DISGUSTED
GERMANS
Had Band Not Been Forgotten
' ; Dancing - Excursion Would
Have Been Greater Succeess
War between Ireland and Germany
has beeo locally declared.
The caaus-belU grew out of a moon
- light excursion given last night by Uie
f Catholic Forester or Aioina.
The steamer Grahmona left Taylor
.street dock at J p. m., with 278 passen-
sera. tb majority of whom boasted
origin In the emerald isle. The minor
Ity bad a large sprinkling of sons of the
fatherland. - A Joyous time was antlct-
pated. . Three hours were to be spent
ort the river dancing.
As the boat pulled out from the dock
Irish and German swore allegiance to
one another. In case Of war between
Germany and England the Irish pledged
, themselves to fight in behalf of the
Germ&n cause. Ail went well until St.
. Johns was reached. The dancers were
growing impatient iand word was finally
given "on with the dance."
No musician appeared. A - careful
,, search of the steamer disclosed that
there was none on board. "We will go
back to Portland and get some musl
.. clans," -declared - the committee in
. charge of the excursion. When the boat
returned to Taylor street dock a dels
gation was sent up town to negotiate
, with the German street band. It re
turned unsuccessful.
"I go get mooslc, volunteered a
. German excursionist. A taxicab was
' railed and this German passenger was
cent for tha "mooslc." About half an
hour later ha returned with a big pack
ago of sheet music, it was then war
waa declared. The former alliance was
called off amidst Indiscriminate dis
cussion. A search for a musician re
sulted in the rounding up of a man with
a big tasa drum. The excursion - waa
resumed with tbe drummer playing Irish
tunes. . v , ,' . ,
Some of the Germans resented the
Irish tunes, but were not strong enough
to make cpen protest; Thejr -were up
against it and bad to stand for it," said
one of the) committee.
- - At midnight the Grahoma deposited a
-load of excursionists ' surfeited with
Irish music, but happy;" ; .s
"Seriously speaking,' said tbe com
mittee, "fra regret exceedingly that
these waa a dlsappolnment about tha
music, but It was on of thosa unavoid
able things that often arise, V. hope
that our people will not hold it against
us." i
threshed out at the public hearing, how
ever, and the flat eight hour day may
be- considered t . that time.
Thomas D. Honeyman of the Horiey
man Hardware company, representing
the public, was chairman at the confer
ence,' and Amedee M. Smith represented
the welfare commission, Mrs. Henry
Russell Talbot and Miss K. L. Trevltt
were present on behalf of the public,
'Because the notice of publio hearing

Is probable that the next meeting will

the case, marked the announcement of

Nine ballots were taken. ,
The Jury agreed from the beginning
that Diggs had transported Martha
Warrington and Lola Norris, tha two
girls involved, from Sacramento to Reno
for -immoral purposes, and that he bad
bought the tickets for tbe trio.
On the last two counts, those charg
ing persuasion and enticement, there
was disagreement . ; ' ...
And for' F. Drew Caminettl, whose
trial on. a similar indictment la set for

pade, had been coerced. : ; - ' ; ;
Only five were convinced that Marsha
Warrington. -:' Diggs' ' companion, had
been persuaded to go against her will.
Lola Norris convicted Maury Dlggs-
That is the concensus of opinion to
day by tboss who followed the testi
mony. ,
Caminettl seemed more worried than
his companion Diggs when the Jury ren
dered its pronouncement
His white face and drawn Hps belled
his subsequent statement that "he was
not afraid.".

