THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON WILL HL PHY AT AGE OF 63 A varied career of political, business and professional ven tures, a portion of which wore successful came to an ond todny with the death of William Ells worth Purdy, for the last decade a familiar personage in Salem. Mr. Purdy was 03 years old. Mr. Purdy 'a last political ven ture was as a candidate for the Democratic nomination for con gress for the first district in 1924 when ho was beaten by H. L. Clark, also of Salem. Ono of his successful political campaigns was ns a candidate for delegate to the democratic national con vention at San Francisco in 1920, he being one of those elected out of a largo field of candidates. Frequent defeats did not dis courage Mr. purdy in politics, nor in litigation, and often ho was an aspirant for high stato or con gressional offices, Including tho office of govorhor for which he was a candidate in at least one democratic primary, white ho al ways had cases pending in the courts. For several years of his life Mr. Purdy was an evangelist. Ho al so had been admitted to the prac tice of law. He engaged in num erous business occupations, in cluding roal estate, and, until a few years ago, the operation of n bath house in the Oregon building in Salem; As a delegate to tho nations,! democratic convention in San Francisco Mr. Purdy was the only mc inner troni Oregon to vote for the Bryan prohibition amendment He had the endorsement of a ! large number of Oregon demo- i crats and republicans for a posi tion on the United States ship ping board after the resignation of George E. Chamberlain, At tho last two sessions of the Oregon legislature Purdy had in troduced, through Senator La Fol lett, a bill that would have re quired the posting of tho Lord's prayer in public places and in in dustrial plants. He got the en dorsement of Protestant and Cath olic clergymen to the measure, but It failed to pass, Mr. Purfly was born at West moreland, N". Y February. 27, 1862. He came to Oregon 24 years ago and had lived In this state continuously since that time. For the past 15 years he had owned and cultivated land in Oregon most of tho time and engaged in the building occupation quite ex tensively. Also ho was for a time in the- general merchandise business. Mr. Purdy started the move ment that resulted in the build ing of a bridge across the Willam ette river at Newberg, where he formerly lived. For a time bo was president of tho Oregon ReaJty Exchange Investment company, Inc. He was a great admirer of William Jennings Bryan, and prior to the convention of 1920, stated in the voters' pamphlet that if elected he would be great ly influenced by Bryan's advice. His diversity of interests led to litigation and Mr. Purdy was a party to some famous cases before the lower and the supreme courts of the state. One caso was pend ing at the time of his death. Mr. Purdy Is survived by his widow, nine children and a largo number of grandchildren. CITY ENRICHED Yesterday afternoon nnd today brought $120 In fines into the city coffers and caused the sus pension of driving licenses for two motorists who did not pay rince. On a charge of being drunk and possessing liquor H. Wilson of Portland was fined $60. Ho was arrested last night on Capi tol 6treet. Joe Wilson of Camas, Wash, was fined ?10 for reckless driv ing.

Bailey was suspended for 15 days. T. L. Acuff forfeited $10 ball for drunkenness and J. G. Etzcl was fined $5 for speeding. Volunteers Offer Christmas Help (ContmuM trom Page One) maA Cheer committee. Continued response from the pub lie to the appeals for help will en able the committee to achieve lUt goal,' Chairman Erixon declared this morning. Considerable money is still needed to meet the heavy outlay for foodstuffs and clothing that have and are to be provided for poor children, but the task of caring for all ha been greatly simplified by the volunteer of fern' of Individuals and organizations to take entire families off of the handii of the committee. Several individuals have volun teered to piny Santa Clans to se lected families, and last night the American Legion adopted fifteen of the families on the Christmas Cheer list, rwch will be provided with a basket filled with Christ man dainties and staple foods enough to supply their need 'for several days. Free passes to the Hcillg theatre good for admission for evory member of the family will be included In each basket. ' Christmas dlnnorg have also been offered for several others, one wo man with a family of seven volun teering to tako some widow and her family of little ones into her homo for the Yuletide dinner. A Sunday school class has asked that It be allowed to make up baskets for two other families. Thus is the demand for Christ mas relief being1 slowly whittled down within roach of the Christ mas Cneer lunu, which this year is smaller than for several years past At 1 o'clock this afternoon the fund nt tho Capital Journal office had Just passed tho $250 mark. On Decembor 22 last year mom than $400 had been contri buted. The committee, however, is finding soliice in the slower re sponse this year in the fact the moderate weather conditions have reduced actual suffering among tho needy to a minimum, nnd that except for clothing nnd shoes to be purchased most of the expend! turea will bo for candy, nuts, toys and the other little articles that go to make up Christinas cheer for tho children. Four hundred dollars, coupled with the bundles of clothing, food, toys ana other articles that aro among the donations being turned In at the Elks Temple, should car ry the Christmas Cheer movement successfully over the top, It was estimated this morning. This leaves approximately $100 to bo raised during the next two days. While the committee will eon tinue to function in emergency cases through Christmas day, most of the work will be completed with the wrapping of the bundles to morrow night, and their distribu tion Thursday. Volunteer Elks will gather at the temple at 7:30 . on Thursday night to make up the packages, and the distribution will be mads by other volunteers in automobiles the following day. Each of these packages will con tain tickets of admission to tho Ore gon theatre good for all of tho members of each family. To take care of the last minute calls for aid that come in dona tions to the fund will be received at the Capital Journal office up to Thursday night.

"All I -want is men who can help me run this penitentiary the way I think it ought to bo run, Reconstruction of tho guard personnel is the matter to which the warden is giving most of his attention in an effort to construct a. force physically and mentally capable of coping with any emer gency that may arise.
