IX TRUTHS ABOUT TANDARD OIL Will S. Faulkner Tells of the . Devious Methods of Corporation. ITS VARIED PRICE SCALES Speaker Declares That Xo One "Wouia Tell His Son That Rockefeller's Career "Was One to Be Emulated. "Will S. Faulkner, who for many years has been in the oil business; in different parts of the United States cither as the manager of independent companies or as an employe of the Standard Oil Company, lectured at the Marquam last night on the Iniquities of the great system and told of how the people of the Pacific Coast were daily being robbed by petty means ot Rockefeller and his associates. Mr. Faulkner in his lecture stated that it would have been better for the people of the Coast had the vast and inexhaustible oil fields of California never been discovered under presont conditions. He stated that every per son who buys a live-gallon can of oil in Portland pays 40 cents freight charged from the oil fields of Penn sylvania to this city, when in reality the oil used is from the California fields and the freight amounts to not more than one cent, if it is that much. "Wants Portland Refinery. The speaker maintained that Port land capital could with good manage ment establish i refinery in this c!t and furnish oil so cheaply and at such profit that it would pay for the plant in one year's- time. "With the oil fields of California and their independent owners, with the ocoan highway to transport the crude oil to Portland and the refinery and with the market ot the Northwest, no obstacle stands in the way of the successful organization and operation of a refinery here that would force the Standard Company to reduce the price of oil to the Northwest consumer. The address was listened to -with great interest by an audience not so large as It should hayc been, and the speaker from his experience told yora" truths about the great oil octopus that illustrated clearly the methods which have been insrumental In amassing the vast wealth for the magnates who con trol the business. No Loyalty to Rockefeller. Mr. Faulkner argued that no man with whom he had ever talked had loy ally supported the methods of Rocke feller, or hold up his career as one to be emulated by the youth of the coun try. "Not one of the great army of em ployes." he said, "from the trusted lieutenants in New York to the hum blest teamster would call his boy to hjs knee and hold up to him the career of Rockefeller as that of success. They, may .tell you that he is honest, that they believe in hi? business . methods but lhey will never look you in the eyes when they make the statement Standard Oil Prices. The speaker stated that the Stand ard OH Company had an open market price, a contract price, a competitive price, a warm competitive price and a hot competitive price, and that if none of these woula do the business it has a conference in New York and made a price that would do it. As a result the man who bought at the hot competitive price paid about one half of what the easy mark did who bought in the open market, Mr. Faulkner has been for the past year in charge of the Portland station of the Standard OH Company, having been sent to the Coast from the East, where he was the manager of an inde pendent company which had been sold to the system by the stockholders. He resigned on January 1 and states that he will never again be connected with it. His lecture was instructive am) much appreciated by the audience which listened to it. WOUUD FILL PART OF LAKE Iafe Pence's Project to Create Xcw Building: Lots. Lafc Pence, who !s constructing pipe lines and canals for the purpose of obtain ing hydraulic pressure and using it to wash down some of the hills on the west ern outskirts of Portland, is now negotia ting for 4he purchase of a large tract of low land bordering on and including part of Guild's Lake. If this land is obtained, he intends to cover it with the earth washed from the hills above, thus con verting both into availabale residence sites. The tract which Mr. Pence desires to purchase Is owned by the Cottle estate of San Francisco. ,It comprises some SO acres, and Includes the portion of the lake between the American Inn and the Trail. Mr. Pence declares that If he obtains the property, he will wash down sufficient earth to raise even the part now covered with water until it will be as desirable for home sites as any land near the city. The Pence Company, of which Lafe Pence is the head, recently took contracts to level three of the high hills near tho city. The contracts were made with P. J. Mann, the Scotch Company, and Mrs. Parkhurst. The question of disposing of the soil washed from these hills is now before him. If he does not acquire