FACES GRAND JURY
Must Testify as to White Slav-
cry and Pandering Cases
in Los Angeles.
1T is A VERY NASTY MESS
Bixby, Pale and Agitated-Two 9th
ers Indicted Charged With a
Statutory offense.
UNITED PRESS LEASED WIRE. ]

Los Angeles, Cal, April 2S.-After
weeks mysterious absence, George
H. Bixby, multi-millionaire banker and
land owner, of Long Beach, waited
vainly throughout the morning today
for summons to testify before the
grand jury that is investigating white
slavery conditions here.
Accompanied by his attorney, Oscar
Lawler, Bixby made his way to the
grand jury chamber, where he reported.
He then surrendered himself to Judge
Reeves, who had issued a bench warrant
for his arrest, when he failed to heed
a subpoena to testify in the preliminary
hearing Of Mrs. Josie Rosenberg,
charged with pandering Lawler asked
for time to prepare defense, and was
given until May 6, at which time Bixby
was also ordered to reappear to testify
in the Rosenberg case.
Bixby was pale and was greatly agi.
tated when he appeared at the court
house. With Lawler running before
him and trying to clear the way of re-
porters, he hurried through the corri-
dors, Lawler charged into one group of
photographers with raised fists, After
leaving Judge Reeves court, Bixby and
his attendant once more ran the gaunt.
let to secluded room in the federal
building, where he waited to be called
before the grand jury.

ary examination on a charge Of con-
tributing to the delinquency of Marie
Brown-Levey, aged II, was released to-
day under 5000 bail.

There was a big family reunion at
Dallas Sunday when, for the first time

got together, father, mother, four boys

counting that part of the family an.
nexed by marriage. Two of the boys
and two of the girls sang at the Metho.
dist church services, giving two quar-
tets and two solo numbers, which had
the rather unique distinction of being
laudly applauded and heartily encored,
which is something decidedly new, in
church music. The typographical error

BANQUET WILL Be
GIVEN HERE TONIGHT
Plans for Final Work in Securing $780,
900 in Salem for Willamette VIII
Be Made.

The Marion Hotel is to be overcrowd-
ed with Willamette spirit and enthusi-
asm this evening, when the Marion
county subscribers to Willamette's en-
dowment fund gather at that hostelry
for a banquet provided for them by the
campaign committee.
An effort has been made to present
every male person who subscribed to
the $65,0O0 raised in Salem last spring
ticket to the banquet to be held this
evening.
Those who attend are not to be asked
for money, but the object of the meet
ing will be to present the plans for the
future of the institution, and finding
out how those citizens of Salem and
Marion county who have taken enough
interest in the future of the local uni
versity to subscribe to the endowment
feel concerning the different questions
that now confront those in charge Of
the campaign.
A large number Of citizens have
stated that they did not want to see
the campaign for completing the $780,
900 in subscriptions from Marion coun-
ty go over another year, and it seems
almost imperative that the offer Of SEN
ator Booth to give $4,000 to the build
ing fund when 100000 had been sub.
scribed to the endowment fund be ac-
cepted soon as the offer has been stand
ing for some three years,
The essence of the whole matter is
this; will Salem so arrange endowment
funds as to receive $4,000 in building
funds now, or will the receiving of this
amount be put off until some distant
datea The loyal support of all Marion
county will be necessary if these funds
are secured now.
Plans to Be Outlined.
The purpose OF the meeting will be
to enlighten those vitality interested in
the future of the institution, of the
great plans that will soon mature if
proper support is given and to secure
their assistance in spreading this infor-
nation by means of a novel advertising
scheme which they have devised. A
large chart explaining the situation will
be in evidence.
The fact is that the half million en-.
dowment must be obtained by June or
certain large gifts now pending will be
withdrawn, and the reaching of the mil
lion.dollar endowment pushed farther
out into the distant future.
The meeting this evening will be a
general good time, .gether meet
ing Willamettes famous glee club will
sing, and Willamette spirit and songs
are expected to be much in evidence.

IMPORTANT CHANGE
IN RECALL MEASURE
Amendment provides II shall Require 25
Per Cent Of Entire Vote Cast, In
stead Of Officers Vote.

An important amendment to the re.
call ordinance, introduced in the city
council last week, will be recommended
by the committee tonight. The original
ordinance provided that a petition Of
20 per cent of the vote cast for an Of.
ficial would be sufficient to secure a re.
call election. This has been amended
to provide that 25 per cent of the en-.
tire vote east for the office will be re-.
quired. It is pointed out that there
might be four candidates for the office
Of alderman, and the winning man
might win by a vote that would be com.
paratively small Twenty-Five per cent
of the winners vote would be only
small percentage Of those in the ward,
