TO DO PART WHEN
EUROPE AGREES
St. Paul, Minn.. May 14. (A.
P.) America desires to play a
Rreat part In every honest effort
but it will not be used as a cat's
paw to gratify foreign ambition
and self Interests, Senator Arthur
Capper of Kansas said in an ad
dress before the St. Paul chamber
commerce here today. Senator
Cupper is a member of the senate
committee on foreign relations
succeeding the late Medlll McCor-
mlck.
This nation is deeply Interest
ed in the restoration of Europe,
Senator Capper safd, "and all its
influence will -be enlisted In be
half of a whole hearted effort on
the part of Europe's governments
for a secure and stabilized polfti
cal and economic life.
"But the sincerity of American
professions was powerfully attest
ed when Ambassador Houghton
said that American co-operation
and American loans depended on
agreement in good faith of Euro
pean powers. It was this warning
courteously but firmly voiced by
Ambassador Houghton that
aured the world that America is in
earnest Ja Its peace professions.
"It is not Indulging in conven
tional phrases or pious sentiments.
It desires to play a part worthy
of its own great position In the
world in a genuine accord among
Europe's powers and equally it is
determined to hare no part In
European scheming for advantage.
which offers no foundation for
permanent peace.
"Americans approve this hon
est and straight forward policy.
They have observed for six years
European governments crying
'peace' but doing little in the spir
it that alone can assure peace, six
years of temporizing of expedi
ents and of disagreements, and
they have witnessed the slow re
covery of the people of Europe,
hampered and not promoted by
political interest.
"The appeal e Ambassador
Houghton was an appeal to good
faith by Europe's governments
and h is t imely address was
warning that American sympathy
and American money are' not
available to any government for
purposes of special advantage.
"Ttiia asserts a sound American
foreign policy ,tna: he country
will heartily approve. America is
not afraid of its responsibility nor
its duty in behalf of peace; it is
not seeking" to evade the problems
of world peece because it is diffi
cult or costly. (
"It desires to play a great part
In every honest etiort, but it will
not be used as a cat's paw to
gratify foreign ambition and self
interest. If thhj notable message
is taken by Europe's governments.
Mr. Houghton's speech will prove
a landmark in constructive Amer
lean diplomacy."
SPA TO ENLARGE;
LEASES PART OF
HAUSER STORE
Frank Myers, proprietor of the
Spa, announced today that he has
taken a seven-year lease on a part
of the building now occupied by
the Hauser sporting goods store
one door immediately west of the
Spa, and that the space will be
converted into a large modern din
ing room that will be added to
the space now utilized by the Spa.
The Hauser firm will retain the
front portion of the building, but
the partition In the building will
moved toward the front and the
Spa will occupy all the space back
of the partition. This will be en
tcred by an archway from the
present 8 pa dining room cut
through at the rear. - The new
dining room will be large, light
and airy and of greater seating
capacity than the present dining
space. It will be equipped with
booths, and the central space will
be equipped with dining tables al
so. For the accommodation of
banquets the centrol space will be
available for specially constructed
tables capable of seating 75 or 80
persons, and when banquets are
held the booths will not be In use.
The dining room will be art in-
tically and appropriately decorat
ed.
Mr. Myers has not decided when
he will add the new service. Fl
aays it may be this summer or the
coming fall, with a possibility that
it may not bo done this year.

The stolen automobile In which
the bandits first entered Sacra
mento was taken from Mr. and
Mrs. Paul Therlault, at their home
east of Auburn. Pointing a rifle
at them, one of the men said: "We
are Tenko and Hall."
The bandits then tied the couple
in their bed and departed in the
Theriault automobile.
It later developed that Hansen
had been ejected from his auto

but Hansen did not know which
direction they took. Meanwhile a
posse was en route toward Stock

