AT tho recent annual meeting of th Board of Trustees find members of tho Boys' and Girls Aid Society, Superintendent Gardner filed his annual report for the year ending April SO. The report In part follows: The State Legislature. For many yeara past we have received a moderate appropriation from our State Legis ature, but our demands have aw ays been bo modest that we have not had enouuh sur plus over and above our maintenance to build our north wins, which is very badly needed at thla time. I feel sure that the Legislature will come to the conclusion at their next ses sion Uf they Investigate the matter), that we should have an additional appropriation of ;0u0 for this purpose. The amount we save the state and counties cannot well be esti mated, but I believe it is the feeling of every thinking citizen of th state that the appro priation mad to this society 1 money well pent. . Others Who Aid. The aid we receive from private sub scriptions and donvlons is of great assist ing luvus'wriuvyins. on, our work. This aid vTTr.1sts of eah subscriptions, donations ot provisions and clothing, passes on rail and water medical care, educational advantages, as well as aid in looking afterthe spiritual welfare of our wards. To all thos who con tribute either money, provisions or- clothing I extend my sincere thanks. In this regard we mention prominently the school chiWrea of the state who tnake it possible for our chil dren to have many necessities and luxuries that otherwise would be denied them. "Were H not for the O. K. & N. and S. P. Co., I doubt if our work could go on. When I near some people speak of the soulless corpora tions, I often think how much better they do for the cause of charity than many Indi vidual with souls, but this, of course, all depends upon the souls of the men at the head of the company. The late lamented Colonel Crook was Indeed an Interested friend of the dependent child. We can say the same for General Manager O'Brien and his chief, clerk. Curtis G. Sutherland; R. B. Miller, general freight agent of the O. R. & and : p. Company, kindly carried our Thanks giving donations free. Were it not for this kindness we should have been deprived of tliewe gifts. , , t I trust our board of trustees will let these gentlemen know that their kindness Is appre ciated. There are also some oiher smaller companies who have favored us: The Oregon Transportation Company, the Vancouver Trans portation Company and others. High-claw physicians, surpeona. eye and ear socialists, as well as dentists, contribute by their skill ful aid to the welfare of our chldren. Among these are Ir. James O. C. Wiley, our regu larly appointed physician, and at time assist ed by hi. brother. Dr. Percy Wiley. We were also assisted during the year by gratuitous professional services of Dr. Robert H. Ellis, Tr. Mae Oardwell, Dr. J. R. Wealherbee. Dr. G. E. Hruere and Dr. Kitty Gray. Dr. C. R. Templeton is always ready to aalst us with his services when necessary. We must not forget the great kindness of the Good Samari tan Hospital through its most kind and ef ficient superintendent. Vise Emily L Love ridge, in caring for one of our wards who had the misfortune to be terribly burned. After a period of about eight months' free treat ment, she left that worthy institution en tirely recovered. We feel deeply grateful to the Board of Education of the City of Portlend for the services of a teacher for those children who could not attend school; also to the young reople's societies of the White Temple, Cen tenary Methodist Episcopal Church. Third Tresbyterian Church, and the First Unitarian Church, who take care of our Sunday school. We are also much .Indebted to George L. Jiaker, Milton W teaman, manager and as sistant, respectively, of the Baker Theater, for their kindness In inviting our children to entertain meuta. Juvenile Court. tnce our J art annual meetlnpr we have lost JudRe A. I. Frazer, of the Multnomah Juve nile Court. The Judge was called suddenly by death Juet at a time when he waa most useful to the community, to the regret of all engaged In charitable work. His place, I am pleased to say. has been ably filled by Judge C. U. Gantenbeln. who by his deep observa tion, assisted by an excellent legal mind and softened by his love for chldren, has shown s with, what dispatch a large amount of work can ho accomplished when rroperly managedi. The court holds two sessions each week, Tues days and Fridays, at which times the at tendance of representatives of all organi sations for children In the county Is Invited. The society Is always represented at theee sessions, and many times I have found it of great assistance In our work. Uniform kind ness Is manifested by every officer of the court, who are ever ready to co-operate with all those engaged In charitable work, and although there is seldom any mention in the newspapers, yet It Is my pleasure to report a great and good work la being accomplished. Our County Boards. I find that much more xeal Is manifested Vy some County Boards than others. Work Is what Is required to stimulate the mem bers. I notice that in counties where they have little to do the interest begins to flag. Taking them as a whole, however, they are doing good work and are of great assist ance, especially In placing children In (am ity homes. It Is my intention the coming year to visit them more often and endeavor to make short talks that may be both in teresting and encouraging. Recent Cmaes. Before closlnr my report I wish to call the attention of the members to one or two recent cases where the society rescued hiidrea from parents who would bare brought them up to become criminals. Cases 8281. 