TWO SOCIAL
Tomorrow is the annual red letter day
for the scholarship loan fund, and it
is expected that it will be a most aus
picious one in the history of the Salem
Woman a club, which is taking caarge
of this campaign. For nine years mon
ey has been raised on this day to aug
ment that already on hand, all previous
efforts being directed through one dis
tinct affair. This year, however, an
entirely different method is to be per
sued, a large number of benefit events
to be given, as it is expected that in
this wny interest will brt wider, the in
dividual expense less, and the results
more substantial and satisfactory. Those
cvente will bo what i termed "chain
nf fairs," that is, each omo who wishes
to insist in enlarging this fund is to
givn an entertainment of some kind, a
card party, luncheon, dinner, or tea, the
thoico being optional, each guest to do
nate n small sum to their hostess, and
then, in turn, give a like affair.
Many have already promised their as
sistance, among them Mrs. F. A. Elliott,
president of the Nnlem Woman's club,
and Mrs. A. H. Kuzmarek, who will bo
joint hostesses at n sixtcen cover lunch
eon tomorrow. Various affairs will fol
low in rapid succession, and it is ex-
t.t,l.l lltnf ll.n ,.!,; n.ill l,vn ,.h n
ir i,:n! It n-;u tnbn ,nn
timu to complete it.
Any ono who wishes, whether club
members or not, are sulieited to uid in
this praiseworthy effort, by entertain
ing in some milliner. There is no restric
tions on the time iu which thev may
he given, but it is hoped that all whei
intend to help will do so ns soon us
possible, so that the final proceeds mny
bo 'ollccted at about tho nami time.
This uffers an opportunity to tho var
ims informal social, card, needlework
and literary cluiis of tho city to do
something for philiinlhrophy. Hostesses
could most consistently ask for dona
tions from each of the members, the
amount, whether It be a dime ur n qunr
ter, would make up u net sum, which
would aid very materially.
Mi', mid Mrs. William ('. Knighton
will bo hosts fur their Hriilge club this
week, entertaining Wednesday evening.

HI IS H IT
Microscopic Examination of
Clue Fails to Establish
Real Murderer
As a result of the microscopic exam
ination of the strands of hair taken
from the hands of Mrs. Daisy Wchr
maa, tho woman who was killed by an
unknown murdorer in Columbia coun
ty, in September; 1911, together with
samplos of hair taken from the heads
of John Arthur Pender, who stands
convicted of the crime and is serving
a life sentence in the penitentiary, and
John G. H. Siereks, tho imbecile in
mate of tho insane asylum who con
fessed to the murder and then repudi
ated his statement, developed to the
satisfaction of Governor Withycombe,
according to a statement given out yes
terday afternoon, that the hair which
was clutched in tho death grip of the
murdered woman was not that of Pen
der, that it might possibly havo been
Siorcks, and that, in order to establish
to a certainty whether or not it was the
woman's hair, he would have the
bodies of the murdered woman and her
child exhumed from their resting place
at tldora, lowa, and a sample of hoi
hair secured for comparison.
t urtlrermore, he hus detailed Warden
Lawson, of the penitentiary, to go to
Scappooso and investigate certain evi
dence connected with tho Siercks con
fession in order to establish beyond a
question of doubt us to whether it was
possible for Biereks to havo committed
the crime. In tho meantime Governor
Clnrke, of Iowa, will be asked to co
operate in the corroboration or dis
provnl of the theory that the hair be
longed to the woman. Following the
examination of tho strnnds and locks
of hair in the governor's offico yester
day afternoon, Governor Withycombe
gave out tho following stntomcnt:
"I have seen enough to feel convinc
ed that the hair found in Mrs. Wehr
man's hands was not that of Pender.
There seems some reason to believe that
it might have been Siorcks'; at least
the generul character of tho hair, rts
examined under the microscope, is en
tirely different from the Tender hair,
and is practically identical with
Hiercks'. Of course, even the prosecu
tion never claimed that the hair found
in tho dead woman's hands wns len
ders'. Now, it is npparent that so far
ns its physical texture is concerned, it
might lie Siercks', On tho other hand,
it also might be the woman's herself,
or someono elses. The next important
matter is to establish that the hair is,
or is not, Mrs. Wehrinun'a. 1 shall
uttcmpt to get hair from tho body of
Mrs. Wehrmun, to eontinuo the investi
gation. If the hair, is the sumo as this
wo have exnmincd.'tho mutter is closed,
nt least so far rts tills lead is concerned.
If it conclusively is not, nn important
point is established wo are suro that
the hair is not the woman's, wo arc
sura that it' is not Pender's, and there
is good reason to believe that it is
Kierekii'.
Tho bodies of Mrs. Wehrman anil
Imr child nro buried at El Dora, Iown.
It iB understood that probably no legal
means exist for having tho bodies ex
humed, but iu the hope of gelling this
done, Governor Withycombe today
wrote to Governor Georgo W, Clarke,
nkking if tho exhibits., eould bo pro
cured. "I am open to conviction in the
case," said Governor Withycombe. "I
have no preconceived idees. If Pender
is innocent, he shall bo released. All I
want to do now is to run down all the
information avnilahlo. I beliovo thut
Govornor Clarke will do what ho can
to nsnist mo, when tho facts oro laid
boforo him."1
