by some and was upheld by others. Or

heard. Mrs. Bergrer. wife of one of
the men who had been implicated in
the cases, got the floor protesting: that
her husband had been innocent and that

MEETS THIS WEEK
Commissioner Brewster to Be
One of Speakers at Seat
tle on Tuesday.
PROMINENT MEN ON LIST
Although women of the Civic League,
clubwomen and women not affiliated
with any organizations entered vig
orous protests yesterday to the clos
Ing of the doors -of Judge McGinn's
court to any but court officers during
the progress of the trials of baseball
players and others for offenses against
young girls, the Judge will keep the
public out and the unwholesome de
tails in.
He said last night he would' not
change his attitude, that the partic
ulars that must be told during the
progress of the trials are not for the
public ear. Other trials in the series
which start this week also will be held
behind closed doors.
"When a girl has a past, as in these
cases," said Judge McGinn, "the re
volting story shall not be told in pub
Forced Ont.
Two women tried to gain entrance to
the courtroom yesterday morning but
were pointedly requested to leave the
room and the trial of Robert Davis pro
ceeded.
Testerday women held a mass 'meet
ing and adopted, a resolution against
Judge McGinn's action. The Civic
League at luncheon discussed it and
appointed a committee. Judge McGinn
holds to his original stand that to make
public trials of this sort Is to outrage
public decency.
After a stormy session of impassioned
addresses and repeated calls to order,
the mass meeting of women held yester
day In Library Hall for the purpose of
protesting the action of Judge McGinn,
finally adopted the following resolu
tlon:
"Whereas, by the decision of one of
our juages, women wnose auties as or
ficials and protectors of women and
children were debarred from being
present wnen a case of moral delin
quency requiring a girl or 1 to be a
witness, was tried; therefore, be It
.Resolved, That, as representative
women assemoiea in tms mass meet
ing, we protest against such action
and demand that wherever women are
to be tried or are to appear as wit
nesses, there women may also be per-
Mrs. Baldwin Reports.
Mrs. M. L. T. Hidden read the reso
lution, which was adopted. Mrs. Jose
phine R. Sharp, president of the Wom
en s Political Science Club, presided
and Miss Grace De Graft, National
president of the League of Grade
Teachers, served as secretary. Repre
sentatives from many women's clubs
and organizations were present and the
Indorsement of a large number of col
legiate alumnae women was sent in
and announced.
Mrs. Lola G. Baldwin reported her ex
perience in accompanying the girl. Mar.
garet Frykman, to the courtroom and
of having been asked to leave.
"I note that Judge McGinn has said
that if we want to get Into the court
room we will have to use militant
methods," said Mrs. Baldwin. "Person
ally I shall never resort to such meth
ods. I shall go when I am told to go.
I was brought up In the old school.
believed that Judges were righteous
before I became a social worker. We
must go very carefully in this mat
ter."
Girl's Nervousness Cited.
Dr. Miriam Van Waters said she had
attended the girl and had found her in
a nervous state and with a high tem
perature and that it seemed her duty
when the girl did go . to court to ac
company her. She spoke of the girl as
a child, referring to her frankness and
braveness before the trial and. of her
crushed and forlorn appearance after
being grilled before the 24 men for
three hours and a -half without one
woman to stand by her.
Dr. "Van Waters said that the effect
of that trial would be a bad Influence
on the girl's attitude toward the world
Jorever.
"The girl is fourteen and a grade
student," said Dr. Van Waters. "Her
mother is a foreigner and she didn't
understand conditions. The man was
29 and married. He Is free. Shall we
let girls go into courtrooms alone?
Shall we submit to, this eoclal iniquity?"
Action Termed Shame.
A half dozen women rose at once.
Mrs.' Hidden was granted the floor.
"I have often been indignant over
things that happened in the courts,"
she said. "Let us take action now
that we are voters and see that such
a thing never happens again. It is a
shame and a disgrace to civilization
that we allow any woman, bad or
good, to stand alone. Women must
stand by each other. Every 14-year-old
girl who falls into the clutches of a
married man is wronged, I don't care
what her past was. It is up to ua to
Improve conditions. In this ease the
thing to do is to protest. Let us take
action and send forth a resolution."
"Take it with a mass meeting of
women to Judge McGinn tomorrow,'
eaid Mrs. Mary L. Stevens.
"Tomorrow's Sunday," put in some
one else.
"Then take It Monday," said Mrs.
Btevens.
"Take along a hatchet," suggested
someone In the rear of the hall.
Tom Bwu "Butts In."
"Question," called another.
"Is Judge McGinn on trial here?"
asked Mrs. J. R. Oatman. "Mrs. Baldwin
la condemning him for what she herself
did in the Lillie Larkins case."
Just then a mere man "butted" Into
the meeting. He was Tom Burns, who
Etarted to abuse Judge McGinn. He
was silenced by the chair.
Mrs. A- 3. Clark, who began to tell
of her troubles, was "called down" for
not sticking to the topic in hand.
Mrs. Emma Carroll suggested that
the women were assembled not to try
Judge McGinn, but a principle. Dr.
Marie Equl said that the experience of
the girl in the case would destroy her
moral perception and that the double
standard of morality was at the bot
tom of the whole question.
Mrs. W. J. Hawkins said it was a
crime to consider a girl of 14 a woman
and that she should be treated as
child. Mrs. Carroll, who spoke again
eaid that the court should allow women
reporters to report such cases: that
friend or a good woman should be with
the person that is a witness, but that
she was opposed to encouraging the
opening of courts to maudlin curiosity
seekers.
"We women wanted a representative
at this and like trials. Mrs. Baldwin
is our representative. If she isn't sat
isfactory, let's get another," said Mrs.
Carroll.

EUGENE,
The fancy dancing craze which has
swept college society this Fall with
variations of the tango, one-step and
common "rag," received a rude shock
today when the Gamma Phi Beta worn

rorltles in the university, placed its of

fashioned, two-step, waltz and three

The action Is heralded by Dr. John
Straub, dean of the university, as the
forerunner of a campaign which 1

"outrageous' dances,
'Its the first step on the Pacific
Coast toward getting back to the ra

The Governor declares that the state

The State Land Board has advertised

to the records kept of the yields, has
increased in producing power, at least
40 per cent.
In 1894, the year following- tho reor
ganization of the State College, the
ground was plowed in the Bummer, and
allowed to lie idle that year. In 1896
and 1897, wheat was produced, running
24 bushels to the acre the latter year,
and slightly better the former. In
1898, oats went in, producing 3S bush

and corn were produced, the yields ex

the surrounding farms, it was "bien

In the year 1908, the tract was sown
to clover, which stayed en. for three
years, producing the first year, one

peas, and In 1910, a heavy oat crop
was grown, wheat had Its turn in

40 bushels to the acre; wheat again In
1918, making 46 bushels: and the pres
