Although bat little progress wis made on Armistice day due to the patriotic exercises held throughout Marion and Polk counties, yet rapid work on the part of the solicitors yesterday netted good results. The approx imate allotments made to each district hare been met, and calls for additional material are com ing in, in some of the outlying dis tricts, i "Salem's quota will not be known until the last night of the renewal," said Chairman McDan ieL "The roll call extends orer a period of two weeks which means that final results will not be de termined until the last hour of the day set for the final solicita tions. -However, it is hoped that virtually every district will be re ported In bsfore that time.- The reports which have come in, are highly gratifying. The industry and efficiency of 'Salem's Forty One' will bring success to the roll tall in this locality. Although there are many more than 41 per sons busy in Salem, yet, since the elty has been divided into 41 dis trict, the towns throughout the county are speaking of .'Salem's FortpOM" and endeavoring t to equal iu success."

President Wilson has issued his Thanksgiving proclamation to night, saying that "An plenty, se curity and peace, our virtuous and sjelf-reliant people face the fu ture" and setting aside Thursday, November 23, for the usual ob servance. The text follows: "The season approaches when it behooves us to turn from the distractions and preoccupations of our daily life, that we may con template the mercies which';, have been vouchsafed to us and ren der heartfelt and unfeigned thanks unto God for his manifold goodness. "This is an old observance of the American people, deeply im bedded in our thoughts and habit. The burdens and the stresses of life have their own insistence. "We have abundant cause for Thanksgiving. The lesions of war" are rapidly healing.,. The great army of free men, which America sent to the defense of ' liberty, returning to the grateful embrace of the nation, has re sumed the useful pursuits of peace, as simply and as prompt ly as it rushed to arms in obed ience to the country's call. The equal justice of our laws has re ceived steady vindication in the support of a law-abiding people against various and sinister at tacks which have reflected only the baser agitations of war, now happily passing. "In plenty, security and, peace, our virtuous and self-reliant peo ple face the future, its duties ana its opportunities. May we have vision to discern our duties, the strength both of hand and re solve, to discharge them; and the soundness of heart to realize that , the truest opportunities are those of service. "In a spirit, then, of devotion we give thanks in our hearts and dedicate ourselves to the service of God's merciful and loving pur poses to his children. "Wherefore, I, Wood row Wil son, president of the United States of America, do hereby designate Thursday, the twenty-fifth day of November next as a day of thanksgiving and prayer and I call upon my countrymen to cease from their ordinary tasks and avocations upon that day, giving it up to the remembrance of God and His blessings and their duti ful and grateful acknowledgements.?

" CHICAGO Judge Kenesaw today accepted the "chairmanship of. professional baseball" after it had been tendered him by unani mous vote of the 16 major league clubs and thereby becante the fi nal court of appeal in all matters of administration which may come up between the Xatlonal and Am erican leagues--and any minor leagues which voluntarily join the proposed reorganization of baseball. Judge Landis was hear ing a case in which J 1 5.000 bri bery, in connection with- an in come tax was charged whea a committee of eight clubr owners called on him. As the magnates filed into the courtrooms hats in their hands, the judge , sharply banged hl3 gavel down and ord ered them to make less noise. When informed of their mission he had them escorted to his cham bers where they were kept wait ing for 45 minutes before the judge would listen to the offer which increased his annual sal ary from $7,500 a year to $50, 000. Magnates Wait on Judge While the magnates "waited the judge conducted the bribery trial in his usual vigorous fashion and gave rent to some scathing re marks about the men who falsify their income tax returns. "The penitentiary is too good for them,' he remarked. Waiting on the judge were Charles Comiskey, president of the Chicago American ' league club: William Veeck, president of the Chicago Nationals; Jacob Rup pert of the Xew York Americans; Clark Griffith, of the Washing ton club; i Charles Ebbets of Brooklyn; Garry Herrmann of Cincinnati: Barney Dreyfus of Pittsburgh and John Breadon of the St. Louis Xationals. Later they were joined by Connie Mack of the Philadelphia Americans; Robert Quinn and James Dunn of Cleveland. At first the judge refused the offer on the ground that he "loved his position as judge" too much to quit the bench. Finally, how ever, he agreed to hold both po sitions, hut specified that his baseball salary should be de creased by $7,500 the amount be receives as judge. It was agreed that as chairman he would receive $42,500 a year instead of the $50,000 originally offered. Accepts for Youngsters After the meeting. Judge Lan dis took Clark Griffith, a personal friend over to a window. "Grif," he said. "I'm going to tell you just why I took this job. See those kids down there on the street? See that airplane propel ler on the wall? Well, that ex plains my acceptance. . "You see that propeller was on the plane in which my son. Major Reed Landis, flew overseas. Reed and I went to one of the world series games at Brooklyn. Out nide the gates were a bunch of little kids playing around. Reed turned to me and said: 'Dad wouldn't it be awful to take base ball awav from them?' Well, while you gentlemen were talking to me I looked up at this propel ler and I thought of Reed. Then I thoueht of his remark in utook lyn. Grir, we have to keep -baseball on a high standard for the sake of the youngsters that's why I took the job; because . i want to help." Peace Sow Reigns Supreme Peace settled over professional baseball today when the opposing factions in the reorganization of the game reached an agreement in every point at issue and thus ended a war which for five days apparently had disrupted both ma- irv lag Thrpe hours of argument and verbal battles which, although rather warm at times, never were bitter, found the magnates emerg ing frdm their council chamber arm in arm, calling each other by first name and laughingly refer ring to the threats each side had made a few days ago she had not arrived.

