ALBANY BEATS SALEM Chosen as Meeting Place for Xext Convention Gathering Adjourns .rter Hearing Addresses by Visiting Kducators. Tlie western division of the State Teachers' Association concluded its convention yesterday afternoon with an election of officers for the ensuing year and with the transaction' of rou tine business such as presented itself. A number of Interesting addresses were also presented fdurins the day. "XYhen adjournment hour came at 4 Miss Alphlu I.. Ilii.ilck, Elected President Western Division . State Teachers Ashoeintion. t V. M. the following: officers were an nounced as the choice of the convention:- Miss Apliia I.. Uiinick. of Port land, president; R. '. Uobinson. County Superintendent of Schools, vice-president; YV. V. Wiley of Tillamook, sec ond vice-president; G. W. Jones of "Salem, secretary; Caroline A. Karnes, Portland, treasurer; J. H. l'owers, of Salem, executive committeeman for lonj? term; P. J.. Campbell. Eugene, committeeman, short term. Salem was chosen as the next meeting place by a vote of 301 against 141 tor Albany. Immediately before Un: teachers filed from the big assembly room at the Jfigh School a resolution was passed urging the forthcoming Legislature to Increase the school tax from to $8 per capita for all school children. The resolution was unanimously passed without explanation or argument. The first address of the forenoon ses sion in the primary department was given by Professor Travers. formerly superintendent of the Pendleton public schools. He gave; his views on work in the primary grades, .urging above all things the necessity of letting chil dren rely upon their own resources In doing the tilings required of them. The advantage and most successful methods In story work were described by Mrs. Kmma H. AVickersham. Kanuie U. Por ter, of the Portland schools, spoke of lmw to interest children of the Inter mediate grades in the right kind of literature. Superintendent J. M. Pow ers, of the Salem schools, spoke on his tory in these grades. The "History Wesson" was the subject of a discourse to the advanced section by A. 1 Briggs. president of the State Normal School at Drain. T. A. Hayes spoke on history in the eighth grades. Northwest Interested In History. At 10 o'clock, in the general assembly room. Professor .loseph Sliafer, of the University of Oregon, spoke on history study In the Northwest, setting forth its value. Among other things Profes sor Sharer said that history study is of greater interest in the Northwest for the reason that the population rep resents a greater number of countries through emigration and the interest of people in the country of their ancestors is naturally strong. The-effect of literature and oratory upon society was the subject of an able address by Congressman-elect "W. C. Jlswley. He took the unusual view that the power of oratory to shape af fairs of civilization has not gone by, but is yet in its dawn. Mr. Hawley was followed on the platform by Dr. "Winsbip. of Boston, who gave an in teresting talk on American authors. The first speaker of the afternoon was Dr. Moore, a Los Angeles educa tor, who dealt with the psychology of the student rather than of actual school work. He handled his subject in an energetic and in many ways original manner. Little Faith In Heredity. Tn the power of heredity he had little faith and less in power of the will. "One idea that is antagonistic to edu cation." he said, "is a false view of free will. We often hear that had a man controlled his will ho would not have done this or that which he ought not to have done. If you believe in that sort of thing you don't believe in education so much as I would like. "If a man commits a murder, could he have helped it by using his will? I say not. It is the result of his early life and Influences. He couldn't have done anything else. His whole life expresses Itself in that act. When a man Is remorseful for the wrong he has done he does not say 'What a fool I was not to have willed better; he says 'What a fool I was not to have known better.' When you are con fronted with a temptation, unless you are possessed of general Ideas for usa in dispelling that temptation, you can not resist it." Speaking of the influences of her edity. Dr. Moore held to the view that environment is more powerful in its Influence than heredity. He told of a New York family that had been out laws for generations and had cost the state over a million dollars in prosecu tions. He held that had the children of the older criminals been taken away from their pernicious parents in time they could have been brought up to ba useful citizens. Influence of Teacher on Child. "Heeause a child is the offspring of crazy parents docs not imply that the V;a 1 1 - - " J child will be crazy," said he, "nor does the fact that its parents have any peculiarities, physical or mental, indi cate that the same ailment will mani fest itself on the child. It is only when conditions arise tending to affect a nat ural tendency that the child may lapse Into the state of the parent. The teach er sees in the schoolroom the child of the able man. the child of the less able man, the child of the lazy man,' and all sorts of children. The teacher should determine to do her part in developing each and every one of these children so that they will grow to useful citi zenship." In conclusion, the speaker urged that teaching is a following to be com mended. "Teaching is an honorable calling," he said, "and too long we have been allowing people to belittle and demean us and to poke fun at us. The teacher may well be said to be the keeper of civilization." Dr. Jloore ws followed by Dr. Win ship, who gave a second address on schoolwork. His remarks were full of enthusiasm and lively interest and aroused general attention and much applause. He brought out, in particu lar, the necessity of being