Jng. Sales below quotations estab
lished are practically as of liberal
volume as those made at the mark.
Butterfat market remains or stea
dy character. Prices offered in Port
land and at country stations are
practically uniform, considering the
cost of handling.
Trading in the egg market con
tinues practically steady here and in
most of the leading markets of the
' country. Production appears at the
flush or slightly beyond it. Demand
is taking care of all offerings.
According to the Portland Produce
- company, some increase In offerings
of lightweight broilers. Leghorns, Is
causing a slight reaction in the price
although heavy broilers and all hens
- are in better call than supply.

has settled around 16-17c pound for
the better class stuff with a fair
movement at the range. Receipts
continue very liberal. There is much
ordinary to poor stuff.
Some increase Is noted In the vol
ume of offerings of country killed
lambs. Market remains in rather
good shape although former extreme
values are no longer available. Stuff
that weighs less than 25 pounds
hard to move.

here for country killed hogs. Late
arrivals have been of fair volume
but the call for the better class light
blockers has been fully as good. Most
of the sales of these 15 to 151sC
pound.
With decreased offerings here, due
principally to the fact that weather
conditions are not right In the south,

bage In the south, some talk rite
here.

BANK RATE CUT
TO 3PER CENT
New York lPl The New York
federal reserve bank Thursday re
duced Its rediscount rate to three
per cent from 32.
The reduction was unexpected In
financial circles, although the Bank
of England and the Bank of France
had cut their rates earlier in tne
dav.
Only once before In the local
bank's history has the rediscount
figure been as low as 3 per cent
from August 8, 1924 to February 27,
1925.
The 3'i per cent rate has been
in effect since March 1.

years In advance of the primaries.
Another ol my opponents an

merely by filing their names with

New legislation should also take
Into account the necessity of check
ing up of money expenditure In a
campaign as against opposition in
the form of patronage innuence,
patronage promises and the use of
payrollers in canvassing the dis

lic interest and In Justice to the

Mrs. Mccormick left a thick vol
ume showing receipts and expendi
tures for inspection by the commit

total of $24,493.21. .
The largest Item in the expense

budgets." She explained this was for
organization activities In the various
counties.
Other items In the McCormlck ac
count were:
Printing $26,556: newspaper ad
vertising $15,650: postage $12,432.
Senator Deneen said his expendi
tures which he was required under
law to report only amounted to $10,-
180.
However, he filed a supplementary
report showing additional expendi
tures of $14,312 which he said had
been used In his campaign.
The committee held a lengthy
closed session after Mrs. Mccormick
testified.
In connection with his subsequent
announcement, Chairman Nye indi

BEARS HAMMER
STOCK MARKET
TO LOW LEVEL
New York (IP) May Day was
field day for the bears In the stock
exchange and they hammered down
stocks best Issues making the most
severe declines.
According to preliminary calcula
tions the Dow Jones and company
Industrial average declined 3.53 to
275.70 and the railroad average 4.45
to 140.63.
Sales for the day totaled 4.640.350
shares, compared with 4,553,360 Wed
nesday.
United States Steel broke through
180 and regained only a small part
of Its loss. Other leading industrials
met equal pressure, while rails were
demoralized in the liquidation.
A discouraging factor was that
trading increased in volume Indicat
ing liquidation was in progress. The
fact that the Morgan stocks, steel.
United Corporation, and the Van
Swerlngen rails, were under pressure
had a bad influence.
For a time it was believed that
steel selling was coming from those
close to the management. Later Jt
was reported .that the unloading was
for the account of a prominent Bri
tish capitalist.
Rumors were thick. Bulls turned
bearish but did not go short of the
market. Many of the shorts were,
bearish as ever but they covered
short lines on the lows and this
buying was responsible for a rally
just before the close. Steel common
did not hold the recovery however.
One unconfirmed story in the
street was that the banking group
which had taken large blocks of Steel
in the autumn break was still li
quidating. Several weeks ago it was
announced by the J. P. Morgan of
fices that the banking group had
sold all its stock taken during the
break.
Southern Railway broke to a new
low since 1B25 at 101 off 3! from
the previous close. Erie made a new
low for the year, below 48 and wide
declines took place in Missouri-Kansas,
Texas, Alleghany corporation.
New Haven, Canadian Pacific and
Baltimore & Ohio.
With United States Steel down
more than 3 points leading indus
trials gave ground 1 to 3 points. Ra
dio Corporation eased off below the
previous close. Amusements were
down with the general list as were
electrical equipments and special is
sues, notably J. I. Case which at one
time was down IS points at 330.
Oils reacted, the leaders of the
last few days suffering most severe
ly. Standard of New Jersey broke
more than 2 points and Standard of
New York more than a point.
Call money held at 4 per cent all
day. Time money rates eased off.
Bankers acceptance rates were re
duced.

