other demonstration on the street at
that time.
With James K. West, of YVashinK
ton. D. C chief executive of the Boy
Scouts of America, and a few younK
men of his personal party who are ac
companying lilm on bis tour. General
Baden-Powell was met at the station
by the Portland committee. K. A.
Wood. Robert SironR and members of
the Boy Scouts, and escorted to the
Multnomah Hotel.
IJttle notice was made of the So
cialist demonstration and no sii- li out
burst as developed at the afternoon
meetlna; was expected.
Before toe arrival of Ceneral Baden-Powell
and ills party at the au
ditorium, about 30" of the Socialists
had entered the hall and packed the
seats nearest the rostrum. Ked So
cialist baducs were displayed on the
iiats of many, and before the open
ing of the meetlna- scores of copies
of a Socialist publication opposing the
Boy-Scout movement were circulated.
Socialist Welcomed Heartily.
The hostility of tho Socialist ele
ment began to be manifested when
Superintendent KlRler. of the Board
of Kdiicatlon. arose to open the meet
ing. Hisses and groans arose from
the mass about the rostrum whenever
tnr remark from the speaker called
forth applause from the Boy Scouts
and other persons in tho audience
rated further back lu t'.ie hall.
British Consul Lalulaw, who Intro
duced Jamea K. West, the 'first speaker,
was not spared from the outbursts of
the faction.
After declarinc that he believed the
Boy Scout movement to be one that
would work for the benefit and not the
Injury of society, when he said. "I be
lieve that every boy. both In Great
Britain and In the I'nited States should
have this training." the sound of his
voice was drowned In the chorus of
Jeers.
"Mr. Chairman, scouts and friends of
the scouts.'- began Mr. West as he rose,
after Mr. Laldlaw'a introduction.
"And regulars." shouted a hoarse
voice from the crowd.
"Whatever you may be." responded
Mr. West calmly. "I welcome you. also,
and I nope that you will be courteous
enouch to give us a fulr hearing in
what we have to say about the Boy
Scout movement."
Jeers tireet Jialesaa Oath.
In spite of the pacific attitude taken
by the speakers, the turbulent faction
continued to hiss and Jeer, some times
so loudly that the words of the speak
ers could scarcely be heard, but the
programme waa carried through as It
had been outlined. In spite of thts.
When Mr. West read the three pro
visions In the oath the Boy Scout takes
upon entering the association, the So
cialists were particularly loud in their
"demonstration."
"The Boy Scout swears on his honor
to do his best." he said, "to do hla duty
to God and his country: to help other
people at all times: to keep himself
physically strong, mentally awake and
lhvsiclly straight."
-What about UsTfnct. Mass.? Why
do they teach them to carry rifles;
Why do they train them to shoot down
the working manT" and a fire of other
questions were hurled at the speakers,
regardless of calls for silence from the
larger portion of the audience.

mit us to go on with this programme,"
said Mr. West, "I shall be glad to an
swer any of your questions. I do not
necessarily blame you for the attitude
you take, but I believe that it is based
upon misinformation, and if we may
have an opportunity to explain the
purpose of the movement to you, I
think you will cease to oppose It."
Before Introduclnn General Baden
Powell. If. C. Campbell, of the Board
of Education, quietly requested the So
cialists to refrain from Interrupting
the speaker, and said that If, after the
close of the programme, they had a
statement to make, they would be wel
come to come upon the rostrum and
would be heard.
General Baden-Powell Ignored their
Interruptions and addressed himself di
rectly to the boys In tho audience,
while the Socialists persistently broke
in with Jeers, questions and remarks,
outlining the purpose of the move
ment, not to train boys to be soldiers
but to give them practical Instruction
that will aid them In making a way
for themselves, and will Instill Into
them the principles of honor and cour
tesy to those in need of help, he denied
that the plan aimed to make military
material out of the boys of the coun
try. "I hope you lads will all come." he
said in closing his address. "Join the
Boy Scout movement and help in the
good work being done."
"Murderers," is Cry.
Cries of "They're all murderers; we've
got too many militia now," almost
drowned his voice for a moment, but
he smiled good-naturedly at the vo
ciferating Socialists until their voices
subsided, and then quietly finished his
speech. As be rat down Allen Mc
Donald, u representative of the Social
ists, mounted the platform and began
a harangue, while the greater portion
of the crowd, his turbulent partisans
alone excepted, left the building. Mr.
Rigler. stepping to the front of the
rostrum, ascertained the name of the
speaker and introduced him with for
mal courtesy, whereupon he launched
upon a tirade against "capital" and"the
master class." and denounced the Boy
Scout movement In bitterest terms,
cheered on by his associates.
