CHINA SENDS APOLOGY
Insult to Flsg and Murder at Nanking
Condoned.
1’ekln.—The apology of Oeueral
Chang llaun to the Japaneso consulate
ut Nanking haa clean'd the air, ac­
cording to the Japnnese officials here,
and removes the dauger of complica­
tions for the present.
The Japanese legation emphatically
denied that an ultimatum had been
sent by the Japnnese government to
China. The legation elated that the
Chinese authorities at Hankow and
Rhanlung had compiled fully with the
Japanese demands.
On September 27 the Japunese min­
ister presented China with an ulti­
matum, allowing Chinn three days to
ootuply with Japan's demands In eon
nectlon with the recent attacks on
Japanese at Nanking.
State to Trade Books.
Salem. Or.—The state printing
board has entered Into a contract with
the llnncroft-Whltney company, ot
San Francisco, to publish the supreme
court reports for five years, It being
the belief of the board that at least
$25,000 will bo saved annually. J. C.
Moreland, clerk of the supreme court,
says there la about $40,000 of ‘‘dead
stock," consisting of old reports, in
possession of tho slate which It can­
not dispose of. These will be traded
to the company for new booka.
SULZER MAY TESTIFY
IN HIS OWN BEHALF
Albany, N. Y —The trial of Mr. Bul­
ger before the high court of Impeach­
ment was resumed nt 2 o’clock Mon­
day nfternoon, and It Is generally be­
lieved that this week's sessions may
suffice for the presentation of all the
prosecution's direct evidence.
Should Mr. Sulzer persist In hla pur­
pose to take the stand In his own be­
half, however, tho Issue Is not unlikely
to be protracted. That he will do so
Is now generally conceded.
The impeaching managers have suc-
ceeiled In plnclng In evidence contrib­
utions aggregating not only the $£460
nek now led get] In Mr. Sulzer's sworn
roport to the secretary of state, not
only the additional items aggregating
18600 which were suppressed Jjy Mr.
Suiter as alleged In the formal arti­
cles of Impeachment, but, under the
court's ruling permitting the widest
latitude, they have already Increased
the latter figure to $18,200 In checks
alone.
Religious Healer Killed in Her Office.
I,os Angeles.— With a piece of gas
pipe a foot and u half long, some one
battered the llfo out of Mrs. Rebecca
P. Oay, a religious health prnnltloner,
In her office, nnd after a futile at­
tempt to throw the body from the fifth
story of the office building, left the
dead woman covered with copies of
a religious newspaper.
MAI
The arhool election Monday, which
wa» held to vote on the addition o f
the
lllh and 12th grades to the Slayton
»«•bool, and to make the entire course
o f study conform to the required stand­
ard of the High Schools of Oregon, was
well
atten«j«id and a comparatively
large vote was cast.
Seventy-three votes result««! in sixty-
seven for, and five against the proposed
change. One vote was cast blank.
Much enthusiasm was manifested at
the close o f the count and Prof. Gauntt
was railed upon to eflplain just what
was requisite to put the ¡stayton school
on the plane of the Silverton, Salem
and other high schools.
In a short, lucid manner, the Profess­
or explained that; A course o f study
must be prepared which must be pre­
sented to the State Superintendent for
approval, that another teacher must be
hired to help in the high school work,
that a certain amount of laboratory
inutcria! must be furnished, and a large
library o f reference books must be pro­
vided for.
In s meeting o f the school board
Monday evening, it was decided th ^
the chairman G. L. Brown, together
with Prof. Gauntt go to Salem in the
near future and interview State Super­
intendent Churchill and get a course of
study outlined and ready for adoption
at some future meeting o f the board.
As no tax was voted at the regular
election for an additional expenditure,
and as thu time is too short to call a
special meeting for that purpose this
fall, it is doubtful if all the grades can
be carried thia year.
The school txiard wishes to assure the
patrons und pupils, however, t h a t
everything that is possible will be done,
and that after the regular school elec­
tion next spring they will have every­
thing in readiness by the opening of
the school in the fall to teach every
grade troni ‘ the Aral to the twelfth, in
a standard manner w i t h
standard
equipment.

It is stated that an unusually large
proportion of the prune crop is being
marketed as fresh fruit than ever be­
fore and this fact, in connection with
the unfortunate prevalence o f dry rot
in nearly all sections o f the state, is
exqected to result ia a marked decrease
in the dried product. Early quotations
for dried prunes are very attractive,
indication pointing to an unusual Euro­
pean demand later in the year.
