MAYOR BAKER IS SPEAKER
Judge McConrt Extends Greetings
on Behalf of Governor Mrs.
Kester Gives Response.
Three hundred parents and teach
ers of Portalnd and all parts of the
state packed the T. W. C. A, audi
torium last night at the opening
meeting of the annual Parent-Teacher
association convention.
Mayor Baker delivered the address
f welcome. "Portland always wel
comes those who have an object, and
particularly welcomes . those whose
object Is moral uplift." he said. "I
hope your deliberations will bring
results.
"I know of no greater work the
Parent-Teacher association can do
than to educate the parent to realize
his duty to his child. The parent who
thinks only of his own pleasure or
amusement is criminally responsible
for the future of his child.
"Too many parents do not know
what their children are doing. We
have a committee to watch the boy
and girl life of our city, but they
should have the co-operation of the
- parents also. It is wrong to ex
pect police regulation of the home.
The problem of juvenile delinquency
ilea in the home. The Parent-Teach-erer
association can do much to bring
about a better child in every respect."
Jadge Extends Greetings.
Tn the absence of Governor Oleott,
who was unable to attend the con
vention on account of official bus
iness. Judge McCourt extended greet,
ings to the assembly on behalf of the
governor.
Mrs. J. F. Hill, president of the
Portland council, welcomed the visi
tors, speaking for the association
which she represents.
"America needs mothers, the right
kind of mothers," she said. "No mat
ter what a woman's honors may be
in affairs of state, it is when she
is proclaimed a mother that she"
reaches her height."
Mrs. Bruce Kester of Vale deliv
ered the response, stating the good
that arises from the conventions and
expressing- appreciation of the hos
pitality shown by the Portland coun
cil. Year's Work Revle-tved.
Mrs. C. W. Hayhurst. president or
the state association, reviewed the
work of the year, explaining also the
needs for the coming year.
The problem of more adequate sal
aries for teachers and better boarding-
places for them were discussed
by Mrs. Hayhurst. Another need, she
said, was that of a survey of the
physical and sanitary conditions of
the school buildings.
"Supervising amusements at the
end of the week for the young peo
ple is a splendid work for the 'parent
teacher associations everywhere." she
declared. "In the rural communities
and small towns it may supply a
much-felt want, and in the cities the
supervised amusements will tend to
keep them away from the commer
cialized amusements and thus will
lessen the juvenile delinquency."
Allowance I Recommended.
Mrs. Hayhurst recommended in her
address that legislation be enacted
providing a larger allowance to be
given the children of dependent
mothers.
Superintendent Churchill spoke on
"The Russell Sage Foundation Re
port," explaining the efficiency of
Oregon's educational system.
George Hotchkiss Street sang three
solos, little Miss Dorothy Shapiro
gave a reading and Miss Mildred
.Nichols a violin number. Following
the programme a social hour was en
Joyed. Meetings will be held today at 9
A. M. and 2 P. M. at the Central
library. Reports of the various com
mittees will consume most of the
.business of the day. A tea will be
given at 4:30 o'clock at the Museum

MOT DEATH RATE HEM
SOLDIERS IX FRANCE SAFER
THAX IXFAXTS IX PORTLAND.
Dr. Moore Tells Medical Society of
Failure Properly to Care for
Xew-Born Children.
"It was safer to be a soldier in
France than a baby In Portland dur
ing the late war. Only 2s per cent
of all the soldiers we sent to France
lost their lives there from all causes,
while 6.9 per cent of the babies
born in Portland last year died be
fore the end of their first year."
This statement, backed up by sta
tistics, was made before the city and
county medical society in their regu
lar meeting last night by Dr. C. U.
Moore, in an address on "The Care
of the New Born."
Dr. Moore pointed out that Port
land has the highest Infant mortality
rate of any coast city of its size. The
nly way to combat the situation, he
aaid-, was by the initiating of plans
for infant welfare wjrk on a wider
scale than formerly, so that ultimately
the city of Portland might have a i
clinic for every 20.0U0 inhabitants.
In a detailed ami highly instructive
address on the care and treatment of
the newly-born infant. Dr. Moore told
how many time-honored practices in
regard to the child's diet and general
physical care had been relegated to
the scrap heap and how newer and
saner practices based entirely upon
scientific formulae were being
preached) among the profession.
