Because of siter atl:n that have slightly reduced ac J commodatlons In the dining hall. admission to the party this year will be by Invitation strictly and each child must have his ticket to present at the door, It was explained by William A. Gates. As In past years, there will be two servings to accommodate the large crowd. The first dinner wiu be served at 13 noon and the sec ond a little after 1 o'clock. As be fere members of the American Le gion auxiliary will do the serving, having again volunteered their serv ices. "Grown-ups seem to get as much enjoyment out of the banquet as the children, for each year the same ones volunteer to help in the serv Ice," Mr. Gates said. He expressed his gratitude for the offers of help. There will be two Innovations this year. One Is that a Girl Scout troop will entertain the youngsters as they ; wait In the lodge room on the sec ; ond floor of the Elks temple to be called to dinner. The other Is that : the children' will be entertained dur- tng the banquet by Instrumentalists ! from the Medford high school, ar- , rangementa having been made for this feature by F. Wilson Walt, di rector of the high school band. It Is only through the generosity of the Elks lodge in offering use of : Its temple that the big annual party Is possible, Mr. Gates stated In ex pressing his gratefulness to the fra : ternlty. j As In past years children from ! outlying districts will be convoyed ; from and to their homes by county j school busses. i It Is not necessary for parents to ! get In touch with anyone for Invl . tatlons as the Red Cross Is making , oil necessary arrangements through 1 the schools and other agencies.

After the collapse of hla fortunes 35 years ago and his trouble with the police, he" vanished from sight. A witness at Atty. Gen. John J. Ben nett. Jr.'s Investigation today testl fled he knew htm In World war days aa "William Johnson." an Investiga tor for the attorney general's office specializing In espionage activities. It was a far different man from either the Philip Muslca of the old Eaat Side, struggling for a fortune, or the Muslca of prison days at Auburn, who appeared on the finan cial scene little more than a dozen years ago .as a "doctor of philosophy" and a "doctor of medicine" from Heidelberg university. And still different from the man. who beaten at lsst In his 81 years of good living, finding himself ap parently no longer young enough to try again for a spectacular career, fired a pistol Into hla right ear and dropped to the bathroom of his home in Fairfield. Backed by Bankers The spectacular career of Coster Mustca and his apparent Integrity were so Impressive that In 1926 a group of Connecticut bankers backed him with a million dollars when he expressed the desire to acquire the assets except real estate of McKesson and Bobbins. He had Impressed everybody with whom he had come in contact. At the Bankers club In New York City he had associated with man to whom the name of Muslca a man who had cost hundreds of thousands of dollars losses to bankswould have been anathema. Btit they knew Coster as the member of exclusive clubs. In which he was regarded as a man of cultured background; knew him not aa a Neapolitan turned American financier but aa a native of Washington, D. C. Two days ago the firm's treasurer. Julian F. Thompson, whose suspi cions had led him to Investigate pri vately the financial affairs of the crude drugs department, said he was simply staggered and astounded," but still he could see no motive for the shortage. In 1028, he recalled, Coster had manipulated the merger of the old McKesson and Robblns firm with seventeen other wholesale drug nouses in the country. Dominating Force He had been the corporation's dom inating force. He was persuasive, a man of the world, a great financier, executive and organizer. In 1929, Thompson further recalled, the firm had done a sales business of $140, 000,000. But in all the years since he at tained his new high standing In the financial world. Coster Muslca thought be had carefully hidden hla past away. He had declined to pose for photo graphs for trade publications and had led a fairly secluded life for. a big business executive. And, atrangely, he had not attended McKesson and Robblns meeUngs. If the other offi cers of the corporation remarked that, they said nothing for to them he waa a man beyond reproach. So it waa news to most of tbem when Thompson revealed a little of what he had discovered that there waa a possibility the five Canadian warehouses where crude drug supplies supposedly were stored, did not exist; and that W. W. Smith and Co., Eng-1 lt&h agent for the firm, had been 1 receiving $150,000 a year In commis sions for sales which apparently were never made. In Whol Who Most of the papers relating to the crude drugs department, were In the hands of Coster-Muslca or Dietrich, and unavailable to Thompson. And while checks were paid to the Smith concern from the corporation' gen eral fund, the cancelled checks al ways went to Dietrich and not to Thompson. The elaborate deceit which Coster Muslca had Imposed on the corpora tion had extended to "Whoa Who In America" where he had appeared as the man of Heidelberg, seven years younger than he actually waa. Vernard, taken Into custody today at hla home in Brooklyn, waa four teen years younger. He had acted as Canadian agent for the firm and was rfupposed to know all about the five big warehouses which, Asst. Atty Gen. Joseph F. Rugglerl learned this week, did not exist. They were merely mailing addresses. Vernard -Muslca did not rata Who's Who. That publication's publisher. A. M Marquis, explainM in Chicago, rela tive to Coster, that they took it for granted "a man elected president of an $87,000,000 concern la a man of good reputation and standing m his community." a ! Two Important decorative features not yet In place are the fl auk tng sculptures of pioneer covered wagons for the steps In front of the building. The stones are being rough-hewn In the east, and will be shipped to Salem some time this winter or In the spring. After their arrival screens will be placed around them and they will be finished after being mounted in their respective places. Special lamp standards wlU be ; mounted in the rotunda to cast light ' upward against the murals there. 1 Overhead lights, specially built Into the celling, will remove any glare and give perfect lighting effects at all times. Special lights have already been In stalled over the mural panels In the legislative chambers. Other decorative work stilt to be ftntshed centers mostly on landscap ing. George Ohten. landscape archi tect for the state highway commis sion who has been lent to the capltol r-rcon struct ion commission has de signed the lawns and shrubbery. The lawns are planned to last 200 years, as Is common In England, Ohten said Main feature of the landscaping will be the block-long sunken garden In front of the capltol. Ohten said the sunken garden, of formal design, was adopted to give an added appear ance of height to the new building. All shrubbery will be of the dwarf, or formal variety to harmonize with the severe lines of the building. Where the Finer Gifts Are to Be Found And Where the Price I Always A Little Lower! JNO. W.
