12 THE MOKXIXG OKEGOXIAX, SATURDAY, MARCH 21, 1908, SAYS SOCIALISM IS NOT REMEDY Labor's Only Salvation Is Loy alty to Unions, Declares Father Yorke. MUST ORGANIZE FURTHER tsan Francisco Priest Tells Working men to Complete Work Ik'gun. Graft Prosecutions in the Bay City Bode Them Evil. Discussing the "Labor Question' at Merrill's Hall last night under the auspices of the trades unions of this city. Rev. Peter C. Yorke, of San Francisco, said that only by loyalty to their organ izations could union men hope further to better their conditions. Socialism, de clared the speaker, was not the remedy under present conditions and he urged union workingmen to complete the organ ization of their crafts throughout the United States. It was asserted that the right of laboring men to organize could not be denied, but in seeking to build up their organizations, they were advised to avoid politics entirely and to rely for further advantages altogether on their unions which had obtained for them the Improved conditions they now enjoy. Father Yorke also referred to Francfs J. Ileney, charging the noted graft prosecutor with sailing under false colors. It was charged that the sole desire and purpose of Heney's "graft humbug" was to disrupt the labor or ganizations of San Francisco. The legal assault that was being made on the Southern Pacific by Heney, personal rep resentative of Rudolph Spreckels. he said, was purely a tight between two gigantic corporations Harriman and Gould in which the laboring men could only be concerned Indirectly. He declared that the controversy was a fight for million aires, not a contest in the interest of the workingmen, who never could expect to recelvo any consideration, either in graft prosecutions or from politics and politicians. Before proceeding with his address. Rev. Father Yorke commented on the fact that some of Heney's friends had criticized Yorke for being "too vulgar" in his reference to the graft prosecutor since coming to Portland. The speaker did not offer any apology for what he had said, but did remark that he "con sidered it very unusual that any friend of Heney should set himself up as an ex pert on vulgarity." "Unions stand for one thing and one thing alone," declared the speaker, "better remuneration, better hours and better conditions. The right of the laboring- man to organize cannot be denied, and he should be educated to know that he not only can oianize, but can do everything- that is lawful in order to better his conditions. This is a law of humanity itself, inherent In human nature, and any law. rule or enactment which goes against that right has to go down." The object of organizing, it was ex plained, waj to enable the workman to make thn best possible, bargain be tween himself and his employer for his labor. For this he should receive a fair wage, which should be sufficient to give him and his family a comfort able living, a home fit for habitation, and at the same time enable him to lay aside a portion of his earnings for a "rainy day." No "discrimination should be made in the wages paid to sinqjo and married men, the speaker holding that the general idea that the former w.s not entitled to the same compensation as the" man haing a. family was erroneous, for the reason tnat the unmarried workman should receive every encouragement to get mrrid and rear a family. Union men were warned against tak ing any part In politics and, above everything, to avoid the politician with the hanriahake and perennial smile. "Stick to your unions.'' was the ad vice of the speaker. If further conces sions are to be gained for the laborer. J. K. ljedwidge was chairman of the meeting and presented Father Yorke, whose address was frequently punctu ated by applause.

