12 PACIFIC "IT MAY OUST PBESIDEI1 Alumni, Students and Faculty Join Fight Against Dr. W. N. Ferrin. ABILITY FOR PLACE, TARGET Trustees of University at Forest Grove to Meet in Portland Today and Consider Trouble of long Standing. As the culmination of a movement that has been under way for many months the Board of Trustees of Pa clflc University will consider today proposal to oust Dr. W. N. Ferrin from the presidency of the institution. Al though Pacific is located at Forest Grove, the meeting at which the issue of the presidency Is to be decided will be held at the Portland Young Men': Christian Association this afternoon a 1:30 o'clock. Opposition to the administration of President Ferrin. It is understood, has existed since he assumed the presl dency In 1903. It Is only recently. however, that this opposition has been brought to a focus and official notice taken of it by the trustees. Three forces are leading in the ef fort to bring about a change in ex ecutives at Pacific University. These forces are the Associated Alumni, some of the trustees and the faculty. Both the Alumni and the faculty have taken definite action, seeking to retire Dr. Ferrin. A statement from the faculty, approving this course, and a large number of letters from alumni will be put before the trustees at their meet ing today. Alumni Make Replies. The alumni letters are in reply to a circular letter sent out by a com mittee of the Associate Alumni. This letter asked if the alumni considered conditions at Pacific satisfactory, the status of rival institutions being: con sidered. In case a negative reply was given, each alumnus was requested say what he thought was the reascn and the remedy. Approximately one- third of the living alumni responded, a great majority coming out definitely for a change in administration. Less than a half dozen said that they con Ktdered conditions at Pacific were what they should be. Dr. Ferrin contends that the oppo sition of the alumni has been aroused by a handful of disgruntled graduates. His reply to the practically unanimous stand taken against him by his faculty is not known. . It is not certain what the action of the trustees will be. The board has been divided quite evenly. Some hints lave been dropped of a compromise, based on the resignation of Dr. Fer rin. to take effect in one year, but this rumor is unconfirmed and it 1: known that Dr. Ferrin has made pub ' lie no such suggestion. The charges against Hr. Ferrin.- it is understood, all relate to policy and management. Lack of executive abil ity and tact and failure to hold the support of many whose loyalty to the school might be expected, are among them. Many of those who desire lt. Ferrin's retirement hope to see him kaot at the school as head of the de partment of mathematics, a position h formerly occupied. Others feel that his withdrawal from the school Is the only way to bring harmony. Ferrla Refnsea t Renin. The first action taken by the alumni In the present controversy was at a special meeting held last Fall In the Portland Y. M. C. A. This meeting was called by Professor Arthur Yoder. of Washington High School, then pres. dent of the alumni. A committee ap pointed to raise funds for the school had reported tnat lime encouragement had been received from the alumni, due to general opposition to the head of the college. The meeting, which w nn of the best attended held by the Pacific Alumni, voted In favor of a change In administration, oui ap nnlntad a committee of three, headed by Rev. Philip E. Bauer, state parole officer, to send out a circular letter to nt the ODlnions of all the alumni. This letter was Issued some time ago and th answers were submitted to tne trustees at a recent special meeting held In the Portland Y. M. C. A. A brief statement from the faculty, fa voring a change in presidents, was aiso submitted at thia time. The only action taken was to appoint an Investigating committee consisting r B. s. Munting lon. W. T. Fletcher. Philip E. Bauer, Giorge H. Marsh and Kugene P. Mc-t-ornack. This committee will report today, but the substance oftits findings has not been announced. It is known that considerable In fluence haa been brought to bear on Dr. Ferrin to secure his resignation, but so far without results. The only member absent from the recent meet ing of the trustees wrote to Dr. Fer rin. asking for his resignation. Other trustees and alumni also are said to have advised this action. StHdeata Take Part. The situation is said to have aroused considerable feeling in Forest Grove, the seat of Pacific. Even the college students circulated a petition asking for a change. This petiUon was large ly signed, all but one member of the class that graduated this month join ing In the request. The statement by the faculty seeking Dr. Ferrin's retirement was signed by every member of the faculty, outside the conservatory of music, with tb exception of Professor Alexis Ben Korl. who wrote a letter to the board in which he agreed with his associates that a change in executives is neces sary. It is understood that Professor F. T. Chapman, head of the conserva tory of music. Is favorable to Dr. Fer rin. "The graduates of Pacific University are sorry thai It would be necessary for such a situation as the present to develop." said R. F. Peters, a Portland lawyer and president of the Associate Alumni. "The great majority of alum ni, however, believe that a change in ministration la imperatively demand ed. Dr. Ferrin has now been in charge of the school for more than ten years, counting two years he was dean, and we think that la sufficient test. . Executive- Ability Attacked. "The fact that Dr. Ferrin hasn't a single member of the faculty support ing him. except in the musical depart ment, we regard as conclusive evidenco that he Is not qualified for his position. Certainly If this was not more than a factional controversy he would have at least s minority, of teachers with him after all these years. -There hss been no criticism of Pres ident Ferrin as a man, but there Is much criticism of him aa a college president. We do not feel that he ha the executive ability and other qualifi cations necessary to fill the presidency succ."ffully. When Dr. Ferrin wis professor of mathematics he was re garded as a successful teacher. It Is very unfortunate that he did not con tinue In that position." PRESIDENT. OF PACIFIC UNIVERSITY, WHOSE RETIRE MENT IS SOUGHT. 