"Let us remember that our high In
fant mortality places upon us a civic
duty," he told the assembled physi
cians. "Let us remember that our In
fant welfare" stations, if properly sup
ported and encouraged, will save
lives, make homes happy and benefit
the fair name of Portland."
Charts displayed before the assem
bled doctors showed the progress
made in various cities of the United
States during the past few years to
ward the checking of Infant mortality
through the Infant welfare work.' New
York, according to the charts, had
forced their Infant mortality down
from 28 to 8 per -cent during the past
decade, and New Haven from 26 to 7
per cent during the same period.
Other papers were presented at the
session. Including a paper on "Pre
natal care," by Dr. C. Booth, who
stated that 20,000 women die annually
in the United States as a direct or
indirect result of childbirth. A very
large percentage of these deaths were
the result of opposition on the part of
the prospective mother to go to a hos
pital during the period of confine
ment where the proper surroundings
for expert treatment were available.
Dr. C. F. Stafrin presented a paper
on the 'question, "Should. Cathartics
Be Used. During Puerperum?" and a
general discussion followed, led by
Drs. Booth, Koyes and Patrick.
Dr. A- IS. Mackay, president of the
association, presided overthe session.-

cause of Radical Tendencies.
LONDON", Oct. 20. A motion made
In the house of commons today call
ing for a public inquiry into reprisals
In Ireland was withdrawn this eve
ning after heated debate. The gov
ernment, which had firmly resisted
the demand for the Inquiry, had a
large majority in the house at the
time of the withdrawal.
Lord Robert Cecil, ex-assistant sec
retary for foreign affairs, and ex
Premier Asquith both pressed urgent
ly for an inquiry. Lord Robert de
claring that the administration in Ire
land in the last 18 months was one
of the most disastrous and tactless
things in the country's history.
Mr. Asquith asserted that there was
prima facie evidence that some of
ficers and servants of the executive
in Ireland had far exceeded the limits
of legitimate self-defense and that
until the perpetrators of the reprisals
received punishment there would not
be the shadow of respect for the au
thorities in Ireland.
Reprisals Held Condemned.
Andrew Bonar Law, government
leader in the house, based his refusal
of an inquiry on the necessity of sup
porting the officials and others re
sponsible for the security of law and
order. He declared the authorities
had condemned the reprisals, which
since then had been greatly reduced.
The government, he added, could be
no party to any surrender to crime.
On a motion to adjourn. Commander
Joseph M. Kenworthy, independent
liberal member for Hull, raised the
question of Lord Mayor .MacSwiney,
Who is a hunger striker- in Brixton
prison. He said he had received a
telegram from the lord mayor's wife
and sister saying the prison doctor
had threatened the patient with forci
ble feeding with lime juice.
Information Is Denied.
Edward Shorft, secretary for home
affairs, replied that he had no infor
mation, but if the doctor thought lime
juice would ease MacSwiney and help
him to live and regain his faculties,
the doctor would be justified in try-
ng to induce him to take it and, in
deed, in forcing it upon him.
Mr. Shortt added that he was aware
that the prisoner had taken light
medicines from time to time, but that
he did not know whether he had taken
lime juice.
The Irish debate in the house or
commons today resolved itself into a
duel between the opposition and the
government, the former demanding
and the latter resisting independent
Inquiry into reprisals.
Th&ydefense of the government set
up by air Hamar ureenwoofl. cnier
secretary for Ireland, was that "while
the Asquithians put the emphasis on
the reprisals, I put it on the provo
cation."
He insisted that no case had been
made out for what, he characterized
as Arthur Henderson's insulting res
olution, demanding? an inquiry into
the reprisals by the police and sol'
diers in Ireland.
He incidentally remarked that
America was no longer, welcoming
immigration from Ireland because it
did not desire to swell the vast total
of disturbing elements in the repub
lic, and he declared his intention to
rake Ireland from end to end, includ
ing Ulster, in the search for arms.

Field for Portland Commerce,
' Closed Many Years, Sow Re
opening, Says J. E. Gushing.
The reopening of a field for Port
land commerce that has been closed
many years was revealed by the an
nouncement yesterday that John E.
