THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM. OREGON WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 21, 1935 10 KNIGHTS HEAR PLEA BY SMITH FOR TOLERANCE New York, Aug. 21 (P) Delegates lo the 53rd annual supreme con vention of the Knight of Columbus went Into the final sessions of their meeting at the Waldorf-Astoria to day after hearing Former Governor Alfred E. Smith denounce the reli gious policies of Mexico, Germany and the Soviet Union. The principal speaker at a "vic tory dinner" last night, the one-time candidate for president said of Mexico: "Almighty God Is all-wise, all just and all-merciful and I don't sec why he does not strike dead the men there who are filling the minds of the children with their propaganda and poisoning their faith." "In Germany," he said, "well, a Jew isn't a man, although his peo ple sent the redeemer into the world. A Catholic Is not a man, either, al though in his veins flows the blood of the King of Kings. A man there is one who has the blood of bar barians in him. "In Russia a man exists only to amass wealth for the state. His identity is lost as completely as a drop of water in a glass of wine. "In Russia there is no great dif ference between an animal and a man." Earlier In his address he called upon his hearers to defend the country against communism and socialism. F or n mt Contributions to this col umn matt be confined to 300 words and signed by writer. To the Editor: It was announced through your good paper that we are to have a new Fostoftice ounaing, costing $265,000, to take the place of the beautiful stone building now too small for this growing community, which Is to be torn down. If this building con lei be disman tled and the atone moved and be re-erected at our provisional govern ment park (known to everybody as Champoeg park) as a memorial building, with the use of PWA funds, where such a building is badly need ed to properly house the many his toric relics which many of our good citizens would like to send there provided a suitable, fireproof build ing, such as the old postofflec build ing could provide, would be as wor thy a PWA project as many suggest ed. At least, something should be done to commemorate our first seat of go vernment in a substantial way. Then, perhaps, if our eood old pion eer Albert Tozicr, and sister, were retained to explain our ancient his tory, we might get back the many thosuands of cars that used lo come to the park each year. Yours truly, CHAS. K. SPAULDING. To The Editor: We all know that the whole State of Oregon is Intrestcd right now in a new State Capitol Building. Now that we arc to have a new Past Office building and that a new Court House Is in prospect, is all the more reason that the new Cnpitol Building should be built on the old historic spot that the old Capitol Building occupied, and that I am told that no where in the United States you will sre or find such a sonic setting or tli.it so many public buildings are to be found in a row or centrally located as arc to be seen here in Salem, this cunekc or picturesque setting should be maintained by all odds, and right now of all times In the history of our great Stale no more excess burden should be put on to our alheady over taxed and over burdened tax payers, and too that the city of Salem has so generously offered to close Wavcrly si. and to grant some of Willson park grounds should not be lightly overlooked The loss of the old building Is lo be regretted. I maintain that while building new that an ample building for years lo come should by all means be built. The main part of the new building should & could be built higher & occupy the old spot nort.li & soulh and thai If neces sary a double ell or wings could be extended both east and west. I am sure if the location of a new Capitol building was put up to the voters, the old Mtc would receive a large majority, the cost of buying cither north or soulh of the old site would he cnornius.

Arrangements for bringing the huge parade of giant animals here were made bv Director Solon T. White.

According to Mr. White, the pa rade will also include clowns, call opes, bands and fifteen giant head ed figures. Beyond a doubt the Gilmore Cir cus parade will be one of the most sensational and unusual events ever presented at a state fair," stated Mr. White. "Never before in the history off western festivals has anything been presented that approaches this circus parade in colorful origi nality."

Tall Stranger Sought By Police as Suspect In Long Beach Murder Long Beach, Calif., Aug. 21 (P) Searching vainly for clues, police today sought a tall, well groomed man for ques tioning in connection with the mystery slaying of Mrs. Gladys Ciena Pair, 34 year old nav. al board stenographer. The attractive victim was found in her apartment on the 11th floor of a building yesterday. Her slay er appa'rently fired a bullet Into the back of her head as he sat at her side on the arm of an overstuffed chair. The body, clad in a simple house frock, had been dragged from the living room and draped over Slayer Takes Poison Dose And is Dead fBy United PresNl Reval, Esthonla, Aug 21 (LP) Paul Voigemast, condemned murderer. stoically lifted a "hemlock cup" of deadly poison to his hps today and fell dead, his own olficial execu tioner on behalf of the state. It was the first legal self-execu tion in modern history, under Es thonia's new law giving a condemn ed man the choice of being hanged or killing himself with poison. In the grim military prison of Re val, Voigemast was led into the death chamber. Prison officials and the prison doctor stood silently by. The murderer was handed the poison cup, containing potassium cyanide a poison so deadly that in Its pure form a drop on the tongue kills almost like a stroke of light ning, paralyzing the heart instantly. Voigemast's hands did not even tremble as he took the cup. He did not hesitate, but raised It to his lips and gulped it down. With a long, shuddering intake of breath, he was dead. Voigemast was a day laborer, aged 24. He was convicted of assaulting, raping and murdering a 40-year-old teacher, Hilja Zoege. Only once before has the "hemlock cup" test been offered to a con demned man under fiathonia's new criminal code, which was endorsed by presidential decree on February 1025. In that case, Johannes Nos tra, who murdered his mother, was proffered the cup but refused it. He was hanged. RELATIVE VISIT Aurora Mr. and Mrs George W.

