Hprtleulturlut Saya System of Educa tion Turns Pupils Away From Land and Trades. OREOOX AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE, Corvallla. Or.. Jan. 15. Speclal.) W. K. Newell, of Gaston, president of the Ore gon State Board of Horticulture, spoke before the students of the Oregon Ath letic Club short Winter courses here yes terday on "dome Farm Problems,"- dis cussing with the double, view of the scholar and the practical farmer the greater questions which confront the American farmer today. Mr. Newell said In part: "We all know that the result of our system of education haa been to turn not only the attention of the country child away from the farm, but also of the city child away from the practical trades. The Importance of remedying this Is now becoming understood, and we are beginning to make progress In that direction, but In the country we are face to face. In many cases, with the even more difficult problem of the de velopment of the grown-up generation. There is really no way of providing proper training for the young without first educating the parents, and besides we cannot afford to wait upon the slow process of education of the youth for results. We roust have direct action along the lines of better farming, better business and better living. "Those good people in the cities who are so concerned about the 'back to the land' proposition because they are alarmed about the rising prices ef farm products, and are hoping thereby to remedy the difficulty are doomed to grievous disappointment. Prices of farm products are not going to be relatively lower. AH valuea may sag. but the process of readjustment is going to con tinue until the same amount of brains and capital put Into farming will pay the same returns as in oiner lines. Prices of farm products are going to be relatively higher rather than lower. "The great problem Is not how to get people back on the farm, as that will largely take care of Itself if the people are really needed there, but the ques tion Is how to secure better farming and better business" methods particularly bet n.iiwli of distribution. We must depend upon our own efforts to solve this distribution problem. By co-opers-tlon we must be able to distribute ojr products more nearly direct to the con sumer: to ship in large quantities, thus taking advantages of lowest rates: to demand lower rates where present rates are exorbitant: to demand the establish ment of a parcels post system s'mllar to that of Germany, whereby many of the products of the farm can be delivered direct to the consumer In the city and to buy our own supplies at iower rates.

In the latter part of last May Ross sent a certified check for (2300 to the at torney, who Immediately took up the note and paid Stimpson the $2300 In cash, less attorney s fees. Ten days later the check was found to be bogus. The next place was Seattle, where they successfully worked the same deal on the People's Savings Bank, getting 11821.83 In cash. In Tacoma they vic timized the Bank of California by the same methods to the extent of $750. They went to Berkeley following their operations on Puget Sound, but it is not known that they carried on their fraudulent game there. They operated in Nevada early last Fall, defrauding the Bank of Sparks at Sparks, Nev., of $1445 and the Washoe County Bank at Reno, Nev., of $1800. The gang arrived at Walla Walla In October and remained there more than a month. It was in that city where Rose Corelll is first known to have been an accomplice of Thorpe and Ross. She Is said to be a beautiful brunette. While In Walla Walla she represented herself aa an author and to be a dis tant relative of Marie Corelll, the novelist. Mcxiey Lavished on Woman. Through letters of credit of the Waltsburg National Bank, Thorpe and Ross were able to defraud three banks at Walla Walla and to fleece the mer chants. The Baker-Boyer National Bank lost $375. J. L. Elam's bank $400 and the Third National Bank $400. It is estimated that Thorpe secured $5000 worth of diamonds. Jewels and cloth ing, most of which was lavished upon Rose Corelll. From Walla Walla the trio went to La Grande and Baker, but were un able to receive encouragement at either place. From Baker. Thorpe was traced by the detectives to the South. He finally arrived at Hot Springs, Ark., where he was cutting a wide swath at the time of his arrest last Saturday. Thaddeus Tork, who was arrested at Klamath Falls six months ago, aa a suspicious character, la believed by the detectives to be Implicated with Thorpe and Ross In their operations. EVERETT OPERATED IX NORTH Man of Many Aliases Hit Score, in Seattle. SEATTLE. Wash., Jan. 15. (Special.) In the capture by the Plnkerton Detec tive Agency's St. Louis representative on Saturday at Hot Springs. Ark., of C. El Everett, the authorities believe .they have picked up one of the biggest bank