Associated Press Elects
Directors; Purpose and
Ideals Outlined bg Noges
New York, . Apr. 20. Member. i"
the Associated Press met at the Wal
dorf Astoria hotel here today to elect
five directors, four advisory boards,
and auditing and nominating commit
tees.
At a luncheon in connection with
the meeting President Frank B. Noyea
of the Washington Btar, proposed a
toast to President Wilson, saying:
"In offering a toast, the formal wish
for 'health' is usually of little signifi
cance. With us this year in our only
toast it Is our custom to offer, the
case is profoundly different for, ver ,
earnestly, very honefull'v and T-e
sincerely we drink to the, health, tnt.
run restored health of the president of
the United States."
"Every season of the year is an open
season for the critics of the Associated
Press," said Mr. Noyea, beginning his
address.
"We are accustomed, through long
experience to the raiting against our
service of the uninformed ,the noto
riety seeker and the common garden
liar who charges bias or suppression
in the report of the Associated Press.
Charges Are Untrue.
"Every " newspaper man, every in
formed person, knows how preposter

ever may make them. To you, I need
not explain that our very organization
was in response to the demand of the
newspapers that their news serviloe
should be owned and ." controlled by
tnemseives and themselves alone, that
it should be their servant and not
their "master, -that it should give an
adequate and truthful record of the
world's happenings, free from bias and
from opinion or uronaeanda. While
laying no claim to inerrantcy, our
service has been singularly successful
in attaining the objects we soueht and
the line 'By Associate Press' has be
come a hall mark t)f accuracy, wheth
er the event recorded is the election of

"While at all times this open season

New York Slowly
Throws Off Grip
Of Rail Strike
New York,- April 20. New York
was slowly untangling itself today
from the snarl of congested railway
traffic resulting from the unauthor
ized rail strike.
Notwithstanding optimistic claims
of the railroad managers, both pas
senger and freight service on several
lines was reported to be . crlppted.
Volunteers were used by roads to run
passenger 'trains.
Partial resumption of traffic in the
tubes under the Hudson river today
brought relief to thousands of com
muters who had been forced to rely
upon ferry transportation for more
than a week. '
Consolidation Of
School Districts
Favored In Curry
Sentiment for the consolidation of
rural school districts where state roads
have been projected so as to make
such a move practicable, is gaining
ground rapidly In Curry county as a
solutioh of the teacher snortage prob
lem, according to J. A. Churchill,
state superintendent of schools who
spent last week in Coos and Curry
counties in the interest of the elemen
tary school mlllage tax measure.
There is strong good roads sentiment
as well as strong sentiment in favor
of the educational mlllage measures,
throughout both Coos and Curry
counties, Churchill states.

