EXPOSURE OF
GRAFT LOOMS
Chicago (IP) The most sensation
al exposure of police and political
graft in Chicago history was
threatened Saturday after Mrs.
Shirley Kub, former police spy, had
maue good her promise to "tell ail"
rather than remain In Jail for con
tempt of court,
Mrs. Kub, who once was quoted
as boasting she knew enough about
graft "to blast half the politicians
and policemen In the city out of
their Jobs." was released early Sat
urday morning by a special grand
Jury before which she had testi
fied almost continuously for 15
hours.
"Now I want to go home," she
said, almost crying, as she ended
the long session. It was expected
she would be released from Jail
later Saturday.
Mrs. Kub formerly was an under
cover agent for acting Police Com
missioner Alcock. She was dis
missed by Alcock for failing to re
port to him all she learned.
Mrs. Kub gained public attention
in January when the special jury
was investigating the case of Police
Sergeant Jack Herdegen, who was
dismissed from tlie force after his
former sweetheart, Beruice Shaw,
testified that Jack Zuta, a gang
leader, had furnished $1,500 which
Herdegen used to buy a promotion.
PRINCE FLIES
WITHOUT COAT
Buenos Aires, (J, The Prince of
Wales left Saturday at noon for
Montevideo in one of a fleet of
three hydro-airplanes of the Ar
gentina navy, and escorted by two
other airplanes.
Before his departure the Prince
of Wales had become a second
member, with Admiral Byrd, of fa
mous men who lost their overcoats.
The prince's plane was about to
take off when he discovered he did
not take his top coat, which appar
ently had been left at tlie British
embassy.
A launch immediately returned to
the Ramp where an officer saw a
pile of flying coats stacked up. He
asked if one belonged to the prince
but was informed that they were
aviator's coats and there was none
available for his highness. So, un
less one was improvised aboard the
plane, the prince made the Journey
to Montevideo without a coat In
spite of the chilly weather.
Wales and his brother, Prince
George, who came here a fortnight
ago to open the British trade ex
position, reacho". the end of their,

HOODLUMISM
MAY LOSE QUINT
TOURNAMENT
The Oregon High School Athletic
association, meeting Saturday af
ternoon was expected to take some
action regarding the criticism voiced
from various sources In connection
with the so-called unsportsmanship
attitude of certain of the roosters
who have been attending the con
tests of the 12th annual interschol
astlc basketball tournament. And
since Salem has been the host city
to the other 11 competing teams It is
likely that if any resolutions of con
demnation are passed tne rooters
from this place will be held respons
ible. It was learned Saturday morning
that Portland is seriously consider
ing withdrawing from further com
petition in the state tournament, de
claring that their teams, especially
Jefferson, have not been treated in
a courteous manner. Friday after
noon when Jefferson came onto the
floor prior to competing with Pen
dleton, a chorus of boos and cat-calls
emanated Jrom the section occu
pied by students at Salem high. This
occurrence is largely responsible for
the attitude taken by the Portland-
ers.
Some persons who have been at
tending the games express the opin
ion that students attending Baiera
high are not responsible for the dis.
courtesies. They place the blame
upon former graduates.
The board met in executive
sion.
The Oregon High School Athletic
association at a meeting here Sat
urday voted to accept the invitation
of athletic departments of the Uni
versity of Oregon and Oregon State
Agricultural college to hold a com
bined relay and track and field
tournament at those Institutions on
alternate years beginning in 1932.
Heretofore the relays and track
and field meets have been separate
with one of the institutions of high
er education sponsoring one event,
while tlie other took charge of the
other. Details of the arrangement
will be worked out at a meeting to
be held next fall. The agreement
will not change the situation this
year.
THOMAS ASKED
TO CUT RATES
The first move against a major
utility since Oregon's new one man
public service commission replaced
the three-man commission under an
act of the recent legislature was
made Saturday when a complaint
demanding a reduction in telephone
rates was filed with Commissioner
Charles M. Thomas against the Pa
cific Telephone & Telegraph com
pany. The plaintiff is the Western
Merchants and Manulacturers'
sociation, and the complaint was
filed by the association's attorney,
Elton Watklns of Portland.
The complaint alleges that the
rates, tolls and other charges im
posed by the telephone company for
service to Oregon patrons are unjust
and unreasonable and, in certain
instances, discriminatory.
After a hearing, which the com
missioner is asked to set, the com
plaint demands that a reduction In
rates be made and the utility be
required to make Its charges ac
cordingly. CANNERS AGAIN

"The canners, as an Industry, are
not interested in the ownership of
the water plant, whether owned by

