MAY FIGHT THE LAW I
THEATRICAL MANAGERS MAY
MAKE A TEST CASE.
They Believe Certain Provisions of
the Child-Labor Act Are
Unconstitutional.
Developments took place yesterday
showing that the members of the State
Child Labor Commission will not set
everything their own way in their en
deavor to enforce the law regulating
the employment of children under 16 years
of age. In theaters. They may run
against a snag in the Managers' Mutual
Aid Association, the members of -which
will wait for a test case and then fight
the question in the courts to prove that
the child labor law is unconstitutional in
eo far as may apply to children appearing
for a few minutes on a theater stage in
the evening.
If it can be proved that under the pro
pulsions of the child labor law," children
under 16 jears old cannot be employed in
a theater, various shows now bound for
Portland, among them the Pollard Opera
Company, will ha e to be cancelled. Man
agers of theaters say that such procedure
"will seriously Interfere with their busi
ness, and point out that the child labor
laws of New York and California are in
the dead letter department, so far as the
regulation of theatrical children is con
cerned. It is argued that the Legisla
ture neer intended, when passing the
child labor law, to Interfere with .children
appearing on tho stage of any reputable
theater. This is where tho State Child
Xabor Commission steps in and says that
the law certainly can and will prohibit
the employment of such children. The
courts will have to settle the fine legal
points.
"Are the Pollards subject to our state
labor law?" was asked of Manager George
I Baker last night. "I am not at present
prepared to say," he replied. "The Pol
lards are an Australian organization and
may be governed by International law
or treaty rights. They are well fed,
clothed and educated. At the same time
they are cared for by guardians. They
are better cared for than many children
in Portland whoso parents allow the
little ones to roam the streets. If the
law is carried out to the strict letter,
church entertainments which are given by
children will have to be stopped. I believe,
however, that tho commission Is right in
keeping children out of low concert halls
and variety theaters, but in taking action
against respectable houses, judgment
aught to be exercised. At the same time
I wish to obey tho law to the letter. But
"Why does not the commission do some
thing practical by stopping the practice
of bojs lying In a cold hallway all night,
in order to buy seats for big attractions?"
"I have received no notification from
any source regarding the new law," said
, Manager Russell, of Cordray's Theater.
"But, of course, if I am notified I will
obey the law until it is declared void.
I do not consider it a constitutional law
and am sure It cannot be enforced re
garding foreigners, as many of them
come to this country under treaty rights,'
the laws of the United States permitting
a special contract to be made with actors,
artists and others appearing upon the
stage. Now the local law would be In
direct conflict with these laws and could
not be enforced."
"What effect do you think stage life
ihas on children?"
"During the past 30 years I have had
tinder my personal management over
100 children. Many of them are now
grown men and women and among them
are somo of the brightest lights of the
dramatic firmament. Mrs. Fiske was
with her father's company playing child's
parts when I first entered the profession.
Effle Eilsler was another, and Lotta
Crabtree was a very young girl and ap
peared in 'Uncle Tom's Cabin,' playing
chlld'.s part. Corlnne played under my
management "when she -was just 7
years old. Minnie Tittell Brune was an
other child protege of mine. The Knabe
TCapelles when brought here frpm Europe
were all boys under 16 rears of age.
Maud Adams -was a mere Infant -when
Ehe made her first appearance on the
tage.
"Among these names mentioned there
Is not one -who is not only an ornament
to the stage, but to private life as -well.
These are only a few, but In all my ex
perience I have never seen a -woman who
was brought up on the stage from child
hood but has been a good -woman and
nn ornament to society, her associates
and her surroundings..
"There is a mistaken idea that the edu
cation of children who are on the stage
s neglected. Companies where children
ire employed to any extent employ a
iutor for them, as well as one or more
inatrons to lodk after the welfare of the
children, and I have never known of any
Snanager who did not take special pride
In tho care of the children of his com
pany. These children are never required
to play more than two hours at a per
formance and Tor only a small portion
of that time. They sleep later In the
morning and their health Is not Jeopard
ized as much fis that of children who livo
an ordinary life and attend school regu
larly." WAKSHEP MAY tfRING TREATY
President Is Anxious for Quick Re
turn of Panama Measure.
