After it had been discovered that
Mr.. Funk had been assassinated> and
as soon as his body had been removed
to the house'there was a guard placed
at the bank. This was before there
had been suspicion attached to An
derson, but it was suspected that
there might be a motive of robbery
connected with the killing. Anderson
is said to have gone to the bank
where he took a box of private papers
from the vault and took them to his
house. They were found and turned
over to the sheriff when the arrest
vas made. The examination of the
bank brought out the fact that there
was something over. $4,000 in cash
in the vaults.

GOVERNORS WIFE
SHUT THE BILL OUT
Her Action Only a Coincidence, But
She Was II SChOOlmate of
Governor West.
UNITED PRESS LEASED wInE.l

Olympia, Wash, March Sat an
early hour this morning the road ap-
preparation bill of $2,0OO,OOO was liter
ally resting In the scrap heap outside
the governors mansion. 1t was kicked
out by Mrs, Ernest Lister, when Chief
Clerk Maybury attempted to serve it
on Governor Lister.
The bill was rushed through by both
houses after five o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon with the intention of placing
it, before the governor before midnight,
so he would have to act on it before
the session ends. As it now stands,
the limit Of five days within which the
governor may pass on a bill will ex-
pire a day after adjournment Of the
legislature
Governor Lister denies he lodged
the bill, declaring he was at his office
until $3.50, after which he took his
family out for an automobile ride. Mrs
Lister, late in the evening refused
Maybury and Representative McArdle,
chairman of the road committee, adj
mission to the mansion, saying 1t was
not the governors office and was not
the place for the transaction Of official
busliaS.

San Francisco, March S.-With the
announcement today of Senator Fred
G .Gerdes, just before he left for Sac
ramento, that he will do all in his
power to force an investigation by
the state of wages paid to women and
the relation of low wages to immoral

Senator Gerdes declared that he did
not want an investigation which could
be turned into an effort to fix min
imum wage for women, but one which
would force out facts and cause an
increase to be made by employers.

FRED CORBIN BADLY
CUT BY FRANK DAY

A fierce fight took place last night
about o'clock in rooming house on
Liberty street between Frank Day, an
ex-convict, and Fred Corbin, former
street vender. Both men were armed
with knives, according to the police,
and Corbin is now confined in the Sa-
lem hospital with a serious wound in
the left shoulder and lung.
The particulars of the fight cannot
be ascertained by the police fully as
yet, owing to Day maintaining silence
and Corbin being too weak to talk.
Last night however Corbln declared
to the officers that he called upon Day
in the latter's room to borrow a musi-
cal instrument. Day swore at him and
followed up with an attack on him
with a butcher knife. Then, states
Corbin, an unknown man broke
through an opposite door and hit Day
over the head with an AK, thus ending
the fray.

MANY GIRLS WORK
FOR $3.50 TO S4.OO
Millionaire HiIIman TeStifies
That Many Of His Girls
Get Less Than $5
FEELS THE RESPONSIBILITY
Pays Starvation Wages But Provides
Them Good Social Workers and
Plenty of Good Advice.

Chicago, March S.-The probers to-
day asked the coroner for a list of
women suicides who ended their
lives because they were unable to OBJ
tain employment, These cases are to
be exhaustively examined, so far as 1t
is possible to trace them.
Lieutenant-Governor 0Hara today
personally appealed to a group of en-
ployers waiting to testify to lend their
aid toward the passage of a law pro,
viding minimum wage of $12 weekly
for all women workers in Illinois.
Some promised to do so.
Edward Hlllman, millionaire owner
of a department store here, testified
today that he began life as a cash boy
at So per week. Asked as to the re.
lation between low wages and prosti-
tuition, he said:
IT don't know, but I believe the girls
will sell themselves rather than
starve."
Many Girls Get But $3.50.
Hillman said he employed 1917 girls
at an average weekly wage OF $S.7I
or these, 23 girls, he said, get $3.50,
81 and SIS. Others holding positions
below that of saleswoman get SO. Most
of the $3.50 girls, he said are em-
ployed at the request Of their parents.
"As the employer these girls
said Hillman, 81 feel a moral respon-
sibility We have social workers and
woman doctor to visit the girls and
see to their health"
Hillman said he had discharged i'm
moral floor walkers, and had their
names listed, 50 they could not obtain
employment at any other Chicago de-
partment store. He declared no wor-
thy girl could be held down because
one Of her superiors disliked her, and
denied positively that girls are black
listed at the local stores If they Of
Tended their employers.
Hlllman accepted the suggestion Of
oIlara, and promised to employ inves-
tigators on Monday to learn the truth
Of statements made by girls seeking
positions. He thought that from IS
to so per week was sufficient to sup
port a girl, but refused to answer any
questions as to the profits Of his
store.

