Botsford and Arthur Serr were awarded pretty Esther Lindberg, agred 19. by a jury in the court of Circuit Judge McGinn yesterday. Miss Lindberg sustained an Injured spine and three broken ribs in an auto mobile accident -when she was the BUest of Mr. Botsford. The automobile was owned by Mr. Botsford, but was driven by Mr. Serr.

Miss Mabel Mcrley. who. with Miss Lindberg, was an operator at a local telephone office, was a guest of Mr. Kerr the night of the ride. She could not be found to testify yesterday. "I've been unable to find her." tes tified Miss Lindberg. "She cared more for Mr. Serr than she did for me." The ride was taken by Miss Lindberg at the invitation of her chum. Miss Morley. who was slightly acquainted with Mr. Botsford. but knew Mr. Serr quite well. All sat in a small racing car. Miss Lindberg on the floor, and Mr.-Botsford on a tool-box on the run ning board. The accident happened in Montavilla when the car swerved out of the road at the approach of another machine. Plana to Go Home Shattered. Miss Lindberg planned to leave for her home in Nebraska the next day and was taking one "last ride" in Port land. She was in the hospital six weeks. "They passed me going about 50 miles an hour." testified F. M. Kreiger. "I was going the limit of 25 miles. 1 taw no license on the machine." The license tag was found in the body of the car.

Mr. Botsford was slightly cut about the face. The girl was puing for J15.0J0.

CRIMINOLOGIST THATCHER GOES BACK OF "HOSING" TO CAUSES Violent Prisoners of Certain Type Require Treatment for Pathological Conditions Causing Outburst, as With Insane Patients, Not Punishment. BY GEORGE A. THACHER, of Prisoners' Aid Society. THE OREGOXIA.N'S editorial com ment on the trial of the two little boys, the eldest being 12 years, for the murder of their schoolteacher in Idaho contains the gist of the con clusions of modern criminologists. That is, in a few words, that persons guilty of crime eliould be treated ac cording to their mental responsibility for their acts, which, of course, in volves the probabilities concerning their future conduct. The Oregonian in speaking ol these children Bays: "For mental immaturity and moral ignorance, rather than a wanton, vicious and vengeful spirit, are responsible for this most aston ishing crime." It is easy to see tZie truth of this In the case of young children, but it i not so easy to see how it applies to physical adults, though one-half of one per cent of all physical adults have the minds of young children, and no one can hope for any improvement in their mental condition. Tjat is to say, in the city of Port land there are about 1500 persons who have the mental equipment of these little boys who killed their school teacher in Idaho. "Hosing'' Cane Cited. Take another illustration. In the same issue of The Oregonian contain ing t!iis sensible editorial, ex-Warden Minto tells of the conduct of two con victs in the Penitentiary which se cured for them the old-fashioned pun ishment, of "hosing." Both of these men have been convicted of crime be fore, and one is now under conviction for an offense whic;i requires a mental aberration in the Mlttject before he could possibly be even tempted to commit it. From information obtained from ex prisoners, his companion in the "hos ing" episode Is the same kind of an unfortunate. That is to say, one of these prisoners is a convicted pervert known as a homosexual, and the other is probably of the same type. Tills form of Insanity i practically always associated with an abnormally sensitive or irritable nervous system, and Its victims are sometimes hyuteri cal and sometimes uncontrollable. Kncts of Generally- Known. Specialists know these facts, but Mr. Mlnto. In common with the general public, and the members of the Legis lature who paw the laws to punish crime, simply assume that this form of Insanity is only a peculiarly repul sive crime for whic'j stern measures are necessary. Of course, this raises the question of what Is insanity, which Is supposed to be some specific mental complaint. For instance, paresis, dementia precox and oaranoia are known as insanity, but sexual aberration?, unless they involve the sadistic act of killing, are not re garded by the public nor by the medi cal profession as sufficient grounds for confinement of the patient, except for a short period at some unusual out break. That is. unless criminal conduct can be pro-ed (when the offender in sent to prison) such Individuals go at lar, iSe r I I PIO.VEER OV NORTHWEST PASSES AT WAI.LA WALLA.

