r BUTTER PRICE UNCHANGED IN 'S Portland, Oct. 16 (IP) There were no changes In butter prices today. There is a keener call for really fresh eggs. AH prices are held lor fresh, others weak. There Is a demand tor live tur keys weighing not less than 10 lbs., around 15c lb. Demand for dressed turkeys remains good for quality but weak for offgradc stuff. Purple cauliflower is beginning to attract attention of the trade because of sheer flavor. Sales up to $1 crate was reported. General cauliflower market is very weak. With talk of inflicting a big tax upon apples by a code which is now being formed, distributors are find ing It difficult to move supplies even at extremely low price. They claim that higher prices with a tax will practically stop the movement. There Is a good demand for rab bits around 8-9c lb. alive. Fresh dates from California are being offered 17c lb. Onion market continues sluggish and supplies chiefly from Yakima. Oranges are climbing so fast in price that the trade cannot keep track of advances. There is now a liberal supply of fresh crabs from the Waldport sec tion. Chicago, Oct. 10 (I) A sharp ad vance in prices occurred shortly be fore the grain market's close today on buying stimulated largely by in dependent strength shown in the corn pit. A government report that, because Of the shortage of feed corn, prices may be expected to remain at a rela tively high level was interpreted bullishly by many traders and corn futures advanced to a new high since lute in September. Corn closed 1 to 2 cents high er than yesterday's finish, May at 80-Mi and wheat showed gams ranging from Vk to 1 cents. May closing at $1.01-H. Oats gained about a cent and provisions were slightly higher. Chicago, Oct. 10 WV-With corn showing most strength, grain prices averaged hwner today, lnnucnceci bv resting purchase orders that vlr tually Ignored extreme weakness In foreign markets. Opening lower to k higher. May DOT. -1.00, wheat scored frac tional en ins. Corn siaried - higher. May 78-19';, and then held close to the initial range.

It was oiir nounced. At balloting in Halsey Friday and at Albany Saturday a total of 43 votes were cast against both of the two proiwscd plans. Favorable votes average approxim ately half the negative In number. Proposals were presented on the ballots as follows: "Do you favor an adjustment program dealing with corn and hogs In 1B35?" and "Do you favor a one-contract-per- farm adjustment program dealing with grain and livestock to become effective In 1930?" The corn-hog plan was defeated 43 to 25; the grain-livestock propos' al lost 43 to 21. Continuation of General Martin Ptorn Page One and the principles they stood for?" ho asked. "I'm the candidate of President Roosevelt for Governor," Martin de clared In telling of the present nd mlnLstrntion and its humanitarian acts. He praised Senator McNary as 'not blinded by partisanship" and a supiwrler of the president. "Oregon Is on the threshold of a real growth and n real prosperity." he said nnd pointed to Bonneville, new Industries, low rates "for every body" fishing power and declared he was familiar with the govern in on I 's power development plans. "We'll not stand still. This admin istration will do something," Martin pledged. "How about these politicians that grow up with Bonneville? What were they doing when Senator Mc Nary and I were working in Wash ington; when we got Bonneville; the two of us?" Martin challenged. He told of his familiarity with Washington, the senate and house of representatives and his friend chip with President Boosevelt and declared he believed that he could do more for Oregon than anyone cl.se as governor nt this time.

(LPV-An am ateur ornithologist here claims to have seen a quail commit suicide. Harry T. Bowman, a trolley-car conductor, went groundhog hunt ing on his day off and came back with a dead quail and a strange story. "I was coming over a small knoll when I saw the bird," Bowman told his friends. "It would fly to the top or a cliff, then fly straight down, hitting its hend on a rock. "The bird repeated the proced ure several limes, and on the fourth trial, died of a broken neck." Except for a small blister on the back of the bird's neck, the qunll was piump and Apparently well. Row num maintains that the suf fering caused bv the blister led the bird to kill Itself.

THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. in viyi lL'9 LARGERSIZES Portland, Oct. 16 (JPh-Better call for prunes, particularly large sizes, Is shown In a Journal survey. The crop Is somewhat smaller than pre vious estimates, due largely to the decrease In the date and petite prunes through the Umpqua valley. R. C. Gile of H. S. Gile & Co., said the French and Date prunes of Douglas county were unusually hard hit by scab this season. Prune growers are less keen about disposing of fruit at current values. Around Roseburg packers are exper iencing difficulty In securing small sized Italians to make up assort ments in shipment. Some small fruit from Willamette valley points is making up this deficiency. Ernest Brewer, member of the New York produce exchange. Is in Portland and is Joining with local interests to further sale of Oregon prunes. "The New York market is very partial to large Oregon primes and will take any sizes in quantity grad- ! ing over 40-50s." he said. "The mar- I ket will pay a premium, if necessary, when the large prunes are scarce, but will not buy the smaller sizes at a discount. The consumption of Oregon prunes in New York is restricted practically to the foreign born po pulation. Native Americans, as a rule have been taught to consume Californian." From California conies word the larger sized prunes are finding most favor there. Practically no changes are snown in either Oregon or Can fornia prices. T Oregon's walnut crop on October i is estimated at 3,040 tons, a re duction of 160 tons from the esti mate a month ago, Blight and in sect injury together with consider able heat damage to the crop dur ing September contributed to the decline in prospects. The 1933 crop was only 1,000 tons and the five- year (1927-1931) average crop is 1, 250 tons, according to a government estimate. No change in the estimated pro duction ol filberts In Oregon oc curred during September. The crop is placed at 93ti tons on October 1 compared with the 1933 production of 1,000 tons and the five-year (1927-1931) average production of 227 tons. Prunes: For Fresh Use. October 1 estimate of fresh piune produc tion in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho is placed nt 66.0G0 tons com pared with 69,095 tons, the forecast a month earlier. Prune crop pros pects did not come up to earlier ex pectations in Washington and Ida ho; in Oregon, however, the crop was somewhat bolter than estimat ed on September 1. For Drying. Oregon crop on Oc tober 1, is estimated at 28,000 tons. dry basis, or about 3,000 tons be low the estimate a month ago, but well above the 1933 production of 15,000 tons, nn (14.300 tons better than the five-year (1927-1031) average production of 24,700 tons. The Washington group of 3.G30 tons estimated on October 1 is slightly above the September 1 forecast placed at 3,520 tons, and well above the 1933 production of 1,750 tons. The five-year (1927 1931) average production of prunes for drying in Washington is 3.881 tons. California's crop of 170,000 tons remains the same on October 1 as a month earlier and compares with the 1933 production of 102,000 tons and the five-year (1927-1931) average prodduction of 207,200 tons. FOREIGN SILVER PRICES ADVANCE! New York. Oct. 16 fP) Foreign sil ver for domestic industrial use was advanced to another new high since 1929 today at 55 5-8 cents an ounce, up 3-8 cent from yesterday. Today's boost was made despite the fact the metal held unchanged in the London market at 247d pence an ounce. Since last week when the first of a series of advances occur red in the metal, the markup in New York was always accompanied by higher prices in London. Continuation of Kidnaped Wife From Page One he has personally answered all tele phone calls to the home since the day of the abduction, in the hope a contact could be mnde with the kidnaper. Louisville, Oct. 16 P) The Louis ville Times said today U has re liable information that Mrs. Alice Speed Stoll, kidnap victim, was alive Monday and may be freed within 24 hours. The article adds: "The above Information gather ed by the Times Is confirmed, in part, by the cheerfulness of Mrs. Stoll's relatives since Sunday, by the passing of two days without any appeals to the kidnaper over the radio and by the Associated Press report that the $50,000 ransom had been sent to Nashville." The Information published by the Times was taken to indicate that Mrs. Stoll or her kidnaper had found some way to communicate with the family. ' There had been indications since last night that the Stoll family ex pected something to happen within a short time, that the way again hnd been cleared on the possibility that the kidnaper or some agent might bring the woman back. Squads of police searching the neighborhood of the Stoll estate had moved southward today, and police were keeping clear of the Lime Kiln lane on which the home fronts. RAf.EM. OREOON Free Movies On Housing1 At 8 Tonight For the benefit of everyone who is interested from any angle in the better housing campaign now under way here under the federal housing ad ministration a public motion picture show will be given at 8 o'clock tonight at the Cham ber of Commerce auditorium.

