PAGV. TEN' THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM. OREGON TUESDAY, APRIL 21, 1931 EGGS HELD TOO LOW FOR PROFIT BUTTER STEADY Portland U Heavier move ment of eggs Into local storage and generally along the coast Is con- firmed. This Is Uie direct result of a further lowering ot the price at eastern points. Values now offered lor Pacific coast eggs are so low that some operators refuse to make further sales or shipments at the moment. One Interest was reported as try Ing to advance the price of butter on the produce exchange while tell ing below the market for big chains There was, however, no change in tiuotattons. Limited trade Is reported in the market for live chickens with an Increasing supply reported from the country. This Included both light and medium weights. Turkeys con tlnue in call. Sharp cut In the price of live stock caused a general drop in the price of country killed lambs along the wholesale way with a general top selling mark of 18c for fancy Hoods, poor stuff slow. Lower prices are again being named for country killed veal and hogs along the street with general easiness In the entire trade. Sales of hogs show an extreme of 11 with top calves around 12Sc mostly. Stringent orders of the state dairy and food commissioner, have cut In half, at least, the normal ae- mand for strawberries In the Port land trade, while Seattle Is grabbing California berries at the lower Drlces. While there Is a rather fair vol ume of supplies of asparagus coin ing from the mid-Columbia, a gen eral cleanup Is reported with most sales of fancy at $1.40-$1.S0 dozen bunches to retailers. First carload of Cothella Crystal Wax onions of the season Is rolling toward Portland. It Is the first carload from the coast. Only one carload has arrived from Texas the season there being over almost as soon as it started Insofar as the coast Is concerned. Carload California cauliflower in with Sacramento $1.85-12. 00 crate. Small supplies of troll Chinook salmon caught off Warrcnton. There Is again a short supply of fresh crabs. New potatoes are weaker and lower; general b. C lb. ton. Fancy Arizona grapefruit Is ar riving and finding good sale. Potato market Is In a Jam for old crop. Little primary business. Mexican tomatoes are firmly priced at the new high mark. Artichoke movement is better than season, reports George Pear son, specialist. Spinach market is very firm with a local scarcity. Rhubarb Is finding a fairly steady sale. DOWNY MILDEW IN SILVERTON YARDS Downy mildew Is reported to have Tnade its first appearance this sea son In some hop yards near Silver ton. Samples were sent to the slate collei.-e with the report coming back that there was no question that the samples sent were those of the dow ny mildew. A report was also out as to some traces of It having anown up In the Arch Jcrman yard In the river bottoms north In the Clrarlakf section. The first step taken toward com batting the downy Is to go UirouRh the yard and pick the spikes. It Is stated Uiat an experiment Is being tried In some yards of lnnorulutlng the ground with bordeaux and while hoeing Is going on the ground hoed close around the hill and bor deaux dust sprayed In but it has not been determined how effective till practice will be In controlling thr disease.

Roarimaster Jolin.son reported thai Philip Pikhrr, coumy bridge man, completed rebuilding the county bridge between Ninara and Detroit MondHy. The offkinb from here ordered him to make some re pairs on the bridge at Gates and others on the bridge at Mill City in moving out Ills crow. The crew working clearing up the biK slide is still at work. The bin slides are being cleared up first. There were two of the big slides and Johnson estimates that per haps there were as many as a hun dred minor slides which came down and choked ditches and In some places t hrrau-nr d the road. He .stated he found onec place about 200 feet long which covered the road sufficiently to leave only room for a car to gt through. How ever, he said this was not a bad one and could be cleared away compar atively ea.vy. One place, he stated, the water came down the road for a distance washing off surface dirt and filling the ditches. But re pairs here can also be made hi a comparatively easy way. After the two big slides are cleaned away crews will tackle the little ones as they come to them and remove the dirt from the ditches lo handle any water that may come along.

