Salem to Send Large Dele gation to Portland to Hear Speaker. Salem is to send a large dele gation to Portland the coming week: to attend the John R. Mott YMCA meetings. The local Y has 12 members as delegates, besides the paid officials. The Willamette branch has 12; i tse county Y, with Edwin Socoiofsky as secre tary, will have 12 delegates, and two from each of its fvepcounty Hi-Y societies, or 22 In ah. Some of the delegates go Tuesday night.1 Most of them go early Wednesday morning for a two days stay. Mr. Mott is I reckoned as the greatest ' YMCA worker in the world. He was a student in Cor nell university taking up a course In international law, when the urge came to take up the YMCA. He has become a really great fig ure in- international diplomacy. Theodore Roosevelt I said of "him, that if he had kept to political af fairs instead of religious, - he would have been the youngest president in American history. Mr. Mott Is making a tour of the larger YMCA organizations, giving them the benefit of his dy namic energy and his world ex perience. A number of the Will amette boys are starting in for YMCA work for life, and there is a demand for several times as many graduates a the course has supplied. : The notable success of the boys who have gone into the Y work from Willamette in the past two or three years has no counterpart in any collegiate Y work anywhere in the west. Will amette outranks anything else on the coast in its collegiate Y train ing. All the : Y classes ' from ' the university will - make the Mott trlp Jli l Another more extended trip. Is planned for the advanced ' Y class from Willamette, when they, leave on March 24 for a four of all the larger associations of the' north wests Tsey will go to Frotland, Tacoma, , Seattle, Olymplt and Centralla, where they are to be shown through every department of. each local iY; and given a fuU insight into the inside workings of. a, really up-to-date association. C. A. Kells took his class of five boys on such a trip Ia3t spring, and they could have b rough home 2 0 signed contracts, ; if there had been that many of them, so keen was te Wdding for the Willamette-trained workers. Three of the boys did t accept contracts, and have made exceptionally brilliant records. ' J -; , Read .the ' Classified Ads.

Commercial and Court Street JANITORS ID TillS FIGHT Apartment Residers Sure to Pay Increased Fee for Being Let in. VIENNA, Mar. 6 The recall ing of things as they used to ba does not come amiss in Vienna, for in s the old days there were many things so pleasant in this city that their ; recollection and discussion, today serves often to lighten (he gloom of a dull winter.- Take, for Instance the Vienna hausmelster, the Janitor ' of Am erican cities, but a dignified, glorified, useful and. even courte ous janitor. It was his custom to open the doors of apartment houses after 10 o'clock at night tor the belated, and to exact a fee of 20 heller, 4 cents, for the service. No one minded it; foreigners found it mediaeval' and ; amusing. For two centuries or more the fee had been 20 heller, and its col lection through, a year was some times enough to send the janitor's children to school. Courts Permit Increase Now the hausmeisters and the tenants are in a bitter feud. The courts have permitted an increase in this fee in a ruling; ! the loose wording of which has been seized upon by the .hausmeisters as au thorization for a charge ths ten ants call utterly unreasonable. They are refusing to pay it, and in retaliation the hausmeisters, on the inside, of the doors, are refus ing to let them in to their own apartments If the tenant reaches the threshold ot his house 'one minute after 10 o'clock. Some tenants are so determined to "put an end to the outrage" that, when refused admission, they are turning to the nearest police sta tion, and demanding shelter i for the night. Thus it was recently reported In the newspapers that in one district of the city alone no fewer than 17 persons spent i the night in the lockup in preference to meeting the exactions of the grasping hausmelster. I Prof essors Decline Title i i - Another incident : of today re calls the time wnen Hofrat, or court counselor, was a title that carried with it In Vienna some thing worth, while. Many, a wo-, man waa happy, in the old days when she could order calling cards bearing the inscription "Fran Hofrat A few days ago the senate ot the University of Vienna notified the government that professors would henceforth decline, the title, and that those now possessed of it had decided to drop it. Since the tall of the monarchy it has been handed out so freely to men Ul.all walks of life that' It i has lost all the distinction it ever en joyed.
