BICYCLE THEFTS
BRING SENTENCE
TO SALEM BOYS

Roy Fultz, 16-year-old lad, liv-
ing at 1849 North Front street,
was this morning sentenced to a
year in the boys training school
and paroled from the bench to
Police Chief Moffitt pending good
behavior, and Lawrence Frussler,
1927 Fairmount street, also about
16 years old, was sentenced to the
training school for an indefinite
period, for the stealing of a num-
Der of bicycles.
The wholesale bicycle stealing
campaign was unearthed yester-
day when the police took into Gus
tody the two boys with the parts
Of about five bicycles. The boys
had planned to take a number of
machines, take them apart and
put different parts of different
machines together, so that the
owner would not recognize his
property, and then sell the fin
ished product.
In hearing before Judge
Bushey this morning it was
brought out that the Frussler boy
had been using his home for only
a place to get his board and lodg-
ing and the Fultz boy was impli-
Gated largely throught his asso-
citation with the other. Mrs
Frussler said in court that there
was plenty of work for him to do
so that he need not be into mis-
chief, but that the son seemed to
have an abhorance of work She
said that if the boys training |
school could help him that she
would rather see him go there
than later go to the penitentiary.

Monopoly of Oil
By Three Companies
Charged In Senate

Mr.. Harreld told the senate It was
their policy to charge all that the
tariff would bear and that conse-
quently the price would not be af-
fected by tariff. He argued that
on the other hand the tariff would
bring to the government a huge
amount of revenue and at the
same. time protect the thousands
of small Independent producers in
the United States.
The Harreld amendment to i'm
nose tariffs of 55 cents a barrel on
petroleum and rs cents a barrel

Those supporting the Harreld
amendment were Broussard, demo
crat. and Bursum. Capper. Curtis

DALLAS SALEM
PAVING IS OPEN

After years of agitation, parley-
ing, grading and regarding the
project for paved highway be-
tween Salem and Dallas became a
reality today when the last load
Of hot stuff" was dumped by the
contractors engaged in closing the
gap in the paving between
Brunk's corner and North Dallas
and the road was thrown open to
traffic.
All that remains to be done to
complete the road is the building
of the gravel shoulders along the
paving laid this summer.
The completion of the road
gives Salem paved highway con-
nections with all of the principal
Polk county towns. The new road
leads directly into Dallas through
Rickreall and joins with the West
Side Pacific highway paving south
to Monmouth and Independence at
Rickreall.

The railroad situation in several
southwestern states showed con-
siderable improvement today
with an increased number OF
trains moving and various confer
ences between railroad officials
and officers of the big four bro

In northern California the an
nouncement of the Southern Pa
cific that 1t had lifted an embargo
on perishable fruit and livestock
shipments was reported to have
greatly relieved the fruit situa-
tion. The embargo was raised
from the ogden route east of Rose
willie and from the Shasta route
north of Gerber, Cal.
A considerable number of car
loads of fruit which had been
standing on sidetracks for several
days started moving. Announce
ment was made that picking of
fruit in orchards in northern and
central California would be re-
sumed today and it was hoped by
growers that a threatened loss es-
timated in millions had been
averted

By Harry N. Grain.

That the delay incident to an
nouneing the independent candi
! dacy of Charles Hall for governor
is prompted by more than a desire
on the part Of the Ku Klux KlaI
leaders to keep the dear public
and the Olcott forces in suspense
is indicated by reports eminating
from the inner circle of the Fed
Grated Patriotic Societies to the
effect that a break is imminent
between the regular "patrfots'
and the klansmen who captured
the political organization of the
federation and used it in Halls
behalf during the primary cam
paign.
Resentful of the manner in
which Fred L. Clifford and John
Jeffries, khan moguls, have usurp-
ed control of the federation's po-
litical machinery, the old leaders
in the federation are reported to
have issued the ultimatum that
the khan is not going to name the
yellow ticket" for the general
election. They are also under
stood to have started a cleanup in
the personnel of the general COM
mittee of the federation, which
determines the political leanings
of the societies, and which was
captured by the khan through the
simple expedlent Of naturalizing
the members of that committee as
Citizens of the invisible empire.
What prompts the attitude OF
the federation regulars" in re-
fusing to have their organization
further ku kluxed viii be clearly
seen in the intimation Of the
that they are going to
run Hall despite the fact that he
has no chance of election, and
that his candidacy virtually as
sures the election Of Olcott.
Fundamentally the Federated
Patriotic Societies is an A. P. A.
1t is not concerned |
generally with the financial pos
iibilities which the candidacy of
Hall holds for the Ku Klux COB
ins, kleagles, etc. and with this
consideration out of mind, the old
inc political generals of the fed
,ration are inclined to frown on
he Hall candidacy. They realize
he success of the effort to defeat
)lcott lies in throwing their
trength to Pierce, the democratic
lominee.
The effect Of such a break in

aren't would be two-fold-It

IN CANNER|ES
$3.50 Tons of Pears and
1900 Tons of Blackber-
ries to be Handled by
Salem Plants.

Approximately 1900 people will
be given employment in the fruit
canning plants of Salem during
the next six weeks in packing the
$3.50 tons of pears and the 1900
tons of blackberries that are to be
handled by the local plants, ac-
cording to the estimates made by
various cannerymen today.
Estimates on the total size of
these packs varies in the minds
of the cannery managers, but the
figures quoted above are fair aver
ages arrived at by balancing their
statements.
Over Million Value.
Packed in cases the total value
of the pears and blackberries,
which are handled simultaneously
by canneries, will be around ST.
100000, figured at the present
market quotations on the fruit,
and present quotations are below
the figure at which most of the
pack mas DS6n sou.
The blackberry pack alone, al
ready started by most of the can
ming plants, will bring in the
neighborhood of 100000 when
shipped and the green fruit will
bring around $2S0,000 at the can
neries, figured on the prevalent
price of 5 cents pound delivered
at the plants.
Estimates OF the size of the
blackberry crop in the territory
tributary to Salem run as high as
1000 tons of Evergreens, both of
the wild and cultivated varieties
Wild berries make up the bulk of
the tonnage. Two weeks ago the
outlook was for a short crop, by
reason of the dry weather which
was drying up the berries on the
low lands and preventing the full

week have saved the prairie crop
and increased the upland yield by

Quality Is the Finest.
The quality of the berries has
not been so good in several years
They are of exceptional size and
filled with juice.
What the pickers will net from
the blackberry harvest is matter
that cannot be definitely deter
