CONTEMPT NOT SHOWN, APPEAL COURT DECIDES Cleveland VP) Convictions of contempt of court against Louis B. Seltzer, editor, and Carlton K. Mat son, editorial writer, of the Cleve land Press, were overruled Thurs day by the Cuyahoga county appel late court. The editors had been convicted a year ago by Common Pleas Judge Frederick P. Walther, who sentenc ed them to 30 days tn Jail and fines 01 531KI. Waither's action was taken after an editorial appeared in the Press, criticizing the Judge for restraining Sheriff E. J. Hanratty from stopping a betting method at a race track. Newton D. Baker, who represented the editors, told the appellate court the editorial did net constitute con tempt inasmuch as It appeared when the case was no longer pending. Tne appellate court decision said "We live in an age of pitiless pub licity where the freedom of the press and freedom of speech arc paramount issues and newspapers should have the right to print what they please, always guiding them selves by the laws of libel. A free people must have a free press and a newspaper should have the right to speak freely Its views." PARRISH HERE Expressing a desire to have the matter settled as soon as possible, R. D. Parrish, former bookkeeper for the state tuberculosis hospital here and accussed of larceny of pub lic funds, reached Salem Thursday forenoon and Is being held in the county jail, parrisn, who was ar rested Wednesday in BeUingham, waived extradition. He was brought here by a Whatcom county officer. Since leaving here in December, 1928, Parrish has acquired a wife, according to arresting officers. Al though he had assumed the name of Oliver, officers state Parrish was married under his true name. Parrish has been in the employ of a business college in Bellingham, the proprietor of which made the trip to Salem with Parrish. He says Parrish has been one of his best workers. Parrish is accused of taking close to $1400 from the hospital funds, the sum being taken in small a mounts over a period of several months. SOTHERN ASSAILED BY GENE HOWE Amarlllo, Tex. OP) E. H.

Referendum on City Wa ter Purchase Plan To be Urged Upon Club Members of the special committee named by the Pro gressive' Businessmen's club of the Hollywood district to in vestigate and report back on the most feasible plan of action to follow In securing submission of- the municipal ownership ol th! water system to the voters an nounced Thursday afternoon that the committee would be ready to report back to the regular .meeting of the club Thursday evening. The report will recommend, th2 committeemen said, that the mat ter of Invoking the Initiative to compel submission of the question to a popular vote to be held in abeyance until It has been deter mined whether or not the council will authorise an Informal referen dum on the question of purchase of the system at the time of the May election. This referendum would be In the nature of a plebescite to determine the sentiment of the people, and would not be morally binding upon the council to follow out the man date expressed in the result of the balloting. If municipal ownership were favored by a majority of the voters, It Is explained, the council could then proceed with the pre liminary expenditures rieoessaiy to placing a valuation upon the water company's properties with the as surance that a reasonable purchase plan would be acceptable to the people when they were called upon to vote the required bonds. The committee will further recom mend that the council be asked to authorize such a referendum at its next meeting, and it was said that Alderman O'Hara would be request ed to introduce the necessary reso lution or ordinance at that time. Some details still remain to be worked out as to the form in which the "referendum" should be sub mitted, and it has not yet been decided whether authorisation should be Included in the stated Question for the council to Incur the S3000 or $4000 Indebtedness which would be required In making appraisal of the properties and in meeting other preliminary expenses. In the event the council refuses to hold such a referendum it will be the recommendation of the club committee that Initiative petitions be circulated to submit to a vote In November a. charter amendment Instructing the council to proceed with the purchase of the water system through condemnation and at the same time authorising the Issuance of bonds In a sum not to exceed a stated amount. Br Initiating the proposal as charter amendment, it is pointed out by attorneys who have InvesU aated the matter for the committee and for the Capital Journal the cumbersome and complicated process for purchase of a utility Dy tne city a prescribed by the charter would be avoided and the council could proceed at once with con demnatlon action If the city and water company could not come to' an agreement on a reasonable price to be paid. tardIeuTeturns to nayal parley Paris The rrench delegation to the naval confej'ence, headed by Artstide Briand, foreign minister in the new cabinet of Andre Tardleu, left here at noon Thursday for Lon don.

