WAS DBTJOGED ABB ABUSED,
Lying at death's door and deserted by
her friends. Lulu Phillips, 17 years of
age, was found in a reom In a lodging
house on the corner of Fourth and Wash
ington streets several days ago by De
tective Hawley. The officer at once se
cured medical aid and m nurse for the
girl, and Mrs. Haynes, proprietor of the
lodging house, ; gave her food and at
tention. This morning the girl was
removed to the county hospital. ' :
For a week the Phillips girl has been
awaiting some friend, or relative to come
and take cae of her, A week ago she
secured the room, stating tnat she was
slightly ill and just wanted to rest a
few days. For 48 hours she lay with
out food or drink, no one knowing how
ill she was. Mrs. Haynes finally called
and found the girl in a dangerous con
dition. She immediately called a phy
sician .
"The case is one of the most pitiful
that has ever come to my notice," said
Detective Hawley this morning. "Two
years ego the girl, who is now only
about 17 year old, was as pretty and
handsome as any little girl in Portland,
but she fell in with bad men which
led to her downfall. . This is the story
she told , me. . :. v.. ..
"About two years ago she .said she
became acquainted with two young men
in Portland .who induced her to lead a
life of shame. She ;. was drugged, so
she told me, and sent to Salem, where
she was taken off the train and carried
In a cab to a low resort of that city.
"Ashamed to return to her former
friends, the girl drifted from one dance
hall to another, but was not able to
stand the rough life. She went to Idaho,
where a sister is said to be living,
-but; returned to Portland a fortnight
ago. Her sister, Ethel, has caused the
officers plenty of trouble. She was taken
out of a north end dive about 18 months
ago and sent, to the Boys and Girls'
Aid society, where she escaped and fled
to Idaho." .-V v;"";
Dr. Geary said that he was of the
opinion that the girl had quick consump
tion.' ; ' ' .;.v
Detective ' Hawley spent the greater
part of last -night in looking for the
girl's mother, but was unable to find
her. The officer said that the .charges
made by the girl against the men whom
she claimed dragged her will be looked
into at once. ,

Rev. J. Wblteomb Brougher at the
.First Baptist church last night, deliv
ered a .sermon touching on civic matters
and administration In Portland and ' in
which direct but not discourteous refer
ence was made to Mayor Williams. The
sermon was . entitled "The Mayor of
Sodom." He said In part: ; , v
"Sodom is the synonym for corruption
and lawlessness. The burning question
of the hour in our' country is whether
law or anarchy shall be supreme. . Law-'
lessness Is in the -air. It extends from
the boy who gambles on the street cor
ners with his pennies to the millionaire
stock broker who ; gambles on a ficti
tious market It extends from the low
est dives and saloons, that Ignore . the
laws of both God and man to the
government official Who is willing to
wink at the transactions of the law for a
bribe. . .. The lawlessness of , respectable
people and all individuals in authority is
a greater source of danger to our coun
try than all the anarchy to be found in
all the old countries of the world. -
Y: lawlessness Increases, '
"When-the penalty of the law is not
strictly enforced the people soon grow
bold in their wickedness and the spirit
of lawlessness rapidly - increases. The
police department Is organised and
courts are established that law with its
penalties may be enforced. In spite of
this there are hundreds of statutes upon
our law books that are never executed.
To have a law and wilfully break it is
worse for the morality of the people
than no law at all. It has come to pass,
however, In this age of political corrup
tion that many laws are enacted aa a
sort of sop to Christians and then those
who do not like such laws are permit
ted to break them with impunity.
"The result is that we are raising. a
generation of lawless boys and girls who
have no respect for law. If the chief
executive of our city will' acquiesce in
thedctlon of our city council to pesmlt
labreaklng for .a money consideration,
whatare we to expeot from the thor
oughly lawless -element of our cltyT
What are we to expect from our boys
and girls who see our laws thus Ignored
or only partially respected?
Before to Kayo Williams.
The mayor of Portland I understand
was elected upon a reform ticket and
was expected to enforce the laws. He
says ' it cannot be done. He ought to
resign then or acknowledge he has gone
back on the people who elected him. I
believe the laws Can be enforced and
ought to be so long as they remain upon
the books. If the majority of the peo
ple do not want such laws then let them
be changed, but as long as a law la a
part of our government it should be en
forced. I am well aware, however, that
public sentiment has much to do with
this question. The people usually get
as good government as they deserve.
Whenever the morally upright people
will combine and insist that the laws
must -be enforced or those in office be
impeached and put out, it will not take
very long to. establish respect for law
in our city. : It Is an Impossible thing to
please everybody. A man whether - he
be In the pulpit or In the mayor's chair
should seek to do his conscientious duty
and please his God irrespective of what
others may think.' '." vu
"Frequently, however, good men will
be caught hesitating between right and
wrong and because- of diverse influences
do that which will take from them much
of the honor that they might have had
if they had done the right irrespective
of the consequences. I think the mayor
of Portland probably has as hard a tlmo
in maintaining his position as the mayor
of Sodom had. A man must make his
choice. He may gain some things but
not others; he cannot have both. When
we come to study the character of Lot,
who sat at the gate of Sodom, and was
probably a judge or mayor, we will find
something in hla life that may serve
to warn ua We are surrounded by the
same things in Portland that met Lot
down in Sodom. The same old sins are
here, the same temptations and the same
old conditions. . . . -
What tot Gained and XMrt.
"When Lot moved to Sodom there
were three things he had gained; riches,
honor and political position, and he also
gained fame for himself and fashionable
society for his children. He exchanged
the society of Abraham and the country
boobies for the society of the godless
four hundred la Sodom. While he gained
these things he lost a number of other
things. He lost the presence of. God,
for while God appeared to Abraham
many times afterwards he never
granted even, a vision' of his presenoe
to Lot
"In the next place he lost real power
with his fellowmen. He was supposed
to be a worshiper of God. After liv
ing In Sodom 20 years he did not have
influence enough to win 10 people to
righteousness. His course In Sodom led
the godless crowd to scoff at his religion
and lose respect for his character.
"He lost his power over his family.
When the destruction came upon Sodom
he did not have enough Influence with
his children to persuade them to leave
the wicked city to save their Uvea.
They simply laughed at him. He lost
hla property. He had put money before
manhood and now his property went up
In smoka Character is worth more than
money and man cannot afford to lose the
respect of his godless fellowmen and
the presence and power of God in his
life, by compromising with sin or a law
less element Better be right than be
mayor of a city. Better do your duty
fearlessly before God and never be
elected to an office than to gain all these
things and lose influence for righteous
ness and a good name to be loved by
posterity.
. "What shall it profit a man to gain
the whole world and lose his lifer

