Lord Birkenhead, former ch'an

Other activities, of the day were
distinctly of a business nature, in
cluding the formal opening of the
convention, by, John .W., Davis of
New York, who gave his address
as president and submission of re
ports of (he executive officers.:
i The development of the British
constitution In the last 50 years
was outlined by Lord Birkenhead,
who compared its flexibility with
the rigidity of the constitution of
the United States, or, as he termed
lher uncontrolled.4
' Mob , Rule Denounced V
Mob rule, false teaching In col
leges, moral qualities of lawyers
- and agitation ''detrimental to
public welfare were denounced
by Pierce Butler, associate jastles
of the United States supreme court
In his address, t
t "It seems lojme," he declared,
"that the bar Is not advancing In
moral 'qualities. The feeling still
exists to la greater or less extent
among the people that lawyers as
V a class are technical, indirect In
conduct and lacking In honesty."
In addition to. the training In
' ' things that make for efficiency,
power of analysis, skill in debate,
a "great or good lawyer must hare
sound character and the standards
which, develop and 'keep lsstlce
and patriotism constantly in
. Tlew., it is well known that
there is much agitation detrimen
tal to public welfare and good
.citizenship; some of It is directed
against the present order.. It Is
, not confined to the alien and Ig
"norant. In some of our colleges
s and nnirersiUes there Is a good
deal of false teachings in the field
of politics and social science. Pro
feasors in -.many instances spread
discontent among the student.
. Good Things Neglected
; "The things that are good and
essential are magnified and the
constitution Is sometimes eon-
- demned , archaic and by some, of
them it is believed that religion
. is a hindrance to social progress.
Those (who would tear down are
much more diligent than those
who support our form of govern
ment. ,- " :. '
"There Is a purpose on the part
of many to demonstrate that laws
which are unpopular or unaccept
able to groups, occupations or par
ticular classes of business, cannot
be enforced. This Is not confined
to laws regulating intoxicating
liquors, but extends to many
others. These things tend toward
destruction of all la w and strikes
t the safety of eoclety." 1 .

