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

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

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.
