UNIVERSITY FOR MEXICO

Commissioned by President Diaz OF
the republic of Mexico to observe the
workings of the University Of Califor-

Dr. Chavez said recently: 81 am here
to observe The school system Of Mex
leo is unique. 1t has had its own de-
velopment. 1t is not Spanish, it is not
American, but Mexican. There are,
first, the primary, then the grammar
and high schools and finally the prepar-
atory and professional schools. There
is no university in the American or
European sense. There are faculties
Of law, agriculture, fine arts, medicine
engineering, architecture, arts, crafts
and archaeology in the City Of Mexico
and other cities Of the republic, but
they are entirely separate and distinct.
On the occasion, however. Of the one
hundredth anniversary Of the independ-
ence Of Mexico in 1910 all these various
faculties will be welded together into

Senior Chavez is the leading psycholo-
gist Of Mexico. He was professor OF

A Powerful Writer.

The late Rufus E. Shapley, the bril-

For Mulhooly," which had an immense
success. Once at dinner an editor
congratulated Mr.. Shapley warmly on
"Solid For Mulhooly." The editor said
it was powerfully written. Mr.. Shap-

Portland Attorney Has His Hands

CLEVER BAND OF CROOKS POSED
AS HUSTLING REAL ESTATE
MEN.

PORTLAND, Ore, Oct. 1O.-An or
ganized ring of swindlers, systemat-
ically planned for syndicating crime,
uttering innumerable forged promis-
sorry notes and using an exconvict as
a tool in order to divert suspicion
fro mthemselves. Such is an accusa-
ton which has been laid before Dis
trict Attorney John Manning and
which that official has been carefully
investigating for several days says
the Portland Telegram.
Should District Attorney Manning
believe that there is sufficient proof
to justify his bringing an indictment,
the case will be one of the most i'm
portant criminal prosecutions inaugu-
rated in this city. 1t will unearth

CATION is the result of incidents grow
ing out of the fight of William H.
Taft, the levanting real estate dealer,
who is now in hiding, with a warrant
n11f for hic orrQcf no 0ivo0 him wi h
forgery. Inquiry into the Taft affair
indicates that he was the tool of a
ring of conspirators, who forged free
ly, using Taft as the medium through
which they transmitted waste paper
into gold.
Taft was in the real estate and note
brokerage business. He disposed of a
note to DR.. George H. Peters, which
was signed James Thurston" Upon
investigation no such person as Thurs
ton could be discovered. But Taft said
he could produce him. Taft failed to
do this and fed warrant being is
sued for his apprehension, accusing
forgery. Other notes which Taft float
ed were found to be forgeries.
It is now stated that Taft was the
agent of combination Of people who
conducted a factory for forging these
promissory notes. These people mad
Taft in their power, and made MIN an
accessory to their forgeries by nego-
tiating the worthless notes. It is the
theory of the district attorney that
practically none Of the money which
Taft raised by these forgeries reverted
to him, the ring taking the proceeds.
The conspirators are supposed to have
believed that Taft's former record Che
served term in the penitentiary at
Salem for uttering similar forged notes)
would serve as cloak to their opera
lions, and in the event of discovery or
suspicion arising, the ex-convict would
be considered the only one guilty.

Discuss Situation

During the last few days the direc-
tors of the Young Mems Christian as
sociation have been brought face to
face with a problem which emphasizes
the need of a new association building
even more strongly than has been the
case heretofore.
Notice has been served on them that
the quarters at GA South Hill street
now occupied by them must be vacated
within the next few months.
The reason given by the owner Of
the property for this action is that the
lot recently was placed under a long
term lease and it is the lessee's inten-
ton to tear down the present build
ing and make extensive improvements
The Young Mems Christian associa-
ton has no lease on the building, be-
ing merely a tenant at will, and there
fore has suddenly been confronted with
a rather serious crisis in its affairs.
Even though it were permitted to re-
main in it's present quarters for an
other year, it would not help matters
much, as 1t would be impossible to
complete the new building in that
time. and the necessity for seeking
