AT 300 IIEAU LECTURES GIVEN AT miXSBORO. Series of Talks Will End Today 'With Papers on Potatoes and Their Diseases. BY ADDISON BENNETT. The second day at the Hlllsboro meeting was devoted to poultry and diseases of poultry, and the schedule was carried out as published in The Oregonlan of yesterday. The attend ance was very large for a meeting of that sort, by mid-afternoon the room being so full that many were standing, all chairs being taken. The numbeT must have been near 200. It is very fine to see so many take an interest In subjects affecting the farm, and it seems true that nearly ail who were present yesterday were It via announced yesterday by County Agent McWhorter that on Fri day there will be a demonstration of land-clearing on the farm of C. 13. Karnham, about three miles east of Hlllsboro, to which all are Invited. At this time a new stump-burner will da shown in operation, and It is hoped that as many as can possibly attend will be on hand to see the demonstra tions. The meeting yesterday was devoted to poultry and was of a very Interest ing nature, so much so that it seemed to draw everybody in that business 1'ving anywhere near the county seat. The first address on poultry feeding was made at the opening at 10 A. 11. by E. H. Cosby, extension specialist from Oregon Agricultural college. But as he was a little late, a few minutes were allotted to Andrew Kggiman, a nenrby poultryman. He said man? things of Interest to all poultrymen. and It was Insisted by many that he continue, but upon the arrival of Mr. Cosby he gave way to the regular speaker. His subject was "Feeding Poultry." and he handled it diplomatically and at the same time interestingly, al though the failure of a large number to respond to calls was noticeable He. howevftr. was not flustered by ti.e CICDV ITPUIMP ClIM IILIU, HUIIInU UIUU IS QUICKLY SOOTHEE ' WITH IS SULPHUR Menthol-Sulphur, a pleasant cream, will soothe and heal skin that Is irri tated or broken out with eczema; that is covered with ugly rash or pimples, or Is rough or dry.

(Shaw of the Oregon Agricultural college. The pro fesor la very easy and at the same time graceful speaker and so im pressed his hearers that they paid close attention to every word. He kept them until noon. In the afternoon the first paper was oy a member of the Pacific Co-oper atlve Poultry Producers. He was very careful in all of his statements and seemed to be at home before his audi ence. He was most interesting to those who are well up in the poultry game, which means that about all who heard him were benefited by his talk. . The meeting of today will conclude the serlee and will take on a new angle, the first paper being on the subject of Plans for Seed Potatoes. by a representative of Oregon Agri- cultural college, and the second on Potato Improvement, by J. E. Lar sen of the Washington Growers' Packing association. In the afternoon a paper on "Wheat Marketing will be read, probably by A. H. Lea of the marketing company, and the final number of the three-day session will be a paper by Professor M. B. McCay of Oregon Agricultural college on "Potato Diseases." This will be illus trated. SETTLERS TO BE SOUGHT DEVELOPMENT OF STATE IS OB. JECT OF NEW BOARD. Nothing Spectacular Is Planned, but Efforts Will Bo Directed Toward Steady Growth. Following 'authorization of the re cent session of the Oregon Irrigation congress at Pendleton, Or., its execu tive committee has joined with other organizations in the btate. Interested in land problems, and has formed what will be known as the Oregon development board. Fred N. Wallace of Tumalo, Or., is president. Offices have been established at 69 Fifth street, Portland. The board Js to be charged wtth the special duty of settling lands and im proving, so far as may be found feas ible, agricultural conditions. The members of the new board include Mr. Wallace; J. M. Kyle of Stanfield. vice-president and treasurer; both of these men representing the irrigation congress; Sam H. Brown, representing tho Oregon Drainage association; William lianley. representing the Ore gon state chamber of commerce; W. D. B. Dodson, representing the Portlant Chamber of Commerce. Several preliminary meetings of the board have been held and discussions relating to the best means of hand ling the various problems have been had. Full development of the plans will, it is conceded, require considera ble time, but meanwhile, members of the board desire the fullest co-operation of all persons and organizations in a practicable, comprehensive pro cedure for this board to, be of assist ance in handling the varied questions consenting It. No definite plan will be announced until these suggestions are all received, it is announced. Among- the features concerning