32S2 and 82S3 represent three children, two boys and a girl, who had given one of our outside County Courts a great deal of trouble, Complaints of the mother of thia family were of such a char acter aa to warrant the court to ask us to send up our agent to investigate and prose cute the case. The first time our agent called he found that the family had moved Into Washington. They, however, moved back after a short period. It seems the father had deserted the family some years ago. The mother kept1 a house of illfame in a nearby town and her life at home was that of a dissolute woman. As In many such cases, the life of our Investigator waa threatened, but he fearlessly brought the matter before the County Juvenile Court and the children were .awarded to this so ciety, and finding that one branch of the family were good people and anxious to care for the children, they were placed with them under our surveillance. Case 2523 Is that of a young girl whom the society took charge of some time ago. The father waa apparently a respectable, hard-working man. but his wife, the step mother to the girl In question, was and is an habitual drunkard. The girl complained that she treated her cruelly, and to save going Into court the father surrendered her to this society. Bhe then complained that though her step-mother waa kind to her younger sister, the girl would In all proba bility graduate into a life of vice. At that time, however, there was not sufficient evidence to take the girl from her father, but later on a relative of the step-mother was arrested and convicted of committing a crime on the child; and he is now In the penitentiary and the girl In our care. The step-mother's oldest daughter Is an habitual drunkard, twice her children iflve in num ber and known as cases 2975, 2976, 2977, 2978 and 2979) were placed In our custody by the Juvenile Court, but tho first time allowed by the court, to return to their home under our surveillance on the promise of the mother to reform and of the father to better care for them. Some months after the father murdered the paramour of his wife, and, as she waa still a drunkard, the entire family was committed to this society. The father la now a Xugltive from justice and the children are all placed In good family homes. Thus it can be seen in this case we had two branches of this family and were able to save them from becoming a disgrace and expense to the community, to say nothing of the good we have accom plished for the poor children themselves. Aid Work. In consultation with Dr. H. H. Hart, super intendent of the Illinois Children's Home and Aid Society and secretary of the Na tional Children's Home Society, I h&ve kept an account of aid work done for the good of children during the past year, and In addi tion to the large number of children we have actually had under our care, we have Investigated and bettered the condition of 190 children. All these cases are intensely Interesting, and to interested persons I should be pleased to relate what haj been done along these lines, but time will not permit me to go Into more details In this report.

NEXT WEEK: "HELD BY THE ENEMY" The first plan was to transport the French exposition in London bodily to Berlin, and nearly all the French ex hibitors were willing to have this done. but as the exposition in London does not close until October, it would be impossi ble to think ot opening a fair in Berlin until the Bprlng of 1S09, and the Kaiser's Idea is now to have an . independent French exposition at that time, much larger than the one In London, and to follow It up with a German exposition in Paris a year later. The French press, however, appears to be very much opposed to the idea and that the English papers will do their utmost to prevent its execution goes without saying. OPPOSED IN ENGLAND Triple Alliance Suggestion Meets "With So Popular Favor.. LONDON. May SO. With the conclusion of the visit to England of President Fal lleres, of France, Increased attention is being paid to the question whether the conversations between King Edward and President Fallleres end the British and French foreign ministers will lead to the development of the existing entente be tween Great . Britain and France into an alliance to which lUissia will be a party. At the "conference between Sir Edward Grey, British Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and M. Plchon, the French Foreign Minister, the subject of a more formal agreement between their re spective countries and the coming visit of King Edward to Emperor Nicholas werediscussed, so that King Edward, as well as Sir Charles Hardlnge, permanent Under Secretary for. Foreign Affairs, and former British Ambassador to Russia, who will accompany His Majesty, will be able to place before the Russian Emperor the views not only of their own country, but those of France, with respect to a closer understanding between Great Britain, France and Russia. King Edward and the British government, it Is believed, favor a military alliance and the further iso lating of Germany; but there Is much op position in this country to such an agree ment on the ground that it would neces sitate an increased military expenditure and possibly conscription, and also would lead Great Britain Into continental quar rels in which she was not Interested. A majority of the press and the public are saying that it would be better for Great Britain to let well enough alone and devote- her efforts to assuring the coun- tinuance of the entente with France. ARREST SHAM CRIPPLES French' Police Break l"p Band of Traveling Impostors. PARIS, May 30. (Special.) The French police have arrested at Chalons 40 sham cripples traveling in 12 gipsy caravans, under the leadership of a Spaniard named Rubio. Rubio exploited the men. women and children who traveled with him, provided them with their "infirmities" and their food, and took the money they collected. The police found in the cara vans scores of instruments of all kinds used for simulating deformities. Over 300 in cash was found in Rubio's van. Some of the pseudo cripples stated that If they were unsuccessful with sham injuries, the resourceful Rubio was ever ready to provide them with real ones to enable them to carry on their business the better.
