Public chaperons, selected by social

tee appointed by Judge W. N. Catena
- of- the Juvenile court.
Judge Gatens appointed the com
.. mittee to see if there is any relation
- - between a qertaln clat of delinquents
and commercialized dance halls.
' The committee's work has since
'broadened to include a query if public
dance balls are sufficiently regulated,
, and It municipal dancing places would
' be. popular enough to put the commer
, tialized dance halls out of business,
' without a mandate from the city
; council,
. Aa a meeting yesterday it was ques
tioned if the professional "introducers"
, at the eommerclaled dance balls act to
any extent as. chaperons.
, Avoid Sensationalism,
- "Then came the suggestion that chap
ron responsible to the social service
- leagues or Jthe municipality would have
-necessary restraining influence.
Rev. Frederic K. Howard of the Epis
. copal Social Service league, and chair
man of the committee, advised that
"-facts be obtained to learn what other
cities are doing in respect to dancing
and dance halls. A committee to de-
vise further ways, and means will oe
' chosen from the membership of the
library and school boards, women's and
' social service organizations, and will
. ; Include Commissioner W. L. Brewster
of the city council. Juvenile court
Officers and police will not be inelud
' ed in this committee. Rev. Mr. Howard
- saying it is important to keep the com
mittee's work free of sensationalism.
""It is not police work we are doing,
but ' constructive effort in behalf of
the wholesome pleasure and recrea-
;.. tlon of our young people," he explained.
' Rather than submit dogmatic conclu
sions before thorough investigation is
made, he asked the following ques-
' tiono.
Questions Proposed.
"Are commercialized dance halls suf
ficiently regulated?
J "Should they be abolished?
"If so, will the municipal dances
--.nil the requirements?
, "Is It feasible to conduct municipal
" dance i while commercialized dances
are allowed 7"
v When investigation has been com
pleted, when what other cities are do
.'. ; lng has been learned, and when def
lmte recommendations and plans have
. been formulated, the whole matter, in
response to invitation by the mayor,
will be submitted to the city council.
; The entire trend of discussion yes
. terday was toward this point that
' dancing is an important feature of
the recreation of young people, and
that regulation should be more of a
social than a police service.

Caplan Denies He-
Is Times Dynamiter
Van Arrested . XT ear Pert Orchard,
Wash., Held ; on Pnglttre Warrant;

Port Orchard, Wash., Feb. 20. On
the request of Los Angeles authorities,
a fugitive warrant has been issued
here against David Caplan, arrested at
arrested ai
Rolling Bay, near this place, Thursday
night for alleged complicity in the
dynamiting of the Los Angeles Times.
The arresting officers say C plan is
the last of the McNamara gang.
The prisoner admits his identity,
but conies that he participated in the
Times dynamiting or that he knew the
McNamaras or any other of the labor
leaders. Dast Saturday the Burns de
tectives arrested Mathew Schmidt, al
leged to be Caplan's accomplice, at
Sixty-sixth street and Broadway, New
York.
The Burns men claim that Caplan
had heard of the arrest of Schmidt
and had made preparations to go to
Alaska.
Caplan has retained a Seattle law
firm to defend him. It is not known
whether he will fight extradition to
California.
Mathew A. Schmidt is believed to
have been the MathewA. Schmidt em
ployed about five years ago on a
farm on, rural route No. 2, leading
out of Gresharh. The Mathew A.
Schmidt who worked on the farm near
Oresham was about 30 years old when
he drew his wages and disappeared
about two weeks before the Los An
geles explosion. Ho had professed
Ignorance of how to use giant powder
in clearing land, but his employer is
said to have found explosives In an
unlocked trunk belonging to Schmidt
While employed at the farm, Schmidt
was considered steady and Industrious
but unsociable. Judging from the
publications mailed to him regularly,
he was thought to be a radical Social
ist and was believed to have been in
correspondence with persons after
wards mentioned in connection with
the explosion.
Extensive Thefts of
Chickens Suspected
Deputies Arrest Two Man on Charge
of Stealing One la Alleged to Have
Confessed,
Over 2000 chickens are believed by
deputy sheriffs to have been stolen by
William Coen and Edward M. Tobin,
arrested through the efforts of Depu
ties Christofferson, Phillips, Beckman
and Ward on charges of larceny.
They, were apprehended on a charge
of stealing 50 blooded chickens from
L. M. Alston, who resides on the Base
Line road about eight miles east of
the city, and who values the chickens
taken at 75. Forty-two blooded chick
ens were also stolen from John Ruhlln,
who lives three miles south of Gresh
am. The deputies arrested Coen at the
home of his grandparents, Fiftieth ave
nue and Ninetieth street, Lents. Coen,
the authorities say, confessed, Impli
cating Tobin.
Tobin was located on a farm near
Boring.
The men cut the throats of chickens
as they took them, according to the
deputies, and their operations were
known from that method. The chick
ens were cleaned at a cache In the
hills near Lents, and were sold to
Portland dealers, the deputies say. The
men are said to have stolen chickem,
in all parts of the country east and
touth of the city, as far away as
Boring. ' ,
Visions of Bold
Burglars Vanish
Alarm Sounds From the Treasurer's
Vaults In City Hall and Police Sur
round the Building.
Visions of burglars looting the city
treasury sent the police scurrying to
the city hall last night after the alarm
on the treasure vault of the city treas
urer's office had sounded in the police
station. It took them less than three
minutes to leave the police station and
surround the city hall with men after
the alarm first sounded.
Instead of a burglary or men busily
engaged in removing the funds of the
city the police found only City Treas
urer Adams waiting for them. A test
of the alarm system had not been had
in months, and Mr. Adams had decided
that one should be made. Without a
word to anyone, he had gone to the
city hall shortly after 9 o'clock and
moved around in the vicinity of the
vault.
The alarm system Is so, arranged
that any slight movement in the vicin
ity of the vault sounds the alarm in
the police station and the fire depart
ment. Captain Inskeep and his men,
who answered the alarm, have been
complimented by City Treasurer Adams
for their promptness.

