Game Warden
Talks To Clubs

Urging that the organization
cooperate with his office in Sc
lecting small hatchery sites for
use next summer, A. Z. Burgh-
duff, state game warden, spoke to
members of the Mistland Field &
Stream club last night,
Mr. Burghduff stated that the
Santiam hatchery had been turned
over to the salmon interest be-
cause of the great expense of COM
pleting and operating it, and that
smallh atcheries were to be estab-
lished, the fish to be raised on
streams they were to be liberated
in. There is also a possibility of
establishing a hatchery at the
penitentiary.
Over 100000 fish were turned
loose in streams of Marion county
this year the speaker stated,
1870, 900 of which were liberated
in Mill creek between the reform
school and Stayton, while the bal
ance were placed in Silver creek,
Abiqua. Thomas, BIle, Stout and
Little North Fork lreeks.
Mr.. Burghduff pointed out that
IL cost % cents a thousand to
spawn the salmon while it cost
50 a thousand to spawn trout,
stating also that his office had
found that the female trout had
been ready to spawn when the
bucks were not and thus accoun-
ed for the scarcity.
The speaker also assured the
sportsman that Marion county
would get its share of Chinese
pheasants this year, but was un-
able TO say how many.

LIKENED
TO JUDAS
ISCARIOT
Prosecutor Flays Elk
Salem School Head
AS Betrayer of His
Friends

Portland. Nov. 20 John Todd
was likened to Judas Iscariot,
Benedict Arnold and Cain this
morning in the federal court here
by United States Attorney Lester
Humphreys in his closing argu-
ment to the jury. Judas Iscariot
had good reputation before he
betrayed his master with kiss,
Arnold had a good reputation be-
fore he betrayed his country, Cain
had good reputation before he
slew his brother, and 50 did Todd
before he helped to rob Salem
people Of about $65,oo0. Humph-
reys said.
Referring to Genesis $40, Hum
phreys said, Like Adam IN the
garden Of Eden, afraid OF God be-
cause he had done wrong, Todd
was afraid Of Arundel, a govern
ment agent, because he too had
done wrong"
Judge Bean finished his In
structions at IL 80 p. nj. and gave
the jury the case.
"The purpose OF this statute is
to prevent the post office from
being used to promote q fraud, z
| the court said. 'It Is not neces-
sary for the government to prove
intent by Todd to use the mails,
but merely that they were used"
Charles Robson, Todd's attor-
ney, reminded the jury that to-
morrow is Thanksgiving day, and
said he would patiently await
their verdict this evening. Robin
son says he will not accept
sealed verdict and win demand a
poll Of the jury.
Todd Contradicts Self
Portland, NOV. z5.l Special)
What does the jury in United
States District Judge Beams court
think OF John w, Todds contra
dictory statements? This Is the
question uppermost IN the minds
OF those who have been watching
the trial closely in the federal
court here. Does the jury believe
Todd now that United District At
torney Lester w. Humphreys
made him take back some Of his
statements while under cross ex-
animation.
Under a most grilling and rap-
i'd fire cross examination Todd
denied part OF his direct exami-
nation testimony while attempts
ing to review his conversation in
Salem on February 2, 1920, with
| g. Roger Arundel, government
investigator. At first Todd said be
had destroyed all records In the
case upon Instructions from Car-
los L. Byron. When reminded Of
the testimony OF Arundel that he
had stated In Salem he destroyed
the books upon his own initiative.
Todd attempted TO deny Arundel
had offered such testimony.
Humphreys then insisted that
Todd repeat his answer. Todd
again said Byron had ordered the
destruction OF the books. Humph-
reys then demanded of the court
reporter that the previous testi-
mony OF Arundel be read. Todd
made no further attempt to deny
Arundell's testimony, adding only
that he supposed It was SO il

UNABLE
T0ACREE
Conference On Reduc-
tion of Land Arma-
rllent Adjourns With
out Results

Washington, Nov. %. -(By
The Associated Press.) - The
delegations of the five powers dis
cussed land armament today, but
no definite declaration of policy
resulted from their deliberations.
None Of the powers, it was un-
derstood, presented any proposal
looking toward concrete pro-
iiouncement supporting the
French attitude toward army re-
duction as outlined to the full
conference in plenary session
Monday by Premier BRAND.
Sub Boards To Act
The debate led the delegates
into consideration of specific
problems of land armaments and
it was decided to appoint sub
committees to deal with such sub
jects as airplanes, poisonous
gases and other auxiliary means
Of warfare.
Premier BRAND attending his
last meeting of the armament
group before his departure for
France made a brief presentation
of the exact position of his gov
ernment, and it was said that a
general discussion followed along
the lines of that in which the
powers expressed general appre-
citation of the French position at
Mondays session.
BRAND Satisfied
After the two hour and half
session was over the French
premier, despite the failure to
make joint declaration of policy,
expressed general satisfaction
with the direction the discussions
had taken.
II was also indicated by the
French delegates that M. BRAND
would return to France confident
that his nations attitude had the
sympathetic understanding of
the other national groups and
that France had nothing to fear
from subsequent negotiations on
land armaments.
Heads Of delegations Of the five
powers agreed to meet later In the
day to form the subcommittee
and to consider duties Of the sub
committees.

Gr Hardy was asked for his orin-
ion OF the subject this morning
and was very quick to state that
any man who makes the stuff
should be given life sentence,
and the man who drinks il put

combination OF malt, ether. and

DR.. Hardy states that the whole

wrecked If person persists In
drinking this liquor, and DR..

no way of checking the rlyages OF

DR.. Hardy says that there never

taking freely of the stuff may lay

BY TEN BANDITS
Escape With Two Pouches
Of Registered Mail Is
Effected; Four Train
Employees Injured
MEN HAD VERITABLE
ARSENAL OF PISTOLS
Robbery Appears to Have
Been Planned by Men Ex-
perienced in Railroading

CHAMPAIGN, Ills, Nov. S.--A
pouch supposed to contain $1,000
cash, was the object of the ten train
robbers who held up the Illinois Cen
trail New Orleans Limited near Pax
ten last night, according to railroad
men here today. The robbers had the
pouch and lost ii. the railroad men
say.
The robbery was one Of the most
spectacular Of the present generation.
according to train and mail employees
who witnessed it. The train was stop
ped on a bridge, the mail car dyna-
mited and set on fire and a continual
exchange of shots between passeng-
ers and the robbers was going on
during the iooting.
Some Of the robbers boarded the
train and made the engineer prison.
er by reaching the bridge There the
advance guard was joined by other
bandits who had come to the spot i'll
an automobile.
The engineer was forced out Of
his cab and used to cover by the
bandits TO induce the mail clerks
to open mail car doors.
At this point, passengers at the
far end of the train began shooting
and the bandits casually replied with
the revolyers while directing the mail
clerks to throw out sacks OF register
ed matter.
The bandits searched the sacks in
the presence OF their victims and
when they found no valuables, made
bonfires Of the mail the flames os
which furnished n lurid background
for the subsequent events of the
night.
Combining their search to sealed car.
the bandits commanded the mail
clerks to unlock the doors and threat.
ened TO kill the engineer and flremen
who were then being held as hostages.
When the mail clerk demurred some
Of the bandits placed q charge OF
dynamite at the door Of the sealed
car and exploded it, The charge was
too light and another was set. This
was successful and mail clerks were
ordered into the car to throw out
pouches.
Meanwhile the size Of the bonfire
made from the discarded mail was in
creased and as the flames mounted
and threw more light upon the ban
dts. there was an increase OF shotq
from the passengers and some of tho
train crew in the rear.
