Fill (no- nitrations on East Eighth street, be tween Bast Washington and East Mor rison streets, is being attended with con- i.irhl difficulties. The trestle ouiit to carry the dump cars collapsed durirg the. w-rk bv the settling of tne sana and gravel, causing a suspension of work. Considerable was accomplished, however, before the collapse. The filling will be done by other means, as a trestle will not stand. The buildings on East Eighth street, where the fill Is being made probably will not re aamagea. inn material for the emDanKmeni win dc pulled out from East Washington street bv a stationary engine. The elevated roadway on East Alder street la being removed preparatory to filling up tne street. Part or Embankment Disappears. Part of the embankment across Ste phens slough, on Grand avenue, disap peared Friday night. The fill was nearly completed the night before and in a few days more it would nave Deen nmsnea. DuVinr the night a. section of the em bankment, nearly 150 feet long and about a feet wide, in the middle of the com pleted portion, settled Into the bottom of the slough. The cause is aomewnai mys terious as the embankment seemed to have reached a solid foundation. How ever, there is plenty of material on the river bank and the depression will be rilled up again. The settling of the part will only delay th final completion of the embankment a short time. Tiutho L.ixa to Mount Hood. A telephone line la being built from Pandy along the Mount Hood road through the Toll Gate and beyond by the Government- Poles have been dis tributed along the road and the holes liave been dug. It will prove of great advantage as there la no telephone line beyond the Sandy except to Ashoff's place. The new Une will pass near all the principal resorts on the Mount Hood road. It will be used mainly by the forest rangers to keep the Portland office in touch with conditions in tie reserves durirg the Summer, when Area are pre- ! valent. The line will probably be com- i pleted by September. Will Talk Over Plans. The Mount Tabor Push Club will hold a meeting to . night at the Mount Tabor Sanitarium, on West avenue and Belmont street to talk over plans for the coming year's work. President Ildlaw has already an nojnced his working committees for 1940 1910. and several important projects are to be undertaken. A new schoolhouse to take place of the West-avenue building. Is wanted. An engine-house and engine company will also be asked for. Sewers are to be put down and many streets are to be paved at Mount Tabor. At thv meeting tonight general plans will be adopted. Exact vi a. Cojimittesi to Meet. The executive committee of the East Side Business Men's Club will hold an im portant meeting tonight In the clubrooms of the Healy building. East Morrison street and Grand avenue, to consider aevers.1 propositions. One matter to be considered is the acquisition of four blocks of the Hawthorne tract for a park. It may be decided to call a spe cial meeting of the club and later a mass meeting of the citirens of Central East Portland to urge acquisition of these blocks. Fweral of Eric Anderpov.

During July 10S3 persons were placed under arrest by Portland's police de partment. Of that number 1010 wers men and of the total 43S were of for eign birth. Only nine pxons wers provided with lodging at their own re quest. These statistics are shown in the monthly report of Chief Cox to the police committee of the City Executive Board. Of the total arrests S4 were minors, two of whom were young girls. The vagrancy docket shows 104 arrests. This is unusually large, and shows the activities of the police in ridding the city of petty larceny thieves. In only a very few cases were these arrests made on the real grounds, but as a subterfuge to rid Portland of tough characters. During the month five suicides were reported, which is the largest of the year. Thirty accidents were reported and 2 fire alarms given. Of eight pickpocket cases, seven were cleared up. and five hold-ups were all cleared. During the month four saloon men were arrested for violating the Sunday closing ordinance. CHURCH POLITICS URGED DR. DYOTT SAYS CREEPS