MILK STRIKE IN
WISCONSIN NEAR
REAL WARFARE
Milwaukee, Wis., Feb. 31 (LP)
Wisconsin's milk war strike veered
toward a "milk war" today, with
thousands ot strikers picketing
highways and unsympathetic farm
ers and deputies armed with tear
gas bombs and revolvers clashing
with them, at a doren points.
Ominous events of the past fen
hours were:
Pickets dumped milk In seven
counties, forcibly closed cheese fac
tories and poured kerosene over
cheese after beating proprietors.
The scope of the strike spread to
rail shipments as 250 pickets pre
vented the Green Bay and Western
railroad from picking up a carload
ot 8,000 pounds of skimmed milk.
Non-striking farmers banded Into
picket groups to reinforce 500 spe
cial armed deputies.
Persons fearful of widespread
bloodshed and violence appealed to
Governor Albert C. Schmedeman for
state troops.
Added to those disturbing devel
opments was dissension within the
ranks of the strikers. Hundreds of
dairymen gathered at Madison for a
meeting called by Walter M. Singler,
dapper young head of the Wiscon
sin Co-operative milk pool, which is
sponsoring the strike.
That meeting was to determine
whether the strike shall continue
on the basis of demanding $1.40 per
hundredweight for milk, whether it
shall be broadened to include high
er prices for all dairy products, and
whether attempts shall be made to
extend the strike to other states.
Singler, husky Shiocton farmer
who wears a goatee and spats, ut
tered the following warning regard
ing use of tear gas bombs by depu
ties: "They better lay off that stuff.
Two can play that game. Pickets
will not use violence if let alone but
no one will be able to stop them
ii treated rougniy by officers."
RECEIVES NOTE
Denver, Colo,, Feb. 21 (LP) Claude
K. Boettcher has received further
notes from the kidnapers of his
son, Charles Boettcher, II, but has
established no other contact with
them as yet, he said today.
Since Sunday I have received
many more ransom notes, one of
which, receivod Monday morning, I
am convinced came from my sons
abductors, although in this letter
no identification was enclosed and
no message provided for communi
cation," Boettcher said.
All of the notes demand sub
stantially the same procedure, call
off the police, go alone to some
designated remote spot, leave ran
som, and return home, with no as
surance whatever that my sjn would
ue reieosea.
"It is very obvious that I am pow
erless to call off the police and
under present conditions, it would
be absolutely impossible for me to
go to any designated point alone
without being followed by police and
representatives of the press, even if
I were willing to do so. Hence I
am powerless to act on the instruc
tions received up to this time.
"No contact has yet been estab
lished with me through any inter
mediary as suggested in my state
ment published Monday morning."
Jean Eastridge, who was seriously
injured when the automobile she
was riding in with Sam Harbison
early Sunday morning was struck
by an unidentified motorist about
10 miles south of Salem on the Pa
clfic highway, was reported today
by Dr. Kenneth Power as showing
signs of improvement. She is still
In a serious condition, however.
Both Miss Eastridge and young Har
bison were knocked unconscious at
the time of the accident. No trace
of the driver of the second machine
has been found.
The case of W. J. Gill against
Philip Uttke has been dismissed in
circuit court on motion of plaintiff,
settlement having been reached out
of court.
When the street car lines In
Georgetown, British Guiana, were
suspended the city reduced license
fees for busses to encourage their
operation.

CONGRESS TO
LEAVE REPEAL
TO THE STATES
Advised In a telegram from Sen
ator Charles McNary that there is
little prospect that congress will en
act any legislation setting up the
machinery for electing delegates
and holding constitutional conven
tions In the states to vote on repeal
of the 18th amendment, Represen
tative Romeo Gouley today asked
action of the house committee on
elections on his constitutional con
vention bill.
Immediately following passage of
the Blaine resolution by the na
tional house yesterday, which com
pleted submission of the repeal
question to the state, Gouley tele
graphed to Senator McNary asking
full data as to the congressional
program and advice as to what
should be included in his bill before
the legislature to set up the ma
chinery for a constitutional conven
tion in Oregon.
Senator McNary today replied that
it is practically certain that the
task of providing the machinery for
the conventions will be left to the
states. i
Gouley announced at noon that
he ask amendment of his bill in
committee to include the proviso
tnat any and all congressional pro
visions for holding the conventions,
if any are enacted, shall prevail over
the terms of the state act.
It is expected that the committee
will report the Gouley bill out fav
orably to the house not later than
Wednesday and that It will be placed
on final passage in the house
Thursday or Friday.

