r 1031, which haa been a year ot
general decrease In travel, tourist
travel to Crater Lake has INCREAS
ED. Last year, during the season, there
were 167,693 visitors. This year there
were 170,384 visitors.
The increase amounts to eight per
. cent.
OREGON, aa might be 'supposed,
sent the largest number of vis
itors to Crater Lake this year, the
total number ot Oregonlans visiting
this blue Jewel of the high Cascades
' being 91,835.
California la next alter Oregon,
with a total of 61,494. That Is to aay,
for each three visitors from Oregon
there were TWO visitors from California.
C RATER LAKE was discovered by
a party composed about equally
of Oregonlans and Callfornlans. Its
Interest, to this day, remains ab'.ut
equally divided between Oregon and
California.
OF THE somewhat more than 170,
000 visitors to Crater lake this
summer, approximately 80,000 came
from outside the state ot Oregon.
This writer, so tar, has seen no es
timates as to what these 80,000 visit
ors spent while they were here. It la
bard to believe, however, that they
could have got out of Southern Ore
gon without spending fct least 1C
each.
If that la true, these 80.000 visitors
left some $800,000 of NEW MONEY
In Southern Oregon.
WHEN we list 'the cash value of
our resources, we don't Include
nnorv. But scenery la a resouroe
that has actual cash value.
If you doubt that, consider the
$800,000 of new money that must
have been left In Southern Oregon
this summer by visitors to Crater
lake.
K ND don't forget this: Scenery,
"when It is sold, ISNT TAKEN
AWAY. It la left by the purchaser,
to be sold over and over again. And
the more It is sold the more saleable
It becomes.
Every visitor to Crater lake, South
em Oregon's great scenlo asset, be
comes an ADVERTISER for Crater
lake.

FEDERAL BUILDING, Chicago,
Oct. 10 (AP) Philip D'Andrea, per
sonal friend and constant companion
of Al Capone at the scar-faced gang
chief's Income tax trial was ordered
by Federal Judge James H. Wllker-
son today to stand trial for carrying
a pistol in the courtroom.
D'Andrea, suave, natuiy-aressea,
and secretive appearing, was seized
by three deputy United States mar
shals as he left the court room alter
today's session. The marshals found
a .38 calibre pistol tucked under his
belt.
Capone and his attorneys pleaded
unsuccessfully for his release, and
he was taken away to jail. Judge
WUkerson called his court Into spec
ial session again this afternoon and
ordered D'Andrea to be arraigned be
fore him Monday morning on a rule
requiring him to show cause why
he should not be punished for con
tempt of court.
I had been informed tnat men
with pistols were coming Into the
courtroom during the trial," Judge
WUkerson announced, "and it was I
who ordered D'Andrea arrested."
The Judge then ordered govern
ment officials and court officers to
take strict precautions beginning
Monday to prevent "gun-toters" from
entering the court.
There is a rule in the federal
court of long standing that any man
who comes Into the court armed
should be punished," Judge WUker
son said. "The offense Is so fla
grant and the affront to the court
Is so serious that no application for
ball for this defendant will be con
sidered until Monday morning. Take
him back to Jail."
D'Andrea first told officials he Is
a deputy- bailiff of municipal, court
and declared be had a permit to car
ry a pistol. Investigators said, how
ever, they nad round nis Damn ap
pointment had expired and the gun
carrying permit had been revoked.
Witnesses testified Capone spent
$35,000 for incidental expenses such
as telephone bills, kitchen utensils,
meats, bakery goods, and Improve
ments to his home during three
winters In Florida.
All said they regarded the. defend
ant as "good pay and a fine cus
tomer." One said he saw "a roll
of bills that would choke an ox and
a couple of handfulls of money wrap
pers marked 91000," at the Capone
home on Palm Island, Fla.
The defense objected to each state
ment made by each witness and
Judge WUkerson overruled them, A
final and sweeping objection also
was made by defense attorneys to
evidence that about $80,000 was sent
by telegram to Capone In Florida
from persons In Chicago.
H. F. Ryder, builder of a boat
house on the Capone property, was
the witness who told of Al's 9125
"oversight" and of the roll of cur
rency In the home. The big gang
ster directed hla attorneys In ques
tioning Ryder, and It was brought
out tihat Ryder never asked for the
overdue bill, "because I was busy
every day and afraid to go to Ca
pone a place at night."
Capone paid most of his bills In
cash, the witness said, but a few
times they were given checks bear
ing the names of Jack Guzlk. The
gang chief also was said to have pre
vailed upon the tradesmen to cash
telegraphic money orders for him.
The case against D'Andrea was said
by government agents to be more
serious than they at first believed.
D'Andrea claimed to be a deputy
bailiff of municipal court, but the
Investigation said that time was
long ago. A permit to carry a gun
under that type of service has since
been revoked, they said.

