0 18 THE MORNING OREGOXIANY MONDAY, JULY 3, 191G. STUDENT SOLDIERS' MOTHERS PROTEST Instructors Accused of En couraging Enlistment With out Setting Example. MEETING IS TO BE HELD Anger Is Directed at Frank Mangold and Samuel May, or Jefferson Higli School: Latter Opposes Entry Into Guard. An indignation meeting , of the mothers of Jefferson High School boys who went to the border with the ma chine grun company under Captain F. P. Tebbetts. will be held at Imperial Ho tel Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock. A. protest will be made because instruct ors at Jefferson who are said to have influenced the boys to become members of the organization did not o with the company to the Mexican border. Th3 meeting- will be presided over by Mrs. J. L. May, wife of Lieutenant-Colonel May. The trouble has been brewing some time. The students, it is alleged, were influenced to join the company by Sam uel May, track and field coach and in structor of government, and Frank Mangold, another teacher at Jefferson. Mr. Mangold withdrew in February be cause of the illness of Mrs. Mangold and because he has four little chil dren. Mr. May said he was in favor of the student corps and in tended to join until he saw that the boys would have to drill with the Ore gon National Guard and vere subject to call. He then slackened h i 3 personal interest and did not join. Ho kept se cret from the boys his objections to their being mustered into the Oregon National Guard because he did not want to seem unpatriotic. May Ends Interview Abruptly. Following the announcement of the mothers that they would hold an indig nation meeting, Mr. May was asked to explain the situation at Jefferson. He said he was morally back of the corps movement and was partly responsible for a number of boys joining. He said his school work and outside activities made it impracticable for him to attend drill, however. Asked for a statement on the "slack er" charges of the mothers, Mr. May abruptly ended the telephone conversa tion. Hopkin Jenkins, principal of Jeffer son, explained that the National Guard unit movement was purely a volunteer movement and that some of the teach ers favored having Jefferson rep resented. Eventually. Mr. May gave out the fol lowing statement: "When the boys of my classes asked me "Shall I join the company?" I said "Yes, by all means." When I learned that the boys were going to be put through actual drill with the Oregon National Guard I attended the first meeting and decided not to join, t.o asked to be let out. The officers at the Armory requested me not to tell the boys that I did not believe in the movement." Protest Pot X'p to Mothers. Mr. May said he gave the boys a pic ture of Thomas Jefferson to put up in their drill room and encouraged them, but he also said that he spoke to the school board and called up one of the mothers and told her to protest against the high school boys being put with the Oregon National Guard. He said that he left the brunt of the protest to be Borne by those who had "more iuflu ence and prestige." "Of course I would not have ex Pressed my sentiments to the boys, for did not want to dampen their patriot ism." said Mr. May. "But I spoke my inougnts rreely to older men." He attributes the attitude the mothers Bre taking to hysteria. An episode at a recent flag presenta tion to the machine gun company has a oearing on tne indignation meetine. There were 24 Jefferson High School boys who went with the machine gun company. Most of them were 18 years of age. Mrs. May, who is heading the protest, is tne mother of Eugene May, who went with the boys. Her other son, Frank May, is with Company F. Her husband, Lieutenant-Colonel May, of the Third Oregon Infantry, has gone to tne oorder also. It is said that at the flag nresenta. tion Wednesday at Clackamas, the boys asked their instructors at school why they were not in uniform.

The indorsement of the open shop resolution recently adopted by the board of directors of the Chamber of Commerce is expected to be nearly unanimous when the returns of the referendum that is now being held in the membership are complete. The referendum ballots were sent out last week for the purpose of getting a full expression from the members. Such confirmation, placing the business men of the city definitely on record, is expected to have an important moral effect in the work that the Chamber is taking up in this connection.