STOCKS SUFFER SEVERE BREAK IN DAY'S TRADE New York IU)-Prlce on the New York 6 toe It exchange hit new low levels Tuesday with only brief periods of steadiness at the open ing and close. The Dow, Jones and Co., Indus trial average (preliminary calcula tlon) dropped to 156.76. off 6 65 points and a new low since 1927. The low of the bear market before Tuesday was made In December, 1930, at 151.51. The preliminary railroad average was down 1.91 point at 88.94, a new low for seven years. Sales totaled 2,000,000 shares, against 1,600,000 shares Monday. Trading volume continued light, Steel common broke below 128 for the first time since 1827; N. Y. C. came within a point of touching 100, selling the lowest In seven years; Westlnghouse Electric made a new low since 1927; Standard Oil of New Jersey was the lowest since The railroad group on the aver age made the lowest mark in six years. Industrials came close to penetrating the lows of the bear market made last December. Today's movement to lower lev els lacked the earmarks of a bear drive because of the lightness of the trading. It represented mostly tired liquidation. There was said to be a serious situation that would have to be righted before any attempt could be made to rally the market. Ru mors flew fast. Pessimism prevail ed. Principal pressure was exerted on the railroads, where Union Pacific made a new low since 1926 and Il linois Central made a record low. All rails suffered severe declines ranging to 6 points. Htorlts were circulated that east- em railroads executives and heads of labor unions had met to confer on the question of lowering wages and reducing hours of labor. Heaviest losers outside of the rails were the special Issues. New lows for the year or longer were made by Texas Gulf Sulphur, Vanadium. Paramount, Standard Oil of N. J., Standard of N. Y. Standard of California, Union Oil of California, Loew's, Continental Oil, Associated Apparel. Western Union. Packard, Ohio Oil, St Louis-San Francisco issues and Chesapeake corporation. Bonds sold off with stocks al though a few groups met support. drains closed irregular In a nar row range. Cotton gave ground. Call money held at l1. per cent. LESLIE P. T. A.

GUMFORWHEAT PLAN EXTENDED Chicago The gimi-for-wheat plan of the William Wrlgley J, com pany's Canadian branch has been extended, It was announced Tun day from May 1 to December 1. Under this plan the Wrigley r ganlration agrees to devote the pro ceeds of the gum salra In Canada to the purchase of Canadian wheat at priors ranging up to ti cents a bu sliel. Instead ot limiting its purchas es to 1.000,000 bushel, as at first announced, the company is now rea dy to buy 3.000.000 bundles. Salaries of British army officers will be reduced. Bigg er And Chickens Raised By Feeding Them Tobacco State Collecre. Pa. (AP) making them into bigger and better broilen at the Pennsyl vania State college. This same nicotine diet, in the fully grown old fowl, makes healthier : hens and roosters and, what is more, may emancipate their farm owners from having to keep them so closely watched for fear parasitical Infections that chickens may pick up when economically foraging for their own food A high percentage of nicotine In tobacco is the secret of the effec tiveness of the Penn Btate tobacco diet. The value of tobacco as vermldlcal agent In chicken feed has been recognized for years, but sometimes its use has yielded un certain results. It Is likely to make hens IU, some being more suscepti ble than others. Suspecting that the harm may come from other tobacco ingredi ents than nicotine, Dr. J. E. Hunt er and Dr. D. E. Haley of the de partment of agricultural and bio logical chemistry, have been feed ing tobacco rich in nicotine, a diet with less tobacco, but a bitter "kick." The material Is made by grinding the whole tobacco plant. The most successful brand Is a plant, nlco- tiana fustica, containing five per cent or more of nicotine. Tobacco with barely one per cent of nicotine has "decidedly harmful" results on chickens, the details of which the scientists promise to publish later. between me low ana uie nign nicotine types they are now seeking the "level" of nicotine content at which the best results may be ob tained. A wider range in effective plants may mean increased markets for tobacco fanners. The reason for the greater growth of baby chicks Is not wholly clear. It Is not necessarily ascribed to ni cotine. If the cause Is nicotine, then this Is something new in such effects, Dr. Haley says. Better health may come from the killing by nicotine of ascaridla lineata. commonly called round worm, a type of fowl parasite. To minimize attacks of these parasites farmers have been forced to raise their chickens on ground free from such organisms. Like boys with their first smokes, the chicks can be made 111 by too much tobacco at the start. And like the humans they develop "tolerance to Increased amounts." However, there Is no other paral lel between smoking and feeding tobacco to chickens. In smoking, nicotine's stimulation works through the blood and the nerves. In the chickens' diet it is only a disinfectant passing through the body, but not necessarily being ab sorbed Into the system, therefore, not affecting the flavor of meat or eBgs. PRISON