State Report.
Chicago, Auk. 26. (XT. P.) Srath
ixtg denunciation of the Rockefeller
and Carnegie foundations, and the dec
laration that the lives of millions of
wage earners are subject to the dicta
tion of a relatively small number of
men, featured thje third section of the
Manly report of the industrial rela
tions commission, made public here
today.
The entrance o'f the Rockefeller
foundation into the field of industrial
relations, through the creation of a
' special division, was declared to "con
stitute a menace to the national wel
fare, to which the attention, not only
of congress, but of the entire country,
should be directed."
"Backed by the $100,000,000 of the
Rockefeller foundation, this movement
has the power to influence the entire
country In the determination of its
most vital policy," the report de
clared. The Investigation Into Industrial con
ditions which is being made by the
Rockefeller foundation Is not In good
faith, it Is declared, but was originated
to promote the industrial interests of
Rockefeller.
John 3. Jr. Is a Target.
John D. Rockefeller Jr. is charged
with having planned to utilize in his
campaign literature which he knew
contained, false statements. That he
proposed to influence the public press.
Is declared . to be "clearly shown by
the employment of an experienced pub
licity expert as a member of his per
sonal staff."
Except, perhaps, for improvements
In safety and sanitation, the labor
conditions of corporation controlled in
dustries are a menace to the welfare
Of the nation," the report said. "In
order to prevent the organization of
employes for the Improvement of
working conditions, elaborate systems
of espionage are maintained by the
larger corporations which refuse to
deal with labor unions, and employes
suspected of union affiliation are dis
charged. "The domination of the men in whose
hands the final control of a large part
of American industry rests, Is not lim
ited to their employes, but Is being
rapidly extended to control of the edu
cation and "social service' of the na
tion. Foundations Are Scored.
"This control is being extended
largely through the creation of pri
vately managed funds for indefinite
purposes, hereinafter designated as
'foundations,' by the endowment of
colleges and universities, by the crea-
tlOTit3f funds for the pensioning of:
teachers, by contributions to private
charities, as well as through controll
ing or influencing the public press."
The development of control over the
teaching of professors in colleges and
universities is declared to constitute
"a serious menace."
As a remedy for the foundation evil,
congress is urged to enact a law pro
viding that all "incorporated, non
profit making bodies, whose charters
empower them to perform more than
a single specific function, and whose
funds exceed $100,000,000, shall be
compelled to secure a federal charter."
This charter, it Is urged, should
limit the funds of the foundations.
specify their powers, provide or rigid
inspection or rinance ana complete
publicity, and that no "fine of work
not specifically mentioned in the ar
ticles of incorporation shall be entered
without the unanimous consent and ap
proval of the board of trustees, or un
less congress is directly Informed of
euch intention.
Few Men Control.
"The final control of American in
dustry rests in the hands of a small
number of wealthy and powerful finan
ciers." it is stated.
Under the heading "Unions and the
Law," the report takes up in detail
the question of trades unionism dis
cussed in the first section of the
Manly statement. The enactment by
congress and the states of legislation
embodying the principles contained in
the British trades disputes act is rec
ommended. This legalizes the strike,
lockout, boycott, blacklist, bringing in
" o- strikebreakers and peaceful picket
ing, removing all restrictions upon
both sides.
Detailed plans are outlined and
urged upon congress for a permanent
national mediation commission to be
appointed by the president in disputes
. Involving interstate commerce. The
plan includes provision for perma
nent advisory councils of employes
and unionists to work with the com
mission. BOY'S FALL WAS FATAL

very injurious, as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.

