I FALL! And We Are Ready! What Do You Need T
tast Portland Branch Library Or
Canizatlon Attains Conspicuous
Successes Enthusiasm
for Cause Marked.
TTith the Portland committees beginning-
to find their stride. Oregon's
share of the $1,000,000 war library fund
lumned to $5061.18 last night, almost
doubling the total Tuesday.
Factors in the result were conspicu
ous successes attained by the commit
tees working from the East Portland
Branch Library. Miss Loa E. Bailey,
librarian and campaign manager. These
committees have already reported over
$400, with the campaign still being
pursued.
"I have participated In many collec
tion campaigns," said M- B. . McFaul,
chairman of the East Portland section,
'but never in my iiie have I experi
enced greater co-operation on the part
of those solicited, a greater willingness
to contribute, nor more enthusiasm for
a cause. This applies just as much to
our committees as to those we inter
viewed. The war library fund is a suc
cess so far as the East Side is con
cerned." Kntbutsm Is Marked.
Enthusiasm was marked at war
library headquarters when Alfred A.
Hampson, chairman of the Yeon build
ing committee, reported $340. The re
markable feature about Mr. Hampson's
work was that there was not a single
large donation in the total.
- Committees making the drive were
heartened yesterday by a donation of
$250 from the Ladd Estate Company,
while "W. B. Ayer, a member of the
Oregon council, donated a similar sum.
A. L. Mills, of the First National Bank,
contributed $200 to ihe library fund.
Other committees reported $100 each
from Balfour Guthrie, the Northwest
Steel Company, C. F. Adams and the
' Eastern & Western Lumber Company.
Yesterday was conspicuous for the
number of large donations.
Wasco Keeps Ip Its Pace.
The Dalles and Wasco County is still
keeping up the pace it started on Mon
day, the total reported to date being
$375. while Miss Anne Lane, chairman,
asserts that at least $530 will be raised.
Pendleton made a record one-day
total of $329. reported by E. J. Burke,
chairman. This is only $19 more than
the Grants Pass record for one day's
work. Pendleton has not yet com
pleted its campaign, however. The
Round-Up city will raise its quota, is
the promise, before the end of the week.
Miss Mabel West, of Monmouth, has
more than doubled her quota, by raising
$65.65. Astoria augmented its total to
$124, $100 being raised by two schools
there. The Medford total is $80. and
the campaign in that city is reported
as being vigorously pressed. Gresham
reported $40, and the campaign closed
in that city.
' Small Towns Make Good Showing;.
Clatskanie. with $14.85, and Antelope,
with $30. were cities making a conspic
uous showing for their size. The same
applies to Alsea, reporting $9.25. Tal
ent, with $32, more than doubled its
apportionment. .
At the Crystal Theater, Albina and
Killings worth, a benefit will be held
for the fund tonight, all proceeds going
' to the district library fund.
Among the residence sections. L. A.
Andrus reported $90 from several Port
land Heights precincts, Mr. Andrus be
ing captain of that district.
"With half the week gone, we are
only beginning to find our stride."
said W. L. Brewster, state director,
"but with so much of our state yet to
hear from I am hopeful Oregon will
Hio her bit.' "
- There will be a benefit performance
at the Multnomah Theater in St. Johns
tonight for the benefit of the War Li
brary Fund. All the proceeds will go
into the fund.
PRESENT PLAM DEFENDED
County Commissioners Oppose
Change in Jury Selection.
The County Commissioners yesterday
not only defended the present system
of selecting Jurors for the trial of Cir
cuit Court cases, but. through their
chairman, Rufus C. Holman, addressed
a letter to Presiding Judge Kavanaugh
requesting an opportunity to be heard
in opposition to a movement originat
ing with the Multnomah County Bar
Association for a change of method.
"The Commissioners want to go be
fore the Circuit Court Judges and ex
plain in Jetail the method by which
Jurors are r.ow drawn," said Mr. Hol
man yesterday. "We shall ask the
Circuit Judges for any criticism they
may have t: offer against the present
method, if any, and for suggestions for
its improvement. Subject to such crit
icism and rugge8tlons. however, we
feel that the plan now in effect is the
best for securing fair and impartial
jurors.
. "The present method has been ap
proved by the District Attorney as
legal, and we can see no substantial
objection to it. Our only interest is in
seeing that fair and impartial men are
-drawn for jury service. No word of
scandal has ever been associated with
the system of jury drawing now in use.
-All this talk of 'hand-picked Jurors'
and ,'corner-block owners' is idle conversation."

TRUNK. BROKEN PLAINT
POLICE
(7 ROVE It C. JOHXSOS SAJS
DESTROYED HIS PROPERTY.
Supposition Tkat Every PtcKace
Shipped From Honibrook Has
Liquor Declared Lnlalr.
Every trunk shipped from Hornbrook,
Cal., does not necessarily contain liquor.
but evidently prohibition officers have
come to regard such a shipment as
Drima facte evidence or guilt, li me
Rxnerlence of Grover C. Johnson is to
be taken as an example.
Recently Mr. Johnson dispatched nls
trunk from Hornbrook to Portland by
express. When he went to the local
express office to recover his trunk, he
found that its lock had been broken
and that it had been damaged in other
Darticulars. rendering his $20 invest
ment in the trunk negligible.
After conferring with officials of the
Wells-Fargo Express Company and
with one or two local attorneys, Mr.
Johnson learned that it has been the
habit of local policemen to break into
trunks coming from California points
in the hope that they might detect vlo
latlon of the prohibition laws.
"They tell me that my only recourse
would be to sue the express company,
but this I do not want to do, inasmuch
as the express company was not to
blame for my loss," said Mr. Johnson
yesterday. "I do not expect to re
cover my loss, but I do want the people
to know what is going on. Personally
I think a great injustice has been done
me. There was no liquor in my trunk
and no one had any right , to destroy
my property. Liquor law or no liquor
law. I understand that this thing has
been done promiscuously.

the Olympian Company, of Portland,