Council Sets
SpecialMeet
,FbriTonight
The voters of Salem will be asked
at a special city election on May 21
whether the inclusion of the state fair
grounds should be made to Salem, if
favorable action is taken by the city
council In special meeting tonight and
the matter- is placed upon the ballot
The ordinance providing for, the- In
clusion of the state fair grounds, and
providing for the special election, was
delayed at the. regular meeting of the
council last night when a vote on the
suspension of the rules and final pas
sage of the bill was defeated by Coun
cilman McClelland.
With the appointment by the may
or of a municipal' boxing commission
and with the advent of the Elks con
vention here July 23, 24 and 25, sev
eral members of the council saw in the
inclusion of the state fair grounds one
of the most important factors in fur
nishing entertainment for the antler
ed herd, as' the state fair stadium
would be used for staging boxing
bouts. By taking in the state fair
gruonds Salem will not benefit to any
great extent by taxation. The matter is
purely civic. Coupled with the at
tempt to include the fiar grounds in
the incorporate limits of the city, the
Elks were granted the exclusive right
of all Salem streets during their con
vention. This was done to keep out
tramp shows that were held obnox
ious to a dignified convention.
Chief's Salary Bobs Up.
The special meeting of the council
will also consider tonight the adop
tion of the ordinance placing on the
ballot an amendment to the charter
of the regulation coverlne the pay
ment of the chief of police. The
amendment was proposed last night
without stipulating a maximum figure
This evoked strenuous objection from
Councilman McClelland who argued
that there was nothing to prevent the
council, from paying the chief of po
lice "as much as 13000 or $4000."
He Insisted that a clause be insert
ed in the proposed amendment fixing
the maximum at $1800 a year.- -
This was opposed by several coun
cilmen who declared that the council
"had sense enough" to name a chief's
salary, as "It- is the city treasurer's
salary, and argued that circumstances
may arise some time that would make
it necessary to raise the salary even
above $1800.
Deceit Is Charged. 1
"If you do that, and pass this or
dinance without putting a check valve
in there you will be deceiving the
people of Salem," Modelland charged
emphatically.
"I disagree with Mr. McClelland
about deceiving the people," Council
man Schunke said. "I do too" Coun
cilman Utter chimed In.
"Gentlemen, go ahead," challeng
ed McClelland. '
The vote was then taken ' on the
amendment fixing the sum, and it
was lost.
' "I move you that we suspend the
rules and place the bill on final pas
sage," said Councilman Schunke.
"I'll save you the trouble, gentle
man," McClelland declared, '.for I
shall Vote against It." .,.,:
"We want your vote anyhow,'' Utter
said.
The vote was taken, and pursuant
to his promise McClelland voted it
doWn. This was one of the causes for
calling the special meeting.
Paving Plan Amended.
Amendment to the proposed char
ter amendment providing a new mode
in making street assessments was
made by the council, striking out that
clause compelling the city to pay for
the pavement of street Intersections.
This step was taken by the council
after a lengthy argument by E. S.
Tillinghast, president of t.'ie North
Salem Improvement League, who re
minded the council that the Commer
cial club, the North Salem Improve
ment League, the East Salem Im
provement Association, and the Rich
mond Improvement club had endors
ed the amendment as It stood. The
council expressed themselves in favor
of the general idea of the amendment,
barring the intersection clause, which
they held unfair in that it would
make the entire city pay for street
work done in one section of the city.
Joe uaumgartner, of the Salem
Hardware company, was elected to
serve as councilman from Ward 8,
when the resignation of O. L. Fisher
recently named to the post was read.
and accepted.
Traffic Laws Extended!
The council passed an emergency
ordinance prohibiting the driving of
motor cars with glaring head and
spotlights, and with , faulty horns.
The open cutout was also a target
In the new rodinance, that was draft
ed as an amendment to the present
trarnc laws of the city.
Several city employes came In for
a raise in salary last night. City En
gineer Hughes was raised Jlrom $125
to $150; J. N. Knowland, caretaker of
the city comfort stations, was raised
from $30 to $45: Mary I. Savage.
stenographer to tho city recorder, was
granted a salary increase from $70 to

D and Maket; pavement of Trade

authorized by the council.
Four bids on 50 cords of wood for
the city hall were read at the meet
ing last night, reflecting the high
cost of fuel. The bids covered figures
from $ to $12 a cord; and were re
ceived from The Salem Fuel Yards,

Sims Strained
Point to Make
Case Is Claim
Washington," Apr. 29. "Rear Ad
miral Sims strained a point to make a
case against the navy," when . he
charged that its failure to co-operate
fully with the allies during the first
few months of American participation
In the war postponed victory four
months, Captain Pratt, war time as
sistant chief of operations declared to
day before the senate committee In
vestigating the Sims-Daniels row.
Pratt said only one charge made by
Sims could properly be considered
grave. That, he said, was the asser
tion that failure of the navy to throw
it full weight into the struggle from
the start cost $15,000,000,000 and 500,
000 Uvea
"What does Admiral Sims means?"
the wtiness asked. "Can we, a nation
at peace, no matter what our inclina
tions may be perform overt acts of
preparation which are only justified,
acts of warf I deny the charge."
Pratt told the committee that dur
ing the early part of the war only
nine or ten anti-submarine craft were
kept at home to protect the Atlantic
coast, while during the same period
the Brtish admiralty kept 111 destroy
ers with the grand fleet and entirely
out of anti-sumbarine openttlona.
