Ch Ud Slayer Leads Way to Tots'Graves Gladys May Parks Sticks to Her Story of Accidents to Other Children CAMDEN, N. Nov. 12. (AP) Long and Intensive questioning of Gladys May Paiks, also known as "Mra.

Baker," and a. number of other names, charged with tho killing of one child and under suspicion of doing away with another, apparently has failed to break down her story that tho children died by accident. Today the prisoner, who 1 35, passed through an ordeal similar to that of yesterday when she was compelled to point out the shallow grave at Avjecon, near Atlantic City, and at National park, four miles south of here, where she burled the children. 8oon after she was given her breakfast the woman, who remains calm under the heavy fire of question by prosecutor and detectives, was taken to the house where Dorothy Rogers, 4. died and then to tho dwelling where Timothy Rogers.

The vote was 244 tor the levy and 020 against lt. The balloting was not heavy but even had anywhere near a full vote been polled, the large majority against the measure Indicated it undoubtedly would have been defeated.

The vote on the measure by ward was a follows; First; Yes, 02; no, 234. Second Yes, 69; no. 170. Third Yes, 45; no, 314. Total Yes, 244; no, 920.

Major Comments Mayor Wilder when asked to comment on the result of the election, said: "It Is a mighty serious situation. This debt has been piling up In the lace of the fact that the city council ha practiced every economy. The council has been cutting down every place and we will still have to reduce expenses. I shall recommend still further cuts during the coming year and we shall cut to the bottom. It is bard' to say what we can do.

The debt eventually will be paid by the taxpayers. There Is no other way out of lt. It will have to come to the taxpayers in some form or another." Assessment Warrants Responsible Delinquent assessment warrants piling up throughout a period of years, are responsible for the condition of the city which the council tried to eliminate by submitting the continu ing levy to the voters. A recent audit of city finance by the Arch J. Tourtelotte company of Portland substantiated the contention of city officials that the city la so indebted through unpaid warrants that lt Is paying Interest on Interest, the height ot bad business.

The auditing firm recommended to the city that S43.0OO. instead of the 925,000 recommended by the council, be appropriated over a period of years longer than five suggested by the council to place the city In a position to meet the Interest debt. Borah Seeks Inquiry Into Stock Exchange This Is Senator's Answer to Charges That Coalition Brought on Collapse WASHINGTON, Nov. 12. (AP) Assailing a complaint that the Demo cratic-Republican Independent coali tion majority the senate on the tariff bill was responsible for the stock market collapse, Senator Borah, or Idaho, suggested today an investigation of the stock exchange In answer.

The Idahoan, who Is a leader of the Republican Independents, Issued his statement in response to a speech last night a New York bankers meeting by Fred I. Kent, a director of the Bankers Trust company, in which the "activities" ot the senate coalition were blamed tor the market condition. "An Institution which gets fright ened because agriculture Is making an honest fight tor existence Is not worth preserving." said Borah. "But that Is not what was the matter with the stock exchange. And likely Mr.

Kent knows more than he wants to tell. "Since Mr. Kent and his cheering listeners have stated a false reason for the doings on the exchange, lt might be well to Investigate the exchange and give the people the real facts. If Mr. Kent believes what he says, lt Is a reflection upon his Intelligence." Charles Darling of Klamath Falls Slain J.

Large Splotches of Green "O's" and "U's" Smeared on College Campus CORVALLIS, NOV. 12. (UP) Large splotches of ten palnT; in "us and with a statement, "to hell with O. S. were found on the Oregon State college campus today.

Immediately following the discovery, an Investigation was launched by Ransom Metnke, president of the O. S. C. associated students, to determine who was responsible. The raid here list night was believed to have been Instigated oy the blast which partially wrecked the university's lariT concrete on Skinner's Butte at Eugene laat Sat urday.

Meinke deplored the vandal-Ism at Eugene and said every eliort would be made to determine lt O. S. C. students were responsible lor the blast. Student leaders of both schools met at Eugene Friday and signed a peace treaty, Hnd, because of this treaty the college campus has not been patrolled.

It was announced that proposition of placing guards on the local campus every night from now unl the Oregon-Orcnon State game at Eugene bat rosy was under conslde rauon. Informed of the reported vandalism at O. S. Tom Stoddard, associated students president a the university. doubted that oraon students were responsible.

Ht sitd thai every er-fort Is being made to check vandal-Ism on the campues ot both schools prior to the game next Saturday. Stoddard planned to ge- In touch with Meinke and maice further investigation ot the affair. He said that in his opinion orecon stuaent are not to blame for the paint daubing, nor are O. B. C.

students to blame for the blasting of the U. 0. Frosh Guard Against Vandalism Baseball Bats, Iron Pipe Used as Ammunition by Students In order to avoid any possible Invasions by vandals on the campus of the UnKcralty ot Oregon, freshmen were placed on guard Tuesday night at various spots on the' campus, and an all night vigilance was maintained. While several of the first-year men were busy gathering up material for the huge bonfire to bet set oft on Friday night as part of the homecoming celebration, many of the yearlings were stationed at the Pioneer statue In the middle of the campus, others at the Oregon seal In front of VlUard hall, and still more at Hay-ward field. At the same time the reconstructed on Skinner's butte was being guarded.

