Those who would quentlon the gener osity of Portland people would need only pa.s down the business streets yesterday and observe the many tags In evidence. The man. woman, child, au tomobile or dog not tagged was an odtllty. On some coat lapels there were tags of many colors, green, blue, pink. red. gray and white. But the person would lack fueling who could refuse the smiling plea of the young women who braved the stormy weather and stood with an um brella In one hand and offered a las with the other, and through It all never for a moment lost good-nature or cheerfulness. AH day lonfr and evening the young women stood faithfully at their posts, some sheltered from the rain only by an umbrella, while others stood at store or hotel entrances. Black Tot Attract! Attention. Not even the succesa of -the parade did the rain mar in any way. Thirty three babies of the hohie In automo biles, headed by a band from the Musi clans' Union, traversed the downtown streets. Smiling and waring their tiny hands to the crowd the little tots re ceived cheer after cheer and were In strumental In the selling of many tags. There Is no doubt that little Kastu- the only pickaninny at the Home, was the feature of the parade. Kastus was In an automobile with Mrs. I. t". Burns, who held the little choeolnte-colored youngster up In order that all could get a glimpse of his smiling face. The only Incident which occurred to delay the parade was the breaking down of the car which contained little Caesar, the pet of the Home. who. In charge of Miss Lillian Poach, led the parade. However. Caesar w s placed In another car and the machines continued 4n their course. Marjorie Mahr Give .. Through the aid of Miss Marjorle Mahr. of the Armstrong Musical Lorn- J-ny.

In her decorated chair, where she held a reception to the general public. When thanked by the Tag day man agement for the aid she had given. Miss Mahr said. "Oh. It Is such a small matter compared to what has been done for me. " In all the movlng-plcture houses of the city slides advertferng Tag day were thrown on the screen at Intervals during the day and evening. "I wish I could begin to thank ev erybody for the kindness shown us. said Mrs. I. C. Burns, president of the Haby Home, last night. "Not In the least has the interest of the public In our work diminished since last year. I went out personalry today to ascertain just what the sentiment was. and I 'can say that everyone was most cour teous. Mrs. Klfrlda IVelnsteln. a Portland singer, who was stationed at the cor ner.of Sixth, and Washington streets, was aid "d In many ways by employes of the -Schiller Cigar Company. They took care of the money for her as she took It In. and also assisted In boost ing the sale of tags. Utile Girt Collect $2.1.10.

Iluniornu Incident Arise. One man loaded don with bundle. requested that a tag he put on his coat button. When this was done he re marked. "Please put your hand In my vest pocket and get the money." The modesty of the young woman prevented her from doing this, and It began to l.Hk as though the tag would not be paid for. when a man "standing near offered to take the money from the pocket of the possessor of the many packages. Mrs. O. M. Scott, who had charge of a portion of the East Side district, turned In ST-H. while liJ was sent In from North AlMna.

Ajl grades of refined sugar were cut 10 cents a hundred yesterday In all the Pacific Coast markets. This Is the first change that has been announced In sugar prices In several months. The decline may be the beginning of a small-slxcd war in the Pacific Coast sugar trade. Early In June announce ment was maile In these columns, that a cargo of 125. 000 bags of sugar had been shipped on the steamship Syria from New York, bound for Sa-n Fran cisco. This sugar was shipped by the Federal Sugar Kcflnlng Company and speculation was rife in the trade to what would be the result when the shipment reached its destination. It was, surmised that the motive of the Federal Company In making the ship ment was to retaliate against the Western Sugar Kefintng Company, .of San I-ranclsoo. for encroaching on the Eastern company's territory at Missouri Klver points, and the belief was then expressed by grocery Jobbers that t sugar war was Inevitable. The shipment, which left New York on May 31. arrived at San Francisco In the latter part of August. Nothing oc curred In the market, however, when it got there. A few days ago the Federal Company opened an office in San Fran risro and began placing its sugar on the market at a price 10 cents under that of the Western Sugar Heflnir.g Com pany and the California & Hawaiian Sugar Heflning Company, w.!ch hav- controlled the market for sugr.r cn :hls coast. Yesterday the two California refineries met the cut by the 10-cent reduction, which was announced here. It now remain to be seen what the Eastern company will do under the circumstances. Some of this Federal sugar la now on the way to Portland by steamer and will arrive here early this week. It is In two grades, fine and coarse. The cargo came from New York around the Horn In fine shape, notwithstanding It passed through the tropics twice. It Is understood local jobbers will handle the sugar. Icc Plentiful in Hill.

