    THE MORNING OREGONIAN. THURSDAY, JULY 10,
JUDGEGATEHSWARS
OH PSYCHOLOGIST
Sharp Tilt Arises in Confer
ence of Charities at
Seattle Sessions.
JUVENILE COURT SCORED
"Most or Officers Are There Because
They Are Holding Down Their
Jobs' and Portland Man Says
It Matters Xot If He Iioses.
SEATTLE. Wash, July 9. (Special.)
A Juvenile Court Judge and the su
perintendent of a training school de
clared they had no use for such Insti
tutions today at the session of "chil
dren" of the Conference of Charities
and Correction In the lecture-room of
Plymouth Church. The remarks start
ed one of the most spirited tilts of the
sessions yet.
Judge Gatens, of the Juvenile Court
of Portland, started the fray when he
declared war on the psychologist em
ployed in courts.
"The psychologist," said he. "tells a
boy he is bad and, of course, he is bad.
You tell a boy he Is good and he is
good. Now anyone can tell to look at
a boy what he Is like. Fancy having a
man rooting around over you and tell
ing you that you were defective. That
is the trouble with these scientists. I
worked In an insane asylum for many
years myself and to those scientists
there there wasn't a sane person in the
world. And the trouble with the psy
chologist Is he has no remedy to offer.
Small Salary Halts Not Jurist.
"I tell you right now I have it in for
these psychologists and I havn't much
use for Juvenile Courts anyway. Most
of the officers are there because they
are holding down their jobs. I get such
a small salry myself that It doesn't
matter if I lose my Job, so I can tell
the truth. And the most outrageous
institution on the face of the earth is a
state .training school."
"I think there are some who want to
come back at you," said Chairman
Henry V. Thurston, of New York.
The first on the floor was Judge
Frater, of the King County Juvenile
Court. Judge Frater gave a brief
history of the struggles of the court
to handle the problem of the delinquent
child to that child's best advantage and
the aid the psychologist was in this
work.
"Suppose he tells you what ails a
child," interrupted Judge Gatens. "What
are you going to do about it?"
Individual Xwdi Important.
"Do what the individual needs of the
child requires with the facilities you
have at hand." replied his brother of
the court. "That is for you to decide.
Judge, that Is your business."
"Well, I'm sure I don't know what to
do with them," said Judge Gatens.
"Then hand over your Job to some
body that does," snapped Judge Fra
ter, and sat down amidst great ap
plause. Superintendent Claud Asplnwall, of
the State Training School at Chehalis,
said he agreed with Judge Gatens in
some particulars and that the more he
saw of the State Training School the
less he thought , of such Institutions,
but added the saving clause "for nor
mal children."
Dr. John Adams Colllver. medical
probation officer of the Juvenile Court
of Los Angeles, next defended his
honor, it having been his speech of the
day before that had aroused Judge Ga
tens. Dr. Colllver said as for officers
merely wanting to keep their Jobs, he
was giving his time to this work with
out any pay and that such was true In
the majority of cases, as no doctor re
ceived in such work a salary that
would pay him for the practice he was
losing.
pied, of San Francisco, on the Immi
grant survey of the Pacific Coast cities
has created so much Interest and dis
cussion among the delegates that an
extra session will be held tomorrow
to consider distribution and assimili
ation of European immigrants and Ori
ental Immigration and Its relation to
the land.
The rearing of dependent children
in foster homes or as it rs familiarly
known in charitable circles "the plac
ing out system," was strongly rec
ommended by Judge Everett Smith, of
Seattle. Judge Smith laid the blame
for the greater number of dependent
children In the Pactflc Northwest upon
the divorce evil.

Federal patronage for the state was

tional Committeeman John Pattlson.
of Spokane. The offices considered
were collector of internal revenue,
shipping commissioner. Land Office
Jobs in several headquarters and a
number of small postmasterships. The
two denied that they discussed the
local postmastership or the District
Attorneyship. So far as the state or
ganization is concerned, they said,
these matters are closed.
For collector of Internal revenue
were mentioned D. J. Williams, of
Tacoma; Fred Baldwin, of Spokane:
Gwln Hicks, of Tacoma, and J. D. Kin
cald, of Palouse.'
For shipping commissioner these
were candidates: William Walsh, of
Tacoma; Captain Russell, of Seattle,
and George A. Anderson, of Tacoma.
George H. Ryan, for years secretary
of most of the Democratic organizations
hereabouts, is credited in Democratic
circles with having received an offer
from Governor Lister of an important
berth in his administration, but Ryan
is not ready to accept it and his friends
do not want him to do so. At present
Ryan is the only generally recognized
candidate for United States Marshal In
the Western Washington District and
the organization is behind him strong.
Anti-organization Democrats have not
put any obstacles In Ryan's way thus
far and it is uncertain whether or not
they will do so. - ,
United States Marshal Jacoby has
had a "hunch" ever since election that
he would be elbowed out of his Job
before his time expires and in Demo
cratic circles the same impression pre
vails. Democratic leaders believe that a
change in the Seattle Assay Office
may occur soon. Will H. Dunn is cred
ited with the support of a majority of

