TTIE MORNING OREGOIiTAN. MONDAY. MAT 34. 1915. in i rLU R CH ID CONFERENCE TOPIC Dr. Hart Tells Result of Seat tle Hotel Conducted for , Men in Need of Work. CHARITY PLANS PROPOSED Ir. Hector MacPherson, Keportin; on Clearing Logged-Off Lands as Means of ' Providing Jobs, Declares It ' Impractical. "Unemployment" and "Co-ordination of Social Agencies' were the topics discussed at the state conference ol Social Asrencles at Reed College Sat urday afternoon and evening:. and a number of papers were read on both topics. Each one of the four ques tions taken up by " the conference has been viewed from many angles, and while there has been some difference of opinion on' the part of the speakers. It has usually amounted to nothing more than a difference In the propor tion of emphasis placed on different phases of the same question. The at tendance haa been good at all of the meetings. The afternoon session dealt with unemployment. The best estimates ob tainable by the speakers indicated that during- the past year there have been from 3,000.000 to 6,000,000 men in the United States out of employment all or part of the time. Arthur E. Wood advocated the es tablishment of Federal, state and mu nicipal employment bureaus on a dig nified and comprehensive plane, organ ized so as to get men to the jobs as cheaply and as quickly as possible. Dr. Joseph K. Hart spoke on the ex periences of Seattle In dealing- with the unemployed in that city during the past year. He served on the, commit tee which established the Hotel Lib erty, where more than 300,000 meals were served at an average cost, of less than 4 cents a meal. Nine thousand were at the hotel during the year, the least number at any time being 800 and the maximum being 1600. Two meals a day were served to tie men ho were not working, but the workers Rot three meals. AH of the m--ney earred by any of the men was turned over to the hotel, which ended the ear with a small cash balance after paying .ill of its own expenses. However, Or. Hart does not believe that relief measures of this kind help at all in the itimate solution of the question unemploy ment. Dr. Hector MacPherson reported on the advisability of an attempt to use the unemployed men for clearing ogged-off lands in the state which could then be used for farming pur poses. He reported that he did not be lieve the plan practicable because good farm land in the productive valleys can be purchased for less than the amount required in many cases to clear the logg-ed-off lands, even where the cheap est methods were used and also that the cheapest methods could only be used In the Summer, when the situation In regard to unemployment was not so pressing. In the evening session the question of the financial coordination of social agencies was discussed by several speakers and plans started for co ordinating the work of Portland charit nble institutions for next year. V. R. Wanning, of the Associated Charities, made definite recommendations to the conference. The plan suggested was to organize a federation of Portland charitable Institutions as a department of the Chamber of Commerce. The conference will hold the final sessions today, beginning at 2:45.

