":' exclusion of women from attend-i
snceet the Juvenile delinquency trials
now betnr heard before Judge Henry
McGinn will be considered from the
;iga standpoint at. a mass meeting
Of Portland women to be held tomor
row, afternoon at the Central library.
V At J:30 o'clock a committee appoint
ed at a similar Indignation meeting
held last Saturday will report on its
findings. This committee Is eom-
' posed of Mrs. Thomas Hawesf Mrs.
-M..U-T. Hidden and Miss Hallle
Thomas.
i At 3 o'clock Deputy District Attor
ney John A. Colllr has promised to
jspeak on the legal angles of the sub
ject. Judge McOlnri himself has also
been Invited to address the women,
but It Is poMStble the hearing of a
elvtl case will prevent his accepting.
5 According to Mrs. Josephine fL
.Sharp, who Is to preslds at the meet
ing, the legal phans of the cases In
.Question go far beyond the exclusion
' of spectators and of women corupan
' Ions for the girl on the stand, and x
i tend to the basic faults In the law
'which should be corrected, so as to
i jput men and women on the same foot
ling In the courts.
Besolutloa SUtes FoslUoa,
1 "When a man and a woman are ar
, rested together." said Mrs. Sharp this
-morning, "the woman Is held as a Wit
i ness" against the man. She gives her
! testimony unwillingly, but she is treat-
ed as If she volunteered It. This should
wj corrected.
! The contention of the women who
rWnirl the meeting Is expressed in a
t maniutlon handed to Judge McGinn
t 'hortiv after his decision not to permit
! n ea'cort other than the girl's mother
1 i rfmuin in court with the witness. It
" t We, the undersigned, oeuere n is
t right and proper that all witnesses In
i the Arfllanes chh be excluded from
1 court, together with all Idle spectators,
1 lMit we respectfully protest against the
1 ruling to exclude the proper and offi
i clal custodians of the young girl wlt
; ness, thereby leavlna- her entirely alone
! In '. circuit court room without the ad
i vantage and moral support of women s
t- presence. .
I Would it be fair to try a man with a
i'full Jnry of women, with four women
itc
transcript of tho testimony covering
5 pages shows. j
v rwe feel that the " girl should be
permitted to have some prope escort
in lb room with her and. believe that
tbere is no violation of propriety In
having women officials who have her
In charge and who act as hen guard
ians let-the tlMe being-, with her.
"This is the woman's side fof the
case and does not consider tn Jkegal
side which is to be considered, at to
morrow's meeting.'-. ' .