1 DR. WILLIAM GRANGE ACTS READY nitiative Road Measures to Be Filed Today. BILLS EMPOWER COUNTIES Proposed Law Would Give Voters Voice in Plans and Materials of ImprovementsMoney From Bonds Restricted. Before the Secretary of State's office at Salem is closed for the day at 6 'clock this afternoon, a committee representing the Oregon State Grange will file Its two Initiative road bills which will go before the people for their approval In the November elec tion. The time for filing initiative measures to be submitted in the No vember election does not expire until July 4, but the Grangers, having more than the required number of signs tures. decided not to defer filing their petitions. ' With a number of petitions yet to arrive In the mails tonight and in the morning, we have more than 10,000 sig natures and will file our measures some time tomorrow with the Secretary of State at Salem," said C. E. Spence, of. Oregon City, master of the State Grange, yesterday. "Although the principal work of circulating the initl ative petitions was directed by Grang ers, we received assistance from other sources and, with the explanation of he measures that was offered, nad no trouble in procuring the necessary number of signers. Our petitions were circulated in nearly every county in the state. Not to exceed three or four counties are unrepresented among tne igners." Satisfactory Solatloa Hoped. The Grange proposes through N the enactment of its two measures to pro vide a satisfactory solution to the problem of good roads in this state. The first bill is an enabling act. au thorizing the counties to issue Bonds for the construction of permanent roads. It contains a provision ex pressly reserving to the voters of each county a determination ol the roaos to be improved with the funds pro duced from the issue of bonds. The accompanying measure Is known as the Commission Highway bin ana pro- ides for the appointment by the oov rnor of a Highway Engineer at an an nual salary of J360O. His outies. pre scribed in the measure, include assist Ing counties In their road construction by furnishing plans and specifications; Investigating and experimenting with different classes of road building and materials used: determining the re ronulramenta of different sections of the state aa to roaa improvements un the kind of roads best suitea, ana as- istinar the counties in the selection ox efficient road superintendents, under under whose direction Toads will be constructed. Our bills nronose to permit tne peo- t1 In averv county of the state to de cide six essential points as to road- building before they vote on tne issue of bonds with which the improvements r to be made." said A- L Mason, of Hnnd River, who superintended tne circulation of the Initiative petitions. Tkrni nf the six essential points re late to financial questions wnue tne other three concern constructive roaa buildlng. Coaatlea uivea i-ovrer. in other- words, the people of a county desiring to issue bonds for the improvement of Its roads will first de mniie themselves in an election the amount of bonds to be Issued, the time these obligations snail run ana . rat of interest they snail near. Th will then proceed to select the road or roads to be Improved and the amount of money to he expenaea on each; decide upon the character of the Improvement and the material to be used and Ox tne maximum grauo m u Uowed In the proposed construction of any road. One of our bills includes a secuuu t,i.h nmvides that money raised from the sale of bonds cannot be expended in the construction of any road having mirimiim crude of more than 5 per cent, unless ordered at tuecounty road meeting. Th county road meeting, for which provision is made, consists of a gath ering of delegates elected from every road district in the county. Represen tation at these meetings is based on the assessed valuation or tne property the road district, although cacn ais- trict is entitled to at least one repre- ntative. This insures a rair repre sentation from- all parts of the county these meetings, wnicn win aeter- nilne all questions relating directly to 0? NELSON FERRIN. the issuance of bonds and the improve ment of the public highways. Portland Cltlseas Thanked. "We feel especially grateful to the business men of Portland for their In terest in our bills. . They enabled us in a short time to secure many signa tures. Many of the largest firms of the city, having from 1000 to 2000 em ployes, virtually turned their buildings over to us and in other ways assisted us in obtaining signatures. Members of the special committee, representing the Grange, appointed to take charge of the petitions, met at the Multnomah Hotel yesterday. The hundreds of individual petitions were arranged In proper form for filing to day. In addition to Mr. Sp'ence and Mr. Mason, the following Grange offi cers assisted in the task: B. G.

