THE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1907. SCATHING ATTACK THE FOLD Atlanta Baptist Ministers Do Not Spare John D. Rockefeller. A ROBBER AND HYPOCRITE No Praise Duo for $32,000,000 Gift. Refuse to Indorse Letter of Thanks and Put Mi nority to Silence. ATLANTA. Ga.. Feb. 22. (Special.) One of the most scathing attacks yet made in a conference session In Atlanta upon any man, .layman or minister, was that on John D. Rockefeller, oil king, when a prominent minister In Atlanta, whose name ranks high In the city, at the mealing of the Baptist ministers of this city and vicinity proposed that the ministers present indorse a letter he had written to Mr. Rockefeller commending him for the Ktft of $32,000,000 to education. No sooner had he taken his seat' than a dozen ministers were on their feet, clam oring to be heard, and, as one preacher after another had his say, the oil king was held up in a most unenviable light. He was termed a robber of the poor, who took money from those "who needed it most and illegitimately held a large part of. his wealth through the methods he had used in securing it, and one of the ministers stated that the man who intro duced the resolution had no right in the conference. Mr. Rockefeller was called a hypocrite and said to be unchristian. There were present at the meeting some two or three ministers who were in favor of the letter, but they were so overwhelmingly in the minority that they had little chance to express their views. It was the unanimous sense of the meeting that there was no occasion for such a letter to Mr. Rockefeller, and that, moreover, he was not a fit subject for such a letter, as he was only giving back to the people a part of what he had taken from those able to spare it least. As soon as the meeting was over the reporters in attendance were corralled and, under threat of being barred from all future conferences, promised to sup press the story. To make doubly sure, ' the papers were also interviewed by lead ing spirits and asked to suppress the item. The story lias not appeared locally. Dr. Millard was chairman of the meeting, and opposed the Indorsement of the Rockefeller gift. Dr. White in troduced the letter and Dr. Broughton led the hostile opposition. SPEAKS FOR STATE RIGHTS Archbishop Kiordan Opposes Roose velt's Japanese Policy. IX)S ANGELES. Cal.. Feb. 22. Arch bishop Patrick W. Rlordan, of San Fran. Cisco, of the Roman Catholic Church, who has been in Pasadena for a few days past, is quoted in an interview here today on the subject of the compromise at Washington on the Japanese question as follows: "It appears to me that President Roose velt has made a serious mistake In his treatment of the question of San Fran cisco's provision for Japanese in the pub lic, schools. I do not believe that we should be called upon to provide schools for; these people. They do not come here Intending to become citizens. Their ideals are different. Their morals are different. Let them provide schools for themselves. "They say that we must admit Japan ese children up to 16 years of age into our- schools. I. think that our people will not do It. There are 50.000 Japanese In California, I am told. They are still coming, and are likely to continue to come. Phall the state not have the right to Heal with these people? The prerogatives of the individual state have been slip ping away from it gradually, but I think that this one we should still guard zeal ously. President Roosevelt is wrong." Will Come Through Mexico. HONOLULU, Feb. 22.-It Is said that Japanese laborers now in Hawaii, who desire to enter the United States propose to do so by going through Mexico. NO PEACE WITH CHURCH Bishops Object to Terms of Leases Dictated by State. PARIS, Feb. 22. In an authoritative 4 statement today, the Croix, organ of the church, defines the attitude of the epis copacy with reference to the negotiations between, the coadjutor archbishop of Paris. Monsignor Arrriette and the pre fect of the Seine, M. de . Selves, as fol lows: The bishops do not accept the con tracts which make the parish priests re sponsible for Important structural re pairs of the churches or the contracts containing a clause excluding secularized members of the dissolved orders from acting as parish priests, saying that to do so would be a recognition of the law of associations. Further, the bishops look upon the Inclusion of a similar em bargo on foreign priests as an insult to the former's patriotism." Monelgnor Amlette will not take the initiative to resume the interrupted ne gotiations, which therefore may be said to. have terminated until further orders. EIGHTEEN SAILORS DROWNED Vessel Goes Ashore and Smashes. Crew All Swept Away. COPENHAGEN, Feb. 22. An unknown threft-masted vessel, probably