Suddenly Kutherford heard the snap of the spark which accompanies the breaking of a circuit, and looking up, he saw Lewis reel and tall in time to catch him. Investigation later dis closed burns on the arm and band which indicated that he met death by closing the circuit with his arm. Rutherford began the work of resuscitation at once over the body of the unconscious man. In few moments he hailed a man at some distance who called Dr. J. L, .Mhorey of Woodburn. Word was also sent to Dr. C. H. Robert eon of this city who rushed to Woodburn with a pulmotor.

' Robbins Is Speaker at Open Forum Community Is In Need of Definite Working Program Says Dean of Oregon School That a definitely organized working program is fundamental ... ...i . ,. tne BUCCKBSIUI jMifeicon vi community was emphasized last night by Dean E. C. Robbins of the University of Oregon school of business administration, who spoke last night before the open forum at the Commercial club rooms. After that, all there is to do is "roll up your sleeves and get to work and you have tbe bear by the tall." Before the war the general growth of the community was tak en as an index of its relative suc cess as a unit," be said. Due to the war, however, America has come face to face with a number of circumstances of vital import ance which were thrust on the realization of tbe people with somewhat of a shock, and which, according to the dean, are to a great extent a fault of the com -munlty. When 30 per cent of tho draft were physically unfit, and 33 per cent of those physically fit were on the border line of illiter acy, It was an indication that the community was not all that It should be. It also was learned that the country, which was for merly looked on as a source which furnished new raw materials to supply the Industries with strong, capable man-power, was behind the city In physical and mental handicaps. Community Duty. On Bomewliat of a different line, Dean Robbins named the lack of whole-souled Americanism and the presence of radicalism and In dustrial unrest as a community fault, :ind held that all these were things that a community should work to overcome. "We talk up the Washington end of things too much?!' he con tinued. "If every community bud taken care of its own soldiers, if the employment problem of the re turned soldier had been met and solved as a community problem, there would not be the gigantic national problem thut faces us to day, Involving such measures a.s tbo soldiers bonus bill." The dean expressed his firm belief that the community should take It on Itself to meet the soldier question, and that the federal government Is now dabbling In something which It Is obliged to, because the com munities have been "passing the buck." Dr. Henry E. Morris, who In chairman of a committee to make arrangements for a community sing, reported that a plan was un der way for a sing in the park with the municipal band som" time In the near future. Krlday. July 29, bad been set for a tenia tlve date, but the sing was post poned from that time due to the rhnutauqua program then in pro gress. New Members Secured.

An proved by the federal JOURNAL WANT ADS PAT Land Acquired at Tax Sale by Cities Held Not Taxable Land acquired by any com tf or municipality In Oregon at tax sale Is acquired and held for a cor porate purpose and it therefore not subject to taxation, but upon sale of such property for a purpose which affords an Income to the municipality holding it, tbe ex emptlon ceases, according to an opinion banded down by Attorney General I. H. Van Winkle at the request of the state tax commis sion. The attorney generU further said In his opinion: That property owned by a pub lic body, but not devoted to punll: use, is not exempt troin taxation. That property held by a munici pality in connection with property used for a publi? purpose, but in excess of the amount required for a proper conduct, of s.ich purpose, and not actually so used, Is not with tax exemption provisions ex empting property used for public purposes. That where the principal use to which the property is put is public, the mere fact that an In come is incidental;- derived from U does not affect Its character as property devoted to public use. That where an income or profit is derived from municipally ownert property, not as an Incident to Its use as a public ngen.'y, Li t from Its use primarily and principal!;' for tbe purpose of producing reve nue, it cannot be said to be devot ed to public use and is s ibject to taxation. That when property acquired by a municipality for public use in leased or sold on contract, the ex emption ceases. Local Scout Board To Meet Tonight A meeting or ttie executive board of the local council of Boy Scouts will be held tonight at 7:30 o'clock in the McCornack building headquarters to discuss a possible postponement of the opening of the summer camp from July 31 to August 8, according to the an nouncement issued today by Har old Cook, local executive. With the prospect of an attend ance of about 100, only one-third of those originally expected to at tend the two 16-day camps, it has been proposed to hold but one camp beginning a week later. Of flcial action will be taken on the matter tonight. The board will probably act on the appointment of W. W. Craig as deputy scout commissioner for the county. Although the meeting Is offi cially called for the executive board only, Mr. Cook asks that members of the scout council feel free to attend. Girl Forgets Her Own Name Denver, Colo., July 21.

JOURNAL WANT ADS PAY The Capital Journal, Parties In Conflict on Navy Issue . m I x Admiral Dims ttepon flf MiSCOndUCt Of OI JJJjaiAmiv, War Campaign IS SC0r8d by DemOCratS owicu Washington, July 21. A dia - metric conflict of views between republicans and democrats as to the justification for Rear Admiral William Sims' charges of misdi rection and delay on tbe part of the American naval administra tion during the early month of the war was shown in majority and minority reports published here of the senate naval commit tees' investigations of the contro versy between Admiral Sims and former Secretary Daniels. Assail ed by tbe majority for having pur sued what is declared was a "self defensive, non-aggressive aid non helpful policy" during thf early stages of the war, the naral ad ministration under Secretary Dan iels was upheld in the minority re port as amply vindicated by the "uniform success of our opera tions" and as deserving the committee and of the American people." Daniels Criticized. Charging many sins of omission and commission both in the matter of preparedness and in naval pros ecution of the war, the majority report severely scored Mr. Daniels, former President Wilson and Rear Admiral Benson, former chief of operations, as the responsible ad ministrative officers. These offi cials were warmly defended In the minority report. Admiral Sims, the commander In chief of naval operations during the war, was commended by tbe majority and assailed by the mi nority. Opposed to the majority charges that many serious delays in nfcvul operations resulted from the "non aggressive policy" pursued prior to 1918 was the declaration of the minority that "at no time did the navy fail to perform promptly and Williams Sims' charges of dlsdi- iro posed upon it.