Wray, occu pants of an adjoining apartment, told investigators they saw an un known man walking down the hall way near Mrs. Fair's apartment Monday night. They said he seemed startled at their appearance and fled down a stairway Elevator attendants confirmed po lice suspicions that the stranger walked down the eleven flights of stairs and out a rear entrance of the building. They said they carried no one of this description down the lift. Death of the woman came a day after she parted in San Francisco from her husband of eight years, Evan A. Fair, who had planned to rejoin her as soon as he could find employment in Long Beach. She had spent her vacation with him. Mrs. Fair, an employe in the na val board of inspection and survey for several years, came to Long Beach when the board moved its offices from San Francisco last June. Lict. Commander W. W. Hastings, Mrs. Fair's superior in the naval of fice, was a passenger on the bus on which Mrs. Fair rode south last Sunday. He said her farewell from her husband seemed affectionate and that on the trip down she "ap peared to have no worries." Investigators examining the FRir apartment here said the chair in which the woman sat was only about six inches from the wall, indicating that the slayer pressed the nose of a small caliber pistol to the back of her head as they talked. There was no evidence of a struggle in the room. A trail of blood from the chair to the bathroom indicated what had happened.

CREAMERY WINS INITIAL BOUT The temporary resl raining order secured by the city of Salem against the Marion Creamery & Produce company was dissolved by Circuit Judge Lewelling today, but the dis solution of the order may be only temporary in itself a the court granted the order on the ground that the statutory provision requir ing a bond in such cases had not been complied with. Defense attorneys at the hearing raised two points In addition to the bond, one that the city has no legal capacity to sue and the other that the court has no jurisdiction to en force the injunction. The first question was argued briefly today and the attorneys are to submit briefs immediately. In event the court decides that the city has a legal capacity to sue, then the question of jurisdiction will come up for consideration and the city can find itself back in court again on filing of the proper bond. Defense attorneys contend that the city has a complete legal rem edy in its own charter and ordinance provisions and that it cannot come into equity unless it has no other adequate remedy at law and that it has a completely adequate remedy at law aside from this proceeding.

SAN FRANCISCO '12 00 19 70 LOS ANGELES '1900 '2930 MONKEY DIES WHEN OFFICER HALTS THAWING Hollywood, Aug. 31 tip) Gaston, a four-and-a-half-year-old Rhesus monkey, was dead a martyr appar ently to either science or the law. Gaston, frozen for 17 days by Ralph S. Willard, young research chemist, was in the midst of a pro cess which Willard claims will re vive warm-blooded animals after they have been "frozen to death,' when Dr. C. C. Warn, humane so ciety, stepped into the picture. The portly, thin-lipped humane officer, who had examined the frozen monkey at the start of the experiment an admitted effort on the part on the chemist to answer skeptics who challenged his claims suddenly announced the experi ment was illegal. Willard explained the monkey would die if he did not continue his thawlng-out operations. "But I don't want to be arrested," lie said. Dr. Warn was non-commital about that, pointing out experi ments with animals violated section 599-C of the state penal code, which prohibits thein except in state uni versity laboratories. "I don't say I will arrest you, and I don't say I won't," the humane officer announced. Willard disconnected his appara tus and put Gaston back in the ice box. An hour later he announced the monkey was dead beyond hope of revival. "I invited Dr. Warn to watch the experiment," the chemist explained. "He examined the money when I took it out. Suddenly after I work ed four hours on it he said it was illegal." Willard, accompanied by an at torney, visited Deputy City Prose cutor Harry G. Mellon, who con firmed Dr. Warn's statement.'
