THE HORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, JULY 12, 1905. 8 T Oil DISAPPROVE East Side High School Site Is Subject of Very Much Discussion. OPPOSING VIEWS GIVEN Some Strongly Favor Director Wit tenberg's 'Ideas, Wliile Others Are Just as Certain That He Is in the Wrong. A rEW PUBLIC RE FUNCTIONS. MRS. L. IV. SITTOX. chairman Board of Education For a variety of reason. I think the location of the new Eaet Side High School ought to be chanced. J. BEACH. School Director If the taxpayers had voted enough money to buy the ground and construct the school building, the site Mr. Wittenberg sug gests would be a good location, but we have no right to exceed the amount ap propriated. He misquotes me, by the statement that I am opposed to his se lection of a site, or even against the purchase of more land. I am In favor of buyJnT what we can pay for, and. In fact, we can go no further than that, under the law, an it now stands. FLORENCE KELLT. of the National "Woman's Rights Association This huge expenditure of $2,000,000 by New York City for the purchase of land for the use of the school children out of school hours expresses the effort of this gen eration to repair the bluncsrs of. the last three generations. DIRECTOR I. N. FLEISCHNER I cannot fee that our Individual opinions In the matter cut any figure at all. since the taxpayer decided to put the building on the site chosen. We cer tainly have no recourse but to follow their Instructions. Hardly any recent local topic has been productive of more genuine public Inter est than the questions affecting the loca tion of the new East Side High School Director Wittenberg. In The Oregonian of yesterday, sets forth his views at con siderablc length, favoring the purchase of ground separate from any other school building, and it Is known that he even advocates the purchase of two full blocks for this purpose one for the exclusive location of the building and the other for use as a playground for the pupils. The site already chosen at the last tax payers' meeting, and for which bids for excavating are now in procpss of publi cation, consists of a piece of ground 2&0x 460. in the block bounded by East Thlr teenth and Fourteenth, East Stark and Alder, on the south end of -which is lo cated the Hawthorne School. A feature dt ithe 'present agitation Is based, upon the idea that the situation of the new High School ought to be entirely inde pendent of any other educational Institu lion. Matter Threshed Over. Director Beach stated last night that this matter has been threshed over scv eral times heretofore. At the annual tax payers' meeting last December, the sum of $100,000 was voted for the new High School. The city already owned a large lot, hence it was arranged to put the en tire amount of the appropriation in the building. Plans were drawn upon this .hypothesis, and excavation will soon be under way. According to Mr. Beach, Isaiah Block- man, who owns the ground favored by Mr. Wittenberg as a site, wants $30,000 for the two blocks, while the 5100.000 referred to is all the money at the disposal of the directors. "The School Board has no authority to expend money not provided at the annual meeting of taxpayers, said Mr. Beach, "The money for such purposes Is provided by these taxpayers' meetings, and if thev do notice At to do so, we must submit to their action." Agrees With Beach. Director I. N. Fleischner agrees fullv "with Mr. Beach upon this subject, and said last night that, while personally he -was m sympatny with Director Wltten berg's ideas, the School Board had no voice In the matter, and he doubted also whether Mr. Wittenberg would be sus talned by any other meeting of taxpayers une question was canvassed quite thor oughly at a recent meeting of the Board and it was shown that much valuable time would be lost by calling another meeting, especially when the result was involved In so much doubL B. Lee Paget, who lives In North Alblna and who admits that his interest In the matter Is based somewhat upon selfish grounds, claims that the taxpayers' meet ing that selected the site chosen was not representative in any sense, and he is of the opinion that another meeting would sustain Mr. Wittenberg's views. Below follow some public expressions relative to the proposition: Florence Kelley's Views. "Having read with keen Interest the communication of H. Wittenberg in this morning's Oregonian I venture to submit lor the consideration of its readers the re cent experience of New York city, of which I am a resident," said Florence Kelley. "Last month New York city .appro priated $2,000,000 for the purchase of land for the use of the school children out ' of school hours. One million Is for small play grounds In the most crowded part of Manhattan and the second million Is for athletic fields In the boroughs of Brooklyn, the Bronx, Kings, Queens and Hichmondi. "This huge expenditure expresses the effort of this generation to repair the blunders of the last three generations. Our fathers, grandfathers and great grandfathers lacked Imagination to fore see the growth of population. They built schools with no yard, no gardens, no playgrounds, no athletic fields. They trusted to the then abundant vacant lots. But the vacant lots have been covered with tenements swarming with children who have no refuge but the streets. Ten years ago Jacob Rlis and others succeeded in securing the passage of a law requiring that every school must have a yard or playground. In districts In which land costs $1,000,000 an acre the Board of Education was reduced to evad ing this law by building a high stone parapet around the flat roof of the large schoolhouse and proclaiming this meager space above a five storied building the playground for the children of the neigh borhood. This has been done in scores of cases, and little boys and girls must toll up five long flights of stairs inside the -choolhouse to reach the. narrow space where. they are free to play within stone parapets and under a wire cage. "Now. when It is indeed too late, we see how cruelly shortsighted were the n .