AGREE ON MINIMUM WAGE
Millionaire Says: "My Firm Pays Mar

All Required of Is. '
Chicago, March 11. Joseph Basch,
vice-president of Iho Slegel-Coopej'
copany, testified yesterday afternoon
that his concern employes 1250 wo
men and girls. They earn, ho said, an
average- of $8.50 a week, the minimum
16lng $3.50.
Uasch denied low wages Is responsi
ble for tho downfall of girls.
"It Is not poverty that makes girls
go wrong, but evil minds," he said.
Ilasch defended the system of paying
girls less than they can live on, saying
It gave them an opportunity to school
themselves.
Seaa'or Juul Interrupted the wltnws
liore to say that a girl who received
loss than a living wage must either
starve, steal or booomo immoral.
"Would you want your daughter put
In that position?" Senator Juul asked
liasch.

The latter evaded the question.
"My son Is working In the store as
an apprentice," ho buUI, adding that
lie would favor a minimum wngo law
if it provided a period of apprentice
ship for young girls.
"My firm pays market wages," said
Ilasch. "When we do as much as our
neighbors, we have done our part.
Ho fixed $9 as the weekly minimum
on which a girl could llvo but de

Portland, Or., March 11. Prominent
social workers and and club women of
Portland are heartily In favor of the
Investigation being mado by Illinois
senatorial cominlttoe at Chicago Into
tho low wages paid women workers
and the 'possible connection between
low wages and the whtlo slave traffic.
Two Portlandors who have spent much
time In the study of this question, ex
prosed themselves as follows:
Dr. R. S. Fisher, ono tlmo member
of the medical staff of Sears, Roebuck
& Co., Chicago: "I am strongly In
favor of tho senatorial Investigation
Into tho low wages now being carried
on In Chicago. Thero Is no doubt but
what low wages contribute to the
downfall of girls In many Instances,
Many girls will go wrong regardless
of wagta and many others would not
fall no matter what tho temptations,
but there Is a class tluvt when they
con not get food and sholter and stay
straight, they will go wrong. Any ono
-who has over lived In Chicago knows
that girls cannot livo on $4 or $5 a
week."
Low Wages the Cause,
Mis Caroline 0 lea son, social work'
er and director of the wage survey
conducted by the Consunvare' Leaguo
"There Is absolutely no doubt but
that low wages, too hard work and
too long hours are largoly responsible
for the downfall of many girls In the
shops. stores and factories of this
country. Girls do not enter Into a life
of prostitution deliberately, but they
gradually drift Into It because they
must supplement their wages In order
to eat threo meals a day and have a
roof over their heads. From long
hours and Inadequate nourishment and
cloMiIng a girl grows weak not only
physically but morally."
San Francisco Stirred.
San Francisco, March 11. "Any
thing that turns attention of the gen
oral public, or the care-Urns corfsumor,
on the struggle girls are making In
our nililm to merely llvo Is a good
thing," said Miss Katherlne Felton,
head of the Associated Charities, today
shaking of Senator Grant's proposed
bill. If the Investigations that are be

THE DRY CAMPAIGN
Deride to Hold nil Flection Early In
May Preliminaries Are All
Arranged.
With a whooping display of verbal
and financial pyrotechnics tho cam
paign to make Salom a dry town was
officially launched at a meeting at the
First Baptist church at noon today.
Upon a motion made by P. F. Schrock
the board of directors of the Municipal
Improvement league was authorized to
take the necessary stops for an elec
tion on the liquor question at the ear
liest possible moment.
The' election will without doubt be
held early In May. A special provision
of the Salem charter makes an elec
tion possible at that' time, and If the
election Is to be held In the course of
tho summer, It Is tho doslre of tho
league as voiced by R- A. Harris, state
printing expert, to hold It before a
largo part of tho population leaves the
city on summer vacation trips.
Expense !tot nmit.
Tho prevailing opinion of the gath
ering was that a special election can
be held in Salem for little more than
250, but President Jenks declared
that the treasury should contain 500
good substantial iron men before the
campaign is far along.
It was pointed out that a spcclnl
election Is desirable for two main
reasons. One is that If the liquor
question is merely one feature of a
general election interest in the ques
tlon Is frequently loat. Another rea
son was that It will be practically Im
possible for the wet forces to colonize
for a special election as they some
times do for general elections where
the liquor question Is an Issue.

W. T, Rlgdon and E. C. Mlnton, tho

town dry.
A special provision of the Salem

Montreal, March 11. Hearty wel
come was extended here today to Dr.
Frederick Franz Friedman, discoverer
of a tuberculosis serum, when he ar
rived to oonfer with Montreal physi
cians. Colonel Durland, chief benefac
tor of the Royal Tuberculosis Insti

depot, and escorted him to a hotel,
whore a score of prominent physicians
awaited him.
After a brief conference Dr. Fried
man went to the Institute, where he
administered hlB serum to a number of
patients in the presence of 50 physi
cians. All the doctors who welcomed
Frledmann were most friendly, and
assured him of their support In In
troducing his remedy for the "white
plague."
Maryi Rancour, aged 10, a tuberculnr
patient whose parents had died of the
disease, touched Frledmann's heart at
the Institute clinic, and, as a result,
she was first patient treated. The
girl lives In the wilds of Northern
Canada, and hearing that Frledmann
was oomlng, she made the trip to Mon
treal alone and addled to tho officials
to place he name on the list for treat

