!HB HOlXNINCx (JREGONIAK, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 26V 190Z WHOSE DUTY 18 IT? Mr. McKay Still Hot for Sun day Closing. HE WRITES ANOTHER LETTER' But the City aa-State Authorities Disagree as to the' Law and -the Powers and Duties of Law Officers. A question of disputed Jurisdiction has come up "between the city authorities on one hand and District Attorney Cham berlain on the other- Grant McKay, a. reformer, is trying; to get -warrants out for the arrest of business houses keeping open on Sunday. Mr. Chamberlain says this lies with the city: Mayor Williams retorts that it lies in Mr. Chamberlain s hands, and is moreover not a matter of choice, but. a matter of obligation upon the District Attorney. Mr. McKay fecl3 injured by Mr. Cham berlain's position and has sent the fol lowing communication: Portland, Sept. 25. To the Edltor.)-In Mr. Chamberlain's reply to my article, of September 20, he "seems to have left an Impression on the readers that my motive for trying to en force, the Sunday law was a personal grudge against Woodard. . Clarke & Co. I ask you to publish this letter to vindicate myBelf- I have never had any dealings with Woodard. Clarke & Co.; in fact, I would not be able to recognize any one of tho firm, should I meet him. I have Jut as much respect for "Wood ard, Clarke & Co. as any other persons who are willfully violating a known law, and I have, no personal grudge against them. Mr. Chamberlain said Jn his reply that he would not lesuo a warrant for Woodard. Clarke & Co., as he did not believe in marking out one firm to proceed against. When a number of business men are violating a law It Is not customary to arrest the entire lot, but to proceed against one party, and if a conviction is secured, the others will .Imme diately comply with the requirements of the law or take the consequences. Because, as Mr. Chamberlain says, ho did not consider It Justice to arrest the above firm on tho evi dence that I had in my possession. Is a mild excuse. People as a rule do not like to be mixed up in court affairs; therefore I went to Woodard. Clarke & Co. on Sunday and purchased a small article, to be used as evi dence against them, and even if I did invite a violation of the law. It is no excuse for the violators. T believed it was my duty to do so. I do not understand why Mr Chamberlain says I did not ask for a warrant to arrest Mr. A. Erickeon, as we had quite a long discussion of the matter, and, after repeated requests for a warrant, he positively refused to give me aid, knowing full well that the Sunday law was being ignored by these men. Although I am refused aid from those whose duty It Is to help me in this noble cause, I will not give up, and Intend to see If there Is jjo remedy for the willful desecration of the Sabbath. Next Monday morning, at 10 o'clock. I will again go to Georgo E. Chamberlain's office and ask for warrants to arrest Woodard, Clarke & Co. and A. Erlckson for violating the Sun. day law In keeping their houses of business open on the Lord's day. If moral and 'religious Influences are peculiar ly weak at the point where our social ex plosives are gathered, what kind of a city government have we? Are Its strength and purity so exceptional as to Insure the effective control of these dangerous elements? In the light of notorious t facts, the question sounds satirical, and it Is commonly said and some times acknowledged that our city government is a failure. There is a ruling class in Port land, and they are men of power whose favor the ambitious must court and whose vengeance they must avoid. Who are these men? Are they the good men who have earned the con fidence of their fellow-citizens by tholr pro bity in public trusts, their deep study of tho problem of city government? No. They are gamblers, saloonkeepers, pugilists, men who openly violate our laws with immunity; men who make a trade of controlling votes, and of buying and selling offices and official acts, and I believe It has come to this, that holding a municipal office In Portland almost impeaches a man's char acter, as it seems they give constant aid and comfort to gamblers, saloonkeepers, thieves and all the worst elements of society. There Is, perhaps, no better Index of gen eral morality than Sabbath observance, and everybody knows there has been a great In crease of Sabbath desecration In the cltr of Portland. It seems to me that not onlyls this im mense power for the lawless, winch in Itself Is perilous, but It Is wielded without the slight est reference to policy or principle of govern ment; solely in the Interests of a business or for personal ends. Are popular morals likely to Improve under suoh conditions? GRANT M'KAT. Up to Chief of Police. District Attorney Chamberlain, -when ehown this communication, said: "Mr. McKay had better understand that there is only one way to attain hla object. Ik him set the Chief of Police to notify all houses that keep open on Sunday to close under pain of arrest and he -will immedi ately shut up every place that he objects to. That is the only way and it rests with the city authorities." "When asked If he would issue the war rants to Mr. McKay next Monday morn ing:, Mr. Chamberlain remarked: "It will be time enough to cross the stream when "we get to it" Let District Attorney Act. Mayor Williams somewhat disagrees with the District Attorney. The Mayor stated that the case lay outside of the province of the municipal government This case of Sunday observance comes under section S90 of the code," he said "The state law provides a fine of not less than $o and not more than $30 for each offense on conviction. That is the state law, and it is the duty of the District Attorney to enforce the laws of the state if he wishes to do It. If he does, all right if he don't, why. that's all right, of course.

