Two miles and more In the air much of the way they had flying helmets as Easter bonnets. They left Olendale at 8:25:20 a. m. Eastern Standard time, landed at Wichita at 3:20:30 p. m., took off at 3:42:35 and landed at Roosevelt field at 11:11:52. The total elapsed time was 14 hours, 45 minutes and 32 seconds a schedule of breakfast in California, luncheon enroute, dinner (a little late) In New York. Colonel Lindbergh, who made the - flight to test the possibility of com mercial routes at high altitude be lieves that such flights will follow along the trail he blazed across the country. "This Is only one flight," he said, "and I hope to make others. How ever, I believe transport flying In the future will go to higher levels, first the air mail and later passen ger planes." He said they flew from 10.000 to 15,000 feet altitude most of the way. except for the last stretch Into New York. The colonel gave to Mrs. Llnd bergh much of the credit for the actual technical details of the flight She did the navigating, he said kept the charts, and occasionally handled the controls. Their plane Is equipped with dual controls.

WHEAT PRICES SEE-SAW, BUT CLOSELOWER Chicago (IP) After the early drop, the wheat market turned into a fiee-saw affair on the board of trade Monday with several sinking spells and as many rallies, closing lower. Liquidation and short cov erings caused th alternating move ments. Forecast for frost in north ern Kansas and Nebraska with fair and clear weatlfrr over western Kansas and Oklahoma checked selling on the breaks. But the gen eral weather, condition ln this country and Canada are favorable. Corn sagged sharply lower on an increase in the visible supply and oats held about steady. At the close wheat was U to ' cent lower, corn was V.i to 2?i cents lower and oats was !i to cent lower. Provisions were weak. Chicago (TV -Material setbacks In wheat values Monday resulted from Increased selling based chiefly on reports of beneficial rains ln sec tions or the southwest and west. Forecasts of -freezing temperatures were virtually Ignored. Opening unchanged to lower, wheat aft erward underwent a downturn. Corn, oats and provisions were like wise easy, with corn starting un changed to !i up, but subsequently receding. LEGION HEAD APOLOGIZESFOR NOTE (Continued from page 1) tlon typifies the highest Ideals of service and devotion of America's womanhood, but I did try to ex press to you our militant loyalty and devotion to our auxiliary. I would appreciate the opportun ity of calling, upon you ln person that I might become more famil iar with your organization, but will you please accept my apolo gies at this time and let me assure you that I meant no offense, and it was furthcrest from my thoughts to embarrass your organisation ln the least. I do exceedingly regret to have caused you any displeasure and I can only wish for you per sonally and for your organization the very best of success. Humbly and respectfully yours, - SIDNEY S. GEORGE, Department Commander American Legion. "We of the American Legion," went on Mr. Oeorge. 'fully appre ciate the fact that none suffer more from the tragedies and hardships of war more than the women who send their sons and husbands to the front whileHhey remain behind suffering agonies of suspense that far too often is broken by the sad news mat tneir loved ones hud paid the supreme sacrifice. The American Legions thought have ever been for the dependent of veterans, as has been exemplified by every act of the legion in its dally service and In the many pieces of legislation the organization has sponsored. "Today, throughout the state, the legion is assisting the Gold Star mothers In their preparations to visit the graves of their sons and husbands overseas: the trip, itself, made at government expense, was brought about by the legion's ef forts In congress. "t cannot emphasize too strong ly my deep regret for the uninten tional affront given the splendid orvanir-ation of war mothers. I be lieve my sincerity in this is shown by the fact Utat my apology was forwarded to Mrs. Skiff immedia tely upon the discovery that my lettrr has been misconstrued fcnd .everal days before the matter came to public notice. I trust that by this time, the American War Mothers have accepted my apology and that the organisation wlil feel free to call on the services of my self and the American Legion whenever they may be needed." PLEAD FOR ROUTING ROADS AROUND CITIES Washington 4V-Trunk highwaye around cillea, rather than through them, are seen as a solution of traf fic congestion. More distributing routes, instead of excessive widening of 'existing roads, are prescribed by D. R. Lam son, engine of the American Road Builders' association, after a national survey of traffic conditions. Population centers are the nu clei of congestion. Traffic in larte cities la making transportation by horse -driven trucks cheaper than by motor vehicle. The autasr.o btle no longer has a Ume-aTlnf advantage." Regional plans, superior to politi cal boundaries and controlled by state legislation, were recommend ed for cities to clear up congestion. WOOL GROWERS NOT SIGNING OP FOR MARKETING While there has been no material change in the wool and mohair sit uation during the past few days, one