EVANS WILL MAKE CHOICE Distribution or Fleet to Be Arranged on Arrival at San Francisco. Battleships Will Not Come l"p River. ORKGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington. March 10. Senator Fulton 'to day conferred with the Secretary of the Navy and Chief of the Bureau of Navi gation relative to the desire of the peo ple of Portland to have warshlp sent to Portland during the Rose Festival in June. Navy officials told 'him they believed it would be possible to send several cruisers and torpedo craft to Portland at that time, but at this early day they could not tell what ships or how many could be detailed. The department Is awaiting the ar rival of Admiral Evans at San Fran cisco before completing plans for the distribution of the fleet, and at that time Portland will be taken care of. The officials Informed the Senator they would not be Justified in sending bat tleships to Portland, because those ships are difficult to navigate In river channels. Cruisers are most easily controlled, and no risk would be in curred in sending them to Portland. Senator Bourne took this matter up with the President, and told him he would like to see Portland properly recognized. The President explained that this was a matter for the Navy Department to settle. HRVEY AI.L NORTHWEST LAND Hejunrn Gets Bill Through Senate, Removing Obstacles. , OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. March 10. Senator Hepburn to day secured the passage through the Senate of his bill providing for the survey of all public land, reserved and unreserved, in Idaho, Oregon, Montana and California.

He wants f 200,000 for Idaho. GREAT BRITAIN ENTERS CASE Advising Arbitration of China-Japan Difficulties. TOKIO, March 10. According to a well authenticated report, the center of in terest In the Tatsu Mam affair has been removed to London. When the British government was informed of Japan's an nouncement that In the event of a re fusal by China to entertain her demands that Japan proposed to take "independ ent action." the British foreign office asked Count Komura, the Japanese Am bassador in London, what steps Japan proposed to take, calling his attention to the clause in the treaty with Great Britain covering the question of war be tween Japan and any other nation. Great Britain's interest therein being under stood here. Ambassador Komura, being unable to give a definite answer, asked the for eign office in Toklo for information, which found the attitude of the British government an unexpected phase in the situation. It is stated here that the British government is advising arbitra tion on the question of the restoration of the arms seised and has pointed out the advisability of Japan admitting tie moral side of the question while doubt less technically correct. This new turn of events has created a deadlock here, and the foreign office la now awaiting advices from Ambassador Komura.

YOUR OWN BLACK SHEEP Common Sense In Taking Care of a Backward Child. Youth's Companion. Po you number among your brood that most tragic of all created beings a "backward child? If you Jo, does that child seem, as backward children generally do. prompt to mischief but slow to all else? Is he, tliough ap parently Impervious to reproof, ab normally swift in resentment? You may say that, although the other children coutd read long before tluv had r,ach,H his are he Is still stumbling over his letters in a kinder garten: that he cannot lace his shoes or wash his hands or take a mes sage: and finally, that you are in de spair. But you need not despair unless you are certain that you have met this slate of affairs with Its proper reme dies. . You have perhaps done what so many parents have done before you besought, scolded, punished, or set tled down to a sort of hopeless bick ering. All this is not only useless it Is wrong. Modern science, with Its great and ever-growkig interest In In fant psychology and pedagogics, "has demonstrated that In the great ma jority of cases a physics! cause lies back of Juvenile Incorrigibility, and It Is tne duty of parents to seek out this oh use and apply Its remedy. If your child does not quite hear, does not quite see, cannot quite breathe freely, neither will it quite understand, or obey, or develop. Lo not allow your self to be the Judge as to whether these conditions exist or not, but take vour backward child to the specialist. WARSHIPS W J whose life-work is "to recognise them , and put them right j A child who habitually breathes with i open mouth will probably be both deaf and Inattentive, and will certainly be below par physically, but the removal of the choking growths - In nose or throat is a comparatively simple mat ter, while the after effects may seem like some blessed miracle. If your' child has a defect of vision, he will naturally lag behind In the classrfon and suffer from cruel' nerv ous strain through, all his waking hours. It makes the heart ache tc think how much original sin would vanish at the snip of the tonsil scis sors or the putting of- properly fitted glasses In the case of hundreds of poor, harassed, bewildered little chil dren. - There is an old bad saying about "the black sheep In every flock." It is a medieval verdict that