LAST RESPECTS
DEAD INVENTOR
Rome, July 31 (U R) Thousands of
Italians, rich and poor, (lied silently
today past the bier of Uuglielmo
Marconi, who died in the midst of
the most amazing experiment of his
amazing inventive career.
His body lay In state in the Gala
tea hall of the Royal Academy of
which he was president. His while
gloved hands clutched a rosary
against the medals of many lands
emblazoned on his breast
From statesmen, presidents, kings
and scientists came thousands of
messages of condolence.
At dusk today private funeral ser
vices were to be held In the little
church of Santa Maria Oeglle An
gell where Marconi often prayed.
Premier Mussolini ordered a national
funeral at Marconi's native Bologna
where the body will be buried In the
family vault at Pontechlo.
His body will lie in state until 8
p.m. At that hour religious services
In memory of Italy's most famed son
will be held throughout Rome.
Premier Benito Mussolini and
members of the government were to
march behind the gun carriage bear
ing Marconi's coffin from the acad
emy to the church.
The body will be sent to Bologna
tomorrow. The national funeral will
be Friday.
The thousands who viewed the
body Included carabineers In bril
liant uniforms, academy officials In
evening dress, peasants and city
folk. Two nuns knelt In prayer beside
the bier.
On Marconi's knee rested his aca
demician's hat and by his side lay

Berlin Newspaper
Attacks Vatican
Berlin, July 21 (U.B The influ
ential newspaper Angrlff published
a broadside attack today against
the Vatican.
It was interpreted as serving to
prepare public opinion for official
invalidation of the concordat with
the Vatican because of the dispute
between the Reich and the Holy
See over the treatment of the church
in Germany.
The article was headlined, "Pul
pits War Against Reich Who
Broke the Concordat?" It recalled
recent anti-German declarations by
Catholic dignitaries.
Death taxes collected in England
show that 13 millionaires died
there in the last year.

Sweet Home Booming
As Logical Center of
Lumbering Activity
Albany, July 21 (P) Sweet Home, already growing by
leaps and bounds as the result of revived lumbering activi
ties, is destined to enjoy further growth for many years to
come, Oregon electric railway offl-
clals, sawmill operators and high
way commission engineers said at a
public utilities commission hearing
here yesterday.
Witnesses agreed that Sweet
Home Is the logical center for ex
tensive milling operations incidental
to the opening up of the vast tim
ber tracts which are tributary to it
in eastern Linn county.
C. C. Cameron, who is launching
a sawmill enterprise at Sweet
Home, said that Linn county's
standing timber Is eclipsed in ex
tent only by two other counties In
the United States, and most of it
will pass through Sweet Home or
will be milled there.
A. J. Witchell, Oregon Electric
engineer, said that the timber area
In the Sweet Home territory totals
20 billions of feet.
The occasion for the hearing was
the petition of the Oregon Electric
railway for permission to construct
a passing track at Sweet Home,
crossing the Santlam highway.
Witchell and E. B. Heath. O. E.
trainmaster, contended that the in

Witchell revealed that his com
pany is, contemplating the exten
sion of its line eastward up the
South Santiam river toward Foster
to serve existing and projected saw
mills. The Oregon electric plans to dou
ble its present train service immedi
ately and contemplates further
trains without limitation, Witchell
added.
H. G. Smith, state highway com
mission construction engineer, tes
tified that In his opinion the pro
posed passing track would increase
highway traffic hazards, particu
larly In view of prospective increase
in travel on the Santiam highway.
As to this road he predicted that
contracts for completion will be
awarded by the highway commis
sion next year.
John Beakey, highway traffic
engineer, testified similarly and
asserted that the South Santiam
highway will rank In importance
second only to the Waplnitia road

GRUBSTAKES OF $50
GIVEN 200 MINERS
The state board of geology and

the loans to legitimate prospectors
who are residents of Oregon. If the
miner is successful, he must pay
back the loan plus 10 per cent of
his receipts.

LIQUOR TARIFF
LAWS BY STATE
HIT BY KELTY
Mackinac Island, Mich., July 31
(U r Tariff wars between itatea,
political "chiseling" and the al
liance between politics and liquor
were scored today before the na
tional conference of state liquor
administrators.
The conference heard E. 8. Kelty,
of the Distilled -Spirits institute,
liken discriminatory legislation
adoped by states In the battle to
protect their own alcoholic pro
ducts to the competitive world re
armament program.
Kelty advocated elimination of
laws such as those of Indiana which
discriminates against Michigan
beer, and those of Michigan which
permit the liquor commission to
bar products of states hostile to
Michigan liquors and beers.
"Such legislation," Kelty said,
"can only result in boycott and re
taliation." B. E. Manley. chairman of Iowa's
liquor control commission, con
demned "chiselers" of all kinds
deceptive advertising, political "pro
tection" fee claimers, rebaters, and
grafters nd said that unless their
practices are stopped they will
"ruin the industry."
"Politics and liquor make poor
bed lei lows," Man lev said.
