NORBLAD AIDE TALKS TO LIONS Irl McSherry, who became pri vate secretary to Governor Norblad March 15. made his "maiden (speech' in his new official capa cay Friday noon wnen he appeared before the Lions club when Gover nor Norblad- found it impossible to attend. . Human Interest In connection with office details and the mail was commented upon by McSherry, who has found himself busy receiv ing visitors at the executive offices where "open house" is always held. There were 60 visitors Thursday, Including delegations and groups, with many of the high school peo ple here for the state basketball tournament given the opportunity to greet Governor Norblad and sit in the governor's chair. Board and commission meetings demand much time, he said, and it is necessary to work late at night to dispose of routine business which accumu lates during the day. Development of the Oregon ter ritory since 1843 when too emi grants set out for the northwest from Missouri to the present time was briefly sketched by McSherry, who closed his talk with a plea for an united effort to advertise Ore gon and develop its resources. VEHRS BARRED BY SALEM HOSPITAL (Continued from page 1) he could not practice in the hos pital after Monday. Dr. Vchrs says he told the superintendent that he would decline to take cog nizance of such an order until he had been formally notified by the board. On Monday Dr. Vehrs re ceived the following letter by reg istered mall: 'Confirmatory of our conversa tion of yesterday, Sunday, March 16th, the following motion was made and passed at a meeting on Friday. March 14th, of the Execu tive Committee of the Board of Trustees, that: (Superintendent, Miss Wahlstrom, be authorized to notify Dr. George R. Vchrs that his presence is no longer desired in the Salem General hospital and that no more patients will be admitted the case, or as assistant or consult- ant in any case, and that as soon as the two patients now under his care in the hospital are discharged no professional visits by him to pa tients In the hospital will be per mitted.) "Respectfully submitted, "Salem General Hospital, "Sign V. Wahlstrom, B.N., "Superintendent." The order came to Dr. Vehrs, he declares, like a bolt out of a clear sky and without so much as an in timation of trouble. His Investiga tion of the order disclosed, he states, that It was made by the three mem bers of tiie executive committee upon their own responsibility with the possible approval of the execu tive committee of the staff of doc tors, which is admitted by the com mittee members, and without the approval of tlie board of trustees. Contending that Dr. vehrs is en titled to an open statement of the specific charges against him and a full opportunity to defend himself against any and all such charges his attorney has written the chair man of the board requesting "that formal charges be preferred and that an early trial be had. If the charges are presented to us by to morrow noon (says the letter dated March 18 we will be prepared to go before the board tomorrow eve ning are try out whatever cMargc might be made. The doctor should be reinstated until the matter is heard and de termined. At a meeting of the board of directors Wednesday night when the matter came up of backing the executive board In Its action, no final vote wan taken as five of the board members declined to vote until a competent legal opinion was secured as to whether such ac tion would subtect the Salem hos pital to an action for damages. Board members stated that while under the bylaws of the hospital a physician could be denied use of the hospital for himself and his patients "for the good of the In sMtution without any specific charges, the question was raised as to whether tltere might not bei seme conflict between the by-laws and the civil laws of the state w h ich wou Id g I ve an opening to an action for damages. "Salem hospital is having a hard enough time to get along as It Is" ' said one of the board, "without j subjecting It to the wMlblllty of a suit which might cost It thousands I of dollars which ever way It went." As a result it was dctded to! submit the question to a competent j legal authority and the meeting stood adjourned until such opinion1 waa ready. The matter a sub- ui..ted by telegraph throush H. S oile, president ot the board to th: American College of Surgeons in Chicago and their reply is belnj awaited. . . v At Wednesday night's meeting some of the board members indi cated they were slightly resentful of tiie executive committee's action in taking snap action by immediate de mand that Dr. Vehrs cease all con nections with the hospital without filing any specific charges or giving htm a hearing, but this was met by otner ooard members who pointed to the by-law provision that such action might be taken for-"the goot of the institution." It is stated that one of the un derlying causes of the present dif ficulty came up over s year ago when 12 nurses at the hospital threatened to go on a strike unless some changes were made in the ad ministration at the hospital. The nurses at that time took their cause of complaint to Dr. Vehrs, submit ted it to him and asked him to submit It to the board, which he de clined to c"o. However, he did relay the information to" a member of the board who is reported to have told him to send the charges in and they would be sifted to the bottom. He sent the charges by messenger. After the nurses' matter had come before the board and been threshed out Dr. Vehrs was then called onto the carpet and an Investigation had. which resulted In his remaining on the hospital staff. At another time, is stated, cnarges were made be fore the board that Dr. Vehrs had taken up with the labor commis sioner a complaint of a nurse to the effect that she had been required to work too long hours. Another hearing, it was stated, was had on uus matter at wmch some strong expressions were passed but he still remained on the staff after this hearing. Another incident said to have caused ill feeling on the part of the aa ministration at tne hospital oc curred not long ago when Dr. Vehrs took an amateur moving picture ko. dak to the hospital and in an at tempt to secure a motion picture of a sinus operation caused a fuse to blow out and some of the lights were blown out. Some words arose between Dr. Vehrs and the super intendent at the time as to who should pay for the lights and this is said to have further engendered ill feeling. However, no member of the board would make any specific charges and such Incidents were cited, aa well as allegations that he had been a disturbing factor among nurses. DOHENY'S CASE READY FOR JURY Washington (Pi Justice WUllam Hits announced Friday the case of inward Doneny charged with brib ing Albert B. Fall former cabinet officer, would go to the Jury Sat- uraay. Justice Hits made his announce ment after Owen J. Roberts, for the government had concluded argu merits In the case.

