THE MORNING OREGONIAN. TIIURSDAT, JULY 22, 1913.
UUINDRYHEH PLAN
EXIT OF' CHINESE
Mr. McArthur Promises to
Urge Enforcement of Ex
clusion Laws.
LOSS OF PROFIT IS SHOWN
Methods or Improving Business Con
ditions Discussed at Convention
and Natural Death to "Unfair
Competition" Is Foreseen. '
Expressive of the faith that they pos
sess in the fruits of their own industry,
delegates to the laundrymen's conven
tion reported for meetings Tuesday
with freshly laundered shirts, collars
and cuffs, but before the afternoon had
fairly faded away, all their fine linens
were ready for consignment to the
waahtub and the mangle.
The laundrymen bravely sat and swel
tered in the smothering atmosphere of
Portland's hottest day, but so great avas
their interest in the discussion of plans
for improving conditions affecting
their business that they blissfully ig
nored the heat and devoted their ear
nest attention to the proceedings.
Poor old Hop Lee and. Bo Sing, who
have been wont to do the laundry work
for a. good many American families
these last few decades, came in for a
large share of hostile attention from
the assembled delegates yesterday aft
ernoon. Complaint Made to Mr. McArthur. '
That these organized- laundry pro
prietors are serious in their intention
of eliminating the Chinaman from
what they term "unfair competition"
is indicated by the fact that they called
yesterday upon Representative C. N.
McArthur, of Portland, to hear their
complaints on this subject.
Mr. McArthur promised to bring the
question of enforcing the Chinese ex
clusion laws to the attention of Con
gress at its nest session.
"I don't think we need any further
restrictions against the Chinese immi
grants." he said, "if we enforce the
exclusion lawn we now have on the
statute books."
The main speaker on this subject was
George D. Hooper, of Salem, -Mass.,
who pointed out the enormous amount
of work that goes annually, to the
Chinese laundryman to the exclusion
of profitable employment for deserv
ing white women and girls.
Lou of Profit Is Cited.
He said that approximately 140,000.
000 worth of laundry work in the
United States is done every year by
the Chinese. The principal grievance,
eo far as the American laundryman Is
concerned, he explained, comes from
the fact that the Chinaman does th
most profitable portion of the work
shirts and collars. The organized
laundrymen have spent much money in
the effort to oust the Chinese, he ex
plained. He insisted that if all the
American proprietors will Join in the
movement the Chinaman can in suc
cessfully eliminated.
Delegates who discussed the subject
agreed that with stricter enforcement
of the existing laws the Oriental com
petitor eventually will pass out of ex
istence. Those already here, they said,
sooner or later will drift back to China
and if no others are permitted to come
in the question of competition will have
been solved.
The laundrymen have caught -the "ef
ficiency" germ from their neighbors in
other industries, it developed yester
day. Standard Methods Discussed.
Much time of the afternoon was de
voted to a discussion of standard meth
ods of cost keeping and to systematized
accounting. Delegates were agreed
that it will be possible to eliminate
many of the non-profitable elements of
the business If the bookkeeping meth
ods are conducted on a standard basis.
This topic led naturally into a ques
tion that is dear to the hearts of every
Tnodern laundryman the family wash
ing. How to reduce the cost of laundering
so that the average housewife no longer
can afford to do the work herself is
the one big problem before the laun
drymen of the Nation today, and will
receive further discussion before the
present convention adjourns. Manu
facturers represented at the meeting
promise to produce machinery that will
enable the laundries to wash and finish
every garment in ordinary household
use and at a price below the cost of
doing it at home.
Bonneville Excursion la Today. ,
One source of household drudgery
the weekly washing thus will be
eliminated, they say.
"in a few years from now we expect
the American woman to rise up and
bless the laundryman," modestly pre
dicts "William E. Fitch, of La Balle. Ill
president of the organization.
Today is the social day for all the
delegates and their families. The com.
mittee has arranged to take them on
an excursion to Bonneville. special
train will leave the Union depot at 9
o'clock. A good programme of enter
tainment has been prepared, including
a picnic lunch on the grounds.
