of the fire department, weights and

MA Y DISCUSS CAUSE OF
LNFAN7ILE PARAL YSLS

PORTLAND, Ore, Sept. 6.-Pol-
iomyelitis may be explained and the
causes of the malady discovered, as
a result of a clinic to be held at
the thirty-sixth annual session of
the Oregon State Medical associa-
ton which convenes in Portland to-
morrow. AZ
Known as infantile paralysis,
poliomyelitis has been reaping q
harvest of death throughout Ore
gon. Since it has been attacking
adults as well as infants, physi-
clans here decided that to call 1t
infantile paralysis is not accurate.
Authorities on the disease from
many parts of the United States,
together with local physicians who
have been making exhaustive study
of it's causes and cure, will make
reports upon what they have dis
covered concerning the nature of
the affliction. Scientific tests will
be made during the sessions in orr
der, if possible, to discover the
causes.

gall has cleared up all difficulties
in the way of his accepting the
preferred board of works job, the
new arrangement will go into eff
feet next Monday.

The Auditorium theater has been
reserved for next Monday night for

only served to make the boys feel
more jubilant. They take the with

AFTER BEING "VZNDICATED"
SEC. BALLLNGER WILL RESIGN
10y United Press Leased Wire)

10y United Press Leased Wire)
Portland, Ore. Sept. 6.-secre-
tary of the Interior Baffinger is to
be formally cleared by the congress
sional investigation committee of
the charges made against the con-
duct of .lis affairs in relation to the
approval Of the Cunningham claims
in Alaska. He will then resign be-
fore congress has an opportunity TO
act on the majority report and the
minority report that will be made.
This forecast of the program of
the administration adherents reach
ed Portland today from a source
considered reliable. 1t provides the
safest plan for Ballinger to slide
into the pond of private life,"
where he would be safe from the
attacks of his political enemies.
According to information from
Washington today, the "exonera-
ton" of Ballinger is to be accom-
plished by vote of seven stand
patters against the minority, which
consists of four democrats and one
republican.
"Vindicated," 1t Is rumored that
Ballinger is prepared to resign, as
it would then be probable that both
houses would accept the majority
report. Should the secretary re-
main in office, however, it is said
that the insurgents of the house
would be disposed to join with the
democrats and stand behind the mi
nority report, which Representative
Madison will place before the repre-
sentatives.

ment company. One of the condi-
lions was that If the payments were
not made ON the bond that it would
lapse and the purchaser lose the
payments made. DR.. Cunningham
made the first payment, $3.50, by
giving his note and then changed
his mind as to the investment ~
refused to pay the note.
Judge Huneke ruled that the fail
ure to pay the note terminated the
contract and relieved the doctor Of
liability on the note.
The supreme court has reversed
Judge Hinkle and held that DR..
Cunningham Is liable on his note
for the first payment of the pre-
