"Seems queer how many boys be come ill just as the pheasant hunt ing season opens," mused Principal Fred Wolf today as he was thumb ing through a handful of excuses turned in since Monday morning. The excuses ran the gamut from a bad cold through to unexpected death of a grandmother. Here and there was a truthful one "gone hunting." Those who came right out and said they were absent be cause they wanted a crack at a china bird were given a clean bill of health by the principal. The oth ers who evaded the issue were marked "unexcused,'1 "I'd rather they would come right out and tell the truth ; they would stand a much better chance of finding an okeh on their excuses," the principal added. A preliminary hearing Is being held this afternoon before Justice of the Peace Hayden in which B. D. Berg, recently from Eugene, is accused of obtaining food with the intent to defraud a restaurant keeper. The private prosecutor in the case Is J. C. Schneider, who op erates on South High street adja cent to the New Salem hotel. Berg pleaded not guilty when arraigned this morning and attorneys arrang ed for the hearing today. He was unable to furnish a bail bond of $100, fixed by the court, and was committed to the county jail. ROPERTY TO BE OLD FOR TAXES Effective November 5, Marion county will foreclose on 1665 pieces of real estate on which tax pay ments are delinquent for 1930 and prior years. This was announced yesterday by L. E. Neet, tax collec tor in the office of Sheriff A. C. Burk. Notice of the pending foreclos ure, it is believed, will result in a considerable number of back pay ments coming in, since it is be lieved that a good many persons are delinquent because they have simp ly neglected to pay. Neet explains that those delin quent may head off foreclosures by paying three installments, with in terest and penalty added, for 1930 and the prior years. An additional charge will be made after publica tion of delinquency notices. Business men as well as farmers are behind in their taxes, and Neet says a number of the former are allowing then,' property to be sold for taxes. An act of the 1933 legislature can celled all penalties and interest that had accrued on 1930 and prior year taxes that had accrued up to July 1, 1933, and provided for payment of these taxes in 10 semi-annual installments. The first of the in stallments became due in July, 1933. The law provides further that whenever three of these install ments become delinquent the tax collector is authorized to issue cer tificates of delinquency. It is un der this provision that action is now being taken. $161,044 YIELDED BY PARI-MUTUEL Returns to the state and the coun ties from parl-mutuel wagering on dog and horse races since the enact ment of the racing bill in March, 1933, to date has totaled $161,044, the secretary of state's office announced here today. Of this sum the counties received $40,216, equally divided among the 36 sub-divisions, while the state fair and the Pacific International Live stock Exposition at Portland receiv ed $60,392 each. The second apportionment made this year allocated $5875 to the coun ties, while $30,337.50 went to the fair and to the Pacific Livestock exposi tion. Counties were apportioned funds recently, prior to the fair sea son, from the racing commission funds. Of the new apportionment each county received $163.20, DAVID BOSS HEADS BOYS GLEE CLUB David Hoss, son of the late Sec retary of State Hal E.

NO FEES ALLOWED DISTRICT ATTORNEYS Oregon statutes prohibit the as sessing and collecting of fees by dis trict attorneys, I. H. Van Winkle ruled today in an opinion asked by C. M. Crandall, Malheur county dis trict attorney. Van Winkle held, however, that a district attorney "may prosecute an action in a justice's court or attend examination by a magistrate, either in person or by someone appointed by him for that purpose.' The attorney general said that the practice of district attorneys 'charg ing fees was dispensed with when statutes were passed providing for salaries. Sponsored by the Salem Heights Woman's club, a reception to the teaching staff will be held at the Salem Heihts school house Friday evening. The program will start at 8 o'clock. GRAY BELLE BREAKFAST SPECIALS Served 7 A. M. to 11 A. M. LOCAL CHINESE GIRL STARS IN MARCUS SHOW Local girl makes good. Billy Wong, pretty young Chineso girl who at tended grammar school In Salem, breezed Into town early this morn ine and established herself in a suite at the New Salem to await the arrival of the Marcus world O' Girls troupe, which will open their show at the Capitol Friday. When Miss Wong was a youngster she lived on High street with her father, Quong Hing, in what was then Salem's Chinatown. The New Salem was built in the old location and little Miss Wong couldn't help but reminisce a bit about the good old days, grammar school days when she attended Garfield, all dressed up in a middy blouse and sailor tie . . playing after school with Elsie and WiUie Hop Lee, well known to Sa lem folk. Another thine she remembered about Salem were the cherries. "Ne ver before or since, have cherries compared to the ones we used to have in Salem," said the former lo cal girl who's come "home" for a few days. Speaking of her motner and la ther she said that both had died since 1919 and are burled in Salem's Cltyview cemetery. "I plan to go out this afternoon and take some flow ers. The street oars have all disap peared. How do you go out there now?" she inquired. And then went on more comments on how Salem has changed. She was surprised at the Elsinore and Capi tol theaters and tne many new shops about town. "But thank heav ens, they haven't changed the court house. I always loved that building," said the charming Miss Wong, as she sat there looking very smart in a blue and white street dress. Miss Wong, along with nine other Chinese girls, will be featured in a spectacular Chinese dance ensemble when the curtain goes up on the show Friday night. She has appear ed in many pictures, her latest being in Greta Garbo's "The Painted Veil." Charles Hugo, manager of the troupe, commented down in the lob by that he has made 22 trips to the Orient and taken 14 theatrical shows over. The World O' Girls show is just back from playing sev en weeks in Shanghai and two months in Tokyo. The show has a cast of 85 and a special orchestra. MINOR DECISIO BY HIGH COURT The firm of Liberman Ss Rosen crantz of Klamath Falls was ob solved of payment of a writ of at tachment against the company as the result of alleged indebtedness of Connelly Brothers, former own ers of the mercantile establishment, the Oregon supreme court held to day. The opinion, written by Justice J. U. Campbell, reversed the directed verdict given by a sheriff's jury in favor of the Pioneer Tobacco com pany, creditors of the Connelly Brothers, in the sum of $165.51. The court held the property was not subject to the lien at the time the present owners took possession, and that a directed verdict should have been rendered the plaintiffs. Other opinions handed down to day were: Guy Pyle and Newport Construc tion company vs. F. J. Kerman ap pellant. Appeal from Lane county. Suit to enforce payment of $3,000. Opinion by Judge Harry Belt. Judge G. F. Sklpworth affirmed. Margaret Dittert vs. W. Fischer, appellant. Appeal from Clackamas comity. Suit to recover money. Opinion by Judge Campbell. Judge Earl C.

