on
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS.
OFFICES of three cemeteries In
Portland are broken Into on the
night of May 30, the robbers evi
dently expecting that considerable
money would be paid In on Memo-
rial Day.
Stealing money paid by sorrowing
relatives to Insure a laat quiet rest
ing place for departed loved ones
Is sinking pretty low, Isn't It?
STILL, don't let yourself say: "See
what this wicked world Is coming
to," meaning that the people of this
present age are WORSE than the
people of preceding ages.
Grave robbing was a flourishing
industry before the dawn pf history,
as high school and college graduates
who are receiving their diplomas
this week can tell you.
They can tell you also that there
are few crimes today that aren't
matched by equal or worse crimes
thousands of years ago.
We talk a lot about "crime waves"
In this modern day, but crime Is no
new thing in the world.
Up IN Baker county, a new storage
dam for Irrigation water has
Just been completed. It Is known
as the Thief Valley dam.
Thief Valley take it name from
the hanging, back In the sixties, of
a notorious horse thief who was
given also to the practice of robbing
stages laden with gold from the
mines.
It was his weakness for other
people's horses, however, that brought
him to the end of a rope, thrown
casually over the limb of a tree.
for In those early days stealing a
horse, which represented transports'
tlon, was the unforgivable crime.
npiTE automobile, also representing
transportation, Is the modern
counterpart of the horse, and auto
mobile stealing Is as common as
horse stealing ever wis possibly be
cause automobiles are more numer
ous now than horses were In the
early days of the great West,
We don't hang automobile thieves
at the end of a rope thrown over
a limb by Indignant citizens. When
we find that our car la stolen, we
call up the insurance company and
tell It to get busy.
Time works great changes.
STAKING. It by 'and large, automo-
bile stealing isn't very severely
punir.hed because, perhaps, com
paratively few automobile thieves
are caught. Unprincipled people go
on stealing automobiles.
"So, you may say, "here la a case
of cause and effect. Because punish
ment isn't positive and severe, auto
mobile stealing flourishes."
THAT sounds logical. But wait.
Back In the days of the vlgl
lantes, when horse thieves were run
down and strung up to the limb of
the nearest tree, wicked people STILL
STOLE HORSES.
If every person who commits a
crime were caught promptly and
punished without delay, there would
be less law-breaking. There can be
no doubt about that.
But there would still be crime.
n EFORB we can reach the point
where there will be no crime
we must first reach the point where
nobody WANTS TO COMMIT a crime,
That will take a long time and will
require a lot of Improvement In hu
man beings.
PETITION8 are in circulation for
an initiative bill to remove the
University of Oregon from Eugene
and consolidate It with the agri
cultural college at Corvallls. This
program la referred to by It backers
as an economy measure.
It doesn't seem so to thle writer.
F THE university la removed from
Its present location, some four

CORONER REFUTES
EIGHT'S CLAIM
I DAW CASE
Eagle Point Men, Present at
Still Raid, Given Oppor
tunity to Testify at In
quest, Is Statement
I. W. Conger, coroner, yesterday
issued a sworn statement, refuting
the charge that at the coroner's In
quest into the death of Everett Da-1
hack, Albert Ooetjen and Ted Smith j
were not given an opportunity to tes
tify. The two and Raleigh Mathews,
all residents of Eagle Point district,
were at the time held for liquor vio
lations. Smith and Ooetjen were in
the county Jail, and Mathews was at
liberty on bonds. Mathews did not
appear at the Inquest, but Smith and
Goetjen, according to Coroner Cong
er, when brought from the county
Jail, refused to testify on advice of
counsel.
Th: coroner's sworn statement is
. follows:
"It seems that the Dahack case
has finally become a political Issue
and has settled more or less on the
question as to whether or not a cer
tain three persona were called before
the coroner's Inquest.
"Some who seem to know more
about the facts than I do, say none
of these three were present at the In
quisition, i would therefore suomit
the following affidavit:
"I, H. W. Conger, coroner of Jack
son county, Oregon, being first duly
sworn on oath, depose and say, that
a certain inquest helt on the 15th
day of November, 1930 at my place
of business in Medford, Oregon to In
vestigate the killing of Everett Da
hack, that I, at the request of George
Codding, district attorney, caused
Sheriff Jennings to have present at
said Inquest for the purpose of tes
tifying, Albert Ooetjen and Ted
Smith.
"That for some good reason which
I do not recall Raleigh Mathews wss
not present. That at said Inquest At
torney E. E. Kelly representing Ooet
jen and Smith, refused to allow them
to testify when called upon.
"That other than Raleigh Mathews.
I had present every witness of whom
I had any knowledge who might
know anything of value In the in
vestigation. "That after all witnesses had been
examined and the Jurors given the
opportunity to ask additional ques
tions of each witness, i call was made
to the large audience present for ad
ditional evidence that any might
have to present and none responded.
"That not one single item in the
whole affair was covered up or sup
pressed and the entire Inquest was
open and above board so far as I
have any knowledge. That I am mak
ing this affidavit voluntarily and
without solicitation.

