lO TIIE MORNING OREGONIAN, MONDAY, MARCH 14, 1910. GITY OUT OF DOORS WELCOMES SPRING PREMATURE SPRING DAY BRINGS OUT THOUSANDS, WHO THRONG HEIGHTS AND PARK. READ WHAT THE OREGONIAN" SAIS FROM ISSDE OF MARCH 11 Bright Sunshine and Balmy Breezes Send Call That None Can Resist. A MODERN ADDITION. Ir AEROPLANE HAT APPEARS With Sides, Front and Back and Ends on Sideways, New Gear At tracts Much Notice City Fark Was Thronged All Day. Yesterday was outdoor day in Port land. It seemed as If the whole popu lation of the city of every age, and of every condition of life, was bent on being out of doors. From one end of the city, to the other and from every suburb they crowded streetcars, all go ing somewhere, all attracted by the weather's Irresistible call. Throngs restlessly moved through downtown streets. By far the greater part of the crowds was constantly be ing transported on the cars, most of which had the City Park as their ob jective point. It was a typical Spring day, or, rather, was it super-typical ? March, coming in like a Hon, was making good the ancient tradition, and before the middle of the month had become lamb-like. The struggle between Pluvius and Solus had ended, for a time at least, and the Sun, shining bril liantly, sent its penetrating rays everywhere. Motor-Cars Whizz By. Motor cars, hundreds of them, whizzed through the streets, out long boulevards and onto country roads, their glittering and many-colored ton neaux filled with laughing men and gay women. The electric moved sedate ly along, the landaulet and limousine, the high-power roadster and touring car flashed by, epitomes all of twen tieth century progress, serving society In its favorite pastime. There may have been those who en vied the motorists and those who longed for an automobile, but it was only passing. Under the influence of the day such thoughts could not be harbored long. Those who could not ride in automobifes took the trolley, and those who did not take the trolley walked. Matrons.x who could not take a longer journey, wheeled the baby carriage up and down the walk in front of the house and watched the infant's gesticulations of delight. The balmy breezes and warm sunshine were for all alike, and all alike enjoyed them. The first glimpse of the season's feminine fashions was had. Scores of women wearing Spring bonnets were seen on the street, and incidentally the aeroplane hat made its debut. Why it is called an aeroplane hat no one seems to know, but as such it is known and every woman seemd to recognize it yesterday. The new hat has the sides in front and behind, and the ends on the sides, is very straight In Its lines and sits with exacting horizontalness on the head. Water Sport Draws. On the river scores of gasoline launches, .canoes, rowbots and sail boats were in evidence. These disport ed in the sun in keen enjoyment. Many took long excursions up and down the river. Above the bridges the sailboats, their white sails taut, tacked on the water like seagulls at play. City Park, the parkways downtown between Park and West Park streets and the Plaza blocks were filled. with people. In City Park it is estimated that 10,000 persons spent part of the day. Many carried their lunches and spent all day. Had the grass been a little greener and the flowers bloomed in greater profusion, one would have thought it Summer. The highest point In the park was a favorite spot. There on the long benches scores sat and looked to the eastward, where snow-capped Mount Hood could be plainly seen, or down on the busy street scenes below. Just back of this spot, in front of the Sacajawea statue, the blue grass ' was spotted with an occasional bunch of yellow crocuses. Throughout the park an occasional dandelion could be seen. In the park few improvements have been made during the year. To the layman few could be, made. The few unsightly paddocks and aviaries have been placed together In the extreme northwestern portion of the park and shrubbery has been set in their places. The boxed steps have been replaced by hewn logs. City Park Improved. The buffalo and elk corrals, formerly made of pickets, have been replaced 'by rustic posts and wire netting. A cleverly-designed log shelter for the elk also adds much to that part of the park. Little has been done to the 63 additional acres purchased just above the reservoirs on the hill, adjoining the elk corral. ' One improvement in the park, is a cement walk up the gulch from the Washington-street entrance far into the interior and connecting with the gen eral scheme of walks and paths. This, it is intended, will be connected ulti mately with, the temporary roadway leading through the additional acre age. Now and more sightly 'buildings are, now under course of construction for the smaller animals. They are being set back further toward the gulch, in order to give a wider walk in front. All are being placed on cement foun dations. This is being done as a part of the rat-extermination programme' of the Park Board. The little rodents last year Infested all the buildings, and when the animals were fed ate with them. During the Winter hun dreds were killed, until park visitors now will be little annoyed by them. All week, according to City Park Superintendent Mische, "the park has been visited each day by large crowds of people. Probably never before, say Borne, was there as large a crowd on the first pretty Sunday than yester day. Showers Predicted' for Today. Showers, which will probably be ac companied by thunder, are forecast for Portland today by the local weather of fice. Not long after the forecast had been made last night, a light rain began to fall. The maximum temperature for thts city yesterday was 74 degrees, which was four degrees higher than was reported list night from any other place along the North Pacific Coast. It is expected that the temperature today will fall con siderably lower and that the wind will shift so as to come from the south. Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets are sate, sure and reliable, and have been praised by thousands of women who have been restored to health through their gentle aid and curative properties.