which the members of the board wish suggestions are: Assistance and' guidance in agrlculturaJ land de velopment; procuring settlers for lands ready for agriculture; aiding settlers In most effective agricul tural methods and in improving the market for agricultural products of Oregon. The board asks all con cerned to aid It in determining upon th beet plans and to Join forces in executing plans that must insure great agricultural expansion within the state. "Members of the board appreciate that the work ahead is very heavy equally complex and will be effective in proportion to the state interest aroused and maintained," said Mr. Wallaoe. "They also appreciate that feverish enthusiasm, without a sound, conorete plan, will accomplish little. They believe Oregon's colonization and settling work tar behind that of other western states; witness the lighter agricultural population in region of very great agricultural re sources. This handicap cannot be overcome except by adopting the most modern and progressive means. "Through the vigorous co-opera tlon of all constructive agencies, it is the hope of this board to see Oregon take a more advanced position. No spectacular or immediate results are possible, but as the effective forces of the state are marshalled, as the thinking men of all sections are en listed, results equal to those attained in any other western state are pos sible here. We hope to see such an end in due course attained." BUREAU MEN AT ASTORIA Vocational Training Investigation Is Conducted. ASTORIA, Or., Jan. 18. (Special.)

METER CONTRACT IS LET Commissioner Mann in Verbal Tilt With Agent for Losing Company. A lively verbal tilt between Com missioner Mann and Ed Kropp. rep resentative of the Badger Meter company, featured a discussion on water meters before the city council yesterday morning, when the con tract for 4250 meters was awarded to the Gamon Meter company. "You use the most unsalesmanllke methods I ever saw." said Commis- Kropp had dls- both types of and commlsi- sloners. "You have the wrong sys tem. A real salesman fights hard and clean, and if he can beat his com petitors on this basis, he gets the order." Mr. Kropp asserted that his meter would entail a much smaller upkeep cost than the me;er of his rival. The bid of the Gamon company was 18000 lower than that of the Badger company. The total bid was S-3.3!0.

HEARING IS POSTPONED Dr. Wilson Declares That Many of School Functions Are Not Chaperoned at All fCoTitlnned From First Fare).

"The same philosophy to in this promiscuous dancing. I'm talking to night before two ministers' wives who were asked to permit their daughters to participate in a Christ mas programme at school. They did so, only to discover that the pro gramme consisted of 14 distinct dances, with not a word or story of Christmas significance. Value of System Questioned. "One great church in this city de nounces the public schools as secular and immoral, and are running their own schools. Whether that ought to be pushed still further until the Protestant churches feel that the sec ularity of the public school is at dis sonance with morality Is onf of the questions raised Dy tnis issue, uug-m this thing that has proved so dan gerous, and that has proved to be so rapid a developer of sex, be taught to little children, in our schools? We think not! "I know of parents who say they would rather organize a party of ten students and go to Rlnglers and dance, where the law regulates it. than to have them go to school dances to Washington high school, if you please. "I wonder if any member of this board will understand the statement I am going to repeat? I did not. It Is the statement of the boys that tney will not dance with the Iron clad' girls. I had to ask what that signified. All it meant was if a girl wore her corsets they wouldn't dance with her. And a man told me today that he himself saw the row of cor sets, checked like hats or umbrellas. at ona of our high schools. The par ent-teacher supervision has 'alien uv w u. Here JJr. Wilson came -to an em phatic halt, suggesting that, as many wished to speak against school danc ing, he would relinquish the floor to Rev. Charles MacCaughey of Cen tenary-Wilbur Methodist church. But before Dr. MacCaughey had cleared his throat Director Woodward raised a hand. There was need, he said, for an extended hearing, each side should be heard, the board had a lengthy programme before it, accordingly he would ask that the hearing be de ferred. Mr. Ufabone Offers Objection. "Until another night," he said. "Then come, and let us sit together and give no thought to any other task than this." fe moved that the hearing be post poned, and received an instantaneous second from Director Thomas. But at this Juncture