COFFEE ROASTERS
Portland, Ore., June 11. Cof
fee roasters and packers were
placed on the gridiron at the an
nual convention of the Pacific
Coast Grocers' association here to
day. Explanation was asked why
they sell to chain stores with the
privilege of price cutting while
retail grocers are expected to
maintain fixed prices.
The representatives of the big
coffee roasting firms were told
that they would be boycotted by
the retail grocers of tho Pacific
coast unless they maintained
prices on coffee nnd required all
of their customers to do like
wise.
Flour was next considered
President Frank B, Connolly of
Kan Krancisco explained that in
former years the price of flour
was stable and that grocers knew
what they were to expect, but In
recent years thero had como a
change with the result that ho
grocer knew from one clay to the
other what the price would be,
In a discussion on tho margin
which the grocer should make on
some of the goods handled, it was
said that on coffee as well as on
other articles, the grocer does not
receive enough profit to pay for
the handling.

A majority of the guarantors

ance last night, the complete un
derstanding that It takes work,
smiles and confidence to win, and
tho apparent readiness of each to
buckle into it and put the big
show over stronger than ever, has
created a fcling iu Salcni that
1925 will witness the largest sale
of season tickets in Salem's chuu
tauqua history.
This will mean stilt larger
crowds at the big tent and sug
gests that season tickets be se
cured early, and that ticket hold
ers be on haud well in advance
of opening time.
ueserved seat sale will be uuiy
announced and equal opportunity
given to secure reservations.
. The purchase of a season ticket
must precede thc reservation of a
seat for the season, hence every
thing argues for tho early pur
chase of season ticKets.
Tickets are on sale by the vari
ous guarantors already, and will
be on salo at, the usual public
places at au early date.

Crowe said Shepherd had drawn
up a will for Mrs. McClintock, but
did not know that shortly before
she died she had made a new will.
Schemed For Fortune
Shepherd was referred to as a
police court hanger-on at Indian
apolis, where Crowe said, he prac
ticed without a license.
The prosecutor detailed the as
sociations of thc Shepherds with
Mrs. McClintock after she obtain
ed the $1,000,000 estate from her
husband, saying the friendship be
tween Mr. McClintock and Mrs.
Shepherd dated back to school
days in Kansas.
After the Shepherds camo to
Ciiicago for a visit, which length
ened to a lifetime, snid thc prose
cutor, Shepherd planned and
schemed to obtain the fortune.
The mind of tho McClintock boy
was poisoned n pa Inst Alexander

drawn up the will of his foster
son. He also termed It of doubt

Crowe referred to the intended
marriage of young McClintock nnd
.Miss Pope as nn olwttaclc to the
Shepherd plan which had to be re
moved so that the Fherhcrd plan
of 17 yeanr could attnln fruition.
"If Billy had married and got
ten Into a different environment,
tho will Shepherd had drnwn up on
tho day the boy became 21 would
ha e become null nnd void," said
Crowe.
The allegation that Shepherd
then took up seriously the study
of bacteriology was Crowe's next
acusntlon, followed by tho de-
t ft fling of the youth's final illness,
The prosecutor pounded the rail
ing about the Jury box and his voice
rose.

Defense counsel Stewart sought
to have Judge Lynch instruct the
jury to disregard air. Crowe's ro-

The "corpus delicti" was not
