Think Sinking of American
Ships Should Be
Pleasing to Us
-
By John Grandens.
(United Press staff correspondent.)
Berlin, Mar. 24. Germany cannot see
why America should regard the sinking
of the tanker Healdton by a German
submarine as an "overt act."
Public opinion today agreed with this
expression in view of the newspaper Bz
Mi'ttag, although admitting the pos
sibility that American sentiment against
uermany would be increased by destruc
tion of tho Healdton.
"Tho sinking of the Americn stern
er Hcldton possibly will aggravate Am
erican press pressure on President Wil
son," the editorial declared, "and the
entente press will doubtless assert this
i an 'overt act.' Hut emiuir,,;,,
sinking ns a reason for wnr would prove
mm America is vtniuiiy seeking such
an oocasion.
"It was unnecessary that (he Heald
ton traverse the blockade area. The
vessel could have chosen the open way
used by Holland-American steamers."
According to stories told bv survivors
of the Healdton, that steamer was ac
tually in the safety path announced ISy
Germany in her burred zone when she
was the victim of an unwarned attack
by a German submarine. United Press
dispatches received from London yes
terday quoted survivors as saying they
expected Germany to make just such a
denial that the Healdton was in the
safety zone ns the Bz Mittag makes
in tho above editorial. But all the
crew were positive the Healdton was
in the lnno in which ships were sup
posed to be immune from attack.

OFFER TOSELL FERRY
Place Value On Scows Equip
ment and Expenses In
curred at $5,503.80
The conference yesterday at the
Commercial club between Skinner &
Bushnell and the committee represent
ing the city, Fred W. Steusloff, Dan J.
Fry and F. G. Deckebach, wherein
Skinner & Bushnell presented a list of
the actual expenses of preparing the
two barges for the ferry service, re
sulted in a disagreement. The commit
tee thought the figures submitted were
so far beyond what they had expected,
that it would be useless to present thein
to the county court.
The Salem Ferry company had been
asked to submit to the city the actual
expenses incurred in preparing their
barges, and a fair allowance for their
time. Their figures were that they
should be paid $5,503.80 for the two
barges, cable, work on the barges and
the salaries for Skinner & Bushnell,
figured at five dollars a day for each.
This amount included the 25 per cent
they were to add for selling out to the
city. The expenses for everything in
curred on the two barges amounted to
$4,403.04.
The proposition of Skinner & Bushnell
was submitted to County Roadmaster
also of Corvallis, and City Superintend
ent of Schools Todd to be -present. Dr.
Holmes will leave for California this
evening on the Shasta Limited.
In the matter of th application of
the Oregon and California railroad and
the Southern Pacific for permission to
construct a track across "A" street in
the city of Canby, Clackamas county,
at grade, the public service commission,
after hearing the need for the crosisng,
has granted the desired permission.
The death claim of the widow- of
Charles E. Panek of Oregon City, who
was kined by a fall from the upper
deck of a boat in process of construc
tion on February 9, 1917, was an
nounced this morning by the industrial
accident commission. Panek fell, 2S
feet to a floating pile driver and struck
on his head. He died instantly. The
total amount set aside for her and the
four children is $13,439.60, of which
$100 goes for funeral expenses. The
widow will receive a monthly payment
of $30, and if she lives out her ex
pectancy, which is 25 years, six months,
she will receive $10,261; the 8-year eld
boy has an expecfancy of sevien years
and ten months and will receive $2 a
month during that time; the other
three children whose expectancy runs
from nine to 13 years, will receive $6
a month, each.

You will be proud of your Maxwell. You will know
that it compares favorably with your neighbor's car.
Your family will be delighted with the unusual comfort.
The car will give you the service you want over all roads.
And you own such a car without wasting one penny of
your money. In first cost and in upkeep the Maxwell
offers economy that is amazing. Figure it up" for
yourself.
REDUCED price but with four new improvements.
It's a better more satisfactory Maxwell for a lower
price. The new advantages are: Overlapping Wind
shield, Larger and More Comfortable Seats, Longer
Rear Springs and a New Dash Lamp and Gasoline
Gauge. Add these to the Electric Starter and other
regular features of equipment and you must admit the
Maxwell is the World's Greatest Motor Car Value.
Culver and the county court, and this
evening the county court will submit
what it thinks is a fair figure for tho
barges and the time put in by Skinner
& Bushnell-
Objection v-as made by the committee
to the item of $1,200 for the two barges
as it had information that the barges
had been for sale for several months at
$250 each and that this was probably
the price they were worth rather than
$000 each.
The committee could not see why $120
attorneys fees should be considered part
of the coat of the barges and also the
item of $327.25 for labor looked too
large. There was no objection to pay
ing to Skinnnr & Busnnell $610 salary
for two months they claimed to have
worked on the two barges. And $178
traveling expenses looked pretty big toj
the committee aiter allowing $blu in
salary for tho 60 days they claimed to
have worked.
The proposition of Skinner & Bushnell
which they claimed to be their actual
outlay in preparing to put in a ferry at
Salem is as follows:
."In accordance with the agreement
entered into with a committee of your
citizens and the honorable mayor of
your city with the Salem Ferry company
yesterday, we beg to submit the follow
ing proposition based upon our actual
