The record for one month was 11D working pirls who applied -for-accommodations, lor whom there was no room. , t The BlFsoFierTsriui lnsiiiuiion mat Is elf sustaining where girls who work Ret room and board and wholesome . Furrqundingg without rigid discipline at ns low a price as is consistent with the -ost of operation. . There' Is room for but 63 and the waiting list is so long that the Women's union has decided to balance demand, with accommodation nd build new home. In this new home there will be pro vision 'for 200 young women. It will he constructed on the quarter' block at Tenth and Montgomery streets. The building will bo all fireproof and .the cost is estimated at $150,000. "Not a charity but philanthropy; not sectarian, but for all; not discipline, but atmosphere," are some of tin ex pressions used to describe the purpose of the home by Mrs. Elliott Corbett chairman of the finance committee of the Women's Union, that has assumed the task of raising $100,000 ,of tho $150,000 by popular subscription. At meeting, of the official board of the Women's Union tomorrow after noon a plan for raising the fund will be adopted. : W1U Be Self SMtainlBtf. " Th pledgeta thfl"lubllo1s "that-the liome when built will be self sustain ing, that construction cost shall not be more than 1a needed for safe, plain, romfortable, fireproof quarters, that very dollar- contributed shall be ex1 rended to its full efficiency, and that the working girls shall not be made discontented with - their lot by being given a standard of life they cannot sustain in after life as home makers or in continuing their career aa workers. The. rules of the new home will be in large measure continued as at present. Thi s, that the girls shall pay for board and room each $3 to $5 a week. For this amount is included washing not to exceed 13 pieces a week. , . About the girls are placed no Irksome rulea and restrictions. Working- girls are considered ; to be resourceful and properly independent Wholesome en vironment is Intended to contribute to womanliness and self respect. Usefulness- la expected to furnish discipline. There are educational classes in Eng lish and history, millinery and sewing, and domestic science for those who de Hire. - There Ms an excellent library, the books in which from, time o time jhave been donated. .. . , , . f ; . ' Many Conveniences. In the new home it is intended that the room of each of the 200 girls to he accommodated shall ,be at least 8 by 18 feet The building will the six stories high, of concrete construction. In the Btlon hall. - On the first floor will be the hall, office, dining room, two re ception rooms and thjj library. Here tho girls will receive their callers. On each floor is to be a sitting room. 1 . It is recognized that the need of a home for working girls built out of the public purse arises from the economic condition that makes wage? small and living costs great. At the same time it is not denied that the earning capacity of many of the girls is small when they first come to the city, and for that rea son, with its present limitations of space, no girl has been given acommo datlon at the present home, who was more than 25 yeawuold or who earned more than $13 a week. The Women's Union was organized 1n 1386 through the efforts of Mrs. Rosa F. Burrell, aided by Mrs. Ladd and Mrs. Fittock. It has been always self sus taining, always so good a home for the girl away from home, and the. cost al ways within her small means, so that it has become wel known and popular. Bo greatly has its capacity been out grown that there are always several ap plications for every vacated room. When it is suggested that the Y. W. C. A... and other institutions make the girls' home unnecessary it is answered a!d Mrs. Corbett yeterday, by stating the fact, that the Y. W. C. A. does not attempt to ledge any girl more than two seeking a remanent boardinjilace. All that can be cared for are directed by the T. W. C. A. to the girls' home. $100,000 to Be Secured. The Women's union bought the quar ter block at Tenth and Montgomery some time ago through the efforts of Mrs. P. J. Mann and. the Misses Fall ing The cost of the .building, closely rtmted at $150,000, , will be met by $10,000 already pledged, the estimated Belling price of $40,000 for the property now used for the girls' home and the $100,000 yet to be secured. "We are going to ask the generously disposed among our Portland people to SJve us that amount," said Mrs. Cor bett, ''because we consider ' it a phil anthropy of merit. It is not a charity in any sense, nq pin who enters is ma1 to feel an object of chnrHv nnr ' does she lose" the least bit of her irxie-!a rcndencer'-'She "ravsrher "war.

Danlells, president of the gen eral conference of Seventh Day Adven tlsts, and chairman of tho foreign mis sion board, Baid yesterday morning, in a speech at Women of Woodcraft hall, that the Sabbath schools of the denomi nation contributed $136,000 to missions last year, and "t'fiat lhe "amount? will reach at least $150,000" this year He said 10 years ago the contribution from the Sabbath schools was only $20,000. He described the healing of a leper in India through prayer and faith In Christ.- This man, he said, had suffered terrible tortures from the dreaded dis ease, But for 10 years, the speaker said, he has lived In a healed colidl tion. - - - -- - No meetings were held in the .Adven tlst churches of the city today, all the ohurch members uniting In .the union, service at Women of Woodcraft hall. Elder Danielle Is also speaking this afternoon at the same place. Speaking of- missionary work, he said that the $1G0,000 to be raised this year will support 200 missionaries; that the average expense of a foreign mis sionary is $700 a year. "We have 75 missionaries In India," he said, "and they are trying to reach 800.000,000 persons. "The strongest evidence of the genu ineness of a movement is that it ful fills a prophecy of God's word. .We have thousands of men, hundreds la the ministry and doing colporteur work, living lives of self-denial, receiving in many cases meager salaries, who have no thought of laying up anything in this life, who are not engaged in specu lation, and 1t is worth our while to be sure ;our belief Is genuine.- - - if this word is genuine, and I could pite many proofs that it is, then the movement In which we are engaged is upon a firm foundation." Elder Danielle told of a soldier in the German army, who,- he said, had been kept in solitary confinement.' unit Wlls Di"erly persecuted because . he kept Saturdays the Sabbath.- But this man has now been pardoned, he said. t It has been suggested that some time next fall the Portland manufac turing and business interests arrange an excursion across the continent with New York as the goal JC.

"Portland has business mn uni uiuciurers representing a purchasing power of $100,000,000," said Mr. Chap- ... ru!iuj, ana it would be a splendid thing for the business men to take a trip across the continent on a special train. It would extend their ac quaintance to all pat ts of the states and incidentally it would mean a great deal of. publicity for Oregon. - ; "This is only an Idea that 'has sug gested itself, hut I believe it will be carried out before long."

Everett, Wash., March 2. Hansel Harrison Hicks and Ida Allen Hicks of Portland, where they have resided sine? last September, will probably have to be married for the third time as a re sult of an odd matrimonial mixup. Freed here today by the county prose cutor after their arrest on a charge cf bigamy, they await a decision of ' the supreme court on the ruling of Judge f.ioertson or Seattle, who doi-lnr-eH vni.i the Alaska divorce secured by Hicks from his first wife, Maggie. Early in 1905 Hicks resided With his first wife, Maggie Hicks, -in Alaska. She went to Sacramento, Cal., and while she was there Hicks sued for 'divorce in Alaska, sending the summons to San Diego instead of Sacramento. He was awarded a decree of divorce by the Alaska court A few month later lie came to Everett and was married to Ida Allen and with her went to Alask.i and a few months ago camo south to Portland. - . ' - Maggie Hicka, whom he had married and from whom he had obtained a di vorce decree la Alaska last January, filed suit in the King county superior court . for divorce from htm, alleging the decree granted In Alaska was void. Hicks end Id Allen Hicks came to Everett, February 7,-the day following the hearing, and on the advice of their attorneys were remarried. On February 14, Judge Elberteon ruled that the Alaskan divorce.-decree was void and that Maggie Hicks was entitled to a decree of divorce from her husband.. This meant that tile marriaa-e of Hioks and Ida Allen Hicks here in 190S and the second marriage here last Feb ruary 7 were void. .
