welcome to the Town of Salem

Salem, Ore, May 22.-Salem pre-
scented a gala appearance Thursday
morning, when President Roosevelt
and party arrived. Three brass bands
greeted the president as he appeared
upon the rear platform of his ar,

cheers from thousands of people.
The president was met by Gov. Cham
berlaln, George C. Brownell, presi-
lent Of the senate; L. T. Harris,
speaker OF the house; Mayor C.. P.
bishop, and a citizens committee.
After exchanging greetings, the par
ty was escorted to carriages, a local
military company acting as guard of
honor. The president was greeted
along the line OF march by cheering
crowds. The procession stopped at
Marion square, where 1000 school
children were assembled. The presi-
dent delivered a few words of greet
ing and encouragement to the chill
dren, who responded by singing
America" The president joined
heartily in the chorus. The party. was
then driven to the capitol. where the
president was escorted through a
double line of Grand Army veterans,
with all of whom he shook hands and
exchanged a few words.
Some moments were spent in the
governors suite, meeting and con.
versing with state officials and other
prominent citizens, after which the
president passed out the west 'en'
trance, where from an deliberately
decorated platform the president de
livered a Commute address. At the

dent was driven to the train again

Postmaster General Criticises Subor.
dinate for Big Deficit in Free
Delivery Service.
AMOUNTS TO THE SUM OF 1927, 467.
to BE Asked Mt It's Next Ses-
si~n to Make Appropriations to
Cover the ShOrtage-General Su-
perintendent Mnchen ON Indefinite
Leave of Absence.

Washington, May 22.-Congress will
be asked at the opening of it's next
session to make an appropriation to
cover deficiencies in both the regu-
lar free delivery and the rural free
delivery service of the post office de-
partment. Postmaster General
Payne Thursday announced that this
deficiency now aggregates exactly
$227,467, of which $1O5, 900 is in the
free delivery branch, and $121,6OO
in the rural free delivery service.
The postmaster general said he very
much regretted the existence of the
deficit, and for the first time public
ly criticised the administration of A.
w. Machen, the general s~uperintend-
emit of the free delivery system, who
is out ON indefinite leave of alb
ence.
"This is not the first time that a
deficiency has occurred in the free
delivery SERVICE" said Mr.. Payne,
"but I regret its existence. At the
opening of the last congress Mr..
Machen pointed out that without adj
ditional appropriations no more
routes could be established beyond
those ready to be installed January
1. He said, however, if congress ap-
propriated $500, 600 for the purpose,
the work could be continued during
the rest of the fiscal year. This ap-
preparation was promptly made, but
it was exhausted. Despite this fact,
the office (the free delivery office.
was going on increasing the def
cheney, and if he had not taken steps
to curtail the expenditures and sus-
pend the establishment of routes I'M
til the beginning of the next fiscal
year, the deficit would have been
much larger. 1t was not good adj
m~inistration.'
Continuing, the postmaster general
said that part of the deficiency was
discovered before Mr.. Machen was
given his leave of absence.

five barrels of hydro-carbon in the
New York Central railroad yards at
One Hundred and Fifty-sixth street

walls of n OF two minutes, and were
heard all over the Bronx. The oil
tank which exploded was located op-
posite One Hundred and Fifty-ffth
street. In it the gas was made with

The tank was about 40 feet in di-
ameter. 80 feet high, and contained
nearly 100000 gallons of oil. The
fire shot 100 feet into the air. An
adjacent building used as a factory
vas totally destroyed, as well as a
repair shop near by, which was 80 by
60 feet in size. The fremen saved

San Francisco, May 22.-The COM
mercial community here was startled
Wednesday by the information re-
ceived from Chicago that the Porter

out in this city, was forced by the de-
mands of bankers on the firm at a time
when a good part of it's funds are in
the hands Of fruit growers. The re-
