PASTOR TO FIND

Frank Brown, 11 Years of

11 yeara of age. was the object and
(he recipient of much abuse from
his father which he resented In his
childish way, waa the motive for
leaving home r a bout month ago
from Dee, Or., and going to Port
land.
Frank Brown ran away from a
motherless home for his mother died
two weeks after his birth, and from
his father a month ago to avoid un
called-for beatings and went to
Portland where he sold papers for a
time to earn money for his suste
nance, and sold wooden boxes 'to
spectators on the curb during parades
at the Sbrlnera conclave. . In this
manner he waa able to have some
thing to eat and to purchase some
necessary clothes, for be frankly
says. "I only had a pair or overalls,
a ehirt. a cap and an id pair of
shoes when 1 left home. 1 did not
have any stockings or a coat."
Last aummer he spent aevera
weeks near Salem working and he
left Portland last Friday and walked
in the direction of this city. He says
that he walked most of tbe way.

lem and the party that gave him the
ride reported hkm to the authorities.
lie was taken into custody by tbe lo
cal police authorities Monday night
"I didn't do anything to get into
Jail." be told, tbe police the next
morning. No crime la charged
against him. The authorities turned
hkm over to tbe Juvenile court be
cause he had no home, motherless
and an irresponsible father. Tbe Ju
venile court has only two alternative
either to send the innocent young
ster to tbe state industrial school, or
Parole him to some private-Institution.
It ia to be deprecated that our social
lire la aocb tha no home is available
for unfortunate youngsters like 11-year-old
Frank ltrown.
To send him to the leform school
and to force upon him the association
with boys of delinquent and evil car
eers la to smother the spark of man
hood within bis breast, for he knowg
in bia own precocious mind that he
has committed no crime. Whatever
that waa good within him would
wither under the Influence of fur
ther association with adverse char
acters. Incidents, like Frank Drown,
that come to the public eye la an elo
quent reminder of tbe need for Insti
tutions that will care and provide for
caes of similar nature.
Frank Rrown Is only 11 years of
age, but be has the mind of a Iff-
year-old boy. He U a precocious. lad,
bright and loquacious. His manner
'. frank, has nothing to conceal and
I able to relate coherently his past
experiences. He admitted that be
has had very little "schooling." be
cause, he says. "I had to go to work."
He also stated that his father had
very little Intereat In bis education.
In bis training and In providing pro
per clothes.
If the old adage, "slovenly nature
has slovenly clothes" will serve as
an indicator of young Frank Brown's
character, ooe does not need to fear
that he will soon go wrong.
The Juvenile court paroled tha
homeless lad to (he Rev. Horace N
Aldrich. pastor of Ieslle Metbodl't
church on South Commercial atreet.
Judge W. M. Bnsbey, knowing the
fact that Rev. Aldrich. Is interested
In young men and boys, he request
ed him to find a home for young
Brown. The lad will be at his home
until proper disposition of tbe eae
can be effected.
When approaching Rev. Aldrich,
the lad spoke of his clothes In this
manner.
"Too bad that I have no clean
clothe; I'm awful dirty, ain't I?
The Rev. II. N. Aldrich took the
lad to tbe Y. M. C. A. where he re
ceived a good shower bath and
plunge in tbe swimming pool. The
boy saya that he is willing to work
for anybody providing be Is" treated

Shipping Interests Not
Alarmed by Jap Threat
WASHINGTON. Julr fi. Charr
Ing that Japanese shipping Interests
were fomenting a propaganda
against the recently enacted htercb
ant marine act, senator Jones, wno
framed the measure, declared today
that Pacific coast ports would not
suffer in case embargoes were placed
against them by either Japanese or
British shipping companies. The
shipping board has given assurances
he said, that American ships will
Immediately be allocated In sufflc
lent number to rtplace foreign ships
which are withdrawn and "to Insure
uninterrupted movement" of Orien
tal exports and Im ports.
In- a statement. Senator Jones
held that It Would be to the advan
tage of American ports to have Am
erican ships Ihandle ibelr trade. A
foreign ship, he added, spends little
in American ports except agency fees
and amountf for stevedoring and
water. If foreign ships again are
permitted toj . handle the bulk of
America's export and Import trade,
he declared, shipyards will be forced
to close Lwn, as only American
chips' as a rule are repaired In this
country. ; j
"The threats of foreign carriers
to withdraw their ships have berti
noted." Senator Jones stated, "but
they wlil not be permitted to divert
business from ports through which
It now moves. There is full author
ity In the transportation act of 1910
to absolutely control all Import and
export shipments In trans-Pacific
trades so that the interstate com

effective an absolute embargo which
would prevent diversion of such car
