Wolf Denies Story
Of Student Dope Ring
But Inquiry Underway
There is no positive evidence that any student in Salem
high school is a member of a
boys of high school age which
authorities, according to principal
Fred Wolf of Salem high school.
Wolf received the names of several
suspects from police authorities who
conferred with him about the ' dope
ring" a week ago, and since wen
has had teachers and the physical
education Instructor checking on
the boys. He stated that the sus
pected students were normal In
classroom work and showed no evi
dence at any tune of being under
the Influence of narcotics or other
drugs.
Whether the suspected boys were
members of the high school basket
ball squad, as has been rumored,
Wolf did not state.
Mr. Wolf, however, was much ex
ercised over the idea of connecting
high school students with the sup
posed ring of dope-eaters. He stated
that the majority of tne boys in
the ring, he understood, were boys
who were not students at any
schools, Just loiterers about the
streets, or "town bums", as he clas
sified them.
"The public Is quick to blame the
high school kids when a bunch of
boys of the same age, town bums,
get into trouble, Principal Wolf
said. "Probably some of the high
school kids are mixed up in the
mess, we're not denying it, but I've
never noticed any evidence among
the students in the classroom
about the building, or any effect
in their work. We're doing all we
can to Help the high school author
ities run down the peddler or ped
dlers who give such stuff to th
kids. Of course, the boys who take
the done are responsible, but we
all realize how easy It is for boys
to get mixed up In a mess like that.
According to my personal feelings,
hanging is too good for a bird like
that, who will give dope to young
boys and girls and try to wreck
their lives."
"We're doing all we can to assist
the authorities, contmued Wolf.
But I would like to have a bit
more cooperation from them my
self. I understood they got hold of
a gang of high school boys for
petty thievery, and I'd like to know
more about it. We can't have kids
like that running loose around the
school. There's a lot of thievery
that goes on around here, too,
right here in the building. Lots
of books are stolen. There's no need
for stealing books, for we wlil make
things easy for any kid that comes
in and says he hasn't money enough
to get books, or to dress decently
for school. We'll see he's taken care
of. But 90 per cent of the kids
that take another student's books
arc kids whose parents -are amply
able to buy books for tlfem. Of
course, somo kids are Just careless
and leave their books on top of
their lockers, or don't lock their
lockers; ond I always think they
are partly to blame with their own
carelessness and tell them so.
"But, Just the same, the majority
of kids in the school are decent,
and we're proud of them," added
Wolf.
City and county authorities were
not so well-pleased with what Wolf
had to say about dope-peddling
among high school students. It is
understood that the story which
Wolf gave to a newspaper reporter
Tuesday night placed police authoi
Ities in an embarrassing position
as they had not completed their
Investigations of the dope-ring sit
uation.

WOOLWORTH SUIT
After two and a half years of
court battles James McGilchiist of
Salem has won his suit against the
F. W. Woolworth company, ac
cording to. word brought to Salem
from Portland Wednesday by Mc
Gilchiist. The trial which had ex
tended over a period of three days
In Judge Tazwell's court In Port
land ended Wednesday morning
when a Jury brought in a verdict In
favor of McGllchrist for all that
he had asked for a sum slightly In
excess of $2800. The amount asked
for by McGllchrist in his suit was
the difference between what the
company had paid him while he
was In the employ of the Woolworth
company and what he would have
received if they had paid him $50
a week as manager.
McOilchrlst went to work for the
company in a subordinate capacity
with the understanding that he was
to be given a store. He was denied
this position, however, when the
concern made a ruling that no man
over 40 years of age would be plac
ed in the management of a store.
It Is likely the case will be ap
pealed to the supreme court by the
store company.
OREGON DEBATERS
DELAYED ENROUTE
Fresno, Cal. My-Mystery sur
rounding the failure of two teams
from the Oregon State college to
appear here Tuesday night for de
bates with the Fresno State college
was dispelled Wednesday with the
receipt of a telegram from the
manager of the Oregon team in
Redding, saying tliat an automobile
accident had delayed their trip and
that they would arrive In Fresno
Wednesday. The party Is traveling
by automobile.