'S DECREE OF
DIVORCE IS SAID TO
- BE OF NO ACCOUNT
Adeline Lawbaugh, Never
Filed Her Papers, It Is
Now Revealed,
INVESTIGATION IS BEGUN
Clerk Hennessy Declares, However,
That He Zs Sure Gatens Heard
Fart of the Evidence.
Mrs. Adeline Lawbaugh of Blue
Rock, Wash., has what is supposed to
be a perfectly drawn divorce decree,
supposed to be signed by Judge Gatens,
which Is worthless. No such case as
Adeline Lawbaugh against Edmund M.
Lawbaugh was ever filed in the circuit
court, as far as the court records kept
by County Clerk Coffey show. As the
result of the discovery, Coffey an
nounced this morning that he would
make a complete investigation to de
termine who Is at fault.
The discovery was made when Law
baugh wrote asking Coffey regarding
a divorce secured by his wife.- Search
of the records showed no such case,
but Deputy Frank Hennessy, who is
clerk of Judge Gatens' court, found
a record of the trial of a case of that
title in his record book.
The trial was held May 29, while
arguments were being made in the
trial of Albin L. Clark, who was con
victed of election fraud charges. Mrs.
Lawbaugh and Mrs. Goldle Nickells
testified, according to the trial book,
and as nearly as can be determined.
Court Reporter A. M. Butler, now dead,
took the testimony.
Mrs. Nickells was summoned to find
what she knew of the case, and she
said that Mrs. Lawbaugh paid Attor
ney Hugh Brady, who represented Mrs.
Lawbaugh, $25 for fee and $23 for ex
penses. From these amounts, as far
as can be learned, but $5 was paid out
by Brady, and that, it is believed, But
ler received for taking the testimony.
As far as can be learned, the testi
mony taken was never transcribed.
Chief Deputy Henry Bush has made
efforts to find Attorney Brady to get
an explanation, but has been unable to
locate him. He is said to be away
from the city on a vacation.
According to Hennessy, Brady came
into court during the trial of the Clark
case and said that he had forgotten
to get the papers in the case and did
not know the number. Without in
vestigation or any effort being made
to get the papers In the case, the trfal
was held and the decree was signed.
Hennessy said that he was sure Judge
Gatens heard some of the evidence, and
Hennessy's record shows that Deputy
District Attorney J. A. Collier was
present representing the state.
Hennessy said that he had learned
Mrs. Lawbaugh is coming to Portland
with her decree and such receipts as
she received from Brady, and the In
vestigation will probably await her
arrival.

WAR SUMMARY
BY J. W. T. MASON
Former European Manager of
the United Press.
New York, Aug. 26. Operations in
Gallipoli indicate the complete failure
of the first and second land offensive
movements toward subduing the Dar
danelles. They will be substituted by
a third plan which is being now de
veloped. The first military effort of the
allies to open the way toward Constan
tinople was in the form of a double
attack on Gallipoli, on the Asiatic
side. The French disembarked on the
Asiatic side and the British forces ef
fected several landings in Gallipoli.
This parallel attempt was unsuccess
ful, however. The French were driven
back into the sea. and the British were
unable to hold the shore positions.
In the second plan, the English and
French forces concentrated in the
southern tip of Gallipoli, and made
this their sole offensive point. They
instituted a forward movement along
the line occupied by the French on the
Dardanelles side, and the British on
the Aegean side, but the movement
was again a failure.
In the third plan, the attempt to
reach the narrows from the south has
been postponed, while -a 'new effort is
being made to drivo across the penin
sula from the west. This is the mean
ing of the new operations In the Suvla
bay district. The distance to be cov
ered from the south or west Is prac
tically the same from six to eight
miles. The advantage of the new of
fensive movement is that a larger
force can be employed.
For the first time the allies are now
in a position to operate with a forca
proportionate in strength to that Of the
Mohammedans.
Mexicans Fire Over
Border at Regulars
Brownsville, Texas, Aug. 26. (IT. P.)
Mexicans fired on American soldiers
from acrCss the river near Santa Maria
for two hours last night, wounding
two horses, according to reports here
today. The American troops returned
a few shots.
Th ree bands of Mexicans, numbering
about 100, crossed the river near Rio
Grande City early today. They were
pursued by soldiers and civilians.
Near Yoma a 15-year-old boy drove
off four Mexican bandits who attacked
a ranch.
were released on their own recog
nizance. To Face Charge.
James H. Marble, known about Port
land as the "Millionaire Barber," was
brought back from Cleveland, Ohio,
this morning by T. H. Maguire. clerk
Of District Attorney Evans' office, to
face a charge of obtaining $60 on a,
mortgage on furniture belonging to
his mother by pretending it to be his
property. Marble tried for a week to
secure freedom, but the extradition
was allowed. While away Maguire
visited his former home, Toledo, Ohio.
Marble gained fame as a witness in
the trials of E. E. C. Von Klein about
two years ago.
To Aid Fire Department.
The county commissioners directed
Captain H. Frese of the St. Johns ferry
to do everything in reason to aid the
Portland fire department in responding
to fires in Linnton or vicinity, with
apparatus from St. Johns. Fire Chief
Dowell complained to the board that
the boat had failed to answer a call
after leaving its slip recently, and that
as the result it was 30 minutes before
the apparatus could respond to the
call.
Says He Found Many Bottles.
Joseph W. Stimson found 95 empty
whiskey and beer bottles In his home
when returning early one morning, ac
cording to his divorce complaint filed
against Lillian H. Stimson. He charges
that she was under the influence of
liquor at the time, that the children
were uncared for, that a lamp and
piano stool were demolished, and that
a shelf In the kitchen was torn down.
G W. Leonard has sued Minnie Leon
ard for divorce, alleging cruelty.
