Own Your Home
Campaign To Be
Launched Here

A campaign with "Own Your
Own Home, as its slogan, will be
launched Immediately by the Salem
Commercial club. 1t was decided
Wednesday night at the regular
open forum. A motion to that ef-
feet, introduced by Charles w. Me
meyer, was unanimously adopted.
Real estate men declared that it
costs no more to build a home than
it does to buy one already built. 1t
was felt that a great many more
persons would build or purchase
houses if they realized how simply
it can be accomplished. 1t will be
the object of the campaign to in
form residents and newcomers Of
their opportunities.
Real estate men agreed that
there is a great demand for houses
here. They believed that from 500
to 1000 families had been lost dur
ing the summer because they could
not find suitable houses in the city.
"A great many landlords have
old shacks which they are trying to
sell at high prices" one man de-
clared. He said that he knew of a
half dozen houses for sale, and
each was listed at about twice what
it would have brought a year ago.
This, he believed, was not right.
r. HOfer took issue with this
statement. He declared he thought
it compliment to the city to have
people buy the old houses at good
price. A community consciousness
is what we need" Mr., Hofer said.
"If people were educated up 70

If everybody would boost our in

In
N. Y. May Kill
Fighting Law

New York, Sept. 16.-The Walker
bill, which legalized boxing In New
York state. one Of the best laws
governing the ring sport ever
spread on the pages OF a statute
book, already has received some
heavy blows. Promoters, boxers
and boxers managers already have
started wrangling and fussing with
such effect that some fans are
wondering if the Walker bill can
usrvive a. full year.
New York ever has been hard on
its special privileges. They nearly
always have been abused. The
Frawley law, which permitted ten
round no-decision bouts, was killed
off quickly and effectively through
a row between promoters and box
ers. If wrangling continues the
Walker bill will meet the same fate
The walker law got a famous
start when Tex Rickard announced
he had leased Madison Square Gar
den and would conduct bouts there.
Richards long record of honesty in
boxing, his square dealing with
everyone he comes in contact Win
frightened the future OF boxing as
probably nothing else could have
done. His resignation from the In
ternational Sporting club. howeveT,
coupled with the fact that A.: u

undue attention. 1t was patent to

That, incident caused some won

Frank Francisco, one Of the
most able investigators OF the de-
partment Of justice, declared after
arriving on the scene that It was
his opinion that not bomb plot
but collision had been responsible
for the blast which rocked skycra-
pers, tore the fronts from office
buildings for blocks around and
scattered deadly missiles In all d.
rections.
The damage to the Morgan build
ing alone was estimated at $780,

other buildings. it was expected,
would total at least $500,00O more.

aster did not take the lives Of any

said that after comforting with
members OF the firm he had learn
ed that Mr.. Bacon was, slightly in
jured and also Junius Spencer Nor
gan, another official OF the COM
pany. Several employees were in
jured and one killed.
Mr.. Enright quoted firm mem
bers as stated that the blast assur-
edly came from the street and not
from within the building.
Streets Crowded.
The explosion came at time
when the canyons of lower New
York were thronged with hustiing
office workers intent only in crowd
| ing their way into lunch rooms
nearby.
| There was roar that was heard
far up Manhattan island and hun
dreds of persons were hurled to the
pavement. Cries arose and on Wall
street, paved with broken glass,
there gushed forth streams of blood
more fit for battlefield than
| Americas financial center.
One man was seen to sit up,
brush his hand over his eyes and
then topple over dead into the gut

lies OF three women and further on
more bodies, lying side by side with

circled by wire found by the pcisce

street and Hanover Square, apous
two blocks from the explosion. The
owner of the car, clerk In the
National City bank, called the po-
Ices attention to the box. which
he said he had not placed there
and was afraid to remove.
The first thing that occupied the
attention of the investigators were
wrecks of truck and automobile
at the spot from which the blast
was believed to have come.
