Care in Selection.

Great care was taken in choosing the
committee. All of the members are men
who have long been identified with char
ity work in the city. They are practi-
cal men and eminently we'll trained to
fulfill the duties required of them"
. The committee was appointed upon the
request of the Associated Charities. which
for years has been urging the creation
of such an organization.
The creation of the committee is a
fine thing for the CITY," said George s.
Wilson, secretary of the Board of Char
ities last night. II have recommended
the establishment of such an organization
several times. The plan was adopted
years ago in many of the cities of the
country. AS I understand the plan, the
committee will investigate all appeals to
learn whether they are worthy ones just
as the Associated Charities investigates
families to learn if they are deserving
Of help. While the committee will have
no connection with the Board of Chari-
ties, the plan will undoubtedly aid the
Associated Charities materially in its
work

PRAISES PLAN

With a view of protecting the we'll
disposed and benevolent residents of the
District from imposition by "fakers" who
solicit money for some alleged chari-
table purpose, the District Commission
ers have created charities indorse-
ment committee" The object of the
committee will be to investigate all ap-
peals for public subscriptions.
PERSONNEL OF COMMITTEE.
The committee will be composed of
Walter c. Clephane, of the Board of
Trade: Henry B. F. Macfarland, of the
Chamber of Commerce; W. w. Norman.
of the Retail Merchants Association;
Myer Cohen of the Board of Charities,
of Labor. The committee will meet at
the District Building, January 2, to So
lect a chairman, and effecting an organ
iZation
The plan is an excellent one" said
Commissioner Cuno II. Rudolph last
night. 1T is one that should have been
put in operation in the District many
years ago. l have advocated the Gre
alton of the committee for a long time
About five years ago, when | was presl-
dent Of the Board of Trade, l recommend
ed the establishment of such a commit
tee. but no action was taken in the mat
ter.
Similar committees have been formed
in many of the cities throughout the
country, and their effectiveness has been
fully demonstrated. The plan will rid
the city of the solicitors who make a
sympathetic appeal for some unfortu-
nate woman, whose respectability, ac-
cording to the solicitor, demands that
the name and address be kept secret.
There is no doubt but what there have
been many such takers working in the
District in recent years.
The committee will have no legal
status, but the plan will, nevertheless,
be broad in scope and exceedingly ef-
fective. While persons soliciting sub
scriptiOns for a fund which has not been
investigated cannot be stopped so long
as there is no visible fraud, it is GER
tain that most of the people of the city
will refuse to contribute in response to
such appeals. When approached. the
people will most naturally refer the
solicitors to the committee for investl-
cation.

AWAITING
THE DECISION
OF GOVERNOR

One of the saddest sights about
the state capitol in many day was
the visit of the convicted Banker w.
c. Morris, wife and child, from Port
land. They came up to Salem with
a number of friends and attorneys
to ask Governor West for a condi-
tional pardon, which was very eX-
tensively signed at Portland and else
where. The party had luncheon at
the Hotel Marion, and the banker sat
a great deal of the time in the hotel
lobby with his little girl in his lap,
the child playing and hobnobbing
with her father, innocent of all
knowledge of his impending fate.
The banker seemed as cheerful as a
man could be who does mot know at
what moment the word will be
spoken that will decide his liberty
and prison walls. The pressure in
this case has been ABOUT as great on
the governor as on the convicted
man, and the sympathy of the friends
was only clouded by the fact that
President Taft has so recently turned
down an application for pardons in
several cases of a similar character.
One of the petitions was presented
to Governor West this forenoon and
still others will be presented this
afternoon. The governor, when
questioned with relation to his action
on them late this afternoon stated,
until all the petitions and data with
regard to the case were presented TO
him that he cared to express no opin-
ion, but that he would announce his
decision tomorrow morning
time when the reprieve expires.
