Hay company which has handled
the big government contract for hay
out of the northwest Into the Da
kotas was here Saturday afternoon
' conferring with Claud McKenney
and others Interested in putting back
duty on Canadian hay until the
northwest surplus was cleaned up.
Gunn suggests that every grower
wire the president and United States
senators from here in a suggested
telegram as follows:
"Importation of Canadian hay has
ciemoraliMd our market in the
northwest. Growers feel they are be
Iisr discriminated asainst. Suggest
our growers hnvo first preference,
After our supplies are exhausted it
KhouJd be time cnoutjh for Canadian
Iny. Oregon, W.ishinton nnd Idaho
have a surplus of 200,000 tons."
It was further stated that the Ca
nadian hoy going In Is simply
roughage to keep the cattle alive
while the northwest hay is good feed
hay. The Canadian price laid down
In the Dnkotas is so low as to mr.ke
competition from the northwest
states almost impossible.

legal proceeding Instead of rcqulr-
lng as at present a separate suit for
each tract.
'fi An act to permit county
courts to zone grnztng Innd.
"6 An net authorizing county
courts to cancel overdue taxes, in
terest and penalities on privately
owned lnnd deeded to the state of
Oregon or the federal government."
Explaining that such legislation
would be of material benefit to the
agricultural and livestock Industries,
Oovernor Martin said:
"There are In eastern Oregon 12,
000,000 acres of unreserved and un
appropriated public domain owned
by the federal government, which
land up to the present has been sub
ject to no control and which has
produced no revenue to either coun
ty, state or nation. This land will,
however, be brought under control
by the Taylor act passed by the last
session of congress.
"In the meanwhile, the state of
Oregon owns 800,000 acres of vacant,
unleased and unsold lnnd inter
spersed with the public domain. The
counties in this area also own 700,
000 acres of vacant, unleased and
unsold land, likewise Interspersed
with the public domain. The afore
said stnte and county lands are now
producing no revenue and are only
an expense.
"The director of the national
grazing service, Mr. F. R. Carpener,
has recently been in conference with
the eastern Oregon cattle and sheep
men and has suggested changes tn
and additions to our state legisla
tion which will make it possible to
Integrate his service with the bene
ficiary counties and areas of this
state." '

From page One
narrow hotel hall with a hall of
death that zipped all around but ne
ver touched the three detectives
Eddie Mulhem, Arch Wltham and
George Brennan who sought to
trap h!m but were trapped them
selves. The marksman played his role,
shot a key from a woman's hand
without touching her fingers.
Policeman Jimmy Campbell top
ped o!f the drama by dropping his
empty pistol and shouting to his ma-"
chine gun duelist:
"Drop that gun and come out In
the street and flfrht like a man."
A deadly "rat-a-tat-tat" was the
answer to th.H challenge.
The answer v.as the same from
the time the detectives entered the
Dan-More h-tel to surprise whnt
thought to be "on ordinary tough
guy."
"It wss like tar. It was a mad
house" one of them said afterward.
"I don't see why someone Isn't
dead."
When the raiders reached the
fourth floor of the hotel, they met
a man walking down the hall In his
underwear.
"Looking for someone," he ask
ed politely.
"Yes, who's the fellow In that
room there."
"Oh, he's a pal o' mine. Walt
minute, and I'll tell him you want
mm."
And Harry Campbell for It was
he went In the room, locked the
door, and snapped off the lights.
The hotel owner's wife, Mrs. Wil
liam Morley, was summoned with a
pass key. A bullet spat through the
opening as the door swung back,
and the key In her hand flew to
pieces.
"Stick "em up," he yelled. "We're
officers."
"Stick 'em up yourself," came a
voice Inside. The door swung wide.
and a machine gun started to chat
ter.
The detectives, outlined clearly In
tne light, could see only the gun
flashes In the darkened room. They
scurried for safety, but bullets bit
Into the walls around them.
Down the hall and down the
stairs, again Into the. cover of
darkness, backed the gangsters, al
ways keeping a curtain of gunfire
between. On the stairs the trail end
ed, but only for a moment.
"Rat-a-tat-tat," "rat-a-tat-tat"
came the deadly rattle. Karpis was
sweeping the street with a leaden
hall so Campbell could steal a car
from the garage that first led them
Into the trap.
Across the way. In a hotel en
trance. Policeman Campbell ans
wered with the six shots in his ser
vice pistol. There were no more
bullets. Police regulations don't
permit It
"Drop that gun and come out in
the street and fight like a man,"
Campbelt yelled.
"Rat-a-tat-tat," was the answer,
and the stolen car swung Into a
narrow street, spraying bullets in
a steady stream behind it. Close
after It rumbled the police patrol,
called out by hotel guests. '
Firing as they went, the fugitives
sped In one street and out another,
twlee doubling back from dead ends
at the boardwalk.
In tortous "snake alley" which
winds and bends like a curling reptile-
past the rear of the Dan-More
hotel, the smaller machine made
the turns at higher speed than the
clumsy "Black Maria," and the pa
trol wag lost
Before fleeing from the hotel dis
trict, Karpis amused himself by
biasing away at every policeman
he saw, and they dotted the neigh
borhood seekne? 1 T'"K fes jj