Celebration Is to Begin Next Wed secular Evening. The orthodox among the Hebrews will begin the celebration of the New Tear in three 'synagogues of the city next Wednesday evening. The Jewish holi days areialways celebrated on the even ing prior to the actual day, owing to the fact that in Oriental lands It ls believed that the day begins In the evening hours. The new year, whose advent will be soon celebrated, is this year 5553, according to the Jewish cal endar, which has been kept Intact through so many centuries. The hew year's day which will be so solemnly observed In the various places of wor ship, ushers in a month of sacred days and festivals, the month being known In Hebrew calendar as Tishri and in cludes the great last day, or day- of atonement, October 11, and also the festival of tabernacles. The most quaint and Interesting ceremony connected with the celebration Is the use of the shophar. or ram's horn. It 1b believed that this usage is based upon the Biblical story of the sacrifice of Isaac, and has been In corporated into the ceremony of the new-year celebration by the descendants of Abraham and handed down to the pres ent generation. The three synagogues which will be at tended by the Jews next Wednesday and Thursday are the Temple -Beth Israel, of which Dr. Stephen S. Wise ls rabbi; the Synagogue Ahavi Sholom, Rev. R. Abrahamson, rabbi, and the Syna gogue Nowah Zedeck Talmud Torah, of which Rev. M. Mosessohn is rabbi. TAFT ON HIS VISIT TO POPE Governor Tells Filipinos of Trip to Dlscnss Friar Question. WASHINGTON, Sept. 23. The Bureau of Insular Affairs has furnished the press copies of the speech made by Governor Taf t on the 'occasion of the reception ten dered him when he arrived in the Philip pines. In the course of the speech. Gov ernor Taft said: "You can be very sure that it will only be a matter of a year or two before the American duty on Philippine products will be reduced to so small a figure as to make It I LANSING STOU4T NEW CASHIER OF HIBERNIA BANK At a recent meeting ot the board of directors of the Hlbernla; Sav ings Bank, "of this city. Lansing Stout was elected cashier of the bank, the vacancy having been caused by the death of Bernard S. Beiily. Mr. Stout ls a native of this state,, being a son of Hon. Lansing Stout, one of Us first Congressman, and a stepson of the late Judge Raleigh Stott. For 12 years he has acted as Chief Deputy Clerk of the Circuit Court, and he has an excellent standing in the business community. ' practically free trade. Delays In Con gressional action on the tariff, and post ponement of the time for a popular assem bly are only the outgrowth of a conserva tism due to a doubt on the part of many as to the real conditions on the islands; a doubt, I may say, which nothing so quick ly will dispel as a quiet prosecution of agricultural and other pursuits and avoid ing of useless political agitation for the next year. "The many questions requiring settle ment between the Philippine Government, and the church led the-PresIdent and Sec retary of War to direct me to visit Rome for a conference with the pope, to see if a basis of settlement might not be reached. After an audience with the pope instruc tions were referred to a committee of cardinals, and an answer was given me agreeing generally with all the purposes' stated in the instructions, which included among other things the purchase of friars' lands by the Government. "This answer proposed that further ne-f gotlatlons be had between an apostolic del egate and myself In Manila. With the hope of having less to do in Manila, and by authority of the secretary, I replied by suggesting to the Pope the form, of contract to be signed In Rome, submitting the questions at Issue to a tribunal of ar bitration to consist of two members ap pointed by the people, two by this Gov ernment and the fifth to be appointed by the Viceroy of India. The questions were: "First, the price to be paid for the friars' lands; second, the price to be paid for the occupation of parish churches and convents' by American troops; third, the disposition of education and charitable trusts, including tho San Jose College case. The contract Included a covenant that the members of the four great re ligious orders, who were all Spaniards, should leave the Islands In two years aft er the first payment was made for the lands, and that only secular priests or non Spanish members of the regular clergy should act as parish priests. "The Vatican agreed to sign such a con tract, excepting the last covenant, which he declined to sign; first, because it related to the administration of religious mat ters, not the proper subject of a commer cial contract; second, because of