OREGON, WEDNESDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 25. 1925, 7 Oil BUIKSOi Expected Delegation of Pro testing Citizens 'Fails to Make Appearance at the Meeting 4-ast Wight CASH OFFER IS MADE BUT ACTION DEFERRED Cole la Lone Bidder for $11, 000; . Decision -to be Made f Thuraday Noon I From eVery Indication and with out doubt the Washington school building will be transferred to new owners TbufsiJay noon, according to action taken , .by the school board last night. Only one bid was1? received - In -response to the advertising of the school board, board. 'ihe advertisements In the newspapers, powers erected upon the school grounds and other means failed to bring buyers to the meeting with their bids. Thomas E. Cole, the only and successful bidder presented a cash ier's check t for , $11,000 in pay ment for the grounds and all the buildings thereon and their con tents except school furniture. Ac ceptance of the bid, however, was postponed by the -Illness, of Curtis Cross, ;who was confined to his home. This caused the proposi tion to be -postponed -until the Thursday noon, when the mem bers of the school board are to meet at the Marion hotel. Citizens Are Absents - Members of the school-board v were expecting a delegation of citi zens to be at the meeting last night to air their views of the pro posed sale of the school building. Not a single person, except the bidder was present. ; Consequent tytfe : board. was uninformed as to the sentiment of the people. In addition, the decision was held owing to the absence of the board members. 'i Within two years, it is estimat ed, the old Washington building will be beyond repair and almost a total loss. Within three years the building will be a loss to the school district, because of the great deterioration going on at the present time. No one is living in the building, j and consequently vandals have had an opportunity to destroy many of the fixtures. This chance has been used, as the broken winlow paries, the spoiled wires, the damaged ceilings and broken furniture will testify. Upkeep Is High If the school board rejects the bid of $11,000 for any reason it will mean that some one must be placed In the building to keep it open. Improvements amounting to more than $5000 must be made in order to have the building safe for occupancy. A new roof must be placed on the large structure; and other details attended to. It' will cost the taxpayers about $80 to $ 1 00 a month to keep the build ing open. According to all re ports, it is unsafe for school pur poses, and an amount of money equal to the price quoted to the school board must be expended before the building Is safe. . Members of the school board are favorable towards the accept ance of the bid, tendered last night, because it will mean the saving of several thousand dollars to the taxpayers, and the transfer of the responsibility for the build ing. , ; W ' Three Myers Mixed Up SimHarity Is Confusing Similarity of names often caus es much confusion. Frank G. Myers, proprietor of the Spa, has been receiving mail intended for Frank A. Myers for some time and was becoming accustomed to this .when he discovered in the paper that there was still another Frank Myers in Salem. Not only this but Mr. Myers, the third, has the identical initials of Mr. Myers, the first. Mr.. Myers, of the Spa, first became aware of this when he read of Mr. Myers, the thirds. Initiation f In Tthe Knights of Columbus.,' Mr. Myers, of the Spa, Is anxious to meet Mr. Myers, the third, and is willing to "set up the drinks" if Mr. Myers, the third, will drop ardund to the Spa and get acquainted , Mr. Myers, the third, is a new comer to Salem, and .la a young man attending the Salem high school. - SCHOOL: REIT TO S State i Cashier : Shortage in Funds of Nearly $5000 in Cash Shortages covered 'for a'nkrlo'd of three years hare been brought to ngnt in the state " treasurer's office wlth'C.

Upon taking over the office the amount ' was found to ' be short. but ; for Ja. time a. clerical error was blamed.

Cap-per-Haugen Measure; Action Is Taken . WASHINGTON, Feb. 24 Farm legislation in the form of the Capper-Haugen cooperative mar keting bill was given preferred status today on the legislative pro gram behind the general omnibus pension measure which had right of way after the pending banking legislation has been disposed of. Action of the republican steering committee in j rearranging its pro gram was taken after. Senator Borah, republican, Idaho,'- had made another, demand for an ex tra session of congress to consider a comprehensive program of "farm aid. Characterizing the Capper- Haugen measure as "makeshift," he said failure, to enact reaffariri legislation promptly would be a betrayal of trust "by the republican party. Republican ; leaders, . In making public the program to night, said the- "farm relief bill had not been placed at the top of the list because those In-charge of this legislation desired to await action of the house so that the measure passed there might be substituted for the pending senate bill as a means of expediting final a'ction. ... : ' . . . ; : The rivers and harbors authori zation bill is third on the legisla tive list and proponents of. the Cape Cod canal purchase bill and the Gooding long and short haul bill are planning to attach these proposals to It as riders.

CORPSE EOT BE HELD FOB MM Supreme Court Gives Ruling on Case; Undertaker'De v nounced by Judge OLYMPIA, Wash., Feb. 24. -A corpse cannot be held for payment of a debt, the state supreme court decided here today in deciding that Mrs. Mary Gadsbury "of Se attle was entitled to bring a suit for damages against the Bleita Undertaking & Cremation com pany, thus reversing the King county 'superior court which en tered an order . dismissing the suit. , , The high court ordered a new -trials f i a '-:.: i 4 Mrs. Gadsbury brought an ac tion for damages against the un dertaking company for personal Injuries sustained, from the shock of being informed by the under taken two weeks after the sup posed funeral of her son that the body would not be cremated until she had paid funeral expenses for a son-in-law who had died some fifteen months before. The trial court dismissed the suit on the ground that the evi dence was Insufficient to take the case to the Jury. The supreme. cOurt denounced the action of the undertaker. "It may well be said, that It Is hard to conceive of more . cruelty "and wilful wrong than that which the evidence shows .was practiced in this easel It; Is :doubtful if any threat Could be more calculated not only to compel payment of the debt but "also to produce mental anguish and suffering; and It was thought that by first creatic-j the suffering jpaymat would 'follow to put an end to the mental torture."- .- TILE DEALS iR PLAiJ IS LOST Vote of 1 5 to 1 4 defeats Sub?Hormal School Meas- . ure; Passage of Ashlanq Bin Held Cause V I SENATORS AGREE THAT.

Most of the -opponents -of the bill based their objections on the fact that appropriations had just been voted for the normal school at Ashbind, and that a favorable vote f . on the Beals'. plan would, be a waste of money.- Practically; all agreed, however, that the bill, as outlined by Senator, Beals, con tained real merit, and there is no doubt it would hare carried easily if the ; Ashland' appropriation had I not -been -made.. .--,-;'..; ,;,-i Senator Beals, . who has never figured much .as 'an -orator,; arose and m a commonplace, earnest-f manner, without once raising bis voice, delivered one of the strong est arguments ever heard in the senate.

An appropriation of 125,000 was 'granted for the Independence normal school, after a long de bate,, in which economy and the need for more schools took a pro minent place. Senator Ritner de clared himself in favor of the measure, stating that "Oregon has been altogether too niggardly- in her dealing with normal schools, and too liberal in her endowments to the University of Oregon, and the Oregon Agricu Itural college." The appropriation bill carried by a rote of only 17 to 12. Senator Joseph's resolution for a constitutional amendment to control the hydro-electric power, of the state was gently put to sleep, having an .adverse report, from the committee to . which it was as signed. - Senator Joseph made a strong address on this subject but the majority report was against it Senator Joseph's resolution re garding the recall was ; adopted. This provided that in recall elec tions the simple proposition of re call Is up.
