Rotary President
Speaks on Service
Before Lions Club

Carroll n. Perkins, president of
the local Rotary Club was the speak
er of the evening at the regular
weekly luncheon of the Lions he'd
last night at the Elmwood hotel.
He spoke on the subject of serv-
ice clubs in general, of the good
work done in the past, and the Won
derful things that might be accom-
plished in the future. He said that
really the three clubs in this city,
meaning Rotary, Lions, Kiwanis,
could be Classed as one, because they
all represented the same ideals, were
founded on the same principles. and
all functioned in a similar manner.
He remarked that there We're over
two hundred men in the three clubs,
and that each man understood and
practised to the best of his ability
the splendid ideas having birth with
in the bodies.
Mr.. Perkins mentioned a few of
the things that Rotary was doing,
and felt the Lions and Kiwanians
were doing things equally fine. One
fact, he remarked. that gave prom
Use of big things in the future, was
that all clubs today were making
strenuous efforts to organize other
clubs, thus adding greatly to the
service which may be rendered to
the public.
Mr.. Perkins talk was greatly ap-
preciated by everyone present. and
was greeted with hearty applause.

CITY GOVERNMENT !
WOULD TERMINATE
OPERA HOUSE LEASE

AT the regular monthly meeting of
the city government held last even
ing, Mayor Herbert C. Libby called
the attention of the members to a
number Of important matters relative
to municipal affairs.
Inc first thing to come up in his
address was the matter of the lease
OF the City Opera House, which has
occupied the attention of the city
government on several occasions. He
said in part:
The matter Of terminating the
present lease of the opera house was
referred to the committee on Public
Buildings and the Mayor. This COM
mlttee has considered the matter in
all it's phases.
When the committee was ready to
act it deemed 1t expedient that adj
d1tlonal counsel be employed. This
could not be done without the action
OF the City Council. AT the Septem-
per meeting, this was voted, and Mr..
Mark j. Bartlett was asked to assist
the City Solicitor. Conferences have
been held between the Mayor and Mr..
kelllher, between the city's counsel
and the Mayor, and between the
counsel of Mr.. Kelliher, the Mayor
and the City's counsel. In order. to
ascertain some facts in regard to the
contract between Mr.. Kelliher and
Mr.. Gray of Lewiston, j was obliged
to agree to hold in confidence GER
tain information regarding the con-
tract now existing between Mr.. Kel-
liner and Mr.. Gray. Certain over
lures have been made by counsel of
Mr. Kelliher, but the committee, after
careful considera ton, voted unani-
mously not to accept them.
The committee is strongly Of the
opinion that the people want to see
the opera house in the hands of the
people, and not in the hands of a
private citizen. There is no i'll feel
ing whatever between the committee
and Mr.. kelliher; the committee is
simply seeking to meet a ide-spread
demand that the opera house may be
freed from private control in order
that it may be used whenever it is
wanted by our citizens. Whether or
not the lease can be terminated will
be a matter for the courts to decide.
If the city succeeds in terminating
it. the purpose of your committee
will have been achieved; if the city
does not succeed in termina ting it,
the people will know that the COM
mittee has done its best. / believe
the lease can be terminated.

Many Congress
Seats Still in Doubt

New York, Nov. 3-(P)-Slowly
accommodating returns from yester-
days general elections developed so
many uncertainties that despite some
notable Democratic gains some of the
outstanding contests remained in the
doubtful column.
The Democrats not only reelected
Governor Smith in New York but
picked up one senatorial seat in
Massachusetts, defeating Senator
Butler, personal friend of President
Coolidge and chairman of the Repub-
lican national committee. Senator
Wadsworth of New York also ap-
peared to be in danger.
Two seats in the house of repre-
sentatives, one in Pennsylvania and
one In New York, had swung over
from the Republican to the Demo-
cratic column, but most of the con-
gressional districts which had been
debatable ground still were to re-
port.
On top of their victories in Massa-
chusetts and New York the Demo
Gratis were keeping their senatorial
candidates in the lead in Arizona
Missouri, Maryland, Oklahoma and
kentucky, although the returns were
not decisive. All of these states now
are represented by Republicans. In
all, the Democrats must pick up nine
seats to overturn the present Re-
publican majority in the senate.
In Indiana stirred in the closing
days of the campaign by charges OF
corrupt Republican-Ku Klux Khan
combination, Senators Watson and
Robinson, both Republicans, were
leading on incomplete returns, blu,
by comparatively narrow margins.

Tells of Talk with
Mystery Woman in
Trial of EVANGELIST

Los Angeles, Nov. 2.-P)-A new
witness who says she talked with
the mystery woman who occupied q
cottage at Carmel with Kenneth G..
Ormiston, fugitive radio man, today
entered the Aimee SempIe McPher-
son case when a letter was received
by District Attorney Asa Keyes from
Miss Alice M. Ammerer of Oakland.
Miss Ammerer in her letter de-
clared that the woman who occupied
the Carmel cottage last May was "a
religious woman"
The Oakland witness said she
spent two weeks In Carmel last May
and while out walking slipped in
front of the cottage which the state
charges Mrs. Mcpherson occupied
with Ormiston following her disap-
pearance last May.
The woman occupant of the cot
tage helped to pick her up and they
held q pleasant conversation which
turned to religion during which Miss
Ammerer was presented with a book
entitled 1.-THE Divine Plan of the
Ages for Bible Students" the letter
stated.
II took the book and opened it to
look at the first page" Miss Am
merer said. There was some writ
ing but before I could see what 1t
was she quickly took the book from
my hands and tore out the page,
saying 1 did not need that"
Investigators We're ordered to pro-
coed to Oakland at once to question
Miss Ammerer.
