Competition In 1914.
"I thought I was seeins tine babies
at all the eugenic shows I attended on
mv way to Oregon, but I did not re
alize what perfect babies were pos-
Blble until I reached tho eugenics ex
position at the -.State Fair in. Salem,'
aid Mrs. Charles S. Simms, of Knox
vlile, Tenn., special writer on eugenics
tor the Woman a Home Companion, wno
epent a few hours in Portland yester
day on her way from Salem to Los
Angeles, where she is to visit for a time
before returning to New Tork.
Before coming to Salem, Mrs. Simms
attended the eugenics show at North
Yakima, and before that she attended
everal other similar shows in other
parts of the Pacific Northwest.
"The show at Salem was, however,
the first I have attended on this Coast
In which the babies exhibited were the
nick from all of tho communities in
the state." she said. "And the babies
3 found there were the finest iu every
way that I have ever seen gathered at
one show. - .
Kanzler Baby Perfect.
"Little Jane Kanzler, of Portland, the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob
Kanzler, is a perfect child in every re
spect, and not only is she perfect phys
ically, but is beautiful enough to win
prizes in a baby show conducted even
under the old system of awarding for
mere beauty Instead of physical per
fection." The success of baby Jane Kanzler in
the Oregon exposiiion places her in
line to compete for the $25,000 prize
at the eugenics show at the Panama
Pacific Exposition. She is an only
child and has been cared for by parents
who thoroughly believe in the prin
ciples of eugenics and. physical culture.
It was a source of pride to Jacob
Kanzler, her father, to telegraph the
news to her maternal gratia father.
Judge Francis J. Hamer. of Lincoln,
Neb., that his little granddaughter, not
yet 3 years old, had won the sweep
stakes, the grand championship and
first-class prize In the eugenics contest
In which she competed against the best
babies Oregon could produce.

Mr. and Mrs. F. H. Buchanan. Mr.
Buchanan is a professor in the public
schools of that city. The baby Is 3
years old.
Margaret Hooper, daughter or Mr.
and Mrs. Marshall Hooper, of Grants
Pass, is another winner of high honors
in eugenics contests. At Salem she
won first prize in the class of 2-year-old
country girls, and In the Josephine

and received the championship ribbon.
The cost of her trip to Salem and re

fruit farm. At the county fair Sep
tember 24, Kenneth took the first prize

babies exhibited. Mr. and Mrs. Camp
bell could hardly believe their baby
had taken the prize when shown The
Oregonian message announcing the re
sult. While Portland babies carried away
the larger proportion of prizes awarded
In the city baby classes, owing to the
greater numbers from which the com
petitors were selected, Salem also had
entered a goodly number of prize win
ners, among whom were: Irene Helten
hoff, Henrietta Bishop, Virginia Ber
ger, David Cherrington, Donald Steven
eon, Thomas Williams. Corvallis has

of Freddie Schroeder, the 7-year-old
boy who was killed by a scavenger
wagon driven by Henry George, of
Grand avenue and Beach street, Fri

killed the boy until tho officers in
formed him of the death.- George said
on the witness stand that he had no
recollection of seeing the boy or of
having any part In the death.
Others testified that George, who
was said to have been Intoxicated,
drove rapidly away when he found
that the boy was hurt and did not re
turn to his home, where Detectives
Mallett and Price, on information fur-
nished by Patrolman Li 11 is, found
George's son and induced him to lead
tbem to his father.

to school for the afternoon session,
from the playground, which is on the
opposite corner. He was the son of

Southern Pacific shops.

0-W. R. N. DIVISION HEAD WILL
JOIN EASTERN ROAD.
B. E. Palmer, Engineer of Maintenance
of Way, Is Appointed to Vacancy
In Ranks of Superintendent.
J. D. Stack, superintendent of the
Portland division of the O.-W. R. & N.
Company, has resigned his position to
become Identified with an Eastern
road, and B. E. Palmer, engineer of
maintenance of way, has been appoint
ed in his place.
Mr. Palmer has been with the O.-W.
R. & N. Company for the last three
months, previously having been with
Twohy Brothers, railroad contractors.
His operating experience was gained
with the Northern Pacific, for which
road he served as division superintend
ent in Montana, at Spokane and other
points.
Mr. Stack had been a resident of
Portland for three years and was pop
ular with -his associates and subordi
nates alike. He kept in close touch
with the agents and other employes
out "on the line" and endeavored con
stantly to bring about a higher stand
ard of responsibility and efficiency of
the country station agent. He believes
that a well-paid agent with more
power and authority than that which
they now possess will bring about a
better understanding and more
amicable relations between the rail
roads and their patrons. Many other
officials share the same view. It Is
probable that Mr. Stack will return to
Portland for a few days before finally
taking up his new duties in the East.
Before coming to Portland he was
with the Southern Pacffic at Sacramento.

have figuratively splashed one anoth
er's faces across the Culebra cut, the
gallant companeros of the Commercial
Club and their senoras may sit at a
banquet which will In all things be
typical of Panama,
The waiters will be clad in costume
Panamanian, and as they serve the
guests the lilting rhythm of the Span
ish orchestra will drown the tinkle of
the glassware and the surprised ex
clamations of the unlnitiate who bite
suddenly and unexpectedly into the
peppered enchillada.
. In the meantime the entertainment
committee, which is devising the
"Panama dinner," which is to celebrate
the opening of the great canal. Is plan
ning other stunts which will make the

Company Cites Six Reasons for Non
compliance With Order, Declar
ing Statute Does Not Ap
ply in This Instance.
The question of a E-cent fare to an4
from Watson yesterday was put up to
District Attorney lvans when he re
celved a letter from Clyde Altchlson,
Railroad Commissioner, in which th
public utilities official declared it was
the opinion of the Commission that the
Portland Railway, Light & Power Com
pany was violating a statute In con
tinuing to charge more than 5 rents
for tickets to Watson. Mr. Altchlson
said In the letter that he believed the
matter could be adjusted only by taking
it into court for adjudication.
The statute provides that "It shall
be unlawful. ... to charge a rate
of fare to any passenger exceeding the
sum of 6 cents for any one continuous
trip in any one general direction be
tween any two points on the street
railway line. . . . within the cor
porate limits of such city."
The railway company has given six
reasons why this statute does not ap
ply to the Watson fare and attorneys
for the company recently outlined to
the Railroad Commission its position
In the matter.
The six reasons why the company be
lieves the statute does not cover the
Watson case follow:
First The lines to Watson are not
wholly within the city.
Second A continuous trip within the
meaning of the company must be en
tirely within the corporate limits.
Third The Sprlngwatcr or Caiadero
division, on which division Watson is
situated, is not a street railway.
Fourth Watson cannot be reached
by one continuous trip In one general
direction.
Fifth The Mount Scott franchise
does not control in the present matter,
for Watson is on a line not constructed
under the Mount Scott franchise.
Sixth The difference lit cost of op
eration of street railways and interur.
ban lines must control.