Cushing, former director of opera
tions of the United States shipping
board and now an executive of Will
iams, Dimond & Co. of San Francisco
that the steamer Hawaiian, due to
arrive here about the middle of next
month, will take a shipment of 1500
tons of Portland flour to Charleston.
S. C.
The steamer Hawaiian will be the
first -vessel to come to this coast in
the new inter-coastal service of the
United American lines, restoring the
old service of the American-Hawaiian
line. A demand in the Charleston dis
trict served by Charleston for the
cheaper grades of Pacific coast flour,
combined with the high railroad
freight rates from the middle western
points, allow the Portland millers to
enter this territory under competi
tive conditions.
Following the arrival of the steam
er Hawaiian, Mr. Cushing said, the
company plans to maintain a schedule
of two sailings a month m each di
rection. The Hawaiian and Oregon lan
will call here in November, the Sud
bury and Mexican in December and
the Texan and one other steamer in
January.
Williams, Dimond & Co. are Pa
cific coast agents for the new line.
Mr. Cushing was in the city yester
day conferring with the Columbia
Pacific company, which will handle
the service in Portland.

Former Secretary Denounces Sen
ators and Others "Who Have
Distorted Original Pact."
TWIN FALLS. Idaho, Oct. 20.
William G. McAdoo. former secre
tary of the treasury, in an address
here tonight on the league of nations
denounced those senators and poli
ticians who, he said, have distorted
and mangled the original pact be
yond its authors' recognition. He
characterized the league issue as the
momentous question of the time, not
merely as an -international matter,
but as one that vitally concerns the
nation's domestic affairs. He desig
nated it as the transcendent question
of humanity, and asked his audience
to "listen, not as republicans, not as
democrats, but as citizens Interested
in the welfare of the country we all
love above everything else."
The former cabinet officer attacked
what he termed the vacillating policy
of the republican candidate and ques
tioned his ability ts davise any asso
ciation as practical as that brought
back from Paris by President . Wil
son. He called attention to the fact
that there is no one with whom the
United. States can associate but Rus
sia, whose internal affairs are in such
a state, he declared, that it ie impos
sible for her to discharge her inter
national obligations; infidel Turkey
and Mexico, whose government we
have not yet recognised. The elim
ination of these three, he said, leaves
the United States a member of a
strictly military alliance Involving
Germany and Austria.
WAR MEASURE IS URGED
RESTORATION OF FINANCE
CORPORATION DESIRED. "
Bankers to Appeal to President to
Take Action to Promote Amer
ica's Export Trade.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 20. A group
of bankers attending the national
convention here of the American
Bankers' association decided tonight
to ask President Wilson to recreate
the war finance corporation to aid
in exporting cotton, wheat and other
agricultural products.
The action was taken after Eucrene
Meyer, Jr., formerly managing direc
tor of the corporation, had explained
that the funds placed at the disposal
of the corporation were still avail
able should Its powers be restored.
The meeting was called to hear
Mr. Meyer discuss methods of financ
ing export trade.
Mr. Meyer's advocacy of a resump
tion ' of the corporation's activities
was based upon what he declared
was a very exacting need for the
extension of credits.
"The use of credits in the hands
of those who know how to use them,"
he said, "can be most helpful, useful
and healing for America."
Even though admitting the wisdom
of suspending the work o.f the cor
poration last June, he said new con
ditions had arisen that now appeared
to warrant a resumption.
"I voice the opinion of others In
recommending resumption," he added,
declaring he had consulted 25 of the
largest bankers and found them
unanimously" in favor of the re
sumption.
Business is no longer prosperous.
Mr. Meyer asserted, adding that un
employment was steadily increasing
and that utilization of the corporation
now would tend to stabilize business
and finally bring about lower prices.
HOLMES TO PLEAD HERE
Alleged White Slaver and Slacker
Will Face Federal Court.
Leo A. Holmes, arrested in Astoria
recently on a charge of violation of
the Mann act, will not be returned to
Duluth, Minn., for trial as an alleged
draft evader, but will face the fed
eral court here, according to Deputy
United States Attorney Charles
Reames. Holmes is said to have
transported Mrs. Dora Peterson from
Aberdeen to Portland last June.