up to date in classroom methods. Educational AVork of Press. During the course of his address to tlie teachers Tuesday on the subject, "The Influence's That Mold the Com munity," Dr. H. C. Sampson, of the State Agricultural College of Washing ton, referred to the important education al work of the press. In this relation lie spoke of the works of the newspapers and referred particularly to The Ore gonian as one of tlie greatest educa tional factors of the West. "I consider Tlie Oregonian." said he. "far the best paper published in the West. In fact, it ranks with the three acknowledged great est papers of America, and I consider it as good as any one of them." The speaker regretted that most papers of the time were prone to pander to pub lic appetite for stories of crime and im morality to the exclusion of elevating and moral material. He mentioned The Oregonian and two or three other papers as being publications that are striving to correct this morbid appetite and to mold aJid direct public opinion instead of being led by public opinion. PENCE WILL GO AHEAD Tiefusal to Blast Will Not Prevent Him Washing Down Hill. "If I stopped every time this Willa mette Heights buncn grunted and grum bled. I would be a monument of stone by this time: I would not dare to make a move," said I.afe Pence yeslerday in dis cussing tlie decision of City Kngineer Taylor to issue him no more permits to blast on the Scotch Nubbin, which is being leveled by hydraulio means. Sev eral big blasts have been shot off to loosen hard portions of the work so tlie water will carry it away. "If God continues to send the water." said Mr. Pence, "we will keep on with tlie work just the .ame. If we can't blast portions of the work, we will have to have more water, that is ail. The de cision of Engineer Taylor will make our work harder, more expensive and slower, but it will be continued just ,the same." Mr. Pence commented on tlie fact that the people of the Heights could not well he blamed on account of several women being nervous and becoming alarmed at the explosions.. One woman was in the San Francisco disaster and is still ill. The noise of the blasts proved very annoying to her. The work will proceed faster as soon as heavy rains come again. Eight hydraulic giants are on the ground and will be put to work as the water supply admits. It is the plan of Mr. Pence to wash down the Scotch Nubbin by early Spring but he says in view of the pro hibition of blasting, the work may take longer.. The facing of clay on a portion of the work is very hard and can best be loosened by blasts. After the work progresses further, it is thought there will bo no trouble in washing the dirt away with the water. Refusal "of more blasting permits was secured from City Kngineer Taylor after a visit yesterday by a committee from the Willamette Heights Improvement Asso ciation. The organization met at the home of Colonel James Jackson Tuesday night and determined upon putting a stop to the blasting. "Besides frightening wo men, members said it damaged founda tions and chimneys of nearby buildings. Chief of Police Gritzmaeher has ordered that the scene of Pence's operations be watched closely to prevent tlie setting of any more blasts. HEAR HISTORICAL ADDRESS Daughters of American Revolution Hold Annual Social Meeting. The Multnomah Chapter of the Daugh ters of the American Revolution held its annual social meeting yesterday after noon at the residence of Mrs. H. H. Hoge. when practically all of the mem bers were accompanied by invited guests. The occasion was one of the most notable ones ever given by the local Daughters, about 50 being present. Mrs. Eva Emery Dye read the histori cal paper, which was the event of the afternoon. Music was provided for tlie entertainment of the guests. The musi cians were Mrs. J. Wliyte Evans, whose rich contralto voice was heard to fine advantage in several songs. Mrs. W. E. Thomas accompanying. Miss Frances Batcheldor. pianiste, gave a well inter preted Chopin number. Mrs. Evans songs were Del Relgo's "Happy Song." "The Quest," by Eleanor Smith, and Brahm's beautiful "Sapphic Ode." Mrs. A. E. Rockey, Mrs. Clark and Mrs. Dunne, of Seattle, served. Mrs. Hoge re ceiving the guests unattended. Mrs. Dye's paper was deeply interest ing to the patriotic Daughters, who fol lowed every detail. She had many sug gestions for the organization through which she considers it may perpetuate not only Its own name but the names of many of the heroes of revolutionary and latter days. . She urged the per petuation of the original Lewis and Clark trail by suitable monuments and the erection of a handsome marble memorial statue to the pioneer mother. Tlie preservation of the old Dr. McLaughlin home in Oregon City was given special emphasis by the speaker. Mrs. M. J. Montgomery spoke further on tlie subject and suggested that the Daughters of the Revolution as an or ganization indorse the effort being made to save the old house. The motion was promptly acted upon affirmatively. Big Deal in Timber. Lands owned by the Withees, Pauls and other interests of La Crosse, Wis., and lying in Linn and Lane Counties have been purchased by the Drew Timber Company of Iowa, of which Wells Gil bert of Portland is Western manager. The tract comprises 22.000 acres, the main body lying along the Calapooia river with pieces bordering the McKin zie and upper Mohawk rivers. This tim ber connects with the Caufield lands pur chased last year by the same company. These purchases, together with smaller ones, comprise about 35,000 acres of good fir land. The consideration was $20 an acre. Timberman look for an extensive development of the lumber business in tne Willamette valley on the completion of tlie various lines projected by the rail roads, both electric and steam, and the acquisition of rolling stock adequate for the handling of tlie traffic.

