THE MOUSING OREGONIAN, 3IOXDAT, MARCH 11, 1907. -f r SHERIFF TALKS. ABOUT "GRAFT" Agrees With Judge .Webster That It Is an "Ugly Word to Use." 'HAS MANY APPLICATIONS" County's Peace Officer Also Tells What He Thinks Is Real Issue In Controversy Over Feed ing of Prisoners. Once more there is trouble over the feedinn of Multnomah County's prison ers. Those who linger on the fringe of things, may have had a notion that when the Legislature placed the feeding and the custody of the prisoners in the hands of the Sheriff, the efforts of the County Court and the County Commissioners, would he stilled. But not so. Saturday Judge Webster and his commissioners an nounced they were about to invoke the referendum and thereby to defeat the art of the Legislature. This announcement, coming as it did. just when It looked aK If peace between the Sheriffs office and the County Court room had been declared, once more threw the contesting people into a stormy state of mind. In one interview given out. Judge Vebster is quoted, and the word "graft" was used. When Sheriff Stevens read the Interview, he grew exceedingly warm in the region of the" collar. A number of Stevens' friends also had a merry time discussing the announced determination of Judge Webster and his County Com missioners. Some of them were of the opinion that the tax payers of the county would be asked to foot the bills for circulating I he referendum petitions, but Judge Webster seated last night, that while he did not know by whom the expense would be borne Multnomah County would not have to foot the bills. To Expense to County. "The cost of paying for the printing and circulating the petitions will not amount to anything." he said. "Mr. Lightner told me. but I can't recall the nanies now, that several people had come to him and had expressed a willingness to pay the expenses of getting up and circulating the petitions. Oh. no, it will not cost the county a cent." When Sheriff Stevens was seen, he was at first inclined to pass the matter by without comment, but his attention was called to the word "graft" and here is what he said: "I had thought to pay no more atten tion to Judge Webster's malicious per secution in this matter of feeding prison ers. The matter had come before the Legislature, and that body, in spite of the energetic and underhanded lobbying of Judge Webster, had decided that the Sheriff and not the County Court was the proper custodian of the prisoners. "The point at issue, which by the way, Judge Webster carefully conceals in all of his elaborate and vainglorious inter views, is, shall the Sheriff have full charge of the prisoners, or shall they be turned over to the custody of the County Court. "The remuneration per meal allowed me by the Legislature, as every fair minded man familiar with the cost of serving meals, knows. Is so small that there is little or no profit in it. but I preferred to assume the risk of financial loss that 1 might at all times, have charge of the prisoners for whom, by the law, I am held accountable. Question of Accounting. "Judge Webster continues to harp en the low cost at which prisoners are fed at Kelly Butte hy the County Commis sioners. But he has never yet explained how much of this low cost was obtained at the expense of the tax payers. The frequent $-per-day sittings of the County Commissioners, for the purpose of holding down the average price of meals must Burely be included in the cost of the mealii when there is no other reason for holding these per-dlem-securlng confabs. It would also be interesting to know whether or not any of the enormous in crease In roads and bridges expense ac count is traceable to 8-cent meals'. "Of course any man possessed with suf ficient Intelligence to think or act in a rational manner knows that with whole some food at present high prices, it is Impossible for decent meals to be served at S cents each. If, however, there are opportunities for dividing the cost among other branches of the work, there is no reason why a culinary expert like Judge Webster should not get them down to a penny apiece, or even show a profit by supplying them to the prisoners. "The judge is quoted in one of the morning papers as stating that 'Graft Is an ugly word to use.' That TgIy Word." "I asree w-!th the judge on that point. Whether the obnoxious word Is used in connection with the feeding of the prison er or by some unsuccessful dealer who has been barred from competition in the sale of a rook crusher, it has a harsh cound. It is unpleasant to hear it as we often do in connection with decisions handed down by individuals more notor ious than eminent. It is not softened any when used as a synonym for the stipend which a man receives for private law practice which Is engaged in on time which is paid for by the county. "I have no use for graft or grafters. Primrose Minstrels at: The Heilig NO theatrical season Is really complete without a visit from that perennial youthful prince of minstrels. George Primrose and his merry men. For more years than I can think of Just at this time Primrose has been catering to Amer ican amusement- lovers and has never yet handed them a lemon. His name has come to be a guarantee