THE MORXrXG OREG0XIAX, TUESDAY MAY 7, 1907. 11 GOLD LI SEVERS F Juvenile Elopement Stopped at the Station by Blue-Coated Minion of the Law. CRUEL JUDGE DOES REST lecree That Helen Harris, Would Be Bride of Ernest Bradley, Shall Go to Her Parents, AVho Re side in Southern Oregon. Just how cold, calculating and cruel the law can be at times was forcibly empha sized, yesterday, when it separated two Juvenile who had attempted to elope, and wtio said they could not live without each other. Regardless of the risk that the two might not survfve. It was decreed by the Municipal Court that the paths of the loverg must not again converse. While suffering Intently, both had an even break for ultimate recovery up to the hour of froing to press. Now this elopement would hav been very romantic except that the planning of it was poorJy done. It started under the most favorable auspices but the denoue ment was sudden, unexpected and disas trous. Miss Helen Harris and Rrnes-t Bradley, two cupld-strlrken juveniles, were the tuckless. elopers, and had they been suc cessful In their plans, truth once more would have been outstripped in its own name. Ten days ago they met for the first time. In ten minutes they were suffering from that form of mental de rangement sometimes defined as love for want of a better description. In half an hour they were engaged to be married. They lost no time in setting the wedding day. And here was where their troubles commenced. Harris is 20. Wh?n a person of 20 wishes to marry he must ask papa, for 20 years do not remove one from the pale of childhood, in the eyes of the law. Papa, in this particular instance, object ed arduously. Hence the plans for elope ment. Astoria was their destination when they set out Sunday nitfht. There a minister was to he hunted up and their fortunes were to be tied into a neat matrimonial packet. They got as far as the train be fore a person wearing a blue coat and an ominous expression, bore down upon ihem and declared the pre-nuptial wed ding trip at an end. The officer exhib ited a warrant wherein the young people wre accused of a trumped-up charge as an excuse for their detention. Tears and other forms of emotional grief stood them 1n no need. When their case was presented yester day Judge Cameron heard much evidence tending to show that the young people are not sufficiently mature or discreet for so serious an undertaking as matrimony. He decided that tneir roads lay apart and the bride-to-have-been was sent to her parenrs. in Southern Oregon. Bradley was detained in jail overnight to prevent a second attempt at elopement. Should be survive th night, persons experienced in such matters express the belief that he will have forgotten the incident. The sotto voce is In trouble. The sotto voce personifies that ubiquit Dus creature who attends free public functions and works as the "voice in the audience" so often quoted by the press, so often the cause of acute discomfort to-the most consummate masters of re pa rtee. tins Hartman Is such a person and he figured extensively in the campaign pre ceding the. primaries. ' Hartman is a Nihilist Judging by his pessimistic ques tions. His penchant has been to attend Republican meetings and ask all sorts of impertinent questions. He went to the wrong rally last Friday night. Judge Cameron was there and heard the Hart man questions which became so inane and noisy that the "voice in the audience" was kicked out of the meeting and turned over to the police. The "Voice when arraigned in the Municipal Court denied the charge against him, of having disturbed a public meet ing. Having witnessed the disturbance, the Judge was not willing to believe all Hartman said as regards the mildness of his conduct. Hartman will be the "voice on the rockpile" during the next ten days. Ed Hoffman, an employe of the O. R. -& N. section force, has come to grief be cause of his right to vote. Believing every citizen should exercise this prerogative on election day, Hoff man took a leave of absence and jour neyed in from Troutdale by foot. Short ly, after reaching the city he fell in with ward politicians who invited him to wash the. dust of travel from his throat with something they had provided for just such an emergency. These kind-hearted persons also imparted to him free infor mation aa rraardg thr proper porsuns to vot fr. They received him in good fellowship and be was one of the boys as he went up to the polls and voted. When he came unsteadily out the voting booth nobody knew him. . Half an hour later he was thrown roughly into the patrol wagon and transferred to the cold-storage department of the city Jail. And ho will do no more work for the railroad com pany during the next five days, that pe riod having been claimed by rockpile du ties. PLEA FOR "MERCY" SUNDAY Pastors rrgcrt to lroach Kindness to Animals. PORTLAND. May 6. (To the Jvd ttor.) Referring to a notice in The Oregonian. April 