CHINA CAN GIVE Us
POINTS ON CHILD RAISING;

! Portland. Ore. Jan. pc That
American parents can learn the man
aSement of Children from Chinese
Is the statement of Juvenile court Of
iieials, who say that the young celes-
tails are the best behaved children
of the city, The young of other
races are frequently brought before
the court but il Is a rare occurrence
when Chinese youngster is arrest
ed
Strange as it may seem and all the
theories TO the contrary notwith-
standing, the Chinese youngsters are
brought up in the most contested
districts OF the city, where juvenile
delinquency is supposed to thrive.
More thlnly populated sections Of
the city furnish greater number of
cases for the court to handle than
Chinatown
Chief Probation Officer Teuscher
says Chinese parents exercise closer
supervision over their children than
do Americans and other races. He
believes if the safe degree of care
were used by Americans in bringing
up their young, the Juvenile court
would have little to do
South Portland, where Little Italy
is located, together with other for
eign population, brings considerable
grist to the Juvenile court mill, as
do the outlying suburbs where the
population is mostly American Sec
ond street and North Fourth street,
the Chinese colonies, however, are
almost never in evidence with unruly
children.
Practically all the young Chinese
in the city, having been born here,
will become American citizens when
they become of legal age. Chinese
parents are very proud of their chill
dren and take great care in their
education,

OREGON PROPOSES TO
PENSION SCHOOL TEACHERS

Portland Ore, Jan. 20 Pensions
for school teachers after 80 years of
! service are advocated in a measure
+. now before the Oregon legislature.
/ The annuities ore proposed to be
$500.
| The plan as elaborated asks that
? per cent of the irreducible school
fund of the state be segregated for
this purpose, that each teacher in
the beneficiary list, which is option
Ial, pay into the fund $ per month
for the first ten years of service, 81
per month during the second and So
per month during the third period.
When thirty years service shall have
passed, each contributor to the fund
is eligible to retirement upon an an
nuity of $500.
Resigning teachers receive re-
fund of one-haf Of their payments.
Dropped members will be reimbursed
in full. Members who have taught
any number Of years may have these
years count by paying up back dues.
1t is proposed to accumulate a per-
manent fund of $4,000 before any
annuities will be paid. 1t is estimat-
ed this will require six years.
The proposal is meeting with con-
siderable favor in this state and is
likely to pass. 1t is taken into con
Isideration that during the teachers
cative life she is paid for but nine
or ten months Of the year and must
make this salary stretch over the
entire twelve. At the rate Of salary
paid teachers in this state, there is
little chance for one to accumulate
a fund for use when old age comes
and the days of usefulness are over.
If the bill passes, teachers of
Portland will organize Immediately
into corporation for the purpose of
carrying ont the provisions Of the act
All teachers VIII be eligible and at
least a majority must join to make
the corporation legal.

~. Warren Refer, of the Seventh
Ohio District, received the hearty
congratulations of all his colleagues

with the expiration Of the present
session. He Will be succeeded by a
democrat. General Keifer first came
to Congress as long ago as 1877. He
served until 1885, and during the
Forty-seyenth congress he occupied

of twenty years he came back to
congress and has added three terms

SEEKING RECALL OF
SEN .1IOR MOIOR

San Francisco, Calf, Jan. So
This city today became the scene of
of the legal sllirmishing in connec-
ton with the fight that is being wag-
ed by the Seattle reformers to bring
about the recall Of Mayor Hiram c..
Gill of that city. In the United States
circuit court of appeals the case the
case of Frank H. Scoby and others
against City Comptroller w. j. Both
well of Seattle, to enjoin the pay
ment of warrants issued to defray the
expenses of the special election call
ed on Feb. to vote on the mayors
recall, came up for argument. The
suit was brought to test the legality
of the special election. The outcome
of the fight is awaited with keen in
terest, owing largely to the fact that
the contest is the only one of its
kind in the history of American mu-
inequalities, with the exception of
that which resulted in the recall of
the mayor of Los Angeles several
years ago. Los Angeles was the first
city to insert the recall provision
In its charter and the success with
which it was employed there has led
to its adoption by many other cities
the past few years.

TO STRAIGHTEN or
RACING TANGLE.

New York, Jan 3d. Whether
there shall be peace or war on the
trotting turf next season is believed
to depend upon the outcome of the
special meeting begun in this city
today by the stewards OF the Grand
Circuit. The meeting is the direct
result of the action of the Columbus
Driving Association in withdrawing
from the Grand Circuit on account OF
dissatisfaction over the allotted dates
and the steps taken to form the
Great Central" circuit. 1t is believ-
ed every effort will be made to
patch up a truce, as the formation
of q rival circuit under conditions as
they exist at present would, accord
ing to the opinion of nearly all of
those we'll informed as to the situa-
tiion, prove disastrous, especially to
the Eastern tracks of the Grand Cir
cult.

II small, warm hand into his and Merry
srGiIed at him SO gaily that in spite of him
self, he walked down the steps and into the
next garden.
Meanwhile the six who had remained be-
hind sat in unwonted silence.
Suppose the old crosspatch should kick

the window to keep watch, and rescue his
little brother If need be.
Suddenly he shouted wildly.
Boys! girls! they're a-bringing him over!

caught up Lulu, and vainly tried to wash her

Sadie made her monkey dance for the visi-

that he almost choked.
Finally he excused himself for a moment

Merry asked, munching pear in great con-

But they were to be, for at that instant
Joe caught side Of pale, but pretty face

Then Mr. Whitby found that he had never

When the noise had quieted little. Mrs.
