Portland. Or.. Dec. 2-S. 1909. To the
Taxpayers of School Dlstriot No. 1, Mult

In compliance with law and In accordance
with custom, the board of directors of School
District No. 1, Multnomah County, Or., here
with submits Its annual report, "together
with surti estimates and recommendations
ha in the judgment of the board, should
receive your consideration and favorable
action In order that the schools may be
properly maintained during the coming- year.
The clerk's report exhibits In detail the
receipts and expenses for the year Just clos
ing. An up-to-date high school. modern in
every respect, has been constructed during
the- year In North Alblna. This building
wtll be ready for occupancy at the opening
of the Spring term. February 6. 1910. and
has bn named the Jefferson High School.
A new grammar school was constructed
at Olencoe and one at Rodney avenue and
Knott streets, the latter named the Eliot
School. Additions were made to Alblna
Homestead, Ores ton, Davis. Irvlngton,
Ockley Green. Peninsula and Vernon.
Sprinkler equipments were completely In
stalled in Alblna Homestead, Peninsula and
Richmond Schools.
Real Estate Deals Made.
It was found necessary to purchase real
state as follows: Locations for new schools
at Glencoe, Kenton, Syndicate Addition and
additions to grounds for Jefferson High
School, Brooklyn. Ockley Green and. Penin
uln. The following real estate has been sold:
A part of tilock fl."i. Fulton Park: a par
cel adjoining Greenway, a tract In Stephens
Addition and Williams Avenue School site.
The department of manual arts has been
considerably extended during the year. New
Manual training centers have been estab
lished for boys, and the sewing and cook
ing equipment for girls extended. The
trade school for boys offers popular courses
In electrical construction. carpentry,
jilirmbln g, gasfittlng. mechanical drawing,
machine shop practice, mouldings and pat-4rn-msking.
to which othor courses. In
cluding Macksinlthlng. bricklaying and plas
tering, wtll be added at an early date.
The sdvlslbtllty of holding a Summer ses
sion of the trade school hat; been frequently
called to the attention of the Board, which
now has In contemplation the organization
of special arrangements to meet tliis demand-
An industrial school for girl was
opened In the Atkinson building at the be
ginning of the Fall term, which offers prac
tical courses in rookery and sewing, and is
well patronised.
Night Schools In Demand.
The demand for evening classes Is in
creasing In a marked depree for all lines
ef public school work. Evening classes have
tmar school branches, but since our last
report evsulng classes in rdf:h and trade
trthool oonrses have been so frequently re
quested that they have been established.
"he wisdom of the step has been fmly at
tested In the large attendance; that of the
trade school being especially marked. The
siaintenance of these evening classes makes
extra cost and is probably a permanent Item
tf expanse for the annual budget.
The schools of the district entered and
maintained a display at the Alaska-Tukon-Paciftc
Fx posit I on at Seattle at a cont of
sbout $2600. This display received favor
able mention in press notices and by promi
nent educators at home and abroad, and
captured three gold medals. It is worthy
of note that no other cducatlcnai Institution
exhibiting at this fair received more than
two gold medals. One gold medal was
awarded to each of the following general
educational displays from Portland:
1. Elementary schools.
2. 'High schools.

of these grounds has been delayed . until
streets were made and sewers available.
-lSth are now In, leaving yards below street
Hid in places. For making these grounds
. vaitary and sightly, we are estimating an
Jfel.Hy of SZO.OuO.
Some of the schools are equipped with
wtall lit-rarieti, but th greater number are
ot so fortunate, and are too far from the
1 ublic library to u?e It aa much as we
1 houid like. The Portland Library Asso
rt ttlon has offered to select, care for. dis
tribute and redistribute, and instruct teach
ers and pupils how to select good books and
properly use them if the district will ap
propriate funds for their purchase: title to
these books to remain In the district. This
plan will irthke the best use of whatever
books the rilt rirt may purchase and will
secure for each pupil appropriate literature
under expert supervision. The estimates
here given provide $10,000 for purchase of
library books during the coming year.

