WINE AND BEER PLUNK URGED Washington A democratic platform declaring for light wines and beer and a prohibition refer endum Is favored by jouett snouse, chairman of the party's national executive committee. Other legislation which he would have democrats advocate in the coming session of congress Includes abolition of the farm board tariff revisions, re-enactment of the Wag ner bin to establish employment offices nationally, the five-day week for federal employes and opposition to the use of the injunction in la bor disputes. Shouse's views, which he describ ed as entirely personal, were pub lished by the Woman's National Democratic club in the Democratic Bulletin. The Bulletin has also asked other party leaders to sub mit their platform ideas. Shouse said the party should Pledge itself for a prohibition ref erendum by offering a substitute for the eighteenth amendment. Con gress first would have to pass the substitute, snouse neid nowever, in voting on it the members "need not voice personal endorsement" but could "merely state a willing ness to offer the people the chance to pass judgment in the knowledge that unless and until ratified the three-quarters of the states, the substitute can not be effective." He urged Immediate amendment of the Volstead act to legalise llgnt wines and beer, contending the beer tax alone would yield immense rev enue and employment would be provided for 'several hundred thou sand idle men." The democratic leader criticised the Hoover aamtnisirauon ana con demned national isolation as a for eign nollcv. On the -intergovern mental debt moratorium, he said. President Hoover "waited until the last minute of the last hour of the last day."

DEMPSEY GETS RENO DIVORCE FROM ESTELLE Reno, Ner., (4 The married life of Jack Dempsey terminated abrup tly Monday alter six and one hall years when he was granted a de fault dlToroe from Estelle Taylor. Judge Thomas P. Moran entered the decree following a lengthy hearing at which the wife of the former heavyweight champion was not rep resented. Although Dempsey's was the 16th on the docket of Judge Thomas F. Moran, the preceding complaints were heard in short order and the former champion's decree was en tered at 11:57 o'clock. The hearing was held behind closed doors. Jim McKay, Reno sportsman, was Dempsey's witness. Leonard Sacks, his manager, also accompanied him. Entering the court shortly after 11:30, 25 minutes was given to the case Instead of the usual five, In an effort to give the former champion an "iron clad" decree which would resist any contest " Although kept secret at Demp sey's request, It was understood the proceedings were unusually thor ough, anad that testimony was given In detail. It was reported that Dempsey and McKay charged Miss Taylor with being temperamental to the point of cruelty, extravagant, and as lacking love for a home, and not desiring children. , Dempsey appeared calm before and after the proceedings. Leaving the court house, he posed before a battery of photographers and left for his office to prepare a formal statement for the press. Miss Taylor did not answer Dempsey's complaint, but with Dempsey's property located in Cali fornia and her own divorce suit pending in the Los Angeles courts, it appeared that Jack's hand was not to be raised In unqualified vktpry. Miss Taylor was In Chicago after completing a vaudeville engage ment in Clnnclnnati. She did not attach much Importance to Demp sey's Reno divorce. "Every one that has been con tested has been set aside' she de clared last week. In Los Angeles, Joseph Scott, her attorney, announced her Interests had been protected. "We served Dempsey with the divorce papers in Reno and also by publication. We have Dempsey's interest in the Barbara hotel here tied up with an Injunction," he said.