mission Order Will Have
Little Effect on Portland;
ftnIt-4 Priw Lenaed Wire.
Washington, Feb. 20. Proposed can
cellation of proportional rates on car
loads and less than carload lots of ag
ricultural implements from San Fran-
Cisco, Stockton and other California
points to Portland, Spokaneand other
Washington points was held Justified
by the interstate commerce commis
sion today. The carload rate will be
raised from 1 cents to 27 cents per
hundred pqunds. The rate for less
than carload lots will be -raised from
26 to 30 cents per hundred pounds,
and Ue carload minimum weight rate
will be raised from 20,000 to 24,000
pounds.
The order of the interstate commerce
commission upholds tariffs put Into ef
fect some time ago which had been sus
pended on petltionof shippers. Under
the old rates Stockton, Marysvllle and
other California cities had been receiv
ing the same rate as water line points.
Inasmuch as the element of water com
petition did not exist between these
cities not on tidewater and interior
points in Washington, Montana and
nothwestern states the railroads asked
to fix new rates to adjust inequalities.
The new rates will have little effect
on the Portland implement business,
according to H. W. Mitchell, general
manager of Mitchell, Lewis & Staver
company, because there is little move
ment of these commodities between
Portland and California points.
"Almost the only Implement com
modity shipped into Portland from
California cities is the combined har
vester." said Mr. Mitchell this morn
ing, the raw material for construc
tion of which is sent to California from
Oregon and then the completed product
i3 shipped back. This Is rather anomo
lous condition, which the Increased
rate may eliminate, influencing manu
facturers to build combined harvesters
at - the points where they get their
raw material.
"As it is all the material is shipped
to California and two-thirds of the
finished product is sent back, while the
other third is sold in California. The
other way around would mean that
cne-third would be sent to California
and two-thirds kept In the general ter
ritory in which they are to be sold."
Saw Log Rate Reduced.
Washington, Feb. 20. The interstate
commerce commission today held that
the rate of 9 cents per 100 pounds on
sawlogs from points on the Pacific &
Idaho railroad in Idaho to Boise was
unreasonable and ordered a rate not
exceeding 7 cents.

lLockwood Is Urged
For School Director
nominating Petition Oat 1 o Insur
ance Van as Suecessor to r. X. A,
Bosuns.
Believing that he Is eminently fit
ted for the position of school director,
friends of Samuel P. Lockwood, well
known Portland insurance man. have
' prevailed upon him to announce his
j candidacy to succeed Dr. E. A. Som-
mer, whose term expires In June. A
nominating petition bearing several
hundred names, is already in circula
tion. Mr. Lockwood has been a resident
of Portland for the past 25 years and
has been engaged ,ln the insurance
"business all thia time. For 18 years
he represented an eastern com Dan v
and for the past seven years has been
general manager and vice president
of the Columbia life, a Portland com
pany.
Mr. Lockwood is 44 years old and
a native of Chicago, in the public
schools of which he reefelved his edu
cation.
Friends of Mr. Lockwood point to
his belief in the publio school because
of the fact that of his four children
one has graduated from a local high
school, two are now in school and the
fourth will be sent as soon as he
reaches school age.
Mr. Lockwood says he believes that
neither politics nor religion should
enter Into school affairs and that
economy and efficiency should be the
only test.
He states he Is thoroughly in aa
cord with the recommendations of the
school survey, believes that the su
perintendent of schools should be given
large authority and that through him
the heads of the several schools and
departments should be given reason
able latitude to conduct their depart
ments and get credit for the merit
they are able to show all subject to
review by the board.