S Question of Slg-ht Is Seised.
' The question in which the , women
of Portland are Interested is not re
garding the exclusion of spectators
from the court room," said Mrs. Bald
, -win thls-mornlng, "as Judge McGinn
I frankly asserted he knew he was vio
lating the constitution and the su
preme court decision. But the question
is: Did Judge McGinn do right in re-fusing
to allow the proper custodians
of the girl to accompany her?
, ,' "This is the sole question at Issue
and the oublio of Portland should un
derstand this. Personally X don't think
anybody has the slightest desire to
listen to testimony of the sort that la
being given In these cases. I have
been In this line of work for 10 years
and I have yet to reel mat anyone
would willingly go to hear such evi
dence. ' ,-But a little girl, 14 years old, hys-
. . tertcal and sick, should be permitted
'the escort of those officials at least
- under whose care she is blaced.
" -K'.The mother is not a fit companion
'"for the girl In that she understands
little Kngllsh, Is highly hysterical and
'.is stunned by surprise to find that the
lamb of her flock had deceived her.
The, fact that tsls girl had been carry
tThe fact that this girl had been carry--tWo
of whom were married has
. .been an awful shock to her. She
thought all the time that when the
child was away nights she was stay-
l ing with a girl friend.
''. Olrl Xs HysterloaV
' I "i "At the first trial the mother. Dr.
. Van Waters and myself sat witb the
- rirl, but the court was ordered cleared.
i Kach of us personally appealed to
Judge McGinn to be allowed to re-
. main, dui n refused to consider our
T pleas.
' "The girl is in no state to be left
.alone in a courtroom full of men. Sjhe
It wr nervous and hysterical and
feven before the Jury was drawn loat
: nef seir control and bad to be taken to
the judge's chambers. The girt was
sick for four days before the case
could be tried.
"When Dr. Van Waters and I were
compelled to leave the room she pleaded
ptteously for us to remain. One day
-she fainted and went into hysterics U
( such an extent that she could be heard
on the other side of the building. She
has. been under a great strain as the
lOalted Pre Lm4 Wire.) I
Seattle. Wash.. Nov. 18. Without
naming a meeting place for next year.
tne League of Northwest Municipali
ties, which has been In sesison here
since Tuesday, stands adjourned to
day. : i
C. M. Fasset. commissioner of feublic
utilities of Spokane, was elected .pres
ident of the league for the ewulng
year. Other officers chosen were:
Professor J. F. Russell, Whitman
college, secretary; Judge D. W. S.tand-
rod, Boise, Idaho, treasurer; Judge
Thomas Burke, Seattle, R. W. Mont
agile, Portland, and Miles' C. Moore,
Walla Walla, members of the execu
tive committee. I
That tbere Is greater warrant for
public ownership of grocery stores
than light and power plants because
groceries are necessities whereas eleo
trie 'light is not. was asserted by
Charles B. Warner, consulting engineer
Of Portland before the Tuesday ses
sion of the league of Northwest Muni
cipalities, in theory, said the speak
er, there is no excuse for anything
but public ownership, but in practice
It is found, that plants under public
ownership prove less efficient,, less
economical and ' give poorer service
than those under private ownership,
notwithstanding that the municipally
owned utility is not in any sense sub
jected to tne regulation mat tne pri
vately owned utility Is. I
After discussing municipal and pri
vate ownership of ytilities from many
angles, Mr. Warner concluded; with
this assertion: ?
"For the present I am convinced
that the public good will be I best
served, the greatest development of
our resources achieved and the 'reat
est gooa to tne greatest numoer real
ized by public ownership of public re
sources and private development of
those resources under public regula
tlon in terms that will protect the pub
lie and encourage private enterprise.
Inthls way the government serves its
function of protection and to private
enterprise Is left those things which
always have and always will develop
to the highest degree through private
enterprise.
MEETING L THANK

One Mill Tax Tor Erection, of
First Unit-of School Will
Be Asked.
DIRECTORS ARE INVITED
Congested Condition Zxirt ta South

Desired to Kavs Hollered.
A meeting under the Joint auspices
of tbe Parent-Teacher associations' of
the eight schools of the southeast side
whose graduates attend Franklin high
school will be held Tuesday evening at
the Creston school, Powell Valley road
and East Forty-eighth street, to thank
the school board, for .starting the
Franklin high school and to ask the
inclusion in this year's budget of 1
mill for the erection of the first unit
of the Franklin high school-building.
The schools interested are Creston,
Hoffman, Clinton Kelly, Richmond,
Woodstock, Woodmere, Lents and Ar-ieta.
The. new Franklin high school is al
ready well organised under Principal
S. F. Ball, but Is housed in the over
crowded Creston school building. The
commercial department is located in
the old South Mount Tabor school
building. It Is understood that the
February graduating classes of the
eight tributary grammar schools will
force Franklin high school to house
more overflow students in the Glencoe
school.
Those interested in the movement
declare -that - the June graduating
classes of the tributary schools will
further complicate the problem and
that the matter of overcrowding school
facilities on the entire southeast side
can be solved by the erection of the
first Franklin high unit, which could
be in operation in September.
Already Sas Site.
"The working people of the south
east side submitted to a three mill tax
levy last year for two new single
grammar schools, Shattuck and Couch,'
declared one of those interested in the
Franklin high building; movement this
morning, "and we expect no opposition
to our claim for one mill for a high
school building for eight districts.
The school board has already acquired
a 15 acre site for-the purpose.
"The Hawthorn school- people are
asking that a site be purchased for a
new Hawthorne school. This we an
prove of, but that site will not relieve
the situation. The Hawthorne Parent
Teacher association at its last meeting
passed a resolution, with 150 signa
tures, endorsing our demand for a new
Franklin high unit and ' asked us to
send a representative to their meeting
at the east side library tomorrow
nignt. witn our new unit, we can
take care of the second term Wash
ington high students who belong to
Franklin high but are now crowding
the Hawthorne building'
The entire school board has been in
i vited to attend the meeting . Tuesday
evening and Superintendent I .
Alderman and J. J. Johnson will de
liver addresses. The glee club and or
chestra of tbe Franklin ' high school.
directed by Professor Frederick m.
Chapman,-, music supervisor of the
schools, will make their nrst puouc
appearance.
The first Latin exhibition to oe
riven upon the Pacific coast, modeled
on the Sabin Latin and German -exhibition
of the University of Chicago,
wil be a feature,.- Tbe exhibition, ar
ranged by Miss Jullann Roller,, bead of
the Latin and German department of
Franklin, high, will demonstrate ; the
utUltv of Latin teaching and will later