"WASHINGTON, Dec 3. Secretary Hay
had. a talk with the President today about
be developments on the Isthmus of Pana
ma, Secretary Moody dropped In while
the subject was under consideration. As a
result of the conference, It Is possible that
one of tho United States warships now at
Colon will be used to bring the Panama
canal treaty, ratified yesterday at Pana
ma, to the United States.
The authorities here have decided that
It was proper to facilitate in every way
the conclusion of the treaty, and. Influ
enced in 6ome measure by tho urglngs of
the Panama representatives here, cabled
instructions to United States Consul-Gen-eral
Gudger to assist in all proper wajs
in the dispatch of the treaty on its return
to Washington. This is tho explanation
of the Consul-General's conduct in confid
ing the treaty to Rear-Admiral Walker
for conveyance across tha Isthmus from
Panama to Colon. Tho treaty should
reach Washington in the ordinary course
about December 15.
ARCHBISHOP LOUDLY PROTESTS
Action of America Held Unjust, but
Her Subjects Won't Suffer.
NEW YORK, Dec. 3. Archbishop Her
rera has mads a reply, says a Herald dis
patch from Bogota, to a communication
from Cardinal Gibbons, of Baltimore, in
which ho contrasts the American of today
with Mr. BIdlock, the American Minister
who negotiated the treaty with New
Granada. The archbishop, in his note,
protests against the conduct of the Wash
ington Government toward a weak repub
lic He states that Colombia has no In
tention to submit, but adds that, "no mat
ter what may happen, the nobleness of
heart and the Christian duties of all Co
lombians will be sufficient guarantee for
the safety of all Americans."
REYES CONFERS WITH HAY.

WASHINGTON, Dec 3. In accordance
with an appointment made yesterday. Dr.
Herran. the Colombian Charge, and Gen
eral Reyes, Colombia's special represent
ative, took luncheon with Secretary Hay

POPULAB BATLBOAD OFFICIAL TO SEVER HIS CONNECTION' WITH
GREAT NORTHERN.
A. B. C. Dennlston, general "Western pascnger agent of the Great Northern, has
tendered his resignation, to take effect the first of the new year. Mr. Dennlston
was in the city yesterday, and made the announcement before leaving for Seattle
last night. He will become a member of the firm of Dennlston, Ottlnger &. Co.,
In the ticket brokerage business at Seattle, and, it la said, will be succeeded In
his present position by S. G. Terkes, of the Seattle offices. Mr. Dennlston is well
known In Portland, where he was general agent for the Great Northern for about
fite years and until two years ago, when he was unpointed to succeed Richard,
Stevens as general Western passenger agent, at the time of the tatter's death.
He la about 45 years of age, and has had upward of 20 years' railroad experience.
Mr. Dennlston Is very popular throughout the Northwest, and his retirement
from the Eenlco of the Great Northern will be generally regretted. No other rea
son Is given for his resignation except his determination to engage In private busi
ness, and his relations -with other Great Northern officials are understood to be the
pleasantest. His resignation was wholly unexpected, however, and. will occasion
general surprise.
e
a. great deal of interest to General Reyes'
statement of the position of the Colom
bian government. General Reyes and Dr.
Herran talked with Secretary Hay as to
the methods of procedure General Reyes
shall follow In performing the duties of
the mission which has brought him and
his fellow commissioners to Washington.
Only the general lines of the representa
tions they are to make to the State De
partment have been decided. They are
still awaiting special and explicit instruc
tions from Bogota as to the specific re
quests to be made on this Government
before reaching a decision regarding the
course of procedure.
General Reyes comes to Washington as
an envoy extraordinary and minister
plenipotentiary on a special mission, with
full diplomatic standing. Arrangements
will be made soon for his presentation
to President Roosevelt in that capacity, i
aim nuiui niiuusvci ucuuauuiui uu) ue
subsequently conducted will be through
tho State Department.
SIGNIFICANT ORDER BY NAVY.