ARCHERD CASE
TRIAL ORDERED
NEXT FRIDAY
Circuit Judge Lewelllng this af
ternoon denied a motion for a con
tinuance made in the case of Char
les R. Archerd, charged with larceny
of certain wheat, and stated that
the case will go to trial next Friday
morning unless a demurrer to the
indictment Is sustained prior to the
trial.
The motion was filed this morn
ing by mail from O. F. Pruess,
Grants Pass, attorney for Archerd.
it mentioned the fact that a
murrer to the indictment was still
pending without argument and that
the defense had not had time to
prepare its case and asked continu
ance until the week of Marcn 13,
"How long ago was this offense
alleged to have been committed?'
the court asked District Attorney
Trindle, who was resisting the mo
tion for continuance.
"Over a year," said the district
attorney.
"And when was the plea enter
ed?" asked the court.
"On February 6, If I remember
rightly."
"The case will go to trial," said
the court. "In the first place the
motion is not sustained by affidav
its. But, nevertheless, the offense, if
alleged to have been committed
year ago, should not be hanging
over the defendant. He should be
tried, and if Innocent, acquitted, if
guilty he should be given what pun
ishment he deserves. If he entered
his plea February 6 he's had plenty
of time to prepare his case.
"That is why courts receive criti
cism, why lawyers receive criticism,
these dilatory tactics, hanging on
and hanging on, with continuances
and pleas. This case should go to
trial."
Who will try the case is the next
question. It will be either Judge
Lewelllng or Judge Arlie Walker of
Polk and Yamhill. Judge Lewelllng
was to talk the matter over with
Judge Walker this evening over the
phone. The plan is, If agreeable to
Judge Walker, to have Judge wai
ker come here, try this case and at
the same time dispose of other mat
ters he has pending in this court,
and Judge Lewelllng will go to Dal
las to handle matters for Judge
Walker there.
District Attorney Trindle stated
as to the demurrer to the Indict-
ment that ho has a written stipula
tion with Pruess that this may be
decided at the morning of the trial,
if the demurrer is sustained it will
automatically prevent the trial as
the indictment will be thrown out.
BAROMETER TO
RULE BEHAVIOR
Fort Worth, Texas, (If) When
the barometer reads 29.70 or below,
be careful.
That figure is the barometric di
viding line between cheerful, good
behavior and the feeling that leads
to murder and suicide, according to
D. S. Landls, retired weather ob
server and student of the effects
ot weather on crime.
"When the barometer foils low,
one finds a condition of rarlficd
air that allows less oxygen per in
take of breath. That means a lack
of proper amount of oxygen in the
blood, a situation which sets up
mental and physical stagnation,"
Landls explained.
Contrary to romantic novels, the
moon nas notning to 00 wit-n 11,
It's barometric- pressure that makes
one feel exnnarated or depressed.
"Varied climatic factors produce
varied mental products," Landls be
lieves. "Whlttler wouldn't have written
his great poems had he lived in
South America. Lowell would not
have seen "The Vision of Sir Laun-
fel' had his home been In Russia.
"And I wouldn't have produced
the thousands of poems In this
room had I lived in Michigan,1
Landls, indicating his book cabinet.
When not busy on the treatise on
"The Police Blotter and tne weatn
cr," Landls' chief hobby is poetry.
DOUGLAS FARMERS
STOP FORECLOSURES
Roseburg, Ore.. Feb. 21 (IP) The
first anti-farm mortgage foreclosure
demonstration in Douglas county
took place here today when a group
of approximately 150 farmers gath
ered at the courthouse at the hour
set for the sale of the Montgomery
farm at Day's Creek on a mortgage
Judgment. There was no disorder.
The sale was postponed, however,
upon assent of the bank holding-the
mortgage, when a committee from
the Douglas county farmers' protec
tive league conferred with the bank
officials. This league, organized lost
night, announces that it is forming
committees to Investigate cases
where farmers are in danger of los
ing their property, and through co
operative effort will try to assist
such farmers in renewal of obliga
tions or in securing sufficient finan
cial aid to make partial payment
that will postpone foreclosure.