Washington, Jan. 31 UP) Harry
Campbell, who with Alvin Karpis
blasted his way through a police
trap In Atlantic City, wag reported
here today to nave been seriously
wounded in the encounter.
A check on hospitals and doctors
known to treat racketeers was or
dered as the hunt for the men was

situation, including setups under the
agreement, also production costs
and gave numerous other data in a
graphic outline.
Needham himself was one of the
early speakers outlining production
costs. In response to questions from
tne chairman he stated these costs
were based on his actual personal
experience as a grower from 1920
and taken from the costs in his two
yards about five miles from Salem.
It was brought out In the question
ing that transportation and trucking
costs were not included in the Items.
Giving a complete detailed state
ment as to the costs Needham's fig
ures showed a total cost of $481.45
per acre. A state college representa
tive was called on to show what fig
ures the college had arrived at in
getting at production costs. He stat
ed the college had been carrying on
production cost survey and was
now In the middle of it but as yet
no figures were available. He said
that this survey was purety educa
tional in Its nature and would cover
costs of production as well as data
aimed to improve production meth
ods and low costs, and he expected
also the survey would show average
costs by various types of growers,
such as large growers and small
growers and under varying condi
tions. Needham told the board that his
production showed but two bales to
an acre the first year. He also told
the board. In response to inquiry.
that he could provide acreages and
figures, Including those as to con
tracts for Oregon growers.
An effort was made to Inject the
matter of overproduction into the
hearing following Needham's talk
but the chairman said that would
come up In regular order as the sec
tion In the code pertaining to it was
reached.
Robin D. Day Interposed a state
ment that he wanted the Oregon
growers to know that the proposed
amendments offered by them to the
code had been submitted.

on January 16 and 17 would be In

conference for reference, inaicatim;
that all three of the hearings In
California, Oregon and Washington
are one In their nature.
On selection of the chairman the
first topic to come before the meet
ing for discussion was the matter of
grades and identifications and there
were signs this would take up a good
share of the balance of the hearing
for today, at any rate. A member of
the board made an opening talk
this morning as to these grades and
identifications, especially as to how
they have been handled in the past
He stated that grading had been
done purely on a physical basis, that
the aroma was tested by the nose.
texture by feeling and various other
attributes by sight and he said
grading had been largely a matter
of see, feel or smell. He declared
that all smellers didn't work alike,
all feelers didn't feel alike and all
eyes didn't see alike. He also stated
that he was Informed some dealers
had bought hops as prime hops and
sold them as choice or vice versa all

Commission houses and foreign

partial rallies ensued on account

had been sellers.

Wheat and corn suffered losses of
about a cent a bushel. Cables said
weakness of the Liverpool wheat
market came from the fact there
was a pause in demand, with Euro
pean traders awaiting developments.
In some quarters, a reason given
for bearish sentiment here was the
adage: "Never try to pull the tail
end of a short crop." The Chicago
wheat market has closed higher 4
successive days, and reactions ap
peared in order.
Corn and oats markets Ignored a
sharp upturn of hog values, but pro
visions were more or less respon

