right of appeal from a ruling of the

the deposit being insured by the
surety company. When the bank
failed the government filed claim
for preference. This was rejected by
the bank superintendent. In the
meantime the surety company paid
the government and it now asks to
be subrogated to the rights of the
government. It also asks if the re
jection is not reconsidered that its
petition be considered as an appeal.

MOHAIR INDUSTRY
There seem to be no prices for
mohair says the Angora Journal.
British reports are that not more
than one million pounds is held in
Bradford, where upon occasion a
single firm has held three times
that quantity. Only a small quan
tity of foreign hair is in storage at
the English mohair center, and "it
is virtually impossible to quote
prices," says our authority. Russia
and the near east are given as the
most promising outlets for raw ma
terial from the goats.
Turkish exports of mohair have
been mostly to the Soviets, totaling
nearly a million pounds. Germany
is the most astonishing entry into
the Istanboul (Constantinople)
market, being not a particular buy
er, but taking yellows and other low
quality lots, with skin-mohair of
low average. Altogether the world
market for mohair is much like the
American situation nothing doing.
END CONFERENCE
ON NRA'S FUTURE
Washington, Aug. 36 (LP) Presi
dent Roosevelt and Donald Richberg,
chief NRA counsel, today wound up
their discussion in connection with
NRA reorganization, pending a
meeting in Hyde Park, N. Y., in two
weeks.
Richberg, who insisted the conver
sations were general involving also
work of the executive council, of
which he is the temporary head
said he would have a report ready
Monday, which will be a follow-up
of an earlier one presented Mr.
Roosevelt. He indicated this second
report would be an interpretation of
the NRA in uie light of the anti
trust act.
The conference today was a fol
low-up of those held yesterday by
the president with Richberg and
General Hugh S. Johnson. The pres
ident has made clear that regard
less of what his final decision is on
NRA reorganization, Johnson is to
remain head of the recovery agency.
THREE INJURED IN
AUTO ACCIDENTS
Three men were injured in two
automobile accidents in Salem last
night. Burl Crum, 178 State street,
and W. A. Free, 658 Center, were
sent to the hospital, and Reed Wat-
tenberger, 585 Hood street, received
emergency dental treatment at the
city hall.
Crum received a severe gash in
the forehead by being thrown
against the windshield of a delivery
truck driven by Wattenberger when
the vehicle collided with a fruit
truck parked on Hood street be
tween Fifth and Church. W. Redd
away, Oregon City man operating
the truck, was repairing a tire at
the time and was not hurt. Mrs.
Wottcnberger was uninjured. The
police arrested Wattenberger on a
charge of driving while under the
influence of intoxicating liquor. He
lost several teeth in the accident.
Free received a compound leg
fracture when he was knocked down
on Center street between Church
and Cottage by a car driven by
Mrs. Fred Hunt, 2495 Walker street.
BACK FROM LOOP