LIGHT AND AIR ARE SCARCE State Is Permitted to Confine Or fenders Against Society, Says Mr. Abraham, hut Constitution I'or blds Vn usual Punishment. After visiting a large number of the county Jails In Oregon, Senator Albert Abraham, candidate for the Republican nomination fr Governor, last night re iterated, upon Ms return from Eastern Oregon, the statement he made two weeks ago in Roseburg that the condition of the county Jails Is a menace to the health of the occupants and bad for the community tolerating them. Of eight of the juils he visited Senator Abraham found but two In anything liko modern condition and in those two new Jails ho declared there had been but lit tle forethought for the prisoner. Lighting, except by artificial means, was rare, and should the Jail huppen to be well lighted, It was invariable, declared the Senator, that the lights' were so arranged that the cell Itself was In darkness. Multnomah haw the best-kept Jail, as serted Senator Abraham, while that with most room for improvement exists In his homo town, Roseburg. Senator Abraham did not mince words. He declared the arrangements for sani tation to be unspeakable, cleanliness1 a thing practically unknown, the buildings usualy medieval, lighting arrangements unknown and thcsser.eral conditions such as to repel visitors . entilation was conspicuous by its ab- sense, raid the Senator, and. In general, he asserted the Jails seemed to be built i o:i the nlan of an ovster can or n soHri I steel safe, not Intended for human occu- j pents. Vnusuul Punishment Forbidden. "We are permitted to confine those who have offended against the laws of our state," said the Gubernatorial candidate, "but the constitution exprosely forbids unusual punishment. We are not permit ted to destroy the health of Jail occu pants, and yet quite often we lienr of people being released because their health has broken down. "The arrangements for cleanliness are not encouraging, bedding Is filthy and seems rarely to be cleansed or changed. I'sually the prisoners, to be safely con fined, must be in Stygian darkness. Ven tilation is often confined to a small shaft in the roof of the cell. Where a Jail Is well lighted the lights are so arranged that they front on the blank wall of a cell. "There seems to be an improvement in every county building except the Jails, and in the county buildings the comfort : fir t r j it T ' x, fjM.

Wherever there has been Improvement it has been owing to a humanitarian Sheriff. Following are his brief comments on the various Jails: Multnomah The best kept jail. Once there was natural light, but now that has been ruined by addition to building being built. Cleanliness is marked and the system employed showed an Interest In the prisoners. Astoria Externally like a medieval bastile. Great contrast between Jail and modern . courthouse, beside which It stands. Ventilation is almost unknown, With the exception of the condemned cell, every cell Is In utter darkness. The jail is kept clean. Baker City and La Grande Most com plete and new jails. While evidently built for security, the lighting conditions for the prisoners seem to be unchanged and even worse than those existing years ago. Ahraliam Mlssoxi Appointment. Roseburg Practically a dungeon, Lighting, sanitation and ventilation had The Dalles A very old building. The cells are like caves in a wall, yet there is plenty of ventilation, owing to th breezes, but were this jail In Southern Oregon It would be intolerable. Senator Abraham returned to Portland late last night after an arduous campaign trip In Eastern Oregon. He was billed to speak in Salem last night, but owing to a washout on the O. R. & N. he was unable to make connections. Senator Abraham will leave tonight for Southern Oregon. COMPROMISE NOT WANTED John Redmond AVarns Against Dan gers to Home I. ule. LONDON.- Sept. 17. Mr. John Red mond, speaking at a Nationalist meet lng at Kilkenny warned the Govern ment and the Liberal party of the con sequences of any compromise which endangered Home Rule. He said: Mr. Asqulth, In his Albert Hall speech, declared solemnly that hi policy was not revolution, nor "Home Rule all around," but full self-govern ment for Ireland." I scarcely think it possible for- a British Minister to go back on words so solemn, but I do not trust any declaration, private or public, of any English statesman or any English party. If. when the veto of the House of Lords is abolished, the Liberal party attempt to go back on their pledges to Ireland, the Irish party will be strong and un'ted enough to hurl them from office. A compromise with the House of Lords, in which the power of that House to reject Home Rule, although the House of Commons, is recognized, will mean the destruction of the Lib eral party. The Irish party will drive from office within a month any Gov ernment guilty of such an act of treach ery and dishonor. In three months time we shall either be discussing some scheme of taking away from the Lords the full power they now possess as the outcome of an agreement by the conference, or else we shall be in the middle of the most exciting Constitutional struggle during the last 200 years.

ICTURE hats, of the yara-in-aia r meter variety, are now worn In the little elevators of the city. Elevator pilots -who are not familiar with the wrinkle of havln the women lap-over the hat brims like shingles on a barn roof, are - not considered capable of handling; a sky-wagon. , With the coming of the season when the Oregon mist comes floating down. genius and fashion were compelled to co-operate. The occasion was forcibly presented for attention yesterday when an Innocent male passenger was almost choked to death. The near-accident oc curred In the afternoon, when a small man stood at the rear of an elevator loaded with large women. The rim of a straw hat rubbed his moustache, jabbed his face and.so aggravated him that he opened his moutn ana iook a bite out of the offending article of feminine adornment. He was unable to swallow the luscious morsel and his life was despaired of. At a meeting of the emergency com mittee of the Afternoon Style Associa tion, It was unanimously resolved that hats may be worn In elevators under the plan of lapping one brim over an other. Hat pins of any length may be worn under these rules. It will be the ther woman who Is injured. Male passengers are permitted to ducS under any roof of hats thus formed and escape to their offices. Otherwise they will continue to ride up and down and take their chanoes of escape. Barbers Want "D. T." Degree. PITTSBURG. Sept. 17.
