'- ' - IN ROLL CALL DRIVE With none of the rural districts re turns yet in, subscriptions to thethird Red- Cross roll call up to Wednesday noon amounted to $55. The general plan among the workers seems to bo to postpone turning in their reports until their entire territories have been covered,, and for this reason the exact returns cannot be ascertained until the -close of the drive. . With Mrs: Walter Spauldlng as cap tain of the district including the sta house and supreme court building, as sisted by Mrs. Robert McMurray and Bliss Ruth Johns, it was expected that that particular section would be fin ished by Wednesday .evening. J. S. Murray has taken over the work for the drive in the penitentiary and re ports that the response in the Institu tion is beyond reproach. Mrs. Elmer I)aue, assisted by Mrs. Claire Vibbert is covering the South Salem district No. 18. Representatives of the Metro politan Life insurance company are doing especially good work, according to campaign leaders, and certain busi ness houses are making efforts to keep the subject before the minds of the public by decorating their windows with Red Cross emblems. - Housewives are asked to be on the alert for the canvassers and thus do away with the necessity of a second trip. Attention Is also called to the fact that there is just as much need of the services of the Red Cross this year as there was during the war. More l.'ves were lost, according to statistics, Inst year because of the influenza epi demic than because of the war, and if there should be a recurrence of the plague, or a visitation of any natural disaster, to say nothing of an indus trial war and the hardships accom panying it, the Red Cross would be the first organization called upon for relief. All homes not displaying sen-ice flags, and all persons not wearing Ited Cross buttons will be solicited during the last two days of the drive, in a final effort to enroll every person in the county. LABOR UNIONS HERE TO DISCUSS PLANS TO FIGHT Plans of battle against the I. W.

"It is a cause for congratulation by the entire country,'.', declared Senator Poindexter, Washington, republican, commenting on the victory of Cool idge in Massachusetts. .It is a clear cut Victory for the forces of law and order," he added. HOPE FOR EARLY VOTE ON Tit EATY BRIGHTER Washington, Nov. B. Hope of a'fl nal treaty vote in the senate by No-, vember 15, appeared brighter today. Although all efforts of leaders on both sides to forecast action have been unsuccessful thus far, many said they were confident that the treaty fight will collapse within a few days. Democratic leaders made it clear, however, they will not permit the trea ty to be railroaded through and will prefer delay to accepting objectionable reservations. There seemed to be a feeling that the biggest men on the opposing sides are working toward some kind of an under standing in the belief that the nation deman Is quink disposition of the trea ty. - .

Washington, Nov. E. Genera Leon ard Wood and Senator Hiram Johnson of California are marching in the fore- m oSN'ranlc of republican presidential possibilities. But Governor Frank Lowden, of Illi nois, is rapidly forging to the front. He evidently has the support of those who believe the next presidential cam paign will be fought out on new issues and that the republican, candidate should be a, man who has not been concerned with the national and inter national broils which have centered In Washington during the war period. Toft's Name Heard. ' The strength Of William Howard Taft is making itself felt in the capi tal. His name comes up whenever the presidency is discussed. It is conceded even by his opponents that he is far more popular and better known by the people now than when he was presi dent and his miderate attitude toward the peace treaty appears to have gain ed him many friends. Wood's boom is Betting1 under way already acid Is gathering considerable momentum, reports here indicate. His supporters see in him a second oosevelt and many of the Roosevelt republicans are known to be lining up on his Mae. As for-the soldier vote, Wood's friends believe he would poll more of It than General Pershing, for instance. .TohiiHon Best Known. To get back , to Senator Johnson, if the peace treaty were to be an issue in the pnmpaign, he would have the sup port of all who are flatly opposed to it. But with the treaty out of the way. Johpson may be without a clear cut issue. Johnson Is known as a hard campaigner and a forceful speaker, a man who has personal magnetism and the ability to arouse crowds to great enthusiasm. He is better known than General Wood and seems likely to be high man when the first votes are taken iii the convention. Senator Harding of Ohio, his friends say, will be a candidate. His recent announcement that he would not run is not taken seriously here. His sup porters look for such a strong demand for him that he will enter the contest, liorali Not Strong. Senator Borah has been mentioned, as has Senator Lodge and other oppo nents of the treaty, but close political observers believe their strength is based largely on the present treaty sit uation and that new issues will elim inate them. Senator Poindexter is one of the most conspicuous presidential aspir ants in the senate. His friends started booming him intermittently more than a year ago. Senator Knox and Elihu Root are generally liked by conservatives. Senator Cummins probably will fig ure in the early stages of the conven tion, i Among republicans there is much talk of a "dark horse" to be brought forward at the last minute to capture the conventign. Hoover "Dark Horse." There are many other possible can didates, some of whom are not open ly affiliated with either great party. Tivo of these are General Pershing and Herbert Hoover. Should either of them run, he probably would do so'on his personal record rather than on any political party record. Pershing has avoided being identified with a party and tiiere are few who know toward which group Hoover inclines. Pershing is being kept out of the limelight so consistently that there is a belief his backers intend to produce him as an eleventh hour candidate and send him on a tdur of the country that they are holding back his tour un til it can be made when the campaigns ore setting under way. There is considerable, sentiment throuchout In favor of Hoover, and in dependent clubs, urging him ns a can-' didate are expected to spring into be- i'T within a few weeks. First Meeting of League Will Be Paris Event . Pais, Nor. S. The supreme 3j. foum-il today decided the first meeting of the leugue of na- tlons will be lield In I'ui Ih im- mediately after the iieai-e treaty becomes effective. Hp "''.''

