Landy, about 55 and 50, at their farm home, and then turned high powered rifle on himself aft er walking a mile to his own farm. Laprud, Strassburg said, was heir to a one-third parcel of the estate of an uncle who died two years ago. Landy was the administrator. Ill feeling between them was gen erally recognized In this village. Btrassburg explained, and It reach i da climax Saturday night when Landy refused Lagrud's demand for ; money. An 11-year-old boy, Piny Bush, who was playing near Lagrud's place yesterday, was the key wit ness at the Inquest. He told how Lagrud practiced shooting with his .22 rifle, cleaned 11 and remarked. "I might as well get them now." Then, the boy said , he headed toward Landy's home. A half hour later he returned, telling Mrs. Anna Bush, the bov's mother, "Well, I've finished them. Goodbye. Ho went toward the creek with the .22 and a high calibre rifle. Both were In his clutch when Mrs. Bush found him after a shot a moment later. With an open wound In his head, he lived three hours. Mrs. Bush went to the Landy homo with Lawrence Oie, they said at the Inquest. Landy was found dying on the porch and Mrs. Landy dead In the yard. Both were shot In the head.

Artist Sketches New Capitol on Candalaria Heights Location Continuation of PWA Grants (From Page 1) the matter would be taken before the legislature for a direct appropria tion. The requests were (or $206,292 to ward the central heating plant on the proposed $458,426 project, and $142,424 for the tclephono system on a proposed $316,497 project. Dan Pry, secretary of the board of control, declared the slate sal vaged about $20,000 In the razing of Ihe old capitol building which was destroyed by fire April 25. Materials sold totaled $4368, while brick saved for other purposes totaled more than $15,000. The building was razed by the SERA. At the suggestion of Treasurer Ru fus C. Hoi man, the board author ized a scientific diet study of all state institutions be made by the domestic science department of the state college. Along with this a stu dy of farm produce was likewise re quested with a view of supplying mora food for the various institu tions; "It is not our purpose to make the diet study in an effort to un derfeed the patients and inmates," Holman said, "but to properly nour ish them economically. I am con vinced a saving would be effected by elimination of much waste." Several of the larger Institutions at least have dieticians In charge, it was pointed out by Secretary of State Earl Snell. The discussion was provoked by submission to the board of the awards for meat supplies during the next three months. Fry reported meat prices to the state had ad vanced about 10 percent over a year ago. Since three months ago, he said, a slight decrease has been noted in beef prices while pork advanced slightly. The state's purchase was for 185, 600 pounds of various Kinds of meat, ranging in price for 7 cent a pound for cow beef to more than 27 cents a pound for smoked luron. Success ful bidders were Swiff, & company, Friedman's Alder Market. Armour & company, Ncbcrga:i Meat com pany and Callahan's Market.

Nevertheless he took the bicycle with him, said he would have it repaired and returned to the boys. William A. Mcllcon, route 7, and Mrs. H. H.

Parking Sign Held For Police Ransom Seattle (IP) A new wrinkle in kidnaping appeared on Seattle po lice department blotters when Ralph M. Sweet, Insurance broker, held a traffic sign for ransom. "I will return the same if proper consideration is given to the two enclosed parking tags," Sweet wrote.

