Tlibtory of Founding of Organiza
tion Thirty Years Ago Is Related
: by Mrs. J. (B. Comstock and
Mrs. Henry E. Jones.
In the presence of a large number
or the founders of the Portland Worn
en's Union and others interested in its
nctlvities and progress, the corner
stone of the new building' to be erected
uy the organization as a home for self
supporting; girls was laid yesterday
with ceremonies befitting the occasion.
Thirty years ago the Portland Wom
en s Union was founded by several
women who realized that there would
exist a need for a home for the girl
who is a stranger in the city and lis
ready and willing to work for her liv
ing. Those who organized the union
determined to give the girls a comfort
able, homelike place where they'could
make themselves happy in pleasant
surroundings.
New Site Is Obtained.
The building that served for 25 years
Hi located at 510 Flanders street, but
for several years it has been the pur
pose of the board to establish a new
residence. Some time ago I500O was
saved toward the purchase of a new
. hite. and then Mrs. P. J. Mann gener
ously donated the $20,000 to complete
the purchase price $25,000 for the
property at Tenth and Montgomery
streets, and the union had the ground
for the building for which the members
had longed. The story of these events
anil the history of the founding and
the growth of the union were told in
the address of Mrs. J. B. Comstock.
president, and Mrs. Henry K. Jones, one
of the pioneers in the work, who
were speakers at the foundation-laying
services.
Whirling snowflakes did not dampen
the enthusiasm of the friends who at
tended, nor did the cold chill the
warmth and cordiality of the speakers,
who gave greetings and bespoke the
loyalty and co-operation of the women
in the interest of the great work they
had undertaken. Dr. T. ! Eliot, pastor
pmeritus of the First Unitarian Church,
offered-tho prayer. James. B. Kerr, a
member of the board of trustees, be
fcpoke the appreciation of the men for
the good worlc and devotion of the
women of the union who '"help rather
than give" to the self-supporting girls.
Miss Carrie A. Holbrook, president
of the y. W. C. A., congratulated the
Portland Women's Union on their suc
cess and also congratulated the busi
ness girls who would have a place
where they might make "real homes."
Past Presidents Praised.
In summing up the history of the
past, Mrs. Henry K. Jones paid tribute
to the past presidents, Mrs. Templeton,
Mrs. H. L. Pittock, Mrs. C. A. Coburn,
Mrs. P. J. Mann and Mrs. Helen Ladd
Corbett. She spoke highly of the work
of Mrs. F. Eggert when she was treas
urer and of the activity of Dr. Emma
J. Welty, Mrs. 8. A. Brown, Mrs. S. F.
Johnston and of others, many of whom
nre still living and were among thoee
who attended the service yesterday.
Mrs. Cpmstock, who opened the cere
monies with her address and closed
them with the application of the offi
cial troweiful of mortar, gave an inter
esting resume of the growth of the
union. She said in part:
"The first meeting of the union in
th Unitarian Church in 18S7 is indel
ibly stamped on my memory. We heard
the aims of the society and then elected
Mrs. Rosa F. Burrell president, and
Mrs. Henry E. Jones and Mrs. T. E.
Olapp vice-presidents; Miss Henrietta E.
Failing, recording secretary, and Mrs.
Helen Ladd Corbett, corresponding sec
retary; Mrs. Emma Lewis Bingham,
treasurer. The directors named were
Mrs. A. Holbrook, Mrs. M- H. Steers,
Mrs. A. Meier. Mrs. M. R. Andrews, Mrs.
W. S. Ladd. Mrs. H. A. Hogue, Mrs. C.
A. Coburn. Mrs. George Nichol and Dr.
Emma J. Welty.
"The aims were to maintain a home
and to promote the beat practical
methods for serving the industrial, ed
ucational and social advancement for
working girls and women and be
etrlctly non-sectarian."
Mrs. Comstock gave credit to Mrs.
P. J. Mann for her generosity and to
all the subscribers who had donated
toward the building fund.
The new building probably will be
finished early in the Summer.

PEKNAMBCCO. Brazil. Jan. 29.
From Information gleaned from sur
vivors of steamers sunk recently in the
South .Atlantic by the German raider,
it has been learned that the raider was
a vessel of the merchant type, about
800 feet long-, and with parts of her
sides movable. She had two telescope
masts, two telescope funnels, a false
hand steering: fear on the poop deck,
which concealed her largest (runs, and
four concealed torpedo tubes.
The steamer, it is said, mounted four
six-inch and two seven-inch guns and
also smaller guns, including several of
the machine type. She was equipped
with ventilators and was of the fruit
carrying type of boat, hjr between
decks space giving accommodations for
many prisoners.
Only Cars Boats Sonant.
The captain of the raider, according
to some of the men brought here. In
formed a captured British officer that
he was not interested in passenger
boats, he said, as he bad no accommo
dations for women and children. The
raider frequently was repainted, and
had on board sufficient material to
change her- appearance completely.
There is disagreement among the
men landed here as to whether the
raider is armored. All of them agree,
however, that the raider is thoroughly
equipped and that no detail in this
respect has been overlooked. As an
example, they say, each prisoner on
boarding the raider is furnished with
a kit, hammock and blanket.
The prisoners are kept In tho hold
behind iron doors. Enemy prisoners,
it was said, were allowed an hour daily
for exercise, while neutrals, who wore
white bands on their sleeves, had
ereater liberties and also received
Christmas presents made by German
glrl.
Ship Daagcroas, Captain Clever.
After December 12 the raider worked
southwest toward Pernambuco, her
most daring feat being th capture of
the British collier Minieh. which had
her-rope fenders still over her sides.
At XO o'clock on the morning of Jan
uary It the raider placed 237 persons
from the steamers on board the Jap
anese steamer Hudson Ma.ru. ' without
an accompanying prire crew.
The Japanese was ordered to follow
the raider until 6 o'clock in the even
ing, when he was to turn west and put
Into the nearest port. The orders were
obeyed, and the hungry survivors were
brought into Pernambuco.

PETROGBAD, Jan. 29, via London
Sergius bazonoff, ex-Foreign Minister,
who has Just been appointed Russian
Ambassador to London, commenting on
President Wilson's Senate speech in an
Interview printed In the Russian news
papers today, .voiced the view already
taked by most prominent Russians that
President Wilson's efforts to prevent
a repetition of the world war had his
full sympathy and especially commended
the idea of a peace league, but said he
failed to see the practical value of the
speech at this time.
"I must say," M. Sazonoff added,
"that I cannot see from reading the
speech how President Wilson hopes to
realize his Idea, which is by no means
new. It Is Impossible to understand
a peace without victory. It is quite
impossible to return to the status
quotante."
M. Sazonoff mentioned as the terms
without which the entente allies could
not consider peace these:
Restoration of Belgium and Serbia
and the retura to France of Alsace and
Lorraine.
The ceding of territory to Italy.
The freedom of Poland and Rou
manla. Russia's domination of the ' Darda
nelles and. free access to the sea.
Referring to the development of
Russian trade, he said:
"America and England have declared
several times their Intention to develop
trade relations with Russia and to
increase their export of goods to the
Russian market. All talk by our ene
mies that we shall find ourselves un
der the economic yoke of English and
French has no basis. It is not the
custom of the English and French to
oppress the countries to which they
are exporting goods. Germany's dream
of economic domination in Europe is a
lost hope."