' A ' ACADEMIC FREEDOM URGED Pastor of TTnitarian Cliurch of Our Father Refers to Discourse of Professor Howe and Sermons by Evangelist Oliver. Controversies in Eugene, and especially In the University of Oregon, over doctri nal differences were made the subject of a sermon yesterday morning at the Church of Our Father, Unitarian, by its pastor. Rev. W. O. Eliot. Jr. His dis course concerned both the clash between Professor Howe, of the university, with orthodox ministers of Eugene, several months ago and the more recent state-,' ments of Kev. rrencn a. unver, an evmi- i gelist. who has been holding meetings under the auspices of the Evangelical churches. Dr. Eliot held that in the State Uni versity, Unitarians and others have pre cisely the same rights as those wno ac cept' evangelical teachings. To any fair minded man, he said, it must be clear that the governing forces of the univer-' sity are right in insisting on the full spirit of academic freedom. In regard to Mr. Oliver, who had said that he had rather see a saloon in Eu gene than a Unitarian Church, the speak er thought that some share of responsi bility oug.t to rest on the city's pastors who had secured his services. While Mr. Oliver has become more moderate in his utterances, the Unitarian pastor called attention to the fact that there has been no public disclaimer. Dr. Eliot's subject was "A Just State ment of the Religious Situation in Eu- , gene." He said: Some months ago a mooted doctrinal ques tion arose in one of Professor Howe's classes In the State University. Professor Howe agreed to express himself more fully out of j class hours, and a meeting for that purpose -was arranged. One of the Protestant orthoJox ministers attended this meeting, and naturally disagreeing with Professor Howe, announced a sermon on the questions involved, in the course of which he was per haps a little sarcastic In his references. Some of the students were Indignant and the Inci dent was widely published. Later Professor Howe's appointment to speak before the Y. M. C. A. of the University was canceled. To explain fully the principle Involved, It Is necessary to understand that the Y. M. C. A. excludes from membership all who are not -membera In good standing of so-called evangelical churches, as defined by the state ment adopted at Portland, Maine, In 1869. and since reaffirmed. This, therefore, ex cludes from membership Roman catholics. Unitarians, Unlversallsts, Jews, and the members of several other respectable re ligious bodies. Unintarlana do not object to the organiza tion of Young Men's Christian Associations among the students of a State University. They do not object to the memibers of the faculty attending their meetings and ex pressing themselves freely upon religious matters. But we hold that In a State Uni versity professors and students who are not " "evangelical" and who are excluded from the Y. M. C. A. have precisely the same rights as the others. For parents of ortho dox children to expect any other course on the part of the University authorities la to expect the Impossible. Since the objections were made to Pro fessor Howe, a number of non-evangelical students have organized & Free Religion As sociation. Do those who object to Professor (Howe's conduct and to the organization of excluded students believe that by official action or by unofficial conspiracy religious tests should be enforced against entrance to the Univer sity of all but "evangelical" professors and students? If not, do they maintain that, after admis sion the University authorities ought by offi cial act or by unofficial conspiracy to favor the "evangelicals" and to suppress the others? To any good and reasonable man. of any church it must be clear that the governing forces of the University are perfectly right In insisting upon the full spirit of academic freedom among both professors and students. Either there must be no Y. M. O. A. and the professors must be forbidden to speak at "evangelical" gatherings, or else, within the bounds of morality and propriety, there must be equal liberty of speech and of vol untary organization accorded to Unitarians. Roman Catholics and to all other non-evangelicals. In the meantime a Unitarian Church has been organized in "Eugene, and recently the smoldering fires broke out again In the per son of an "evangelist" named Oliver, filling an engagement by invitation and prearrange ment of all the Protestant Orthodox minis ters tout one of that city. The fact that there