ELKS TO BUILD HOME
PLACE NOT DECIDED FOR NEW
$2 6(,00 0 STRUCTURE.
National Home Committee Will Say
Whether Bedford Shall Remain
Seat of Institution.
ROCHESTER, N. T.. July 9.. The
Grand Lodge of Elks. In 49th reunion
here today, accepted the $260,000 bid
of a Salt Lake contractor and will build I
a new National home. Whether the
home shall be on fhe site of the pres
ent home, in Bedford, Va., or elsewhere
rests with the National Home Com
mission, of which Garry Herrmann, of
Cincinnati, is chairman.
Discussion of the report of Mr. Herr
mann on plans for the home occupied
all the afternoon session. For three
consecutive years the Commission has
been reported in favor of erecting the
home on the old site. This year a
movement was launched In favor of its
erection at some other place. The only
expressed objection to the present site
Is that the inmates are Isolated and be
come lonesome.
The Bedford home has been In ex
istence ten years. Bedford, Ind., today
offered a $250,000 site to the grand
lodge.
A per capita tax of 25 cents will be
levied on the members of subordinate
lodges, giving approximately $105,000
to apply on the cost of the new home.
Charles A. White, of Chicago Lodge,
was elected grand treasurer of the
Elks today. All other candidates with
drew. The programme of entertainment to
day consisted of sailing yacht and
motorboat racing, a barbecue, pyro
technic displays at Ontario Park to
night, sightseeing trips and band con
certs throughout the day.
PORTLAND WILD RECIPROCATE
Local Elks Want to Be Well Repre
sented in Denrer.
"We'll all have to go to Denver next
year. That's a cinch."
Such was the sentiment that found
universal expression around the Elks'
Club yesterday when it was learned
that Denver had been selected as the
grand lodge convention city In 1914.
Denver sent three special trains to
the Portland convention last Summer,
bringing big delegations from every
lodge in Colorado, and Portland wants
to do something now in the way of
reciprocity.
The relatively easy distance between
Portland and Denver and the fact that
many Portland Elks formerly lived In
Denver makes the trip next Summer
desirable and especially probable.
As soon as the Portland delegates
get back from the Rochester conven
tion It is probable that an organized
movement to send at least one special
train from Portland to the convention
next year will be started.
SOCIALISTS' TRIAL OPENS
Port landers Face Charge ot Rioting

prosecution. The trial will be con
tinued tomorrow. A number of Port
land Socialists were in the courtroom
to hear the proceedings. Foremen from
the paper mills identified the prisoners
as the men who led the rioting.