Repeating his now oft-told tale
in the section of the Polk county
jail at Dallas reserved for Juveniles
and minor offenders, Lawson made
a favorable impression upon inter
viewers. ' I had been working In the gar
den about 8:30 o'clock when I saw
a squirrel in a big tree in the yard,"
the youth started out. "Mr. Dick
inson had always wanted us to kill
any of these squirrels. I went into
the house and got the shotgun
from its place beneath the stairs
and went outside. Mrs. Dickinson
was sitting in a chair, sewing. When
I got outside the squirrel was gone.
I went back into the house, tak
ing the gun, and had Just entered
the room in which Mrs. Dickinson
was sitting. I did not stop to take
out the shell," Lawson continued,
"but was walking slowly. I must
have had my finger on the trigger
and the hammer caught on my
clothes. The next thing I knew
the gun went off."
Mrs. Dickinson threw up her
hands but made no sound, slumping
In the chair, Lawson declared. He
was badly frightened and din not
stop to see how badly she was In
jured. He then went upstairs and
changed his clothes to a clean shirt
and pair of light colored corduroy
pants such as most schoolboys wear.
The gun was placed in the bathroom
instead of Its customary place.
"I was too frightened to think of
anything other than getting to Port
land and seeing my father," Law-
son said. "I got the sedan out of
the garage and started for Indepen
dence. I knew there was not much
oil aa I had heard Mr. Dickinson
say so, and when I got to Brunk's
corner, I bought another quart."
lawson said he did not drive rast.
but had little money. By the time
he reached Oregon City he began to
think that perhaps he might be ar
rested for driving the machine, so he
amandoned It i the street where
it was later found by the sheriff's
office.
Taking a bus into Portland, young
Lawson first went to the home of
his father, W. L. Lawson. S1B. Wil
liams avenue, and then to the Al
blna shops of the O.-W. R. A N.
railroad where his father Is employ

city, Lawson told his father that
that morning two strange men had
entered the Dickinson home, ran
sacked the property and forced him
to drive away, leaving the machine
at Oregon City. The senior Lawson
advised telling the story to the po
lice which he did.
The officer to whom young Law-
son told this story wanted to check
up on some details and asked him
to sit down. By this time tt was just
3 o'clock and word had reached the
detective devision that he was want
ed for questioning in connection
with the death of Mrs. Dickinson.
Word drifted upstairs that he was
In the building and the officers took
him Into custody. A few minutes

boyish story was discredited and his
own account of the tragedy substi
tuted. Several hours of questioning
failed to break him down or to in

ner. All were satisfied that the story
told was the truth and he was re
leased to Sheriff T. B. Hooker and
brought back to Dallas about 10:30
o clock.
Mrs. Dickinson will be burled
from the Keeney Funeral parlors
Saturday afternoon at 2 o clock with
Rev. Charles Dunsmore officiating
ana interment m the l. v. o. r. cem

