SALEM. Or.. Jan. (Special.) To
1 correct evils attending the credit sys
' tem sufficiently to safeguard the Inter
' est of all retail merchant and to
extend the work and scope of the or-
ganlxatlun, vu the keynote of dls
' cusjlon at the fifth annual convention
' of the Ketall Merchants of Oregon here
; today.
', More than 190 delogatos from all
- parts of the state were present, as well
' as many visitors and a large represen
tation of wholesale men who are anx-
lous to got Id closer touch with the
, retailers.
No session will he held tomorrow.
The entire day will be spent by the
delegates In visiting- the different state
Jnotitutlons and the Legislature. In the
i evening a banquet Is to be given by
, the Salem Business Men's Association.
Than a number of prominent merchants
' and several state officials will speak
on topics relating to the business of
retail merchants.
No-1. Iccnxi Bill Fought.
- Several proposed laws Introduced at
' the present session of the Legislature
i will be placed under the ban and a
committee will be appointed from the
' orsrsnizatlon to wait en the legislative
' committees In whose hands the tabooed
' measures have been placed. A bill in
. troduced by Senator Barrett of Vash
' Ineton County. Is particularly obnox-
ious to the retailers In that It pro
' poses to reduce if not abolish the ped-
dlers' license law. Merchsnta from
'. the rural districts say that to allow
peddlers to sell goods without license
; will prove ruinous to their trade. An
. tthr bill permits war veterans to ped
1 tile without a license. , That measure
J Is also to be opposed. The retailers
maintain that It will prompt scores of
1 peddlers to cover the country In the
prutss of old soldiers and virtually will
; repeal the present luw.
! Short-Weight Responsibility Vp. j
The association will also ask that a
; law be passed to fix the responsibility
of short-weight butter. Heretofore a
' law has existed against short-weight
) butter, but neither the retailer nor the
manufacturer has been made responsl
I ble.
The mall-order business and "fake" ad
' vertisement will te attacked, and If
'. plans1 of the aesociatlon are carried out
all advertising on hotel registers, pro
' grammes and the Issuing of calendar"
. will be abolished. Enoch Bradford, a
merchant of Hood River, said that Apple
'city retail merchsnta saved mora than
I'.S.OOO last year alone by refusing to
' 3atmnize ""fake advertising sclitmfi.
M-.-dfard' also reported a big saving. It
'was pointed out thst no benefit ti de
; rived from such advertising and thou
i sands of dollars are expended needleew
; lr every year In advertising that brings
' no r -suits.
WImt Credit Urged.
One of the most Interesting features of
the fiay session was the annual address
of N. A- Terry, president. He urged
'strongly that the retailers use more dis
cretion In extending credit, saying It is
not only Injurious to their own buslnens
!lut also a detriment to the purchaser.
lie contended that more failures result
.from too much credit than from all other
causes combined. He told of his work
'last Summer In organising the arworla
'. tlrn and said he was astonished to And
'that so much discourtesy Is shown to
traveling salesmen.
, "In many places I was mistaken for a
drummer." he said, "and often the mer
chant would not even condescend to
notice me. The traveling representa
tives of the wholesale houses are In
touch with the buelness situation In all
part of the country and could be of
'untold bene tit to" live retailer particular
ly In remote parts of the state."
Paid Organlxer Sought.
Mr. Terry added B members to the
association during his two months trip
last Summer. He recommended that a
paid organiser be placed In charge of
the work, saying that by this course the
membemhip may easily be doubled within
the next ear.
The report of Charles B. Merrick, sec
retary, shows the association to be In
better financial condition than ever be
fore, while the membership la over ft
Mr. Merrick recommends that every
Jelegakte contribute hie part toward the
annual banquet In future, as the burden
Is too heavy on soma of the smaller
towns.
A warm discussion took place on the
floor of the convention between E. T.
Bamea and J. U Stockton, Salem mer
chants. Mr. Barnes, who conducts a
strictly-cash business, maintained that
the credit system Is a detriment to both
the retailer and the purchaer while
Ptocktoa took the opposite stand. Mr.
Stockton said that many merchants owe
their start to the fact that they were
given credit while many of the most suc
cessful merchants of the day are credit
men. He said that it fcs often a ques
tion of common humanity rather than a
n.atter of dollars and cents and that
many people would suffer hardships) and
privation were credit dented them.
Apples Are Gift.
Enoch Bray son was) cheered vehement
ly when he prevented two boxes of Hood
raver apples to the delegates.
A contest Is expected to take place
between R. Alexander, of Pendleton, and
N. A. Perry, both candidates for prerf
dent of the organisation. Alexander has
a strong following but Mr. Perry's suc
cess 41 president is a. big factor In his
favor.
At the session tonight the speaker
were: Hermsn lie. of Astoria; -. .
Burk holder. tt Cottage rove: J. O.
Watts, of Scappoose. and Clyde B.
Altchkwn. of the Oregon Railroad Com
mission. Mr. Altchlson's topic waa, "How
the Railroad Commissioner Assists the
Retail Merchant."
There le a strong and growing sentl
nvent in favor of holding the next an
nual convention In Portland. The burden
of entertaining the delegates Is already
too heavy for soma of the smaller towns
to bear and wild a rapidly Increasing
membership Portland seem the only
logical place for the annual conven
tions. Salem Mayor Welcome.
The convention was called to order by
Theodore Roth, president of tha Salem
Business Men s League, and prayer was
said by the Rev. Mr. Allison, of the
Methodist Episcopal Church.
Mayor Lackmund extended a hearty
welcome -to the delegates. Enoch Bray
ford, of Hood River, responded to Mayor
Larhmund.
On behalf of tha Salem Business Men s
League welcome waa extended by H. a
Gile. of the Willamette Valley Prune
Association. W. A. Bell, of Kugene. re
sponded and assured Mr. Glle that the
Kugene delegates had come to the con
vention for the very purpose of absorb
ing new methods and new Ideas.
On behalf of the Salem Board of Trade
Max O'Buren welcomed the convention.
J C Mann, of Portland, who was Intro

