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

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.

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.

provides that when one has cooked
and eaten, he shall clean and scour

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.

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

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."

CONFESS SLUGGING
AND ROBBING
(Continued from page 1)
lng out at once since they had lo
cated two men who would take
them on south.
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. Olson
became separated from the rest of
tbe party and was found walking
toward town by Alexander who was
hastening to the scene.
Sellick drove the others of ths
party to Albany and left them at a
hotel. He then returned to Salem
to look for Olson and was placed
under arrest.
Sellick, after being questioned by
officers, admitted his part in the
affair and implicated Olson who
had professed Ignorance of the rob
bery. Sellick claims the women had
nothing to do with the planning of
the robbery. Their personal be
longings were found In his car upon
his return to Salem. Sellick and
Olson have been traveling together
ever since leaving Butte, Mont.
They state they do not know the
name of the third man, merely
calling him "Mike".
Captains Alexander and Mcdain
of the state police left for Albany
Monday afternoon In an effort to
locate the third man and the wom
en. It is planned to take tbe trio
Into court during the afternoon
and have sentence pronounced.
Love of good literature on the part
of Olson and Sellick, to be exact,
that gem of the Jungles, "Ths Dying
Hobo," led to the complete undoing
of the two prisoners,
When Olson was frisked by ths
officers they found on his person
part of a copy of that famous ballad.
Of course when Sellick was ameted
he and Olson denied they knew each
other. But in Belllck's pocket was
found the corresponding part of
"The Dying Hobo,"
