THE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, DECE3IBEH 29, 1906. GREED THRIVES ON CHILD' LABOR Beveridge Makes Urgent Plea Against Ereeding of Degenerates. FUTURE CITIZENS RUINED State Rights Waived to Exterminate Yellow Fever 'and Bubonic Plague, Then Why Not to End Child Slavery. LINCOLN, Neb.. Dec. 2R. Senator Al bert J. Beverldge addressed the closing meeting of the Nebraska State Teachers' : Association here tonight, speaking on 'Schools and the Nation." He was in troduced by W. J. Bryan and said: "Nothing shows how much greed for gets humanity as child slavery. There is something wrong with a prosperity which is so immense that it finally comes to feed upon the lives of little children. Men who make money by working In fants are making too much money. Training Up Young Hooligans. "There are. at a low estimate, half a million children under 14 at work in cotton mills, glass factories, sweatshops, mines and like industries. Those whom such toil does not kill are being ruined for citizenship. We are turning out, at a low estimate, 200,000 adult Ixmdon Hooli gans every year and these become in " turn the parents of hundreds of thousands of other degenerates. And so this .civic pestilence riots and spreads. "It must be stopped If not for the sake , of the children themselves, then for our own sake; if not for the sake .of common humanity, then for the sake of the Re public's safety. For this Republic Is based on citizenship. We cannot sow the wind today without reaping the whirlwind' to morrow. When State Rights AVere Waived. "If everybody. Including the most earn est advocates of state rights, could agree on a National quarantine law to- keep out yellow fever, which does not kill 20 people in 20 years, how much more should we agree on a National child labor law to stop a practice that actually kills thousands of children and irreclaimably ruins tens of thousands every year. "To be sure, no great industries were maintained upon yellow fever and great Industries are maintained upon child labor. Business Interests were not ad vanced by the bubonic plague, but busi-i riess Interests are advanced by child slavery but this is not an argument. We have become so commercialized that, while we forget state rights when provid ing against yellow fever and the bubonic plague, we remember state rights when providing against the murder and ruin of little children. Cut Out Debasing Thing. "However, the theory of state rights is not affected by the child labor bill pending in the Senate. The bill affects child labor only in factories, mines and sweatshops. That is as far as it should go at present. It docs not touch any healthful employment of children any where in the Republic. It cuts out only the cancer of murderous and debasing child labor." The association voted unanimously ask ing Nebraska Senators and Representa tives In Congress to support Mr Bever idge's child-labor bill. HALLOCK FUNERAL HERE Portland Klks In Charge ot Obse , qtiles. of Astoria Brother. The funeral of Edward Hallo.k. who died at Astoria Wednesday from pneu monia, will be held at the Elks' Temple Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The body was brought to Portland last night by a delegation from the Astoria Lodge of Elks, of which Mr. Hallock was past exalted ruler, and is now at the cnapel of Dunning, McEntee & Gilbaugh. It is expected that a large delegation of ' As toria Elks will come to attend the funeral services. ' Edward Hallock was born and brought up In Portland. Ho was about 52 years of age. and was a son of the late A. B. Hallock. of Portland, who was chief en gineer of the Portland Fire Department for years. Edward Hallock was born at the old family home, which stood on the site of the Commonwealth building at Seventh and Ankeny streets. He left Portland about 20 years ago for Astoria where he resided until his death. He was Interested In the cannery business and for several terms was Chief of Police of Astoria. Few men in Oregon had a wider ac quaintance than Mr. Hallock, who had friends in everj county of the state. PERKINS AND FAIRCHILD , (Continued From First rage. ) New Tork Life Insurance Company on December 31, 1901. received in . pay ment for 2JO0 shares of preferred capi tal stock of the Chicago & Northwest ern Railroad Company the sum of $470,000, and received in payment for 303 shares of Chicago, Milwaukee &. St. Paul Railway Company $57,000, whereas In truth and fact the New York Life Insurance Company had not received such payments, all of which : the said George W. Perkins well knew was against the statutes and the peace of the people of New York." Jerome Yielded to Pressure. The grand jury's investigation of the affairs of the New York Life In surance Company . was an outgrowth of the Armstrong Investigation. So voluminous was the testimony taken by the legislative committee that Mr. Jerome was occupied for months In examining It. Mr. Perkins was arrested on a technical charge of larceny, but that the proceeding was clearly a test case was shown when it was permitted to go to the highest .court in the state Without any oppo sition from the accused. The pressure upon Mr. Jerome to proceed aguinst high officials In creased rather than d'mlnlshed as time went on. puring.tha Spring months the public demand for an investiga tion was reinforced by Justice O'Sulli- van, of the Court of General Sessions, who. In a sensational charge to a grand Jury, directed it to- take up and Investigate insurance matters, with the .assistance of the District Attorney If he chose to give it assistance, or with out It If he did not. The question was considered to some