GLADSTONE PARK, Or., July 17.
(Special.) Delia Crowder Miller,
one of America's leading dramatic
Interpreters, and Colonel George
TV. Bain, of Kentucky, the grand
old man of the lecture platform,
each captivated a great audience
st Chautauqua today. Mrs. Miller read
"Ben Hur" before 3500 people this aft
ernoon, and tonight the veteran orator
from the Blue Grass state played on the
heartstrings of an even larger audi
ence. . There was no need of scenery, or
costumes, or chariots, in Mrs. Miler's
picture of "Ben Hur." She proved a
genuine artist in her interpretation ofj
General Wallace's great masterpiece.
It was all eo genuinely artistic that
her large audience paid the finest
tribute which can be accorded a speaker
they kept their seats until she had
finished, and remained silent.
As for the grand old man of Ken
tucky well, he made good with a
vengeance, as he has done on three
former occasions at Gladstone Park
during the past 22 years. His subject
tonight was "Among the Masses, or
Traits of Character."
Ovation Give Speaker.
Colonel Bain was given an ovation
by the Chautauquans as he stepped on
the platform. He is somewhat over 75
years old. but his intellectual vigor
teems to have grown more virile with
the lapse of years and his voice has
acquired a sweeter and more impelling
tone than ever. He never was.. more
effective than tonight in Gladstone
Park.
Willamette University hour was the
feature this morning. Representative
Hawley and President Carl Doney each
spoke, and readings were given by
Helen Miller Senn. of Portland. In
closing his series of Government study
lectures this morning, Mr. Hawley said:
"I cannot tell you the pleasure that
has been mine to meet you all again.
In the years that have elapsed since
the old days at Gladstone Park many
of you have ripened and your lives
have grown sweeter with the ripening
of years. I trust we will meet again."
Mr. Hawley has been at Gladstone
Chautauqua 15 of the 22 years at its
existence.
Gnllatto Trio Heard.
Two other delightful features of to
day's programme were the appearance
of the Gullatto trio at 1:15 and 7:30 to
day and the address by Miss DeGraff
at Mother Congress headquarters at 4
P. M. Miss DeGraff spoke on her ex
periences with Jane Addams at The
Hague.
The closing day will see another rec
ord attendance. The day is filled with
features of unusual interest. The
Tyrolean Alpine Yodlers will appear
twice, at 1 P. M. and 7:30. Dr. Roland
A. Nichols, the man who "fathered"
Harold Bell Wright, speaks at 8 o'clock
on "The Man Worth While." At 4
o'clock the big Chautauqua chorus Of
100 voices, under direction of Professor
J. H. Cowen, will give a sacred con
cert.' Many of Portland's beet-known
vocalists will take part, among them
being Jane Burns Albert, soprano; Vir
ginia Spencer Hutchinson, contralto;
Norman A. Hoose, tenor; Hartridge G.
Whipp. baritone, and A. E. Davidson,
bass.
Special trains over the Portland Rail
way. Light & Power Company's line
(Oregon City car) will leave First and
Alder streets every half hour during
the day and evening. A special section
of the park will be roped off for autos
near the upper gate.
NO SALARIES ARE PAID

celved any expense money in addition
to his commissions?"
Commissions Sale Remunerative.
"No."
"Then he paid the expenses of his
trip into Harney County, including a
stage ride of more than 150 miles, out
of his commisisons?"
Mr. House said this was the case.
"If he hadn't sold a single share of
stock on his trip and had thus made no
commissions, he would have been out
all his expenses?"
"Yes."
"That's all." said Mr. Magulre.
An important witness for the Gov
ernment in its case against Mr. Camn-
bell was Elmer B. Payne, assistant
cashier of the Eugene Loan & Savings
isanK, or iiugene. Mr. Payne, it turned
out, was also an invetor in Cashier
stock, but he was put on the stand
by United States Attorney Reames rrl-
marlly to bring out a point the Gov
ernment wanted to make in connection
with the missing $8 a share for various
blocks of stock sold for $14 a share
to Eugene investors, but for which
only $6 a share is accounted for in the
Frank Menefee special acouat.
which was the center of Interest In
Friday s testimony.
