"I do believe all children good
If they are, only understood."
This was the message brought to
this city last night by Judge Ucn B.
LlnJsey, the eminent Colorado Juve
nile worker, arid which he Impressed
upon the large number of people who
gathered In the Methodist church to
listen to his lecture. Ho recited in
cident after incident taken from his
own experience win so-called incor
rigible children, and when ho had
fnished, there were none who heard
him but believed as he believes, that
there Is no child so lost but that it
can bo reclaimed by the application
of the proper methods.
It was this method that the speaker
dwelled upon at length, explaining it
.. .. II... v.. Vlm.Alf In '
tnorongniy as appueu uy ihmh-ii ...
his ten years of Juvenile work in the
city of Denver. He explained the old
manner of dealing with children ac
cused of some petty crime and his
narration of cases under this method
which camo under his own observation
was so horrible as to be almost beyond
belief by persons unacquainted with
the way Jurtieo Is sometimes meted
out.
Divine Instruments.
Judgo Lindscy advocated the use of ,
divine Instruments, the greatest of j
which is sympathy, In the cure of i
moral disease in children Just as sur-
gleal instruments are used to remedy ,
a physical disease." ' "And," he went j
on tii say. "because these instruments ;
sometimes fall to secure the results ;
desired Is no reason why tliey snoum
bo thrown aside. Surgical Instru
ments in the hands of a butcher will
kill quicker than cure and often in
the hands of the most skilled practi
tioner sometimes fall because of hu
man limitations. Divine instruments
like surgical Instruments must be
V used by the expert to produce results.
The rght kind of sympathy will pro
duco results but the wrong kind Is
worse than none nt nil. Weak pity
and blind compassion only breed con
tempt and ridicule."
State to Illume.
In condemning the old system of
Aonllnir wltl Incorrigible children, tho
great Juvenile worker tok occasion
to denounce the state, declaring It Is
as much responsible as any ono cle
ment for the depravity which exists
because It seeks to secure obedience
to the law not by Instilling In the
child the desire to do right for right's
akcvbut throuhg fear of the conse
quences of doing wrong. "Tho law of
the child Is the law of the human
heart," h said. "I have been told
many times by policemen that cer
tain children had not tho truth In
them, but I havo always found that
if fear Is lifted from the heart of the
child, tho truth was always there. In
all of my ten yenrs of Juvenile work,
I have never encountered a single
child that would not tell tho truth
under proper treatment. The force
qf fear is a powerful one but Is far
from being as powerful as the force
of patience, tho force of sympathy,
the force of understanding, of kind
ness and friendship. Where the lat
ter forces fall once, the force of fear
fails ten times. I do not intimate the
things I expect In the future from
tho application of these forces.
Tv Function of State.
"The state has two functions to
perform In dealing with children," he
wont on," tho function to restrain and
to redeem. It has been proved be
yond a doubt that tht latter ! within
tho power of the state and the time
is coming when It will be accepted as
a duty." Tho Judgo recited many In
cidents of boys of the underworld
whose energies, talents and genius
were marked and which needed but
to be directed into the right channels
to make their possessors useful cit
izens. For instance, ho related how
one boy caught in a scrape, revealed
a wonderful imagination in the lies
which he told in an effort to extricate
himself. This boy, ho said, under
the right guidance, might havo devel
oped Into a second Victor Hugo or
other atory teller , of renown or at
worst would have 'made a most suc
cessful newspaper man.
Misfortunes of Micky.
In his story of tho misfortunes of
Micky, Judge Llndsey recounted how
one boy, reputed by . the police to be
the toughest boy in Denver, was sav
ed by the efforts of the Juvenile court
and how he brought in many of his
companions to the court and eventhal-
EY
ly how he assisted In bringing about
ihir law which abolished the practice
i f throwing childreMlnt hellholes.
Micky, ho said, has grown to bo a
nioht useful 'citizen and Is a living re
futation of tile theory that kindness
is not HUperlor to Jails.
Takes Shot at Ilcast.