L. D. Mahone, chair man of the lay association of the Methodist church, present with a for midable black brief case. Interposed an objection. He had evidence, he said, that would definitely prove the charge that school dances have contributed to immorality, evidence of especial Importance Inasmuch as 400 girls are now in institutions in Portland the youngest of them 10 years of age. "Yes, sir, certified evidence," he answered a director. Expecting to be called from town for a period of two weeks he pleaded against postponement, but on the sug gestion that the hearing be held to night expressed agreement. Chair man Newill and Director Shull were of the opinion that the charges pre ferred by Dr. Wilson entitled the Parent-Teacher association to give an immediate answer. "The chair rules that anybody, in conformance with the regular order of business, may speak tonight," said Chairman Newill. "I will not stand for that arbitrary ruling!" exclaimed Director Thomas. President Hill Replies. "I am perfectly willing to speak at any other time," President Hiil of the Parent-Teacher association as sured them. "But I'd like to make one statement right now." Her eyes flashed as she threw the denial at Dr. Wilson. "We do not have check rooms at our dances!" "What schools?" asked Dr. Mac Caughey. "At any that we've ever had any thing to do with." "One thing I'm going to ask," in terposed Director Woodward, "is that tho parties who have made these statements will affirm that they are true, that they will be put on oath." Arose then a discussion regarding the certainty that Dr. Wilson's charges would appear In the news papers, if the meeting were post poned, before the hearing could re sume and the parent-teacher advo cates make their reply. Directors admitted, somewhat wryly, that this was unavoidable. "If we defer our presentation until It suits your convenience." suggested President Hill, "might we not ask that this meeting here tonight be kept out of the press?" Motion Is Passed. The directors regarded one an other open-mouthed, and to a rising accompaniment of laughter. In which they presently Joined the only mirthful outbreak of the evening. They then agreed that President Hill should have trie floor for 20 minutes, and passed the motion for a post poned hearing until tonight. For one who r'ame unprepared to bear the brunt of battle. Mrs. Hill proved a veritable paladin, forceful and fiery. She lauached upon a sus tained defense of the Parent-Teacher association and its po'.icy, and as she progressed was often halted by bursts of applause. "I am not prepared," said the Parent-Teacher state president, "to deny these startling statements. Nothing of the sort has ever been brought to our attention. 1 would remind our critics, however, that we are only responsible for the dances at Frank lin high school. 1 do not believe that these charges are true with respect to the dances we are sponsoring. "I am here tonight not te argue as to the right or wrong of dancing. If I were to Judge from the state ments I have seen in the newspapers ef late I would certainly believe that the publlo thought we were putting en unclean dances. Yet we have for eur purpose the making of better schools, better hemes and better citi zens. And our claim that we ds this is established by a quarter of a cen tury of service. We rouse proverbially dormant 0 DICE parents to their responsibilities to their children through the Parent Teacher association. The idle hours of ohtldhood are the danger hours. The places of 'greater thrill.' such as the public dance hall, are watched by us with growing concern. Persons provided with clean sources of enter tainment are not so apt" to seek the evil dance halL Clean Dances Desired. "We have earnestly tried to put on clean dances. This is the first in timation we have had that we have failed to do so. I deny that we have ever held a Parent-Teacher dance without proper supervision in the dance room. We have felt that we have at least provided a clean place for our children to dance. Young peo ple will satisfy their desire for en tertainment. They want what they call a good time. And if they can't have it in the right way they are very apt to have it in the wrong. "It has been charged tonight that children of tender years are taught to dance at our dances, the grammar grade dances. I wish to inform you, gentlemen, that the grammar grade dances are not for the grammar grades but for the older pupils and their parents. I am opposed to dances for children before the adolescent period. After that they should be left to choose for themselves. "Mrs. Baldwin has been quoted to night. We are friends and I am acquainted with what she is doing for girls. And I tell you that, far from increasing it, I hold that we