Old Folks Home
Here Benefits
By Will Decision

According to a decision of the
county judge in Clackamas county,
the Old Flks Home at 18th and
Ferry streets in Salem is to he ono
of the beneficiaries in the will left
by the late Mrs. Rachaei rnnIps %
Oregon City.
Mrs. Phillips left an estate valued
at $4,000 and bequeathed the
money to the Baptist church in
Oregon City the Old Folks Home
in Salem and the Multnomah nor
NAL school to be equally divided
among these institutions. The will
was read some time ago, but a sis
ter of the deceased. Mrs. Rebecca
Turney. instituted proceedings in
Clackamas county to contest the
will. The case came up before
Judge Anderson some little time
ago and after hearing the evidence
he took the matter under advise
ment. The last matter of business
transacted in his office on the last
day of the year, 1920, was to de-
clare the will valid. No mention
of relatives was made in the will
recorded. Now that the case has
finally been decided the institutions
will soon be able to secure the aid
given by the deceased woman.

Eugene Breaks
Relations With
Salem School

Stating that he was convinced
that relations had better be sew
cred between the two schools, G.
e. Finerty, principal of the Eugene
high school. has written to Princi-
pal j. c. Nelson, of the local school,
replying to a second request of the
Salem basketball team for games
this season with the Eugene five.
Relations between the two
schools became strained at the time
that the Salem and Eugene foot
ball teams played in the latter city
during the past season. The local
boys were evidently unaware that
any hard feeling still existed and
the letter from Mr., Finnerty came
as a complete surprise.
Eugene's principal grievance
seems to be an article appearing in
the December Clarion in which
Robert Littler, editor, discussed
school spirit and made a few point
ed remarks about the attempt of
several Eugene students to pick a
fight" at the depot after the game.
Mr.. Finnerty, while acknowledging
that he did not witness the rumpus
admits that one of his pupils re-
turned to the school worse for
wear"
The matter has been referred to
the student council and will prob
ably be taken up at the regular
student body meeting Thursday.

Ratification Of Peace
Treaty With Covenant
Dropped Again Urged
Senator King Introduc es Resolution to End
War Officially Without Involving United
States in Articles Gre ating and Sustaining
League of Nations

Washington, Jan. s. - Senator
King, democrat, Utah, introduced
today his resolution proposing elm
nation of the covenant of the
league of nations from the peace
treaty and ratification OF the
amended treaty. The resolution
said it was imperative that the
acceptance by the United States OF
the terms of peace with Germany
be no longer delayed"
The existence and discharge of
functions by the league and its
members, it was said, its not in
compatible with the interests or
the United States.
"It is obviously impossible for
the senate to agree at this time up
on any acceptance, amendment or
revision of the articles of the trea-
ty constituting the league OF ma
tions," said Senator King, There
are many who contend that the re-
cent election was a reputation OF
the league, though it is morally
certain that few million electors
voted for Mr.. Harding who are in
favor sof the entry of the United
States into the league of nations
when the articles are modified, Se-
vised and amended in certain re-
spects. A candid view of the pres
ent situation indicates that the only
practical course now open is to
ratify the treaty expressly except
ing articles which set up the league
of nations"

tary for the state board of health

ton from Portland which called on

Tuesday declined to interfere with
the functions of the state board of
health in the appointment of a
secretary, reiterated this stand this
morning when informed that still
another delegation was on it's way
from Portland to the capital in an
effort to carry the the appoint
ment over the heads of the state
board.
"All qualifications being equal I
certainly favor the appointment of
an Oregon man and all qualifica-
tions again being equal I should
certainly favor the appointment of
an ex-service man to the position
but I certainly shaall not inter-
fere with the state board of health

governor declared. 81 appointed

cause of the confidence I had in

with letters from persons inter
ested in the candidacy of DIR. Adele,
many of these letters coming from
women's clubs throughout the

to the fact that the terms of three
of the members of the board would

Abolition Of Old AL
lance and N e W
Agreement

Toxic, Jan. 5.-The post t-holiday
period is witnessing a resumption
by the press of the disarmament
discussion in which consideration
of the Anglo-Japanese alliance
plays a prominent part.
The Osaka Asahi Shimbun has
come out in advocacy of the aboli-
ton of this alliance as means of
reaching an understanding with
the United States. 1t argues that
England's post war policy is direct
ed toward an understanding with
America, England no longer having
need of Japan as an ally and pro-
Americanism becoming the basis of
her policy. The United States may
not reciprocate the newspaper COM
ments but nevertheless Japan, 1t
says. should realize the futility of
relying upon England. If Japan
and England desire to restrict arm
aments, it argues, it is essential
that they eliminate the alliance,
which has the effect of arousing
American suspicion and its advices
the foreign office to reconsider its
practice of pivoting its policy on
that alliance.
LET us abolish the alliance II
adds, land then talk to America
face to face, with open minds"
The Jill Simpo urges the reduc-
ton of the japanese army by half
but it claims that the naval plan
calling for completion of eight bat
tleships an eight cruisers by 1926
was fixed years ago and is outside
the naval race"
