14 l-TTE ST7XDAY OKEGOXIAN. rORTXAND. JANUARY 14. 1913. BADEN-POWELL, IDOL OF BRITISH, ASSURED WELCOME IN PORTLAND In Interest of Boy Scout Movement, Great English Soldier, Who by Strategy and Daring Won Distinction in Boer War, Will Visit City Next Month. BT OBTOX K. OOODWIX. WHEN Major-General Sir Robert Stephenson Smyth Baden-Powell rlslu Portland February t and 10, as part of hla work In Ameri ca popularizing the Boy Scout move ment, he will be assured a welcome that Is rarely siren to any soldier. Through the length and breadth of the British Empire there la no soldier to whom a' jrreater mead of praise has been accorded. And honoring Baden Powell has extended now to the whole Enrllsh-speaklns; world. With the renown he won at Mafe klnsr. where for seven months he held a tiny desert town against over whelming odds of Boer men and (tuns. General Baden-Powell threw his whole heart and soul Into the organizing of the Boy Scouts, the movement which Is now world-wide. Clew Flcat la Glerv. It Is to attend the second annual meeting of the Boy Scouts of America that he haa come to this country ana he Is engaged In Inspecting the troops throughout the country. In the course of his visit to Portland a banquet will be tendered htm and he will speak to a public gathering, which 'probably will be held at the Armory. The keynote of General Baden-Pow ell's work may be laid In his remark to a reporter before he set sail from Liverpool for Cape Colony. "I hope they will give me a hot corner, he said. And If there was any place hot ter In the sense B-P." as he Is affec tionately known by every British sol' dler, found Mafeklng. be now says be has yet to And It. It was with a storm of adverse criticism that he organized the Boy Scouts. He found his "hot corner" again. Later, when the movement was firmly Intrenched in popular favor, "B-P stepped boldly Into another "hot corner" when he successfully launched a counter move against the undue effect of militarism on the Scouts. Strategy Is Reeegalsed. His popularity is that of Washing ton. For. with the sober after thoughts of the Boer war has come the certainty that by engaging as he did the heavy force of Boers at Mafeklng, Baden-Powell saved from assured dis aster at the time. If not from ultimate defeat, the whole British forces. He Is a skilled hunter and an expert at many games and the appreciation he put Into war was the appreciation of the sportsman. When fighting the Matabeles. he outscouted the savage couts and delighted to track them to their mountain hiding places. often alone and at night. He was not overly-daring and there was a happy ad mixture of brains with bis bravery. Veldt craft and resource were to him second nature and he could be no more outwitted than outfought. Still again was there that side of his char acter that he showed the besieged, the Impish glee of the schoolboy mixed with the genial bonhomie of the man. j Mui Admirers Maay. He met the Boer commandants with chaff and jokes and the alow-thlnktng Dutch could no more understand his humor than they could appreciate his wire entanglements and rifle pits. More than all Baden-Powell had that magnetic power and personal magnet ism that make the leader of men. So, It can easily be understood, when month after month slowly crept by and the sleae was still onllfted. why Eng land rose solidly at the mention of the Babcock Hunt, sued to have the divorce set aside. She asserted that the private detective had testified falsely, and also swore that her husband had made fre quent trips to Europe with young wom en who traveled as his nieces, but were actually not related to him. One of, these women submitted an affidavit in support or mu cnarge. The legal points involved were so un usual and complicated that Justice Sta pleton gave the lawyers a month to prepare briefs when the case was first argued. In giving his decision the Judge showed his sympathy for the widow by declaring that her motion was denied "for want of power, and not In the exercise of discretion." Hunt's estate is valued in excess of IS. 000.000. He left no will, and this property will now go to