With extrns uuoiei) at 33 cents
the Portland market is consider

Early storage activltien were res
ponsible for the recent upwaid
swing and while supplies are ac
tually .'ihort ul the present, local
upcratois are adverse to putting

actual storage movement will not
be under wav tnti! the middle of
March when quality will be bti

OF FLAX SENT
NETS 33 CENTS
Portland. Feb. 26 Oregon's In
itial shipment of flax, 1$ tons of
it, the quotation on whiR-h was 33
cents a pound, f. o. D. Salem, war
stowed yesterday aboard the steam
er Pennsylvania, deatlued for Uos
ton. A following lot abso has been
booked by the American-Hawaiian
Steanudiip company to move neat
week on the molorshlp Callfornian.
In arranging for the tramipoila
tlon of the product, which is held
to presage a regular demand, C
I). Kennedy, manuger of the Port
land agency of the big lntercoastal
fleet. Insured it be in if carried un
der special care,
Robert Crawford of Sulrm, su
perintendent of the Oregon stale
flax industry, personalty looked
after the consignment at terminal
No. 1. E. It. Morris, manager of
the Indiihtry department of the
Chamber of Commerce, was pres
ent as well. The fibre was prepar
ed in bahs. covered with burlap
securely sewed, and on the outside
of that were strips of wood, heav
ier than laths, that were held by
wire. Each bale weighed cIjho to
250 pounds. The flax was of the
1923 hat vest, when about 2000
acres were under cultivation, ex
plained Mr. Crawford, and In 1924
there were 3000 acres devoted to
the crop. The flax is utilised in
the manufacture of linen go-ids,
also thread of various kinds, such
as for ordinary newln? as well as
harness thread and fish twine.
PLOT TO KILL
RICH COUPLE
IS CONFESSED
(Continued from Page One)
attempt had been culled to the
attention of the police and a
private detective agency.
King, according to the police,
said he met the millionaire in
La Report. Cal.. and arranged the
murder details there. The gun
men were to be retained and to
acquaint themselves with the ap
peranoe and habits of the Hotal
ings so that they could perpetrate
the murders quickly and quietly
and make a clean escape.
"Lou' and "Al" were subse
quently retained and agreed to
kill the Ilotalings. They hired
quarters near the Hotaling home
and watched their intended vic
tims closply. They apparently
changed their plans, however,
without telling King, for they are
supposed to have left the poisoned
milk at the borne rather than do
the shooting agreed upon. King
denied all knowledge of the
poisoned milk, nlthough admitting
all other details of the plot, ac
cording to the police, lie said he
could offer no motive for the
murder plot.
The arrest of the millionaire
plotter is fs expected today. He Is
believed to be in San Francisco.
"IjOU,' who is also known as
"Itussian Lou" admitted his part
in the plot detailed by King, but
also denied all knowledge of the
poisoned milk. He suggested that
it might have been a supplement
ary plot "to back up" the gun plot
in the event (hat the gunmen did
not go through with their work.
"I did not intend to kill any
body," "Lou" said, according to
the police. "I was going to take
the money and then forget about
the killing. That is just what I
did."
The police said that they bad
evidence that the money was
passed to the gunmen in the prea
ence of three witnesses, one of
them a taxleab driver who aided
in the Introduction of King to the
gunmen. Certain of these wit
nesses expected to "hijack" the
money from the gunmen and fol
lowed their taxicab in another car
for this purpose. The murder
conspirators were soon lost In a
traffic jam, however, and escaped,

THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM, OREGON
FIRST SHIPMENT OF
BROCCOLI FROM RIDDLE
Roseburir, Feb 36 The first car
load of broccoli to bs shipped from
the county, was moved from Kid
dls today. The car will probably
be sold In Seattle. It Is expected
that there will be one carload
very other day for about two
weeks, and that there will then
ben a few days break between the
early crop and the late broccoli.
The market so far has been very
unsteady, prices oi $ 1 to $ 1.7 J
per crate being received. The lo
cal market is offering 76 cents to
$1. Karly estimates are that there
will be less than 100 carloads thlh
season.
That a chaotic condition In the
prune markets in Germany is res
ponsible for a stagnant prune mar
ket and that the exaggerated esti
mate of the 1924 crop as compil
ed by pacce-s has nothing to do
with it Is the thei-y of Itobeit C.
Paul us. At the same time he Mates
the market Is not altogether dead
as he says Tr:ty of Dallas yester
day sold a car of 6Cs, that he him
self had Inquiry on 3000 boxes of
f-0s yesterday and inquiries still
come In.
"I talked on long dta'ane yes
terday to two big H.bn Francisco
operators," stated Pan I us. "Kach of
hese told me of the situation in
the German market. It appears
that Germany bought consllerably
nbova Its demands and are now sell
Ing at less than the prunes can be
bought for In California. Not only
are prunes offered this way in
oermany but German holders are
oncring mem in is way all over
Europe, which naturally has kill
ed thise markets.
"Germany bought large quanti
ties of its prunes In sacks, be
cause prunes in sacks go In under
a low tariff and prunes In boxes
under a hlsh tariff. The object
of the government is to force erec
tion of factories and employ mote
people. California dealers are
much exercised over the situation
as they say the prunes are pack
ed promiscuously and b?lng offer
ed ns Santa Claras regardless of
where they come from. Oregon
prunes niuat be packed as Oregons
as they have a distinction all their
own.
"The New York market J am
advised is supplied for two months
to come with everything It wants
but 30s. We should be getting
busy from Canada and the middle
wet and 1 look for the prunes to
move out."
Tallinn stales he has made a
earcful check and is satisfied that
there are no more than 7,000.
000 pounds of prunes left in the
northwest.
"The San Francisco operators I
talked to yesterday were not con
cerned with what our total produc
tion was for 1324, but they wanted
to know how manv we have left."

