GOVERNOR OPPOSES
BAN
MARCHING
Blow at Patriotism , in Port
land Schools Hinted Be
fore Transportation Men.
CRITICISM IS APPLAUDED
Plea Made for Support of Govern
ment's Plan for Preparedness
and Also for More Settlers
for Oregon's Lands.
It's hard for Governor Withycombe
to realize how a school teacher with
any sense of patriotism can object to
her pupils marching to and from their
classrooms.
He expressed himself on this sub
Ject before the Transportation Club at
the Multnomah Hotel at noon yester
day, referring- particularly to a report
published in The Oregonian yesterday
that the principals in two of the Port
land schools had eliminated the march
"My goodness!" exclaimed the Gov
ernor, growing indignant In expressing
his disapproval of such ideas. 'What
are we coming to, anyway? Are we
coin to drive all the patriotism out
of our children?"
He was enthusiastically applauded by
one of the largest gatherings that ever
attended a Transportation Club lunch
eon in Portland.
In this connectioin the Governor
cpoke earnestly in support of the Gov
ernment's plans for military prepared
ness.
ContinaDDH Peace Is Hope.
"I hope," he said, "that we never may
be driven into war, but if ever we are
to unfortunate, I trust we will be ade
quately prepared. It doesn't mean that
we are inviting war if we prepare to
defend ourselves. It means that ve
are' getting ready to protect ourselves
against those nations that may want
to make war."
In addressing the railroad and steam
chip men regarding their profession,
the Governor expressed the view that
the railroads probably are organized
on a more efficient basis than any other
Industry in the country.
Kfticiency and patriotism, he declared,
should be the keynotes to guide the
men in their work.
He pointed to the example of Ger
many as a nation that has progressed
far through its efficiency.
"I would not have this Nation follow
the example of Germany in its extremes
of military efficiency, he explained,
"but there is much that we can learn
from the Industrial efficiency of Ger
many."
The Governor seldom delivers a pub
lie address in which he does not, with
some degree of emphasis, urge greater
activity toward developing the Idle ag
ricultural acres of the state.
More Settlers) Irctd.
He told the railroad men yesterday
that they have an unavoidable duty in
this respect. He called attention to the
thousands of uncultivated acres in the
Willamette "Valley, and referred par
ticularly to the Waldo hills southeast
of Salem, which he recently visited,
as examples of "beautiful farm lands
that invite further cultivation. '
He urged that the railroads should
continue their activity In the effort
to secure settlers on the lands.
Game Warden Shoemaker explained
briefly the plans of the fish and game
commission to propagate and protect
game animals In the state, to the end
that Oregon may be made a sports
men's paradise. He sad that this plan
will be helpful to the railroads as well
as to every other element In the state.
W. C. Wilkes, assistant general
freight and passenger agent of the
North Bank road, presided at the meet
ing. The Transportation Club quartet
furnished the music.
Frank W. Robinson, newly appointed
traffic manager of the O.-W. R. & N.
Company, was forced to stand up at
his piace and receive an ovation from
his fellow members of the Transporta

Baby Snuggles Close to Mother's
Shoulder and Escapes Kain of
Fragments That Slightly Hurts
Parent and Other Women.
It is a well-established fact that a
grain of popcorn to which sufficient
heat Is applied will pop but who ever
heard of a popcorn wagon popping!
This Is what happened yesterday aft
ernoon, and five persons bear slight
injuries as a result.
Shortly after 3 o clock yesterday
people within several blocks of Second
nd Morrison street were startled by
loud explosion, sounding something
like the muffled boom of a warship's
ix-inch gun. The steam pressure be
coming too high, the copper boiler or
popcorn wagon stationed near this
intersection on Morrison street had ex
ploded, and fragments of heavy plate
glass flew in all directions.
Jack Farley, 370 V East Fine street,
the popcorn wagon operator, escaped
with a cut finger. Mrs. J. C. Crosby
and 10-months-old baby, and Mrs. E. N.
Crosby, both of 5304 Woodstock avenue.
had paused before the stand as pro
spective purchasers when the glass in
front of their faces was shattered.
Both were showered with black
grease and sustained several minor cuts
from the flying glass. The baby had
snuggled her face between her moth
er's left shoulder and throat, and was
not touched. .
Miss Anna Erickson, 32 East Third
street, a girl of about 17 years, was
passing at the time and was deluged
with soot and grease, and suffered sev
eral bad cuts on her hands from the
glass. A fragment of glass severed
the strap on one of the pumps she was
wearing.
Frank Bradley, 192 East Thirteenth
street, was struck In the ankle by a
piece of glass and complained of a bad
cut.
Patrolman Bewley was at Fifth and
Morrison, three blocks away, getting
the data of an automobile collision
when the explosion occurred. He heard
it plainly and hastened to the scene.
He saw that the women were removed
to a room at the rear of a restaurant
and their Injuries treated.

