PAGE FOURTEEN THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM, OREGON THURSDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1929 BUTTER. EGGS STEADY; HOGS ; SHOW FIRMER Portland, Ore. TIP) There wm no change In the butter quotation dur ing the late session of the produce exchange. , The failure ol the market report ing service of the government to quote its prlcee on eggs obtained by the poultry producers which does most o the business here Is causing much adverse comment In regard to the so-called official prices. Mar ket In general Is unchanged. Considerable depression Is shown In light weight hens and heavy broilers in the local live poultry trade. Lower prices are again shown. Quality of the lightweight hens Is usually very poor. Heavy bens In demand. , , Very good call Is showing lor country killed hogs in the local trade with prices practically at the late extreme mark for quality light blockers. Heavy stuff Is In fair de mand. Practically no change Is shown in the market for country killed calves here. Receipts are moderate and sales continue aroue 20 to 21 cent pound for top light quality offer ings Lambs remain slow. Beef is a trifle dua ' Higher prices are being named by California shlnners for Brussel sprouts and artichokes. This Is In line with the normal activities In the south when demand becomes more general In those lines. Market for potatoes here Is show ing a generally steady tone. The local trade Is by no means absorb ing the extreme strength Indicated by the asking prices ot Yakima In terests and much of the strength there Is believed to be a bluff. Slight Increase of cranberry sales reported although the Increasing supply from northwestern bogs keeps the price from changing, Shipping demand Is better, quality continues to gain. New crop walnut -sales slowly gaining. Grape sales are increasing, es . peclally the wine varieties. Good cantaloupes are very scarce and prices firm. Southern Oregon Salway peach e reported moving well, priced up to 11.25 for large stuff. Tomato market continues to gain strength with decreased offering of quality. Italian broccoli is finding favor at a nickel a pound. General cauliflower market Is very sluggish with prices low. Celery prices low for shipping but demand is good. Just why some wholesalers are ask ing more for Puget Sound lettuce when the best locals are even finer is a big mystery in the trade. Cabbage market Is firm both for local and shipping demand. LOWER BASIS OF CRUISER TONNAGE (Continued from page 1) ought by President Hoover. The prime minister and Miss Jshbel left Washington Thursday, having built up tremendous stores of good will against the time when Inevitable controversies may test the patience and forbearance of the two countries. President Hoover and the prime minister Issued a Joint statement de claring the danger of war and naval rivalry had been banished they hoped forever. MI have achieved more than I hoped," said the prime minister aft er his farewells Wednesday night. "In view of the security afforded by the peace pact," said the Hoover MaeDonald Joint statement, 'w have been able to end, we trust for ever, all competitive building be tween ourselves with the risk of war and the waste of public money Involved, by agreeing to a parity of Xleets, category by category. "Success at the coming conference will result In a large decrease In the naval equipment of the world, and what Is equally Important, the re ductlon of prospect programs of con struction which would otherwise produce competitive building to an indefinite amount. "We hope and believe that the steps we have taken will be warmly welcomed by the people whom we represent as a substantial contribu- tlon to the efforts universally made by all nations to gain security for peace not by military organization -but by peaceful means rooted In public opinion and enforced oy tense of Justice In the civilised world." The statement explained the con versations have been guided by a double hope of settling naval differ ences and aiding the general peace of the world. 'Our conversations have been largely confined to the mutual rela tions of the two countries In the light of the situation created by the signing fo the peace pact," the Statement continued. "Therefore, In a new and reinforced sense the two governments not only declare that war between them is unthinkable, but that distrusts and suspicions arising from doubts and fears which may have been Justified before the peace pact must now cease to influ ence national policy. We approach old historical problems from a new angle and In a new atmosphere. On tre assumption that war between us Is banished, and that conflicts be tween our military or naval forces can not take place, these problems have changed their meaning and Character and their solution in ways satisfactory to both countries, with in reach." the statement of other problems left Observers here saw In mention by to be worked out In technical detail Passible references to freedom of the seas, the troublesome debts and the questions arising from the pending tariff bin provisions. President Hoover, Premier Mac Donald and Secretary of State Unison have Issued statements since the con versa Uoas have been going on here that these problems Mve not been oiscussea in owuui.

