FINDS JOBBERS
SHELVES BARE
CANNED FRUIT
Orover Hlllman of the Hlllman
and Cleary Canning ocmpany In
West Salem returned this morning
from a five and a half weeks' sell
ing trip through the east and re
ported the acquisition of some good
business.
While, he stated, eastern Jobbers
are chiselling the prices down on
all fruit as much as possible, never
theless he says that the shelves of
these Jobbers are tn a Mother Hub
bard state and bare as a bone as
far as Oregon fruits are concerned.
Canned peaches he asserted, are
the bugaboo of the fruit market
now and as this is a leader in can
ned goods it Is materially depress
ing the market, especially as to
canned prunes. He stated there Is
a world of California canned peach
es available in the east ss well as
canned peaches from other sections
and that these re being sold at
prices too low to afford belief.
He said In a general way things
appear to be looking up In the east.
The stock market has caused a good
reaction and he states that one
could hardly pick up an eastern
paper without reading of some new
factory resuming operations.
Hlllman lslted New York, Chi
cago, Bostn, Philadelphia, St. Paul,
Minneapolis and other cities and
said that generally conditions were
about the same In all the sections
visited.
Continuation of
LEGION RESENTS
(Prom page ou)
nant they make no bones about
the resentment they tee toward the
republican national administration's
very apparent endeavor to Influence
the action of the convention upon
two matters they feel are the Le
gion's own business the Legion's
stand on the question of immediate
payment of adjusted compensation
certificates and the Legion's atti
tude toward the forceful expulsion
of the bonus expeditionary force
from Washington.
On every hand, In hotel lobbies,
in headquarters rooms, around con
vention headquarters and on the
streets one hears the indignant
comment that for the first time in
the history of the Legion politics
has been actively injected Into its
deliberations;
Since the first of the delegations
arrived this has been the talk.
There was criticism of the activity
of Hanford McNider, former na
tional commander recently recalled
from his ambassadorship to Canada
to campaign among the veterans
for President Hoover. There is
pointed speculation concerning the
prsence at the convention of Pat
rick J. Hurley, secretary of war, and
the very conspicuous endeavor of
numerous politically active veterans
from over the county to block a
formal demand by the Legion at
this convention for immediate pay
ment of the bonus Is being gener
ally interpreted as the work of the
administration.
The reaction is an expression of
determination to adopt a bonus
payment resolution, notwithstand
ing President Hoovers opposition,
and there Is a strong sentiment fa
vorable to the passage of resolu
tions openly condemning the Hoov
er administration for the bonus
army riots.
While the sentiment in this di
rection was general among most of
the delegates and many of the na
tional officers arriving for the con
vention it did not take on a serious
crystalized aspect until this morn
ing when the Oregonlan, under
Washington date line, came out
with a full page devoted to the text
of the report on the investigations
of Attorney General William D.
Mitchell of the bonus army riots.
The report of the attorney gener
al was transmitted to the public
with the formal endorsement of
President Hoover, whose statement
was also printed by the Oregonlan
on the same page.
To the printed report of the at
torney general, classifying some of
tbe veterans in the Bonus Expedi
tionary Forces, and associating all
of the veterans In the bonus army
with "criminals'' the recatioa of the
convention veterans was instantan
eous and positive. It was assailed
everywhere as a political maneuver.
released as it was on the eve of
the convention opening, and con
demned as such.
What measure of restraint that
had been evidenced by more con
servative legionnaires in mentioning
President Hoover and his campaign
in connection with these legion Is
sues was immediately wiped out.
The prevailing sentiment among
tne legionnaires today was openly
and enthusiastically anti-Hoover,
and they made no pretense at hid
ing it, asserting that it was the
Hoover forces which forced the
question of politics upon them.
Their resentment was further fan
ned by a telegram addressed to the
convention by J. A. Lazar, national
commander of the Veterans' Hoov
er club, asserting that Hoover was
right in the ousting of the B.E.F.
irom warmngton.
Lazar's telegram was branded
widely among the veterans as
deliberate attempt to inject poll-
tics into tne convention.
Convention leaders were agreed,
ev?n many who are known to be
pro - administration, that there
seems to be a determined move
ment under way to block any direct
or implied criticism of the ad
ministration m whatever resolu
tons may be adopted by the con
vention, and that the movement
is ill-advised and dangerous.
State politicians are also very
much in evidence around the hotel
lobbies and other gathering places,
but for th most part they are do
ing very little "politiking." They
simply want to be
in on the big
partr and seem to be satisfied
with Just keeping themselves In