Mrs. Dickinson had spent her en
tire life in Polk county and was the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel
Goff, early residents of the county.
She was the mother of three chil
dren. Pauline, who is teaching at
the Chapman school near Scappoose;
Mrs. Roy O. Younjr, (Marian), of
Salem and Alvin, 9, who is attend
ing the Independence schools. The
youth, who admits he will be "nine

nis teacner wnue Mr. and Mrs.
Young arrived early in the after
noon. Miss Paulin? Dickinson ar
rived home early Wednesday eve
ning. The body of Mrs. Dickinson was
discovered by her husband at noon
Wednesday and was in a chair in
the living room of their home. From
its position it was impossible to as
certain whether or not she had been
seated or standing at the time the
fatal chare was fired.
Apparently Mrs. Dickinson had
completed her morning housework
and was engaged in sewing, as she
was working on a dress at the time
ihe met her death. One finger bore
a thimble, mute evidence of her oc
cupation in a housewife's task. The
time of death is tentatively estab
lished at around 9:30 o'clock, or
perhaps a little earlier, because the
morning routine had been complet
ed. The body was found in a chair.
with the arms thrust backward
through a portion of the ba:-k of the
chair.
George Dickinson, her husband.
was engaged in dUcing at the farm
of his brother, Henry M. Dickinson,
which adjoins his property. The two
men had often exchanged work, one
helping the other, in the routine of
farm life. The disc was operated by
a tractor.
When the noon hour arrived the
husband of the slain woman had
almost made uj) his mind to have
lunch at his brother s place, when it
occurred to hlnr that perhaps his
wife had made preparations for him
at home, so the original plan was
abandoned. Had the invitation been
accepted it is not probable that the

and combing his hair. He noticed
his wife was not at the rear of the
houre and upon entering the living
room discovered her body.
Dale Lawson, who is 15 and large
for his age, aroused the interest
of Miss Dickinson while she was
teaching school near Dallas and she
felt sorry for the youth, whose par
ents live In Portland and who are
separated. She took him to her
fathers home Just 13 months ago,
where he was received, according to
neighbors, as a son. In fact, dis
cipline was lighter than If he had
been a blood relative, and the only
thing denied him was the use of
the family sedan with which he
fled from the scene. He was en
gaged In light chores about the
farm and attended school In Inde
pendence. Many neighbors and friends of
the Dickinsons' called during the
afternoon, offering their sympathy
and assistance in any way that
could be used.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Dickinson had
made their home on their farm

Young Lawson quit school about
three weeks ago. The explanation
of this was, as given by Dickinson,
that the lad's father Intended to
send him to Benson Polytechnic
school in Portland next year and
that his credits from Independence
high school, where he was a first
year student, would be of no par
ticular value to him.
The boy's father, M. W. Lawnon
of Portland, remarried after the
divorce from the lad's mother. His
mother Is a professional nurse, and
Dickinson believes she lives In Spo
kane. Dickinson had only praise for the
boy as he had known him for 13
months that he had lived at the
farm, and said be would make no
statement about the shooting until
the truth had been ascertained by
the officers.

February to Charles S. Wood of
Philadelphia, which expressed the
opinion that President Hoover "is
beginning to doubt whether prohi
bition can be enforced."
Stayton said he drew this "in
ference" after appearing before the
law enforcement commission at its
request and after talking with sen
ators and representatives.
He said the members of the com
mission asked him "many ques
tions" concerning what might be
substituted and that he offered a
suggestion.
Pressed by Caraway to tell what
the members of the commission told
him Stayton replied:
"They said they were trying to
work out some other plan for dis
tribution of liquor other than under
present law.'
Secretary Adams said there was
no justification whatsoever for Mr.
Stayton's assertion that he had op
posed the prohibition amendment.
The secretary declined to elaborate
on other phases of Mr. Stayton's
remarks.

statements. Secretary Lamont said
he had not discussed the question

There is no foundation for the

citizen I was a member of the As
sociation Against the Prohibition

ing the cabinet and have not dis
cussed the subject since."
Chairman Caraway read a letter
written by the witness on March 9,

As a matter of iact. six out oi
the ten men in Mr. Hoover's cab

Of course, they are not going to

to feel that six of the ten leading

is a failure."

of no new plan being considered
by the commission for the distri

Thursday before the senate lobby
committee as having; said.
Colonel Anderson said there "was
nothing to if when asked regarding
testimony by William H. Stayton,
chairman of the board of the Asso