Clerk ce Inspected the xj and found at papers had beenl a to Mr. Ver- wdehe on that da-, t that he had shouldered and hopes to be appointed soon to the police force, heard police men's whistles as he stood by bis news stand at Ralph and Gates ave nues, and saw two policemen and two men chasing another man, who just turned the corner into Ralph avenue. Andy left his stand, caught up with the pursued at Monroe street and felled him with a blow on the jaw, holding him on the ground until the policemen arrived and arrested the man. At the Gates-avenue court the pris oner said he was Joseph F. Hill, 23 years old, a chauffeur of 37 Johnson avenue. He was charged with bur glary and was held without bail for the grand Jury by Magistrate Dodd. When Morris Avrutis. 44 years old, of 1296 Gates avenue, went to open his brother-in-law s stationery store, at 1368 Broadway, at 5 o'clock this morning, he found the door open. He called in George Marks, of 114 Ralph avenue, and both went to the rear of the store, where they saw a man hid ing under the counter. The man Jumped out. struck Avrutis in the eye. cutting and bruising It, and after making a pass at Marks, ran out of the store. The Intruder ran to Gates avenue and down that street to Ralph ave nue. Meanwhile Policemen Frederick Flelschman and James Creedon, of the Ralph-avenue station, had taken up the chase. They blew their whistles while they ran, hampered greatly by their rubber coats. At Ralph avenue Andy took up the chase and a block farther he was holding the quarry for the policemen. Several stationery articles were found in the hallway at 1370 Broadway, besides cameras, razors and other things belonging to the store. The cash register had been opened and $20 had been taken from 'it. The store is owned by Julius Epstein. SUBMARINE 111 TROUBLE VESSEL, IN ATLANTIC MANEUVERS RUNS AGROUND. Mishap la Third to Flotilla Since War Game Began Tender Stand By, But Haa Aaked No Aid. NEWPORT, R.. I., May 23. Another mishap to the submarine flotilla guard ing the Atlantic Coast during the war game of the Atlantic fleet was reported last night when word reached this city that a. submarine was aground on the east side of No-Man's Land. The tend er Fulton was standing by. The condition of the submarine was not known. No-Man's Land is a rocky Islet eight miles south of Gay Head. It is owned by Joshua Crane, Jr.. of Boston, the well-known polo and court tennis player, who uses it as a fish and game preserve. Captain A. V. Hall, the keeper, and his family are the only residents. So far as can be learned here no call for help has been sent out by the tend er Fulton and this is taken to indicate that the submarine is not in a critical position. An early report that it was the K-6 which was aground could not be verified. Since the Atlantic fleet began its war game at midnight of May 19 two sub marines, besides the one off No-Man's Land, have been in difficulties. The E-2 arrived yesterday with a broken crank shaft, while the K-l Is In port with engine trouble. A message saying that the stranded submarine was the K-6 and that her pjlght was due to a heavy fog was received tonight from the Kulton. Cap tain Roger Welles, acting commandant of the Narragansett Bay naval station, said the Fulton reported the submarine ashore on a sand shelf and probably undamaged. The naval tug Uncas was dispatched from here. MARCONI CALLED TO WAR Italy Summons Inventor of Wireless to Serve Term in Army. NEW YORK. May 23. William Mar coni, Inventor of the wireless, sailed to day on the steamer St. Paul, In re sponse to a summons from the King of Italy, to serve his term of military service In the Italian army. Mr.' Mar coni, who is a member of the Italian Senate and an adviser of King Victor Emmanuel, is a reserve officer in the engineering corps. He said he ex pected to complete his term of service and return to America by next Septem ber, but would not venture a prophecy as to whether the war would end by that time. "I suppose that I shall be called on for service," the inventor said. "It is fair to surmise that at least some por tion of the Italians will be dispatched to the assistance of the allied forces operating against the Dardanelles, but 1 am speaking without any authority when I say this. Both the Italian army and navy are well-equipped and I have no doubt they will give a good account of themselves." GROUP 2 BANKERS ELECT Forty Attend Central Willamette Valley Sessions at Lebanon.

"WIRELESS EYE" DEVISED Marconi Tells of Apparatus for Looking Through Brick Wall. NEW VORK. May 23. William Mar coni, inventor of the wireless tele graph, made it known today before sailing- for Italy, says the Evening World, that he has invented an apparatus by means of which It is possible for a person standing beside a solid parti tion, such as a brick wall, to look through the partition and observe what is happening on the other side, just as If there were no obstacle interposed to the vision. Mr. Marconi is quoted as saying that the device has been perfected to the point where persons In a. room can see persons in an adjoining room, looking through the wall, if the persons viewed are close to the wall, but that at a distance from the wall they become blurred. The possibilities for evil involved in the apparatus. It is asserted, have made Mr. Marconi reluctant to make known his invention.

