Universal Sendee.
Senator Chamberlain conferred .with
Secretary of War Baker today relative
to his plan for universal service.
Doubt exists among military men
that the intricate machinery for put
ting universal service into practice
could be placed in motion under two
years.
This would, of "course, require pdop
tion of the volunteer system at least
temporarily, in the present crisis,
should troops be needed.
Before the universal system could be-
established, military men saj', the elig
ible male population ' would first have
to be listed, under methods similar to
taking of the national census, and it
has been auggested some skeleton form
of universal service might be rushed
into operation.
Military men fear a call for the mili.
tia or for volunteers at this time would
upell the death of universal service for
many years to come. It would, in sub
stance, be further endorsement of the
traditional volunteer system and consti
tute a national expression of confi
dence in it at a time of-, peril, they
sav.

UNDERTOOK 10 JUMP
THE CJTrS LANDING
Skinner & Bushnell Started
to Plant Anchor In Ferry
Approach
The night was cold and dark ojid'
dreary and the rain fell and the winds
were never weary.
This is not the opening of the first
chapter - of a dramatic novel entitled
"The Crossing of the Ferry," but just
a preliminary remark to what happen
ed last evening in connection with the
dispute and difference between, Skin
ner & Bushnell, who would like to run
a ferry and tho county of Marion and
the city of Salem, endeavoring to ar
range for a free ferry.
Having refused an offer to buy their
ferry and not making terms satisfac
tory to the city and county for the op
eration of a free ferry) Skinner & Bush
nell, attempted at 9:30 o'clock last
night to dig a largo holo in the eenter
of the landing prepared by the county
between Court and Chemekcta streets,
whereby they could anchor a cable by
which to operate a ferry regardless of
the' wishes of the authorities on this
side.
Watchman Was There.
Beginning with about $1:30 Inst eveu
ing th story runs along as follows: An
ticipating that some such move might
be made in the darkness the city and
county had placed a watchman at the
lauding place on this side. At 9:30
o'clock last evening the watchman no
ticed several men digging a hole in the
center of the landing place. Haid watch
man approached Mr. Bushnell and his
men and suggested they weren't doing
exactly right- He was informed that it
would take more tjiau one man to make
them quit. .
The watchman then got in quick com
munication with the city and county
officials and within a short time there
appeared on the scene Dan J. Fry and
Fred Steusloff of the special commit
tee appointed by President Albert Of
the Commercial club; Judge Bushey of
tho Marion county court; James Culver,
county road supervisor; Walter L.
Spaulding, representing the Spaulding
interests, and J. A. Folnud, of the night
rjolice force.
Told What Would Be Done.
Mr. Bushnell was informed Wat ho
was digging without either tho permis
sion of the city authorities, which is
contrary to ordinance and that he had
no permit from Mr. Spaulding.
"What will you do about it if we
don't quitj" asked Mr. Hliinner. He
Was quickly informed that hp would be
arrested and thrown in jail. Then Mr.
Skinner came from the other side and
after a conference about midnight, they
picked up their tools and left for tho
west side of the river.
The city and county officials held
council. and decided to fill in the hole,
and station a policeman at the landing
to notify them if any further efforts
wore ninile fo secure a cable landing.
Would Stop Tree Ferry.
The Spaulding Logging company
owns the land along tho river bank and
it hag granted a franchise free to the
city and council for the purpose of op
eration of a ferry for benefit of the
public. The life of tho franchise is
during thstimo until a new bridge shall
have been constructed.
As it now stands, no one can place a
cable support or land on this side of
the river withoyt the permission of the
.Spaulding Logging company or the city,
as'Water street adjoins the Spaulding
holdings.
As the ferry is to ho operated free,
the general opinion is that it can cross
the river and land its passengers on
the property on the west side owned oy
Joseph H. Albert and cross to the high
way over land owned by Pinskney
Bribers.
.- The Counfy and city officials now are
desiroug of operating a free ferry. Skin
ner & Bushnell offer their ferry for I0
a day rent whieh is regarded as too
hiah a price. An offer was made to
Skinner & Bushnell to bny their ferry
at a profit of 25 per cent. This they
refused and the result was that last
