TlIE HOIWIXG T5KEGONIAX. FRIDAY, JT7X.Y 11, 1913. THEORETICAL WAR RAGES HEAR COAST Guard Officers to Solve Prob lems of Actual Conflict in Annual Encampment. REGULAR ARMY MEN GUIDE Company Commander 9 Commended for Thorough Manner, In Which Men Have Been Provided For Camps Sanitary. CAMP "WEST, near Tillamook, Or.. July 10. (Special.) An "Invasion" of the United States has been effected near this point by an "hostile" division and the American troops are seeking to delay the advance in the direction of Portland. This is the tactical prob lem that has been presented . to the Third Oregon Infantry, the officers of which are wrestling with the task of mertlng the theoretical situation. Late today the - first tactical battle was fought east of camp, when the re -treating troops went into action against the invaders in an effort to check them, while valuable supplies were being driven hurriedly inland. The theoreti cal conllict was still in progress at the end of the day's maneuver and will be resumed in the morning. Thp campaign, which was formulated by Lieutenant-Colonel Morrison, United Etatts Army, is intended to give the National Guard officers instructions In tactics which will be of the utmost value to them In the event of hostili ties on the Pacific Coast. Real War Condition Met. Every condition of actual war Is tak-iix into consideration in planning the various theoretical conflicts that will occur dally until the end of the week. Battalion and company com manders, as well as Junior officers, are calle.3 on to meet constantly changing situations and emergencies of battle. Their tactics are then subjected to an alysis and criticism by the regular Army officers attached to the camp. Colonel Morrison is conducting the in vading force, while the defenders are directed by Captain Stacey, an Army tactician of note. The invading army Is assumed to have landed in lighters from a troop of transports convoyed by a battleship fleet. One regiment has been hurried forward to attack an American force of equal strength. Forres Spar for Advantage. Preliminary stages of tho situation having been worked out, both forces are sparring for tactical advantages. Every phase of handling troops under war conditions in the enemy s vicinity Is thus brought into the instruction work. . Officers are required to ex plain what they would do under ever probable condition of conflict. Serious emergencies, requiring prompt and de cisive action, were developed on several occasions today and as a result the Guard officers have learned the neces sity of closer application to the rules of the campaigning game. Information of much value is gained through the detailed tactical solutions given by the instructors of the Army. Bright weather made possible the carrying out of a more elaborate In struction programme today, the whole Tegiment being given several hours of drills In extended order, together with instruction in battle formations and normal attack. Theoretical Soldiers ITaed. These drills were directed by the regimental commander, Colonel Martin. The troops were not utilized in the tac tical problems, theoretical forces serv ing the same purpose for the studies in tactics. Detailed Inspection of the camp to day was productive of compliments to the various company commanders upon their thorough manner of providing for the welfare of the men. Kitchen and messing arrangements wore found to be exceptionally good, while- the camp sanitation was without defect. No cases of sickness have developed In camp. Tonight a reception and banquet were tendered officers of the regiment by the citizens of Tillamook. The affair was of an informal nature and was held under the auspices of the Chamber of Commerce. MORAL ISSUE, SAYS WOMAN (Continued, -fronnFlrat Page.) Century" Joseph P. Byers, Commis sioner of charities of New Jersey, said: "Last week in Portland, I sat in a public gathering and listened to a sweeping arraignment and general de nunciation of our penal and reforma tory Institutions that disturbed me. First, because there was In the address a large element of truth and It is the truth that hurts; and secondly, because he speaker failed to voice, even If he recognized the fact, that all of these institutions are not all bad. He char acterized our county Jails as the pri mary schools for Instruction In vice true, absolutely, and by no means a re cent discovery our schools for Juven ile delinquents as the grammar schools, where the Instruction is continued. Other Side Is Viewed. "There Is much to "Be said on the other side. That our reformatories are the high schools, where criminal char acter is furthered, is often true, but why not speak of the larger number of cases where criminal habits are uproot ed by the corrective influence of these Institutions and of our prisons as the universities where the higher educa tion and finishing touches In crime are received? Too often this Is true. But why. by implication, leave In the pub lic mind the idea that the officials of these institutions are themselves In structors and teachers In crime? Why weaken public confidence in men and women who are fighting your battle with crime, who are the custodians of the hundred thousand and more con victed lawbreakers now in their keep ing? Why not rather take account of the good results accomplished by them in spite of the awful handicaps you impose upon them in the way of in sanitary housing, lack of facilities for classification, political interference and vicious systems of labor, or, what Is worse, laws that prohibit or unduly re strict employment?" Probation Snbievt DlHuwd. Frank E. Wade, of Buffalo. In a dis cussion on adult probation and parole in New York State, said that after a thorough study of the history, statis tics and experience of adult probation in New York State, he had reached the conclusion that courts should be given unrestricted discretion in the selection of cases to be placed on probation; that publicly salaried probation otn oers should be appointed from a com petitive civil service examination, and that preliminary investigations, by probation ofllcers. are essential to pre pare exercise of probation. The special section meeting on pa cific Coast immigration conditions to day brought out an overwhelming sen timent against any concessions to Ori ental immigrants. Alexander Johnson, general secre tary of the conference, addressing the section on children, severely criticised the practice of some states in spend in6 11000 per capita in building stale institutions for defectives. He said: "When we are face to face with the problem of providing for perhaps one half of 1 per cent of the whole pop ulation, we must get down to a rational basis of cost." Levi Meriam, assistant chief of he Federal . Children's Bureau, contrasted t he millions appropriated each year for, the bureau of animal industry with the 33.500 for the entire work of the children's bureau. Professor Theresa TS. McMahon, of the University of Washington spoke on "Labor . Exchanges of the Labor Colonies, and discussion of this sub ject was led by Professor F. C. Young, University of Oregon, and A. H. Grant, or Seattle. . Officers Are Elected. . The conference tonight elected these officers: President. Graham Taylor, president of School of Civics and .Philanthropy, Chicago; first vice-president.

