In Means Murder TriaI

Concord, N. c., Nov. 30.--Dr. William
III. Burmeister of Chicago, important
state witness, was on the stand TO,
further cross-examination when the
CASTOR B. Means murder trial was re-
sumed today.
DR.. Burmeister testified it would
have been impossible for Mrs. Maude A
King to have shot herself as Means
claimed.
He produced exhibits showing that
on the dead human body powder grains
from a pistol shot of the kind that
killed Mrs. King will be imbedded at
distance of six inches. Hair will be
singed at from two to four inches, he
said.
DR.. Burmeister, Chicago, and DR.. OF
to M. Schultze, New York pathologist,
concluded their evidence today,
strengthening their direct examinations.
A. Leonard johnson, secretary of the

Budget Will Be Discussed
Before Council Tonight

The meeting of the city council to-
night at the city hall is the annual
tax payers meeting when the propos-
ed budget for the coming year is to
be discussed, not only by the city faith.
ers, but bv as many citizens as may
feel interested in the 1918 budget.
At the last meeting of the council,
about all of the important matters
were settled, excepting that of the APP
preparation for the city library. For
the maintenance of the library, $4,000
was really needed, but the trustees de-
cided to ask for only $500. This
amount was held in the balance, and
passed on to the meeting to be held
this evening.
Besides the library appropriations
there is. strong feeling that Salem
should have band concerts next sum-
mer. In its effort to reduce the budget
for the coming year, the city fathers
frowned on any such things as music
CIR Fairgrounds. There seemed to be q
feeling that tbG strdets were wide
enough for the children S play grounds
and that they could take their chances
in lodging automobiles.
So far, no money has been included
in the budget for the band concerts.
This action of the council has not met
with the favor of many of the business
men of the city. Hence this evening
they will be presented with petition
signed by about 200 of the leading tax
payers, asking that money be appro.
priated for summer concerts. The petit
ton. sets forth that the concerts are
for the best interests of the city ard
also the fact that if Salem is to have
a band, it is necessary there eshould
be such concerts to keen musicians in
the city. 1t is understood the mayor Is
in favor of an appropriation for tho
concerts.

Salem High Defeated
Crack Forest Grove Team

The Forest Grove high school foot
ball team came to Salem yesterday to
play the Salem high with such a tired
feeling that when they arrived at the
depot they asked for carriages to con
vey them to the football grounds.
The Forest Grove bows had beaten
everything in sight this season and it
rather bored them to come to Salem to
play what they considered second
class team. In fact, it was with ditfi.
Guilty they were induced to come TO Sa-

But from the beginning Of the game,

it was all over, the score was 40 to 0
in favor of Salem.
The Salem boys now feel they are

Escaped Siberian Exile
Said to Have Been Fraud

You can never tell who s who dur
ing these war times.
Last winter there appeared in sa-
lem tall, leathery swarthy looking
individual, : introduSlg himself az
Lieutenant Colonel Schwarzkopensky.
He said he was an escaped Siberian
exile, sent there for political offensa
by the czar of Russia.
But according to information reeeiv.
ed from Chicago, it seems that the
said lieutenant colonel ism t any such
person and that the federal authori-
ties in Illinois are on the lookout for
the gentleman with the intentions of
asking him some embarrassing questions
as to his Siberian experiences.
When in Salem, he spoke at the First
Congregational church and delivered
very interesting lecture on Siberian
exiles and how he had escaped. He
brought the chains along to prove it.
He also said he had several scars on
his back.
In making his escape, Sehwarko.
pensky said that he had been aided
bv the Y. NJ O. A. and for that rea-
son, always gave five per cent of the

POLICE GATHER UP
GANG OF DOOTLECGERS
l2O Quarts Of Booze Cap
tured With the Men Who
Brought 1t Here

One hundred and twenty quarts OF
bootlegger booze and four men were
the haul made by the police this morn
ing when the train from the south
pulled into the Southern Pacific depot
at 5:30 this morning.
The night police were ON the watch
and tackled a bunch of five as they
left the train and boarded an auto
with the grips. As soon as they were
aboard the police suggested to them
that they were wanted and that at once
at the police station. One, who it is
claimed is the leader, made his escape
and another, Tom Cook, made a break
for liberty but a shot fired by one of
the policemen, at, as the war dispatches
put it, Somewhere in the neighbor.
hood" !" brought him to a stop.
Charges have been entered against
two, Charles Sorenson and Tom Cook
and the other two are held pending in
vestigation as they did not come with
the party but are taxi drivers employed
by the Oregon Taxi company.
Sorenson was arraigned, pleaded
guilty, waived time for sentence and
the City Recorder Race let him off
with sentence of 30 days in Jail and
a fine Of $3.50. Cook will be arraigned
sometime this afternoon.
1t seems the police have been on the
lookout for'the gang for sometime hav-
ing tip that Portland man, the one
who got away this morning, was the
leader of "a lot of bootleggers making
two or more trips a week with his
stock. That he was doing fairly good
business is indicated by the quantity of
liquors he had with him this morning.
At two trips a week it would mean at
least 240 quarts, and as the beotlegging
variety is reported to bring around IS
a quart, it will be seen he was conduct
ing a profitable business. The officers
have his description and it is under
stood also know his name and it is ex-
pected he will soon be picked up. He
certainly will have to quit business on
this route, which will leave an opening,
for some real energetic individual who
thinks he can pit his individual brains
against those of the whole country.

Cincinnati man tells how to shriveT
up corns or calIuses so they
lift off with fingers

Ouch !?!?!! This kind of rough
talk will be heard less here in town if
people troubled with corns will follow
the simple advice of this Cincinnati
authority, who claims that a few
drops of a drug called ~freezone when
applied to a tender, aching corr or
hardened callus stops soreness at
once, and soon the corn or callus
dries up and lifts right off without
pain.
He says freezone dries Immediate
ly and never iniames or irritates
the surrounding skin. A small bot
tie of freezone will cost very little
at any drug store, but will positively
remove every hard or soft corr or
callus from ones feet. Millions of
American women will welcome this
announcement since the Inauguration
of the high heels. If your druggist
doesn't have freezone tell him to or
der a small bottle for you. 2
