TnE SONDAY OREGONIAN. PORTXAXD, MAY 3. 190S. FOHTYTHOUSAHD F Great Outpouring of Catholics in Parade Before Car dinal Logue. HE WARS UPON ' DIVORCE AVants All Religions Bodies to Join in Opposition Thinks Christianity . the Only Antidote ; to the ' Growth of Socialism. - NEW YORK, May 2. New York wit nessed an extraordinary religious demon stration today, on Fifth avenue, when 40.000 Catholic laymen, ranging- in years from 30 to 0, passed In review before, the Archbishop of New York and his guest of honor, the Irish prelate, Cardinal Logue, of Armaeh. It was a climax to a series, of rejoicings for a century of organized Catholicism in this city. Thousands of persons saw the parade from the side walks, windows and roofs of houses and other points of vantage. Archbishop Far ley received today a letter from President Roosevelt congratulating him on the suc cess of the celebration. Cardinal Logue, who has seen and participated in the grandeur of the Roman liturgy at Rome and elsewhere, made this statement: "I never saw such an impressive gath ering in all my life, and I never expect to witness such a demonstration of loyalty to the Catholic faith." Streets Jammed for Honrs. It was exactly a quarter to 2 o'clock this afternoon when the mounted police escort ing the marching host were seen from the grandstand at "the cathedral, and at that moment the chimes on the Gothic pile pealed out "The Star-Spangled Banner" and a mighty cheer went up from the thousands congregated on the streets and jammed in the avenue and side streets. Brigadier-General Thomas H. Barry was the grand marshal. Except the grand marshal and his staff and the marshal of each division, all were afoot. It was about 6:30 when the last company passed th grandstand. The escort of the procession was a body of men from the Catholic Club, about 400 In all, that included Thomas F. Ryan, ex-Justice Morgan J. O'Brien and, other well-known men. The Knights of Colum bus were represented by their uniformed body and 10.000- picked men. Thousands of menibers of other Catholic organiza tions were In line. I'nited to Fight Divorce. It was announced tonight that the Irish cardinal will remain here for a few days more before beginning his visit to other cities. Cardinal Logue said tonight that he hoped to visit President Roosevelt while in Washington. In an interview, speaking of the divorce question, he said: "I have watched and studied the divorce problem here with a good deal of inter est and the time has come for all re ligious bodies to unite upon this Sub ject. It has been a great pleasure to me to note that ministers of all the sects are united in preaching against it. It is not entirely a matter of religion. The welfare of the state demands that some- tiling should be done in this country to check, this evil." v " 'Advance of Socialism. j-. Cardinal . Logue declared that Social- ism was making great advances in Eng f. tund nd that he believed Socialism eould he remedied by Christianity in relieving the poor. "But there IS another kind of Socialism and that kind is against religion. When ' it comes In, all other Socialism goes out. "" really think there are some men with ' great wealth who are trying to do their best with it. I think that Mr. Carnegie, "whom I met thft other night at dinner. Is spending freely for what he believes to be -the welfare of the people and I think that Mr. Rockefeller is doing a great deal of good In founding a univer slty." GREAT UNREST IN COREA Hatred of Japanese Requires- Strin gent Police. Regulation. SEOUL, May 2. The government of . C'orea. acting in co-operation with the office of the Japanese Resident-General. ' at Seoul, Prince Ito, is preparing plans for an active and final campaign against ; the disorderly forces in Corea. These forces, insurgents and bandits, are mak ing much trouble: they prevent the Korean agriculturists from disposing of their products and hamper general . busi ness effectually. , The present disturbed conditions in the Interior of Corea are due chiefly to the : Insufficiency of the protection available ' for the farms and other peaceful in habitants. The disturbing element today Is