TTTE 3TORXIXG. OREGOXIAX. SATURDAY. JANUARY 17. 1911. VICE REBULATiQ DECLARED FAILURE Rockefeller Investigator De clares Practice Is Dying Out in Europe. GIRLS RELATIVELY SAFE Caws of Knlrapplng . Kog&rded a Kare and Suspicious Humanity on Verge of War to Death With Social Plague. NEW "FORK. Jan. 16. After a year of personal Investigation In 11 Euro ppan countries Abraham Flexner. com missioned by the Bureau of Social Hy giene, of which John D. Rockefeller, Jr., la chairman, has come to the con clusion that police regulation of the social evil In Europe Is a failure and is rapidly dying out. Stringent legis lation, 6n the other hand, has prac tically stamped out the so-called white slave traffic in young girls and seg regation, he finds. Is non-existent any where in England or the Continent. These views, upsetting beliefs wide ly current In this country as to the status of commercialized vice in the Old World are set forth in a 450-page volume to be ISBiied tomorrow. Subject Still in Theory" Realm. "Sex education," says Dr. Flexner, "is the subject of as much controversy In Europe as In this country. Despite the prevalent notion to the contrary," he writes, "the subject 'of sex educa tion is as yet largely in the realm of theory or controversy." Explaining the decline In the sys tematic trafflo In young girls, the writer details successive steps In legis lation due to popular agitation in late years, and asserts that the entrapping and immuring of a girl may be classed as the exception, like a mysterious mnrder or robbery. "Under existing conditions." he says, "there is absolutely no reason to think that such cases occur frequently, though there are those who would be quick to take advantage of any relaxa tion of vigilance on the part of gov ernments, the police and the private organizations constantly on the alert. In the cases to which, from time to time, attention has been called, the women Involved are neither innocent nor deceived." Europe la Man's World. "While publio opinion is slowly chang ing for the better. Mr. Flexner be lieves, he still finds that there Is no social inhibition as regards Immorality In man. Europe has been a man s world," he writes, "managed by men and largely for men and cynical men at that men distinctly lacking In re spect for womanhood, especially of the working classes. The military, the aristocracy, the student, are all con ceded their fling. Women whose influ ence might have been exerted restrain Ingly have been trained not to pry Into the pre-matrlmonlal records of their husbands; fathers fashion their sons, as a rule, after their own Image." The volume treats at length of the Inscribed or registered women of va rious European cities, plying their trade under police license, and brands the system a failure. Only a fraction of these women are enrolled. Licence Growing Unpopular. To the licensed house. Mr. Flexner says, public opinion in Europe is b coming increasingly hostile. "At the present time, he says, they are per mltted In France, Belgium, Austria Hungary and Italy; forbidden In the German Empire, Holland, Switzerland (except Geneva), Denmark, Norway and bweden and Great Britain. On the whole, Mr. Flexner 13 of the opinion that regulation of any sort Is calculated to Increase the voUime of Immorality. Compulsory medical at tendance Is scored severely. Not only is it rar rrom thorough, but by in stilling in the male a belief In its efficacy It robs dissipation of one of Its greatest terrors, and thus increases vice. Civilization has stripped for a life and death wrestle with tuberculosis, alcohol and other plagues," he con cludes. "It is on the verge of a sim ilar struggle with the crasser forms of commercialized vice. Sooner or later It must fling down the gauntlet to the whole terrible thing. This will be the real contest a contest that will tax the courage, the self-denial, the faith, the resources of humanity to their uttermost. GUNMEN HIRED IN STRIKE Member Says Chauffeurs' Funds Were Used. Union NEW YORK. Jan. 16. According to Charles Levlne, who testified today In the trial of 15 chauffeurs charged with conspiracy to obstruct the United States mails, from $.100 to $500 of the fund of the Mail Wagon Chauffeurs' Union was used to hire "gunmen" to attack strikebreakers who had taken the places of members of the union during ma siriKe mm summer. The witness, a member of the union also testified that the defendants. David Jlockberg and Timothy Kennedy, had hired the "gunmen" on the ground thst they could fight the strikebreakers bet ter than the members of the union. James Clinch, one of the strikers, testified that the defendant Hockberg, president of the Mail Wagon Chauffeurs Union, had told him to get the strike