Judge Mc Ginn yesterday opened the trial ot Frank Arellanes. baseball player, charged with having contributed to the delinquency of a minor. Protests against the ruling of the' Judge were unavailing. He had . an nounced that, although he was familiar with decisions of the Supreme Court of this state to the contrary, he would take this action In support of common decency, and possibly the court would be given another opportunity to an nounce Its former decision on this mat ter. Airs. Lola G. Baldwin, superintendent of tho wornen's protective division of the Portland police department, to gether with Dr. Miriam Van -Waters, superintendent of the Juvenile Court Detention Home, were excluded by Judge McGinn when the trial opened, and they made a vigorous protest. Judge McGinn turned a deaf ear to their request A letter to the court from Mrs. Lola G. Baldwin, superintendent of the women's protective division, and Dr. Miriam "Van Waters, superintendent of the Juvenile Court Detention Home, was read to the Judge and jury. After hearing it. Judge McGinn ' said: "I shall not grant their request. Women'! Plea Denied. The letter follows: "We, the undersigned, believe it right and proper that all witnesses In the Arellanes case be excluded from court, together with all idle spectators, but we respectfully protest against the ruling to exclude the proper and offi cial custodians of the young girl wit ness, thereby leaving her entirely alone in a Circuit Court room without the advantage and moral support of women's presence. "Would it be fair to try a man with a full Jury of women, with four women prosecutors, and allow not a man pres ent in the courtroom? A mere child alone in the presence of 20 or 30 men naturally would be exceedingly em barrassed. We appear In court as offi cial representatives of organizations and not as individuals." "Close the doors," ordered Judge Mc Ginn, "and let this case proceed." Just before the noon adjournment the chief witness for the prosecution, Margaret Frykman, broke, down under cross-examination and became hysteri cal. Girl Objects to Mother's Comiac . "'I made the offer to have the girl's mother brought into court to be with her throughout this trial," said Judge McGinn, "but the girl refused to permit her mother in the room. I think one who nas naa tne experience ui tms wit ness will be quite able to tell her story to the necessary persons in the court room without the moral support of anyone. "There is the same objection to the presence of Mrs. Baldwin in the court room and to others who have been con nected with the -prosecution as to the attendance of witnesses whose testi mony will be heard later. If this rule were not imposed this court would be Jammed by persons eager to hear the offensive details of this case." Witnesses for the prosecution yester day told of meetings between Arellanes - and Margaret Frykman and her aseo " elates, of visits to local grills and that '- liquor was given the 14-year-old girl without question in the various places . visited. A girl witness of 18 smiled broadly when a middle-aged lawyer did , not know what a peean punch was. A quarrel between Margaret Fryk man and a girl friend, wherein the for " mer was accused of having stolen i coat, brought her to the attention of the police, it is asserted, and attentions of a Arellanes and tnree others now under t Indictment to the girl, as charged by the state, were uncovered incidentally. ; Tne case probaDiy will occupy all or to ' day and tomorrow before It reaches the Jury.

Ed Dekum, ex-Portland man and brother of Adolph A. Dekum and - George P. Dekum, of this city, was in a party that narrowly escaped being urea upon Dy a Japanese battleship in Honolulu harbor recently, according - to a copy of the Pacifio Commercial Auveruser, waitn reacnea nere yester- day. When the Nipponese warship Hizen captured the $70,000 German schooner Aeolus outside of Honolulu harbor a party of newspapermen, including Mr. Dekum as German interpreter, went to visit the captured ship in a sampan. The German captain plunged into the ocean In a futile dash for safety. As he swam toward the sampan the Japan ese ship trained its guns on him. The . captain, seeing the sampan turn away, swam back to the vessel. The prize later was destroyed by the warship. Mr. Dekum is secretary of a news paper company in Honolulu and has niade his home there for more than 20 years, though born In Portland. He last visite'd Portland about three years . ago. INSTALLATIONJJRAWS NEAR Dean Sumner's Consecration. Awaits Only Few More Approvals. Twenty standing committees of as many Episcopal dioceses in the United btatf s have sent President Ramsey, o: the standing committee of the diocese of Oregon, notification of their consent to the election of Dean W. T. Sumner as bishop of the diocese of Oregon to succeed the late Bishop Scadding. When 15 more notifications have been received the election made in Septem ber by the laity, and clergy in Oregon will be referred to the House of Bish ops for final confirmation. Then Dean Bumner will be consecrated and In stalled as Bishop of Oregon. At the rate notifications have been arriving recently, it is thought that It ' will not be many weeks before the consecration may be ordered by Pro dding Bishop Tuttle,-of Missouri.