1923 RECORD YEAR
FOR B
REALTY. INDICATED
i '
Operations on All Sides, and Many New People
Are Coming Here" and Baying Property
Construction Indicate Most Rapid Growth
. on Entire Pacific Coast.
'. I -
It was stated, in a communication from a widely traveled
Rotarian, in a communication that was read at the neeting
of the Salem Rotary club yesterday, that Salem is the most
beautiful city on the Pacific coast. That is a fine distinction
and a great asset. Salem is also one of the fastest growing
cities in the whole country, in its class as to size and the
reources behind Salem are such that this growth is bound
to be cumulative, because this is the land of diversity and
the country of opportunity, and the full development of the
Salem district will make possible here in Salem a big city,
50,000 before long, and 100,000 before very long, and a half
million in! time.
Since January, 1921 the city
recorder of Salem has Issued
building permits amounting to
practically j two million dollars.
This in itself is a mark Chat it is
doubtful If any other city of like
population on the coast has equal
led. When It Is considered that
in many instances the permits on
file represent but a small propor
tion of the total expenditure, as
in the case of the Bonesteele gar
age, where a permit was issued
for a one-story building and by
the completion of the building this
modest start had expanded to two
full stories with basement.
Then again may ' be taken the
case of the big electric light plant
where the company spent well on
to $200,000 in all. This doee not
appear anywhere in the city per
mit books.! . Much of this was for
machinery, but the actual con
struction work ' ran close to six
figures. At the time that con
struction was started on the ad
dition to . the paper mill it was
thought that $50,000 would cover
the eost,; -buf in the -end many
times that figure was spent, and
rumor has ft that another exten
sive building will be erected in
the near future to help in housing
this giant Industry.
The Northwest Canning com.
pany, on J South Liberty street,
which was but recently completed,
represents an expenditure of some
$100,000, of which total about
one-third Is for the building. The
Bligh building, at Court and High
streets, was erected at a cost of
better than 120,000. The Arthur
H. Moore building, which joins the
Bligh building on the north, will
account for more than $30,001) by
the time that it is completed.
The board of directors of Wil
lamette university has exercised
its usual business acumen by do
ing without a gymnasium until
such time as the money pas pro
vided to build a real gym, and now
that the financial situation has
been cared for, an $80,000 build
ing is being built that Is second
to no college gymnasium in-the
northwest. Likewise at the high
school n i force of carpenters is
Juat finishing putting the roof on
an addition that will make - the
local high school one of the most
up to date Institutions of learning
in the whole United States. This
also will (represent some $80,000
of civic progress.
Real Estate Active
, . Local realtors when interviewed
professed themselves as very op
timistic as to what the future has
in store tor Salem. W. H. Grab
enhorst reports conditions as very
flattering and cites a number of
really important deals handled by
his company In the very recent
past which certainly should be
good cause for optimism. Parker
& Co. "purchased from A. Brown
the lot adjoining the Bonesteele
garage and at once constructed a
modern building designed to ac
commodate 30 workmen. and
wherein it is possible to assemble
one Ford car every day. This rep-J
resents an expenditure or more
than $50,000.
Adolph t Waters are construct
ing a modern building at Court
and Liberty streets - which 'ft " is
presumed will cost at least $15, -04)0.
W. C Dyer, for a consider
ation of $8500, has purchased the
lot located next to the laundry on
Ferry r street. 1 It is understood
that this property was bought for,
an Investment and that there are
no immediate plans for building.
Another deal handled by Grab
enhorst & Co. which it Is under
stood 1 also an Investment, ' was
the purchase by Curtis - Crose of
the lot ; occupied by the Grease
Spot, and formerly : owned by R.
L. Barton. W. S. Fitts. local fish
dealer, has purchased the building
on North Commercial street which
is now4 occupied by his market,
and ' the Square Deal Hardware
company, at an announced expen
diture of $12,500. - Likewise J. C.
UEMM AND
on South Commercial street, for
merly owned by Frank Tyler and
occupied by the Good Eats Cafe
and a pool room.
At 440 Court street a two-story
brick building is being erected by
Colonel Percy Willis at a est of
$16,000. ;
Paul Hendricks, of the firm of
Becke & Hendricks, expressed
every faith in the future activities
of Salem, and added the cheering
assurance jthat the ' majority of
the eastern people who are locat
ing here at the present time are
not the ones who have gone broke
in the middle west during the un
settled period just past, but good
thrifty cltisens with money enough
jingling in their trousers pockets
to assure that they mean business
and have the cash to back up
their judgment in the wonderful
future of this section which has
caused them to leave their old
homes and cast their lot in Sa
lem. ' ?, !i .
W. E. Com p ton reports the sale
of the W. W. Wells property at
1709 Ferry street tJ5. - P.' Ober
shaw of Minnesota, and of the A.
A. JCeene property on Fourth
street to C. P. Briggs of Gates.
"Invest now and make enough
money to be Independent for the
rest of your life," ' is the advice
given by D. D. Socolof sky. , Mr.
Socolofsky prophesies that the
next month will see a tremendous
amount of real estate change
hands in Salem. ' He gives as the
basis for this belief the fact that
more and more of the people of
the east and the -middle west are
learning of the wonderful climate
that Salem has to 'offer.
The fact that in the first 22
days-of June building permits is
sued totaled $68,800, goes to
show that the demand for prop
erty holds and grows : stronger.
The call for homes and places of
business has had .not let-up. There
are still not enough, good homes
to care for, the people who want
them, the schools " are ' being
crowded, the churches are filled
to such, limits .as they never . be
fore knew; the lodges, and : the
streets, and the theaters, and the
stores never before knew what It
was to be crowded, but1 they prom
ise to know it this year.. . U'
Yes, it looks like the record
year for the city; of Salem, and
for the country surrounding.