are lessening her work through our supervision of school dances. If any of our critics here tonight has a bet ter plan to offer, a constructive plan, I am ready to work with them." Public Schools TJpbeld. "Something was said by one of our critics in the papers the other day about amusements practiced in the name of God. I wonder how many of the modern amusements today can be practiced in the name of God? It is inconsistent, they say, to teach mor ality in the home and see the publio schools destroy it. "I don't believe the public schools destroy morality. I don't believe it. I believe that there are scores of scholars In our schools today who owe all the morality Aey have to the pub lic schools. "One of the chief complaints made against our dances is that the young people ' go home unchaperoned. In how many other instances is this true? Let us consider the "baleful' Influence of the public library, or the Christian Endeavor meeting, from both of which young people go home without chaperones. Crowd Lingers Hopefully. "Shall we close up what we ibeliev1 are the cleanest dances in the city because a few have abused them? Shall we leave our children free to visit vicious places? I'd like to know what provision these critics of ours axe making to replace the school dances they seek to forbid!" President Hill retired with acclaim and in good order, having- consumed the 20 minutes extended her by the board. The crowd! fidgeted to be gone, (having no taste for a dry, direc torial session, but lingered in the hope that more might transpire. It did. Dr. MacCaughey asked? the board to reconsider Its plan for a resumption of the hearing tonight, explaining that many interested could not be in attendance, owing to the fact that the northwest conference of their church, Portland! section, would be dn session. He urged that another night be set. Copy of Charges Asked. At the rear of the room a militant Parent-Teacher sprang from her neat and addTessed the directors. "As long as they raised the dis turbance," she exclaimed, "let's have It tomorrow night regardless of their inconvenience." "All right," flared Dr. MacCaughey, "and we'll go -through with it, too." Near the close of the hearing Di rector Olark suggested that the Min isterial association furnish the Parent-Teacher asocla.tion with a copy of its charges and evidence so that the latter might devise a defense and conduct an independent inquiry. To this Dr. McCaughey objected, saying: that he saw no reason why the anti-dance faction should display Its hand In such fashion when all of the charges did not pertain to the sponsorship of the Parent-Teacher as sociation. He was heatedly reminded by. Director Clark that Dr. Wilson had made such charges against the association, without specific mention of any other, and that he believed it was entitled! to know what they were in detail. The controversy diied with out issue. It is understood that tiie Ministerial association and its companion organi zations will require not less than two or three hours to present their case tonight. The opinion was expressed that the testimony might not all be taken at a single session, and that, together with the reply of the Parent Teacher association and other advo cates of publ'c school dances, the hearings might consume two or three sessions. REV. MR. HILLS ARRIVES First Spiritualist Church to Greet New Pastor Sunday. Rev. J.

WOMAN HELD 2 MONTHS Physician Describe Condition of Movie Actress Star Was Said to Have Injured. SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. IS. Roscoe C (Fatty) Arbuckle excused his ap pearance in pajamas and bathrobe at the party in which he was alleged to have fatally injured Miss Virginia Rappe. with the explanation that he had "met with a serious accident," Miss Alice Blake, a guest at the party, testified today in the second trial of a manslaughter charge against Arbuckle. Miss Blake testi fied that for two and a half months preceding the first trial she was de tained with Miss Zey Prevost, an other defense witness, against her will at the home of an attache of the district attorney's office. The wit ness said she would "prefer not to answer" a question as to whether she was "mistreated or abused" while in the custody of the district attorney. A bracelet and certain clothing worn by Miss Rappe at the party were Introduced and identified by Miss Biake. Force Used, Says Doctor. Dr. W. Francis B. Wakefield, at whose hospital Miss Rappe died, fol lowed Miss Blake on the stand. The rupture of the abdominal organ which caused Miss Rappe's death was apparently caused by "some external force," he testified. The prosecution contends that the alleged external fcrce was applied by Arbuckle. A chronic affliction of the organ, found by a