Or.. Oct. 16. (Special.) The Association of Congregational Churches and Ministers closed its an nual conference this evening and will meet next year in Hassalo-street Church, In Portland. It had been the plan to hold sessions tomorrow fore noon, but by crowding the programme the work was completed tonight and the delegates will spend tomorrow vis iting state institutions. The principal addresses today were those by Rev. Luther R. Dyott, of the First Church, Portland, and by Rev. Paul Rader and Rev. D. B. Gray. Dr. Dyott, who is new in this field, cre ated a very favorable impression and won hearty applause for the views he expressed. He spoke of the plan of the church in the twentieth century, saying among other things that the church must not be merely a life insurance society in the future but also an active and effective agent in meeting present day needs. Touching briefly on the attitude of churches toward each other, he said that it would be absurd for one color of the rainbow to set itself apart and say: "I am the rainbow." Rather shall all be joined together, making the complete rainbow of promise. The trl-church union was the sub ject of Mr. Gray's address, the speaker supporting the idea of union. There was to have been an address on the negative side of the question, but no one would undertake to oppose union. Rev. Paul Rader read a carefully prepared discussion of "Modern Views of Scripture," in which he defended the Old Testament against the teach ings of whatjds called higher criticism. R. J. Hendricks delivered an Instruc tive address on "Child Labor," advo cating a Federal anti-child labor law. Other speakers were Miss Emma B. Penfleld, Rev. A. W. Monosmith, Rev. Daniel Staver, Rev. J. A. Folsom and Rev. Howard Gllpatrick. KXOCKS OUT TOWX LIGHTS Lightning Strikes Electric . Plant at Pine Creek. LAKE VIEW, Or.. Oct. 16. (Special.) The town of Lakevlew is in dark ness.