modern sjcl ence happily tends more and more to overthrow. - -T UNCLE REMUS' DOG STORY This Canine Lived In Eatonton, Ga., and Knew Money's Value. Uncle Remus Magazine. It is certain that Flash took partic ular note of the round metal tokens by means of which the patrons of the place the meat market which Flash frequented procured their . beef, but Just how, or at what particular time, the dog's education was completed can never be known, but one d:.y. some one who knew him well, saw that Instead of attending the meat ' market, as usual, he was watching intently a group of men who were talking about something entirely foreign to the sub ject that engrossed Flash's thoughts if he hayl any. Anyhow, a gentleman observed that the dog was not in his usual place, and he remarked. In a jovial way: "Flash, you should be at the market: the bell has rung. Here, take this penny, and buy you "some dinner.". Now, this was a joke oh the man's part.' but he held a penny In his hand, and, to his sur prise, the dog came forward, took the copper piece in his mouth, and went running to the market. The meat seller was serving some one, and so Flash had io wait with what patience he could. When his opportunity came, he placed his forepaws on the meat bench, and deposited the penny where the man could not fall to see It. The seller expressed considerable surprise, and gave the dog much more than a penny's worth. .. When Flash "had disposed of his mar keting, he returned to the group in front of the hotel, secured , another penny, and repeated his performance. After that, he was the wonder of the town, and he thrived and fattened on his reputation for several weeks. But one day a drummer gave him a dime, and when the dog perceived that for a dime he could purchase ever so much more meat than a copper piece would command, he refused to accept any more pennies. He would take a penny in his mouth, by way of being aollta, but he would Immediately eject it and gaze so earnestly at the giver, wag ging his tail the while, that it was al most Impossible to resist his mute ap peals. He would take nickels and dimes, but sometimes, when he waS not hungry, he would fail to go through his favorite performance, la stead, he would take the dime or the nickel In his mouth, and disappear anound the corner. For a long 'time this movement was a myetery, but after awhile it was discovered .that he buried the money, but no one ever found his place of deposit. Another dog would have burled the meat, but Flash had gentle tastes and refined habits when compared to all other dogs; and it is only to compare. Flash with or dinary dogs that this brief history of his self-education is given. It shows what can be accomplished by close application and . reflection. Flash was not a mathematician, nor an astronomer, nor a theologian: he was a financier. He discovered for himself the value of money, knew the differ ence between the smaller coins, and he made for himself a savings bank that was above the Influence of speculation. CO-OPERATIVE BAKE SHOP Arts and Crafts Bakery Workers Di vide Profit. New York .Times. An arts-and-cratfs bakery has been added to the list of handmade furniture, hand-woven rugs and hand-worked' metal put out by the various craftsmen's settle ments. The bakeshop has been opened at Alpine, N. J., and sends out its wares in dustproof packages. But the object of the new bakery Is not so much to provide germ-free bread and cookies as to illus trate a new theory of Industrial life. According to the plans of Its founder. Professor Copeland, of Wesley an Univer sity, this factory1 is to be educational as well as productive, and the working unit 1b not the day laborer, but the family. The factory forms an Industrial settle ment where the women live and work with their children, who help around the shop, and in that way gain their indus trial training. Aside from this, regular play and school hours are assigned, so that the little apprentices are In no way the neglected, overworked victims pic tured in child labor literature. The men in the establishment are old hands, who through age or illness can no longer do the full day's work required by the trades unions. They come to the bread shop and put In as much time as they are able, and are paid accordingly. The salaries are regulated by a point system. For so many hours' work each helper man. woman or child receives so many points to his credit. On payday the profits of the factory are divided among the hands. each getting an amount In proportion to the number of points to his credit. There are now 40 families on the waiting list, in addition so the helpers already In the shop Always the Rookie. Anns and the Man-. Captain Washington Bowie, Jr.. Maryland National Guard, the well known military rifleman, relates the following occurrence, which took place last Summer: A certain militia organization was encamped at Jamestown, and as the exposition was closed Sunday no order for dress parade was Issued. Two "rookies." or recruits, took It for granted that their presence would not be rtqulred during the day. Upon their return they were met by the first sergeant, and the following conversa tion ensued: Sergeant Where have you fellows been? Rookie What'do you wart to know for? Sergeant Well, you missed retreat Rookies (in -chorus) The dickens we did!