Basing her assertions upon COM
plants made to her by inmates of
the county poor farm, Mrs. C. E.
Sherwood, a prominent worker in
the w. R. c.. and w. C. T. U. of this
city, today declared to a representa-
tive of the Capital Journal that be-
cause of the insufficient food provid-
ed for the inmates by G. e. Clymer,
superintendent of the institution,
and also because of his treatment of
them generally, that a number of
them by applying directly or indi-
rectly through charitable societies to
the county court have been permit
ted to leave, and are now being cared
for at the expense of the county at
private places, despite the fact that
the county pays Clymer amply for
caring for them at the poor house.

After an investigation of the law
on the subject, Attorney General
Crawford in an opinion written at the
request of Geo. Bingham, attorney
for this school district, today gave It
as his opinion that the recall can not
be invoked against a school director,
and as the school board will abide
by the opinion II puts an end to the
recall movement inaugurated against
School Trustee Millard, unless those
back of 1t should decide to test the
opinion of the attorney general in a
court Of law.
The opinion of the attorney gen.
eral is a lengthy affair, covering all
the questions submitted to him by the
schools and district attorney. In 1t
he declares that while a school di-
rector is a public officer that the
Legislature has failed to prescribe a
mode of procedure in invoking 1t
against school directors as 1t has
done in the case of all other public
officers and because of this 1t can not
be invoked against that class of Off
GERS.
The recall petition was filed with
the school board last Saturday even

The rough outline work of the
sixth annual Cherry Fair was done
by heads of the standing committees
last night at the Board of Trade
rooms. About $1,000 was appor-
toned to the various committees and
then the committees organized and
began to outline their work. George
L. Schneider was put in charge of
decorations, and will also assist on
the floats, and the parades will be
more elaborate than ever before.
Some uniform plan of decorations
will be devised for all the business
streets, and it may even be extended
to the residences. Everybody is re-
uuested to get out the last shred Of
bunting and colored decorative ma
terial, such as flags, college banners
and streamers. The Cherry City col
ors will be red and green, and every
true Salemite should begin to accum-
ulate material for decorations and
for three days, July 6, Z and s, let
our city be gayer than ever before.
Dollar Bargain Days.
The Business Mems League has a
committee at work on the greatest
commercial enterprise ever sprung
at Salem-a three-day dollar bargain
sale, when there will be offers that
i will draw attention far and near. No
official program was authorized by
the committee, and the merchants
and newspapers will hanlle all the
advertising matter for the Cherry
Fair. For three days there will he

streets of Salem than ever before la

At Marion Square.
The cherry pavilion and Arnold
corcession shows will be located at
Marion Square, if the permission Of
the Park Board can be secured, but
the street parades, the sporting fea-
lures. and all the platform shows
will be on the business streets The
aviation committee turned in SaG to
the Cherry Fair fund and the total
funds pledged are about $4,000. The
committees are all working care
fully under the direction of the mas
ter economist, Walter Stolz, and
most of them will return a surplus 70
the general fund.
Special Ambassadors.
VIM. McGilchrist, Jr., was chosen
to manage the delicate task of Sc
lecting a Cherry Fair queen, and .
beautiful robe will be made up and
presented to the winner in that con'
test of beauty. Judge Darcy was
sent to Portland today to arouse in

from that city. S. G. Sergeant, Of

What Charges Were.
The recall movement against Trus-
tee Millard was inaugurated several
months ago-shortly after the re-
election of Principal Kirk. Citizens
had filed a protest against the reten-
tlon of Kirk but despite them he was
reelected. On the night of his re-
election Attorney Boyne appeared be-
fore the board and asked for fur
ther hearing but the board ignored
him, and its action in this respect
was one of the reasons for launching
a movement to invoke the recall
against Millard. In the petition he
was also charged with falling to act
favorably upon petitions Of people In
the suburbs asking for additional
school houses and in dlsregardlng
their wishes in the selection of sites.
The plan of those back Of the
movement was to recall Millard and
elect man favorable to their views
on these subjects in the place Of
Trustee Babcock as there were
enough OF the other members Of the
board favorable to them to give them
! q majority.

the manufacturers to realize that the
administration was with us and they
asked for a conference.
Il want to thank the mayor from

the present laws which are known to
be framed with n strong bias in favor
of the employing class. The moral
influence of an administration under
the control OF the working class. to
