OWING GROUND
PRACTICE SCORED
Protest against the practice ; of
other states of dumping their insane
and moral perverts Into Oregon was
voiced at the opening session of the
Social Workers' association . this
morning by Robert E. 'Lee Steiner,
superintendent of the Oregon state
hospital. Steiner was commenting
on the release from custody In New
York of Miltorr Schwartz, pervert,
who had been attacking young girls,
on condition that he come to Ore
gon lie urged a law to prevent
such conditiona I '
Dr. Steiner was discussing the general
practice of examination, commitment
and care of the mentally, deficient. Ore
gon's laws relating to examinations he
found good, but not backed by suffi
cient funds to make the observations
complete. One error of the commitment
law is that patients can be kept only 30
days, which is not long enough to es
tablish cures, especially in the case of
drug addicts.
LAW TERMED DEFICIENT
-S;Dr. " William House, alienist in dis
cussing Dr. Steiner' s suggestions, de
clared the law is deficient In that it re
quires a jail as an intermediary step
toward commitment to an asylum, ? He
"said two examiners should pass on
every case,; one to be the family phy
sic! on and the other an alienist - He
suggested that hospital attendants should
visit the home of -the patient if within
10 miles of the county seat and make
the examination without taking the pa
tient to jail. He said social workers .can
perform a notable service in creating
public sentiment in favor ; of ; these
changea i - - f ':'.;
i The general discussion following was
participated in by Miss Amelia Feary,
Mrs. Springer, Miss Martha Randall,
Miss Frances Hay, Mra J. N. Teal,
Dr. Steiner, W O. Cameron, Dr. A.
Cannon. Suggestions of interest . and
value concernmg methods of care - and
commitment Wre 'brought out in this.
OKEGOS 8UETET DISCUSSED
Dr. Chester L. Carlisle of the United
States health service, who is in Oregon
to make a survey of mental defectives,
dependents and delinquents, was the
final speaker. He said he was not so

rather in the acts - of those people and
their attitude toward society, whether
they are leaners or liftera Three

HUSKY SEES
JAPAN'S GRIP ON
' EASTERN SIBERIA
By Edwin Hnllingcr
Paris,- June 28. "As a result of
the , recent treaty forced upon the
anti-Bolshevik government of Cast
Siberia, Japan has virtually: annexed
hot only all of that country, but a
part of Trans-Baikalia." .
This is the declaration made by for
mer Russian Premier Kerensky, who Is
now , an active journalist on the staff
of a Russian newspaper published In !
Paris. , . .
; Kerensky said that he had received !
a - telegram from the president of the
Vladivostok government confirming the
terms of the pact.1 under which all the
territory from the Pacific to Irkutsk,
greater in extent than France and Ger
many combined, comes under - the con
trol of the Japanese,
BEDS' yOT I2T EVIDENCE .
Against the contention of Tokio that
Japan has acted, to protect Japanese
residents of that country from Bolshe
vism, Kerensky asserted that there is
actually not a single soviet council in
existence east; of Irkutsk. .
The Reds." he said, "exist, in East
Siberia only as - a small minority
political party. If anti-Bolshevism
was Tokio's object why did she make
war ' on the government which Itself
was blocking the advance of Moscow's
troops into Siberia? That statement
is simply a screen - to hide what is
really the - most ' important ' ' step, in
Japan's program "to. build up an im
mense Pacific empire.
"in the cases, of Korea and Shantung
you have already seen how Japan sticks,
once she has gained ' a foothold. I
wonder if Americans realize that Jap
anese garrisons now hold all the prin
cipal cities of East Siberia and some
cities of Trans-Baikalia, that her, mili
tary; commanders dictate to the . local
authorities, who are practically nothing
but underlings. '
This treaty has given the Japanese
control of the railways to Irkutsk, the
ports, the maritime provinces, super
vision of the Siberian army and other
factors by which . they can control the
situation. :. -; ' ' ' '
"Siberians are 'forbidden to maintain
troops in towns occupied; by Japanese
troops, and all Siberian soldiers else
where are subject to orders from Tokio.
SIBEKIAK FORCES CHAINED
"Siberian forces must not-be moved
without permission of the Japanese
military author! tiea"
Kerensky emphasized that - the Reds
in Fast Siberia are of & different type
from those, of Western Russia. They
frankly advocate Bolshevism as a po
litical theory, bttfTdo not urge violence.
The present East Siberian government
is ' a democratic coalition, which both
the anti-Bolshevikl and the Reds are
supporting against a foreign conqueror.
Vladivostok, he concludes, 1 is hope
lessly outmatched In this game of mili
tary diplomacy.

with delegates from all over the country
and that men prominent in public af
fairs believe as he does that McAdoo
would not refuse the nomination if
tendered. '-
There are more delegates here friendly
to McAdoo than to any other presidential
possibility and it is a very general
belief that if he were an avowed candi
date the baUotlng would open with
McAdoo's name far in the lead. Even
with the air of uncertainty and doubt
that surrounds the question of whether
he would accept, there are those who
believe he will receive 200 votes or
more on the first ballot if his name
is nresented to the convention.
The following have been named as
Oregon alternates. John Manning, Port

McNaught, Portland 5 Judge Crews,

The discussion of the Purdy proposal
for the delegation to support the Bryan
dry plank disclosed that the delegation
favors no mention of the wet and dry
Issue, but that it will support a dry
plank if the wets force the-fighting.
The Washington delegation, which is
quartered at the Hotel Clift, has been
in the city since Friday. It will support
McAdoo on the first ballot if his name
is proposed. They feel under-obligations
to vote for McAdoo because ' a poll of
delegates at their state convention
showed that two-thirds of them favored
McAdoo. "
In this delegation, however, are a
number of Cox men. and how long they
will stand for McAdoo is conjecture.
They are officered as follows: Richard