Point Axans freely, and are often very . public spirited and usually have the artistic temperament. Confinement Only Aggravates. Of course, only the most aggravated cases are convicted of criminal acts and are sent to the Penitentiary, where naturally the surroundings are not such as to soothe the intensely ir ritable nervous systems of these un balanced men. The Penitentiary Is the most de pressing and disturbing Institution in Salem, so that for a man of the type mentioned, who as the Asiatics say, is "marked with the potter's thumb." and who has never had the temperament nor the training to acquire" self-control, there is nothing remarkable In his run ning amuck and smashing things. However, the question is what to do with him? Of course as the trouble Is pathological neither punishment nor pleading nor solitary confinement will have much effect. As society objects to euthanasia for unfortunates, prob ably the only thing is to treat them when they are of this type as they treat violent patients in the hospital for the insane. Modern Methods Humane. In old days the insane were beaten and whipped and 6tarved and chained in cellars or cages, but modern meth ods are regarded ab more humane. Of course these men were Bubdued after the fierce strain on their nervous systems, producing exhaustion as tne result of the hosing. But. it would probably work Just as well to put them forcibly In a very hot bath in a tub and keep them there under the direction of a physician as long as It was safe, and then put them in their bunks. As" a water cure, the bathtub beats the firt- hose with a stream of cold water that would knock a man down tiniest he were chained up. and which would bruise a man black and blue. Cruelty Not Intended. I have no idea that Mr. Minto pro posed to be unnecessarily cruel, but he had to do something, and his training as a Sheriff and Chief of Police prob ably never included a study of the physical and nervous causes which im pelled these men to commit the crimes for which they were imprisoned. The Oregonian in speaking of Jesse Pomeroy, who has been in prison for nearly half a century, says: "Who will say that death in the beginning would not havo been a merciful relief?" And yet. society could do something to limit and lessen the number of these abnormal beings without imposing death on those who have been born. Public Most to niamr. Mr. Minto has been savagely criti cised for ignorance in trying to con trol two of these unfortunates. At the same time the citizens of Oregon are infinitely more cruel and more unjust to society at large and to the next generation in providing a system of prison detention for a few years for such offenders and then turning them loose on the public to repeat their of fenses. Think what they are liable to do nay. certain to do! And we call Mr. Minto cruel. Bah!

Three more five-masted auxiliary schooners will be launched along the river during the next 30 days, the first to bo the initial launching at the yard of the Peninsula Shipbuilding Company Saturday, the second will be the S. I. Allard. at the St. Helens Ship building Company's yard a week later and two to three weeks aiterwara me second carrier built by the McEachern Shipbuilding Company, at Astoria, will take to the water. Since the new ship construction era struck the Columbia and inameiie district more than a year ago. when the McCormick interests announced the plan to build the City of Portland, pio neer of the new tVDes on the Coast. there have been launched the City of Portland, the June and Ruby at St. Helens, with the City of Astoria at As toria. The latter event took place al most a month ago and all the craft at sea except the Citv of Astoria, wnicn is being finished rapidly and will be loading before Christmas. The second vessel at the McEachern plant is well along, calkers being on the last of their work on deck and only the completion of the bulwarks remains to give the hull a finished ap pearance. Her launching could be ad vanced only for the fact It Is aimed to do the last work on the first ship In advnnce of the second being floated. Schooner No. 6, which was started on Xo. 1 ways immediately on the Initial launching being over. Is about one third framed and the removal of schooner No. 2 from her cradle will permit the seventh vessel to be laid down at once. A fourth carrier to take the water before long is the second of two steam schooners Wilson Brothers, of Astoria, are turning out for the McCormick fleet. The first vessel, named the W'a kena. was floated November 9 and will be loaded with lumber and towed to San Francisco to receive her machin ery. Early In' 1917 more will be ready, as the McEachern system is to get a ship afloat every 60 days and the first building at the Standifer-Clarkson yard will be in shape, also one at the Columbia Engineering Works, the sec ond "at tho Peninsula plant and the City of St. Helens at the St. Helens Shipbuilding Company. In February the Northwest Steel Company should have the first of its seven 8800-ton freighters launched and from then on work aboard steel ships will be as lively as among the wooden carriers. SCIIOOXEU OX OXE LONG TACK Carrier Dove .Ploughs Through Pa cific 4 5 Days Without Shift. Sailing 45 days on one tack with either northeast or southeast wind blowing was the unusual experience of the schooner Carrier Pove, Captain Wilson, on her run of 71 days from Adelaide to the Columbia River. "I passed 60 miles east of Hawaii Island, the ship sailing harp on the wind, and I made the vicinity of the river by tacking two or three times, but if it "iai not been for the watch fulness of the master of the Port of Portland tug Oneonta I probably would not have gotten inside." said Captain Wilson. "I must say there is a big im provement in the tug service, for when I wa here 10 years ago 1 was outside nine days." The Carrier Dove is on the Port of Portland drydock for cleaning and painting. iShe loads lumber for Fre- mantle and some of the cargo will be redwood from Kureka. to be brought by the steamer Breakwater.

