12 , THE MORNING OEEGONIAN. SATURDAY, JUNE 20y 1903. TO DROPTHE FOURTH Committee Is Asked to Give Fund to Heppner. MEETING WILL DECIDE TODAY Director ot LytIb and Clarlc Fair Urge '111 at Celcbratioa Be Aban doned and .Money Raised Givea to Heppner Relief Forees. The Fourth or July committee and the BUbecrlbers to the celebration -will meet at 10 o'clock this morning at the Com mercial Clib rooms to act upon a recom mendation that the money donated for the celebration be transferred to the Heppner relief fund. Reports coming: to Portland Indicate that the distress In the flood district Is greater than had been originally esti mated, and that the need for aid will ex tend heyond the subscriptions already made or those In Ight The smaller towns of the state have sacrificed their celebra tions of the Fourth of July, and promi nent business men -who have given lib erally to both funds are urging the Fourth of July committee to abandon its plans and aid the Heppner relief forces. The Fourth of July committee had the question up In one form at Its meeting Thursday evening, but It was understood then that the Heppner fund was sufficient and that the celebration could be carried out. Later reports indicate the necessity for abandoning the proposed observation of the Fourth. The directors of the Lewis and Clark Fair precipitated the action toward call ing off the Fourth of July celebration. The directors voted unanimously yesteriay af ternoon to ask the committee In charge to divert the funds so as to aid the Hepp ner sufferers. Later in the day a meet ing of the Heppner relief committee with prominent business men showed the sentl m nt in favor of this movement was widespread, and General O. Summers, chairman of the Fourth of July commit tee, called a meeting for this morning. The question was brought before -the Lewis and Clark Fair directors In an inci dental manner. On behalf of the Fourth of July committee Paul Wesslnger asked that the Fair grounds be placed at the disposal of the ilreworks committee so as to give the pyrotechnic dlaplay at that point. No objection was raised to grant ing permission for the use of the grounds, hut Acting President Scott suggested: "Personally I would prefer that there $e no celebration of the Fourth of July this year, and that the money raised for the celebration be turned over to the Heppner relief fund. With so much suf fering at Heppner it does not seem right that we should go on with our plans for the celebration. I intend to take advan tage of an opportunity to give expression to my sentiments in this matter in a more public manner." There were immediate responses concur ring in the sentiment expressed by the acting president, though none of the di rectors made an extended speech. Then a motion that It be the" sense of the meet ing of the directors that the Fourth "of July committee be requested not to hold a celebration was made and carried im- j roeaiaieiy. nere was not a aisscnung opinion expressed. Mr. "Wesfdngor volunteered after the vote had been taken to put the matter before the Fourth of July committee. "I shall do so in a very forcible manner so that the committee will understand your sentiments," he said to the other direc tors. I. X. Fleischner, chairman of the Hepp ner relief committee, who Is also a mem ber of the Lewis and Clark directorate, but who did not attend the meeting yes terday, explained later that while his com mittee could use the Fourth of July fund to advantage he had not felt that he could make a formal request for It. He oxpieFsed satlz-fnctlon. however, that the matter would be brought to the commit tee's attention from outside sources. The actual call for the meeting of the Fourth of July committee resulted from p. conference between business men held last night at which more definite news bf the extent of the losses at Heppner was received. It was made apparent that Portland would be called upon for more extensive relief if the community was to toe enabled to rebuild, and the suggestion that the Fourth of July fund be requested was received with favor. The example of the small towns throi ghout the state In abandoning their plans for the celebration of the Fourth had a strong effect upon the meeting last night, and it was decided that what the smaller towns could sacrifice Portland could give up. No formal recommenda tion was made as a result of last night's meeting, it being decided that the com mittee itself would act favorably upon the receipt of fuller information from Hepp ner. Julius L. Meier, chairman of the fire works committee, who had, previously en tered into a contract for the fireworks, telegraphed to Los Angeles ordering the contract held up until the committee met and took immediate steps to secure a call for a general meeting. There is now $318) in the Fourth of July fund, a small portion of which has not yet been paid Into the treasury. The committee has had some expenses which must be paid, and it might be that some subscribers would object to diverting the fund, resulting In an order to repay these 3)ersons tho amounts they subscribed. But if the Fourth of July fund Is aided to tho Heppner contribution it will swell the total by more than 52500. General Summers makes an urgent re quest that all the members of the com mittee attend the meeting this morning, as well as all subscribers who object to diverting the fund. DON'T CELEBRATE FOURTH Charles J. Srhnabel TTrjres That Fund Be Given to Sufferers. PORTLAND. June 19. (To the Editor.) Permit me to file a puis darrein continu ance suggested by the Fourth of July committee's action of last evening, also Jjy Heppner's appeal to Eastern cities for financial help, published In today's dis patches. "While disavowing any intent to suggest to others their business, yet, knowing the wishes of very many of the contributors to this fund and in order to relieve tho committee from any violation of their trust, so called, it would be proper for an opportunity to bo given the donors