and the public never doubts that a good show is in pros pect when the Primrose bills begin to blossom on the dead walls. Last night -was the occasion of another call from what Is probably the best min strel organization In the country. The show was a continuous hurrah from the moment the interlocutor said "Be seated gentlemen." From time immemorial it has "been the accepted procedure in such cases for the middle man to invite the gentlemen to be seated and for the end men to Immediately commence the recital of their domestic troubles. It was so last night and will probably continue that way until the last minstrel has sung his lay and gone to join Billy Emerson and Jack Haverly. There were some new Jokes last night, however not enough of them to offend the traditions but some. Primrose himself cracked some new ones concerning Portland, as he discovered it away back in the dark ages. He Is still and I most emphatically resent the use of such a term in connection with the nominal pay given me by the Legisla ture for feeding the prisoners. I think the members of the Legislature who passed the bill will compare favorably with their critic on this matter. "After all it is simply a question of whether the Sheriff or the County Court shall be the custodian of the prisoners. All this alleged economical move is brought in for the purpose of raising a dust, and hiding the real issue. I con tend that I was elected for the purpose of taking charge of prisoners, and I shall endeavor to fulfill my obligations to the people regardless of how much of the County's money may be spent by those who are seeking to usurp rights which the law never Intended they should have. "I trust that the philanthropic Judge Webster, who is animated solely by a desire to save money for the tax payers, will see that the expense for this latest attempt to hamper my administration is paid out of his own pocket. I should dislike very much to have it charged up against the Kelly Butte meal account. It might effect the remarkable average, or necessitate a reduction in the number of abbreviated Commissioners' meetings." TELLS OF FIJI MIS&IOXARY DESCRIBES WORK IX SOUTH SEAS. Miss Lucy Broad Says Gospel Has Done Much to Civilize the Rude Natives. Miss Lucy Broad, who attended the world's W. C. T. U. convention at Bos ton p.s international delegate from the Fiji Islands, gave a lecture last night at the Hawthorne Park Presbyterian Church on "The Habits, Customs and Progress of the Fiji People." Miss Broad represents the AV. C. T. U. in her work largely, and "she has spent nine years as a missionary In the South Sea Islands and ofher parts of the world. She gave a graphic word picture of the Fiji islands and described the customs of the people and the progress they had made toward Christian civilization. "This progress," said Miss Broad, "has not been made through the government or any Influence outside that of the mis sionaries, who have gone among them to spread the Gospel. It ha been, through the influence of the Gospel carried to these people by the missionaries that these people in the past 50 years have been taught to drop their cannibal practices-." Miss Broad told of the audiences at the mi&ionary stations, and said as she looked into the faces of the strange peo ple she could see the latent cannibal, re strained only by the Christian religion. The speaker told of the country, of Its fruits and of the houses of the people and their clothing. In speaking of the progress they had made from cannibal ism she declared they have done reinark ably well. Miss Broad traced the prog ress of the race from cannibalism, when the natives sometimes used the bodies of missionaries for food, to the present, and gave the missionary credit for heroic and self-sacrifice and said they freely laid down their Uvea that these people of the Sfouth Sea Islands might have the sunshine of the Gospel. She said that the missionaries were all temperance people and welcomed the special worker in their midst. In the course of her lecture Miss Broad retired to put on, some of the garments of the Fiji women, and during her ab sence an offering was taken for her ben efit. On her return she explained In de tail the different parts of the garments ehe wore. At the close of her address Miss Broad said: "I trust that In my talk I have inter ested you in this work to some extent at least. Not for any one church, hut for the whole missionary work. By next Sunday I shall be on my way to Japan, there fo hold up the lamp of the Gos pel." I Following the lecture, many of the au dience came forward to greet Miss Broad and bid her godspeed on her voyage to Japan. She goes in response to an urgent call made at the world's convention. She has received a most hearty welcome here and said she would carry away from Portland the most pleasing recollections of the women of the W. C. T. U. At the meeting last night. Mrs. L. H. Aodlton and many of the prominent W. C. T. U. leaders were present. Miss Broad will leave for Seattle today or. her way to Japan. Christ the Hope of the Cities. Rev. Alexander McGregor, of St. Paul. Minn., spoke at the First Congregational Church last night on "Jesus Christ and the City." He