Frank Bauman, 2009 USDCHS Oral History FRANK A. BAUMAN November 21, 2005 Tape 1, Side 1 Portland, Oregon Foundational Years, 1921-1935 KS: This is Karen Saul speaking. I am a volunteer with the United States District Court Historical Society, and we are taking the oral history of Frank Anthony Bauman, Jr. This is November 21, 2005. We are in Mr. Bauman’s office at the Carriage House in Portland, Oregon, and this is the first tape and the first side. So, Mr. Bauman, would you begin by stating your full name, your date and place of birth? FB: Gladly, Miss Saul. Frank Anthony Bauman, Jr., and I was born in Portland, Oregon on June 10, 1921. KS: Mr. Bauman, I’d like to begin by having you tell me whatever you would like about your family history and your grandmother and grandfather. FB: Thank you. Let me begin with reference to my grandparents. I’ll take my paternal side first. My grandfather John Bauman, at that time spelt with two “Ns”, Baumann, was born in Berlin, Germany, and left Germany in approximately 1871 at the time of the Franco Prussian War. His reasons, I daresay, were twofold—one, political and two, as a young man he did not want to serve in a war to which he was not sympathetic. So he immigrated to America. Let me add that in 1977, I had the pleasure of being in Berlin for roughly one week when my son, Todd, was studying at the Free Berlin University, and I made an attempt to learn something about my grandfather through official records in Berlin. Unfortunately, those records had been destroyed by the Allied bombings during World War II. But, in any event, he did arrive in Chicago and eventually established himself as a candy maker, particularly at the time of the Chicago World’s Fair, the World’s Columbian Exposition Frank A. Bauman 1 of 1893. As for his wife, Mary Magdalene, she was originally from the Bavaria Bohemian area, and I suspect was part Czech as well as German or Bavarian. The two of them did not meet in Germany, but met each other in Chicago, established a family, of which there were seven children, my dad being the second born—Frank Anthony, Sr., who was raised in Chicago. As for the maternal side, my grandfather Joseph Carolan, an Irish name of course, was born in upstate New York, Oswego, in 1852. KS: Do you know how many generations have been in the United States by then? FB: Yes, yes, I suspect this. Joseph’s heritage is from Cork, Ireland, and Cork in those days was called Queenstown by the British. In fact, the Titanic in 1912 left for the North Atlantic in its ill-fated voyage from Queenstown or Cork. And his family came from the Cork area about the time of the famine of 1842-45 which caused tens of thousands of Irish people either to die or to leave the country. The country was half the size in population, something like that, afterwards. They left for the United States, and I suspect in those old days, on the Cunard Line, which was a Canadian Company out of Halifax originally. His family sailed to Montreal, like so many Irish immigrants and settled in Canada and then many of them worked their way across the border, and his family settled in Oswego, which is on the border of New York State, and Quebec. His family died when he was a very young age and he was orphaned, living in an orphanage until he was about ten or twelve, when he left on his own volition and established himself at a very, very young age. As for his wife, Frances, or Fannie Drake, was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in 1861, and raised in Milwaukee until she was about nineteen or twenty, when the family moved to Chicago. She was a very remarkable lady, just as her husband was a remarkable man. She was very active in the Baptist Church. She was treasurer of the Dwight L. Moody Church in Chicago, who was one of the renowned Baptist leaders at that time. She was also a social worker in the prisons of Chicago and befriended the Haymarket rioters, some of whom were hanged, and the day before their hanging left her inscriptions of respect and thanks, which are now in the hands of the Chicago Historical Society. Frank A. Bauman 2 Her husband had a remarkable career, a simply remarkable career, but typical for the times. Self-educated, he established himself as a bailiff in the court system of Cook County. Eventually he played a role in the old Chicago Inter Ocean, which was one of the leading Chicago papers at the time, and from thereon, thanks to his benefactor, William Penn Nixon, whose career you can find in the Dictionary of American Biography [Exhibit 0004], was able to play a significant political role in politics. He and his wife lived in the western suburbs, beginning in Austin and then moving to the Oak Park/River Forest area, to the west of “The Loop”. He was a member of the Cook County Board of County Commissioners as a Republican, representing the western suburbs, competing with the Democratic stronghold in the heart of Chicago and Cook County. His career was exceptional in this respect, that he left this life as a man of modest means, never participating in the largesse that