"Eat Salmon on Salmon Day,"March 14,
Saturday, March 15, will go down In
history as commemorating the most
eventful occasion ever arranged In
Salem by her citizens to show their
appreciation of the efforts on the part
of the P. E. & E., which has resulted
In such great benefit to the capital
city Many towns and cities In the
valley have set aside days for celebrat
ing the coming of tho railroad In the
past few years, but the celebration de
cided upon by Salem's commercial
men and progressive citizens In gen
oral uion which to extend a hearty
greeting to the Portland, Eugene &
Eastern company, will no doubt be the
most elaborate ever held In this state
or any other state on tho coast The
spirit In which the citizens are making
preparations for this fostlve day, is
not only a credit to Salem but to ev
ery Individual connected with the pro
posed plnnr.
Finns Nearly Arranged.
The members of the Salem Board of
Trade and other prominent Salem peo-
plo uro now working diligently to per
fect the plans for tho big celebration
A monster banquet In tho Hotel Ma
rlon has beeni arranged and the man
ngement of that hostelry Is aiding the
committed on entertnlnment as much
ns possible. Tho decorating committee
composed of Wm. McGllchrlst, Jr., J,
U Stockton, F. W. Spencer, Theo.
Roth, H. I). Patton, August Huckesteln
Walter Stolz and W. A. Denton are oc
tlve In preparing Salem for the occa
sion. The decorations will be the
most elaborate of nny ever before seen
In tho city. In other words, this city
will recolvo a "dolllng-up" thnt will
surprise even Its home people.
Providing tho weather Is favorable,
a speaking platform will bo construct
ed on the cast steps of tho court house
from which the addresses will be
made. Governor West has offered his
assistance In extending greetings to
tho P. R. & E., and Mayor Rteeves has
advised the committees that he will be
glad to lend any assistance In his pow
er for tho occasion. In tho event the
weather will not permit of outdoor
addresses the speaking will be held In
the armory,
Railroad officials will be on hand to
do their part and It Is probable that
President Strahorn, of tho P. E. & E
will deliver a speclnl address.
Although not definitely decided upon
there Is a probability that the Oregon
Eloctrlc and the Southern Pacific Co.
will offer reduced rates from points
through tho state for thoso who desire
to attend the celebration. In any
evenf., the committees working on the
preparation for the eventful day, are
determined to mako It one to be long
remembered and those falling to visit
Salem on March 15, will be missing
something very much out of the ordi
nary In the way of colebratlng a nota

A fierce fight took place last night

street vendor, Both men were armed
with knives, according to the police,
and Corbln is now confined in t lie 8a
lom hospital with a serious wound In
tho leBt shoulder and lung.
Tho particulars or tho fight cannot
bo ascertained by the pollco fully as
yet, owing to Day maintaining Bllenco
and Corbln being too weak to talk.
Last night however Corbln declared
to the officers that ho called upon Day
In the hitler's room to borrow a musi
cal Instrument. Day swore nt him and
followed up with nn attack on him
with a butcher knife. Then, states
Corbln, an unknown man broke
through nn opposlto door and hit Day
over the head with an ax, thus ending
the fray.

Just what tho row started over, la a
matter of conjecture to the police.
Doth men toll different tulos. Day

started tho fight. When Dosk Ser

ho found Corbln and Day bleeding
from several wounds aliout the head.
Corbln had rocelved a slash In the loft

Day's room. The blade entered a few
inches above the breast and ripped
downward for a distance of about four
Inches and three Inches deep. Tho

utes the jury that tried Clarence S.
Darrow on a charge of bribing Robert
F. Bain, a Juror in the McNamara
trial, reported to Judge Conley today
tliait It was hoiielessly disagreed. The
Jury was discharged after the court's
formal poll of its members showed
that It stood 8 to 4 for acquittal.
The report of Foreman Pettingill
was received In silence by tho crowd
that packed the court room. There
was not a sound but the shuffling of
feet when the result had been an
nounced. Foreman Pettingill confirmed the
following alignment of jurors oa the
final ballot:
For acquittal Sylvester Grant, J. II.

After each juror had Individually
assured the court that his opinion had
been registered unaltorably, Judge
Couley asked:
"What say the people?"
"Wo will leave It to tho court," re-
piled Assistant District Attorney Ford.
"What ays tho defense?" asked the
court.
"Wo leave It to you," replied Defense
Coupsel Powers,
I ho court then complimented the
Jurors for their patience, thanked them
for their service and dlsmlusod them.
Powers then arose and demanded
that a date bo set for the noxt trial on
tho indictment. Ford replied:
"Thoro probably will be no reason
for bo doing."
Acting upon Powers' roquost, Judge
Conloy fixed March 31, at 10 o'clock In
the morning as tbo time Tor tho trial
Ho added that if tbo prosecution moves
that the case bo dismissed, any supe
rior Judge is empowered to dismiss it.
The matter of another trial now
rests solely with. District Attorney
Fredericks. Darrow, It was reported,
would demand that ho face another
Jury. Immediately after tho disagree
ment, Fredericks said: "So far as I
know now, tbo enso will bo continued.
That Is the way we usually do In such
matters keep on trying until nn
agreement Is reached. I have not
given the matter consideration yot"
Darrow Is apparently greatly disap
pointed by tho result of the trial. Sur
rounded by his friends, ho refused to
comment at length In the court room
uion tho case. Ho Bald:
"I should havo been acquitted on the
evldonco, at once, but 1 wasn't. I shall
s'ay here and fight as long as they
want me to,"
District Attorney Fredericks de
clared late today that he will bring
the Darrow case to trial again.
"It Is still on tho books" he said,
"and I will go ahead with It. That's
what I'm here for. I have no furthor
plans to announce now."
Mrs. Darrow, pale and tense, receiv
ed tho shock bravely, she turned and
smiled nt her husband whoso face was
lined and weary. But almost inn
dlately Darrow gripped himself and
prompted his attorneys In tbo move to
havo ano.her trial date set,
When the court formalities were

"I feel pretty sure thnt tho San

allel that going on In Chicago. The
legislature ought to get tho facts."
Senator Gerdes declared that ho did
not want an investigation which could
be turned into nn effort to fix a min
imum wage for women, but ono which