largest attendance at the various displays
that has yet greeted rortianas automo

show hinging upon the enthusiasm which
Portland's society folk should show, the
dealers were somewhat worried at first,
but as the evening wore on and the best
folk of Portland continued to grace the
garages vim xner iire-uuc.
mnnmm 1 - antl AftQTWardS
the dealers pronounced the show to be
the most successful of the opening.

. n u I. thai. ihfl for thle
year, for through the lack of space in the
Armory, wnere mo mow una v-d-c uu j
for years, it has been found necessary
to try this new expedient of holding the
show at the different garages'. While
for a time there was some doubt, as ro
the ultimate outcome, business has been
so good that success is assured.
Visitors Are Many.
In fact so heavy was the continual
stream of people visiting the garages
last njght that It became necessary to
secure' the use of a number of extra au
tomobiles. Every demonstrator; in
charge of the dealers' best drivers, has
been placed In service parrying the vis
itors to the automobile show from one
exhibit to another.
' In charge of Louis Stein, these cars are
making' trips from each one of these
garages to the automobile and accessory
centers.
The luxurious appointments of the
closed cara on display, their decorations
and the evident effort which Portland's
automobile dealers are making to reach
the high-class trade attracted the vis
itors more than ever last night. - Besides
the cars, the many new garages that have
been established In the last year, with
their nicely warmed and handsomely fin
ished resting rooms for ladies, their
thoroughly modern methods of handling
cars, the show rooms, with their furnish
ings, snd the general feeling of stabil
ity about everything, caused rfiuch com
ment from those not familiar with the
automobile business.
From out of town are coming those
who probably "take the greatest Inter
est In the automobile Show, and men
who wish to buy, out-of-town agents and
people who hod other business In Port
land have taken this week for their
visit. That they are visiting the show
in numbers Is shown by the fact that
R. e. Blodgett, secretary of the Automo
bile Dealers' Association of Oregon, has
already accepted and made out certifi
cates for over 600 visitor
Certificates Will Be Many.
with 800 already certlfled for and. the
majority of the dealers not expecting
their out-of-town customers till the lat
ter part of the week. It is believed that
the full number of certificates Issued
will reach l&Ou. Visitors must secure
certificates from Mr. Blodgett at 810 Al
der street In order to secure the advan
tage of the one and a third rate allowed
by the railroad lines In Oregon and
Washington.
"We want to repeat our Invitation of
earlier In tha week as well as to thank
the publlo for the splendid Interest they
have shown so far," declared an officer
of the dealere' association last night.
"Like all pioneers, wo are experiencing
the troubles of the pacemaker, but we
believe that the public appreciates the
trouble we have gone to tn organizing
this show. Given to them without any
expense whatever, it Is a big undertak
ing and one that deserves attention from
every man Interested to any extent In the
progress or the automobile.
"The attendance so far has more. than
Justified the outlay to which we have
gone and we believe that we have made
a success of an Idea which makes It pos
sible for Portland to have an automobile
show without hampering anyone. There
are but three remaining nights for vis
iting the show. The garages are open
to the public from t o'clock till 10 each
evening."
1IEXLEY CONTRACT NOT SIGNED

PAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 25. (Special.)
That Henley's 1911 contract calls for
more money than wfll be paid any
pitcher In the Pacific Coast League Is
a statement that comes directly from
Danny Long, manager of the San Fran
cisco Club.
Long admits that Henley has not as
yet signed bis contract, but he declares
that in the one talk he had with Hen
ley everything appeared to be satis
factory. "Henley never did sign his contract
until almost the last day before the
training season opened," said Danny,
"and for that reason his failure to turn
In his contract right off the reel Is
not causing me any great amount of
worry."
Claud Berry, the San Francisco
catcher. Is the latest of the locals to
send In his signed contract, thereby
most effectually dispelling the rumor
that was started last Fall to the effect
that Berry might Join the Portland

