TELLS OF MEDAL
WON BY HORSE
IN GREEK WAR
A quiet, unassuming professor
cf foreign languages at Willamette
university in the role of a dashing
cavalryman winning a valor medal
from King Conslantine of Greece
in a campaign against the Turks
at-the close of the World War was
portrayed before the Kiwanis club
Tuesday noon in the course of a
talk by Prof. A. A. Vazakos, the
prufessor in question.
Prof. Vazakos had been telling of
several unpleasant episodes in his
life In which the Turk featured a
leading role when he commented
upon his enlistment in the cavalry
and his last contact with his old
"friends."
The regiment had a peculiar
gaited horse and none of the sol
diers were able to ride the animal.
Finally his turn came to mount and
after considerable difficulty with
the animal, the beast took the bit
In his teeth and dashed across a
river into Turkish territory. Prof.
Zazakos remembered nothing of
the subsequent happenings and re
covered consciousness and from
his wounds some time later. The
medal, he said, he hung around
the neck of the horse who really
deserved credit for the attack.
Civilization was traced to the
early Greeks and Hebrews by the
speaker, representing culture and
religion, uniting at the time of
Christ. Later both streams of civ
ilization became submerged for
centuries, with the Turk responsible
for a revival when he drove the
scclars with their manuscripts from
the monasteries, the pilgroms seek
ing sanctuary throughout Europe.
One outstanding characteristic of
the American people commented
upon by Prof. Vazakcs was the
ability and willingness to speak in
publis at any and all oceasions.
MILLER LOSES
WOODBURN SUIT
Circuit Judge McMahan Tuesday
handed down a decision lor the city
oi Woodburn in the suit brought
against it by N. Miller and also dis
missed the case. It was announced
by W. C. Winslow, attorney for Mil
ler, that an appeal would be taken
at once.
Miller, who owns 220 acres of land
outside of Woodburn through which
flows Perrier creek into which the
city of Woodburn dumps Its sewage,
a few years ago brought a damage
action against Woodburn asking over
$20,000 for damage done to about 40
acres of beaver dam land, which is
included on his place and which he
values at $1000 an acre. A jury in
circuit court found for the city in
that case. It was appealed and the
supreme court reversed the verdict.
Miller started a new action in
equity asking that the city be en
Joined from dumping Its sewage Into
Ferrier creek, or for an order re
quiring condemnation of the lands
affected. This is the suit dismissed
by McMahan. Nominal damages
were also sought in this action to be
assessed by the court in equity.
CASE OF DIPHTHERIA
IN LIBERTY DISTRICT
The first case of diphtheria to be
connected this year with an stu
dent in a Salem school developed
over the Thanksgiving holiday with
the result that a young girl, stu
dent at the Salem high school, is
ill with a moderately severe case
of dtptheria in her home in the
Liberty district. an"d that her fam
ily, with six children of school
age, are quarantined. Dr. Vernon
A. Douglas, county health officer,
is following up all contacts, which
were very few because of the holi
day vacation.
Two of the children In the fam
ily had already received toxin-anti-toxin
injections, and the
others in the group are receiving
like administrations from the phy
sician in charge of the case.
Every effort is being made to de
termine where the young gin came
in contact with the contagious di
sease, and especially if a diphtheria
carrier exists in the high school, or
if contact with the disease came
through another student. The sit
uation shjtild not cause anxiety,
according to reassurances by Dr.
Douglas, for every precaution is
being taken.
The dishtherla record so far this
vear has been exceptionally fine,
due to health education and to the
toxin nnti-toxin clinics for school
and pre-jchcol children which have
been conducted throughout the
country r.ince the first of the school
year by the Marion county child
health demonstration staff.

