CHAPMAN SCHOOL AROUSED Appeal Made Against the Inmates of the Low Barroom Near the School and the World's Fair Grounds. BY A. A. G. Pupils and lady teachers of the Chap man School are being insulted every day by the toughs that are being harbored in the low saloons that have been estab lished at the entrance to the World's Fair grounds. Chapman School adjoins the entrance, and in going to or coming from school the scholars and teachers must pass by these saloons in all directions. Professor W. F. Conover, principal of the school, has had ample opportunity for finding tut conditions, and he says that instances of the grossest character have been brought under his notice of women teachers and girl pupils being in sulted by the toughs -who congregate in and about the dives. Yesterday a drunken woman made, a spectacle of herself in front of a rooming-house known as "The Forestry Inn," and repeated complaints have been made to. him by his staff of teachers that they have been insulted by the loafers who throng the Exposition entrance saloons. Professor Conover has laid the matter be fore the Board of Education and hopes to see something done toward reforming matters. The Chapman School pupils range from very small children to boys and girls well along In their teens, and in going to school they must pass the en trances of some of the worst saloons in the city. One in praticular is but four ffet outside the prescribed limit, and its influence Is almost as evil as jf it were 'actually upon the school grounds. The Chapman School teaching force represents that the situation Is becoming desperate, and is determined to ascertain if some thing cannot be done. Press dispatches announce that Carrie Nation Is now sojourning in Oklahoma, and from this jt appears that the pictur esque crusader Is immolating herself to no purpose. The average of Portland cit izenship is law-abiding and opposed to anarchy of the Nation type. This on gen eral principles. But if Carrie Nation should waft into this town some busy day and touch up the hell's vestibule that has bt'en set up at the entrance to the Fair grounds, most of us would be willing to strain a point. If she smashed up some of the doggeries out there nobody but the divekeepcrs themselves and their low browed friends and hangers-on would care much. There are saloons out there where all the city's guests must pass in seeing the Exposition which would bring additional ill-Jrepute to the North End. The keepers of these disreputable places have apparently raked the slums with a -fine tooth comb in order to secure thug bartenders and plug-ugly retainers, Jlore than this, they, offer happy homes to all thp male and female harpies and crooks who choose to come here for the honor and glory of Ixswis and Clark. Condi tions at the Fair grounds entrance arc an outrage to the majority, better cle ment, and a disgrace to the city and the Exposition management. Conditions un der which they, exist arc becoming intol erable, and it is time some steps were f taken to clean out the dirty quarter. Not reven a frontier mining camp could permit such a state of affairs with any degree of self-respect. It sems fair to inquire if Portland is going to stand It much longer. It is time something was done. Aud that some thing at once. Illght now. Mrs. I. Frohman Tells of Cherry Blossom Festival Mrs. I. Frohman, who Is traveling In China and Japan, writes most enthusias tically of her impressions of the Flowery Kingdom, which she was fortunate enough to visit during the famous "Cherry Blos som seaeon." In company with Mr. and Mrs. .Bobbins, of Saucelito, and Winfleld Scott Schley, Jr., and wife, all points of interest in the Kingdom were visited, and her description of the "Mikado Odori" or Cherry Dance sounds strangely unlike the dally accounts of war we have In our home papers. Writing from Tokio, she. says concerning the war; "There i very little here to remind one of the bloody war which is being waged between this wonderful country and Rus sia. As we entered Yokohama we caught sight or some Russian soldiers who were being taken to Osaka as prisoners, and on our first day in Japan we attended the funeral services of 2t soldiers. Their bodies had been left on the battlefield, but were represented at the funeral by pho tographs and suits of clothes which they had worn at home. The latter were hung high In the air. so that all might view them, and cakes to feed their departing spirits and other ceremonials were pro vided. The most realistic reminder of war, however, is at the many temples here in Tokio, where the whole world seems to bo praying at innumerable al tars. Into large receptacles provided for the purpose thousands of yen arc thrown by those who go there to pray for the sol diers. Another reminder which I might mention to prospective travelers is the war tax. One pays it on everything even a rldo on the streetcar. The other day I needed some ordinary pine and had to buy them by the dozen instead of the paper, and pay a war tax on them at that. "The impression one gets of Tokio is that an Immense fair is going on. There scm to be millions cf people crowding the streets and everything is on the move. Neno Park, famed for Its temples and the tombs of the Shoguns, is the most popular resort in the metropolis. All Tokio assombles there during this beau tiful season of .the cherry blossoms, and the air is deliciously fragrant with theso dainty bloom's. One of the prettiest bits of Tokio, however, is the moat which surrounds" tho Imperial Pal ace. It is full of Iris and beautiful wild flowers which flutter on the surface of the water, making the effect that of a gorgeous floral frame. Tho palace is In accessible to -visitors during war times. ""At Kobe I found several things to remind me of home. One was real Ameri can milk chocolate, and another was a large consignment of peanuts which one shippers was preparing1 for Herman Wit renberg. Portland, Or., U. S. A. Hundreds of women were sitting on the floor, pick' 1ng out the good from the bad, for which they received five cents a day wages. At Nagasaki we were distressed to see worn en coaling the ship, working with their babies strapped to their backs; but they seemed to think nothing of It in fact looked happy and content.

