Contract to Purchase Brings Suit in Court A contract to buy a houso for $1300 and payment to be made at the rate of $5 a month has brought both parties concerned into the Marion county circuit court. The su't is entitled A. Balch against V. C. Balch and S. A. Balch. The plaintiff alleges that an agreement was made with the two defendants to buy lot 14 in block 3 of Broadway addition to Salem and that payments were to be made at the rate of $5 a month. It is also alleged that the de fendants took possession of the property on their agreement to pay the $5 a month and that they have refused to pay. The plaintiff asks fojr posession jof the property or the payment to him of 11300 and $125 attorney's fees.

A levy of 4.6 mills will bring in the required amount. St. Paul is assessed at $55,962 and the cost of Its government this year will amount to $251.82. To secure this amount the levy for St. Paul tor local expenses is 4.5 mills. According to the Marion coun ty tax roll which will be turned over to the tax collector Monday by Oscar A. Steelhammer, asses sor, the amount of taxes to be col lected amounts to $1,685,936.92. One year ago the tax roll amounted to $1,695,120.67, show ing that the amount to be collect ed this year in taxes is little more than $9000 less than a year ago. White many counties in the state have fallen down in valua tion, Marion county is one of the favored ones, as the valuation as shown by the tax tolls in the as sessor's office Is $42,091,057.

SUITS TO RECOVER ARE FILED BY STATE (Continued from page 1) act provided for the selection of all swamp land accruing to the state under the swamp land act of 1860. It was required that when applications for the lands were made, 20 per cent of the purchase price must be raid on application and the remainder upon proof ot reclamation. In 1878 the law of 18 0 was re pealed and the new act provided for the sale of swamp lands in parcels of not over 320 acres to any one person. It further pro vided, however, that persons ap plying under the'act of 1870 and who had fully complied with the conditions, includ'ng the payment of the 20 per cent on application, were entitled to the lands ap plied for. Ijiw Xot Followed All the deeds now attacked by the state In the suits filed Satur day were issued after the act of 878 went into effect. It is not the state's contention that the persons Involved were not en titled to deeds because they had not fully complied with the law of 1870. The state also contends that proofs of reclamation furn ished were false and that the lands were not reclaimed. ENDEAVOR.

