THE MORXIXG OREGOXIAX, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 13. 1923
WILLAMETTE DRIVE
IS HD SUCCESS
Million Mark Is Passed in
Big Campaign.
WORKERS ARE OPTIMISTIC
Committees Redouble Efforts to
Reach Goal of $1,250,000
by December 20.
Willamette universty is well on
the way to victory in its forward
movement campaign for an endow
ment of Jl, 250,000. It was officially
announced yesterday by Dr. John
W. Hancher, councillor in finance
of the Methodist Episcopal church,
here on duty for the board of edu
cation, that a trifle more than
$1,000,000 had been pledged up to
and including yesterday noon re
ports. There was great rejoicing when
the announcement was made simul
taneously in Salem and Portland at
luncheons, which the workers are
holding daily in those cities. The
word was flashed all over Oregon
to the field workers, who were told
that it meant certain success if the
task is bent, to determinedly until
December 20, as they have bent to
it during the first portion of the
active drive for the endowment
fund.
Cheers Greet Statement.
"Dr. Hancher authorizes the state
ment that we have passed the
Jl.000,000 mark." said Dr. A. L.
Howarth, in charge of the city-wide
campaign in Portland, at the close
of the noon luncheon at the Seward
hotel yesterday. Prolonged applause
greeted the announcement, Bishop
Shepard presiding and all the min
isters and laymen joining in.
Dr. Hancher has had great expe
rience in this sort of campaign and
has met with remarkable success.
He came to Portland yesterday for
the purpose of taking active part
In the forward movement, with
which he and his staff are dealing
along general policy lines, as in a
number of other larger campaigns
for colleges and other institutions
throughout the country.
Worker Feel Optimistic.
All of these are going on to suc
cess it Is reported, and Dr. Hancher,
upon his arrival in the city from
Tacoma, was In an optimistic spirit
concerning Willamette's campaign.
He and his coworkers have just
closed with victory a campaign for
an endowment for the College of
Puget Sound at Tacoma and have
moved to Oregon to assist in this
work.
Under the policy adopted for this
and the other educational cam
paigns, no pledge given toward the
endowment fund is binding until
every cent of the amount sought is
obtained. Therefore, if anything
less than the $1,250,000 is subscribed
December 20, all of the sums
Pledged will automatically be re
leased. That feature is giving
friends of the university forward
movement real concern, but they
are working all the harder to put
over the drive and provide the fa
mous old school with better equip
ment, so that it may expand and
become of even greater helpfulness.

will depend to a great extent on the
honesty of the townspeople.
The Astoria Abstract company
which had offices on the ground
floor of the Spearth building, moved
into its old establishment today.
Through th eprompt work of G. C
Paulding, the manager, . several
truck loads of records were moved
from the office on the morning of
the fire. These valuable papers were
transported to Mr. Paulding's home
In a small coupe. As the company
was one of Astoria's leading insur
ance agencies and hundreds of dupll
cate policies were on file in the
office, the saving of the records has
proved invaluable in the rapid ad
justments of insurance claims.
Credit Offices Established.
G. W. Ingram, representing the
Portland Association of Credit Men
has established offices on the second
floor of the courthouse, in conjunc
tion with the insurance adjusters.
The local association is furnishing
proof of losses through invoices kept
by Portland commercial houses
This work is also an important
factor in speeding up insurance set
tlements. Orders for every kind of mer
chandise are now being given to th
corps of commercial salesmen in this
city. A representative of a leading
Portland wholesale grocery house
was hunted up today by an Astoria
merchant, who ordered $2500 worth
of goods. Representatives of firma
dealing in portable and reaclv-built
etruotures are being swamped with
orders.
The date of the formal reopening
of Astoria banks will be decided at
a meeting of the banking commit
tee of the general relief ' committee
tomorrow morning. Two of-the in
stitutions will receive in the court
house, the county court being des
ignated as one of the temporary
banking houses. ,

-About the busiest man in Astoria
today was tlio owner of the Astoria
Sign company. He was being
swamped with orders for cloth and
canvas signs. Carpenters were also
In great demand.
Because it was learned that it
will require two weeks' time to re
pair St. Mary s hospital for the use
of the sick, arrangements were
made today by Or. .Nellie Vernon,
local health officer, through Karl'
Kilpatrick of the American lied
Cross, for the use of supplies from
the army hospital at Kort iStevens.
The work of rebuilding and over
hauling the presses of the Astoria
Hurtget was begun today. The news

building at the southern limits of
the tire zone, will he running in its

The big problem Astoria now
faces, the committee explained to
Mayor Baker yesterday, is re-establishment
of its street system. The
problem is a serious one because
prior to the fire property abutting
on the principal streets had been

must have been a shortage of stars
when Miss Hampton was picked for
the featured player. The work of
Lon Chaney alone, and he has not a
great deal to do, lifts the picture
from sheer mediocrity.
The story concerns itself with
Bessie, played by Miss Hampton, a
poor girl in New Tork who becomes
acquainted with a wealthy woman
through an automobile accident. At
the woman's home she meets her
brother, who quickly professes love
for her, but the girl is later stung
by the insincerity of his subsequent
action. She runs away from the
home of luxury, reaching a cheap
boarding house almost penniless.