EMOTIONS LAST
ONLY FRACTIONS
OF A SECOND
New York, Aug. 25 (TP) Leo Aa
rons, the photographer, says he's
studied thousands of people over
the space of a year and learned
that "pure" emotions last just so
long shock, for instance, one three
hundredth of a second.
His timing apparatus was the de
licate shutter of a camera.
By "pure" emotions he means
those umningled with others. Bore
dom, for instance, standing on Its
own legs, can last up to a second.
After that It turns into, or mingles
with bewilderment, disgust, hate,
or maybe pity.
Fright, he said, will last 1 -200th
of a second, while fear Is relatively
eternal at l-10th of a second. Ter
ror is a little more fleeting, l-25th
of a second.
A second Is so long to Aarons. he
calls any emotions of that length
"sustained."
Melancholy, sorrow and despair
are all sustained.
Annoyance and anger are sus
tained, but real honest-to-goodness
fury is just a matter of l-200th of
a second.
Pleasure is sustained. So is ecs
tasy. The common, garden variety
of joy Is only 1-25 th of a second.
Affection, devotion, passion all
sustained.
Hysteria he studied a lot of wo
men for this never lasts in the
"pure" state beyond l-50th of a
second, nervousness, pain ana tor
ture are sustained.
Bewilderment and defiance, far
apart in character, time together
at l-100th of a second.
Sympathy, pity, curiosity, bore
dom, disgust, and hatred end the
gamut as sustained emotions.
Aaron thinks neurotics have the
best time in life, feel more.
He says women are more fleeting
than men emotionally, also more
able to fake things.
FARLEY ASKS
Sea Girt, N. J., Aug. 25 (LP) Post
master General James A. Farley to
day urged "liberal republicans" to
vote democratic this fall to help de
feat what he termed "the blind re
actionaries banded together under
the banner of the republican party."
In his plea for support of demo
cratic party nominees by republican
liberals, Farley asserted in a speecn
here that "the liberal background
and liberal history of Uie democratic
party is more than a mere name."
"Here at last is a philosophy oi
government which puts human val
ues first," he said.
Criticizing republican charges that
the new deal recovery program was
curbing individual freedom, Farley
asserted the critics "apparently
mean the kind of freedom that they
enjoyed a few years ago the free
dom which resulted in great pros
perity for them and in the loss of
even the barest necessities for oth
ers."
Farley, defending every phase of
the new deal, said that in his opin
ion business "is definitely on the
mend."
12TH STREET ROAD
ALLOCATION SAFE
The $20,000 for paving the 12th
street cutoff to the Pacific highway
allocated from federal funds is safe,
reports the county court on its re
turn from Portland where a re
allocation of funds was made to
meet the government demand that
provision be made for the Wilson
river road.
There was no cut made in the
$20,000 and money was shaved off
from other places to meet the de
mand for the Wilson river road. In
addition to paving the cutoff the
$20,000 provided for here will also
cut down two hills. The work will
be done by the state highway com
mission and how soon work is
started is dependent on action of
the commission.
PORTLAND TEACHER
TO RETAIN HER JOB
Portland, Aug. 25 J. Agnes
Dugan, Portland teacher, was re
tained and all charges against her
dismissed as the outcome of a pro
longed school board hearing after
she invoked the school teachers'
tenure law to retain her Job.
Many complaints against her cen
tered around a shortage of textbooks.
Charles A. Rice, public schools su
perintendent, who ordered her dis
missal, today determined to make a
special survey of the textbook situa
tion. It was declared at the hearing
that there was a surplus in the text
book fund while shortages of books
existed in various school rooms.
The hearing assumed proportions
of a community spectacle as large
crowds gathered to hear testimony.
Miss Dugan hired a lawyer to pre
sent her case.

LAST DIAMOND
New York, Aug. 25 (IP) The last
of the gang headed by the late Jack
"Legs" Diamond was found today,
his bodv riddled with machine gun
slugs, the legs hacked off and the
torso jammed into a trunk piacea
with grim irony behind the home
of Gen. Louis Stotesbury, president
of the Humane society.
The body was identified from
fingerprints as that of Bernard
McMahon, 41, whose criminal record
extended back two decades. A
dabbler in various forms of crime,
McMahon was one of the lesser
cogs of the Diamond machine but
his death was in keeping with the
tradition of violence established by
his criminal peers.
From the amputated legs the
medical examiner extracted more
than a dozen machine gun bullets.
A curcorv examination Indicated,
however, that the actual cause of
death was blood poisoning. This
led police to theorize that McMahon
had either been shot in a gang feud
or had been wounded in a holdup
and gone for treatment to an un
derworld quack.
The body was in a bad state or
preservation but the medical ex
aminer estimated death had taken
place only 12 hours earlier. Al
though this would Indicate McMa
hon died Wednesday the day of
the $427,000 armored car hold-up-
there was no disposition on tne part
of police to connect the crimes.