Paternity of the most tragic vic tim of the cult, yet unearthed, WiUa Rhoads, 19, whose body was found under a Venice, Cal, cotage, was established- through investigation which led to Klamath Falls, Ore. Mr. and Mrs, W. P. Rhoads, who adopted WUla when she was two years old and before they moved to Merrill, Ore., to Portland, were as serted to have participated in an other wierd burial, that of a 9 year old son of their own. Ward Blackburn and his seeress wife are also step-sister and step brother. . Los Angeles (P) That at least four other members of the Divine Order of the Royal Arm of the Great Eleven, like 16-year-old Wllla Rhoads whose body was found In a shallow grave beneath the home of her foster parents last Sunday, may have died and been buried privately, was the belief of officers who Thursday continued their search for mysteriously absent per sons. Among the missing cult mem bers for whom the police are con ducting a search In the mountain areas of Los Angeles and Ventura counties are Mrs. Frances Turner, Mrs. Katherlne Bolz, Mrs. Har- lene 8artorls and Mrs. Addle Mc Ouflin. Another woman, Mrs. Floyd Miller, also Is being sought by police at the request of her mother, Mrs. Mary Fa 1st of Portland, Ore. Mrs. Faist said her daughter came to Los Angeles with her husband about four years ago and was last heard from as Joining the cult. Mil ler, who la said to be hi Los An geles, Is known by Investigators as a member of the strange religious sect. Officers were Investigating fur ther a startling story told to De tective Lieutenant Frank Condaf fer of the police homicide squad by Arthur and Minnie Toy, members of the cult, of a ritualistic cere mony wherein Mrs. Turner, one of the missing women, was placed In an oven filled with hot bricks. A woman of the same name was bur led in Ventura nearly two years ago, and alleged dlscrepencles In her death clrtiflcate are being checked. Mr. and Mrs. Toy, Condaffer re ported, said they were present when Mrs. Turner was placed in a epec ially constructed brick oven In the home of "Grandma" Jennie Black burn, mother of Mrs. May Otis Blackburn, cult leader now In Jail on fraud charges. They said Mrs. Turner was kept In the oven all day, and that no one In the- cult ever saw her alive again. They as serted that she had been buried near the "Golden Throne Temple" In the cult's colony In Santa Su sana mountains. Police also were searching for a coffin-like box which William Rhoads, foster father of Wllla, said he burled near Big Bear lake In the San Bernardino mountains. Rhoads said he burled the box, the contents of which he had not seen, four months ago at his wife's com mand. Rhoads also told police that he had burled his stepdaughter's body under their house on orders from his wife. EXPLOSIVES USED TO SNUFF OUT FIRE (Continued from pAgc 1) high In the sky for more than two days. Clad In m heavy asbestos suit, he will drag 300 quarts of nitroglycerine almost to the mouth ot the well. There he will place It so that the force of the explosion will be di rected at the base of the flame, and then scurry away from the boiling heat. When he Is safely out of range the charge of explosive will be fired. The force ot the explosion Is ex pected to hurl the flame above the gas pouring from the hole. A heavy blanket of steam, played from the battery of boilers onto the mouth of the well. Is expected to retard the flow of gas until the flame has burned out. With th fire extinguished the gas will be allowed to run wild while debris, which could not be removed before the explosion, la dragged from the welt Then a new derrick will be erected in place of the twisted, white hot steel skeleton which waa o rag ged away piece by piece Wednesday, and efforts will be directed toward confining the flow. . . Oklahoma City, Okla. (At A high explosive charge set off by M. M. Klnley, gas firefighting expert, from Tulsa, snuffed out the blase of the Sinclair Oil and Oas com pany. No. 3 stamper well in the South Oklahoma City oil field Thursday. Te well, a 50,000,000 foot gasser had shot a 150 foot torcn In the air since Tuesday. PUZZLED BY BLACKBERRIES TURNING RED Evergreen blackberries that are not blackberries but are red berries have made their appearance In Mar lon eountv and the county fruit In spector, 8. H. Van Trump, has re cruited the aid of state painoiogisia and entlmologists. to assist him In solving the mystery. A samDle of the red blackberries from the