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.

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. H. L. CLARK.

Ghosts of the past, giant, Inflated

lions and other vertebrates that
roamed this land millions of years
ago, will descend on those who at
tend the Oregon state fair on the
opening day which will be Chil
dren's day, August 31.
Two and three stories high during
their "Inflation" period the "ani
mals" will be an outstanding fea
ture of the Gil more Circus parade
to be staged that afternoon under
the auspices of the Oregon state
fair.
Arrangements for bringing the
huge parade of giant animals here
were made bv Director Solon T.
White. He had heard of the tre
mendous interest animals of this
typo designed by Tony Sarg had
aroused in New York, Portland,
Long Beach and other cities where
they paraded, and working with of
ficials of the Glimore OH company
negotiations were completed for
bringing the huge parade here.
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."
CRITICAL TESTS
FOR ARMY PLANES
Dayton, O., Aug. 21 (IP) A million
dollars worth of sturdy bombing
planes were being prepared today
for critical tests before expert eyes
of the army air corps' officers
tests that arc to contribute toward
stronger defense of America's sky
ways.
Three giant planes, each carefully
built by private concerns at an es
timated cost of more than $300,000,
will undergo rigid tests over a spec
ial course at Patterson field here,
beginning Thursday. The bombing
plane which any army air board
finds best suited to the needs of
modern warfare will be purchased
by the war department.
Believed to be the fastest aircraft
of its size ever built Is Boeing's new
'flying fortress, which flew from
Seattle. Wash., lo Dayton yesterday

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

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

back of her head as he sat at her
side on the arm of an overstuffed
chair. The body, clad in a simple

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.

Mr. and Mrs. W. H. 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.
Vacation Is Spent

lowing her husband on his fishing
trips when they and their young
daughter Dorsi were at the coast
where they spent 10 days. The ac
cident happened while they were at
Yachats. After the fracture had
been reduced and the right arm was
placed in a sling the vacationists
went on with their trip. They re
turned to Hubbard Friday.

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.

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.'