Builders, clerks, merchants, bankers, laborers, teachers, publishers' anyone who Is Interested or merely curious Is urged to attend. The show will be a general review of the entire better housing movement. Washington, Oct. 16 (LP) Secre tary of Interior Harold L. Ickes to day answered caustically the cam paign charges of Theodore Koose- velt that he had "sold out.' "Mr. Roosevelt himself is an ex pert at selling out," Ickes, who was listed a republican when he went into the Franklin Roosevelt cabinet, charged. "Roosevelt said, generally, that I'd sold out," Ickes said. "Usually, I would moke no answer, but when the assertion comes from an ex pert, I must." Ickes recalled the 1920 republican convention in Chicago, "When the nomination of Harding was threat ened. I was a delegate at large for Illinois. I begged him (Theo dore Roosevelt) to issue a state ment. I wanted him to denounce Harding. He declined, and I is sued the announcement myself. "Harding was nominated and Roosevelt went all over the country campaigning for Harding. Of course, there was no connection between the two, but Roosevelt became as sistant secretary of the navy." 'Ickes recalled former President Harding's views toward reparations to Colombia for the Panama canal. Harding, he observed, insisted that Colombia should have $25,000,000 more, although former President Theodore Roosevelt, father of The odore Roosevelt, had said the price originally agreed upon was suffi cient. "He. (Roosevelt, Jr.) was perfect ly willing to accept ornce irom a president who was casting an in delible slur on his father," Ickes concluded. "And I'm not saying anything of the Teapot Dome situation, either." Continuation of- Hauptmann Case -iTom Page One hearing on Hauptmann's plea tc escape extradition to New Jersey on charges of murdering the Lind bergh baby. "It was an unusual construction of the letter "X" which was written with a double "E" in many places." Osborne said the peculiar "X" and an unusually constructed "D" made him most positive in his declaration that Hauptmann's writ ing was similar to the writing on the notes demanding $50,000 ran som from Colonel Charles A. Lind bergh. The identification of the ransom notes as Hauptmann's writing was the most important point today in the demand of Attorney-General David T. Wilcntz of New Jersey for extradition because one of the notes says the writer entered the Lind bergh nursery and stole the child. "This is a confession and admis sion," Wilentz charged. Osborne was on the witness stand throughout the morning session. It was not until the closing mintites that he disclosed a fascinating story of detective work in search of a symbol such as he had never before come across. The aged, portly expert, who wore an apparatus to aid his hearing, obviously was excited about the dis covery and the tracing of this strange "X." James M. Fawcett, counsel for Hauptmonn. strove to break down the credibility of Osborne's asser tions; asking if that peculiar letter was not sometimes used in German script. "I have read hundreds of letters written by Germans," the witness replied indignantly, "but I have ever before seen this strange sym bol." The argument leading up to Os borne's disclosure was chiefly con cerned with identification of pe culiarities of Hauptmann's writing and their relation to the ransom notes. Osborne examined a double fist full of auto registration cards, ran som notes, a promissory note and other writings, all marked as ex hibits in the case. He fumbled around with the papers on Justice Ernest E. L. Hammer's bench and frequently failed to refer to them by their exhibit number. At last, the Justice interrupted his story of the symbol "X" to In sist that he pick out the exhibits of which he was speaking. After much more pawing around and considerable show of impatience on the Judce's part, the five ex hibits needed were selected. Justice Hammer moved the others out of reach. At lunch recess, not until the prisoner, under heavy guard, was removed, were spectators permitted to leave. 10-rorND RADISH GROWN Pflinesville, O. tp A 10-pound vhite radish was grown by Joseph Orszag in his garden. COUNTY PLANS Mumio pi jimc Canning clams will be a feature of the work of the portable can nery operated by the county for relief workers, County Commission cr Roy Melson stating today that Thursday of this week has been given over for that purpose. The clams are to be secured under an arrangement with the self-help co operative colony established at Bay Ocean. The clams will be secured on an exchange proposition with the county, the county to give one can of tomatoes or beans for every can of clams. The clams will come here in the shell and workers will shell and clean the clams. The clams will be put up in No. 2 ',4 cans, each containing about a pound and nau of clam meat, enough to furnish broth for nearly a dozen people. The co-operative colony at Bay Ocean comes under the relief work program and the exchange has received the sanction of the state committee. The cannery is still canning to matoes and pears and is also sand wiching in packs of stew meat from government beef received some time ago and held in storage for use as the cannery can handle it. A statement has been prepared showing some of the vast quantity of products which have been dis tributed here In a little over a year through the county relief office here. Included in these products given away are the following: Smoked pork, 154,936 lbs.; flour, 85.100 lbs.; fresh beef, 34,728 lbs.; roast beef, 24,720 lbs.; butter, 21,120 lbs.; fresh veal, 5,600 lbs.; eggs, 2,840 dozen; lard, 3.100 lbs.; cereal 4,890 lbs.; cheese, 1,720 lbs.; blan kets cotton, 1,200 singles; cod liver oil, 288 12-ou nee bottles. In addi tion to the flour listed