BURSELL HELD TO JURY
ALLEGED SLAYER OF ZIMMER
MAN PLEADS NOT GUILTY
Denied Bail, But Attorney Will Never
theless Make Application There
fore to Court.
" Clarence Bursell, formerly a resi
dent of the Bridgeport section of
Polk county, charged with having
shot and killed Charles C. Zimmer
man, near Silverton, was given a pre
liminary hearing at Salem on Tues
day, and pleaded not guilty to the
information lodged against him, that
of second degree murder. He was
denied bail, but It is understood that
application for bail will be made by
his attorney, John A. Carson. Pend
ing filing and hearing of the appli
cation Bursell will be held in the
county jail.
Witnesses for the state were Sheriff
Each and Mrs. Charles C. Zimmerman,
widow of the dead man, who claims to
have been an eye witness to the al-
' leged crime. Jennings Smith, a pio
neer of 1845, who lives neighbor to
the Bursell and Zimmerman places,
testified tpr the defense, his testimony
consisting largely of accounts of in
cidents In the trouble said to have ex
isted between Bursell and Zimmerman
for about two years. He declared
that he had heard Zimmerman threat
en to kill Bursell and had warned
him not to do so.
Mrs. Zimmerman testified that on
the day of the killing, Bursell, who
lived directly across the road, passed
the Zimmerman house carrying a gun
and that after a few words were ex
changed between herself and husbalid
and Bursell, that the latter fired. Her
husband, according to Mrs. Zimmer
man's testimony, started toward Bur
sell, who continued to fire until Zim
merman fell.
Proceeding on the theory that since
the constitutional amendment abolish
ing the death penalty became a law,
murder Is bailable, John A. Carson,
representing Clarence Bursell, has an
nounced that he would apply- to the
circuit court for ball for his client.
The charge preferred against Bursell
Is murder In the second degree, that
being the highest degree of murder
for which a penalty is now provided.
"Under the law as It stood before the
amendment abolishing the death pen
alty was passed, murder in the first
degree and treason were not bailable
offenses," said Senator Carson in dis
cussing the matter. "Now, however,
there Is no first degree murder; and!
the highest degree of murder that
can be charged Is second degree, and
it avd manslaughter are the degrees
of Murder that must be charged In
all homicide cases. I contend, there
fore, that In all murder cases under
the law, as it now stands, bail can be
allowed."
BUMPER PRUNE CROP ASSURED,
Indications 1 Point to Lower Prices
Tills Fall, Say Authorities.
Prune prices are going to rule low
er this year from all Indications, The
Pacific coast has a large crop and but
little chance to export the surplus, as
the war has paralyzed the foreign de
mand. ' A little business is being done
by packers on the basis of a material
ly lower market than prevailed at
the opening last season. Various es
timates have been made of the size
of . the California prune crop, but a
fair average of the yield is 175,000,
000 pounds. In Oregon, Washington
and Idaho the dried prune output will
run at least 26,000,000 pounds, ac
cording to the best-posted prune men.
It is, therefore, almost assured there
will be a tonnage this year of 200,
000,000 pounds on the Pacific coast,
against 100,000,000 pounds last year.
For the past four or five years, ac
cording to official statistics, the ex
ports of northwestern and California
prunes have been about 46 per cent
of the total production. This year,
a conservative estimate Is 10 per cent,
and some packers figure even a small
er quantity. With these conditions,
it cannot be expected that prices will
be as high as during the past two
or three years. California packers
have sold exceedingly heavy on fu
tures and a little has been done In the
northwest In this line. Packers there
have made contracts with growers to
cover the small amount of business
transacted, paying 6 cents for 80
$5s and a quarter cent drop for each
count of five In orchards that will
produce large sixes, but the general
run of prices paid growers has been
around 6 cents for SO-S&s. Very lit
tle eastern business can be done at
present at these figures.
X-Ray Tells the Story.
Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Barham left yes
terday for Portland, whither they
went to consult a surgeon about the
injury received by Mrs. Barham thir
teen weeks ago, when she fell and
dislocated her right shoulder. Falling
to regain proper use of the shoulder,
Mrs. Barham went to Salem a few
days since, where an X-Ray picture
of the Injured shoulder was taken,
the picture, according to Mr. Barham,
making It plain that the Joint had not
been adjusted. It la probable that an
operation will be

WEDDED IN BIG DOME
POLK COUNTY COUPLE MARRIED
OVERLOOKING NEW HOME.
Enjoy Distinction of Being First to
Be United In Great Brass Canopy
of Oregon's Statehouse.
From the great brass dome of Ore
gon's statehouse at Salem may be seen
a portion of Polk county's richest ag
ricultural land, and it was In this
canopy, far above the corridors of
the structure, that Miss Violet Brown
desired that the ceremony which
would unite her in marriage to Daniel
N. Foster be performed that she might
gaze upon their- future--abiding place
while the nuptial knot was being tied.
And so it was there that the solemn
vows were taken on Tuesday last, by
these estimable young people of the
Salt Creek neighborhood, the Rev.
Hlxon performing the ceremony.
