PAGE TEN THE CAPITAL 'JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON TUESDAY, JULY 21, 1025. OF II Now' York, July 21. (AP) Efforts to learn whether banks have financed the gigantic oper ation of bootleggers who ehlpped In trunks from New York inland are being made by Federal At torney Buckner at a John Doe In oulry b ya grand Jury. "We particularly want to learn how a business of thle magnitude was financed and If any banke were Interested In the operations of the bootleggers," said Mr. Buckner. In the first day's Inquiry the grand jury heard testimony of William Gilbert of Nebraska, a federal agent who for months had . been following the trail that lead last Friday to the arrest of Jacob Klrsch and seven others in r Broadway office, which le re garded aa headquarters of a ring that sent salesmen far and wide to solicit orders and did business with persons in 29 states.

Tho city engineer reported thai thn remonstrance against tho Im provement of North Fourth street from Norway to Columbia was not sutfllcent to defiat the Improve ment, but that the remonstrance against the improvement of North 14th from Marlon to 1) bed do tented the Improvement. Mayor Gipsy turned In .1 veto on the ordinance prohibiting th parking of automobiles on bridges The bill npplicd particularly to 4h0 South 21st street bridge nenr tho Taylor swimming resort. The reason for the veto wan that the 10 GO 10 PEOPLE At tho next meeting of the city council an ordinance will be Intro duced calling for a special city election to be called, placing be fore the people the proposal to 1b sue bonds In the sum of $30,000 for the purchase of two new fire pumpers. This was by motion last night of Alderman W. H. Dancy, chairman of the committee on fire and water, who called attention to the danger the city was In a week ago Sunday night when the Cher ry City Milling company's plant burned, with all apparatus busy at tho fire and when another fire started at Willamette university. In reply to a question from Patton, Dancy said that eight ad ditional firemen would be neces sary to man the new machines. The ordinance will probably provide that other measures also he placed before the people. bill did not leave It possible for motor vehicles loading or unload ing fright to stop on the bridge, and the veto message suited thai there was no other place for them t0 stop. Th bill will be Introduced figaln In amended form. After several property owners from North 10th street had ap peared, urging action for the im provement of that street In the vi cinity of the Mui creek bridge which has been rendered useless by high water, Mayor Giesy an nounced that he would call a meeting of the street Improvement committee soon to discuss the sit uation. The prorerty owners want action this year. A petition of the Portland Elec tric Power company for a trans mission tower nt the foot of Cen ter street received favorable action. Wis BaerentS. STILL LUG; The U rum field myth la still i live. According to a Salem man who recently returned from Douglas county, there are people In that county who yet firmly believe that the dapper little dentist murderer from Koseburg, who sley a hermit, put the body In the dentist's auto mobile and sent It over a bank and then set the machine on fire to de stroy the hermit's Identity, Is still imong the living. , They believe that somewhere the former Dr. Drumfleld Is exist ing under an assumed name, per haps with his wife and children, and that the body which was de stroyed at a Portland crematorium was one substituted to permit Brumfleld to escape. They also go bo fur as to declare their belief that the reported marriage of Mrs. Brum field In Seattle to an ther man shortly efter Brum- fleld's death, was merely a blind nd that Hrumfield himself is re initd wlthh Is wife and family. Brumfleld, H will be remember ed, wag sentenced to die on the gnlows, but cheated the official galliws, by making one of his own and died byhangiug In his death coll in the prison. Shortly after his body waB cre mated tho rumor sprang up In Douglas county that It was not Brumfleld who hanged himself at all in the death cell at Salem, that the authorities, or someone, had uubstituted the body of a convict who had died, and that Brumfleld was smuggled out or the prison. The fact that this was an elec tion story, started in the hent of one of the most sizzling elections ever held In the state, has not altered the belief In the minds of many Douglas county people, re gardless of the fact that numer ous persons who knew Brumfleld saw his body in the prison after his death and there could possibly he no doubt as to its identity.
