THE MORNING OREGONIAN. SATURDAY, JULY 11, 1903. PAINT AND DISCORD Members of Water Color Club in Turmoil. LADY PRESIDENT OVERLOOKED Organization . of Amateur Women ArtlHtM Is Disrupted by .Petty Poll tlcs Calls for Meeting Are Is sued, by Both Factions. "It's a disgraceful affair and those who are mixed in it are not ladies et all, bo there." "The president has no right to try to run everything. We members will hold a meeting and If she doesn't want to come she needn't; we can get along with out her." This is the way members of the John Ivey "Water Color Club speak of the dis sension which has shaken that organiza tion of lady artists to its very foundation. It looks as though some water colors would soon bo spilled about the quarters of the club. Mrs!" J. P- Wager is president of the club. Mrs. T. T. Geer is the first vice president. The roll has upon it ae mem bers some of the best-known woman painters of the city. But they are In an awful row. The statements of the members as to the cause and extent of the trouble differ very widely, in fact, they contradict one another absolutely. A meeting at which apparently a majority of the mem bers will be present will be held in the home- of Mrs. G. W. Simpson. 303 Four teenth street, Monday afternoon. Another meeting has been called at the same place for Wednesday afternoon. One has been called by the members who are opposed to the administration of Mrs. Wager. The president did not want to be left alone In the matter of calling meetings, so she has announced another for Wednesday. For the sake of harmony it is a fortunate thing that they are not appointed for the same day. .Striking a happy medium between the contradictory reports, It is evident that the dissension began with the desire of a number of members to close up the busi ness of the club for the Summer. Mrs. Wager didn't want It closed up. So she tried to close tip the members, at leas,t that is what they say. But they wouldn't be closed, so the row began In earnest. The question of a new president for the club has also had its influence In still further stirring up the troubled waters of the John Ivey Water Color Club. Mrs. "Wager declares that she doesn't want to be president any more. "I wouldn't be the president of the club another term lor any consideration," said she most emphatically. "I am working for Mrs. Geer, who is our first vice president, and is entitled to the position." But some of the other members didn't want Mrs. Geer to be president, wife of an ex-Governor though she be. They are pulling wires for Airs. A. H. Wlllett. An effort was made some weeks ago to amend the constitution of the club so that members who had recently Joined could hold office. Mrs. Wager bitterly opposed this movement. And again did the demon of dissension stir up' the waters with his paddle of discord. The John Ivey Water Color Club has been organized for one year. It numbers GO members, many of whom have recently Joined. Apparently .Mrs. Wager was afraid that the reins of power would pass into the hands of the new members. Therefore ehe opposed this amendment" with might and main. And the other members were Just as determined that it should go through. Thtfugh the trouble In the club has been brewing for several weeks the sound of battle was kept away from the Inqulstlve world. But In yesterday morning's Ore gonlan appeared a notice that stirred the president to quick' and immediate action. The telephone began to buzz. Soon an other notice, attached to which was the original announcement, made its appear ance at The Oregonlan office. The original notice Is aa follows: " John Ivey Water Color Club will hold its. an nual meeting and election Monday, July 13. 2 P. iCt at the home of Mrs. G. W. Simpson, 303 3"ourteenh street In bold, blue pencil was the following "correction": Local. A correction. (Please substitute this and kill any other notice.) A mistake was made 4n the time of yesterday's notice of meet ins of John Ivey "Water Color Club that will be corrected on receipt of postal cards signed by the president of the club that have- been mailed to each member. Committee. (Signed) Mrs. J. P. Wager, President of Club. Mrs. G. TV. Simpson, at whose "home the meeting was supposed to be held, was asked the reason for the contradictory notices. "Well, really, I don't know much about it, but I understand that there is a di vision in, the. club, and that there may be two meetings at my house. I have offered my house to them and If they come Mon day, all right If there is another meeting Wednesday that will be all right, too. r haven't been to one of the meetings for a long time, and I really do not know what the trouble Is about. I think that the president is the one to Insert a notice of a meeting." "Bid you insert the first notice?" Mrs. Wager was asked. "No, I did not; It was done by some one without any authority." "But I understood it came from the press committee," persisted the inquisitive man. "I am the president of the club, there lore I am the press committee," replied the president of the circle of harmony and water colors. "I believe that the mem bers who put that notice In the paper have all been members of the club but three months." Then Mrs. Wager gave the names of press, committee No. 2, but lor the sake of peace they are withheld. "It is utterly Impossible to take up the amendment which they propose just now when most of the members are out of the city," continued Mrs. Wager. "There is nothing in the constitution to compel me to close the business of the club lor