to express their choice between a military parade or relieving the suffering at Hepp ner. This can be done by a mass meet ing of the contributors the same as was done yesterday at Athena. They will in struct the committee, If given a chance, in no uncertain terms, and ask to fore go, this once, tho "commercial" or dis play feature which has been our long suit for years. Just about the time the Fourth rolls around the illustrated newspapers of the world will he filled with accounts and descriptions of the Oregon disaster, it will be discussed and in the meantime Portland (the richest city in the North west) gives a monster awe-inspiring mili tary parade and pageant, an expensive display tending to demonstrate military authority, strength and supremacy a sort of deft to the elements not to do It again. I am reliably informed that contracts entered Into for fireworks, etc, can be rescinded and rescissions thereof (since hearing of Sunday's disaster) have been suggested by the manufacturers them selves who, it seems, are fully conscious ot arbat wo should do or not do under the circumstances. Emergencies llkerthls do not call for a strict compliance of fiduciary relations with any public enter tainment committee. It is "up to" the committee to let the subscribers decide whether these funds should be "diverted" from a picnic to alleviating the distressed and needy. As it appears to me there is but one thing to do in the premises. Char ity or voluntary assistance implies self denial; can't we deny ourselves for' once the "pleasure" of a noisy celebration? Patriotism founded upon military page ants or parades and the burning of pow der Is not the real thing "by any means. CHAS. J. SCNABEL. HIS FATE FORE SHADOWED Article Published Nine Years Agro Forecast Alexander's Death. The recent tragedy in Belgrade at taches particular Interest to an article headed "Servla's Boy Autocrat," fore shadowing such an event which ap peared in the Youth's Companion of June 14. 1S94, and has been forwarded to the Oregonian by J. Harvey Harrison. The, article reads: "Alexander, the boy-king of Servia, will not be legally a man till his ISth birthday, in August, but he has been Telgnlng monarch of Servia for more than a year, and proposes to be some thing like Its autocrat in future. He has declared the constitution void, and re vived a former constitution, an act which diminishes the power of the peo ple and greatly Increases his own pow ers. "Thus Alexander becomes once more the central figure in a political storm-cloud that may take a very wide range. Russia and Austria-Hungary are both covetous of Influence In Servia. Should a civil war begin there, these great neighboring pow ers would almost certainly sympathize with opposite sides, and they might be dragged into war in consequence. To be a conspicuous figure in stormy affairs Is nothing new to the boy-king, for his father, King Milan, and his Rus sian mother. Queen Natalie, quarrelled 'for years so publicly, on domestic and political matters, that the family was a scandal to Europe. In 1SS7, when Alexander was 11 years old, Milan banished Natalie, who unex pectedly hastened away with the boy. He was taken from her forcibly by Ger man authority and given back to his father, who then tried unsuccessfully to divorce the queen, and lived apart from her until recently. In 1SS9 Milan abdicated, partly because he could not get along with the Radical majority In the Servian Skupshtlna or Parliament, and partly becauso he wished to live In Paris. He left the throne to Alexander, but placed power In the hands of three regents, who were to act as such until the king reached his 18th year. This arrangement lasted until April of last year, except that one of the regents had died, and the other two neglected or refused to have a third elected, as they should have done. This Illegal course, to gether with arbitrary conduct on tho part of the Liberal ministry of the re gents, was obnoxious to Milan and Natalie, who had meantime somewhat patched up their quarrel. It Is believed that they Instigated the boy to the sur prising course he took. In April, 1693, he Invited the regents and ministers to a dinner, demanded their resignations, put them under tho guard of soldiers with whom ho had surrounded the palace, and declared him self ruling king. In this course he was applauded and supported by the army and the Radicals, the majority in Servian politics. "Since then he has had a difficult time In politics. He promptly ordered a gen eral election, at which the Radicals triumphed. But the young king found that his Radical ministers wanted their own way, and not his. He dismissed them, and tried a Moderate or non partisan ministry, vrho could not manage public affairs any better than the Lib erals whom he tried next; for the Radi cals kept their majority in the .Skupsh tlna. "In particular, the Radicals objected to King Milan's return to Belgrade at the end of last year. He had no legal right to be there, for he had received a large sum on his agreement not to return to Servia. But Alexander wished to have near him his father, who is very popu lar with the army. Natalie was also In Belgrade, and she now became reunited to her husband. "The boy-king, in order to legalize his father's presence. Issued a ukase or manifesto, annulling all acts banishing him; but the courts recently declared this ukase unconstitutional. So, toward the end of May, Alexander suddenly de clared void tho very liberal or free con stitution of Servia. which took its final shape In 1SS9, and announced that he would rule according to the constitution of 1SC9, which greatly reduces the num ber of voters and leaves extensive powers to the monarch. "This change Is expected to deprive the Radicals of their parliamentary strength, and it remains to be seen whether they will submit, or try to depose the king and give his office to the head of another monarchical family that has historic claims on the Servian throne." personaimention.