Klcction Is Today It had be?n announced that tho election of officers would be held Saturday night, but through a failure of the nominating commit tee to aiiree on all the officers for the coming year, the election had to hold over. The committee will have until 3 o'clock to rassle with tho problem. A budget of $4000 was agreed upon as necessary to carry on the state convention activities for the ensuing year. In the meeting last night, a sum aggregating a little more than $2500 was raised, by personal and by district and indi vlrual church subscriptions. This will be augmented by commissions on the subscriptions to the-Chrib-tian Endeavor World magazine, by outside personal and alumni gifts, so that the full quota asked for will probably be assured. Today's lrojrram The program for today is: Meeting of the seniors at the armory at 10:1.". Church services at 11, in all the Salem churches, the delegates' choice. Senior rally and junior pageant, at the armory. 2 o'clock. Intermediate Endeavor. Pres byterian church at 2 o'clock. General meeting of convention at armory at 3 o'clock: election of officers, address, special music, general convention business. Song service at armory at 7 o'clock; followed by devotiona! service, address, special. music, in stallation of officers, closing and good-bye. DAYTON GIRL'S LOVER AGAIN HALTS MARRIAGE (Continued from page 1) for the man who had preyed upon her for the satisfaction of his own bestial desires. However, Frances is not dnd. "I don't want to live if Dave Ann' mnrrv ma Hilt if 1 live. want his naSvie for our baby." she moan?. Over ?.nd oer her ar-sn'c-burned lips repeat the nsnie of the man whom she claims has wronged her. One of th? terrible tbr.gs about arsenic poisoning is that full conscionsness must persist uncior NOW 75 YEARS YOUNG. for dead r-. I 1 J. . XT' Vs, th" excruciating pain. Frances worries about David. 'Take care of yourself. Dave. Keep wrapped up warm and don't get s'ck," she told h:m on one of the few occasions when he enter ed the room. David is takine good care or h'.mself. He sullenly listens to the appeals of officials and friends who ask him to do the square th'ing and comfort the stricken girl by giving her a ritt to his name. When this bores him too much lie lights a cigarette and bears the discussion in silence. "How could you raise your head among your fellow men if you refused to stand by this girl?" a clergyman asked Robinson. "Oh, I'd just go on ahead. The fellows don't bother a chap for a little thing like that." "I guess you are right," the minister replied. "There are any number of fellows who have been received into society while the girl carried the burden of sorrow as best she could." David may marry Frances to day. And then, again, he may not. If he does give her his name and stand by her, which more, he will earn the admiration of every deefnt man and woman. If he takes advantage of the legal lim itation in the matter, he can eas ily sidestep any responsibility. Clearly, it's up to David. Frances' mother, Mrs. S. Lit scher of Dayton, is spending ev ry moment by her daughter's bedside, fighting for the life of the little girl, for Frances, al though 21 Is small for her age and in the pain-touched eyes is something that testifies she is on ly a little girl after all. "I am praying that the doctor's are wrong and that Frances will live," bravely asserts Mrs. Lit scher. Mr. Litscher will arrive in Salem today. He is associated with the Dayton Hardware com pany, and is well known here. Many friends of the family offered their assistance yesterday. Frances has for nearly two years been employed with the Dayton Tribune, having been em ployed as a linotype operator, and print room assistant. Miss Litscher's condition took a change for the worse at 1:10 o'clock this morning, according to a report from the sanitarium. Paralysis of the throat muscles has been noted with other indi cations of the unfavorable reac t!on of arsenic poisoning. Phy sicians state that this condition might continue for several days. ACTION UPON TREATIES IS YET UNKNOWN (Continued from page 1) fore the committee before it goes on to the other seven conference agreements that await Hen ate ap proval. Bloc Xot Feare4. The party leaders on both, sides of the chamber are convinced .that the disagreements and delays en countered will in no way endan ger ratification of any of the trea ties. Thus far there is no evi dence that any closely knit' anti treaty 'bloc" has been attained. The first test of strength in the committee may be during the com ing week over a proposal to pur sue further the question for de tailed information regarding the fbur power treaty negotiations. President Harding is expected to inform the senate Monday, in re sponse to its resolution of inquiry, that no minutes of the negotia tions were complete. But it was indicated today that such a re ply might not be acceptable to some committee members and that effort might be made to sum mon Secretary Hughes, the Amer ican delegation head, home from Bermuda where he has gone for a rest. Hueiws Needed Both Senators Lodge and Un derwood, who were members of the delegation, have told their colleagues that virtually all lour party negotiations were carried on in the "informal" meetings of the "b'g four" delegation heads and those who want the information argue that the one-man who can give it should be before the com- mittee. Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, ranking Democratic member of the committee and author of the resolution of Inquirv. plans to leave Washington Monday for a western trip which probably will keep him away until the end of tbe week. In his absence, tho ef fort to secure additional daU is expected by committee members to be taken up by several Repub licans including Borah. Idaho; Johnson, California, and Brande gee, Connecticut. In addition to these three, Senators Moses of Ne wHamp shire and McCormlck of Illinois. "lrreconcilables ba tall ion" of the Versailles treaty fight and the five together make up an element of the Republican "committee memtwrh;p which the leaders are watching with particular interest. All five hare expressed doubts about provisions of the four-power treaty, and it is realized that should they effect a working agreement with the Democratic members the result would be a combination strong enough to dic tate committee action. Democrat Silent The exact purpose of th Iem- ocrats. however, still is conjectur-; al. Senator I'nderwood. as Demo cratic leader, is conf dent that few Democrat'c votes will be recorded against the treaty and that Sena- i tor Hitchcock has indicated that j he would vote for it after sin porting reservation". The atti tude of the Democrat senators classed as dyed-in-the-wool sup porters of Woodrow Wilson re mains a waiting one. and all ot them declare that so far as the former president has shown ttb de sire to take a hand in the ratifi cation discussions. Both S?nators ttcrah and ttran dazee are cons dering drafts of reservations to the four-nower pact, which may come before the committee during the coming week. In the main their sugges tions are said to have centered about thes? four qualifications: That the treaty shall not be con strued as requiring use of force without express congressional authorization; that violation of the treaty by any signatory shall automatically terminate it as to the others: that adjustments reached rnder tba treaty shall be subject to senate ratification and that the provisions for action when rights are threatened by an outside power shall apply only when the threat is "unprovoked." ComiwUteo in Kecros While the senate and the com mittee were In recess today, some of the members also made plans to obtain more information about other treaties In the conference series, and it developed that the move to seek the advice of Am erican naval authorities regard-' ing the fortifications article of the naval limitation treaty had gained further support. Senator Johnson Indicated that he would take formal action next week to bring naval experts before the committee. A report of the sen ate naval committee, made last May, regarding the annual naval appropriation bill, will be quoted by the California senator to sup port his request. In that report the naval committee declared it had been advised by naval men that Guam was "of the greatest strategical importance" as a na val base, whereas under the treaty the United States pledges not to erect further fortifications there. Mr. Johnson wants to question men from who mthe na val committee got Its advice, and ask them what has occurred, to change the situation. EL! TO TIX TMS S. M, Endicott and Mrs. Bishop Speakers Before Salem Gathering An interesting meeting ot the Salem Grange was held at Labor hall Saturday afternoon. S. M. Endicott addressed the assembly on state taxes, propos ing a number of tests for the fit ness of officers to be elected this year. One of these was the de mand that official salaries be cut sqiiarely in two, from the gover nor and the new superintendent of the Boys' Training school, clear down the line. "Put It up to the highly paid men in the colleges and all the offices, to take a cut in the wages that are so much higher than the farmer who .works all the time can. 'possibly make, and see If you don't still have a full corps of officers and if you don't get all the old one, you'll get new ones who will do it!" The speaker proposed this as one certain test for official re commendation this year. Mrs. C. P. Bishop appeared, by special invitation, to explain some of the conditions relating to the Boys' training school building. She said that the present school grounds had been known as the "poorest farm in Marion county" for 30 years; that on report of Secretary Slingerlund of the Rus sell Sage foundation, it was not adapted to the purpose of a farm to teach boys. Mrs. Bishop announced her un derstanding that the governor is calling a conference- of social workers to meet the coming week to discuss the location, the plans, and the general problem of the boys' school. A truce has been called in the carrying out of the first plans, she said, pending some further investigation. "But I will not aoDear before Mr Kuser " tho ciuiVa. . ... uciaicu. "He has not been In Oregon two weeks. If the notice for the meet ing says tha Mr. Kuser Is to set tle it, that settles the meeting." The Grange took no action on the training school matter other than to applaud the speaker in iici uei-tarauon mat it waa "a j shame to waste the people's irion ey in building on a site that she said was expensive, unfitting, and that would always be a drain on taxes to try to, cover up Us nat ural deficiencies. v A London newspaper, hearing that a riot had taken place in a small Irish town, telegraphed to Its correspondent: "Send 300 words riot."