In concluding his lecture. Judge
Unlscy encroached slightly upon
(lie subject about which another pe
riod of his life center?, namely the
fiht against the graft and corruption
in the higher-ups, in the men who
plaeu property rights above human
rights, business above manhood, the
I ;ea.t In the Jungle. He denounced
these men bitterly as being respon
sible for Hie conditions which create
;; many depraved children In their
gr 1 and avarice.
T!ie speaker was Introduced to the
audit nee by lJan P. Smythe, president
of the Pendleton Commercial associa
tion and was accompanied to the
platform by Judge G. W. Phelps and
Judge J. W. Maloney.

New York, April 6. Dispatches to
day from a staff correspondent of
the New York Sun at El Paso declare
thpt Japanese aggressions In Mexico
are the real cause of the mohllizii
tion. He says that the man who is
in the closest touch with the Mexi
can foreign office, and who is now
here, is authority for the statement
that the real reason for sen 1 ng the
American troops to the border was
tu caution Japan and Mexico regard
ing any pressure brought to bear onto
the Diaz government to grant Japan
ese a coaling station The man de
clares that Japan insisted that Mex
ico must grant her a coaling station
if America is permitted to use Mag
dalenn Buy. Mexico therefore was
iforced to withdraw concessions to
the Vnlted States. Following this,
Japan continued to press Mexico for
a coaling station, anyhow. It was to
warn, both countries against complet
ing any such bargain that the Ameri
can mobilization was ordered."
Homer! llopa-s for Peace.
Washington, Apri' 6. The infor
mal conference In Washington ten
days ago between Senor de la Barra,
Mexican minister of foreign affairs,
nnd Dr. Vasquez Gomez, head of the
revolutionary party's confidential ag
ency here, details of which gradually
are leaking out, has resulted in the
taking of steps which soon may ef
fect a settlement of the troubles in
Mexico.
Dr. Gomez yesterday sent messases
to his colleagues in both El Paso and
San Antonio, Texas, informing them
that he hoped soon to be in direct
communication with Francisco I. Ma
dero, the inmirrecto chief, and sug
gesting that it perhaps might be un
necerrary for them TO hazard the trip
to the Madero camp.
Within the last two days, it has
been privately suggested to Influen
tial persons In Mexico City, that peace
conditions would be hastened, if tele
graphic communication were permit
ted between Dr. Gomez In Washing
ton, and Francisco I. Madcro in Chi
huahua, Dr. Gomez being named by
Francisco I. Madero as the only man
beside himself to whom peace pro
posals could be made. Dr. Gomez,
who was a candidate for vice presi
dent on the same ticket on which
Francisco I. Madero ran for president
in tho last election, always expressed
a high personal regard for Senor de
la Barra, and it is believed that tho
cordial meeting of the two here, even

itiative and Referendum.
Portland, Ore., April 6. Theodore
Roosevelt was given a reception in
Portland yesterday that was equal if
not greater in enthusiasm to anything
he has experienced since he began
1,1s pres- nt tour. He rode through
the streets lined with people and was
greeted with cheers all along the way.
East night Mr. Roosevelt was the
gut-t of the Portland Commercial
duo at an banquet which was the
most novel affair he has attended
since he left New York. The club
rooms were transposed Into an Af
rican Jungle and the various features
ot the entertainment, all of which
were of lilt; tropical sort and held up
national and local figures to good
r.atured ridicule, were received by
Mr. Roosevelt with every evidence of
enjoyment, even when the Joke was
1 n himself.
Immediately after the dinner Mr.
Roosevelt was hurried to the armory
where a great crowd waited to hear
his address. From the hall he was
teken to the Press club for an infor
pial re'gjitloii and shortly before mid.
night boarded the private car in which
h- will continue his journey as far as
St. Paul. .
Colonel Roosevelt made his princi
pal speech of the day at the Armory,
which though it se;its 3.000 people,
was packed by almost twice that
number, while at the entrances, there
w, r- a throng almost as dense as that
in.-ide the building.
Mr. Roosevelt congratulated his
audience on the prosperity of this
st.:te. ;inl said that as a progressive
! .::n.-i'.l' lie is pleased the state's busi
in ss srouth apparently has not been
interfered with by its progressive ac
tion. He said he bad come to Oregon
much less in the attitude of a teacher
than in that of a scholar, yet there
arc some things which he said he
very earnestly desired to say just be
cause of the fact that "you are tak
in ;; the position of leadership in the
effort to fcnlve the political and social
problems with which the nation is
faced. You have taken a forward
place along several different lines.
