SPECIAL MEET
OF CONGRESS
TO BE CALLED
Harding Plans Extra
Session in Mid
November.
By DAVID LAWRENCE.

(COpyrlgnt, lsl1, Dy Inc ArguS.)
Washington, D. c., Sept 16.-A
special session Of congress for the
middle of November just after the
elections is likely to be called by
President Harding. The president
wants ship subsidy legislation
passed by the house at least before
the regular appropriations bill of
the December sessions. The two
weeks Immediately after the No
lvember elections and before the
regular session begins would enable
the house to dispose of the mer-
chant marine measure by means Of
"a special rule. This would give
the senate something to work on
Immediately in December. Ordi-
narily the senate marks time during
the first few weeks of December
waiting for the house to organize
and pass appropriation bills. Mr..
Harding gave notice some time ago
in letter to Chairman Campbell
of the house rules committee that
Iif the ship subsidy bill wasn't
passed before congress adjourned
a special session would be called.
| The president recently wrote
house leaders that he would not
press the matter at this session as
the strike situation at the time
threatened to complicate the whole
Legislative program. His consent
ito postponement did not mean
abandonment of merchant marine
Legislation. On the contrary it was
deemed better strategy to wait until
after the November elections.
! The interjection of the prohibi-
tion issue had much to do with the
decision to postpone ship subsidy
Legislation until after the elections.
While the administration foresees
no difficulty in solving the matter
of liquor sales on foreign and
American ships touching the shores
lof the United States, it was con-
ceded that debate on the subject be-
i fore election might add unneces-
sary issues to the congressionay
campaign. The administration has
no fixed policy about the sale of

Washington, D. c., Sept 16.-
The citing of Sergeant John Will
ward, Greene, Washington's fam
GUS millionaire cop before the
police trial board on charges Of pa
trolling his beat in high priced
automobile, has led to general in
vestigation here to determine how
widespread this practice has
grown.
That the situation is regarded
seriously is shown by general or
der issued to the captains Of all
precincts by the acting superin-
tendent Of police and reading as
follows:
at. is reported to these head
quarters that precinct commanders
have been permitting men to go t.
and from their beats in automobiles
owned and operated by them, and
that in some instances patrolmen
have been permitted to use their
private automobiles in patrolline
their beats. Neither Of these prac-
tices is conducive to the best in
terests of the service and you will
see to it that they are not permit,
ted in the future.
Sergeant Is Millionaire.
you will construe this orde.
to apply to the sergeants as vel!
as the privates."
1t was the "sergeants" end of the
order that applied to the million
aire cop. Greene is reputed to be
worth nearly half million dol
lars, most of which he has made
since becoming a member Of the
force. His start to a fortune was
made in real estate investments
He began turning the money over
and over in various deals, he says
and each time it turned it grew
like a SNOWFALL running down hill
The sergeant is charged not only
with patrolling his beat in the
high powered machine, but Of leav
ing the beat. That is one grea1
trouble in allowing coppers to use
their limousines on duty. The
temptation to go away from there
to dash home for a bit of coffee OF
a plate Of soup often times is tct
great to resist. Sergeant Greene
admits riding in the automobile. HI
said he used it often to 60 to cour'
where he had cases to be heard
and that some times his wife drove
him about. Like all wealthy men
Greene has employed able counse
and will fight the charges against
him and defend the use of auto
mobiles by, coppers. Instead of in
terferring with their duties, he In
sists the machines are q great aid
to efficiency.

Chicago, Sept. 16.-Sixteen rail-
roads had signed separate agree
ments with various labor unions
today through pre-war methods in
vogue before the United States rail-
road labor board was created as
arbiter of disputes between rail-
ways and their employees.
These settlements, however, ac-
cording to Ben W. Hooper, chair
man of the board, do not repudiate
the board but rather are entirely
in accord with the transportation
act" When the disputes were with
drawn from the jurisdiction of the
board, the government tribunal be-
lieved that negotiations for settle
ments independent of the board
would be successful, Mr.. Hooper
said. ---.---4
His comment referred to yester-
days agreement between the New
York Central lines and>the train