the thousands of world war veterans
marching on Washington to demand
immediate cash payment on their bo
nus. Press and private report reaching
Brigadier General Glass ford, super in
tendent of police, indicated today
that more than 6000 now are en route

Glaasford said the new arrivals
would be taken to Anacostla park,

Police estimate that between 1000
and 1500 former soldiers are now
here. More than 600 are billeted In
two vacant buildings.
Efforts to learn how the movement
started have been unsuccessful. Glass-

Is Laid Before Congress
WASHINGTON. June 2. (AP) An
administration relief program was
put before congress today while two
cabinet members were assailing the
public works phases of Democratic
measures before senate and house
committees.
Representative Hawley (R., Ore.)
introduced the administration meas
ures w.hlch he said were drafted
along the lines suggested by the pres
ident In his speech to the senate a
few days ago.
At about the aame time, the pro
gram was being explained to the sen
ate banking committee by Secretary
Mills during his attack upon the
proposed bond issue for public works
carried by the Democratic program.
Calls for State Loans
The administration program called
for $300,000,000 for relief loans to
states and 1.500 ,000 more borrowing
power for the reconstruction corpo
ration for loans on self liquidating
projects.
The treasury head said Vie Demo
cratic proposal for a bond issue would
"unbalance" the budget.
Both he and Secretary Hurley, who
was appearing at the same time be
fore the house ways and means com
mittee in opposition to a bond issue
for public works, said the huge ex
penditures would give comparatively
little ai to employment.
Hurley said he was "unalterably
opposed" to the section of the Demo
cratic bill providing 100,000.000 for
direct relief to the distressed.

The possibility of developing the
proposed Intercoastal steamship serv
ice for northwest pears and apples
during tha coming shipping season
formed the principal topic of discus-
eston at the regular noon luncheon
of the Rogue River Valley Traffic
association today, with Gordon R.
Green, who represents this district
on the general committee In charge
of thla matter, rendering a report of
the recent meeting held In Portland
The only definite proposal submit
ted to the general meeting, accord-
Ing to Mr. Green, was for the instal
lation of the steamship service from
northwest porta, Seattle, Everett and
Portland, to eastern seaboard points,
Including Philadelphia, New York,
Boston, Baltimore and Norfolk, at
rates far below those, now charged
by rail carriers, but on a basis of a
five-year guarantee of approximately
0 per cent of the total northwest
tonnage.
After a thorough discussion of the
proposal by the local shippers at the
meeting today, It was developed that
the Medford shippers would favor the
Inauguration of the proposed steam
ship service, but would not be In fa
vor of a five-year guarantee of ton
nage. It was pointed out that con
ditions cannot be forecast that far
In advance, and the entire setup of
transportation rates might be entire

It was stated that the local shippers
would be agreeable to any proposal
which might meet with the approval
of the other northwestern districts,
with the exception of the five-year
clause.
Today marking the end of the fiscal
year of the traffic association, offi