Sport Editor Braves Wilds of Hat Show: Styles Spo rty Bjr Henry Fttvell ' (Batting for Mairgaret Rohe) ' Somewhere': In LV Exposition Des Chapeaux, New York, Nov. 6; Aa hear as I can oops It out, women's head harness this winter is. going to run the gamut from a plain knockout to a riot ' . , . - When It comes to Shapes and styles women's hats appear to be erratic as a preliminary boy In his first fight; and as- for colors, they certainly are as wild as a bush league southpaw. 1 - Price Like High Ron -The price tags resemble nothing se much as Willie Hoppe's high run in a, billiard toujnaraent ' There was 'one lid that sure was reminiscent of the borne plate. It m five cornered, dust colored and had a little stick-up' jigger on the back that looked Just like-Umpire Bob Rlgier"s whisk broom. Of course they didn't call it that, but there was also one that was a real grandstand model. - It had a concrete Colored rim with an over hanging roof and -a bunch of bird nest effebtfl under the caves. Niblick In Evidence "Isn't this ione just too cute?" gurgled a Mary Pickford model as she slapped a' peaked cap, like the athletes used to wear, on her head, then pulled it over one eye just as though she were going out to play the sun field. For the golf incurables there was one model with a mast affair in the center like a niblick sticking up over a bunker withu lot of sod hanging to it. There were some others with a few blades of gross sticking up around the edge that made a fellow think of the 18th hole. Colors Ran Riot The favorite color seems to be a bi own just like the derby Garry Herr- nian sprang on the world series. But there are other hues, from a sort of auto tire gray to an auctioneer's fed flag with all intermediate shades. Veils are in as great a variety as hats. Some have wide screen like a catcher's mask, some have a finer mesh .Ike a fencer's face protector, while others look' like a slice of a tennis net. , After . giving tht whole show the once over, I agreed1: that women's hats this winter' will be sporty but it seemed a shame that the Bportiest function they will probably grace will be a tea fight or a tango rassle. DANCE HALLS COKE AT F T;;cmring that dance halts here oft en prove the stepping stone to div rce court, and that they have done much toward the corruption of young people, District Judge George H. Bingham, in department No. 2 circuit court, yester day took dance hall proprietors to task and in none too gentle terms rebuked them for their methods of conducting the halls. Judge Bingham made these expressions during a divorce trial in his court that had been the direct re sult of a dance hall "affair." He scored the entire dance hall question, asserting that the repeated violation of after hour laws could be directly traced to them. As the dance halls referred to are outside of the city it becomes necessary for those at tendant to drive out, and the Judge bared the fact that authorities have re ceived many complaint of "roadside parties" held along the di-ive to the dance halls. The report is that women of a ques tionable character had been haunting the dance halls, and that men, whose motives could not be doubted, also fre quented the places. In this manner, the Judge declared, the morals of bet ter girls are placed in danger by asso ciation with such people. , Judge Bingham also blamed parents for the present status of affairs. He sad that when he was a young man the older folks went to the dances, too, and the jubilee was a community af fair. He edeplored the fact that par ents nodaways seldom attend dances, and the young people, therefore, are permitted to go without proper chati- crones. VERDICT OF SECOND DEGREE MURDER MADE Eugene, Or., Nov. 5. A verdict of murder in the second degree was re turned by the jury trying Martin A Clark for the death'of Charles Taylor, road supervisor who resided near Mc-Kenzie- bridge. The erdict was re turned shortly after 10 o'clock last night. The evidence was entirely cir cumstantial. Taylor's body was found on Scott mountain lat July after a search of more than a week. Clark and Taylor went hunting together, and in a few days Clark returned wtihout his com panion. Shells found near the scene of the tragedy were shown to have been fired from Clark's gun because of the pe culiar markings due to a defect In the breech block of Clark's gun. FORTY-SECOND YEAR EMPOUCE STATES CHIEF Officers Recently Added To Force Will Be Retained Un til Cocacfl Orders Removal Yarney Declares. Chief of -Police Varney this after noon Issued a statement regarding the status of the two new policemen on the force, in which he said that the men will be retained in the depart ment until the affair is cleared up, or some action taken by the council re moving them. He also says in ' the statement, which - follows, that it is well known that a larger police force is indispen sable to proper police- protection of citizens. .' ',: The statement reads: "Notwithstanding they attitude 'of certain members of the council and the opinion of the city attorney, Of ficers Gantard and Moffitt, are in my judgment, police officers of the city of Salem and they will remain such until the further act of the council in the matter. "I might say, however, that it is not for me to decide upon the regu larity of their appointment or the va lidity of their tenure. It is well known that a larger police force is Indispen sable to proper police protection of our citizens. These two officers were added to the police department by the common council of the city of Salem, at the urgent request of the business men of the city. Public demand, and the alarming increase of crime waB the occasion of their, appointment and so far as I am concerned this appoint ment will stand until their status is positively ascertained."