Ira F. Powers, in Addition to Bmlneii Reasons, Says Sentiment la Against Snch Use ot Building:. That tho occupation of the Taylor Street Church by the unemployed would damage the retail trade in that dis trict la the basis of a protest against this use of the building1, recently filed with Mayor Albee by the Powers Fur niture Company, informally represent ing the Third-Street Association. "This contemplated move on the part of the trustees of the First Methodist Episcopal Church would be of lncalcul able harm, and would localize a condi tion that would retard further develop. ment, lower property values and pre vent permanent improvement in this neighborhood," says an extract from the letter. "The suggestion may have been made in a philanthropic spirit, but in view of the fact that the trustees have made no suggestion of surrounding the un employed with Christian influences, and the further fact that W1 believe they are breaking; up the congregation which for the past 60 years has held out & beacon light of hope to the weary and oppressed, it would seem that they were by this act attempting to throw the responsibility of locking these peo ple from their church home upon the City of Portland." Ira F. Powers yesterday said that while he had not been appointed formal representative of the Third-Street As sociation in the matter, he felt sure the sentiment of the Association was behind him. "I don't belong to this church," he said, "but I have been in this neigh borhood ever since I have been in Port land. The church has become a land mark to me. It seems desecration to fill it with a crowd of hoboes. "I would have no objection If they wanted to make it a mission. I am not taking either side in the contro versy in the congregation. But, aside from the business injury that the es tablishment cf a home for the unem ployed In this neighborhood would do. I feel that it is not right to use the church for that purpose.' Inasmuch as they have been making every effort to improve their street, the whole Third-Street Association feels that the use of the church for the un employed would be an injustice to their property interests.

PURE ADVERTiSING TOPIC AD CLUB TO ADOPT MINNEAPOLIS SYSTEM TO CUT OUT FAKERS, Bureau to Be Established to Give In formation on Worth of State, meats made In Press, The Ad Club . at its luncheon yester day made preparations to launch in Portland the "Minneapolis plan for pure advertising," after addresses had been given by W. B. Sblvely. of the Ad Club; F. J. Jaeger, of the Retail Merchants' Association, and M. N. Dana, outlining the plan. Mr. Shlvely, the first speaker on the programme, was one of the men who has been - most active In the move' ment to inaugurate the Minneapolis system. This system was presented at the last meeting of tho Ad Clubs of America and received the grand prize as the best scheme for securing reli able advertising that was offered. Mr. Shively's outline of the plan was, Briefly, as follows: In Minneapolis a year ago 65 bust ness men agreed to contribute $10 each to a fund for the maintenance of a "Bureau of Fair Competition." Any subscriber In the fund thereby was entitled to investigate, throngh the secretary of the bureau, any adver tisement that might appear. The re port of the advertisement was returned not alone to him but to all of the subscribers to the bureau, and they were enabled to receive dally reports upon the reliability and merits of the advertising that the business concerns of the city were putting out. Every member in the bureau places in all his correspondence a slip an nouncing his membership in tho or ganization and Inviting criticism from the public on his advertising, offering to make good any barm that may have been done unwittingly through incor rect statements or errors in the ad vertisements. The Minneapolis eysr tem is now in its second year and IB past the experimental stage, with a strong body of business men enlisted in its support. Many of the business men of Port land already have expressed their will ingness to assist In establishing the system in Portland, and the Ad Club, Retail Merchants and press will seek to co-operate in furthering the work.
