It Is almost certain, however, that If the president Is granted an Increase In salary, the law allowing him his travelling exppnses will be repealed.

Is Opinion in Oakland Regard ing Prof. Sawyer ALL HIS MONEY AND CLOTHES Taken With Him Wbcn He Departed For Holiday "Duck Hani" in California Special to th Evening Review, KKD ULUKF, Calif., Jan. 7. Members of the local Masonic and Odd Fellows lodyej, who have been searching here for Prof. Geo. Saw yers, the miming principal of the Oakland, Oregon, schools, And that he left Red Hluff on Dec. 30, accom panied by a boy aged about 16 yearn, who is unknown in thlB city. A gun borrowed hero was returned the same day. It is supposed that he boarded train at Marysville and went to Willows to continue hunting. Reports from Oakland today are that no trace whatever has been re ceived from Prof. Geo. Sawyor, who mysteriously disappeared from Red muff, Calif., on Dec. 30, where he had gone ostensibly for a duck hunt during the holidays. Development of details during the past day or two however, have led'to the firm belief that Sawyer did not Intend to return when he left Oakland. According to reports received today he drew all hit money, amounting to nbout $2,000, out of the two Oakland banks, paid up all his current bills, and gave his wife si 25 as a -Christmas present, After his departure Mrs. Sawyer found that he had -taken with him nearly all of his clothing, which, of course, he would not do if be were merely going hunting Other minor details, which then aroused no sus picion, now point toward his inten tion never to return to Oakland. Since coming to this county about five years ago. Prof. 8awyer had been an exemplary citizen In every respect He was an energetic and successful educator, and took an active Inter est In lodge, . Sunday school and church work. He joined the Oak land lodge oT Odd Fellows, bringing his withdrawal card which was honor ably in sued by the lodge to which he formerly belonged In Pennsylvania He joined the Oakland Mason! Lodge by Initiation since taking up his residence there, nnd nt the last an nu ill election was chosen Worship ful Master of that lodge. In busi ness affairs be was absolutely hoti est and socially his conduct merited the highest esteem. He was married on August 21, 1907, his wife being Miss Kmily Ievore, of Yoncalla, who; was then and still Is a teacher In the Oakland public schools. So far as we are able to learn his family relations hnve always been amicable and pleas ant. In fact Prof. Sawyer has been an exemplary citizen ever since he has lived In this county, and no word of reproach has been heard from his former homo In Pennsylvania, where he held the important position of county superintendent of schools. The cause for his mysterious disap pearance therefore remains wholly unexplained. Of courso, various theories are current, but all lack con firmation. One of these Is that he may havo been married before coin ing to this state and had never been legally divorced, but this, like the other theories advanced. Is mainly conjecture and may have no real foundation. Some letters addressed to him have been received by Mrs. Sawyer since his departure, but their contents have not been given out, and are also matters of conjecture. Since the development of details of Sawyers departure from Oakland, which show that he did not expect to return. It is believed that he went to Red Bluff, according to his announce- ed Intention, registered at a hotel there under hlB true name so as to allay suspicion, and departed on the next train. According to the most prevalent theory he' probably sailed from San Francisco a day or two lat er under an assumed name, on some steamer bound for Australia, South America, or some Oriental port. Thin. of course. Is still a mere theory, yet it is believed he has left the United States, probably never to return The disappearance of any other prominent citizen of Oakland would have ocaFicned no greater surprise than has that of Prof. 8awyer. Yet his Intention to do so seems to have been generally accepted there. The Masons pnd Odd Fellows have de cided not to Send personal searchorn to Red Rluff to look for hlrn, al though members of these orders at Red muff have been giving search upon telegraphic instructions from Oakland. Mrs. Sawyer is said to have become convinced of her hus band's Intentions and has resumed her school work, and hfs place a nrinclnal of the schools Is belnit fill ' by Rev. Kvans, pastor of the Presby terian church. Prof. Sawyer was a strong man both physically and mentally, and a man of excellent appearance and pleasant manner and address. His strange disappearance under the clr- cumstnnces herein ' related again demonstrates that In our everyday lite truth Is stranger than Action and that we nover really know our near est neighbor.