the Cottle property, it will be used to fill in Balch Gulch. This is so deep, however, that it Is not a feasible project to fill it for residence property and Mr. Pence de sires to obtain the other tract and then transform both the high and low land Into level lots at the same time. ELECT WISE'S SUCCESSOR Leading Jewish Rabbis Will Supply Temple Beth Israel. At a special meeting of the congregation of Temple Beth Israel, last night, prelim inary steps were taken towards selecting a successor to Dr. Stephen S. Wise as rabbi of the synagogue. The board of trustees was given sole charge of the matter, and will at once enter into cor respondence with Jewish leaders In the various cities of the country, with a view to selecting a rabbi for the Portland pul pit. It is the plan of the trustees to bring to this city several eloquent rabbis from the large Jewish synagogues of the country, to supply in the Interim between the res ignation of Dr. Wise and the choice of his successor. 2?o names have yet been brought up for consideration, but it Is probable that the spiritual leader of Beth Israel will be selected from the speakers who come here to supply the .pulpit. President Wolfe expressed the regret that the trustees and the entire1 congrega tion felt in the loss of Dr. Wise to Port land. He siM thnf nl announced that he would leave Portland I the trustees had asked him to reconsider his action, and had offered him a. life pastorate of the synagogue, but that he had declined, believing that his duty lay in the wider field that would open to him as leader of an independent Jewish move ment in New York City. "The great work accomplished by Dr. Wise In Portland assures his success in the new field which he will cntor," said Mr. Wolfe. "While it is a great loss to Portland, we know that he lea'cs us be cause he believes that his real duty lies elsewhere, and that he regrets that he must go." Dr. Wise replied in a short speech, ex pressing the regret with which he has Ji reached his decision to leave Beth Israel, but reaffirming that his decision is final. At the close of the mooting, the trustees held a short session, and elected President Wolfe chairman, and Joseph Simon secre tary, of the committee which is to ar range for a successor to Dr. Wise.

Mrs. I. A. Mc Gregor, a widoly known Oregon pioneer, underwent an operation for appendicitis and declined the administration of chloro form. Therefore, the surgeons resorted to spinal anesthesia, and while they worked over the patient she was perfectly con scious, and several times during the try ing ordeal queried As to when the oper ation would be over. The operation was performed at St. Vincent's Hospital December 31, and Mon- Mr. L. A. McGregor, 70 Yearn of Age, Operated Upon for Appeadicltls. day of this week the aged patient was able to leave the Institution and be con veyed to her home. 1S3 East Thirty-third street. The operation was highly suc cessful, arid the complete recovers' of the patient is predicted by the attending phy sician. The operation Is considered one of the most remarkable and most successful ever performed In Portland, and was es pecially so considering that the condition of the patient was very serious when she was taken to the hospital. Her friends hardly hoped for her recovery, but as her constitution was in every other respect robust, she rallied in a marvelous man ner, and Is now receiving scores of con gratulations from her large circle of friends- She has resided In Portland 44 year. : SCHOONER ASHORE Unknown Vessel Drifts on the Beach Near Umpqua. CREW BELIEVED TO BE SAFE Steamer Alliance, From Portland, Brings First Report of Disas ter, butrTailcd. to Make Out the Name. MARSHFIELD, Or.. Jan. 15. The steamship Alliance, arriving from Port land at 5 o'clock this afternoon, reports a three-masted, schooner ashore about IS miles above the Umpqua. River light. She was upright and-'inside the breakers. A heavy westerly sea was running and- the breakers were washing over her. The crew was evidently saved, as there was a M'UtVIN FIKE, HIS GRANDSON, camp, or what looked like one on the bench above the wreck. It was too rough for the Alliance to learn tho name of the schooner, and as there is no telegraph line short of here, it may be two days before her name and particulars will be learned. The Umpqua tug came outside as the Alliance passed, but turned back immediately, so evidently did not know of the wreck. The schooner was apparently light, as no deckload or wreckage was seen. Captain George E. Bridges, of tho steamer Asuncion, which arrived at the Portsmouth oil tanks last night, reports that when oft the Oregon coast In tho f STEAMER INTELLIGENCE.