HEARING ABRUPTLY CLOSES (Continued from page 1) fense attorney. John C. Veatch. who witn ucorge Joseph has been conducting the prosecution of Meyers for the gover nor, closed tne case witn a onei itatement and the board adjourned the meeting with the announcement that It would announce its decision at a later date. It was indicated that the decision would be reached by the board Wednesday. At the close of the presentation of the prosecution's case Governor Meier had sought to force the board to take an Immediate vote on the dismissal of both Meyers and Col onel Bartram, whose resignation is already in the hands of the board to be effective May I, without even so much as giving the defense an opportunity to be heard. As S. o. Mills, Aumsvuie nax grower, was excused from the stand after testifying and being cross ex amined on his dealings with the stale flax plant. Governor Meier rose, announced that in oraer mat the hearing might not be unduly prolonged In the face of disturbing and dangerous unrest existing at the prison he was concluding his case, offered to the board two pre pared resolutions, one demanding the Immediate, dismissal of Meyers and the other the Immediate re lease of Bartram. Governor Meier, Ignoring the In justice of seeking to deprive Mey ers of an opportunity to be heard In his own defense, declared that he was seeking only to expedite the hearing and get the matter over with. Earlier in the morning he had sought to lay the blame for conditions of alleged unrest exist ing at Uie prison upon Meyers, Kay and Hoss through their insistence upon a public hearing. In opening the morning hearing the governor made the following statement: MKIKR'S STATEMKNT "I want to state to the board again," said Governor Meier, "that during the interim since the ad journment ot the last meeting and up to now, that I have been In contact with guards and others in Uie penitentiary, and they have voluntarily called to my attention that the unrest existing at the penitentiary Is of such nature that they thought I should be advised; and at this tunc I want to go on record before the board that under The existing mismanagement I can not be responsible and that I want to ask for the immediate resigna tion of Mr. Meyers. That such steps be taken so as to relieve me of any responsibility In connection with the safekeeping of the con victs of the penitentiary. It doesn't take much to start something out there and I don't want anything to get started. Yesterday when the prisoners were brought out they quacked at Mr. Meyers. "I don t blame Mr. Meyers for fighting. He has asked for a pub lic hearing and everyone has the right to be heard FORCED TO DO IT There was mention made at one of cur rrevto'ts meetings of the Better Tobacco fed to baby chicks is gallery, and I have thought It over, and have decided that we three are employed here by the taxpayers, and for that reason we should give them a chance to express them selves, and if they want to demon- strata their sentiments It should be forthcoming. And I want to re peat again that this Is only a hear ing that somewhat smatters of Judges sitting in Judgment. "We have Mr. Kay defending Mr. Meyers and I am prosecuting him. I am forced to do It. Mr. Kay will admit that he Is for him. I have a mental reservation as to my stand and I am carrying it through. "I asked these gentlemen to come to my office last night, which they did, and I told them that have no control over the situation at the prison and I warned them. It Is not a case to be played with and fooled witn, or not whitewash ed or anything else. I don't Intend to close up this Investigation in a hurry. In fact I am determined to bring all the facts and more facts out." Both Hoss and Kay took Issue with the governor on the question of responsibility for the hearing and the condition said to have grown out of It at the prison. HOSS STATEMENT Mr. Hoss then took the floor, sav Ing: 'This seems to be the popular time to make statements. Now, the Governor has done me the honor, Mr. Kay, to say that I am the only member of this board who has fair and unprejudiced mind. He Indicates that he is against Mr. Meyers and that you are for him. "That puts me In a tough spot. It makes me the only one who will render a fair decision In this thing The governor mentioned condl tlons at the penitentiary. I know something about this, and I asked tht governor last night if he would n't expedite things to get this cleaned up, because I know that so long as this hearing keeps up these bad conditions will continue to exist. "I want to quote from a state ment I made a week before this hearing. When we decided on this hearing, It quotes me as saying that 'during the investigations when the executive is under fire, there Is al ways a lot of unrest and dlssatls faction, and that we should clear this up immediately'. ASKS FOR HASTE "Now, governor, I make again the same request, as I did before, that trivialities as possible and hurry we spend Just as little time in this along. Not that I want to hide any testimony, or that I am unwtll- ing to spend efforts to clear this up, only I consider the conditions at the end of State street much more serious and Important than the political standing of any of us. I know something about the