DreaKers on tne wagons, out to "use lits own Judgment. as to the means to be employed." James Fltzpatrlck, also a striker, tes tified that the defendant Louis Lerry had said some men "were to get their heads broken. NEW BILL HITS AT RULE (Continued From First P: ge.) $5000 or by, imprisonment not exceed lng one year, or by both said punish ments, in the discretion of the court Jurisdiction Is Extended. Discussing that portion of Chie Justice White's decision which relates to unreasonable restraint of trade. Rep resentative Stanley tonight said that lie had always regarded It as unneces sary to the decision and therefore no tho law. Concerning the question jurisdiction In cases of violation the trust laws, Mr. Stanley declared that his amendment would make im possible Inaction under the act because remedy would be open to all. "The provision In section four of th present act requiring all actions to b brought by the Attorney-General," he said, "has done more to render the S.herman anti-trust act ineffective than almost any other thing. The Sherman act has at times been a dead letter be cause some Attorney-General happened to regard It with Indifference. "The merger of the Tennessee Coal & Iron Company and the United States Steel Corporation in my opinion would have been impossible had it not been for the fact that President Roosevelt advise tKe Attorney-General not to take action In the matter and no other -official could. Remedy Open to Indiviaoaln. "Industries which are affected by combinations in restraint of trade are thefirst to take notice of the viola tion of the Sherman act and they should have the same right to Invoke the court to protect them from the menace of monopoly that they now have to protect themselves from Injury at the hands of an Individual." The amendment will be taken up by the Judiciary committee when It begins the work of drafting anti-trust bills, after President Wilson has delivered his message. Senator Newlands, chair man of the Interstate commerce com mittee, which will have Jurisdiction over the legislation In the upper ranch of Congress, said today that the Democratic members of his com- ittee would meet to consider the pro posed legislation soon after the Presi dent addressed Congress. TRUST TO SETTLE AGREEMEJTT OCT OF" COTTRT SAID TO BE! APPROACHIAG. Salt Involves Right to Fix Resale Price and Charge of Controlling: Large Share of Trade. WASHINGTON, Jan. 16. The "Kodak trust" Is the latest or the great cor porations sued under the Sherman anti trust act to seek a peaceful settlement f Its troubles with the Department of ustlce. Negotiations between repre- entatives of tho so-called trust and the epartment have progressed so rapidly that an agreement probably will be reached within a short time. Two Eastman concerns, the uastman Kodak Company of New Jersey and the Eastman Kodak Company of New York, were charged with controlling 72 per cent of the trade of the United States In photographic supplies, and with nx- ng the resale price of cameras, films and other patented supplies. It was tho first suit Instituted by Attorney General McReynolds applying the prin- iple announced by the Supreme Court denying the right to patentees to tlx esale prices for retailers. The New Jersey Kodak Company, a holding company, has a capital of $33. 000,000, of which $26,000,000 has been Issued, and the New York company, the operating concern, has a capital of 5.000.000. In his bill Attorney-General McReynolds asked for a division of the assets and business of these two com- anies. One peculiar feature of the case was the charge that the General Paper Com pany, a German concern, sells raw photographic paper at a discount to the Eastman concerns, and refuses to supply any other manufacturer or dealer In the United States. The in vestigation of the so-called trust was begun In the administration of Attorney-General Wickersham. WITNESS MAKES CHARGE LIBERTY DEMFIU BY GOVKHSMEST TO GET TESTIMONY, SAYS ONE. United States Judge Provides Sensation in Western Fuel Trial When He Orders Investigation. