200 DROWNED
WHEN TORNADO
STRIKES SHIP
Calcutta, India (U Two hundred
persons were drowned when the
steamer Condor was blown over by
a tornado In the Padma river Mon
day. Only IS of those aboard were
saved.
The Condor, a flat-bottomed ves
sel, was steaming up the Padma. a
tributary of the Ganges, Hi miles
off Nagabarl, when it met the tor
nado. One gust blew the ship com
pletely over, pouring its passengers
and crew into the swirling waters.
Survivors told a graphic story of
how the wind caught, the Condor
suddenly broadside and slewed her
around. Four anchor chains were
dropped to hold her in place.
The wind, scorching hot, lashed
the river until it churned like the
open sea under a storm.
"I never remem'jer having seen
such a strong wind," one survivor,
a sailor said. "It made a hideous
howling, and terrified the passen
gers. Huge waves swept the decks
and water rushed through the cab
ins. We started to turn the steamer
Into the wind, but a titanic gust
struck and overturned her to the
starboard. When I came to the sur
face I could see neither the vessel
nor the passengera."
The sailor managed to reach the
shore by swimming and wading af
ter much etfort.
- All the nulls and the cargo were
lost. -
The Condor was owned by the
Rivers Steam Navigation company,
of Calcutta.

MORTUARY NOT .
STATE REGULATED
The Merrill mortuary, whose op
erations In Oregon have been pro
tested by independent undertakers.
Is not subject to regulation by the
state corporation department In the
sale of burial service certificates.
says an opinion by Attorney Gen
eral Van Winkle. The attorney
general holds, however, that the
concern is prohibited by law from
selling Its permits under represen
tation that they are sanctioned by
the state.
When the concern came Into
Oregon about a year ago It was
granted a permit by the corporation
department to sell Its burial cer
tificates. Later the permit was
cancelled by the department be
cause the concern failed to file cer
tain reports. When It applied for
reinstatement a protest was made
by the independent undertakers and
a hearing was held about two weeks
ago.
The attorney general holds that
the certificates are not securities,
therefore not under the purview of
the state blue sky act.
WANT SOUTH HIGH
MADE STOP STREET
Pointing out that at least six
accidents have occured at the in
tersection during the past year
and .that it was through chance
alone that nobody has been ser
iously Injured or killed, five resi
dents of the district affected have
petitioned the city council asking
that South High and Rural avenue
be made stop streets where they
intersect.
The petitions In their communi
cation to the council state that
South High is used by some motor
ists as a speedway and since Rural
avenue has been cut through many
accidents result. Frequently ma
chines are forced into nearby lawns
doing considerable damage and
menacing lives of children.
Those signing the petition are
Tnomas e. Riiea, Elmer V. woo ten,
Wm. B. Mott, Ralph S. Hamilton
and Carl T. Pope.

of Justice has adopted a policy of
cooperating with local authorities In
its campaign to break up criminal
rings throughout the country and Is

partment 6eeks to extend and devel
op this system.

cially extensive drive against that
form of law violation as well as

particularly the patented, royalty
bearing types, have been practic
ally eliminated from the state
highway program, and that Daley Is
to be "consulted' in the selection
of their successors.
Monday Governor Norblad told
the Capital Journal that Fred
Brady Is not directing his catmfetgn
or working out of his campaign
headquarters, and amplified his de
nial with a statement mat stui
leaves much ground to be covered.
If Fred Brady is working for
me I know nothing about It," said
Governor Norblad. "If a man wants
to support me I cannot keep him
from It. I want all the support I
can get. Just like anyone else."
He did not deny that Brady is
directing a campaign movement in
his behalf from a special suite of
rooms In the Multnomah hotel,
which also houses the official Nor
blad headquarters, nor did he dis
close that he had made any investi
gation to determine who is putting
up the money lor the expenses of
Brady's campaign or what they
hoped to gain from success of their
efforts in behalf of Norblad.
The governor said that he had not
even read Watson's article in the
Oregon Journal, but said that he
had talked with Mr. Van Duser
about It prior to the tune he was
interviewed.
You can say for me that I know
nothing about it: that I have never
discussed such a matter with Brady
or anyone else. It looks to me like
someone was trying to elect a demo
crat, wny didn't Kaipn watson
come and ask me about it?
All of the candidates know they
have me to beat and they are all
picking on me.
How about van uuzer ana saw
yer and Klein?" the governor was
asked.
What about them? I didn't read
Watson's article."
When advised that Watson said
he had "information which comes
too straight be disregarded that
following Norblad 's election the two
commissioners and the highway en
gineer would "walk the plank," the
sovernor s only reply was:
"I am not going to interiete witn
the highway commission. I do not
see how the state could get along
without Mr. Van Duzer. He is a very
valuable man and has done a lot of
valuable work on the highway com
mission.' The governor made no reference to
Commissioner Sawyer, or to Mr.
Klein, both of whom have been un
der strenuous fire from the "black
top" interests through all of the
years since the highway commission
commenced to rule that material
out In Its consideration of highway
pavements.
Watson declared In his article
that "Brady, who is known where-
ever practical politics comes under
discussion in Oregon as tne most
astutely versatile political agent hi
the state, has for two weeks or more
oast has been occupying a special
suite of offices In the Multnomah
hotel but not In juxtaposition to
tlie general headquarters offices-
out of which he has been operating
n radically as the superceding di
rector aeneral of the Norblad cam
paign. Kenneth Hauser still Is the
nominal head of the headquarters
organization, but Brady Is the chief
strategist.
Considering the past record and
popular reputation of the Warren
organization in Oregon and else
where, the tactics which they have
utill.Td before the legislature and
elsewhere among public officials
having to do with paving projects,
Governor Norblad is under a moral
obligation to state his position fully
and without qualification as regards
to Issues raised by Mr. Watfon's
article.
He should at once determine and
announce exactly what part the
Warren company and its agents are
playing In the conduct of his cam
paign, who is paying for their op
erations in this respect, and what
motive inspires tliem.
He should state without equivo
cation what his future Intentions
are as regards removals from or ap
point menu to the highway com-
m Us ton.
He should state definitely, In view
of the accusations and the efforts
the "black top" interests have per
shtcntly made to secure the dismis
sal of Roy Klein as highway en
glnenr, whether Mr. Klein is to be
retained, or whether he Is to "walk
the plank."