The courtroom was Jammed and spectators were standing in the en trance alfie as Roberts ended his address. Frank Hogan of the defense made ringing plea for acquittal of the 73-year-old millionaire. PROSECUTOR TO TRY FISH POACHERS At the request of Governor Nor blad, Attorney General Van Winkle nai appointed Chester McCartv of Portland as special prosecutor to nanaie alleged Illegal fishing cases growing out of the activity of fish ermen on Rogue river in Curry county. The demand for a special prosecutor came from the state game commission and from the sportsmen. It Is said that author ities In Curry county have been un able to get any case to trial. Tne trouble is said to have been brought to a head by the recent selrure by the Curry county sheriff of a quantity of salmon that was being cured by local game officials to oe held for evidence. The same officials had previously taken the salmon from the alleged illegal iiancrmen. RILL TO PURCHASE WHEAT FOR CHINESE Washington W) The federal farm board revolving fund would be drawn on to purchase $75,000,000 worth of flour for shipment to des titute regions of China for dl.itrltm tlon to the starving population un- aer a Din introduced by Represen tatlve 8ummers, republican, Wash ington.

Roy St. Lewis. United States dis trict attorney, announced the pris oner admitted ownership of the still. LliMUENOF, NORTHWEST SAY TARIFF TO HELP Portland WV Prominent Pacific coast lumbermen In this section predicted a general quickening ot the pulse of the lumber Industry in the northwest, the reopening of many mills closed because ot over production and re-employment of hundreds of men in mills through out the state as the result of the united States senate in adopting the 81.50 per thousand feet tariff on soft woods. Although the tariff does not be come a law until the house and President Hoover approves It. the measure, which was passed by a margin ot one vote, indicated a trend toward protection ot the Pa cific northwest's greatest Industry, lumbermen said. The tariff passed the senaLe aft er a heated lengthy fight In which Senator Charles L. McNary, re publican, Ore., and all other north west congressmen snllt a coalition of democrats and republican inde pendents and rode through to a victory with the one vote to the good. John Tennant, president of the west coast Lumber Manufacturers association and vice-president of the Long-Bell Lumber company at Longview, expressed his belief that the tariff law would bring much benefit to this section. a He said that American lumber men, could not compete on a more favorable basis with British Co lumbia and Russia, where lower wage scales and lower water trans portation have prevailed. incomeTtaxes running ahead Washington MV-The treasury an nounced that Income tax reports as of March 19 were $70,053,867.41, bringing the total so far this month to $384,853,430.30. This total for the month compar ed with 1379.9B1.531.78 for the cor responding period a year ago. The increase over 1929 collections to date still was attributable to the enor mous sum reported on March 18 as a result of overtime work by col lectors all over the country, immedi ately after the March 15 collections. Friday's figure showed a falling off In comparison with the total re ceipts for March 19, 1929, which ex ceeded $100,000,000. This decrease was expected In view of the speeding up of ths bulk of collections. There was nothing In the latest figures to alter the belief of treas ury officials that the budget esti mate of $550,000,000 for Income tax collections for the first quarter near ly would be realized. DEATH SAVES MAN FROM PRISON TERM Santa Cruz, Calif., (LPV A higher tribunal saved John Hyde from the dishonor of starting a prison sentence Friday. Hyde stood before Judge H. C. Lucas here and was asked if there was any reason that sentence should not be imposed upon him for embezzlement in an automobile deal. The prisoner turned white, slumped forward and was pro nounced dead a few minutes later.

Physicians believed a weak heart caused his death. - ORDER MARINES FROM NICARAGUA Washington CP) President Hoov er Friday ordered about 850 of the marine force now detailed to Nica ragua to be withdrawn, reducing the total of the marine establishment now in the republic to between 900 and 1,000.

VPt Sewn killings in gang warfare that broke out with the slaying of Arnold Roth stein. New York gambler, were stripped of their mystery by New ark police Friday with tne an nouncement ot the identification of Eugene Moran, alias John Rice, as the victim of a "ride ' whose flame enveloped body was found on the outskirts ot this city, Au gust . 129. Solution ot the Moran slaying. Frank K. Brex. deputy chief of po lice, announced, waa brought about in St. Louis, February 18. after seven months work by detectives. Koran's slayers having forfeited their own lives, Brex described his announcement as the "final chap ter of brutal, but thrilling book" of crime. Koran's charred body was taken from a flame-wrecked automobile In the desolate marshland skirting Newark's east side. The automo bile was without license plates and its engine cumbers had been al tered. The teeth of the victim were photographed and circulars distrib uted to 40,000 dentists throughout the United States. Identification, however. , came through a check of the registra tor issued for the fictitious num bers punched in the automobile's motor. It was Moran, the police said, who engineered the $305,500 rob bery of Mrs. Hugo C. P. Bchoell kopf in 1933. The gangster estab lished relations with Rothstein sev eral years later. Brex said, and was dispatched to Denver by the gam bler to "take care" of one Eddie Diamond who had gone there for his health. Eddie and his brother. Jack, had had a falling out with Rothstein. Mnran n1 hi ri(nrhmn tjirniwl machine gun on Eddie and his au tomobile In Denver November ft. 1928, but Diamond escaped and died later of tuberculosis. Soon after the death of Roth stein, Moran, telling his father that the gambler's passing meant the loss of $1,000 a week to him, moved to Orantwood and later to Brielle, N. J.