signing a covenant that would give just offense to Spain, whose subjects the friars were, and as such were entitled to, remain in tha islands under the treaty of Paris, and be cause the Vatican jdld not wish to give countenance to what are regarded as ex aggerated charges. "Instead of this, however, the pope said through Cardinal Rampolla that he In tended to reorganize the church in the islands; to recall the friars now in the Islands from political intermeddling to the Institutes of their order; to provide ec clesiastical education to the natives so that the priesthood ultimately should "be entirely native, and to Introduce priests of other nationalities than Spanish, chiefly from the United States, into the Islands. He said the money for the land would go to the church, for the benefit of the church in the Philippines, and not to the order, and he finally reiterated what had been said earlier In the correspondence, that no priests would be sent to any par ish In the islands whom a majority of the Catholics of the parish did not wish to re ceive. "In view of the unwillingness of the Vat ican to enter a contract for the definite removal of the Spanish friars, the Secre tary of War was unwilling to enter Into a contract obligation, the Philippine Gov ernment and the American Government to pay such definite sums without further investigation, and preferred to recur to the original method of negotiation proposed by the-Vatican through an apostolic dele gate, who ls to visit the islands with au thority to sell the lands, to settle the rental question, and to agree upoji the question of charitable and educational trusts. This basis was agreed to. and negotiations are to be continued here after. "All J-fte data Is to be submitted with the approval of the church. It will thus be seen that negotiations upon many issues are only just begun, though the sale of the lands has been approved, and that on the question of the Tcturn of the friars to the parishes, the matter is com pletely in the hands of the people of each parish for a settlement by a quiet, peace able and lawful expression of their desire to receive or not receive any priest."

People Will Make Corner-Stone Lay ing; a. Public Event Hundreds of Jlen to Be Employed. Preparations are being made to lay the corner-stono of the Neustader broth ers' factory building on Eist Taylor, be tween Grand avenue and East Sixth street. A half-block was purchased here several weeks ago from the Haw tbornes and plans are being prepared to cover It with a two-story brick building of modern design to cost $30,000. It ls understood thit these plans are about ready, and the work will start soon. At the last meeting of the East Side Improvement Association, the president was authorized to appoint a committee to make the necessary arrangements for the laying of the corner-stone. Council man Sharkey was - appointed chairman, but the other members of the committee have not yet been named. The factory will employ 200 to 300 men the first year, which means a large pay roll. Plans for the two-story brick-building for Lambert & Sargent, to bo erected on the southeast corner of Grand avenue and East Washington street, have been prepared by Architect Neer, and are be ing considered. It Is proposed to put up a handsome two-story modern brick. On the first floor on the corner will be the quarters of the Citizens Bank. The bank quarters will take up. 25 feet front age with about 75 feet depth. The re mainder of the first floor will be for store purposes. The second floor will be occupied by rooms and offices. The cost of tho building will be about $25,000. MOXTAVILLA FREE DELIVERY. Carrier Starts Work Postal Station Created Numbering Honses. The mallcarrier In the Montavllla free delivery district has been making de liveries for. the past three days, and has been doing very well under the circum stances. He covers as much of the territory as possible, but the Inspector has not yet settled the boundaries. It Is expected that this will be done within a 'shorttlme, when he will knowwhat he has to cover. In the district, according to the last census, there were 1200 people, but this number Is probably considerably ex ceeded by this time. The territory ls north and south of the Base Line road, and ls altogether more thin the carrier can cover on foot. It Is considered probable that the Inspector will recom mend the use of a horse and cart. The movement to number houses Is progressing. Subscriptions are being taken for this purpose, and It Is hoped In the course of a few weeks that all houses on streets that have been laid out will be numbered; also that boxes will be pliced at all the houses In the territory. This will