Brown Kinds Wife's Threat of Sui
cide Only Covers Flight.
"Good-bye dear you spoke harshly to
me. I could not stand it to be mistrusted
by you. I'm going to leave this world
and you. I only have 28 cents left. That
will take me to h . Good-by for
ever. I suppose now you can have the
merriest Christmas you . ever had be
cause I'm gone. Good-bye. "Vera."
Above is the text of a note written by
Mrs. A. C. Brown, heralding her Intended
suicide to her husband. The shocking
missive was discovered on a table when
the husband returned to the couple's
apartment at 69 North Sixth street short
ly after 11 o'clock last night. The wo
man had gone from their rooms previous
to his coming. All effort to locate her
failed.
The husband became frantic with fear.
Without making an investigation of the
premises he ran to police headquarters,
handed the crumpled note to Captain
Bailey and exclaimed:
"Read it! Read It! My wife Is going
to commit suicide help me!"
Captain Bailey dispatched an officer
to Brown's apartments. He found that
the woman's trunk was missing and
learned that it was taken by an express
man earlier in the day. Reluctantly
Brown, who is an electrician, admitted
that he and his wife had a quarrel re
cently and that she threatened to return
to her parents In Kansas City. Mo.

to catch their breath In order to proceed
with the balance of the act.

6hakeepeare. a a riile. Is rather serious,
but the manner in which Mills and Moulton

a shriek from their appreciative audiences.
A number of catchy melodies are Introduced
during the action of the burlesque, which
add much to its excellence.

