CHILDREN'S LIVES
ARE TvlADE HAPPIER
Work of Boys and Girls' Aid
Society Is -Explained at
Annual Meeting.
881 ARE BENEFITED IN YEAR
Retiring Members of Board Re
elected and Need of Hospital
lor Little Ones Asserted In
stitution. Found Spotless.
The annual meeting of the Boys and
Girls' Aid Society of - Oregon was held
vesterday in the Home on East Twenty-ninth,
street. Judge W. B. Gilbert
presided. .
While the officers and workers made
encouraging reports in the business
meeting, the boys and girls romped
and played In the big yard under the
fchade of the evergreen trees. There
are at present 50 children in the In
stitution. Often there are many more.
During the year just completed the
society has rendered service to 881
chillren. Superintendent Runo Arne
made the principal report.
A.i extract from Mr. Arne's report
follows:
Since Its incorporation in July. I85:..?,"
Society lias persistently and effectively
championed the cause of Oregon's neglected
and dependent children. Chiefly and pri
marily it 13 and has been a chlld-placln
agency, the majority of the children coming
to us throunh court commitment when tne
society assumes the guardianship.
Legal Guardianship Avoided.
In addition the society accepts some
children directly from parents or relatives.
Only us a last resort, however, does the
society assume legal guardianship over any
child, employing field workers who "Pend
much of their time In co-operation wltn
county Judges and other officials in at
tempting to adjust the difficulties of un
fortunate families, and to keep children and
natural parents together or to place tne
children In charge of relatives able to
care for them. ' .
Many of our children come to us in
wretched physical condition. The physical
examination of each child upon entrance to
the Receiving Home indicated five times
out of seven that it Is in need of medical
care. This need is supplied by our "a"
of physicians and specialists who generally
donate their time. ... .
Operations and treatments would be im
possible were it not for the sympathetic co
operation of the Good Samaritan and bt.
Vincent's Hospitals. To their readiness to
receive our children and to their efficient
care of those in their wards we wish to give
due credit and appreciation.
We find that our children are in urgent
need of good food. It Is not uncommon to
receive children who are actually emaciated
from lack of nourishment.
W. F. Woodward, treasurer, reported
that the home Is in need of money, not
withstanding the fact that It Is well
managed and in good condition. ,
Mrs. C. R. Templeton, chairman of
the women's advisory board, paid trib
ute to the efficiency of Mr. Arne and
the' helpfulness of the medical staff,
and urged the. need of a hospital for
children.
An inspiring message of cheer and
Inspiration was delivered by Dr. T. L.
Eliot.
To fill expired terms upon the board
of directors, Mr". I. Blumauer, F. E.
Beach and Judge Robert S. Bean were
re-eljcted. After the meeting had ad
journed the members and guests In
spected the building. Everything was
spotlessly clean halls, kitchen, pan
tries, dormitories, dining-room all
wee shining.
Four cf the older girls are studying
domestic science and housekeeping
under a graduate dietitian. Meantime
they are assistant cooks. Everyone
is taught some helpful work. "We are
like one big cld-fashioned New Eng
land family," said Mrs. Heller, assistant
superintendent.
the County Court, which has been
progressing slowly fer a number of
months, revived slightly Saturday,
when, at a meeting of backers of the
petition, W. W. Gregory agreed to run
against Commissioner W. G. Leever
for the short term. Efforts to obtain
opponents for Judge F. L. TouVelle
and Frank Madden, the other Commis
sioners, failed. Judge George Dunn
was asked, to run against TouVelle,
but refused.
The committee gathering decided to
appoint a committee" to wait upon
Judge Dunn in a final effort to obtain
his candidacy. George Hilton was se
lected to run against Madden, but he
declined to- make the race. The sup
porters of the recall say they will have
the opposition' ticket complete, how
ever, before the end of the week.
RECALL MOVE TO START
POLK FARMERS TO TRY TO OUST
. COUNTY COMMISSIONER.
Judge May Be Included In Fight; Erec
tion of Concrete Bridge to Re
place Steel Is Canse.
DALLAS. Or.. June 13. (Special.)
The proposed recall of County Commis
sioner Beckett will be agitated at a
joint meeting of the Polk County Tax
payers' League and the Farmers'
Union in Dallas Thursday, according
to reports circulated today. George A.
Wells, another commissioner, was op
posed by the Farmers' Union and deJ
feated in the Republican primaries this
year for renomination.
Talk of recalling Judge-Tohn B. Teal
is also heard in some quarters.
The action of the County Court in
removing a steel bridge at Indepen
dence, replacing It with a concrete
structure, and straightening out the
road there, thus necessitating the re
moval of a grade that was established
but a few years ago, is the cause of
the agitation. The steel bridge was
built but a few years ago, and the
grade being removed is of recent con
struction. Taking the stand that these
improvements are unnecessary at this
particular time, and that the money
thus expended should be used In mak
ing passable other highways of the
county, the farmers are in arms against
the court.
The improvement at Independence
will do away with two dangerous turns
in the highway.
It is also proposed to build three
miles of hard surface pavement from
Independence north on the Salem road.
An injunction to stop payment for all
this work has been denied by Judge
Belt In the Circuit Court. A recall will
not have the effect of stopping any of
tne expenditure this year.
$602,000, IN TAXES DUE
Auditing of Coos Connty Records Is
Completed.
MARSHFIELD, Or., June 13. (Spe
cial.) The Coos County records have
been audited by Accountant W. H.
Wann, and it was found the
delinquent taxes now due the
county amount , to $602,000. The
county has been, in the absence of
payments on such taxes as are delin
quent, issuing county warrants which
are discounted heavily by this banks.
The larger amounts due the county
are from the Southern Oregon Company,
the Chadwlck tract of timber, near the
Coquille River and Beaver Slough, and
the Lm. d. Kinney estate. The money
owed by the Southern Oregon Company
is likely to be a total loss to the county,
since passage of the Congressional land
bill would necessarily allow nearly
$160,000 now In escrow to be returned
to the Southern Oregon Company.
ALBANY JUICE PLANT RISES
Machinery Is Being Installed to Care