French Proposals To Amer

Greets Women Peace
Leaders Bearing Petition
To .White House.
PARIS. Oct. 10. (AP) The Im
pending visit of Premier Pierre La
val was hailed today as an event of
the first Importance by two of
France's former ambassadors to the
United States Jules Jusserand, long
the dean of the Washington diplo
matic corps, and Jules Cambon,
France's envoy at the turn of the
century.
M. Jusserand declared that In Pre
mier Laval President Hoover "will
find a man according to bis heart"
a man who prefers to do things
rather than to talk about them.
M. Canbon said In a similar state
ment that the Laval trip Indicates
Franco-American relations "have
never been more cordial."
The French premier la sailing for
the United States October 18, tak
ing, with him Louis Aubert, expert
on the armament problem. It was
authoritatively reported that when
the premier meets the president he
will make disarmament proposals
based on budgetary considerations.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10. (AP)
A common goal of world disarma
ment, President Hoover said today. Is
the objective of the leaders of the
nations.
Standing In the ornate east room
of the White House, the chief exec
utive had Just received a 125.000-slg-nature
petition borne across the con
tinent by the Women's International
League of Peace and Freedom Leaders
of the organization had spoken, ask
ing vast cuts in armament expendi
tures.
The prcslde.it made no mention ot
war debts and .reparations, a subject
that has been interlocked with dis
armament In recent weeks. Mr. Hoo
ver Intends to demand a reduction of
Europe's military and naval expend!
turea before he concedes the nations
of that continent any further finan
cial relief.
Most congressional leaders nre of
the same mind. They are awaiting re
sults of February's disarmament con
ference at Geneva before making any
commitments on such moves as an
extension of the intergovernmental
nfortttorlum.
The whole situation Is to be thor
oughly dissected in Intimate discus
sions between Mr. Hoover and Pre
mier Laval of France two weeks
hence.
Two administration leaders, Sena
tors Reed of Pennsylvania and Ring
ham of Connecticut, made fresh de
mands for congressional authoriza
tion of an American navy of the size
permitted by the London treaty. It
Is obviously the desire of a consider
able group in congress to show Eu
rope that America Intends building
war ships unless the old world na
tions consider some measure of dis
armament. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 10 (AP)

WOODEN LEG IS
DEPOSITORY FOR
OF
State Started Suit For
Board During Stay At
Asylum And Wins Action
Limb Was Hollow.
BOISE, Ida., Oct. 10. (AP) Mrs.
Emma .Oilman's leg, the one with
the money In It, has yielded the
state $1714.
It came about because Mrs. Gil
man's leg was discovered to have
,$2500 secreted In It when she was
at the state asylum for the Insane
at Oroflno. For five years she was
cared for at the expense of the state
but recently It was found she had
cached many shares of bank stock
in the hollow of her wooden leg.
Since the state requires that pat
ients pay for their keep If they are
able, a suit was started In Shoshone
county district court for "back
board" at the rate of a dollar a day.
The state won, Lewis Williams, com
missioner of public welfare was ad

FLAME DESTROYED
Charred timbers were all that re
mained of the six-room, two-story
house on Stewart avenue, belonging
to William O'Hara which burned lost
evening at 11 o'clock. The fire was
discovered in the back of the house
by D. Hendrlckson, a neighbor, no
one being at home In the O'Hara
house at the time. The cause was
undetermined.
Mr. O'Hara stated that the house
was covered by Insurance amounting
to 2000,
Only a part of the furniture from
the living room was saved from the
burning structure, the fire spreading
rapidly, until the whole house was
a mass of flames. A part of the
pump house, which was adjacent to
the residence, was burned. The barn
and garage, a short distance further
back on the property, was not dam
aged. Immediately after the call was
phoned, two trucks from the Med
ford fire department went to the
residence, where the flames were
soon extinguished. However, the fire
had spread to such an extent by
that time, the firemen were unable
to save any part of the house.
A steady stream of cars from the
city went the various roads to Spring
street, where city traffic officers and
state police kept the traffic lanes
open.

Last Day.
WEST ORANGE, N. J., Oct. 10.
(AP)-f-Tbe world for Thomas A, Edi
son now Is Just one person his wife.
Aa the In von tor lay In a stupor to
day, on the verge of a coma. Dr. Hu
bert S. Howe said Mr. Edison for
days has been able to recognize no
ono except his white-haired wife,
who has been at his bedside almost
constantly.
In the past, because of the pecul
iar timbre of her voice, her words
have been clear to Mr. Edison despite
his deafness. To this circumstance
Is partially attributed his ability to
recognize her now.
Other members of his family are
maintaining a vigil near the sick
room but the last word of farewell
between them and Mr. Edison ap
parently has been exchanged.
How much longer he will be able
to recognize Mrs. Edison waa beyond
prediction. She remains close at
hand to keep alive his last contact
with Vie world.
As Dr. Howe came from his routine
examination of the patient he told
reporters:
"About the only change In Mr.
Edison's condition is that it Is in
creasingly difficult for him to take
nourishment. He has had nothing
In the Inst 24 hours. In the pre
ceding 24 hours he bad only six
tcBspoonsful of cereal.
"He la not taking liquids, which
are very necessary If the uremic
poisoning Is to be kept from spread
ing through his system."
Dr. Howe described as "a lot of
nonsense" a state by Mr. Edison's
barber that the Inventor had rec
ognized him yesterday.