Chicago politics apparently offered at that time, but loved by all. The family consisted of five children, three born by his first marriage. Unfortunately, Fannie Drake Carolan passed away in childbirth in 1892. My mother, Josephine Carolan, was the eldest of those five. He then remarried, to a lady born in Northern Ireland, Eliza Robinson, [affectionately known as Dee]. That, too, was a very, very happy marriage which produced two children. It was a close-knit family, it was a family succeeding in the New World, and a family of perhaps at times of undue pride. KS: Did you get to spend time with your grandparents when you were growing up? FB: I wish I could answer affirmatively to that question. The only two with whom I spent time would be Dee Robinson, the second wife of Joseph Carolan. But I did have the privilege of spending a few weeks with my maternal grandfather, clear back in the fall of 1926, when he and his wife and their youngest daughter, Aunt Florence, visited Portland. I can remember going shopping with him in the old market area on Yamhill Street. He was a sturdy man, somewhat reserved. I even discovered this at that time given my young age, but he radiated principle and integrity. There you are. Frank A. Bauman 3 KS: Wonderful. Are there more things that you would like to tell us about your background before we speak on the subject of your parents? FB: That’s a broad question. There probably is. I would say this, if I may, the religious influence of the family and I’m talking about the maternal side, but this applied to the paternal side as well. My grandfather, Joseph Carolan, became involved with the Christian Science movement clear back in 1895. He joined that movement in Chicago, and if you make a study of the Christian Science movement’s evolution in this country and abroad, of course the founder, Mary Baker Eddy, was from New England, born in Bow, New Hampshire, and the First Church, which is still the headquarters church is in Boston. But from Boston, it spread to Chicago early on. I suspect, influenced by the World’s Columbian Exposition of 1893. You know, at the World’s Columbian Exposition, Karen, there was a World Parliament of Religions, and the young movement was given a chance to participate, and this would be two years before my grandfather became involved with it. Anyway, what followed was that all the children of his family, except for one, became Christian Scientists and this includes my mother. And of course, it influences me because I attended Christian Science Sunday School as a young boy and received blessings. For example, in my very early years—and I never told the United States Navy this when I applied for admission to the Navy in January, 1942, after Pearl Harbor— that I was healed of infantile paralysis, among other things. KS: Thank you. Well, I’d like you to tell us some about your father, Frank A. Bauman, Senior. Did he go by Senior or? FB: Yes, well he was a modest man. I don’t think he ever insisted being called Senior, but he was our senior and he became very interested in electricity at a very young age. In terms of datelines, and surprisingly, so much of this centers around the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893. As you probably know, it is the most significant fair this country has ever had. Some 27 million Americans, out of the population of 1890, of 62 million, attended that fair. Well, Dad lived very, very close to the fair. He observed that the fair was lit at night by incandescent lights outlining each building, which caused it to be called the White City, and still Frank A. Bauman 4 is. There’s a recent book, called The Devil in the White City, written by a Seattle author [Erik Larson]. But returning to my father, he attended the fair a number of times, just as my mother did, and this moved him in the direction of learning more about electricity.

The assessment was prepared under the requirements and guidance of the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act and the US Environmental Protection Agency, as well as a detailed Source Water Assessment Plan developed by a statewide citizen's advisory committee here in Oregon over the past two years. The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and the Oregon Health Division (OHD) are conducting the assessments for all public water systems in Oregon. The purpose is to provide information so that the public water system staff/operator, consumers, and community citizens can begin developing strategies to protect your source of drinking water. There are nine drinking water intakes for public water systems located on the North and South Santiam Rivers upstream of the Jefferson intake. Activities and impacts in the upstream protection areas have the potential to impact your drinking water. The upstream public water systems include Stayton Water Supply, Salem Public Works, Lyons Mehama Water District, Mill City Water Department, City of Gates, and Detroit Water System on the North Santiam River and the Cities of Lebanon, Albany and Sweet Home on the South Santiam River.