M. 165 Capitol Site Grant Sought By Governor Because of previous assurances from President Roosevelt and Sec retary Ickes, Governor Martin re fused today to give up hope that Oregon may be granted PWA funds to buy additional land for the new state capitol site. Despite reports that PWA had disapproved the state's application for federal funds with which to help buy the Willamette univer sity campus, the governor was still waiting for official word from Washington, D. C. "We have been dealing directly with President Roosevelt and Sec retary Ickes," Martin said, indicat ing that the state's case might be appealed to them again. A group of constitutional lawyers in Portland have advised the gover nor that the capitol may be built on a hill site south of the city, not withstanding Attorney General Van Winkle's opinion. Martin did not name the attor neys whose opinions he quoted. They believed the constitution did not mean to select "an area of ground" as the permanent seat of state government, but "the city at EIGHT DIE IN CHICAGO FIRE Chicago, Sept. 30 (VP) Eight per sons, four of them the children of one family, were killed today In a fire and explosion which gutted a three story tenement building, Eight others were injured. Frank Vitale, owner of a grocery on the first floor, was taken to a police station for questioning. Vi tale admitted he carried $3,000 In surance on the store and had closed it yesterday afternoon for the first time in 15 years. Ho denied any knowledge of the cause of the blaze. The explosion rocked the block and before most of the 20 occu pants of the building could make their escape, flames swept through the entire structure. Those not burned to death were injured In leaps from windows. The four victims in one family were Daniel and Pasquelina Cap pola, 10 year old twins, and their brothers, Philip, 4 and Ralph, 12. or In which the capitol would be located." Van Winkle said the capitol could be built only within the city limits of Salem as they existed In 1864 when the voters chose Salem as the permanent seat of government. The Portland attorneys also said the law allowing public Institutions to be built anywhere in Marlon county "may well be interpreted to include the capitol building." BAR BODY TO STUDY MARTIN'S PROPOSAL Principles and not personalities prompted him to suggest that the state's attorney-general be appointed instead of elected, Governor Mar tin said today. The governor recommended the change in the law at the first an nual meeting of the new Oregon State Bar. Attorneys opposed the governor's views, but out of courtesy voted to study Martin's recommendations and have a committee report them next year. A resolution pro posed by Oscar Hayter, Dallas, which would have put the bar vir tually on record as favoring appoint ment of the attorney-general by the governor, was defeated. The governor said he had quarrel with Attorney-General Van winkle or any member of his staff, but thought It would be best for the 'state If the people gave up their right to elect an attorney-general and let the governor appoint the legal counsel, just as any client chooses an attorney. TO CALL ARMY OF 2,000,000 FOR ETHIOPIA (Continued from page l afternoon and that the car had been stolen from Irvine Hood of Albany. Shields' father said he believed he saw the youth in the car about ?. o clock Sunday afternoon. This morning the car was found at Roseburg and the search for Shields has been taken up there. He has been an inmate of a California reform school. hostilities, while diplomats at Geneva suggested that probably nothing would be done until fight ing actually broke out. Objections were voiced there to "trying to put out the fire before it really starts." Addis Ababa, Sept. 30 m Em peror Haile Selassie was prepared tonight to call for a general mobili zation of approximately 2,000,000 fighting men. All that remained in the way or such action was to determine from his representatives in Geneva whether the League of Nations would fall in efforts to prevent an Italian attack. The government was kept busy is suing official denials of unfounded rumors. Among the rumors denied was that the general mobilization would be Tuesday or Wednesday. that Italy had begun hostilities in the north, that Italian aviators were flying daily over Ethiopian territory and that two shipments of Japa nese munitions had arrived. An advisor to the king of kings asserted that if necessary 2,000,000 Ethiopian warriors would soon be marching. No definite date was set for the general mobilization, however, and authorities said it was conceivable that the proclamation might even be withheld if the League of Na tions or the Ethiopian delegation to Geneva advised such action. Calling the League of Nations' at tention to the "increasing gravity of Italian aggression," Haile Selassie said in his telegram to Geneva: "The time has come when we would be failing in our duty if we longer de layed general mobilization." Continuation of Youths Steal Autos From page One about 8:30 o'clock young Shields left Cold Spring camp, hitch-hiking south. Later in the forenoon the Hillcrest service station called state police with information that a car with a youthful driver had stopped there, coming from the south. The driver had gotten gasoline and oil then driven quickly away without paying' for it. The woman calling from the station described the' car and driver and .gave the first three figures of the license number. Officers believed this was Shields, Though the call from Hillcrest sta tion had been made immediately after he drove away officers were unable1 to locate him. It developed later that "he had hidden out in the Liberty district several hours in the DOUBLE TORSO CRIME FOOND Dumfriesshire, Scotland, Sept. 30 Pi A double "torso murder" mys tery confronted authorities here to day with the discovery of two heads four arms and four legs wrapped in paper parcels in a ravine two mlks from here. The heads were believed to be those of a man and woman. A newspaper used as wrapping in one or the parcels bore an early Sep tember date. FUNNY HOBBY WiUlamsport, Pa.