NIGHT SESSIONS
TO SPEED UP
AURORA TRIAL
Intimation was given by Circuit
Judge Wilson as the case against
B. p. Giesy and Zeno Bchwab was
about to reopen this afternoon that
night sessions might be inaugurated
due to numerous complications de
laying progress of the trial. Hall a
day was surrendered from the case
today because some of the attor
neys were required to appear in su
preme court on the school tax argu
ment. All day tomorrow recess will
be taken due to Governor Meier's
legal holiday for the American Le
gion parade. Then Special Prose-
tuctor Barnett Goldstein threw an
other tear bomb today when he told
the court the United States court
of appeals would be In session Wed'
nesday and Thursday and he would
have to be there for a half a day,
but just which, half day he was not
sure yet, but It will mean another
half a day recess. While not stat
ing positively night sessions would
be held Judge Wilson did intimate
if progress was delayed he may put
them In order.
Zeno Schwab, cashier of the de
funct Aurora bank, finished his di
rect examination shortly after court
opened this afternoon with his
counsel, Walter Winslow, taking
him over a number more angles as
to the IGOO0 note on which his trial
hinges and also cleaning up a num
ber of points from his copious notes.
Cross-examination then started
which Special Prosecutor Goldstein
predicted would use up the entire
afternoon.
It was evident that the special
prosecutor was taking a specific
tack in cross examination in an
effort to bring out a certain phase
tn the handling of the funds of
the bank and securities of the
mortgage company of which Schwab
was cashier of the one and secretary
of the other. And that was the in-
i timatlon that as fast as mortgage
notes came due it was the system
used to stall off payment by the
mortgage company as long as pos
sible, but whenever the customer
bore down and Insisted on payment
being made that the mortgage loan
company through its secretary dip
ped into the funds of the bank ot
which the secretary was cashier to
meet such notes.
The cross examination also was
due to go Into the various phases
of mortgages and notes of the loan
company and their use as securities
In taking funds from the bank.

evidence to convince the Oregon
legionnaires of their Interest and
support.
Here and there jsju win find a
group of Oregon a political wise
boys congregated and talking shop,
but so far they have showed no
Inclination to inject their prob
lems into legion business. They
seem to be agreed among them
selves that Earl Sncll, of Arling
ton, has the speakership of the
house for tbe 1933 legislature all
sewed up with present pledges of
43 votes, and that Senator Prod
Kiddle, ot Wand City has the
presidency of the senate clinched.
That both Snell and Kiddle are
legionnaires Is only Incidental.
The Oregon politicians find tne
most meat for their lobby discus
sions In the threatened break be
tween Governor Meier and Rufus
Holman, state treasurer, over the
Holman-Einzig squabble, and over
the probable outcome of Holman's
treasuryshlp race with Judge Wil
liam Malor.ey, of Pendleton. The
Eastern Oregon onlookers bring
word of a very definite trend east
of the mountains for Malcney, even
among the republicans, and they
predict that If Holman presses
Oovernor Meier too far in the Etn
tig matter the governor will throw
his support to Maioney.
There are unverified rumors
afloat here that Maioney has al
ready been given assurance that
when the proper time comes he can
expect some help from the state
administration that Governor
Meier feels that Holman has "doub
le-croEscd" him and Is no longer
entitled to the executives support.
From Information gathered here
and there about the lobbies from
persons who usually know what
they are talking about this much
seems certainEinzig is not going
to lose his Job at slate purchasing
ajent simply because Holman de
mands his scalp. Oovernor Meier
It is reliably reported, is going to
stand squarely behind Einzlg and

RUN DOWN BY AUTO
PASSES IN HOSPITAL
C. C. Smith, whose home was on
rural route No. 3, Turner, died at
the Salem General hospital early
Sunday morning from injuries re
ceived when he was run down by
an automobile Saturday afternoon
near the Waddle service station on
South Commercial street. The
driver of the car was Lloyd E.
Johnson of Turlock, Cal., who was
on his way to the American Le
Blon convention in Portland. With
him were two other Legionnaires
and the wife of one of them.
Officers were not disposed to
attach much blame to Joiinson for
the accident. He was meeting a
car coming from the opposite di
rection at the time, and apparently
had his attention on It until too
late to avoid striking Smith.
Smth received fractures of both

widow and six children, the oldest

HIGH SCHOOL
TUITION CASE
APPEAL ARCHED
Arguments in the county high
school tuition fund ease before the
supreme court today took on much
the complexion of previous legal ar
guments beard orally and In briefs
but with the plaintiff's attorney,
Roy p. Shields, bearing down espe
cially on the powers of the clerks
of the school districts, specifically
the ground of attack was the arbi
trary right given to the clerks to
fix a valuation on school buildings
and write off the depreciation. This,
he stated, was one of the U items
which go to make up the cost ot
education. From the court's find
ings in this regard there is no ap
peal, he said, other than through
some such procedure in the courts
as Is now under way. He slated
otherwise there was no manner to
probe into the Justness ot tbe valu
ations fixed and depreciation writ
ten off and thus doubted the valid
ity ot such findings.
The defense attorneys m Kaaina
repulse against this attack de
pended largely on a ease of the
Oregon supreme court covering the
forest fire patrol tax and also tne
Illinois statute, identical to Ore
gon's, and tbe findings of the court
there as to that statute. In tne
first fire patrol case defense coun
sel contended that an exactly simi
lar situation exists as to the school
tax, that the state forester may fix
the levy and there Is no appeal
from bis decision other than
through a proceeding in the courts
similar to the one here.
While other points were raised
Shields stressed this one particular
point, stating he did so without
waiving any ot the other argument
advanced In the brief.
