Church for Public. THE SUNDAY OEEGONIAJf, PORTLAND, OCTOBER 17. 1915. $1050 32-1 Mrs. Ballington Booth, leader of the Prison League of America and Wife of General Ballington Booth, president of the Volunteers of America, will arrive In Portland Tuesday and speak at the First Presbyterian Church, Tuesday night at 7:30, at a public meeting- On her way to Portland Mrs. Booth will top at Balem to- speak at the State Penitentiary. Mrs. Booth, affectionately known to the country's prisoners as "Little ' Mother," was born in Limpsfield, Surrey, England, and was the daughter of Rev. Samuel Charlesworth, rector first of Limpsfield, and then of a large parish in London. She began her publlo career among the Communists in Paris. Aftprwarda her field lay in Switzerland and later in Sweden. She was married to Ballington Booth 26 years ago and they came to America and were natur alized. At first they worked In con nection with the Salvation Army. Volunteers Are Orsranlxed. Seventeen years ago they left the organization and founded the Volun teers of America. Since that time Mrs. Booth has made the prison her special care. The Volunteer Prison Leajrue was started In Sing Sing some 19 years ago, with a membership of 65. Now the league proudly points to Mrs. Booth as "Little Mother," and she is known to all convicts in 42 state prisons. More than 80,000 men in prison have Joined the Volunteer Prison League. She has established homes known as Hope Halls" to which the men may go after their release from prison. Through two of these 15.000 men have parsed to honest lives. A beauti ful country home called "Rainbow House." has been opened for the wives and children of the prisoners. A great volume of aid that is given to dis charged and pardoned prisoners is vastly increased by the organization, which reaching any state in the Union helps men to obtain work no matter what place they have formally called home. Much Good Accomplished. An inestimable amount of good has been accomplished by the Volunteer Prison League of America, which is formed within the penitentiary walls and strives to make the men see more clearly the mistakes they have made and to shape their lives so that on re turning to freedom they may be in a measure prepared for better and truer citizenship, and to bear their part of the burden of National work. It is practicable in every way and encour ages no loafing, but is a reclaiming or ganization to start men back on the right road. The work is not restricted to any creed. Catholic, Hebrews, Protestants and all other religious and non-religious foreigners and Americans, old crooks and first offenders are alike welcomed in the order. Families Are Aided. A third branch of the work is to help the needy families of the men who are in prison. The organization keeps in touch with hundreds of wives, mothers and little children, who they help with food, clothing, rent, work and medical treatment. Mrs. Booth is known to several hundreds of little children who the order, with her personal su pervision, has kept from possible ab jection. Mrs. Booth has two children of her own. a son and a daughter. Her daughter is now associated with her and will, if her present career con tinues, follow close In the ways of her benevolent mother. While in Portland Mrs. Booth will be entertained by a number of people who are prominent in the local rescue work nnd her talk at the First Presbyterian Church Tuesday night will be open to the public. TRAIL BOOSTERS SOUGHT THOUSANDS OF MEMBERS TO BE OATHERKD IX CAMPAIGN. I -. , ' : - 9. I , J MONARCHY IS OPPOSED CHIXESB VS AMERICA WILL FIGHT FOR REPUBLIC. Reports of Larch Mountain Work: and Plans for Water Supply on Peak Are Heard. To launch a campaign for thousands of new members, the Trails Club of Oregon met in the green room of the Chamber of Commerce Friday night. The organization is new and has been formed to -obtain greater adver tisement of Oregon's scenio wonders. It also has the definite object in view of securing the title to the land that forms the watershed of Multnomah Creek, the stream that feeds Multno mah Falls. In order that Multnomah Falls shall always be a scenic asset for Oregon and Portland in particular, members of the club wish to insure against the destruction of the watershed and the consequent dwindling and tinal drying up of tho waters of Multnomah Falls. At their meeting Friday night It was revealed that work on the housing of the lookout station on the 6ummlt of Larch Mountain had been commenced by a nirtu in the employ of the club, and a stove will be installed, both for heat and cooking. Kfforts are also being made to ascer tain the best means of getting water to the top of Larch Mountain, and the plan of tfsmuel C. Lancaster, the presi dent of the club and the engineer in charge of the construction of the Co lumbia Highway, is to install, if pos Kifcle. an overshot wheel in one of the lake outlets at the bottom of the moun tain that wiil furnlc-h water In the daytime and electricity at night. TREASON ARREST RELATED Men Who Advised Yuan to Establish Empire Might Be Shot If They Were Here, Says Moy Ham. While hoping that Yuan Shi Kal, president of the Chinese Republic, will prove the Washington of the Orient, the Celestials on the Pacific Coast are firmly resolved to oppose President Tuan's imperial aspirations by force of arms, if necessary, in the opinion of Moy Ham, local Chinese Interpreter. Moy Ham says the younger Chinese are unalterably opposed to returning to the monarchial form of government Moy Ham says he translates the American papers to the 'local Chinese, and is in close touch with Chinese t sentiment along the Pacific Coast. He says that Yuan Shi Kai is an able j statesman and popular as president. "We hope he will be like your Wash ington," said Moy Ham. "Our prayer Is that future generations of our coun trymen may call him 'Father of His Country.' All the young Chinese, the American-born, and many of the older men, oppose the return to a monarchy. China has been asleep too long. We have seen, the workings of the Ameri can government. Here every one is al most free as free as he can be We want a government like yours." Moy-Ham was bitter against certain American advisors to President Yuan for counseling him in favor of imperial ism. "They, If any, should favor a Chinese republic," he said. "I almost think those men would be shot if they ap peared on the streets of Portland." Seld Back, Sr., another influential member of the local Chinese colony, fa vors a republic, but believes that an empire could again be established in China without bloodshed. The Manchu race In China has lost its power, Seid Back says. Yuan Shi Kai is a member of the hated Manchu race, which ruled the Chinese for many years prior to the recent revolution and the estab lishment of a republic. Yuan's power, in the opinion of Seid Back, is personal, rather than racial. Seid Back believes that race feeling' in China is a dead Issue. Local Chinese say their statesmen were working for a republic years be fore their plans appeared on the sur face. The Manchu government of the country was never popular. Dr. Sun Yat Sen, China's first provisional presi dent, went so far as to move the capi tal from Fekin to Nanking, the an cient seat of government. Pekin was the seat of the Manchu rulerB. President Yuan's action In moving the capital back to Pekin was never popular. The Chinese submitted, how ever, on account of Yuan e personal popularity. 25 PEOPLES AT SHATTUCK Many Nations Are Represented lri Class es, Russian Jews Leading. - According to the principal of the Shattuck night school, there are 25 nationalities represented in the classes that have enrolled there for study Russian Jews and Jewesses form 31 per cent of the total enrollment, Italians and Germans comprise about 30 per cent and among the remainder are Nor wegians.