Captain Bridges also reports that when passing Cape Mendocino a terrific gale was sweeping along, with a velocity of 73 miles an hour, and the lightship was a mile out of her course, having dragged her anchors.

Pease was present at the public" hearing in tho office of Major S. W. Roessler, United States Engineers, yesterday afternoon and protested strong ly against the granting of the petition of the University Lumber &. Shingle Com pany for an extension of the harbor line In front of the company's mill on the East Side of the river near the bend at the foot of Swan Island. Major Roessler took the matter under advisement after hearing lengthy arguments for both sides. Attorney F. A. Flegel represented the mill company. He said that the present harbor line extends from 30 to 25 feet on shore at low water, making it difficult for the mill to handle logs during the low stages of the river. The beach is of hard cement, he said, making dredging almost Impossible and very expensive. The owner of the land, M. Houston, also thought the line should be extended so that the mill could be made accessible from a wharf. Pilot Pease said the channel Is quite narrow at that particular point as It is, and If permission was given In accord ance with the application the millowner would undoubtedly extend, a wharf to the edge of the regular channel, with a depth of about 37 feet. He said the drydock would have been built at that place but for the fact that It would have inter fered with navigation, and he felt certain that a mill wharf would prove equally obstructive ON HER BEA3I ENDS. Steamer DlrlRo Encounters Terrific Gale Off Cape Blanco. SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 15. The steamer Dirigo, which sailed from Olympia, Wash., seven days ago with a cargo of lumber! arrived here today disabled and In tow of the steamer Shasta. The officers of the Dfrigo tell a story ot terrible experiences at sea and narrow escape from total wreck. Thursday, when the vessel was 150 miles south of Cape Blanco, she ran into a heavy southeast gale, which threw ficr on her beam ends and damaged her rudder. About 1W.0M feet of lumber was washed overboard, and only by clinging to the rigging did the crew escape a similar fate. The strain on the steamer caused her to spring a leak. She was kept afloat during the night, and on Friday the Shasta suc ceeded In getting out two lines and bring ing her to port. New Inspector Arrives. Captain P. J.

Mencfec Has Already Stated That He Intends to Introduce Sucli a Proposition. Public sentiment In favor of an investi gation of the gas graft assumed some thing like definite shape yesterday when Councilman W. T. Vaughn announced that he proposed to offer a resolution at the meeting of the Council tomorrow call ing for the appointment of a committee to inquire Into the methods ot the local octopus. In some quarters the stand taken by Mr. Vaughn was viewed pretty much In the same light that the Trojans are sup posed to have feared the Greeks bringing gifts, upon a memorable occasion, as the Councilman from the Tenth "Ward, being the sole Democrat among the municipal lawmakers, has always been regarded as Mayor Lane's personal representative In the organization, and His Honor's present attitude upon the gas question I3 not of a character calculated to arouse unbound ed enthusiasm among the members. Another feature that will have to be considered is the fact that Councilman Menefce was first in the field with a prop osition to offer a resolution calling for the investigation, and in the course ot an In terview in the Oregonlan last Wednesday expressed nn intention ot so doing. "While Mr. Vaughn Is looked upon In some directions as a usurper to a certain extent. It is believed that any resolution submitted by him and naming the com mittee, or otherwise taking the appoint ing power thereof out of the hands of the Mayor, might receive kindly considera tion; but if it Is apparent that the voice Is that -of Jacob and the hand of Esau, as measured by the relative positions of Councilman Vaughn and Mayor Lane, the conspirators, if any there be. might Just as well recognize the fact, firsjt as last, that their scheme will fall far short of Its purpose. , Under the circumstances it' has been suggested that the proper steps for Mr. Vaughn to take in the matter would be to confer with Mr. Menefee and unite upon a plan of action that contemplates the nam ing of a committee sufficiently large to avoid any appearance of connivance. LIQUOR LICENSE FAILS. St. Johns Council Refuses to Pass Pleasure. The St. John3 Council last night re fused to