Following the return of the delegates
to Portland tonight, a special meeting
will be held at the Multnomah Hotel,
beginning at 8 o'clock, for all members
interested in the standard cost and ac
. counting systems.
HEW METHOD IS ASKED
ATTORNEYS RECOMMEXD CHANGE
IX COURT PROCEDURE.
I'ewer Jurors and Uniform System In
All Departments of Multnomah
Tribunal Proposed.
Changes in the methods of court
procedure, with the idea of eliminat
ing excessive expenses, reducing the
required number of Jurors and estab
lishing a uniform system in all de
partments were recommended by a
meeting of attorneys presided over by
J. K. Boothe, president of the Mult
nomah County Bar Association, Tues
day night.
The proposed changes, which, in the
main, provided for .the designation of
one of the six departmental judges as
presiding judge, will be submitted to
all the courts for final adoption.
Two judges J. P. Kavanaugb. and
George N. Davis were present last
night and substantially indorsed the
proposed rules. Judge W. X. Uatens
wrote a letter to the meeting, ex
pressing his approval of the plan with
a few modifications.
It was at Judge Gatens' suggestion
that the section in the proposed code,
providing for a criminal department,
was stricken out. This section stipu
lated that the several judges "shall
in rotation for a period of three months
' each, preside over the criminal divi
sion of this court, to which shall be
assigned all criminal cases and pro
ceedings and abatement cases, and all
motions, orders and other matters re
lating thereto, and all proceedings re
lating to the reports and discharge of
the grand jury.
The principal change recommended
by the special committee apointed by
the bar association and adopted by
last night's meeting is that providing
for the regular designation of a pre
siding Judge. The six departmental
judges shall rotate in this office for
periods of three months each.
"It shall be the duty of the presid
ing Judge to attend and supervise the
drawing of the jury, to order the Jury
summoned, to -empanel the grand Jury
when one Is called and to -take gen
eral charge of the trial jury," say the
suggested rules.
"Upon the convening of the court on
each judicial day the clerk of the pre
siding judge, under the direction and
supervision of the court, shall desig
nate the department In which each case
called for rial on that day shall be
heard."
This arrangement. It was pointed out
by various speakers last night, will
promote efficiency In court procedure
and eliminate much usless waste of
time.
it was emphasized that under the
present system no provision is made
for transferring cases fronm one de
partment to another when the docket
of any particular department becomes
crowded.
.The presiding Judge, too. Is expected
to hear all demurrers and motions, as
well as ex-parte matters, so that 'the
cases, when they go to final trial, may
be heard by the trial courts strictly
on their merits and without previous
prejudice.
ROBERT KENNEDY DEAD
EXD COMES AT HOSPITAL FOLLOW
ING BRIEF ILLNESS.
Victim Long; Manager of Pacific Coast
Elevator Company Here and Am
Authority on Grain.
Robert Kennedy, vice-president and
manager of the Pacific Coast Elevator
Company, and chairman of the grain
standard committee of the Chamber of
Commerce, died Tuesday at Good Sa
maritan Hospital following a. brief ill
ness. He had been in the hospital a
week. He had recently suffered from
gall stones on several occasions. His
rugged constitution enabled him to
overcome previous attacks, but the
latest was more acute.
Mr. Kennedy had been a resident of
Oregon for about 21 years, coming
West when the Portland Flouring
Mills took over the Pacific Coast Ele
vator Company from the Peavey Com
pany, of Minneapolis. He was "manager
of the company at the time and since
has been actively identified with the
grain buying department of the Port
land Flouring Mllis.
Mr. Kennedy for a number of years
was the grain expert for the company
and as such traveled throughout the
Pacific Northwest. He has been the
manager and vice-president of the ele
vator company for about 16 years.
Mr. Kennedy was born in Canada in
1861. but when young moved to Eau
Claire, Wis., where he became asso
ciated with A. H. Ingram, a large tim
ber dealer. Later he went to Chippewa
Falls, where he owned and operated a
flour mill. He became one of the fore
most business men of the city and in
the late '80s was elected Mayor of
Chippewa Falls. He was a life-long
Democrat and a leader In civic affairs
wherever he lived. As a Mason he was
past grand master at Chippewa Falls
and was prominent in the ranks of the
32d degree Masons. He was In busi
ness at West Superior, Wis.. Just prior
to coming to Portland.