PEN OUTBREAK
PUT DOWN BY
GUARDS' GUNS
CollegevlUe, Pa., Aug. 25 (JPh
State police and guards today
crushed an outbreak at the eastern
state penitentiary at Oraterford
after 200 convicts had rioted lor
more than three hours.
The prisoners started fires In cell
blocks and outbuildings, destroying
a barn and damaging several other
shacks, .
Forty state policemen, summoned
from barracks in eastern Pennsyl
vania, armed with machine guns
and rifles, subdued them at noon
without firing a shot. No one was
seriously injured and none escaped.
The convicts, after their destruc
tive rampage, were cowed by Uie
troopers after they had massed on
a hill inside the wall and defied
the guards to disarm them of the
clubs, iron bars and other crude
weapons they carried. The peni
tentiary houses about 1,600.
A member of the board of trus
tees said the prison kitchen was
ruined and thousands of dollars
worth of new machinery in the in
dustrial plant was wrecked.
Graterford was built with con
vict labor at a cost of $7,500,000 to
relieve the crowded conditions at
the Philadelphia prison.
HUEY INVOLVED
New Orleans, Aug. 25 (LP) A fed
eral grand jury investigating in
come tax payments of Louisiana
politicians, directly involved the
Huey P. Long state administration
in Its inquisition today. It sub
poenaed all records of the state
highway commission and all mem
bers of the commission.
The highway commission has
spent more than $60,000,000 since the
Long political machine took charge
of the state government. Enemies
have charged that its records would
reveal unprecedented irregularities.
Charges of grafting on gravel and
road contracts have been made
openly innumerable times.
Governor O. K. Allen was chair
man before he was pushed up to
nead tne government wnen juong
was elected senator. While Long
was governor and Allen was chair
man, the Kingfish exercised iron
control over it. Since he became
senator, Long has exerccised con
trol over all branches of state gov
ernment. Summons were served on A. P.
Tugwell, chairman; J. S. Nugent,
vice chairman; Warren Raggio,
secretary; W. H. Norckauer, state
highway engineer; J. R. Wendt,
state maintenance engineer; L. G.
Vidrine, auditor.
Tugwell said in Baton Rouge he
would have the commission's re
cords loaded in a moving van and
transported to New Orleans. All
subpoenas were returnable Monday.

Housing Shortage In
Salem Before Fall
Indicated By Demand
A housing shortage may exist in Salem during the early
months of fall if the demand for living quarters continues
apace with that of recent weeks, it was learned today through
a cnecic oz concerns wnicn noia ay
finger on the pulse of the local sit
uation.
Desirable untenanted dwellings
have been hard to find for several
weeks and with the influx of sev
eral families even those houses
which tleterlorated through lack of
improvement are being sought.
The local electric power company
office reports that their stock of
meters has been exhausted while
the number of recording instru
ments listed on their "suspense"
sheets are less by two thirds than
the number carried a few months
Fight Twixt
Scorpfr
ion And
Spider
Bitter
Long Beach, cal., Aug. 25 (IP) The
lady grew too confident and erred,
and as a result, the grim battle be
tween the deadly Black Widow spi
der and the venemous Scorpion pro
ceeded today on about even terms,
with neither showing signs of weak
ening. Each was a prisoner of the other,
yet neither could get into position to
unleash deadly poison which would
end the fight. Hundreds of specta
tors crowded a garage where the
battle raged.
Until late yesterday, the spider
held the upper hand. It had woven
an imprisoning web around its much
larger opponent, even to the point
of enmeshing the stinger on the
scorpion's tail.
Betting odds among the spectators
increased to five to one as the Black
Widow finished tying up her adver
sary. Resting then for a moment on
a silky strand, she swayed too close
ly to a free foreclaw. The scorpion
caught her quickly and held her
there helplessly. But it could not
free its stinger to finish the fight.
The spider already has lost a leg
in the grim battle, but her general
condition was much better than the
scorpion's. The latter seemed groggy
and appeared to be losing strength.
DRY CONVENTION
SHORT OF MEMBERS
Plans to name an independent
"dry" candidate for congress from
the first district were under way
today, following a meeting here last
night of 86 "drys" from Marion,
Polk, Lane and Linn counties.
As the number present was 14
short of the nomination provisions
of the Oregon law, time of nomina
tion and adoption of a platform was
set for Friday night, August 31.
Speakers were J. H. Jennison, sec
retary of the Christian Federation
of Marlon county, who called the
meeting; J. Lincoln Fills, chairman
of the group; and Frederick C. Hef
fron, Eugene attorney, who ran for
congress on the "dry" ticket in the
previous congressional election; and
F. G. Franklin, professor at Wil
lamette university.
SEEK SOLUTION OF
SOFTBALL CRISIS
In an effort to reach a satisfac
tory solution of the difficulties
which have developed In the Salem
Softball league since the playing
of the much discussed championship
game between Parker's and Fade's
last Thursday night, Harry Col
lins, president of the league, has
called a meeting for Saturday night
at his office. Managers ox tne
eight clubs will be asked to partici
pate. An amlcaDie settlement oi
the problem Is especially sought In
view of the state tournament, which
will be played In Salem on rive
nights beginning next Tuesday.
Withdrawal of Lu Singer, man
ager of the Parker club, Friday
night of the protest lodged during
the playing of the championship
game the preceding night, resulted
in further complicating an aireaay
extremely muddled situation.
President Collins expressed tlw
hope that managers and officials
would get together In a rrienair
snlrlt and work toward the suc
cess of the state tournament which
will bring 14 out of town clubs
to the city.

