Corrupt, Who Was to Die in
Sing Sing To-day, Gets
Stay Until Saturday

For the second time within a year, a
messenger last night halted the death
watch prayers Of man in Sing Sing
bringing stay TO the sentence that
was to be executed at dawn.
Peterus Van der Corput, a Hollander,
was on his knees before Father Cashin
in the death house last night. making
his last confession before he paid for
the murder Of Barbara Wright, his
sweetheart. It seemed to him and to
prison officials. who were making ready
the chair. that all hope was over. He
had appealed to Governor Whitman;
the Minister from the Netherlands,
Chevalier ". L. Van kappard. had APP
pealed; the Humanitarian Cult had ap-
pealed. All had been turned down.
Two other men Frank Ferrara,
driver Of the Baf murder car, and An
tonic Impoluzo. an Italian gunman =
had been named to die with Van der
Corrupt. Both had been reprieved.

sage came that Supreme Court justice
Erlanger had granted stay at the IN
stance of the Humanitarian Cult. At
worst he had until II on Saturday
morning to live. At best he would eX-
change the short journey down the
corridor and through the green door,
for life Imprisonment in an insane

The Cult had pursued the tactics so

that Van der Corrupt was insane, to
Governor Whitman. When ne refused
to interfere. they had turned TO Su,

a stay.
To-day ahenists Will visit Sing Sing
and examine Van der Corrupt. The
District Attorneys office will also be
called upon TO show cause why new
trial should not be granted. If both
these efforts fail. the condemned man

The Salem Ferry and
the Implanted Bridge

For the benefit of those who have
not forgotten all about the Salem ferry
troubles and how the city came very
near getting into a law suit with Bush
nell & Skinner, it may be said, first
that the ferry in question is resting
peacefully on the river at the foot of
Trade street. Also that about the time
the trouble about the right price was
passed up to Judge Kelley and Judge
Belt it become necessary for Judge
Belt to go to Portland to hold court
and he is still there. Hence there has
been no compromise as to what the
two old barges are worth. If the two
judges cannot decide on a price, they
are empowered to call in another judge.
1t has been said that the mills of the
Gods grind slowly and sometimes in
legal matters and compromise suits,
the mills on earth also 90 slow but
sure. Nor has there been anything
definite about planking the railroad
bridge. Just at present it looks very
much as though if the bridge is
planked, there will be no need of the
ferry and if it is not, two or three
ferries would not accommodate the
business across the river for the next
six months.

BRIDGE AGREEMENT
HAS been APPROVED
Advertisements For Bids
Made---Work May Be Be-
gun in Near Future

1t is a long lane that has no turn.
Today the legal agreement between
Polk and Marion county in regard to
the building of a bridge across the
Willamette has been approved and ad-
vertisements will notify contractors to
bid ON the bridge, according to plans
and specifications drawn by the state
highway department.
According to the new law, the ad-
vertisement for bids will run 20 days,
the last issue being July 7. There
seems to be an impression among those
who are familiar with the iron situa-
ton that after the contract has been
awarded, materials can be laid ON the
ground within six months.
Anyhow, as soon as the contract is
awarded, excavations for the piers
will begin and the average person who
has waited and longed for a new
bridge should feel greatly encouraged.
After the awarding of the contract it
is variously estimated that at least
within year or eighteen months the
new bridge will be a reality and not
dream.

Own Bonds, and Many

Liberty bonds to the amount of
$2l5,350 were subscribed by the citi.
zens of Salem during the four days
campaign put on by the liberty bond
committee, of which David w. Eyre is
chairman.
And not only was this large amount
subscribed within the required time, but
the people are still coming in with mon
ey, willing to do their share in financ-
ing the biggest enterprise ever under
taken by the American government.
Everybody got in and the soliciting
committee was received as welcome Wis
itors. The boy scouts did their share.
The man and woman who has but a
small income was ready for the COM
mittee. The smallest subscription was
a $50 bond and the largest, $4,000
worth of bonds. This man is a farmer,
A business man bought $4,000 worth.
The pessimist who thought Salem
would be too slow to get in by today
noon was found to be a bad auesser.
Some thought about 100000 was the
limit of Salem. But the average man
and woman responded willingly and
gladly.
And while the older folks were plac-
ing their names to application blanks,
the children were not far behind. Many
a boy and girl in Salem is now the own

it was in many cases their own money.

Salem Farmer Bought
Largest BOnd--$1O,OO0

This is the story of the largest sub
seription of any individual in Salem to
the liberty bonds. A farmer living near
the city had just sold farm in Ne
braska and was in receipt of demand
certificate from the Nebraska bank for
an even $4,000.
The farmer had no special use for the
money and thought it might as well
rest in Nebraska as any other place.
But David W. Eyre, chairmin of the
committee soliciting purchasers for lib
erty bonds thought of much better
place for that ten thousand and sug-
gested to the farmer that it might be
fine thing to invest in liberty bond
and at the same time let the sum be
drawing interest to the extent of 31a
per cent. The farmer thought about
the same way about it and now the Ne
braska bank is short that $4,000 and
the salem farmer has the satisfaction
of doing patriotic act and the same
time having his ready money drawing

England Watching
Americas Course On
Food Control Matter
By Lowell Mellett

Omitted Press staff correspondent
London, June l5--England is follow
ing the American senate debate on the
food bill with intense interest. Tho
allies are admittedly anxious as to Am
erica S position in the food problem of
the world. That anxiety is reflected
daily in British newspapers. The Mail
and Post today, for instance, empha-
size the vital Importance of early con-
gressional action so that the allies may
know just how far they can depend
on America Is assistance and thus be
able to frame their own policies accord
ingly.
Allan Anderson, chairman of the al
lied wheat executive board, who accom-
panied the Balfour mission to the Unit-
ed States, thus summed up the situa-
tion today for the United Press:
g met many members of the Amer
lean grain trade and believe they fui-
ly realize the allies great and urgent
need. ] was assured everywhere that pri
vate speculation was no longer attract
i've and that all desire to meet the
crisis with the least possible disturb
ance to trade machinery. But how and
when the problem of food control in
the United States is TO be settled, il
still obscure.
