That was the statement Vrirtor morning of Fire Chief of the fire deDart 1 815,000, he believes, an adeanata tem might be installed over th itir business district, and following this step a nau-aoxen boxes might be in stalled each year. Urgent need for a new plan oi re porting nres was shown Thursday when considerable delay was shown by "ra m gemng to tne 842,000 blaze which destroyed the Frank F. Richter store on Court street, due to alleged delay in getting a call through the tele phone office. The new system advocated by Chief Hutton would place fire alarm boxes at convenient points throughout the city. Once an alarm is turned in from these points Its locality is Immediately registered at the fire station and there is said to be no chance for a mistake. "Today Salem stands alone as being the largest city on the Pacific coast that is still unprovided with a proper lire alarm system" reads a letter which Chief Hutton recently received from the former superintendent , of fire alarm telegraph at Portland. "This in cludes Oregen, California, Washington, Idaho, Nevada and Arizona. ' Chief Hutton's one doubt as to the advisability ofjnstaltng the new sys tem results from his belief that Salem should immediately have a new "pump er" fire truck. This would cost the city in the neighborhood of $10,000. When placed in the residential dis trict one fire box would cover a terri tory of about three squares, Chief Hut tomsaid. r Colby Likely Chairman of Big Convention Washington, June 18. Bralnbridge Colby, secretary of state, is regarded by most democratic leaders in Wash ington as the most likely choice for permanent chairman of the democratic national convention at San Franciaco. Mr. Colby was elected a delegate to the 'convention' from the' District of Columbia last week, heading an ad-mlntsti-atfon ticket in opposition to fhat put in the field by the Bryan democratic club. Senator Joseph T. Robinson of Ark ansas, and Chairman Cummings, of the democratic national committee, who is to be temporary chairman of the convention, also have been men tioned in connection with the perma nent chairmanship. Mr. Cummings' friends say, however, that he does not desire the place. Senator Carter Glass of Virginia, who drew the platform adopted by the Virginia democratic convention and since indorsed by President Wilson, ' as -been definitely decided upon as the chairman of the committee on res. olutions.

Perkins, financier, died this morning in the Stamford hall sanitarium, Stamford, Conn. It became known June 11 that Mi'. Perkins had suffered a nervous break down, but members of his family did not Intimate at that time that his life was in danger.

Perkins, Jr., announced the change was made to afford his father a complete rest and seclusion from his friends who sought his coun sels during the political campaign pre ceding the Chicago convention.

A statement by the dead financiers physicians given out at Mr. Perkins' office gave the time of bis death as 8:15 this morning. Death resulted from, an attack of "aeirter inflamma tion of the brain, the result of com plete nervous exhaustion due to in tense and continuous over work," the announcement said. Death ' Unexpected ' The death of Mr. Perkins was pra2 tlcally unexpected,- It was said at his offices, on account of his having re centl ysurvived a very serious heart attack, after which his family and friends believed his constitution suf ficiently robust to throw off the malady. . It was said the funeral, would take place Sunday afternoon at the River dale Presbyterian church - In . the Bronx. The services will be private. Distress over the loss of an old friend was expressed by J. Pierpont Moraran when e was informed of Mr. Perkins death. He said: "I am deeply distressed at the news of Mr. Perkins death. He was a friend for more than twenty years and a. very active partner for ten years." With Mr. Perkins at the time of his death were his son, George W. Jr., his daughter, Mrs. Edward Freeman, and his sister, Emily Perkins.

" : Roosevelt Bird Refuge Petitions Are Circulated - Voters of Salem and Marlon cpunty will be given an opportunity to endorse the amended petitions for the Roose velt Bird Refuge. The petitions have ben rsecived in Salem and are being circulated for the Roosevelt Bird Ref uge association of which the officers of which are John Gill, president; W. 8. Raker, vice-president; William I Finley, secretary -treasurer. The petitions have been amended to eliminate features previously objected to and propose that the native water fowl of this state be saved from ex tinction by putting the famous Mal heur Lake nesting places under fod eral protection. This is the Malheur Lake reservation where enormous bird colonies have been protected for years by stale and federal laws. The reserve was created by President Roosevelt In 1908. Protection lTrged. Bird lovers who are supporting the measure assert that this measure "will not add one cent of expense to the tax payers of Oregon." In further argu ment It Is pointed out that the soli adjacent to the lake is uesless for agri culture purposes. Governor Withy combe "urged the passage of the meas ure on the grounds that these reserva tions are considered the best In the United States for afferdlng shelter i migratory wnteiwl.

Hoover Disappointed In Some Republican Policies But Pledges Washington, June 18. Indorsing in the main the action of the republican national convention at Chicago, Herbert Hoover in a letter to friends made public today after he had conferred with Senator Harding, the republican presidential nominee, called upon all elements of the party to support the national ticket at the polls. Mr. Hoover declared that "the great er part of the Chicago platform Is con structive and progressive," and that "nothing prevents, the comromlse planks on labor, the league, etc., from being given a forward-looking Inter pretation." He added, however, that "some things, including a reorganisa tion of our election expenditures and the primaries are not adequately dealt with." Spilt Held Dangerous. "Nothing could be more disastrous," he continued, "than the development of several party organisations repre senting the complexion of every group in the country. "It we should come to this position, we shall be entirely ruled by log-rolling minorities' or storlle political coa litions." The former food administrator de clared that It was the duty of those republicans who hold "more definite views" to endeavor to bring them to realisation within the party organisa tion itself. "If the republican party Is not to be Irrevocably split," declared Mr. Hoo ver, "I Cannot conceive that Senator Harding will for one moment eubmtt the administrative side of the govern ment to the domination of any group or ooterio," Confers With Harding. Mr. Hoover in this connection said the senator had stated to him that The views of both the conservative and progressive wings of the party would be fully represented in the ad ministration" and "that he represented no particular group." "I breakfasted with Senator Hard ing this morning at the senator's in vitation," said Mr. Hoover's statement, "I presented the views which I believe were hold by a considerable group of independent and progressive republi cans on various questions. The sena tor stated that It was his most sincere desire to be the instrumentality for bringing the divergent elements of th party together; that the views of bom the conservative and progressive wings of the party would be fully represented in the administration; that he repre- sentel no particular group, but that he considered it was his first duty as lead er of the party to consolidate all ele ments Into a united front. He will, of course, issue no statement until after the democratic convention and then aftr consultation with all sides. "My own position on various issues is well known, and as to the party sit uations I cannot make It more clear than the following letter which I sent to my friends in dlffuernt parts or (he country, two days ago and before I had any communication with Senator Harding: i , I .beg to acknowledge the receipt of your letter. I have received many hundred other communications from friends advising various courses with respect to the situation that eventuated In Chicago, for undoubtedly many of the Independent and progressive re publicans like myself are greatly dis appointed over some tendencies that were apparent at Chicago. The Chi cago Intform Is not radical; the great er part of It Is constructive ana gresslve; nothing prevents the compro uiise planks on labor, the league, etc., from being given a forward-looking in tempretation; some things Including the camalgn expenses and direct pri mnry are not adequately dealt with. ' "In these times when the great problems and issues created by the war are new and are so complex, we must expect a wide divergence of view among the members of the party as to the methods by which they are to be met. It follow, therefore, If there was to have been unity In the convention, there had to be a large measure of compromise. The compromises on the platform and the candidate are prool that we have not arrived at an era of new political and social tendencies and they will call at our headquarters at for this same reason the same diver- j Broadway and Couch streets. Port gent groups and the same attitude of land. . June Regains Prestige With Marion County Couples.