by an unexpected downturn of

on the part of the defense to Impli
cate the dead German furrier, isa
dor Flsch, In the kidnaping and
murder or collection of the ransom.
A New York attorney, Albert D.
Kurtz, the prosecutors said, has a
diary showing that he and Flsch
were together the day of the kid
naping. Hauptmann claimed on his arrest
that $14,600 ransom money found in
his garage had been given to him by
Flsch for safe keeping.
A defense announcement on the
same point was to the effect it had
information Flsch used the name of
"John" when he went back to Ger
many to die of tuberculosis. A
woman giving this information, Mrs.
Curt schwarz, a Bronx housewife,
has not promised to testify, how
ever.
Mrs. Schwarz was quoted by a de
fense investigator as saying Flsch
also wrote her and her husband
signing his name as "John."
The man to whom the ransom
money was turned over in St. Ray
mond's cemetery, the Bronx, by Dr.
John F. (Jafsle) Condon called him
self "John." Dr. Condon has sworn
this was Hauptmann.
A puzzling development was a re.
port to police by a youth named Ro.
bert Grant 18. at Hastings-on-Hud.
son. N. Y, that he had been kid
naped by two men who threatened
to hold him as a hostage to prevent
testimony for the defense by a man
named Manly. Grant told the police
he had furnished Manly'g name to
the defense.
The figure on Hauptmann assets
given to the Jury by the government
accountant, William E. Frank, trea
sury agent, Included the $14,600
found In his garage and $120 in
gold coins found in his home In the
Bronx.
Justice Thomas W. Trenchard
surprised the attorneys by ordering
the court reporter to repeat the am
ount of the assets, $44,486, noting it,
and remarking:
"This may be of great Importance
to me."
Frank's testimony that three bro
kerage accounts of the Hauptmann's
jumped to stock purchase of $256,
443.15 In 1933, caused the defense to
bring out on cross examination a
lesson In margin dealings
Frank testified Hauptmann began
to deal on margin in 1930, and the
defense elicited from his acknowl
edgement that the books of a stock
margin account would not show the
money actually put In, that is, that
It would not show the amount of the
purchaser's equity In the account.
Attorney General David T. Wil-
entz brought out from Frank's testi
mony that the $44,486 was exclusive
of any cash loans made by Haupt
mann.
Hauptmann said after his arrest
that he had loaned the dead Isador
Flsch $7500. He also said Flsch had
given him the ransom money for
safe keeping, and that because of the
unpaid loan he had begun to spend
It without knowing what It was.
It was Hauptmann's expenditure
of a $10 gold note, a ransom bill, for
gasoline, that led to his arrest in the
Bronx, and to his subsequent in
dictment as the kidnaper and mur
derer of the Lindbergh baby.
Detense counsel moved for mis
trial In the case of Bruno Richard
Hauptmann. being tried for murder
In the Lindbergh kidnaping.
Justice Trenchard denied the mo
tion, treating It very casually.
The motion came after Attorney
General David T. Wllents had re
ferred to a purchase of aviation
stock by Hauptmann.

Continuation of
Water Loan Lost
From page One
from Washington. One of the dis
patches stated that the reason for
the cancellation was "because- con
struction had not been started."
The city Immediately set about
preparing to make a new applica
tion. Mayor V. E. Kuhn and City
Attorney Chris J. Kowltz were ol
the opinion that with the new pub
lic works administration set-up at
Washington, and with the city,
through its new council, making a
convincing move toward acquisition
of the water plant of the Oregon
Washington Water Service com
pany, a new application would be
productive of favorable results.
Listing a series of proposed SERA
projects, In accordance with ad
vice from O. O. Hockley, Oregon
engineer for the PWA and the
SERA, Mayor Kuhn and other city
officials today Included the water
project, placing the figure again at
$3500,000. The mayor said that
while It was not expected this loan
would come through the SERA, nev
ertheless he had been advised by
the state office to Include It.
The mayor was of the opinion
that li a new application for the
water works loan Is made federal
money can be gotten at a more fa
vorable rate of Interest than has
been possible under the PWA here
tofore. He said he has been unoffi
cially advised to that effect.
Commenting on today's news from
Washington, the mayor said relative
to the rescinded allotment:
"I don't believe the loss of this
loan is detrimental to the city In
any respect, Inasmuch as the limi
tation placed on the powers of the
city in acceptance of the loan would
have been so varied and complicated
that it would have cost the city
more In the long run than to go
ahead purely on a bond sale basis."
contract differentials, the mayor
believed, would have off -set the
grant portion of the loan, amount
ing to 30 per cent of the allotment.
City Attorney Kowltz said he didn't
feel badly about Secretary Ickes' ac
tion, since there is to be a new loan
set-up at Washington. A new appli
cation very similar to the old one
probably will be prepared, he said.
Meantime the city and the water
company are going ahead with pre-
lurilnaries to the condemnation suit

water company, and Walter C.
Winslow, special attorney for the