EVANGEUS

EPIGRAMATIG
DAR
TS
WITH . CERTAIN AIM
God Never, Intended a Chris
tian to Look Like Tail End
of a Hearse," Says Evans.
God never Intended a Christian to
look like the tail end of a hearse.
Being a Christian is like riding
bicycle you must go on or go off,
and that quickly. . -
Some men get so low down they
have to reach up to touch bottom.
A mule cannot kick and pull at the
same time that Is true of a church
member, too.
Epigrams of Evangelist Evans.
The evangelistic talks of J. Bruce
Evans, California evangelist, who is
conducting a series of meetings at
the White Temple in this city, are
unique for the variety and blsarreness
of their epigram.
Mr. Evans puts a punch behind
everything he says, and is drawing
large crowds because of , his forceful
exposition of divine doctrine. He leads
the music aawell as preaches, and be
lieves that every one should'sing, and
sing out.
"Any man who can sing and won't
sing, ought to be in Sing Sine," he said
last night. He also addressed himself
to the women calling out before the
chorus of one song, "1 want all the
women who have their own hair to
whistle the Chorus." It seemed as if
every woman present responded.
Last night he had for his text the
stor of the Prodigal Son, recounting
the old biblical tale with fervid in
tensity and remarkable vividness.
"A man is no more a Christian be
cause he goes to church than he would
be a horse if he went to a -stable" he
said last night. "Many a man prays in
church on .Sunday and then preys oa
his neighbor the rest of the week."

the motorman Of a car started sud

pavement, from which he suffered
such injuries that he died, is the alle
gation made in- a $7500 damage suit
filed by E. L. Dimmitt. administrator
of the dead man's estate and his
brother, against the P. R., l. & P. Co.
E. E. Ware, convicted of a charge of
usury, was fined $500 by Circuit Judge
McGinn this morning .and was given
until xnursaay to rile a motion for
appeal , and bonds. Ware is manager
of the State Security i company - of
which J. Wiesen, of Milwaukee. Wis.,
Is head. Attorney G. E. Hamaker. rep
resenting Ware, said that the law
under which Ware was convicted
would be tested in both state and .na
tional supreme courts if necessary
Two other indictments against Ware
wege dismissed.
. ware was charged "With lending
money at more than 10 per cent in
terest per annum without having
license to do so. The charge was made
under the 1913 statute providing for li
censing or money-lenders who are per
mltted when licensed ta charge three
per cent interest a month in certain
cases. The charge is a misdemeanor
and carries a -county jail sentence as
well as a fine as penalty. Ware wits
arrested several months ago and sev
eral others on charges under the same
statute., The others pleaded guilty
and were given nominal fines but
Ware elected to fight the law. The
others have either complied with tbe
law or are out of business. Ware was
refused a license because he asked that
It be made out in the name of Wiesen
and as Wiesen Is a mon-resident of the
state he could, not comply with the
provisions of the law.
"I am impressed that the law is
good iaw," saia uuage McGinn in sen
tencingr Ware. "You seem to have
made up your mind to fight it and
you have that privilege but I do not
feel that you should be let Off with
nominal punishment."

Landslide Blocks Traffic.
Traffic on the O-W. R. & N.'s main
line Just east Of Portland .was blocked
for four hours' Wednesday by a land
slide at Taylors, a small station near
Troutdale. The slide extended for 50
feet and averaged about 10 feet deen.
No damage was done to the rails or
ties, but it was not until 11:30
m. tnat the earth, rocks and trees
were cleared away. Halns had loos