The contracting parties, accompan
led by the bridegroom's mother, Mrs.
J. H. Foster, his sister, Miss Loral ne,
and Mr. William Nlchol, a farmer
friend, and Rev. Hixon, asked permls
j Ion of the superintendent of the
building to visit the dome, and this
having been granted the bridal party
ascended the stairs thereto, where the
marriage took place. It being the first
to be held therein. Many weddings
have heretofore been solemnized with
in the building, but. never before at
the top of the canopy. None in the
statehouse knew or the wedding until
after Mr. and Mrs. Foster had return
ed to the lower floor, and then the in
formation was given out by the super
intendent. The bride and groom are prominent
young people in the locality where
they reside, and after a honeymoon in
Portland, they will be at home to their
many friends on a ranch owned by
Mr. Foster.
BOOK TWO HUNDRED YEARS OLD
Rev. Bennett Possessor of Calf Bound
Volume Printed In 1714.
Rev. Bennett, pastor of the local
Methodist church, has in his posses
sion a book which for age "has it all
over" the one owned by Attorney Glen
Holman, mention of which was made
in The Observer of Tuesday. The book
referred to was printed in London In
1714, and pertains to the concoction
of medicines from English herbs "that
were not In any impression until this,"
by Nick Culpepper, "gentleman stu
dent in phyaick and astrology." The
book has long been In the Bennett
family, but from whence It came the
present owner Is not aware. On the
flyleaf appears this Inscription: "Tim
othy Carpenter, his book; God give
him therein to look. His birth, Au
gust the first, 1740." It is natural to
suppose that the birth alluded to was
that of Carpenter. Following this In
scription Is another; "Silas Csrpenler,
book; God give him grace to it look."

30ARDJMAKES1BUDGET
DALLAS SCHOOL DISTRICT WILL
REQUIRE $23,730 NEXT YEAR,
Provisions Made for Two Additional
Teachers, Increase in Population
Showing It to Be Necessary.
The Dallas board of education es
timates the expenditure which will
be necessary for the 1815-1916 school
iyear for this district to be 123,730
which is somewhat larger than last
year, but the raising of, which amount
will not increase the levy for the
reason that the board last year liqui
dated $5,000 th bonds while this year
lit contemplates paying off but $2,500.
mis latter amount is tne' last oi: tne
grade school building bonds. The dis
trict, however, has outstanding $60
000 high school bonds, on which and
the 12,500 referred to Interest aggre
gating 2,625 must be met. Teachers'
salaries will require $13,600. In this
estimate the board has made provis
ions for two additional teachers, the
increase in school population making
this most probable with the opening
of the fall term. The last census gave
an Increase of seventy children of
school age over the previous year and
by the time school reopens next Sep
tember which means practically a
year from census taking time this
number will undoubtedly have been
augmented.
It is the purpose of the board to ex
pend approximately $1,250 in im
provements to buildings, the greater
item being the installation of a new
furnace at the grade building. In ad
ditional to the above the board esti
mates $250 for furniture, $350 for ap
paratus, $50 for library books and
supplementary readers, $250 for play
ground apparatus, $60 for election ex
penses, $1,000 for Janitors' salaries,
$165 for janitors' supplies, $250 for
fuel, $160 for light and power, $300
for clerk's salary, $75 for postage and
stationery, $260 for water, $30 for
telephone, $375 for laboratory equip
ment, and $300 for insurance.
Dealing for Fine Farm.
Mr. F. B. Van Nortwick, formerly of
Dallas, now of Cottage Grove, has
been in the city a portion of the
week, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs.
J. D. Anderson of that place. Van
Nortwick has a deal on with Mr. An
derson for the purchase of $00 acres
of farm and fruit land one mile from
Cottage Grove. The transaction in
cludes a fine dairy herd and all farm
ing Implements. This Is known to the
writer to be one of the best farms In
the Willamette valley, having excellent
buildings and a ten-acre prune or
chard. Sixty acres are under culti
vation. The deal Involves something
like $20,000.
Want to Change System.
At a meeting of the rural mall car
riers of the state, held at Salem on
Monday and attended by Messrs. Grant
and Morrison of this city, a resolution
was adopted, advocating that the next
legislature pass a bill providing that
road supervisors shall be elected by
the voters of road districts, and that
money raised by taxation for good
roads shall be expended In the district
where the taxes are assessed. A res
olution favoring larger sized parcel
post boxes was also passed.
Abrlleilea Donate Liberally.
A number of Alrlleltes were in Dal
las on Wednesday interviewing the
county court relative to road matters.
The people of this section have raised
$300 In donation work for the main
roads of that locality and $500 for the
Improvement of the highway from the
hill Immediately south of A. rile to the
Benton county line, from which point
the roads to Corvallls are In excel
lent condition."
Has Money to Bura.
The J. C. Penny company, operating
a string of stores In Oregon, one of
which Is In Dallas, has money to burn.
At least that Is what the manager of
the Marsh field store thought the other
day, when he dumped about $200 in
to the stove there. The bank having
closed and the company having no
safe, the manager placed checks, cur
rency and gold to this amount In
small milk can, and put the can in
the waste basket for safe keeping
(through the night The following
morning the janitor put the contents
of the basket In the stove, all except
the gold going up In smoke.