- Who treated? Rider Licft to) Die in Road. elARKSVlLUK. Tenn.. March 10. Near Woodford, 15 miles from Clarksvllle, Brown Bennett the son of an association tobacco raiser, was found early this morn ing in the public road In a dying condition with a bullet hole through his head. Near Bennett were two dead horses and three empty shotguns. It Is believed that young Bennett was a night rider- and was shot down by persons whom he and his gang had at tacked, and that his comrades In their haste to get away had left him dying on the seen of the fight MOTHERS IKE BEST CITIZENS President Roosevelt Addresses Delegates of Mothers' ;. -Congress. ; CONDEMNS CHILD LABOR Says School Should Have the Right Kind of Playgrounds, and That , Children Should Be Taught - the Practical Tilings. WASHINGTON,' March 10. The White House was the scene today of the formal opening of the first Inter national CongTess on the "Welfare of the Child, which is being held under the auspices of the National Mothers' Congress. The 200 delegates repre sented all the states, and territories, and a dozen or more of the leading countries of the world, and were re ceived at the White House, when President Roosevelt delivered an ad dress to them. In which he said: "I receive many societies in the White House, many organizations of good men and good women, striving to do all that In them lies for the better ment of our social and civic conditions, but there is no other society 'which I am quite as glad to receive as this. This is the one body that I put even ahead of the veterans of the Civil War because, when all is said. It is the mother, and the mother only, who la a better citizen even than the soldier who fights for his own country. The successful mother, the mother who does her part In rearing and tralng aright the boys and girls who are to be the men and women of the next generation. Is of greater use to the community and occupies, if she only would realize it, a more honorable as well as a more Important position than any successful man In it." "I want to ask your assistance for two or three matters that are not immediately connected -with the life in the family it self, but that are of vital csonequence to the children. In the first place, in the schools see that the successful work Is made practical as possible. As regards our public schools especially I want to put in a special word in behalf of the right kind of playgrounds. No school Is a good school if It has not a good play ground. Help the children to play; and remember taht you can often help them most by letting them entirely alone. It Is the gravest kind of wronk, not only to the children, but to the whole com munity, to turn out the' boys and girls, especially In the congested part of the city, with no . place to play In but the streets. "You cannot have good citizens, good men and women of the next generation if the boys and girls are worked In fac tories to the stunting of their moral, mental and physical growth.- Wherever the National Government can reach, it should do away with the evils of child Jabor, and I trust this will be done; but much must be done by the actions of the several state Legislatures; and do each of you In your several states all taht you can do to secure the enactment and the enforcement of laws that shall put a stop to the employment of children of tender age in doing what only grown people should do." E JAAPNESE MAKES TREASON ABLE PROPOSAL. Draughtsman Promptly Seizes Him for Police and Has Two Fingers Chewed Off in Struggle. HI .T NeV.. March IO A TonanAA ..-v.- refused to divulge his name, was arrested at RIepetown, a few miles from this city, last night after a hard struggle, in which he succeeded In almost completely chewing off two fingers of Draughtsman Clinton, who was trying to hold him until officers arrived. Clinton, who is an expert draughtsman, was in a saloon when approached by the Japanese, who, after talking on various subjects, finally asked Clinton '" If he would go with him to San Francisco and get drawing of the fortifications there, assuring Clinton he would pay him well. Clinton indignantly refused and held on to the Japanese until officers arrived, hoping to find incriminating evidence. TRAINING RICH CHILDREN Suffered to Grow l"p In Ignorance That They Own Wealth. Denver Republican. An amateur Investigator has discov ered the following instances of the way in which some New York children are made ready to struggle with life: "Think of a girl of 13." she said, "who has been, taught to believe that all her birthday means is the gift of a beautiful pearl from her grandmother. From her very first birthday that fact has been the most Important thing that has happened to mark the anniversary of her entrance into the Joys of this life. "Her grandmother was, like all her family, very rich. It occurs to her that she would like her granddaughter to have a pearl necklace that should be as fine as any that money - could buy. So she hit on the Idea of presenting the child with a superb pearl every year. "In the meantime all the childish Joy or the child's birthday celebration has been made to