HIS APPEAL GIVEN HEARING Civil Service Commission Listens to Evidence Ite-arding Montgomery Dock Shooting: Affray. Ar guments Saturday. Two of the strongest witnesses for Ben Biglin, the deposed harbormaster, before the Civil Service Commission yesterday afternoon were Patrolmen Ellis and Rob erts, who it was generally supposed would give damaging testimony against him. To tlie surprise of all concerned, instead they materially strengthened the case of Biglin and directly contradicted the testi mony of Acting Chief of Police Gritz maeher. who was one of the witnesses who supported the Mayor. After the shooting affray at Montgomery Dock No. 2. about two months ago during the grain handlers' strike. Mayor Lane suspended Biglin. which action was later sustained by the police committee of the Executive Board. Acting Chief Gritzmaeher testified that at the tiipe of the strike the feeling be tween tlie grainhandlers and their em ployers was at a fever heat and that the slightest indiscretion was liable to precipitate a serious riot. Fie declared that his subordinates had been given specific instruction to exercise more than usual caution with their firearms and that if any of them had fired a shot when not absolutely necessary upon such an offense .suspension would have im mediately followed. "During the strike when we were on duty at the docks" where trouble was expected we never received orders about the use of our revolvers.' stated Patrol man Kills when cross-examined by John F. Logan, attorney for Captain Biglin. "Wo were supposed to use our own judg ment in protecting the property, and for myself if I had thought it was necessary to shoot I certainly would have shot. Trouble Was Kxpetiled. "At that time there was a crisis and trouble was expected almost any moment. The night before Captain Biglin tired un derneath the dock and was in turn fired upon by the hired detectives, strikers had repeatedly attempted to get on and under the dock which we were protecting. They were all along the river and com municated by the exchange of lights." Mayor Lane and his attorney, Martin L. Pipes, attempted to show that Biglin used almost criminal indiscretion when he fired underneath the dock. Biglin him self testified that the point where he fired tlie shot was fully 1000 feet from any place where the strikers had a right to be, and that in his opinion his use of firearms could not possibly have cre ated serious trouble unless the strikers were underneath the dtick at that time. "When I saw the light it looked pre cisely like a moving lantern and I be lieved 1 was justified in acting as I did.' said Captain Blgiin. "I shot Into the water to scare who might be there and to draw their fire. I know the caliber of those longshoremen. They would stop at nothing, not even when it came to klling a man." Patrolman Kllis stated that it Was partly due to his advice that Manager Shank, of the dock, secured the patrol boat which carried Biglin. He stated that Manager Shank had asked if he did not believe it would be a good idea to put on the boat, and that he had stated that he thought it would. Testimony Favors Biglin. The testimony was decidedly in fa vor of Biglin. Citizens who are fa miliar with conditions along the wa terfront testified that lie was a man of judgment, energy and sobriety, and that he had made an excellent harbor master. They declared that he had al ways endeavored to .enforce the law to the letter, and that many of the ordi nances for the order and protection of life along the front had been due to the efforts of Captain Biglin. Councilman Shepherd was one of the strongest witnesses for Biglin. He de clared that he had always been effi cient and vigilant in the performance of his duties and that lie bad done the very best possible with the means at his command. He declared that he bad been overworked and that to facilitate his work the Council had appropriated $700 for the purchase of a launch. The launch was never purchased. Kx-Mayor Williams testified that Biglin had performed his duties with entire satisfaction during the last ad ministration. Among the others who favored Biglin were: Henry Van Auken, captain of the Albina ferry; Louis Garner, who accompanied Biglin the night of the shooting; Lyddon Vey sey, of the Banfield-Veysey Fuel Com pany; John Driscoll; George H. Howell, a former member of the Executive Board; Harry Stutsman, superintend ent of the Burnside bridge; Chaplain A. E. Bernays, of the Seamen's Insti tute; C. Henri Labbe, French Consular agent: S. B. Cobb, of the Standard Box Company; Captain Conway, of the O. R. & N. water lines; Frank H. Ran som, of the Eastern & Western Lum ber Company; J. B. Brown, of Brown & McCabe, and John A. Anderson. Mayor Lane and Acting Chief Gritz maeher were the only ones who gave direct testimony against Biglin. Drake C. O'Reilly, of the Oregon Round Lum GIN AO -a" T ber Company, stated that he did not consider the position of harbormaster of much