SACREDSDiJGS
BY BOYS
BARRED
Young Roney Singers Can
not Appear Here in Con
cert Because of Law Ef
forts Being Made to Ar
range It Nevertheless.
'" Is a sacred concert workT
Will the child labor laws of Oregon
, prevent the appearance In Portland and
throughout the state Of Henry B. Roney
and his boys, who are booked here for
December 14 under the auspices of, the
' T. M. C. A T
Thse - Questions ars agitating the
minds of Secretary Btone of the T. M.
e x. Mr Roney himself, numerous
' mission, the ministers in ,ort!a1n1dh"2
- the commercial organisations who have
been requested to assist In aor way
, Mr Honey has a national wtaUon
s a trainer of boy voices. He first
-brought out Blatchford Kavanagh, who
was known -as the. "Original Roney
". But Oregon's child labor laws . have
' slso won a reputation. It em. And
'Mr. Koney has written to WenOn in
'Portland to see If he can put on his
k concert here which had been arranged
as one of the bills of ,the Y. M. C. A.
lecture course for this season.
, ; Bat is Work?
Mr. Roney's seven or eight boys are
: singers of the highest order. He says
iihe are being trained and educated
'and there Is no reason why he. shouldn t
appear here unless It is the law. Noth
in but high class music and singing is
given at the Roney boys concerts.
5; But Is this work? . . ,
, The law says that no child under 18
-"years of age shall be n.J,oy?2.ai.?y
- work before the hour of f in hi morn-
Ing or after the hour of 6 at night. Mr.
i.' Roney's boys are from 11 to 14 years of
t aeTh question has been under eonsid
' eratlon by the child labor commission
; several days. Mrs. Millie R. Trum
'bull. of the commission, said this morn
ing thst Mr. Roney would be notified
not to eorae to Oregon. ,.,.a.
V In the meanwhile Mr. Roney's friends
j and others Interested In the matter have
! been doing everything In their pow-r
to straighten out the quest Jon In a way
t that would make It all right for the
boys to appear.
i - Child Actors JTOt Allowed.
. ' It will be remembered that the child
labor law war responsible for the oan
tJStatlon of the dates In Portland of
I the Lilliputian Opera company, which
had been booked by George L. Baker
' for the Baker theatre.
John Loan. Mr. Baker's attorney,
xwho has gone Into the subject thor-
- bughly, looking up references and de
t clslons on the question, says that If the
Roney boys appeared he would do noth-
lng to put a stone in their path. His
' contention is that the law Is a farce
'that Its original purpose was to keep
I children off the streets and to prevent
, begging and other abuses which might
i be brought about.
"The child labor law is a fine specl-
- man of freak legislation," Mr. Logan
'5 said this morning. "It was enacted at
' the request of a lot of long haired men
and short haired women who had hopes
A. of lobs on the commission In view."
' The Rt Rev. Charles Scadding of the
J Episcopal church has been appealed to
" by those Interested. Bishop Scadding
said he could do nothing. He said he
-; would like very much to have the Roney
6 boys appear here, and that the concert
t puvtsn vy imrui j . . v' 1 . . . .. . . . .. .
. of great purpose, and should be heard I
; Dy au ooys wno mitjui. nn uyui -
tunltr. -
rut the law well. Bishop Scadding
said that was a different thing.
Trying to Dodge Law.
Other ministers and prominent cltt
sens and those Interested in the move
ment have also been called upon, all
In an effort to see If In some way the
child labor law couldn't be "got
. around" for the benefit of Mr. Roney
and his boys.
Lawyers have even been appealed to.
They can't see their way clear to evade
the law and are hoping against hope
that something It Is not known Just
what may come up which would put
. a new light on the subject.
" . : Officials of the various commercial
organisations have been requested to
take a hand In the affair and to see If
they could not In some way prevail upon
those of the law to make the high-class
bovs concert possible.
The opinion of all Is to the same ef
fect that It Is exceedingly unfortunate
If the- law will be allowed to interfere
in one of the,, .finest sacred concerts of
'. the', year.

Every real boy will
naturally lead the way
to a man's store.
Of course he wants
clothes from the same
store that supplies his
father and- big brother.
We take special care

EX-COP FAILS TO WAIT POLITELY
TO BE ONCE MORE ARRESTED
How aid C K Jodon, an ex-pollce
officer, charged with disorderly con
duct, escape the police yesterday morn
ing? Thla Is the question that is rins
ing In the ears of Patrolman Sherwood,
who arrested Jodon and who allowed
him to escape at the police court yes
terday morning. Sherwood la now try
ing to make explanations to the chief
and to the court officials.
Jodon was charged with assaulting
his wife with a dangerous weapon, but
Mrs. Jodon refused to prosecute and
the case was dismissed for lack of suf
ficient evidence.
Discouraged at this outcome of the
case. Sherwood filed a charge of dis
orderly conduct against Jodon that he
might be tried again and convicted.
Portland Mr. Roney has dates In Pen
dleton, The Dalles. McMlnnville and
several other Oreaon towns.
But the decision of the labor com-i
mission to notify Mr. Roney to stay
away from Oregon does not end the ef
forts of those Interested by any means,
It seems.
Everyone is anxious to have the
choir boys appear In Portland. But
the law says, "no." And the fight
goes merily on.
But will the Roney boys show? And,
Is a sacredconcert work?

Ijirch 2,000 Years Old.
From the Scotsman.
Italy can boast of a larch tree the age
of which Is estimated to he J, 000 years.
It Is situated on the northern flank of
Mont Chetif, in the direction of the
huts of Plan Veni above Courmayeur. a
few Steps from the footpath that skirts
the limit of the meadow land.
Due allowance being made for the ex
treme slowness with which the larch
frown, for the altitude above sa level
1,650 meters) at which It Is rooted,
and for its northerly exposure In the
near neighborhood of the glacier, where
the cycle of Its development Is barely
five months every year, this venerable
larch, untouched alike- by woodman's
Sx and thunderbolt csnnot be less than
2,000 years old.

Sherwood had already .collected evi
dence In the case of assault but the
wife's testimony was lacking.
At the dismissal of the assault case,
Sherwood escorted Jodon from the
courtroom into another room where he
Intended to hold him until he had
sworn to the charge of disorderly' con
duet. However. It Is said that Attor
ney Palmer, a police court lawyer, rep
resenting Jodon, told his client the- po
lice had no lawful right to detain
him.
Jodon took to his heels and when
Sherwood woke up his prisoner had
escaped. Action will be taken against
Jodon, provided the police succeed in
capturing him and it was rumored this
morning that a charge of contemDt of
court would be brought against Palmer.