A. regards certain of those lines, the
steps you have taken refer to mat
ters which are of national conse
quence. In the sense that they are
matters with which all our people in
their collective capacity ought to
deal. As regards other matters, they
are things affecting Oregon only, and
which can affect other states merely
in so far as those states are influ
enced by Oregon's example. As an
instance of the first class of matters
those affecting the whole nation, I
wish to comment, and to comment on
il in the most emphatic favorable
manner, upon what Oregon has done
ir. the direction of securing the elec
tion of I'nited States senators by the
direct vole of the people.
He a proved th the Initiative and re
ferendum but he vigorously dlsap
Oontlnued on Page Ten.)
Under the command of Lieutenant
George Hartmnn, the members of the
famous Second Oregon will' march to
the attack and they promise to rout
tho guardsmen completely. One hun
dred rounds of ammunition will be
issued 30 the firing will probably
continue for long if the veterans fail
in their tirst assault to dislodge their
enemy.
Since the sham battle a week ago
last Sun lay In which 'one half of the
company held a prominence on the
reservation while the other half as
saulted, all members of the company
from the commanding officer down
to the lowest of the buck privates,
have been desirous of further experi
ence and assert they learned more
In that one mimic engagement than
they havo In all of the general en
campments they have attended.
The battle Sunday will be conclud
ed In plenty of time to allow partici
pants nnd spectators to attend the
ball game and it is probable that
many of the townspeople will go out
to see the fray.
CHAMBER OF COVMKItfK
ISSUES INTERESTING CIRCULAR
"The Ten Acre Tract in Oregon,"
i.i the title of circular No. 3 Just is
sued by the Portland Chamber of
Commerce says the Portland Journal.
It may ht had upon application at the
offices of the chamber in the Som.
mercial club building. It is intend
ed particularly for the benefit of the
homeseeker who comes here unac
quainted with prevailing methods and
conditions and who finds them quite
different from those to which they
have been accustomed, but is also ln
t n stim; and educating to the ol-b.-r
OregonUns.
In touching upon what can be done
with a 10 acre tract tho circular am
ong other things says:
"As to nc thods by whic h 10 acres
can be made to yield a living for a
family. A 'living' we take it, means
provision for all the needs of the
family food supplh.s, clothing, school
supplies for the children, incidentals,
etc. Standards of living differ, of
course, but we are dealing with aver
aye cases.
"The crops tlint the 10 acre man
will raise will include, principally fruit
and vegetables. Besides a work horse
or team, he will keep a cow, a few
liogs, a flock of poultry and from 20
to 50 stands of bees. He can speci
alize ii.any one of these, excepting
perhaps cows and swine, and make a
success. Or he can combine them in
almost any proportion and still be
successful. No two men will accom
plish the same results by exactly the
same means.
"If tho 10 acres He In one of the
great fruit sections, and Is a bear'ng
orchard, the problem of a living from
10 acres Is no problem at all. There
are 10 acre apple orchards In Hood
River that pay a profit of $5000 a
year. There are 10 acre peach orch
ards In the Rogue River valley that
pay even better than that. There are
10 acre prune orchards in the Urn
pqua and Willamette valley that yield
a net revenue of $100 a year. There
are 10 acre cherry orchards in the
Willamette valley and the upper Co
lumbia river basin that produce $2,
000 a year."

tiud Strong Wind Save Mills Or
igin of Fire is Unknown Eoss
Partly Covered.
Echo was visited by the most dis
astrous fire in many years this mor
ning when flames destroyed two ware
houses of the Henrietta Milling &
Grain company valued at $4000. In
surance to the sum of $1250 was car
ried on each building and as both
were practically empty, the loss was
reduced to a minimum.
According to a telephone commun
ication this morning from Justice
Scholl, the fire was discovered about
S:30 and one of the warehouses was
soon enveloped In flames. The fire
men responded Quickly to the alarm
and would have saved the other ware
house had the water not been turned
off from the hydrant by the milling
company several days ago. As It was,
they did valiant work in saving the
mills which were close to the ware
houses. They were aided in this by
the strong wind which was blowing
away from the the other buildings.
