'i ' , i TELL PITIFUL TALE Children' Say They Were Mis treated at Sanitarium. WITHOUT BATH FOR MONTH Charge Taken From St. Theresa Institution Hare Severe Colds mid May Have Contracted Consumption "While There. Mary and Margaret Hays, two little slrls who have been living at the St. Theresa Sanitarium, near OiUc Grove, Finee early last Fall, have severe colds, and if they have not contracted tubercu losis from the patients in the advanced stages of the disease who have been sent there, it is because their healthy little bodies have been able to throw off the infection. "Why. the sisters wouldn't wash our heads, nor give us a bath, for a Ions, long lime." eaid 9-year-old Mary, yesterday. "Margaret and J went a whole month without a bath, and they wouldn't stive us clean underwear or anything for two or threw weeks." As she talked her little sister, two years younger.- sat in beside her. coughing. "The two children were allowed by the officials of the Boys' and Girls' Aid So ciety to remain In the care of their father last year," said the matron yesterday. "He told us of the place out there, and we thought it was a SLsters' school, so we let the children go, although they did not go from here." The children have been taken to the Boys' and Girls' Aid Society by Superin tendent Gardner. When an Oregonian re porter called to see them yesterday after noon, they had gone out for a walk. James Stafness, who is about Mary's age. and who lived at the sanitarium for about a week, had not gone out with the other children, however. He said, with some diffidence, that he was kept at work by the Sisters piling wood out in the rain, and doing chores. He did not stay there long enough to go to school. In a little while Mary came In with her sister. She said that last Fall, when she and her sister went' to the sanitarium, there were two patients there, one of whom had consumption, and the other a sore foot. "Then Mr. and Mrs. Bacum and Leona Bacum came," she said, "and lived in a tent. Mr. Bacum died of consumption, and aff?r that Mrs. Bacum said she was going to live right near his grave, and after a while take him and have him buried sometvhere else. "Then Mabel Thomas came and stayed there a month. But she began to tell her mamma things, and so the sisters sent her home. That's what the sisters Bald. "After that Mr. Daly came, and Mr. Foley, and just before we left there was a new man. The most of them had con sumption. "We went to school a part of the time, sometimes a day or two a week. Some times Margaret would go to town in the morning with one of the sisters, and would go to school n the afternoon, and sometimes she would so to school"-in the morning, and go to town In the after- I noon. . - i Mary was asked about Alice Clara May. usually known as Clara. She said that Clara is 13 years old. "Sometimes Clara washed the clothes and sometimes the sister - did it," said Mary. "Clara washed the dishes, but two or three times I washed the dishes for the sick people. We didn't sleep in the cot tage, but in a little building away from the house. Two of the eiek people lived in the stable, one was in a tent, and the rest of them were in the cottage. - "The food was all cooked at tho cot tage, and then they sent ours down to us, and we ate it at the little house. We had potatoes and sometimes hash. ' If we didn't want it we left it, and then we had to eat It the next time. They used to get three quarts of milk a day. - but I didn't get any of it. I like it better here because I get milk to drink sometimes. And I used to have to go for the 'milk in the cold. Of course, when the snow was on the ground, they had a man to go for it then. - "One of the sisters was giving me les sons on the piano for a while, but pretty soon she said that my fingers were too stiff to practice. When they made me work I told them that papa was paying for us. and that they ought to send tis to school." W. T. Olds to Speak. W. P. Olds will talk to the boys of Portland in the T. M. e.

' - PHONES OPEN SOON Quick Progress Made in Work of Repairing Switchboard. MEN LABOR IN HOT BLAST Experts, Lightly Clad, Connect New Lines While Scorching Air Dries -Out Board Four Thou sand Lines Ready. Wearing no more clothing than the law deems necessary, and possibly not quite as much, 70 men labored all day yesterday in a scorching breeze produced by electric heaters and fans, repairing the damage done to the main telephone switchboard by fire last week. The un comfortable conditions were necessary to expedite the drying out of the ruined switchboard, which was thoroughly wet down by the firemen in extinguishing the blaze. The men worked in shifts of two dozen each, relieving each other when ever the heat became too great for one shift to bear. As a result of this effort more than 4000 phones had been restored to full service last night and the outlook for a return to full service was excel lent. The fact that a new toll-board was being placed in the main office of the Pacific States Telephone & Telegraph Company's exchange is responsible for the rapid approach the service is mak ing to the normal. Using a trunk board, the officials have been able to see that every subscriber's calls are attended to. The method adopted is similar to that by which a Main subscriber at present calls an East Side number, the call go ina through the hands of a second op erior. As there are only a limited num ber of trunks at the disposal of sub scribers, a full service cannot be given until Tuesday morning. The oldest sub scribers and those in the business dis tricts received first attention by reason of the fact that their numbers were the earliest recorded. The theory is still held that a couple of wires crossed .and short-circuited, and there is no suggestion of incendiarism. The precise loss cannot be - calculated, but the greatest amount is not in the actual damage, but in the labor necessary to restore the service and in the loss to subscribers?. v The addition of the "hospital board" tomorrow to service will make a fur ther improvement. Nearly 11.000 tele phones were affected by the blaze and the fact that over half of those are now connected speaks well for the efficiency of the workers. Trained men have been called in from the other districts and with the heavy special staff, every man that tnere was room lor was working. Although the Sunday service is not usually heavy, it appeared last night as if every subscriber in Portland wished the use of his telephone, by the way the myriaa rea ana wnite lights were flash ing. By tomorrow morning every light will have instant attention and instead of being informed that the "service is delayed owing to the fire." subscribers will again hear the familiar "Number, please." ESTATE IS TO BUILD Van Schuyver Heirs Plan Of fice Building Uptown. HAVE FAITH, IN DISTRICT Brick or Concrete Construction to Be Used, and Work Will Com mence Within Two or Three Months. The W. J. "Van Schuyver estate is plan ning tire erection of a brick or concrete building on the ' northwest corner of Twelfth and Washington streets. Plans are now. be.ing drawn, and it is said that construction will be under way in the course of a couple of months. W. O. Van Schuyver is manager of the estate for the heirs of W. J. Van Schuyver, who died two months ago. As the heirs consist solely of the family of the deceased wholesale liquor dealer, it is not anticipated that there will be any especial difficulty in arranging the details. The plans call for an office building with stores on the ground floor, but it has not yet been decided as to prccilv J what height the building will go. This is a matter to be decided by the heirs in . conference as soon as they come to gether in Portland. Mr. Van Schuyver said that It was with a certain amount of trepidation that he was planning the improvement of what Is at present an uptown site, but that he believed the faith he had in the district would be justified very shortly. The improvement is an indication of the up town trend of the buiMing movement. 231 WASHINGTON ST. PORTLAND OREGON. MAKER OF MENS C10TH 4