LAWYERS ARE ACCUSED GRIEVANCE COMMITTEE OF BAR HEARS CHARGES. Dismissal of Disbarment Proceed injjs Against Certain Attorneys May Be Moved. Cases of four Portland lawyers against whom complaints have been made were considered yesterday by the grievance committee of the Oregon Bar Association at the first session of that committee as now constituted. The lawyers who ap peared before the committee are Rich ard M. McCann, J. H. Hitchings, James Finch and H. C. King. The only action taken by the committee was in the case of McCann. who was cleared of the pending charge. His case was the re sult of a dispute over a bill and after hearing the evidence, the committee de cided there was no cause for action. Besides those who appeared before the committee yesterday, several other at torney are to be brought up for hear ing at the present session. The commit tee will convene again this morning at 10 o"clock and will be in session through out the day and will probably meet again tonight. The charge against Hitchings have been pending for some time and were gone over at some length yesterday. Th sessions of the committee are secret and the members declared they had rached no decision In his case nor In the cases of Finch and King, who were charged with drunkenness. The prose cutions were conducted by Ralph B. Fisher, prosecuting attorney of the asso ciation. Before ending its deliberations the com mittee may move the dismissal of the disbarment proceedings pending against Marion R. Biggs in the Supreme Court. Since the reversal of the verdict against J. X. Williamson, with whom Biggs was indicted, the tatter's counsel bold that the charges against their client should be dropped. Carey F. Martin, of Salem, who had been indicted for subornation of perjury and later cleared of the charge, has also asked the committee to dismiss the disbarment proceedings against him. It is also probable that the committee will take up the complaint against J. R. Wyatt, an Albany attor ney, who is alleged to have bribed wit nesses In a local option case to leave the state. The grievance committee is simply an investigating board of the Bar Associa tion. When complaints are made to it concerning members of the profession practicing in this state, it probes the charges and. when it believes the case justifies it. begins disbarment proceed ings in the Supreme Court.

DECLARES JUDGE UNFIT Assault on Rabbis Xieto and Kaplan Characterized as Display of Bad Temper, Vulgar Abuse and Malicious Rage. In his address laat night in Temple Belh Israel, on "Mordecai in the Gate way," Rabbi Jonah B. Wise, referred to the recent incident in the San Fran cisco graft trials, when Judge Dunne characterized Rabbis Kieto and Kaplan, concerned in Ruef's contract with the prosecution, as "willful, vicious falsi fiers.' The incident was cited as an example of the methods of the prose cution. " v Dr. Wise also referred to the recent activity among: the anarchists and tha folly of allowing such a woman as Emma Goldman to go about the coun try preaching her doctrines of vio lence and hatred, and he expressed the hope " that her contemplated appear ance in Portland would be prevented. Dr. Wise's address was in part as fol lows: The designation of two rabbis by Judge Dunne, of San Francisco, as willful. vicious falsifiers' is a display of bad temper, vulgar abuse and malicious rage that bids fair to etamp the gentleman aa unfit to sit in judg ment. Whether or no the accused are guilty of the crimes as officially charged in the scurrilous arraignment of the ill-tempered Judge, neither I nor Mr. Dunne Is pre pared to state. When, however, an offi cial holdiinar a oosition hallowed by all tra dition as one of dignity and calm, so far forgets himself as to stoop to partisan and almost obscene Invective there- Is occasion for remonstrance. Ruef is a menace to the public welfare and should long- ago have been incarcerated. OwiDf to the bungling of the Heney-Burns-Dunne crowd he is about to be set at liberty with a prospect of final escape. It Is a shame. Whose fault is it? The gentleman whose violent denunciation I am unable to deny being without the facts, has been overruled by two successive courts. His part in the original drawing up of the Indict ments may have been small. Whether or no he had any share In their phrasing, he cer tainly sat In their service and the state lost through the incompetency of this lr rasclble servant an opportunity to convict at first hand and cost the criminals whom the petulant Justice describes as the "greatest who ever came before him." Let uc have a change of venue, then we may see justice meted, out calmly and sure ly. The legal acumen of the court was evi dently warped by the warmth of the chase, so that he with his conferres overlooked a glaring- error: "Argal," bis righteous rage. One of the rabbis was made the