Had the fire have occured yester
day, there would have been a much
greater loos sustained as a large
quantity of baled hay which had been
stored in one of the warehouses, was
shipped out last night. There were
only 200 sacks of bailey in the other
building which belonged to John C.
Williams and this was a total loss as
there was no insurance carried on It.
The origin of the fire Is in doubt
but it is thought to have been from
a spark from a passing engine or
from a match or cigarette stub care
lessly thrown by a hobo or a member
of the extra train crew which was In
the yards. The two buildings were
almost entirely consumed by the
flames but will probably be rebuilt.
The insurance was carried in a
Hartford company and in a London
and Lancashire company.

Washington, April 6. La Follette
introduced today in the senate a res
olution providing for another inves
tigation of the Lorimer charges.
The resolution proposes an inves
tigation to be conducted by the new
members of the senate. The com
mittee proposed is Works, republi
can, California; Townsend, republi
can, Michigan, and McLeon, republi
can, Connecticut; Kern, democrat,
Indiana, and Pomerene, democrat,
Ohio. The resolution recites the fact
that witnesses that didn't appear at
the first investigation have since tes
tified that a fund of one hundred
thousand dollars was raised to In
fluence the election of Lorimer. The
resolution was tabled without dis
cussion, but Is expected to come up
soon for debate.
Just before the senate convened
Stone of Missouri, said that in his
opinion the senate was bound to fake
cognizance of the testimony of Kohl
saat as given before the investigating
committee at Springfield. It is pre
dicted that the case will be reopened.
The antiLorimer senators have been
refused by the Springfield officials
to send the transcript of the Kohlsaat
testimony and of that submitted yea
erday by Funk.
Ten of the 46 senators who voted
for the support of Lorimer are no
longer members of the senate and
anti-Lorimerites claim majority of the
present body.
I.orinicr's Friends Working.
Springfield, 111., April 6. Friends
of Lorimer are today planning to de
feat the attempt to expose the bribery
of his election by killing the bill ap
propriating ten thousand dollars for
he expenses of the senate committee
in investigating the scandal. Mem
bers of the committee said today that
they did not be lieve the house dared
to defeat the bill In view of he charg
es by Funk that Hines admitted that
a hundred thousand dollars was spent
to elect Lorimer.
Fun 's testimony coming after that
of Kohlsaat is causing a sensation.
Funk's allegation that Edward Tilden,
president of the National Packing
company, was named to him by Hlnes
as the man to whom the subscribed
money should be sent, caused more
excitement than any development so
far.
Released Voluntarily.
Springfield, April 6. Funk testi
fied yesterday that he voluntarily re
leased Kohlsaat from the pledge of
confidence, when he felt that the pub
lisher would be -'ent to Jail unless the
Information was given.
The disclosures made by Funk oc
curred unexpectedly at a epeclally
called meeting of the senate commit
tee members. The committee was
not scheduled to resume Its Inquiry
until tomorrow, at which time Mr.
Kohlsaat had been order to reappear.
But Mr. Kohlsaat and Mr. Funk ar
rived In Springfield yesterday morn
ing from Crlcago and Chairman Helm
of the investigating committee at
once called its members Into special
session.
Chairman Helm was aware that
Mr. Kohlsaat stood ready to give the
name of his informant. But no one
outside of the committee knew of the
matter. News of the disclosures swept
from the supreme court building to
the state house nearby within a few
moments. The house was still in session, while
the senate had just adjourned for the
day. The reports caused excitement,
much discussion and hurried consul
tations among certain members in
both branches of the legislature.
Several members left their seats In
the midst of the debate on the civil
service bills to learn more of the dis
closures. Mr. Kohlsaat preceded Mr. Funk
on the witness stand. He briefly stat
ed that he was ready to give the name
of the man who had furnished him
with the report of the alleged $100 -000
slush fund.
Attorneys, members of the com
mittee and spectators leaned forward
tensely, as Mr. Kohlsaat gave the
name of Mr. Funk. As the latter was
called the committee room filled rap
Idly with spectators, some of them

left their seats in the state honuse.
