DAVID LAMSON
L
San Jose, Calif., Dec. 7 (fP) David
Lamson. former Stanford Univer
sity press executive, today was or
dered re-tried for murder in the
bath-tub death of his young wife,
Allene Thorpe Lamson. The first
Lam son conviction and death sen
tence was reversed by the state
supreme court.
Superior Judge R. R. Syer, in
denying the defense motion for
dismissal of the murder charges,
also refused to admit Lamson to
bail.
He declared jurisdiction for the
re-trial remained in the first super
ior court despite the high court'6
reversal of the first conviction.
"No law was established by the
insufficiency of evidence in the case
cited by the decision of the su
preme court," Judge Syer said, in
his opinion.
Therefore jurisdiction of dismis
sal lies in the hands of the super
ior court." He further cited that
Justice Sewcll's opinion in the re
sersal gave the presence of a spec
ial deputy sheriff on the jury as one
of the reasons for dismissal.
WALLACE FLAYS
RAILWAY POLICY
Washington, Dec. 7 OP) If the

now have. Secretary of Agriculture
Henry A. Wallace testified before
the interstate commerce commission
today.
He said present rates have caused
farmers to turn to trucking and
urged, If any changes are to be
made, that rates be lowered.

Good Evening!
Sips for Supper
By DON UPJOHN
The police have done a swell job
of cleaning up the double parking
nuisance on Liberty street between
State and Court streets. It's what
we'd call a fine improvement. Now
we can drive downtown plumb into
the crowded marts of men and be
able to find a place to doub?e park
in that block any of these pre
holiday afternoons. It makes it
much handier and surer for us to
find a place to double park. "Vive
la poleecel"
We wish to apologize to Emil
Kistner. our false toothed friend
from Woodburn who called on us
the other day, and whose name we
spelled "Kirschner" in our lubberly,
blundering fashion. Our omy alibi
is that when we asked Emil to spell
out his last name for it, he did, but
he isn't quite used to spelling with
his new clackers and he sort of
hissed the letters at us as though
we were a villun on the stage. Any
way, Emll, we didn't mean a darned
thing by it. Hope you enjr.y your
soup 'sevenlng.
THE PERPLEXED PREXV
Dr. Bruce Baxter, new president
of Willamette, may know his way
around a little dump like Los An
geles but he gets all tangied up
since he started living in the met
ropolitan area. The other day he
was invited to address the Salem
Ad club at the Jennie Lind. He
started out to find Jennie I.md. He
wandered Into the Grey-Belle but
there was no ad club there. He
then tried the Marion hotel, think
ing maybe a mistake was made.
Sure enough, he found a group of
men eating, sat down, and started
on his meal.
"Where's Frosty Olson," he asked
the party next to him.
"Why, Frosty Is over at the Ad
club," said the party. "This is tlie
Salem Credit Men's association."
So Dr. Baxter started his search
again, finally locating the Jennie
Lind by aid of passersby and police.
Col. Baldwin, whose sudden death
shocked the community, will be
missed around Salem and the Cap
ital Journal office. His big voice
often announced elections, during
the pre-holiday season he made
hundreds of kids happy as he pa
raded the streets as old Kris Krin
gle. The colonel had a host of
friends.
Just to remind elevator girls and
others hereabouts that mistletoe
hanging time Is at hand, we wish
to announce we're going to double
our elevator riding, et cetera en
gagements starting next Monday on
to December 25, or longar, as the
mistletoe lasts. Jack Hughes, we're
told, has ordered a large group of
mistletoe boughs to hang over his
office counter in expectation of a
heavy holiday trade.

PREFERENTIAL
TARIFF LOST

Rate Differential From
Inland Empire Left To
Railroads
C. C. Bases Reversal
On Court Decision For
bidding Discrimination
Washington, Dec. 7 (P) The in
terstate commerce commission in
deciding the western grain rate case
reversed itself on port equalization
from the Columbia river basin to
Portland and Vancouver and Puget
Sound seaports by permitting car
riers to decide whether or not to
maintain the previously prescribed
differential.
The reversal was due to the su
preme court's decision in the Gal
veston case where it was held that
the commission had no right to fix
differentials on export products
which might act as favoring one
seaport in the same general terri
tory against another.
After discussing its original deci
sion on the grain case and the re
arguments and contentions after it
was re-opened the commission said :
"Under the principle announced
in the Galveston case, Supra, the
relation of rates to Portland and
Seattle on shipments for export
and coastwise water movement be
yond is apparently not within our
regulation. Nor does the record af
ford an adequate basis for differ
entiating In respect of the differ
ential between shipments to these
ports locally and for water ship
ment beyond. The question of port
equalization must therefore be left
within . the discretion of the car
riers. Our former finding is there
fore modified accordingly.

Hope for Ulm
Fades As Sea
Roughens Up
Honolulu, Dec. 7 (fP)A roaring
wind blew out all but the faintest
hope that three Australian aviators
who were forced down on a California-Honolulu
flight still lived today.
Rain, rough weather and low
visibility conspired with the wind to
leave the lone possibility a Japan
ese fishing boat had picked up
Lieut Charles T. P. Ulm and his
two companions virtually the only,
possibility that they were alive. j
With rolling swells racking their,
slippery perch on their land plane i
and washing to whitecaps over them,!
it was considered next to impossible I
for Lieut. Ulm, co-pilot George Lit
tlejohn and Navigator L. J. Skilling
to hold out even if they had sur
vived until today.
FALL IN BOLIVIA
Asuncion, Paraguay, Dec. 7 (IP)
Paraguayan shells fell on Bolivian
soil today for the first time during
the long Gran Chaco war.
The Paraguayans, driving north
ward toward the rich Chaco and
Bolivian oil fields, concentrated
their attack on Fort D'Orbigny, the
last real obstacle on the road to the
Bolivian base at Villa Montes.
The fort has been under artillery
bombardment for 24 hours. The
bombardment, after demolishing
fortifications on the west side of the
Pllcomayo river, was centered on
the fort.

DO YEAR AND DAY
Madison, Wis., Dec. 7 (LP) Judge
Patrick T. Stone sent Mrs. Helen
Gillis, young widow of George (Baby
Face) Nelson to prison for a year
and a day today to show her that
"there is only one end to the sort
of life you have led."
Without a wince she heard him
review the fate of John Dillinger,
Tommy Carroll, Homer Van Meter
and her own husband whom she saw
shot down, and their women who
have been sent to prison.
"I presume you have more respect
now for the department of Justice
in view of what has happened than
when you were here five months
ago, he said.
"I do," said the diminutive gang
ster's widow who chose to leave her
children with relatives and return
to her husband after Judge Stone
placed her on probation last May,
At that time he suspended a sent
ence for harboring members of the
Dillinger gang.

Holman Calls Meier
Moron In Discussion
Of Building Proposal
Because Governor Meier thinks State Treasurer Hol-
man's plan to turn the Mulkey building in Portland into a
state office building is "asinine and ridiculous" is all the
more reason he is going ahead with it, Holman said today.
The governor's remarks were "the expression of a moron
living on the diminishing returns of
his inheritance, the state treasur
er retorted,
Meier's assertion "would be dis
couraging if I didn't realize that,"
Holman said.
The Mulkey building, cause of the
latest Meier-Holman flare-up, was
willed to the state at the death of
F. M. Mulkey in 1927. There is one
other heir, Marshall R. Armstrong.
Holman said his plan is at least
worthy of study If the state could
have $40,000 a year It now pays ,o
rent office space in Portland. The
state treasurer declared he already
had architects studying the building
with a view to remodeling, renovat
