TIIE MORNING OREGONIAN, MONDAY, JUNE 4, 1906. 9 GASSATT IS BACK Investigation of Pennsylvania Road to Be Thorough. . HE CRITICIZES THE PRESS Anti - Corporation Sentiment, He Says, Created by Political Parties, Ilesults in Indiscriminate At tacks on Vested Rights. PHILADELPHIA. June 3. A. J. Cas satt. president of the Pennsylvania Rail road Company, arrived at his home at Haverford, Pa., a suburb of this city, from Europe about noon today. He 'will be at his office in Philadelphia tomor row morning:. This evening: Mr. Cassatt gave to the Associated Press the follow ing statement: Mr. Cassatt said he had returned home to take part in the investigation by the board of directors of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company into the matters that had been disclosed during his absence in the proceedings before the Interstate Commerce Commission. He had received only brief cable reports from the office of the company and knew nothing of the details, but from these reports and from cables to the London press he had learned that charges had been made against certain officials of the acceptance of bribes from coal operators. The board would investigate all such charges exhaustively and if any officer or employe should be found guilty of corrupt practices he would be summarily dealt with. Referring to the testimony of certain officers that they held stock of coal companies- and to the inference drawn by the newspapers that favoritism and dis crimination on a large scale had been practiced for the benefit of tne companies whose stocks were thus held, Mr. Cassatt said that while such ownership by offi cers in a position to exercise favoritism, and therefore liable to suspicion, was no doubt inadvisable and unfortunate, it was not an offense in Itself, if the stocks were properly acquired and were not contrary to the laws of the company; in fact, the management had in the earlier years of the company encouraged the officers to aid in the development of industries along its lines. The wrong, if any had been done, was in the alleged, favoritism. There could be no favoritism In rates, as shippers of coal and all other freights were on an absolute equality: all paid the full tariff rates without rebate. Mr. Cassatt made himself personally responsible for the absolute correctness of this statement. If there was any dis crimination it could only be in the dis tribution of empty coal cars, and, so far as he knew, no proof had been produced that the officers concerned had been guilty of such favoritism. The board would, however, also inquire carefully Into these matters and If there had been any wrongdoing would take proper ac tion, but it would not sacrifice faithful and efficient officers to a manufactured and mistaken public opinion. The board would also no doubt con sider the general question of propriety of the, ownership by officers and em ployes of stocks of coal and other com panies using the Pennsylvania Railroad lines and making regulations in relation thereto. There had always been a short age of coal cars during periods of every year and in recent years this condition had been aggravated by the great In crease In the production of coal, notwith standing the very large increases the company had made to its equipment. This had given rise to many complaints, and, as a natural consequence, of charges of discrimination. If the output of coal should increase In the same ratio as in the past few years, it might not be pos sible to supply sufficient equipment to avoid a shortage in the car supply at times. In view of this and of the sus picion which such ownership would cre ate, officers having to do with the distri bution of empty cars ought not to own coal stocks, but to prohibit all officers and employes from holding stock of com panies having business with the Pennsyl vania Railroad Company would practically bar them from Investing in the stock of the companies located tn the state of Penn sylvania and In a half-dozen other states. The subject was troublesome and com plicated. It would do no good, but harm, to adopt unworkable and unenforceable regulations. The question must bo han dled in a reasonable and practical way, and Mr. Cassatt had no doubt the board would succeed in solving it satisfactorily and in formulating proper rules of con duct in this respect for the officers. Though the testimony before the com mission might disclose instances of in dividual misconduct, and though an ef fort, seemingly organized, had been made to place the management in the most unfavorable light. Mr. Cassatt asserted that the company's affairs were honest ly conducted in the interest of the share holders and with a full recognition of its duty to the public. The company had in its employment over 160,000 men, who, in character, effi ciency and devotion .to its Interests had, in their respective spheres, no superiors anywhere. The management had in the past shown itself entitled to the confi dence of the public and it should be trusted now to deal properly with the present situation. Mr. Cassatt thought, too, that the man agement deserved better treatment than it had received from the press and par ticularly from the press of the com pany's home state. It had rendered an immense service to the public and to the .cause of honesty and decency in the con duct of