Auburn, Cal., May 14. Two
men, who said they . were Joe
Tanko and Floyd Hall, sought for
weeks aa escaped murderers from
San Quentin prison, thrust rifles
today (n the faces of Mr. and Mrs.
Paul Therault, ranchers, three
miles east of here and drove off
ia tbe Therault auto.
Therault found the supposed
convicts In his woodshed early
this morning when a dog: barked
consistently. Both men pointed
rifles at him when he opened the
door of the shed and then marched
him Into the house.
"I'm Tanko and this Is Hall,
said one of the men.
He read newspapers containing
accounts of the convicts' adven
tures and asked how the neigh
bors regarded their activities.
The Theraults were than bound
to their bed. When Mrs. Therault
complained that she was being
bound so tightly as to cut off
blood circulation, the man who
said he was Tanko remarked:
"That's better than having a
rope around your neck, like I will
get."
After leisurely cooking them
selves breaktast the bandits helped
themselves to some provisions and
left in the family auto.
L
TO
Washington, May 14 Henry
Ford's willingness to buy 400 ships
from the shipping board, involving
a -largo scrapping program, met
with immediate opposition today
In . some shipping board quarters,
While the view was expressed
that eventually three or four hun
dred of the laid-up ships. Includ
ing for the most part lakers,
would be forced on the Junk pile.
some of the commissioners said
that it was by no mearts certain
that the board would agree to any
wholesale scrapping for some time
to come.
It was made clear that no offer
from Mr. Ford had been received
at the board and the members are
awaiting the return of Chairman
O'Connor from a trip to Detroit
and Buffalo before formally going
into such a question.
Commissioner Thompson said:
"For a long time certain Ameri
can owners and operators of for
eign flagships have been urging
the destruction of a large portf
of government ships. Hut none of
the surplus ships of other coun
tries are being destroyed, nor has
such been proposed.
It is costing approximately
$500 each a year to keep the sur
plus ships owned by the govern
ment. Their value, as naval auxll
iarfes at this moment of world
conditions, cannot be accurately
measured. Their value as Import
ant units In an American march
ant marine when normal world
conditions are restored, Is an add
ed security to American export
ers, producers and consumers.
Obviously, it would he greatly to
the marine Interests of foreign na
tions for the United Slates to de
stroy one third of Its fleet of ships
as yer i Lara seen no sound
reasons advanced why the United
States of all nations, should weak
en Its naval auxiliary and economic
portion In world trade, and stand
alone in a program to remove sur
plus ship tonnage."

Impending th afternoon, as a
result of charges made by A. F.
Marcus that his house at Nesko

there. It Is said that Marcus haH
the names of the boys involved.
and that most of the high school
boys belong to the Julius Caesar

port at high school also to the ef
fect that several Willamette stu
dents participated In the affair.
The house was not only broken
Into, It was stated, but put In a
disorderly condition by tbe boys,
many of whom left signs of sick
ness brought on, apparently, by
too hearty Imbibing of the liquor.
Report given out at the home of
Mr. Marcus this afternoon was to
the effect that he was remaining
indoors because of i.'ckness, and
could not confer with anyone. The
report was also given out, however,
that he would, when ready, "tell
everything there is to tell."
It was stated that tho boys have
ec ii red legal advice, and will fight
the case. Marcus Issued them an
ultimatum, stating that he would
give them until this morning to
make good the damages done to
his house, and if they did not
make good he would press hi
chorBfts. They boys had not "made
good" by this afternoon.

Reports of a battle between rum
runners and the coast guard In

Washington, May 14 With the
blockading of many of the rum
running channels off the Atlantic
coast by the coast guard, prohibi
tion officials arc concerning them
selves with land smuggling on the
Canadian border.
Assistant Prohibition Commission
er Jones said today approximately
general and federal dry agents
are concentrated on the Canadian
border prepared to break up any
surprise Vnovcs from the land boot
legKers,
The war of the coast guard on
the rum fleet has had a beneficial
effect already in the opinion of Mr.
Jones, It has scattered "the
enemy" he said, And raised the
price of liquors obtainable In the
known wet spots.
Believe that the bootleggers,
once checked sufficiently to make
hazardous an attempt to smuggle
liquor to American shores, will
return to the practice of reillstilling
industrial alcohol for sale as a
beverage wns expressed today by
the assistant commissioner, who
said this would bring' poisonous
concoctions back on tho bootleg
market.
To combat such a move highly
trained men will be needed, he
said.

STATE KEEPING
'If I could pick out 300 or 400
families In this state, and get rid
of them. I could get rid of 60 per
cent of the feeble minded people
of Oregon." said Dr. J. N. Smith
hi ad of the Oregon state feeble
minded institution, in a speech be-
Liore the sociology class at Wil
lamette university yesterday.
There is much more In heredity
than in environment, according to
Dr. Smith. "Without good hered
ity you cannot produce a good en
vironment
That money spent In an effort
to Improve the Individual Is large
ly money wasted, was the gist of
Dr. Smith's speech.
"Normal persons don't commit
crimes, he said. "An Individual
who commits a crime Is either In
tellectually subnormal, or lacking
in some normal emotion, Buch as
the sense of danger." He clsssl
fied Leopold and Loeb under the
latter classification.
Put a subnormal person In the
best environment, he stated, and
the only result will be to dlscour
age him and make him worse than
ever. "The hest way ia to keep
him in an environment that he
understands," the doctor stated. I
He traced the family of Richard
Edwards, who. through a marriage
with Elizabeth Tuthill .a highly
intelligent womnn, produced a
long line of prominent statesmen
and educators. Through a second
marriage with a woman of com
monplace Intelligence, a line of
men and women was produced
none of whom were prominent In
any way.
