(By the Associated Press) Enrico Caruso died today. The great singer; whose ultimate recovery had been hoped for under the benign influences of his own Italy, passed away at 9 a. m. at the Hotel Vesuvius. He had been brought here hurriedly from Sorrento, on the Bay of Naples, where less than a week ago he avowed his returning strength and expressed the conviction that he would sing as before. ; He had been able to visit the famous sanctuary of Our Lady of Pompeii, givjng thanks offering for his recovery. Abscess Is Found. Me' went also to the Island of Capri, where he attended a lunch eon In his honor. But soon after wards unfavorable symptoms, in tbe form of a high fever, mani fested themselves and his wife tel egraphed to a Rome specialist to While appealing to the Salem Central .Labor council for aid in efforts to bring the California Mponey and Billings cases before the supreme court of California, Leonard Craig, San Francisco ma chinist, severely criticised the Sa lem press for its alleged failure to herald Craig's mission in this city. - ' . k ?'Not one wxrd of this appeal will appear In your daily news papers." ' Craig asserted. "The press will squelch this incident as it hushed' our successful efforts in recalling the San -' Francisca judges who fixed the Tom Mooney Jury." .- " :"v "The reporters who are In this WaB'B EBUKED LEGIONERS : END COMES come to Sorrento. It was then dis covered a new internal absceess had developed. Caruso's removal to Rome for an operation was advised but he showed such weakness, that it was impossible to transfer him further than Naples, where he arrived Sunday evening. ; Four physicians were called and their examination (Continued pn page 8) room tonight will never be per mitted to mention my work in Salem even though , they write reams concerning it." Craig told the ; members of the Salem labor body; that, only a few local labor organizations had sub scribed to the fund or to the weekly organ edited by Mooney from San Quentin. "Shame upon jmemhers of or ganized labor who turn their back vpon one of the most shameful outrages ever perpetrated upon tn American citizen.", exclaimed Craig, before leaving the hall. The fact that Craig has been (Continued on page 8) SALEM, OREGON, .WEDNESDAY, MORNING, AUGUST 3, 1921 Vacant Space To 'e Occes &ied By 3 Story Building Chemeketa Lodge No. 1, I. O. O. F., of Salem, will build a $30,000 building adjoining its present lodge hall on High street. The building will go up at once with local capital, and with a 10-year contract already agreed upon for the ren tal of the portion the lodge does not use for its oWn purposes. The purpose for which the leased portion will be used has not yet been decided upon. ; ; , The deal was closed yesterday whereby the building is assured. The dd Fellows have owned the property for a long time, but it has been used only for bill, board purposes. Now. it is to be the location of,a three-story structure, like in architectural design to the older structure. The lot has a frontage of 142 feet; and extends westward to the alley between High and Liberty streets. The build ing, however, will not cover quite the if ull length. The Odd Fellows own the old opera house block, three stories high, and one-half of the wall to the Salem Automobile company building on the south, two stories high, so they will have very little brick to lay for the new struc ture. However, the building with ita three stories and full basement will cost approximately $30,000, The lodge has $7000 cash to start the building fund. The rest of the deal was financed by Elmo S. White for local investors. The upper floor of the new structure Is said to be used for a reception hall and parlor for lodge purposes. The lodge has grown so strong, in numbers and in interest, that more room was necessary. As the new building will be identical in height and finish with the old, this new por i FREELY HERE New Crop Bringing Farmers 95 Cents and $1, Says Veteran Dealer D. A. White, veteran of many a year in the grain business, .says that wheat from the new crop is now selling at from 95 cents to $1 a bushel, with sacks furnished. One year ago the new wheat sold at $2 and 12.05 a bushel. Contrary to, the usual custom of farmers to hold for higher prices, Mr: White says there is a general tendency to sell. Oats are now quoted &( from 3 5 to 40 cents in Salem, although a regular price has not as yet been established. ' One year ago the new oats crop was selling at from 75 to 80 cents & bushel. New Building Approved For Gates School District The Gates school district near Mill City is to have a new school house. Paul Ratzenburg and A. D. Scott, directors, were in the cily yesterday and received the approval of the county superin tendent of schools for the new building. It will be of two rooms and in every respect build on the standard high school plan, as the directors say the school will be a standard high school. It just happens that the district is partly in Linn and partly in Marion county. Before the build ing could be erected it was neces sary to secure the approval of one county superintendents, so the directors came to Salem and se cured the legal approval. Work will begin at once. Miss Fredia Campbell Returns from France INDEPENDENCE, Ore., Aug. 2. (Special to The Statesman) Miss Fredia Campbell, a former resident of Salem, who has been in a girls school since last Septem ber in Caen, France, returned home Saturday and is now at the home of her parents. Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Campbell, of this city- Mis? Campbell was one of the success ful young women from the United States to win a scholarship' from the French government, being considered exceptionally good French "and her coaching with master linquists ' together wty a personal contact with the people of that country has been benefi cial in many ways. Miss Campbell expects to spen4 the summer here and in Salem. n SELLING tion will fit into the needs of the lodge. The lodge also retains the ;rear half of the new basement for soragf and various needs, but the rest of the basement, tho ground floor and the second floor together with tbe second floor of the old building, will go to the new lessees, J. E. Lewis and L. K. Applegate of Seattle, who have a 10-year lease, with privilege of; another five years. Plans for the new building arj now being prepared by Van Pat ton & Son of Salem. It is an nounced as the intention of the lodge to employ a competent su pervisor and employ Its own labor, rather than to call for complete bias. ; The lodge trustees are R. W. Simeral and Walter Cummings of Salem, and H. S. Henderson of Chemawa. ; l Central Labor Body Appoints Committee to Wait on Building Board At an executive session of the Salem Central Labor council last night a special committee was named which will meet with the building committee of the Salem hospital and endeavor to arrive at an understanding concerning the grievances registered against the hospital building committee by the Carpenters', local of Sa lem. Charles Barbour, O. W. Thomp son and F. E. Ilallock were named as committee members and auth orized to confer with C. Van Pat ton & Son, contractors in charge of construction, as well as with the building committee. While a certain bitter sentiment was expressed against the hospi tal builders' action in establish ing a wage f $6 as remuneration for the carpenters, several mem bers of the carpenters' local stood against any aggressive action in efforts to force adoption of the union scale of $7.20 for the buil ders. D'l 1JT1 C DH i-VX U kJ LJLJ FEARS FUNDS MAY BE SHORT Calling of Emergency Body to Sit in Joint Session May Be Found Necessary , There is a possibility that the state emergency board may be called into session with the sol diers' state aid commission some time In the near future to study out a more adequate financing of the aid commission than was pro vided by the legislature of last winter.. It was said at a meeting of the commission yesterday that the legislative bonus and loan act for service men does not take Into consideration the magnitude of the task that lies ahead of the commission, and that the $30,000 appropriated to se in motion the $30,000,000 job probably will not be su'ficienr. Application forms that prev iously had been passed on tenta tively were approved at the meet ing yesterday and 50.000 of them have been ordered printed. They will be turned out immediately so that there will be no more delay than is absolutely necessary in ac commodating those -eterans who wish to take advantage of the act.

If the city will pave the three blocks on North Capitol street lrom Madison street to the point where it would intersect Fair Grounds road, property owners through which the road woud pass are willing to give the righi of way to the city. About a year ago a coraioitiee was appoin'c-J by the Comnjo-cial club to meet with owners of land at the north end of Capitol street and see if some arrangement's could be made about the right of way.