When McDonald finished his harangue
General Baden-Powell stepped to the
front of the rostrum and announced
quietly thnt he would be pleased to
answer any questions that they might
ask. The volley of yells, meaningless
queries and taunts swelled to a pande
monium, so that It was Impossible for
questioners to make themselves heard.
F. C. Itnmp, of the Socialist pnrty. en
deavored to quiet the crowd and secure
a quiet discussion, but the uproar was
already beyond his control. After giv
ing ample time for the mob to become
quiet, when it showed no Indications
of bringing forward any questions for
him to answer, beyond uproarious yells
about "militia" and "Lawrence, Mass.."
General Baden-Poweil and his party
left the auditorium.
Kaeeratloaa Follow Party.
Part of the crowd followed him out
side and. surrounding the auto that
was waiting for him. screamed out exe
crations and Jeers after him as long as
the machine was In sight, and then re
turned to the auditorium, where they
sang boisterously the Socialists' song.
-The Red Flag." and held an after
meeeting at which several speakers
harangued vigorously against the Boy
Scouts and the Boy Scout movement.
"We would have been only too glad
to have enlightened them on many
points on which they have been misin
formed, after we finished our regular
meeting." said Mr. West last night. "If
those in the audience who were so bit
terly opposed to the movement desire It.
I would be glad to send them literature
upon the movement which will correct
many errors that they appear to have
rallrn Into. They have apparently con
fused the Boy Scout movement with
several other movements of a distinctly
military tendency which have been
started in the United States, but which
are in no way connected with the Boy
Scouts."
Boy Seonts Jeered.
TI.e Socialists again made a demon
stration last night, parading the
streets with drums and with banners
bearing inscriptions denouncing the
Boy-Scout movement. Boy Scouts of
the Portland organisation, who acted
as ushers at ti.e evening meeting at
the Multnomah Hotel, were In many
cases accosted by representatives of
the Socialists as they were entering
the hotel and either Jeered at or ad
vised to have nothing to do with the
movement.
"If you stay with that bunch." one
of the lads was told, "in a few years
they will have you shooting at your
parents and Xrlsoda."
Bankers May Now Deposit Script as
Collateral for Deposits Lumber
niens Bank Acted for Nu
merous Local Interests.
"OREGOXIAX NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, March . Portland improvement
bonds will be accepted by the Postoffice
Department as security of banks which
handle postal savings deposits. This
announcement was made here today.
The effect of tho decision that Port
land improvement bonds will be ac
ceptable as collateral to be given by
banks as security for deposits of postal
savings deposits Is expected to have the
effect of Immediately widening the mar
Let and causing an advance of their
price.
When the Postal Savings Bank was
i rat established In this city the bonds
were accepted by, the trustees of the
post&l savings bank system, and a
large block of them was deposited in
Washington by Portland banks and in
stitutions In other parts of the country,
which paid a substantial premium to
get them for this especial purpos?.
Last Fall the Washington authorities
suddenly announced that the bonds
were not a direct obligation of the
whole city, and would not be accepted
as collateral from banks for postal
savings deposits. They required banks
that had these securities deposited in
Washington to substitute other bonds,
l.umbennea'a Bank Acta. ,
Various Portland Interests at once
protested, and the Lumbermen's Na
tional Bank, which had a large block
of the bonds, obtained expert legal
opinion which clearly sustained the
bank's contention that the bonds were,
in tact, a direct obligation of the city
and, therefore, should be accepted by
the trustees of the postal savings sys
tem. This bank took the matter up
with the Postoffice Department, and the
reversal yesterday of the former order
was the result of this showing. An
opinion given by City Attorney Grant
was in line with the bank's contention,
and opinions rendered by lawyers em
ployed by bond houses all over the
country were the same.
"The decision was what we expected,"
said John A. Keating, vice-president of
the Lumbermen's National, last night.
"The best legal opinion concurred that
the bonds were a direct obligation of
the city. We have always been ready
to buy these bonds at a premium, as
they are in good demand for Invest
ment purposes. The decision makes for
these bonds a market co-extensive with
the entire country, and widens the
country from which Portland can get
money to finance Its street Improve
ments to the furthest limits."
Rise la Price Expected.
As a result of the decision of last
Fall, when the Integrity of the Port-
land Improvements waa attacked, the
price declined about a point. The city
sold about J500.000 In February be
tween 102 and 103. It Is expected that
the bonds to be sold next week to the
amount of about $400,000 will bring an
average of 103.
