FLOUR SHIPMENT IS
HELD UP BY SEALER
California Officials Notified Of
Shortage In Weight Of
Salem Flour

In correction of a San Francisco dis
patch which appeared in the Oregon
newspapers yesterday in regard to
shipment of $50 sacks of flour which
were sent out by tile Cherry City
Fulor Mills of Salem, Deputy State
Sealers of Weights and Measures Fred
G. Buchtel said today that the short
age in weights was discovered in Sa'
lem and that the Salem office notified
the San Francisco sealer to hold up
the shipment when it arrived on the
steamer Great Northern.
Sixty sicks of flour sent out by the
Cnerry City Mills were consigned to
Portland and these have been shipped
back to the mills for resacking. The
other shipment was sent from Port
land before it could be stopped and ali
information was collected and sent out
by the Oregon state sealer. 1t appears
that District Sealer J. +. Jones weighed
a carload of flour and found that the
sacks were short of the required 40
pounds net weight The manager of
the Cherry City mills was absent from
this city at the time but through an
error the shipment went forward. 1t
was found at that time that the scales
at the flour mill were off a few ounces
on the sack at this particular shipment
had been packed before the scales were
adjusted and corrected.
81 am not of the opinion tnat the
Cherry City Mills deliberately gave
short weight and know that the error
in their scales was not discovered until
after the flour had been packed, "
said Mr.. Buchtel this morning, "and
the shipment was made during the alb
sence of the manager of the MILL"
the Oregon law requires that all
packages containing food stuffs must
be stamped on the outside with the
net weight of the package regardless
Of the weight of the container and a
flour sack is required to contain 40
pounds of flour under the Oregon law.
The shipment of $50 sacks is being
resacked in San Francisco under the
direction of the state sealer in that
city.

Bridge Work Delayed
By Death In Family

Because of the beroavemcnt that
befell Judge Teal on Welneslty night
last, when his wife dial quite sud
denly at her home in Falls City, the
county court postponed its meeting
from Friday afternoon until today.

of securing plans and specifications
for q concrete bridge across the Will
lamette river at Salem, the same to
be submitted for bids with those for
the steel structure, which have been
approved by the viewers and the Ma
rion county court. 1t is probable that
the court will make this recommends
tion to the Marion court, in which
case there will probably be a fort
nights delay in advertising for bids
for the bridge. Commissioners Wells
and Beckett met at the court house
Friday morning, and while no session
was held they were waited upon by
citizens committee from mass
meeting held the previous night and
requested to delay action in accepting
the plans and specifications for the
proposed steel bridge until such time
as plans and specifications could be
secured for a bridge of the other type
mentioned. which request was ac,
quiesced in by these officials Both
commissioners, as well as Judge Teal,
favor the concrete type of construc-
tiOn, provided a substantial founda-
tion can be had and the additional
cost is not excessixe. 1t is deemed
advisable to plan the concrete bridge
for Court instead of Center street.
In discussing the bridge question,
Commissioner Wells told The Observer
that he was strongly in favor of
securing plans for a high level con.
crete bridge, and placing both prop.

Boy Murderer Said To Be
Deficient Mentally

Seattle, Wash, April 26-Juvenile
diagnOsticians, after studying Joe
Burke, 12 year old man slayer, declare
his mind cannot differentiate between
rignt and wrong. They say that he is
otherwise, mentally and physically nor
nal.
The lad will be held for observa-
tion in the juvenile department for the
next few weeks, and viii probably be
placed in some state institution for
corrections, but not in a penitentilry.
DR.. Lilburn Merrill, chief diagnostic-
ian, found that Joe had n passion for

unsafe to let him assume social re-

wrong.
Joe masked himself Sunday evening
and shot and killed Frank Bealer, a