TEN YEARS A PRIEST. Rev. Fntlicr Black Receives Congrat ulations on Anniversary. Rev. J. H. Black, rector of St. Francis' Catholic Church. East Eleventh and East Oak streets, has Just celebrated the 10th anniversary of his ordination to the priest hood. Ten years Vago last Tuesday he was ordained at Mount Angel College, and became connected with the Portland Cathedral as assistant rector, where he remained till he was appointed to St. Francis Church, a little over three years ago. Since that time the parish has grown rapidly. Steps have been taken to raise a building fund, and nearly 5600 has been secured. The intention Is to accumulate this fund in its entirety before the new building is erected. Father Black says he wants to erect a building that will be a credit to the city and without debt. He has received much encouragement in this movement. Many heartfelt congratulations were re ceived by Father Black on the 10th anni versary of his priesthood. Outside of his own church he is highly respected. Dur ing his recent trip in the East he made several addresses and took pains to speak In behalf of the Lewis and Clark Centen nial. In his speech at tho great banquet of the Catholic Knights in St. Louis he spoke eloquently of the Fair. The nom ination of places for holding the next con vention afforded him another opportunity of doing so, and Portland received a large vote. RECOVERED FROM FIRE. Sprlnffvrnter District Rebuilding and "Will Have a Sawmill. Four wagons with machinery for a new sawmill at Springwater left Portland by way of Mllwaukle and Clackamas yester day morning for the Springwater Lumber Company, composed of Messrs. Van Dyke, Chandler and Llvergood. This mill will have a cutting capacity of about 23,000 feet of lumber per day. The owners yesterday purchased a planer, which will be shipped to Springwater at once. The need of lumber in the Springwater district is very urgent, and has been ever since the great fire of 1902 swept away fences, barns and houses In every direction. The Springwater Lumber Company has been operating a sawmill by means of a thresher engine, and turned out 437,000 feet of rough lumber In the past nine months, which has been used mainly In renewing fences and barns, but J. E. Green, who was with the wagons carrying the mill machinery, said that this did not begin to supply the demand. Most of the fences and barns, he said, have been rebuilt, but lumber Is wanted for houses. The mill will be located on the place ot J. H. Shipley, -who has a half section of very fine timber land. The engine and boiler have 40-horsepower capacity. Mr. Green says that that district has nearly recovered from the effects of the Are, and is Improving rapidly. "When the Oregon Water Power & Railway Company com pletes its railway to the Clackamas, It will open up that section to newcomers. Ex-Mayor Hill's Funeral. The funeral of ex-Mayor C. H.

GRAFTERS AGAIN ACTIVE Xcw York Police Are Attempting? to lie-Establish Blackmail System. NEW YORK, Juno 19. In a speech be fore the Order of Acorns, General Francis V. Greene, Commlsloner of Police, has Intimated broadly that attempts are be ing made in the police department to re establish the machinery of blackmail which he attacked when he remanded tho ward men to patrol duty last January. He added that ho - hoppd to thwart the plan by preventing the formation of a new chain of connections. "I want to say from my experience," he said, "that the average policeman is not crooked. Ho has more temptations thrown in his way than any man in any other walk ot life. He can make a month's salary In a minute by simply turning his head. The great majority of the force resist this temptation and do their duty. "Organized blackmail has been broken In two and it has not been put together again yet, though efforts may be making In that direction. I think they can be defeated by preventing the re-establishment of the chain of connections." ESTEE NOT A CANDIDATE. Hawaiian Judge Has So Desire to Be Governor. HONOLULU, June 19. M. M. Estee.

An old soldier's wife described her cof fee experience as follows: "My husband and I have been accustomed to the use of tea and coffee for a very great many years, and we were very fond of the cof fee. , "Somev time ago we received from a dear friend in St. Louis a Christmas box that Included a package of Postum. I prepared Fome without reading the direc tions, and my husband said: 'Oh, non-' sense, this tastes Just like the crust wa ter that was one of the luxuries they allowed to invalids 0 years ago.' Then I looked up the directions, made the Postum as It should be made, and we both found it delicious. "My husband is a broken-down soldier, and was a dyspeptic and suffered from severe headaches, but from the time we commenced to drink Postum we have not taken a cup of tea or coffee. During the hot weather we have eaten no meat, de pending for food upon Grape-Nuts. My dear husband's headaches have disap peared since we left off the coffee and began Postum, and I find myself mentally stronger and much better able to con centrate my thoughts' than for several years pist. Husband htfs a good appe tite now and nothing disturbs his stom ach. "I believe that when mothers come. to pay more attention to their children's diet there will be more health and happi ness In the world and In domestic life generally. Little by little this change must come. "Yours very sincerely for all that per tains to health and happiness. Use our names if you wish." Names furnished by Postum Co., Battle Creek. Mich.
