CECIL BEGINS
CAMPAIGN FOR
DISARMAMENT
London, Oct. 21 (P) Viscount Ce
cil who recently resigned from the
Baldwin cabinet In disagreement
with its disarmament policy, today
launched a personal speaking cam
paign In the cause of disarmament,
making the first of a half dozen
addresses which he will deliver be
fore Christmas.
Speaking at a special meeting of
the British league of nations union
at Caxton hall, Viscount Cecil de
clared that the object of his resig
nation from the cabinet, an act
which shook the British political
world, was to have greater 'freedom
to press, upon his fellow country
men the urgency of disarmament
without which, he said, there could
be no hope of an enduring peace in
Europe.
"Do not let us forget that out of
every pound of taxation we pay 14
shillings are due to past wars or
preparation for future wars," he
said. "This is a terrible ouraen, iar
greater than any other country in
the world Is bearing at present."
Viscount Cecil said that Great
Britain must reduce the cost of her
fighting services, but added that
she could not do so to any great ex
tent unless other countries did the
same. He asserted that Britain,
with the possible exception of Rus
sia, where accurate Information Is
not available, Is the only European
country whose expenditure for arm
aments Is larger than before the
war.

Substitute Not Found
Brookhart Proposes Di

Washington, Oct. 21. UP) Oppo
sition flared up today within the
ranks of the newly organized group
of western republican senators to the
proposal to eliminate the controver
sial equalization fee provision of the
vetoed McNary-Haugen farm bill
from a substitute under considera
tion. Senator Nye of North Dakota, one
of the five members of the western
bloc, served notice that he was not
ready to abandon' the equalization
fee In an eifort to get a substitute
farm bill acceptable to all members
of the group.
While Senator Borah of Idaho,
also a member of the group, has
been an opponent of the equaliza
tion fee, it had been hoped by the
western senators that they might
find a substitute which would be
acceptable to him but Senator Nye
insisted today that such a provision
had not been found.
Senator Brookhart of Iowa, an
other member of the group, has been
working on a plan which would sub
stitute direct appropriations by the
government as a means of raising
funds to handle surplus crops In
place of the equalization fee. Sen
ator Nye does not favor this In Its
present form. A meeting which had
been called for today in an effort
to work out the differences of the

The request was made to County

E. T. Barnes.
The Salem General hospital has
been built entirely by private sub
scriptions and has never asked for
county aid said Huckesteln as a pre
face to his request to the county
court. County Commissioner Jim
Smith reminded him that the coun

build a pest house apart from the
hospital building. Huckesteln stress
ed the necessity of a place where
cases oi an infectious nature not
virulent enough to be relegated to
the pest house, could be taken care
of. Both he and Barnes stated that
if the county sees fit to furnish
the funds for equipping the semi

BEFORE COURT
FOR MIXING IT
A privately held fight between two
matrons living on north Church
street came to light today In jus
tice court when Mrs. Josie Smith,
1825 north Chruch, plead not guilty
to a charge of larceny by bailee pre
ferred by Mrs. Amanda Elliott, 1835
north Church streev.
Mrs. Smith said she weighs but
172 and that Mrs. Ellictt had an un
fair advantage because she weighs
200. But because she was French.
Mrs. Smith said she could not let
anyone have It over her and the re
sult of this attitude following a row
over a cook-stove, said to be worth
$2.50. brought on the fracas In which
Mrs. Smith got a torn and lacerated
finger and Mrs. Elliott Is said to
have received a black eye.
No evidenec of the injured optic
was apparent this morning for the
difficulty between the two women
took place September 24th. Mrs.
Smith had borrowed from Mrs. Elli
ott a small cook stove to take with
her to the hop yards. She had been
told that she could use it and re
turn it or sell It for Mrs. Elliott, Mrs.
Smith sold It for $2.50.
Called upon to acount for the
$2.50 Mrs. Elliott was Informed that
when she paid ' a water bill and
transportation costs Incurred by Mrs.
Smith for Mrs. Elliott, the amount of
the stove sale would be turned over.
The row followed immediately and
from a battle of worlds turned into
one of violence.
The husbands of both women re

are on friendly terms. Both hus
bands are employed in the woods.
Mrs. Smith, the accused In the case,

CUT PIPE LINE
SHUTTING OFF
New owners on the place where
the Rivervlcw school children get
their drinking water have broken
the pipe line which leads from the
spring to the schoolhouse and have
refused to allow district officials to
repair the pipe or clean out the
spring, says a complaint filed In cir
cuit court by School District No.
138 of Marlon county against Apkar
Minasian, Kasner Minasian, and
Mary Azadian. The district asks for
a recognition of their water right
received by contract with previous
owners of the farm on which the
spring in question is located, a guar
antee from the court of the pro
tection of the rights, and costs of
the action.
According to the complaint by the
school district, which Is a district of
the third class and maintains the
Riverview school on the river road
below Roberts station on the O. E.,
the district secured from George E.
Colby, the former owner, on Feb
ruary 21, 1923, a 99 year lease on the
spring on the Colby place and a
right to run a pipe line across the
property to the school grounds. The
sum of $35 was paid for the right.
On October 22, 1924, Colby and
his wife sold the property to Apkar
Minasian with the understanding
and recognition of the school dis
trict's right to the spring water. In
May this year Minasian conveyed
one half Interest in his property to
Kasper Minasian and Mary Azadi
an, and the three of them are de
fendants In the cause brought by
the school district.
The complaint says that the two
Mlnasians snd Mary Azadian malic
iously and deliberately destroyed the
pipe line leading from the spring
and that they have refused to re
pair it or to allow any of the dis
trict officials access to their nron-
erty so that repairs could be made
The children In the school are not
getting pure drinking water as the
result, says the complaint Besides
a guarantee of the rights of the
school district, the complaint asks
for $50 damages from each of the
defendants.

counsel endeavored today In the Dis

disprove the contention of the de
fense that the compelling motive of '
Albert B. Fall In leasing Teapt Dome
to Harry F. Sinclair was the danger
of drainage by adjacent oil wells.
George Otis Smith, director of the

the latter part of October, 1921, six
months before the lease was execut

interior, he sent a competent geolo
gist to Teapot Dome who reported
that the situation as to possible
drainage had been unchanged since
the date of the executive order
establishing the Wyoming naval oil
reserve.
At the outset of the criminal con

Wisconsin concerning the naval reserves.-
Fall's letter was dated April 12,

CAROL ASKED
TO RETURN AND

Paris, Oct. 21. W) L'Ouvre,
French radical newspaper today says
that delegates of the National
Peasant party of Rumania have ne
gotiated with former Crown Prince
Carol for his return to Rumania and
his assumption of the throne next
spring.
The possibility of Carol's return,
however, is not regarded seriously tn
competent quarters here as the latest
reliable advices from Bucharest say
that by general consent the Carol
1st movement is nonexistent In Ru
mania. The leaders of the peasant
party are said to frankly admit that
they are not working for the former
crown prince's return as such activity
is unnecessary since what they term
the maladministration of Premier
Bratiano will eventually bring about
Carol's return. Therefore the peas
ant leaders are quoted as declaring
they are quite content to let things
work themselves out.

Henry Barbe, foreign editor of the