AMI-AKIN AdAINST TUlKRCri.OSIS (iROWlXtl. Mori- Work Done Ijist Your Than Kvor IlefoH- Movement E. U'lids to Nvery llnincll. NEW YORK, Jan. 6 With tho op ening of the new year, the campnlgn gainst tuberculosis in the United States exhibits tho most remarkable progress that any movement for so cial betterment has ever shown In this country. During the past year, the mount of activity and the number of people who have been reached by this activity has been far In excess of imilar work that has been carried n during the four years previous. Measured by dollnrs, the campnlgn agnlnst tuberculosis In the United States during tho year 1908, has cost well over a million. Measured In the umber of workers, tbe campaign has enlisted hundreds of thousands in its ranks. Measured by the number of nstilutions and organizations that avo been established during the year 908, more work of this sort has been accomplished than during the entire period beforo January 1 of the year just closed. For Instance before January 1, 1905, there were nly 19 (lispeusarles In the United States providing special treatment for tuberculosis cases. Up to tbe year 908, this number had increased to slightly over 100. During the year 908 nlotie, over 100 dispensaries providing special treatment for tuber culous patients have been opened. The number of tuberculosis sanatoria and hospitals opened In the year 1908 more than 80, a figure which 1 four times that of the amount of progress shown In this line In any other year before 1908. Tho number f associations having for -their ob ject tho study or prevention of con sumption, established during the yenr 908, totals up to 120, which figure gain Ib more thnn tho entire number which hnd previously been establish ed In the United States. But not only in the number of In BtttutiouB but also In the variety of people interested and In the increase workers, can the progress of the anti-tuberculosis oampnlgn be mens ured. Never before in the history of the United States have so many movements co-operated nnd nllled to light the common foe, the white plague. Never in any single year have so many different organizations and so many different ranks of people been stirred to activity In a movemeul for the betterment of the condition of man, as during the year 1908 Instance, during the past year from one end of the country to the other, the labor unions nnd working men havo been startled to a realization of the fact that consumption Ib a dis ease which affects them, and they have been arming from east to west for tbe fight against this common foe land in hand, the movement of the abor unions has been tbe stlmuluF given to the clergymen, and the hurches throughout the country. Nover before have so many sermon? on tuberculosis been preached from tho pulpits of the vnrlous churches of ho country. The schools, too. hnve been aroused both In rough specla Institutions for the treatment of tub erculosis children and by means of special instruction to the children In the regular grades In the schools. hind reds of children havo been In structed on the dangers of tuber culosis. Stnto legislatures, govern merit officials, business concerns, fac tory owners, social workers, men nnd women of all sorts of clnsses have during this past year been aroused to renewed interest in the campnlgn against consumption. or the Influences which have con rlbuted to produce this result, prob ably the most weighty, bns been the international Congress on Tuberculo sis which wns bold In Washington during the latter part of rieptembc and the llrst part of October, nttrae lug, ns It did, the attention of men and women in every statu in the Un Ion. Representatives were presen from almost very section of the coun try, and the benetlt derived from this Inspiring gathering has doubt lean given tho greatnst Impetus to actlvlt In the fight agnlnst consumption tba this count ry has ever experienced The Nntional Association for th Study an-! tTeventlou of Tuberculo sis by means of Its constant propa ganda and Its two traveling exhibits. has aiso helped to con-tribute to th success of tho campaign. Particular ly Is this ho In regard to thP work being carried on In the South. Th Red Cross Htnmp Campaign, With It 25,000,000 stamps, has been one of the greatest mediums of education on tuberculosis as well ns a mean raising money that has ever been lined In this country. The managers of the campalK against tuberculosis nre ren It-tin that they have a bard fight ahead o them and every menus that wll bring home to the Ignorant the gospe of health is being employed. It safe to predict that with tbe preser ve of Increase In activity again tuberculosis maintained, the whit plague wfll be ranked In A class with some of the leant diinverous of th Infectious diseases within less tlia fifty years.
