Grant Is Provided for with the Idea

to Devote Their Time to
Public Good
NEW YORK, Nov. 21. Future ex
Presidents of the United States are
to be pensioned in the sum of $25,000
annually by action of the Carnegie
corporation of New York today. The
grant is provided for with the idea
of enabling former executives of the
Nation to devote their unique know
ledge gained in public affairs to the
public good free from pecuniary care.
A similar amount is to be paid wid
ows of ex-Presidents as long as they
remain unmarried.
The pensions are to be promptly
offered to the ex-Presidents or their
widows, so that no application will
be required from them. Payment is
to be continued so long as the recip
ients "remain unprovided for by the
Government."
The announcement followed the
second annual meeting of the corpora
tion held at the residence of Andrew
Carnegie here.
Five of the eight trustees are the
heads of the five institutions which
Mr. Carnegie has founded the Car
negie Endowment for International
Peace, Elihu Root, president; the Car
negie Foundation for the Advance
ment of Teaching, Henry S. Pritchett,
president; the Carnegie Institution of
Washington, Robert S. Woodward,
president; Carnegie Hero Fund Com
mission, Charles L. Taylor, president;
Carnegie Institute of Pittsburg, Wil
liam M. Frew, president. The succes
sors of the five men become ex-officio
trustees of the Carnegie Corporation
of New York. In addition there are
three life trustees.
The trustees authorized this state
ment pf the corporation's aims:
"A total of $125,000,000 in securities
has thus far been transferred to the
corporation which will carry on the
various works in which Mr. Carnegie
had been engaged and such others as
he may from from time to time think
it advisable to establish.
"Mr. Carnegie believes he has taken
the surest means of securing for the
future a body of the best possible trus
tees. The heads of the institutions
must inevitable be men of high moral
and intellectual standing.
OREGON CITY BUSINESS
Over 25 business men of Oregon
City attended the annual banquet of the
Manufacturer's Association of Oregon
at the Portland Commercial Club
Thursday evening. Col. David M.
Dunne was toastmaster. Mayor Grant
B. Dimick attempted to leave the hall
and was called back, and called upon
to make a speech, as the toastmaster
insisted that the second manufactur
ing city in the state, which was so
well represented, should have at least
one speaker. Judge Dimick spoke of
the growth of the manufacturing in
Oregon City and the stability of the
industries. He said there was a lack
of cooperation between the manufact
urer and the actual producer the
farmer. He pointed out to the large
assemblage that Oregon imported six
million dollars worth of hogs and over
five million dollars worth of steers last
year. He insisted that the future
growth of Oregon "depended largely
and as much on the encouragement
given the farmer as it did on patron
izing home industry, which was the
theme of the evening.

TURKS REJECT TERMS FOR AR
MISTICE BEFORE LEADERS
MEET
PEACE LASTS ONLY FOR ONE DAY
Grand Vizier Ordered Commander-in-Chief
to Continue Fighting
Order a Complete
Surprise
LONDON, Nov. 21. The formal sus
pension of the Eastern war proved
only for a day. Turkey rejected the
Balkan terms for an armistice appar
ently before the plenipotentiaries had
time to come together at Hademkeui.
Kiamil Pasha, the Grand Vizier, de
clared the allies' overtures were "im
possible." He ordered the commander-in-chief
to continue fighting "with
the help of the 'Almighty' " until rea
sonable and moderate conditions were
proposed.
This declaration came as an utter
surprise and diplomats are not wholly
convinced the Ottoman troops will take
up arms against the cholera-stricken
trenches of Tchatalja.
While the Bulgarian demands for
Bulgaria is acting as the mouthpiece
of the allies were extreme, stipulat
ing the surrender of Adrianople and
Scutari, both of which are making an
historic defense, as well as the ces
sion of all the territory except a nar
row strip above Constantinople, these
conditions were advanced as overtur
es. In other words, they are apparent
ly put forward as a basis for negotia
tions. The Porte treated them as an ulti
matum, and this perhaps is the Orien
tal method of beginning negotiations
designed to induce the enemy further
to show his hand.
A Balkan diplomat in Londan point
ed out tonight that these terms were
submitted merely as an answer to
Turkey's pressing and repeated de
mands for an armistice and said:
"It is practically certain that their
rejection will result in a more active
and determined resumption of hostil
ities. Probably the allied troops will
now refuse to treat with Turkey until
they are in a position to dictate per
haps sterner terms in the capital of
the Sultan."

