"A(JK TEN THR CAPITAL JOURNAL SI.KM. ORWION THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 28, 1929 PRUNE MARKET WEAKER AFTER SLIGHT SPURT The prune market is showing weak a?ain after a brief spurt send ing prices up a half a cent awhile back, but they have relapsed around to A cents on 30s and 8 to 8i on 40s and 25-pound boxes. Indications are that there mas considerable trading during the boom days in prune buying on a speculative bails and It Is being reflected more or less In conditions now. While a great many prunes have been shipped out for export the warehouses are still Jammed with them. However, conditions as far as the prune crop Itself Is con cerned ha!n t changed much since earlier In the game aside from a considerably heavier pack in Ore gon than was first expected. It Is believed the market will clean up In good shape and heavier trading with some firmer tone to the market Is expected a little later. Aside from possible speculative buying earlier In the season, the reactions on the stock market It Is believed undoubtedly had a material affect In weakening the prune situation and running quite a bit of money to cover that otherwise would have been dabbling in prunes at this time.

JAPAN READY TO AGREE IS LATE REPORT Toklo (IP) Japan was understood to be ready Thursday to agree to the reported American plan for set tlement of the Chinese -Russian con flict in Manchuria. The foreign office closely guarded the contents of a communication from Ambassador Debuchl In Wash ington which was assumed to out line the plan of Secretary Stimson for settlement. It was learned that the American embassy charge d' affaires visited Baron Kljuro Shide hara at the foreign office Wednes day night and delivered a state de partment cable which had been de coded at the embassy in the after noon. Reports of direct negotiations for settlement of the conflict between Russia and the Mukden government were not confirmed at the Japanese foreign office. Reports that the Chi nese national government had a&k- ed Washington and Berlin to use their good offices for settlement also lacked confirmation. It was understood here that the Chinese ministers to Washington and Berlin had been Instructed to keep in touch with Secretary Stim son and Foreign Minister Curtis, on the developments in Manchuria. Communication between Harbin and Manchuli has been severed but It was believed the Russians later withdrew Into their own terri tory. Chine.se forces however, ap parently had not re-occupied the evacuated territory, retaining their forces in the Khingan mountains which run parallel to the border be tween Manchuri and Harbin.

Down in the hospital office, In an envclcye marked with her name, was Mrs. Macdonald's last dollar. She had jet out to spend it on something to eat so her holiday, alone and friendless at 65, would not seem so barren. At a street Intersection a truck knocked her to the pavement.

"We can't under stand wh yyou stay there among strangers instead of coming here with us." BIG BEAR OFFERED AS PAYMENT ON CAR Cedar Rapids.

A lttU, Mltit Ommt I mi htrdMtm, AttutmU TtOTEL TAYLOR AT OTAflltEU. Son Francisco O'Leary Case Recalls Absconders Of Past ' Years To Officials The late getaway of Richard O'Leary. Salem restaurant owner, who went out of here overnight leaving behind a lot of bills, but not the furnishings of his well dolled up restau rant sei Bnerm Bower on into a reminiscent mood the other day. "The community was all shaken up back la 1914 over another dis appearance that old timers still talk of in the hot stove league" re marked the sheriff. "Mention of the name of A. B. Cook will always bring up a few stories. A. B. Cook was a tall, rather handsome chap, who wore a wide brimmed l.at, went Into the real estate business here and Ingratiated himself with a lot of people. "In 1914 Memorial day happened to come on a Saturday. On Friday afternoon Mr. Cook and his wife stoked up the fires In their home and Cook went around town cash ing checks. At 2 o'clock the Cook family, with their trunks and $1200 In money of Salem merchants, left Salem on an Oregon Electric train. Some time during the ensuing Mon day their absence was discovered and merchant after merchant ap peared each carrying a worthless check. Bill Esch was sheriff at the time and the trail was followed for while. The trunks had been checked at Portland, rechecked to some little town in Washington, rechecked from there to Spokane. While telegraphic advices went to Spokane In plenty of time, in some manner the trunks were secured and the fugitives slipped through the net. They were next heard of In Chicago. Cook went out of here under the name of Ed Bird and kept that name in Chicago, hut he next showed up in Brooklyn under the name of A. B. Cunning ham and there he was apprehended aoout a year later. On March 9. 1915, he was sent to prison for from one to five years, got out some time later . and I understand Is now living in the east. "Cook expressed himself as glad to get back and pleaded guilty. He said that his conscience had made it so hot for him he believed he would have come back voluntarily soon If the officers hadn't beaten his conscience to it by a few jumps. This was a fine piece of work on Sheriff EecIi's part and while the scent was lost a time or two, his nose was on the trail from the time Cook left." The records show that the mer chants who cashed Cook's checks were F. E. Light, Shaw Brothers. George C. Will, Patterson Pool room, Josse & Moore furniture dealers, the Toggery. Daue & Sons, Kraft shop, Roy Mclson and J. a. Smith, Jeweler. Not many of them are still in business here. Another famous getaway, while not happening here, was watched with interest in Salem because of the fact that the fugitive was almost as well known as in his home town of Oreeon City.

