HOT MONEY
SUSPECT CASE
PROBED BY FBI
A federal bureau of Investigation
representative, known to be tn Sa
lem today, was believed to be invest
igating Carl Westphall, 37, com
mitted from Eugene to the state hos
pital for the Insane, and who was
believed to have had "hot money" tn
his possession when arrested In Lane
county. Possible connection with a
kidnaping or some other crime was
suspected.
Indications ot Insanity appeared
after Westphalia arrest. At the hos
pital today It wss said the examina
tion of Westphall had not been com
pleted and, If Insane, the type of
Insanity had not been determined.
Eugene. Jan. 21 UP) Discovery of
$390 in currency In the possession
of Carl Westphall, prisoner In the
county Jail, late Wednesday, coupled
with statements msde by the man,
led county officials here to believe
the prisoner and tne money migm,
be connected with a kidnaping case
or some other crime.
Westphall was arrested by a spe
cial officer ot the Southern Pacific
a few nights ago on charges of steal
ing a ride. Tuesday night, officers
said, he began to exhibit signs of In
sanity and late Wednesday ne was
examined before Circuit Judge O. F.
Sklpworth and was committed to the
state insane asylum.
Following his commitment and
while playing a game of cards with
another prisoner, officers said West
phall took the money out of a wallet
in his pocket and throwing it upon
a table, declared "this Is blood mo
ney, they're going to hang me so you
might Just as well have It."
The other prisoners turned the
money over to sheriff C. A. Swart,
who discovered that the currency
consisted of 13 $20 bills and 12 $10
bills, the money numbered almost
consecutively. This led officers to
suspect It might be part of a ransom
payment.
Numbers of the bills were wired to
the department of Justice In Wash
ington and Sheriff Swarts was In
Salem today to Interview a FBI man
on the matter.

SENIORS WANT
CAPSANDGOWNS
Aaitatlon for caps and gowns for
graduating seniors of Salem high
school was given Impetus this week
when a front page article, the work
of Dorothy Jayes and Ruth O'Neill,
appeared in the Clarion, high scnooi
publication. Each year for a number
of seasons, the question of caps and
gowns has been broached at senior
high but heretofore the rule has
been formal dresses for girls and
blue coats and white flannel trous
ers for boys.
This year Taul Watanabe, presl
dent ot the senior class, has revived
the Issue with a suggestion that up
per classmen wear the uniform garb
during the commencement exercises
next June. "Why not give tne ooys
an equal chance this year, Instead ot
each having to buy new white flan
nels, blue coats and other articles of
clothing that they will proDaoiy nev.
er use again? the Clarion article asas.
"It would do away with formals that
the girls wear at the exercises. These
are long and often cause an accident
that Is embarrassing to the girl."
Caps and gowns can be rented for
$1 AO for the entire commencement
week, It Is stated, $0 percent less
than Salem, high school has been
offered in previous years.

What to Do '
In Case of Flu?-
Stay in Bed
Portland. Jan. 21 m If you've got
the flu, what should you do about it?
If you haven't got It, what should
you watch out for?
Dr. Frederick D. Strieker, state
health officer, answered these ques
tions today for the Associated Press
thusly:
If you have It, go to bed and iso
late yourself from the rest of the
family. Guard against chills, expo
sure or exhaustion. Serious compli
cations, such as pneumonia, may oc
cur if you laugh or work It off. Un
derstand that you've got something
far more threatening than a mere
cold. Stay In bed until your doctor
tells you to get up.
If you haven't fallen victim to It,
protect yourself by staying out of
crowds, washing your hands before
eating, sterilizing eating utensils.
Wear adequate clothing. Avoid exhaustion.
Influenza Is spread from person
to person. Cover up the nose and
mouth If you cough or sneeze.
How can you tell If you are threat
ened?
The symptoms are headaches, du
llness, body pain and great muscular
weakness. There is fever and catar
rahl discharges. If you go to bed Im
mediately, your temperature usually
drops and there Is a gradual recovery
in three or four days.