the Summer. The regular meetings are upon the first and third Saturdays, .and all spe cial meetings must be called by the presi dent, and the notice signed by her name. There are GO In the club who believe about as I do, but there are five or six who are opposed. "One person cannot rule our club, as Mrs. Wager will soon find out." This came from a member who was not named by Mrs. Wager as among her opponents. Apparently the seeds of rebellion have been scattered broadcast. "Thero's nothing In her power to allow her to do so," continued the Irate member of the John Ivey Water Color Club. "She is angry because of the amendment we have offered to the constitution. Thirty members signed a petition asking her to call a meeting, but she refused and said she would slam the door In the face of any one whom she had not Invited. At the last .meeting ehe had invited five or six. Ten others went and she wouldn't let them In. "What did you say? Write a little story about the trouble- in our club? Oh, you mustn't do that. All I wish is the regular notice in the society column." It looks .as thou eh John Jvav Monterey, the organizer of many clubg of amateur iaay painters along the Pacific Coast, will soon be called in as an arbiter to pour oil upon the angry waters of the Portland organization. Xqefeoat by Lumber Mills. VANCOUVER. B. C. July 10. The em ployers of thl3 city have taken to striking now. They have refused to go to work in other words.' the members of the Brit ish Columbia Lumber and Shingle Man ufacturers' Association and of te Van couver Builders' Exchange have tied up building operations. No lumber is being delivered by the mills except to the City Engineer. He gets all he wants for such civic wotk as sidewalks, drains and bridges; fcut nobody else can get any. The men want a nine-hour day, but the lumber association says that most of the trade they get comes from points where it has to compete with factories working ten hours dally and at lower wages so the de mand cannot be granted.

The recent decisions of the Judges of the Circuit Court of Multnomah County are responsible lor this action. The union men have worked for years for the pass age of the Initiative and referendum act.

At the meeting of the Federated Trades Council the following resolution was unanimously adopted: ' Whereat, the people of the State of Oregon have spent much time and money during the past 11 years to obtain the in itiative and referendum amendment to the constitution of our state, and two con secutive Legislatures almost unanimously approved and submitted to the people such an amendment, which was adopted at the June election last year by a major ity of nearly 11 to 1; and. Whereas, Judges J. B. Cleland, M. C. George, Alfred F. Sears, Jr., and Arthur Frailer, constituting the Circuit Court of Multnomah County, have decided on a trivial technicality and contrary to the Declaration of Independence and the bill of rights of Oregon, that said amendment Is Invalid; therefore, be it Resolved by the Federated Trades Council of Portland, That If the Supreme Court of Oregon shall sustain this purely technical decision, we will exert our ut most to have the Legislative Assembly In 1905 call a constitutional convention at the earliest possible date for the purpose of submitting to the people of Oregon a new constitution, and will unite with all other good citizens in making the initia tive and referendum a part of the new constitution. It Is still possible that a parade will be decided upon by the Labor day committee of the Federated Trades Council. The committee has reached no definite deci sion as yet, and tho report made to the council last evening carried with it a pro viso that all depended upon whether or not suitable grounds could be secured for a big field day performance. Many of the union men are opposed to the parade fea ture, while others are as anxious that it be made a part of the day's celebration. "Perhaps we will decide upon a par ade," said one of the members of the committee last evening. "We have made no definite report, and no official an nouncement as to whether or not a par ade will be called for can be made until the arrangements for the grounds are completed." CURE HELD TO BE A FAKE German. Remedy lor Consumption Must Stand Test In Conrt. NEW YORK, Juiy10. Counsel for the New, York County Medical Society has Investigated the methods of an alleged tuberculosis cure bearing a name similar to that of a high German physician. The concern . has places of business In New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Pittsburg, Chicago, Cincinnati, St. Louis, and half a dozen other large cities, and is said to be doing a large business on the strength of the reputation of the German specialist It Is said the attention of the District Attorney has been called to their representations, and a general warfare upon them is to be instituted. Eminent physicians In this city are said to hold letters from the German doctor denouncing the managers of the American concern as charlatans, and urging that they be exposed and stopped from fur ther beguiling suffering humanity In his name. The Board of Health has sent a notice that the man who Is known as the head of the Institution Is not registered here, and has not authority to practice In New York State. He is said, however, to have been graduated from a Missouri medical college, and to have been placed at the bead of the concern by Its promoters because of the name he bears the same as that of the. German doctor. EXCURSION RATES EAST.