Mixed.Up Mess,

Just what the row started over, is a
matter of conjecture to the police.
Both men tell dfferen. tales. Day
says Corbin hit him with the AK and
started the fight. When Desk Ser
geant Pholand arrived upon the scene,
he found Corbln and Day bleeding
from several wounds about the head
Corbin had received a slash in the loft
shoulder with a knife which was found
lying in a pool of blood on the floor of
Days room, The blade entered few
inches above the breast and ripped
downward for a distance of about four
inches and three inches deep. Tho
point Of the knife severed several
cords and It is thought by the physi-
clans attending him that the left lung
received cut. His forehead was also
lacerated above the right eye.
Day was bleeding from a cut over
the left eye and upon examination,
City Physician Miles discovered a bad
brulse on the mans arm. Day de-
clares he was hit with an ak on the
head and arm, but Dr. Miles Is Of a
different opinion, as neither Of the
wounds indicate that they were made

PIans NearIy Arranged.

The members of the Salem Board of
Trade and other prominent Salem peo-
pie are now working diligently to per-
feet the plans for the big celebration
A monster banquet in the Hotel Ma
rion has been arranged and the man
agement Of that hostelry Is aiding the
COMMITTEES on entertainment as much
as possible The decorating committee
composed Of VIM. McGilchrlst, Jr., j.
i. Stockton, f. w. Spencer, Theo
Roth, H. D. Patton, August Huckestein
Walter Stolz and w. A. Denton are ac-
tive In preparing Salem for the occa-
sion. The decorations will be the
most elaborate Of any ever before seen
in the city. In other words, this city
will receive "dolling-up" that will
surprise even its home people.
Providing the weather is favorable,
a speaking platform will be construct
ed on the east steps Of the court house
from which the addresses will be
made. Governor West has offered his
assistance in extending greetings to
the P. r, & e., and Mayor Sleeves has
advised the committees that he will be
glad to lend any assistance in his pow
er for the occasion. In the event the
weather will not permit of outdoor
addresses the speaking will be held in
the armory
Railroad officials will be on hand to
do their part and It is probable that
President Strahorn, Of the P. u. G e.,
will deliver a special address.
Although not definitely decided upon
there is probability that the Oregon
Electric and the Southern Pacific Co.
will offer reduced rates from points
through the state for those who desire
to attend the celebration. In any
event, the committees working on the
preparation for the eventful day, are
determined to make It one to be long
remembered and those failing to visit
Salem on March Is, will be missing
something very much out Of the ordi.
nary in the way of celebrating a nota.

"kids" And Traffic.

The smartest boy in the world
cannot be depended on for respon-
sible judgment in the handling of big
physical forces, of forces which mean
life and death according as they are
wisely handled, says the Waterloo
Courier. A boy on a bicycle was
killed in Burlington last week SIM
ply because he had no better judg-
ment or precaution than to blunder
in front of an automobile which, wit
nesses declare, was being driven eau
tiously and at moderate speed.
Familiarity breeds carelessness in
any sphere. A boy riding bicycle
may feel timid enough to be eau
tious the first few times he rides.
But frequent riding induces inatten-
tion and a week after he has his
wheel the boy is just as likely as
not to be whizzing around dangerous
corners with his neck occupied rub
bering at a dog fight $50 degrees in
the rear. A mature mind, trained
by experience. has will enough, as a
rule, to observe caution, but even
grown men, through familiarity,
lapse into habits of carelessness.
While it would be too extreme a
measure to keep boys from riding
bicycles in the street, it is foolhardy
if not insane to permit a mere kid
to drive an automobile. There Is a
state law forbidding boys under Is
to drive but it is either not enforced
or it is violated by escaping the at
tention of the police.
This law should be strictly adher-
ed to, but, aside from the question
of law, what devoted father could
permit his little son to risk his life,
to say nothing of the property repre-
sented by a good car, by command
ing tons of steel and wood with the
speed power of an express train up
on traffic-filled city streets? Does
not such laxity amount to crime?