HEAD OF GREAT NORTHERN RAIL
WAY VISITS MINNEAPOLIS
DISPLAY DAILY
OREGON DAY DRAWS LARGE CROWD
Representative of State Writes that
Oregon Exhibit Is Most Prac
tical of Great
Show
O. E. Freytag, Secretary of the Pub
licity Department of the Oregon City
Commercial Club and who has charge
of Oregon's exhibit at the Northwest
Land Show in Minneapolis, Minn., in
a letter to the Morning Enterprise,
says that the Oregon exhibit Is at
tracting a great deal of attention.
Louis Hill, of the Great Northern
Railway, was much impressed with
the exhibit and pronounced it the most
comprehensive of all the exhibits. Mr.
Hill visits with Mr. Freytag daily to
have a chat on Oregon. He always
expresses his appreciation of the fact
that Oregon's exhibit is making a di
rect appeal to the people. Last Sat
urday was Oregon Day at the Show
and Mr. Freytag writes that there was
a larger attendance on that day than
at any time since the Show was apen
ed. Mistletoe was pinned on each vis
itor and grain for seeding was given
away free to all of the visitors.
The letter follows:
"Two weeks of rather strenuous ac
tivities have brought us to the place
where we at last find time to tell you
something of our trip and the work
with the Oregon State Exhibit at the
Northwest . Land Show which is in
progress here.
"Our trip here was uneventful but
marked throughout, especially as we
journeyed through the prairie lands
of Montana and North Dakota, by an
ever increasing love and longing for
our beautiful Willamette Valley.
"We were fortunate in encountering
no bad weather but passed through
cuts where the snow had drifted in
during an early snow, -which looked
rather deep in places. Snow flew spas
modically at different points.
"Since arriving here, our time has
been almost continually spent at the
show, which is a most attractive one.
A freize of large paintings represent
ing varied western scenes outlines the
wall of the large armory annex, and
of its self is a fine representation of
western life from a very homelike
chicken ranch through the various in
dustries of the west to a fine painting
of the bad lands. These canvasses
are ten feet high and the execution
extremely good.
Our Oregon exhibit is the most prac
tical booth of the whole display,
though there are many highly artis
tic ones, representing an expenditure
of thousands of dollars.
"Our aim has been to show to the
visiting farmer our grains and grass
es just as they are harvested. The
display is attracting much attention.
Louis Hill was very much impressed
with it, and pronounced it the most

everyone seemed surprised to
know that our climate is so mild as
to produce mistletoe and this one fact
is one of many which has been pre-

to look forward with dread to the in

TRAGEDY OCCURS AFTER AUTO TRIP
Finnucane Probably Will Be Released
In Few Days Court Wants ;
Him to Leave
State
Harry Timmons, sentenced to serve
oae year in jail, on a charge of con
tributing to the negligence of Valera
Proffitt, a fifteen-year-old girl who
committed suicide at her home in this
city, after an all night automobile
ride in Portland with Timmons, John
Finnucane and Clara Jahnson, also of
this city, was paroled Thursday by
County Judge Beatie. He had served
one month of his sentence. Finnucane
is still in jail, but is probable that
he will be paroled in a few weeks.
Judge Beatie gave as his reasons
for paroling Timmons that he had
been the main support of his parents
and that his reputation before the trip
to Portland had been good. Judge
Beatie wrote to men in Timmons'
former home in Kentucky and was in
formed that the young man had al-?
ways conducted himself properly
there.
"I think he has been taught a les
son," said the judge, "and I do not
believe he will repeat the offense. He
has obtained a position and will go
to work at once.' I intended paroling
Finnucane after he had served a month
on condition that he would go to
South Dakota to live with an uncle.
The arrangements, however, have not
been completed and he will have to re
main in jail until they are or other
arrangements are made. '
Miss Proffitt committed suicide on
the morning of October 20. The
party returned to this city early in
the morning and after having break
fast at a restaurant Timmons and
Miss Proffitt started to her home. She
left him at the Seventh Street Park
and went at once to a general mer
chandise store, where she purchased
the poison. She drank it just before
entering the house and died in her
mother's arms. A vial which contain
ed the poison was found in the yard.