composed largely of men out of em ployment, discharged Corean soldiers and regular bandits. It is the practice of the ' marauders to oppress and rob the farm ers, to attack villages and kill-Japanese. The bandit element probably numbers altogether not more than 3000. The real t'orean patriots, who are Irreconcilable toward the idea of a Japanese protec torate do not exceed 1000. but there exists a feeling of unrest and hatred toward the Japanese among a majority of the Corean people. A society of Coreans called the Ilehon hos, pro-Japanese organization, also is embarasslng the administration. This so ciety is composed of the lower element of the Corean people, and It takes advan tage of the presumed authority of the Japanese to oppress Corean farmers and laborers In th interior. Furthermore, certain native newspapers are in the habit of publishing inflammatory articles against the Japanese, while the pro-Ja-p-anese press suppresses the actual facts. The Residency-General has just issued some stringent press regulations, directed against the Japanese. Corean and foreign-owned vernacular newspapers. It proposes to confiscate those journals that circulate inflammatory articles. Xhe Insurgents are at present pre venting the natives from bringing in wood for fuesl and vegetables Into Se oul, Chemulpo. Fusan and other towns. They He in wait on the highways, con fiscate the goods and . frequently kill the .farmers. Another evidence of the unrest Is found In the fact that two American missionaries recently re delved letters threatening them with deathlf they aided the government against the Insurgents. The govern ment now proposes thoroughly to po lice the 'entire country. The reinforce ments to this end probably will amount to 800 men. Including some 400 Co reans, who make excellent police when under Japanese officers. ' While commerce and trade are prac--ttirally at a standstill here and In other towns, considerable building and MARCH OR FAITH general improvement work is" going forward. The Japanese population is increasing rapidly. MUST DEMONSTRATE PEACE Xew By-Law of Christian Science Church Is Adopted. BOSTON, May 2.

SAXTA CRUZ, Cal., May 2.-The spe cial boards of turret and ordnance offi cers of the Atlantic fleet, which held a special meeting to consider a proposi tion from the Bureau of Construction in Washington looking to the further safety and protection of the turret hoists in eight and 12-inch -turrets, voted unani mously , to disapprove of the proposed changes. The proposition was discussed at considerable length, but It failed en tirely to find favor with the officers. It Is understood that Congress has already appropriated 1500,000 to make the changes in the hoists, and the plan which was turned down was the one selected by the Bureau of Construction. The scheme involved the building of enclosed steel trunks reaching from the protective decks below the turrets down to the floor of the handling rooms. The hoist ing cars were to be operated Inside of the Bteel trunks. Three automatic doors were a part of the plan for insuring safety. One of these doors was In the trunk In- the handling room and another at the protective deck. It was also proposed to have a section of the pro tective deck fixed to revolve with the trunk. The whole trunk from, the floor of the turret to the floors of the handling-room was to revolve with the turret. One objec tion to the plan was that it Involved the use of much complicated machinery, while the turret machine was already too com plicated. Another was that the automatic doors and other features of the plan involved too great a sacrifice of time and that required rapidity of fire eould not be accomplished. Still another objection was that the trunk which would be rectangular, in shape, about 20 by 9 by 4 feet, would occupy too much room in the handling room and make it difiicult for the men to work there. The boards will have another meeting In the near future, at which these subjects of further Insuring the safe operation of the turret hoists are to be considered. - Germany does not permit dentists to style themselves "American," as is the custom all over Europe.

