FRESH BUTTER
LACKS VIGOR IN
TRADE CHANNEL
( Portland, Ore, Oct. 22 UP)
notwithstanding Uie efforts or
storage speculative Interests to bol
ster up the market for fresh churn
liiK, the latter is by no means In
clined strong in the local territory,
Prices were unchanged for the
week end insofar as published val
ues are concerned, but the fact re
mains that so-called extras or 92
score, are really weak, and In gen
eral sell no higher than standards.
At that tiie demand appears rather
keen for standards while extras are
) ranging.
Make and receipts of butter at
Portland showed a rather fair In
crease for the week, suggesting In
the case of the latter, the fact that
this market Is able to absorb fresh
auxk better than others along the
roast, despite the talk of sufficient
shipping orders to keep dealers'
Honrs clear.
Steadiness and strength In spots
appear in the market for bulter
Jut. Market for eggs is generally in
clined to show full steadiness In
trading centers of the country.
Locally there was again no change
In values for the weekend.
There continues an oversupply of
White Leghorn spring chickens In
the live poultry trade and cleanups
re gnerally reported only at the
lowest price quoted. Other chick
ens are fully steady.
Carryover of county killed calves
from day to day this week has con
tinued and a serious situtilion con
fronts receivers. Buyers realize this
situation and their purchases have
been confined to immediate needs.
There continues a very good call
for dressed lamb and prices arc
t least being maintained. Move
ment of hogs Into retailers' hands
.appear sufficient to keep the price
n a steady basis.
The trade in cranberries both
t the source and at consuming
points is very disappointing. This
not only applies to the coast but
to the east, where the btg ex
rhange Is linding It difficult to
create Interest. Prices are weak
but unchanged In general.
There is a Might increase In de
mand for cauliflower in carload
lots. A nickel has been added to the
former low record value but hope
Is expressed for a greater move
ment and better price with the
arrival ol cold weather In the east.
STEADY DECLINE IN
HOG, LAMB PRICES
Corrallis, Oct. '22 A) Tlie steady
decline in both lamb and hog
prices continued during the past
week with quotations on slaughter
lambs carried to a new low since
late last May, said the regular
weekly livestock market review Is
sued today by the federal market
service and the State college exten
sion service.
"Meanwhile," the report said,
needed rains have been had in
all the previously dry range sec
tions so that In general cattle and
iheep, especially in the west, are
reported in good condition with
fine winter prospects."
There was a big decrease In
thipments of feeder lambs, the re
port said, so that the sheep and
lumb shipments buiwcted through
markets were only about 55 per
cent of last year in September.

STOCKS FIRM
AND ADVANCES
MADE IN RAILS
New York, Oct. 22 (IP) Stocks
presented a firm front In today's
short session. Dealings continued
almost wholly professional with vol
ume around the lightest levels of
the year.
A small amount of short coverinit
was touched off In the railroad
shares soon after the weekly car
loadings report was Issued. That
report showed loadings up nearly
25.000 cars over the preceding week
and at a new high for the year of
650,578 cars. It made the best
showing as compared with the two
preceding years of any week In
1932.
Railroad Issues were sold heavily
yesterday. They were steady In tlie
early trading and easily moved up
when the loadings report was Is
sued. Atchison Jumped from 40 k
to 42?zt up 1 points, and held
most of the gain. Union Pacific
rose more than 2 points, and gains
of more than a point were made
bv Lackawanna. New York Central
and Southern Pacific. Most of the
advances were retained.
Steel issues were steadier today
after their sharp drop In the pre
ceding session. Steel common
touched 34, rallied to 35 and
later hovered around 35V. up U
net. Other steel shares made small
gains. Leading Industrials were
holding fractional gains as the
close approached, although there
was no particular buoyancy In any
issue or group. Utilities held about
steady.
Further strength In the foreign
exchanges against the American
dollar was an unsettled factor for
a time, although It had no direct
Influence on stock prices.
The French franc touched
3.94 1-16 cents, a rise of 7-lGtlis
point from the previous close, oth
er gold currencies rose with it,
notably the Belgian bclga and the
Dutch guilder. Sterling was down
fractionally.