In 1833 Mr. Kennedy and Miss Laura
Cushlng. of Chippewa Falls were mar
ried. They have a son, Holland, who
with the widow survives. Other rel
atives are: H. A. Cushing, of Portland,
who lives at the Cornelius Hotel, and
Mrs. Harry Richey, of Alexandra
Court. His acquaintances and friends
number some of the foremost citizens
of Portland and his word on grain was
considered law. His estimates of grain
crops in the Northwest were always
taken as authority.
Mr. Kennedy's residence was at 482
Hassalo street. The body will be taken
to Chippewa Falls for burial by Mrs.
Kennedy and the son Thursday morn
ing. The body is in charge of Finley
& Sons.
DOG LAW IS HELD ILLEGAL
Killing of Stray Animals Declared
to Be t'nconstitutlonal.
SALEM. Or., July 21. (Special.)
Salem's stringent dog ordinance pro
viding for the summary killing of dogs
found running at large within three
days of impounding, was declared un
constitutional today . by the Supreme
Court, Justice Benson writing the opin
ion. George L. Rose, a wealthy hop
dealer, owner of a dog valued at 1250,
sued to restrain the enforcement of the
ordinance.
The court held that the charter gives
the Council the right to prohibit dogs
from running at large, but that the
ordinance if enforced would deprive
owners of canines of property without
due process of law.

PERIL TO AMERICA
AFTER WAR FEARED
Victors Will Look Westward,
Predicts Speaker Before
Sons of Revolution.
PREPARATION IS PLEADED
Winning Xutions Will Emerge Proud
and Militant and Will See Kalr
Fields fnproteotcd, Says W.
H. Thompson, of Seattle.
Will H. Thopmson, of Seattle, pre
dicting peril to this country from the
aggression of foreign powers after the
close of the European war, Tuesday,
at the annual banquet of the National
Congress of the Sons of the American
Revolution, assailed the policy of
"peace at any price" and urged as the
strongest duty of the organization the
support of the efforts that are being
made to awaken the American Govern,
ment to the need Of edequate prepara
tion for defense.
"The end of this world-war will not
terminate aggression," he declared.
"Whoever the victorious pawers may
be, they will come out of the great
struggle proud and militant.
"They will not be ready, as we were
In 1865, to disband their millions of
soldiers. Looking westward from Eu
rope, they will see fair fields and de
fenseless chores. They will mark our
defiant, but helpless, flag struggling
to cast Its protecting shadow over
Mexico. Central America and the great
South American Continent.
Amy and Navy Iamdeqnate.
"Do not mistake the temper of t'te
world victors. Our present Army and
Navj- cannot guard the shores of North
and i5outh America. Our available reg
ular Army only equals a German or an
English army corps. Our available
National Guard could not halt the
march of 50,000 Japanese.
"We know the truth, but will not act.
We know that the patriotic man to
whom we have intrusted our destiny is
striving mightily to keep us from drift
ing into the European maelstrom and
at the same time to keep our honor
untarnished. But the fighting nations
do not intend that he shall do both.
"Our wisest and best-trained .men.
those whose duty it is to keep a 'cool
finger on the fevered pulse of the
world, know what Is coming. They
would, if they could, save our cities
from the torch and our young men
from the butchery of modern war, but
Congress has left us helpless.
"The coward cry of 'peace at any
price' paralyzes activity. We recoil
at the proposed expenditure of two
hundred millions for preparation, while
we spend for pleasure automobiles
alone a sum nufficlent to raise and arm
half a million men and double our bat
tle fleet.
Sons Urged to- Lend Hand.
"The past of the Nation has given us
warning enough and the future is elo
quent with Immeasurable appeal. Will
not this patriotic organization lend its
powerful assistance to the thousands
of devoted men who are beating at the
doors of our parliament and demand
ing that our country be not left a
prey to robber kings."
Newell B. Woodworth, the newly
elected president-general, expressed a
similar belief.
Wallace McCamant, president of the
Oregon Society, was toastmaster. The
Invocation was given by Rev. J. H.
