"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

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.

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.

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.

thorized to kalsomine the walls.
Heretofore the walls have been kal

Can't Wait for Trial
So Forfeits His Bail

driver from Garfield, Wash., elected
to forfeit $23 ball rather than wait

arraigned In Justice court late yes

he was anxious to get home, and
that he would forfeit the bail al
though it would leave him almost
penniless.
The police officer who arrested
Niccolai said he drove his truck at
a rapid rate of speed between Sun

serious statutory charge when Carl

given a hearing before him yester
day. 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.
The girl who testified against the
defendant is under 17 years old.
He said McKenney forced her into
the park at the state house.
McKenney'a home is said to be in
Eugene, but he came here some
time ago.

Responsibility for the financial

animously assumed by the member
ship of Capital Post No. 9 Monday
night. Action was taken alter k, jh..
Bassett had given a detailed his
tory of all steps taken in the trans
action.
Beautificatlon of the grounds In
the vicinity of the Southern Pacific

company is understood to be willing
to permit the landscaping.
Invitation to the state executive
committee to meet in Salem in line

mander also met with approval. It

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

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.