transportation business when, in the early part of the year 1900. two years before the passage of the Elklns act. It gave notice that no more rebates would be paid and that all shippers, great and small, would be placed upon a basis of perfect equality. It had thus Inaugurated a movement which, having been joined in by other railroads, and aided later by the passage of the. Elklns act, had destroyed a vicious pystem almost as old as the railroads Ihemselves and which had become so deeply rooted that many experienced rail road men doubted the possibility of eradi cating It. The management had done other things that deserved the commendation of the public and of the press. It had taken fhe company out of politics and it had done away with the free pass evil. But the press generally, in its present hostility to the railroads, was only falling in line with an anti-corporation public sentiment which had been created bv some of the leaders of the two great political parties who were trying to outbid each other for popular support by attacking large vested interests indiscriminately. If this course were pursued much longer it could only result in undermining confidence, in . the suspension of improvements, and In gen eral hurtness depression from which the whole country would suffer. Poles to Have a Church. A Polish Roman Catholic Church for this city is now an assured fact, and all details were arranged yesterday at an enthusiastic meeting held at the home of Andrew Czerwinski, on East Seven teenth street. The accomplishment of the end sought Is due chiefly to the liberal donation of Archbishop Christie, who offered a valuable block and build ing on the East Side at Irving and Twentieth streets for the church. Over SO members of the local Polish colony assembled, electing Mr. Gastomskl as chairman. After several short ap peals by those present for completion of the work which has been needlessly de layed for several years, due to a strong opposition on the part of some of the Holes. Father Charles Sleroski addressed the meeting, deploring the fact that the Polish people have no church of their own. He gave a personal contribution oi $200 toward the church, and in less than tive minutes nearly JloOO was pledged Dy the local colony. The meeting denounced the Polish So cialists in this city who have been hin dering the erection pf the church. All assembled pledged themselves to carry the work now commenced on to success and a committee was appointed to solicit further contributions lor the .foilsn church. The Polish colony in and around fort- land consists of over 100 families ana will soon have the first. Polish church In the State of Oregon. STOPPED BY INJUNCTION COURTHOUSE SCHEME SIPPED IN THE BCD. Citizens of Bend Seek to Prevent Construction of Public Building in Prineville. . MADRAS, Or., June J (Special.) An injunction has been served on Judge Bell and Commissioners Stearns and Powell of this county, enjoining them from letting any contract for the con struction of a new courthouse. The suit to enjoin is brought by Charles S. Benson, of Bend, acting for numer ous taxpayers throughout the county, who oppose the building of a new Courthouse at this time. Bids were to be received by the County Clerk until 10 o'clock yesterday morning, and it is believed that the contract was to have been awarded them, so that there was but little time to spare when the papers were served. The purpose of the County Court to let a contract for a new Courthouse was not discovered until about ten days ago, when the notice of the Coun ty Clerk, calling for bids for the con tract for construction of a new Court house, according to the plans of a Sa lem architect, was discovered in the classified ad department of a Portland paper. No official notice had been given in any county paper, nor was there any intimation in any county paper or from the county officials that such a measure was under considera tion. Great indignation has been aroused throughout Western Crook County by this action of the County Court. The western portion of the county com prises the large irrigation section and the new wheat belt of the county, and is the most populous section of the county. Throughout this section the sentiment is unanimous against the construction of any new county build ings at this time. The temporary injunction was se cured upon the grounds that the con struction of a new Courthouse at this time would necessitate an indebtedness of to exceed $5000, which would be in violation of section 10 of article 11 of the constitution of Oregon, which pro vides that "no county shall create any debts or liabilities which shall singly or in the aggregate exceed the sum of JjDOO, except to suppress insurrection or repel invasion." The county has in its general fund something less than $20,000, while a Courthouse such as is contemplated would. It Is believed, cost In the neighborhood of $100,000. The fact that there has been no notice of the intention to build a new Court house and no notice of the call for bids published in any paper in the county, is also alleged in a separate count as a reason for the granting of an injunction. The temporary injunction was grant ed by Judge Bradshaw. of the State Circuit Court." W. H. Wilson, of The Dalles, Is attorney for the complain ants. BORAH TO STUMP IDAHO.

