OP) An advance of two cenU per dozen In fresh pullet eggs, ellecuve Tuesday morning, was announced Monday by Manager Dlion of the Pacific Poultry Pro ducers. The advance was caused Dy the scarcity of offerings. The new fobbing price will be 30 cents with sales to retailers 33 cents per dozen. Portland, Ore. (LP Market for butter is ruling weak and every effort of the produce exchange to hide the facts appears wasted Country Interests continue to of fer butter freely at prUws below what Is being quoted. Owing to the scarcity of offer ings of fresh pullet stock an ad vance in such egg offerings is due here. The former pullet stock is now going into the mediums and n better supply of the latter is shown. Efforts of certain big private In terests to advance mediums is due to their late importations from other states. This does away with the talk that Portland Is lowest. Much better trading trend is shown In the live poultry market even though some interests are try ing to hide the facts while they stock up with low priced stock As high as 18 cents Is being of fered for light hens and 20 cents for mediums with heavy stuff 26 to 27 cents pound. That the potato grades of Ore gon will be rigidly enforced Is the statement of Henry N. Toube, state Inspector, who has so noU'ied the trade. Arrests of violators will be made soon. Despite the propaganda of conflicting interests that Wash ington combination grade will be allowed on sale as such, the In spector officially says that com bination will go Into No. two grade, where It belongs. Market for potatoes continues strong both at primary and con suming points of the northwest More Klamath stock Is arriving and the demand for Deschutes potatoes Is in excess of supply. There Is much talk In the trade of combination of three wholesale fruit and produce housns. This combination has been talked of for many months. Some claim the deal Is closed except for the ac tual signatures of the firms. It Is understood that two homes will be closed here and branch houses es tablished In the country. According to reports the demand for carload lots of celery Is tin proving at other points. An in creased movement from this terri tory is reported at prices no lower than $2.25 crate. Some markets prefer the small stuff, others want the large. Country killed veal weaker. Hogs firmer. Lambs conti:e weak lor coun try killed. Market for hothouse tomatoes Is lower. Cucumber trade very slow also. Carload Texas grapefruit due here Within few days. Cauliflower market Is slightly better for shipment. General sales 80 to 00 cents crate, f. o. b. cars.

THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM, OREGON MOVEMENT OF APPLES FASTER ONIONSSLOWER Portland Caxlot shipment of Oregon producing districts during fresh fruits and vegetables from the put week totaled 499 cars, or 137 cars more than the preceding week's total. Itemized, the shipments by commodities are: Apples 233 cars, onions 24, cauliflower 28, pears 126, potatoes 45, celery 39 and mixed vegetables 4 cars, as reported by J. D. Hamilton, local representative of the bureau of agricultural econom ics. The most outstanding increases are noted In apples, of which only 138 cars moved during the previous week, potatoes, with a 50 per cent increase, and cauliflower, of which only 9 cars were loaded during the previous seven day period, onions, pears and celery showed appreciable variation. Of Oregon's potatoes, onions, cau liflower and celery, most of the crops are still unshipped. The on ion harvest has been completed for some time, but unsatisfactory east ern markets are confining Oregon s distribution to Pacific coast points. On the coast, competition from Yakima, Idaho and Colorado onions are limiting the demand for Oregon stock. The celery market was also dull, and shipments re being held back as long as possible, awaiting im provement in eastern demand. Cel ery loadings are expected to increase however, as the stock Is showing considerably Increased maturity and cannot be held Indefinitely. The potato market has been ac tive throughout the entire country and Klamath Falls and the Des chutes district both loaded freely at prices slightly higher than Yakima was realizing lor the same varieties. CLEMENCEAU IN SHADOW OF DEATH (Continued from page t) "The time hasn't come yet." Then turning his head toward his daughter, grandson and several others who had assembled around his bed-side, he added, with a feeble smile, "You can all go to bod now." Dr. Laubry gave a United Precs correspondent the following anal ysis of the Tiger's condition: "It was a .heart attack and there fore most critical. M. Clemcnceau was warned several times this sum mer to slacken his work of writing his memoirs but characteristically he refused. It is impossible to pre dict the outcome, but he is momen tarily resting easier following In jections of oxygen but he Is 88 years old, and his heart can not be ex pected to stand such a strain very long." Dr. Laubry said that if it had not been for oxygen injections. Clemenceau would have died. At 6:30 a. m. after he had only a few fitful spells of sleep, Clem enceau awoke, grumbling because of his inability to get out of bed and walk. HU grandson, Rene Jacquemalre, who is also a physi cian and who passed the whole night at Clemenccau's bed. suc ceeded in persuading him that he nnist not attempt to move. when Jacquemalre spoke of the possible necessity of another oxygen injection, Clemenceau replied with a grunt. "You faker." An hour later the flighting spirit of the Tiger would tolerate no op position. He insisted upon washing his hands and face and being al lowed to sit up In his favorite lounge chair. "I'm not going to be treated like a baby," he muttered with a scowl. Battling as never before. Clem enceau showed signs of being able to conquer the heart attack which was complicated later in the morn ing by a slight nulomonarv con gestion. After being transferred to a chair, he was forbidden to return to his bed particularly lna"much as he seemed unable to lie flat on his back without choking. Me tried to eat a customary breakfast of soup but any attempt to consume food brought renewed pain and strangling sensations. Be- iore tne morning was over, he had In all eleven Injections of oxygen. He was also given treatment to re lieve his lung congestion. Dr. Laubry visited the sick man twice during the course of the morn ing. Alter his second visit, Laubry. who had been rather pessimistic earlier In the morning, expressed some satisfaction with the Tiger's resistance. "He Is holding up." said Laubrv to the United Press correspondent, "but he must be constantly watch ed. Another attack can occur mo mentarily or possible not for daj He is very tired and he needs a rest."

