A bill providing for the creation of a
state board of charities and correction,
which shall have general supervision
over and stand in relation of a coun

A committee composed of representa
tives of the Oregon State Conference of
Charities and Correction and of the Pris
oners' Aid Society is at work on the draft
ing of a number of bills which will be
presented to the next session of the
legislature for enactment.
This committee consists of Judge A. F.
Seers, of the Circuit Court; Judge H. W.
Hogue, of the Municipal Court; J. D. Lee,
ex-superintendent of the penitentiary;
Senator C. J. Smith, of Umatilla County,
and Mrs. B. H.' Trumbull and Dr. Stephen
S. Wise, Commissioners of Child Labor.
The committee has been at work for some
time and has at last decided upon a set
of bills which will be drawn up and sub
mitted to the Legislature, all of which
will be in the nature of reform and cal
culated to Improve the present state of
society and to diminish the common
abuses of today.
Bill for Wife-Deserters.
Perhaps the most notable. If not unique,
bill which is under consideration is one
which will provide punishment for wife
desertion and make the offense penal and
extraditable.
This measure Is being prepared at the
suggestion of the National Conference of
Charities and Correction, which will meet
In .Portland In July, 1905. It Is a. meas
ure mat Has been adopted In several
states with good effect. Dr. Wise ex
plained the position of the committee on
the subject last evening.
"A man can desert his wife at the pres
ent time, ho said, "and can leave the
C n T ' ZX " . 1 u"OL
be reached and there Is no way to compel
him to come back and do his duty. It Is
aesired therefore to make the offense ex
traoutable and punishable by Imprison
ment.
To Create Juvenile Court.
The x measure proposed, however, which
wouia in ail probability be the most far-
reaching and beneficial In effect is that
proviamg for the creation of the Juvenile
ourt. u.ne work of the tribunal insti
tuted and presided over by Judge Ben B,

court and should he be arrested for and

Berve not only the first sentence, but
both. The law would do away with
the Idea of a fixed term .of Imprison
ment Irrespective of reform. On the
other hand the release would not be un
conditional and would be Tinder gmard,
but would give tho man a chance to ro
form and an incentive so to do.
To Create. Board of Charities.
xne creation or a state hoard of
charities will be asked for, which board
will have supervision over and stand
in the relation ot a councillor to the
public charities of, the state, as 13 the
case in nearly every state of the Union.
An attempt will be made to set the
Legislature to make some provision for
the training: und instruction of the fee
bleminded and idiotic charges of th
state. Under the system practiced In
Oregon no provision is made for th
instruction of such unfortunates. Tlity
are bunched "together with every class
of insane. In other states it has been
demonstrated that the feebleminded
can be taught the simpler crafts nnd
made of some use to the world, and it
is the wish of the committee to accom
plish this end here. The preliminary
drafts for these measures are now be
ing completed and the finished docu
ments will bo ready for submission by.

POWEBFULAPPEAL
Judge McGinn Makes Strong.
Talk Before Jury.
HE SCORES THE GAMBLERS
Urges Convictions In Case of Nathan
Solomon, While Judge, Jury and
Spectators Are Held Spell
bound by His Appeal.
The trial In Judge Cleland's Court yes
terday of Nathan Solomon, on a charge
of conducting a roulette game on the
evening of July 21 last, will become fam
ous In Oregon juristical annals. Not be
cause the case itself was of such over
shadowing importance, although It vital
ly affected many people, but because it
supplied the occasion for one of the finest
addresses ever delivered In a courtroom
in this state.
After the testimonv in thft matter of thn
State of Oregon vs. Nathan Solomon was
ail in, and the facts had all been elldt-
ed, according to the lights of the opposing
parties, Henry McGinn strode up to the
rail of the jury-box and commenced his
impassioned appeal for the conviction of
tne derendant on the chargo alleged
against him.
Spoke for an Hour.
For almost an hour afterward he held
court. Jury and the spectators bound to
the cause which he was pleading. The
Intensity of feeling, the splendor of his
rhetoric and, with all these, his logical
presentation of his case marked the
speech as a wonderful jury effort.
Judge McGinn harked back to the en
shrouding darkness of primeval human
ity when men dwelt, in caves and wrested
their livelihood from the fresh, vounsr
world By the sheer strength of arm and
thigh. He spoke of the stage In the evo
lution when one man made' better arrows
than, the others, and became the arrow-
maker; when another built better huts
than the other and became known as the
builder, and when the mightiest man
among them became King.
J.n this way he showed how men took
upon themselves vocations and callmtrs.
and ultimately professions. He then re
ferred to another man who wrought noth
ing ror himself, but who lived and thrived
beexuse he profited by the efforts of the
others, but brought nothing to them in
return. This parasite he termed the
gambler, and from this base he nroceed-
ed to volco one of the most forcible and
merciless arraignments against gambling
and gamblers, against the parasites of so
ciety in general as has seldom been made.
Speech Was Powerful Effort.
He cited Hamlet on the falsity of dicers'
oaths and drew the obvious comparison
by recalling the testimony of the state's
witnesses and those of the defense. He
declared that when Shakespeare, the
greatest master of any language, sought
the strongest simile for falsity he made
the Dane to say, "false as dicers' oaths."