2b, under the heading. '"A Mercy Sunday." would ask tne pub liction ot a brief outline of the pro posed movement. The Oregon Humane Society, having received a quantity of leaflets setting forth the reasons and honi'fils which would arise from one -rmon every year from the various pudpits of our country on the subject f "Mercy." will distribute the leaflets imons; the clergy of Portland, asking !hat they arrange to sot apart one Sun Say in each year devoted to the great iaw of kindness and mercy, of which tneir divine leader was foremost, and once .said: "Because he hath pity on every living creature, therefore is man called holy." and we are also taught that "blessed are tnc merciful. The organized humanitarians of the United States, representing some 300 societies devoted to the suppression of cruelty and the protection of the help less, with a membership of over 50.000 adults and more than 2,310.000 children enrolled in "Band of Mercy" work, most earnestly petition all clergymen in tnls country to take up this long neglected - part of their duty. Christ stood as the greatest humani tarian the werid ever knew. It ia a Tl OND HEARTS significant tact that our Saviour was cradled in a manager, and: that Mary, crowded out of the inn or caravan sary, found shelter with the beasts of burden and the cattle of the field, and brought forth the Prince of Peace in a common stable. It was literally true, as we sing at Christmas time "Cold on his cradle the Dewdrops are shining. lw lies his head with The beasts of the stall."' The dictates of the human heart and of religion are agreed that kindness to animals is a sacred duty. We read in Scripture: "A righteous man re gardeth the life of his beast." Jacob was studiously careful for his flocks and herds, and treated then with omethlng of the tenderness he be stowed upon his children. The life of an animal is sacred like our own. and may not be wantonly destroyed. Cowper has said: "T would not enter on my list of friends. Though graced with polished manners and fine sense. Yet wanting sensibility, the man Who needlessly sets foot upon a worm." There Is Scripture authority for saying that you will be called to account for your treatment of animals, and that God will hold you responsible for every act of cruelty. The men and women who have defend ed animals have not been weak, sentimen tal and silly, as is sometimes averred; on the contrary, they have expressed the most enlightened and thoughtful circles of society. Arthur Helfis and Earl Stanhope have been outspoken friends of the brute crea tion: Cowper has described cruelty in lines of peculiar power and spirit; Dr. Chambers made the subject a matter of pulpit discussion; Leigh Hunt declares that when we injure animals for sport, or otherwise, "we injure also our own hu manity"; Robert Southey thought it not beneath him to write a letter to some young men who had maltreated a cat: and Stuart Mill, in the closing chapter of his "Political Kconomy," pronounces In favor of legal interference for the protection of animals: truly and beautifully Ruskin de scribes the attitude a good and noble man assumes toward the animals. There Is perhaps. In all the "Iliad," noth ing more deep in significance, and noth ing in literature more perfect in human tenderness and honor for the mysteries of inferior life than the verses that de scribe the sorrow of the divine horses at the death of Pntrocles. and the comfort given them by the greatest of gods. Mrs. Somervllle. at the age of 9, wrote In her 'memoirs' as follows: "I cannot believe that any creature was created for in oompensate misery: it would be contrary to the attribute of God's mercy and jus tice." Thus could the writer continue placing before the reader quotations from some of the greatest thinkers of -all ages wherein the brute creatures have been made the subject of poetry and song, and much of the literature of today Is made more readable and entertaining by sketches of the lives of our animal friends. Humane societies are opening the way. in part, to the rapidly coming event wherein peace, kindness, justice and mercy shall cover the earth. The peace commissions gath ered from all parts of the world have en tered upon the grandest principles that man has ever known, and embodies a sacred sentiment in the hearts of the hu man race too long delayed. But now comes at a time in the world's history when the nations of the earth are serious ly reflecting upon the horrible barbarities and scenes of slaughter of the past, and henceforth through peace commissioners and wise and humane arbitration the swords shall be beaten Into plow-shares, and spears into pruning-hooks, and na tions shall learn war no more. In view of these facts, let the clergy men of our city and country pause, and ask: Have I fulfilled the entire duties of my ministry, until I have preached one sermon each year in behalf of God's de fenseless dumb, creatures?