Amos, Reformer for Love of Reform, Dares to Express Views. VERBAL FRAY IS RESULT Exponents of Henry George-s Ideas Turn Loose Big Guns, but find Single-Handed Visitor Daunt less and Yet Tneonvinced. I. H. Amos, who works at being- a re former for the pure love of it, never lacked courage, as those who knew him when he was an out-and-out Pro hibitionist when that doctrine was far from popular in this state realized, yet he can tack on a new badge of courage today, for he invaded the haunts of Portland single taxers Saturday night and tried to tell them where they were wrong. They smote him hip and thigh and he did not go scathless from the fray. He said when he began that he hoped to bring the single taxers to his way of thinking, but he numbered no converts when the meeting closed. They rebuked him as being unorthodox, yet some ex pressed the faith that he would yet be brought within the fold. "I doubt that single tax. will do what is claimed for it," was his first article of faith. "I would rather try it on a small scale so that if it doesn't work, we won't go broke all over." Vancouver - Remark Start Attack. He spoke of single tax experiments in Canada, mentioning Vancouver, B. C, especially as a place where the per centage of economic waste, he said, be cause of overbuilding, which was stim ulated by single tax, was greater than in any place he had ever seen. Then the general attack on him be gan. He was torpedoed, blown up by mines from below, riddled with shrap nel, torn almost to bits by a terrific bombardment by 42-centlmeter mortars at long range and smaller selge guns close by, swept fore and aft and shat tered stem and gudgeon stm he came up smiling. He knows now. if he never did before. what a target feels like. The perse cuted village of Vpres or the Rheims Cathedral has nothing on him. Yet the old Roman did not weaken. With his back against the wall he charged back as often as he could rally his forces. It was suggested to him that the war may have had some slight influ ence on the unhappy condition of Van couver. Straight single tax was preached to him and he was' urged to go the whole way. New Defenses Set Up. At the end he abandoned his outposts and sought refuge in new defenses. He said Oregon will be dry next year, a good roads policy has been adopted, and he pointed to the beauty of the state and Its educational advancement. These, he said, should hearten the band of those who seek to bring in a brighter day. He predicted these things will improve conditions. W. S. U'Ren. Alfred T. Crldge and others were prodigal in burling their ammunition at Mr. Amos, who was the chief speaker at last night's meeting. They know their Henry George as well as Mr. Amos knows the effect of alco hol on the human frame and at times the speaker was in distress. There was no organization talk at last night's meeting. Mr. Amos pro- viaea an the opportunity needed for mental attrition. Miss Christine Her man was chosen to preside for the even ing's meeting. Next Saturday night the chief address will be given by H. C IJthoff. His subject will be "Malthus and the Single Tax." The Saturday night meetings are held in Room H.. Central Library. FISHING AREA RESTRICTED Suspension Bridge Now Deadline for Nets at Oregon City. OREGON CITV. Or.. May 23 (Spe cial.) Two-thirds of the net fishing grounds of the Willamette River were closed Saturday when the Gill bill be came effective. This measure makes the suspension bridge the deadline for net fishing-. The net fishing season opened Mav 1 and the catch so far this season prob ably holds the record in the history of tne last to years of commercial fish ing here. Fishermen say that their ex perience this year shows that the deep water from the bridge to the falls is the best fishing ground in the river and that net fishing is practically ended by the bill. The annual catch in the past has been estimated from $60,000 to $30,000. INSULT TO FLAG COSTLY Five British Sailors Beaten, Then Fined by Magistrate. BALTIMORE. May 15.

NEW YORK, May 15. A "gentleman burglar," whose partiality for evening clothes and gold-headed canes enables him to circulate freely in the leading hotels and restaurants of the city, is believed by the police to have been responsible for the theft of $30,000 worth of jewelry from the apartment of Mr. and Mrs. Raymond McCune on the third floor of the exclusive apart- ment-nouse at 13o West Seventy-ninth street. Only such a man, the police say, could have been successful In the raid. The robbery, news of which was made public a few days ago. is the most daring of a series that has ter rorized the neighborhood. The burglar made his haul while Mr. and Mrs. Mc Cune were asleep Monday night. jn a oresser tne man found a $20,000 pearl necklace, a diamond necklace worth S7500, a ring with three diamonds worth J2500 and a diamond marquise ring worth J1200. Although tne thief went so far as to search Mr. MeCune's trousers and extract 1150 in small bills, he failed to take seven J1000 bills and one $500 bill which were in plain view on a dresser. The $7d00 had been drawn frcm the bank because Mrs. McCune wished to pay a bill of that amount next day. The theory of the police is that the invader entered a vacant apartment on a lower floor, waited there until the occupants of the building were all asleep, and them climbed up the fire escape. The McCunes discovered the loss upon arising and found that a window leading to a Are escape had been opened. Mrs. McCune said she placed a hieli sentimental value on the Jewelry and would pay a larger reward for its return than the thief could hope to get in a pawn shop. -ucuune is the son of A. W.

"We are not prepared," he declared. "The standing Army of this country could be placed without crowding In side of the Yale Bowl at New Haven We would be of little use In the pres ent conflict." Since the beginning of the war the Trumbulls have received offers of sev eral contracts to manufacture muni tions of war. Large profits were as sured, but they refused to accept the offers for humanitarian reasons. The death of our brother at the hands of the Germans has settled that matter," John H.