Victim Says Personality Does Not Enter Into Case but Expected Guests Xeed Protection. The following statement is printed at the request of a member of the City Executive Board, D. Soils Cohen: "In the notice inserted in your local column this morning concerning the arrest of V. Soils Cohen, there are two Incorrect statements. I did not at tempt to pass through a gate barred to the public. I neither thought, held nor Intimated that as chairman of the Fire Committee, or in any capacity, I had any right to go where other clti xens had no right to go at the same time. I am not displeased, however, that these mistakes occurred In your report, as they give me the opportunity to mention the only fact in the matter which is of interest to the public, which is the growing realisation that a num ber of the officers upon our present police force are absolutely unfit for the positions they hold. Officer No. 97 proved himself both a ruffian and a coward. , "These are the plain, unvarnished facts. On Wednesday evening I went to the Union Depot to meet my partner. who was returning from the East. 1 waited outside of the large exit gate until the train arrived, . and the gate was thrown open. I saw my friend ap proaching and I stepped through the gate to greet him. At that Instant this officer caught me roughly Dy tne snout- der and, shouting some Incoherent words, swung me back tnrougn . tne gate. I remonstrated with him for placing his hands upon me and told mm he was unfit for his position and drew a piece of paper from my pocket and put his number down upon it. This seemed to enrage him. He said, 'You take my number. Well, I guess I shall take you to the Captain,' and he caught hold of me again, compressing the flesh of my arm so that It is still dla colored at this writing. This treatment naturally excited me. and I insisted upon his carrying out his threat and making his charge against me. as I desired to have the matter publicly aired In the court The next- morning I proceeded to the court to carry out my Intention, nut tne uniei oi route called me and would not -permit me to go upstairs, saying that the matter was dismissed and also some other things which determined me to 'acquiesce in his views. "I shall be satisfied to endure the in dignity, if it will' awaken, the proper officials to the necessity of placing men of ordinary common sense and some faint conception of the courtesy due to all classes, In places where tney come in contact with the "public. In a few days we shall have nffiny thousand vis itors coming Into and going through the Union Depot. The authorities should see that they are not placed in the pow er of burly. Ignorant and Incompetent officers, such as Officer No. 97. "I shall not go further Into the ques tion as to my right and everybody's right to pass through that gate when it-is open. It was not the ticket gate, but the big 15-foot gate through the archway to the street. There Is no law or ordinance to prevent this. However, the offlper had been told to keep peo ple out and he was right in obeying his orders, but he should have done so with some regard to decency. If this incident tends toward producing In the minds of such officers some sense of their duty to the public I shall not re gret It. We have too many excellent men on the force to permit such men aa No. 97 to disgrace them. "D. SOLIS COHEN." Grants Pass Man Fights Case. GRANTS PASS, Or.. June 18. (Spe cial.) G. D.

