NEW METHODS ADVOCATED
Exposure of Xotoriously Unneces
sary Appropriation liecommenda
tions Considered Unavailing.
The Orcgonian Given Credit.
"Pork barrel methods of making
Congressional appropriations are an
outgrowth of the present system of
legislation and will continue until the
people demand a change," says James
A. Frear, Representative from the
Tenth Wisconsin district, who is in
Portland for a visit with friends and
too see the sights. He is accompanied
by Mrs. Frear. They are staying at
the Carlton.
Mr. Frear, as a member of the lower
house of Congress, was active in op
posing the rivers and harbors bills
at the last session, and it was due to
the efforts made by him and his as
sociates and by Senator Burton and
iis associates in the Senate, that some
of the objectionable item3 were elimi
nated from the bills.
"It was the publicity given by the
enterprising papers of the country,"
said Mr. Frear, "that helped to kill
the pork barrel items in the last two
kills.
"A determined fight was made
against the scandal in both houses
cf Congress, and when the press of
the country exposed the vicious meth
ods of the present custom it was up
hill work for the pork grabbers. The
Oregonian was one of the papers that
Joined in this fight, which resulted in
defeating two of the big bills one
Jor J53.000.000 and the other for J38,
000,000 and the passage of the two
substitute bills turning over to the
Army engineers an even S5, 000,000 for
waterway improvements. This action
saved $42,000,000 on that class of ap
propriations. Democratic Leaders Criticised.
"It is significant that while the fight
was long and bitter in both houses,
not a single leading member of the
Administration gave aid to the fight,
although many Democratic leaders
urged the passage of both vicious meas
ures in both branches of Congress.
"At the same time no legitimate
rivers or harbors bill was opposed, but
the bills had to stand or fall as a
whole, and that will be the situation
until the whole system is changed.
"Scores of iniquitous projects were
exposed, including private water pow
er, real estate and land reclamation
schemes, but only one the Alabama
water power project, carrying J18.700,
000 could be forced from the last
bill before it was finally defeated in
the Senate.
"Portland and New Tork, for in
stance, have large water commerce,
but the Portland item gets into the
bill only when fomething is put in for
the vicious Trinity Kiver, Texas, $10,
OUO.000 fraud, or the Florida Oklawaha
Creek item, and for scores of other
projects that Senator Tollman years
ago called humbugs and steals.
"Legitimate projects are held up be
cause of local community projects,
looking for 'some Government money,'
and Representatives are ordered by
their constituents to bring . home
something.
Exposure Means Little
"One of the worst items in the recent
bill was fully exposed by Senator Bur
ton, but not a corporal's guard voted
with him to strike out the Trinity
River item, because the Trinity River
Senator stood ready with an ax to
smash the barrel.
"We are promised another big haul
on the treasury next season, but after
defeating the last two bills and flay
ing some of the worthless projects
I believe an effort will be made to
improve the character of the next bill.
"Senator Burton goes out of office,
but Senators Norris, Kenyon and other
strong men will be there to fight it if
it is as bad as the bills of 1913 and
1914."
Mr. Frear says the country is stand
ing firmly behind President Wilson in
his negotiations with Germany.
"No reasonable man, regardless of
politics," he declared, "doubts the
President's ability, patriotism and good
judgment in dealing with diplomatic
matters.
"I do not believe, though, that we
are in any danger of foreign complica
tions that would lead to war."
While in Portland Mr. Frear has re
newed his acquaintance with Grant
Thomas, well-known local timber man,
a boyhood friend.
SECOND DIVORCE IS ASKED
Wife, Once Remarried, Is Charged
by Husband With Cruelty.
For a second time, Henry C. Edwards
wants a divorce from Nora Ethel Ed
wards, whom he married the first time
in 1937. He remarried her July 7, 1912.
Yesterday he filed his divorce suit in
County Clerk Coffey's office.
Edwards charges cruel and inhuman
treatment. He says in his complaint
tnai ne nad a ganglion on his wrist
from excessive typewriting and that his
wife would not bandage the injured
member. Instead, he says, he was
forced to use his spare hand and his
teeth to wrap a cloth about the wrist
and, he declares, his wife stood by and
"smiled derisively."
Other divorce suits filed were Muriel

