The school board is confronted
with the proposition of an In

tremely, out of proportion to.. the
amount of money that can be ob
tained thU year by I taxes. t1 The
estimates for the coming budget

last year, while the six per cent tax
limitation will1 allow only 18000
more to be obtained through tax

The biggest item in the increase

of teachers' salaries. Ten new
teachers hare. been added to the
Salem school system and several
teachers who hare stayed over two

makes a total increase in the pay
ro.l of the Salem school teachers
of $17,000. In last year's budget
5216.750 was allowed for leach

A. J. Weston. Found Cuiltv of
Killing Robert Krug, Gets
Clemency
A. J. Weston, three times con
victed - for second degree murder
in connection with the death of
Robert H. Krug, an aged resident
q Sisters, Deschutes county, In
1919, and a life termer at the
state prison, was granted a full
pardon by Governor Pierce yester
day. Weston, it is said, will prob
ably be released from the peniten
tiary today. .iThe governor re
fused to comment on. the pardon
ether than to say that he had in
vestigated the facts connected
with the case and believed Weston
vas innocent.
Evidence introduced by the
prosecution during the three trials
Indicated that the rinie tor which
Weston "was convicted was one of
the" most brutal killings recorded
in Oregon. According to the tes
timony, Krug was first struck over
the head with a club and later tor
tured in an' attempt to force him
to reveal the Place where he was
supposed to have a considerable
sum of money hidden. After Krug
had died his body was placed on
a bed and the house was fired in
an attempt to cover all traces of
the killing.
Weston was arrested in connec
tion with the murder about 18
months after it had been commit
ted. His detention was ;brought
about by information furnished by
Joe Wilson and George Slllwell,
two men employed with Weston at
a logging camp not far from the
s ene of the crime.
The first two trials took place
n'Bend. . In each case the case
was carried to the supreme court
and both times the decision of the
lower court was reversed , by Jus
tice Brown. The next trial, was
held in Wasco county- under a
change of venue, and was again
convicted of second degree murder
in connection with, the killing and
was sentenced to a life term in the

Lieutenant Doollttle late today
catapulted his black Curtlss racer
across a three kilometer course in
the fastest time ever made by a

It was made on a special speed
test which Lieut. Doolittle entered
alone. . .
.The dashing; army pilot made
his premier mark under conditions
that were by no means ideal, with
a quartering wind .taking the

Nature of Disciplinary , Action
Against Colonel Is to Be
. "tVeclded
WASHINGTON, j Oct. 27. (By
Associated Press.). Colonel Wil
liam Mitchell of the army air ser
vice, will face a general court mar
tial tomorrow on charges growing
out of his use of such phrases as
"criminal negligence" and "almost
treasonable" in statements he is
sued shortly after the Shenandoah
disaster criticizing j the conduct of
array and navy'aviation affairs.
Charges specifying violation of
the 96th article of war by Col.
Mitchell tonight were in the hands
of Col. Sherman Moreland, who as
trial judge advocate, will present
thc-m tomorrow to the court mar
till which was appointed by direc
tion of President Coolidge to de
cide whether the ! air officer is
guilty of "conduct to the prejudice
of good order and military disci
pline" and determine what, if any,
disciplinary action! shall be taken
against him.
Most of the 13 officers selected
to serve as members of the court
had reached Washington tonight
but none was willing to discuss the
case they had been called from
various sections of the country to
pass judgment upon. Neither Col.
Mitchell nor his counsel had any
thing to add to their previous
statements beyond the assertion
that they were prepared for the
trial.
A wide divergence of opinion
prevailed, however, regarding the
procedure the court will follow
after it disposes of the organiza
tion and other preliminary duties.
There were indications that, when
the actual trial began. Major Gen
eral Charles P. Summerall as pres
ident of the court would conduct
it with a view to determining by
direct processes whether Col.
Mitchell had made the charges set
out in the specifications and
whether that act'eonstituted con-
-Juct. to the prejudice of military
discipline.
Such a course would set aside
evidence which might tend to
prove whether Col. Mitchell's state
ment concerning the war and navy
department policies and adminis
tration of the national defense
with special reference to aviation
were true or false.
The truth or falsity of such
statements were not made part of
the accusations against the air
iorce.