Boyd, chaplain of the Oregon Society.
Chancellor L. Jenks. of Chicago,
spoke on the ancestry of the Sons of
the American Revolution. W. D. Wheel
wright was the closing speaker.

car.
.The three went to West Linn today
to be present at the opening of bids

Standifer was under arrest.
Mr. Standifer stooped to- crank the

"You are under arrest for stealing
this car." Chief Shaw informed him.
Mr. Standifer straightened up. "'I
didn't steal It." he said. "I Just hor
rowed it from Mr. Lively to ride across
the bridge."

PEACE MADE WITH T. R.
PORTLAND WOMAN CLOSES INCI
DETT OF FAMOUS BOOK.
Mrs. A. XV. Nicholson Presents Basket
and Plowera to Colonel, Explaining
She Had Been Accused.
When Mrs. A. W. Nicholson pre
sented Colonel Theodore Roosevelt at
the Union Depot Monday with a "peace
offering" in the form of an Indian
basket containing some yellow roses
and sprigs of old lavender, the episode
of the missing bpok that stirred Port
land on the occasion of the Colonel's
exciting visit here in 1S12 wa offi
cially closed, so to speak.
Mrs. Nicholson's name was mentioned
at the time in connection with the
book, a copy of "The Rise of the Sec
ond Roman Empire." which disappeared
from a table in the Colonel's suite at
Si
the Oregon Hotel. Who took the book,
If anybody took it, has never been se
tied, and the Colonel "found" It again i
at La Grande. Or.
But this is what Mrs. Nicholson said
when she presented the basket:
"You know,' Colonel. I've been ac
cused of purloining' that famous book.
I'm bringing this as a sort of peace
offering."
The Colonel smiled and accepted the
basket.
Mrs. Nicholson got on the Shasta
Limited with a ticket for Salem, and
rode to that city with the Colonel and
Mrs. Roosevelt. She had a fine chat
with them, she said yesterday.
"I had felt that his condemnation of
the Woman's Peace Congress was un
just, and told him so," said Mrs. Nich
olson. "He explained that it was not
because they were women, for he con
demned much more bitterly men like
David Starr Jordan and Carnegie, but
because they. were advocates of peace
t anjr" price."
FINANCES ARE IMPROVED
REPORT ON OREGON BA.XKS INDI
CATES CONFIDENCE.
First lO Months' Usi In Ui Is
Nearly Regained la Last Two
Months Savings Increase.
SALEM. Or.. July II. (Special.)
That tbe uncertain financial feeling
has been more or less removed In this
state is Indicated by the statement of
State Bank Superintendent Sargent,
issued tonight, of the banks in Oregon
at the close of business June IS.
The loans show a decrease of about
$1,000,000 since the statement of June
30, 1914, .but they have increased ap
proximately 1800.000 during the past
two months. Investments in bonds
and other securities also have in
creased about 1750.000 during the
same period.. A large part of these In
creases Is due to the demand on the
banks for harvesting crops, but Mr.
Sargent is confident there is a tendency
on the part of the banks to extend
new lines of credit to legitimate en
terprises. The overdrafts at date of this call
show a decrease" of H73.727.1I. or
nearly SO per cent, compared with tbe
call of a year ago.
The real estate holdings of the banks
have been Increased nearly Si, 000. 000
during the past year.
While there has been a decrease of
more than 32.500.000 in balances due
from other banks, the statement shows
an increase of about SBOO.000 over the
statement of June 30, 1914. There has
been practically no change In the de
mand deposits and amounts due to
other banks during the past two
months, there being a decrease of
nearly 3S.000.000 for the year, while
the time and savings deposits have In
creased approximately 32.000,000.
The report shows that the National
banks, as "yet, have not taken advan
tage of their rediscount privileges with
the Federal Reserve Bank to any great
extent, the total amount from the
state at date of call being only $103 -989.63,
while the total rediscounts and
bills payable of all the banks wmount
to $2,282,127.34. an Increase of 31.&36 -914.79
over the statement of last year.'
As usual, the statement shows a
good percentage of cash reserves and
as a whole reveals a very satisfactory
condition throughout the state
