I Cherry Fair and Fourth of July to Be Extensive Affairs. ENCEINI E MANY NEW FEATURES DUE Plans to Secure Additional Funds Dis cussedExcellent Progress Is Eeported. With the report of the finance com mittee of the Cherry Fair and Fourth of July celebration showing $200 al ready collected and $750 more on the way, the general committee of the three-day festival which will be held in Salem July 3, 4, and 5, got very busy last niylit at the meeting held in the Illiheo club rooms and considerable preparations were mado for what is to bo the greatest ovent ever pulled off in the Capital City. According to the different committee chairmen, however, who asked for ap propriations last night, it is up to the finance committee to solicit inoro funds in order to fulfill the orders notwith standing the fact that tho "money getters" have done splendid work. If more funds can not be secured, many of tho different committees will bo com pelled to carry out their part of tho program on less, money than they ask ed for. City Treasury In Line. A special committee composed of three members of the financo commit tee will wait on tho members of the city council soon for the purpose of recommending that that body donate 1000 toward tho fair fund instead of but $2."0. This conclusion wag arrived at following a talk by Mr. Hamilton, the mannger of the Portland Railway, Light & Tower company.' Mr. Hamil ton said that the city could well afford to give $1000 toward defraying the ex penses of holding the Cherry Fair and Fourth of July celebration, and by do ing bo it would only forward a move ment which is directly in tho interest of Salem as a whole. Thero are several moro people who can and will donato for the occasion, according to tho members of different committees, and theso people will be called upon at an early date, and it is believed that ample funds will be forthcoming in duo time to the extent that none of the committee will be compelled to carry on their work on stinted appropriations.

THIRTEEN GET DIPLOMAS Appropriate Program Is Carried Out In Presence of Large Crowd at Meth odist Church. Commencement exercises of Willam ette University College of Liberal Arts wore held in tho First Methodist church this morning at 10 o'clock. Dr. John Lam on d, Edinburg, Scot land, delivered one of the strongest ad dresses Salem people have ever been privileged to hear. Ho took for his subject "The World's Outlook." He presented the value of a college as not being a source of un ending knowledge, but a means of show ing them what thoy did not know, and so developing their minds that they might possess the facilities for acquir ing knowledge. Tho speaker urged each graduate to find tho sphere for which he was adapt ed and, adopting a set purpose, work steadfastly and earnestly for tho ac complishment of that end. Speaking of Scotland, the doctor said lawyers were s common as blackber ries in Edinburg, school teachers were on hand in abundance, and for every opening in the pulpit thero are ISO ap- plicantB. The person who would rise in this country has not near as hard a job. . In regard to tho different vices and their effect on nations, tho speaker said: "Where there is no doep spiritual conviction, that nation is doomed." In regnrd to the United States, he said: "I have been in public life for a quarter of a century, and not once have I heard the United States men-! tioned, but in appreciation." j His concluding words were: "I have held many positions of distinction; I have spent more vears in this world than I care to tell, and I believe that time alone can tell the value of any life. The humble effort may be performed just as heroically as tho all-important duty in some world-reaching enter prise." Following the address, Dean Men denhall rendered a pipe orgau solo. President Homan next delivered the final address to the candidates for de grees. Mrs. W. H. Frye, wife of Dr. W. II.

Believing that this price was exorbitant, J. L. Stockton took the floor and put up a strong ar goment against paving the amount de manded by the local musical organiza tion. He was followed by others who lid not believe that the baud should hosm' such a chargo for the work dur ing the fair and several were in fnver of putting out the Salem band alto gether.

Following the publication of various lettors writton by C. C. Hamlin, of the Michigan Beet Sugar Company, which presumed to show that the Associated Press, tho American Press Association, the American Newspaper Union and va rious newspapers had freely tent their services to the sugar lobby, Senator Root suld today: "I want tho country to got the full significance of these lettors. I want them to kuow how the sugar people, using every weapon and backed by lim itless wealth, have been fighting to de feat froo sugar. They have swayed pub lic opinion using the press in the most during manner, and have conducted S country wide campaign, to Influence senators and representatives, and havs even onlistcd tho aid of mllroads to got favorable congressional action against freo sugar." Fight Against Testimony. A stiff fight, but fruitless, against the reading of further correspondence showing the sugnr trust publicity meth ods was put up at tho opening of the hearing to.Hy, John Yorkos, counsel for Henry Oxnard, arguing at great length that tho committee was exceed ing Its rights. Before Yerkes stated his objeetioni however, two more lottors were read. One of these, dated July, 190H, was from Oxnard to Truman Pulmer, soetw tary of of tho sugar lobby. It congrat ulated Palmer for having Aaron Grove, tho great western sugar man, "go around trying to educate congressmen." Another letter read was unsigned.

He asked mn for sugges tions for action, ami I think I will write him as to the annual meeting, when the wholo subject can be thoroughly can vassed." Yerkes objected to the reading nf theso and other letters on the ground that they ire not now competent, hav ing been written before tho Investiga tion started.