LONDON, Aug. 29. Princess
Anastasia, wife of Prince C$ris
topherj it : Greece and; formerly
Mrs. Vlllara B. Leeds, widow of
the American tinplate magnate,
died in jier London home tonight.
She passed away at 11:55 without
regaining consciousness. Prince
Christopher, the queen mother
Olga, William B. Leeds Jr. and
his '.wife,.'-" Princess Xenia and
other members of the family were
at the bedside. The immediate
cause of death was cancer com
plicated! by cirrosis of the liver.
May Inter in New, York
It i is thought likely that the
body will : be sent to the ' United
States immediately for burial in
the family mausoleum at Wood
lawn cemetery, New jYork, where
her father and" mother rest, al
though some of the j relatives to
night expressed the hope that the
interment might be in the Greek
royal 1 cemetery at ! Totio, near
Athens,! where .' the late King
Alexander Is interred.
Anastasia was known 'on two
continents as "The ; Dollar Prin
cess." j j Her death, after an ill
ness contracted in Greece three
years ago,', marked a series l ot
tragic; events connectea witn tne
Greek' royal family into which
she chose to marry' against the
wishes bf her relatives. 1
, Trgidy Follows iMarriage
These events began with the
dethronement of King Constan
tino, followed by the death from
a monkey bite of King Alexander,
the return and subsequent exile
pf Constantine, the .Greek revo
lution, t the death of Constantino
and the banishment of the Greek
royal , family, including Prince
Christopher, Anastasia's husband,
from Athens.
The j real malady from which
the princess suffered was cancer
and she spent a considerable
part of her I immense fortune on
renowned physicians of a dozen
nationalities, seeking a cure. - She
apparently enjoyed good- health
upon her last return from Ameri
ca but , the strain of a busy social
season I in Paris and London was
too much for her and soon after
taking up her residence in Lon
don the . disease reasserted itself
and the , most eminent physicians
failed to . overcome It.
J- . Fortune To Htay, Hero
The! great Leeds fortune is so
thoroughly covered in the will of
the late William B. Leeds that it
is thought unlikely there Is any
danger of the enormous funds
leaving' America. The Interest on
the principal, which Princess
Anastasia drew during heir life
time, reverts to her son, William.
In the event of his death the en
tire principal will go to his off

Condemned Prisoner Not
Telling Truth
ALBANY, Ore., Aug. 29. L.
G. Lewelling, district attorney for
Linn county, Tuesday forestalled
any attempt of George Parker to
procure recommendations for a
stay of execution Friday, . when
he declared that, should he be
asked, he will hot make any such
recommendations.
Parker is sentenced to be
hanged Friday at Salem for the
murder of former Sheriff W. J.
Dunlap. ' ' . -
District ' Attorney Lewelling
Bald that, in his opinion, there is
no extenuating circumstance, no
doubtful evidence and no reason
whatsoever why Parker should be
shown leniency.
"If there had been any foun
dation for Parker's statement that
Sheriff Dunlap fired the first
shot I might hesitate to refuse a
recommendation," District Attor
ney Lewelling said.
"But I do not believe one word
of Parker's story and can hold
no opinion but that the murdei
was as clearly proved as any ever
committed. "
J "Parker was given an undeni
ably fair trial. ,His claim that
his bullet riddled cap was barred
by the court as evidence Is not
true. Every , piece of evidence
Parker offered was admitted
without objections from me. I
placed no obstacle ia the way of
Parker's release had he aroused
any doubt as to his guilt.".
District Attorney Lewelling is
convinced, he says, that the bul
let hole in Parker's cap was
placed there by an outside person
who was giving aid, Parker had
introduced the cap as - evidence
that he was Sheriff . Dunlap's
target. ' i .

HARRISBURG, Pa., Aug. 29.
(By the Associated Press) Gov

day laid a proposition before of
ficials of the miners' union and
representatives of anthracite coal
operators on " which he asked
them to compromise the contro
versy which threatens to shut
down the mines on September 1.
His suggestion called for a flat in
crease of. 10 per cent in the pay
of all mine workers; for the abo
lition of all other than eight hour
working day arrangements; for
the dropping by the union of Its
demands for "check-off collec
tion of dues with the provision
that union agents might be sta
tioned in company offices on pay
day to collect from the men; for
"full recognition of the union by
the onerators" and for acceptanc

of the operators' policy conic' i

Tha governor's proposal for a
waae increase was based on the
calculation; that ten per cent
would add 60 cents per ton to the
cost of mining coal and that the
operators, armed, he saia, wua
unusual orofits during recent
months, could absorb 10 centa per
ton of this amount. The remain