wiped .from the seas by belligerent na
tions.
The admitted real danger lies in the
fact that the United States may be
come involved In the arguments being
hurled back and forth by Germany and
England. It was also pointed out that
serious trouble Is possible as a. result
of America's insistence in maintaining
its dignity and right. It was con
tended, however, that America will be
continually embarrassed unless it now
takes a firm and calm position.
Both Germany and England, it was
pointed out, are attributing their ad
mitted violations of lnternalonal law
to each other's alleged over acts, but
this does not affect Americas rights
"If the government," said an official
here today, "permits such contentions
to alter her stand, she ultimately
might be ruled off the seas. I
"For this reason J believe America
should not answer the English and
German notes."
He held that the English note was
not answerable because England was
within her rights in flying the Amer
lean flag on her ships as a precaution
ary measure. He claimed the Germans
by destroying American commerce
.would .be exceeding their rights and
believed that a further reply to Ger
many would either commit the United
States to a weakened position or a vir
tual threat of war.
The same authority also argued that
America should not be too epeciflo in
Its intention to hold Germany to
"strict accountability." Some circum
stances, he pointed out. might warrant
stronger retaliation than others.
Hence, he declared, the United States
should merely maintain the position
assumed in its original decisions.
Germans Admit Reverses.
Berlin, by wireless to London, Feb.
26. French successes north of Perthes
were admitted by the war office In an
official statement this afternoon. It
was stated that the French, after at
tacking along 'the entire line in that
vicinity, had been able to break through
the advanced German trenches at cer
tain points. The fighting was very
violent. It is declared that the enemy
was repulsed at some points but that
the battle still rages at others. Lossea
on both bides have been heavy. - v
An attack by the French north of
Verdun has been repulsed.
In the Vosges the Germans, stormed
a position two kilometers in- length on
the heights west of Sulzern and an
other at Reichackerkopf. Fighting on
the heights, north of Muelbach con
tinues without material advantage to
either side. After severe fighting tho
Germans cccupied Metzerland and

Dr. Randplph Gives
Last of Studies
Vancouver, Wash., Feb. 20. The fol
lowing is the closing comparative
study, in part, on physiology, as de
livered by Rev. W. T. Randolph, at the
First Methodist church last evening,
comparing Christian Science with the
Bible:
"Mrs. Eddy defines the laws of na
ture as the laws of spirit, ruling the
body out of court, and says the so
called laws of health are simply laws
of mortal belief, that truth (God)
makes no laws to regulate sickness,
sin and death, for these are unknown
to truth. "Did not our Lordi. tell us
that he numbers the hairs, of our
heads? Did not God tell Paul that
his grace was sufficient In the case
of the thorn In the flesh? If so, the"n
he must have known about) Paul's
physical troubles.
"Mrs. Eddy defines evil ae a negation,
because it is the absence of truth; it
Is nothing . because it is the! absence
of something?: What does IGod say
about it in his book? More than 700
times this word used to; describe,
the sinful state, and we all recall how
often Jesus used the word in such
phrases as: "Deliver us from evil," "If
thine eye be evil,' etc.
"Mrs. Eddy defines sin as an un
conscious error In the beginning. How
does. the Bible regard it? As an awful
reality. It is too deep seated to be
Ignored. It is spoken of in the book
of God, which book Mrs. Eddy appeals
to for the system, over 700 times. Let
us cite some of these Instances: 'All
have sinned'; 'Remember not, O Lord,
the sins of my youth': Depart from
me, Peter says, for I am a sinful man,
O Lord'; 'Ye shall die In your sins';
'Behold the lamb of God, that taketh
away the sin of the world' ; 1 have
sinned,' say Adam, Cain, Koran. Abram,
Saul, Solomon and Isaiah; and 'God be
merciful to me, a sinner."
;The speaker went on to show how
man in his free moral agency could
impair each 'of these phases or parts
of the image and how, finally. It
would resemble the description given
