Adelphi College Professor Goes
Into Yards Disguised
as a Worker.
TELLS WHAT SHE LEARNED
Address Before Christian Associa
tion Conference Listened to With
Peep Interest What Delegates
Are Doing at Seaside.
SEASIDE. Or., Sept. 7. (Special.)
A new light has appeared oh the Y. W.
C. A. conference horizon. Dr. Anna M.
MacLean, head of the Sociological De
partment of the Adelphi College, Brook
lyn, Is sent by the National Board to
Investigate industrial conditions in the
West. A woman of vigor and charm,
she held the city conference enthralled
as she told of her experiences in her
search for statistics and general
knowledge along this line. Dr. Mac
Lean knows what it means to stand
all day behind a counter or work her
fingers off in a ractory, for she has
done it. She aleo knows -how to make
her hearers want to lend a hand in
helping the working girl solve her
problems.
Dr. MacLean is making a study of the
conditions of women in the hop fields of
Oregon, and has. only recently returned
from the hop fields, where she went dis
guised as a worker. Her address this
morning was listened to with the keenest
Interest.
Girls Go Out for "Lark."
The recreation hours were filled to
the brim with fun. Several wagon
loads of "delegates," who are after all
only everyday girls, made a jolly trip
to the wreck beyond Oearhart. Others
went bathing or walking. The Ne
ranlrum was dotted with boats. Some
of the girls could row, others could
not, but every one tried. One boat
load started out manfully, but was
puzzled to know why the boat would
go In a circle. Careful investigation
proved that not only was the boat rud
derless, the oarsmen woefully ignorant
of the rules of the game, but the en
tire craft was being propelled wrong
end to. What did It matter? The
girls were out for fresh air and a
frolic, and they had it.
Just as the shadows were lengthen
ing, the girls trooped back to the tent
for the -"Life Work" class. That is a
place of power that class. There
real messages are given, real prayers
made and many a girl awakened to
her best and real self. H. F. La

sage he gave was In brief as follows:
I'f-Ji'dfJItfne'ttHklngti.Mie: hame of
Christian is under the necessity of
active Christian work of soul win
ning. Don't wait to be pushed into
these fields only by pressing on the
door of service will they open to let
you In. Alt are called. All are called.
And a surrendered will opens the
soul Godward, making possible a. life
rich In experience and service for one's
fellows."
Miss Dunn Interesting Speaker.
The evening service was devoted "to
the work of the National Board of the
Y. W. C. A. A dry subjert, do you
say? You wouldn't, had you been at
that meeting. "Miss Dunn, a National
secretary, presided, introducing first
Mrs. Woods, president of the Seattle
board. She spoke of the National
Board as a great mother brooding over
the interests of her children, and told
of the instant reaching toward Seattle
in "her struggles of the long ago to
establish an association.
Dr. MacLean took the breath of her
audience as she Invited them Into the
watch-tower of the National board,
where more and more it is becoming
possible" to view the well-organized
association work of our country, of
each state, and finally of each associa
tion. ' Betterment work for thousands
la planned and guided from that watch
tower on Lexington avenue. New
York.
Mrs. Honeyman, former president of
the Portland association, now chairman
of the state committee, gave a fuller
account of the work so well organized.
Her talk was enjoyed every minute
of It as are all her talks.
Miss Raymond, student secretary of
Washington, presented the subject
from , the students' standpoint, giving
a glowing tribute of love and respect
to- the work of the board.
- lMss Barnes Closes Service.
Miss Galge, state secretary, spoke of
the general plan of growth. It is
careful and safe.- New work is tried
and experiments made In the Indi
vidual association, these efforts being
watched and guided by the board. She
spoke "with great earnestness of the
need -of a pattern in all this work
the pattern of the Christ life, the
vision of God.
The service was closed by Miss
Barnes, leader of tha conference. In
a .few; words she Ijad before her au
dience the idea of the tremendous or
ganization which this conference rep
resents. Ten months ago the National
board began to plan for It, sent a
secretary flying out to look over the
gronnds, plan for the tent and other
accommodations. Then . Miss Barnes
took her listeners Into a great Eastern
factory -of &00 girls. They entered the
factory doors with these girls at 7
o'clock sharp, toiled through the long
day, and then went with them to their
comfortless homes. The needs of the
factory glris were so brought home
to the hearts of the conference dele
gates that" they sat them . do-,,n and
' wrote out pledges to the amount of
$400 to help tn this noble work for
young womanhood. H. F. B.

Matter Is Disposed Of.

The Late Nancy Ann Olds.
M MINNVILLE. Or., Sept. 7.
(Special.) Mrs. Nancy Ann Olds,
who died aT her home in La
fayette. September 4, crossed the
plains to Oregon by oxteam in

en route culminated in her mar
riage at Fort Boise to James H.
Olds. The then young couple

County. Mrs. Olds- was born in
Sandusky, Ohio, December 2,
1834..
is concerned. Mr. Guggenheim is in Den
ver today on an Inspection trip. He says
that the company expects an investiga
tion and is ready for it.
"The American Smelting & Refining
Company courts any kind of an Investi
gation that any one wants to make," he
declared. "We have heard talk to the
effect that an Investigation of the com
pany was on the programme, but we uo
not known whether it will actually be
made or not. An Investigation, no matter
how searching, would bo the best thing
that could happen to -the company. The
showing would be such that it .would ba
the biggest advertisement we could get.
"We have always known that our con
cern would be investigated sometime and
we have kept things in shape so that
we are ready to be investigated. Our
books and everything connected with the
business of the company will show every
thing In perfect condition."
NEW RULES TO BEGIN WAR
Hague Confereuce Requires Notice
to Enemy and Neutrals.
THE HAGUE. Sept. 7. The fifth
plenary sitting of the Peace Conference
was held today. The whole American
delegation was present. The following
rules regarding the opening of hostilities
were adopted, a few countries making res
ervations: "The contracting powers agree that hos
tilities must not begin without previous
unequivocal notice having been given,
either In form of a declaration of war
setting forth Its motives or in the form
of an ultimatum with the additional dec
laration of war.
"A state of war must be notified with
out delay to the neutral powers, the effect
of the latter beginning after they receive
notice, which can be given even by wire.
In any case, the neutral powers cannot
protest against the lack of this notice if
it is established that they undoubtedly
knew that a state of war existed."

