general trade remains somewhat
easy.
End of the butterfat war, at least
for a few days, Is Indicated. An
armistice has been a Breed upon by
buttermakers generally and prices
have receded to the position occa
sioned by the price of butter.
Favorable trend is continued In
the market for eggs. There was
again no change in either buying
or selling values. Storage opera
tions remain on a very extensive
scale.
Easter is over and there is no
change in the price offering for
chickens and none is in sight. While
there is a slight increase in home
offerings of broilers, demand ap
pears sufficient, at the prices, to
absorb.

ing lairly well maintained. Lambs

GUT FLIGHT RECORD
(Continued from page 1)
new record.
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.

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. -

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

Righteously Indignant, the milit

and dismayed, they dropped their

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.

PRICES HIGHER
IN PAST WEEK
New York (IP) Stimulated by
satisfactory business reports from
basic industries and by lavorabie
capital changes ln several of the
country's leading companies, stocks
pushed higher on the recovery from
November lows this week.
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.

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

Chemical and Ingersoll Rand soared
to new high levels for the year.
Recent leaders like Steel common

MAUNDY MONEY
DISTRIBUTED BY
KING'S ALMONER
London (IP) A small band of aged
men and women, thin and ben and
perhaps a bit threadbare, gathered
in the mellow snaaows oi Westmin
ster Abbey on Tnursaay oeiore
Easter and received largess irom
their sovereign.
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.
