TELLS OF THE FIGHT.

Salem, Ore, Jan. 6, 1917
Editor Capital Journal:
Dear Sir.-My attention has been
called to an article that appeared in
your paper relative to a fight that was
claimed took place between my little
son, Halford Martin, and one William
Ward. Believing that you desire the
truth Of such matters I have made a
through investigation, and what l have
to say here Of what took place are the
facts as given me by disinterested Wit
nesses.
Before relating what occurred it may
be well to call attention to the partiei+
pators My son is only IA years old,
and has been under a physicians care
for two months for malaria, and Is IN a
weak physical condition. William Ward
is 16 years old and in good health.
Another boy, or more strictly speak
ing young man, Ward IS associate and
adviser, known by the name of George
Shuck, or some such name, is, as near
as I can ascertain, about 20 years old,
apparently enjoying good health.
On the afternoon of January 2 my son
was sent to store to get stove-pipe
that had been previously purchased, and
to buy butcherknife. While he was
purchasing the knife the Ward boy
came in and began trying to pick a
quarrel with my son. Halford told him
that he did not want any trouble with
him and to leave him alone, After pur-
chasing the knife Halford left the store
and started to come to my office on
Commercial street. He was followed by
Ward, who was immediately Joined BY
Young Shuck, or whatever his name is
All three walked together for over a
block. Ward and Shuck abusing Hal
ford calling him names and telling him

Senator Weeks is fine example of that class of poll
cans who being repudated by the people still insist
feated by overwhelming majority in his state which
at the time gave majority of its votes to the
president whom he attacked 1t will be from this
that the senator's remarks the expression of in
dividual opinion and did not represent his former

GETS BACK AT THE CLUB

Judging from his communication in the Oregonian,
Friday L Aronso was accused by the Portland Ad Club
of misleading advertising Of his business Anyway
whatever the charge Mr. Aronsons rather sarcastic
answer conveys the idea that to homey phrase the
Club b off more than it could chew" Speaking OF mis-
leading Advertising Mr. Aronson calls attention to the
stunt pulled off BY this same Ad Club last winter when
its members dressed in attire, marched through
Porands streets and had their pictures taken while
doing SO "as an advertisement of Oregons winter
climate" Another bit Of real pure, clean advertising
done BY this same club is mentioned by Mr. Aronson in
which the club used old picture taken before the
European war showing the Portland harbor filled with
ships when as matter Of fact there have been few ships
in the harbor since that date Reading MIR. Aronsons
statement causes one to believe the wrong party has
been hailed into court.
