ANNUAL REPORT ON WORK OF THE BOYS' AND
GIRLS' AID SOCIETY BY THE SUPERINTENDENT
Large Number of Cases Are Cared For, but Mo re Funds Are Needed to Meet Growing Needs.
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.
