smoldering cargo of coal from
one of the holds of the Orizaba,
a freighter bound for the Orient
with 8600 tons of coal.

from Portland Monday for
Korea.

Wednesday, coming from the
ships smoke detecting system,
when the ship was some 490
miles at sea.
Capt. A. L. Ingenitao, Brook
lyn, N. Y., said the fire was start
ed by spontaneous combustion
in the forward No. 2 hatch.
The ship reached, port here
Friday afternoon. Fireboats stood
by while the hatch was opened
in fear the fire would break out
in force when sufficient oxygen
reached the cargo.

er however, and hatches were
closed until yesterday morning
when plans were made to re
move the burning coal into steel
freight cars.
The 403-foot ship will then re
load additional coal and continue
the journey to the Far East.

WHAT'S GOING ON HERE? This bovine delegate, on
rather unsteady legs, is thoroughly confused by state's
delegates section of San Francisco's Cow Palace. Cattle
breeder John Lapachett took the "youngster" for a stroll
through the arena where, perhaps, papa bull clobbered
many a cowboy. She'll have something to moo to her
"grandchildren" about
Commission Orders
Work on Zoo Road-
Portland (U.R) The State
Highway commission Friday
pledged to start work on a $400,
000 access route to the new Port
land zoo next year.
A delegation from the zoo
commission and park depart
ment urged that a cloverleaf
and overpass approach to the
zoo be completed before any
general reconstruction of Can
yon road is undertaken.
The commission, after hearing
arguments and the need for the
overpass, directed W. C. Wil
liams, state highway engineer,
to shove the project ahead so
construction can be done next
year.
Harry Buckley, city parks su
perintendent, told the commis
sion that when the new zoo, mu
seum and golf course are opened
next year at least 5,000 cars a
day will be added to traffic on
Canyon road which now carries
22,000 he said.

Persons Indicted
By Multnomah Jury
Appear in Court
Portland (U.R) Most of
the persons indicted by the Mult
nomah county grand jury in its
recent probe into vice and cor
corruption in the city appeared
in court Friday.
Most of those appearing did
not enter pleas but rather enter
ed motions or demurrers or ob
tained further setovers
Police Chief Jim Purcell Jr.
entered a plea of not guilty to
charges of malfeasance in office.
Another not guilty plea was
made by Thomas Johnson who
had been charged with conspir
acy in the selection of an Exposition-Recreation
center site.
Also pleading not guilty was Da-
,vld L. Nancy who w Indicted
on a perjury charge.
District Attorney William M.
Langley filed a motion to set
aside the two indictments re
turned against him charging
malfeasance in office and con
spiracy to open the city to gamb
ling. His motion charged that
the indictments did not bear the
indorsements of the private pros
ecutors and that the names of
witnesses were omitted. He also
charged that a bill of indictment
was not presented to the grand
jury until after that body heard
the evidence contrary to law.
Attorneys for one of the eight
city policemen indicted, Nor
man Reiter, moved to set aside
the complaint. Demurrers were
entered for the other seven po
lice officers.
Attorneys for James B. Elkins
moved for dismissal of wire tap
ping charges against the night
life figure and entered demur
rers to a dozen other charges.