The telegram as received by How
ard E. Potter, Fresno State college
debate coach, said:
"Redding, account accident we
arrive in Fresno tomorrow. Would
like to debate then should you be
willing."
It was signed by Gordon Winks,
Oregon manager.
The Oregon party consisted of
George Hartley, Oordon Winks,
Alice Imralls and Dorothy Dm
schell. Whether or not anyone was
hurt In the accident was not known
here.
Potter expressed htrruelf as wil
ling to hold the debate Wednesday
night.
Twenty-nine cities of Uie United
States now are equipped with police
radio systems.
REFUND BILL
IS SENT BACK
House bill 298, providing for an
Immediate refund of $894,458.35,
collected by the state tax commis
sion under the intangible tax act
that was later declared unconsti
tutional, did not come up as a
special order In the house Wednes
day as scheduled. Instead the spon
sors of the bill have agreed, accord
ing to Representative Allan Bynon,
one of the Introducers of the bill,
to send it back to the committee
for amendment to harmonize with
the program of the three taxation
and revenue committees of the
house, and senate. This was agreed
to oy Kepreaentatlves Bynon and
Homer D. Angell as leaders of the
refund movement.
Tlie bill Is to be sent to the com
mittee on constitutional law. The
amendment will provide that the
money be refunded if and when the
united States supreme court re
fuses to take jurisdiction of the in
tangibles tax case or sustains the
opinion of the state supreme court
wiucn neia tne old act unconstitu
tional. It will be further provided
that If the refund is made it will
be accompanied by interest at the
legal rate from the time the state
supreme court refused a rehearing
ol the case to the time the refund
is made.
Tliis agreement doubtless will
make It much easier sledding for
the revised tax program that has
oeen formulated by the tax com
mittees, since the determined con
tention for an immediate refund
has been one of the obstacles in the
way or tax legislation.
HELD KIDNAPED
San Diego. Cal. MV-Results from
what was believed to be the first
real clue to the whereabouts of
little Virginia Brooks, ten-year-old
school girl who dropped from sight
a week ago Wednesday on her way
irom ner nome to scnool here, were
expected at an hour early Wednes
day by the sheriff's office. New
hope in the search was lent by
message sent from Arizona late
Tuesday by Deputy Sheriff Blake
Mason, who had been sent from San
Diego, that a girl answering the
description of Virginia Brooks had
been seen at Tatrna, near Wellton,
Ariz., Saturday and Sunday and
that she had been with a man of
about 50 years who was supposed to
oe or posed as ner father.
Mason went to Phoenix in pur
suit of a small automobile in which
the man and girl were traveling, but
did not find thein there Tuesday
night so far as the sheriff's office
here knew, The pair left Tacna
Monday.
Sheriff Cooper, from his office
here sent telegrams all over the
southwest Tuesday night and early
Wednesday In an effort to head
off the pair, who were supposed to
be headed for Kansas according to
Information sent from Phoenix here.
The man and girl were held up
two clays at Tacna by flooded nlgn
ways.

term butot from the January term
to the February term."
"Well, draw an order anyway."
said the court, "and I will look into
it when I have time away from tills
case."
In the meantime the grand Jury
had been sitting in its room upstairs
awaiting word from Judge McMa
han aa to what course to pursue.
It was thought at first that the
five Indictments last returned by the
grand Jury including the two O -Leary
indictments had come in un
der the February term but investi
gation proved they were returned
on January 28.
However, if as District Attorney
Carson Intimates the law precludes
this grand Jury from further sitting,
It will virtually mean that all tin1
Investigation work which has been
going on at the statehouse and the
courthouse may have to be done
over again by another grand Jury, if
the line of inquisition taken up by
this jury is followed by another.
There is also the Luner presentment
and other matters which this jury
Is known to have had under consid
eration, all of which may have to
be abandoned.
The district attorney stated. If his
Interpretation of the law Is correct.
It is doubtful If the grand Jury can
draw Its pay for this term of court.
"Unices the court orders a con
tinuance," said the district attorney.
"It is my opinion of the law that
when the term of court ends, the
grand Jury's office ends unless the
court makes another definite order
continuing Us duties for the term."
