Content Over Position Probable, as
Internal Opposition to Incumbent
Has Developed Chairman
Manly Is Silent.
When tiie terra of I R. Alderman,
Superintendent of the PorUand Public
Schools, expires. July 1. it is probable
that there will be a contest In the
Board of Education over bis re-election.
Hopkin Jenkins, principal of Jefferson
High School. Is being supported by his
fpi.mid inoludlncr two members of the
nnH it i understood that he is
In a "receptive mood, if not makins
n active, canvass for the position.
'It la known that the Board is almost
evenly divided between Mr. Alderman
and Mr. Jenkins. Two of the Directors
are open in their support of the present
Superintendent. These are O. M. Plum
m.r and J. V. Beach. The two who
favor Mr. Jenkins and are understood
to be ready to vote for him are Dr.
v .cinmmar and Dr. Alan Welch
Smith. The attitude of the remaining
member. Judpe M. G. Munly. chairman
of the Board, haa not been asceriainea.
Altnough Mr. Alderman's term does
not expire until July, the opposition fo
him within the tsoaro nas oeen iw
ir- for some time. It is said that the
subject of superseding him has not
been discussed in a iormai mttiius
the Board, but that there has been
friction on the surface. An incident
that showed the feeling existing de
veloped a few weeks aso when Mr.
Alderman assured an applicant for a
position in the schools that she would
be appointed, but was overruled and
anotiier applicant was selected.
Mr. Plummer. who Is out of the city,
and Mr. Beach have supported Mr.
Alderman loyally. They take the po
sition that he baa brought about many
improvements in the school system
and has proved his ability as an ex
ecutive. There seems to be no doubt
that they will vote to sustain him.
Judso M- G. Munly. chairman of the
Board, declined to be quoted on the sub
ject last night. Dr. Alan Welch Smith
said he could make no statement as to
whom he favored for superintendent
until lie should learn who the candi
dates were. He said he knew nothing
as yet regarding It.
Superintendent Alderman has been
the head of the city school system for
the past two years, resicnins as State
Superintendent of Public Instruction to
take the position.
Hopkin Jenkins has been principal
of the Jefferson High School since that
institution was established five years
ago. going there from the position of
principal of the Holladay School.
COAST STEAMERS OVERDUE
Ferocity of Storm Shown by Records
of I.atc Arrivals.
SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 10. The arrl
val here today of three steamers many
hours overdue from nearby coast ports
relieved anxiety for steamers overdue
from distant points which was felt in
ban r ranclsco marine circles.
Some Idea of the ferocity of the wind
and sea which coasters from the north
were forced to buck during the recent
storms was gained by these records of
today's arrivals:
Steamer Ravalli, BS. hours from Eu

E. J. F1NCK LAID TO REST
"Curfew," Favorite Composition,
ung at I'uDeral of Music Teacher.
The late E. J. Finck's favorite coin
position, "Curfew." was sung at the
close of the funeral trvlcea over bis
body yesterday by Mrs. Lulu Dahl
Miller. Longfellow, known personally
by the lte music teacher and com
poser, had said that this composition
was one of the best to which any -of
his poems ever had been set.
Many Intimate friends patd their last
respecta to Mr. Finck at the ceremonies

chapel of F. S. Tunning. Interment
was at Mount Fcott Park Cemetery. Dr.

Professor Vi". M. Proctor, dean of
Pacific University, Forest Grove, de
live red an address In the hall at Con
tra! Library last night on the treat
ment of delinquent children.
Professor Proctor said that the chil
dren in the country have an advantage
over the children in a city, because
they have more freedom and no city
ordinances.
Professor Proctor said that 40 per
cent of delinquent children come from
homes where there Is no father on ac
count of death or divorce; 30 per cent
come from homes where there is no
mother. He said that Judge Tuttle, of
the Chicago Juvenile Court, said that
tf 1000 boys under a year old were
taken from families in the slums and
exchanged for 1000 others taken from
homes in the middle classes that in 10
years their respective environments
would determine their characters. He
then showed a great many pictures of
ndustrial schools and urged the cot
tage system to take the place of the
dormitory system, even though it cost
more. He said that this would allow
the good and bad to be separated and
thus raise the environment of the de
serving".
Referring to the Training School for
Girls at Salem, be said:
"1 am glad to note that the commit
tee on appropriations of the Legisla
ture has heard from home and restored
the Item for a Girls' Training School
Such an institution is vital to the
proper handling of delinquent girls
and every woman's club in the state
hrould use its influence to see that
the appropriation Is made."

