$505,000 valuation of $24,000 in
the place of which there ie later
to he added the capital investment
required for mc operation of au
tomobile busses in substitution for
the abandoned car lines.
Fixing of the capitul valuation
by the commission was made n
connection with the investigation
and suspension of the proposed In
crease by the Southern Pacific
company in local tariffs. Kay L.
Smith, former city attorney, rep
resented the city in the hearing
held August 19, 1924.
In its order the commlsison held
In part:
Exact Cost Unknown.
"The investigation of the com
mission's stafi allows that the ex
act cost to tho Southern Pacific
company and its predecessor, the
Portland, Eugene & Eastern rail
way, for the street car system
alone cannot be exactly deter
mined. The investigation showed
that at least $Sti,S5ii.09 should be
deducted from the above amount
(J652.90G.4G) for property not
used or useful in street ruilway
operation and that the resulting
$066043.37 represents a maxi
mum 'of what the existing lines
could have actually cost the pres
ent owner, v It Is quite possible
that the amount paid to the Port
land General Electric company for
a property then having certain
strategic advantage to the South
ern Pacific system may have been
In excess of the actual cost to the
original owners.
"At the hearing the Southern
Pacific company presented a claim
for a parcel of land at the fair
grounds terminus which had not
before been considered, which
claim amounting to ?G21.i!4 should
bo allowed. This increases tho (1)
normal reproduction cost-new
above set out to $449,917.00, the
4 ) historical reproduction cost
new to $4GC,177.43 and the (5)
historical reproduction cost, less
depreciation, to $332,521.54.
Pronertv Excluded.
"Among the other claims of
value for the Southern Pacific
company was the land value,
chiefly represened by the lots on
which the car barn Is constructed.
The basic value of this land, used
by the railway company's land ap
praised, was $23,821.88, loss than
20 per cent in excess of the ap
praisal of the realty committee of
the city of Salem. To this bare

would have been received by the

HANGING FOR
PRISON I
Prosecution Constructs Its
Case Around Fact That
All Three Convicts Were
Party To Conspiracy.
That tho elate will be forced to
ask for the hanging of Ellsworth
Kellcy and James Wlltos on tho
grounds that they were parties to
a conspiracy which resulted in the
deaths of John Sweeney and Milt
Holman, guards, during the prison
break of August 12, Is pretty well
agreed among local attorneys who
have Inquired closely into the evi
dence. To date there has been no posi
tive evidence uncovered to desig
nate either Kclley or Willos as the
man who fired the shot that kill
ed Guard Sweeney.
The prosecution. It Is pointed out,
must construct its case around the
fact that all three of the convicts
were Implicated In the conspiracy
that contemplated violence If nece.s
sary to n.ake their escape and
plead that the three, therefore, are
equally guilty of any crime com
mitted in carrying out the con
splracy.
Whether or not the two will
hang on tho strength of such a
pleading will rest entirely with the
jury, and the Interpretation that
the supreme court might place up
on such evidence In tho caso of an
anneal.
To support their contentions that
participation in such a conspiracy
constitutes a capital offense, those
who sponsor it quoto opinions of
the supreme court holding parties

SKULL FOUND
Albany, Or., Aug. 27. A finil
o( considerable quantities of vol
canic sand or ash, and fragments
of a human skull, which when put
together gave semblance of one of
the loweet orders of man, has led
J. G. Crawford, local geologlet, to
believe that he has found a poksI
hle burled civilization on the Cala.
pooia river, near Albany.
The sand Is much finer than
ordinary sand and Is not wnter
worn, having sharp kulfc-llkc
edges. Being on the river bank,
it Is not possible that the deposits
could have been washed there.
Whether the sand was deposited
before or after the valley was an
inland aea, as most valley geolo
gists now agree was the case, It Is
not known and Crawford does not
venture an opinion.
The volcanic ash extends from
near the sources of the Cnlapoola
river to the mouth at Albany, And
for a considerable distance away
from the river on both aides, the
ash Is of great depth.
The skull found by Albany resi
dents and turned over to Craw
ford, was ,ocnted buried In several
feet of the volcanic ash. IMeced
together the shull resembled that
of the earliest Inhabitant of the
country placed at from 10,000 to
25,000 years ago.
Crawford has uncovered many
relics dealing with the history of
Oregon. ,
lem people. A year ago he was
brought in from the Stayton eoun
try and committed to the poor
farm. His mind had started to
wander, his hand . was unsteady
and he was incapable of making
his own living. During the year
dementia had Increased until today
the examining physician found he
should be placed under the care of
state alienists and expressed the
opinion that his days were num
bered.
Harvey Ogle, the dead man, was
employed as a clerk In the book
store of H. D. Boone, located where
the Patton book store is now lo
cated. Men who remember, him
say he was well liked and he woe
known to everyone In Salem, at
that time a village of a few thous
and Inhabitants.
The shooting occurred between
9 and 10 o'clock In the evening,
and what passed between the two
men before It happened Is not

E
Cleveland, Ohio, Aug. 27 The
conduct of Clarence Darrow In tho
Scopes trial In Dayton, Tenn., was
pointed to today by Carrlngton T.
Marshall, chief justice of the Ohio
supreme court as an example of
the unethical practitioner which
would bring upon him tho "con
demnation of all self-respecting
members of the bench and bar.'
The chief Justice's criticism was
made in an address, to some 200
law students sworn In as attorneys
here.
"The law of that case was plain
and simple," ho said. "Neither the
Indictment nor the statute under
which the Indictment was framed
contained any mention of evolu
tion, neither did they In tho re
motest degroe Involve or neces
sarily provoke any discussion of
the theory of evolution.
"The Tennessee statute provides
that it shall bo unlawful for any
teacher in any of tho public schools
of the stnte to tench any theory
that denied the story of the Divine
Creation of mnn or to tench that
man descended from a lower order
of animals. That the forbidden
doctrines were so taught was free
ly admitted by the defendant. No
defense was therefore open except
that or the constitutional validity
of the law Itself.
'And yet Darrow sought to brow
boat nnd to bluff tho judge Into
admitting expert evidence on tho
soundness of the theory of evolu
tion." JAPANESE FLOOD SUBSIDES

County Jail employees discover

whore he hnd strangled himself
with a piece of wire. Ho had been.
dead for some time when the body

The wire used by Dr. Young was
probably smuggled Into him, the
county Jailer said. Permission had
been asked several days ngo to take
a coil of wire into Young's cell,
ostensibly for use In rigging a
radio receiving set, but this was)
denied. The dentist hnd twisted
the wire about his neck and then
turned It tightly with a stick.
Assistant County Jailer George
Palmer visited Young's cell at five
minutes to six this morning and
roused him with Instructions to
prepare himself for court where
his trial Is In progress. An hour
later, County Jnllcr Croushorn was