A resolution was adopted whereby the city will arrange with the three local banks for the deposit of city money at an interest rate of one fourth of one percent. Salem Woman's club representa tives requested that something be done to erase obscene writing on the lavatory walls in Marlon square. The public buildings committee was au thorized to kalsomine the walls. Heretofore the walls have been kal somined once a year, but Alderman Paul R. Hendricks, chairman of the committee, said it would be well to do it twice a year because of the damage caused by "bums" who loit er in the place. Aldermen Olson, O'Hara and Hen dricks were appointed a special com mittee to Investigate the possibility of additional ground at the rear of the East Salem fire station for drill purposes and hose towers.

He bound McKenney over to the grand jury and increased his bail from $1000 to $2500, which was not furnished. McKenney is held in jail.

ARBITER'S Bill CAUSE OF RIFT Absence of a specific contract be tween the city and Baar & Cun ningham covering the matter of ar bitration of a purchase price for the Salem water works operated last night to block again John W committee meetings last night and pense of assistants to date in the arbitration proceedings. The bill was im' presented at the council meeting because it appeared that aldermen opposed to it had enough strength to defeat it. But it was discussed in committee both before and after the council ses sion, and another meeting will be held today that probably will brim about a contract. A special coun cil meeting may be called to con sider the payment. Cunningham is employing some assistants and wants to pay them. But he can't until the council ap proves the bill. He attended the cmomittee meetings last night and wanted to know whether he better continue with the work or drop everything until money is available. He was advised to go ahead as long as possible. Cunningham had been criticized for not filing certain maps and prints with the city, but he was able to show the committee that these had been filed with the city iecordcr some time ago. Cunningham objected to carrying the burden himself of paying his helpers when he Is already over burdened with uncashed city war rants. Tiie committee appointed A. A. Lee as appraiser of real property involved in the arbitration. Percy A Cupper has been retained as attor ney to present the city's case to the board of arbiters. BDSHNELL'S PANTS EYED BY COUNCIL Although E. C. Bushnell, city building inspector, is authoritatively reported to have ripped his breeches on his old chair, the public build ings committee of the city council will have to decide whether a bill for a new swivel chair Is to be ap proved by the council. The bill for $14.71 was presented last night. Some of the aldermen looked at it cockeyed, and a spir ited argument followed. Prom away back In the gallery Harold Davis of the city engineering office in formed the councilmen that "he rip ped his pants on the old one." But there was also a rip in the council on the subject, one side favoring approval of the bill and the other side In doubt about it. While the building committee Is pondering over the matter Bush nell will make himself as comfort able as possible, and, It Is under stood, he has had the torn pants mended. to Aldermen To Figure On Popcorn Petition Aldermen H H, Vandevoii and . A. Hughes were appointed by Mayor McKay last night as a spe cial committee to figure out wheth er a portable popcorn stand should be allowed to establish itself on Liberty street near Chemeketa. Al derman V. E. Kuhn, as chairman of the street committee, and Chief of Police Prank Minto will assist the two committee members. The com- ittee does not have power to act. L CITY'S BUDGET In adopting the city budget for 1935 last night the city council made two reductions and one in crease in various items, causing in the grand total a reduction . of $593.60. The item for premium payment on municipal airport fire insurance was reduced from $352 to $158.40, which means the build ings that cost some $15,000 are be ing insured for $3,600 instead of $8, 000. The item for audit of city books was cut from $1,000 to $250. The emergency fund item was in creased from 3,500 to $3,850. Final totals in the budget are estimated expenditures if $221,115.60 under the 6 per cent limitation, an actual tax levy for all purposes of $329,422.81, and total expenditures of $351,922.81 The reduction in . airport insur ance was a point of contention at the joint budget meeting of alder men and citizen committeemen several weeks ago when the increase was engineered by Cuyler Van Pat ten. He contended that if the air- port buildings were worth anything to tne city they were worth insur ance protection, Last night was hearing night on the budget, but none of the few tax payers in the gallery raised a voice on any subject. Alderman David O'Hara urged the Increase In the emergency fund, pointing out that most of it went for relief of the unemployed and that indications are there will be an increased number of them the coming winter. The matter of audit of city books caused considerable argument. Al derman Kuhn and others argued that the city never had had a thor ough audit and that it would be a matter of economy to have one and appropriate enough money to pay for it. O'Hara and others held there was considerable "hooey1 about audits and that if provisions were made for handling delinquent street assessments the matter could be taken care of without additional appropriations.