Grea t Flying Craft Carries 169 Persons In Flight of One Hour iu,.,u. c;,..u.,ri,,rll (p The hutre 12 eneined flying boat Do-X, which was launched here last July, made an amazing one-hour flight Monday with a human load of 189, the first time In the history of aviation that so many persons nave been carried into the air on any conveyance. The giant Rornier plane took off at 11:15 a. m. and landed Just one hour later. The machine flew over Lake Constance, her motors work in faultlessly, and landed with her 51 ton load at 12:15 p. m. without a hitch. The DO-X carried 159 passengers and a crew of ten. She nao maae previous test flights but this was the taken up. The flving boat, which may be first time that so great a load was used for a trans-Atlantic crossing for the purpose of trying out her capacities, was built in the greatest secrecy. She was designed to carry forty passengers normally but nas accommodation for 100 if necessary. Her twelve engines can develop a total of 6000 horsepower and each engine can be treated Individually without affecting Its neighbors. The DO-X measures 150 feet from tip to tail. Its wings are 10 feet thick and 150 feet from wing tip to wing tip. Six great turrets project from each wing and each turret Is equipped with two engines of 500 horsepower. The turrets are manned by mechanics who can walk along a passage on the Inside of the wings from one turret to another. When the DO-X was launched last July, she carried 34 tons of weight and was able to get into the air with the greatest ease after a take-off run of only 500 yards, other trials being similarly successful. One of the features of the plane is her three decks while another is that the machine can fly with only eight motors in use. Dr. Dornier built the plant at Al- tenrheln which Is on the Swiss side of the German-Swiss frontier be cause of the limitations on German aircraft Imposed by the treaty of Versailles. While the ship was being built there were many skeptics who main tained that It would never fly owing to its enormous weight. Aviation ex perts, however, were enthusiastic about her ability to take the air.. TRACE LEAKS ON TARIFF TO LOBBY (Continued from page 1) tostatic copy ot the memorandum said he did not remember It. "Do you suppose Walsh asked. "that Mr. Wuichet, a subordinate of yours, had such faniliarity with the majority members of the finanoe committee as to obtain this Infor mation?" No, sir." Eyaneon replied. I suppose we will have to ask Mr .Wuichet about It," Walsh ob served. E. Kent Hubbard, president of the association, testified that he received $10,000 salary and $5,000 for traveling expenses. He listed the New York, New Haven Sc Hart ford railroad and the Scovllle Manufacturing- company of Waterbury as probably the largest contributors to the association. Caraway Inquired how much the railroad contributed and Hubbard estimated It at $3,000 or $4,000 a year. The association has a reserve fund of about $40,000, he added. The witness Insisted that this year was the first time the organi zation had been Interested In tariff legislation, and said this was due to the request of Bingham for a man to assist him. It apparently was understood to the members of your association that your representative was to be paid his expenses while with Sen ator Bingham," observed Walsh. 'It was Just understood that we would pay his salary and expenses white In Washington with Senator Bingham," Hubbard replied. Walsh asked about the circum stances of sending Eyanson to Washington. 'I told him to come down here and do what Senator Bingham or dered him to do.' Walsh then picked up a letter from Hubbard to Eyanson. He read: "I want you to prepare the way with Senator Bingham" about Eyaivons Job. What did you want?" asked Walsh. "Was Eyanson to be a sort of Saint John the Baptist?" Hubbard insisted he wanted Ey anson to open arrangement with Bingham for Jits return. ' I didn t want senator Bingnam to be surprised when I told him I wanted Eyanson back at once.' Walsh read further from Hubbard's letter that "you have done great deal more than we ever bargained for tn the beginning." 'Exactly." explained Hubbard. "He had stayed here much longer than we bargained for." ACCIDENT INVOLVES TWO WOMEN DRIVERS Indopendence Two Ford cars collided at the intersection of Mon mouth avenue and Second street.