ALBANY, Or., June 13. (Special.)

The plant will employ from 80 to 60
people, and has been located so that
It has access to both railroads, as
well as water transportation.
Deranged Man Taken From Train.
ROSE BURG, Or., June 13. (Spe
cial.) Charles Nelson, who was .en
route from San Francisco to Gardiner,
was taken'- from a Southern Pacific
train here late last night, suffering
trom dementia. He was committed
to a hospital here today, where he is
receiving medical treatment. Nelson is
well dressed, but is unable to give any
history of his past life. The officers
hope to locate his relatives before
committing him to the asylum.
LAlbany Climbers Iiet Mazamas Lead.
ALBANY. Or., June 13. (Special.)
Taking advantage of the fact that the
Mazamas were going to climb Mary's

Albany people joined the party and

Portland; has less traffic violation
than any city of its size in -the coun
try, declared Municipal Judge Lang
guth yesterday while dealing out some
stiff fines to speeders and others guilty
of traffic law offenses.
"There are far fewer accidents this

Dr. T. S. Besson, house doctor at the
Sellwood Hospital, was fined 23 after
he admitted that he was speeding on
Mllwaukie street between 28 and 30
miles an hour. According to Motorcycle
Patrolman Frank Ervin, who made the
arrest, the speed was 40 miles an hour.
Dr. Besson said he was in a hurry
to get to the hospital at the time and
that he considered there was no danger
owing to the fact that it was 1:45 in
the morning and no one was on the
streets.
M. J. Driscoll, who had his car parked
without lights on Grand avenue be
tween Clackamas and Halsey street,
with the result that C. C -kinley ran

-When Mr. Kinley declared he was
unable to see Mr. Driscoll's car, the
judge asked him if he were married
and riding with his wife at the time.
Mr. Kinley said he was and that he
had been married 13 years.
'The reason I asked," said Judge
Langguth, "was because I have noticed
that one's eyesight improves after mar
riage." Mr. Kinley declared his wife was in
bed the day following the accident be
cause of her injuries.
When asked by the Judge, Mr. Dris
coll admitted that he had helped build

knows Frank Ervin. He is the worst
hated man on the force."