NORRIS GIVES THE FIGURES While Price to Publishers Rises $12 a - Ton, Labor Cost Only In creases 52 Cents Small Advance in Wages. WASHINGTON, May 2. According to figures submitted today by John N orris representing the American Newspaper Publishers' - Association, to the select committee of the House on wood pulp and print paper investigation, regarding the increased Utbor cost per ton of paper produced, the Increase amounted to but 52 cents a ton. In spite of statements of the papef men to the contrary, ne said, his calculation was correct, and yet he charged that the papermakers had put on an increased price of 912 a ton, at' leging that the Increase was due to the higher cost of labor. In the case of the Hudson River mill, Mr. Norris presented data showing that even though the mill changed "from a two to a three-tour basis," the cost of production of paper actually had been reduced $1.13 per ton. It was, he said, a matter about which he has personal knowledge. Mr. - Norris continued for some time to discuss the change of base from a two-tour or two shift basis to a three-tour or thre-shift Dasis, contenamg tnat tne increase in cost was not sufficient to Justify the ad vance in prices. ' Wages Remain Very Low. Mr. Norris, replying to questions by Mr. Mann, . gave evidence showing that the average wage of union paperworkers in the State of New York for the third quarter of 1906 was $10.94 per week. which he said was very low. Ho would not enter into a discussion with Mr. Mann as to the latter's suggestion that it appeared to be about -time the wages should be increased. Answering Messrs. Ryan and Bannon the witness said that his wage calcula tions had' reference to union helpers, workers and skilled laborers, exclusive of women and children. In the State of Mississippi, he said, the average weekly wage for 1906 was $9.20, and that this figure took into account employes of all classes. In further refutation of the claim of the paper manufacturers regarding the high cost of labor. Mr. Norris read from reports of the United States Bureau of Labor by which it appeared there was a decrease in the wage of paperworkers In 1906 as compared with 1905. and that paper-working was the only industry that was decreased. Only Slight Increase Made. As showing the slight increase that had taken place in the wage of paper workers, Mr. Norris offered statistics for the year 1901. which fixed the paper production at 2.782,219 tons at an average labor cost of $7.45 per week. In 1905, he said, the 66,964 paperworkers In the United States received an average wage , Of $9.32 per week. j Further disputing the statements of i the papermakers as to the wages paid. Mr. Norris presented in evidence official statistics regarding the printing and binding group, which he said were re ceiving 78 per cent more wages than were being paid to the paperworkers. At this juncture adjournment was taken un til Monday morning. ABANDONS HS OLD LAW John Bull at Last Allows Appeals iri Criminal Cases. LONDON, April 25. The criminal ap peal act of 1907, which took effect April 19 of this year. Is expected to work a revolution in the administration of yie criminal law. In addressing the grand jury recently at East Sussex quarter sessions, over which he presided. Justice Grantham re ferred .to' the change. His lordship said he was that day practically attending the "last post" of the old criminal law of England. The latter provided that where persons were accused of crime the final appeal rested with a Jury of their own countrymen. The criminal appeal act, 1907 (7 Edw. 7, ch. 23), undoubtedly owes its existence partly to the persevering agitation of the press, and partly to a slowly Increas ing popular demand for some means of reviewing the Judgments that are given In the course of the administration of our criminal law. Mistakes, occasioning 'a miscarriage of justice and inflicting in tolerable hardships, have been so fre- y WHO HAVE CHARGE OF" "THE WHIRLWIND.' quently made that it began to be felt that not only were the best traditions of the law In danger of violations, but even the security of the subject was a matter of the gravest concern. j Instances of serious blunders which have shaken public confidence occur readily enough to one's mind, and the worst feature of these mistakes has been the irremediable nature of the suf fering and distress which they have caused. In many cases the worst results have been prevented by the untiring ef forts of' the press. It is the first time In the history of English law that there has been a court to which appeal In criminal matters may be made more or less corresponding In constitution and procedure to the Court of Appeal which now reviews decisions in civil actions. The Judicature act of 1S73, although creating a general Court of Appeal in civil cases, . still retained, by section 47, the rule that "no , appeal shall lie from the High court in any criminal cause or matter." This rule has become widely known, generally representing the popu lar Idea of the restricted nature of crim inal proceedings. As a matter of fact, under the same section a right of appeal was reserved for any "error of law apparent upon the record," and a further appeal lay by pe tition to the House of Lords. But unfor tunately the procedure governing