DIR. TODD UNDECIDED
| REGARDING ACCEPTANCE

DR.. Edward H. Todd, vice.president
of Willamette University, who has just
been elected president of the Universi-
ty Of Puget Sound, Tacoma, Washing
ton, left last evening for the Methodist
conference. at Eugene, without having
definitely decided as to whether he will
accept the position.
He spent this morning in conference
with the bishops of this conference at
Eugene, and went through here this
afternoon on his way to Tacoma, where
he will confer with the conference in
session there in regard to accepting the
position.
While the people at Tacoma are very
anxious to secure DR., Todd as president
of the Methodist college there, he will
carefully consider the situation before
he accepts the position.
He has big campaign on at present
for a greater Willamette, and, with all
| the plans he has, nearing elimination,
| he will have no small difficulty in
tearing himself away from "old viii.
lamette,"
Prior to coming to Willamette he
held the position of field secretary OF
the University of Puget Sound.

HONEYMOON LASTS
ONLY FOUR DAYS

A story Of marrying man whom
she had known but nine days, and, who,
four days after the ceremony was per-
formed, left her was told on the wit
ness stand this morning before Circuit
Judge Galloway by Ella Jennings, slip
Of girl, the plaintiff in q divorce suit
against Albert Jennings.
Foru days after the ceremony, she
said, Jennings left and went to Mon
tana, and, after remaining away for a
week or so, telegraphed her to join him.
While she was in the midst of making
preparations to join her husband, Mrs.
Jennings testified, she received anoth-
er telegram not to come, and she has
not heard from her husband since that
time.
Before granting the plaintiff di-
vorce, Judge Galloway told her a few
things about the wrongs and mistakes
woman makes by marrying a man she
does not know. He advised Mrs, Jen-
nings that before she ever undertook
another step in the matrimonial circle,
she should be sure that her acquaint-
ance with her prospective husband is at
least a year or so in length, and that
before giving herself away to another
ihan, she should be a little bit more
than sure she knows what she is get
ting.

A Bower Of Beauty and Color

If you have not yet been out to the
fair grounds, take our advice and go,
that is if you like flowers. That is
about all there is to see yet. The new
machinery hall is completed and already
the exhibits are being gotten in and ar
ranged, but there, like everywhere else
in the big buildings, it is confusion and
clutter, boxes in all stages Of unpack-
ing, machinery just lying around loose,
but lots Of it, and general getting
ready for the big event which opens
Monday.
The flowers, though, are all ready
for exhibit, though they will be still
more beautiful during fair week, If
that is possible, because they have been

ever look any finer than they do right
now, for the simple reason that when
you see them you will not believe they
could be any more beautiful or luxuri-
ant.
AS you enter the grounds the first
thing that your eyes see, and about all
you care to see for a while is a great
bed Of King Humbert Gamma, seven or
eight feet high, with rich bronze leaves,
a setting of cleaning brown above
which rises a hundred bronzed spikes
each with a manner of mottled scarlet
blossoms wreathed around it. The ef-

other things, 1000 dahlias and over 400

others, just big blotches Of mixed color,
no two alike and each somehow just a
little more beautiful than the one you
saw qjust before. There are great beds
of these one on each side of the grounds

rear. Then there is a bed of tuberous-

was void, as he had no right to make it,
the situation as it appears now is there
is no police matron.
The mayor never had the authority to

right, has never appointed any one,

which was never legal, is now good, is
simply absurd. The only power that
had the right to appoint, has never act.

UNITED PRESS LEASED wIRn.l ]

Trenton, N. j., Sept. 24.-President
Wilson'S candidate for the Democratic
nomination as governor Of New Jersey
was victorious, as shown by complete
returns today from yesterdays state
primaries. The three nominations were
as follows
Democrtic-Fielder.
Republican-Stokes.
Progressive-Colby.
The Wilson Democrats won not only
on the gubernatorial nomination, but
on their choice of legislative ticket
and in the state committee contest.
The Progressives cast the smallest
vote at the primaries which Candidate
Stokes declared to mean that numerous
Progressives have returned to the Re.
publican fold. On the strength of this,
he predicted Republican victory at
the election.

City Of Salem Has no Legally
Appointed Police MatrOn

proved and became effective August ),
1913.
Since the amendment was passed no
appointment has been made, and Mrs.
Lynch has been acting as such police
matron. The question now arises, els
she the legally appointed police matron
of the city3" When she was first ap-
pointed the law or ordinance under
which her appointment was made was
declared by the city attorney to be
void, The council evidently believed
this, for it amended the ordinance to
cover the points made by the city at.
torney, and to make the ordinance fol.
low and agree with the charter.
1t follows that if the ordinance under
which the appointment was made was
illegal and void as the city attorney
said it was, then the appointment made
under it was void. From the time Of
her appointment until the ordinanc,
was amended Mrs. Lynch was, as W,
construe the law, acting without any
authority whatever. Her appointment
was void from the beginning and he
'acts as such police matron illegal.