NORBLAD TELLS
KIWANIS ABOUT
CANADA PACT
Friendly relations between tha
United States and Canada for a per
iod of 113 years are being observed
by Kiwanis clubs of these two na
tions this week with Governor A.
V7. Norblad, of Salem, speaking of
the Bagot-Rush treaty of 1817 be
fore the Salem club Tuesday noon.
Governor Norblad will speak on this
subject at the dedication of the
Shrine peace monument in Toronto
in June, to which governors of au
states have been Invited.
History books used In publio
schools dwell too much upon the
heroes of war and too little upon
the heroes of peace, Governor Nor
blad said In speaking of this treaty
or "gentlemen's aTreement.'- These
texts are silent upon the treaty and
few even mention It or the separa
tion of Sweden and Norway In 1903
through similar peaceful negotia
tions, he said.
Though rifts have occurred be
tween the two nations since the
treaty was adopted, once during the
period of the Canadian revolution
In 1837 and again during the Civil
war, there have been no permanent
armed forces along the border. The
original agreement provided that no
warcraf t would be maintained . by
cither nation In waters upon which
each bordered, applying chiefly to
the Great Lakes.
The original agreement arose from
the friendship of Charles Bagot,
British representative to the United
States, and Charles Rush, under sec
retary of state at that time. Kusn
suggested tha matter which was
taken up and carried to a harmoon
tous close by Bagot
APRIL COURT TERM
HERE CONCLUDED
Anril term of circuit court in
Judge Kelly's department closed
Monday when a jury in the dam
age case of Susie A. Litchfield
against the Portland-Albany Truck:
line returned a verdict of 500 lor
the plaintiff.
Judge Kelly also Heard a plea oi
guilty to a forgery charge by El-
rod Lockett who was sentenced to
four years in the penitentiary and
his sentence suspended. He forged
the name of a J. Yates to a check
for $67.50. Suspension of sentence
was during the good behavior ol
the accused.
The grand Jury was selected for
the May term of court made up
follows: Sun T. Etzel, uona
Johnson, Anna Hadley, Theodore
Rubens, Munda B. Cribble, Wil
liam E. Savage and Clyde Kelty,
foreman. The May term starts on
May 12 and May t and 10 have
been set aside for hearing motions
and settling cases.
Mrs. M. B. Wagstaft will assume
the duties of Mrs. Eric Butler as
employment secretary of the x. w.
C. A. Thursday. May 1. Mrs. Butler
has resigned from the staff after
nearly two years of service.
Inject "black top" Into the highway
paving program In defiance of the
Judgment of .the commission and
its engineers and against popular
preference for concrete paving, to
be displaced prior to or at tne ex
piration of his term of office?
Likewise, he should make puouo
the considerations which moved him
to withhold the recent appointment
of C. E. Gates to the commission
until after several conferences had
been held and some pressure ex
erted by Gates' friends, and frankly
state whether or not Gates' position
relative to the use of patented
black ton" In paving state high
ways, or his position as regards
Klein's retention or dismissal en
tered In any manner Into the con
versations over his reappointment.
If Oovernor Norblad does not
know with whom Ous Moser, Seneca,
Pouts. Jay Upton. "Bill" Banks ana
the rest of his recognised "kitchen
cabinet" is making campaign alli
ances and otherwise obtgatlng him
by Inference or otherwise It Is time
he was finding out ana making
some repudiations.
That Norblad should entertain tne
counsel and advice of 8enUr
Moser, by those efforts he was ele
vated to the presidency of tne sen
ate and thus on Into the governor
ship, Is generally uncirstood and
respected. But in the Brady Inci
dent his close campaign contact
with the others Is embarasslng In
Heht of the fact that they havt
been generally recognised allies If