SEEKS TITLE TO
An amended complaint has been
filed in circuit court by S. R. Ste
venson against the Northwest Fruit
Products company to have his title
to the old products company and
brewery company property made
good as against bondholders. Ste
venson claims fee title to the pro
perty by virtue of a tax title for
which he paid, it is said, in excess
of $25,000,
He filed complaint some time
back but a motion was interposed
to require him to name holders of
the bonds ot $220,000 issue against
tne property The amended com
plaint sets these out naming H. R.
Crawford, Northwest National bank,
West Coast Bancorporation, Sch
midt Estate, Inc., Larable Brothers,
bankers, Fox Security .company,
Olympia National Bank, Capital
National Bank and O. M. Mlall, as
the only known bondholders and
as holders of all the bonds.
The suit takes on added interest
in light of the fact that Frank
Schmidt, former heavy holder of
Brewery stock, was recently in Sa
lem and announced negotiations
were under way for again using the
properties for brewery purposes as
soon as anti-prohibition legislation
is enacted to make it possible.
RATE REDUCTION
SURPRISES RAILDOADS
St. Paul, Minn., Feb. 21 (IP) Au
thorization to "reduce" passenger
fares over the new Bleber route
from Portland, Ore., to San Francis
co, granted the Great Northern rail
road and three other lines by the
interstate commerce commission
yesterday, was described as a "sur
prise" today by the Great Northern,
which never has operated passenger
service on the route.
"In view of existing conditions,
we have not contemplated passenger
service on the Bleber route," the
passenger department headquarters
here said, "The passenger depart
ment falls to understand the deci
sion, for It apparently refers to a
condition that has not existed and
grants authority for a matter In
which the Great Northern is not J
interested."

TO DEPOSITOR
Portland, Feb. 21 (IP) County of
ficers here today said they had no
word of any developments in con
nection with the attack last Satur
day on J. O. Turner, 72, of Grcsham,
by six men who represented them
selves as depositors in the First In
land National bank of Pendleton.
Turner was forced to sign a waiver
on his $1,000 deposit. He said the
men, for whom warrants were is
sued, declared his signature was
necessary before the bank could
reopen.
J. W. Maloney. former president
of the old Inland Empire bank, was
In Portland Monday, to confer with
Turner, who is a retired Umatilla
county rancher,
"I came here to express to Mr.
Turner the regrets of the citizens
of Pendleton over the unfortunate
fracas and to assure him such ac
tion was considered deplorable,'
Maloney said.
He said the bank, closed since last
October, has been reopened and will
be ready for business within ten
days.
Depositors of the bank voluntarily
solicited waivers from other depos
itors, Maloney said, In their deter
mination to reopen the institution.
It was his view the men who vslted
Turner became too zealous to ob
tain his signature and lost their
tempers in trying to persuade him
to sign

TO GET THINGS
STARTED AHEAD
ROOSEVELT AIM
New York, Feb. 21 W President
elect Roosevelt said today he had
discussed the world economic con
ference and lnter-governmental
debts with Ambassador Claudel of
riniwo, 1110 presiucm-eiecc Declin
ed to go into details with either his
talk with M. Claudel or Douglas D.
Herrldge, the Canadian minister,
another caller.
Mr. Roosevelt Issued the follow
ing statement late today:
"After conferring with Secretary
stimson In Washington on Monday,
the Frenoh ambassador came to see
me in New York today.
"We discussed unofficially all
questions relating to collaboration
between France and the United
States in world affairs.
"These included, of course, the
world economic conference and in
tergovernmental debts.
"These conversations will continue
and the new secretary of state, af
ter his selection is announced, will
doubtless see M. Claudel.
"I had a delightful meeting with
Mr. Herrldge, the Canadian minis
ter.
"This was the first time I had
the privilege of meeting him and
we discussed many matters of mu
tual Interest to Canada and the
United States."
The president-elect declined to
amplify this statement and said he
had no more dates either with for
eign envoys or with Secretary Stim
son. He explained to newspapermen
that the big purpose of today's
meetings was to "get things started
ahead ot time."
it was said authoritatively that
the Far Eastern situation was not

Mr. Roosevelt declined to say whe
ther the French had made any rep

GLASS' REASONS FOR
STAYING IN SENATE
Washington, Feb. 21 m Senator
Glass (D., Va.), denied in a formal
statement today that he had de
clined an invitation to be secretary
ot the treasury in the Roosevelt
cabinet because of differences witb
the president-elect on fundamental
Issues.
"The simple fact is that I prefer
to remain in the senate because no
body has shaken my conviction that
I can be of more usefulness there
to the country and to the Incoming
administration, than at the treas
ury, "Tills conviction, urged to President-elect
Roosevelt at the outset,
lias persisted to the end prompted
my final answer. It was confirmed
by the unomlty ot expression In
the senate and in Virginia. I deep
ly regret that I could reach no dif
ferent conclusion."