CAROLINE FORD FIGHTS
FOR SAKE OF CHILD
Woman, Who Insists She Is Real Wife of-Homer N. Ford, Relates Wooing
and Ceremony by Alaskan Notary Public.
BY EDITH KNIGHT HOLMES.
CA.ROLINE VOGT FORD, who main
tains that she is the real wife of
Homer N. Ford, is one of the sad
dest women I ever met. Her eyes are
dirrmed by much weeping, and yet at
times she braces up and they flash de
termination. She has to fight for her
child, for her right to be known as a
true wife, she declares, and she will
not be crushed. For the little daugh
ter's sake she will be strong.
The Ford case, which has excited
widespread interest, was up before
Judge McGinn Monday. I saw Mrs.
Ford No. 1, that night. She showed me
printed programmes on. which her
name appeared. They showed that she
had sung before exclusive musical so
cieties and clubs.
"And they say I was a common music
hall and dance hall singer!" she ex
claimed. Through" tears and with evident suf
fering else she is a wonderful actress
Mrs. Ford told the long story start
ing with 'the day she sailed from San
Francisco in 1898 with & party of 85
persons joining the great rush to the
frozen North, Alaska,, the land of ice
and gold. And when she came to the
end, and Ford's alleged faults and neg
lect of herself and child had been gone
over in many details, she said: "But
every day I have prayed God that the
woman who took him from me and his
baby would come to her senses and
would influence him to do the right
thing. The world would forgive an
erring husband.
Woman Would Forgive.
And after all these long years of suf
fering this wife would forgive, for' she
believes hers to be a true marriage.
Caroline Ford told of her meeting
with Homer Ford how he followed her
from place to place, how he became ill
and she Hook him some beef tea, and
he began to pay her marked attentions
and say he intended to marry her. She
was a simple German girl, and away
up in Alaska. He insisted, she said,
and at last she consented. On Christ
mas eve., 1898, she said, the ceremony
took place. A typical wedding for a
1 rough, icebound country. .
"We were 2000 miles from Sitka.'
jsaid Mrs. Ford. "It waa Winter. They
told me that kind of wedding was all
right. We went before a notary, mak
ing the trip there by dog teams to
Eagle. There ivaere several witnesses
present. Three signed the paper. A
Cornell man who was there sent an ac
count to a. Washington paper. They
told how men had been 'bridesmaids'
in this typical northland wedding."

which she holds was right and holy
In the eyes of God and man.
In August, 1900, the first baby was
born. The mother told with pride of
its picture having been sent to the
Oregon State Fair and exhibited as
"the first baby born after the Klon
dike rush."
People of Standing; Friends.
Albert Heilig, Mrs. Heilig and their
daughter, Florence, relatives of Calvin
Heilig, were friends of Mrs. Ford. She
has letters from Mrs. Heilig written in
friendly, affectionate vein. The Heliigs

first baby died. Father Munroe, the

born May 26, 1904. It is for the sake
of this little girl that Mrs. Ford says
she will fight while there is a speck
of life in her.' This child must be
shown that she has the right to her
name. The mother is willing to work
for ' a living, she will deny herself,
scrimp, starve if need be. It isn't
money or anything but right she wants,
she says.
A graphic description of the hard
ships of the North, is Mrs. Ford's story.
In one instance she says her husband
had an important contract to carry
the freight from, a steamer that was
frozen in the ice. There was a $30,000
bond that the goods would be deliv
ered. Mrs. Ford did her part to keep
the contract. She rode for miles over
ice and snow to order the men to build
bobsleds.
In October, 1904, she came out of
Alaska again. She met her husband
at Seattle. They went to Jamestown,
N. IX She. was welcomed by Ford's
brother-in-law, Harold T. -Graves, of
the James River National Bank. His
people all made her feel at home. No
one questioned her right to be called
Mrs. Homer N. Ford.
Other Woman Enters.
Then came the "other woman." The
rest Is known to all who have followed
the case. The -wife came West, The
man took up his life with the one who
now says she is Mrs. Ford.
Here is an extract from one of the
letters which she says were written by
Ford, and she has scores In similar
vein. In each she is addressed as "My
Dear Wife."
"I long to see you and our dear little
one. I take out your pictures a dozen
times a day and look at them, and the
more I look the more homesick I get.
