them drink. But she did state that
she left the door of her attic room
open for Moore one night.
But if he ever went up he did not
find me-" she declared 81 was

The girl said that Moore had asked
her to leave her door open earlier in
the evening.
Mrs. Thomas Eastland, half-sister
of the divorCe-seeking wife, took the
stand, She told of complaints Moore
had made to her of his wife's drink
ing, and how she had decided to as
certain just how much truth there
was in the stories. She said she
made careful observations" of what
was going on in the San Mateo res
idence, and that she discovered that
Mrs. Moore had not been drinking,
as Moore claimed. Moore also ac-
cused his wife of being unfaithful,
Mrs. Eastland said, but he mentioned
no names.
Mrs. Moore's case will be finished
this evening. Tomorrow her hus-
bands side will be aired. The real
spice of the suit is expected then.
Interested society people have been
crowding the court room throughout
the trial.

CLARK GETS
TWENTY-FIVE
DAYS IN JAIL

That Salem is very bad place to
live is the opinion of w. E. Clark,
the |. W. w. organizer, who was
tried before Judge Webster yesterday
for disturbing the Salvation Army
street meeting and was given 25 days
in the county Jail or a fine of $50
Clark acted as his own attorney. He
stated that he arrived in the city a
couple of weeks ago about 1910 p.
m. and that he was arrested for be-
ing out after hours at 1890. He was
only released from the city Jail Sun
day and had but a few hours of free
dom before he was re-arrested.
In his own behalf, Clark stated
that it was not his intention to dis
turb the meeting of the Salyationists,
but that his meeting had been widely
advertised and that he waited for the
Army people to get through with
their meeting. They seemed reluc-
tant to leave, however, and so after
their regular time to close Clark
started his meeting across the street.
Clark admitted that he said some
things about the Salvation Army peo-
pie but maintained that his state
ments were correct, This made no
difference with the jury who found
him guilty on the proved fact that
he did disturb a gathering of people
met together for religious purposes.
The jury was composed of F. w
Durbin, F. J. Chapman, J. II. Baker,
William Cherrington, Joe Adolph and
| J. A. Mills. Clark entered strong
objections for cause to some of these
who admitted their prejudice, but
these were oyerruled by Justice Web
! ster.
The circuit court room was crowd
ed to overfowing with interested
spectators and on several occasions
there was boisterous applause as
Clark maintained the principles Of
! free speech on the streets for him
self as we'll as the Salvation Army.

THE Commuters" which comes to

one of the few smaller cities at

of the delight Of that occasion. It
was a good play, but the reason that

it was presented by good players, a
strong company, selected from the
best talent in the east and not by
long-haired pick-ups from the ranks
Of the broken down and fourth-raters

concerning
SCHOOLS AND
The TAX LEVY

At the adjourned session of the
school board the matter of the bud
get for the year was again taken pu.
1t was found that $101,900 will be
needed for the regular current bud
get of expenses for the coming year,
$4,000 of this amount will be fur
nished by the state, $4,000 more
will come from the laboratory fees
and the like, while the balance, $64,-
900, must be met by the taxpayers Of
the district. Taking last years fig
ures as a basis, there is over Sill
100000 worth of assessable proper
ty in the district, and in order to
raise the desired amount it will be
necessary that SO mill tax be lev
led
Besides the regular budget $1,000
will be needed to pay off the amount
now due on the school sites, and
$1,000 more to cover street and
sewer assessments. This deficit of
$16,50O can be paid off by an addi-
tional levy of 1.5 mills, in which
case the interest will be saved. This
matter will be brought up before the
annual taxpayers meeting for their
approval.
Superintendent Powers gave the
board some interesting statistics
comparing the registration of the va
rious schools with records previously
made, in which every school showed
a material increase in the number OF
pupils This increase will necessi-
tate the erection of two more school
buildings in the city. One will per,
haps be located in the northern and
the other in the eastern part of the
city, if the recommendation of the
board is upheld.

A RECORD
BREAKING
FIRE DRILL

At 8: so this morning an alarm was
turned in for fire drill, which was
responded to by the East Salem De-
partment No. 2, which made a record
breaking run to the corner of State
and Commercial streets almost in
stantly upon arrival of the appara-
tus, the fire boys were on the top
of the building and said they wished
it was 10 stories higher. They were
soon playing water into the air, the
engine furnishing a constant pressure
of $50 pounds.
Captain Churchill should be COM
plimented upon the good discipline
and order of the men in his depart
ment. The following who ascended
the fire escape to the top Of the
building were Captain Churchill,
Everett Fisher, chemical driver. And
the regular hosemen, who were also
on the building to direct the stream
from the hose, were: Carl Jepsen,
James Gulick, Ray Campbell, Peter
Burhie, and Juan Woods.
The manner in which the drill was
conducted, under the able leadership
of Chief Mark Savage, and Captain
Churchill, goes to show that the East
Salem fire department has quite a
lively bunch of boys, and can be de-
pended upon to deliver the goods
when required.
Last, but not least by any means,
was the Tiger" fire engine which