Playwright, for One Season in 1893 at Cordray's Theater, Playing Juvenile Part. NEW YORK. -Till V 10 Anhv Rnirl.' cault, actor ana playwright, died "' of pneumonia today at the New York hos pital. He had been in poor health for years. , Mr. Boucicault was a son of Dion Boucicault, a well-known English actor, and was born in London in 1868. He came to this country In 1890. For several minutes after he had been advised of Mr. Boucicault's death, by The Oregonian, John F. Cordray could say nothing but express his sorrow at the news. It was when Mr. Cordray was running his own theater in 1893 that Aubrey Boucicault played the ju venile part the entire season, being, as Mr. Cordray put it, "a matinee Idol If eve there was one." ' "It was in his father's plays, "Conn the Shaugraun" and "Arrah Na Pogue" that he achieved his greatest success," said Mr. Cordray. "though he was also good in the dramatized ver sion of Oulda's "Mars." He was a dash ing, fine looking, somewhat slender young fellow of medium height, and a great favorite with players as well as with the public. Charles C. Craig was the heavy man at the time, Dave Mur ray was leading man and Victory Bate man my leading woman. "I still have locked away the original manuscripts of those two plays of his father's. These the son gave me, and I treasure them greatly as they were much talked about and well known throughout the whole country." ROAD PASSES BLAME ON NEW HAVES SAYS ENGINEERS FORCED UNSAFE CONDITIONS.

NEW YORK, JuTy 10. The .,ew Haven road this afternoon issued a statement in regard to the report of the Interstate Commerce Commission on the Stamford accident, in which the road declares that the Commission failed to say that "employment of the inexperienced engineman was practi cally forced on the New Haven road, by the engineers of the company." "In the Fall of 1912." the statement reads, "an order was Issued to the ef fect that engineers with less than two years' experience or two years' rating as engineers would not be allowed to run through passenger trains. This order was protested by the engineers on the ground that the company had not adhered to the rule of giving the engineers 30 days' notice before amend ing existing rules. ' "The engineers offered the rule which is now In effect, providing in stead of two years' experience a re quirement of one year. Mr. Bardo, general manager, accepted this amend ment because it was essential to pub lic safety that the engineers should get back to work without having another long dispute to settle with the com pany."

Mrs. Rigby told of having burned Sir William H. Lever's $100,000 country residence at Rivington near Horwlch, Lancashire, as a "beacon lighted for the King and the country to see women suffering an insupportable grievance." She also confessed to being ine perpetrator or tne oynamlte out rage at the Liverpool Cotton Exchange July 5. I placed the explosive in the stock exchange to show how easy it is to procure them and to place them in public buildings," she said. "I might just as easily have blown up the Nelson monument. "I chose the Liverpool Cotton Ex change because the cotton industry has been built largely by women s labor. The merchants are willing to get power and wealth out of the labor of women while the women themselves are denied the vote and citizenship. This Is the first knock at the door. Under the "cat and mouse act' one of the greatest wo men in the land is going to be done to death. If the government Is going to kill that woman, this is a warning."

BOND ISSUE ATTACKED SENATE FAVORS NEW YORK CENTRAL IXQUIRT. Bond Exchange Declared to Saddle on Lines Burden of $46,713,620 That Shippers Must Pay. WASHINGTON, July 10 An inves tigation of the financial operations of New Tork Central lines by the Inter state Commerce Commission was pro posed in a resolution passed by the Senate. This action was taken with out debate when the resolution was Introduced by Senator Norris, of Ne braska. The resolution. If concurred In by the House, would direct the Commis sion first to investigate and report on the issue by the New Tork Central & Hudson River Railway Company of I16XJO2.400 worth of 4 per cent mort gage bonds for the purpose of taking up S 1-3 per cent Michigan Central bonds amounting to $19,336,000, 3 per cent Lake Shore & Michigan Southern bonds amounting to $90,578,400 and New York Central 4 per cent debenture bonds amounting to $97,188,000.

Senator Norris had prepared data which he declared shows that the 3V4 per cent bonds in question do not expire for 85 years, and that the ex change of 4 per cents for 34 per cents, dollar for dollar, would saddle onto the lines as an additional permanent debt, on which shippers must pay rates the equivalent of $46,713,620.