SHOCXD TAKE PART. Pastor Declares They Should Be Felt in Capital and Labor Disputes. Telling his followers that the church should be felt In capital and labor dis putes, and that it should take a hand In polities. Dr. Luther R. Dyott preached on the question, "What Is the Church For?" at the First Congregational Church last night. The clergyman ar gued that all denominations ought to fling their sectarian differences to the winds, and that they should unite in help ing their fellow men. The speaker defined the term "church," by saying that "the true church includes all churches that are true to God and man." The Jewish church was Included, he said, remarking that "a churchman's view of the church is sometimes sand wiched between partiality and bigotry, hidden In the shadow of loyalty." "Dogmatic theology does not give the church credentials," said Dr. Dyott, "but practical service to the human family here and now." He urged that the church back all great reform movements, and take a braver, more outspoken attitude toward wrong. He said the conditions of modern life, es pecially In the large cities, stand as a challenge to the cnurcn. "The church should get into closer touch with men In their business life. continued the speaker. "She should be in polities', not as a political institution, but as a force for municipal righteous ness and National patriotism.. The church should be such a force as to make wars Impossible." Band Concert at Park a Tone Feast. 7T N excellent programme was rendered f yesterday afternoon by the Rose- brook band in the City Park. For those of cultivated musical sensibilities. "Wag ner's "Rlenzi" and "Lohengrin," Weber's "Invitation to the Dance" and Godfrey's arrangement of arias from Verdi's operas were offered, while for the less critical listener Crlbulka's "Love's Dream" and a series of tuneful airs from Luder"s "Woodland" were given. The harmonies of "Lohengrin" were splendidly inter preted at yesterday's concert. Mr. Rose brook, throughout this difficult number, being in complete command of his musi cians. It was followed by prolonged ap plause. A feature of the concert was a cornet solo by Mr. Rosebrook. whose thorough musicianship Is invariably appreciated. He gave "A Remembrance of Prague" and was compelled to give an encore. Moszkowski's "Scenes from Foreign Lands," and Paderewskl's "Minuet" and "Two Spanish Dances" were other selec tions pleasingly rendered. In spite of the uncertain weather a large crowd gathered in the vicinity of the bandstand to enjoy the music. Dur ing the intermission many people visited the park zoo. where the animals seemed to take a lively interest In the crowd of visitors. The grounds at this time are most attractive. The area immediately back of the Lewis and Clark monument, which has been set out with flowering plants is now one of the most beautiful portions of tne pant. WHEREJTO DINE.

Newspaper Men and Telegraphers March With Mourning Lodge in Imposing Cortege. The most largely attended Masonic funeral held In this city for some -time was that yesterday of Charles E. Rog ers, late telegraph editor of the Even ing Telegram and worshipful master of Hawthorne Lodge, No. 111. Ancient Free and Accepted Masons. It Is very seldom that Masons meet to bury one of their number who up to the time of his death was on active duty as presid ing master of his lodge. Nearly every Masonic body In the city and Eastern Star lodges sent representatives. The funeral was notable in Masonic annals. Brethren of Hawthorne Lodge met in their lodgeroom at 1:30 o'clock yester day afternoon, and the ritual was In charge of Acting Worshipful Master Cannon, assisted by Past Master Stryk er. Senior Warden Johnson and Junior WaTden Estes. Under the guidance of W. B. Hall, tyler of Hawthorne Lodge, who also acted as marshal, the lodge mourners marched"- to Holman's private chapel, which was soon crowded to the doors with members of the Masonic fraternity and relatives of the de ceased. Religious services were con ducted by Rev. John F. Ghormley, as sisted by Dr. J. W. Brougher, a member of Harmony Lodge, No. 12. The hymns, "Am I a Soldier of the Cross?"