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 16. United States District Judge Doollng provided the sensation of the day In the trial of the officers, directors and employes of the Western Fuel Company for alleged frauds perpetrated against the Govern ment. The court made a few pointed re marks regarding some testimony given yesterday by Joseph Waterdoll, an ex motorman for the Western Fuel Com pany, and the outcome was that an investigation will be held Monday to etermine whether the Government has been depriving witnesses of their liberty to get their tstimony. Waterdoll told the court yesterday that he had been held under lock and key and that his clothes had been taken away from him by secret service agents. This the Government prose cutors deny. Robert Bass, who had worked as barge tender, hoist engineer and hatch ender for the Western Fuel Company, testified today that twice when he was tying up his barge for the night he had heard a roaring sound and on In vestigation had learned that the hop pers had been left open at the Folsom treet dock, so that the coal which had not been weighed by the customs men was running down through the opening between the tracks and tumbling Into the company's bunkers, MURDER CHARGE IS LAID Driver of Car Falls to Stop After Accident Causing Death. OAKLAND, Cal., Jan. 16. "We. the Jury, find that Sumner Blacow's death was caused by shock from injuries re suiting from his being struck by an automobile recklessly driven by W. A. Flnley, and we charge the said W. A. Flnley with murder."

SAFETY DELEGATES AGREE Prospect of Complete Accord in Con ference Improving. LONDON. Jan. 16. The outlook for an agreement by the members of the revision committee of the Conference on Safety at Sea on the question of the convention to be drawn up has so far improved that it was decided today to hold a full session of the conferenc Monday to consider the committee's re port.

ACTIVE MILITIA FAVORED Guard "Top Heavy" With Officers Is- Xot Ideal 5f Senator, Who In- dicates Oregon Organization Approaches Model OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Jan. 16. Senator Chamberlain of Oregon, who Is chairman of the Sen ate committee on military affairs, prob ably will clash with the Democratic leaders of tne House over Army leg islation this session, unless the House leaders abandon their past antagonism the military service of the United States. The aim of Chairman Hay and other Democratic leaders In the House has been to reduce the size of the regulc Army further, hold down ap propriations for equipment of the rmy and avoid every indication that the United States is compelled to main tain an armed force for Its own pro tection. Senator Chamberlain believes In a well-organized and fully-equipped rmy. When questioned regarding some of the military problems to be onsidered this session, Senator Cham berlain declared his belief that the regular Army should be recruited to ts full legal strength, and that when ully recruited It should be fully equipped and thoroughly trained. Militia Should Be Efficient. Furthermore," said Senator Chara- erlaln, "I believe the organized militia of the several states should be made an actual as well as nominal second line of defense," and should be rought to a state of efficiency ap proaching that of the regular service. Moreover, the militia should be or ganized on a basis that conforms to the regulations governing the regular Army and should be actually at the call of the Federal Government in time of war." , Referring to the warning recently given by General Leonard Wood, chief f staff, that the supply of ammuni tion available In this ' country for Army use Is hopelessly inadequate, and that the Army lacks proper equipment in the way of machine guns. Senator Chamberlain expressed surprise that this condition existed, and agreed with General Wood that Congress should make adequate appropriations. I see no war-cloud on our horizon, Senator Chamberlain continued. "The apanese war scare, so much talked of, believe amounts to nothing, and I have Btrong hope there will be no oc asion for armed Intervention In Mexico. Nevertheless the United States should be in a condition of prepared ness, for the unexpected might happen." "Top Heavy" Mllltla Opposed. So far as organization of the militia s concerned. Senator Chamberlain be lleves it should be along the lines that are followed in the regular Army. He opposed to a top-heavy National Guard, which has more than the neces sary number of officers In proportion to Its enlisted strength. Rather, he believes, the militia organization should conform to Army standards, with one Colonel to each regiment, one Briga dier-General to each brigade and no Major-Generals or higher officers, unless the guard of a given state con sists of two or more brigades. Senator Chamberlain takes pride In pointing to the high efficiency of the Oregon National Guard and expresses the opinion that It today comes as near meeting the standard of the regular Army as the militia of any state In the Union. Any legislation that may be passed this session he thinks will make little change In the Oregon Na tional Guard, unless re-enlistments be made necessary to commit the members to the Federal service, if called out by the President, and obligating all mem bers of the Guard to respond for foreign service if such a call Is made by the President.