Lynn Gub'er be gan delivering Ills crop of dried prunes to H. S. Gile at Newberg Thursday. LIGHT DEMAND FOR AMERICAN PRUNES ABROAD The 1929 dried prune export sur plus of Yugoslavia Is now placed at 19.800 short tons, according to a cable of the Bureau of Agricultural Economics from O. L. Dawson, act ing American Agricultural Commis sioner at Berlin, the California Fruit News says. Heavy deliveries at the beginning of the season caus ed a temporary decline In prices but they have Increased again re cently. Transactions to date, how ever, have been small. Exceptionally favorable weather during the ripening and drying pe riods In the French, Prune d'Ente district, has raised the prospects for the 1929 crop from .the orginal estimate of 4,500 short tons to present estimate of 5,500 short tons, according to Consul Lucien Mem minger at Bordeaux. There was no rain and very little wind during August and as a result very few plums dropped from the trees. Moreover, the sugar content of the fruit Is high and water content light and a large percentage of large- sized prunes has been obtained In drying. Harvesting and drying op erations were completed at an early date this year because of the favor able, weather conditions. All of the crop has now been harvested and a considerable proportion has been sold in regional markets. An au thority has stated that the 1929 crop will yield an average of 60-70s per half kilo (1.1 pounds) as against 80-90 during recent years. The mar. ket for new crop fruit is said to be very firm for small sizes but quiet for the large sizes. The French importers of Ameri can prunes are looking for., a de crease in imports from the United States this year since California prices are high and the French crop is larger than last year. It is ex pected that the domestic consump tion of prunes in France will be somewhat reduced during the 1929 1930 season because of the large fresh fruit crops this year, especial ly of apples, which can be carried over during the winter months. In addition some stocks of the 1928 California crop are still on hand In France, Very little interest is, there fore, being displayed for new crop American prunes.

INSURGENTS PLAN TO HOG-TIE MAYOR (Continued from page 1) proceed as his judgment and busi ness experience aiciaies. And that constitutes the bone of contention. The insurgents, their ears tuned to the cries of the calamity howlers and obstructionists against all ex penditures of public funds, are de termined that they and their poli cies shall rule the municipal roost. To so rule they realize that they must control the committees of the council, and they now propose to have all committees named by a committee on committees which, presumably, would be made up of members elected by the council. It is indicated that a resolution to ac complish such an amendment of the rules will be introduced at me Mon day evening meeting. To thus amend the rules it is nec essary that notice of such and in tention be filed not less than wo weeks prior to the meeting at which the amendment is considered, which if the resolution Is introduced at this meeting will permit of a final vote on the amendment at the first session of the council in November. Success of the insurgents in pass ing the amendment will hinge upon the faithfulness of the mayors sup porters to attend council meetings in the future. With a full member ship present the insurgents realize that they lack the required two- thirds majority to amend the rules, which provide that amendments may be made only with the approval of two-thirds of the members pres ent. At a full meeting of the council it requires the votes of 10 of the 14 aldermen to pass an amendment and five of the councilmen are listed standpatters with the mayor and his policies. The insurgents make no bones oz admitting that they pin their hopes of passing the amendment upon the expected absence of Alderman Haw kins, whose business keeps him In Portland much of the time and who has already missec several meetings of the council. With Hawkins ab sent and the rest of the members present the insurgents would have the required two-thirds majority. Through Hawkins the bolsheviks also plan to gain complete control of the council in still another poli tical maneuver. The charter provides that when any member of the council is absent from four consecutive meetings of the council his office may be de clared vacant by a majority vote of the aldermen and a successor elect ed. Such a lapse in attendance on the part of Hawkins Is to be fol lowed by vacation of his office, and the insurgents with their simple ma jority will pick and name his suc cessor. Ousting of Hawkins would leave the mayor completely at the mercy of the bolsheviks and deprive him of tne support which la now sufficient to sustain his vetoes on measures having to do with matters of policy. A check of the attendance records of the aldermen reveals that Hawkins Is not in danger of being unseated if he shows up at this meeting. CAPTAIN 8PONG GUEST Lincoln Captain J. M.