  • Nancy Buenger Abstract
    Nancy Buenger Abstract HOME RULE: EQUITABLE JUSTICE IN PROGRESSIVE CHICAGO AND THE PHILIPPINES ______________________________________________________________________________ The evolution of the US justice system has been predominantly parsed as the rule of law and Atlantic crossings. This essay considers courts that ignored, disregarded, and opposed the law as the United States expanded across the Pacific. I track Progressive home rule enthusiasts who experimented with equity in Chicago and the Philippines, a former Spanish colony. Home rule was imbued with double meaning, signifying local self-governance and the parental governance of domestic dependents. Spanish and Anglo American courts have historically invoked equity, a Roman canonical heritage, to more effectively administer domestic dependents and others deemed lacking in full legal capacity, known as alieni juris or of another’s right. Thomas Aquinas described equity as the virtue of setting aside the fixed letter of the law to expediently secure substantive justice and the common good. In summary equity proceedings, juryless courts craft discretionary remedies according to the dictates of conscience and alternative legal traditions—such as natural law, local custom, or public policy—rather than the law’s letter. Equity was an extraordinary Anglo American legal remedy, an option only when common law remedies were unavailable. But the common law was notably deficient in the guardianship of alieni juris. Overturning narratives of equity’s early US demise, I document its persistent jurisdiction over quasi-sovereign populations, at home and abroad. Equity, I argue, is a fundamental attribute of US state power that has facilitated imperial expansion and transnational exchange.

Plaintiff claims that his injury occurred when, as he was inspecting his work, one of the braces plaintiff had installed “shot out” from between the joists of the structure and flew directly into plaintiff’s eye, which caused loss of the eye. Plaintiff claims that the engineered I-beam joists (“the product”) that plaintiff was installing pipe under were harder, more elastic, and more difficult to penetrate than sawn lumber joists, preventing the copper pipe plaintiff had installed from wedging itself between the joists.

  • A Review of the History of Japanese Mathematics
    Revue d’histoire des math´ematiques, 7 (2001), p. 137–155. A REVIEW OF THE HISTORY OF JAPANESE MATHEMATICS Tsukane OGAWA (*) ABSTRACT. — This review aims to introduce Japanese mathematics to a non- expert and a non-Japanese readership. It briefly characterizes mathematics in Japan, surveys its history, as it developed over the last century, and provides a large (if not exhaustive) bibliography of works in the primary European languages. RESUM´ E´.—APERC¸ U SUR L’HISTOIRE DES MATHEMATIQUES´ JAPONAISES. Le but de cette note est de pr´esenter les math´ematiques japonaises `a un public non sp´ecialis´e dans le domaine. Les math´ematiques au Japon sont bri`evement caract´eris´ees, leur histoire, telle qu’elle s’est d´evelopp´ee durant le dernier si`ecle, est pass´ee en revue et finalement une importante bibliographie dans les principales langues europ´eennes est propos´ee, mˆeme si elle ne peut pr´etendre `a l’exhaustivit´e. 1. INTRODUCTION – NOT ONLY SANGAKU The custom of hanging sangaku ( ), wooden plates on which are inscribed mathematical problems and their answers, under the roofs of shrines in the Edo period (1603–1867) in Japan is familiar enough to have been illustrated and described in Scientific American, May 1998 [Rothman 1998]. It is, however, obvious that sangaku is not all there is to Japanese mathematics. It would be fallacious to consider that the essence of Japanese mathematics reveals itself in sangaku. As a beginning, this essay attempts briefly to introduce Japanese mathematics to a non-Japanese readership. It will answer the following questions : 1) What kind of mathematical disciplines developed in Japan ? 2) How were mathematical expressions written in vertical typesetting ? 3) How did the Japanese calculate ? 4) Is it true that, lacking proofs, Japanese mathematics was not logical ? (*) Texte re¸cu le 7 mars 1999, r´evis´e le 11 novembre 2000.