Slacker charges which may be
brought against Holmes accuse him
of failing to register for the first
draft and then of procuring deferred
classification by having Mrs. Peter
son sign papers as his wife.
BUILDING TO BE RAZED
Inflnenza Barracks in South Port
land Hare Fulfilled Mission.
The unsightly barracks adjacent to
the county hospital in South Fort
land will be removed, all-use for the
buildings having passed, according to
City Commissioner Mann yesterday.
The city council, after hearing Mr.
Mann's report . on the barracks, ap
pointed Commissioners Mann and
Barbur as a committee to confer with
county officials for the removal of
the barracks.
These buildings were erected by the
city and county to care for influenza
patients. The new contagion hcJspt
tal has been completed and is ready
for occupancy, according to City
Health Officer Farrisit.
Soft Drink Dealers Quit.
The soft drink business appeals no
more to William S. Lahey and C. S.
Cleveland, who, .after being fined
1100 and $50. respectively, when they
pleaded guilty in federal court yes
terday to having fruit juices in their
establishment containing more than
the legal amount of alcohol, sold out
their establishment and decided to
enter some business where their stock
will not "work while they sleep."
Their ' attorney contended that the
soft drink business could hardly be
conducted legally because fruit juices
ferment soon after the container is
opened. .
Airplane Company Sued.
The "Oregon, Washington & Idaho
Airplane company is defendant in a
suit for $10,200 filed in federal court
yesterday by the Union National bank
of Seattle. The local company is said
to have guaranteed payment for ,
plane delivered to J. C. Sullivan at
Seattle, and when he failed to pay
within the stipulated time the bank
brought suit. The bank asserts it
advanced the money to Sullivan, al
lowing him to take the plane from a
Seattle express office where it had

MAYOR ASKED TO WRITE
STORY OX PORTLAND VICTORY
OVER DISEASE IS "WAX TED.
Health Authorities Would Have
Other Cities Know How One
Handles Social Problem.
Mayor -Baker has been requested to
prepare an article outlining how Port
land succeeded in coping with the so
cial disease problems during ,the war,
for use by the United States public
health service.
The request was made in a letter
received by the mayor yesterday from
Iavid Rob ineon, a former Portland
resident, who is now director of the
section of legal measures of the public
health service with headquarters in
Washington, D. C. .
In part the letter says:
I know that It mast have been with
considerable pride that you learned the
enviable position that Portland achieved
tn the venereal disease survey recent! 5
completed by the United States public
health service. Little did either of ue
know that the work undertaken in the
early days of the war in Portland would
have resulted in such recognition.
The problems which .confronted you In
Portland when this work was undertaken
were not different from those now existing
In many cities in the United States. Adop
tion of ordinances were not enough ; had
you not whole-heartedry backed the pro
gramme and Insisted upon your police de
partment rigidly enforcing the law, these
ordinances would have been more or less
dead-letter.
I am in touch with conditions in evfr?
city in the United States, and occasionally
come in contact with uniformed city of
ficers or men who can be judged more
harshly. They insist, of course, that pros
titution cannot be curbed or eliminated,
and that the bent way in the easiest way
to handle the situation. No better argu
ment for a clean city could be placed in
the hands of these officers than a state
ment from - the mayor of a large city
who has successfully coped with the same
problem and brought honor and recogni
tion to his city.
If you could prepare a statement on
"How Portland Put It Across" you would
accomplish a great good. This statement
would be given nation-wide publicity in
newspapers, magazines and representative
organizations and groups, t would be only
too glad to assist In the preparation of
this statement, if you should so desire.
Authorship, however, should be accredited
solely to you. , 1
You could also get assistance on sta
tistical matters from Stanley Myers and
possibly from the Oregon Social Hygiene
society. If at any time in your career
you held, views similar to that held at
times by most men, that is, that a seg
regated vice district was the proper man
ner In which to handle prostitution, the
reasons w h ich prom pted you to abandon
those views would be of considerable in
terest and Importance.
I am sure an article as I outlined will
result in incalculable good throughout the
country. Personally I would prefer draft
ing you for a month or six weeks after
the election and send you to aH the big
cities throughout the United States to ad
dress the officials and populace in cities
and show them how one big man handled
a big problem successfully In a big city.
Please let me hear from you at youi
earliest convenience.