His ball was fixed at $1500, which be did not furnish. On his previous appearance he was released on condition that be go to work and pay so much a month. Re Is said to have failed to do this, i Glamor Of Hobo Life Gone As Unemployed Stream Through Land The glamour of hobo life is gone and all the romance of the road is lost, and the exodus of unemployed who pass through Salem in a week would habitate a small sized city. according to railroad men who con - tact the "floating population" dally. Streams of constantly moving men pour through : the city on freight trains, averaging 350 a day, and the "backwash" or overnight guests average 40 to SO per night In the South Salem Jungles. Half dozen open air fireplaces have been arranged by the visitors, and big rack holds ths varied assort ment of miscellaneous cooking utensils accumulated by devious means. The "ethics of the jungles' JURISDICTION OF BOUNDARY BOARD UPHELD While district boundary boards have no authority, as a matter of policy, to arbitrarily veto and dis continue all transportation routes coming under their Jurisdiction, they have authority to discontinue or veto any particular Toute and a school district attempts to estab lish such a route after the action of the boundary board It Is violat ing the provisions of the statute. This, In effect. Is the ruling of Attorney General Van Winkle In an opinion reaching the office County Superintendent Fulkerson from the office of the state su perintendent. While the opinion was given at the request of District Attorney Nott of Yamhill county the opinion was of vital Interest to the district boundary board here because of complications which arose in connection with its action in laying out tbe routes especially In reference to the Stayton and contiguous districts. The opinion of the attorney gen eral was In response to questions whether the district boundary board has ths right to veto the establishment of aU transportation routes of school districts extending beyond their boundaries, and say as a matter of policy no such routes will be approved or whether such a board is bound by statute to aUow reasonable routes to be established and exercise its thority in a regulatory manner. The statute, says tbe opinion In eiiecc, aoes not comer on the boun dary board the power to den; all routes. It does forbid establishment or routes not approved By tne boun dary ooara or boards of arbitration. The power Is not an arbitrary power to be exercised at will, says the opin ion, as an arbitrary policy but to be used with discretion either to deny or approve aproposea route. If the route is disapproved or mo dified, continues the opinion, either by the district boundary board or board of arbitration, the school dis trict proposing the route is bound by such action. The establishment of a route by a school district after such action is a violation of the statute. states the opinion. The attorney general goes on to state that in an opinion of August IS handed down by his office, there evidently was a misunderstanding as to its meaning in some places and It was construed to mean the boundary board has no authority to veto the establishment of any particular route but, the opinion avers, no such language l contained In the earner opinion and it Is not to his understanding that the statute contains any provisions to that effect. Tne Marlon county district bound ary board had been advised that ex tensive petitions bad been filed In various districts around Stayton. protesting against certain routes es tablished and asking for the matter to be re-opened. The petitions were not filed but copies of them were sent in to the board. No further ac tion has been taken pending advices from ths attorney general. There had been some discussion as to the possibility of the board doing away with transportation routes entirely which seems to be set aside by the opinion of ths attorney general.

Theft of his automobile from Madison street Sunday night was reported to the police by Harold Colgsn, 1349 WaU street. - provides that when one has cooked and eaten, he shall clean and scour ths vessels snd bang them up ready I or tne next caller. The complextlon of the travelers has changed vastly In the past year, and the term "depression" has come to have a real meaning for tbe rail road men, one of whom supplies un official figures for this story. A year ago the travelers were typical ho boes. These gave way to a stream of "hard-boiled" kids, and most them got little sympathy from She rail roads. But now ths most of the men are honest, looking tor work, neat and clean In their personal appearance. The days of "riding the rods" are suspended along with other things such as war debts, and the 'boes ride on top though the sunny sides of tank cars, "machinery flats" and gondolas are preferred. "We aren't bothered much, as a rule," the railroad man said, "except that they constantly go to the yard office to find out when the next train leaves. Occasionally they "nit us up but mostly they ask about the town's Industries, and where they can get a Job. "One man came through the other day. He had lost his business in Pennsylvania. With only $300 or $300 left, and a wife and three children to feed, he cleared out, be told me. Said he had been In 14 states al ready, had been able to send his family $40, and then had 14 or St ill his pocket. He stayed In town four days without finding a Job, but said he could always find something to do to get food. That was not gen erally true east of the Mississippi, though, he said. People there simply haven't got It, I guess. "The railroad men