Those who would quentlon the gener

only pa.s down the business streets
yesterday and observe the many tags In
evidence. The man. woman, child, au

odtllty. On some coat lapels there were
tags of many colors, green, blue, pink.

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

The only Incident which occurred to

MARKET LOWERS 10 CENTS
Output of Fetlerul Company Will Be
orrcred to Portland Trade This
Week Carjro Conic to
Coast via Cape Horn.
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.

JAILS FILTHY
Senator Abraham Comments
on Conditions in Oregon.
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

of the officials seemed to be the thing
most sought after. 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.

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

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