or two developments have re sulted In the apparent crystallza tion of opinion among the majority of the growers In this district to continue to avoid entangling alli ances with government-backed co operative movements and to depend upon the private marketing and manufacturing Interests to breathe new life into the Industry and lift it from ita present uncertain posi tion, local wool interest reported here Monday. Although receiving wide publicity Dei ore a meeting called by repre- sentatives of the Pacific Wool Growers co-operative association which Is assertedly the local agent of the federal farm board's wool marketing operations, at Rickreall last Thursday evening, no direct reports on the meeting have been forthcoming, but roundabout re porta reaching Salem Monday in dlcated that the cooperative and the farm board proposals were sub jected to considerable criticism by a number of the growers present. Whether anyone nt all had signed up following the meeting Thursday was problematical, according to th; reports here, it being stated that the general sentiment of the meet ing was that the growers who were not now an um ted with the cooper atives should continue to rely upon tneir private agencies ln financing tneir crop disposal with somo d- finite understanding upon which the grower can figure his opsra tions. Confirmation of a continued weak position of the mohair mar ket was received by one operator from his Boston connections, stat ing that reports there indicate more than half of last year's mo hair clip Is still unsold, and indi cating perhaps a further recession from the 25 cents and 30 cents quo tations now -in effect at buying points. Valley wool cuotaticm- of last week continue unchanged at 22 cents for medium fleeces, and 18 cents for prime fine and course grades. LOCAL LABOR BILL VETOED BY MAYOR (Continued from page 1) wages not Justified by economic con ditions. He a'-so objected to the pro vision of the ordinance which would make the city engineer the sole ar biter of the scale of wages to be paid on public works. Another defect in the measure is the stipulation that contractors on all public works shall pay the "pre vailing rate" of wages without mak ing any provision lor determining what shall be considered as the "pre vailing rate." If the union scale is to be Inter pret ted as the prevailing rate the ordinance would operate to increase labor costs on public works here ma terially at the expense of the tax payers, it is pointed out. Likewise, it would give the labor unions a lever to enforce whatever wage scales they might sec lit, although they have been unable heretofore, partic ularly during recent months, to maintain any scale. "Such legislation as this is vis clous and wrong." said Mayor Lives ley, "and the only purpose it will serve at this time is to throttle pub lic works much weeded to relieve the unemployment situation. There is no Justification for any action oy tne council to impose upon the city any legislation which will prevent free competition in the employment of labor, or in the purchase of any oth er commodity entering into the ex penditure of public funds. "The ordinance is also defective iri that it would make the office of city engineer a football of poltiics." There Is alro the question of whe ther the city has a legal right to im pose such restrictions ln discrimina tion against any of Its citizens, op ponents of the ordinance assert, pointing to the conflicting opinions of the courts upon this question. The milk ordinance bill and bids on a lire alarm system for Salem will be other matters before th? council Monday night. It is probable that some amend ments will be made to th? milk bill. No objection will be made, accord ing to indications, to the increase In the number of grades of raw and pasteurized milk. But It is probable that the provision for the butterfat minimum will be in creased from 3.25 to 3.5 or 3.8. This was contended for by a represen tative of the producers at a con ference cdmmittee last Friday night. It was mildly protested by the distributors, but it is not prob able that they will stress their cb J?ctkns to the proposed change. Bidding will not be lively, it was indicated Monday, on the box fire alarm system. Early In the day no bids had been filed with the city recorder. It was uncertain how many manufacturing companies would send in their bids prior to the council mating. Some of the com pan lr j have been observing the city and the fire hazard conditions here for the last three months, so It is pretty certain that thert will be some competition. The Hollywood Community Im provement club has not let down on Its protest against an alarm sys tem and tt is understood will send a delegation to tfea council to pro test aga nst the purchase of this equipment. The Hollywood piople take the position that telephone service Is sufficient for fire alarm equipment, and that the purchae would be a wast of money. Par ticularly they- insist that the ctty should first build the South Salem sub station and provide better pay for firemen before a fire alarm ays tern Is considered. No Important new ordinances or resolutions have been prepared for Introduction Monday night. There will be a grist-of sidewalk assess ment ordinancea. NEWEST U. S.

