'Dope' Asked
Of Secretary
Among the multifarious duties
of a commercial club secretary
which range from supplying in
formation to anxious tourists to
engineering $6000 membership
campaigns, T. E. McCroskey, sec
retary of the Salem Commercial
club, finds himself called upon to
furnish "dope" on a couple of fam
ily trees.
Two letters received this morn
ing asked that information be fur
nished the writers regarding two
former residents of Salem. The
first one, from Amery, Wisconsin
signed by "Joe Carpentier," reads:
"I am interested in finding out
some facts about Mr. Godfrey Cye
De Vincent or Vassan. Has he
ever owned any property in Ore
gon? You may look from 1900
to 1850. We are the heirs of this
property and would liSe to get
some information on the subject.
. "P. S. He's been dead about 40
years." -
The second letter, signed by
Kenneth J. Moore, San Diego, Cal
lfornia, and not requiring so dili
gent a search, reads:
"Will you kindly furnish me
with information pertaining to the
late Chief Justice Judge Frank A
Moore of the supreme court of Ore
gon. Also a list of his descend
ants."
There is a possible chance of the
Commercial club starting a matri
monial bureau, if enough requests
are filed before McCroskey resigns
it was intimated this morning.

Chappell
Is Called
Embezzler
Ex-Bond Salesman of
Salem Now Out on
$1000 Bail; to Be
Tried September 12.
C. M. Chappell, formerly debon-
naire bond salesman of the Silver
King Mining company, whose
disappearance from Salem about
October 15, 1920, precipitated a
hasty conference among officials
of the company and stockholders
who claimed they had not receiv
ed credit for investments made, is
at present, under arrest and out
on $1000 bail, it was learned here
this afternoon.
Chappell is charged with larce
ny by embezzlement. The com
plaint, issued from the local jus
tice court, is signed by J. J. Lang
back, president of the Silver King
company who, at the time the
first facts were printed by The
Capital Journal, emphatically de
nied that Chappell's drop from
sight was necessarily irregular.
Bond Signed by Woman
Chappell's hearing Is set for
September 12, at 2 o'clock, in the
justice court. His bond for bail
was signed by Mrs. B. M. Chap
pell, of St. Helens, where Chap
pell Is said to be residing at the
nresent time.
Friends 0f the affable, impecca
bly clad Chappell were loud In

made known the facts concern
ing his disappearance last Decem
ber and declared that truths
