III Is easy to get married in this
country. Perhaps there is nothing
easier. 1t was thought for a while
that Johann Hoch, Chicago's leading
bigamist, did pretty well when he mar
ried seventeen women in three years.
Chicago doubted if any other city could
produce record that would heat that
1t seems, however, that Mr.. Hoch's
performance was neither unique nor
extraordinary. develops that DR..
George A. Witzhoff, of New York,
has record as a marrying man which
makes that of Mr.. Hoch look like the
traditional thirty cents" DR.. WITT
hoff Is believed to have participated as
a principal in at least twenty-five mar
riages, and he has hired gentlemen to
more occasions when it has not been
convenient for him to go through the
ceremony personally. From the 125
women whom he bigamously married
himself and to whom he supplied big
amOus husbands. it is thought Dr..
Witzhoff got $4,000 in cash and Jewell
ry. Like Mr.. Hoch. he found the bust
ness of wholesale marrying profitable
as well as pleasant. According to Mrs.
Charlotte Smith, president of the
Woman's International Rescue League.
there lately have been numerous in
dustrious workers in the matrimonial
r1
Witzhoff. "There are to-day in the
United States" she asserts, mo less
than 10000 women who have been
married, robbed and deserted by pro-
fessional bigamists" 1t might be in
ferred from this that women are much
easier to entice into matrimony than
men. Probably, however, this is an
untenable conclusion. When a woman
does start on marrying bent, mere men
fall before her like grain before a
sickle. Miss Marion Rapp, now under
arrest at Philadelphia, is known to
have got eight husbands in three
years, and is suspected of having cap
tured some six or eight more Miss
Rapp is still young, and if her career
had not been untimely cut off she
might have made record that would
have done credit to her sex. The sad
experiences of the numerous people
who have been victimized by gay de-
ceivers, male and female perhaps con
tain lesson to careless persons con
templating matrimony. When a stran
ger comes along and proposes mar.
riage at first sight it may possibly be
| just as well to take look into his
or her antecedents. This is not the
most romantic way to proceed, but II
is way that may prove to have great
practical advantages. 1t probably
would be indorsed by every one of the
10000 women in this country who
according to Mrs. Charlotte Smith, are
now looking for professional bigamists
who married them and ran away with
their cash.

"What is our greatest help in cap

of course" said the detective. "Men
and women who make crime bust

when it is well done, according to
criminal standards, and sooner or later
they brag Of it and it gets to our
ears. Even men who commit unpre-
meditated crimes seem unable to keep
their doings to themselves, and If they
do not openly boast they give out

A Preacher Rioh prom Apnles.

Mr.. F. wallen, of zillab, Yakima
county Wash, is a retired preacher,
who went to the Yakima valley about
10 years ago, bought a tract Of land,
at a low price, and set out an orchard.
Three years ago it came into bearing.
But Mr.. Walden thought he would
sell it. He put it on the market, ask
ing $4,000 for IL. He failed TO get a
buyer that year, and he had the crop
on his hands in the fall. The fruit
that year brought him $12,5OO. The
farm has not since been on the mar
ket. 1t is now producing every year
from $4,000 to 10000. Mr.. Walden
lives in Seattle 10 months in the year,
and spends the other two months har.
v%esting and marketing his fruit crop.

SCHOOL
BOARD
MEETS
Elects an Instructor, and
Takes up Matters Of
Improving Sewerage

At the meeting of the school board
held in the police court room Satur.
day evening a letter was read from
Prof. w. +. Fargo Of McMinnvilie,
stating that he would not come as an
instructor in the science department
OF the Salem high school for less than
$50 per month. As the board refused
to pay more than $75 the letter was
considered as a declination, and Prof.
John f. Smith, at present principal
of the Roseburg high school, was elect.
ed to that position. Mr.. Smith is a
young man with three years. teaching
experience. He is a graduate of the
Oregon Agricultural college, being the
valedictorian of his class, and also a
graduate Of the commercial department
of the Ruskin college Of Chicago. He
was principal of the Roseburg school
last year and was reelected for this
year but villa resign to receive the
position with a higher salary. In speak.
ing Of him last evening City Superin-
tendent Powers expressed himself as
being very well pleased with the Sc
lection and thought that Prof. Smith
would prove a strong addition to the
high school faculty.
The next business Of Importance to
come up for the consideration Of the
board was the question Of sewerage in
regard to the Park school. This was
brought up by Director Lee, who was
in favor Of permanently improving the
existing condition. Ho was also sec
onded in this by Epley and Byrd, but
Croisan and Condit were only in favor
Of a temporary "makeshift." Leo was
was in favor Of establishing a septic
sewer tank similar TO the one put in
at the North School last year and
which has given good satisfaction.
Croisan suggested that new holes be
dug and that the closets be moved.
DR.. Byrd stated that the improvement
was made at the North School last year
with the understanding that one school
should be taken up each year until
all were provided with sewerage ia
~eilities and he thought that the Park
school was next in line. After remarks
by the members of the board, Byrd
moved that the committee on repairs
DO instructed 10 investigate the con
dition and report their findings at the
next regular meeting, which is in Sep
tember.
The closets at the Park school are
the old fashioned kind, set over a
hole in the ground. This has not only
become a nuisance, but is a positive
menace TO the health Of the pupils
and the residents Of the neighborhood.
A great deal Of complaint has been
made In regard to II and the need Of
immediate action seems apparent TO all.
The presence Of the creek near the
school makes II an ideal sight for the
establishment of a septic sewer tank,
and this seems to be the logical So
luton of the problem.