-who wasted the opportunity to ac quire for all time abundant land at mod- ! crate prices for the use of the children. "In Eastern cities today a school Is re garded as insufficiently equipped for edu cational purposes unless It possesses a school garden, a playground, an athletic field, shower baths and a branch of tne free public library. "It would be a tragedy Indeed if trio cit ies of the Pacific Coast in the 30th century should repeat the blunders of the cities of the Atlantic Coast made In the 13th cen tury. Every penny saved to the taxpayers of that century by failure to buy lana lor the children's use cost New York City many dollars In the form of disease and crime In the congested districts. In this century those ill-fated savings are costing hundreds of dollars for a penny saved. In the exorbitant price of the land now being bought In the interest of the public health, morals, safety and welfare to give to our New York children a slender share of that out-of-door life which can now be assured for all time, at a moderate cost. to the children of Portland. Like Other Cities. To the thoughtful person It must be obvious that Portland Is destined to un dergo the same growth in wealth and population which New York has experi enced. But why should Portland ignore the blunders of New York and so repeat them? It Is to be hoped, in tho interest of the children of the present and the future. that the new East Side High School may have, as every school should have. Its garden, its playground and Its athletic field, its shower bath and its branch of the public library. As a visitor filled with aamirauon oi this beautiful and enlightened city, I ven ture to express this hope." 311111c R. Trumbull's Opinion. "In this morning's Oregonian is pub lished a letter from Mr. Wittenberg. In which he makes a strong appeal to the Portland people to help him In his fight for the children's rights. "He rebukes the friends of the play. grounds and the children's park for In attention, and the rebuke Is deserved. While the women have been busy with club elections, suffrage conventions and unveilinflr monuments, the enemy's -work has gone steadily on," said Millie R. Trumbull. The children face a curious situa tion. On the one hand we have a Ju venile Court, recently established, out of which there is being organized a Juvenile Aid Association, 'which pro poses to provide camping grounds, swimming pools, to organize oau teams and plans generally to supply to these restless wards of the court the oppor tunity to work off In a legitimate man ner their surplus energy. "Why is this new organization necessary? -Because in the rush and hurry of our struggle for material gain, we have robbed the children of their right to play; we havo forced them to take to the streets. Need Fresli Air. The Child-Labor Commission is busy Issuing employment permits to children who should be out of doors, romping In the sunshine and fresh air. gathering strength for the school work. Instead of going Into the canning and the bag fac tories, because the mothers do not want them on the street. The Park Commis sion has closed the parks to the children. and as a consequence they are being taken care of by the Juvenile Court. It is surely a wasteful policy that waits un til the child Is on the delinquent list be fore his right to be a child is considered There are few open spaces accessible to the children who need them most, what CO , X ... EctMde St. 1 I Diagram of Iropoed Site of New High School Building. IPlat of new High School block showing location of Grammar School and amount of pace that inay be had between the build ings. SurrouncNng these blocks are small cottages and the free circulation of "air Is unobstructed. Across East Stark street the ground is much lower than the High School block. we need now today are playgrounds for our children, not workshops or reforma torles. It is not a question of taxes It is a question of the childhood of the city of Its future citizenship. In all in.tltu tlonal work, the- tendency Is away from the congregate systeo-a'way from the old-fashioned idea of crowding as many human being a possible into a given space. Give the cnlloren the extra block for a playground, and locate tho new- High School somewhere else. Portland is too splendid a city to commit the crlmo of exploiting her children. "The boy without a playground Is father of the man without a Job." and every mother and father In Portland should applaud Mr. Wittenberg for his splendid effort.