Notes Go to Personal Account.
This point was that the note for
$1400 which Professor John Straub, of
the university of Oregon, paid Mr.
Campbell for 100 shares at $14 a share:
E. O. Tobey's e$1400. not note for 100
shares at the same price: Mr. Payne's
check for $500 for 80 shares at $6.25
a share, and other checks from buyers
of stock in Eugene were deposited in
the Eugene bank by Mr. Campbell in
his personal account.
The witness identified deposit slips
entered witn tne bank and testified
tbat the notes of Professor Straub. and
Mr. Tobey had been sold to the bank
by Mr. Campbell.
From the deposit of these sums by
Mr. Campbell to the. entries In Mr. Men
efee's special account, showing the
crediting of SG for each of the shares
thus sold at $14 a share, there is no
trace of th'e other 8.
Mr. Payne said he got his stock for
6.25 a share on April 2, 1912, Mr. Camp
bell having written him to give his
check for $500 and he would get him
some stock. The witness said he didn't
know how many shares he was to get
or the price to be paid, but left that
all to Mr. Campbell, who got him a
price of- $6.25 a. share. He bought as
a speculation.
Machine Tried by Bask.
The witness was questioned about a
cashier machine the bank had bought
for $100, including- a rebate of $100
given by Mr. Campbell, with the agree
ment that if not satisfactory after six
months" trial the price would be re
funded. Mr. Payne said the machine
did all that was claimed for it, but did
not prove fitted to the purposes of the
bank and was returned. The bank got
its money back as agreed, be added.
Accountant House, following Mr.
Payne on the stand, testified that Mr.
Payne's SO shares were charged to the
Frank Menefee special account. When
this account was closed out Decem
ber 31, 1913, he said, this stock was
settled with the company, as shown In
the entries, for $1 a share, though Mr.
Payne paid $6.25 a share for it and it
had been charged against Mr. Menefee
at par value of $10 a share. The dif
ference between the $10 and the $4 had
been charged to the "premium" ac
count, he explained!
Two hundred shares oougnt Dy w. .
Rearick direct from the company's
treasury stock and charged to the Men
efee special account at par value of $10
a share, Mr. House testified, was set
tled In the account at $6 a share, the
difference of $4 being charged up to
the "premium" account.
Mr. House Examined Closely.
Attorney Pipes subjected Mr. House
to a vigorous cross-examination as to
the inferences to be drawn from his
testimony in regard to the Menefee
special account.
Mr. Pipes sought to bring out in nis
questioning that this account was a
private memorandum kept by ' Mr.
Menefee so that he could tell whether
stock sales were made from company
tock. or stock owned by Mr. Menefee.
Mr. House said he did not understand
from his examination of it that the
special account was kept for that pur
pose. "Was any stock charged on the spe
cial account, certificates of which
showed it had previously been Issued
to Mr. Menefee?" asked Judge Bean.
"No, replied Mr. House.
Attorney Pipes then announced to
the court that he would call Mr. House
back to the stand Monday, with the
books of the company, for further
cross-examination to clear up the spe
cial Account question.
Mr. Menefee to Espials At .
He said that he would endeavor to
show in this cross-examination, from
the books of the company, that in this
special account Mr. Menefee had charged
oft against himself shares of the com
pany's stock as they were issued on
sales, in order to keep trace of this
stock from the time it was issued and
sold to the time the subscriptions were
paid, and that Mr. Menefee had trans
ferred his own stock back to the com
pany against stock so issued. The ac
count was a private one, he asserted.
and any discrepancies in it were not
intentional.
Mr. Pipes said the full explanation
of the special account would be mad
by Mr. Menefee when he takes the stand
himself later in the trial.
In tne host of apparently damaging
letters written by various salesmen to
the company in regard to their stock
selling plans, so far introduced in evi
dence by the Government, none ha yet
been introduced that was written by
B. F. Bonnewell or H. M. Todd, two of
the defendants. The evidence against
them has been oral for the raont part.