CUT 'OFF SIX CLERKS COUXTY COMMISSIONERS WILD RE DUCE SHERIFF'S FORCE. TnX' Collection Department "Will Probably Lone Half It Employes Storey Muck Displeased. The County Commissioners yesterday decided to cut down the force of clerks in the tax ' collection department of the Sheriff's office one-half. The force has been composed of 12 men, and the order of the Commissioners means that six clerks will be dropped. Who the six will be rests with Sheriff Storey, and yester day afternoon he said he had not yet moved In the matter. The County Court .bas nothing to say concerning the indi viduals employed by the Sheriff and other officers in the Courthouse, but has power to limit the number of deputies and fix their compensation. It was rumored that a clash occurred between Sheriff Storey 'and County Judge Webster over the re ductlon of the lore?, but Sheriff Storey says nothing of the kind occurred. The Sheriff said further In conversation with an Oregonlan reporter: "I have not kept too many men In my office at any time but have run things economically. I have saved the taxpayers I1S.O0O in the past year. That is the way I have conducted my office." The reason assigned for cutting down tho force in the tax collection department is that the taxes are nearly all in, and that so many clerks are not required. Part of the force has worked In the day time and the others at night checking up. Whether or not the Sheriff will try to re tain all of the men on the ground that there Is work enough for all Is a ques tion which he will probably dispose of today. SUES CITY FOR $10,000. Father ol Roy Who Fell Throasu Bridfce "Wants Dnmnges. David Brenner, whose son, P. Brenner, aged 8 years, fell through the Second street bridge across Marquam Gulch, filed suit yesterday as the" child's guardian In the State Circuit Court against the mem bers of the City Council for 10,000 damages. The accident occurred xm Novemhpr 2 1902. It is stated Jn the complaint that the bridge suddenly gave way near the center while the boy was walking over it, ana he was carried down with the bridge over 50 feet into the bottom of the gulch. It is alleged that his skull was fractured, and that he was otherwise se verely bruised and mangled, and will never fully recover from the effects of the fracture of the skull. It Is further averred that the members of the Council, whose duty It Is by law to see that the brldee Is kent In eood re pair, neglected to have It put In safe condition, and negligently permitted the Pudiic to use it as a street or sidewalk. TWO YEARS FOR RODDER. Bert Stacey, a Piano Salesman, Is Sentenced to Penitentiary. Bert Stacey, convicted two weeks ago of TOuuing a. uopiana on December Z4, 1902, was sentenced by Judge George yes terday to two years In the penitentiary. George W. Joseph, attorney lor the pris oner, tried hard to obtain a new trial for him, but without avail. Stacey was employed for years selling pianos for a San Francisco firm, and his previous rep utation is said tp be good. The charge against him was that he and James Mc Quade held up Copland and took his watch, valued at $15, from him. McQuade was tried and convicted, and sentenced to five years in the penitentiary. McQuade all along maintained his own innocence. and testified in-favor of Stacey. The lat ter was arrested In California and brought back here.