importance as at preesnt ad ministered. Three charges were preferred against Biglin by Mayor Lane. First, tlie shooting affair; second, his failure to submit monthly reports to the Executive Board, as required by the board, and. third, failure to submit an annual report. It was brought . out that during tlie last administration it was the custom of Biglin to make. ver bal reports to ex-Mayor Williams and that when Mayor Lane took office lie I continued tlie practice, anji that lie was never advised to do otherwise. For an annual report he submitted an estimate of ' expenses for this year, which was produced by Auditor Dev lin. The commission adjourned at S o'clock, but tlie ease will be reopened Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock, when the lawyers will submit their argu ments. ; DECIDES LEASE WILL HOLD Court Grants Petition of C S. Celes tino Against S. H. Howard. In the suit brought by Pietro Santo Celestino against Sampson H. Howard to prevent the alleged attempt to nulli fy a lease Judge Sears yesterday ruled that the plaintiff should retain his lease and rights under it until the case is tried before the court. The complaint in the case shows that Celestino leased from Howard a small portion of floor space in the latter's barber's shop to be used as a bootblack stand, at 107 Fourth street. The lease is still in effect as to duration, but it is alleged that Howard has attempted to oust Celestino. that the defendant will not permit him to ply his trade as boot black under the lease and that an agree ment, under which Celestino was to act as janitor of the barber shop, has been violated. It is claimed that since November 3 tlie plaintiff has not been allowed to work under his lease and agreement, and since' lie has refused to pay the lease rent the action of Judge Sears was asked for to prevent a forfeiture of the lease under a claim of nonpayment of rent. .USTJCK OLSOX WIN'S SUIT Court Decides That tlie County Must Furnish His Courtroom. The mandamus proceedings brought by Justice of the Peace Fred L. Olson to compel the county to provide furniture for his courtroom were decided in favor of the plaintiff by Judge Sears yesterday. Olson held that under tlie statutes the county should not only provide a court room for the Justice, but should also properly equip it. Under this contention Justice Olson ordered furniture for his courtroom, sending the bill to the county. The County Court' refused payment of this on the grounds that all required of the county was the provision of a court room. Judge Sears held that the furnishing of a courtroom under the statutes in cluded the provision of its necessary furniture. New Corporations. Articles of incorporation were filed yes terday for tlie Oregon M-rchantile & In vestment Company, by Margaret White. A. B. Winfee and W. A. Johnson. The purposes of the company are embraced in a wide .scope and it may engage In, gen eral merchandising and trading real estate and loan business, water trans portation and traffic including that of wharfinger mining, bond and stock bro kerage and the conl field. The capital stock is fixed at J10.0000 Other articles of Incorporation filed yes terday included those for the Pacific Coast Sales Promoters, incorporated by J. H. Krueger. M. L. Tichner and I. L. Wbite, and the Embody and Bradley Company of which C. W. Embody, H. L. Bradley and F. Wilmot are sponsors. The former company act as general merchan dise and commission agents and the latter is to devote itself mainly to real estate and timber lands. Father May Sec His Daughter. The hearing of testimony in the suit brought by George Brown to secure the custody of his five-year-old daughter from his divorced wife was concluded yesterday, and after argument Judge Sears rendered a decision which means a partial victory for the plaintiff. Under the decree divorcing the Browns, the custody of the baby-girl was giVen to the mother. It being provided that Mrs. Katie Griffith, the grandmother, should have the actual care of the child. Brown, through his suit, sought to regain ab solute possession of the child, but only secured a modification of the former de cree, to the extent that for one month during each Summer the daughter may visit him at his home, and that he may see his child once in two weeks at the home of her grandmother and custodian. Seeks Divorce From Cruel Husband. Charging threats of death and bodily harm, cruel and humiliating treatment at the . hands of her husband, Lizzie Gilman now seeks divorce from Charles N. Gilman. after eight years of married life. The complaint filed yesterday states that at one time Gil man terrorized his wife and two chil dren by threatening to burn them, and that he has also threatened to cut her throat. Destruction of househould property is also ciiarged, as well as the throwing of dishes by Gilman at his wife. The custody of the two chil dren, Charles, aged 7, and Archie, aged 6 years, is aske-J for by the plaintiff.