The most damaging of the letters in
troduced were written by O. L. Hopson
and Joseph Hunter. Hunter has pleaded
guilty and Hopson, a fugitive from Jus
tice since last February, has Just been
captured by United States authorities.
Oregon Womei Asked to
Aid Sisters in East.
Money Needed for Saffraare Cam
pnlarn In New Jersey, and Several
Give Prompt Response.
BY EDITH KNIGHT HOLMES.
ILL the women of the West
come to our aid In this criti
cal time?"
This is the cry that has come out
from the East to the women of Ore
gon. Here is the opportunity for those
who recently gained the right to vote
to show that they are loyal to their
sex. ' Here is a chance to prove that,
though women may be inconsistent in
little things, they are not so in the, big
affairs of life.
The plea from the East was sent to
Mrs. Solomon Hlrsch. who was a
leader in the campaign for equal suf
frage in this state. It came in the
form of a night letter written by
Helen Hoy Greeley, one of the most
distinguished women of the East.
In the hour of their need they who
are struggling for the franchise felt
they could turn to those who had it
and knew it to be a sane and Just
thing.
The election upon which the hopes
of the workers hinge will be held in
New Jersey October 19. If New Jersey
favors the movement the leaders feel
that New York will be strongly influ
enced. The election on the all-important
question in the latter state will
come on November 2. Before these
dates much hard work must be done.
Many of the workers are donating
their time and talents unstintingly
and untiringly. But some money is an
absolute necessity, and so the women
who are making the big effort are
looking to the Far west for help. And
it must be sent immediately or much
ground will be lost.
Mrs. Hirsch volunteered to head the
list with a donation. Mrs. C. S. Jack
son asked to be given an opportunity
to assist, and Mrs. Henry Ladd Cor
bett. who is a former New Yorker, and
knows conditions, will give substantial
aid. Mrs. Elliott Corbett. Mrs. P. J.
Mann and several others have already
volunteered to help. Whatever is done
must be done within the next few
days. No matter whether the sum be
large or small. It will show the spirit
of the West. It will demonstrate that
the women of Oregon are sincere.
"Many women do not take an in
terest because they have always had
some one to take care of them, pro
vide for them, think for them even,
and they do not realize what other
women have to contend with," said a
prominent local woman as she offered
to participate, in helping tho Eastern
women. "I was not In favor of suf
frage," said another, "but i found it
worked so beautifully. Women vote
In a dignified manner. They do not
neglect their homes or their babies for
politics. They study the needs of the
community, the character and qualifi
cations of the man running for office,
and then they cast their ballot. Now
I want the men of the East to be as
broad-minded, sensible and chivalrous
as were our Western men. and I am
glad to give my little share."
Those who wish to assist in the
cause to which these have subscribed
may send their check to Mrs. Solomon
Hirsch. St. Clair and Washington
streets.
Those who are making the appeal
are not militants. They are -doing
their work in a Alcrnlfleri kiu....
like, womanly way, with kindness In
their hearts and a desire to help the
women of the East to the liberty that
Is possessed by the West,

BY ROBERT R. M'CORMICK.
(Copyright. 1915. by the Chicago Tribune.
Published by arrangement. )
PETROCSRAD. June 22. Every Rus
sian army regiment has a homo town,
after which It is named and from
which at least a large proportion of
Its soldiers are drawn. This gives it
the advantage of having "people back
home" to take a special Interest in its
welfare, to mako special presents to
Its wounded ana to Are its soldiers
with letters of praise.
Soma of the guard regiments are
named after the largest cities, as of
Petrograd, or of provinces, as of Fin
land, with the same result.
The Russian regular army thus gets
the same popular support that comes
to our volunteers In time of war, but
not to our regulars; at the same time It
has tho training of regular soldiers;
anyone can see the advantage of giv
ing soldiers both training and popular
support over our system of giving
training to one and popular support to
the other and both to neither.
Brilliant Feats Perpetuated.
