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 had dis
continued the posts of 55 special
immigration investigators and had
put on furlough 16 others because
of the imminent exhaustion of the
$200,000 appropriation under which
they operate,
These were the operatives, scat
tered all over the country, to be
used by the secretary of labor In
determining it laborers were being
brought Into the United States un
der control in violation ot the im
migration law.
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