JOE OH! REBUKED
FOR HITTING BOY
Judge Bronaugh Holds Detec
tive's Force in Arresting
Was Not Necessary.
DRINKING PRECEDED BLOW
Peace Gaurdian Says He Didn't No
tice Blood on Snowball-Thrower.
Blasphemy Denied by Him.
Lad Put on Probation.
When Detective Joe Day punched lit
tle Harry Adler in the nose in front
of the Oregonian building about two
weeks ago and swore at him for throw
ing two snowballs at women, he used
more force than was necessary, according-
to Juvenile Court Judge Bronaugh's
decision, yesterday.
The newsboy was on trial in the
Juvenile Court for having thrown
snowballs and for resisting apolice of
ficer. He pleaded guilty to the first
charge and was ordered to report to
Chief Probation Officer Teuscher once
a week hereafter. But the judge found
he had provocation for resisting the
detective, and that, while in one sense
the provocation did not justify resist
ance, the boy's age must be taken into
consideration.
"The testimony showed that undue
force had been used in taking the boy
to the statioi.." said Judge Bronaugh.
"How much that undue force was the
cause of his resisting the officer, it
was unnecessary for the court to go
into and no decision was rendered. The
boy pleaded guilty to the first charge,
that of throwing the snowballs, and he
has been turned over to the Juvenile
Court, where he will lose a certain
number of points in his parole. He
was certainly handled more roughly
than was necessary by Detective Day."
Day Admits Drinking.
Day was the first to take the witness
stand. He admitted that about a. half
hour before he arrested young Adler
he took two drinks or whisky at Grif
fin's saloon. He said he saw Adler
throw a snowball, striking a woman
in the face, and that before he could
reach the boy he had thrown another
at a second woman.
"I turned my coat back and showed
him my star," said Day. He said. 'I will
not go with you.' I replied, 'You will.
I then got him by the collar and by the
wrist and had to drag him nearly all
the way down the street. In the mean
time he kicked me on' the shins. When
we got in front of Schiller's cigar
store, at Sixth and Washington streets,
he started to curse, and called me
names.
"He said he would get even with me
and that I would never get him to the
station. When I got him to the station
he said, "When I get out of this I am
going to do you, and I am going to do
you in the dark, too.'
Detective Admits Slap.
'T didn't strike Adler until he began
cursing at Sixth and Washington
streets, then I slapped him over the
mouth. , I didn't see any blood on his
face until I had him at the station.
"When McGuire interfered I told him
I would put him in the station, too.
He asked me why I was arresting the
lad and I Informed him It was none
of his business. He said it was, to
which I replied that I would have to
'hook' him, too, if he persisted in in
terfering. He said he -would, and I
told him to go along with me. I didn't
strike Adler hard enough to bruise
him. I:had a very hard time taking
him to the station. He is quite husky
for his size."
Day admitted that he called Adler
a bad name and that he told him if he
cursed him any more he would "whip
the head off him." Day said If a man
had acted as the boy did he would have
used his club on him.
"If I went out to arrest James Jef
fries, I would probably have to use a
club," said Day.
He Would Arrest Jeffries.
"I don't suppose you would use James
Jeffries as you did this little newsboy,"
said Attorney H. B. Beckett, who had
been appointed by the court to defend
Adler.
"Well, I would carry out my own. idea
as to how he ought to be- handled, and I
would take chances on getting him to the
station someway," answered Day.
J. M- Allen, a streetcar motorman. of
T74 Thurman street, testified that Day
was being given the worst of the Sght
because he was a detective.
Attorney Thomas B. Reed testified that
Day backed Adler up against The Ore
gonian bulletin board, at Sixth and Alder
streets, and, pinning both his amis to
his sides with his right hand, struck him
five or six times in the face with his left
hand. Reed said he did not know Day
to be an officer, and that he told him
twice to stop abusing the lad.
Brutal Language ITsed.
"Shut up, you
I will have
you pinched. I am an officer," was said
by Reed to have been Day's retort. I
didn't think I was entitled to any such
talk' said Reed, "but I curbed my feel
ings and left. I would have said nothing1
at flrst had I known he was an officer.
Not-knowing that. I intended to have him
arrested for abusing: the boy, whose face
was bloody."
Ben Goodman, a newsboy, testified Day
truck Adler in the face without a word
of warning, and that Adler's nose began
to bleed soon afterward. Louis Goldstein,
another newsboy, said Day called Adler
an unprintable name as he dealt him a
blow in the face. Aaron Cohen, a third
newsboy, said he told Harry Adler to go
with Day to the station.
Adler said Day punched him In the
nose, and. that in the fracas a ring on
Day's finger cut the newsboy's lip. He
admitted he kicked the officer in the
shins.
Day Telia of Pledge.
Day became much wrought up over
Reed's testimony, and took the stand
again to tell the court that for 25 years
he had never taken the name of the Deity
in vain. Tie said he made a vow 25 years
ago, which he had never broken.
"I showed my star to Harry." said Day.
"It is no trouble for me to show my star
for $150 a month. I have a boy myself,
and I have overlooked a thousand dif
ferent things because I know what boys
pranks are. You (turning to Attorney
Beckett) are defending this boy for the
buncombe and notoriety which is in this.
I wouldn't walk up to that boy or any
other boy, and deliberately hit him in the
face. I can bring all the chiefs of police in
Portland or any on else, and they will
tell you I am not a brutal character.
Almost any man would slap a boy like
that under- the circumstances.
"I didn't see the blood on Adler's face
until we reached the station. I- didn't
suppose a slap like that would make any
blood.
"In regard to this business of my drink
Ink whisky. X never get drunk. I may
take a drink or two, and then go six
years without taking a drink. I am not
a drunkard. I don't want any misrepre
sentation, but I don't want you to think
that a man 58 years old will go up and
assault a boy like that. I would rather
go and Jump In the river and quit the
business altogether."
BRIDGE AGAIN INDORSED
South Mount Tabor Would Limit
Number of Streetcar Stops.
Resolutions indorsing the movement to
expedite the Broadway bridge' and ex
pressing sympathy with the efforts' of
the North Bast Side Improvement Asso
ciation to that end, were adopted at
the annual meeting of the South Mount
Tabor Improvement Club Monday ni&ht
in the Manual Training building.
It was the sense of the meeting that
this bridge is needed. A committee was
appointed to take up the subject of im
proving the service on the Hawthorne
avenue carline with the Portland Rail
way, Light & Power Company.
The proposal of W. F. Woodward that
streetcars stop at every other instead of
at every street intersection was indorsed.
It was the opinion of the club that much
time would be saved and nobody would
be Inconvenienced if this plan were
adopted. It wa3 thought that it would
be necessary to place signs at street
Intersections where stops are to be made.
The following officials were elected :
President, Dr. Hamilton Meade; vice
president, B. F. Boone; secretary, 3. Kin,
nard; treasurer, A. El McMonles.
GIRL ARRESTED FOR CAUSE

tional divorce suit in the Circuit Court