COAL TEST UNFAVORABLE Bering River Products Declared Un suitable for Warships. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash Ington, Jan. 16. Coal from the Bering River field of Alaska, on a test aboard the cruiser Maryland, proved unsuita ble for naval use, according to a state ment made to the naval affairs com mittee today by Rear-Admiral Griffin, chief of the steam engineering bureau. Tests recently made, he said, showed this coal readily formed clinkers, chok- ng the furnaces and thus rendering It unsuitable as fuel on naval vessels. Compared with the Pocahontas coal now used by the Navy, the Bering River coal made a poor showing, and unless further tests make a better showing the Bering River coal field will not be utilized as a naval supply. Coal from the Matanuska field is now being carried to tidewater by sledges and will have a practical test on some Bruiser early In the Spring.

FEDERAL GENERALTAKEN ARREST OK SALAZAR MAY BE FOL LOWED BY OTHERS. Border Patrol Sow Convinced That Of ficers Who Pretended to Go In land Reached Texas. PRESIDIO, Tex., Jan. 16. Efforts of the border authorities to round up the Mexican federal generals who escaped from Ojinaga, Mex., when the rebels occupied that place today resulted in the arrest at Sanderson, Tex., of Gen eral Jose Ynez Salazar. He was taken from a train while en route to join the federal garrison in Mexico opposite Eagle Pass. Tex. Salazar is the seventh Mexican gen eral to come Into the custody of the United States authorities. He was play ing cards on the train when captured He at once admitted his Identity and was taken to Marfa to be put under bond. The military authorities, how ever, prepared to re-arrest him and remove him to El Paso with the other federal soldiers and generals who es caped to this country. The capture of Salazar convinced the border patrol that Orozco and Caraveo, possibly with other soldiers and of ficers, were hiding In Texas and more arrests were expected. It appeared that Salazar and Orozco with a small command, after escaping from Ojinaga rode eastward along the Rio Grande until they reached a point on the border near Sanderson, where the railroad is not far inland. In the meantime a fictitious message had been sent to Mexico City that the federal volunteer generals were in the State of Coahulla. en route to San Luis Potosl The defeated Mexican soldiers and refugees who are being taken to EI Paso as wards of the American Govern ment tonight had reached Shatter, 22 miles from the border.

Over eighteen years of constant use by physicians and public have shown that Resinol stops itching Instantly, and quickly heals tormenting, unsight ly, skin eruptions. We have thoiisands of unsolicited testimonials that prove it Most druggists are only too glad to sell Resinol to their customers because they know that It will give satisfaction. But a few unscrupulous dealers offer. In Its place, ointments which resemble Resinol closely enough In name or ap pearance to deceive the unwary. They claim these are "Just the same as Resinol," are "Just as good as Resi nol." But they are NOT. They are crude imitations, often cheaply made and of little or no healing power. The dishonest dealer wants to sell these Imitations Instead of Resinol because HE can make a few cents more profit and not because they will do your skin any good. We publish this to warn our cus tomers, many of whom write that they have been deceived by imitations ot Resinol. If anyone tries this trick on you. Insist on seeing a jar ot genuine Resinol also. Compare the two oint ments and decide for yourself if the "substitute" IS "just the same as Remi nd." Resinol is never sold In bulk, only In opal jars with the name blown In the bottom. Each jar comes In a blue carton which it Is unlawful to imitate. Price 60c and 1. For trial size, free, write to Dept. 42-R. Resinol. Baltimore, Md. Adv. York - Brooklyn TO THE FIND