themselves haven't been bothered much," tbe informant declared, "but we've had an awful time with them breaking into cars. They seem to know which cars contain food and tobacco and fruit, for those are the ones they break into. The railroad detective force has been cut, and they have too much territory to cover, so they put men from other departments to checking car seals In the yards. "Every house within a radius of two and a half blocks except one, near the depot, has been entered within the past two or three weeks. We expect to get held up anytime, particularly those on the night shift. "You'd be surprised at tne ex perienced men working for the rail roads now, too. There Is no one In any department, I m told, who has been employed less than ten years. There are only six firemen on the whole Portland division. The rest are engineers who have been "bump ed" Into lower Jobs on account of the depression. Even the engine watchman who was a fireman with a lot of seniority rights at one time, has been 'bumped' Into his present Job without any rights at all. "But, it's a good Job as long as It lasts!" CHILDREN'S SHOES NEEDED FOR POOR Who has got a pair of child's shoes tucked away in their closet? No matter how worn they are, If there is still a little bit more wear in them, the Associated Charities need them, and need them sadly. All types of children's clothing are In active demand at the Charities building on Court street, parti cularly shoes. One family lit which were seven children of school age had but one child that had a pair of shoes to go to school in. and no way of getting other shoes for the family except through the char ities. 'atiere are no men's shoes, child ren's shoes or articles of men's clothing on the shelves at the As sociated Charities and all resi dents who have these articles cm anw other articles of clothing are invited to donate them to the charities by the secretary, Mrs. Mae Carson. Fruit Jars also will be welcomed at the charities building where Mrs. Carson is being sasisted In canning fruit and vegetables by a group of Interested women. A number of pecks of tomatoes have been do nated to the charities and win be canned along with other fruit and vegetables for us In the soup kit chen during the winter months. The United States army Is not a reform institution nor a school of correction, says Sergeant Harry P. Endner, who Is In charge of the recruiting office In ths postofflce building. Consequently If Clyde Maltland, late of a hop yard near Independence, presents himself to tne Portland recruiting station or any other anywhere in the United States he will be rejected. The reason Is that Maltland was being held to. the Polk county grand Jury, according to an Independence story of last Saturday, although It Is stated that he has been released by court order because of Insuffi cient evidence. He was accused of larceny of an automobile from the McLaughlin hop ranch. The auth orities were Informed that he was going to Portland to enlist In the army. Circuit Judge Hill was here Mon day from Albany hearing the ease of Burtlt against Chrlstenson said by court attaches to be ths first case ever heard lh eourt here In which an effort was being made to foreclose on a lien on an airplane for services performed. Sacramento toe ton an FranriHco M2 LOS ANGELS I1S.H tlnmt eenlDewnt TIM Rctale stun RHU Depot Bum UoUb rkone WATER SYSTEM BONDS BEFORE CITY COUNCIL If the ordinance providing for a city charter amendment to author ise the issuance of 12,500,000 bonds for the acquisition of the munici pal water system gets through the city council Monday night It was apparent Monday that the council would probably first go into com mittee of the whole to make amend ments to the ordinance bill. Proposed amendments probably win apply mainly to the time feat ure. The ordinance as drawn would require immediate action in event the people approved the bond issue. To this some members of the coun cil object, and Intimate that they will demand that all requirements for Immediate action be removed from the bill. Accompanying this bill Is another calling for a special election on November 3. Alderman Hal D. Patton, member of the utilities committee, who went on record two weeks ago in oppo sition to the .proposed utilization of the North Santlam as a water supply, but who said he would vote for the bills In order to get them before the people, will have com pany Monday night in his opposi tion to the source of supply. Like Patton, Alderman W. H. Dancy be lieves wells could be utilized for a source of supply, and also like Pat ton, Dancy believes tbe North San tlam would be no Improvement over the Willamette river. He -points out that the water supply at Jef ferson and that at Stayton, both of which come from the Santlam, have in the past been condemned by the state board of health. Alderman Dancy's bill providing for an amendment to the charter relative to the special fire depart ment tax, so that the proceeds could be utilized for maintenance as well as c'Jpment or firs sta tions, will be up for third reading. It would also go on ths ballot at ths proposed special election in No vember, Another measure proposed for the ballot at that time Is Mayor Greg ory's blU providing for the crea tion of municipal lighting districts. It will be up for third reading Mon day night. , - i The half dozen bills introduced two weeks ago Increasing the license taxes on utilities operating in the city, and placing new licenses on several other activities will not be reported out for third reading. City Attorney Trlndle believes the bUls in their present