lough to the surviving soldiers is the
report made In a letter received from
England yesterday by Miss Queenie
Dunedin, who is filling a week's en
gagement at the Orpheum. Sidney
Soulsby, Miss Dunedin's brother. Is
member of-the Royal -Field Artillery
now in service near Ypres, and a re
cent letter from him notified "the folks
at home" that he was "one of the
lucky 46." i- Guy Soulsby, another
brother of the Orpheum actress, 1
with the soldiery in the Dardanelles,
and her two other brothers are in tho
home-defense corps.
Miss Dunedin says that none of her
brothers or numerous other relatives
engaged in the European war has been
wounded, although nearly all of them
have been in the midst of battle with
the allies for the past 11 mnths. Just
before the outbreak of the war Miss
Dunedin completed a tour of the world
with a vaudeville troupe, and she
familiar with the principal locations
on the European battleground.
Miss Dunedin says censorship of let
ters sent from England and France
no longer strict and that the soldiers
are permitted to give detailed accounts
of battles. The letters are mailed un
sealed and the censors close them and
dispatch them after reading their con
tents.
The war is responsible for Miss
Dunedin's vaudeville act. The troup
with which she was traveling expert
need so much trouble in traversin
the warring countries that she re
turned to New York and started ou
on her own hook." She is billed as
The Variety Girl" In an act In which
she sinars, dances, tumbles, rides
bicycle and walks a tight wire. While
balancing herself on the wire she de
livers a comedy monologue with th
perils of her versatility as the sub
ject.

expatiated upon the cause of thi
European war as he sees it. The talk

Society, of which Mr. Rosenthal is
organizer.
"The war," commented Mr. Rosenthal
"is not the result of the teachings of
Nietzche. as many students maintain. It
is the result of a decayed Christianity.
We are to blame, and instead of the war

it is listed as a credit that pays for the

Amwrr Given In Three Words and la
That Attorney' Fee Should Be
"Twenty-Five Thousand Dollara."
A hypothetical question covering:
dozen typewritten cages and requirin
15 minutes to read, was asked in Cir
cuit Judge Davis' court yesterday. The
question was one of attorneys' fees.
W. M. ("Pike") Davis, attorney, was
on the witness stand.
"Twenty-five thousand dollars," was
his answer.
The suit is one in "which George S.
Shepherd, attorney, presents a bill for
$25,000 to the Inman-Poulsen Lumber
Company. He acted as attorney for
this company from 1908 until 1913, he
says. His suit is the outgrowth of a
suit brought by the city four years ago
to open etreet-ends which would have
punctured the Inman-Poulsen plant.
Mr. Shepherd defended the lumber
company in the suit and won before Cir
cuit Judge McGinn and in the Supreme
Court. Chief Justice McBride, writing
the Supreme Court decision, had said
Judge McGinn was well qualified to
pass on the case, for he had lived many
years in the vicinity of the Inman
Poulsen plant site.
Judge McCredie's hypothetical ques
tion was a statement of a case parallel
to the one at issue, and the many type
written pages ended up with, "How
much would you charge?"
Mr. Davis' answer named exactly the
amount demanded by Mr. Shepherd in
his complaint.
Onofre Valdivia. a Mexican, aged 35