The regular monthly meeting of the Board of Trade will be held tonight at 8 o'clock. The special business to come before the meeting Is considera tion of the proposed bond issues and other amendments to the city charter and the new ordinances. Officers of the Board say that while it is the province of the organization to consider and recommend on matters affecting commercial interests, there are also civic questions that come proper ly before, the body. The proposed new legislation Is regarded to be of this character, especially the bond issue for raising funds for parks and boule vards. The secretary's report for the past mouth's operations of the Board will show a larger amount of commercial advertising than for any previous month in the history of the Board. There are Incomplete records to show that numbers of homeseekers and in vestors have located In Oregon through the instrumentality of the literature sent out by the Board. Sec retary Laber says that it is only a very small percentage of people com ing to the state, who notify him con cerning the part the literature had In bringing them out to the Coast. With reference to a proposed glass factory for Portland, the prospect is brighter than ever as a sample of sand has been received at the office of the Board of Trade with a letter stating the percentage of silica exceeds that required by the eastern firm, which has agreed to transfer its glass works to Portland as soon as a deposit of sand suitable for their purpose Is located, and is of sufficient area to Justify the move. The eastern firm is tiow op erating its plant, and does not desire Its name to be divulged until It is definitely settled that the requirements can be met and a suitable site found. The Board of Trade has selected sev eral sites, on two of which .it has ob tained options. "BLACK HAND" MEN GUILTY Must Serve Time In Pen for Blowing Vp Italian's Home. WILKKRARRE. Pa.. May .

E Portland to Fitly Celebrate Nation's Birthday. MEETING CALLED BY LANE In Response to Lengthy Petition Mayor Asks Citizens to Consider Observing July Fourth and City Anniversary Jointly. Business men of Portland will meet with Mayor Lane Wednesday nipth to arrange plans for a monster Fourth of July celebration to be held . this year. It Is planned to observe jointly the r0th anniversary of the first city election held in Portland and Inde pendence Day. The celebration will be the biggest of its kind ever held in Portland and it is expected to attract people to Portland from hundreds of miles around. Yesterday a petition was presented to Mayor Lane asking that he call a meeting of citizens to appoint a com mittee that will be Instructed to make preliminary arrangements for the cele bration. The petition was signed by 30 business men. Mayor Lane yes terday afternoon issued a call for a meetirrg of all citizens interested, to be held at the Council chamber at the City Hall, . Wednesday night at 8 o'clock. It Is believed that several hundred business men will attend the meeting. ' "If we have a celebration at all we should have one that will break all records." said Mayor Lane in answer to an inquiry, regarding his opinion. "If the citizens want a celebration I shall do all within my power to assist them. Portland is more prosperous now than ever before. In its history," and if we do anything, let's do it right and arrange something that will be an attraction to outside people. Just what the celebration will con sist of has not been determined up on, and although the business men have been talking Fourth of July for weeks, the details have received but little attention. The business men and other citizens are enthusiastic. It is said that the merchants almost as one are heartily in accord with the move ment. It is understood that a large com mittee will be appointed and other work of organization effected Wed nesday night. The committee apointed will have the power to create sub bodies. Where the central and offi cial celebration will be held and its character will probably be settled to morrow night. i A good many of the prime movers believe that it will be fitting to have a joint celebration. Last year George H. Himes publicly suggested that the SOth anniversary of the city election be observed. The following are some of the sign ers on the petition presented to Mayor Lane, and which incited him to call the meeting tomorrow night: Mr Allen & McDonnell, A. B. Steinbach, R. M.