go-between In an attempt to Induce Ruef to turn state's evidence in the manner so strikingly affected by Mr. Heney in his turning five criminals away neatly fumigated and marked with the official Government stamp of guiltlessness in order to the mot easily catch one who loomed a bit higher than the rest. That is, the arch-crimtnal was to be used to catch bigger game. The methods of the prosecution have been underhanded. Insincere and conceited, for they are will ing, as they have heen here in Oregon, to compromise and compound with the felons to entrap their victims. Tt looks like a case of bigger head money. The scheme failed, Ruef did not deliver the merchandise, hence the "He direct." Both Rabbis Nieto end Kaplan were dragged into this matter and used In the interest of the prosecution end when they have i he audacity to say so they are branded as liars in a. manner tha-t even the most antiquated ideals of police court practice would flee from In terror. 1 presume the rabbis were interested, as most ministers of metropolitan congrega tions have the publicity itch, and their duty called them to the service of the state when it requested their co-operation. They will undoubtedly suffer by this arraignment but the "graft prosecu-tioa" will lose a righteous Judge and gain a blustering partisan with his legal eyes watering- from high and gouty rage. Ruef should be tried openly, candidly and with due dignity. Tf guilty he should be convicted; then if the law permits. Judge Dunne may sentence Mm to the galleys or at his own valuation of the man's crlm Inallty he should have him hanged, drawn and quartered. In the name of all that is decent In law and society let the chicanery and underground practice of the prosecution be ended. Things "hs-ve come to a pretty pass In deed, when two quasi-public men can he branded as perjurers by a Judge on the bench merely because the dignitary lost his temper. Out of his own mouth he Is ira- i JfS3t V yftZw MAJP SHOWING ROUTE OF ..NORTH BANK ROAD WHEN COMPLETED TO GRAYS HARBOR. Under the name of the Grays Harbor & Columbia River Railroad, the Hill Interests will build a railroad down the north bank of the Columbia River from Kalama and north to South Bend and Aberdeen. This road will be a continuation of the Spokane. Portland & Seattle Railway and will eventually extend to Tacoma and Seattle. The present Northern Pacific line from Portland to the Puget Sound cities is one of heavy grades, and an entirely new route is necessary if a railway of modern construction is to be secured. Be sides, the present road, in prosperous times, has all the traffic it can carry. Double-tracking is imprac ticable and the projected route will carry Jreight from the Columbia River as well as much of the trans continental freight that is now hauled across the Cascade Mountains. A railroad of easy grades that would carry this tonnage, even though of longer mileage, would be more economical for the Hill lines than to haul the traffic of the Great Northern aud the Northern Pacific across the heavy grades of the present lines crossing the Cascades. The new line will fap the big lumber and shingle districts of the Lower Co lumbia River on the Washington shore and will open up an entirely new territory to the projected trans portation line. . peacbed and declared a menaM to the fair ness, dignity and honor of our last and strongest, guarantee of liberty, our courts of law. CHARGE TRUST IS FAVORED Federal Sugar Refining Company Accuses Its Competitor. ' NEW YORK." March 30. Evidence in support of unjust charges of discrimi nation in favor of the American Sugar Refining Company and Arbuckle Bros., entered by the Federal Sugar Refining Company against all the railroads which have entry to this city, was heard today by Martin A. Knapp, chairman of the Interstate Commerce Commission. The Federal Refinery is situated at Yonkers. on the banks of the Hudson River, and the complainants alleged that they bave been subjected to - unjust lighterage charges for the transfer of their refined products for over four years, and sub- stantlal damages are asked. The com plainants allege that rebates on lighter age charges were granted by the rail roads named to ' the American Sugar Refining Company and the Arbuckle concern, whose interests they declare to be identical. THE PAY'S DEATH RECORD Charles H. Fowler, b. D., Bishop of Methodist Episcopal Church. NEW YORK, March 20.