Taking of testimony in the trial of Jack Roberts, accused of the murder of Donald M. Stewart and George Hastings, was concluded in Judge Mor row's department of the Circuit Court yesterday. The trial was continued till 9 o'clock Monday morning, when the attorneys will commence argument. Indications' are that the case will not reach the Jury till Tuesday afternoon. The last witness called yesterday wa Dr. A. E. Tamiesle. assistant superin tendent of the" Oregon State Asylum for the Insane, who gave it as his opinion that the defendant Is' not insane. His direct examination was brief, and he was asked correspondingly few ques tions by the attorneys for the defense. The greater part of yesterday s ses slon was taken up with the cross-ex amination by Attorney McAllister or Dr. W. T. Williamson, the star witness for the state on the insanity Issue. Mr. McAllister asked question after question based upon the opinions of the acknowledged authorities on in sanity as expressed in their written works. The attorney contends that llr. Williamson made conflicting statements which can be used to good advantage In argument. "You were one of the alienists ror the state and Dr. Brown for the de fense in the famous Cheater Thomp son murder trial In Seattle, were you not?" Attorney McAllister asked Dr, Williamson, and the answer was in tne affirmative. "In that case you testified that the defendant was not insane ana it. Brown here testified directly opposite. Is that not a fact?" Dr. Williamson admitted that it was, and be wad then asked if he knew that Thomoson's insanity has developed De vonrt anv doubt and Just as Dr. Brown said it would. The physician said that he had heard statements to that etiecu The significance of this line ot ques tioning lies In the fact that Dr. Brown has testified for the defense that Roberts is insane, subject to Irresist ible Impulses, and at times does not know the difference between right and wrong. Dr. Brown declares tnat oo erts' mental condition will become worse as age advances. . PRAYERS ARE SAID IN JAIL Thursday Night Set Aside for Re ligious Services.

AUTOMATIC TELE PHONES IN ENGLAND Automatic Call Com pleted in 9 Seconds ALMOND'S HOTEL. LONDON". London. England, May 20th. 1911. Dear Hill The enclosed clipping la self-explanatory, and, no doubt, will be of interest to you and give some meas ure of gratification. In another paper I notice the Government is starting in to Install the Automatic, presumably account of secrecy and dispatch. In this small hotel, which I am told Is of the "swagger" variety, when I use the telephone (a process Involving about ten minutes before getting Into conversation) and hang up the receiver, the bell rings constantly and the cen tral operator says: "Are you there?" When I have convinced her that I ara there in the flesh, she asks me to dis connect. I then take the lift and go to the office and arrange with the pro prietor to disconnect. There will be. only one danger In the Automatic in 'London, which is that many people will die of heart disease when they first use It. (Signed) a. B.

The new automatic telephone ex change at Epsom the first ot its kind to be tested in this country was put Into practical operation on Saturdsy afternoon. Experiments carried out by a Dally Mail representative showed that the new method of working is appre ciably quicker than the old. To transfer themselves from the csll system to the automatic, all that sub scribers had to do was to move over & small switch near their Instruments. Each instrument has a circular dial fit ted at its base, with the numbers 1 to 9 and 0 round it. Raised a little above the dial is a movable disc with circular apertures round it corresponding to the numbers below. When obtaining a number, say S41. the subscriber first removes the re ceiver. Then he places a forefinger in the aperture in the disc above 6, and rotates the disc from left to right until his finner comes in contact with a small metal projection, or trigger. raised above the surface of the disc. When It reaches this point the diso is released and automatically moves back to Its former position. The prooees Is repeated with the other numbers. If engaged, the familiar "buzz" is heard.

MOTHERHOOD SUGGESTIONS Advice to Expectant Mothers The experience of Motherhood is a try ing one to most women and marks dis tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one woman in a hundred is prepared or un derstands how to properly care for her self. Of course nearly every woman nowadays has medical treatment at such times, but many approach the experience with an organism unfitted for the trial of strength, and when it is over her system has received a shock from which it is hard to recover. Fol lowing right upon this comes the ner vous strain of caring for the child, and a distinct change id the mother results. - There is nothing more charming than a happy and healthy mother of children, and indeed child-birth under the right conditions need be no hazard to health or beauty. The unexplainable thing is that, with all the evidence of shattered nerves and broken health resulting from an un prepared condition, and with ample time in which to prepare,'women will persist in going blindly to the trial. Every woman at this time should rely upon LydiaE-Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound, a most valuable tonic and invig orator of the female organism. In many homes once childless there are now children be cause of the fact that Lydia E. Pink- ham's Vegetable Compound makes women normal, healthy and strong.