Norwegian, went ashore off Fjaltrlng, upon the. west coast of Jutland, today. Owing to the violence of the gale, is was impossible to send out the lifeboats. Five rocket lines were fired at the vessel without success and she broke up completely. Her crew of 18 men clung for a time to the rigging, but when the masts went by the board the sailors were swept away and drowned. Anarchists Threaten Judge. MADRID. Feb. 22. The campaign of the anarchists to save Senor Ferrer, di rector of the modern school of anarch ists at Barcelona, who is accused of hav ing aided Morales, -the man who tried Itokklli King Alfonso and Queen Victoria WITH N on their wedding- day. has 'got to the threatening stage. as the date of Fer rer's trial approaches. The public prose cutor, the Judge and some of the Min isters have received letters threatening them with death if Ferrer is convicted. This campaign of violence Is being vig orously combated by the police, who have taken measures to protect those threatened. Ferrer thus far has been unable to se cure an advocate to defend him. The trial will begin on April 1. Panic In Japanese Stock Market. TOKIO. Feb. 22 The fall in p'rices in the stock market, which has persisted for a week past, was accentuated today when quotations showed marked de creases. The pessimism is attributed in some quarters to the session held by the committee of the House of Peers yesterday to hear explanations regarding the budget from members of the govern ment. The relapse is also regarded as recognition of the fact that it is time to call a halt of the recent mania for speculation and the promotion of com panies. Scandal In French Army. PARIS. Feb. 22. The opposition news papers are trying to create a scandal out of the loss of the 'French cruiser Jean Bart, which they claim was notori ously unfit to go to sea.

The cruiser was on the way to the West In dies, first touching at Dakar, in order to land a soientiflc party when she was wrecked. Ovation to Dead Matador. CADIZ. Feb. 22.

REVOLT ON LAND QUESTION (Continued From First Page.) a slaughter-house in Chicago, simply through political Influence to investi gate the public domain of the country." After further debate the amendment was adopted, 107 to 104. Proceeding with the sundry civil bill, the House defeated the amendment of fered by Keifer of Ohio, appropriating $100,000 for the transportation of minor coin, by a vote of 102 to 93, but this action was followed by adopting an amendment appropriating $30,000 for the transporta tion of fractional silvea coin by registered mail or otherwise. Clark of Florida, criticised the manage ment of St. Elizabeth's (Government) In sane Asylum, declaring that the present superintendent "is wholly inefficient." After Clark and his supporters had made a bitter fight on the St. Elizabeth Hos pital, an appropriation of $25,000 to buy additional ground for the hospital was voted out of the bill, and Clark an nounced that he would end the filibuster ing which he had kept up for two days. Kahn of California spoke in support of the appropriation for a store-house at Dover. N. J., for a reserve supply of war material. He urged the necessity of preparing for war in time of peace, and mentioned the war now on in Central America as an Indication that this conti nent cannot remain permanently at peace. The committee rose at 6:35, having com pleted 119 pages of the sundry civil bill. A resolution favorably reported by the House committee on interstate and for eign commerce was adopted, which pro vides that the Secretary of Commerce and Labor shall report to the House what Information his department has as to the control of coastwise steamship lines cy railways. Clark, in speaking on his resolution calling upon the Secretary of War for a statement of the amount of money the Philippine Islands have cost the United States, condemned the war with Spain as unnecessary and pronounced the pur chase of the Philippines a "serious blun der and a most grievous wrong." "When we purchased the islands ar.3 this alien race with them," he said, "the deed was nothing more or less than traffic in human beings, and it is no greater wrong for individuals to traffic in humanity than It is for nations to make bargain and sale of human be ings. "Within the last few days I have heard gentlemen on this floor speak of our colonial possessions. This smacks of empire.. It' breathes of imperialism. It suggests royalty. It does not indicate the simplicity of republican government, where every citizen is a sovereign, but it produces visions of kingly rule." On motion of Payne of New York the resolution was laid upon the table, 165 to 103. Record of Van Meter's Slayer. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Feb. 22. Ernest Silvers, who shot and killed Harry S.

