THE NEW TRAIN SCHEDULE
After mature deliberation and evi
dently careful weighing of re.ulM, the
tbo Nouthorn Pacific has put into ef
fect its lung proiniftt d change in pawne
ger schedules fur the benefit of South
ern Oregon.
The eh an go i.i n hiuiple one, nnd in
tended for that uuniermin cIuhh of trav
cleri who make a business of stuying up
until the KDiall bourn to eutch trains.
Juatrud of leaving Portland nt mid
night, tho trnin will hereafter U
1:30 a. m.
This train is especially designed to
convenience the ftoguo Ttiver valley res
ii.euU, and is onn of the uiauy marks
of special favor shown for this region
by Mr. Ilarrimuu. Hy staying tip most
the night in Portland, we can now nr
rive in our home towns just as the day
business is being wound up.
i no iilauictte vnlly people nre
Kii'Kf-rs. i liny stir up n row over poor
service, so two traius a dnv extra are
given tli em. A (rain leaves Portland
at 8:1,1 a. m. that goes as far as It use
burg. Another leuves at 4:15
which takes you to I'ottagc drove. Hut
if you want to go further south where
they are friondly to tho railroad, you
must take tho 7:45 p. in. or the new
3:. 'tO a. in.
Think how California bound tourists
from other states are accommodated by
the new train. They arrive on the
Overland express on the Northern Pa
cific at 8:3.3 p. ra. Tho wait is onlv
five hours. They arrive on the O. R
k N. at 8:."5, only four hours and 40
minutes, nnd from the l.'unndiau Pa
eifie nt 8:15, only five hours and 1
minutes1 wait.
Tho truth of tho matter is that the
changed schedule in mndn simply to hen
eflt the Portland Oregon tun, which has
all of its long hintorv, been a railroad
organ. The railroad eauuot show a sin
gle other person or agency benefited
and has absolutely no excuse for making
the change. The people of an entire
stntft and the traveling public of many
siuics urn inconvenienced that one
newspaper may increase its sales. No
wonder railroad commiftsiuiis are
needed.
When the Hnutheru Pacific first
pulled its daylight trains off last fait
the Oregouian waxed exceedingly
Wruthy bccauKo of "the iajustico to
the people of .Southern Oregon," but
really beeaune its own mail schedules
were interrupted. This part of the
state wns then left with two trains
day from Portland. Now it ha for
practical purposes only one.
Will the Orcgoninn protest? Hardly
Medford lias, to a certain extent,
brought this shameful treatment by the
ruilrnnd upon itself. When the state
railroad commission sought to force the
railroad lo re-establish a decent serv
ice, Medford refused to cooperate. Its
business men testified they were
pleased with poor service. The Com
mercial i tub went no far as to patta
resolutions praising the railroad for
taking off trains, and censuring the
commission for interfering!
Seeing thai we had no spirit and en
joyed poor service, the railroad is pro
ceediug to rub it iu. This paper sug
gests tint the railroad employes, sym
pathizers and sycophants who packed
the flmmercial club and put through
the former resolution and then went up
to Portland to testify in behalf of the
railroad, puss another resolution humbly
thanking tho Houthern Pacific for leav
ing us on the map.
LONO ESTABLISHED SCHOOL
FOR CHILD CEOOKB EXPOSED
PITTSBt'BO, May 11 Enraged be
cause she found that she bad been in
structing her own 15 year-old son, whom
she had not seen fur year, to pick
pockets and be an all-round juvenile
crook, Blanche Anderson, alias Miller,
turned state's evidence and on the wit
ness stand told a storv that sent her
former working partner, Johu Auderson,
to the workhouse for GO days' rest so
that the police can get a better hold on
bim.
The woman told how Anderson and
others, assisted bv herself, had conduct
ed a school for child crooks on the north
side for years, and she testified that
not l-n than 5U0 child criminals bad
been turned out in this time. She dc
scrihpd the method of training iu detail.
"A child could be turned into a first
class pickpocket in four weeks if he
were wise, she said.
Anderson wns given a hearing, and
the woman was the leading witness
against him. She declared that the po
lice of Allegheny bad known of th
whole affair and intimated that some
high-up bad profited from the proceed:
of the child crooks. She said that An
demon, who was chief Instructor of the
child school, had always from 15 to 0
apprentices whom he was teaching to
pick pocket, and do all manner of
rooked work. In describing the pro
eedings the woman said:
'I was one of the actors In the
thieves' class which Anderson conduct
d at I,ayeoek and Anderson streets. My
work was to dress up und ape the move
meats of a woman shopping, swinging
small bag nt my side. Anderson
would show the children how to slip up
nnd take the contents of my bag with
out attracting attention, and it was up
to me to tell wbeher or no they jarred
me in he least.
I have paraded all dnv long while
20 boys picked my pocket in turn, and
then would go out on the street followed
by the boys, who in turn would slip up
to me in a crowd nnd pick my pocket
or open my purse, so as to eliminate
their nervousness. The end came when
I found that one of the real bright little
pickpockets was my own son by n for
mer marriage, whom I thought safe at
homo with a sister in the east end. J
then resolved lo quit, which I have
done.
spicuous place, and on this badge will
be printed the number of the holder,
corresponding to tbo license number !
held by the city.
In the past much trouble has been ex
perienced by the police of the city in j
securing possession of stolen goods :
which have been sold or pawned, as i
pawnbrokers nod secund hand dealer
often keep their purchases a secret,
and tu this manner become au accom
plice of I lie thief if tho articles have
been stolen. It is believed by the an
thnritics if the ordinance is rigidly en
forced the police will have litle diffi
culty in tracing stolen articles which
have been pawned bv thieves and burg
lars. The ordinance will go into effect
as soon us the mayor sigus it, which it
is said he will do.
