School Board Meeting Ends
Rough and Tumble Battle
With every evidence of peace and
. harmony, the aonaol board of the
Olarkes dlatriot, 12 mllea southeast of
ui-egon city, convened in regular m eat
ing Friday afternoon. A halt hour
later, If meager returne from the front
line trenches are to be believed,
school meeting broke up In a general
free-for-all, with Rev. W. H. JVettlau-
for, .clerk of the dlatriot, bearing en
dence of what must have proven a
thrilling encounter. .-,.
Warranta were Issued from Justice
Slevers' court Saturday noon charging
B. Sullivan and A. F. Buobe, two mem
bers of the board, with assault and bat
tery and they will be arraigned Mon
day. According to Rev. Wettlaufer'a
story he was assaulted by his fellow
member. Mr. Bulllvaa, following an
argument over the teacher's .contract,
and before the smoke of battle cleared
away, he had been knocked from his
chair and bruised and otherwise mal
treated by Messrs. Sullivan and Buche.
While the two had nun on the floor
pummellng him about in an undigni
fied manner, It is claimed that Mrs.
Wettlaufer, chairmen of the school
board, came to her husband's assist
ance and finally the trio were separ
ated. The teacher, ' Miss Florence

FATHER OF BANK
PRESIDENT DIES
IN UNION COUNTY
UNION, Or., Dec. 11. W. T. Wright,
prominent in eastern Oregon affairs
for the past 60 years, died at his home
In this city at 2 o'clock this morning.
Mr. Wright had been slightly ill for
several days, but his sudden death
was unexpected by his family and a
shock to the community.
A son, Will Wright, formerly state
superintendent of banks, who lives In
Portland and Is president of The Bank
of Oregon City, was notified of his
father's unexpected death early to
day, and left at onoe for the family
homo at Union.
Oregon's campaign to enroll 140,000
members in the American Rod Cross Is
under full swing. Headquarters have
been opened In the Morgan building at
Portland, In charge of C. C. Chapman,
as state chairman and Henry E. Reed
as state manager. Organisation has
been extended Into every section
of the state, and there Is no doubt
that Oregon, as usual, will respond
generously to the nation's call.
The campaign is a nation-wide move
ment to increase the membership of
the Red Qroiis to 15,000,000, and pro-,
vide the United States with a large
and effective machine for war relief
work. President Wilson has declared
himself for a well organised and effi
cient Red Cross. He says the best
way in which to Impart the greatest
energy to the relief work of the war
will be to concentrate it in the hands
of a single experienced organisation
which has been recognised by law and
international convention as the public
Instrumentality for such purposes. .
The energies of the campaign in its
national and local aspects will be di
rected towards making the Red Cross
larger and more powerful. The parti
cular purpose of the movement Is to
enroll one dollar members. No special
emphasis will be placed on other
classes of membership, except that
where the opportunity li presented the
advisability of the 92.00 membership
including the Red Cross magaslne will
be urged.
From the Portland headquarters
the command has gone forth that
every man and woman in Oregon must
Join the Red Cross. The slogan of the
campaign is "Join (he Red Cross; all
you need a dollar ana a uearv
Every member will be expected to

BIG FIRE IN ATTLE80RO.
ATTLEBORO, Mass., Dee. 12.
Three large business blocks in the
center of this city were destroyed by
fire and 17 dwellings damaged with ai
total loss of 1500,000 early today. The
fire was put under ooetrol after aM:
A plan Is being considered by Coun
ty Clerk Iva M. Harrington to appoint
patriotic women of the county as the
judges and clerks of election for
next two years, with the understand
ing that the volunteers for the places
will devote their salaries aggregating
18600 at each election, to the Red
Cross. -!
The appointments will be made In
the January term of the county court
and If patriotic Red Cross workers will
volunteer tor the task and the court
sees fit to appoint them, a tidy sum of
approximately $2600 can bo turned
over to the Red Cross activities at
each general or primary election. There
are 81 precincts In the county and the
average cost for night and day boards
is in the neighborhood of $10.00, or
$3.00 apiece for three Judges and two
clerks for esch shift
Of course the proposition la entirely
a patriotic one, but Red Cross workers
all over the county believe that enough
patriotic And responsible women
be recruited for the task, so that the
full amount of the pay checks can be
turned over.
Miss Harrington plans to hold the
project open during the next week or
so before making any recommenda
tions for the county election Judges
and clerks who are appointed for two
year terms. In the meantime the Red
Cross workers are to begin a definite
'drive" among their membership to
get the required number of volunteers.
When asked If she thought the wo
men were capable of handling the elec
tion Miss Harrington called attention
to precincts where women act on the
board, and where their work has been
neater and better In every way than
that of boards handled by men.