Both County Clerk Boyer and
Court Clerk Lamkin stated no such
order had been entered and the rec
ords fall to reveal one.
"I doubt very much," said the dis
trict attorney, "If the court has au
thority to draw an order now and
ante-date it to the beginning of the
term."

LEGGE SEEKS
(Continued from page 1)
acting the legislation.
Legge said the flexible provisions
of the tariff are inoperative on ag
ricultural products because farmers
do not keep cost accounts and the
tariff commission is required to
base Its recommendations en prices
over "a representative peiiod of
time."
He said the commission interprets
this language to mean two years.
"My approach to the tar lit la not
that of a high tariff advocate,"
Legge said, "but I feel in this emer
gency our first duty is to the peo
ple here at home. The world is in
the greatest duress of our life
time."
Legge said an embargo would not
have a good effect on our foreign
relations but that other countries
have had embargoes from time to
time. He said France has a practical
embargo on wheat at the present
time.
"Tlipre are several things In this
tariff on agriculture I cannot un
derstand at all," he continued. "For
example, we could use cereal grains
in the production of industrial al
cohol, yet we Import practically all
of this product. The tariff on wheat
la 42 cents a bushel but you can
crack wheat and bring In mill feed
at 10 per cent ad valorem."
Legge said the farm board is
holding through Its stabilization
corporation about 100,000.000 bush
els of cash wheat and a large
amount of contracts fn addition. He
set the visible supply in the United
States at about twice the farm
board holdings.
He termed wheat prospects west
of the Mississippi good but less
fuvorable in the east.

SALEM'S CHANCE
TO WIN HEALTH
CONTEST GOOD
Salem has an excellent oppor
tunity to win the Inter-chamber
health community contest spon
sored by the Chamber of Com
merce of the United States, in Hs
contest division, according to Dr.
Vernon A. Douglas, county health
officer, who with Charles Wilson,
secretary to the local chamber of
commerce, has completed tne con
test entry blank. The entrance
blank Is required to be in the Wash
ington, D. C. office of the na
tional chamber of commerce by
March 1.
Dr. Douglas based his predictions
on Salem's favorable chance by
comparison with the statistics of
health work with which Whit
Plains, New York, won the inter
chamber contest last year. In the
same class that Salem Is now en
tered in. In many instances, Sa
lem's record of health work exceeds
that shown by White Plains, accord
ing to Dr. Douglas.
The report is especially .Inter
esting since it is the first health
report ever to be made of Salem
alone. All other reports compiled
by tlie health department have
been made on Marlon county as a
whole.
Outstanding features of the re
port, acoordlng to the health offi
cer, is Salem's record in the de
crease of diphtheria and tubercu
losis. There has been but one death
from diphtheria Inside the city
limits during the past five years.
During the previous five years, 31
deaths from diphtheria were re
ported from Salem. Tuberculosis
deaths in Salem have been reduced
from 17 deaths in 1921 to five
deaths in 1B30. There have been
but two deaths from smallpox In
the capital city during the past ten
yeai-3. Infant deaths decreased from
30 in 1922 to 12 In 1930. At present
there are 42 cases of tuberculosis
under supervision in Salem, 21 of
the cases being reported for the
flr3t time during 1930. There were
no maternal deaths in Salem dur
ing 1930, according to the records.
Tlie contest blanks allows that
3,315 gallons of milk were distri
buted in Salem each day during the
past year, and that 85 percent of
this milk was pasteurized. All raw
milk sold In Salem comes from tu
berculin tested cows.
The number of clinical examina
tion were difficult to secure, as
work done by private physicians
along this line had to be estimated.
Health unit statistics showed that
174 Salem babies were examined 313
times during the past year and 198
preschool children were examined
fonts and preschool children, in
addition to the numbers listed
above, were examined by prlvata
physicians.
The per capita cost for health In
Salem runs slightly over the dol
lar mark, since the costs for in
cineration and garbage collection
are added to all other costs of
health service In the blank re
quired by the inter-chamber com
munity contest.
Dr. Douglas said that the contest
blank was a very searching study
of results obtained from health
work, and that he was confident
Salem would make an excellent
allowing among cities of its own
size in health work.