Al leged "political activity" previous ly referred to in testimony and reports before the Walsh commis sion investigating facilities of the United States shipping; board was again touched upon in testimony presented here today. r Congressman Foster question ing John T. Meehan. deputy chief of the board's bureau of in vestigation, asked if there had been any loss to the government through "political influence." The witness replied that he could not say that there had. Asked if there had been any complaints of such Influence, the witness sa!d that he had heard some criticism of William G. Mr Adoo after he had resigned as secretary of the treasury. It was charged or rather complained or he added, that Mr. McAdoo had appeared before the board ou behalf of the Morse interests. "I do not want to be under stood," he continued, "as saying that it is even inferred that Mr. McAdoo has interfered with, or has been harmful to the board in any way." He explained he was testifying only as to criticisms he had heard. Meehan also said that whila most of the investigations of his department had been of the ac tivities of minor employes, his de partment had not overlooked of ficials. He added that they had gone "very high" in the board's personnel. He repeated previous testimony that no irregularities had been discovered among the board's officers. " References were made, however, to depart ment heads particularly in southern district shipyards where dismissals had taken place at his recommendation. At one of these di.-mhsal3 which was brought about, he said,, by what he termed undue and unnecessary de lay as v.ell as exorbitant expense in repairs to a wooden ship. The final repair bill on this ship, h said, amounted to fully $200,000 ancTthe ship could not be sold to day for $75,000. Going into detail of alleged graft among ship officers, he re lated details of a casa on - tne steamship Ilio. On this vessel, he testified, three of its officers. including the captain, had -managed to conceal the presence of 4 00 tons of fuel oil when it ar- i rived from Rotterdam. At xor- folk more oil was taken aboard for a voyage to Rio Janiero. At this port the officers paid for tha delivery of 1000 tons of fuel oil, the witness asserted, but through connivance with an employe or an oil company, only COO tons were delivered. The difference between the value of the 600 Sons delivered and the 1000 tons paid Tor amounting to about $9000 was "split" between the parties con cerned in the transaction. The officers of the ship, in 'addition to the split lro took the.nual i.-rcentatre for -:i!e. The captain, the witness alleged, als-o connived with the repair company for cer alterations to the ship for cnarficu mercial and Liberty streets. For 40 years it was the property ot Thompson & Lafore. its history being similar to that of a large number of important buildings in that district in that it had not l.een involved In a real estate transfer in a great many years.

Volk said that his "theory" is that the explosion was caused by some individual "who wanted to create an impression on the in ter tion of the strike which was called by the Zaranko union." He raid he understood there was publication of a notice to strike on Wednesday, the day before the explosion. Xc.ne of Zaranko's men "las such." he asserted, were in his employ, but many had joined Brindell's union, "fonie of them at our instance." "And my theory Is based only on Imagination and the facts that have arready come to liRht."