At the Crematorium the Impressive Ma sonic ritual for the dead was read by Past Master Stryker, assisted by Past Master Rowland. COLLINS CASE DELAYED ATTORNEY" WILLIS SAYS IT'S CAMERON'S PROGRAMME. Woman's Counsel Seeks Prompt Ex amination Condition of Accused Murderess Greatly Improved.' That It is the intention of District At torney Cameron to delay the appointment of a sanity commission to inquire Into the condition of the mind of Mrs. Kate Van Winkle Collins, alleged sliver of her hus band. Dr. Roy A. Colll-.is, the morning of July 24, is the belief of Judge A. L. Willis, the accused woman's counsel. Judge Willis expressed this opinion last night, following a conference with County Judge Webster and District Attorney Cameron Saturday in which he urged prompt examination of his client by alienists. "They both evidenced a disposition to go slow, and I am convinced it is the pro posed programme of the state to delay the examination," said Attorney Willis. Mrs. Collins. In the last few days, has shown marked improvement both men tally and physically. It is said her mental derangements are periodical only and that at times she Is rational. The delay on the part of the prosecu tion Is believed to be a result of the fact becoming known that Mrs. Collins was Insane once before, a number of years found to be sane, her case would go to trial regularly and the burden of prov ing her insane at the time the murder was committed would be on the shoul ders of the defense. The Peterson Jail Site. PORTLAND, Or., July 31. To the Edi torsBelieving that the City of Portland is sadly In need of a new Jail and other municipal quarters to replace the pres ent dilapidated and inadequate accomo dations, at Second and Oak streets, sev eral weeks ago I made a tender to the authorities through my agent, J. A. Taylor, of my property, which consists of 25xS6 feet lying between the present jail building and the fire engine-house, both of which the city owns. Should my property be acquired, the city would be at once in possession of a quarter block of what should appeal to the pub lic as the only logical location at pres ent available. The main feature of my offer Is that I shall give the city a clear IN A NATURAL WAY The Policyholders' Company title to my property in exchange for a free grant lease of 30 years of the water front at the foot of Stark street on the West Side. Improved and convenient municipal quarters are a present neces sity. The authorities are neither using nor Improving the waterfront. On the other hand, I would at once improve it with a modern concrete and steel dock at heavy cost and use it for business purposes which would benefit the com munity. At the expiration of the lease term, of course the permanent Improve ments would revert to the city without cost. It has been suggested to secure a jail site on the outskirts of the present cen tral district, possibly on account of the lower valuation of ground there. It is a question, however, whether it would be economy to be cheep in such a mat ter, especially with the present oppor tunity remaining open. J. H. PETERSON-. OPPORTUNITIES ARE FEW ENGINEER ADVISES AGAINST IMMIGRATION TO HAWAII. E. L. Gage Also Brings News of Montague Lord, Oregon Boy Who Has Made Success. E. L. Gage an American engineer who has been in cnarge of Irrigation operations on the largest sugar planta tion in the Hawaiian Islands for the past 13 years, is at the Cornelius Hotel. He brings news of Montague Lord, the son of ex-Governor Lord of Oregon, that will- be received with pleasure by the many friends of the young man In this state. Mr. Lord, who went to the islands several years ago, has been quite successful there and is now one of the superintendents on the same plantation with which Mr. .Gage is connected. For all that Mr. Gage does not advise many Americans to go the islands with the intention of settling there. "The openings are few," he said, "and limit ed almost entirely to engineers. And even the engineering positions are com ing to be filled more and more by Japa nese and the native Kanakas. In fact, the young man who goes there to re main permanently in the hope of en tering business is pretty apt to be dis appointed. "So far as the Japanese war scarce Is concerned," he continued, ' in Hono lulu and the Hawaiian Islands, which would naturally be one of the first places attacked by the Japanese In case of war, it can be summed up In three words there is none. The recent strike of Japanese labor in the islands Is not nearly so significant as it has been made out to be in some parts. The principal cause of the strike was the fact that the Japanese were paid less than any of the other nationalities in the islands, the average laborer working on a basis of $18 a month, and they struck for more money. "Very few Japanese are at present coming into the islands, which, from the standpoint of the planters, is just the opposite of what is desired. The planters could use many more of the yellow laborers than are now there, but have been unable to get them." It will probably be a surprise to many persons to learn that the big sugarcane plantations in Hawaii are irrigated according to the most modern -methods, and have been for a number of years. Surface water Is not obtain able, but artesian wells have been sunk at many points and good water is pumped from a depth of about 3B0 feet. On the Walalua plantation alone, the one where Mr. Gage is employed, and which has between 10,000 and 12,000 acres of cane under cultivation, there are six big pumping stations. "Venus and Adonis" at Lyric Theater. THE Imperial Musical Comedy Com pany continues to offer tuneful and laughable Summertime entertainment to the general delight of Lyric patrons. The newest bill to be offered by this organi zation is called "Venus and Adonis," why, no one knows, but that doesn't make any difference. It Is quite a funny show, contributing much to the sum total of human happiness. People ilke the non sensical In the Summertime, the good old Summertime, which never gets warm In Portland, and consequently the audience which attended yesterday afternoon's opening performance was highly pleased.
