Appointing Commission
Is Under Amusement

At the meeting of the board of con-
troll held yesterday afternoon concern
ing the appointment of the commission
provided by senate joint resolution No.
81 for survey of the delinquent and
dependent children in public and priv
ate institutions receiving the. support
of the state, the matter of appointment
was taken under advisement by the
board In behalf of certain people
whom they wished to have appointed on
this commission, DR.. E. j. Goode, of
Portland, representative in the Twenty
ninth session from Multnomah county,
and Mrs. Thomas Hawkes., also of Port.
land, appeared before the board.
The names suggested by DR.. Goode
and Mrs. Hawkes. were DR.. B. w. De-
Busk, University of Oregon; DR.. Sarah
Whitehead, DR.. r. j. Weatherbee, DR..
Eleanor Rowland, and DR.. Goode, of
Portland. According to DR.. Goode, the
purpose of the commission in making
the survey was to secure complete data
concerning the children in the institu,
tions so that information could be dis.
tributed to the voters in relation to
the proposed 100000 school for de.
pondents that is to be voted on at the
next general election.
In the opinion of Mrs. Hawkes., the
investigation of the commission would
reveal the proper places to put the chill

tutions Unfortunately.
There are about 1000 cases to be in.

Five e-Hundred- Dollar Fine is Also
Included in Sentence of
"Scimitar" Editor.
CoNvICTED IN U. S. COURT
Same Punishment for George Her
ring, Found Guilty of Violating
a Espionage Act.

Greenwood Nov. 13.-W. P.
Beard, of Abbcville, who was last
week convicted on two counts in
federal court here, was today refus-
ed a new trial by Judge Joseph T.
Johnson and sentenced to serve "a
year and day in the federal peni-
tentiary at Atlanta, and in addition
to pay fine Of $500.
Beard was formerly editor of a
small newspaper called the Scimitar,
the publication of which was begun
at Abbeville while Cole l.. Bleasc was
Governor Of South Carolina, and the
Scimitar and its editor were among
the staunchest supporters of Cover
nor Blease. Beard was a familiar
figure at many campaign meetings
while the now former Governor was
a candidate, and on at least one cam
paign he was looked upon as a men,
ber of Governor Blease's campaign
party.
In way, articles written by Beard
and printed in his paper have from
time to time caused some comment.
1t was well known that he was pro-
German in sympathy before the
United States entered the war, as
his editorials and verbal statements
showed. Some time after this coun-
try became an ally against Germany
Beard printed in his paper an edito-
rial under the caption "The Great
Fizzle," in which were references to
the administration that came to the
attention of the Postoffice Depart
ment resulting in his paper being de-
prived of the mail privilege. :.

Last Sunday morning aobut two
o'clock the alarm of fire was sent in
from the Oil Mill. The department
responded promptly, and after about
two hours work had the fire under
control. The mill having so much
overhead machinery in it made it
hard to get the water to the blaze.
The boys worked hard, and succeeded
in extinguishing it with comparative
ly little damage. We learn the dam
age was about $4,000 fully covered
by insurance. The plant if it had
been destroyed would have been a
loss Of approximately $150,000. Mr..

is very appreciative of the Manning

his gratitude he encloses a check for

Berlin, Jan. 7.-(BY Wireless to Say
ville). The battle for possession of
the southern bank of the lower Sc
reth river, in central Rumania, along
a thirty mile front, has been decided in
favor of the central powers after fierce
fighting, writes the military critic of
the Overseas News Agency, who points
out that the Teuton troops took Just
one month in forcing their way from
Bucharest to Braila, distance of 125
miles. The military critic adds:
The Russians were defeated and
lost their fortified field positions after
weeks of preparation on the southern
bank of the Sereth from where, ac-
cording to repeated announcements IN
the entente press, a counter offensive
was to have been launched. On a
front of ten miles, except for some
villages south of F'undeni. the troops
of the central powers reached the
sWampy districts and river bed of the
lower Sereth. The booty has not yet
been counted. battles are still go

ia armies which exercised a double

mercia1 town fell from the west and
the east against Braila, Rumania's
most commercial town fell into the
hands Of the central powers: 1t was
conquered after tenacious house-to-
house fighting.
In lust one month the forces of the
central powers traversed the road
from Bucharest to Braila, distance
of 125 miles, under continuous and
strenuous fighting The Danube town
with it's $1,000 inhabitants and impor-
tant and efficient locks, depots and ele-
vators offers an extraordinarily i'm

for the central powers. Danube ships
may now go from the heart of Ger

hand navigation by the Russians and
Rumanians on the Danube has been
completely stopped.
The extreme eastern point Of sup
port Of the Russo-Rumanian armies in
the Sereth position at Enalez already
is under fire. At Fundeni, the center
of the Sereth position, the troops of
the central powers are VIGOROUSLY go