above sev eral carloads were also purchased, i the exact number not being checked 1 out. On top of the foregoing are 377, 000 tin cans for use of the portable cannery, which at the present going price of $36 a thousand represent a cost or about $14,000 and the con tents of the cans based on a con servative estimate of 10 cents a can would run around $38,000 more. nutWestiate dr0ps7per cent The California Walnut Growers Association reports a decline in crop estimate of 7 per cent from the previous month, due to a heat wave, says the California Fruit News. Harvest is early a nd pro gressing rapidly. Since establish ment of prices, demand has indi cated a quick cleanup. Sales have resulted in sellout of some packs. Concerning the opening prices on walnuts and almonds in California the New York Journal of Com merce, is an issue of the middle of Inst week, said: "Nuts in the shell have been very active this week. New crop prices on almonds and walnuts from Cali fornia and the Northwest were well received here and the trade lost lit tle time in covering requirements. The prices on walnuts and almonds are pretty much in keeping with trade expectations. The shelled nut market is show ing a moderate seasonal expansion. Large distributors are moving more goods and prices are better." Continuation of Manila Typhoon -From Page One was swept ashore nearby after ram ming an adjoining pier. In addition to four ships driven ashore in Manila bay, the lnter- island steamer Mactan and smaller craft were piled up on the shore of the flooded Pasig river. The weather bureau said failure of telegraphic advices was respon sible for the lack of warning. He said estimates of damage In Manila alone varied from $250,000 to $2,500,000. No reliable source attempted to guess the extent of damage north of the city where the gale reach ed its height as it roared across Luzon Island, ripping thatched huts of the natives to bits, flooding roads and blowing down power and com munication lines. Eleven and a half inches of rain poured down on the city in the 24 hours ended at 4 p. m. today, the weather bureau reported, with show ers still falling at night tune. Manna was a scene of desolation as convicts, police and city work men joined to clear debris strewn streets. Streets and parks were flooded. Thousands of trees wore torn up by the roots by the 57 mile an hour wind. Four ships were washed ashore. Telephone and telegraph poles were blown down. Business and transportation were at a stand still. Unlike the lesser typhoons which preceded It In recent weeks, the tro pical storm struck without warning. Filipino, European and American residents awoke In the midst of ft howling storm and struggled for five hours to keep roofs over their heads. Ships had no time to leave their I anchorages behind the breakwater i and seek safety in broad Manila bay. ! The round the world Dollar liner i lashed to her pier but escaped dam- j age.

The center of the typhoon's northwest ward path was only 60 miles from this Philippine metropolis. With all communication lines blown down and flooded roads im passable, a prompt check on the ex tent of the storm's devastation was impossible. A correspondent of the Manila Tribune estimated 10,000 natives were left homeless in Bulucan pro vlnce, north of Manila. He reported 2000 small, thatched houses were blown down, and many persons were injured. He had no reports of fa talities. After a survey of damage here, Governor General Frank Mur phy announced Secretary of Finance Antonio De Las Alas would release $500,000 for relief in the city and other affected districts. He declared the day a bnnk holi day and ordered police to take pris oners from Bllidld, the insular pen itentiary, to aid city workmen in clearing wreckage from the streets. The devastation brought normal pursuits of most business men in this city of 325,000 to a complete standstill. Thousands did not even attempt to go to work. Without pow er, newspapers did not publish. New York, Oct. 16 (LP) Stocks. bonds and grains advanced today while the dollar declined.

Commercial TUESDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1934 WHEAT PRICES LIKELY TO RISE FOR SOMETIME Washington, Oct. 10 .(LP) The de partment of agriculture expects wheat prices to go up for some time. According to an analysis publish ed today in the bureau of agricul tural economics monthly "Price Sit uation," prospects as of Oct. 13 "sug gests some further recovery from the low point" recorded during September, "And there is more likelihood," the bureau observed "that this recovery will be followed by a still further advance rather than by a decline. Fall of wheat prices last month was attributed to the pressure of French and Argentine offerings. France has been employing every resource to relieve Its surplus at cut rates, the bureau reported. "The relative weakness of futures as compared with cash prices," the review said, "Is Indicative of the fact that the decline was of a spec ulative nature rather than due to any weakness in the domestic cash market situation." Although the domestic price now is "fairly close" to an import basis for non-premium wheat, "there is no prospect for large importations unless very large amounts should be fed In the United States." the bureau said. "At the present time," the review continued, "there appeared to be two distinct possibilities of a marked advance in world wheat prices the possibility of damage to the Argen tine crop, now entering the critical period, and the possibility of heavy feeding of wheat n the United Statei and Europe." The 1034 production of hoDS In the Pacific Coast States the prin cipal producing area is estimated ;t 39,745,000 pounds. This is an in crease over the September forecast of 2,735.000 pounds.