back. Part of the meter shortage is
due to the fact that some of them
are being worked over for installa
tion in connection with water heater
jobs.
The "suspense" list of the power
company contains meters which are
left in dwellings which have been
vacated, pending the arrival of a
new tenant. A perusal of this list
allows entire streets without a va
cant house while in most instances
where vacancies exist a check up re
veals the properties are not at all
desirable.
The water company reports vir
tually no change in the number of
connections in recent months, In
fact the statistics of July show ex
actly the same figures In tills con
nection as compared with the pre
ceding month. Just three new con
nections were made during the past
month, indicating an extremely
low point in construction work.
An increase in electrical connec
tions is a reflection of better busi
ness conditions, It is pointed out,
since it is possible to get along
without this form of service. On the
other hand there are few instances
where discontinuance of water does
not work a hardship.

LEWIS SILENT
ON EXPULSION
OF HIS SPOUSE
New York, Aug. 25 (flV-Stnclalr
Lewis raised his eye-brows and
decided that silence was the better
part of husbandly valor when he
learned today of the expulsion from
Nazi Germany of his wife Dorothy
Thompson.
The Nobel prize winner bustled
out of the casting office of the Em
pire theater, where he was found
completing the cast for his new
play, "Jay Hawker,' oponing on
Broadway next month.
Lewis said he had not heard any
thing from Miss Thompson since
Thursday when he received a cable
saying that she was In Berlin and
expected to remain there "for sev
eral days."
"She did not expect to be in Ber
lin much more than a week, I be
lieve," Lewis said, puffing nervously
on a clgaret.
"Her arrangements were to sail
home on September 7."
Lewis' only comment on his wife's
expulsion was:
"Something Like Eddie Mowrer, I
guess."
He was referring to Edward An
sell Mowrer, correspondent for the
Chicago Daily News at Berlin and
winner of the Pulitzer award for
foreign correspondence, whose posi
tion became untenable in Berlin.
He was transferred to Paris.
Miss Thompson's article on Hitler
appeared in a popular monthly
magazine about a year and a half
ago, he said.
Before that, she was familiar with
the German situation as chief of
bureau for seven years of the
Philadelphia Ledger and New York
Post.
Grinning broadly, Lewis said "she
was always regarded as a good
newspaperman."
Lewis appeared unworrled, but
asked "keep me advised of any developments."
BY GRAND JURY
Assault with intent to kill is
charged against Joseph Qulnn in
one of four indictments returned
by the grand Jury today. The in
dictment alleges that on August 12
he assaulted Jesse Baldwin with a
loaded revolver. Stories told by the
two men about the alleged assault
differed, according to officers. Qulnn
claimed he had sold the gun to
Baldwin and that when Baldwin
tried to hold up two pedestrians on
North Liberty street Qulnn tried
to take the gun away and was shot.
Baldwin denied this but said Qulnn
shot him after Baldwin had been
robbed of $30 by Qulnn. That .
amount of money was found In
Quinn's possession.
Other true bills were returned as
follows:
Andrew Jairl, charged with non
support of two minor children.
W. B. Creasy, charged with ut
tering a forged instrument.
Edwin Sink, charged with larceny
by balllie, It being alleged he con
verted $25 to his own use, same
alleged to have been the property
of Winifred M. Griffin. Sink was
tried awhile back on a non-support
charge and was acquitted.
A not true bill was returned In
favor of David McRae, who was
Investigated as to a charge of as
sault and battery on the person of.
Cleo McRae.

I would straggle down to the office tour hours
late. I would look at my watch and see that It
was time for me to go to luncb. I would follow
Walt Thompson around for a couple of hours
to keep in the shade. I would place four non
odorless gas bombs In Archie Holt's car. I would
check up on the hop market to see hew much
the hops were worth that I almost got away
with some years ago, 1 would write Ott Schmidt's
fan dancer a letter. Then I would write mj
column, I would ny "Folks, In the past yean
I've put forth no small amount of chatter. To
day, I'm all chattered out (I said Chattered).
If you really want some laughs go see Harold
IJoyi In The Cat's Paw now showing at the
Grand Theatre."
That's what I would do if I were
Don Upjohn today!