Although Diggs attorneys announced
that they . Would carry the case to tbe
appellate court on a motion for arrest

S"an Francisco, Aug. 21. "I think the
whole thing has been rotten ana in

This was the opening sentence or
Maury I. Diggs statement on his trial
on charges of violation or me Aiann
white slavs act ; - -
"Shyster pontics," he continued, "has
entered into this trial. I have not been
given a square deal. My wife, my child
and myself, as : well as the two girls
involved, have had to suffer because
some of the federal officials have been
looking for a soft place to light
most certainly am not -guilty of
white slavery. The Mann act has not
only ruined me and my family, but also
Miss Warrington and Miss Norris anJ
their people. It has wrought a great
injustice. I have had no chance for a
fair trial.
, . . Couldn't TsU All.
"I . couldn't say anything , about tha
girls.- I didn't even tell my attorneys
about all the things that happened. Be
cause, if a man does tell, he is. a dog;
and if he doesnt he must curtail his
defense.
"The whole thing is rotten. Former
District Attorney McNab is a dirty caj
and has made many misstatements about
the evidence he gathered."
,"I am "not frightened or disoouraged
at the outcome of tbe Dlggs case," said
F. Drew Caminettl, his companion in
the -Reno escapade wblob led to their
arrest, following the conviction of Dlggs.
"Diggs was convicted for purchasing
tha UCKet for the party. They can
not bring that against me, so I don't
see how they can get me at all.
:' Caminettl Xs Believed.
"It was the persuasion and enticement
alleged in the indictment that I thought
was the most serious charge; that waa
what I feared all the time.
"I don't think It looks bad for me at
it" - o
Caminettl'a drawn face, however, bo
iled his expressed confidence.
Despite the fact that his wife has ap
peared at the Dlggs trial and took the
stand in behalf of her husband, there
has been no. real reconciliation. The
two have not exchanged a word in tho
courtroom, and Mrs. Caminettl has
avoided her husband's eyes at all times.

teacher, drowned In
(Special to The Journil
Monmouth, Or., Aug. 21. The many
friends of Miss Mlnnette K. Harlan and
Miss Blanche Fridd are deeply grieved
to learn of their death by the sinking
of the steamer State of California last
Sunday morning, in Gambler bay,
Alaska. One of the bodies found has
been Identified as that of Miss Fridd.
For the past two years Misses Fridd
and Harlan have len teaching at tbe
Stale Normal school, where Miss Har
lan was at the head of the muslo de
partment and Miss Fridd was at the
head of the Latin and English depart
ments. Miss Mabel West, who was a close
personal friend of Miss Fridd before
they came to Oregon, has gone to Seat
tle to convey the body of Miss Fridd
to her home In Valley City. N. D.
Every effort will b'e made to locate
the body of Miss Harlan also. Miss
Mrs,' Baldwin Protests Against
Mendicants Employing Such
Means for Sympathy,
Mrs. Lola Baldwin, superintendent
municipal bureau for protection of wo
men, has written a letter to Mayor Al
be, protesting against the practice of
permitting children ana girls to accom
pany blind or crippled persons and
street musicians on their- trips about
the city, soliciting public alma.
"Local authorities should see to it
that our home children be kept from
coming in- contact with this vocation,"
declared Mrs. Baldwin, "Portland and
Multpomah county are amply able to
take care of any of such children who
are in needy circumstances. Carrying
the investigation further, we should
make it Impossible for this class of itin
erant mendicants to bring minors along
with them, subjecting them to the dan
gers that abound in our. city streets."
The letter follows:
"I wish to call your attention to the
matter of children and girls appearing
on the streets with persons who are
crippled or blind or with street musi
cians. We have noticed an Increase in
the number of this class within tbe
past six months.
'There can be no doubt but that the
effect of street work upon children and
girls is most pernicious. It Is practi
cally begging, and while I have the
kindliest feeling toward tftese unfortu
nates and would do nothing which
would work a hardship upon thorn, I be
lieve that we should have an ordinance
prohibiting all children and young wo
men under 21 years of age from appear.
Ing on the street in this way. These
people are very largely floaters, going
from city to city, and do not belong to
this community. We ought to take care
of those who belong to this city in some
way so that it 'is 'not necessary for them
to earn a livelihood on the street and
those who come in from other communi
ties ought to be kept off the street"

FIREMEN'S BAND NEEDS
MORE MONEY FOR TRIP
While hundreds of people took ad
vantage of the opportunity to hear the
Portland fire department band play at
Council Crest last evening, which la
their last appearance before leaving .for
New York, the proceeds from tho even
ing were not sufficient to make up the
deficit that exists in tbo fund and ths
members of tho band are facing the
proposition of having to pay a portion
of their expenses out of their own pock
ets. The council yesterday voted to pay the
salaries of the firemen who are going
up to the twentieth of the month in
order that they might have "pin money"
for the trip.