special court commission of three physicians, would have no ef fect on its strength, he testified. Dr. Wakefield was the final witness to day. Appearance of Miss Blake, who fig ured as one of the chief prosecution witnesses, had no effect in rousing the latent public Interest in the trial. There were a number of vacant seats In the courtroom throughout the day. Bailiff Loses Job. An Incident was the removal of Jack Whalen, a bailiff, from duty in the courtroom when he excused an outburst of laughter on the part of the spectators with a statement to the court that the "lawyers were pulling comedy stuff." Other witnesses today were Frank Latullpe, police diagram expert, nnd Dr. Arthur Beards lee. house physlblan at the Hotel St. Francis, where the party was given by Arbuckle. Dr. Beardslee testified to having attended Miss Rappe immediately after the party. Dr. Beardslee testified that on one occasion while be was attending Miss Rappe. Mrs. Bamblna Maude Delmont, a guest at the party, who subse quently filed a murder charge against Arbuckle, was present. The murder charge later was reduced to the man slaughter charge previously tried. Dr. Beardslee was prevented by ob jection from revealing the conversa tion between Mrs. Delmont, Miss Rappe and himself at the time. "Mrs. Delmont is available if the defense wishes to call her," Milton T. U'Ren, assistant district attorney, said. The defense made no answer. Mrs. Delmont did not testify in the first trial.

Governor Olcott gave a short talk at the first convocation assembly of the term today. Members of the board of regents were guests of honor. A plea for students and faculty mem bers to lend all the aid within their power to curb the narcotic menace was made by Governor Olcott. Ref erence was made by Governor Olcott to the part the newspaper press took in education. It is assisting la the narcotic fight, he indicated. "There is no education that la more far-reaching than that gained by keeping in touch with the world through the press." he said. B. F. Irvine, editor of the Oregon Journal, gave some statistics that were highly illuminating on the worth of a college education to coun teract any possible tendency on the part of students to drop out of col lege, it was believed. More than 800 out of 150,000 col lege men attain distinction, as com pared with one out of 150.000 self educated men. according to Mr. Irvine. Jefferson Meyers of Portland, C. U Hawley, state dairy and food com missioner, and J. K-. Weatherford of Albany, president of the board of re gents, gave short speeches.

MILWACKIE RECAIit CAMPAIGN ASSIGNED TO GRUDGES. Insinuations of Graft Declared Unwarranted and Fight Money Fully Accounted For. With, petitions for his recall still circulating yesterday, and the an nouncement of the leaders in the move ment that they soon would have suf ficient signers to Justify a recall elec tion, J. M. Snyder, mayor of Milwau kie. Or. Issued a statement In which he denied all insinuations of graft made against him by his enemies and declared that the recall activities were headed by persons who had per sonal grudges against him. Mr. Snyder said that )e had no In tention of resigning in the face of the fight against him, but would, give tho opposition all they wanted in the way of a fight, "Insinuations that I have misap propriated the fight moneys, or any other moneys, are untrue," said Mr. Snyder. "The records of every fight are on file at the Milwaukie State bank to show what the boxing com mission is doing, and where all the money received has gone. Anyone who wants Information on this mat ter can get it by calling at the bank." Mr. Snyder admitted that the prop erty in which his bakery In Milwau kie is located was sold for improve ments, but he said that later he bor rowed the money to reimburse the city. "The city got all of its money out of the deal." he declared. The city of Milwaukie has received 13000 more than it was entitled to from the fights at the Milwaukie arena, was the declaration of George P Moore, general manager of the fights. Mr. Moore said there was an agreement that the -city was to get a certain percentage of the proceeds after the expenses had been paid. He said there so far had been no pro ceeds and that on the contrary the boxing commission was 120,000 in the hole. In spite of that, he said, ap proximately $3000 had been paid over to the city of Milwaukie which it could not have expected under the agreement. He said Unking the re call movement with charges of mis management of the boxing at the arena was not Justified. W. H. Counsell and Frank Arlghl. chairman and member of the boxing commission, declared that the com mission's records were open for In spection at any time. "We fear no investigation," they declared.
