THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, MONDAY EVENING, DECEMBER , 18, iviZ. PORTLAND COMMONS POUNNG YuLETIDE SALVATION Air WILL HAPPINESS P Christmas Boxes, Christmas Dinners, Clothing and Ne cessities to Be Provided. ' The Pacific Coast Rescue and Protec '. tlve association is one of the organiza i tions with which The Journal is cooper ating In the appeal for Christmas help to be devoted to relieving need. This association Includes the Fortland Com motio Loube home, Albei tina Kerr . Nursery home, the Commons Prison ". league, "id others. Rev. V. G. Mac ,. Laren, superintendent of the associa tion, has asked for a total in contribu tions of 1300, and in a statement today he showed how the money would be . spent, and promised that a strict ac counting would be given. His statement follows: "Following the annual custom, the Pacific Coast Kescue and Protective society, better known by the name of , . one of the branches of its work the ; Portland Commons Is planning to ex tend a little Yuletlde cheer to many ' poor, unfortunate, needy but deserving men, women and children. Boats for Needy Poor. "It is hoped to give 800 Christmas boxes, valued at 75 cents each, to those . who, through force of circumstances, find themselves confined in state and ' county institutions at this season. Many of them arQ there through no fault of their own, and many more simply be cause they knew no better. This being the only time of the year when they are permitted to receive gifts from the outside, surely at this Christmas time, when hearts are filled with thoughts of giving, many will respond to our appeal. "We are expecting to have 1000 home less men to dinner on Christmas day. Some are only boys, attracted by the 'glorious west' and the 'dollars that grow on trees," only to be sadly disap pointed In their brigTit hopes; not be cause they themselves are unwilling to fight the battle and plod steadily on ward to the goal of their ambitions, and are willing and anxious to find honest, steady work, but because they have been misled and find conditions so very different, and have lost heart and find ' themselves penniless. Jobless, homeless and well nigh friendless. "Many, too, are old" men, with fami lies temporarily left behind while they - go from place to place seeking a chance to earn an honest livelihood to send for the family later. Their Christmas Is of necessity a lonely one and cheerless, and many are the temptations which beset men of this class. "Another class we hope to be able to nelp are the abandoned mothers, wives and children, cripples and unfor tunates, the product of broken up homes. To 150 such people we aim to ; distribute wood, coal, groceries, boots an 3 shoes, etc., and we hope to be able ' to have them meet together at the Commons hall, where a real Christmas dinner, consisting of turkey, chicken, cranberries, soup, celery, fruit, bread and butter, etc., followed by English pluin pudding and nuts, will be served. Moving pictures of the life of Christ will be shown and a splendid musical program will be given. The public will be asked to donate the use of their automobiles to gather up the guests and later return them to their, homes. Publlo Urged to Help. "To carry out these plans a fund of 11300 is required, and the public is earnestly requested to consider whether this is not as fitting a way of celebrat ing the birthday of the Savior of the world as could be found, and urged to contribute as liberally as possible. We have only received to date the sum of 1241.55, whereas in former years con tributions came in very much more readily. . "Subscriptions may be paid at The Journal or at the office of the P. C. R. Sc P. 8. on the corner of Front and ' Burnslde, or at the Northwestern Na tional bank. Simply state that the con tribution Is for the Christmas fund of the Portland Commons. Make checks payable to W. Q. MacLaren." DISTRIBUTE NOD HAVE CHRISTMAS TREE Poor Families to Number o 300 Will Be Given Help Children to Be Entertained rinners for 300 needy families. mammoth Christmas tree with gifts and entertainment are planned by the Salvation Army as its Christmas pro gram. The Salvation Army's work included in the appeal for Christmas help of the needy by The Journal. An announcement of the Salvation Army's Christmas plan, made today, reads: hollowing its annual- custom the tsal vatlon Army proposes the day before Christmas to distribute from its relief headquarters baskets providing dinners for 300 needy poor families, containing "sufficient food for a family of five The Investigation will be made by let ter through the principals of the pub lic schools and our investigators, each family will receive a ticket which will entitle them to a basket on presents tion of the same at Its relief headquar ters, 227 Ankeny street, corner of Second street, the 24th Instant, at p. in. The baskets will contain chicken and meat, rolled oats, tea, coffee, sugar, butter, potatoes, bread, canned goods. fruit, etc., the value of each basket of provisions being about 12.60. Our In vestigation up to the present discloses the fact that there is a greater demand for assistance from poor families this year than last year. "We are also arranging a mammoth Christmas tree and entertainment to the poor children of the city, Christ mas night at 8 o'clock, when each child will receive a present, bag of candy nuts. fYuit, etc. The building at the corner of Second and Stark streets, for merly the United Railways ticket office, has been kindly loaned to us for tha occasion by the Failing estate. Music will be furnished by the Salvation Army massed bands of the city. Tickets for the entertainment can be obtained at the Salvation Army relief headquar ters." CHRISTMAS STOCKING FOR UNFORTUNATES FILLED FROM FUND (Continued From Page One.) FOOTPADS FRACTURE THE SKULLS OF FOUR San Francisco, Dec. 15. Joseph Bow man and Thomas Murphy, their skulls fractured by footpads, were lying in i critical condition at the Central Kiner , gency hospital here today. J. J. Ewlng and James Keiney were at the same institution, seriously though not fatal ly injured in the same way. Lawrence Slavln, a marine fireman, also a victim of highwaymen, was at the morgue. All the cases occurred Saturday or Sunday night. Many other highway rob. Series were reported in which the vic tims lost merely their valuables, or, if beaten, were not seriously hurt. t . Pullman Porter Injured. San Francisco. Dec. 15. An Investi gation was in progress at Fresno today to fix the responsibility for yesterday's crash on the Santa Ke railway at Storey betweer the northbound limited and a local, which was