PLAYS THE CRITIC Governor Higgins Finds Flaws ' in Washington. AS STATESMAN, SOLDIER Says He Was Surpassed by Others In Both Fields, but Speaker Burch ard Quotes Frederick In Washington's Defense. PROVIDENCE. R. I., Feb. 22.-Governor James Higgins addressed a joint session of the Legislature today on "Washing ton and His Times," and was severely criticized by Roswell B. Burchard, Speak er of the House. Mr. Higgins referred to Washington's great abilities as a leader, and said that he was born at an opportune time and that he seized oppor tunities at the right time. "It has been pointed out," he said, "that in no walks of life did he ever rise to the immense proportions of a genius. It would be unfair to compare him as a statesman with either Benton, Clay or Sumner. As a soldier he is surpassed by Napoleon, Caesar and Alexander. Even In our country his ability on the field of battle perhaps did not approach the masterly strategic powers of Robert E. Lee or Phil Sheridan or V. S. Grant. Mr. Burchard in reply said: "Even in his excellent address, the Gov ernor could not refrain from picking moles out of the sunbeam of George Washington's memory. I must respect fully say to his excellency that on the trifling points which he has seen fit to produce I must differ. It is no evidence of George Washington's lack of education that he did not spell In the manner of today. In military affairs it Is a great mistake to. think that Washington was not preeminent as a strategist. To this effect we have the evidence of the great est general of Europe, Fredrick the Grat of Prussia, who wrote of Washington as the greatest soldier of his generation. I will not admit that any of the generals of the Ci'il War were his superiors in military art." TAKE AWAY NURSING BOTTLE Tariff Revision Cure for Trusts, Says Schurman. OMAHA, Feb. 22. Washington's birth day was generally observed in Omaha by a suspension of business and appropriate ceremonies. The most notable event in honor of the day was the annual dinner of the Omaha Club, at which the prin cipal speakers were Dr. Jacob Gould Schurman. president of Cornell Univer sity, and colonel James Hamilton Lewis, Corporation Counsel of Chicago. Dr. Schurman discussed "Some Present Day Problems." referring to the tendency of the present time toward the concen tration of capital and the accompanying danger of trade monopoly, he said: There are remedies within reach which may be used at any time. In the first place, trusts which are monopolistic and oppress ive may be deprived of the advantages which they now enjoy- as a result of tariff or other legislation. If any tariff schedule does. actually enable. a trust to exploit the people for its own enrichment, that tariff schedule is doomed, no matter how much talk there may be of the sanctity of the tariff or the solemn duty of standing pat. A second remedy is .a better regulation of corporations and trusts in the interests of the public. Perhaps we may see the big corporations legally enjoined from charging markedly different prices for the same com modity in different parts' of the country for the sole purpose of freezing out inde pendent rivals. The speaker then went on to discuss recent revelations of corrupt practices in business and official life. He argued that the fault lay in the fact that the leaders of great industries have not developed as rapidly in their moral natures as in their economic and financial capacities. Dr. Schurman dJd not. however, consider this a hopeless condition. He said: In the ancient world traders and mer chants were despised and associated with robbers and pirates, but the merchant of today is one of the very best types of our civiliza:lon, and In the modern development of vast affairs and high finance I doubt not we shall ere long see the same control of moral principle which already dominates the ancient avenues of trade and commerce. The speaker then referred to the more radical remedies proposed for existing evils. He denied that so far the ex periments in state and municipal owner ship of public utilities had resulted In any appreciable benefit, although he did not oppose that system. He said, how ever: 1 dread the bureaucracy which Govern ment ownership of American railroads (as proposed by W. J. Bryan) would make In evitable. P-(o government In the world is qualified to go into the railroad business, and least of all, the Government of the United States. 