were some Unitarians in the Univer sity and that a Unitarian Church had been organized was objected to by Mr. Oliver, and his statements have been given wide pub licity. The minister of the Unitarian Church in Eugene has not entered into any controversy, and In Justice to the resident orthodox ministers of that community it should be said that some of them have shown marked klndnesa and courtesy toward one whose views they can but differ tfrom. On the other hand, that they have not agreed with Mr. Oliver Is perhaps evi i deaced, by the Matter's sudden, laawa Into I i k L Ifinriirim- in innnrii greater moderation of speech. But, so far an I know, there has been no public dis claimer upon the part of the KuRene min isters, ana bo lonir aa they maintain public frilence they oUKht in fairness to share, with Mr. Oliver, part of the odium that has. whether Justly or not, become attached to nis name. , think w(, -hnniri do thin instire to Mr. Oliver and his supporters, namely, that they are men who take thoir creeds and. their tests of religious fellowship and their ordi nation vows seriously, sincerely, and con sistently, if the creeds and tests are true. Unitarian churches are indeed "worse than saloons" and any university where there are any Unitarians should be "cleaned out or wiped out." Beneath, Unitarian Christians and "evan gelical" Christians there are profound and vital grounds of agreement and common bonds of sympathy, but upon those rea4, dif ferences between Christians and "e van Hel icals" which are deemed vital the issue- is implacable so long as the older creeds are really believed in and made the test be tween sheep and goats. Unitarians stand for freedom against arbi trary authority of hierarchy or creed. They hold that the ostracism of honest doubt and the suppression of earnest and reverent in quiry is the bane of Christendom and ut terly inconsistent with the spirit of Christ. Unitarians hold that. Human nature is not ruined but incomplete. They hold that spir itual development is a normal moral pro cess rather than a pathological nervous crisis. Unitarians hold that God is the Su preme Being working with all souls, not by mechanical compulsion, but by moral at traction, by deathless love. Unitarians hold that God is at least as good as man, and would not condemn any soul to interminable and irremediable torment for any sin com mitted in a finite career, and especially lor honest doubt concerning mediaeval metaphys ical formulas? They appeal from the creeds to the heart of man, and ask. "Will heaven be heaven to a parent who has been s,aved' if that parent's child Is forever in hell for no moral dereliction beyond honest doubt as to the infallibility of Scripture or the Deity of Jesus?" Unitarians hold that Jesus was not the Deity, but a great and holy prophet; that he was not God, pretending to be a human being, but a human being achieving the Inherent divinities of our wondrous human nature. It would be easy for any man to be all that he ought to be if he could have helps and powers entirely extraneous to nor mal human nature. Jesus' influence with humanity would appear to be vitiated by as much as we detract from his true and nor mal humanity. Unitarians hold that social sins are as peril ous if not as deep-seated as personal sins and that It is a mistake to separate the church from the moral problems of the social order. Unitarians believe themselves to consti tute that part of the Chxuch of Christ that aspires toward universal religion and uni versal ethics in an organixation that would be loyal without excluding freedom, and free without excluding loyalty. The hope-ful and reconciling fact is that much whfch goes by the name of orthodoxy Is broadening, and much that goes by the name of heterodoxy is deepening. Modern ists in all churches understand each other. If present-day leaders of orthodoxy do not wish their churches judged by preachers of the type of Mr. Oliver, they in turn should judge Unitarians by the Unitarians they like best and not by those they like least. Between the principle of orthodoxy and the principle of freedom there is an irrepressible con flict, but between the men of all denomi nations who are modern In their thought. deep in their experience, and loyal In their lives, there is an essential agreement that transcends sectarian lines. Where each man shall stand as to denominational allegiance is a question of conscience. Lret each man make it a question of conscience. MAN'S TOOTH IS POISON.

