Williams as presidium of Albany Col lege, the new executive is already looking about and getting in shape to tuku vigorous hold of the work in hand. The clertioil was r. surprise to Rev. Mr. Williums and his acceptance was made after some little hesitation. The choice is hrid ideal for the col ege. , Rev. Mr. Williams was gradua ted from Albany College in 1896. He later attended Cumberland University Lcbanotn Ten., from which he was graduated in 1908. He came back to Oregon in 1006, remaining as pastor of the Presbyterian Church at Mc Minnvillo until 1911, following which he was selected to serve as superin tendent of religious edication of the Sunday School board for Oregon, Washington, and Idaho, taking 'sever al trips to the orient and the cast in his work. ' From 1015 to 1917 he was pastor of the Ravenna Boulevard church at Seattle, following which he came to the Grace Church at Albany. . The new president takes p his dut ies with the finances of the college In better shape than they have been In for many years. As shown by the report of the treasurer, J. M. Hawkins tha endowment fund ia now $263,581, .49 and the total assets amount to $354,608.26 with only $64,736.41 lia CARRANZA HAS POWER FOR ANY ACT JAL'REZ, Dec J A. P Gen eral L'ancha Villa haa been cap tured by a force of his own nea sad ia bring held for reward from the Mexican government, accord lag to advices received here late today by SupL Caballrro of the Chihuahua division of the Mexican National Itailwaya. Villa rebels are . reported to have presented themselves at fed eral headquarters at Parral and aotiaed the commander that Villa : had been captured and waa be ing arid for surrender to Car. ranza forces. The atate of Chi- , btiaaua haa already offered SO,- . MO pen m reward. ' Details of the bandits demands have aot been learned here yet. but it is known that a detachment of federal forces haa been sent f ram Parral to the spot indicat ed by two deserting Villa rebels. In some quarters It is' thought v the surrender is merely a hoax to entrap a force of Carraazistas. Only recently, after the execution of Gen. Felipi Angeles by Car- . raazialas. Villa and his mea fell upon federal force to the num ber of 900 and killed all but two, in retaliation for the execution. WASHINGTON. Dec. S-By A.

Explaining his resolution, which al so asked the President to withdraw recognition of Carranxa, Sen. Fall de clared it waa based on evidence which would astound the world when pro duced. Carranxa Is Supreme MEXICO CITY, Dec. 2 Delayed Solution of the difficulties arising out of Mexican international affairs with the United States was entrusted to President Carranxa without legisla tive intrusion by the senate at a secret session here today. Relations with the United States were declared during the session as be- ing "very delicate." The income from the endowment fund, tuition, etc., is practically enough o carry the ordinary expens es, of the college. The $45,000 three year fund that is being securred throuKhout the state and the General board of education will give .ample funds for the enlargement and devel opment of the college. . Dr. W. P. White, a member of the board pf regents, in speaking of Pres ident Williams' election this morn ing said: "I have for the last year been chair man of the committee to select s president for Albany College. I was commissioned by the trustees to find the right man, but I failed in the east. The fact that a "prophet ia not without honor save in his own country" blinded my eyes to the fact that we had a man in Albany who ia friend of our college and who knows its heeds, and who is fitted for the office of president. I have been a trustee of Albany college for 18 years and, have never had so much faith in the future of Albany College as I have under the direction of President Wil liams'. ' , . Prsldent Elect Williams When ask ed this morning for a statement said: "My reasons for accepting the pres idency of Albany College is based (Continued on Page I) GOOD HOMES ARE . ' CITIZENSHIP HELP Environment During Growth of Children Largely Re sponsible' for Future Dr. A. P. Howell led the discus sion at the open Forum at Grace church last night. The subject wss "Citizenship in the Home". Dr. How elli emphasized the point that good citizenship is mainly a result of prop er home environment and home train ing, that the Impressions the hcild receive during its adoloseent period are the ones which dictate its fut ure action. - Mrs. E. H. Hart responded to a request from the chairman for an o pinion as to methods for obtaining obedience and maintaining discipline among children. Those attending the forum were quite enthusiastic as to the public benefit the institution can be made. The chairman, H jb Bayant, was del egated to sec j re a speaker from a mong Albany's professional men for next Tuesday night. The subject and speaker will be announced later.

Secretary New- myer is 'authority for the statement that everything points to this, last conference as being the largest by far of" any in the series and the progzam : that is watting for the delegates, be states, is one of the best ever gjvem l anywhere. . "Because of the close proximity of many places to-Albany, we are expect ing not less than 300 delegates fromt outside the city itself said Mr. New myer. "I think there ia no doubt about, this conference being the biggest in 1 the entire series of six, as letters and -registrations point to this fact un mistakably. The whole series has been a wonderful indication of inter est among older boya and the fellows have exhibited great interest in the meetings thus far held. It certainly is inspiring to attend these sessions and note the awakening, enthusiastic interest manifested." Among the speakers scheduled for ' this meeting is Mrs. Jean Morris EUis of Portland, o woman of most remark able ability as a character analyst. She knows boys, for she is a mother, and because of her unselfish devotion to the boy work in the Northwest, she has endeared herself to hundred of those attending the conferences through personal interviews. She may be interviewed by any delegate. Ia many instances she has cleared up troublesome situations for boys and has directed their minds along defi n! channels, so that her advice will undoubtedly shape their lives into j better citizenship and helpfulness than (Continued on Page 8) SHOP EARLY and shop early in the day ONLY 22 More days until Christmas
