WASHINGTON. March 10.
Charles B. Warren of Michigan

ot th United States by single
vote today in the senate.
I His nomination was rejected,
40 to 40, Vice President Dawes
failing to reach tbe capltol : from

Administration leaders sought
to delay announcement of the re
sult In the hope that the vice pres

time to break the tie.
! Strategy Is Used
v ; With ylctory in their grasp,
democratic opponents of the nom

the roll call be closed with; the
announcement., of vtbe ..result,., but
even then republican leaders re
sorted to further strategy in an
ciiun iu said Liiu uuuiiuauuu
from defeat.
Senator Reed of Pennsylvania
announced that he would change
his vote from yea to nay, that he
might present a motion to recon
sider the question. That changed
the final result technically to 39
for and 41 against confirmation.
As soon as Senator Reed made
his motion, opponents of confir
mation countered with a motion
to lay it on the table, and de
manded a roll call. " That vote,
too, resulted In a tie, 40 to 40,
bat as the vice president, who
could have cast the deciding bal
lot entered the chamber. Senator
Overman of North Carolina, the
only democrat to vote for confir

The meetlrig which was attend

fundamental idea that German
membership in the league is a ne

of all but ' especially England to
adopt no attitude toward the Ger

would have the effect of driving
Germany further away from the

BIDS REJECTED
Offer of $11,600 for Wash
ington School Fails to In
terest Board Members ;
No startling offer was made -for
the Washington school ' when bids
were opened, at the regular meet

Only one bid was opened, and tit
was ,for an offer of 111,600 for
the "property : and was, made by
Homer Smith; who represented T.
B. Kay and H. Smith 1st the deal.
Without much hesitancy, on the
partof the board -tliebid was re-
Jetted and the- certified check or
dered returned to the senders.
Fireworks that was expected at
the meeting ot the school officials
was lacking, f F.J. Lafky, former
member of the board, was present
and made brief .remarks concern
ing the disposal of the property.
Mrs. Gertrude J. M. Page approv

in rejecting the' bid and thiis con

district. : j ; !
"This is the first time I have
ever attended the pchool .board
meeting,", was the remark of Dan
J. Fry. "I oppose the sale of the
property, at such a , low bid," he
said. "'If . the school board needs
money so bad that the school must
be sold, I think some other means
of - securing money can be ar

WINS DAMAGES
AGAINST D1I0I
Judgment of $110,243.19
: Awarded By Supreme
Court Yesterday Against
Salem Fruit Union
GROWERS MAY BE SUED
ON CONTRACT FORFEIT
Appointment of Receiver for
Fruit Union Is AsKea
By Company
The Pne's company has finally
won a decision in its long continu
ed litigation with the Salem Fruit
union, and In a mandate delivered
to: the county clerk yesterday by
the supreme court. Is awarded a
Judgment of $110,243.19 against
the union.
By the Phes company winning
the fight it is thought that the Sa
lem Fniit union will come tp an
end, and numerous small suits will
probably be Instituted against lo
ganberry growers who entered in
to contracts with, the union. y i
Application has been made by
the Phez company for the appoint
ment of a receiver to take charge
of the affairs of the fruit union.
the total assets of which are de
clared to not exceed $60,000. Fri
day, March 13, is set as the day
for the appointment of the re
ceiver.
The building, owned by the Sa
lem FruJt union,' Is valued at ap
proximately 130,000. A reserve
fund, ' which amounts to about
916,000 is Bald to be practically
void, due to goternment liens and
back income taxes. The property
on., which, the building stands is
well located in the canning district
of Salem, and is worth consider
ably morethan- the actual value
of the, building itself.
I .: The '-coatract suit problemThas
not been definitely settled. The
difficulty arises from two agree
ments made by- the growers. , A
suit tor 10 cents a crate damages
will undoubtedly be started
against some of the growers who
originally signed a contract to de
liver their berries to the union,
with the clause, attached, that, if
they failed to make such deliver
ies a forfeit of 10 cents on the
crate would be collected. Under
a later contract, the damage clause
"was stricken out. Those growers
who signed the later contract are
now declared exempt from any
suit by the Phez company. In
the event that all the damages can
be collected from the growers,
about 110,000 will be realized.
The decision of the supreme
court now closes the famous case
which has been continued off and
on for the last three years. All
court action is now stopped with
the exception of the minor suits
against the individual growers.

Serious Shortage of "Family
Physicians" Decried; Are
Now Specialists
CIUCAGO,' March 10. Conflict
of opinion developed today at the
annual congress on education of
the American Medical association
concerning the cause , and remedy
for what, leaders agreed to be an
ominous shortage of family doc
tors. : - V
' "The. increased number of medi
cal graduates, cited from this plat
form," declared Dr. William Allen
Pusey of Chicago, president of the
association, "means no more to
the needs of the ordinary citizen
than does the increased output of
ten thousand dollar automobiles.
. "Medical service, is tobogganing
toward breakdown or revolution.
This is to be expected when the
preparation ; for our' profession
costs 7o per cent more than pre
paration for any other profession
As a result medical graduates ar
preferring the better rewarded
careers . of specialists to ordinary
service-ef the ordinary sick. The
country doctor baa almost van
ished and the family doctor of the
cities will vanish too." ,
Dr. Pusey replied vigorously to
critics of his. views and took isBue
with views of previous speakers,
who had warned against "lower
ing educational standards." He
declared that medical education,
"once the poor relation, now the
spoiled child' of education; had
become too luxurious to live with
in its inflated income. He insist
ed that 'three years of collegiate!
residence and a fourth of appren
ticeship, rather than four or five
years of collegiate residence, were
ample for training ordinary prac
titioners, and that medical college
requirements must be made less
exacting.