said Christ is pre-eml-nenfly the hope of civilization in our cities today. He said that Mammonism is dominating society, and that what men need is more disinterestedness. Bev. Mr. McGregor also spoke at ' the T. M. C. A. men's meeting yesterday afternoon, advising all the young men fo lead lives above reproach. His text was taken from I. John. xi:14. A fea ture of this, meeting was- several violin solos by Waldemar Lind, of the Port land Hotel orchestra. Rev. Mr. McGregor left last night for St. Paul. Talks on Origin of Races. Rev. Clarence True Wilson spoke at the Grace Methodist Church yesterday' morning on "A Present Blessing," his text being Rom. x:o. in the evening he gave the first of his series, of talks on "Israel's Ten Lost Tribes and the Anglo-Saxon Race." Last night he told of "Jacob's Pillow Pillar 'stone." The Anglo-Saxon, race, he said, is descended from the tribes that were lost when Nebuchadnezzar took the Israelites cap tive to Babylon. These lectures are. il lustrated with the stereopticon. the most graceful and expert soft-shoe dancer who ever tripped a step, and his dancing is as big a feature this year as ever. It is an old-fashioned', genuine minstrel show. The men are all In burnt cork and the old melodies are still retained, prop erly so, because they are the best. The only decided Innovation is the ap pearance of Mrs. George H. Primrose, the handsome young wife of "the governor," who proves to be a prima donna soprano, with a . voice of excellent compass and splendid quality. Mrs. Primrose sang the waltz song from "Princess Bonpie." and Shubert's Serenade exqulsltetly. This is the first time a woman has ever appeared here in a minstrel "first part." but the experiment is entirely successful. The company is unusually good vocally, and all the songs were encored. The comedians, Xeal Abel, Emlle Subers and Eddie Horan. are more than usually funny, the monologue contributed by Su bers being especially entertaining. The cadet drill, the comedy skit and the sil ver clog prove very popular with the au dience and the closing number, a spectac ular transformation scene, is beautiful. Almost everybody likes a good minstrel show, consequently almost everybody should see the Primrose Company. To night's performance will be the last of the engagement.

Mayor Lane will take a. hand In the strike situation when outside in tervention Is considered necessary for the best interests of the public, Employes In veneer works at St. Johns formulate demand for mini mum wage of $2.50 a day for nine hours work. Box factory employes demand 3' a day for nine hours' work. Striking -millhands will this week seek to close all of the aaoh and door factories of Portland and vicinity. Contractors fear building opera tions, with the dependent Industries, must soon cease. "As yet, I have not felt warranted In. Interfering in any way with the pending dispute between the millhands and the millowners," said Mayor Lane last night. "But when the Interests of the general public are Involved, to the extent that Intervention Is neces sary, I will give the matter my atten tion. "Thus far, the strikd has been a peaceful affair, laelclng of all unneces sary annoyance and disturbance. Both sides appear fixed as to their conten tions, and each would probably resent any interference. But when the inter ests of the public require, some steps will probably be taken looking to the settlement of the difficulty. "In all strikes the general public suffers the most. The Interests of the public are paramount to the interests of either of the contending factions. There should be some statutory remedy providing for compulsory arbitration, and prescribing regulations for the ad justment of these disagreements." The striking millhands held several meetings yesterday at the headquar ters of the Industrial Workers of the World. 282 Burnslde street, and at 309 Davis street. During the afternoon the men employed In the veneer works at St. Johns held a meeting and formu lated a demand for a 'minimum age of $2.50 a day for nine hours' work, the same compensation that has been asked by the lumber-mill workers. The box-workers have also agreed, and will demand a minimum scale of $3 for a day of nine hours. These demands will be presented to the employers by the strike officers today or Tuesday. Last night another general strike meeting was held at 309 Davis street, when plans were outlined for continu ing the strike. An effort will be made this week to close all of the sash and dotr factories in Portland and vicin ityi There are .nearly a dozen of these plants, which furnish employment for nearly 1000 men. The first direct effect of the shut down of the lumber mills is already being felt. With the brisk demand for lumber that prevailed for some time previous to the enforced lockout, the product of the lumber mills was being disposed of as rapidly as It could be manufactured. The result was that when the mills closed down none of the plants had on hand anv consider able quantity of lumber. The limited supply consisted largely of broken stock, and tht requirements of the extensive building operations In and about Portland will exhaust this re serve within a short time.
