Work Nav
Cease On
Hospital

Unless delinquent pledges to the
new Salem hospital are forthcom-
ing within short time, work on
the new building being erected at
the end of Center street must
cease, according to Henry Mey-
ers, manager Of the building oper-
ations and In charge of the funds,
this morning.
Unless the second payment Of
these pledges are paid within a
short time so that we can meet
our bills further work on the
building will have to STOP" said
Mr.. Meyers this morning. "It is
up to the people whether or not
we shall continue with our build
ing for which we have been striv-
ing for so long"
The hospital has a large num-
ber of outstanding bills which
must be met at once. The con-
tracts for the installation Of heat
ing fixtures, plastering and paint
ing must be let before construc-
ton can go further and the asso-
citation is urging that all who
have not done SO recognize their
pledges.
Fifteen thousand dollars is esti-
mated as sufficient to keep up the
work on the building and com
plete the top floor, work on which
is now under way. About $2S,0O
has already been spent since the
hospital was started last July.
The second payment Of the
pledges was due sometime ago,
but have not been forthcoming in
many instances.
When the hospital is complet-
ed the entire cost including the
operation room and heating plant
will be approximately SIPS, 1000.
It is the plan of the building com
mittee to erect only one unit first
which will cost close to $4,000
taking in the cost of the heating
plant and operating equipment.

Acheson Talks To
Realtors On Irish
Past and Future

That the internal problem
which involves the settling Of
promises made by the weather
class to the lower classes, to per-
suade them to fight for Irish free
don is yet the greatest problem of
that country, was the assertion of
Rev. Thomas Acheson in his speech
to the Marion County Realtors as
sociation this noon in the Marion
hotel.
"Give us what you promised, the
servant class will say, when this
question is settled" said Rev.
Acheson, "and Ireland will be un-
able to keep one of its golden
promises it made to those who did
the fighting"
In regard to the future govern
ment Of the island, Mr.. Acheson
said that Ireland would be a free
state having a dominion form of
government without Ulster which
believes that its prosperity lays in
staying with the union, and that
in grating such d form Of gov
ernment England would bear no
resentment toward the Irish peo-
pie.
Describing conditions which he
saw there a year ago Rev. Acheson
stated that crime was prevalent
everywhere and that it was neith-
er the British government or the
Sim Feiners that suffered but the
public which was continually
threatened and fined by one or the
other factions.

J. ". Fruit Wins
Jury Verdict In
$3.50 Damage Suit

A second verdict in favor oil the
defendant in the case was return
ed this afternoon by the jury in
Judge Kelly's court in the damage
suit of Rose Ella Schwartz VS.. j.
V. Fruit for $3.50.
The important question OF the
suit was that whether or not the
1919 law governing the highway
required all vehicles including
wagons and buggies to carry a
rear light at night. Judge Kelly
ruled that it did not, though the
1921 law expressly requires all We
bicles travelling on the main high
ways to do so.
The suit was the result OF an
accident on the Pacific highway
sometime before the 1921 law
went into effect, when the plain
tiff ran into the defendant who
was hauling a load of grain along
the highway after dark without a
rear light.