Non-Partisan Only To Cause
Dollars To Flow Hoover
Policies Seen As Vantage
As Democrats Plan
Heavy Growling.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10. (AP)
Republicans and Democrats are Join
ed behind the Hoover plan to make
dollars flow more freely, but the
party leaders have by no means lost
sight of Its political possibilities.
The care taken by the president
to make his White House conference
this week a bi-partisan affair won
the unity of action he considered im
perative. That It will be maintained
In any broad program to alleviate
business distress Is taken as assured.
However, veteran politicians expect
plenty of debate on details of the
legislation sought. Neither party will
overlook the potentialities offered,
especially with ft presidential cam
paign ahead.
Should the next few months see
business steadily improving, more
than one Republican doubtless will
add to the rejoicing every good word
for the administration that can be
fitted in. Likewise, reminders of co
operation given the president by the
Democrats will be plentiful.
Abundant conflict Is in store for
congress from the start on the first
Monday In December. The two ma
jor actions It faces first have huge
support In both parties. These are
the year's moratorium on lnter-gov-ernmental
debts, and amendments to
the banking laws needed to effect
the program on behalf of easier
credit conditions.
Acceptance of the moratorium la
sure, but one of the leading Demo
crats on Capital hill, Representative
Garner, will be In the lead of ob
jectors. How much strength hla op
position can command Is uncertain.
One reason that the bi-partisan
approach to these major economic
questions was so desirable can be
seen In the close division of both
senate and house membership, aa
between the parties. There la no
absolute certainty as to which party
will organize either branch.

President Hoover tonight reached the

It began last Sunday with a hur
ried return from the Rapldlan to

WASHINGTON STADIUM, Seattle,
Oct. 10. (AP) On the wings of a
dazzling 87-yard "non-stop flight"
down this turf covered field this aft
ernoon went the University of Wash
ington's hopes for the Pacific coast
football championship when BUI
Bowerman, aubstltute Oregon end,
landed" safely behind the Husky
goal line to give the Webfootera a
13 to 0 victory.
The spectacular dash came In the
dying minutes of play when Wash
ington was driving like mad under
the shadow of the Oregon goal posts
and It turned a possible tie. Into a
sure win for the green clad grlddera
of Eugene.
Even though It killed the Huskies
chances In the battle It sent a thrill
through the 33,000 spectators In
eluding Clyde Pangborn and Hugh
Herndon Jr. The two a via torn were
the guest of Governor Roland H.
Hartley at the game.
Both Oregon touchdowns came In
the last period, the first on a one
foot buck by "Shufflin' Joe" LIU
lard, sensational negro half-back,
and the other by Bowerman when
the Webfoot end grabbed an intend
ed Washington touchdown pass by
Merle Hufford, Husky halfback, on
Washington's 13 yard line and raced
like a scared deer down the side
line to the purple and gold goal.
Opening the fourth period with
the ball in Oregon's possession on
Washington's 36 yard line the Web
footera started a vicious drive with
Don Watts and .his team mate LU
lard back in the fray.
The two halfbacks made It a first
down on the Huskies' 35 yard line
on tn roe plays and then came the
forward pass that put the Webfoot-.
ers In a position to score.
On a reverse play LI Hard handed
the ball to Watts and the tow-.
headed youngster dropped 30 yards
behind the line ,of scrimmage and
then began running back again to
give his ends time enough to reach
the goal line. Just before he reach
ed the line of scrimmage again ha
let go of the pigskin. Lawrence
Winter hauled It down one foot from
the double white pay Unea. The reat
was easy with LUlard driving over
for the touchdown and Ed Moeller
converting the try for point from
placement.
The touchdown put a spark Into
the Huskies that sent them charg
ing down the field like mad shortly
after the klckoff. Benny Sohn, sub
stitute Washington halfback, put the
purple and gold grlddera In a posi
tion to score when be startled the
fans with a 47 yard run after catch
ing a punt. It gave the Huskies
the ball on Orogon'a 33 yard line
and the big crowd went Into
frenzy.
Hufford sneaked through center
on a spin play for three yards and
then tossed a short pass to Bledsoe
for 10 yards and, a first down on
the Ducks 10 yard line.
The spectators were howling for s
touchdown and the Huskies were
trying to give it to them. Bledsoe
battered center for three more yards
but was stopped dead on a reverse
play around right end.
Then came the bolt that rocked
the stadium. Hufford dropped back .
for another pass, a short one as It
wss only the third down, and the
ball sailed plunk Into the arms of
Bowerman and the Webfooter hot
footed through a scramble of play

congressional action to advance the
date for release of the $1,238,000 of
forest highway funds allocated to
Oregon so that the money might be