form are not sound and they are to be redrafted. As suggested In a letter from A. H. AveriU, state fire marshal, two weeks ago, an ordinance will be in troduced to prohibit gasoline trucks from parking on the streets during the sleeping hours of their drivers. Up to early afternoon no bids had been received on the proposed city Issue of Bancroft Improvement bonds. Bids are looked for during the afternoon. START PAVING OF UNFINISHED PLACES Work of paving the five unfin ished comers on the pavement be tween Salem and SUverton will start Wednesday of this week states Frank Johnson, county road master. The crew from the SUver ton plant which will do the work on that road will finish up Tuesday on widening nine-foot strips of pavement between Jack's bridge and SUverton and as soon as It finishes on ths SUverton road will go over and pave some unfinished comers between Mt. Angel and Woodburn. Grades on these new comers were completed two years ago and have been carrying the traffic since to allow them to set tle In a condition to take the pave ment. Tne St, Paul paving crew Is ex pected to finish paving two com ers between Gervals and St. Louis, this work to be ended Monday and then will have considerable patch ing work to do as well as topping some small stretches of pavement In the north end. DALLAS STORE ROBBED 200 LOOT SECURED Dallas The O. L. crider depart ment store was entered by burglars Sunday night and loot aggregating about 1200 in money and mer- chandise taken. I It was believed the store was entered about 10 o'clock, entrance being gained by breaking a win dow in the rear of tbe store. In cash about too was taken and dry goods, apparently all of It men's wear, was Included In the haul to the extend of about $150. An exact check has not yet been made. Three men's suits and a suit case were among ths articles taken. . The burglarly Is the first suc cessful one in several months. Sev eral attempts at entrance Into places of business have been made recently, but ineffectually.

The survey flight was the result or an offer by Colonel and Mrs. Lindbergh to place themselves and their plane at the disposal of the government to help in any possible manner during the flood emer gency. The offer was accepted with thanks by Chiang Kai-Shek, head of the nationalist government, and T. V. Soong, finance minister. The region for which the fliers (Soncluded on page a, ooiumn a FAVOR TITANIC DAM FOR COLUMBIA RIVER . (Continued from page 1) $50,000,000 each on the Columbia below the mouth of the Snake, "had in one audacious burst" point ed to the huge structure across the river. This structure was described by uie paper as a dam miles in length, 300 feet high, and costing between $350,000,000 and $400,000,000. Tbe Journal said another dam below the Cascades may be a part or me proposal, xnis would elimin ate considerable operating resist ance to navigation. - The congressional committee met here during the day with the Uma tilla Kapiai association, seeking a dam near that point. The paper said that "although It was clear the big dam would drown out both the fact and need of the lower structure at the swift water three miles from the town of Umatilla those backing the Umatilla project continued to urge its construction. The group urging the rapids dam declared it would cost $45,000,000 and would develon nearly half million horse power at 1.2 mills per kilowat hour; the dam would re move the last serious obstruction to navigation. Cascade Locks and Cel- ilo canal having disposed of the lower barriers. They declared, too, that while the huge project mentioned by the army engineers would, by Its very Im mensity, defer Columbia river de velopments for years, the Umatilla rapids project could be built now, could be fitted into a national plan of structures for unemployment re lief, and would bring profits rather than difficulties to the Columbia basin. Washington (fl" The probability developed Monday that the reclama tion bureau's study of the United States army engineers report on the Columbia basin program will be made in Denver. Commissioner Mead said that be cause of a shortage of engineers In ths Washington office, ths volumin ous document may have to be sent to western field headquarters. Mead discussed the situation with Roy GUI of the Columbia Basin Reclamation league and R. F. Walter, chief en gineer of the reclamation service, but did not discuss the report which, he said. Is so technically complicat ed as to require engineering analysis. OIU said he expected to remain in Washington about a week, going over the Columbia basin situation with Interested officials. He explain ed this group will push whatever program Is adopted by the respons ible branch of the government. He Is hopeful of definite action at the coming session of congress. "Nothing could go further to rem edy the unemployment situation In the Psoitis northwest," Oil! said, "than to have work on the stage of of this great Irrigation plan get un der way In the spring."

In the meantime, Graber had been attracted by the actions of three men, skulking about In the timber. He walked down to see what was going on when one of the trio, believed to have been Ol son, struck him a blow under the right eye with his fist. The other two pounced upon him and robbed htm of his money. Then while two of the men were dragging Graber off deeper into the timber to "finish him off" as one of the men said, the third rushed Into the cabin to get the women and' chil dren. Graber's call for help scared his assailants and the entire party fled. In the meantime Mrs. Grab er had telephone the police.