Railroad president, law yer, banker, adviser to widows, or phans and business men, for years he had built up a reputation In the valley for probity as well as ability and when he disappeared taking with him funds of other people variously estimated from (40,000 to $150,000, the whole valley jang with the story. He Is still at large. Var ious reports have been heard that he had been seen in Canada, Ger many, Russia and China. But wherever he is, if he ever spies an Oregonian it is certain Mr. Dimick gets up and goes away. "More recently the ' S c o 1 1 y ' Speight mystery has caused us some trouble," says the sheriff. "The facts in that case are too modern to recount. However, from reports he is bobbing around here and there and It would be interesting to know Just where he is. "In their time the chases after Richard Brumfield, Roseburg den tist murderer. Banker Bergman of Florence, who ran away with funds of the bank as well as a female em ploye, all caused Interest in Salem. "It may be some of the boys can stay away for a time. Some of them never get caught." said the sheriff. "But if they don't get caught they are Just like A. B. Cook and that can be banked on what conscience they have left is troubl ing them and they wish against wish they were back. It's a hard life this running away from some thing. It should be thought of very seriously before anyone at tempts it."

ON SATURDAYS CONTRACTS FOR BIG TONNAGE OF CARROTS LOOMS Carrot contracts for several hun dred tons, preferably on Irrigated lands are contemplated by the Pau lus brothers cannery for next year, Robert C. Paulus stated Thursday. The dry season this year resulting in short deliveries on contracts and causing a scurrying around to pick up carrot deliveries from as far away as 75 miles has caused the company to eye the irrigated section as a possible safeguard against shortage fbr next year. This year the Paulus pack of car rots will continue to run up to Christmas, deliveries still coming in from as far away as the Colum bia river bottoms and the Sherwood and Tualatin sections. Lake Labish country produced wonderful car rots this year with C. E. Mclhvain as a sample, sending In 32 tons oft three-quarters of an acre of ground. The price paid on the Paulus de liveries averaged $9.50 a ton this year, with early deliveries at $9 a ton and the later ones at $10. The eastern carrot crop was short this year and the demand accele rated as the season progressed. Carrots are packed in different manner. All of them are blanched as they come in and then some arc run through a quartering machine. cut into quarters and the women cut out the eyes and defective places. Others are cut into slices like dol lars and packed in that manner, while still others, the bulk of the pack are diced, or cut into cubes by a dicing machine. All the carrots are cooked and the women pack them into the cans. They are used largely for soups and salads. The Paulus cannery is also still running on beets, expecting to put up around 6000 or 7000 cases this year. Some of the beets coming out of the Labish country this year are considered among the finest ever raised on the coast.
