DAVEY REFUSES
TO Be DRAF TED
AS LEGISLATOR

Frank Davey Of Salem, for four
terms a member of the house of
representatives of the state legis-
lature, will not be a candidate for
reelection this year. In state
ment this morning, prompted by
the receipt of a petition signed by
several hundred Marion county
republicans urging that he permit
his name to be used as candi-
date, Davey declares that he can
not consent to run. There is
plenty of good material in Marion
county, Davey declares, adding
that there are other men who
should be drafted il the occasion
demands but declaring that he is
not in a position at the present
time to enter the race. r Davey,
who served in the house in the ses-
sions of 1903, 1907, 1915 and 1921
was speaker of the house in 1907
Il have decided that | will not
become a candidate for the legis-
lature," Davey declared this morn
ing in commenting upon the at
tempt to draft him into the race
for seat in the lower house. "The
department in which am employ
ed is not in politics and l feel that
l should stay out also while SO en-
gagged.
''In making this decision l de-
sire to thank the many friends
among all classes of citizens who
have no kindly volunteered their
encouragement and support. This
has been of far more pleasure to
me than could come from actual
election to the office. The friend
ship and confidence of my neigh
bors among whom l have lived and
Iabored the past 35 years are
worth more to me than political
preferment.
Il have always been willing TO
be drafted for service in any good
cause and l hope to continue in
that feeling but in this case 1t is
not necessary. There are many
good men in Marion county who
are situated and equipped to give
good service and they should be-
called oRt Marion county needs
a strong delegation all the time
but it is only by getting after the
right kind of men that they can
be induced to run"

ASKS
FAIR JURORS
|S|T FOR TRIAL.
Illinois Governor Voices
Demand That Women
Be Called In Venire To
Try Him for Graft

Waukegan, ILL.,, April 3.--(By
Associated Press. )-Governor Len
Small today demanded that
women sit on the jury which is to
try him on charges Of conspiracy
to embezzle state funds.
Through his attorneys, he
charged the entire jury list OF
Lake county because only men had
been called.
Attorney w. Schroeder reading
an affidavit charging no women
had been called for the jury,
thereby depriving said women
voters of their inherent right" to
serve on the jury.
Demand Is Surprise
The demand of the defense that
women be permitted to sit on the
jury was an unexpected surprise.
No effort has been made In Illinois
to use women jurors in important
cases.
If Judge G. G. Edwards should
uphold the governor 8 contention
and order women called for the
jury, new problem will be raised
as he has already announced his
intention Of keeping the jury
locked up throughout the trial
which is expected to last any
where from to months.
Bed Problem Puzzles
Lake county has a large bed
room on the third floor OF the
court house with IL single beds
where jurors are kept during
trials. The laws of Illinois would
prevent segregation of the men
and women jurors, lawyers in the
case said.
The defense completed its argu-
ment at 2:15 o'clock and court
recessed while lawyers for the
state held conference.
The state obtained continu-
ance until Wednesday to prepare
arguments against the motion.

Declare Today

Toxic, April 3.-(By Associat-

tion of Siberia was decided upon
at the last meeting of the Japa-
nese cabinet, according to the To-
kio newspapers today.
The Asahi Shimbun, in pub
fishing the report, attributes the
decision to activity of the reds in
the maritime province which it
says places the Japanese forces in
a position Of having to fight the
soviet troops.
In either case Japan would
suffer, says the newspaper. IF
they fight, the situation would be

The Asahi alleges that the rep
resentatives at Dairen have been

BOYS TRAINING
SCHOOL OUT Of
DATE SAYSKUSER

The present lack of facilities at
the boys training school, and
what could be accomplished with
improvements under the cottage
plan. were discussed for Salem
business men by W. L. Kuser, re-
Gently appointed superintendent
of the institution, at the Com
mercial club luncheon this noon.
From the first man who
started with the present building
to the last superintendent Of the
institution, every one has been
working with an institution that
is out of date, :" said Mr.. Kuser.
"All training schools now are
built on the cottage plan. The
boys can't live normal life under
the present system. 1t lacks home
training facilities. These boys,
who come to us from every corner
Of the state, need something
want something they didn't get
in the home.
Play ground space is lacking,
many of the boys are in need of
medical attention, the lack of

of delinquency, and parole facili-
ties are no means what they
should be, according to Mr.. Kuser.
IA boys play is mis- religion.
More sermons can be preached a
boy on the play ground than in
chapel. The minute you begin to
talk about sanctification to the
boys in our institution you are
over their heads, but when
you are teaching them to be
square on the play ground you
are teaching them lessons in
Christianity.

THIEF ENTERS
EIGHT HOMES
IN ONE NIGHT
Police Believe Same Man
Robbed Each Residence;
Total Loot of Unknown
Party Is Not Known

Salem's soft shoe" burglar
who enters your home, ransacks
the place with neatness and dis
patch and then departs without
disturbing your sleep, last night
brought more worry to the police
when he entered eight more local
residences, picked up those arti-
cles which pleased his discerning
eye, and departed quietly.
Police said today they are con-
vinced that all of the homes were
entered by the same individual
and that they are of the opinion
the burglar is the same man who,
a few weeks ago, robbed the resi-
dences of five prominent Salem
families. Last night his hauls
were not large.
Eight Are Victims.
The residences robbed last night
were as follows:
D. B. Jarman, merchant, 744
North Cottage street.
]. G. Sigmond, abstract man,
1855 South Seventeenth street.
e. w. Marsters, realtor, 1475
Court street.
F. X. Spears, fruit man, 346
North Thirteenth.
r. j. Hendricks, newspaper
editor, North Summer street.
H. A. Cornoyer, hop grower,
1929 Chemeketa street.
William McGilchrist Jr., broker,
sos North Summer street.
Fred Lainson, 1925 Court
street. A -
All of the eight homes-the
largest number of local residences
ever robbed in one night-were
entered through windows and in
not one case were any of the sleep
ers disturbed by the soft shoe"
man. 1t was the same during the
five previous burglaries. In each
case the man found a window,
stepped in, made his search and
departed without rousing the
household.
Leaves His Umbrella
Only at the Jarman home did
the burglar leave anything which
resembled a clue. Footprints un-
der the west window by which he
entered and left indicated that he
wore long, pointed shoe. Near
the window he left an umbrella
sticking in the mud. Whether he
had stolen this from some other
home or whether he was eluding
the raindrops as he has the po-
lice, Is not known. Only a purse,
in which there was no money,
was taken from the Jarman home.
A child's bank; in which there
was about SO in silver, he failed
to take.
Losses Are Listed
A silver mesh purse, mans
overcoat and gloves and about is
in silver were stolen from the
Spears home. Thirty five cents
was netted from the visit to the
Hendricks residence, and nothing
was yielded at Marsters. A pocket
camera was taken from the Lain
son home. At McGilchrist's resi-
dence, which has been burglarized
three times recently, he stole an
overcoat which he later discard
ed in the yard. Nothing was re-
ported missing from the Cornoyer
home. Five dollars was netted by
his visit to the Sigmund household