pending peace negotiations.
Other Agreements Near.
Following settlement with the
Order of Railway Conductors and
the Brotherhood of Railway Train
men, the New York Central Lines

arate agreements with the engi-
neers', firemen and switchmen's
unions were in prospect, according
to officials.
The Pennsylvania System was
party to similar negotiations with
rail unions at Cleveland and Pitts

used entirely for the sixth, seventh
and eighth grade pupils.
Due to the unusual advantages
for higher education in that dis
trict, Mr.. Bassett says many fam
lilies are moving into the Gates
neighborhood and as result, the
school enrolment grew and has
been growing so rapidly, that the
district found 1t necessary to erect
a modern high school building
Mr.. Bassett also is proud OF the
fact that during the past month,
not one of the 40 pupils carried to
school by the two trucks has been
tardy or absent. And the safety
of such service, he says. is due to
the fact that the district engages
only experienced and cautious
drivers.

DONEY REVIEWS
DRIVE RESUL rs

In an article written by DR.. Carl
G. Doney, president of Willamette
university, for a paper printed in
Portland stating effects of the re
cent forward movement campaign.
he said:
''The movement has made many
new friends for Willamette. Thou
sands of people have informed
themselves about the school and
their gifts are evidence of ap-
proval of the university and Of the
high type of religious education
represented there"
AS a sort of aftermath of the
drive and using for example big
drives successfully completed by
other schools, DR.. Doney said that
he expected that there would be a
number of gifts and subscriptions
which would come entirely unso-
licited. He cites the instance Of a
man who appeared at the office
yesterday and said that he had not
been approached in the campaign
but wanted to be one Of the many
who had given. He left plede
with DR.. Doney.
AS yet the pledges have not all
been received and until after
the Christmas holidays it will moi
be possible to state definitely the
rmber Of subscribers. 1t was
estimated by the president that in
4l5m tnere were more than a
thousand pledges taken, The ma
jority of the pledges in Salem and
also over the whole state, pledges
of from $50 to $500 We're far in

that from all over the state there
were secured between four and

KOZER REPORTS
100000 TO Be
NECESSARY SOON

Approximately $S00,000 will be
needed for new buildings and ad-
ditions to the various state insti-
tutions to keep pace with the de-
mand for more space and more
adequate provision for the care of
the states wards during the next
two years, according to Secretary
OF State Kozer based upon esti-
mates made following personal
survey Of the needs. of the various
institutions.
This amount includes the $780,
900 already provided through di-
version of the quarter mill road
tax for the past two years for the
construction Of new plant for
the boys training school on the
cottage plan, project which was
postponed until provision could be
made for more suitable location
and for which an additional $780,
600 will be sought at the forth
coming legislative session.
The building program for the
next biennium also includes the
beginning of definite plan of
improvement at the school for the
blind where the wards Of the state
are now housed in an immense
frame building which is recog-
nized as veritable fire trap. 1t
is proposed, during the next BIZ
ennium, to construct a modern
fireproof building for dormitory
purposes, this building to fit in |
with well defined plan OF CON
jtruction which it is hoped to car
ry out to completion later.
A new open air pavilion is also
needed at the tuberculosis hospital
where the demand is always great
er than the ability Of the institu
ton to care for and which always
las q waiting list.
Completion of the two wings at
he eastern Oregon hospital for
he insane at Pendelton Is esti-
mated to involve the expenditure
If another $4,000 and at least
me small building will be asked
or state hospital for the insane at
salem to replace the only frame
now left at that institu-
ion.
Additional space is also to be
ought for the school for the deaf,
t is understood and the soldiers
lome at Roseburg is also in need
# more room.
All Of the building needs Of the
arious institutions have been
arefully Investigated by boths Sec
etary Of State Kozer and Gov
rnor Ritner, who have personal
Y inspected the different institu-
ions in their capacity as mem
ers of the state budget commiSm
ion. The 100000 included in \
he tax levy as promulgated by tht
.ate tax commission this week, H
u building and repairs, it is un- II

of the budget com N
ission but this amount, is it un- H