Various Interpretations were ad
vanced to explain the drop In the
dollar.
"The dollar." said a Dow, Jones
the Paris dispatch, "is suffering
from the approach of the presiden
tial elections."
Brokers today almost unanimous
ly ascribed yesterday's decline in
part to the Interpretation placed
on Montangu Norman's speech.
Views were altered today by some
after more careful reading of the
speech. One brokerage house said:
"Whether the remarks of that
eminent financier influenced for
eign liquidation is not so Important
as the fact that he admits the var
ious governments have been unable
to get together in finding a satis
factory solution."
On the favorable side today, in
addition to the car loadings report,
was word from Youngstown that
the steel Industry there would
operate at 19 per cent next week,
against 18 per cent this week.
According to preliminary calcu
lation, the Dow, Jones and Co, ln
dustrial average stood at 60.85, off
.16 point, railroad 27.26, off .02
point and utility 26.94, off .07 point.
Sales were 447.820 shares, com
pared with 593,510 shares last Sat
urday.
Aggregate market value of 10
leading stocks was $5,364,744,674
against $5,379,998,500 yesterday, a
decline of $15,253,826.

organization, In confirming the an
nouncement.
The same supporters who elected
Johnson governor 21 years ago. sent
mm to the senate and followed him
into Theodore Roosevelt's "Bull
Moose" party in 3912 today joined
him in a militant organization seek
ing to defeat President Hoover in
his home state.
The action, political observers be
lieved, created a new campaign is
sue progrcssivism opposed to reg
ularity. It plunged into a struggle
for control of California's 22 elec
toral votes two heroes of California
republicanism. President Hoover and
one of his most determined enemies,
Senator Johnson.
Both have strong personal follow-
ings. Both have powerful machines.
Jubilant democratic leaders lost no
time today in claiming Senator
Johnson's active endorsement of
Roosevelt definitely assured this
state of being in the democratic col
umn at the November 8 election.
The organization, with leaders In
every northern California county,
that the senator today presented the
democrats will be sufficient to break
up the vast republican majority in
California, bourbon leaders claimed.
Added to phenomenal democratic
gains in registration, they said, the
progressive republican vote should
assure a safe majority for Roosevelt.

WHEAT PRICES
EFFECTED BY
ARGENTINA
Chicago, Oct. 22 OP) An inch of
rain officially reported in the pam
pas region of Argentina complain
ing recently of drought tended to
weigh wheat prices down late today.
Buenos Aires province, Argentina,
sent word too of moderate to good
downpours except in the northeast.
There were rains aLso at various
points in Kansas. Export demand
for Nort American wheat was small.
Wheat clcsrd unsteady, aB-a un
der yesterday's finish, corn a shade
to off, oats at a shade decline
to an equal advance, and provisions
2 cents to 5 cents lower.
Selling from northwestern sources
and uneasiness of securities had an
early bearish effect on grain prices
today. For the third day in succes
sion corn dipped to the season low
price record. Opening off to '
up wheat sagged all around. Corn
started unchanged to - lower and
held near the Initial limits.
TURKEY BUYING
BEGINS IN OREGON
Portland, Oct. 22 WP- The Journal
said today that turkey buying in
country points of the Pacific north
west has started in "a limited way."
Present action, the paper said, ap
pears more of an effort to "feel out
holders of birds more than any ap
parent desire to stock up."
For best toms and hens 19-20c a
pound Is being bid at country load
ing stations for No. 1 grade of which
little has yet been received at Port
land. Most of the birds received to
date have been somewhat heavier
and larger than normal for early
marketing but there has been an al
most general absence of fat.
Locally the market has been in
clined to show a slight increase in
demand for the week, but prices
have continued mostly 20-22c pound
for No. 1 hens and toms of the new
crop. Old crop has been inclined to
rule easier with hens down to 18c
and toms 16c a pound.