con ditions there, too, and I think know them better than the gover nor. And I, therefore, ask the board to use every effort to get this thing over with." "In fairness to all parties con cerned, would you mind stating who brought about this hearing and whv it Is a public hearing," said Meier. "Governor, you would put me right on the spot. I might have my own opinion about who brought this on." Hoss replied. "That's all right. Give us your opinion." "It has been brought about by Meier, or Meyers." REFVSES REPLY "Governor, 111 ask you a fair question. Would you ask us to adopt this resolution before hear ing the defense?" asked Hoss. Governor: I'm not giving any opinions. . Hoss: Yes, but I'm asking this question. You asked us to vote on it. Governor: I am not asking for a vote. I am not giving any opinions. Hoss: I want to call your atten tion to the fact mat the papers re cently have been full of the fact that the Gerlinger Iron worns at Dallas have made and sent to the Russian government a great many of their patent lumber carriers, a very fine piece of machinery. Fol lowing your line of reasoning, wouldn't It be wrong for them to do so? Governor: "That's a private Inter est I am speaking of the flax In dustry and I want to protect the people of the state of Oregon." Hoss: "The lumber Industry Is just as much a public Industry as the flax Industry. As far as the resolution Is concerned, I am not prepared to make a statement. I say Uiat it Is very unfair to pre sent your resolution at this time, and I think we should proceed and hear the defense before rendering a decision." Kay: "I move that we defer Judgment of the resolution until we have heard the defense." The Oovemor read the second resolution asking the Immediate dismissal of Bartram, to which Kay replied: "Oovemor Meier came to me sometime ago and asked me to Join him in a resolution removing Col onel Bartram. I Joined htm In this and It was agreed that he should serve until the first of May. Later the Oovemor asked me to join him again In a resolution removing Colonel Bartram at once, and I said I would tf I could see any rea son where It would be best for all concerned. CARRYING ON WELL "I have made an Investigation at the request ol the Oovemor to see if the Colonel was carrying on the duties in an upright manner and I found that he was. "Four-fifths of all the evidence produced In the testimony Is against Bartram and not against Meyers. Bartram has been removed, and will be removed May first. Now I want to say that Colonel Bartram should not be made an Issue at LATE RALLY IN WHEAT MARKET OFFSETS LOSS Chicago (Pi Late upturns In wheat prices Tuesday more than overcame early losses. Speculative selling during transient uncertainty over rumors about alleged changes in farm board export Plans was overdone. Subsequent repurchases to offset such speculative 6aies dis closed that the market was rela tively bare of offerings. Rallies damage bv low temperatures. were promoted also by fears ol crop Wheat closed irregular, c lower to 6-8c advance. Com li-5-c ad vanced, oats 1-c off to l-ec up ana provisions unchanged to 12 cents down. Corn equalled season low price records andts oats outdid the record. Chicago (P) Rumors that there had been a change In plans to sell 35,000,000 bushels of wheat abroad from the holdings of government sponsored agencies bearishly affect ed the wheat market at the opening Tuesday. It had been announced some time ago that such an amount of wheat would be exported by July 1. Rumors flew thick and fast and caused much confusion. Chairman Stone of the farm board later Issued a statement, saying there have been no changes either as to export 6ales or the de cision not to support the 1831 crop. Opening unchanged to cent low er, the market in wheat soon sta bilized. Corn started unchanged to 3-8 cent off and continued weak. this time. It is not fair to Colonel Bartram to do so within a week or ten days before his resignation. "I don't see any good reason why this case is finished. It Is wise to let the other side proceed and It is only fair play, and Colonel Bart ram Is not an issue in this ca.se, be cause he has been removed some weeks ago." The resolution which Governor Meier had asked be adopted by the board without further hearing ol the defense testimony read as fol lows: MEIERS' RESOLUTION "Whereas It has been established by the evidence brought out at this hearing that H. W. Meyers and Colonel Bartram negotiated a loan from the United States National bank in the sum of One Hundred Thousand ($100,000) Dollars without the authority of the Board of Con trol and contrary to Uie opinion and advice of the Attorney General ot the state of Oregon, an dissued a ficticious warehouse receipt as col lateral and security for said loan, all of which Is contrary to the statutes of the State of Oregon, and the Il legal pledging of the property of the state, and Uie raising and expendi ture of money for state purposes without authority of the Legislative Assembly or without authority of law, and "Whereas, it has been established that Henry W. Meyers has used the labor and service of convicts con fined In the state penitentiary and state property, for the purpose of Improving and developing a duck lake for his own private use