Pro tests wore of no avail, but I soon found I had three charming ladies as compan ions. They were the wife and daughters of Marui. the wealthiest cigarette manu facturer of Tokio, who has lately sold his interests to the government for 10.000.009 yen. so that he might add It to the war fund. We became excellent friends, and on our arrival at Kyoto they made me their guet and took me to the famous cherry dance there. One member of the family is a graduate of Yale, so his ex cellent English made the explanations of the ceremonials simple. The cherry blos som season lasts from April 1 to about the 20th, and every evening it is cele brated by performances by the Geisha .girls. "Upon entering the building where the performance takes place, we arc ushered into a room about 15x20 feet. The floor Is covered by padded matting. We are seated around the edge of the room and in front of small tables. This apartment is called Chaslki. or room of tea cere monial. The Geisha girls, In gorgeous raiment, march in in single fuo and plac before each guest a small plate, on whichv is a piece of frosted cake; they then make a very low how and retire, and quickly return with a cup of very odd-tasting tea. Every visitor is supposed to carry away his plate and cake as a souvenir. After the ceremony is over, we arc shown to the gallery of the theater, and, as usual, sit on the floor, and here I might say that everything in Japan Is apparently done directly opposite to the way wo arc accus tomed. They read a book from the back to the front, their letters read up and down the page. The stage curtain drops when the performance begins. The scenery Is changed In lull view of the audience, and the mechanical ingenuity displayed is simply wonderful. The flr6t scene was Mount Fuji. The stage Is rsadft in the form of a three-sided square. Ten Geisha, girls are seated on the right and "sing" and play stringed Instruments called Shamisen, nine on the opposite, side beat drums, as the music strikes up, 16 Geishas march out cither side of the stage. 32 in all, and dance la procesfliofl to the front and back again. Their mave meats were done with great grace m& 'precis! OB, ad occupied, altaat 15 minutes. The next speno was a representation of a Shinto-Temple at Itokoyama Hill Kyoto. The water in the river flows past, and a water wheel is in operation. The third scene is a Temple gateway at JCasuga; the fourth Is another temple at Kasuga; the fifth is the sacred dancing stage of Yamada; the sixth is the sacred Bridge of Yamada; the seventh is entitled "Male and Female" rocks with a very realistic war scene. Every change of scene brought in a new batch of Geisha girls, and to an outsider looked like a repetition of the first dance. The dancers costumes -were of the most costly material and workmanship, and the paint, powder ard oil were used without stint. We consid ered ourselves very fortunate In being here at this time, as it Is only in Kyoto that this celebration is carried out In such gorgeous style. "At the Yaami Hotel, here In Kyoto, we saw the three sons of Prince Shim machl (who married tho daughter of the Emperor). Six servants attend these chil dren, and they 'have an English governess. They are just like other children. In spite of their royal birth, and the minute the attendants are out of sight they are into all sorts of mischief. From Yokohama we went out to Kamakura as the guests of Japanese acquaintances and enjoyed a menu of jotus root, bamboo shoots and cherry-blossom soup, sitting on the floor In the tea houses and eating in true Jap anese style with chopsticks." Mrs. Frohman has since visited many cities in China. She Is expected horae in several weeks. Want a Co-Operative Station.