SCIO PARENTS
GIVEN ACCOUNT
SCHOOL EVENTS
Scio Of the 107 students enrolled
In the Scio high school on Octo
ber 20 this year, 44 are boys and 63
are girls, according to figures pre
sented by F. A. Gallegly, principal
of tlie high school, at the October
meeting of the Scio parent-teacher
association. Tlie eight grades in
the local school contain 03 pupils,
52 of which are boys and 41 girls,
Gallegly stated.
On the date ot the compilation
of figures in this respect the grade
school enrollment, by departments,
was as follows: first and second
grades, 10; third and fourth, 25:
fifth and sixth, 25; seventh and
eighth, 24. In the hlsh school the
freshmen numbered 28. sophomores
31, juniors 22, seniors 21, post
graduates, fi.
Only 27 of the high school stu
dents are residents of Scio district
95, according to the principal, who
stated that this Is slightly in ex
cess of 24 per cent of the total en
rollment. Laft year was the banner
year of the Scio school in the mat
ttr of attendance. Gallegly said.
For a few years past seme of the
districts adjacent to Scio have
found It advantageous from a fi
nancial point of view to send their
Dupils to school In this city, ac
cording to Gallegly'! report. Three
districts followed this plan last year
and the vear before. Two rural dis
tricts are sending their pupils here
this year, and the third district
desired to continue the arrangement
but the Scio school board consid
ered it advisable to decline this
year on account of Inadequate road
iacilities in the vicinity of Rodgcrs
mountain.
The Scio district owas and oper
ates four busses for the transpor
tation of grade and hinh school
students to the local school, and
this fact Is considered largely re
sponsible for the continuous in
crease in enrollment riurinc recent
years. One private car also delivers
pupils here from outnue districts,
It was stated.
At present the largest bus in use
by the district carries 36 pupils ana
travels 28.5 miles each school day.
Another bus transports 23. a third
carries 21 and the fourth motor
vehicle delivers 17, mnking a total
of 97 pupils conveyer! to the Scio
school by district transportation.
Four are brought here by private
car by one of the students.
"Health in the school room Is an
Important phrase of school life, and
modern methods In this respect
have been highly beneficial and
satisfactory," according to the Scio
principal. Recently the county
health nurse, Edna Flanasan. has
made an official Inspection and re
port of health conditions in the
Scio school, and pronounced the
conditions "very good," it was
stated.
Mr. Gallegly digressed from school
subjects to speak briefly relative to
confusion that has characterized
some of the scesslons of the local
parent-teacher association, suggest
ing that a remedy lay In the ex
clusion of non-members of the as
sociation who do not possess suf
ficient self-respect and due con
sideration for others during ses
sions of the association.
Miss Kllnt, on behalf of the as
sociation, presented the retiring
president. Mrs. E. Phillips, with a
potted plant in appreciation of the
services rendered during the last
year. Mrs. Phillips responded in
language fitting and expressive. E.
P. Caldwell, grade teacher and
secretary of the association, Intro
duced the new faculty members.
Miss Mildred Gardner and Miss
Doris Clarke. The meeting was pre
sided over by Mrs. Jerry Holechek.
A short program of vocal and in
strumental numbers and a play
wtih tliree characters was presented.
The president appointed Mrs. Ben
Thayer chairman of the member
ship committee, with instructions
to name her assistants.
Continuation of
WATER REPEAL
(from page one)
icsucd by Judge. McMahan when
the city recorder upon advice of
the city attorney refused to pre
pare and print the ballots for a
vote on the repeal measure, as pro
vided by the city election ordinance,
after initiative petitions containing
the names of 2345 voters (more
than twice the required number)
had bsen properly filed with the
recorder.
The action of Trindle in advising
the city recorder to ignore the city
ordinance in favor of the state
statute, and in appealing on his
own Initiative from the mandamus
order of the circuit court was char
acterized today as "an unwarrant
ed attempt to deny the people the
right to free exercise of the initia
tive powers guaranteed to them by
the state constitution" in a state
ment issued by Fred Thielsen, sec
retary of the committee sponsoring
the repeal measure.
There must be some explanation
for Mr. Trindle's action in seeking
to prevent the people of Salem from
voting on the repeal of a measure
that, unless repealed, promises to
double the bonded debt of the city,
increase their their taxes and water
rates, and indefinitely delay need
ed improvements in the water sys
tem here," said the statement. "But
I cannot conceive what that expla
nation might be.
