. Byrd. Frank
Bligh who, with his father, T. G
Bligh, has been in the theater
business here for 14 years, did
not know Mr. Byrd. Salem bank
ers also said they had no know!

Thanks God For
Plenteous Crops
New England, N. D., Oct. 80.
The wheels of time turned back
ward .300 years here yesterday
when an entire village forgot the
dizzy pace of the modern world
and knelt as did their Puritan fa
thers to give thanks to the Divine
favor that granted them a bounti
ful harvest.
For four years farmers of thU
community watched their crops
wither and die. Last spring the
community joined in a common
prayer.
Pastors of the Catholic, Con
gregational and Lutheran church
es led the thanksgiving services
when 600 farmers and their houses
holds, who are not "too busy to
believe in modern days in mir
acles" turned their faces upward
in the old hymn of harvest and
thansglving, "Come, ye thankful
people."
The harvest of the last season
has been the most bountiful in
the history of this community.

Havre, Mont., Oct. 30. That
Mrs. Margaret Carleton deliber
ately attempted to win tha Rev.
Leonard J.-Christler, rector of St.
Marks Episcopal church of this
ciy, from his wife and that, fail
ing, she shot the minister and then
herself, is the belief of Blsnop
Frederick Faber, head of the dio
cese of Montana, according to a
statement made by him today.
"I believe, as a result of the In
vestigation I have made of the
tragedy which occurred in the
Christler home early Friday morn
ing and after questioning those
who know about it, that if this
woman had been able to work her
will on Mr. Christler he would be
alive today, unfaithful to his wife
but still living," the bishop's
statement declared.
Regarding the investigation ol
accusations involving the names
of Mr. Christler and Mrs. Carleton
which he conducted a year and a
half ago, Bishop Faber said:
Bishop's Statement.
"No formal charges were ever
filed against Mr. Christler. Let
ters came to me containing state
ments detrimental to Mr. Christ-
ler's character. I came to Havre and
insisted that the persons making
the accusations present their tes
timony. When they learned that
their evidence was to be taken
down by a shorthand reporter,
they would not testify.
"I set a second data for a later
hearing when I could stay no long
er in Havre for that purpose, the
vestry of Mr. Christler's church
fixed another date, but the test!
money was never given.
I found evidence which made
me believe that the accusations
were animosity on the part of the
persons making them, due to ac
tivities of Mr. Christler which had
nothing to dqyith Mrs. Carleton
mr. unrisucr was a Dig man,
physically and mentally, an out
doors man and he did many things
In novel and unusual ways. He had
many activities for the benefit of
his fellow men which were outside
ordinary charch work and many
people were to be found who were
willing to find fault with him.
A Closed Incident.
So far as civic authorities in
Havre are concerned, the double
shooting Is a closed case. The
coroner's verdict has been brought
in "and Mrs. Christler has left for
Waterloo, N. Y., with her hus
band's body to bury him in hlB
old home in Cayuga county.
A statement that the inquest
over the bodies of Mr. Christler
and Mrs. Carleton was not secret
was made today by R. G. Llnebar-
ger, foreman of the Jury.
We only excluded the morbid
ly curious, who had no connection
or interest In the case," he de
clared.

Tacoma, Wash., Oct. 30. Re
lief, for northwest shippers who
have been handicapped by a car
shortage Is In sight and the situa
tion will be greatly improved
within ten days, according to J,
M. Rapelje, vice-president of the
Northern Pacific railway com
pany, in charge of operation and
maintenance, who is here today
The car shortage was not brought
about by the shopmen's strike, nor
can Its existence be blamed on the
long deadlock between the com
pany and Its employes, Mr. Rapelje
declared emphatically asserting
that the situation arose because of
congestion ot freight on eastern
lines.
"We have the lowest number of
bad order freight cars on our line
today that we have had at any
time in the last ten years," Mr.
Rapelje said. "Tha reason that we
hava been unahla to meet the de
mands of the shippers is that a
large part of our cars are In the
east, helping to move coal."
Informed that Senator Miles
Polndexter and Secretary of La
bor James 3. Davis had appealed
to Washington, IX C, In behalf of
shippers of this state, Mr. Rapelje