Hoover commission, including An

came down from a hill near the
house.
Campbell said he had seen two
50-pound boxes of dynamite and
25 sticks of the explosive in a sack
in a woodshed behind the house
Siindsv. The shed was not destrov-

ed by the blast. Officers Thursday
found one box? and the sack in the
place the boy had seen them. The
second box was not there.
Mangled remains of the bodies of
a man and woman were found in
the bedroom. They had been asleep
an hour, Campbell said, when the
explosion occurred. The condition
of the bodies indicated the blast
had been near -the heads of the
sleepers. The house was on a side
hill with the lower side on stilts.
A person could easily have walked
under tt to plant the blast. j
Officials said they are without a
clue to motive for' premeditated
murder. The Northrups had lived
for twenty years in the district and
had no enemies. They were not
in debt.
Violence of the -blast was Indi
cated by destruction of the housee.
The bed was blown 200 feet away.
Nothing but splintered timbers and
charred remains of the resulting
fire was left of the house.
The Northrups had lived in that
section about IB years and thus far
nothing has been learned which
would give any plausible clue. Their
38-acre ranch Is of the finest soil
and was fully paid.
They had ten registered head oi
dairy stock, also fully paid, and other
articles which likewise were paid
for. While it Is stated they had
but few visitors they are not known
to have had any enemies.
The Northrups were middle-aged,
and had three children. A son. M.
Allen Northrup, is a student at Wil
lamette university, Salem. A mar
ried daughter lives in Portland.
Allen Northrup, whose parents
were killed Wednesday night in a
dynamite explosion which occurred
in their home near Vancouver,
Wash., was a former student at
Willamette university and during
the past two years has been an em
ploye of the Bluebird restaurant on
State street. He left early Thurs
day morning for his home alter he
had been informed by a long dis
tance call that his parents had been
in a "terrible accident."
Jack Hughes, proprietor of the
restaurant and employes of that
place expressed deep resret at learn

rup's life. Northrup has made a

Mr. Patton also called on Mr. j

as saying that he is actuated only ,
by his friendship for Norblad in the

he likewise actively supported the i
late Governor Patterson In his last
campaign.
"Brady felt that he needed rooms
in the hotel to meet and entertain
out-of-town visitors," said Patton.
Patton said that he felt Qafprnor
Norblad should, in the light of the
Brady incident and the unsavory po
litical history of the "black top"
trust in Oregon politics, make an
unequivocal statement repudiating
the support of the Warren company
and Hs political agents, and declare
himself openly for the continued re
tention of Roy Klein, state highway
engineer who has been the target for
repeated attacks from the "black

and for the reappointment and con
tinuation in office of the highway
commissioners who have supported
Klein's recommendations in writing
royalty-burdened patented "black

ON FERN RIDGE
ROAD PROJECT
Work is getting under way on
the Improvement of the Fern ridgo
market road from Stayton up, wlto
a big caterpillar being sent to Stay
ton Thursday to start work on some
corners that are to be cut in the
north city limits of Stayton and
Billy Mcllwaine, road foreman who
will have charge of the work, is
clearing the right of way for the
balance ot the work on the road.
The Coon Hollow road in that
section of the county will also be
improved this year and work there
will also be in charge of Mcllwaine.
Work will start there as soon as
arrangements can be made.
The county will have four fore
men in charge of road work this
year, the men being Lester Van
Cleave, John Griesenauer, Lee Wells
and Billy Mcllwaine. At times the
foremen will work two roads at once
having a straw boss on each road
and the foreman being in general
charge of both jobs in order to ex
pedite the work.
County Commissioner Porter states
that all of the Fern Ridge and Coon
Hollow road work it Is possible to
do will be put over this summer
with good sized crews working.
If present weather conditions con
tinue it is likely crews will be go
ing out on other road work rapid
ly. Work on the Grabenhorst mar
ket road cut off from Pringle to
Parific highway is now under way.
With four foremen in charge of
jobs it will be possible for each
foreman to have a big caterpillar
under his control and make the
press of the work more regular
anj ea&y than when the work was
-spread out more and delays were
caused by transfers of caterpillars
lrom one job to another and back.