Brilliant feats in history also are
recalled In name and equipment. There
is the regiment which stood in battle
until, tradition says, blood flowed up
to the boot tops. This regiment is dis
tinguished by a red band on the tops
of the boots.
There is the division which stood
against odds of four to one and checked
General Van Damme after the battle
of Dresden, contributing more than
any other one single feat of the armies
to the overthrow of Napoleon. The
Prussian King gave to each of the sur
vivors .the Iron Cross.
There are regiments famed for bat
tles against the Turk, against the Kil
gia. feats of arms as great and as un
known to us as la the sacrifice of the
Alamo in Europe.
Tho Seminovsky regiment held Ks
fete while I was at Lomza and General
BezobrazofC was kind enough to in
vite roe and the British artillery at
tache to be present. We spent a con
siderable time while we admired the
way in which the regiment had con
cealed their cannon and tho enterprise
with which they selected observation
points. Thus the regiment was drawn
up in hollow square for solemn mass
when we arrived.
Altars Erected la Orchards.
In van orchard had been erected
two altars which the Greek service
requires, one In the lino of troops, the
other In the center of the square. Near
tho first stood the choir, chosen sing
ers from the regiment. At the second
stood the priests with their high col
lars and flowing robes, some of white,
some of yellow.
In. the center of the square stood the
General commanding the corps and Be
hind him his staff and the commander
of the regiment. Beside him on hli left
upon a spirited thoroughbred horse sat
a grave man with pointed beard -and
thinning hair. It was the Grand Duke
Boris, who had visited tho United
States as a young man 12 years ago.
The change these years had wrought
reminded me forcibly of the lapse of
time.
At a word of command the troops
grounded arms, at another word they
removed their caps. The service began.
Tho service Is Intoned throughout and
Is assisted from time to time by the
voices of tfTe choir. The soldiers neither
sing nor pray audibly, but their ardent
participation in the ceremony is seen
from their moving Hps and the devout
way In which they make tho sign of
tne cross.
The Cossacks are said to be the most
devout of the Russians, but I bare been
impressesd by the unanimity of the re
ligious feeling which permeates the
wnoie army.
Russian Officer Acts As Model.
Then followed ceremonies particular
to tne regiment. At some of theaa oniv
the troops come fo the salute, at others
troops anC the visiting officers, at
others the officers alone. Being in the
rront rank or tne visitors, I found my
self somewhat lost when to salute and
when not.
Stepping back and turning to tho left.
I hoped to model my conduct after that
or the British attache, to find that of.
fleer had been copying my mistakes In
the same manner. A Russian officer,
perceiving our embarrassment, took
station whore wo could see him to
model our conduct.
The commandmant in the center
caned ror cneera for various men and
things, which were heartily responded
to by 4000 throats, and he called for
cheers for the Emperor, to which tho
woods resounded until my arm grew
tired from maintaining the salute.
wmie me Dana piayea tho national
hymn, not once, but several times.
Next came the review.
I suppose readers will become wearv
of my constant alulslon to the military
exercises wnicn seemed to" be foolish
formalities before I came to the war.
They do look foolish at home, but In
sound of tho enemy's guns -even the
strut step nas Its value.
The straightened back and lifted
neaa react favorably upon tho nerv
ous system of tho man about to sro un
der fire. The eager response to orders
is to a regiment what snap is to a foot-
Dan team..
Men Heavier Thaw Officers.
The parade of a guard regiment li a
remarkable sight. The officers are
average size man. but tho soldiers are
a head taller -and fully 50 pounds heav
ier to tne man., This la in marked con
trast to tho English regiments, where
I havo remarked that tho officers are
notaDiy taller than the men a fact
which the German sharpshooters were
not slow to discover and which slml
larity of uniforms cannot hide.
I noticed that many of tho officers
were very young, and that not a few
walked with a limp. This could not be
niaaen before the reviewing stand
Small wonder! The regiment possessed
iu orricers at the outbreak of the war,
and has suffered 74 casualties.