and the use of other private citizens, all of which is contrary to the statutes of the state of Oregon, and "Whereas, Henry W. Meyers, the superintendent of the state peniten tiary in control of the flax indus try carried on at the penitentiary, has operated and managed the said Industry in such a manner as to cause a tremendous loss to Uie state of Orrgon, and "Whereas, it appears from the evi dence introduced at this hearing that there has been charged to the flax Industry various Items of ex pense which should have been charged to the penitentiary as a whole, thereby concealing from the public the true cos tof the operation of the state penitentiary, and "Whereas, It is essential Uiat trie flax industry at the 6tate peniten tiary be put on a business-like basis In order that the flax Industry of the state of Oregon may be preserv ed, and "Whereas, it appears from the evi dence Introduced at this hearing Uiat a neftbrt has been made on the part of Henry W. Meyers, and of Colonel Bartram under the direc tion of Meyers, to obtain contracts for the manufacture of flax pulling machines for use of the Russian government, thereby enabling Rus sia, which Is one of the large flax producing countries of the world, to produce flax In order to compete with Uie industry being fostered and built up in the state of Oregon, Now, theretorc be It Resolved. that Henry W. Meyers be, and he hereby is, removed as Superintend ent of the State Penitentiary for cause, and that his salary be paid up until Uie first clay of May. 1931. and that this resolution take effect i immediately upon Its adoption by Uie Board of Control." BUTLER IGNORANT OF MEIER'S OFFER fCoatlnued from page 1) gon relative to securing General Smcdley D. Butler to organize the new state police. No definite action has yet been taken, nor has the gov ernor been Informed whether or not Butler would accept Uie task. His release for a time would be neces sary, either by the war department or President Hoover. The governor stated he had no idea of offering the Job as head of the fUkie police to Butler, but was only trying to secure him for organ ization work. Meier stated he had several other men In mind In the event Butler could not come, but would not disclose their names. Governor Meier Indicated Uiat he felt General Butler had the exper ience and ability to effect a strong. efficient state constabulary in Ore gon. His national reputation in handling police work would provide effective advertising for Oregon, the governor said. The law creating the new state police department becnmci rfe,tiv August l and it Is Uie expressed de- sire of Uie executive to have Uie organization detail worked out In advance. The police will have charge of all law enforcement duties now held by the state traffic department, prohibition department, game, fish and fire wardens. The governor has expressed the hope Uiat Oregon's new constabulary would be equiva lent to the Canadian Royal Mount ed police, the Texas rangers and the stale police of Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The govtnior slated Tuesday he would take up the appointment of tile agricultural department director Immediately after the penitentiary matter has been settled. The new agricultural department become effective June 5. NO PURCHASES BY FARM BOARD Washington iI, Chairman Stone of the farm board said In a state ment Tuesday the board's decision of several months ago to sell 35,- O00.U00 bushels of wheat abroad and to refrain from making stabilization purchases from the 1931 crop was unchanged. "The board has made no decisions in regard to future wheat stabiliza tion operations except those previ ously announced," he said. These are: I) That an effort will be made to sell abroad by July, 35, 000.000 bushels of out of position wheat stored at Atlantic, Oulf and Pacific northwest seaports, and (2i that stabilization purchases will not be made from the 1931 crop. Any statement that the farm board at this time contemplates any other action is erroneous." Stone said Monday that between 7.000.000 and 8.000,000 bushels of the 35,000,000 bushels had been sold abroad at a price sllghUy above the world level. OLD HOPS SOLD AT 10 CENTS With farmers refusing 16 cent of fers on hops onslaughts are being made by buyers on olds and a num ber of more sales of olds are re ported stretching even back Into the 1928 crop. Sales reported are as follows: Boggs : Boggs. Harrlsburg to Seavey, 124 bales of the 1929 crop at 10 cents. Lowell Sc Brisiow, Harrtsbunr. 83 bales of the 1929 crop fuggles at 9 cents to T. A. Livesley Sc company. Hanson at Silverton.' 21 bales of the 1929 crop to Roberts at 10 cents. One honored and elghtv-two bales of Seavey's 1929 crop fuggles to Hart at S i cents. Buyers say that apparently grow ers' Ideas on 1930s right now run from 17 to 20 cents as prices that they would accent and it is stated a number of offers at 16 cents have been made and rejected. The fact that olds are being sought and taken Indicates that In quiries are more or less active and the fact that 10 cents is now being paid for olds when some changed hands in a number of lots not long ago at 8 cents also Is a further In dication that these Inquiries show more or less insistent demand that hops be picked up. at F.