CHANGES IN EXAMINATIONS.
New Law Changes Manner In Which
Schools Are Secured.
The approaching teachers' examina
tions to be held June 30, and July sec
ond and third, will be the last under
present conditions. The 1913 legisla
ture amended the school laws so as to
require that all applicants for teach
ers' certificates must be either grad
uates of high schools with the full
four-year course, and with teachers'
training courses, or else must have
attended a high school at least two
years and have supplemented this
with not less than six weeks' training
at a "standard normal school," or.
other accredited Institution. As this
new law takes effect in September,
1915, it does not affect applicants at
ithe coming examinations, but will
apply to the next December examina
tions.
Under the new laws adopted by the
last legislature, the date of the exam
inations Is also changed. In order
that teachers who have taught during
the year may have a chance for a
brief rest and review the date has,
been changed from the third Wednes-j
day in June to the last Wednesday. I
The fees for the higher grades of
certificates have also been reduced,
a change that will not be unwelcome
to the teachers. Still another change
is to he found in the fact that the
examinations hereafter will extend
through but three days Instead of
four as has been the case heretofore.
Will Use His Own Berries.
Mr. Pugh of Falls City Informs The
Observer that he will not purchase lo
ganberries from growers In that vl
cinity this season, as had been stated
in these columns. ' Mr, Pugh has
twelve acres of berries of, his own
growing; and, these will be made into
juice. The 'market for the juice of
the loganberry Is not large at this
time, and, he is of the opinion that if
he succeeds in disposing of hlB own
product he. will be doing well. He
has but recently completed a new fac
tory at Falls City.

War Not Likely.
United States Senators Walsh and
Myers of Montana are confident that,
not the slightest danger exists of a
war between the United States and
Germany. So far as the possibility of
an armed conflict is concerned, their
confidence is well founded, for the
simple and -controlling reason that
Germany Is powerless to strike the
United States, and it is Inconceivable
that the United States would be so
Injudicious as to draw sword against
Germany when It has readily avail
able Incomparably better weapons.
Some one has aptly recalled an an
ecdote of Lincoln. Challenged by a
blustering fellow In his younger days
to fight a duel, Lincoln turned the
laugh on his assailant by accepting
provided he should nsme the condi
tions snd the weapons. Hs pro
posed that the two combatants take
positions at either end of a ll-floot
plank, that neither be permitted to
move from his tracks, and that the
weapons be broadswords.
In ths Improbable event of a diplo
matic - break between Germany and
the United States the possibility of
bloodshed would be about as remote
as in the duel" proposed by Lincoln.
The broad Atlantic rolls between us.
Germany could not send an arme-l
expedition to this country; we should
not be so simple as to try to build up
and send an army across the ocean.
Spokesman Review.
MEXICANS ARE NOTIFIED
WOODBOITS WATCHFUL WAITING
I PROGRAM COMES TO END.
Revolutionary Leaders Told They
Must Quickly Compose Differences
or Take Consequences.
Alt factions in Mexico have been f
publicly called upon by President Wil
son in the name of the United States
government ( "to accommodate their
differences" and set up a government
that can be accorded recognition.
Failure to unite in a movement to
bring peace to -Mexico "within a very
short time," it was announced In &
statement telegraphed to Generals
Carranza, Villa, Zapata and others,
would constrain the United States "to
decide what means should be employ
ed" in order to save the people- of
the southern republic from further
devastations of internal warfare. Ev
erywhere in official and diplomatic
quarters and among Mexicans of var
ied learning the statement was in- .
terpreted as meaning that the United
States would bring pressure to bear
first to unite the factions In the choice
of a provisional president and failing
td bring all elements together, would
give active support to those elements
which did agree. Intervention was
considered as a possible ultimate de
velopment, but only as a hopeless con
dition of anarchy followed with no
remedy from within the republic.
The statement marks a departure
in the policy of the Washington gov
ernment toward . Mexico. Its effect
was to start a variety of speculation
as to what the American government
meant by lending "its active moral
support to some man or group of men,
if such may be found, in an effort to
ignore if they cannot unite the war
ring factions of the country." In high
official quarters at Washington, say
the dispatches, it was explained that
the United States hitherto had main
tained neutrality as between the fac
tions, but now was preparing to
choose between them or to give its
support to those elements In the exist
ing factions which gave most promise
of success. An embargo on arms and
the cutting off of other means of sup
port in the United States would put
into operation to assist the chosen
elements as against those which ig
nored the American government's de
mand for peace.
While details of the government's
policy are not yet available, further
says these dispatches, it was said on
good authority that it was Intended
to restore constitutional government
in Mexico after the factions had -agreed
on a man for provisional presi
dent by first according recognition to
Vasques Tagle or some of the other
members of the cabinet of the late
President Madero entitled to succes
sion under the Mexican laws. Tha
minister so recognized would be ex
pected to appoint to the cabinet the
man chosen to head the new govern
ment, In whose, favor he then would
resign.
