PASSENGERS
SAY RESCUE
EFFORTS UH
Officers of White Sta g
Liner Criticized Fo
Failure To Aid Crew
Sinking Freighter.
New York. April 23 Passengers
who arrived on the White Star lin
er Homeric after seeing the Jap
anese freighter, Raifuku Maru
sink with Us SS officers and men,
expressed widely divergent views
to whether every possible ef
fort had been inado by tho Hom-
erlc's officers to save tlo Japanese
seamen.
The division among the passen
gers was about equal, some pay
ing that everything humanely pos
sible had been done and that it
ouU have been suicide to launch
the Homeric's lifeboats, other stat
ing that they believed some lives
might have been saved had the
boats been launched or rafts set
adrift towards the sinking vebscl.
Captain John Roberta wis given a
testimonial signed by 123 of the
238 first cabin passengers.
Criticism Severe
Liston L. Lewis, New York at
torney said: "I was not Impressed
that the Homeric upheld the tra
ditions of English sailors.'
Amos Pinchnt, lawyer and pub
licist and brothe. of Governor
Ci if font Pinchot o Pennsylvania,
said he"aw some of the sailors
struggling in the water aftir their
sh!n had foundered, and added
"Numonus persons expressed an
ger and regret that we dfd not
stand by for a few minutes more
than wo did after tho ship sank.
Paul E. Albertl, grain and mar
ine Insurance man said: "If rafts
hud been launched from the Hom
eric even without seamon on them,
I believe the seas would have car
ried the rafts ,lo the men. There
certainly wa3 no hercic effort to
rescue tho Japanesi.
Among those who defended Cap
tain Ruber's was tho Reverend
James J. Talbott of Old St. Pat
rick's cathedral, who grayed with
bared head as the men were drown
ed.
Others Bark Officers
I believe the Homeil:'s officers
strove heroically to reach the sink
ing ship," he said, "and that It
would have been dUastrojs to
risk tho lives of the liner's crew
in 'ffeboats."
"C.'ptaln Roberta did yvcrythlng
humai.'y possible," said Everett T.
Tomlinson, vice- president of Dore
r.im & Co.. a Jverttelr.g agents.
Another passenger said Captain
Roberts "wouM have been a mur

SAYS STEALING
"I surely am going to try to
break myself of that habit," was
the repentant declaration of a 17'
year-old Mehama boy who started
to walk in from Mehama yesterday
afternoon to Salem to confess
the 'sheriff that he had been im
plicated in a theft of tires from
fuck belonging to a Mehama
farmer. The habit he referred to
was stealing the tires.
The boy started to walk, but tho
ods who protect all repentant
boys worked out a strange freak
of fate for him. These little gods
sent Deputy Sheriff Bert Smith
liuug the same road where the boy
was walking. Bert drove up be
hind the boy between here and
dtayton, noticed his footsore gait
and asked him if he didn t want to
ride. The boy did. During tlu
ride it came out the lad was bead
ed (or the sheriff's office to con
fess.
' I took those tires and couldn't
sleep,' the boy told the officers.
"The theft preyed on my minJ
Finally I decided the only way out
of the deal was to come into Salem
and tell the Buerlff. I know where
the tires are and will give them
back."
County Jud?c Hunt told the boy
to go home, .iis up the ttres an
.eturn them to their owner. The
boy had no money, but he said he
was actiualntt l with tho stage
driver and would have no trouble
-jetting horns.
Two othe lads implicated in
the tire theft have left the couu
try, the boy said.
"Yes sir, that habit of stealing
fires is a bad one. and I surely am
going to try to break myself of it,
he reiterated to the judge as he
left.

REFERENDUM
TO BE FILED
Move To Delay Enforce
ment of Revenue Meas
ure Presages Special
Legislative Session Soon
Oscar T. Otuen, secretary ot tbe
Portland Ketall Tobacco Dealers'
aasociat ion, and Lawrence Mc
Nary, Portland attorney, are here
today making preliminary ar
rangements to Invoke the referen
dum on tbe tobacco tax bill enact
ed by trio 1925 legislature. It was
aid that the oauers will be filed
with the secretary of state tomor
row and request made of Attorney
General Van Winnie for ballot
title.
While here today Olsen and Mc-
Nary conferred with Secretary ot
State Kozcr nnd the attorney gen
eral. Ono angle of the referendum
discussed was the number of
namea that will oe necessary on
referendum petitions pertaining to
all measures on wnlch the refer
endum ia t be invoked. This
question wbb placed before the at
torney genera several weeks ago
by the secretary of stale and At
torney General Van Winkle is ex
pected to hand down an opinion
on this today.
Heretofore only about 8000
names were necessary on referen
dum petitions under the law pro
viding that theee should be 6 per
cent of the vote e.u for justice of
the supreme court In the Inst pre
vious genera, election, but always
heretofore it baa happened that .
this vote was represented by the
ballots caBt for a candidate run
ning without opposition. In the
last election, however, there were
a republican, a democratic and an
independent candidate In the run
ning, and it the petitions must
have 5 per cent ot the total vote
cast for theee the number will be
about 20,000.
The tobacco tax act will be tho
third measure ot the 1925 session
on which the referendum Is being
invoked. The other two are the
do-called tithing bill requiring
4elf-sustatnlng state activities to
pay Into the general state fund 10
per cent ot their financial returns,
and the bus bill. Completed ref
erendum petitions must be Hied by
May 2K the date on which the new
laws become effective or the ref
erendum fails.
The tobacco tax and the tithing
bill were two of the revenue meas
ures designed to rescue the state
from a financial noie caused by a
shortage of avafirble funds for the
present blennium amounting to
about si, 000,000. The tohaccl
lax alone was variously estimated,
to raise from $800,000 to $1,-
225,000 and was mainly depended
on to rellcvs the state.
if the rcferendums are success
ful, and In view of the fact that
Governor Plerco vetoed the meas
ure calling for a special election
next September In event ojiy ot
tho revenue bills were referended,
the question arises, what Is the
'tt.ite f oing to do? Some specula
tion as to the probability ot a spe
cial legislative session the latter
part of the presmt year Is already
hning heard In Snlem.
After their apprehension and
detention here. American Legion
fficers In Portlund learned of tha
plight of their dead comrade
n nnd rushed their service 01-
tlrer here. He spent all day tier
yesterday and three telephon
nils and a telecram were requir
ed before the county court at
Klnmati Kails, where the boy
mother lives, would release the
lad to tha service men. But ha
was taken to Portland last night.
"We are going to do our best
to make the sort ot a man out nt
this lad his father would like to
have him be." said Valliant. a
he booated the boy Into hla car.
