orders issued yesterday calling for the

and refused. Dr. Eaton charged the Spo-

Klrla free trips from Spokane to the ex
position If they would secure BO member,
to the club, and In this way It is claimed
many names were secured with which to
pad the membership list.
"These suspicious conditions demand an
nvestlgation." said Dr. Eaton, "before
it is wise to allow the Spokane club
"fV to' elat In the convention.
Their padded list was secured by bribes.?
Spokane Should "Clean House."
In her concluding remarks Dr. Eaton
directed her address to the Spokane dele
gation: "Go back to SDokn " .. ,
"and clean house, and then come back
.th5 convention next year, and there
'""HI b Beats for your delegates."
Disregarding the several Interruptions to
which the speaker was subjected, she
continued, and was greetted with ap
plause aa she concluded.
D. C. Coates, of Spokane, took the floor
and eald in reply:
"If the statement you have just ap
plauded were true I would applaud with
you." At this Juncture Mr. Coates was
greeted with hisses from the audience and
for some time was unable to proceed
When finally a semblance of order pre
vailed he continued:
"Were this an audience of men I would
know how to reply to those hisses, but
among ladles I am powerless.
"We have worked for the cause of
equal suffrage. We have offered our
dues to the state society. We have spent
hundreds of dollars in entertaining the
National and state delegates in Spokane
and yet we are told we are not wanted
here today. Let us get away from these
narrow-minded policies and all work in
harmony for the cause.
Letters Not Read.
"I have letters in my possession that
would cause the writer to change the at
titude she has just taken."
"Read them," "read them," came the
cries from the audience. But Mr. Coates
replied:
"I vflll not read them without the con
sent of Dr. ICaton and Mrs .Hutton '
Mrs. May Arkrlght Hutton. president
of the Spokane Woman Suffrage Asso
ciation, then intervened.
"I wlll not allow these letters to be

"Put them out." "Let them stay," were
the verbal volleys exchanged for some
time, until Mrs. Devoe, with both hands
in the air an attitude she had held much
of the time, asked the representatives of
the press to retire.
Mrs. Devoe Re-elected.
They complied and left the fightinsr fac
tions still in combat. As they left the
church they met the police going in. By
this time most of the convention was in
tears.
After hearing from both sides the ques

they were unseated and refused to re

withdrew.

BABESll INSTITUTION
LITTLE TOTS FOUND IN CALL
FORNIA REFORM SCHOOL.
Chanjte In State Laws to Prevent
Sending of Minors to Place
AVill Be Soon Asked.
SACRAMENTO. Cal., June 30. Secre
tary B. B. Deming. of the State Board of
Examiners, returned from Los Angeles
today with a sensational story concern
ing the Whlttlter Reform School, which
he had been instructed by the Governor
to investigate.
He does not criticise the management
itseii, nut ne says little children of both
sexes are sent there to associate with
the depraved. The next Legislature will
be asked to pass a law prohibiting the
sentencing of small children to reform
schools. In one instance he found two
little boys, one 6 and the other 7 years
old, sent to the reform school because
they happened to be with their father
when he robbed a butcher shop.
On the ground, that these boys were in
the company of criminals, they ' were
sentenced to the reform school. A paral
lel case was found in the situation of
three girls, two of them but little older
than 10 years. Their only offense was In
not having any home.
BOY ACCUSED OF ROBBERY
Arnold Bliss Said to Have Stolen
$20 0 Prom Logger.
Two detectives working under the di
rection of Captain Baty last night
brought to light what is believed to be
an astounding case of youthful criminal
ity and which resulted In the arrest of
Arnold Bliss, a 13-year-old newsboy, who
lives at 487 Davis street. The alleged
youthful Fagin is accused of taking
Henry Carson, a drunken logger. Into a
room In a lodging-house at Sixth and
Flanders street on Tuesday night and
robbing him or over $300 in money.
Carson, sober and frantic over his loss,
reported the affair to the police yester
day morning. He said thai, he had met
the newsboy on the street and. believing
that he was safe in the company of one
so young, had permitted the boy to guide
him to a room. When he awoke he found
his money had disappeared. The officers
learned from the landlord of the house
that the boy had been seen entering Car
son's room on three different occasions
on Tuesday night.
The youngster admitted to the police
that he had taken 40 cents, but denied all
knowledge of the large amount. When
pressed by the detectives, however, he
made admissions which involved another
boy. and this may lead to a second ar
rest. The Bliss boy was held at the City
Jail last night for the Juvenile Court. He
has been in trouble before, having been
at the Reform School. The charge
against him at that time was being a
truant from the Ladd School. The boy's
father Is David Bliss, an employe of a
Sixth-street cafe.

will be rowed, there is an advnntae-n tr

the Thames. Yale won t'ne toss In the
freshman event and took the east side
in that contest, which will be rowed from

Harvard won the two lesser events of

The two varsity crews will line up
under the drawbridge at 6 P. M., and
will start on their four-mile journey up
stream to the finish off Bartles Cove.
The record for the course is 20 minutes

made by Yale 21 years ago. In today's

Lane Fails to Sign Light Contract.
Although he had until midnight last

ex-Mayor, refused to sign the contract
between the city and the Portland Rail

meeting held on Tuesday of last week,
the Executive Board entered Into a five
year contract with the street railway
company for this service, and at the

It necessary for Mayor Simon to validate
an agreement executed by a committee

Board.
