Fan1ilyHa
Lone CHAIR;
AidSOMght

What old furniture have you
about the house that you can
spare?
CAPTAIN Watson, of the Saliva
tion Army, is asking that ques-
tion of all the Salemites he meets
today.
Yesterday Captain Watson was
called to an unnamed Salem home
to see what could be done for the
relief of the family, a man, his
wife and two children. He found
them near destitute, and has ar
ranged to care for all of theiI
needs except one.
In the room where Captain and
Mrs. Watson interviewed the
members of the family there was
but one chair. Mrs. Watson sal
on that, and Captain Watson on
box. The rest of the house was
as nearly bare of furnishings.
Now Captain Watson is seeking
furniture for the home and he asks
your help. If you have anything
to give telephone 1920 and a rep.
reseutative of the Salvation Army
will call and get it.
The family recently came to Sa-
lem from Washington city
where the father was employed
and was buying home on con.
tract. Then he was taken down
with influenza and was unable tt
keep up the payments and tht
home along with everything else
the family possessed was lost.

Following adjournment Of courts
one Of the jurors is said to have
stated that the final ballot was
seven to five for conviction. Ar
guments in the jury room during
the night are said to have been
quite heated. United States At
torney Lester w. Humphreys re-
fused to comment ON the verdict,
and said he did not know what
the next move of the government
would be. The government may
request postponement of another
trial for Todd pending the capture
of Carlos L. Byron. Todd took the
verdict calmly, as if he antici-
pated it when he found the jury
had been out all night and not re-
ported. He left the court room
smiling in company with his at
torney, Charles w. Robson.
Three Charges Made.
The charges on which the jury
returned its verdict all allege use
of the United States mails to pro-
mote a fraudulent scheme. Todd
was indicted with Carlos l.. BY
ron, ex-convict and fugitive from
justice. Todd was tried last No
yember on four similar charges,
the jury acquitting him on three
and disagreeing on the fourth. He
has been tried during the past
week on the one count Of the old
indictment, and on two counts of
a new indictment returned since
the last trial.
The old indictment includes the
e. G. Miller $500 check which
went through the mails from the
Salem to the Lexington bank.
Miller had his money returned by
Todd, so he lost nothing,
The first count of the new In
dictment covers the George N.
Ausman $500 check drawn on an
Albany bank, and went through
the uldll5 lOL COllGtLIOu.
The second count Of the new in
dictment covers the $500 check
of Mrs. Ruth Westfall Johnson,
Eugene school teacher, which was
drawn on Eugene bank and went
through the mails for collection.
Todd's Son Sick.
To Todd's trials Tuesday was
added the sickness Of one Of his
boys. For the first time during
the course Of the two trials, Mrs
Todd was not at his side. Monday
night when Mr.. and Mrs. Todd ar
rived at their little ranch three
miles back OF Vancouver, they
found that one of their little red