that the cup glows in the dark. Sub
sequently it is intimated that it is

licity is entailed.
Bessie by this time is half starved
in her cheap boarding house. There
also lives Tony Pantelli, who has a
bad habit of taking what does not
belong to htm. Learning Bessie's
story, he goes to the home of the
hero and demands that she be taken
care of. In the fight that ensues
the hero is knocked flat and Tony,
played by Lon Chaney, who does the
only acting in the picture, helps
himself, taking the supposed Holy
Grail to cure Bessie of her illness.
The police are brought into the
case, and through tracing the cup
the hero also again finds the girl.
whom he discovers he really loves.
The crook, who also loves her, keeps
his secret locked up in his heart
and urges the girl to return to her
wealthy admirer.

ford, acting executive secretary of

need of greater speed in payment of
pledges. Among contributions re
ceived yesterday was a check for

pany and $5C0 from Lipman, Wolfe

The appeal of the Astoria relief
committee for indorsement by the

last night.
A'aval Base Work Urged.
Construction of the Tongue Point
naval base with all possible speed
was urged in a message sent to Sen
ator Senator C. L. McNary by the
local Chamber of Commerce yester
day morning. The telegram was as
follows:
'In regard to relief situation at
Astoria as a result pf the fire, we
are informed that specifications for
construction of the naval base at
Tongue Point are being prepared
and should be available soon. Asto
ria relief committee urges that all
possible dispatch be observed in ex
pediting plans and specifications for
construction of the naval ..ase. It is
felt that the government could pos
sibly render very great assistance
to sufferers in the stricken city by
getting started on its work at the
earliest practicable date and' we
would deeply appreciate the max
imum effort on your part to have
relief of this character extended, as
.it is the type of service that Astoria
needs now."

An additional detachment pi ten
supply sergeants and cooks was
ordered to Astoria Monday by Brigadier-General
George A. White, adjutant-general
of the state, to meet
the heavy demand for meals at that
place. More than 1700 meals were
served today from the emergency
military kitchens sent by General
White to Astoria following the de
struction of the business section and
of all restaurants.
. The report received at - national
guard headquarters from Major J. V.
Shur, in charge of the supply and
commissary detachment of the guard
now at Astoria, said that 1150 meals
were served Sunday and 1700 yester
day, with the prospect that there
would be-no immediate decrease in
the number of persons who would
have to be cared for. . The supplies
are being provided from the relief
sent by various institutions and
agencies and no charge is being
made for those eating from the na

Half a dozen experienced military
cooks are in charge of the cooking

ELKS TO' AID .CHILDREN
CHRISTMAS GUTS PLANNED
, FOR ASTORIA VICTIMS.
State Association Will Provide
Tokens of Good Cheer for
All Fire Sufferers.
The great heart of Oregon Elit
dom has responded to the call of
stricken Astoria and the Oregon
State Elks' association will act as
Santa Claus for thf hundreds of
children of the seaport city who
would have an empty and cheerless
Christmas otherwise. Every little
boy and girl of the prostrate com
munity that the Astoria lodge of
Elks finds will not have a plump
and well-filled stocking, will be
provided for, and Santa will dole out
his tokens of good eheer and re
membrance to the children with the
same free-handed generosity with
which he distributes his bounty to
the children of Portland when the
Portland Elks hold their great com
munity Christmas tree here.
All arrangements for giving As
toria's little folk what probably
will be the most memorable Yule
celebration in Oregon history were
completed at noon yesterday at local
headquarters of the state associa
tion. The Portland lodge, through its
Christmas tree committee, of which
S. S. Pier is chairman, and Monroe
Goldstein is manager, will purchase
all the nuts, candies and other
goodies that will go in the Astoria
baskets, and Manager Goldstein
announced' last night that the com
mittee of 150 women of the Elks
auxiliary will have charge of fill
ing the basket The entire con
signment will be shipped to Astoria
ready for the local Elks to dis
tribute December 23, the day set for
the celebration.
Many volunteer offers of dona
tions of cash and supplies to the
Astoria Christmas celebration have
come in since the movement was
started a few days ago, and these
will be referred to the state asso
ciation, which will handle the As
toria department in connection with
the work of preparing the big Port
land municipal Christmas tree.
The following women were added
yesterday to the committee of ex

which devastated Galveston, and the
San Francisco holocaust of 1905. We
deem the. situation so critical that
we feel it is necessary to appeal to
the congress of the United States
for immediate aid, such as was
granted Galveston and San Fran
cisco. It is believed that it will
require at least $3,000,000 to afford
anywhere near adequate relief."
It was pointed out by Astorians
that the city is bonded up to its
legal limit and that the work of
refilling and rebuilding the streets
will be necessary before any per
manent reconstruction work can
proceed- far. The appropriation asked
for would be used in filling in the
streets, which before the fire were
viaducts and which were largely re
sponsible for the spread of the blaze.
Astoria once attempted a general

Other relief work in Astoria was
well in hand today. The three prin
cipal agencies, the general relief
committee, the American Red Cross
and the national guard municipal
kitchens were functioning perfectly.
Because of the lack of restaurants,
transients and many of those burned
out had no means of purchasing
meals. These have been provided
in the guard kitchen. The distribu
tion of clothing was conducted in a
storehouse alongside the kitchen.
Because a few undeserving persons
were taking advantage of the situ
ation, a requisition system was put
into effect, whereby the needs of
the applicants were reviewed be
fore clothing was given.
Some 40 aged and destitute China
men, burned out by the fire, were

Three cooks were hired, 600 pounds

Reports or tne activities of the
rent hogs came to the attention of
the general relief committee to
day. It was declared that a few
a very few property owners were
attempting to dispossess families
living in rented homes and apart
ments because they saw chances of
getting greater incomes on their
property from persons rendered
homeless by the fire and woh could
be forced to pay exorbitant prices
for shelter. P. J. Dunbar appointed
chairman of a committee with in