Men who were on duty at various posts on the campus were equipped with somewhat barbarous ammunition In the form of a baseball bat, a lengthy piece of Iron pipe line, knives and other Incidental forms of protection. In compliance with past custom, an extra night watchman has been placed on duty on the campus for this week, according to Hugh L. Biggs, assistant dean of men at the university. He said that It has been customary to have this done during the week preceding homecoming. Commenting on the current "civil war" between the student bodies of the university and the state agricultural college at Corvallls, Dean Blgga stated that investigations have been held every year that vandalism has taken place but without much avail.

He further mentioned that student leaders and administration officials, after delving Into the matter for the past years, have never been able to place the guilt on any university or college student, except in one case. Dean Biggs does not believe that the acts of vandalism have been performed on the part of the students of either Institution, but that lt may have been the work of some high school students, or the attempts of certain Irresponsible and unauthorized members of the student bodies of the colleges.

Hundreds of issues plumbed to new depths for the decline, as the volume of trading swelled to a. 462.770 nhitres for the three-hour session, nearly double yesterday's turnover, and unsurpassed In trndliiff period of like duration save for the total of shares traded on October 31.

The decline was orderly, without reappearance of demoralized conditions on the floor. The ticker, nevertheless, was analn helpless, running for two and a quarter hours after the close. The downturn was undoubtedly hastened by tii spilling overboard of large holdings caused by the breaking of thin margins In the sharp drop late yeaterdsy.

MALLON (United Press Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON, Nov. 12. -(UP) President Hoover, Vice-President Curtis and their close Republican associates are exerting considerable Influence toward healing of the party wounds Inflicted In unprecedentedly bitter tariff contest between eastern and western Republican senators.

IUIII UILI IH More Unlimited Parking Space Is Recommended by Citizens New Ordinance for Meat Inspection Held Up Two Weeks The recommendations of the citizens' traffic committee, urging that the ordinance now being considered by the city council be amended to throw open more space for the parking of cars, and falling to urge the reduction of the hour parking limit In any Instance, were unanimously accepted by the city council at its meeting Tuesday evening. The report, drawn up by the committee Thursday night last week, was presented by the chairman, P. L. Beard, and algned by the members, Dx. Oeorge Hurley, Fred Gerot.

Mah-lon Sweet and Melvln Hansen Exhaustive consideration of the city traffic needs was given by the committee before reaching their conclusions, and It is likely, councllmen indicated, that the ordinance, which Police Commissioner George Monroe and his committee will revise for presentation at the next meeting of the council, will follow the report In the major Instances. Hour Limit Held The one-hour limit should prevail, a It has heretofore. In downtown sections, the report provides. In addition, parking on Olive street between Sixth and Seventh avenues should be without limit, instead of restricted to one hour: Instead of no limit parking along the half block on tho north side of Eighth avenue from Olive to the alley, hour parking should be enforced; on the Inner side ot the streets East, West. North and South Park streets, forming the park square opposite the courthouse, unlimited diagonal parking should be permitted, but should be reserved by the courtesy of Eugene residents for out-of-town visitors; the horee-hltchlng racks at the rear of the Cor-vallls creamery should be moved to East Park street opposite the court houso.

(Continued on Page 2) Dog Conference Has No Appeal Councilmen Probably Will Reject County's Bid to Meeting City councllmen of Eugene were in vited to sit In with county officials Saturday. November 16. on a con ference which Is planned to settle the differences between the state and the city In the matter of collecting tees for each dog in the city, but Mayor H. E.

Wilder sad Monday night, following the council meeting, that it Is unlikely that the city will take any steps to play ball with the state on the dog situation. The communication was addressed to the council by F. H. Ross of the Lane county dog control board, and hinted that the county would like to take care of tho collection of the city licenses along with the state fee for a ajnoll share of tho sum, which lost year ran over 700. Some councllmen Indicated In the discussion thot they think the county board would like very mtch to have the city eliminate it license fee In order to aid the county In collecting the state fee.

The whole situation arises through the fact that both state and city collects and Is authorized to collect, a dog fee. Tills smacks too much of double taxation to appeal to the average dog-owner, and the result is the dodging of one or the other of the taxes, Tho city has a valid right to license dogs, irrespective of the state dog law, which was put Into effect to raise a fund to restore sheep losses suffered through marauding dogs. City Attorney S. M. Calkins indicated In an opinion for the councllmen.

Councllmen think lt rather absurd that poodles and house dogs have to contribute to tho fund for killing sheep. todoy county Prosecutor Clifford A.
