Almost a fist fight occurred yester
day In front of the Municipal Court

a Police Court attorney, over the law
yer's pretended right to appear on be
half of James C. La France, accused
of swindling Insurance companies by
substituting the body of another for
his own. Acting upon the prisoner's
assurance that he had authorised no
attorney to appear for him, the state
objected to Cason's acting In the case,
and this brought on a heated argu
ment. Proceeding on the assumption that
La France did not desire to make a
fight, the prosecution was unprepared
yesterdsy when Cason appeared before
Judge Taswell and demanded an Im
mediate hearing. The rase had been
postponed from time to time ever since
La France's arrest, awaiting develop
ments as to where he obtained the
substituted body.
Late yesterday morning a hurried
telephone call was sent to the Court
house to produce the prisoner and the
witnesses against him. On the way
to court La France assured Deputy
Murpby and Thomas Ryan that he had
engaged no attorney, though Cason and
others had solicited him at the County
Jail. Later, upon whispered assur
ances that It would coat him nothing,
he consented to allow Cason to appear
for him, and be was held to the grand
Jury.
Cason threatened to whip Ryan, but

Following an educational trip

resentative club women of Portland

Mr. Plummer was Informed by Mrs.

had taken a vote also for the office of
school director and that the result was
unanimous for himself.
Nearly 100 club women and house
wives, marshaled by the home econ
omics department of the Portland
Woman's Club, responded to the Invi
tation of the Union Meat Company to
personally investigate the main source
of the city's meat supply. The ex

Keen interest In every detail of the
greet plant was shown by the excur

mation. Particular Interest was evinced In
the demonstration given by E. E. Pe
terson, of the Union Meat Company
management, showing the various cuts
of meat, their relative prices and food
values. So many questions were asked
by the women that Advertising Man
ager A. C. Black volunteered to secure
printed pamphlets, with explicit infor
mation and explanatory drawings for
distribution by the home economics de
. ofre whlih was easrerly
accepted by the Investigators into the

Another feature appealing strikingly
to the club women was the Government
Inspection system and Its protection
against tainted and diseased meats. The
women pledged themselves to demand
of their retailers Government-Inspected
meat and discussed the possibility of
securing a state law requiring similar
systematic Inspection as that required
by the Interstate commerce provisions.

TRIBUTE PAID TO LATE
CATHARINE A. COBURN
Tender Tribute, to Pioneers of Northwest, by Late Writer, Di-guiEhlng
Mark of Editorial Page.
PORTLAND. May 82. To the Edi
tor.) Many tender tributes to
-.inneee builders of the Pacific
Northwest flowed from the sympathetic
pen of Mrs. Catherine A. Coburn. late
editorial writer of The Oregonlan.
These writings found grateful weloorae
In the hearts of cereaveo am
and frlenda; cordial regard In the mind
of a wide community. Many years they
were a distinguishing mark of the edi
torial page to wnicn sne comiiouitu.
But they were but one product of her
... ii. .will Th. la t. editor
of The Oregonls-n. Harvey . t-cott.
found her not only a oevotea sisisr.
w .. . .Kl. in.nr.iir. Their close
uui mil " '
association In newspaper work and
their Industry Tor mutual enus not omy
made a newspaper admired and famed;
it left an example and a proof of sen
timent and deed among those who fol
low to make life's course sweeter and
worthier.
Now that Mrs. Coburn has passed on.
she deserves tributes of the kind she
often wrote. The undersigned, like
many others, loved her womanly char
acter and admired her editorial vigor,
and feels Impelled to write these lines,
though modestly confessing the un
equal effort.
c-ir. nf .ii lot it be said. Mrs. Co-
burn was a most faithful mother, the
old-fsshloned kino. wnn miitrau
traits and domestic accomplishments of
highest order. In early youth she
was left a widow with four "hostages
to fortune dependent on her single
handed efforts. She so far over
matched the task that she reared,
trained and educated her children to
womanhood against severe trials and
hardships and then made for herself
a, high place among the upbullders of
the commonwealth. Phe was. Indeed,
"a perfect woman, nobly planned." One
v.. .iirovi her life, "feels fslth In
womankind beating with his blood."
Her suceeeses came without striving
for effect, without ostentation or even
publicity. She tried not for plaudits
nor -career." Her role waa that of a
simple, unaffected woman, day by day
doing the duty next at hand. By her
unconscious charm she made herself
universally loved. A life like hers is
the kind that does real good In the
world.: its Influences are the only ones
we may be sure do not perish. Such
a life leaves behind It that which still
smells sweet and blossoms in the dust.
Her death, though sorrowful, comes
as fulfillment of destiny and as a
crown of a noble life.
The character of Mrs. Coburn was
molded by rigors of long pioneer heri
tage and youthful pioneer training. It
taught her. as her forbears, self-dependence,
frugality. . Industry, Indi
vidual responsibility, resolution, per
severance. In the present day a young
widowed mother would be an object of
pity and help: in her day, such a mis
fortune spurred the mother to achieve
ment for herself and her brood.
Mrs. Coburn had force of character,
determination. feminine gentleness
and grace that marked her as a true
daughter of the now-passed Western
frontier. She possessed keenness of
Intellect and talent for writing, which
made her a moving force in the com
monwealth. Her active mind carried
her reading over a wide field even amid
the stress of every-day home, duties.
Her knowledge of the early struggles
and privations In which Western life
was founded and her wide acquaint
ance with those persons who wrought
in them, enabled her to weave a pa
cullar charm Into the reading of her
day.
Mrs. Coburn's life waa a lovable one:
cheerful amid -heavy sorrows, hopeful
amid severe struggles, successful and
notable against great difficulties, ad
mired widely on this coast. Her place
will be an enduring one among the
leading figures of our commonwealth.
Her last sickness was a period of
long suffering, which she bore with
the sweet pstience that characterized
her whole life Her death is a deep
and abiding sorrow to her family and
relatives. It may be appropriate to
quote a line which she quoted at the
death of her brother In August, 1910:
Deatb but entombs the body; life the soul.

Washington and Idaho were in session
at the First Presbyterian Church yes
terday. The meeting was called with refer
ence to launching a campaign for
standardizing the Sunday schools of
this section. State secretaries present
were: Rev. George T. Pratt, of Se
attle; Rev. R. B. Wright, of Boise; E.
C Knapp. of Spokane, and. Rev. C. A.
Phipps, of Portland. The congrega
tlonalista were represented by Rev.

J. H. Matthews, of Seattle, and Rev.
H. N. Smith, of Portland; Baptists, Rev.
J. D. Sprlngston, of Portland, and Pres
byterians by Rev. W. O. Forbes, of Se
attle: Rev. J. D. Mllllgan, of Portland,
and Rev. A. M. Williams, of Portland.
Mr. Williams was made chairman of
the conference and E. C. Knapp. of
Spokane, secretary.
The conference decided to unite on a
common standard, for Sunday school
organization which was agreed upon
tentatively by the international execu
tive committee and the Sunday school
council of evangelical denominations in
conference at Dayton. Ohio, in
January. Heretofore, each denomina
tion has had Its own standard and each
state association a separate standard.
This resulted in much confusion among
workers.
According to the new standard ten
points will be required to meet the
demands of the denominational boards
and three additional points to take care
of the international work. The ten
points are:
1. Cradle rolL
2. Home department.
. Organized Bible classes In secondary
