WASHINGTON. Nov. 30. An of ficial report from the foreign minis ter of Chile, charging Peruvian con si General Llosa with responsibility for the recent trouble between the two countries at Iquique and specifi cally denying that Llosa was. forced to return to Peru, was received to day at the Chilean embassy. The consul-general, the report said, left Valparaiso on instructions from his home office and had been shown every consideration by the Chilean authorities. Mr. Le Lorain, French vice-consul and dean of the consular corps at Iquique In the absence of Senor Llosa. has addressed a communica tion to Provincial.. Governor Amnen- gual. according to advices to the Chilean embassy, stating that he had given to the members of the diploma tic corps a message from Senor Llosa saying he "was compelled to go aboard- ship and to sail from Iquique." The French rice-consul added: ' - "Being positive that the fact re ferred to was entirely foreign to the action of the authorities it has. been decided to Inform you of the fore going in order that you might re quest that measures be taken to avoid a repitition of the action In tfrder that If It occurred It shouia not become a precedent" PARIS; TTiday, Nov. 29.

C 7C $0.1 J BUDGET BILL BURIED DEEP BY ENEMIES Vote Is Almost Two to One in Election Yesterday and School Board Is Facing Dire Predicament PERSONALITIES USED AT EVENING SESSION Clark Is Under Fire and Un able to Suggest Way to Meet Situation anowea uncer with a two to one vote, the proposed school budget of $95,818.54 tor Salem district No. 24 was defeated at yesterday's elect iuh. vji iBi roies casutnere was a variance of but five in the opposition xo tne two items on the ballot. . On the question. "Shal the amount of tax livied by school district 24 during the year 1918 be Increased by more tban 6 per cent over the amount levied by said district during; tne year Immediately preceding" the affirmative brought 103 and the neg ative 27Z. For the budget iself 107 votes wtjre cast in favor of and 267 against the measure. Means of meeting the situation now tnat tne district according to the board is deprived of all support except from state and county1 turn overs were taken up Informally when tne meiibers gathered for a short meeting at which the count was cer tified. . That the city schools will be con tinued is the consensus opinion of the members, but who Is to Assume the responsibility for their support is an other matter, which may be shifted to the shoulders of the property owners who voted against the budget At least one member of the board has threatened to turn in his resignation at the next meeting and several oth ers have suggested to Chairman II L.' Clark that he get them out of the difTlculty since the action he first lent his support haa carried. Clark declined last night to make any statement as to what be pro posed to do, but Intimated that cut ting expenses would have to be tried When confronted with the statement that thia is Impossible and that con tracts have already been signed that must be paid., he seemed unable to offer any suggestion. He emphatl callyi stated, however, that Tuesday night's session of the board and dis cussion at that time killed the budget maintaining that It aroused antagon ism. This is the first time that a school budget has failed to pass In Salem and in the opinion of W. C. Winslow it deprives the district of the $80,- 000 It had been running on during the present year as well as a 6 per cent Increase. An overdraft already against the board and the necessity of paying present contracts such as teachers' salaries for the remainder of the year, purchase price on the Holman property and new equipment creates a .serious situation. "The voters made a great .mis take," said J I. O. White, one of the members last night,, "because the schools have to be conducted just the same. As the result of 'the election the district must borrow approxi-j mately $95,000 to pay the yearns ex-! penses and this will require payment ! of interest. The board next year will hae the right to make a levy to pay its indebtedness and this will make the tax doubly heavy." All members of the board were nresent lalt nlrht when the results of the Toting were announced and all but the chairman expressed similar opinions. "It's disappointing to una mai in people are not satisfied with tne board's work and willing to stick be hind it, as other cities have done,' said R. C. Bishop, who has Just re turned from Pendleton and who was not .present Tuesday night. E. T. Barnes was particularly ou ter against the element that did not turn out to the polls. "What can the people In town ex- twut when those who care for their schools don't get out and vote?" he demanded. We've tried to mane good schools and I hope there Is some Continued on page six) local Telezraph Offices To Be Merged in Few Day About the middle of Derember the business of the Postal Teiegrapo comnanv and of the Western Union Telecraoh company In Salem will be consolidated under the government nlia of raerrtnr the two companies.