Taft Points Out That Nebras

, Postpones
MAKES SPEECH AT TACOMA
Pays Visit to American Lake and
Says He Favors Expenditure of
$1,000,000 for Army Post
in the Northwest. '
TACOMA. Wash.. Sept. 7. Secretary
Taft twice today lifted the gage of con
troversy hurled at him by William Jen
nings Bryan. He spoke at Olympia and
Tacoma to two big audiences under the
auspices of the Chamber of Commerce of
Tacoma. Mr. Taft traveled from Port
land to Tacoma today and was the guest
of the same organization at a banquet
tonight. During his stay in this city he
and his family were the guests of a. A.
Perkins, proprietor of the Ledger and
News.
Ten thousand persons cheered him this
afternoon In this city at Wright Park,
where he spoke in the open air, where he
said in part:
Mr. Bryan, in discussing some of my
views on the tariff and other matters, has
done me the honor to call me the Great
Postponer. With respect to the tanrt.
I was in favor of revision last year, and
I am "still in favor of revision, but I am
a party :nan and I hope a practical man.
and I realize the lack of wisdom and the
danger, both to the party and to the coun
try. :n attempting a revision ot tne tariff
in the midst of a Presidential campaign.
I am convinced that the Republican party.
as a partv. will come to a. revision or the
tariff immediately after the next Presi
dential election, and I am in favor of
practical results, not of theories and plat
forms, but of doing the thing which
sho'ild be done. If It rannot be done this
year, I am in favor of it next year.
Bryan Real Postponer.
For two Presidential rnmtialena Mr.
Bryan urged with all the eloquence and
force possible the free coinage of silver
at 16 to 1, but now he is postponing the
Issue untif he can brlr.g it forward again
as a panacea In times of financial disas
ter, lor which it 13 ntted, not as a real
remedy but as a means of getting into
power.
secondly, he Is now emDliasizinsr the
subject -of anti-imperialism and the
oppression of the Filipinos, but he
postponed the issue of anti-Imperialism
uinii tiy nis eiron ine. treaty ot iJaris
was adopted and the soverelc-ntv- of tha
Philippines was transferred from Spain
xo trie united states. This is really
the only piece of actual affirmative.
constructive statesmanship with which
Mr. Bryan's name has been connected,
and he has now for eight years been
engaged In attempting to explain that
away. .He postponed his anti-imperial
ism issue until he has fastened the
Philippines to the United States hv
bonds that will not be dissevered until
we nave discharged our lull duty m
those islands.
Another Thought for Xebraskan.
Mr. Bryan went round the world. Tt
was fondly hoped by the Democratic
party that by reason of this experi
ence he had become "Bafe and sane,"
and would unite again the different
elements of the party. Instead of that,
he demonstrated that the trin has not
produced the honed-for result, and he
delivered in Madison-Square Garden his
tamous speech in favor of Government
ownership. The effect was to destroy
the rosy anticipations of his triumphal
candidacy. In many Democratic quar
ters his Government-ownership plat
form was repudiated, and so what did
Mr. Bryan do? He postponed tha! Issue
inaei mitecy. in me race or this record.
I submit that his courage In calling
another a "postponer" should com
mand the greatest admiration.
En route to Tacoma, Secretary Taft
and party stopped at American Lake,
12 miles from Tacoma, where they were
received by a delegation of Tacoma
business men In automobiles. General
Greely and Lieutenant S. A. Ferguson
acted as the escort of Secretary Taft
in a rido over the Washington State
military grounds and the private prop
erty which it is proposed the Govern
ment purchase as a site for a per
monent Army ' post and National
maneuver grounds. Secretary Taft
covered 50 miles in an hour and 15
minutes.
Big Army Post for Northwest.
"The site la perfect," said he. "I have
never viewed a wide expanse of ground
so well suited by nature for a location
of a big Army post. There is no doubt
but that the next National Congress
will consider the appropriation of a
million dollars for the establishment of
an Army post In the Northwest, and if
the site can be bought at fair prices.
there is no reason why the post should
not be built here."

New Turbine Steamer Will Try Speed
With Lucanla.
LIVERPOOL, Sept. 7. Attention cen
tered today on what was considered an
epoch event, the departure of the giant
Cunard line steamer kusitanla, the
largest of the Atlantic liners, on her
maiden voyage to New York. The Cun
ard steamer Lucania left port at 4:30
this afternoon, about two and a half
hours earlier than the Lusltanla, mak
ing possible a trial of speed across the
Atlantic between the swiftest ocean
steamer with reciprocating engines,
flying the British flag, and the largest
turbine steamer.
Both vessels will call at Queens
town tomorrow morning, but the Lusl
tanla will not enter until the Lucania
has cleared, so the older vessel will
have a start of at least three hours'over
the boat which the Cunard Company
built with the view not only of beat
ing the fastest time of its own greyhounds,-
but of regaining for Great
Britain the blue ribbon of Atlantic
which was lost to Germany a decade
ago.
