THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY. JUNE 18, 1903. TAKE ISSUE WITH THE VEGETARIANS Dentists Say Exclusive Meat Diet Makes Animals III . at Times. STATE ASSOCIATION MEETS dumber of Interesting: Papers Kead, JIlutralctl With Stereopticon. fifty New Members' in the Society. Dentists disagreed with vegetarians and openly threw down tlie gauntlet of dis cussion to many others who believe in various creeds and theories at the 15th annual convention of the Oregon State Dental Association yesterday. They contended that animals, including the human race, which live upon an ex clusive diet are more subject to the ravages of -disease than others. They also contended that domestic and caged ani mals show diseased conditions much more pronounced and in far greater degree than those living In their natural state or habitat. t These views were demonstrated not only orally but by means of moving pictures and lantern slides which showed views of various animals under various conditions. Papers were read and ad dresses deliverer! upholding the theories of the dentists and they were emphatic in their beliefs. The convention came to a close yester day afternoon after having been in ses sion since Monday morning. It Is re garded as the most successful and in structive in the history of the associa tion. More than 150 practicing dentists from various parts of the state were tn attendance and of that number one lialf came from other parts of the state than Portland. . Kitty new members were admitted into membership and an active campaign to induce all dentists in good standing in the entire state to affiliate witli the or ganization was outlined. The convention was held in the offices of the City and County Medical Society, second floor of the Medical building, Park and Alder streets. On the first floor there were demonstrations and exhibits by various manufacturers and dealers from all parts of the country. A distinct feature of the convention and one of the most interesting was the pic ture demonstration yesterday showing the effects of various foods and diets upon different kinds of animals. The condi tion of teeth, it was shown, has much to do with the conditions of men and animals and dentists agreed that a mixed diet is far better than an exclusive diet. In the same connection it was shown that civilization plays havoc with the teeth. This is due. It was explained, to the pre paration of food under civilized condi tions. The regular business of the convention was transacted yesterday and officers were also elected. Following is a list of the officers who will serve the associa tion during the coming year: President, A. L. Beatle, of Oregon City; vice-president. M. C. Harris, of Eugene; secretary treasurer, Millard C. Holbrook, of Port land. Committees were appointed as follows: Executive. Jean Cline, E. Hirstel, J. Yates and W.

One of the most significant pieces of work in the line of grading on Portland Heights was definitely decided upon yes terday. Contract was let for the cut of a 40-foot hill east of Sixteenth street, from Jackson street south to Myrtle. In com pleting this work 100.000 cubic yarda of earth will be removed and a new sec tion opened up for residence sites. At present there are no houses on the east side of Sixteenth street in that section, the hill now to be removed having been an obstruction to building operations. Those interested in having this work done are: Nottingham & Co., Judge C. U. Gantenbein, M. Biddie Wells, Mrs. A. H. Breyman. M. B. Rankin and Dr. A. W. Chance. Steam shovels and don key engines will be used in doing the work, and the contractors will begin making the cut and grade within the next few days. - A rumor current on the streets yes terday that L. B. Menefee. a recent arrival in Portland from Texas, and who has bought Heights property both. for a residence site and other pieces as in vestments, had closed a deal for a large tract on King's Heights, is found to be unverified. D. El Keasey was asked last night concerning the deal, atnd said the report is unfounded. G. F. Heusner and C. H. Carey pur chased a few years ago the half block on the north side of Qtilmby street be tween Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets as an investment. W. C. Holman and Dr. A. S. Nichols have bought the piece, the reported price being $25,000. This is a handsome advance over the last pur chase price. W. H. Moore reports the sale of a resi dence on the west side of Bast Eleventh street, between Alder and Washington, to E. L. Bnrnett, a former resident of Weston. The consideration is tUMU. SPEAKS TO CREDIT MEN S. 1. L.ockx)od Discusses Various Kornis of Insurance. S. P. Lockwood addressed the Port land Association of Credit Men last night at its regular monthly meeting, held in the convention hall of the Commercial Club. He discussed life insurance, and after tracing its origin and history, referred to the magnitude of its growth. As an example on that point, he said that one industrial com pany had on its list of policyholders a number equal to one-tenth of the pop ulation of the United States. There never had been a failure of a purely mutual company, he said. He advo cated partnership life insurance, where partners in business take out policies for the benefit of the other partners. He cautioned the credit men about tak ing transfer of policies as security, for one reason,- that laws in different states were such as to render transfer inimical to Rood business procedure. Election of officers will take place at the next regular meeting in July. Arrangements are being1 perfected to. meet the delegates from Seattle, who' are coming to Portland tomorrow to join delegates from this city to the convention to be held in Denver. The two delegations will travel in a special car, and expect to stop en route at Salt Lake City. GIRLS RECEIVE DIPLOMAS SCHOOL YEAR EXDS AT ST. MARY'S ACAIEMV.

