Tuesday; march 21, 1933 THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON 1' LOCALS I Small boys who are (lying cer tain advertising kites are cautioned by W. M. Hamilton, manager ot the P, Gh E. company, against partici pating In the pastime too close to power lines, particularly when many ot the kites are being flown with what Is known as tinsel string. This string, Hamilton says, acts al most as a wire does In conducting electricity and there ll the possi bility of serious Injury. Hamilton does not want to dampen the en thusiasm of the kite fliers nor duly alarm parents, but merely asks that ordinary precaution be taken by the boys. Last year, it is point ed out, a boy flying a kite In the north central part of the city, was knocked unconscious when the string, of the tinsel variety, came In contact with a high voltage wire.

COURT ORDERS NEW TRIAL IN TRESPASS CASE The appeal of Arthur E.- Olden burg and Lillian B. Oldenburg from the decision of Judge Gale S. Hill ot Marlon county circuit court, who dismissed the case: of the Olden- burgs vs. Benjamin L. and Mabel Claggett, a proceeding to enjoin the defendants from trespass, was sustained by the state supreme court this morning in an opinion written by Justice Campbell and the case was remanded for a new trial. It was alleged by the Oldenburgs in their original pleading that In March. 1931. thev built a fence about a corner section of their farm In Marion cuonty at a point where it abutted upon the Claggett farm, and that the Claggetts, who had been for years crossing a corner of the Oldenburg farm on an undedi cated roadway, twice tore down a portion of the fence. The defense of the Claggetts was that they were the rightful owners of the corner piece of land travers ed by the roadway by adverse pos session. Having used that portion of land for more than 20 years.- On the grounds that equity had no jur isdiction In the matter the defend ants move that the suit be dismissed and the lower court so ordered. Without ruling upon whether It is a question of equity or law the supreme court holds that, even though the defendants did not de mand a trial by Jury, "the conten tions appearing in the pleadings, present an Issue either In equity or at law," and therefore the plaintiff was entitled to a hearing. In sup port of Its opinion the court cites section 6-102, Oregon Code 1930, as follows: "No case shall be dismissed for haveing been brought on the wrong side of the court. The plaintiff shall have the right to amend his pleadings to obviate any objection on that account. " "This amendment to the statute was intended to enable the parties to a legal controversy, over which the court had jurisdiction either at law or in equity, to have the cause determined, even if the party plaint iff did mistake his remedy," reads tne opmion.

Giants' Manager Corrects Weak Spots Of Last Year, Hopes For Better Luck By PAUL zTMMERMAN ' Los Angeles, March 21 (A3) With their defensive fences in good repair, save perhaps on lork liiants look to the 11)33 wiui a reeling emu lost year s saa story will not be retold. Manager BUI Terry has built up a sturdy reserve back ot his regu lar. Infield, mindful of the Injuries which rather messed up things in 1931 and 1932. He has put new pow er Into the outfield and more life back of the plate, leavlna- the only question mark written after his hurling corps. The Giants Infield appear espec ially strong. Travis (Stonewall) Jackson has been more active than ever at shortstop since his legs were overhauled during the winter. Hugb- le crttz- commence in his once ail ing arm has been restored and Johnny Verges has Improved his work at third and at the plate. Terry completes what he Is will ing to call it any time, the best In field In the league. He has been clubbing the ball at a pace which promises another year like that of last season when' he hit 355. His work at first has been ot the same sturdy caliber. Terry figured he lost too many games behind the plate in 1932, but predicts that this -won't happen again, with Gups Mancuso, a pep pery little catcher with a- tine throwing arm and lots ot power In his hitting, and Paul Richards, purchased from Indianapolis of the American association, to carry most ot the burden. Mancuso went to the Giants In a trade with the 3t. Louis Cardinals. George Davis, who hit .309 as leadoff man with the Phillies last year is the most important addi tion to the outfield. Levin Ott, a twenty-four year old veterans of eight years with the club, is still looked upon as one of the best outer gardeners of the circuit and Joe Moore probably will fill the other spot. An effort has been made to help solve the pitching problem with lots of hard work during the spring training grind. Carl Hubbel, Fred Fltzsimmons, Leroy Parmelee, Glenn Spencer, Ray Starr, Adolfo Luque, Bill Shores, Hal Schumacher and Herman Bell seem to be the best choices for a full season of activity. MISS PERKINS STARTSREFORM Washington, March 21 UP) Sec retary Frances Perkins today out lined a sweeping reorganization ot her labor department including complete overhauling ot the em ployment service, a scientific sur vcy of the statistical service and I consolidation of the ' immigration service.

Miss Perkins said she discovered that but $12,970 remained of the appropriation on March 15 to cover a monthly salary set-up of $11 and $4,000 traveling expenses. Meager reports were on file, she said, as to how the appropriation had been expended but the totals were $107,574 for salaries, $62,695 travelling expenses, and $8,243 for "conuaemiai expenses - not item ized. The 16 on furlough, she said, were men who had been transferred to the regular immigration service shortly before she took office, and she had decided it was "not fair to allow the 16 preferential treat ment." The duties of the men who were dropped were placed upon the dis trict directors.
