Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS.
IN MARYLAND, In a preference
PRIMARY, not a convention.
President Hoover wins over Senator
Prance, a Maryland man, by a ma
jority ot three to two.
Put that down among the signifi
cant political developments of the
week.
OLANS are under way. and have
received the approval of the sec
retary of the interior, for the crea
tion of Sparrow Memorial Park, on
the Crater Lake highway, near the
entrance to the park.
Alex Sparrow, former superinten
dent of Crater Lake National park,
county Judge of Jackson county when
he died as a result of accidental In
juries received in Klamath Falls,
entitled If ever a man was to the
high honor Involved In being known
as a "regular fellow," would have
pooh-poohed such a suggestion.
He craved no honor other than the
respect of hi fellows; was content
with the knowledge that he was
doing his Job well.
BUT those who knew Alex sparrow
will welcome the opportunity to
pay respect to his memory, to per
petuate a name that was a GOOD
name. For that .reason, the Spar
row Memorial Park project la a
worthy one.
EX-PRESIDENT COOLIDGE, fish
ing on a private stream In Con
necticut, catches a dozen trout ol
more than a pound each, as well as
' several too small to keep. That is
news, and gets on the front pagcB
of most of the daily newspapers 01
the country.
If you and I caught a dozen trout,
It wouldn't be news outside our own
circle of friends, including those
to whom we gave some of the fish.
Moral: If you want to be big
news, be a BIO MAN.
BUT If you. want to ENJOY Lira
In the quiet ways that appeal
to ordinary people, free from the
burdens of responsibility and of the
necessity to live up to what the
public thinks of you, remain Just
an ordinary citizen.
That lesson Is brought out strik
ingly In the movie, "It's Tough to
Be Famous."
npEN TONS of spinach are harvested
at The Dalles, and shipped to
Hillsboro for FREEZING.
Mark that statement, which is far
more significant than It seems. Freez
ing is a new process of preserving
foods that may revolutionize present
practices of getting perishable foods
from the producer to the consumer.
ORDINARY freezing, as everybody
knows, preserves perishable fooas
from decay, but also, as everybody
knows, ordinary freezing affects se
riously the quality of such foods
after they thaw.
If you doubt that, try freezing
an 'apple or a tomato and then
eating it after it thaws out,
ORDINARY freezing breaks down
the cells of the frozen product.
The new process of freezing by con
trolled temperature DOESN'T. When
food so frozen thaws out It comes
back very closely to Its original
state.
THIS story, which is quite inter
esting. Is told of the discovery
of quick freezing and its astonish
ing results:
A young scientist was spending
the winter up In the Arctic circle,
and one day he went out to fish
through the Ice. The temperature
was EXCEEDINGLY low, far below
zero. As he brought the fish up
through the ce. they froze in
stantly. He took them to his cabin ana,
thawed them in cold water, and
they CAME BACK TO LIFE.
THAT started htm to thinking, and
out of his thinking came this
new proces 1 of food preservation
Every Important development In the
world's history, you know, came
about because something started
somebody to thinking.
H
ERE Is ftometiiing else that i
Interesting
Thene frozen foods, it Is expected.

Decree Under Law An
nouncement Is Surprise
WASHINGTON, May 4. (AP) In
formed of the sentence in the Massle
case and Its prompt commutation to
one hour. Senator McKellor (D.,
Tenn.) said today It was "a confes
sion that they didn't get a fair trial
and that the conviction was improper
and that they ought to have been ac
quitted." "They ought not to have been
made to serve even one hour," Mc
Kellar told newspaper men, "and the
stigma that attaches to that sen
tence ought to be removed In some
way."
HONOLULU, May 4. yp) In & sur
prise move, the four Americans con
victed of manslaughter last Friday in
the slaying of Joseph Kahahawai, as
serted attacker of Mrs. Thomas H.
Massle, were each sentenced today to
10 years imprisonment at hard labor
In Oahu prison here.
Announcement was made by Prose
cutor John C. Kelley. however, that
Governor Lawrence M. Judd had
agreed to commute the sentences to
one hour imprisonment?. -
Under the law. Circuit Judge Char
les S. Davis was forced to give the
maximum sentence of 10 years on the
verdict of guilty of manslaughter ren
dered Friday by a racially mixed Jury.
The original charge was second de
gree murder.
It had been expected the defend
ants. Lieutenant Massle, Mrs. Gran
ville Fortc'scue, mother of Mrs. Mas
sie, and the two enlisted navy men,
E. J, Lord and Albert O. Jones, would
appear for sentence Friday.
The action today followed a sen
sational two-week trial in which Mrs.
Massle testified she had been crim
inally attacked by Kahahawai and
four other men. September 12, after
being severely beaten.
Her husband, taking the stand n
his own defense, told of Kahahawai
having been kidnaped from in front
of the Judiciary building In Honolulu
January 8. and conveyed in an auto
mobile to the home of Mrs. Fortcscue.
There, said Massle, he had con
fronted the Hawaiian with a revolver,
and called upon him to confess.
When Kahahawai said "We done
It," Massle testified, his mind went
blank, and his next recollection was
when he was being taken to Jail
after Kahahawai 's body with a bullet
hole through the breast, was found
in an automobile.

ON BOARD CAPONE TRAIN, At ,
Danville, 111., En route to Atlanta, j
May 4. (AP) Al Capone. dlslllu-1
sloncd and dejected gang chief, ap
proached federal penitentiary at At
lanta, Oa., today with the assertion
he was "through with the rackets."
Tonight he will start serving an ,
I eleven year sentence for evading ln-
come taxes and Capone, giving up
hope at last, said there was ''nothing
j to do but make the best of It."
i Aa his train cut down toward the
; southland, the gangster Jested and
kept up a rapid fire conversation
with guards, but did not try to hide
his disappointment.
"How would you feel if you had j
eleven years staring you in the face?"
he parried when newspapermen ques
tioned him.
Still "Big Hoss"
Although his long exile has been
expected to rob him of his rule over
Chicago's underworld, it was still
Capone the big boss of gangland that
was being taken tq, prison.
At every stop from Chicago to At
lanta provisions were made for local
police or railroad detectives to watch
the train from the outside while nine
guards kept vigil InMdo his car.
United States Marshal H. G. W.
Laubcnhelmer took charge of the
party himself with the assertion his
main object in life right now was to
get Capone off his hands.
It was not a special car bearing Ca
pone to prison but It amounted al
most to that since it was occupied
only by Capone, one othor prisoner,
the guards and newspapermen.
May Shorten Slay
With time off for good behavior
Capone can cut down his sentence
to about seven and one-half years.
When he gets out. he said, he Intends
to "stay out of politics and all the
other racketa." If he had any plana
for the future he failed to reveal
them.
A few minutes later, however, he
indicated he had not lost all Interest