To him there befell the great good fortune which befell all men who were able to play a part worth playing at the time of the great crtsis of our Government. He was one of those who in the Council Chamber, on the stump and on the field of battle upheld the policies of mighty Abraham Lincoln, and he Is remem bered therefore among the men who came to the front In one of the two historic periods of our Government at the time of its foundation and at the time of Its preservation. He was able to prove his fealty to a lofty Idealism by the couree he then took. After the war he was among the most prom inent champions of civil service reform and later of sound money, and In addition to his service as a public man he rendered a very real service to the cause of American letters by his remarkable little biography of Lincoln and his longer biography of Henry Clay, not to speak of his other writings. THEODORB ROOSEVELT. SERMON TO YOUNG PEOPLE Rev. William Vpshaw Speaks on "Royal Road to Happiness." "The Royal Road to Happiness" was the subject of the sermon last night by Rev. William Upshaw at the Mlsslsslppi Avenue Congregational Church, taking for his text, "Happy is the man that findeth wisdom." He spoke of the different roads in life that do not lead to happiness, re ferring to Frank Lamb, a Portland boy, who was driven by order of the court from the home of his birth because he had traveled the wrong road so long that he was no longer regarded fit for Port land society. He also spoke of happiness as a great paradox, as It can coexist with trial, sor row and poverty, and can grow in any soil and rive under any conditions, mass ing on. Rev. Upshaw said: "Happiness has a number of clever Imi tators. Gratification, a harmony between desire and possession, is sometimes taken for happiness, and while It may nave an element of happiness, it is not happiness. Satisfaction is perfect identity of our de sire and possession, and exists only as long as this perfect' union and unity can be preserved. Dissatisfaction. In its highest sense, Is the keynote of our advance. Content Is a greatly overrated virtue, a kind of diluted despair. Content makes the trained individual swallow vinegar and try to smack his Hps as if it were nectar. It is a mental and moral chloroform. There are times when, a man should be content with what he has, but never with what he Is. Pleasure sometimes tries to Imitate happiness, but pleasure is temporary, happiness continuous. Pleasure may have its dregs and leave a dark brown taste In the mouth, but none can be found in the cup of happiness. "Man Is the only animal that can toe really happy, but no man can make his own happiness the one object in life and attain It any more than he can inmn on the fag end of his own shadow. The "basis of happiness is the love of something outside of seir tne lnwara nnamv rather than the outward show, like the old violin that may be brown and black and split and splintered and mended again and again and homely to the eye as anything can possibly be and yet worth a thousand dollars, while other violins may be edged with silver, inlaid with gold and covered all over with mother of pearl and perfectly gor geous to a baby's eye, and yet, so far as producing music, not worth 30 cents. You can buy pleasure and can become satis fled, but nature never put real happiness on the bargain counter. "There is a 'royal r.oad to happiness..' It lies in consecration, concentration, con quest. Consecrate your life to the serv ice of others, to some noble mission, and then concentration will cut away all the shams and pretences and reduce it to its truest essentials, and when chance to win fame, wealth, success as the attain ment of your heart's desire by sacrifice of honor or principle, comes to you it does not effect you long enough to be even a temptation. That is conquest, and Is part of the royal road to happiness. And then when you can stay alone with your conscience and get its approval with out using force, you are beginning to know what happiness Is."

He INJURED BY COLLAPSE OF iV. - - .A - if t St 1 f . t y.til f v UXCOLX J. BEECHEY. Lincoln J. Beechey, the Intrepid 19-year-old boy aeronaut who -waa injured by the collapse of an airship while making a flight over Luna Park, In Cleve land, O., became famous at the Lewis and Clark Exposition and Is known all over the United States because of the wonderful feats accomplished by him at the Fair. With the airship City of Portland, he made one successful flight after another over the Exposition grounds, and his wonderful exhibitions were wit nessed by thousands of persons. Lincoln Beechy and the airship City of Portland furnished probably the most remarkable attraction of the Lewis and Clark Ex position. The greatest feat accomplished by Beechey, and one- which is recognized aa beintr the most wonderful flight ever made by an airship, was when he alighted on top of the Chamber of Commerce building. Leaving the aerodrome at the Ex poet t ion grounds, be directed the cigar-shaped craft straight to the Chamber of Commerce building, on the roof of which he brought it to rest. There he was met by an assemblage of representative citizens who showered him with con gratulations. Casting loore, he then made a abort circle of the business district and returned to the Fair grounds, landing with perfect ease. He waa in the air less than three-auarters of an hour. Although of an unassuming disposition and very bashful among Btrangers, Beechey was almost idolized by the employes at the Exposition grounds. All who witnessed his exhibitions could not help being impressed with the great courage of the lad and were filled with admiration for him. Those who knew him person ally say that the dreadful sensations of fear were something entirely unknown to Beechey and that he felt as much at ease thousands of feet in the air as he did when he was standing upon solid earth. But his courage was not of the reckless and daredevil type, as he has the keenest judgment and Is self-possessed to an unusual degree when it comes to airship flights. He was thoroughly wedded to' his work and unless he is killed he will undoubtedly continue his ex periments as long as he Is physically able to do so. Captain Baldwin," the Cali fornia aeronaut, travels with Beechey and is his Instructor. Because of his heavy weight. Captain Baldwin never makes any more ascensions and leaves that part of the work to Beechey.