"It would seem that it Is the
duty of the city attorney to inter
pret and enforce city ordinances
rather than state statutes, parti
cularly in this caw, where the state
constitution specifically confers upon

own method of exercising the Ini
tiative.
"In previous Instances since h
has been city attorney Mr. Trihdle
lias held the city election ordin
ance to be adequate, and In one
case In the courts defended the or
dinance he now would have set
aside.
"Tlie petitions on the measure for
repeal of the $2,500,000 bonding
amendment complied with the eity
ordinance in every rcsiiect; they
were filed within the time limit
prescribed by the ordinance, and
they were signed by more than
double the required number of
voters.
"More voters signed the repeal
petitions than voted for tlie bond
amendment when it was passed at
a special election last November.
Obviously when only slightly more
than 30 per cent of the voters cast
ballos at the special election, and
when the bond amendment securrd
only a mnjority of 600 in cannot
be classed as anything other than
minority legislation.
The $2,500,000 water system
scheme was put over on the people
by hlrh pressure propaganda de
signee! to sell a fanry project de
signed by engineers who wrote into
the proposal commissions for tlieni
fcclves amounting to more than
$100,000.
"Already $6000 city tax money has
been diverted and paid to these
engineers for their work in seeking
to promote business for tliemselves.
The charter amendment under the
provisions of which these engineers
were employed specifically proviiU-s
that they shall be paid out of the
proceeds of water bonds sold.
"Not one dollar's worth of thte
bonds have been sold, yet the en
gineers who devised the propose d
project and who contracted to elo
certain preliminary work under the
terms of the amendment have brt-n
paid $6000 of the city's money div
erted from other tax funds.
"Now because the taxpayers and
citizens of' Salem seek to repeal that
unsound, unreasonable and extrav
agant project through submission of
the proposal to a vote of al of the
people at a general election every
thing possible Is being done to pre
vent such an expression of tlie
people's will.
"If a majority of the people of Sa
lem feel that this $2,500,000 bond
proposal is unsound and unreason
ableand the only way that can be
determined is at an election where
at Jrast a majority of the voters cast
their ballots they certainly should
not be denied the privilege of voting.
The fact that more than 2300
voters signed the repeal petitions
should be conclusive evidence that
the slightly more than 2100 people
who voted for the bonds last De
cember were not expressing the sen
timents of a majority of the taxpay
ers and citizens."
Continuation of
PRISON BATTLE
i from page one)
between 600 and 800 policemen,
emergency squads, police boats and
airplanes being sent to the scene.
The police army was equioprd
with machine guns, rifles, revolvers
and tear gas bombs.
Tlie peace committees consist d
of two men each. The Italian fac
tion was represented by Joey Rao,
Harlem gangster, and Frank Maa
zio. Holshod, the man killed, wns
one of the representatives of the
Irish.
Holshod was said to have striuk
Mazzio and then the fight began,
spreading among some 200 prison
ers who were being marched past
the warden's office.
The prison has a normal capacity
of 1,368 but there are present l,fl;Q
inmates. The hundreds in their
cells began screaming and shaking
the bars as the fight began and for
almost an hour there was bedlam.
After the riot was quelled the
surviving "peace makers" were
taken into the warden's office for
questioning and about 500 prison
ers were herded into an ante room
for examination later. They seem
ed in an ugly mood and more than
100 patrolmen were assigned to
watch them, ready with revolvers,
rifles and gas bombs to stop any
outbreak.
Tlie polico boats continued to
circle the island and the planes to
wheel close overhead.
None of the injured were r-enous-ly
hurt, most of the injuries being
scalp wounds and body bruises.
The police record of Holshod, tlie
prison peace maker allrged to Iiae
started the riot which caused his
death, shows that he was sent to
the East river island penitentiary
two years ago for felonious assault
and shooting, He had served two
terms in Sing sing, escaping once
in 1923. He was recaptured after
a gun battle with detectives in
Brooklyn.