'which draws Its life from the party politics and in which all admin istrations are necessarily short lived. ' The speaker said he could not agree with President Roosevelt as to the threatened danger from "swollen for tunes." "The danger I see," he said, "comes not from swollen fortunes but from stolen fortunes." DO NOT OVERDO LEGISLATION' Archbishop Ireland Pleads for Lib erty and Justice to Capital. ST. PAUL, Feb. 22. Archbishop Ireland, In an address today at the Association of the American Revolution celebration of Washington's birthday, spoke of the tendency to over-legislation. He said: It was the intention of the fathers of the republic that political liberty was to be the guardian and the protector of civil liberty. We have too many laws; our Legislatures are too anxious to Increase the bulk of the statute book. The mania for legislation fre quently shelters Itself under the name- of moral reform. Far from me to oppose pru dent legislation for the betterment of morality. But far from me also to approve the moral legislation which at best promisee no results to compensate an abridgement of public civil liberty, whlcn assumes so to cover the ground of morals that no room remains for the free-willed cltisen of con science, which by its pettiness and nar rowness annoys and Irritates and defeats. rather than assists the very purpose It pro noses as its correction. Today another form of legislative mania arises from the Industrial restlessness into which our times have brought us. Here again let there be laws to punish Injustice and wrong doing, whether on the part of the weakling or the strong, on that of the laborer or of the capitalist. Let there be laws wisely reaching out to the encourage ment of social peace and of social prosper ity, to the bidding nigh of the fair vision of legitimate democracy, equal industrial rights for all, equal opportunities for talent and for energy. But let us be on our guard that in the pursuit of justice we do not bring on injustice, that in coveting social prosperity we do not encounter social dis aster and chaos. Above all other things, let us be sure to dispoil ourselves of all their envy. Jealousy, hatred, in our clamorlngs for industrial legislation. There is in the land today the illusion that many men may become rich through legislation in ueu oi toll, talent and econ omy, that to build up one class naught else is needed than to pull down another, ard there Is growing up among us a hatred of success In others, however much that sac- PORTLAND Shop Men's Wear Saturday A Hose and Underwear Spcls WOMEN'S VESTS, plain white woven cotton, with high neck and long sleeves, neatly made and trimmed; worth VZf 35c each; special &JC WOMEN'S VESTS, white Swiss ribbed cotton, low neck, sleeve less style; worth 35c 0J each; special t2- WOMEN'S VESTS, while lisle, high neck', long or short sleeves, knee length pants to match worth 25c, 35c and 50c. 152 Special, garment xOC oyal Society Embroidery Floss Here it This new embroidery cotton is manufactured from mercerized sea island luster and the same line of STRICTLY FAST COLORS as wash silks, and the 'Tis a perfect substitute for silk, and comes in six sizes, in hard twist and three sizes in the softer twist, as well as two large sizes for Kensington, satin stitch, Biedermaier and Venetian or shadow embroidery.

That accumulation of capital, corporations or trusts, may have had their faults and may need to be watched over by the state with diligence and care I shall not deny. But I do deny that accumulations of cap ital and corporations are to be prejudged as guilty, that men having part In them are to be deemed almost as without right to work, without right to fair play, which is the native appanage of all Americans. And I deny that all men are equally talented, far-seeing, equally industrious, that conse quently all are more or less entitled to an equal possession of wealth or an equal In dustrial reward. I deny that society can ever be without its rich and its compara tively poor, that American industry and en terprise can ever thrive and hold their own in world-wide competition without there being here and there, ministering to Its needs, large accumulations of .wealth and consequently large gatherings of men into associations as contributors to this wealth. Destroy great enterprises, make impossible the unification of many Industrial energies and. If equality there comes, it will be equality of mediocrity and social poverty. Let there toe. I say again, legislation, but legislation with eye single to the general welfare, which Is fostered by justice to all, by ylsdom in adoption of methods, by full recognition of the laws of nature In the In dustrial life of men, in economic relations of one class of men toward another, and of all . classes of men toward the Nation at large.