BERRY HARVEST STARTS WILLAMETTE VALLEY LOGANBER RY CROP MAY BE 6000 TOXS. Much Activity Manifested Near Salem, Where Big Plant Will Press Out 400,000 Gallons of Juice. The work of harvesting loganberries started in the various districts of the Willamette Valley during the past week, and the handling of a crop, which is expected to mean approximately $300,000 to the growers this year, is now well under way. Plants for pack ing and drying this berry and the manufacture of loganberry juice are now at work handling the product. The activity in the handling of the loganberry is particularly a prominent feature of the harvest in the vicinity of Salem, where it is estimated 80 per cent of the loganberry crop is grown. The loganberry crop Is reported to be good this year, and a fair price is being quoted. The price given by plants handling this berry ranges around cents. It is estimated that there are 2000 acres of loganberries in the state this year to be harvested. These will pro duce, for a good yield, three tons to the acre, making a yield estimated at around 6000 tons of the fruit. Among the large plants handling loganberries is that o"f the Pheasant Fruit Juice Company, located at Salem This plant has begun operation, and five big hydraulic presses are working day and night to get out 400,000 gal Ions of loganberry juice. RELIGIOUS LIBERTY URGED Speaker Tells .Why Xo One Church Can Ever Become Universal. "No one church or religion can ever become universal in the true sense o being accepted by all mankind," said H. C. Uthoff last evening in speaking before the Portland Rationalist Society at Central Library. "The reasons for this conclusion," he continued, "lie in human nature itself. Differences in religious temperament and emotion among individuals of one race or na tion inevitably result in varying reli gious beliefs and practices. In addition divergent racial characteristics pro duced by nature, as well as age-long traditional beliefs closely associated with national language, literature and art, make uniformity of religious creed impossible. "In view of this variety of religiou opinion, the state should guarantee to the individual the right of private J Judgment in accepting or rejecting any ICIIglUUQ ICILCL, Ll Lilt? billlie lliUC ftDOl lshing all special privileges and ex emptions for any particular creed."

Bankers Forecast Bond and StocW Buy ing and Investments In Industrial Enterprises. , The lowering of the rate of interest on savings accounts in the Portland banks from 4 to 3 per cent, which be came effective Saturday, has revealed that some Portland savings accounts have grown into sizable nest-eggs and the change in interest rate is expected by the bankers of the city to have but one noticeable effect, and that may be that the larger accounts will be changed into the form of investments in stocks or bonds, or some other form that will yield a higher rate. It is apparent, as a result of the change, that the savings method, can develop pretty substantial little for tunes, as many of the accounts in local banks amount to $5000, $10,000 or even $15,000 or more. "The change in the rate will have practically no appreciable effect on the savings accounts," said Emery Ol in stead, of the Northwestern National Bank, yesterday. "Most of the small accounts are kept not so much for the interest there is in them, as for the purpose of having the money handy in case of need. We have observed no appreciable effect upon our savings business as & result of the reduction of interest." E. L. Thompson, of Hartman & Thompson, expressed the same opinion. "Many of the banks in the city have been doing savings business for years on a 3 per cent rate." he said. "I think that the general reduction that went into effect Saturday will have no material effect on the business. "It may work out as a great benefit, not only to those who have savings accounts large enough to invest, but to the industrial life of the -city, by en couraging money to go out into invest ment in industrial ventures, which will have much to do with the growth and prosperity of the city in future." SONG OF PIONEERS SUNG GIRL DEDICATES POEM TO TRAIL BLAZERS OF OREGON. Grace A. Gilliam, Daughter ( Early Settlers, Scores lilt With Her Story. Sons; of Discovery Days. "The Oregon Pioneers," a poem dedi cated to the trail blazers, has been set to music and offered as the official song for the pioneer associations of the state. It was written by Grace A. Gilliam, herself a daughter of a pioneer family of Eastern Oregon, and was set to music by her brother, W Albert Gilliam. The publisher is C. W. Oliver, her brother-in-law, who is like wise a descendant of a well-known Umatilla pioneer. The author is the Republican candidate for Treasurer of Lmatilla County. The sentiment of the song comes from a unique conceit that, while the pioneers "chased a rainbow," they ma terialized the vision by unearthing the pot of gold our Oregon land. The song was sung at a pioneer re. union by a quartet ot the Gilliam fam ily, and created much enthusiasm. It was then suggested that the song be officially adopted by Oregon pioneer societies. 1 Grangeville Doctor's Home Burns. GRANGE VILLE, Idaho, July 2. (Special.) The residence of Dr. H. V.