extent by that grand jury, but was left unfinished when it was dismissed. . On the re-. quest of the District Attorney a spe cial grand Jury was next drawn for the sole purpose of taking up the in surance companies. The real activity, however, began only a few weeks ago after the conviction of George W. Burnham, Jr., general counsel for the Mutual Reserve Life Insurance Com pany, on a charge of forgery. The indictment of Burnham and two other high officials of the Mutual Re serve had followed the insurance in vestigation. The verdict against Burn ham convinced Mr. Jerome, so he later announced, that there might be grounds upon which he could proceed against the officials of the New York Life. As a result the matter was once more placed before the. grand jury, and was pressed vigorously. It has been said that when Mr. Per kins was a witness before the grand Jury he was warned of his legal rights, but it is understood that he told all he knew of his connection with the various transactions in the New York Life Insurance Company. INSURANCE MEN COMBINED Presidents of Big Companies Form Association for Defense. NEW YORK, Dec. 28. The Association of Life Insurance Presidents was organ ized here today and a constitution and by-laws were adopted. Ten of the 14 presidents who attended voted to adopt the constitution and by-laws, the others being excused from voting until they can consult their directors. The meeting ad journed until January 17. The object of the association is the "Improvement of life insurance business by the inauguration of better practices with the idea of ulmlately increasing dividends and thereby reducing the cost of life insurance to policy-holders." It was announced that it would be the policy of the new association publicly to present the merits of life Insurance when ever the Interests of policy-holders are assailed. OIliSCOLl BEATS FREEMAN CHOSEN TO HEAD MILTSOMAH COUNTY DELEGATION. Wins by Vote of 9 to 8, on Second Ballot Freeman Is Selected us Secretary. At a meeting of the Multnomah law makers last night In the Fenton building. Representative John Drls coll was elected permanent chairman on the second ballot, against Repre sentative Frank Freeman, by a vote of 9 and 8. The result was a surprise. All the lawmakers were present ex cept. Senators Bailey, Sichel and Mays. The first ballot was: Drjscoll, 8; Free man, 6; Bailey, 1; Chapln, 1; blank, 1. Freeman was elected secretary of the delegation. Driscoll was a dark-horse candidate, and his boom was not sprung until the meeting began. There were no nomi nating speeches. The next meeting will be held Friday evening of next week. Politics was not discussed, nor the contest for the Speakership. The announcement that five members would support Davey, of Marion, was not made until after the session. The only question of legislation dis cussed was the subject of juvenile court, which Judge Frazer presented in a long, but interesting discourse. He urged pass age of an act authorizing construction of a detention home, on a four-acre site of ground at Monlavilla, which had been donated for the purpose. The home would cost between J5000 and $S00 he said and was much needed for correction of Juve nile culprits. He suggested that in sev eral other counties which desire juvenile courts, the County Clerk be made the presiding officer. Judge Frazer advised that the office -of probation officer be created, at a salary of tlsQ a month, and that three deputies be authorized, one of them to be a Deputy Sheriff. He sug gested also that a Deputy District At torney be detailed to the juvenile court. He recommended farther that the maxi mum age of juvenile offenders, subject to the jurisdiction of the court be raised from 16 to 18 years. The lawmakers were favorably im pressed with Judge Frazer's recommen dations. Changes were made In the original printed draft of the bank law of the Oregon Bankers' Association yester day by the executive committee of the association, in response to criticisms of the bill by members of the associa tion to the effect that the salary of the Bank Examiner be made $3000 a year instead of $2400. Tne cash " reserve requirement In cities of more than 50,300 population was raised from 15 to 25 per cent of deposits, but one-half ot the reserve may consist of balances due from sol vent banks. The limit put on value of real es tate which a bank may hold for Its business was reduced to 25 per cent of Its paid in capital surplus and un divided profits, from 50 per cent. The State Treasurer instead of. the bank examiner was made the collector of the fees from the banks, and the fees are to be turned into the general fund. The fees were made the same as those for National banks. Tho sum of - $10,000, appropriated from the general fund, was authorized to defray the expenses of the office of bank examiner. Directors were required to examine and approve loans every 90 days. Other alterations were made as to phraseology simply for clearer diction. The framers ot the bill and the executive committee think the bill a good one that will stand the test in the Legislature. The request of foreign banks for modifi cation of the section that limits the loan that can be made to a single corporation or individual, of 25 per cert of aggregate capital surplus and undivided profits, was not granted. Among those present at the meeting were E. W. Haines, president of the as sociation, and J. L. Hartman, secretary; M. S. Woodstock, of Corvallis: J. H. AJbcrt. Jr.. of Salem, and H. Hirschberg, of Independence. NORTHWESTERN MUTUAL LIFE. Only Trivial Changes Required by the Armstrong Legislation In This Company's Affairs.