NAVAL HEAD
TINS FAITH IN

few years," aid Admiral Jones,
"we would know better how to
spend the money allotted ue. But
as it Is .ft is my personal opinion
that all units that make up the
national defense should be ready
for Immediate duty."
"Is the navy ready for such ser
vice?" asked Representative
Prnll, democrat. New York.
"There are a great many
things we would like done," the
admiral replied, "especially in
construction of aircraft and sub
marine protection."
Aoked what would be the effect
of a two thousand pound bomb
dropped from an airplane on a
battleship, the admiral said that
if It were not an armor piercing
bomb, "the effect probably would
be local" with no ecrloue damage
to the ship's motive power or the
personnel in enclosed places.
Admiral Jones testified that
two 1400 pound non-explosive
"shells" were dropped from an
airplane on the battleship Wash
ington, .one of which "struck
fair" on the ships deck, the oth
er missing. The one that struck
failed to penetrate the deck, he
added.
"The Washington was finally
sunk by gunfire?" was asked by
uepresentative Perkins, republi
can. New Jersey.
"No. It was the cumulative ef
fect of all fire," Admiral Jones re
plied. "Don't you think you might
have obtained some benefits by
winking the Washington with
bombs?"
"No, I don't think so. as we
learned much about bomhing f
ships from tests on the German
ehips in 1921."
Admiral Jones said he regret
ted the bombing tests had been
so much debated.
"Let me say here," he added,
that certain people have im
pugned the honor of officers con
ducting the tests on the German
ship Ostfriesland and it has been
unfair.
Naval officers before have
tried to learn all (hat is possible
about the effect of airplane bomb
ing of surface ships.

GOOSEBERRIES
SOLD SUBJECT
TO INSPECTION
The 3000 cases of gooseberries
which have been held by th i Falls
City cannery packed from the 1924
crop and reported as uUil unsold
have been sold fcubject to appro
val of nam pies according to Rob
ert C. Puulus. Paulus further
states that the pack of the West
ern Oregon Packing company at
Corvalils also has been sold on the
Kline basis and that leaves In the
valley only two or three lots of
gooseberries to be sold. What the
growers will get from the goose
berries held by the Falls City can
ning company, is not known, but
a guess Is made at alon-; about 4
cents a pound. Some of thse ber
ries were bought at 7H cents and
others were consigned. There still
is considerable of a dab of canned
gooseberries held in the sound
country.
Puulus states that he sold a con
siderable number of od Is and ends
lately In canned good lines, the
canners getting their full prices.
An offer for a car of cherries he
stated was rejected yesterday be
cause the offer was a quarter of
a cent below the canner's asking
price.
lie states that canned aimles are
now held in very few hands ac far
i:s packers nre concerned and are
selling at from $4.50 to $4.75.

10 per cent of their fee collections

other bill levying a 10 per cent tax
on all forma of tobacco.
Yesterday afternoon the senate
passed the public utilities tax, the
10 per cent remission bill and,
after excluding from its provisions
cigars and chewing tobacco, ap
proved the tobacco tax bill. But
they also amended the tobacco tax
bill by removing the emergency
clause, and thereby hangs the tale.

When the senate tore the emer

was served in the senate during
discussion of the bill that the ref-

"pir made the prediction, and
asserted that the necessary ma
chinery la already being oiled up
for immediate action.
The legislature, however, has no
practical remedy to offer that
would relieve the situation. It
might levy a rr.lllage tax of one
mill or slightly more to make up
the deficit, but it would do so with
the certain knowledge that such a
measure would be vetoed by the
governor. Should they attempt to
refer such a tax to the people, they
face the prospect of having the
governor veto not only the revenue
bill but also enough cf the ap
propriation measures to wipe out
the deficit.

debate that has been heard on the
floor of the senate this session.
8onator Rltner pleaded for pas
sage of the bill, explaining that
such action and the financial tan
glo that would subsequently ensue
would result in the governor being
recalled within six months.
Both Hltner and Klepper voted
for the bill under protest, however.
Upton. Dennis and Hall were the
only members to vote against the
amended tobacco tax, Upton taking
occasion to score Governor Pierce
as being to blame for the entire
revenue tangle.
"Things have been brought to a

are called upon to enact a bill
like this at the whim of a gov
ernor who preached economy, and
at the same time asked $10,000
extra for clerical help to run his
office so that he could chane
around the state making political
speeches."

Upton sought to amend the bill
to exempt smoking, f-ncco but
this motion failed. He then tried
to convince the senate that the
emergency clause should be at
