The classes in methods; of mathe
matics, and chemistry and physics that
were planning to go to Monmouth State
Normal today have postponed their-trip
to Thursday. About 20 students will
take the trip, which is for the purpose
of gaining ideas about teaching, from
studying the methods employed in ped
agogical work in the normal school.
Thoso planning to go are: Misses
Valeda Haxie, Addie Tobie, Flora Han
sel, Birdino McKinney, Ada Boss, Rosa
mond Gilbert, Lola Cooler, Lola Belle
McCaddnm, Helen Wastcll, Ruth Tac
kar, Barbara Steiner and Mrs. Jonn
Gray. Messrs. David Cook, Fred Mc
Miliin, Willis Bartlett, Wesley Ham

John Gary.
They will leave early in the morning
and spend the entire day there.

of the '18 class, now a prominent news
paper man nt Albany, was seen for a
few minutes on the campus last even-'
Tho tennis courts are a busv srjot
these days, every one who has a racquet
or can borrow one, seems to be learning
the game, so that the courts are con
s'nntly full. The cement courts are in
such great demand that it is not unlike
ly there will be need of several more
like them soon. The dirt courts have
I fallen into disfavor and it is only a
I question of time when they will neeil to
i be faced with a cement covering so that
; the co-eds may have plenty of space to
indulge in the only athletic contests
they arc allowed to enter.
The rose-beds are full of buds and n
few more days of warm sunshine will

i Samuel R. King, who was recently
I unanimously elected to edit next year's
.Collegian, is putting out this week's
Collegian. The office of editor became
i vaennt Inst week, when M
was suspended from school. King was
appointed by the executive committee to
fill the vacancy until it was taken over
by an elected representative; inasmuch
as he was familiar with the work, hav
ing been associate editor this year. His
official duties will not begin, however,
until next .September.
The two men's literary societies hnvc
postponed their regular meetings from
Wednesday evening to Thursday night
on account of the glee club concert nt
the First Methodist church tomorrow
evening. They felt that such an event
was of more value to them, inasmuch as
it will be the first time the two clubs
have appeared in publie in Salem for
five years, than to hold a literary pro
gram. Professors VonEschen and James T.
Matthews will canvass the state this
summer in the interests of the univer
sity, to secure promising students. Both
Prof. VonEschen and Matthews have
done considerable lecture work and
their labors this summer can be ex
pected and counted on to bring results.
The university will issue scholarships
to a number of the best students in
high schools throughout the state. These
scholarships will be based upon both
the individuals mental and physical
ability. This year's freshmen class con
tains a number of men who enrolled
under the same condition. Under this
system the university will get some of
the best talented men ami women in
the high schools throughout the stnte
and Willamette will soon have a much
larger student body, ior her present
year's records speak well for the
achievements of the system.

Caplan Jury Is
Sffl Deadlocked
Los Angeles, Cal., May 18. Their
plea of a seven to five deadlock ignored
by Judge Frank R. Willis, jurymen in
tho David Caplan trial, it was ex
pected today might continue delibera
tions until they had been out 100
hours.
The great expense of the dynamite
trials to Los Angeles county would
force Judge Willis to hold out consider
ably longer than in an ordinary case.
Caplan waited in his cell all day yes
terday, until the jury was locked up
last night, for the summons to appear
in chambers and hear his fate.
He did not appear dejected over the
deadlock, which is conceded a victory
for the defense.
Another ballot will be taken at 10

Says It Is a Compromise
Measure But Is Along the
Right Lines
Washington. May 16. Presenting the
congressional conference report on the
army bill to the senate today, Senator
Chamberlain, of Oregon, said that the
peace strength of the army .would be
11,000 officers and 200,000 men under
the terms of tho military measures.
The army's war strength is fixed at
11,500 officers and 225,000 men. As for
the national guard, its maximum
strength is to be 17,000 officers and
440,000 men, Chamberlain asserted.
In the house, Representative Hay de
nied the accuracy of these figures. He
charged that Chamberlain hnd boosted
the statistics to show that "big army"!
men won in the conference discussions.
Replying to this, Chamberlain assert
ed that Hay was depressing the figures
to indicate a victory for the "little
army men."
"The bill is a compromise and in part
experimental," declared Chamberlain.
"It may not work out. Fundamentally
it is right and it should be welcomed
by all reasonable advocates of prepared
ness." He announced that the volunteer
army provisions had been stricken out
and civilian training camps substituted.
The provisions for officers of a rational
reserve and a training corps were re
tained. The nationnl guard, he pointed out,
would have a grcnt chance to prove the
claim that it has been held back hereto
fore by outside forces.
