OFFER REFUGE TO
BANISHED
WOMEN
Denizens of Underworld to Be
Properly Provided
For.
CITIZENS TO THE RESCUE
Practical and Benevolent Persons
Will Act as "Angela," Supplying
Homes to Sncb as Desire and .
Aiding: Some to Leave Town.
Beckoning benevolently to the be
wildered denizens of the underworld,
n "anrel ha appeared to light their
darkened way. Mysterious Indeed was
Its appearance, but its coming has
solved the problem as to what shall be
come of the unfortunates.
The "angel" appeared in the shape
of a number of thoroughly practical
and benevolent persons, who are will
ing to aid the women in a sensible and
practical manner. Homes will be pro
vided for them in respectable quar
ters up-town. tickets, transportation
and expenses wl'.l be provided tbem in
case tliey desire to leave the city, and
no coercive efforts will be made at
reformation.
The question "Where?" that has al
ready been raised to the police command
to "move on" that will be given early
Tuesday morning has been answered in
advance by the coming of this "angel."
Quietly and without ostentation the word
is being passed through the North Knd.
and those who will may take advantage
of it and follow their own inclinations.
Will Find a Haven.
"Come to me," thta "angel" Is saying
to the women m-ho are to be evicted
Tuesday. "Come up town and there you
will be provided for. No questions will
be asked, no past revived, no embarrass
ment raufced. and no efforts will be made
to force reformation. You may reform if
you desire, and you will be given a
chance to begin lite over again, to start
anew.
"But you need not do so unless you vol
untarily express a desire to do so. If
you care to go home, to go to any other
city or place, no matter where, we will
give you transportation and expenses. In
case you dfelre to remain in Portland
you shall not be molested by Intrusive
or obnoxious police officials. You may
remain here In one of the best hotels in
the city, where everything will be pro
vided. You may remain there as long as
you d-slre. and you will receive every
aid and assistance not only to start an
other life, but to follow your own Incli
nations and go wherever you desire."
This, in substance. Is the invitation
that Is extended to the unfortunates who
are to be banished Tuesday. It Is ex
tended by severe thoroughly practical
pontons, who are to remain In the back
ground for obvious reasons. They guar
antee that no woman shall be compelled
lo languish In Jail, nor to suffer actual
want, if she will let her case be known,
or will apply either in person or by tele
phone to the proper place.
The address of the proper place is
being quietly circulated through the
North End, and all the women who will
may accept. Included' in this practical
demonstration of willingness to aid the
unfortunates are several of the most
prominent cltlxens of Portland. Ample
funds have been provided, and provision
has been made to surround these
women with everything that they may
Deed.
Many Already Leaving.
Aready a large number of the unfor
tunates have departed the city. A
dozen or more left yesterday morning
for Salem, where they will continue
their vocation. Others have moved up
town, readily finding quarters in apart
ment houses. These women and the
keepers of the lodging-houses labor un
der the delusion that they will be afile
to ply their trade without the knowl
edge of the police. Chief Gritzmacher,
however, has known of the disreputable
character of these alleged hotels for
weeks and they will be treated In the
came manner as the North End places.
Other women, believing that they
could successfully Invade the residence
districts, have moved into some of the
most exclusive sections. In these cases
they are accompanied by male consorts,
and renting flats or dwellings, hope to
elude the officers under the guise of a
newly-arrived msrrled couple.
r laces Are Being Closed.
Closed were many of the haunts of
revelry last night and darkened were the
many-colored lights. Many of the wo
men profess to be unable financially to
lielp themseves. claiming that they have
not sufficient money to leave the city.
A few openly svow that they will remain
where they are and go to JalL for they
aie unable to go elsewhere.
It is to these and all the other unfor
tunates that the Invitation to coma up
town has been made by certain practical
philanthropists. By accepting they will
avoid annoyance by the police, have all
t'.ielr wants provided and given another
start, or receive expenses and transpor
tation l any place they desire to go.
"We do not offer charity," said one
of the originators of this plan to help the
unfortunate, vfor we know that these
women spum anything of that kind. But
our desire to help-4s sincere. We want
these girls to come to us. and they wtll
be as well taken careef as they ever
were, and no questions wlU.le asked. If
they desire to go away, we -will provide
transportation. If they desire l remain
here, no matter how long, they may do
s). and they will be treated with the same
degree of consideration that any guests
receive."

each mill, are reported to have gone
by the board, and now it is a case of
every producer getting out for. himself
and selling. as much and at whatever
price he can obta.n.
Up till now the list price for shin
gles for the Canadian trade has been

the shingle manufacturers' organiza

some mills to keep up prices. Now the
combination on prtces and output no
longer exists, the production of shin
gles Is expected to be so great for
some time that the market will be
glutted.