relatives who live out West. If the widow had not been divorced she would have received at least one-half of this sum. As it is, she will not get one cent. Italian Passengers Fight Arabs. ' Officers of the White Star liner Adri atic, which has Just returned from a cruise to the Mediterranean, bring re ports of a "battle'V that did not figure In the cable news. The big steamer, on her way to Na pies, touched at Algiers, and Arab fruit sellers came out oy tne Hundreds boats. There were 1000 Italian steerage passengers on the ship, and when they spied the Arabs they began hurlln chlantl and other bottles and whatever missiles were handy. The Arabs, wild with rage, replied with a volley oranges, and the battle ran along for half an hour, the combatants swearing lustily. The ship s officers finally re stored peace. There were no casualties but lots of wine was spilt and hundreds of oranges were squashed. The Italians claimed a victory, because the Arabs, who had come many miles with their fruit, did not dare to approach near enough to sell It. name of "B-P" and buttons bearing his likeness were sold by the hundreds of thousands. General Baden-Powell he was then Colonel made his own defense. He bad no regular soldiers, with the ex ception of a few officers, unless. In deed, 340 of the Protectorate Regiment. 170 police ami ZOO volunteers, mads ud of Irresponsible adventurers and sports men, can be called regulars. Mafeklng Is not unlike a Utah town. It lies squarely In the deiert, one single track line of railroad entering and leaving the city. The garrison was Isolated 250 miles from any other civi lization. Trick Proves jtsceess. It was against this little town that the Boers threw their every weight of men and guns. Chagrined at their In ability to break the lines of the de fense, they brought, reinforcements. It was here the strategic value of the Mafeklng was shown for had the Boer commanders been free to roam they might have more than cast the scales In the favor of the Boers elsewhere. Msfeklng wss a prettlly-balted nsh hook, set by Baden-Powell for the Boers and through thst able soldier It fulfilled amply Its destiny. Baden-Powell's bomb proof shelters were the salvation of the town. These were built under most of the houses. When a Boer gun was fired, the flash would be the signal for a lookout to press an electric button. Bells would I ring in different parts of the- city and berore the shell arrived tne innaDitanta bad a bare s4Vond or two to scuttle to hiding. Brains were In evidence everywhere. Even "B-P's" armored train was painted to blend with the surrounding landscape coloring. The siege was no Joke, the Boers even bringing from Pretoria a giant gun which threw a 96-pound shell, which with the exception of Sundays, played every day on the town. Sunday was scknowledged by both sides as a general truce and the snipers would meet and chan: eacn otner. Sperta Vex Boer. On Sundays Baden-Powell organized sports, but these so angered General Snyman, the Boer commander, that he threatened to fire on the town if they were continued on Sunday. Occasionally mall wan received through the Boer lines and on Christ mas dry the Boers Bred Christmas plum puddings into the town, in the center of which was a quantity of captured malL But the mall was not always welcome, one entire sack con taining nothing but unpaid bills. Food gradually ran low In the town. Mules were sacrificed and all but the women and children went'eungry. Then at last Baden-Powell's reward came when Colonel Mahon and Gen eral Plummer raised the siege.' By means of the gallant defense the Boer Invasion of Rhodesia was prevented. Sir Robert's return to England was the signal for an ovation that has rarely been surpassed.. The masses looked upon him aa the one conspicu ous success of the Boer War. It is this undoubted loyalty that has played no small part In the unswerving devo tlon of the English Boy Scouts, who are headed by "B-P. In Portland General Baden-Powell will discuss the advantages of the Boy Hcout movement as It is today. PORTLAND IN AT HEAD DR. B. P. SHEPHERD MADE OS. TBOPATHISTS' PRESIDENT.