FRABY I5JW LAUGH
M'CTIEDIE RIDICTIiES rMPWE'S
VIEWS OF PORTIiAVD TEAM.
Spokane) Man, ex-Xorttawstern
League Indicator Holder, Says
He'd Bet 15 to L Against Kick. '
Ralph Frary, of Spokane, the North
western League umpire,' says that If he
were a bookmaker he would quote odds
of 15 to 1 against Portland winning the
Northwestern League pennant, and in
his capitulation of the chances of the
different clubs'the Spokane man places
Portland fifth in the race.
In the Tacoma Ledger of Tuesday
morning Frary is quoted as doping out
the following odds on the chances of
the different teams: Vancouver (favor
ite), t to 2: Spokane, 7 to 2; Tacoma. (
to 2; Seattle, 6 to 1; Portland, 15 to L
and Victoria, 50 to 1.
Frary figures Bob Brown's Vancouver
team, reinforced by the addition of Nor
man Brasliear, to be the club with the
brightest prospects, and having had some
experience in racetrack betting. Frary
says he would lay odds of 3 to t on the
chances of Brown's boys. Eddie House
holder's Victoria team looks like a SO to 1
shot to Frary, and he says Portland's
chances are worth about 15 to 1 on a
speculation. He bocs this quotation on
the fact that Nick Williams' coterie will
be on the road mast of the time.
He further cites the fact that Casey's
Northwestern team of 1S0S was as strong.
If not stronper. than Williams' team
will be, and. he thinks Portland will do
well to finish fifth.
When shown Frary's "dope" yesterday
Walter McCredle laughed and said that
he would send it to Nick Williams. Big
Mack has the utmost confidence in Nick
Williams, and says that were he a
gambler he would like to make a little
bet with Frary on the odds he quotes.
'Nick Williams will surprise that bunch
fn the north." said McCredle yesterday,
"and If anybody Is willing to bet 15 to 1
ajrainst Portland after a. few weeks of
th season has elapsed, I think he will
find all the takers he wants. -v As far as
being on the road end of It Is concerned,
they will find Williams equipped with
a team that will go some at any time.
"In 190 the Portland team never had
a first baseman all season, and the
Northwestern League will find the club
with a real live article In the person, of
either Ort or Williams, one of whom
wUl play that bag and play it as it
ought to be played. k
Nick has said that ha will play first
himself, but if he don't, he has George
Ort, who is as good a flrst-sacker as any
man in that league. Casey, Mensor and
either Peters or Anderson will round
out a high class Infield. In Burch and
Harris, Williams has two first-class
catchers who can also hit the ball, and
his outfield will comprise either himself
or George Ort and Billy Bpeaa and
Thompson ot Miller. Thompson is the
big fellow who was with Los Angeles
in the Paclfle Coast Leajue a couple of
years ago! and who has improved greatly
In his work in the last year.
"With 10 or a dosen pitchers lined tip
so far, Williams ought to be able to
round out a high-class staff of twlrlers,
and I think about the time his bunch
gets Into action, there will be a fluctuat
ing of the odds. I think Ralph had better
take another guess."
WRESTLERS OFF TO SPOKANE
Multnomah Clubmen Hope to Bring
Back Athletio Laurels.
Four wrestlers of the Multnomah
Amateur Athletic Club, accompanied
by Wrestling Instructor fyConnell,
left last night for Spokane, where
they will compete in tne Paolfic

LEWIS WHIPS SUMMERS
A3IERICAX WELTERWEIGHT DE
FEJTDS HIS TITXE.
Englishman Lasts Four Savage
Rounds in Go Before Famous
Olympic Club of London.
LONDON, Jan. 25. Harry Lewis, the
American welterweight, who won the
welterweight championship of England
a year ago from Toung Josephs, to
night knocked out Johnny Summers,
the English aspirant for the title in
four rounds. '
A big crowd witnessed the go. every
seat in the Olympla being filled. It
was a savage fight while It lasted and
honors were even for the first two
rounds. The men-insisted on clinching
at every posslblePchance and the ref
eree was compelled to step In and sep
arate them forcibly.
The third round was the hottest.
both men trying desperately for a
knockout. It ended In a clinch. In the
fourth Lewis rushed Summers to the
ropes and knocked him out with a
straight right. After Summers had
taken the count, Lewis picked him up
and carried him to his corner, amid
great cheering. .
The men were matched at 144 pounds,
but -when they weighed In at 3 o'clock
in tha afternoon It was found that the
American tipped the -scales at 143 3-4.
Summers weighed 140 3-4. As a result
of his overweight, Lewis forfeited $500.