Government Determined to Fight Through, Courts Is Announcement Today ; -Washington, Nov. 5.The federal government today flatly rebuffed the suggestions )f lalwr leaders that the coal strike might be ended if the Indianapolis injunction against it were vacated.' Denouncing the strike as a "Viola tion of law," Assistant Attorney Gen eral Amea announced the govern- mit1, riAtArmlnflilnn to - Droceed against It in the courts "as long as continues. - - His statement came in direct rt sponse to one from Samuel Gompeta. president of the American Federation of Labor, who declared that If the In junction were vacated -he had an "nhirtmr faHh" that a negotiated peace could be arranged between the strikers and operators. ' Ames' utterance was considered an imtii-aitt vAntv in the hints which came from other labor leaders Intimations hit abandonment of the govern ment's injunction suit would lead the arbitration. It had a shattering effect on the "peace talk" whith -haa oeen going abound "Washington ror more than a day. ' - ' The coal strike is a violation or- law," asserted Ames. "As long aa it continues we are going to proceed j against it In the oourts. "This dispute between the mine owners and the workers is an entire ly different question which they can settle in their own way.

Tnni Wallace, vice-president of the 'salem Water company, gave valuable factB and figures on me wuwi .,,, hA to members of the Rotary club at their weekly luncheon at the Hotel Marlon this noon, ne sum umi. all tests taken of water, under a new method installed six years ago, had proven that the city gets me puuai ' water. Mr. Wallace, in reply to prevalent. ... f vhn.t the water company would do to keep pace with the growth of the ctiy, said that "tnis wm oe ianon care of," and that the company would at nil times furnish an adequate water supply for the city. He decried movements to bring wa ter to the ctiy from mountain sources. It is 45 miles to the nearest point where the city could get pure, un taminated water, he said, and that bring water this distance would be un justified until the city has grown in population still several tlionstxiirtM more. " ' Contrary to attacks on the city water mains, that they are made of poor ma terial and are insubstantial, Mr. Wal lace said that he main here are made of best cast iron, and that the per mancy of this" type of pipe could not be questioned. He said that there are 73 miles of water mains in Salem. A billion and a half gallons of water were pumped by the water company's plant last year, he asserted. Speaking on the labor situation, Frank G. Deckebuch, of the Marlon creamery, declared that so long as production Is hampered by strikes and labor trouble, and so long as European markets are denied American products, will hard timoo i, fpit in this country. He said that by paying more wages to workers costs of production increase, witn tne thn hlffh cost of living is still more elevated, "bringing, you seo, really no oenexit to tne ta morer who demands greater pay."