TWENTY MINERS KILLED Rumor of Explosion In Coal-Mine Near Pittsburg.- PITTSBURfJ. Pa. riot lfiA ..! nite rumor has it that 20 lives have been lost in a coal mine explosion at Ells worth. Pa. . FIGHT IS OH TODAY Fish and Harriman Defer De cisive Struggle,, TILT BETWEEN FACTIONS Whole Day In Illinois Central Con test Consumed In Preliminary Skirmishes Harahan Snubs Fish In the Meeting. CHICAGO, Oct. 16. The meeting of the Illinois Central stockholders, which was called at noon today, was finally ad journed late in the afternoon until 9 o'clock tomorrow morning. No vote on directors was taken and it. is possible that none will be reached before a late hour tomorrow.- It is generally expected, however, that the early session will see the new directorate established. The delay was caused by the inability of the three election inspectors, who were appointed to act as a committee on cre dentials in considering the proxies, to finish their work. The adjournment was taken after an earnest tilt between Will iam Nelson Cromwell, Mr. Harriman's leading counsel, and James A. Patten, a prominent member of - the Chicago Board of Trade. Mr. Cromwell desired that the meeting be adjourned until 8.30 to night while Mr. Patten was set on hav ing it adjourned until 9 o'clock tomorrow morning. The contest for proxies con tinued almost up to the hour of the meet ing and the 18-hour trains which arrived in the morning brought batches of de layed proxies from Eastern stockholders. Each Still Claims Majority. The followers of Mr. Harriman declare that there is no probability of his losing control of the meeting, claiming that he will have outside of the 2S6.731 shares which will not be effective In the election, more than sufficient votes to carry through' anything he wishes. Four directors are to be elected at the meeting to succeed Stuyvesant Fish, El H. Harriman and John Jacob Astor, whose terms expire, and who are candi dates for re-election, and to fill the va cancy caused by the death of C. B. Wol llng. The outstanding stock of the Illi nois Central is 950,400 shares. Of this amount, it is estimated that 100,000 shares will not be represented, and 286,731 shares will not count in the election in view of the order issued yesterday by Judge Ball. This leaves a total of 663,669 shares, which will, according to statements of the attorneys interested, be not far from the maximum number of shares voted. Mr. Fish expressed himself as confident of the outcome of the election of direc tors, but said that as the changes in proxies had been so numerous no man could state exactly the number of votes he controlled. The work of determin ing the rights of the various proxies may consume two or three days, and the elec tion of directors may not be reached to day. Meeting Open to Press. . At a meeting of the directors which pre ceded the meeting of stockholders. It was decided, "upon motion of Mr. Fish, that the meeting of stockholders should be open to the press. Heretofore none but stockholders have been admitted. The opening of the stockholders' meet ing was delayed by a long dispute be tween the Fish and Harriman attorneys as to the third member of the committee of three appointed to pass upon the proxies. The private secretaries of Mr. Fish and Mr. Harriman were selected to ac for their principals, but the third man was the stumbling block. Finally, Judge Farrar, for Mr. Fish suggested that selection of the third -man be re ferred to Judge Ball and Mr. Cromwell agreed. Harahan Snubs Fish. When Mr. Fish entered the stockhold ers' meeting shortly before noon he- was greeted with applause. He walked to the table where President Harahan sat as presiding officer, placed his hand on Harahan's shoulder and said a few words to him. Mr. Harahan shrugged his shoulders and tossed his arms impatient ly. Implying that he did not care to talk with Mr. Fish. The latter turned away with a smile and resumed his seat among the stockholders. After the meeting had been called to order. Judge Farrar and Mr. Cromwell entered and announced that B. S. Con way, of Chicago, had been agreed upon as the third member of the proxy com mittee. LUMBERMEN WANT STAKES Ask Commission to Order Railroads to Furnish Them, i ORBGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, D. C, Oct. 16. Lumber manufac turers from all quarters of the country are appealing to the Interstate Commerce Commission for a ruling compelling all American railroads to furnish stakes for holding in place lumber shipped in bulk on flatcars or gondolas. The American Lumber Manufacturers' Association and all branch .associations, including the Pa cific Coast Lumber' Manufacturers' As sociation, have entered formal complaint against the railroads, alleging that under the provisions of the interstate commerce law the roads should furnish all equip ment necessary to transport lumber safely. . Inasmuch as flat cars and gondolas cannot be used except when- lumber is held in place by stakes, lumbermen con tend that stakes are properly part of the equipment of the car and therefore should be furnished by ' the roads. Heretofore lumbermen have been obliged to furnish stakes for every flatcar or gondola of lumber shipped by rail and it is contend ed that these stakes entail a dead loss to shippers of $6 for each car, the annual loss on lumber shipments amounting to millions of dollars. Lumbermen protest against furnishing the stakes and furthermore object to pay ing freight on them, as at present re quired to do. They- ask the commission to require railroads to properly stake every car furnished for shipping lumber and to deduct the weight of the stakes in computing the weight of lumber shipped In lieu of this ruling, they ask that the railroads be compelled to deduct from their freight charges a fair allowance for the cost of stakes and for their trans portation. Their contention Is strength ened by the showing that railroads al ways furnish 'stakes for all other classes of freight requiring themv lumbermen being the only shippers required to fur nish their own stakes. Judging from the array of railroad at torneys present before the Interstate Commerce Commission today when the hearing began, the railroads propose to oppose bitterly the contention of the lum bermen. Practically every large rail road system is represented, railroad at torneys far outnumbering attorneys for the lumbermen. A. A. Moore, of Port land, representing the O. R. & N. ; F. w. Graham, of Seattle, traveling freight agent of the Great Northern; P. H. Cook, of Ogden, traveling freight agent of the Oregon Short Line; G: L. Palmer, of Ta coma, of the Northern Pacific traffic department; W. C. Albee, superintendent of the. Pacific Coast division of the Northern Pacific; F. C. Dlllard, attorney for the Union Pacific and Southern Pa cific, and Hale Holden, general attorney for the Northern Pacific and Great North ern, are among those waiting to oppose the rate, but Eastern roads are even more fully represented. Taking of tcs- ! timony will begin tomorrow and may consume several days. This case la In no way associated with the recently established rate on Pacific Coast lumber, which goes Into effect November 1. The Interstate Commerce Commission has never received formal complaint against that rate. ARGUMENTS ON UNIFORM BILL Some Railroads Deny Power of the Commission to Enforce It. WASHINGTON, Oct. 16. After a day and a half given over to the shipping, the banking and the railroad interests of the country to present their' views as to what in their opinion would be the most satis factory and just form of bill of lading to be put in operation on all the railroads in the United States an January 1 next by the Interstate Commerce Commission, the hearing was adjourned at noon today. Voluminous testimony from the stand point of each Interest affected, covering every phase of the subject, was taken. The commission will frame a bill of lad ing in which it will be endeavored to har monize all interests. Chairman Knapp announced that all parties Interested might before November 1 submit recom mendations in writing, or propose new bills of lading. The principal arguments presented to day were those by Mr. Lands of the Northwestern Railroad; F. M. Dlllard. of the Southern Pacific; the Oregon Railroad & Navigation Company and the Oregon Short Line; and George F. Brownell, first vice-president and general counsel of the Erie. Mr. Lands objected to the adoption of the proposed bill of lading, and argued that it was not in the power of the com mission to enforce such a form of bill. He thought the position of the commission was that of an advisory board. Mr. Dillard said the systems he repre sented would waive the question of the power of the commission to put in opera tion the proposed measure, saying the greatest desire was to secure a uniform Instrument that would be fair to all, and that their position was one of acquies cence and not of estoppel. Considerable opposition to the proposed lading bill in its present shape has developed, and if the commission accepts the views of those who already have been heard a new in strument will be perfected or the one al ready proposed will be materially modi fied.

