BILLY SUNDAY IS TOPIC

- eat fbVSermoo Monday
Morning !
Dissatisfaction, with Mrs. Victo
ria Booth-Chllborn .. Demarest,
evangelist, . who was brought to
Salem, more than a year ago, was
expressed Monday morning at the
first meeting of the fiscal year of
the Salem Ministerial Assdeiatiori.
Rev. E. H. Shanks, pastor of the
First Baptist church,, declared
that the woman evangelist, since
her appearance in Salem, "has
gone over hokus pokus to the boly
rollers." It was explained that
Mrs. Demarest had good church
tf-edentials, and some of the mem
bers of the association stated that
because of these credentials no
i ' could be blamed for the mis-
The question was raised at the
meeting as to whether or not, the
First Mthodiat church is safe to
house the crowd that is anticipat
ed " for the Billy . Sunday meeting
to be held next Monday morning
at 10 o'clock,, It was -suggested
that the Armory be considered,
but in the end the ministers came
to the conclusion that the church
is not only safe enough, but that
for the purpose it will be the
more desirable of the two. The
church, stated Rev. Fred C. Tay
lor, its pastor, has a seating ca
pacity of 1200. It was learned
definitely at the meeting that Dr.
H. C. Epley has consented to or
ganize and, direct a choir gotten
together especially for the occa
sion. Every minister present in
dicated that liis church and him
self U behind the Billy; Sunday
meeting. - .!;";. v-
Several of the ministers ex
pressed the desire to corner Billy
Sunday for a special luncheon at
a jlocal hotel, to which ministers
and their wives' would be present
with the evangelist. But it was
brought out that there is a gen
eral understanding that Billy
Sunday is to dine with the Cham
ber of Commerce. A committee
consisting of Rev. Shanks and C.
A. Kells was. appointed, however,
for the purpose of investigating
the proposition and of determin
ing the chances lor a special
luncheon for Mr. Sunday and the
ministers of the city : and their
wives.
Rev. Norman K. Tully and
Rev. R. L. Putnam were appoint
or to nerve as a committee of
two for the ; purpose of confer
ring with the Salem newspapers
with th object in view or mas:

would be a good thing it some
of - our sermons were cut to
pieces. Perhaps then we would
learn only points that a.-e vital

stated it as his belief that "ojir

Declares E. A. O'Neill, Gen
eral Manager!
"The spirit of cooperation Is
excellent in Salem," declared E.
A. O'Neill, vice president and gen
eral manager of the new Western
Paper Converting company now
being established in Salem, in an
address presented to the Chamber
of Commerce at its weekly luneh
eon Monday. "That is one of the
chief reasons why we are locating
in Salem." The new company
represents $200,000 cajpital, and
will soon be I catering for trade
throughout the United States, and
eventually throughout the world.
To begin with, 100 men will be
employed by the company, Mr.
O'Neill stated, and said that this
would mean that. Salem would be
given a large payroll that is now
being given elsewhere, '
Defining the use of; the word
converting, Mr. O'Neill explained
that it means "the carrying on of
a definite process." The company
will take the paper of hich quality
manufactured by the Oregon Pulp
& Paper company, and will con
vert it into paper doilies, paper
lace, glasine bags, and wrappers
for candy harsi, soap wrappers,
grease proof ham wrappers, add
ing machine paper roils, rolla for
cash registers. This, declared Mr.
O "Seill. Will require a "highly
technical process invented in Ger
many and at present used by only
two other plants in the United
States." ; ;
At the present time the Oregon
Pulp & Paper company has to send
its product out! of the state and
sometimes away from the coast in
order to have the specialty work
done, and as soon as the new com
pany is established, it will receive
all this work, not only thereby af
fording the paper company the
opportunity of j having the work
done next door, as it were, but
Salem will reap the benefits of
the capital represented in the new
company by the establishing of a
greater payroll.:

Sub-Station in East Salem to Be
Recommended of City Bud
get Committee
The fire department is asking
for $59,130 from the budget this
yearv according to an estimate
drawn up by Chief H. R. Hutton,
and submitted to Alderman W. H.
Dancy, chairman of the fire and
water committee. This is an in
crease of $17,101 over the amount
allotted the fire department in the
last budget. The largest Item of
this is salaries, which also ac
counts for the most of the in
crease. Due to -the shortage of
men to handle the trucks, the
chief is asking for the services of
four additional men to man the
trucks. This brings the salary es
timate up to $55,060 as compared
to $37,560 allowed for salaries in
the last budget.
In addition to this sum. Chief
Hutton is recommending that a
one story, hollow tile station be
erected on the city's property on
'East Ferry at a cost of $5000.
This would be used for the pur
pose of housing one pumper and
one chemical company. Besides
this, the chief suggests establish
ing an additional combination
pumper in North and South Sa
lem, and the. installing of a fire
alarm system consisting of 15 or
20 boxes. The budget asks $4070
for the maintains of the present
tire station and system.
The water department, accord
ing to Alderman Dancy, is in need
of 57501. Of this $6300 would
be used for water to supply the
fire hydrants. The departjent
feels that 15 new &yd rants are
needed in the city because of its
rapid growth, and for these and
their installation, the department
is seeking $1201.

SUCCESSOR: NOT NAMED

Candidate; for Cabinet
Appointment
WASHINGTON. Oct. 12. (By
Associated Press.) John W.
Weeks placed his resignation as
secretary of war in President
Coolidge's hands today. Formal
announcement of his withdrawal
from the cabinet because of his
health is expected tomorrow after
his last attendance at a cabinet
meeting. ; j
Plans for the selection of his
successor have not been disclosed.
It has been the! president's custom
in the past, however, to couple his
announcement of the retirement
of a member of his official family
with the publication of the name
of the successor. He followed that
course when Secretary Hujrhes re
signed and was succeeded by
Frank B. Kellogg, then ambassa
dor to London;
If the president follows the
same course tomorrow, it appear
ed probable tonight that he would
name Dwight F. Davis of "Missouri
for the war portfolio. Mr. Davis
has' been the assistant secretary
of war since J. Mayhew Wain

Public Schools and Civic Organi
zations Are Asked to Offer
Exercises
Public schools, educational in
stitutions, civic and commercial
organizations are called upon In a
proclamation issued by Governor
Pierce to observe Navy Day, Octo
ber 27. The plea is made torn
larger appreciation of the value
and Importance of the American
navy- as an instrument for main
taining the nation's present high
place in the civilization of the
world. The proclamation reads:
"One hundred and fifty years
ago this autumn the Second Con
tinental Congress, composed of less
than 50 determined men, was in
session in Philadelphia. On Octo
ber 27, 1775, that congress passed
an act creating the American navy.
Nothing could have seemed more
preposterous than the passage of
that act at a time when the Brit
ish ships of war dominated every
sea. The American navy first be
came famoye by an action in the
English Channel. The smallv poor
ly equipped "Ranger," of 18 guns,
under the indomitable leadership
of John Paul Jones, won a victory
over the larger,- better equipped
English vessel, "Drake," of 20
guns,. the news of which astonish
ed the world.. For a century and
a half the American navy has an
unparalled record of achievement
in naval warfare. Under the guid
ance of such men as Decatur, Far-
r.agut; Perry, Dewey and Schley,
our ehips have written .page after
page of imperishable records in
the annals of human progress.
"The act authorizing our navy
resulted in securing from France
the help and assistance so sorely
needed at the beginning of our
struggle for , independence.
"October 27 is also the birthday
of Theodore Roosevelt, whose con
sistent championship of a greater
and a ; stronger navy gave to us
thefse unconquerable armaments
that now ride the great oceans, as
suring -peace- at home, .carrying
our prestige to distant lands and
acting as a shield to our far-flung
world commerce. r
"On the' anniversary . of these
two gTeat events It Is both nttln&r
and proper that the attention of
the people be called to this historic
late, that the day may be observed
by all public-spirited organizations
and schools, so that our children
may recognize the debt of grati
tude which we owe to those who
made possible this marvelous civil
ization." ACCIDENTS ARE FATAL