greatly facilitate the work of the carrier and enable him to give the people much better service. The station Is not a substation, as some seem to think, but a full-fledged postal station, the same as are main tained at Mount Tabor, Sunnyslde and Sellwood, and under the jurisdiction of the Portland postoffice. Money orders will be Issued, stamps sold, 'and mall re ceived for distribution. GULCH BRIDGE REPAIRED. Union Avenue Strnctnre Is Given An other'Lense of Life. Repairs to the Union avenue bridge across Sullvan's gulch have been prac tically completed, although a little more work remains to be done. It was a dif ficult Job to repair this bridge while elec tric cars were passing and heavy wag ons were constantly crossing, but It was done without Interruption of travel. From the middle of the bridge to the south end all the caps on the bents had to be replaced with new timbers. It was found that the caps were rotten. These had to be taken out and new ones put in with traffic passing. The bridge now has a new lease of life. It ought, perhaps, to stand two or three years more before It will be necessary to replace It with a new structure. By that time, probably, such provision will be made that the bridge can be rebuilt by a district, ns sewers are built. It ls cer tain that neither the Grand avenue (now closed) nor the Union avenue bridge will ever be rebuilt by the property-owners. The new charter provides for assessment districts, and hence the East Side Is In terested in seeing It passed by the next Legislature, as the only means of getting the many dilapidated roadways and bridges rebuilt. INSTALLED AS" REGULAR PASTOR! Rev. Andrew J. Montftoxnery Made Shepherd of Third Presbyterian. Rev. Andrew J. Montgomery, formerly pastor of the Oregon City Presbyterian Church, was officially installed as pastor of the new Third Presbyterian Church, East Pine and East Thirteenth streets, last night. He has been acting as the regular pastor since the departure of Rev. Robert McLean, former pastor, and Is now thoroughly familiar with his new field. The members express themselves as pleased with his work so far, both in the pulpit and elsewhere. At 'the Installation Rev. H. S. Temple ton presided. Rev. E. P. Hill delivered the usual sermon appropriate to the event. Rev. E. M. Sharp delivered the charge to the pastor, and Rev. D. M. McClelland charged the people.'' At the conclusion of the services, Mr. Mont gomery was warmly congratulated and wishes were expressed that hp might have a long and successful pastorate at the Third Church POWELL STREET'S CONDITION. Mnst Be Improved or Will Be Closed by City Engineer. Powell street, between Mllwaukle and East Twenty-first streets, will have to be improved, or the City Engineer will close It as dangerous. At petition for its im provement has gone to the City Council, and1 also a remonstrance has been gotten up, but what strength It carries is not yet known. It is said that some who sly s?SBfer ' SiS signed the petition also signed the re monstrance. . All the district south of Clinton street ls anxious for the Improvement o'f Pow ell, as t is one of the Important thor oughfares In that portion of the city. Powell Is but 0 feet wide. Sidewalks and street-car track take up mbst of the street, leaving but a small space to re plank. For grading there would be scarcely any cost. The condition of Pow ell street could hardly be worse, yet It Is constantly being used by vehicles. Funeral of Mis Amnlla Schmidt. The funeral of Miss Amalla Schmidt, of Albany, was held yesterday afternoon from Dunnlng's undertaking parlors, East Alder and East Sixth streets. Rev. D. H. Chambers, rector ot Good Shepherd Church, Alblna, conducted the services. At the close the Interment took place In Columbia Slough Cemetery. Miss Schmidt was 20 years of age. and the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. . G. Schmidt, who formerly lived on the East Side, but for a number of years they have made their home in- Albany. She was an esti mable" young woman. East Oak Street Improvement. The property-owners who signed the petition for Improvement of East Oak street, between East Third and East TweKth streets, are again Inquiring what has become of the measure. They are anxious to see something done toward getting the Improvement under way. It has been some time since the petition was filea. The condition of the street ls very bad. Roadways between Union ave nue and East Sixth street are dangerous, and have been closed for several years. Mllwaukle Grange Fair. Mllwaukle Grange, Patrons of Hus bandry, has decided to hold the annual fair and harvest festival In the town hall In .Mllwaukle, Friday and Saturday, October 10 and 11.