Rockefeller Summoned by Government Before Prosecu tion Closes Spy System Ex tends to Foreign Countries. NEW YORK, Oct. 16. Counsel for the Standard Oil Company has prepared an elaborate defense in the Government suit for dissolution of the oil combine, which they say will be developed in its entirety when the Government's attor neys have . concluded taking their testi mony. The Standard's lawyers said to day that they had not sought to adduce testimony on cross-examination of offi cials and employes of the il trust which would refute the allegations in the Fed eral complaint, but had deferred bring ing out much evidence until later, when it could be produced continuously and in bulk. No Intimation was given of the nature of the testimony which counsel for the trust would bring out A telegram was sent to William G. Rockefeller, assistant treasurer of the Standard OH Company of New Jersey, last night by counsel of the Standard that the Government desired him as a witness before adjournment Is taken on next Friday for a month. , Frank B.

State ments were produced showing that the Standard secured Information concerning competitive shipments not only in the united states but in foreign countries. CREDIT MEN AT BANQUET Judge Frazer, of Juvenile Court, Makes Leading Address. Business was dispensed with and the Portland Association of credit Men, at its regular monthly dinner at the Hotel Lenox, last night devoted the entire time after coffee and cigars were served to listening to an address by A. L. Frazer, Judge of the State Circuit Court and Juvenile Court. E. B. Rutherford acted as toastmaster. "At a recent meeting of motfiers," said the Judge, in part, "I told them what I had to say was not for them as much as it was for the women that I could not reach unless they were brought into court. I mean the well-meaning but igno rant and careless mothers. What I say here to night to you fathers is also not so much for you gentlemen as for other men lower down in the scale of life who neglect their boys and girls. "The average age of our confirmed criminals is only 21 years; in this state it is 26 years. This shows that most of them are children. Eighty-five per cent can be prevented from becoming crimi nals by one visit to the Juvenile Court, and out of the other 15 per cent only per haps 3 to 5 per cent are hopeless cases. I would rather undertake to reform 20 of the worst boys than one girl. The fault rests with tho parents. Through a falso notion' of modesty the parents do not ex plain the mysteries of life to their chil dren until it is too la'e. The street gang is the breeding p,ace of criminals, both male and female. Girls generally go wrong in pairs, seldom alone. Any mother who allows her girl to go out with one or even two other little girls is unconsciously plotting her ruin. "To reform grown criminals is almost Impossible. One Jail sentence ruins a man or boy, a girl or a woman. It robs them of all self-respect and makes them hopeless. There is not one-tenth as much lying in the Juvenile Court among the children as in the other courts where adults are sworn. Be a companion to your children, keep them clean and keep them busy under our own eyes; that is the secret of preventing crime. There are slums in Portland Just as bad as tn London or New York, Just as low and just as immoral. One of the worst cases I ever had to deal witH came out of a Sunday school; it concerned four little girls and five or six boys. Judge Frazer was warmly applauded. The Portland Male Quartet, composed of W. W. Wilder, C. C. Richards. G. H. Street and R. N. Hockenberry, sang several se lections. Among those present were: A. H. Devers, E. B. Rutherford, P.

SELLWOOD IS AMBITIOUS Board of Trade Discusses Plans for Improvement of Suburb. Sellwood people want a complete sewer system, a new schoolhouse or an annex to the present building and a fras service. At the meeting of the Sellwood Board of Trade last- night, D. M. Donaugh presiding, the sewer ques tion was thoroughly discussed, and by a unanimous vote the board went on record as favoring the installation of a system of sewerage that will take in the whole of Sellwood south from the Salt Rheum Itches, oozes, dries and scales over and over again; local applications do not cure it. because they cannot remove its cause, which is an impure condition of the blood.

It was reported that the City Engineer had prepared some plans for sewerage, but how ex tensive these plans are and what ter ritory they cover was not learned. It waa the greneral expression of the meet ing that there "should be no further delay. The sewer system, as proposed, will cost more than $10J,000 and embraces all the territory between the Portland crematorium and the city limits south and east. There are some problems to overcome in preparing such a system, owing to the contour of the country, part of which slopes east and part toward the Willamette River. The sewer committee was instructed to take up the whole matter with the City En gineer. The schoolhouse situation was con sidered. J. F. Kertchem, who attended a meeting- of the board of Education last Monday night, with others, submitted a report to the effect that the Board had said that It would provide an addi tion to the Sellwood schoolhouse if more ground could be had at a rea sonable figure. There was some talk about building another schoolhouse to the south. The sentiment of the Board of Trade was against sending children from Sellwood to the Lewellyn build ing. A committee was appointed to look up new schoolground and secure an option on ground adjoining the pres ent building. Ij. J. Hicks, of the committee on gas, announced that he had conferred with the Portland Gas Company regarding supplying Sellwood with gas and had been informed that the company would extend mains to that suburb in the Spring. The offer of a local company to erect a plant and supply gas at SI. 45 was not regarded with favor, owing to the cost; besides, this company wants an excjuslve franchise for the suburb. G. P.