these appeals did not tend to place them with in easy reach of the ordinary individual, since in all cases of appeal under this rule the express permission of the Attorney-General had to be obtained. It Is interesting to note that by the new act writs of error are entirely abolished. In addition there was the Court for Crown Cases reserved, a tribunal of five or more judges of the high court, who considered any question of law that arose at the trial,, whether it were "apparent upon the record or not." This court has not, however, been extensively used, the average annual number of cases whjch it tried being less than a dozen, while in 1900 only six of these appeals came be fore it. The outstanding feature of the new act is that, subject to some restrictions, it gives a right of appeal upon questions of fact, although altogether there are three main grounds of appeal available. IN MASTERING JAPANESE Takes Child Seven Tears to Learn Essentials of Alphabet. Kansas City Star. Japanese is not an easy language even for the native born subject of the Mikado, but It is vry difficult of ac quirement by the Westerner. Clive Holland, in his book, "Old and New Japan," does not give foreigners any encouragement that they will ever be able really to learn the language. It takes a Japanese child seven years, it is said, to learn the essential parts of the Japanese alphabet. To use a Japa nese dictionary, Mr. Holland says, one must be familiar with no fewer than 214 signs, which may be said to eerve the same purpose as initial letters In American dictionaries. Then, after one has tracked down iri one of these 214 signs some -part of the character for which he is about to undertake an ex ploration, he still has a veritable North Pole hunt ahead of him. The pompous first personal pronoun is avoided when ever it is possible' in epeaking Japa nese. If it must be used It is introduced casually, but generally the abstract noun "selfishness" serves in its stead. For example, a Japanese would not say, "I don't drink wine," but "Wine don't drink"; or, if this is not clear enough, "Selfishness wine don't drink." Refer ence to one's self possessions must be deprecatory. Thus, if a man wishes to point out his own residence, he says, "That miserable house," which, of course, could refer to no other than his own. On the other hand. "That beauti ful house," would easily identify the house as belonging to some one else. Moreover, any one who wishes to learn Japanese must be prepared to learn two languages: the written and the spoken. The one differs so materially from the other, that- if a Japanese is reading a hook or newspaper and wishes to do so aloud, it becomes necessary for him to translate the written words into- the colloquial. To be able to read any of the higher-class Japanese newspapers, Mr. Holland says, it is necessary to master at least from 2500 to 3000 ideo graphs. CONCERNING 'DEGENERACY' A Term Which is Applied to All Classes of Criminals? LIppincott's Magazine. There is one word irf our language which I have come to hate with a viru lence far greater than that reserved for many mortal sins; the word "degen erate." First popularized by a half-educated coxcomb, who tried to explain to the universe in terms of a before-break-fast grouch, it has spread till now genius, insanity and crime are all lumped under the one overworked heading. This is an extreme instance, of course. The term is usually applied to criminals any sort of criminals.

This hand-me-down moral classi fication is backed by a host of physical signs "stigmata of degeneration" they are called. A lobeless ear gives you so many points toward a Lombroso diploma of "degeneracy": a low forehead, so many; a high palate, so many; defects of hearing, mouth-breathing. Insensitive skin, all have their assigned value. On every hand we are asked to drop the old-fashioned notion that man is a responsible creature, that he belongs to the "educabilla," aa Cuvier would say, and is capable of learning, even though with stripes. Instead we are told that man is a mere test tube full of diverse moral or immoral chemicals, and that the "expert" can foretell the inevitable reaction by the color of the hair and the cut of the front teeth. There is an element of truth In all this. There are human beings whose natures are so warped that they cannot go straight. But these unfortunates, while they furnish many of our sensational, un-understandable crimes, are really only a tiny proportion of our criminal popu lation. The average criminal, at the be ginning of his career. Is very much like the average non-criminal. He may be, usually is, a little more lazy, a little more impulsive, a little less given to es timating the remoter consequences of his acts. And that Is all. He commits crime either from the conjunction of impulse and opportunity or from calculation of profit. Train him to curb the impulse or show him that crime is unprofitable and he drops the business, if he can. And tbat Is precisely the way in which- every one of us has won whatever moral position he may hold today. There Is no sharp division between the sheep and the goats. The man who can look you between the eyes and say that he has never had a criminal Impulse, is either a most accom plished liar or has a conveniently slip pery memory.