Job printing interests representing
nearly $1,000,000 in capital have been
in session in this city for the, past two
days in an effort to regulate prices for
Job work In Montana, Oregon, Washing
ton, California and British Columbia. -
That the meeting la likely to be a
success is shown by the large amount
of money represented by those favoring
the project, and by the fact that prac
tically every large Job , printing estab
lishment in Seattle, : Spokane, : Tacoma
and Portland has been represented at
tne . conferences. Among tne master
printers present are Albert Howe, of the
Pioneer Bindery & Printing Company,
Tacoma; Joseph Borden, of the Shaw
Borden - Company, - Spokane; G. C cor-
bally, of the Inland Printing Company,
Spokane; two representatives ' from the
Seattle offices, and : representatives of
the big Portland establishments V
For the most part the conferences have
been in the Hotel Portland. It was at
the hotel that meeting was held yes
terday afternoon and another . today
prior to the departure of most of the
out-of-town attendants for their homes.
It waa said that an agreement was vir
tually reached yesterday. - j : i ;
One of those in attendance at the meet
ings said today that the prime object
of the conference was to protect the
Individual Job shops against under bid
ding on county work, and to protect
themselves against country printers
who have taken county work and sub
let It to the big firms In the cities. The
method, according to this representative,
has been for the country printer or the
county officials to write to a city Job
office for prices on county printing.
Later the county or small shop calling
for the bid would write that another
firm, probably in another city, would do
the work for less and asking that a
second bid be sent in. By this meth
od,, it is asserted country work wag of
ten done at ridiculous prices. It was
in order to stop this practice that the
meeting Just held waa called. .
While admitting that the meetlns? was '
in the naturo of forming a northwestern
printing trust. It waa denied emphati
cally that exorbitant prices are to be
charged. It is claimed that the meeting
will merely result In enforcing a fair
profit on all out-of-town work done
by any . firm In the combine. Those
entering into the agreement bind them
selves to maintain a schedule.
In view of this belief that country
job offices are almost without exception
unaoie to ao the work required in print
ing county records and many kinds of
stationery used in county offices, the
combine feels sure that its members
will get the lion's Bhare of all county
work. The work of the counties in the
Northwestern states is worth many
mousanas or aoiiars each year, worth
many times what it was a few years

there."

MEN OF ABERDEEN
SHOW GOOD GRIT
Edward Bowman, telephone man of
the Portland fire department, recently
returned from a short vacation visit to
Aberdeen, Wash. He speaks In most
glowing terms of the Washington city.
"The people of Aberdeen are as plucky
a lot as can be found on the Paclflo
coast" said Bowman, "They have set
to work to build up that part of the
city which was destroyed by fire last
fall and within a few weeks Aberdeen
will present aa good a front as any olty
of its size in the northwest
"After the fire, several months ago,
the city council established a fire limit
and nqw the buildings, that are being
erected in the destroyed are of brick
and stone. The work on them Is being
pushed, as many merchants there are
In need of good store buildings. Dwell
ing' houses for rent are very scarce
empty ones being few and far between.
"While I was In Aberdeen the first
car was run over the new electrlo road
between that city and Hoqulam. I had
the pleasure of riding on the first car
that made the trip, and felt proud when
I saw th car had been made In Portland.
It was a gala day In Aberdeen when
the line was opened." v