JOHN BULL RESTIVE Tired of Waiting for Bryce to BeAccepted. HAS SHOWN HAND TOO SOON Violated Precedent in Announcing Choice of Ambassador Durand and Bryce Both May Scorn Title of Lord. LONDON. Dec. 28. The United States is causing British officialdom much em barrassment through its failure to send in Its acceptance of the appointment of James Bryce as Ambassador to Washing ton. This must be received before the of ficial announcement of the appointment can be made. The appointment has been admitted by the Foreign Office and Mr. Bryce has an nounced It In a letter to his constituents, 'but the proclamation Is lying on a desk awaiting a cablegram from Washington. The moment this message is received, a' MARRIED FIFTY YEARS T 1 ' - V'- MR. AND MRS. JONATHAN 3. EASTMAN.. CLATSKANIE. Or., Dec. 28. Mr. and Mrs.Jonathan J. Eastman celebrated their golden weddlns at their home In Clatskanie today. Their children, Arthur' Eastman and L. B. ' Eastman, of Clatskanie. and Mrs. Joseph Maxwell, of Rai nier, were present, also grandchildren and great-grandchildren and about 80 neigh bors and friends. Jonathan Eastman was born in Cleveland, O., and Mrs. Eastman in Indiana. They were pioneers in "Wisconsin, where they were married BO years ago today. Later they were pioneers In Colorado and in 1873 came to Oregon, where they have resided since, except nine years they spent in Florida. Mr. Eastman was in the mercantile business before the wsr. but was mustered out as one of the Wisconsin regulars during the Civil War. After the war they spent a few years mining in Colorado. ' special gazette will be issued' and formal .information aent to the press. The pres ent occurrence is most unusual in Great Britain, where it is very rare for an appointment of this kind to be made public until its publication in the ga zette. While It is known'what the Cabinet will decide, it is pointed out that, although Sir Henry Durand is retiring from Wash ington, 1t does not necessarily follow that he will entirely sever his connection, with the Imperial Service. "There is no diplomatic position open at present." said an official today, "but there are many posts for which Sir Henry is admirably suited, and It is more likely that he will take one of these rather than go to the House of Lords. "Nothing has been decided In the mat ter of a peerage for James Bryce and In this case also the general belief Is that he will continue to be plain Mr. Bryce, both because of his own inclination and because of the opinion that Americans would prefer it." BRYCE IS QUITE ACCEPTABLE Roosevelt Sent Word Both in Writing and by Durand. WASHINGTON, Pec. 28. When shown the cablegram from London saying that the British government Is embarrassed by the failure of the United States to send an acceptance of the appointment of James Bryce as Ambassador to the United States, Secretary Root said: "The British government was notified both orally (through Ambassador Du rand) and In writing several days ago that the appointment of Mr. Bryce would be eminently satisfactory to this Govern ment." It was announced, in Washington dis patches a week ago that In response to inquiries from the British government President Roosevelt had indicated that Mr. Bryce's appointment would be en tirely acceptable. - HEARTY FAREWELL TO DURAND Cabinet Ministers and ' Diplomats Pay Unusual Compliment.