George Miller berry farm in the Fairfield district was sent by Van Trump to Prof. Bams at O. A. O. Thursday morning. Van Trump says that nematodes may possibly have caused the Ireak development, but he says frankly that he does not know how to account for the queer development on the Miller place and in several other places In the county. Miller has 11 acres of evergreens In excellent soil near Fairfield. In the middle of this field, where the soil is the very best and where all factors should lead to the growth the best berries in the entire yard, there are 16 distinct rows of bushes where the berries grow to full size but remain red and hard. In these 16 rows not a single ripe berry has developed. Right next to these 16 rows the berries develop and ripen as usual. This is the first year that the unusual occurrence has been noted. Reports of bushes where the ber ries do not ripen have also been re ceived from the Sllverton district. OIL FIELD SINKS CAUSING LAKE (Continued from page 1) were here Thursday to study the muddy lake, which lapped the very border of the producing field. Theories as to the cause of - the phenomenon - were as different as they were numerous but the con census is that drainage of the Im mense pool of oil beneath the sur face left a cavity which the sinking crust is filling.

LIVERPOOL DROP SENDS CHICAGO WHEAT LOWER Chicago Of) Liverpool's drop from a strong opening to a weak close and the easiness shown In Buenos Aires late trading, caused a sharp falling off In prices In the Chicago wheat pit Thursday. Ex port business was small proportions and Europe was reported to be well supplied with wheat for its Immed iate needs. Commission bouses sold on the large North American sup plies. Corn was lower on the gov ernment s bearish report, and oats followed corn. ' , At the close wheat waa IK cents to 1H cents- lower; corn was off 1 to 1H cents and oats was cent lower. Provisions were con siderably lower. Chicago (AV-Notwithstanding In itial upturns In wheat prices Thurs day, wheat soon declined, largely as a result of sympathy with corn market weakness.

GOLD FROM LEAD SUSPECTED FRAUD (Continued from page 1) Jail for having defrauded numerous high personages. Including General Ludendorff, of $100,000 on alchemy schemes, would have to repeat his feat under much stricter control If he were to satisfy the doubting Thomases. He was searched care fully and watched closely prior to and during hjs test Wednesday. ' In previous experiments two methods were used to obtain gold. The first waa with a "tincture of tinctures' which consisted of lead chloride and calcium hydroxide smelted with potassium and sodium In addition to quicksilver. In the second method he used potassium hydroxide, rock flint and ferric ox ide. He succeeded repeatedly in pro ducing pure gold of from five to 30 grams, the cost of production ot the alleged synthetic gold being about $5 per kilogram against a nominal value of about $700 per kilogram. Prof. Otto Hoenlngschmld of the University of Munich who is an au thority on chemistry was quoted Thursday as expressing the opinion that Tausends gold making was a great swindle and that the gold must have been put In the lead be fore Its extraction. TELLURIDE BANKER GIVENJ5 YEARS (Continued from pace 1) ing was at hand." He had been expected to plead emotional Insanity and a committee of alienists from both government and defense had examined him. It was believed the sudden change In plea waa taken as a result of the alienists verdict. They held Che banker to be' normal in all respects and "super-normal" in intelligence. Apparently Waggoner had rested his entire case on the contention ot insanity. The Indictment to which Wag goner pleaded guilty contained six counts, each charging use ot the united States malls to defraud. Whether the New York banks will ever recover their money still Is considered doubtful. Certainly months and perhaps even years ot litigation will be necessary. SENTIMENT A FACTOR IN GOLD MOVEMENTS New York CP) International bankers are having to reckon sentiment as a factor of IncreatvJng lmportance in cold morements. Inflexible econimle laws are sup posed to rovera shipments of cold from one country to another. But national sentiment In England at the present time. Is believed to be exerting considerable pressure on private owners of gold to check the flow of metal to Paris and New York, MILLIONS SET ASIDE, STRAIGHTEN TRACKS Austin, Tex.
