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

orary members of the association. A
banquet was served Tuesday evening at
the Commercial Club in honor of the

BIG GRADING CDNTRftCT LET
FORTY-FOOT HILIi AVILIj BE CUT
DOWN.
Property-Owners Will Remove 100,
000 Cubic Varils of Earth to
Make Residence Sites.
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.

WU TALKS IN 101
Chinese Minister Is Speaker at
State University.
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.

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. The board has
leached the conclusion that the organized
militia cannot be fully equipped for field
service for $2,000,000. the limit allowed by

of the members is that the process of
equipment must be carried on for a num
ber of years before it can be completed.

however, the recommendation is made
that, beginning July 1 next. Issues of
equipment under the act be pro rata on
the basis of the organized enlisted
strength of the militia as shown by of
ficial reports. -
General James A. Drain, of the State
of Washington, ( was made chairman of

His Trail.

him down, and that they expect to cap
ture him.

on the fact that he had a knife which
was Identified as the weapon used in
stabbing Mrs. Morrison. He admitted
ownership of the knife, but furnished a
strong alibi and was released.

proof that this knife, which Adair said

Selz Royal Blue shoe
$3.50 and $4.00
SOME men think $3.50 and $4 is enough to pay
for a shoe; if any of those prices fit your pocket,
we'll show you the shoes that will fit your feet, and
suit your ideas of style and finish.
You can pay higher prices for shoes than these
will cost you; and you can pay lower; We advise
you not to do it, when you can buy Selz Royal Blue.
Less money means less quality; more money doesn't
mean more quality.

Don't employ salts or pill cathartics,
forthey violate Nature. Theyirritate
and injure the stomach and bowels.
Nearly all dyspepsia all constipation
is caused by the use of harsh physic.
Cascarets a vegetable laxative have