TRIBUTE PAID AMERICA Diplomat Says Students of His Race Educated in This Country Con Mllute Bond of 1iiiou Be tween Two Nations. IOWA CITY, la.. June 17. Wu Ting Fang, Chinese Minister to the United States at Washington, addressed the University of Iowa on "Chinese Stu dents in America" today. In part he said: In the past decadee hundreds and thou sands cf our youth, the flower of the NatUm, have proceeded In a continuous stream to foreign countries In the footsteps of the men who have given birth to a new Japan. Eng land, Germany, France, Russia and Japan, but above all this country, have witnessed a large in pour of our students to the colleges tnd universities. "Meikuo," our eupho nious name for the United States of America, has a social fascination for our earnest and enthusiastic students, who look to it as the Mohammedans look: to Mecca. The foremost nation In many ways and especially in edu cational advantages, America attracts our young men to her Fhorea, inspiring them with "a yearning like the yearning of a wave for the shore .ietched before It.". Will Exert Great Influence. If you ask me who will exert the greatest influence in domestic and foreign policy in the next few decades, I have no hesitation: "Our young men who have been and are be ing educated in the colleges of America. " It is the case that before such a student graduate, this viceroy or that, this minister or other, senls him a cablegram pre-empting his eervicee and inducing his acceptance of an engagement with an offer of a handsome salary. With the door to official life in my country open wide to the graduates from your uni versities, with increased confidence in their character and ability, the numerous under takings Initiated by my government towards the birth of a new China, undertakings which can be successfully carried out on with the leadership and advice of my countrymen trained in the West, am I not right in eayln that thefle same will exert very great in fluence in the future policy of China? In the hundreds' of my countrymen that went and are going through the college halls of this country there exists a bond of union between China and America that is mightier than treaties end alliances. As some one has said, our American educated young men constitute a bridge across the broad expanse of the Pacific Ocean on which American learning. American ideals, American institu tions. American inventions, American prod ucts and manufactures are conveyed. "Will Assure Peace. They will be able to insure peace and ob tain for the Far East what treaties and military forces cannot insure. In just one word, these students will be the effective Instruments, who, through American educa tion, can exert its wonderful influence upon a new China. Every Chinese student in this country constitutes a bond of peace between the two countries. I am glad, therefore, that your halLs of learning have eo warmly welcomed our young men. I am glad that our students are doing o splendidly in this country and have won golden opinions from your foremost educators. Mark my words, from tha day on the most friendly and intimate relations will always continue to exist between the two countries and in the effecting of this highly desirable consummation a large part of the credit will be due to the Chinese studenta now studying in ynur schools and colleges. JAPAN TIRES OF BOYCOTT EFFORT MADE TO REGAIX CHI NESE TRADE. Portland Oriental Receives Word That Large Amount Is Offered for Removal of Ban. Private advices have been received in Portland to the effect that an effort has been made to check the Chinese boycott of Japanese goods by Chinese mer chants located in Japan. . Chin Sin, a Chinese capitalist of this city, is authority for the statement that four emissaries from lokohama, Chi nese prominent in the manufacturing worid, have gone to Canton, where the headquarters of the Ai Ja Git Fa or Japanese Boycott Society, are situated, in an effort to arrange terms under which the boycott may be called off. According to- the advices received by Chin Sin an offer of $400,000 has been made to Chin Ft Poo, who is a relative of his and the president of this so ciety, if lie will use his influence in persuading Ihe Chinese again to pa tronize Japanese- industries. That this effort will be futile is the foregone conclusion of local Chinese, says Chin Sin. y The extent to which this boycott has spread throughout the world is difficult to realize in this country where Chinese have little use for Japanese goods, says Sin. Letters received by him as well as by other Chinese, among them Moy Bak Hln, the local Chinese consul, and Lee Hong, a wholesale and retail mer chant at 129 Second street, say that hundreds of Japanese factories have closed down, throwing thousands of men out of work. Cargoes sent to China have been returned untouched. China is the principal market the Jap anese have for their products, espe cially textiles. With this market closed to them the manufacturing industries are said to be in an extremely bad way. That there has been any actual suffer ing on the part of the Japanese labor ing classes has not yet been reported here, still local Chinese say, and it is admitted at the Japanese consulate, that if the boycott keeps up much, longer there will be a panic in Japan the like of which has never before been known irf that empire. Some idea of the thoroughness of the cessation of trade relations between the two countries may be gained from the fact that Japanese tea houses and baths in Canton have been closed by the score. Not only have the necessities, the staple articles of commerce lost their market, but the luxuries as well. Anything that has been made in Japan comes under the ban, and loyal Chinese will not touch it. Chin Sin states that the real purpose of the boycott was to force Japan into a war with China. Since the Japanese occupation of Manchuria, he says that the bad feeling between the two na tions has been steadily growing. The Japanese indignities which the Man churians have been obliged to endure, coupled with the knowledge that Japan was popularly thought to be plotting to take this rich country for her own, has caused an increasing hatred -to spring up and smolder, which the Tatsu Maru incident fanned into a blaze. Both sides realize that a conflict is inevitable some time, yet the more con servative element in each nati.A knows that its country ts not yet ready for war. Japan is suffering from the heavy debt' imposed by the late war with Russia and . China realizes that her fighting forces are not yet sufficiently strong to enter into combat with a na tion of soldiers like the Japanese. There Is a large party of radical Chi nese, however, with whom the Chinese in this country have great sympathy, who think that China is ready for war now, and (this element "is responsible for the boycott, ostensibly with a view to hurting Japan commercially, but really with the hope of precipitating a conflict. It is clear that Japan cannot much longer afford to be deprived of the main outlet for her products. Moy Bak Hin, the local consul, is authority for the statement, though, that the element which wants war Is possessed of a dogged determination to force a con flict. There is an equally strong deter mination of Japan to prevent it if pos sible, and this causes a deadlock the result of which no man can predict. YOUNG OFFENDERS CAUGHT Boys Found Communing Depreda tions at Milwaukle. OREGON CTr, Or.. June 17. (Spe cial.)

MORE MONEY IS NEEDED Entire 31ilitia Cannot Be Fully Equipped for $2,000,000. WASHINGTON. June 17. The military board appointed by the Secretary of War under the recent act of Congress, providing for reorganization of the mili tia of the states and territories, com pleted its work today.