MURDERS MAN,
SHOOTS WOMAN
AND HIMSELF
Shreveport, La. ( Having kill
ed Marmaduke 'Ward, merchant,
and wounded Miss Iva Mae Miller,
guest at a licner party at the Ward
residence Monday night, Vernis
Morgan, an attorney, clings to life
with two self-inflected bullet wounds
in his right temple.
Morgan forced his way into the
Ward residence, according to infor
mation gathered by Dr. W. P. But
ler, parish coroner, made his way
to the dining room where Ward was
sitting at a table with Miss Mil
ler, Mrs. C. E. Polndexter and the
letter's daughter, Dorothy, aged 6.
John Alford, negro chauffeur,
told police and the coroner that
Morgan fired one shot as he came
into the house and at the entrance
to the dining room fired five shots
which struck Ward, one penetrating
his heart. Apparently one of the
bullets hit both Ward and Miss Mil
ler, who was wounded in one thigh.
Her condition is not serious.
Morgan then ran from the house
to a street corner. There he shot
himself twice in the head.
What was described by friends as
a bitter enmity existed between
Ward and Morgan for .several
months. The reason was not ap

JAPAN NEUTRAL
IN MANCHURIA
Tokyo (yP Despite American,
British and French- notes warning
China and Russia of their obliga
tions under the Kellogg anti-war
pact, Japan will maintain her aloof
ness and hands off policy, which
she has followed since tl.e outbreak
of the Chinese -Russian controversy
last July 7.
The declarations from Washing
ton, London and Paris did not
greatly surprise official Tokyo since
the text of the American note had
been submitted to Baron Ikjuro
Shidehara, Japanese foreign minis
ter, in advance. The official spokes
man Tuesday made it clear that
Japan does not intend to be associ
ated with the notes.
Japan Tuesday, however, stated
through the spokesman, her thor
ough sympathy with' the prin
cipals and purposes of the
declarations, but believed that in
view of the realities of the situa
tion, such action was no longer
necessary and perhaps actually un
timely, tending to hamper rather
than assist the present progress
towards peaceable conclusion of the
controversy.

STUDY OF MAIL
ORDER MERGER
New York Wi E. C. Sams, presi
dent of the J. C. Penney company
which operates a chain of retail
stores practically nation-wide, said
Tuesday that the Penney execu
tives are studying the economic ad
vantages which might grow out of
a merger with a large mail order
organization.
He intimated, that the study was
being made on the basis of the pos
sibilities of a combination with
either Sears Roebuck and company
or Montgomery Ward and com
pany.
Mr. Sam's statement was In re
sponse to rumors which have been
current In New York and Chicago
that, a merger of his organisation

gotiated. This Mr. Sams flatly
denied, stating "the executives of
the J. C. Penney company have
not discussed the basis of a mer
ger with any Chicago mail order
house."
He added, however, "Some time
ago a committee was chosen from
our executives to study the econom
ic advantages that might grow out
of merging our organization with
one or the other of the large mail
order houses."

RETIREMENT OF
GILLETT STIRS
REGRET AJ HOME
Boston flPy Aggitation in Massa
chusetts republican ranks over Sen
ator Frederick H. Gillett a decision
not to run again was mingled Tues
day with praise for his services to
state and nation.
In a statement at Washington. Sen
ator Gillett, who is 78 years old, re
vealed that he had resolved to re
tire at the end of the six year term
when he was elected in 1924. His
withdrawal on March 4, 1931. will
end 39 years of continuous congres
sional service, the longest of any
man living since the recent death
of Senator Warren of Wyoming, and
a record of public office which be
gan 50 years ago as assistant attor
ney general of the state. For six
years he was speaker of the national
house of representatives.
Governor Frank C. Allen said that
the senator had rendered "distin
guished service to the state and na
tion," and Louis K. Liggett, nation
al republican committeeman, placed
the senator's contributions to the
country on a plane with those of
Webster, Hoar, Crane and Lodge.
Eben 8. Draper, former state sen
ator, was the first In the field as a
possible successor.
Speculation on the intentions ot
former Governor Alvan T. Fuller,
who has been a tentative candidate,
was not cleared by an enigmatical
statement. A political fued has ex
isted between Gillett and Fuller.
The former governor said: "I have
been expecting his decision to re
tire for some time; as to my own
position, I am not prepared positive
ly to announce my candidacy Just
yet."
Fuller had always acted Independ
ently of party leaders.
Former President Coolidge has
said with emphasis that he has no
desire to sit in the senate.