CITY TREASURER
MAY BE DEFENDANT
The Dalles Deadlock Causes
Barnett to Refuse to Cash
City Warrants.
COMPLICATIONS COME FAST
Banks Decline to Honor Payment on
- 3 Warrants, Signed by Recorder
Boss, Despite Fact That New
Mayor, " Too, Had Signed.
. THE DALLES, Or.. July 9. (Special.)
J. E. Barnett, City Treasurer, Is
threatened wit being compelled to
CHOSEN BY ELKS' GRAND LODGE
appear In the courts as a defendant.
This is the latest development in the
deadlock between Mayor Anderson and
the members of the City Council over
the matter of the executive's appoint
ments, which the Aldermen refused to
confirm Monday night.
Barnett, acting on the instruction of
the Mayor, announced today that he
would not cash city warrants unless
signed by L. H. Arneson, who was ap
pointed City Recorder by Mayor Ander
son, but who failed to receive the con
firmation at the hands of the Council.
W. H. Wrllson, . City Attorney, de
nounced the position of Anderson and
Barnett and emphatically declared that
if Barnett should reject a single war
rant, on ground of Its not being signed
by Arenson, he would sue and compel
the Treasurer to cash the warrant,
adding that Barnett would have to pay
personally the costs of the legal action
besides.
Power I7p o Council.
The Council has only power to order
the issuance of warrants, and in so
doing authorizes the Mayor and - Re
corder to Issue and sign them. It is
contended that no one, except the
Council, can order payment stopped on
the warrant, and that Barnett must
cash them when properly presented to
him, or be liable for all costs of legal
proceedings to compel him to honor
the warrants.
Following the announcement of Bar
nett" today that he would not honor
warrants without Arneson's signature,
the banks here refused payment on
three warrants, which were signed by
Recorder Ross and Mayor Anderson, to
three members of City Engineer
White's gang, who were laid off. The
Mayor did not hesitate to place his
signature to them, and it was not un
til the banks refused to cash the war
rants that the position of the Mayor
and Treasurer became known to the
other city officials.
However, J. B. Crossen, Water Super
intendent, cashed the warrants for the
three workmen.
Issue Due Soon.
Learning- nt tit atirm
. Aiio.j-ur An
derson visited the superintendent, took
....c warrant ana Ml Arneson sign
them. Then Anderson returned them
to Crossen, wiht the instructions that
If he cash any more without Arneson's
signature he would be personally
"out" whatever money he turned over
for them. Since Ross refused to turn
over the office of Recorder to Arneson
early yesterday morning, Arneson has
not appeared at the City Hall, but the
Mayor still proceeds as though Arne
son was in full charge of that office
The controversy over the matter of the
payment of warrants may be brought
to an issue the middle of this month
at which time the Council has ordered
the Mayor and Recorder to Issue a
warrant amounting to $13,625.18 to the
Linden Kibbe Company, of Portland
and another to J. G. Baker for 393i 53
for pavements.
Mayor Anderson said today that he
did not solicit the offer of Governor
West, - who volunteered yesterday to
appoint the local executive's police ap
pointees as special agents of the state.
Anderson, who is a representative in
the State Legislature, said today:
"I had no word or communication
with Governor West from the time the
Legislature adjourned until I received
his telegram yesterday, saying he
would appoint my men special agents.
The Governor undoubtedly decided to
make that offer to me after he read in
The Oregonian about the friction here."
Offer of Wnt Accepted.
However, the voluntary offer of West
was accepted by the Mayor, who has
been informed that commissions as
state agents, for McDonald, who was
appointed chief, and Coleman, Frlel
Winkler and Dyball, who were select
ed by Anderson for policemen, have
been mailed at Salem and will reach
this city tomorrow. Chief Gibbons still
holds the only key to the City Jail and
is sticking to his original statement
that they will not allow McDonald or
any of his men to enter the jail. Not
a single arrest has been made by either
set of men since the two gangs com
menced patroling The Dalles as po
licemen yesterday morning. a com
mittee of business men called on
Mayor Anderson this afternoon, with
the hope of compromising the strife
between Anderson and the Council
over aDDOintmentg. but nr. ac,-,
was reached. It is rumored that Chief
ji ooons is me stumbling block to any
sort of agreement. It is understood
that the Mayor will not listen to any
slate that Includes Gibbons for chleC
and business men will not accept Mc
Donald for head of the Police Depart
ment, which position McDonald held
under Mayor Wood until a year ago.

Park Audience.
SECOND LECTURE BEGGED

Plan Attracts Attention.
- .- .
GLADSTONE PARK. Or.. July 9.
(Special.) The Rev. Robert J. Patter
son, of Belfast. Ireland, founder of the
"Catch-My-Pal" movement, so enthused
a large Chautauqua audience today
that he was compelled to give an ad
ditional 40-minute lecture from the
same platform and to the same audience
largely, after he had finished his first
speech.
At the close of his talk on "The
Modern- Good Samaritan," delivered be
fore about 2000 people, the fiery Irish
orator sauntered about 'the auditorium,
shaking hands with admirers. A large
part of -the audience, however, was
prone to leave and Dr. Patterson,
amidst a fusillade of requests for
"more," went deeper into his life's
work, which he terms "Catch-my-pal.
The Rev. Patterson, who is a Pres
byterian minister from Armah, Ireland,
initiated about 20 CO people Into his
"Catch-My-Pal" Club at the close of
his first address. He traced in detail
the growth of the movement which has
made him famous, s
The Sierra Quartet, which made a
big hit last night, gave another con
cert tonight before a large audience.
Class work began in earnest today and
all departments of the Summer school
were well attended. Of unusual in
terest today was Mrs. Frances Carter's
recital of Shakespeare's "Much Ado
About Nothing." Dr. W. B. HInson, of
the Portland White Temple, delivered
an address to perhaps the largest Sum
mer school class of the assembly. His
subject was "The Best Book in the
World." Dr. James Gilbert addressed a
large class of women who wish to make
best use of the ballot on "Railways and
the Public." "An Egg and How It
Should Be Handled" was the subject of
A. G. Lunn's address, in connection with
the Oregon Agricultural College ex
tension work.
No feature is attracting more atten
tion on the grounds than is Miss Grace
Lamkin's "Supervised Play." Two hun
dred youngsters swarmed about Miss
Lamkin today at her opening class.
Miss Lamkin carries out the -plan that
play that is good, true and genuine is
essential in the making of good citi
zens; that through well-directed play
the boys and girls learn respect,
thoughtf ulness, discipline, alertness,
perception and lowalty and she makes
the work most attractive to the chil
dren themselves.
v The Clackamas baseball team today
defeated the Logan team at the park
by a score of 8 to 6.