Taft and Metcalf and As sociate Justice Moody paid Sir Mortimer an unusual compliment by going to the railway fetation and joining the members of the diplomatic corps In saying good bye to the Ambassador and his family.

The efforts of United States Commissioner of Labor Neill to settle the strike -ot the Southern Pacific Railway firemen have so far been without success. Several conferences were today participated In- by Mr. Neill and the railway company, its firemen and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, and so confident was Mr. Neill of being able to bring the parties to an agree ment that he stated early In the night that the strike would be settled before morning. He found, however, many complications In the contentions of the engineers and firemen as to the right to the regulation of the seniority list of the switch en gineers, members of the Firemen's Bro therhood, and It was on this point, the very essence of the trouble, that the fail ure to get the parties together occurred. Mr. Neill will take the matter up again tomorrow. . STRIKEBREAKERS BROUGHT IN Strikers Say Railroad Officials Hide Them in Cars. EL PASO, Tex., Dec. 28. It is posi tively asserted by the striking mem bers of the Brotherhood of Locomotive AGO IN WISCONSIN. - . i-W- T"' .' a x ' ' Firemen that the Southern Pacific has Imported from Chicago and other points a lot of strikebreakers, who are concealed here in cars under guard. Acting Superintendent Wade, of the El Paso division, admitted that several men had been brought here to replace the men who had left the service, but denied that they are strikebreakers or that they were under guard, though admitting that they were accompanied by the "company's representatives." He also stated that the conditions were practically normal. DUNNE REBUKES GRAHAM Incensed at Alleged Interference In Schmitz-Ruef Case. SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 28. Judge Dunne today auministered a. remark able rebuke to Presiding Judge Gra ham when he learned that the latter is prepared to consider the motion of the attorneys for Mayor Schmltz to have his case transferred to another court. Judge Dunne not only directly accused Graham of interfering with tho business of his department, but de clared with an air of finality that If the Schmltz case is taken away from him the Ruef case must go with it. On that account he continued the procedeings Joking to the setting aside of tho indictments against Kuef until Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock, at which time Judge Graham will have made It evident whether he intends to slice the Ruef-Schmitz case in half. In passing on the matter. Judge Dunne said: "I am not unfamiliar with the tac tics employed by counsel defending the co-defendant here, and I have also no ticed that they invariably appeal to Judge Graham as a man of large sym pathies and generous Impulses. That the Judge has found it necessary and proper to interfere in the past with the orderly conduct of this court and In that connection, and in connection with the proceedings now before this court, it seems to me that I ought not to bo called upon to do an idle and useless thing. In other wordB. I ought not to be compelled to proceed with this Inquiry In the present condition, because if the application of the coun sel should appeal to Judge Graham. I want It understood that ' both cases will be sent to him. I cannot proceed under the very circumstances of the case with the hearing of this matter with regard to the Defendant Ruef, and I would not feel justified in so doing. I submit the matter to you. You have my views." Judge Graham today postponed, until Monday morning, the hearing of Mayor Schmitx' motion for a transfer of his Indictment case from Judge Dunne's court to some other department of the Superior court. The postponement was ordered after a bitter Interchange of words by the attorneys, and at the re quest of Assistant District Attorney Hiram Johnson, who desires to file coun ter affidavits.

THEIR AVERAGE IS LOWER Phillips Gives Result ot Investiga tion Hetherington Proposes Ath letics as Means of Educa tion, Not as Sport. SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Dec. 28. Two discussions of importance regarding college athletics occupied the ses sions of the' American Physical Educa tion Association today. The first arose over a paper by Clark W. Hethering ton of the University of Missouri on "The Place of Athletics in the Educa tion of College Men." He called attention to the evil ef fects of football and other contests when carried on exclusively with the idea of pleasing the spectators, and said that college Siirectors should In sist that athletics be conducted as a means of education rather than a con tribution to tho "sporting" life of the country. Dr. Paul J. Phillips of Amherst pre sented the report of several years' special investigation into scholarship of college athletes at Amherst. His facts showed that varsity athletes at Amherst for the last 18 years have averaged 4 per cent lower in their studies than the others.