swindlers that has operated through the Pacific Coast country in several years. Everett, using nearly a dozen aliases, is said to have taken more than 150.000 from banks In San Francisco, Port land. Tacoma, Seattle, Reno and Sparks, Nev., In the last 18 months. The specific charge on which he was arrested Saturday was the swindling of the People's Savings Bank of Seattle out of between $1800 and $-J00O last Aug ust, in mis city no worked under the aliases of Roy R. Thorpe and George W. Mller. According to the representative of Plnkerton's Detective Agency here, the Merchants National Bank, of Portland, was the heaviest loser. ' Everett, under the alias Roy R. Thorpe. Is said to have made $2300 In one transaction. Seattle detectives say that Everett operated In Portland along virtually the same lines aa in Seattle. Tacoma and other' cities. His success was due to establishing banking relations through the banks' legal counsel, whose confi dence he would gain before Issuing forged checks. SherlfT Robert Hodge will go to Olym pia tomorrow to obtain requisition' papers. The riukertons had trailed Everett T since last October, but were unable to ! gather sufficient Incriminating evidence and a verification or nis identity until they found him at Hot Springs. Cashier Joseph T. Greenleaf. of the People's Savings Bank, while admitting his bank has been victimized by Everett's clever system, declined to discuss the matter In detail last night. Appearing at the People's Bank last August under the name of Roy R. Thorpe, representing himself to be" an Alaska miner, he deposited $500 and asked to be directed to a reputable at torney, as he had a note that he des'red to collect. In this Instance he was sent to Attorney W. W. Thompson, In whose hands he placed a note on some man supposed to be at Ketchikan, Alaska Then going to Alaska himself he Is said to have met the note, paying It under the fictitious name, and obtaining a draft on a New York bank through the Miners' & Merchants' Bank of Ketchi kan. In obtaining this draft from the Ketch ikan bank he obtained the cashier's sig nature, and It Is charged that this sig nature was forged on other-bogus drafts on the New Tork bank which Everett cashed at other cities. Returning to Sonttle from Alaska he received the value of the fictitious note j which he had given the lawyer to col lect, capnea one ox ma uugus ui.ui uu then withdrew hla $500 deposit.

FOES OF FRANCHISE WIN EAST SIDE MEETIXQ REJECTS RAILROAD'S REQUEST. Sleeting; Called to Indorse Mount Hood Company's Plan Takes Opposite Action. Opponents of the proposed franchise over Eaot Side streets asked for by the Mount Hood Railway & Power Com pany won Saturday night at a maps meeting of citizens held In the First UnlvemaJist Church, East Twenty-fourth street and Broadway. The meeting had been called to indorse the franchise, but property owners on Weldler street and others resisted It and at the end. of a three hours' discussion it was voted as the sense of the meeting that the fran chlse be not granted. The vote was 46 against the franchise to 30 for it. The result throws the entire question into the Council for solution. The franchise was read by Frank Mot ter. c. B. Smith, representing the Mount Hood Railway & Power Company, said that the company had already spent $1,000,000 and was engaged In constructing an Interurban railway, but that It would agree to maintain a local streetcar serv ice of eight minutes. William Reidt spoke for the franchise and declared that Portland needed Inter urban carllnea. Mr. Reidt said he owned property on Schuyler street and would give the company $1000 to put Its track on that street. Opposition to the franchise was led by John H. Stevenson, Samuel Q. White, l D. Wolfard and Sidney Smith. Among those who favored it were: Miller Mur dock. Frank Motter. John B. Coffee and C. L. Bos. Councilman Menefee made a brief statement at the close of the long discussion in which he said that he was open to suggestions. The question, he said, was whether or not the company should be allowed to come Into Portland. If any other streets or route conld be selected, he said, he would be glad of the suggestion, but he added that It would be a calamity to prevent the line from coming Into Portland. John H. Stevenson said hs would op pose any streetcar franchise for Holladny Addition and Irvlngton and would fight the franchise In all the courts so long as he bad a dollar. Sidney Smith said that If the Council granted a franchise on Weldler street the property owners would fight It to the bitter end. Maps were difplayed showing the route be tween Bast Eighty-second street and the river, the distance being 90 blocks. Mr, Boss said that of the 90 blocks there was opposition from only 20 blocks. BOYS WEAK ON SEWINS PLAN TO RUB OFF "ROUGH PLACES" OF, NO AVAIL. Chicago Schools Try ' to Make Youngsters Into