Justice Joseph Aspinall. the hand- omest member of the Supreme Court. nd a bachelor at that, has aroused much Interest by a careful analysis of the divorce evil. "The rich usually get divorces to marry their affinities," tie says, wnlle he poor obtain them mainly to get rid mates who nave gotten npon their erves. From Ms experience on the bench. Justice AsclnaU la convinced that there are four principal causes for dlvoroe. Here they are as he sees them: "The first Is the sensual man or wo man," he says, "and It I Just as likely to be one as the other. These people cannot remain true to any one Individ ual, and unless the man happens to marry a patient Grlselds, or the wo man wins a perfect Job, their case gets on the calendar. "The second cause is the extrava gance of women. Men now think less snd less of marriage because it is one of the luxuries you cannot afford on a moderate Income. "The third cause Is the mother-in law. Many couples now separated would be living together happily to. day were it not for the Interference TOrjICEUT RrfK.A'D.TVTIO IXCER IX COUNTRY IS SILVEKTO.V, OH, LASSIE. .1 J Jv i i T1 r Baby Iseae Wilms. SILVERTOX, Or., Jan. 1J. (Special.) Baby Izene Wilson, the youngest buck-and-wing dancer in the United States, made her appearance In public before a large crowd in the .Sllverton opera-houne Thursday evening. Little Miss Wilson is a resident of Sllverton and her clever work at dancing la admired by her many friends. It Is far different from the class .usually done by children and would do credit to one of far more mature years. Her ability Is being generally discussed and it Is the intention to present her In other Oregon towns in the near future. She is only four years old and If she continues to improve in a very short time she will be without a peer, regardless of age. of well-meaning but misguided rela tives. 'The fourth cause is that persons marry without any preparation for it. or any knowledge of each other. man wouldn't buy a bird dog without investigating his pedigree, but he leaps Into matrimony without asking a question. Reckless marriages, en tered into with utter carelessness of consequences, make the grist for th divorce mllL" Uniform Law Advocated. The Judge is a warm advocate of a uniform marriage and divorce law. adding: "It Is ldiotio that I should hand down a decision In the Supreme Court of New York, forbidding a man to marry again In the lifetime of the wife from whom he has Just been divorced when In 10 minutes and for 10 cents he can go to New Jersey and be married le gally. Politicians are Interested in the statement of "Big Tim" Sullivan that this will be his last year as a State Senator. Ha haa decided to return to Washington, and aa the district is his own personal property, there is no power that can stop him. Regarding life at the state capital, the breezy Bowery Senator says: "You can live here and starve here, and work your head off and no one haa a kind word for you. You get bowlegged avoiding the reformers who want to take a kick at you. The re form element will not give you a word of praise unless you go around Albany with a flock of whiskers and a pale and solemn look on your face. These people think we ought to give them a vote of thanks every day for getting 11500 for four or five months' work and 1 months of abuse every year. Sometimes I think I'll get me an outfit like the undertakers wear i-hlte tie, plug hat and all, and grow me a nice set of black or pink whisk ers. Then every Sabbath I can get my reformer friends about me and say. 'Now. brothers, let's get together and roast somebody.'" Sullivan tried Washington life some years ago, but quit after 1H terms, saying it was too lonesome. Then he went back to Albany. Tim Sullivan was born In 186S, went to the Legislature In 1886 as an As semblyman, and has been in public of fice ever since, n 1th John Consldine he owns a large number of theaters. Politically he occupies the enviable po sition of dictating the nominations In his district, and having an overwhelm ing majority that he can count on for election day. Deatk Seals Dlvoce Cases. An Interesting legal point was set tled; In the Brooklyn courts the other Tenth Annual Assembly of Oregon Practitioners Opposes Owen Na tional Health Board Bill. Osteopathlsts from all parts of the state were assembled at the Carlton Hotel yesterday to attend the 10th an nual meeting of the Oregon Osteopa thlc Association. The morning ses slon was devoted to reports of officers and committees and the formal bust ness of the association. In the after noon addresses were made on technical subjects and a series of clinics and demonstrations by specialists in dif ferent lines were given. After general discussion of the pro posed National Health Board the fol lowing resolution, introduced oy ur, F. E. Moore, was unanimously adopted: Whereas, the bill creating a depart ment of public health offered in Con gress by Senator Owen, or associated measures to the same end. might be construed to - permit the In terstate Commerce Commission or persons in the Government service to go Into states and use uovernmeni authority and money to Increase, If not compel, the use of certain remedies or modes of treatment: 'Be it resolved that we, the Oregon Osteopathic Association, urge instead a measure to create a bureau or dlvl slon of sanitation and public hygiene whose chief representative shall not be graduate of medicine, but a sanitary engineer, and provide for an advisory board composed of one member from each of the recognised scnoois or meoi cine to exert itself to prevent con taminatlon and pollution of streams and enforce cleanliness and the proper quarantine in contagious diseases, to better tenement-house conditions, and Increase hygiene and safety in mines and factories, and spread among the people a knowledge of the desirability and mesns bf accomplishing the same. but shall not permit the treatment of diseases nor enforce other measures oi prevention than to eliminate the cause of disease and conditions which breed and spread disease. "Further be It resolved that we be II eve such a measure by meeting gen eral public approval and support would ro farther toward maintaining neaiin and preventing disease tbfen the Owen bill and like measures, ana at ine same time would not violate the rights of the citizens to control their own bodies and those of their children.

Downey today, through his attorney. Grant B. Dlmlck, protested against the town being incorporated under the pres ent proceeding.