Frledmannn reached the city, and

CAN SELL THE LAND
Supreme Court Holds It Is Owner In
Fee Seven Other Coses Decided
This Morning.
Holding that Albany college had a
rlf,ht to sell the Involved land and use
the proceeds for the improvement of
tho Institution, if the land was not sold
to a religious denomination other than
the Presbyterian church, the supreme
court this morning, In an opinion writ
ten by Justice McBrlde, afflrmel the
opinion cf i he lower court for l.len
county, in tie case of the board of
trustees of AlLtiny college, respond
ents, tguinat C. M. Montelth, et al., ap
pellants. Tho Mnnte'tbs, In 1809, delivered to
tho college a deed to four blocks of
land In Albany. By mistake two of
tho blocks were omitted from the de
scription, but the plaintiff took pos
session of the lnnd, and used it until
the commencement of the suit shortly
after January 1, 1913. The Intent on
the part of the grantors, to convey to
the college all of the land now occu
pied and claimed by the college, 1b
not questioned by the defendant, but
when the college recently purchased
other property, presumably with the
Intention of disposing of some of the
land deeded by the Montelths, tho lat
ter declared that tho college was not
the owner In fee simple, and asked for
a decision of the court, declaring the
college trustees to lie trustees ot the
property, and for a dismissal of tho
suit. The court decreed that the col
lego was the owner of the land in fee
simple.
In his opinion. Justice McBrlde holds
that the deed was a gift for charitable
purposes, and that the college has
power to sell the land, as lone as It Is
not sold to a religious denomination
other than the Presbyterian church. It
is held that the sale would not be In
violation of tho trust, and that any
founds derived from tho sale are Im
pressed with tho original trust, and
must be applied to the Improvement
of the college, as designated In the
deed.

SCALPON HIS BELT
Roasts Committee and Also
the Mayor for Ways That
Are Devious and Dark
HE DEMANDS PUBLICITY
And by Itesolntlon Takes From the
Committee Power to Employ Spe
clal Secret Officer.
With the Introduction of a resolution
last night, aimed at the authority
granted tho health and police commlt
ttee at a previous meeting, to employ
secret police officers, and with brawny
statements to back each section ot
the resolution, Alderman Rlgdon ad
ministered a smashing wallop to Al
derman Mlnton, of the fifth ward, that
sent him groggy, figuratively Bpeak'ng
for the rest of the night. Incidental
ly Mr. Rlgdon landed on tho mayor
for a fow stiff prods. The mayor
didn't counter, Tho resolution was
adopted, and the evening was Rlgdon's.
Tho Rlgdon resolution rescinded:
the former resolution, giving the po
lice committee power to employ se
cret officers. Rlgdon centered his at
tack on the payment of a month!
salary to some unknown policeman,
which the belligerent alderman - de
clared should have been appprovod by
tho committee on accounts and cur
rent expenses. Ho Bald that at th'
tlmo It was his firm Intention to en
join the payment. Since tho mayor
had allowed the payment, however, ho
declared his Intention to enjoin any
further action ot that nature, nt his
own expense.
Minion Arch Conspirator.
"Isn't It astonishing," yelled Rlgdon.
"that a councilman who has howled'
his head off that tho charter must be
followed to the letter, and1 that all mon
ey must be accounted for, Is the arch
conspirator In this grab on the city
treasury?
"Had wo employed three special of
ficers, as was requested, tho money
paid out would have amounted to
threo times $7.1. For the $75 thnt
wns paid out no report has been mode.
Tho nnnie of tho offlror has never
been divulged. He has never quallfledl
for office by taking nn oath. Ho hasf
never been discharged. Ho has boon,
paid through tho mayor. That places1
the mayor In a peculiar position befor
tho pooplo of this city.
Chief Knows Him Xot
"Even tho chief of police doesn't
know' who this mysterious special of
ficer 1h, The charter sayB that all
policemen must qualify before the
chief. It says that all money paid
must be a matter of record. We have
no record of this payment. The mayor
hnn ndvocnted (ho widest publicity of
all business coming before this coun
cil, yet this hns never been made even
a matter of record. The charter says
that all officers must assist (he chief
In his various duties, yet th chief
doesn't know who this officer In. The
city marshal and the city recorder say
they have seen no results of this off I.
cer's service or of the pnymetit. of the
money. Thoso who do this kind of
business never go down to tho bottom
of things, and Investlgato from the
bottom. They scratch around on tho
top nnd olmcuro tho foundation, then
swear by all that Is great and good
that there Is no foundation. There Is
no doubt In my mind that If any old
fen of this city wants to slart pro
ceedings to have this money returned
he will not have the least difficulty In
difficulty In winning Ms ease."
Mlnton Takes Floor.
"I am glad to see the gentleman so
eloquent," said Alderman Million,
when Hindoo Inn! finished, and speak
ing more cnlmly than Is his wont.
"But he Is much mistaken about some
things. He said that this ccal offi

the committee have known who he
was "

he was?