A few of the "Orphan Annies" have suggested "Universal club" and others "Oregonlans, Inc." aa a title for the group. CORBETT SAYS OFFICE FIGHT OVEfUONG AGO (Continued from pfte 1) land. In which he was quoted as attacking the state office building project, Corbett characterized the report as unfair In that It did not quote him fully in his reference to the project In a speech In which he was outlining the history of the ac cident fund leading up to the resolution creating the interim committee now lnvcstlgatng the status of the Industrial compensa tion act. Corbett was the author of the resolution adopted by the last legislature calling tor the In vestigation. "My talk was purely an outline of the history of the fund In which I stated that the reason for my opposition to the use ot the acci dent commission funds for. con struction of the building was '.'le apprehension that the state might olfset the money borrowed for this purpose against the approximately (300,000 advanced to the fund In Its early days, and thereby deplete the segregated fund from which benefits are paid In that amount." said corbett. Thf possibility ot such action was, however, eliminated with the passage of the bill whereby the state waived its :laim to these ad vances. That tight is over and forgotten so far as I am concern ed.' Corbett's rlslt to Salem was a demonstration of hie campaign methods. He spent the entire day making personal contaeU with friends and through then with other Salemltes, giving Uw roters whom he met m cliance to sise him up at close range. Wednesday eve ning he was Joined by Floyd Cook, his campaign manager, who re mained In the) city over Thurrday to start the ball rolling toward an organisation here in Corbett's be half. Their visit, likewise, discloses the strategy of the Corbett cam paignstirring the enthusiasm of political "king pins" In eaeli com munity through personal calls by the candidate, and a mopplng-up by Cook In organizing the converts. Cook claims brilliant success tor the system, particularly In Wash- lngton ana Yamhill counties, where he claims Corbett has corralled more votes than any other two candidates for the nomination to gether. Both of these counties have been worked Intensively and the Corbett -Cook combination la now reaching out to cover In similar manner aa much of the state aa is possible before May 16. Corbett's visit and the announce ment of Senator Charles Hall's platform formed the two principal topics ot political conversation around the city Thursday, athough rumore(j itlleaUoa ot Aidermlul W. W. Rosebraugh to declare him- self as a candidate tor mayor be fore tho end ot the week was beard here and there. Shorn ot the political platitudes and catch-all generalities common to all campaign declarations Hall's platform statement places him on record In favor of the "develop ment of Oregon;" reduction ot the tax burden through increasing the state's prosperity; completion of the highway program; development of river transportation; reservation ot "unappropriated power sites to tne state '; rree school text books; the child labor amendment to the federal constitution; a "strong executive organization" to enforce the prohibition laws, and conservation of natural resources." REGRETS DOMIC OPERA REVOLT Monte Carlo (LP) Monaco, sadly wlsened, begins to regret the folly of Its famous "comic opera" revo lution of 1D2A. The revolt of the national council against the abso lute monarch of six square miles of national territory. Prince Louis of Monaco, has had a boomerang effect upon gambling and business. Ever since the war, Monte Carlo had felt growing competition, but so great was the fame ot the re sort that tourists continued to flock there for a chance to break the famous bank of Monte Carlo. San Remo, just across the Italian border, Cannes and Mice, with 11 casinos between them In cluding Frank Jay Oould's $5,000, 000 palace have stunned Monte Carlo with one death blow after another, until today the famous casino on the rock Is barely stag. gerlng along under It heavy load. The people ot the principality realise that the revolution is largely to blame, for a revolution Is hard to dodge In a republic Just six square miles In area. Tourists were frightened away, and al though all has been peaceful and quiet on the rocky shelf of coast, yet the tourists have not come back. . The national council Is now considering asking the ruler to let loose his strangle-hold on the casino. He is now paid a fixed sum annually; plus a percentage of the kitty, Und the casino pays all the taxes of the principality, pays for the sweeping ot the streets, street lights, street cars, planting of flowers everywhere and every other deficit. . The casino laments all this overhead charge which drains its treasury and makes competition Impossible against the neighbor ing French and Italian resorts. The council has been appealed to and may suggest to Prlnco Louis that the golden egg laying gooje is tn danger of being choked, and that. In the Interests of all con cerned the prince's share ot the kitty might be reduced. In a final effort to encourage tourists to play on the Monte Carlo tables, the casino has made It much easier to break the bank by cutting in half the capital with which each table starts the dsy. Breaking the bank Is a thrill which comes only once in the lifetime of a small number ot players.