After the review was a reception for
tno orricers. Then while tho rtrlmunt
picnicked under the trees, a birthday
dinner was held indoors. , The table
was not large enough for all. ao only
the officers of higher rank were seat
ed. The Captains and Lieutenants, ex
cept a foreign attache, stood.
This fete formed th rnvmlnn e
meeting between friends whom war
had separated and was pleasant to sea.
Those who had received promotion or
decoration for distinguished service
wore tho recipients of hearty eongratu-

various toasts were drunk, beginning
with the health of the Czar and end
ing with the toast to England, the King
of England and the British army, in
honor of the British military attache.
Then, as he stood, the band clayed
"Rule Britannia."
Then, noticing that an American was
present, word was hurriedly sent to the
toastmaster to include our country, and
similar hurried instructions were sent
to the band. The toastmaster gave the
toast. "America. President Roosevelt
and the American Army."
And as I. the sole American, stood.
tho young- officers shouted themselves
hoarse with fellowship and the band
outside strained to the tune of "Too
Much Mustard." Somewhat later the
toastmaster came to my chair and
apologized for his mistake, to which I
replied that the mistake was not his.
but ours.
As we drove back to our headquar
ters we saw the regiment at play. Some
were playing two villages, the Rus
sian ninepins,, some exercising on the
parallel bars and tho horizontal bar,
while the new recruits had procured
the services of some non-commissioned
officers and were sr-ndlng their holi
day in practicing tho attack, which
little fact would havo given me an in
sight Into the morale of the army If at
this stage of the war I had needed
any.

greater vitallnatlon of th work and a closer
correlation Kith the actual situations of life,
especially by th Introduction of local and
contemporary history and currant eventa.
Is to. bo strongly commended.
A. That greater attention should be de
voted to th study habita of pupfla. It is
realised that th relatively small amount
ef werk done by hlch school pupils ts re
sulting In a general hsilness and inaccu
racy of mind. 1 1 la urged that more ef the
school day be spent in supervised study and
that the classroom periods be lengthened to
at least 60 nilnuirs, nf which tiu. a part
up to one-hslf shall be spent by ths pupils
In preparing th next lesson.
a. That th school sys:em used In Carr.
lnd.. possesses some features that nisy be
embodied In any school system. Prominent
smong these ar th lengthening of the
school day. th us of a givoit classroom or
ther working space by two or mvre Inde
pendent groups ef pupils, th departmental
isms' of teaching and the snrtchlng of the
course of study along th lines nf vocational
training, play and physical education. I.o-l
conditions should be given careful consider
ation and the plan tried out In on or two
bulldlncs most suited to th Idea and under
a principal and teachers specially selected to
give' It a fair trial.
"SU-Ms" I'laa Is Favored.
T. That a careful atudy bo made of the
standard meaaurlng scale dvld for meas
uring results of teaching th varloua sub
jects in our school Th commltt real
ises that th stsndsrds f th past have sees
largely t heorell.-al. but believe that th
measuring scales now In current us th
HUlesas and Harvard-Newton scale for
msseunng English canrpnantlon. th Cour
tis snd fton tests In arithmetic, th Ayres
aad Thomdtk acls for measuring hand
writing, tha Ayrea tests la spelling, th
Courtis tests In reading ar mor objective
and that In th near future these scales and
others wilt b s perfected that results la
school work may b adequately measured.
S. That w favor th "stX'Sla" plan now
being widely adopted and recommend It to
towns and cities where ciretimstancea make
Its Introduction feasible. We bellev that
th very marked chsnses la th needs snd
Interests of pupils ef the upper grammar
grade should be mec by corresponding
Chang's in the cur ef etady and organi
sation of th school.
a. The commute desires to express ts
TT. Sheldon Its sincere appreciation of the
skill and tact with which h has directed
thee conferences, and to Dr. tchafer for
his hearty ce-operauon and support. We
believe that these conferences have been of
great service in bringing sbnut a consensus
of opinion on current educational problems
and strongly recommend that they k mad
a permanent featur of the bummer ses
sion of the t'ntverslty of Oregon.