trying to make siding to let the limited pass. 1 Of the Injured, the only one in any 'danger was Pullman Porter Thomas; Eabcock of Los Angeles, whose skull was fractured. I thin lips blue, and spoke out shrewdly in his grating voice. A frosty rime was on his head, and on his eyebrows and his wiry chin. He carried his own low tem perature always about with liim; he Iced his office in the dog days, and didn't thaw it one degree at Christmas. "External heat and cold had little in fluence on Scrooge. No warmth could warm, nor wintry weather chill him. No wind that blew was bitterer than he. no falling snow was more intent upon its purpose, no pelting rain less open to entreaty. Dickens Described Man. "Foul weather didn't know where to have him. The heaviest rain, and snow, and hall, and sleet, could boast of the advantage over him in only one respect. TheV often "came down" handsomely and Scrooge never did." He is a type of the man out of joint with the Christmas spirit, Scrooge. Dickens told of him in the "Christmas Carol." and even such a one as he had to melt and soften and give gladly when he got a look at himself as others saw him. Others of Portland who have been told that in this city are little children to day who are crying for something to tat, mothers who lack the fbod they need that they may nourish tiny babies, families whose house guests are poverty and sickness, men out of work urged desperately on its quest by knowledge of the hunger of those dependent on them thOBe who know of theo things and do not respond may not be Scrooges, they may be only thoughtless. But Ten Says Bcmain. But they have yet time to be thought ful. Ten days remain until Christmas Ten days remain to gain the conscious ness of making the wish, "Merry Christ mas come true to the sad and forlorn. Watch the calendar.

I'lailically all the counties In Ore gon will have made provision for the services of field agents in agricultural education before the end of the year, according to 1'lrector Ralph D. Hetzel, of the v tension division of Oregon Agricultural college. The arrangement for agricultural ed ucation Is ninde under the terms of the bill passed by the last legislature, which provides state aid of counties making appropriations for this kind of work. In a letter written in answer to the question as to what plan wus being made for the help of newcomers on the agricultural lands of Oregon, Director Hetzel sa.ys: "From every indication, practically all of the counties in the state will have made provision for the county n tn new regiment with a better plan of extension organ ization or better baaio legislation than we have in this state. Some of them have been at it for a, longer time, and consequently 1 have a more experienced staff, more money and more equipment, but as fox opportunity to effectively minister to- the needs of their states, I mean the opportunity to do a great and good service, I would not change with any." VOLUNTEER BILL- WILL BE PUSHED IN SENATE TO REINFORCE ARMY (Continued From Page One.) field agents within the next two weeks Bulletins to Be Issued. It looks now as though at least in or 12' would be In line before the first of January, 1914. in the second place, we have a staff of specialists, who will devote all of their time to Itinerant school work and Institute serv ice. This will mean for the present year 10 or 12 itinerant schools of one week's duration and an unlimited num ber of one to three day institutes throughout the state. - "V here emigrants become settlers, either as individual families or colonies, hey will have the benefit of the serv ices of the county agent, where such agenta are inBUHed, and they will have the benefit of the advice of our central staff, as it carries on Its work through the institutes and itinerant schools. "In addition to this, we will issue sreat numbers of simple, clear bulle- Ins, some of which are now coming from the press, and. if necessary, we will have some of these translated into the language of foreign immigrants who may coma here in sufficient num bers. Eastern Methods Studied. "I recently returned from a month's rip In th east, where I Investigated the exIfiiKion Service of a number of institutions and conferred with ths de partment at Washington. I have re- urncd to Oregon with the feeling that there is no other' state in the Union Such a measure always has been con sldered necessary, but nothing haa been done heretofore during this congress and it is presumed that the acute situa tion in Mexico speeded Its passage. On account of the lack of such leg islation. President Lincoln was com pelled to violate the constitution in 1861, when he assumed and exercised the war powers of congress by increasing the regular army -and calling; out a volun teer force. General Emory Vpton. one of the greatest authorities on military affairs, said of Lincoln's act that "no usurpation could be more complete, but that nothing else could be done because congress had provided no other alterna tive." While the hew volunteer bill has the approval of army officers, it will not afford opportunities for service for many Four regular army officers to each regiment is all that would be allowed, so that all the field officers would not be regular army officers, there being a colonel, lieuten ant colonel and three majors to each regiment, and the regiments of volun teers are to be organised on the same basis as the regular regiments. The important feature of the new bill Is that In raising additional troops in case of war the president would appoint the officers, and the new troops would be under United States authority and subject to be sent into foreign lands If desirable. It is expected that these regiments could be officered from among those who have had experience in the National Guard, in military in stitutions, and who have acquired suffi cient training to handle troops. If pro vision shall be made for an adequate reserve, the new regiments could be recruited from it and would help to make an army of trained men. Although the new bill provides for organizing troops of all branches of the service, it is expected that the volun teers would be confined almost wholly to the infantry, as that arm is very de ficient In numbers in comparison to the others, and it is the infantry that is most needed in actual war.

DYING GIRL PRAYS FOR PENMAN KILLED SHAW NEW CHANC E AT LIE Florence Schenk'Asks' Doctors and Nurses to Help Her Recover, - (Special to Tut Journal.) New Tork, Deo. 15. Nearlng the gates of death. Miss Florence Schenck, who eloped seven years ago with Charles Henry Wilson, manager of the stables of .Alfred G.
