Business Men Held Meeting In Trade
Rooms Last Night to Form Plans
TO Aid Salems Historic school.

The business men of the city held
an enthusiastic meeting in the Board
of Trade rooms last evening for the
purpose of raising the balance of Old
Willamette's endowment. Many OF
those who had already given doubled
their donations, and many others
signified their willingness TO do all
in their power to raise the required
amount. It was the sense of the
meeting that the 100000 fund
should be realized during next month
and that Salem should do its part.
There will probably be held a mass
meeting within a week or so, at
which time Bishop Hamilton or
Bishop Moore will probably address
the citizens. This will be followed
by a campaign which will doubtless
be successful in raising the amount.
10 has been announced that tho
new Eaton building. which will be
constructed between the Kimball in
stitute and the present college bNild-
ing, will be of stone. II will prob
ably be begun at the earliest possl-
BILE date and Will, when completed,
be a credit to the historic old school,
and the city OF Salem, and a lasting
monument to its donor The various
buildings which are proposed and
are assured, II Salem shows the
proper interest, will give the cam
pus a set OF structures which prob
ably will not be exceled by any de-
nominatlonal institution in the

A Marriage Elctlon.

The polite fiction obtains that
marriages are madei nheaven. This
romantic viewpoint Is particularly
popular In America, where Il is held
to be highly improper for parents to
make any move toward securing good
husbands for their daughters and
immodest for girls to manifest any
interest In the subject themselves.
The conventional theory is that
the matter Is on the knees OF the
gods and that In due season hus-
bands will be provided like mauna
In the wilderness for sustenance OF
the faithful. Unfortunately this
miracle does not come OF for every
woman. The gnppiy of mamma gives
out. There are not enough husbands

or four, while others get none. But
neither the old maids nor their par
ents realize that the reason they

their own fault, because they did not

FRISCO MILK

San Francisco. San. 2s,-"There
is not a single dairy In San Francisco
or any outside dairy supplying milk
to San Francisco, the milk OF which

This statement was made by DR.. A.
r. Ward, director OF the state hy-
genie laboratory al Berkeley, at the
opening conference of the crusade
for pure milk, instituted by the Cal
ifornia Club and a number Of med
ical and civil societies, which met at
the California Club.

"There is no surer method OF inn
pregnating tuberculosis into the
blood OF human beings, particularly
into the blood OF babies, than by the
transmission OF bovine tuberculosis

Omitted Press Leased wire.) }


San Francisco, Jan. 23.-Henry
Ach, attorney for Abe Ruef before
the latter entered a plea of guilty to
an extortion charge, is to leave for
Los Angeles tonight, where he will
confer with Ex-Governor Gage on
the proposition of the latter taking
the position as chief counsel for
Ruef.
Ach refused this morning to dis
cuss the matter, but IL is now posi-
lively known that he will be one Of
Ruefs attorneys. Although It is not
probable that Gage will accept the
position as senior counsel. Gage has
stated to one of his closest personal
frieLds that, under no consideration,
would he take up the defense of the
ex-boss. After all other efforts TO
secure Gage as counsel fell through
last night II was decided TO have Ach
make a personal appeal TO the eS-
governor. In the event OF his being
unsuccessful Ruef will conflne him
self to the local field to secure coun-
sci.
This morning he appeared before
Judge Dunno for sentence in the ex-
tortion cases. and, at the request OF
his attorney, the matter was contin-
ued for one week.
Ach held long consultation with
Ruef before court opened and after
the adjournment he again conferred
with the ex-boss. Ruef this morning
also held long conference with Rab-
bl Nieto in the latter's private cham
bers at the temple. While neither
party would give out the subject OF
the conference, II is probable that the
matter taken up was the subject OF
the immunity contract with which
Rabbi Nieto was concerned al the
time Il was signed. II was rumored
that Nieto will be placed on the stand
by Ruef, and will disclose the entire
story OF the immunity contract.
