' FUIX LEASED WIRE SERVICE OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS AND THE UNITED PRESS The Associated Press Is exclusively entitled to the use for publication ot all news dispatches credited to It or not otherwise credited In this paper and also local news published herein. - "Without or with offense to friends or foes I sketch your world exactly as it goes." Byron Encouraging the Blocs Indications are that it is not the lumbermen who are in tent on securing the defeat of Senator McNary but the Port land Oregonian. And now that the lumbermen are balking at the program outlined and refusing to put up the campaign coin; the Oregonian has turned to the stockmen in the effort to secure an opponent tthe senator in the primaries. If these fail, there is a long list of industries seeking favors that that may be mobilized one after the other. The claim that Mr. McNary did not work and vote and do all that he could for a lumber tariff, is thoroughly dis proved by the facts as revealed by many witnesses. The charges originated with a lobbyist who thought he knew more about Congress than the Senator. It is another instance of lobby interference and Insolence. The stockmen are reported about to draft their own rate attorney as candidate for senator on the presumption they can thereby secure government ships to haul their products at cut rates, get railroad freight rates reduced, navigation on the upper Columbia and tariffs on hides and oleo. If we are going to have candidates that will serve spe cial interests instead of the people and degenerate from the party system to the bloc system each intent on graft, the more candidates the Oregonian trots out, the better. It is the result of the new paternalism that makes government guardian and dispenser of privilege and prosperity for the privileged. Hoover Economy On February 24, on his return from his Florida fishing trip, the President summoned the Republican leaders to the White House and warned them to cut down appropriations, for $50,000,000 would be the limit to which Congress could go in voting money beyond the budget at this session with out forcing an increase in taxes. . On February 25, Mr. Hoover made a second appeal this time "to the people at home" asking them to "support the members of Congress in their cooperation with the adminis tration to hold down these new proposals for additional ex penditures." Last week the Senate appropriations committee report ed a deficiency appropriation bill providing for additional expenditures of $171,000,000, an increase from the House bill, which carried $48,000,000 and complied with the execu tive's wishes, of $123,000,000. Of this amount $100,000,000 was added at the request of Mr. Hoover himself, to finance the grain speculations of his Farm Board.' , . Therefore the first to disregard the economy program enjoined by the President, is Mr. Hoover himself, who adds $100,000,000 to the $50,000,000 he placed as a limit. And the deficiency is incurred to promote an experiment in pa ternalism revolutionary in its scope and with every historical precedent against its success. So the President, who enjoins economy on a construc tive program of development that would have relieved the unemployed, sanctions the utilization of twice as much for grain gambling. He preaches one thing but practices another. Dry Dearborn At the opening of the drys' case before the House com mittee considering prohibition, Henry Ford, as r. chief wit ness, sent the following telegram as evidence: The Eighteenth Amendment Is recgonlzed by the men and women of eur country, the women especially, as the greatest force for the comfort and prosperity of the United States. I feel sure that the sane people of this nation will never see It repealed or dangerous modification. Some time before Mr. Ford had stated that if prohibi tion were abolished, he would cease manufacturing for "if booze came back to the United States, I would not be both ered with the problem of handling over 200,000 men and try ing to pay the wages which the saloon would take away from them." Yet while mnking this statement, Mr. Ford was trans ferring the manufacture of his tractors to his new plant in Ireland, which does not disenjoy prohibition, and opeiflng auto manufacturing plants in Kngland, France, Germany and Russia, all wet countries. And these plants are func tioning as satisfactorily as his Dearborn plant before the adoption of the dry law. The New York World sent one of its staff to Dearborn to find out conditions there. He found: That liquor Is everywhere obtainable; that larne numbers of the boarding houses where the workers live are In reality small speakeasies supplied by small sMIls operated In the cellar; that any workman who wants a drink can get It in the back room of scores of coffee-pot speak easies. The town Is dripping wet in the foreign district. Liquor is sold In hundreds of homes and commercial establishments Uirohout the city. In other words, the model Ford city is just as wet as any other place, despite efforts of federal, state and local authorities and Mr. Ford's own army of snoopers. Thereupon Mr. Ford, admitting the facts, declared that "giant rum rings, finunced by New York banks were forcing liquor into the community to discredit him." The idea that Wall Street is financing cellar stills and home-brewing, is as absurd as it is disinecnious. It however. Js typical of the Ford logic, which flounders helplessly out eide the beaten track of the machine of which he is master. Much of the nrgument before the committee is of the same character a blind support of theory and a blindness to conditions, which contradict the theory. The fanatical dry maintains his ostrich-like attitude with his head buried in the sand of illusion despite the storm of realities sweep ing over mm. .