lie In the acquisition of that pearl. It has for 12 birthdays been the engrossing event of the celebration. "Just what has been or will be the ef fect of making the material part of her string of young years the most Important part It Is not possible to say. To me. as a person Interested In the proper train ing of the young, the Idea seems gro tesquely Inappropriate. "It appears to me that its effect can only be to turn the child's mind to most frivolous and ignoble thoughts. But she may survive it "Almost as singular in its exhibition of a parent's idea of the right sort of In fluence for a child Is the occupation of a 14-year-old boy thai I know. He has been Intrusted by his family with the care of all the social duties of his mother and the other members of the family. ' "He takes charge of all the cards re ceived at the house, sees to it that cards ars sent In return and acts as a sort of social secretary for his sisters as well as for the other older members of the fam ily. They are very much amused by the enthusiasm and cleverness with which he relieves them of all social responsibility. "He is now 14, and that is an age at which seriousness may, without too much emphasis, be allowed to play some part in a boy's life. Yet his parents appar ently think that what he is doing is im portant enough to be allowed to occupy much of the time that should in fact be spent at his books or in some more serious way. "What he will think about when he Is 21 it is not possible to say. Perhaps he will outgrow his obsession with cardboard and stationery. But what will be the fu ture of the 13-year-old girl who was taken to Europe last Summer for her first educational tour? "She-went with her father and mother, and there was scarcely a corner of Eu rope they did- not visit They traveled indeed more than 12.000 miles. They are quite sure about that, for they went in a motot; and they have the record of the trip. "Those 12,000 miles were so divided that the usual speed during all their journey was 40 miles an hour. What a compre hensive idea of Europe that girl must have got on her first educational trip to Europe! How must her youthful imag ination have been stirred by the sight of the strange and quaint sights she saw in those strange lands, traveling at the rate of 40 miles an hour! "With all there is in European travel to stimulate a child's mind If . there be the opportunity to, enjoy what she sees, think of chasing her across foreign coun tries at such a breataieck ' speed! - No wonder she is not able to this day to re call a single scene outside of her expe Tlences on the steamer, which are all she remembers. , "There Is one case," the educator con tinued with an expression that seemed optimistic, "which is such a contrast to what has gone before in this narrative that it almost compensates for the dis couraging conditions of the other cases. "Far up on Fifth avenue in a palatial house dwell two orphan children. They are' heirs to great wealth. One of the historic fortunes of this country is to be divided between them. Yet they are growing up in complete ignorance of what will come to them. "They are surrounded by every luxury. They have horses and servants, and the older boy owns a motor. There are no near relatives, and the fortune is adr ministered by trustees. It is In accord ance with the wishes of their mother, carried out by the trustees, that their education is being conducted as it is. "They are in absolute ignorance of the fact that all they have belongs to them. They think that they are receiving all from the lady who makes her home in the -house with them. They think that she gives, them everything and that their possessions are dependent in a measure on their good behavior. "When they are good she rewards them. When they have not studied or behaved as they should they get none of the good things really bought with their, wealth. "By this method of education they are growing up to believe that they are like all the other children in this world, who get only what they deserve and work for. When the time comes for them to pos sess and administer their own money they will know how to do It. Isn't such a case as this encouraging In the face of so much false education?" ELOPING COUPLE ARRESTED Seaside Youth Deserts Girl He Wrongs Runs Away With Sister. SEASIDE. Or.. March 10. (Special.) Deserting" the young woman he had promised to marry and eloping with her l&-year-old sister, Henry Blunk, once re spected, stands now disgraced and in the shadow of a penitentiary charge unless he makes immediate amends. Excitement was aroused yesterday noon when it was reported taht Miss Millard was missing- from school,, having left her book-? and. wraps behind. Henry Blunk, could not be located. Telephone wires were set humming and it was learned that the two had boarded the train at different points and were bound for Port land. The conductor suspected something wrong and turned the girl over to the matron at the Union depot. Blunk ar rived in a few minutes to claim the girl. He was arrested and both were returned to Seaside. It now developes that Blunk was engaged to marry the Millard girl's sister, and that he will likely be arrested if he falls to keep Ms promise.