pass the general liquor license ordinance by a vote of 5 to 2. It came up for third reading. Councilman Shields moved that it be postponed until the next regular meeting and that he City Attorney Insert an amendment so that when the Council should revoke a license for any rea son all the money paid the city shpuld be forfolted to the city. This carried by the following vote: Noes Thompson and Peterson. Ayes Shields, Edwards, Lindquist, Brice and Leggett. This is considered the death blow to the ordinance, as it Is not thought that it can be passed in the present Council. The amendment proposed by Council man Shields was a pretext to deal It a solar plexus blow. W. B, McGarry. attorney for the St. Johns Hotel Company, which has a 51030 check up for a license, 'did not hesitate to say last evening that he cared nothing- for the liquor license or dinance, as liis clients bold a Contract with the City of St." Johns to grant It a license when It complies with the conditions under which the Council passed a resolution promising- tho company a license. Tho company has erected a building- and will demand that a licence issue under that resolu tion. W. C. Francis and Dnnicl Brccht applied for vacation ot portions of Al bany. Salem and Johns streets for the sawmill plant. A remonstrance signed by 49 names against vacation of these streets being filed caused the matter to be laid over. Mr. Francis said the company would bulid a plant with a capacity of turning- out 75,030 feet ot lumber In ten hours. Part of the machinery had been arranged for. About 100 men would be omployed. In the matter of vacation of Charles ton street for the Smith Bros. & "Watson Company's marine Iron works no ac tion was taken, although a represen tative was present to urge that the vacation be made. He declined to make any concessions to the city, and the Council would not act. Lutherans Will Hold Conference. Columbia Central Lutheran League will meet in convention this morning at St. James Lutheran Church, In this city. The opening sermon will bo preached by Rev. Dr. Rydquist, ot Astoria. Tomorrow will be devoted to the routine business of the league, the reading of papers and a general discussion of topics thereby Habit-forming Medicines. Whatever jaav bo the f&ct as to many of the 30-callea patent medicines con taining Injurious Ingredients as broadly pahlkncd in soaao journals of mora or less infloeoce, this publicity has certainly been of great beoofit in arousing needed attention to this subject, It has, In & considerable measure, resulted in tbo most intelligent people avoiding such, foods and medicines as may be fairly sus pected of containing the injurious ingre dients complained of. Becognixing this fact some tuae ago. Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., "took time by the forelock," as It were, and published broadcast all the SogredientB of which his popular medi cines are composed. Thus he has com pletely forestalled all harping critics and all opposition that might otherwise bo vrged agalast his medicines, beeaase they are now of khowjt composition. Fur thermore, from the formula priated on every bottle wrapper, R will be seen that these medicines contain no alcohol or other habit-forsaing drags. Neither do they contain any narcotics or Injoriooa agents, their ingredients being purely vegetable, extracted from the roots of medicinal plants found growing in the aepths of onr American forests and of veil recognised cnraMve virtues. Insiead of alcohol, which even In small porUoos long continued, as In obstinato cases of diseases, bceosses highly objec tionable from its teooNmcy to prod-ace a craving for stimalants, Dr. Pierce em ploys chemically pure, triple -refined glycerine, which of itself Is a valuable reiaedy in many cases of chronic diseases, being a superior demulcent, antiseptic antiferment and supporting nutritive. It enhances the curative action of the Golden Seal root, Stone root, Black Cherry bark and Btoodroot, contained in Golden Medical Discovery." in all bron chial, throat and luag affections attended with severe coughs. As will bo seen from the writings of the eminent Drs. G rover Ooe, of New York; Bartholow, 6f Jeffer son Medical College, Phila.; Scndder, of Cincinnati; Elllngwood, of Chicago: Hale, of Chicago, and others, who stand as leaders in their several schools of practice, the foregoing agents are fhA very best ingredients that Dr. Pierce cosid have chosen to make ap his fa moas "Dteeovery " for the care of not oely broach I al, throat and lanr affec tfoas, bat also of chronic catarrh in all its Txriaas inrms wkarsrer located.