' ence being Mr. Old maintained that
not only ths establishments employing
women should close but that all should
Close,'.. y.,::,L:,.,.i..v..J,.
"I am in favor of the o'clock Sat
urday closing hour," said Mr. Olds, "so
anon so that our store tried, it consci
entiously for six years, but we found
V that the great , buying public does not
favor It Saturday night shopping Is
a long established custom from which
purchasers do not seem willing to break
- away.- . : . - ,, .,-:.- ..
,"If the present 'recommendation be
comes a law the grocery stores, ex
clusive men's furnishing houses and
similar establishments will be enabled
to absorb tho business, that we have
been building up for the past 40 years.
If some stores aro forced to close at
I o'clock on Saturday nights all stores
should be required to do so.v.!..,:-iv.i;-;.s'.(-,
Saxly Closing favored.
"T am in. favor of early closln g, but I
believ it unfair that only certain es
tablishments, those employing women,
should be affected by such a law, Work
until 9 O'clock on Saturday nights will
not seriously affect tho health or happi
ness of women employes If working con
ditions are satisfactory."
Mr. Roberts, on tho Other hand, main
tained that the habit of Saturday night
is a habit that the buying public will
forget ones It is given to understand
that the law does not sanction it.
"Wneq the stores stayed open until
U:30 Saturday nights there waa the
same rush that there Is now . at 9
oclock. It is a bad habit the store
vpeople have formed and the. buying
public, too.i The work can be done In
eight hours-ewlly enough and it would
.. b- donvt. ..',' i:-
Night work. It Is generally admitted,
is decidedly lnlurloua tn thk k..nh
wo-nen employes." I
Miss Helen Dlnneen, Mrs. J. W. Mack
y and Miss Gladys Rogers, represent
ing the employes at the conference, all
agreed that the o'clock closing f ea-I
ture is no more than fair to womenJ
workers, and that the buying public I
might easily be educated
such' a condition, i.
Any Othsr Wight Better.
Mrs. Mack ey aueeestnd fhot if th.r.
must be a late working night that It
be Monday or Tuesday, rather than Sat
urday, the last day of the working week,
when the employes are tired at best. ,
Miss Oara Bouthwick, secretary of
the Massachusetts Consumers' league,
who was, present at the conference, ex
plained that In Boston and other Massa-1
chuaetts cities few of the stores stay
. open later than 5:30 in the evening1, that
- there is no late hour Saturday night or
during Christmas week. The general '
hours In tho east, she said, are from'
n 8.30 to 8:80, though she explained that!
not all. tti stores give a full hour fori
' lunch. j
Mr. Roberts was the only member of
v the conference who voted against the
'eight hour and 20 minute day. He held
;:....out fot eight hours flat, and 48 hours
, a week, he having, in the conduct of his
business, as well as in the welfare con-
v ferences, maintained this attitude.
Early Shopping Not Popular.
I, N. Llpman of the LIpnian. Wolfe &
Co. store expressed the opinion that H '
:, would be better for all concerned if
shopping were "done In the morning but
i" he explained that buyers generally' will
. ' not shop early.
William F. Woodward of the Wood
ard; Clarke company, representing the
employes, moved that -the conference
.. recommend sn eight hour day, 4g hour
week,, for women employes. Miss Dln
neen, representative of employes, think
Ing to make the recommendation con
form with tho hours of labor for minor
sTirl workers, as fixed by. the welfare
commission, moved to amend for the
eight hour and 10 minute day, and th
' amended motion carried. It was ex
plained at the industrial welfare; com
mission Office thjs morning that had the
eight hour flat One been recommended
It would merely have had the effect of
also reducing the minor girl work, day,