HUT BABES AT ZOO kQMM
New Arrivals Increase Stir at
Washington Park.
DEER AND BUFFALO PRIZES
Pride or Mothers So Great That
Keepers Are Inable to Ap
proach Little Ones Owls and.
Raccoons Have Increase.
Joy reigns at Washington Park zoo.
June days have brought a number of
baby animals which have added ma
terially to the life, activity and interest
at the zoo and to the size of the in
stitution. The collection of youngsters includes
a baby Japanese deer, a shaggy baby
buffalo, several raccoon babies, many
guinea pigs, a large number of canary
birds' and two fluffy, big-eyed owls.
All are reported to be doing fine.
Park Superintendent Convill reported
yesterday that the number of new ani
mals at the zoo this year probably will
be greater than for several years past,
the zoo officials having decided upon
propagation as a means of enlarging
the zoo. A number of other youngsters
are expected within a short time.
Chief interest in the zoo babyland
centers about the little Japanese deer
and the buffalo. The deer is a slim,
graceful looking animal. His mother
is decidedly proud of him.
The buffalo, to judge from appear
ances, is the coming ruler of the zoo
herd. He is a husky youngster, said
to be one of the finest specimens of his
type ever produced here. He is grow
ing rapidly. He also Is his mother's
pet. To try to touch - the youngster
would be a serious offense in the eyes
of his mother. As yet he has not been
touched by human bands and probably
will not be until his mother loses some
of the interest she now displays in him.
The baby owls are the pets of Zoo-
keeper Herman. They look for all the
world like two small puffs of feathers
set off by big round, bright eyes. These
they blink crossly as they are ap
proached. They were born in the rock
castle in the park.
The racoons have several babies.
which are clumsy looking but decidedly
active. They are making things lively
about the racoon pens.
Guinea pig babes are numerous. The
cages are over-crowded with the
youngsters and their parents. There
are also a number of young canaries.
All in all. the zoo presents a lively
scene now.

JUDGE M'GIXK'S FEAR OF PRO MI-
SEXT JURORS IS UPSET.
Two Verdicts Are Awarded for Personal
Injuries, and 7SOO Judgment Is
Awarded Policeman's Widow.
In spite of the fears expressed from
the bench by Judge McGinn that a jury
list composed of many prominent men
would not award any verdicts to plain
tiffs, especially in personal injury
suits, three .verdicts of extraordinary
size have been returned during the last
three days. Among those on the juries
were contractors, bankers and busi
ness men.
A jury in Judge Davis court awarded
Miss Ella J. Cronin $2500 Tuesday for
injuries received in an elevator acci
dent in the Lipman, Wolfe & Co. build
ing. The same day a jury in Judge Mc

Dr. K. A. Soinmer and S. P. Lock
wood Speak of Importance of Se
lection of Proper Directors
to Handle Vast Fund.
Dr. Ernst A. Sommer and S. P. Lock
wood, candidates for school director at
Saturday's election, will be busy from
now until the polls open. A vigorous
speaking programme has been arranged
by both men.
Each sees cause for confidence in
his chances at the coming balloting.
They report they are receiving much
encouragement because of the attitude
of the public and it is said that the
only question is whether or not the
people will get out and vote Saturday.
"Citizens should realize the import
ance of the election," declared Mr.
Lockwood. "The School Board of this
city spends approximately $3,000,000 a
year, which is a larger sum than that
disbursed annually by the Commission
ers of the City of Portland. Besides,
the school directors are elected for a.
longer term than are the City Commis
sioners. Vote Saturday Declared Important.
"It is important to the people of
Portland that they choose a man for
the position of school director who can
handle this big business in an efficient,
businesslike way. It is to be hoped the
people will vote on Saturday."
The Bolo Club, a political organiza
tion within the Spanish-American War
Veterans, has indorsed Mr. Lockwood
and has issued a circular strongly urg
ing his election. It is recited in this
document that the club did effective
work in bringing about the election of
Dr. Alan Welch Smith to- the board and
asks equally loyal support for Mr.
Lockwood.
He will speak today, at 2 o'clock
at the Arleta school and at 6 P. M.
both candidates will speak before the
Oregon Civic League at the Hazelwood.
At 9 o'clock tonight Mr. Lockwood
will talk before the Parent-Teacher
Association at the Buckman school
and on Friday night at 8 o'clock
he will address the Parent-Teacher As
sociation at the Ockley Green school.
Address at Jefferson Tonifirhl. -
"Director Sommer spoke last night
at the Jefferson High School to
citizens of that district and to
night at 6 o'clock he will join with Mr.
Lockwood in addressing the Oregon
Civic League at the Hazelwood. For
Friday he has not as yet made definite
dates, but will speak at a number of
places during the day and at night.
"The prospects are looking pretty
good," said Dr. Sommer- yesterday.
"There Is one thing I propose to discuss
between now and the election, and that
is the permanent tenure law passed by
the Legislature two years ago. This
law is not understood. Its object was
to remove teachers from the influence
of politics and the law has not yet been
given a fair chance. By its provisions,
when a teacher or principal is dis
charged causes for the action must be
set forth and the person sought to be
discharged must receive a hearing.
"The School Board had nothing tc
do with passing the law; it was put
into effect by .the Legislature. But I
am in favor of giving it a fair chance."
Mr. Lockwood spoke Monday night
