PROGRESS REMOVES
HISTORIC BUILDING
OF CAPITAL CITY

the old ladies now, but the young ladies
then, rave over her creations and the
husbands over the bills. Personally |
always thought Mrs. Vierani's hats
very clever
Joseph Vierani died September s.,
1877, and left his twothirds interest in
me TO his son, Louis, and his daughter,
Annie.
After Mr.. Vierani died l remember
that Joseph Fontaine, Maurice Klinger
and Eugene Eckerlen came to me and
told me that they had come to appraise
me. What an honor | thought to be
appraised and by three such good natur-
ed men. Ach du lieber.
The cheapest | have ever been sold
for was when Mrs. Vierani decided her
interest in me to her daughter, Annie,
for one dollar / really can't explain
idea to let me go at such ridiculous
pricee
Once I was leased but I didn't know
it at the time. On April 81, 1910. the
Vieranis leased me to Mr.. A. L. Ruther-
ford for period of rs years. However,
this condition did not last long for on
the fourth of the following March I
was released to the Vieranis.
Then came the day when ! was to
sell for the highest price ever paid for
a lot in Salem and to bring my fir
owners prediction to a reality. Again
l feel that it is to be regretted that
Mr.. Wilson cannot be here to see and
know all that / have been permitted
to experience. The great day of my
existence was June l, 1911. That
day l was bought by Wm. McGilchrist
and VIM. McGilchrist, Jr., for the mag
nificent sum of $4,000. Wasn't that
grand priceP 1t may sound vain. in
me in saying it but really think that
I am worth twice that amount. Just
see who owns meg
Billy promised me only yesterday
that he was going to put up a better
building than l had ever had before
and besides to give me nine foot base
ment. And after while, he says, he is
going to erect still better building,
something grander than anything here
in the city, just like the miniature one
the boys in jest put up on the o.
building on tn corner during recent
Cherry fair and nicknamed "McGil-
christ's Dream. "
My breast heaved with pride the 9TH
er day when looked up and saw many
men and boys lined up on the sidewalk
by my side watching the excavation
work.
And though I do not feel that my
glory is come to a climax should like
to mention, and confess that I am
proud of it, the bonfire the Salem high
school students honored me with few
nights ago, Could they have selected
a more prominent or conspicuous spot
in all of Salem for their celebration
think not. want to thank the SEN
iors for their high tribute.
When have my new crown which
the McGilchrists have promised to give
me, let us hope that the good example
set, and set by the way in the most
trying times Salem has ever known,
may be followed by others and that the
work of upbuilding, identifying and
boosting Salem will not stop but go on
for the next so years faster than it has
for the past so when the first papers
regarding my identity were filed.

Falconer Not Surprised.

Tacoma, Wash, Nov. 27.--The arrest
at San Francisco of G. G. Crowley, in
connection with Pacific coast war plots
caused no surprise today to Raleigh
Falconer, in Jail here on a smuggling
charge, who yesterday made state
ment asserting he had been offered
$500 to assist in blowing up a dyna-
mite laden barge in Seattle harbor. In
his statement to the newspapers, Fal-
coner admitted he had worked here
with Walter J. Brown, alias Lewis J.
Smith, who supplied the information
which led to Crowley's apprehension.
He declared the leader Of the alleged
conspiracy band was still on the Pa
cific coast, although declining to name
him. When informed later Of Crowley's
arrest, Falconer exclaimed; ~ knew

Consul Makes Advances.

San Francisco, Nov. 27.-Geman
Consul Franz Bopp employed G. @.
Crowley, investigator for District At.
torney Fckert and former Southern Pa.
cific detective, charged with being an
anti-ally bomb plotter.
This much loomed up as q certainty
in the case today. Crowley confess
ed it; Bopp admitted it after having
previously denied.
Both, however, disclaimed any guilty
action by Crowley. Crowley said his
work was in tracing the activities of
allied agents in this country. Bopp de-
clared he was engaged chiefly in fer
reting out British recruiting here -
not at all, in getting information as to
munitions shipments.
Crowley was angered at intimations
that he had confessed to part in the
nationwide bomb plotting His life,
he said had been open, his deeds lawful
Anyone claiming differently, he allow
ed, should be tarred and feathered.
Meantime, he was out on bail, while
federal officials sought to run down
data to connect him with "higher
ups"
Bopp justified his employment Of
Crowley on the ground that the British
consulate had engaged Pinkertons.
Moreover, he added, none of Crowley 's
work had been other than legitimate.
Release of Crowley on $4,000 bail for
trial December 3 seemed likely today.
The government insisted on q surety
company bond but arrangements were
under way to get it.
Thus far Crowley processes not to
be worried over the situation and in
fact, he jocularly suggested he would
take off his coat and assist the investi-
gators to get at the bottom of the
whole bomb conspiracy.
Crowley's attorneys supplemented his
statement with an announcement that
Crowley had Travelled extensively for
the German consul and had borne i'm
portant documents eastward, as well as
engaging in collecting munitions data.
He denied emphatically, however, that
Crowley had been guilty of any overt
acts whatsoever.

Change In Tactics.

Los Angeles, Cal, Nov. 81 The
change of tactics ON the part of Dis
trict Attorney Woolwine stirred re.
newed interest in the Schmidt murder
trial here today. Within few days
the question of connecting the so.
called nationwide dynamiting conspir-
acy with the wreeking of Los An
geles newspaper plant, will come up
for ruling by the court
If evidence on the eastern activities
is barred, much of the wind will be
taken out of the prosecution sails, it is
claimed. Scores Of witnesses have
been brought here from the east to
identify METERS and documents, and
then testify if the documents are ad-
mitted in evidence.
Now, District Attorney Woolwine has
suddenly changed his attack. Instead
of calling clerks and stenographers to
identify additional evidence, former
alleged dynamiters on the stand are
telling of their "jobs" in the east.

Movement Irregular
On Stock Exchange

Copyright 1915 by the New York
Evening Post.)
New York, Nov, 27.-Movement of
prices on the stock exchange was again
irregular and desultory today. Not
much was said about new railroad
stock and bond issues, announcements
of which in the past day showed to-
tai of $0G,000,000, as possible influ'
ence on the market. In fact, however,
the issues were welcomed by both the
stock and money markets, for the
movement will have a bearing on all
industrial markets supplying railroads.
With speculation halted, with money
at an almost unprecedentedly low level,
and gross earnings breaking records,
the borrowing companies would at least
seem to have chosen the psychological
moment for these issues.
All markets-stock, wheat and cot
ton--relapsed into lassitude which
follows the upheaval Of speculation.

PROHIBITION PROGRESS.

About two years ago Mr. William
Jennings Bryan gave a diplomatic din

ticularly by the absence of wine. I'm
mediately the world burst into q roar
Of laughter; Europeans, especially,
hailed the proceeding as an amusing
illustration Of American provincialism.
A few r:onths ago the king Of England
announced that he would himself ab-
stain from alcoholic drinks for the rest
Of the war. and that wines would no
longer be served in any of the royal
households. Nine American states
have adopted prohibition in the last
eight months. France has legally for
bidden the manufacture and sale Of
absinthe. and the Russian empire is
dryer" at the present moment than
Kansas or Maine ever were. Facts
like these testify to the progress that
the cause Of antialcoholism has made
IN less than a year. When the leader
OF the most sophisticated society in
Europe follows the example of our
own somewhat homespun secretary Of
state, the cause of teetotalism has
ceased to be ridiculous.