Action Taken by Principal
Nelson Given Unanimous
Approval Last Night
DELAY REINSTATEMENT
Members of Secret Club Will Be
Barred Until Organization Is
Known To Have Been s
Dissolved
The school board at its meeting
last night voted unanimously to
ratify the action of J. C. Nelson,
principal of the Salem high school,
In suspending members of the
Tiars' ciud wntch was reorgan
ized thjs week at theiigh school
in violation, according to Mr. Nel
son and the board, of the board's
order that all secret societies be
prohibited at the high school. The
motion further instructed that the
suspension of the boys, be pro
longed until the principal and the
city superintendent are convinced
that the matter has been satisfac
tonly cleared up, or in other
words, until they are satisfied that
the club is completely disbanded.
Two offenses were committed
by the boys, according to Director
Frank Neer. First, violation of
the pledges signed by them to re
frain from entering such an or
ganization, and second, open de
fiance of the board's order. He
said "They are either trying to
kid themselves or to kid us, and it
looks as if they were trying to kid
us." He suggested that the sus
pension be prolonged enough .to
give the boys proper punishment
for the offenses.
The warm discussion as to whe
ther or not the present Friars'
club is legitimately organized un
der the new order of the board
that was anticipated for the meet
ing failed to mature, as the boys
who were present to speak on be
half of the action of their organi
sation were not granted a Tiearing
The hoard was unanimously of the.
opinion that . the organization is
and that Mr. Nelson Was
right in taking the action he did.
" he whole discussion, which was
indulged in only by the board
members, covered a period of only
.trout five minutes.
It was brought to light that the
members of the club have been
contending for right to exist on
the argument that the club is not!
dissimilar to the DeMolay organi-J
nation. It is understood that
some of the boys belonging to the
Friars are also DeMolay members,
rnd it was. intimated at the meet
ing of the board that these boys
vould be called onto the carpet at
the next meeting of the DeMolay
and asked to. give cause why they
brought that organization into the,
discussion.
The iioys present, led by Dick
Schei, declared that Dr. H. H.
Olinger, chairman of the board,
had given them permission to be
rresent at the meeting and that
they thought they would be al
lowed a hearing although it had
not been promised to them.
The resolution adopted by the
scliool' board prior to the opening
of school this fall abolishing sec
ret societies and making it illegal
for a student to belong to any
such society while he is In high
school was read by the board last
right. It was brought to light
that fr.'Nels6n was acting within
Lis authority - in suspending the
students, numbering 17, as he did.
and bringing ' the matter to the
ithool board for ratification. -. Y
At the first of the present sein
ester every organization in school
voluntarily disbanded, and it was
thought by the board and by Mr.
Nelson that Uhe. trouble was set
tled then and there. Mr. Nlson
however, predicted that such an
evasion as now. attempted by the
Friars club might; be looked, for,
although he at that time expressed
the opinion that such an evasion
would be contrary to the purport
cf the school board, and would be
frowned on by the public. At the
meeting it was revealed that net-,
ther the memoers of the "board,
the city superintendent , nor the
principal have received one word

Valley
" By AUDRED BUNCH
The new I175.X100 Elks temnle
was the city's social mecca last
night from 7 to 11 o'clock when
members of the order were hosts
for the pleasure of all townspeo
ple, who have awaited with great
Interest an opportunity to acquaint
themselves with the interior ot
one of. the architectural triumphs
of Willamette ralley.
Flowers, not too many, and
music by the Elks' orchestra pro
vided festive touches for the re
ception without detracting from
what the public came to see the
lodge hall itself.
Arriving over a mahogany en
trance, ..the guests were notably
surprised at the sound-absorbing
qualities of the floor, finished
with a. rubber tiling, set in diago
nal squares. One of the most
beautiful grand stairway entrances
imaginable features two choice
pieces of Italian Btatuary. femi
nine figures by Balchi, the one. on
the left with eyes open and ques
tioning as the dawn, symbolizing
the Goddess of Day; the one on
the right, with sleeping eyes, the
Goddess of Night.
; Leaving the vestibule, one ar
rives upon the billiard and card
rooms, on opposite ends of the
building from the bar, while on
the right the main lounging room
is fitted with a matchless mingl
ing of simplicity and grandeur.
The coloring in the walls, the
draperies, and the Imperial Bund-
ahr Wilton rug on the floor all
combina the warm neutral shades.
The massive fire place and fix
tures called forth a wealth of ap
proving comment. The dining
room, also on the lower floor,
combined utility .with a charming
scheme ot decoration.
To the lady visitors of last night
there was probably no room quits
so appealing as the beautifully ap
pointed ladies' waiting room ad
joining the dining room, --.The en
tire finish is tiffany gold. ; One
of the most attractive features of
all was the lighting scheme-for
the full-length mirror- one light
glowing at the base.
The lighting system throughout
the temple proved one of the most
interesting as well as practicable
installations of fixtures exer noted.
The whole effect is brought about
by high-lighting, by which means
no direct rays ever strike the eyes.
A second room that delighted
the feminine eye was found oh
the second floor. This waiting
room is a study in fiber work and
Italian fixtures.
' The main lodge room is a strik
ingly pleasing, auditorium, V with
stations and tables in carved ma
hogany . and a special balcony at
the' back. The. sun-burst .center
ceiling . fixture won many com
ments of admiration. The whole
feeling was one of splendidly
achieved massiveness and .ease.
The decks of opera chairs are of
carved mahogany, as are the sta

revelation to the most discrimin
ating. Nothing has been left un
done toward the making of this'
spacious part of the hall the equiv