Salem, but they do feel they are
entitled to filtered water for their

SAM LAUGHLIN -
TO GET AXE?
Information reaching Salem Sat
urday from Portland and emulat
ing from quarters close to Governor
Meier carries the unconfirmed
news that Charles T. Early, Port
land lumberman, and Arthur Law
rence. Corvallis. are to be new
members of the state industrial
accident commission by executive
appointment, representing the em
ployers and labor interests in tne
stated respectively.
The report is interpreted here as
meaning the removal of W. H. Fitz
gerald and Sam Laughlin, present
commissioners. Fitzgerald now
represents labor on the commission,
and Laughlin is the representative
of the employers.
The law governing appointments
to the accident commission pro
vldes that labor, the employers and
the people at large are to be rep
resented in ihe personnel of the
commission. It also specifies that
not more than two of the three
commissioners shall be members of
the same political party.
E. E. Bragg is the only democrat
on the commission and is the rep
resentative of the people at large.
DISEASE FOUND
IN INTERIOR
Point Barrow. Alaska UP) Al
though outbreaks are fewer, the
diphtheria epidemic that has held
this village in its firm grip for more
than two weeks still was raging
here Saturday, while efforts were
being made to obtain food and hos
pital supplies from outlying trading
posts.
A trapper, brought here from the
inland and a resident were the lat
est cases reported and two more
homes have been quarantined. Dr.
Henry Driest of the Presbyterian
hospital said the trapper's sickness
led him to believe persons as far
inland as 40 to 19 miles had been
exposed. The total number of cases
here exceeds SO. about the number
stricken In the Nome epidemic In
1924. when antitoxin was rushed
overland by relay dog teams from
Fairbanks. No deaths have occulted
here, however. Two supplies of
serum have been brought here from
Fairbanks by airplane and enough
is believed to be on hand to control
the disease, unless It spreads to the
east. The most urgent neea at me
present Is for food and supplies.
NEW SERUM FOR
DIPHTHERIA USED
A new serum for diphtheria im
munization will be used in Marlon
county health department clinics
from now on, according to Dr. Ver
non A. Douglas, county health of
ficer. The new scrum, toxoid, dif
fers from toxin antitoxin In that
but two doses are used. Instead of
three. Toxoid has a greater per
centage of immunity than the old
type of serum, but It also nas a
more decided reaction. It has been
used with decided success In other
parts of the country and Is not an
experiment by any means, accord
ing to tne health olficiaL
Toxoid was used for the first
time at the regular Saturday morn
ing clinic at the health center,
and will be used at succeeding Sat
urday clinics In addition to all other
clinics for diphtheria prevention.
Those children who have not com
pleted their protection by the tox
in antitoxin method will continue
to receive that type of serum until
tlie last of the three necessary
doses have been given. Toxin anti
toxin clinics will be held at St.
Paul and district tour next Friday
morning, with Dr. Douglas and
Dr. C. C. Dauer, county school
physician, in charge.

San Diego. Calif. OP) Armed
guards patrolled the vicinity of the
city Jail here Saturday as threats
were heard against the life of Don
ald Paul, 45, held for an asserted
attack upon a 10 year old girl.
Interest In Paul was heightened
because of the search for the killer
of Virginia Brooks, 10, over whose
body an Inquest was held Friday.
The Inquisition, however, was ab
ruptly halted after perfunctory
questions had been asked because
It was not deemed advisable to give
out information now In the bands
of Investigating officers.
A coroners Jury, however, re
turned a verdict that Virginia
came to her death at the hands of
a party or parties unknown" about
February 11, the date of ner kid

Mrs. John Brooks, mother oi tne
child, who collapsed when Virgin
la's body was found March 11
showed no emotion Friday. She
questioned Coroner Shester Guun
about the child's broken front tooth
and at first expressed doubt that
the body was that of Virginia
When the lid of the casket was
lifted, however, and the weather-
beaten skull was exposed by the
coroner, Mrs. Brooks admitted that
the teeth were those of Virginia.
Paul was arrested after two wom
en reported they had seen him at
tack a small child In his house.

He was held for questioning Into
Virginia's disappearance, although
he denied knowledge of the case,
CAUCUS TO SOLVE
WATER PROBLEM
(Continued from page 1)
the members of the council would
be held Saturday evening to discuss
the matter.
Before this caucus, It Is under
stood, will be two proposals:
1. That the city agree to with
draw its appeal on the charter
amendment suit now pending in the
courts, tender to the water com
pany a flat offer of $1,100,000 for
the plant as it now stands and au
thorize the company to proceed
with the completion for tlie addi
tional investment in the event of
cltr nurchase. A resolution embody
ing this offer was introduced at the
last meeting or me council by tne
utilities committee.
i. The offer of the company to
immediately resume work on the
filter in consideration of agreement
bv the cltv to arbitrate on the val
ue of the plant and to draw down
the anneal now pending.
Th third proposal under con
sideration Is that of Mayor Gregory,
who proposes that the city shall
continue with Its appeal of the
charter amendment case and force
construction of needed filtration
improvements, through application
of the "home rule" act passed by
the recent legislature, upon a hear
ing conducted by the city and an
order Issuing from tne council.
Of the three plans only one
holds out any prospect of bringing
about Immediate action to com
nlete the filter, the company's ar
bitration proposal. E. C. Elliott,
president of th company, has al
ready informed members of the
council that the company will not
accept the oifer of 11,100.000.
It Is, also, pretty plainly mat
cated that an attempt on the part
of the city to invoke the "home
rule" method of securing Improved
filtration facilities while the com
pany's investment In the plant Is
in leopard v bv reason of the nil
nlcipal ownership movement would
result in extended litigation ana
would provide no relief in the near
future from the threatened water
shortage during the coming sum
mer.

Gregorv said he had received no re
ply from the water company on his
request lor certain information re
gardlng the proposed filter, costs
of oocratlon and tne lite, in a in
ter written early In the week he
had asked the company to have
this information in his hands by