Chicago Gangsters Resume Hostilities With Triple Killing Chicago (AP) The Blue gang murder, saw a triple slaying early Easter morning. One man entered the speakeasy, tossed a dollar bill on the bar and ordered beer. Two minutes- later he ran out. the beer untouch ed, change from his dollar still on the bar and three dead men oi th? sawdust floor. Walter Wakefield, "The Fibber, lay dead behind the bar. A bullet had struck him in the head. Frank Del Re, sometimes called Frank Dire. 33, also had been shot in the back, apparently as he ourIu to flee. Joseph Special, 28, partner of Del Rc in th; operation of the groggery, lay dead Ln front of the bar. He had been shot in the chest as the assassin turned to meet his attack. - In one dead hand special clasped a knift. In the othrr. gripped like a club, was the bust of a plaster saint. Detectives saw the murders as a wore against the Al Cr.pone gang. for the three dead men were Ca- pene disciples. They saw the crime bcth as a refutation to the reported peace agreement in gangland, and as a challenge to the Capone over lordship. There were po.eai and labor racketeering angles, too, the racket eering possibilities being regarded as particularly significant In view of persistent word lately that Capone had ambitions to 'muscle uito labor organizations. Wakefield, police heard, was a pro tege of Dan Serritella, city sealer and republican power In the first ward. Serritella has been regarded as friendly to Capone. Wakefield and 'Del Re were active In the re cent election in Serritella's success ful campaign for committeeman. A man whose name was with held by Police said Wakefield on Saturday night had attended a meeting .of the Bread. Crackers, Yeast and Pie Wason Drivers un ion, local No. 734. "Capone planned to take over the union through Wakefield," the man said. "I heard some say fol lowing the meeting: 'Well have to kill him yet; his bedv will be found in an alley before long. " All three dead men were known to the police, but none of them, -so far as the records reveal, ever had any serious trouble with the law. Several years ago Del Re was held on a burglary charge, which was later changed to disorderly conduct. Special was a cousin of Phil Special, alter whom the village of Special ville. a Capono gang hangout, was named. Wakelleld was a drug clerk, turned bartender. The Blue Hour calnon was the place where Jimmy Vinci and Joe CiranatLa shot it out in a death duel five years ago. Vinci was the driver of the death car in the assassination of Mossy'' Enright, labor leader. Granatta was one of the first gang machine gunners. - MILITANT MINISTER ROUTS PROWLER BAND City Bank. Mont, ill Ncciurnal raiders were igncminiously routed and their lmpreesive standard, a ;i;ry cross, was captured by an angry Presbyterian minister the other night. When the city lights suddenly shut off. the Rev. A. M. Wilson glanced out the window of his home and noticed several figures dressed in white shrouds approaching his residence. They carried a flaming cross. Righteously Indignant, the milit ant minister of the gospel threw open his front door and made a rush toward the Intruders. Amazed and dismayed, they dropped their flaming cross and scattered. . REFINED 81'GAR LOWER San Francisco (4 The price of refined sugar dropped 10 cents per hundredweight to M 90 Monday.

Hour saloon, no stranger to Paris (IP) The French capital is loosing Its grip on the nice but naughty side of life, mourns one of those sprightly weekly magazines called Fantaslo. Although Fantasio, and Its confreeres, such as La Vie Parislenne, Le Sour ire, Le Rire, Le Journal Amusant. and others are doing their best to keep up this touch with naughtiest nature, they weep over the spectacle of a once brilliant city gone absolutely moral. The chief of police, Jean Chlappe, is blamed for -this upward trend of the life In Paris. t, fact, two pain staking and enthusiastic United Press correspondents made the hor rible discovery the other night that the present revue at the Casino de Paris goes through the entire first part without showing one nude. When, during the second act, one correspondent had to wake up the other correspondent, who was gent ly sleeping on his shoulder, and in formed him that the nude had act ually appeared somewhere in the dim remoteness of the stage, the awakened visitor could hardly be lieve his eyes. The show, which fea tures Mistinguett in almost every sketch, in every position, is the kind of sevue which is causing the light- hearted and frolicksome foreigner to go to Berlin instead of staying in Paris. Parisien stage managers, pro ducers and chiefs of police, should be Informed that Americans, Ar gentines, Greeks and automobile salesmen can see beautiful cos tumes at Flo Zlegfeld's or at George White's Scandals all the costumes they want to see. What they want to see in Paris is something they can't see ln New York. In fact, there's Just one wise crack ln the Casino de Paris show, and you may sleep through the rest of It. It comes from an American, the delectable and elegantly dressed bum who heads the act known as the Millionaire Band. During the musical convolutions a nude lady suddenly stalks across the stage, whereupon alt the hoboes leave their work and follow the lady off the stage. Monsieur, the Millionaire Director looks sadly after his de parting troupe, then observes phil osophically. "Well, those fellows came over here to study abroad." This might be a dud in New York, but for those Americans who have been working abroad for the last 10 years, it drew a long, rollicking p?al of laughter. CLASS CONTESTS O. A. C.

