PHYSICIANS APPROVE OF
CREMATION, BUT NOT
THE CHURCH HEADS

Washington, March 12.-Dr. w. c.
Woodward, health superintendent Of
the District Of Columbia. has precipi-
tated a sharp controversy on the SUBJ
ject Of cremation which is stirring
church circles Catholic and Protest
ant clergymen have taken up the
matter and are denouncing as "pa-
gan" such disposition of the dead.
The controversy has reached the news
paper stage and arguments for and
against cremation are finding their
way into print.
II believe It is the only sanitary
way of disposing of the dead" said
DR.. Woodward yesterday, ''and surely
II is the only poetic way. I hope to
see cremation extended"
Monsignor william p. Russell, pas
tor of st. Patrick's Catholic church,
declared that cremation was against
the teachings of Christianity and also
that II was contrary to the tenets OF
Catholicism and that such disposition
of the bodies of the dead was a return
to the days of Rome.
Protestant pastors voiced the same
views.

ALIEN BILL PASSED
BY WASHINGTON SENATE

Olympia, Wash, March 12.-The
Hughes alien bill, submitting a con-
stitutional amendment to the voters
at the 1914 general election to per-
NIT aliens to own land, was amend
ed and passed by the senate on re-
consideration. The bill, which previ-
ously had passed the house, was killed
by the senate because of a protest
made by Secretary Of State Knox that
provision barring Chinese and Jap
anese from land ownership would be
likely to involve the United States in
difficulty with those nations.
The Objectionable feature was ell
minated and the word resident" in
serted so as the bill now stands all
aliens residing in this state will be
permitted to acquire real estate II the
proposed amendment is adopted.

Before the largest crowd that has
witnessed fistic battle here this win
ter. Sing Hosan and Billy Gaffney
fought fifteen rounds to draw last
evening in the Oregon theater.
Though he was not given a decision
and could not score a knockout, the
little China boy had the best Of the
encounter with the exception of
very few rounds and would undoubt-
edly have been awarded victory had
the matter been left to the audience.
In at least half dozen rounds, the
fighting celestial had the Irish lad
in distress but seemed unwilling or
unable to administer a lethal blow
after he had his man wobbly and all
but unguarded. Gaffney, however, as
usual, finished the battle with rush
and it was undoubtedly this that en-,
abled the referee to give him draw
Both men started the bout In hur-
ricane manner and went after each
other hammer and tongs. The orien-
tai demonstrated at the outset that
he had a stiff punch and was willing
to take a blow to get an opportunity
of landing one of his own. CARNEY
was not at ali averse to mixing 1t,
and as a result, the fans saw some
real milling in the first round.
The second round was one of the
Irish boys best. He backed Hosan
against the ropes and pummelled him
vigorously while his admirers ap-
plauded vociferously. The slant-eyed
bov. however, showed no distress sig
nails when he made a getaway and
just before the gong rang sent In
couple of hard jolts to his opponents
chin which changed the tide of the
cheering.
The third, fourth and fifth were
the Chinaman's rounds by good
edge. but Gaffney had the better OF
the argument in the sixth, rushing
the keliow kid around the. rings. and
sending in some good blows. From
then on through the twelfth, there
was nothing to the battle but Hosan.
He played upon Gaffney's jaw with
vengeance and battered and bruised
his face. Several times he had the
son of Erin staggering and 1t seemed
impossible to prevent a knockout
However, just at the opportune time
It seemed. Sing failed to follow up his
advantage and allowed his opponent
to recover. During these ROUNDS.
Gaffney did not do much aggressive
work but was under cover or hanging
on most of the time.
Hosan forced the fighting and the
pace told upon him so that 1t Is PROP
able that he did not have the steam
for a haymaker. In the thirteenth
caffnev rallied and until the finish
held his own with Hosan.
Asa Thomson of Echo refereed 'he

STATES POPULATION
is LARGELY NATIVE
SO Per Cent of People I'm State Are
Whites Who Were Born Here.

Washington, D. c., March 12.-Of
the total population of Oregon, ac-
cording to figures compiled from the
18th census and just issued, 416,961,
or 62 per cent, are native whites of
native parentage; 1928, or 21.1 per
cent, are native whites of foreign or
mixed parentage; and 193,001, or 1873
per cent, are foreign-born white. The
corresponding percentage in 1900 were
6L9, 205 and 49,, respectively, the
proportion of foreign born whites hav-
ing increased somewhat during the
decade. The percentage of Chinese
and Japanese is lie; or Indians, 0.s;
of negroes, OF. In 26 of the "a coun-
ties the percentage OF foreign born
whites is less than Is; in counties
1t ranges from Is to "a; and In
counties exceeds 25. In 3 counties the
proportion of native whites of foreign
or mixed parentage exceeds one
fourth.
In the total population of the state
there are 3S4,265 males and 2S8,500
females, or 1892 males to 100 fe-
males. In 1900 the raio was 129 to
! 100. Among native whites the ratio Ia
1875 TO 100 and among foreign born
white 209.9 TO 10. In the urban pop
ulation there are 1912 males to 100
females, and in the rural, 134.9.
The total number OF males 21 years
of age and over is 257,18S, repre-
senting 1872 per cent of the popula-
ton. OF such males, $40 per cent are
native whites OF native parentage, 1875
per cent native whites Of foreign or
mixed parentage, PAS per cent for
eign born whites, 81 per cent Chinese
and Japanese, and 0.5 per cent Indi-
ans. OF the $500 foreign born white
males of voting age are, 29,675, or
AGA per cent are naturalized. Males
of militia age-19 to 44-number 10s,-
553.
In population Is years of age and
over AIS per cent of the males are
single and 27.1 per cent of the fe-
males. The percentage married is
46.6 males and 63 for females; and
the percentage widowed 43 and S.6.
respectively. The percentage of those
reported as divorced, 1.2 and IL, re-
spectively, are believed to be too small,
because of the probability that many
divorced persons class themselves as
single or widowed.