The following is the section of the
postal savings regulations relating to
the bonds In question:
"Bonds of any city. town, county or
other legally constituted municipality
or district in the United States which
has been in existence for a period of
10 years, and which for a period of 10
years previous has not defaulted In
the payment of any part of either prin
cipal or Interest of any funded debt
authorized to be contracted by it. and
whose net funded Indebtedness does not
exceed 10 per cent of the valuation of
Its taxable property, to be ascertained
by the last preceding valuation for the
assessment of taxes, w-ill be received
at "5 per cent of their market value,
such market value not to be considered
as exceeding par."

Spectators Wrench Htiffions IVora
Prostrate Body of George Illckel.
No Arrets Made.
Without further provocation than
that he was trying to wend his way
up Alder street and crossed a Socialist
demonstration parade, George Hlckel,
a 19-year-old boy, was Jumped on by
two members of the Ions line and
mauled until his face was hardly rec
ognizable. Absolutely no considera
tion for the youth of the pedestrian or
for his size was entertained and he
was thrown violently to the street be
fore the surrounding crowd could save
the boy from the maltreatment of the
two ruffians.
Hlckel was going up Alder street
in the direction of Seventh. The So
cialist demonstration was wandering
north on Sixth street and the string
extended for two or more blocks along
tho street. The boy tried to pass
through the ranks of the so-called
"laboring" men. As he crossed the
line some remajk was made to him.
He did not understand It. but Imagined
that It was a caution that he should
have waited until the string had
passed.
Don't you like It?" was Hlckel's re
tort. Immediately and before the aston
ished crowd along the sidewalks could
gather the significance of the affair,
the boy was thrown to the street and
a few kicks added. The spectators
promptly wrenched the hooligans
away.

Southern Oregon Reports in Favor
ot Portland Man.
Reports from Southern Oregon are
decidedly favorable to the candidacy
of Ben Selling for United States Sena
tor. Especially strong is the showing
in Coos County. From Albany, which
has been considered by some a strong
Bourne stronghold, it is reported that
Mr. Selling has a big following and his
support is growing dally. The record
of Mr. Selling as a member of the State
Senate and his vigorous advocacy and
support of popular legislation has not
been forgotten by the voters. This is
especial! ytrue in the agricultural dis
tricts, where a strong sentiment in
favor of Mr. Selling has developed.
Equally encouraging was the report
received yesterday from Wasco County.
Letters from all sections of the state
and Interviews with visitors calling at
Selling headquarters daJy show that
the candidacy of Mr. Selling is being
well received everywhere.
FAKE TELEGRAM TROUBLE
Abrdeen Mayor Made Butt ot Joke
by Politicians.
ABKRDEEX, Wash.. March 9. Mayor
Harry Ferguson, of Hoquiam. ex-Baptist
minister, is grieved and somewhat
troubled over a "fake" telegram sprung
by two local politicians as a Joke dur
ing the recent meeting of the state Re
publican committee in Tacoma.
A few minutes after Aberdeen had
been selected as the place for the state
convention, a wire was received advis
ing the committee that prior to the
convention Aberdeen would be voted
"dry" and that the committee should
send the convention to Hoquiam, which
had agreed to stay "wet."
At the last meeting of the Aberdeen

Peculiar After Effects
of Grip This Year
Leaves Kidneys In Weakened Condition
Doctors in all parts of the country
have been kept busy with the epidemic
of grip, which has visited so many
homes. The symptoms of grip this
year are very distressing and leave the
system in a run down condition, partic
ularly the kidneys, which seem to suf
fer most, aa every victim complains of
lame back and urinary troubles, which
should not be neglected, as these
danger signals often lead to more seri
ous sickness, such as dreaded Bright's
Disease. Local druggists report a large
sale on Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root
which so many people say soon heals
and strengthens the kidneys after an
attack of grip. Swamp-Root is a great
kidney, liver and bladder remedy, and,
being an herbal compound, has a gentle
healing effect on the kidneys, which is
almost Immediately noticed by those
who try It. Dr. Kilmer & Co., Bing
hamton, X. Y offer to send a sample
bottle of Swamp-Root, free by mall, to
every sufferer who requests it. A
trial will convince any one Who may
be in need of it. Regular size bottles
60 cts. and $1. For sale at all drug
gists. Be sure to mention this paper.
There and back
in half hour
was read in a joking way. Word was
at once carried to Hoquiam and laid at
the door of those who are said to bo
drafting a petition for the Mayor's
recall.
The jest grew as it was passed along,
and when it reached the Mayor it was '
stated as an actual fact that his name
had been forged to the telegram for the '
express purpose of irritating him and
putting him "in bad."
For the past few days rumors flew
thick and heavy and the Mayor's
friends were none too friendly witli
residents of their sister city. The joke
was made known last night and onco