Hans Kurth, inventor of the oat hull ing machine, who was -'arrested a few days ago on a telegraphic dispatch from Chicago, can now breathe a free breath, for the Chicago authorities have dropped his case. Kurth was accused of buncoing a Mrs. Kathrlna Spies .out of 5500. He was ar rested here on information from Chi cago, but Samuel Connell, who has been the young mans employer for several years, was so thoroughly convinced of his Innocence that he fought the case, and had the man released by habeas corpus proceedings. It was expected that an officer would come at once from Chi cago, and make an effort to get extra dition papers. Mr. Connell stated that he would also fight the granting of ex tradition papers. The matter was set tled yesterday, however, by a dispatch from Chicago which said that the case had been dropped, because the people making the complaint would not put up money to defray the expenses of bringing Kurth back.

WATCHED THE BOY DROWN SPECTATORS THOUGHT CHARLIE PARKER WAS JUST FOOLIXG.' Eleven-Year-Old Child Is Thrown Out of Boat In itonsrn Water and Perishes. "While a dozen men stood Idly by, laugh ing at what they thought to be a boyish Joke, little Charles A. Parker) aged 11 years, who had fallen out ot a boat near the Irving dock, struggled desperately to keep from sinking, but finally exhausted himself. and sank to the bottom of the river. His companion who had been In the same boat was powerless to help him, and the men who stood by realized his danger too late to save his life. " The incident happened at 4:15 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and the little form remained In its watery grave until 7:30 P. M., when it was recovered by Hugh Brady, but a short distance from where It had gone out of sight. Deputy Bald win, of Coroner Flnley's office, arrived on "the scene shortly after the body had been recovered and took It to Flnley's undertaking apartments. No time has yet been set for the burial. Although a number of people saw the accident, none of them Is able to explain the details, and they are all wondering how the boy could have fallen out of the boat accidentally. With his little playmate. Harold Chlld ers, who Is about the same age, and a next-door neighbor, the Parker boy was out rowing In a small boat. The boys saw a large steamer coming, and had to row with 'all their iplght to get out of Its course. They were very much excited, for It looked for a time as If they must be run down by the larger vessel. After they saw that they were safe they stopped their rowing, but were not over their fright. The steamer passed, but as large steamers do, It left great waves in Its wake. The waves tossed- the little boat about in a very violent manner, and the boys were afraid that- they would be up set. All the while some dozen men who were standing on the Irving dock watch ing the boys were very much amused. They did not think that it was possible for the waves to upset the boat, and were not at all alarmed as to the safety of the boys. As an exceptionally large wave struck the boat full It gave a mighty lurch and the Parker boy was thrown out and Into the water. Now, of all the boys that play along the water front there are- but very few that cannot swim like a fish, and the men thoughtnothlngof this. In fact, Itlsa favor ite sport to go out in a boat and jump out and swim In the waves after a large vessel has passed. The drowning boy cried fran tically for helpt but the men were sure it was only a joke, and did not offer any as sistance. The little fellow in the boat realized his comrade's danger, but was himself so frightened as to be useless, and had all he could do to keep the boat straight; so that It would not upset. For two or three minutes the struggling fig ure of the boy kept afloat, and the men would have had ample time to have reached the scene and saved him if they had realized the true significance of his cries for help. "When his head disappeared from sight for the first time, and did not come to the surface for several seconds, they realized that no joke was being played, but that a human life was being lost before their very eyes, and within their reach. Several men lost no time manning a boat and rowing for the scene, but they were too late. His head appeared again and third time, but they still had not reached the scene, and by the time their boat was to the spot? .only an occasional bubble made by the air escaping from his lungs marked me spot wnere a moment Deiore a human, life had struggled for existence. Hugh Brady was sent for immediately, and commenced a search for the body. He thought that It must have drifted down the stream, but failed to find It there. Finally he went to the very spot where the boy had disappeared and found It but a few feet away. M. W. Parker, the father of the boy. Is a longshoreman, and works at tho Alns worth dock. He lives at 215 Grand ave nue North. Both the father and mother were at the riverside when the body was recovered and brought ashore. DAILY 3IETEOROLOG1CAL REPORT. PORTLAND, July 10. 8 P. M.