THEY WILL BE ISSUED AT ONCE BY ELECTRIC COMPANY. Six Million Dollars More May Bo Sold "When Trustees Deem It Best. Four millions of dollars In bonds will bo issued by the Portland General Electric Company to refund the old bonds and the , floating indebtedness of the company, to take up the old 6 per cent bonds and Is sue In their stead new 5 per cent bonds. This action was taken at a meeting of the stockholders of the company held yes terday afternoon. The company had ad vertised a meeting or tne stocKnoiaers ior the purpose of authorizing an issue of $10,000,000 In bonds, and this was done at the meeting of yesterday. In order to do this the by-laws of the corporation were amended, giving the trustees power to sell and transfer the proporty of the company. Out of the total Issue of $10,000,000 au thorized at the meeting of yesterday. $4,000,000 will be sold at this time. This amount Is necessary to take up the out standing bonds and floating Indebtedness of approximately $2,500,000. to pay the $1,000,000 expended In the recent construc tion of the steam plant and the Installa tion of new apparatus and enlargement of the substation, and other expendi tures.

HOT FIGHT ON SEPARATION Senate Takes Up Bill, Which Must Pass Before Election. PARIS. July 1L The appointment today by the Senate of a committee on separa tion is another step toward the final adop tion of the bill dividing church and state. already passed by the Chamber of Depu ties. Interest In the question now centers In the action to be taken by the Senate. and fears arc expressed that the long and fierce fight which characterized the debate In the lower house will be renewed. Neither the adherents nor the opponents of the bill are entirely satisfied with It as it stands. Partisans of the concordat recognize that the measure Impoverishes the church and express the Intention of endeavoring to obtain better terms re garding the disposal of church property. On the other hand, advanced Republican Senators argue that the measure Is too liberal, especially with reference to the formation of the district bodies, which, according to the bill, are henceforth to control religion. These bodies, by the text of the bill, must conform to the ten ets of Catholicism, and thus the bill tacitly recognizes the Catholic Church. Should cither tfarty succeed In changing the text of the measure, further debates would be provoked In the Chamber of Deputies. The government, however, is determined to have this measure of re form finally adopted before the dissolu tion of the chamber, which win taxe place early in 1905. Therefore the Senate committee will meet during the parlia mentary vacation, which lasts from July 13 to October 15. In order to avoid delay. as the dissolution of the chamber annuls all bills which have not been entirely rat ified by both houses. REDUCE IRISH MEMBERSHIP Redistribution of Scats in Parlia ment "Will Cause Fight. LONDON. July 11. The Government's proposals for the redistribution of seats have been Issued. The Idea is to give one member for every 65.0CO of population, thereby abolishing the constituencies hav ing populations under that figure. The effect of the proposals will be a gain of 17 seats to England, one seat to Wales and four seats to Scotland, and a loss of 22 seats to Ireland. The redistribution scheme Is regarded as being In the na ture of a compromise. On a strict basis of population. Ireland is now considered to have 30 more members In Parliament than she Is entitled to. and that she will lose only 22 members under the new ar rangement Is a more favorable outcome than had been anticipated. The scheme. nevertheless, will be fiercely opposed by the Homerulers and liberals. TEN YEARS FOR FRENCH SPY Japan Convicts Bougouln of Betray ing Military Secrets. TOKIO. July It The Judgment In the case of Captain A. E. Bougouln, the French resident who was sentenced yes terday to 10 years Imprisonment at hard labor on the charge of being a Russian spy, declares the accused was engaged In searching for and reporting military se