Seamstresses, but Find Them Skittsh. CHICAGO, Jan. 15. (Special.) The "rough and virile mannerisms" that make for the success of Chicago boys are not to give place to the veneer of Boston boys if Chicago papas and Su perintendent of Schools Ella Flagg Young can prevent. Those schoolteachers the women are under suspicion who thought thex would "rub off the rough places" by having the boys sew articles of dainty white muslin discovered yesterday that neither the fathers nor the superin tendent approved of that method. Mrs. Toung embodied her ideas on the subject in a circular letter sent to the teachers, in which she emphat ically set forth that boys' should not be called upon to make anything with a needle that they would not have use for themselves. If boys must use a needle Instead of a hammer or saw Mrs. Young says she believes they might make such articles as these: Coarse marble bags. ( .. Bags for skates. Carpenters' aprons. Heavy mittens. ' The trouble began some days ago when the course of sewing In the ele mentary grades was opened to boys as well as girls. The boys. It was discov ered, had been put to sewing white muslin. After accomplishing the seemingly impossible task of handling the needle and thimble, the boys went home and "bragged" before fathers who never had conquered those household imple ments. But. contrary to their expectations, the fathers weren't proud of their sons' accomplishments. On the contrary, they indignantly complained to Mrs. Toung, asking why such useless tasks should be set for otherwise manly boys. Goldcndalo Man Sells Farm. GOLDENDALE. Wash., Jan. 15. (Spe cial.)

DAWN OF PEACE IS ' SEEN 0 Men and Women Publicists Declare) United States Would Be Insin . cere in Arming Portals. Cost Also Objection. BOSTON, Jan. 15. A statement em bodying six reasons why the Panama Canal should be neutralized, bearing the signatures of men and women prom inent In the United States and abroad, was made public today. Richard Olney, ex-Secretary of State; David Starr Jordan, president of Leland Stanford, Jr.. University; William Dean Howells, author; Charles P, Anderson, Protestant Episcopal Bishop of Chicago; William H. P. Faunce, president of Brown Uni versity; Jane Addams, of Hull House, Chicago: George II. Holt, Justice of the United States District Court and George Foster Peabody, the New York banker, are among the sponsors of the aocu menr. The statement follows: "Why the Panama Canal should be neutralized, not fortified: "1. Because the canal would be safer in war time without fortiflca tlons. According to the statement signed by the Hague conference In 1907, unfortified coast places cannot be bom barded. Neutrality First Intended. "2. Because the original intention of our Government, as distinctly expressed In 1900 and previously, was to prohibit fortifications on the canal. Though this prohibition was omitted In the finally revised Hay-Paunoefote treaty, signed in 1902, this in no wise implied that we ought to fortify it, nor was its con structlon proposed as primarily a mill tary undertaking. "3. Because though the Suez Canal was built with English money, England agreed to Its neutralization. The Straits of Magellan are also neutralized and the Inter-parliamentary Union In 1910, declared In favor of the neutral ization of ail Inter-oceanlc waterways. "4. Because the United States in all Its history has never been attacked and began every foreign war It ever had. and is too important a customer for any great nation at this late day to wan tonly attack. Canada Line Is Example. "5. Because with the experience of nearly a century's peace with England Insured by our undefended Canadian border line, until we have asked for complete arbitration treaties with all possible future enemies and have been refused, we should be insincere In in creasing our war measures. This Is especially true in view of the fact that since 1902 tho nations have signed 100 arbitration treaties and President Taft has made the impressive declaration that he sees no reason why any ques tion whatever should not be arbitrated that the second Hague conference in various ways diminished the likelihood of war; that not only the prize court. but the court of arbitral Justice is practically assured, and that, in the Bummer of 1910 Congress unanimously passed a resolution asking the Presi dent to appoint a .commission to con sider the utilization of existing agen cies to limit the armaments . of the world by mutual agreement. Expense Would Be Heavy. "6. Because in the words of David J. Foster, chairman of the committee of foreign affairs In the House of Rep resentatives, the initial expense of the necessary fortifications would not be less than $25,000,000; in all probability, it would not be less than $50,000,000 The annual expense of maintaining such fortification 2000 miles from home would probably amount to $5,000,000.