NOKWOOD 1IEHK l'OIl PAPKIS Windber, Taken to Keilcve Wheat Congestion, Is on Way North. Hailing from Puget Sound. the steamer Norwood, fixed last week by the Crown Willamette Paper Company to transport paper from Portland to California, reached the river yesterday and arrived in the harbor last night, so she will be given immediate dis patch, perhaps sailing late tonight. The vessel will make a second voyage and possibly a third. She berthed at Ains worth dock last night to clean up paper assembled there. The steamer Windber. taken by the Globe Grain & Milllnp Company for the same reason the Norwood was fixed, to move freight delayed by a conges tion due to limited tonnage on the regular lines, left San Francisco for Portland Saturday night and, will bo along tomorrow to work wheat for California. BAXDOX' DREDGE PLANS PEND Commissioners Walt for Decision on Coquillo River Project. MAKSHFIELD. Or.. Nov. 10. fSpe ciaL) The construction of a dredge for the Port of Bandon, while being -discussed and looked upon with favor, has not been ordered, and the Com missioners expect to await the decision of the Government upon the port's ap plication for a project of a channel of 12 feet between Bandon and Coquille in the Coquille River. The Elmore company recently served notice upon the port that they would no longer risk navigating the Coquille River to the city of Coquille unless nav igation was made safer by the removal of snags. Discontinuance of visits of the gasoline schooner Patsy would leave Coquille without satisfactory transportation. Coos Bay Bar Has 33-Foot Depth. MAKPHFIELD.' Or., Nov. 20. (Spe cial.) The bar depth on Coos Bay, 10 days alter the departure of the Gov ernment dredge Colonel P. S. MIchle. Is reported by Captain B. W. Olson as 33 feet at low water.

The Benicia was fixed by J. J. Moore & Co. for Sydney, her en gagement having been made some time ago at 75 shillings while the Olympic gets a rate of 130 shillings. The lientcla loads S50.000 feet. The Merchants Exchange was advised by telegraph yesterday that the schooner Amy Turner, American built but now under the British emblem, reached Shanghai November 17. with a lumber cargo loaded on the river. She was reported ashore at the entrance to Yangtse River November 14. be ing hauled into deep water by a tug and towed to her destination.

The arrangement includes painting the piling and marking the first at each entrance with the name of the inlet and a fingerboard pointing the di rection. The work Is to be execuiea during the Winter and navigators claim the Improvements will be a very mate rial aid to the small craft which rly the waters of Coos Bay and its tribu taries. ' SOUTH AMERICA BUYS WHEAT Two Sailers Taken to Load at Ade laide for Callao. Australian grain dealers are estab lishing" themselves In the West Coast trade, a zone reached from t'je North west In times when tonnage wa plen tiful, nnd two charters were made last week for the business from the Anti podes to South America, the American ship Star of Poland being fixed at 70 hininira nnd the barkentine Hawaii at 76 shillings to load wheat at Ade-1 laide ror cal'ao. Exporters here do not look for a ma terial movement of Australian cereal to f,e West Coast and reason that with the difference in the market North west firms easily could compete with the Australians. But the! tonnage fea ture fs a drawback, besides the big movement from this district at present Is by railroad to the Atlantic and thence by water to Europe. Halibut Steamer Sinks, Crew Saved.