Object Is to Draft Rill for Coining Legislature Tliat Will IJeni ctly the Trouble. PORTLAND. Nov. 28. (To the Editor:) Through the Ort'gonian I wish to ask the hop dealers of Oregon to meet at my 'office in this city on Wednesday, December 5th. for the purpose of trying, to rind and carry out a remedy for the present and future car shortage difficulties and to organize for that purpose. Tlie question is now heing discussed by bodies representing various inter ests and localities, but as yet nothing very definite or tangible has appeared and it is eminently proper for our in terests to be represented, for the rea son that a remedy which would satis factorily solve the trouble for tlie grain dealers, whose freight business originates and terminates in this state and in cars owned by our' local com panies, might be entirely, ineffective for our freight shipped to Kastern states and almost entirely in cars be longing to foreign lines. It is likely that the proposed recip rocal demurrage plan would not cover our case, even if it were declared legal, which I doubt, and a railroad com mission with discretionary powers, is also a poor remedy, for all of the gen tlemen connected with our roads are such jolly good fellows that it would he hard for a commission to avoid get ting so very friendly witli them that the little shipper would be entirely forgotten. Probably no complete remedy can he effected through legislation, but perhaps- some relief can be obtained and surely our industry is in a condition needing it. We can employ the best legal counsel to draft legislation which will pass muster in our courts and will not con flict with that bugaboo, the interstate commerce law, behind which the roads dodge when other excuses are exhaust ed, and then each dealer can carry home to the growers of his county the plan that Is adopted and have them enlist the aid of their legislators in its enactment. Point out to them that the loss sustained by the inability to ship, ultimately falls upon the growers, for the buyer will deduct from his buy ing price, ample to cover all such de lays. It is a source of - wonderment to know where our cars have gone. The lumber men and wheat men say they haven't them, the hop men haven't them, where are they? As usual, Se attle is the guilty party. The money which should have gone to replacing the cars sent to the junk pile and for providing others to care for our great ly increased business has gone into million-dollar terminal sites in Seattle and to fight off competitive lines from Portland.

SLEEP WALKING Dangcroua THulilt Overcome ly ChnnK'e of FdoiI. The causes of sleep walking are various, but the sleep walker always has a dis turbed nervous system. Often improper food, by causing indi gestion and thereby poisoning the nerves through the stomach, is a cause of this trouble. "My daughter for five years was troubled with indigestion which resulted in extreme nervousness.' writes an In diana mother. "She would eat heartily of meat, vegetables and pastry for a time, and then become sluggish, lose her appe tite, and get so nervous she could not at tend to her school work. "Oh " such occasions the family doctor would call and by giving her medicine would fix her up for a while, only to have the old trouble come back in three or four weeks. "She would walk in her sleep some times when her nerve were greatly dis turbed by indigestion. "For breakfast we usually had some kind of cereal and for a change got some Grape-Nuts. We all took to the new food, my daughter became so very fond of it she often made her breakfast on Grape-Nuts, exclusive of anything else sometimes also for lunch. "We soon noticed a marked change In her nerves, she ceased to walk In her sleep and had no trouble with her stomach. We were confident the Grape Nuts had brought the happy change, and continued to use it. so that now after more than a year she is a rosy, robust girl full of animation, strong and well."
