teD''e's D'p Hundred,
There is only one fair way 10
find out what Oregon dry will do
for Oregon. That is by invesu'
eating what Oregon dry has done
for those parts of Oregon now
dry. ;.
So far as can be learned IN
Salem, Oregon City, Roseburg,
Albany, Eugene and other Ore
pon dry towns, business has been
better in all lines, save that OF the
saloon, in every dry town.
WHY. even in Pendleton. which
voted wet after being dry, but
which will probably vote dry, many
merchants are now in favor oil
dry town and declare collections
were better, business better ana bad
debts fewer when the town was dry
Building Now Better.
In Salem, building has been
greater since the town went dry.
There are but few vacant houses,
and those vacant are described as
"shacks." Practically every saloon
has been re-tenanted by other lines
of business, and one of the princi-
nal saloonSsites has been replaced
by a fine new building block.
Since Salem Went dry u $4,000
brick building has been erected and
a $4,000 business block is going np.
Doesn't look rs if dry Salem hurt
that town, does il?
Better Building Results.
Salem went dry January 1. 1914.
The building permits for the first
eight months OF 1913. when the
town was wet, total S3SS.925. For
the first eight months of 1914 they
were s422,3S5, an increase OF
3,460.
Another instance of a dry town
helping businessl Absence of the
saloon always means better busi-
ness, for the money that once went
10 the saloon goes into trade.
Checks cashed once in saloons are
cashed in stores-and part'of them
are spent there. in place of in the
saloons.
There were 254 arrests for the
first seven months of 1913 In Salem
for drunkenness; in 1914 the ar
rests totaled only AZ for the same
cause.
Stores Enlarge Premises.
The three largest stores have had
10 remodel their premises because
of increased business. when other
towns-wet at that--have been COM
planning.
In Oregon City arrests have de-
creased 60 per cent.
Violations of the state liquor laws
tbootlegging and so forih), are now
less than onc-half.
You see the saloon men never
used TO obey the LAWN dry
town they have TO obey IL.
Bank Deposits Increase.
Deposits in the banks have in
creased. There is more building
Bad debts are being cleared up.
Collections are easier. Not one mill
check has been cashed In saloon.
All business men say trade Is bet
ter.

Why the cry has come from all oDer
Oregon for a dry foDn.

When 1t came TO selecting men TO
paint the quarters yesterday Mr.. White
volunteered to boss the gang. 1t was
found necessary to obtain men OF
steady nerve for painting the ceiling
over the airshaft, which is four stories
high from the cement floor below.
Last night the warden found that
White and his gang had done more
work than all the other prisoners prt
together. and they will be kept on the
Job until the whole interior Of the Jail

increased when the counter weights
dropped from the top OF the shaft to the
bottom with a terrific crash.

WOOD DEFENDS HIS
INTERBORO RECORD
Commissioners Says He Got
Only His Due for Work
on Bronx Road.

Robs,t Colgate Wood. appointed Pub
lie Serylce Commissioner to succeed john
e. Euutis, issued long statement yester-
day in reply to an article in morning
paper that attacked his qualifications for
the place.
It was pointed out that Mr.. Wood had
been one Of the organizers OF the New
York City Interborough Railroad In The
Bronx. He acknowledged, In suit
brought to get a certificate Of convenience
and necessity from the old Railroad Com
mission in 1903, that he had received Sl,-
100000 in stock of the company, $4,000 In
bonds and payments in cash Of $4,000
and $4,000. II was also stated that ne
gave 10000 shares OF stock to person
whose name was never made public. Al!
this was supposed to be for work done
in getting the franchise through and for
other services rendered to the company.
"Out of the stock and bonds received
by me-" said Mr.. Wood, in his statement
yesterday, Il met a great variety OF ex-
penses during the five years contest on
the franchise of the company. There
were its rights Of way, consents Of prop
erty owners ana thousdiiu otHci uee"i'o'
including fees OF counsel, engineers, ex-
perts, etc. represented a syndicate
which was prepared to construct the road
when 1t was determined to sell out to the
marlborough Rapid Transit Company.
The resultant profits. after meeting all
the expenses referred to, were divided
among the members of the syndicate. l

10000 shares. I only know that | re-
ceived and retained no larger amount
than I was legitimately entitled to-"
Chairman Mccall Of the Public Service
Commission said he did not see that 1t
made any difference whether or not Mr..
Wood was a bona fde resident OF The
Bronx. He had known him for many
years and believed him man OF the
highest character.

HANGS FROM ROOF BY FOOT
Workman's Life Saved by Rope
as He Falls Off Theatre.

I'm one lucky Dutchman, all right,
said Caspar Weiss, eipe filter, whose
foot caught in a rope as he volplaned
off a theatre in Jamaica yesterday az
ternoon, saving his life and suspend
ing him few feet above the street.
Weiss was putting an arc light UP
on the front wall of the theatre, when
he lost his hold on a rope fastened to
the roof. AS he fell the rope took a
half hitch around his ankle AMI
brought him up with a snap just as he
was bidding the world goodby.
A crowd of villagers formed and
stood looking up at Weiss as he dan
gled over the sidewalk. The pipe fit
ter, calm till then, lost his temper.
Hey, you" he yelled; "get ladder.
Do you think l want to spend the day
here?'
Two policemen climbed up and low
cred him to the street.

ASK EXEMPTION OF
F. T. MARTIN ESTATE
Society Mans Heirs Assert His
Legal Residence Was
in Paris.

The estate of Frederick Townsend Mar
tin, society man and sociologist, who died
March in London, will make an effort
TO induce the State Controller to exempt
It from payment OF transfer tax on the
ground that at the time Of his death his
legal residence was in Paris, and not in
New York. There will be a great advan-
tage to the legatees II this contention Is
upheld, for in France the inheritance tax
is much smaller than here
The effort to establish the fact OF Mr..
Martins residence became known yester-
day when Thomas f. Rush. attorney for
the State Controller. issued waivers TO
John b. Pine, attorney for the Metropoli-
tan Trust Company. executor OF the will.
Pine made an affidavit that the testator
had been a resident Of Paris for twenty
years, living there at 4s Avenue Gabriel
He also had an apartment at the Hotel
Plaza in this city.
The will has been admitted to probate
in the Surrogates' Court. 1t made several
public requests. including a collection Of
armor to the Metropolitan Museum Of
Art. Several nephews, nieces, grand
nephews and grandnieces received be-
quests, the residue of the estate being left
to Howard Townsend Martin, a brother
OF the testator.
Mr.. Rush said yesterday that he would
endeavor to prove that Mr.. Martin was a
resident OF New York. for all his public
activities had been here. The attorney
also makes a point OF the fact that Mr.
Martin did not make a single bequest to
any society or institution in the French
capital
Among the securities held by Mr. Mar
tin were shares Of the Standard Oil,
Northern Pacific. Metropolitan Trust Com
pany and the Ainslee Magazine Company.