Acquisition oi the radio manufac turing lacilities of the General Electric and the Westlnghouse Elec tric companies by Radio corpora- tion of America, which ln turn will be controlled by the electrical com panies, stimulated urgent buying of shares of these three companies. Formal announcement of the of fering of additional stock at (100 a share to present noiders Dy ine American Telephone 4c Telegraph company ln the ratio of one new share for every six shares held was also favorably received In wall Street, althouhg American Telephone broke abruptly on news or the 01- fering as recent buyers took profits. Other favorable aspects of the rise in prices was the signs or heavy Easter business on the part of re tailers. News from both the steel and automobile Industries was Im proved and new construction showed signs of increasing. Price movements toward me ena of the week showed considerable re straint, due to heavy pre-holiday liquidation of stocks and to highly unsettling price breaks in many in dividual issues. Coppers were weak following a reduction ln the price oi the metal to 14 cents a pound from 18 cents a pound. Special issues like United States Industrial Alcohol, Air Reduction. Checker Cab Manufacturing and some of the motors suffered sharp declines, principally because ot special situations. Offsetting these declines, high-prized snares like Diamond Match, Eastman Kodak J. I. Case, Vanadium Steel, Allied Chemical and Ingersoll Rand soared to new high levels for the year. Recent leaders like Steel common Union Carbide, General Motors and American Can met extensive seiiin? when efforts were made to bring about advances in these issues. They scored moderate gains, how ever, and reflected optimism in trading circles.

More than 300 times since the reign of Queen Elizabeth has such a band gathered in the great ca thedral to receive the king's Maun- ry money Maundy Thursday, they hobbled tnrougn uie arcnea aw wftv of the abbey, alone or ln twos and threes, and moved like ghosts among the tombs of Britain's great to be strangely honored oy tne aing. Sixty-five men and 65 women should have been there, for the king is 65 years old this year, Dut age and privation had kept many from coming. Every one was over years of age. every one nad at one time employed labor or paid taxes to the crown and every one was now ln need. As "Big Ben" Just across tne square, struck twelve, a company of Yeomen ot the Guard, clad ln rich scarlet and gold, slowly pro ceeded up the dlmly-llghtcd aisle of the abbey. At their head walked a sergeant ot the guard, bearing on his head a large metal tray on which were heaped little red and white purses, their long strings hanging ln order ly array over the edge of the tray. Behind tne yeomen, came ur. Armltage Robinson, the Dean of Wells and the King's Lord High Almoner. As the deputy of the king, he wore a r.chly embroidered coat over his surplice, and around his shoulders was a large white towel, symbol of the days when the king knelt to wash the feet of the poor, ns Christ did at the Last Supper. He was followed by tne ueputy Almoner and the Sub-Deputy Al moner, also swathed in white towels. After them came two boys and two girls, "children of the Almoner," and they in turn were followed by the royal choirboys in purple cas socks, lace surplices and stiff lit tla ruffs. While the aged men and women lingered in the shadows, the Al moner spoke a few words and the organ echoed through the vaulted root ln a service which had also corns down from Elizabeth's day. Then, discarding his ornate robe, the Almoner walked down from the pulpit cmong the poor people, as the king had humbled himself amomr them In olden times, and distributed the Maundy money. The red purses each contained "gold", or rather banknotes, to th value of $29. The white purses each contained newly-minted silver coins amounting to 66 pennies one for each year of the King's age. One by one the aged men and women took their gilts and hobbled out from among the tombs and trophies, back along the way they had come. Those who were unable to re. ceive their gifts at this time will be given their Maundy money private ly by a representative of the king. The last king personally to make the gifts was James II. HQOD RIVER TO WIPE OUT DAIRY CATTLE DISEASE Hood River, (VP) A plan for making Hood River county the first county of the state and of the country to be entirely free front both infectious abortion and bovine tuberculosis has been approved by the state livestock sanitary board at the request of a dairymen's com mittee. The dairymen of this county led by County Agent A. L. Marble have progressed to this point in less than a year, as the first testing was done only last June. Petitions to make the county a free area w?re signed last November by the owners of 89 per cent of the assessed cattle of the county. With only 100 more cattle to be tested, the results so far show that of the 1899 cattle tested only .8 of one per cent reacted to the T. B. test and 119 per cent to the abor tion test. Of the 250 herds tested all but 16.6 per cent were free from mlection. FRANCIS M. CLODFELTEIt Francis M.