Evans' Fleet Will Not Be Used in
Forcing Policy at Panama.
WASHINGTON, Dec 3. Secretary
Moody hag received a cablegram from
Rear Admiral Evans, commanding the
Asiatic station, saying the New Orleans,
Albany, Cincinnati, Raleigh and Pom
pell sailed from Yokahama today for
Honolulu, and that the battleship squad
ron will follow In a day or two. It was
expected that the entire fleet would have
started on the practice cruise on Decem
ber 1, and the delay in getting off is
attributed at the Navy Department to
tho difficulty of coaling, probably due to
the prevalence of a storm.
In a cablegram to Admiral Evans to
day, he was directed to return with his
fleet to Yokohama as soon as Honolulu
has been visited. It was explained at
the Bureau of Navigation that this is
in accordance with the original pro
gramme, although"Admiral Evans had
not, up to today, been given orders con
cerning his fleet after it reached Hono
lulu. Desiring to make the best disposition
of his colliers, Admiral Evans wired for
orders, with the result that the cable
gram referred to was sent. This order
is construed as an indication that the
Navy Department has no purpose of
using the vessels of tho Asiatic fleet to
forcing its policy for the construction
of the Panama canal.
Reason for the Note.
BALTIMORE, Dec 3. Cardinal Gibbons
recently sent a cablegram to Archbishop
Herrera at Bogota requesting that he use
his Influence in obtaining protection for
three Americans residing within his dio
cese, for whose safety friends in this
country felt alarmed. The cardinal is un
able to recall their names. This request
Is supposed to have called forth the noto
from Archbishop Herrera,
ARBITRATION BOARD MEETS.
San Dominican Claims Are Consid
ered by a. Mixed Commission.
WASHINGTON, Dec S. The Dominican
Arbitration Commission held Its first meet
ing today, in the hearing-room of the In
terstate Commerce Commission. Those
present were: George Gray, ex-Secretary
of the Treasury Carlisle, arbitrator for
the United States; Senor Galvan, and John
Hassett Moore, agent for tho United States
and attorney for the commission. It is
estimated that the claims Involve an ag
gregate of $4.o00,O00. The commission's ses
sion was brief. It was explained that the
object of the meeting was to arrange tho
terms of the payment of the claims, tho
decision to pay them, it is stated, having
been provided for in a protocol signed by
representatives of the respective interests.
The committee adjourned subject to the
call of the chairman.
The State Department will support Min
ister Powell in his refusal to ield to the
Dominican provisional government's de
mand that the personnel of the arbl
tratory be changed so as to eliminate
Senor Galvan.
Senor Galvan, who was Secretary of
Finance under tho Wos y Gil administra
tion, was named as the Dominican rep
resentative in the arbitration, and the
United States and Santo Domingo united
in the selection of George Gray as the
umpire.
The State Department has been Informed
that already a new revolutionary move
ment has been begun In Santo Domingo,
even before the provisional government
that ousted Wos y Gil has been able to
solidify itself Into a permanent govern
ment. The repeated uprisings in the face
of Minister Powell's warnings has con
centrated the attention of the Washing
ton authorities upon the islands, where
much American capital is invested, and
there may be a renewal in a more forci
ble manner of Minister Powell's declara
tion that the peace of the United States
is not to be troubled in this fashion.

PE0M0TEE EN0WN HEBE.
Frank C. Helm Is Now Under Arrest
In New York.
The dispatches announce that Frank
C. Helm, a well-known Alaskan promo
ter, who was in Portland about ten days
ago in the Interests of a proposed rail
road from Valdes Into, tho interior of
Alaska, was arrested upon his arrival
in New York on Wednesday, charged
with defrauding State Senator John
Xaughlin, of Buffalo, N. Y., out of $1000.
Laughlln alleges that Helm sold him
that amount of stock in the Alaskan
properties which he had no connection
with and that he has been swindled by
the "Empire builder" from Valdes.
Helm has been engaged In exploiting
Alaskan projects for a number of years
and has had a varied and picturesque
career on tho Coast. He maintains an
offlco In New York, but claims Valdes
as his home.