The entertainment given by the Mll waukle Brass .Band In Woodmen Ha'.l, Tuesday evening, for the benefit of the fire sufTerers, netted about $20. The ex act sum is not yet known, as many of the -tickets sold have not yet ben re ported. The band and those who assisted deserve credit for their efforts. East Side Note. Captain and Mrs. J. H. McMlllen are staying at Cloud Cap Inn for the benefit of their health. They are expected home about the 1st of October. The funeral of James Duff, who died from injuries received In the explosion 'at the Willamette Iron Works, will be held this morning. The body will be taken from the Woodlawn residence to St. Mary's Church, Alblna, where serv ices will be held. The work of laying the 20-inch water main on Marguerite avenue ls progress ing slowly, on account of the delay In getting pipe and material. It- has now been laid about six blocks. The main will be a great Improvement to the East Side water system when once down. 'Mrs. M. E. Shafford, who has given much time and work to the farmers' market-place and rest quarters, expects to visit the East shortly. Mrs. Shafford Is much in earnest In behalf of the farm ers. She has visited the Granges and delivered addresses on the subject of the market. MRS. QUINTON'S LECTURE She Tell Whnt Has Been Done for the American Indian. Mrs. Amelia S. Qulnton, president of the National Indian Association, spoke to a number of those interested In the wards of Uncle Sam last eevnlng In the chapel of "the First Presbyterian Church. She briefly told how the association was founded by a few Christian women of Philadelphia In 1879, the main object then being an amelioration In the condition of Indian women and children. The work Increased In scope, however, and an ap peal was made to the churches to raise funds for training and education, and finally the Government, seeing the long petitions presented year after year, took steps toward the -establishment of better schools and missions. "Christian men," said Mrs. Qulnton, "told us that It was no use; thatv the Indians were rnpldiy dylng out, but the fact that there are 17,000 more Indians now alive than when wo formed the association shows the fal lacy of that prophecy. It may surprise you to learn that there arc 70,000 Indians that may be classed as American citi zens, and of these J0.C00 are taxpayers. Of the 34.C00 children of school age, 27.000 arc being educated. The Indians appreci ate the fact that they must aid them selves. A bright Indian girl once said to me: 'Others may help us, but we must do the climbing ourselves. Education has done marvelous things for the In dians. I know of skillful artists, physi cians, and even college professors among them, and they readily embrace Chris tianity. I know of one old Sioux woman who was converted after she was 50 years old, and, though she was a poor reader, she took her Bible and went among her people. Interesting even Sitting Bull In thowonderful story. ''Forty-nine agencies are now scattered among our 267,000 Indians. When our as sociation was organized there were sixty agencies, and our prayer today ls that the agencies may in time be abolished, for politics mingles too largely In the control of Indian a'ffalrs. The agents usually gain their positions by political pull, and have no particular fitness for their important stations. I wU say, how ever, that a few of the agents are warm friends of the red men. and work for their benefit. Of the $10.0CO,J00 which goes to the support of the Indians yearly, the greater part Is controlled by political in fluence. Many of the Indians are now asking that their money be paid them In cattle, household goods and other things which make for civilization. "The work has come to stay, and the Indian question, which Is really the white man's question, must be solved so that the Indian may soon take his place as a worthy member of the general popula tion." WORKING ON TREATIES. Legislation Cuba Will Ask at Hands of United States Next Congre.. WASHINGTON. Sept. 25. With the ex pectation of being, ready to present to Congress, at the opening of Its next ses sion, a fabric -"of treaties between the United States and Cuba, negotiations are pending between Mr. Qucsada, the Cuban Minister, and the State Department, with regard to a commercial treaty, an extra dltidn treaty, and a treaty to adjust the title to the Isle of Pines. It ls the purpose of Minister Quesada, It Is stated, to draw up the commercial treaty on reciprocity lines. The fate of such a treaty will depend naturally on Congressional action on the subject of Cuban reciprocity. An extradition treaty between the United States and Cuba al ready has been drafted. The provision for the establishment of civil government In Cuba omitted the Isle of Pines from the constitutional boundaries of Cuba, and left Its title to future definition by treaty. The United States has decided to leave the Island under the jurisdiction of the Cuban Government, until such a con vention can bo consummated. Redmond May Be Sent to Jail. DUBLIN, Sept. 25.