-The Rev. Charles H. Fowler, Bishop of the Metho dist Episcopal Church, died at -his home here today. Bishop Fowler had been crit ically 111 only since last Wednesday. Hie death was due to heart failure, resulting from a complication of diseases. He had been in 111 health for two years, but dur ing' nearly all that time he took a more or less active part in the affairs of the church. As late as two months ago he felt able to make a journey to Minneap olis, where he presided at the dedication of the Fowler Memorial Methodist Epis copal Church. His last public appearance was at Metropolitan Temple on Sunday following Washington birthday, when he took part in a Washington Memorial service. His last visit to his office in the Methodist building in Fifth avenue was made last Monday. On Wednesday he was stricken with the illness which resulted in his death early today. Bishop Fowler's long life was filled with The Late. Rev. Charles H. Fowler, Bishop of the Methodist Episoo- I nftl rhitrrh. I J activity for the church and the cause of education. Born in Burford, Ontario, in 1837, he was graduated from Genesee Col lege, now Syracuse University, in 1859, and he was the valedictorian of his class. He also headed his class at Gar ret Biblical Institute, and was the first man to receive the honorary degree of D. D. from that institution. After com pleting his education he removed to Chi cago, where he studied law, but he never practiced that profession. Entering the ministry at the conclusion of his law studies, he served as pastor of several churches in Chicago during the next 12 years, and in 1872 was elected president of Northwestern University. He re mained at the head of that institution four years, and became editor of the Christian Advocate in New York. He was made general missionary secretary in 1880, and four years later was elected bishop. Bishop Fowler was pastor of one of Chicago's churches at the time of the great fire, and it was he who suggested the plan of pooling the interests of the different churches until all should have time to rehabilitate themselves. As missionary secretary he organized Pekin University In North China; Nan king University, in Central China; the First Methodist Episcopal Church in St. Petersburg; established the MoClay Col lege of Theology in Southern California, and consolidated the three colleges in Nebraska Into the Nebraska Wesleyan University at Lincoln. He inaugurated the 20th century thankoffering of his church, whereby more than 20.O0O,000 was raised for the church.

M. G. Munly. president and chairman of the executive -committee, submitted some statistics concerning high water in the Willamette River and the traffic over the railroad bridge, which bear on the height and dimensions of the proposed high bridge. In response to a communication from the East Side Business Men's Club, of fering 180 for- the best arch in the route of the floral parade, the association ap pointed R. E. Menefee. E. Adams. R. J. Sinnott, H. A. Heppner and D. I Povey to .take up the matter of erecting an arch. The cgmmlttee was instructed to undertake to raise funds for erecting an arch by subscription of business men. The committee will also consider the question of having a float in the floral parade. I E. Adams, member of the school committee, announced that the members of the Board of Education were not sat isfied, with the grounds in Patton Addi tion secured as a site for the proposed new East Side High School. They think the property too small, being but 150 feet wide, and want a tract at least of four blorks. Mr. Adams said tnat the Board of Education is opposed to the location because it Is only 100 feet from the big gas reservoir. The association indorsed the position of the Board of Education and instructed the school committee to aid in securing a larger tract not under the shadow of the gas tack.

MAY MEAN A RATE WAR Harriman Proposes to Bid for Busi ness on Puget Sound. TACOMA, 'Wash., March 20. (Special.) John M. Scott, assistant general pas senger agent of the O. R. & N. and Southern Pacific, is in Tacoma today on business with Local Agent Lee. They are particularly interested in the operation of the new ruling of the Interstate Com merce Commission relative to the Port land gateway. "We shall of course obey the ruling," says Mr. Scott, "though it may go a bit hard with us. When the Union Pacific line is extended to Tacoma we will be in a position to meet the rate, but we cannot do so at present un less the Commission's ruling is altered." Mr. Scott today withdrew from sale all eastbound tickets at the local of fice. The Tacoma office will be main tained, as the Harriman company can route business east over' the Hill lines to Spokane and can sell tickets from Portland east. The office force will ba reduced April 1 on account of reduced business. No announcement of eastbound Sum mer rates from Portland over Harri man lines has as yet been made. If Harriman is to get the business of Puget Sound and the Grays Harbor country the rate from Portland will have to be cut to absorb the fare to connect with his lines. Local railroad men believe such rates would provoke one of the most severe rate wars in the history of Western railroading. Granted State Certificates. SALEM, Or., March 20. (Special.)
