This became known this morn
Ing when Chief of Police Moffitt
announced he would ask the coun
oi, at its next meeting to provide
a parking depot for the licensed
chauffeurs, and his plan had re-
ceiyed the approval of Mayor Hal
vorsen and Paul Thompson, chair
man of the police committee OF
the council.
Complaints are Many
Complaints are received at
this office almost every day from
tenants of State office buildings,
or from the jitney men them
selves" Chief Moffitt said. "The
tenants point out that, although
they pay rent for their quarters,
they must park their automobiles
on streets removed from their Of
fices, while the taxi men monopo-
lie the parking space on State
street. The police are also called
on frequently by the drivers to
settle disputes over parking
space"
Mayor Halvorsen said today he
believes a parking depot would
he the hest solution for the prob
lem.
Depot Plan Favored
Where the best place would
be, am not prepared to say" he
explained, "but is certain some
provision should be made. Dis
putes are continually arising
over various alleged grievances,
and am of the opinion that these
men should be removed from
State street. They are, however,
licensed, and are undoubtedly en-
titled to certain privileges, and
their interests must be consid-
ered."
That the matter has been call
ed to his attention many times,
and that he believes the council
should take some action, were
the statements of Mr.. Thompson.
40 Cars Operate
The police are forever being
called on to deal with some an
gle OF the problem" Mr.. Thomp-
son said, "and l believe it is
high time that some move is
made to eliminate it. If a park
Ing depot is provided for the
drivers they will be as well off
as they now are"
Forty nine jitneys and auto
mobiles operating on various
Stage lines, are at present run
llng in and out of Salem, it is
stated. Portland, Albany, Corval-
u.s. Eugene, independence, Dali
las' Tillamook, Silverton, Wilhoit,

Uity are among the towns which
they visit.

Mrs. Colavito, who was known
as a midwife. was arrested in San
dusky several days ago. In her
statement, she told the authorities
how two days before the murder
Kaber's assassins had tiptoed
through his home to get the LAY
of the land" while Miss McArdle
played a piano to drown the noise
OF their footsteps.
-. Wife Wanted Insurance.
She also is alleged to have said
that the assassins demanded $4,000
for committing the crime, but that
when Mrs. Kaber declared she
would not pay 1t unless her hus-
band was killed with some weapon
so she could collect an insurance
policy"
Five hundred dollars had been
given to Mrs. Colavito, she said In
her alleged confession. to be paid
the assassins in part.
According to the officers who
questioned Mrs. Colavito, her
statement in part. reads as fol-
lows:
II was on Wednesday before tho
murder that we went to inspect
the Kaber home, learn the ar
rangement of the rooms and find
out where Kaber slept. Two men
known as Sam and Tony, who
were to do the work, were with
me.
Daughter Helped Plotters.
When we reached the home
that evening we were taken
through the halls and rooms. To
help deaden the noise made as we
tramped through the house, Mar
ian McArdle keptp laying a piano.
The two men were shown the door
to Kaber's room.
ut was arranged that the back
door was to be open and Mrs.
Brickel was to be on the porch at
10 o'clock the next night as a
signal that all was well.
"The murder was to take place
the next night-Thursday. On
Friday morning / received a call
from the two men. They said they
had been at the Kaber home the
night before but had found the
back door locked and no woman on
the porch.
New Plans Laid.
II called the Kaber home on the
telephone and Marian McArdle,
the daughter, answered that she
could not discuss the matter over
the telephone, bI. asked me to
meet her with the two men. That
afternoon. Friday, Marian, Tony,
Sam and l met on a street corner
In the east end.
Marian said: Come out to-
night and youll find everything
ready.
I'VE then discussed new plans.
1t was decided that the men were1
to hide and that Marian was to
make the rounds upstairs. When
everything was ready and the
house quiet, she was to drop some
water from an upstairs window SO
that it would strike the ground
near a basement window.

After the armistice was signed It

sugar price control on Dec. 1, 1919, and
the production of beet sugar in 1920-2l
jumped to $4,000 tons-an increase of
