Speakers at . Meetings
Urge Voters to. Register;
Suffrage Bureau Formed,
The campaign to Increase tha regis
tratlon of voters -will be carried tp
Lenta and Arlets by the public affairs
department of the Oregon Civic league.
Mra. j A. C, Nawhlll, head of the department,-
announced yesterday that
rallies were being1 arranged for both
place and that program would be giv
en similar to the program of the suc
ceasful registration roily In the audi
torium of the central library Thurs
day evening.
At the' meeting of the league In the
Multnomah hotel yesterday announce
ment was made that' a suffrage bureau
of the league had been formed, and
that it would be composed of Mrs. C.
8. Jackson, chairman:, Mrs. Solomon
Hlrach, Mra. J. A. Fouilhoux, Mlsa
Elisabeth Cadwell and Mra. A. C. New
fa II I. ,
The' first effort of this bureau will be
to stimulate the registration Of women
voter- It Is desired that failure to
register shall not prevent women from
. registering their will In election issues
rin which they have especial Interest.
It has: been suggested that another
matter to which the bureau might ad-
' dress itself Is the securing of leelsla-1
tlon that will permit a woman's citizen
ship to be independent Of her hus
! band's.
I . FOr instance, if an American-born
woman marries an alien, who has not
: 1 been,' naturalized, she loses her citizen
ship and her right to vote. It seems
pronto man'y th-a a warfV h
to vote sho.iM h hl .m,n J5h

After waiting a good while for Gov
ernor West to act on a promise to ap
point a qualified commission to de
termine by investigation if tha rna! nf
living in Oregon should be more than In
other states, the league announced the
appontmnt of Us own htrh-cost-of-

Mr. paly explained how the water
department tinder a former adminis
tration began about four years ago to
cease installing meters, but added some
200 miles of mains, hoping that by the
ver,y volume Of water the waste might
be overcome without .necessity of me

were aa many complaints last summer

to control the outlets," said the com
missioner. !
"One newspaper of this city has per.

under a system putting a premium on

Famous Reformer Will Speak
in City's Churches Today;
Talks of Life Work,
"Humanize, don't brutalize."
Three little words, but they turn
the life work philosophy of Mrs.
Maud Ballington Booth, reformer, lec
turer and ' author, wife of General
Ballington Booth,' commander of the
Volunteers of America, who arrived in
Portland last night. - -k
Accompanied by her daughter. Miss
Theodora Booth, recently graduated
from the National Park seminary of
Washington, D. C, she reached this
city from Salt Lake City- nearly two
hours late.
. The rain and the lateness proved
no bar to the enthusiastic welcome
she received from officers -of the-Vol-unteers
of .America and others Inter
ested In her work. McElroy's brass
band played a potpourri of national
airs aa she walked to the waiting
room; both Mrs. Booth and her daugh
ter carried corsage bouquets present
ed by the local Volunteers. The om
nipresent reporters and a photogra
pher swooped down upon her.
. "But I did not expect to see any
reporters," said Mrs. Booth in a de
lightful English accent. "I had hoped
to get to a hotel and make my daugh
ter give out the interviews."
Strive to Practice Knmanlty.
Miss Booth explained that she .was
serving as her mother's secretary for
the trip, and incidentally Miss Booth
has no English accent. Both, however,
expressed it a pleasure to be in Port-
land.
tI don't know what I am going to
do; here," said Mrs. Booth. "I am in
th hands of you Portland people. But
of course I am traveling in the inter?
ests of my work, my life work, prison
reform. I am trying to make better
men and women out of prisoners, to
Improve prison Conditions. In short,
I am trying to practice numanity. Hu
manity, not brutality, la needed In our
prisons.
"I am finding a great response to
my work, for the unfortunates In our
.prisons are most susceptible to uplift.
X make a practice of visiting only
state prisons, leaving the other prison
work to our local officers. I expect
to visit the prisons at Walla Walla,
at Salem and at San Quentiif. I shall
speak at Salem next Thursday." 1
Miss Booth, Mrs. Booth explained,
had Just finished school and was mak
ing this trip preparatory to entering
social service work in New Tork. Sho
also expects to take up work in the
Volunteers' hospital in that city.

Home for Working Girls, conducted
by the volunteers or America at East

will speak at the White Temple. It is
probable that she will make short ad
dresses at other churches also, though
the demands upon her for speeches are
far greater than she can possibly fill.
Tomorrow she will addiess the Com
mercial club at 12:45 p. m. In the green
room of the club. Tuesday she. will

lege, at Walla Walla, Wash., and will
visit the . state prison in that city.
Wednesday she will be the guest of
Colonel C. S. Wood, and Thursday j
she will leava for San Francisco, stop,

Mrs. Booth came to this country
from her native England in 18S7 and
has been engaged in reform and relief
work since that year, first with the
Salvation . Army and with the Volun
teers of America since its organiza
tion in 1896. She is the author of a
number of books and spends a large
portion of her time on the lecture plat
form. The proceeds or her lectures go
entirely Into the treasury of the Vol
unteers of America as her work in this
regard is purely for the love of lt.
' Mrs. Booth is responsible for the es
tablishment of prison relief work by
the Volunteers, while her husband,
General Booth, attends sblely to the
executive end of the organization. They
make their-home at Montclair, N. J.,
with their official headquarters in
New York. -
This is Mrs.' Booth's first visit to
Portland In a number of years.

GRAND JURY WOULD
PRISONERS TENc
CENTS FOR EACH DAY
ii ' IT . . - .
Recommendation Made in-Its
Final-Report; City Jail' Is
Commended.
L
Pay at tb rat of 10 cents a day
for v prisoners while Incarcerated was
recommended In the 1 final report of
the grand Jury returned yesterday aft
ernoon to Circuit Judge Kavanaugh.
The grand jury cited the instance of
a man who was released recently aft
er serving a 80 day vagrancy sentence
without a cent in the world. On the
second day ; the man came back on a
similar charge. The grand Jury be
lieved the man might have kept from
Jail had he bad a little money.
A recommendation that witnesses
held In Jail 'be paid their per diem at
least , once a month was also made.
It was believed that payment mada at
certain times would assist witnesses.
Ths grand Jury found that authori
ty at the county Jail and - at Kelly
Butte ia divided between-the sheriff's
office and the county commissioners,
and state that they believe the last
legislature placed them under the con
trol of the county commissioners. It
was recommended that if this be true
the commissioners assume sole . con.
trol at once to Improve conditions.
Much to commend waa found at the
new city jail and the manner of con
duct was approved. Conditions at the
county jail, Kelly Butte, and Linnton
rockpiles were also round good, though
better drainage to improve the saml-
tary conditions of Kelly Butte were
recommended, with several shower
baths, as bathing facilities are consid
ered Inadequate. The food served at
each jail and quarry waa reported to
be excellent and plenty.
Repair of a leak was the sole recom
mendation for the Baby home, no rec
ommendations were made regarding
the Frazer Detention home, as it waa
understood a new home is to be pro
vided. Conditions were praised at the
Multnomah farm, and lt was suggested
that the work on new quartera for
the hospital be hurried, as the present
quarters are Inadequate.
The grand Jury reported that 92 true
bills had been returned, 68 not true
bills were reported, and two cases un
der consideration were referred to the
incoming grand Jury. Witnesses ex
amined by the grand jury, numbered
684. The grand jury was the first