crets. The counts follow: First Last November, Bougouln ascer tained the departure of a certain division, and sent a cipher message to Kessler, a Frenchman, of Shanghai, who telegraphed the Information to the Petit Parlslen. In November a certain division effected a land ing and dispatched cavalry. Bougouln mailed the facts to the same newspaper. Second The departure northward by rail of & certain division was ascertained and reported to the same newspaper. Third A division reported Its destination In January, and another division was moved northward. The facts were reported to Captain Delabry. of Tarts, through the mall pouch of the French Legation. Fourth The composition of the various artillery detachments of Port Arthur, and the kinds of guns, were ascertained in Au gust and reported to Captain pelabry In the same manner. Fifth The organization of a new division, the recruiting of regiments at Sendal. were ascertained In February; the dispatch ofl regiments from Yokohama, the recruiting at Nagoya. and the dispatch of regiments from Taketoyo were reported to Captain Dela bry In the same manner. Sixth The formation of certain bodies at Hiroshima was reported to Captain Delabry In the same manner. The presence of a fleet of SO transports at a certain point In April was reported to Kessler at Shanghai, and cabled to Captain Delabry. Additional Information concerning the cargoes of transports was re ported by letter. The Judgment recites that Bougouln sent his Interpreter Makl to ascer tain the movements of troops, and that Maki confessed his guilt. The Judgment declared that the In formation covered by counts two and three related to the northward move ment of the Investing army of Port Arthur after the capitulation of that fortress and previous to the battle of Mukden. The decision declarod that therefore the Information con stituted an important military secret. WILL PAY ALL DEPOSITORS Funds Enough in Closed Bank, and Large Dividend for Stockholders. ST. LOUIS.

NO CONCESSION TO CHINA Japan Will Give Her Xo Voice in Slaking Treaty High Termj Proposed by tho Japa nese Jingoes. WASHINGTON, July 1L By appoint ment. Kogoro Takahira. the Japanese Minister, will call on the President at Oyster Bay next Friday morning for a conference regarding the peace negotia tions. He will return, probably to Wash ington. Saturday, and then go away for a brief rest, of which he Is much In need. The Japanese mission Is expected to reach New York about the last of July. Baron Komura will be accompanied by Colonel Tachlbara. the newly-appointed military attache at Washington, who will be one of the advisers of the mission; Mr. Adacho, first secretary of legation, unat tached, who served with Mr. Takahira while the latter was Minister to Rome; Mr. Sato, of the Foreign Office, who ac companied Prince Fushiml to this coun try last year; an American lawyer, who has been legal adviser to tho Foreign Of fice for 25 years; Mr. Yamaca, chief of the Japanese political bureau, and two private secretaries. The Japanese mission will be supplemented at Portsmouth by Mr. Taka hira. the other plenipotentiary; Com mander Takashlta. the Japanese naval attache at Washington; Mr. Hanlhar, the third secretary of the legation here, and probably several other secretaries from the legation. Throughout the conference the Japanese legation will remain at Washington, with Mr. Hlokl. first secre tary. In charge. The legation will keep In close touch with the plenipotentiaries, and through Its proximity to the State De partment will render material assistance to them. Nothing more Is heard here of China's request to be represented at the confer ence. This action has by no means pleased 'Japan, and the hitter's objection to the suggestion was fully expected by the Washington GovernmenL Whether the Chinese government has communicat ed with Washington on the subject cannot be learned here. In diplomatic circles sympathetic to Japan It Is declared that China's request was made at the Instance of Russia, but this statement lacks official confirmation.