BANDON BILLS
MEET OBJECTION
After a pre-mornlng session cau
cus of the Multnomah delegation
and a few others Representative
Barnes from Portland today gave
first Indication of possible opposi
tion to the two measures providing
aid for the fire-swept town of Ban
don. Barnes took the floor when It
was opened to debate and queried
several members backing the bill as
to Its Intentions.
Proponents of the measure ven
tured a guess that the slight talk
on the part of a few of the repre
sentatives over these measures
which provide for the cancellation
and remittance of certain taxes to
Bsndon was but an Indication of
undercurrents revolving around the
opposition group to the speaker of
the house. Harry Bolvln. These un
dercurrents do not seem aimed at
the Bandon situation.
Representative Roth, Multnomah,
said the group felt that when there
were 36 amendments to a measure
that the bill should be clarified be
fore It Is passed In the house. He
said the group realized the need for
aid In Bandon and was anxious to
see the measures passed. The two
companion measures were re-re-
(erred to the committee on taxation
and rvenue during the morning ses
sion of the house.

next Thursday for a htaring from
the floor of both majority and
minority reports of the alcoholic
control committee.
Two labor measures, announced
early In the week, made their ap
pearance In the house, one calling
for registration of labor unions and
the other one to prevent sympathy
strikes.
Rep. Clarence F. Hyde, Lane
county, precipitated the liquor ques
tion when he submitted notice to
file a minority report after the al
coholic control committee had
turned down a bill prohibiting the
advertising of alcoholic beverages.
He was the lone dissenter In the
committee vote after a public hear
ing yesterday.
Hyde's request drew sharp criti
cism from signers of the majority
report, and it waa only a margin of
five votes, 27 to 23, that the house
approved the postponement.
The long-awaited labor bills were
bead today In the house, sponsored
by Representative Mrs. William
Munroe and Senator P. J. Stadel-
man. The bill, setting forth restric
tive measures against labor unions,
claimed the support of several agri
cultural organizations.
A group of legislators began
work on the task of drafting a bill
dealing with the patronage prob
lem, with Representative Hannah
Martin, Marion county, leading the
movement.
According to Mrs. Martin, a pro
posed measure would adopt pro
cedure designed somewhat after
that of the Washington legislature.
A wage rate of $8 per day for le
gislators, abolishing seperate sec-
retaries for each legislator, and
providing for a corps of clerks from
the house to serve when needed,
were the main features of the pro
posed measure.
When the session opened last
week there was an outcry from sev
eral quarters over alleged favor
itism shown in selection of secre
taries and clerks. Later there was
a complaint that secretaries for each
senator was a "luxury." When the
nrorjosed measure will come out
was not known.

the old Thlelsen home, 1149 court
street, where he waa residing. Death
apparently was due to heart disease.
For the past 10 years he had been
office manager of the Western Paper
Converting company, coming here
from Medford. In that city he ren
dered distinguished service to the
state where he virtually put the
Oregon apple on the map, winning
first prize with Oregon apples at
the Spokane national apple show
as far back aa 1909. He was cre
dited also with Introducing the Ore
gon apple Into London and this
product has grown Into wide favor
with people of the British Empire.
Harold B. Tronson was scion of
an aristocratic British bouse, a first
cousin of the late Earl of Balfour.

In Canada and one of his early ven
tures there was to enlist In the ser
vice and engaged In helping quell
the Rell Indian rebellion.
From Canada he moved to Port
land where he became associated
with the Balfour-Outhrle company
and was with them many years. He
left that concern to organize the
Neville bag company and It was
then he formed an acquaintance
ship In Salem selling much burlap
to hop men in tnis territory.
From there he and young Guth
rie went to Medford where they
purchased and planted apple or
chards and with products Tronson
played an Important part In the de

which has helped make Oregon
famous the world over.

Salem and was associated with the
Portland Railway Light and Power
company, now the Portland General
Electric company. About 10 years
ago he became office manager of the
wmtern paoer Converting company
and has been a strong factor in toe
deveiooment of that concern.
He hurt his xnee snout w w
ago in a fall and had been confined
to his room since then. Some months
aro he suffered a slight paralytic

connection with his sudden aeaui