played In the Portland Club on the night
of July 2L The owners of the property
occupied by the club were also presented
to testify that the rentals for the premises
had been paid, according to custom, by
Peter Grant and his associates after the
sale which Grant and Solomon claim to
have made of the property on June 23.
The testimony given by Mr. Solomon In
the Robertson case last spring was also
introduced to prove that he was one of
the owners; that a gambling house was
conducted; that 100 men were employed;
that the dally expenses were 5400, and that
the safe In the office frequently held as
high as 515.000.
The defense relied largely on tho hill of
sale which they offered In support of their
allegations that Peter Grant, Nathan Sol
omon and the other partners sold their In
terests In the club to Edwin Richardson,
a faro-dealer formerly employed by them.
and that the sale was made a month prior
to the date of the offense charged.

be made and the case submitted to the
jury. A verdict Is expected this after

PInglet's First Cigar,
One of the cleverest bits of acting in
Mr. Pinglet, the character assumed bv
"William Bernard in "The Gay Parisians,"
is tne scene witn airs, laniard s bonnet.
He has taken her to the Mascotte cafe
for a lata supper. He Is not used to
suppers, cocktails and cigars and is suf
fering tortures from the effects of smok
ing. To obtain relief he first removes his
coat and later goes out on the fire escape
for fresh air, unconsciously donning the
woman's millinery creation as he departs.
"When he returns, he Is without the hat.
but its absence is not detected, in the fast
and furious developments, until the couple
are ready to go home. The lmnression
Is left that he has allowed the headgear
to arop over tne railing of the fire cscaoe
and it is" an imaginative picture that will
appeal 6trongly to every man who re-
memDers tne utter disregard of everything
which seised him at the time ha smoked
his first cigar..
The Gay Parisians" is- a ratUihe-
French comedy and Is making bhr crowds
of the Columbia Theater's patrons scream
wiur aeugnt.
The comedy work of Miss Countlss snd
jut. J3aume is particularly strong all
through the play, being a new departure
in their work" here.

"Finnlgan's Ball." at Cordrav's thLi
weeK, is the most entertaining musical
coiMdjr of the. 96ucn There ori
laughs, more catchy songs, moije pretty
girls and clever comedians than have
been presented on the local stage in many
months. Gallagher & Barrett, two of the
best all-round Irish comedians, head the
big organization, which also Includes such
well-known favorites as llayme Taylor
ana J? annie Trumouii. in addition to thes
there are several other people in the cast
who have won their laurels in the best j
attractions which travel, and a chorus
which, for good looks and ability cannot
be beaten, ice. scenery and costumes
represent the expenditure of a fortune
and the production as a whole- belongs

COMING ATTRACTIONS.
"Led Astray" Next Week.
The works of Dion Bouclcault, the great
aramaust, are as varied as they are num
erous, ana none of them Is more striking
as a comedy than "Led Astray," In. which
the Columbia Theater Stock Company will
appear next week, beginning with Sun-
aays matinee.
While comedy is the prevailing element
or tne plot, at tne same time a powerful
love story is developed, as in "The Jilt"
and other plays of the famous writer.
"Led Astray" was originally produced In
1S73 and it has weathered the gale of years
as few comedies have done. Stuart Rob
son. Kate Clazton, Charles Thome, Eliza
veamcroy ana otner celebrated players
of that day were In the original cast.
Mr. Baume and Miss Countlss are cast
ior tne lovera and the other principal
roles afford abundant opportunities for
.air. Howies, Mr. Bernard, Mr. Bloomquest,
MtS9 Brandt and the other favorites.
The company has demonstrated conclu
sively that light comedy Is It3 forte and
"Led Astray" will doubtless prove one
oi uio very best vehicles of its history.

possible to keep the terminal grounds as
quiet as the yards in "Wpodburn or Salem.
"I recollect when, some years ago the
old ferry-boat used to be complained of
because It blew Its whistle too loud and
too early In the morning and disturbed
people's slumbers, and this sort of thing
has been growing worse ever since."
"The next thing I am to complain of."
said the chairman, "Is the reckless and
rapid rate at which trainsj, both freight
and passenger, are run through the lum
ber yards at the North End. endanger
ing life and property, and making it dif
ficult for teams to be operated In the
yards. "Why, it is nothing uncommon
c "tuu ui vj ireigni-cars go
through these yards at a rate of 40 miles
an hour. No such speed is orovlded for
or tcmDlated under the rules
and
regulations of the company, and all that
Is asked Is that you will try and reduce
tne speea or such trains to some reason
able rate, approaching the 15 miles pre
scribed, so as to Insure the safety of
the men and teams employed by the
lumber companies."
"I am afraid," said Manager Lyons,
"that there is some justice in this com
plaint. I have been endeavorintr for
time to get this matter adjusted, and I
have bettered things somewhat and can
assure you that I shall not close my
efforts until I have affected arrange
ments which will give your committee
no further cause for complaint."