Mother Who Sought Vindication of An
napolis Naval Cadet Wins W
Alimony Monthly.
Mrs. Kosa B. Sutton, whose efforts to
clear the name of her son. an Annap
olis naval cadet, from the cloud of sui
cide, attracted Nation-wide interest
eight years ago, yesterday secured a di
vorce from her husband. James N. Sut
ton, an agent for the Southern Pacific
Company. The decree was granted by
Circuit Judge Gantenbein.
The Buttons were married in Van
couver, Wash.. November 17, 1879. Their
son, James N. Sutton, Jr., was appoint
ed to the Naval Academy at Annapolis.
He was found dead on October 13. 1907,

Plead With Bureau for Work.
In the sewing room conducted by the
citizens' employment committee 33 per
sons are engaged busily making gar
ments for the Belgians. While the
sewing machines hum and the Dutch
blue- print becomes 6acques, skirts,
children's bloomers and dresses, 33
families are being assured of food and
shelter.
The bureau on tne fourth floor of
the Journal building was established
to give work to unemployed women
whose children needed food and cloth
ing. As a factor in relieving the con
dition of many of our own poor, the
bureau is a great success.
Older Women Among Workers.
Age has not deterred women from
seeking employment in the sewing
room. Among them are several more
tv.nn r.n vr old. One is over 72 and
is as active and as eager to work as.
any of the younger women. wa
mothers, who have earned the right to
be waited upon and supported, con
stantly are applying for work that they
may take care of helpless little grand
children. The committee in charge is appealing
for funds to assist in carrying on the
.n.mri.,. T-hlch rhev find is the most
practical method that haB been tried
yet for helping poor women. The bu
reau serves several purposes. It flves
work and a means of livlihood to Port
land people in need, it supplies well-
made garments tor i" -keens
the money in Portland and It
relieves the cotton situation.
Wnittng List Includes 100.
More than 100 women are on the
waiting list and in want of work.
Those who have a Job in the sewing
room are begging to be retained a lit
tle longer. One bolt of Dutch bKie
print will keep a woman at work for
two days. Seven dollars and twenty
cents for the fund will provide work
for one woman for an entire week. It
sufficient funds are raised work can
b given to tide many destitute fam
ilies over the rest of the Winter.
This is the plea oi tne couum !...

TEACHER "SUEFOR PLACE
(Continued From r'mt PPge.l
had held the position for the two pre
ceding years .
Other -married women are teaching
In the Portland schools right now,"
said Mr. Richards. "When Mrs. Rich
ards was dismissed a married woman
was put in her place, but when we
pointed this fact out to the Board she
was removed and a single woman was
substituted. It Is clear discrimination
and I wish to say that we will carry
it as far in court as the Board wants
to go."
Citv Superintendent of Schools Al
derman said last night that he had
dismissed Mrs. Richards because she
married while employed as a teacher.
"It Is written in the contracts of all
women teachers that they automatical
ly forfeit their positions in case of
marriage while they are employed as
teachers." Mr. Alderman said. "Ibis
teacher signed the contract and when
she married sne was oismissea.
The bv-laws of the Portland School
Board contains a clause to the effect
that "should a female teacher marry.
her place shall become vacant, but it
shall not operate as a oar to ner reap
pointment by the Board." This is the
clause that is copied in the contracts
of the women teachers.
Contract Called Illegal.
It is the contention of Mr. Richards
that the Board has no authority to
make a contract with -permanent teach
ers other than is contained in the state
law on the subject. Even should the
contract be' held legal, he says, the
Board had no right to dismiss Mrs.
Richards without charges and without
notification.
In support of his claims, Mr. Rich
ards says he- Is prepared to quote at
great length from the state school laws,
from the state constitution, from the
United States Constitution, if neces
sary, and from Supreme Court decisions
in a dozen different states. Parallel
cases have been tried in many parts
of the country, he said.
Exactly similar cases to that of Mrs.
Richards were recently the cause of
much discussion in New York City, but
in no case was the husband the attor
ney to take the case into court.
Barrier Not Complete.
Dr. E. A.- Sommer, member of the
School Board, said last night that there
is no definite rule relative to the
barring of married women from teach
ing in the schools of Portland.
"In case a married woman has people
dependent upon her for support we
would retain her," he said. "However,
if she merely wishes to fill out a term
to get pin money, we consider that
there are a large number of girls in
the city who need the position worse
than she does. It is always for the
benefit of the public that we decide In
such matters."
Mrs. Richards demands her salary
from January 6. 1915, with interest,
and demands that she be reinstated immediately.
QUARRY
WORK OF PRISONERS NOT TO BE
DIRECTED BY ROAOMASTER.
Surplus of Rock Keeps Yards Closed
and Sheriff Asks for Land to Have
Vegetables Planted In.
The rock , quarries at Linnton and
Kelly Butte will bs operated here
after under the direction of the County
Commissoners instead of the roadmas-
tcr. Recommendation for this change
was made by Roadmaster Yeon in a
letter to the board yesterday, and the
recommendation was adopted.
Both quarries are closed at present.
because there is no Immediate use for
their output. There is said to be
enough crushed rook on hand to cover
several miles of road, and no place to
put it. The statement previously had
been made that the quarries would be
opened and county prisoners put to
work as soon as a place could Be louna
for the crushed rock.
Anxious -to put to work some of the
prisoners now confined In the County
Jail, Sheriff Hurlburt has requested
the board to open the Kelly Butte
quarry as soon as possible, or to make
some other provision to keep the pris
oners employed.
Commissioners Lightner, Holman and
Holbrook and Sheriff. Hurlburt last
Monday inspected the Kelly Butte
quarry. Mr. Hurlburt suggested to the
board members that a tract of land ad
Joining the quarry be leased by the
county, so he could put the prisoners
to work raising vegetables there. The
Initial expense, he believed, would be
compensated for by the produce. The
location of this tract, the Sheriff said,
would- permit th use of the prisoners'
quarters at Kelly Butte quarry.
