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."

Portland in the T. M. e. A. auditorium

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.
