T IS KEPT IN JAIL
ItKSl liT OF HC1IT OVER TECH
NICALITY AWAITED.
Mother Refuses to Part With In
fant So Both Are Put on
Top Floor of Bastllc.
While Mrs. Lola G. Baldwin, super
intendent of the 'women's protective
division, and the Juvenile court have
been clashing over a technicality in
procedure the 13-months-old daughter
of Lai Lakl, young; Filipino bride, has
remained in the city Jail with her
mother since last Tuesday night.
. Differences arose on Wednesday
morning when Mrs. Baldwin, deeming
the detention rooms at the city Jail
an unsuitable place for a baby, caused
a complaint to be issued for thp Juve
nile court, charging that the baby was
without p'roper parental care, in or
der that the juvenile court would
take it into custody and remove it
from the detention room.
The juvenile court delayed until late
Wednesday afternoon, saying it could
not care for the infant properly. Mrs.
Baldwin offered to have it sent, but
her offer was not accepted. Mrs. Har
riet Heller, a representative of the
court, then appeared for the child and
the real trouble began. The mother
stoutly refused to part with it.
Saying that the affair rested with
the Juvenile court, Mrs. Baldwin took
no part in this step. The court then
asked the co-operation of the police
department to obtain the child, but
this co-operation proved as futile as
the first attempt to take it. At every
attempt to assume custody the mother
rose up in arms and defied the offi
cers. Co-operation was then aban
doned, and. since Mrs. Baldwin re
fused the use of her detention rooms,
mother and child were transferred to
the top floor of the jail.
The mother is held on charges of
improper conduct and has not been
arraigned, pending the outcome of an
investigation. Mrs. Baldwin contends
that Lai Lakl is morally unfit for the
responsibilities of motherhood and
declares the child should bo taken
away from her. The husband and
father is living In another city.
DR. HUGH MOUNT RETURNS
Business in East Is Optimistic,
Says Oregon City Physician. '
OREGON CITY, Or.. Nov. 25. (Spe
cial.) The spirit which pervades the
east is one of general hopefulness in
both financial and international af
fairs, according to Dr. Hugh S. Mount,
who returned to Oregon City today
after a four weeks' trip to the At
lantic coast. He was accompanied by
Mrs. Mount and his son, Hugh Jr.
In rhlladelphia, a fellowship in the
American College of Surgeons, a
branch of the Royal College of Sur
geons of London, was conferred upon
Dr. Mount. At Cleveland he visited
the Kriel Clinics and at Rochester,
N. Y., visited with the Mayo brothers.
Throughout the east, says the doc
tor, business men feel optimistic over
the future. There Is sufficient money
moving, he says, to take care of all
legitimate business. Manufacturers
in the east, it was found, are looking
toward the further return of normal
conditions in the near future.

Newport today received its first

train getting as far as Toledo, where
the steamer Newport made connec

mall and passengers who had been
en route from Valley points since No

Heavy rains started again here yes
terday and it Is feared the trains
again will be blocked by new slides
and washouts.
This morning a 70-mile wind blew
the roof from the Mlnthorn bath
house carrying it 600 feet, where it
crashed through the roof of the Son
nevelt store, breaking shelving, show
cases, etc., causing about $500 in dam
ages. Very high waters still continue
throughout the county, endangering
stock and much other property.

Liquidation in Some Parts of I'nited
States to Require An
other 12 Months.
Observation of the progress of the
agricultural regions and foreign coun
tries toward stability and normalcy is
Interesting now that commercial
credits in New Kngland and the east
ern states are normal. There is a
general impression. It is observed In
a letter of the Alexander Hamilton
institute of New York, that Texas.
Minnesota and other neighboring
states will require another year to
liquidate.
It is interesting to note that the re
serve banks In Minneapolis, Dallas.
Atlanta. Richmond and San Kranclsoo
have reduced their loans substantially
as compared with the peak of a year
ago. The decreases amount, with the
exception of San Francisco, to only
20 to 30 per cent, however, while the
average of the entire country Is 61)
per cent and at San Francisco the de
cline In loans has been 49 per cent.

Not only have the agricultural sec
tions made some progress toward the
liquidation of debts, but Canada and
Great Britain show solid Improvement
In financial condition and France has
recently made a successful beginning
toward deflation.
This evidence of Improvement Is
shown In the decline in the coBt of the
American dollar abroad. A year ago
the French were paying 3U2 per cent
of the normal price of the dollar but
now only 205 per cent. In Great
Britain the cost has declined from 141
per cent of normal to only 123 per
cent. All of the countries In the fol
lowing table have shown Improvement
during the past year and in all of
them, except Italy, France and Den
mark, the premium on the dollar Is
less than 25 per cent:

It Is not surprising that in the above

were neutral countries during the war.
It is difficult to understand, however,
why Spain and Norway have shown
no Improvement during the last year.
In those countries the premium on the

This table shows the effect of trade

premium on the dollar has been dou
bled In Greece on account of the
financial drain of the recent adven
ture against Turkey. In other coun

the governments do not seem able to
gain control of political and financial

Trade Industrial and financial reports
present a varied. Indeed, an Irregular ap
pearance. Wholesale trade has quieted
further; Jobbing trade, incept In holiday
specialties, has tended to taper off, and
concentration of attention is on retail
trade, which Is better, but falls as yet to
reveal the denlred activity in the direc
tion of final distribution.
Seasonal conditions possibly largely ex
plain llli! quieter trend In wholesale and
Jobbing trade, although cautious buvlng
by retailers, who desire to make sure of
Losing the year with light stocks. Is an
additional reason advanced. On tho other
hand, retail buying lackM the simp usually

being Irregular wealher, low prices for

purchasing power duo lo unemployment,
which latter, however, does not tend to
Increase very materially as yet.