Monday demanded that City Engineer Rogers render an accounting as to the condition and cost of tha Cottage street siphon, the cost of which is being paid from the city bridge fund. Purvine recalled that the council had been told that the cost would not be In excess of $3500, and de clared that the cost has run far in excess of that amount. Engineer Rogers replied that the siphon was completed, but that he was not prepared to say what the cost would total. He promised to make a financial report on the siphon at the next meeting ot the council. , Because of complaints that have been made about the darkness of the South Commercial street bridge Al derman Dancy wanted to know what had been done about lighting the bridge. He reminded the coun cil that the 1930 budget provides for the illumination of the struc ture. Alderman Wilkinson, chair man of the lighting committee, re plied that nothing had been done, but that he would take the subject up at once. The council refused Its approval of a bill for $253 from the Salem general hospital for care given Clyde Williams who was shot by a city police officer, and also rejected a bill for $250 from Dr. E. H. Hobson, who was Williams' physicl an. August Huckesteln, member of the hospital board, insisted that the hospital's bill should be paid as a moral obligation, but the council feared that it would be a costly precedent to set. A bill for $318 contracted by the city park board in the purchase of a power lawn mower was allowed in spite: of the contention of Alder man Olson, chal.'man of the park committee, that the board should consult the council before making a purchase of that size. An amend ment to the city charter provides the park board may expend park! funds without consulting the council. City Engineer Rogers reported that the remonstrance against the improvement of 25th street from State to Walker represented 57 per cent of the property involved and was sufficient to defeat the im provement. A petition was received for the improvement of Trade street from 24th to 25th. Also a petition was re ceived for a sewer in block 30 of Rosedale addition.

Tuesday, but there was a gauntlet of police toft te run belore be could ream It. The Broadway Limited of the Pennsylvania railroad arrived at 9:55 a. m., a squad of plice patrolled uie union station- In search of Ca pone, but he was not aboard. Released from the new state prison at Graterford, Pa., at 3:45 p. ni. Monday after1 he had been smug gled there from the Eastern Peni tentiary at Philadelphia, the grand mogul of Chicago's gangland and a select crew of men at arms were re ported to have boarded the Chicago bound train an hour later a North Philadelphia. Although the report that Capone and his party had boarded the train apparently was authentic, doubt was cast on it by later reports from Pittsburgh that reporters failed to find them when the train paused there early Tuesday. His wits served Capone in as good stead at the windup of his 10 month prison term for carrying a revolver into Philadelphia as they have in the rigorous years he has spent making millions by beer and bullets. It was more than four hours after he had left the Graterford prison and was eliciting over the rails west ward that crowds of curious, and newspaper reporters and photog raphers waiting In front of the Philadelphia prison learned he was not there. Warden Herbert (Hard Boiled) Smith then announced the ruse to the jeers and boos of the crowd. Frankie Rio. Capone's trigger man Friday, was released with him. Five gangsters met the two outside the Graterford prison walls. Supposed ly among the quintet were Ralph Capone, Al's brother, and Jake Gu- zik, his chief lieutenant In the beer and alcohol rackets. That coterie presumably still were aboard the Broadway as it neared Chicago. It was due to slide into the Englewood station at 9:35 a.m.. but advance predictions were that Capone and his crew would detrain at some station outside the city and complete the Journey by automobile. AH night long and on into the day squads of police had patrolled the blocks near the Capone home on South Prairie avenue. Fifteen po licemen kept vigil at the municipal airport after an early report that "Scarface' would come home In a big tri-motored Ford plane. The police had orders to arrest the gaug lord and bis men if any was armed. From within the tidy red brick home where Capone's aged mother, his sister and a youngzr brother live, came sounds of activity. Two 18-pound turkeys were delivered by a butcher boy. That meant there was -to be a feast of the Capone clan, police conjectured, although members of the family had nothing to say as to that. Familiar news was awaiting Ca pone's ear In his homeland haunts. Another victim went for "a ride Monday night. He died in the ap proved gangland manner with 11 bullet holes In his bead and body. The victim was Peter Blca, a graduate of thf University of Rome, who became involved in his adopt ed land in the alcohol cooking trade, police declared. That assassination, believed an other phase of a bitter north side gang war for control of the "alky" racket, followed closely discovery of the body of John (Biniken) Rito in the Chicago river. He, too, had gone for a gangland 4ride" but the mur derers had sought to conceal his passing by weighting his body with rocks and sinking it in the river. CecisUUaUy u lerta cent to Haifa.