U U IVt L I lb HIUUtN Clouds Spoil Chance to View Heavenly Body. WEST SEES STAR WEEK YET Pacific Coast, According to Authori ties on Astronomy, Has Opportu nity to Witness Halley's Comet Just After Sunset. Encouraged by the reported possi bility that Halley's comet might be seen with the' naked eye, many peo ple in this city were on the lookout for the heavenly visitor last night. Several went to Council Crest better to scan the heavens but all were disap pointed, as the Western horizon was blanketed . with clouds, which made futile all astronomical observations. Authorities on astronomy are agreed that with a perfectly clear sky and ideal weather conditions, the comet will be visible through a telescope on the Pacific Coast for probably mother week. The proper time to get a climDse of the comet is during the hour following sunset. Its location is in the western skies directly above the point at which the sun disappears. The comet is now traveling rapidly towards the sun and will soon be lost altogether in the solar effulgence. The comet will then pass out of sight until it swings past and over the sun s disk and appears in the east Just before daybreak.- East Will See Comet Again in April. After disappearing in the west, astro nomical students say the comet will not reappear in the east before April 1. If the weather is at all favorable, it Is expected the comet will be visible in the eastern skies and can readily be seen with the naked eye betwen April 4 and 10. On its first appearance in the east, the comet is expected to resemble a reddish, possibly a pinkish star, not unlike Mercury or Mars. At this time, instead of succeeding the sun in its flight through space, the comet will appear in the heavens in advance of the sun's rising. For that reason, persons wishing to witness the comet will be obliged to make their ob servations before the sun rises. Astronomers report that the comet is now considerably above the plane ofi the earth's orbit and will climb higher and higher each day until about April 19, when it will reach its perihelion goal post more than 54,000,000 miles from the sun. Discussing the move ments of the comet. Rev. Daniel J. Mc Hugh, of De Pauw University recently said: "The nearest approach to the earth will be on May 18. when the distance separat ing earth from comet will be 14,300,000 miles, or 60 times the moon's distance. Xvidently there is no danger- of a colli sion. Even the tail of the comet, it seems to me, will have diminished in strength and brightness before May 18. for 29 days will have elapsed since the solar heat began to diminish. I should Judge the tail will be the best in the latter part of April, although It will seem larger to us when it is nearest." Difference of Opinion Voiced. There is a difference of opinion among local rjeoole who have made a studv of Mtronomv as to the observations of W. I JiL Bowers, of SUverton, and. whether j or not it was Halley's comet that actually saw. Professor J. V. Daniels, of Hill Mili tary Academy, maintains that Mr. Bow ers' description of the supposed comet, together with its location, compares with the description of the comet as it is expected to appter as well as the point with relation to the planetary system where its cours-e will take it. Profepsor ranies, however, concedes that the Sil- verton man may have mistaken one of the other comets for what he suspected was the Halley . visitor. Shortly before 9 o'clock last night the moon was eclipsed by a stray but densa ly black cloud. side from which the sky was perfectly clear. As a result the moon remained in hiding for several second?. "Without reflecting over the lo cation of Halley's comet with relation to the moon, several people in different sections of the city witnessing the scene, immediately concluded that the looked- for comet -had really arrived in advance of its appointment. MINISTER ATTACKS CLUB SUNXYSIDE ORGAXIZATIOX IS CALLED "ILVOCKERS," Rev. W. T. Euster Takes Occasion In Sunday Sermon to Stand by Branch Postmaster. "Knockers," rather than "boosters." was. in effect, the way in which Rev. 'W. T. Euster, pastor of the Sunnyside Meth odist Episcopal Church, referred in his sermon last night, to the members of the Sunnyside Push Club. His reflections on the club were called rorlh by an alleged attack by that organization on Branch Postmaster Miller, who has direct super vision of the mail service in Sunnyside, It was intimated by Rev. Mr. Euster that the Push Club had gone out of its way to make a "personal attack" on Mr. Miller. The pastor objected to it, not so much on the merits of the controversy, but because of the methods employed. He thought that the club had given no consideration to Mr. Miller s family, even though the Postmaster himself is well along in years and his wife is an invalid. The attack was a "political Job," he said, after the sermon. "The Sunnyside Push Club is pushing things the wrong way, said the preacher in his discourse which was based on the Golden Rule. "I say this because of an attack made in a circular on our Branch Postmaster, who is serving the people to the best of his ability. While I have nothing to say about the complaints themselves, they were arranged and placed before the public in a manner that Indicated a very mean way or knocking. "This does not show a Christian spirit in the - least and the Push Club should be in bigger business than that, if it is ever to do much for Sunnyside. There are proper authorities to. go before with out trying to harm a man before the public and make it hard for him to get another place in which to work for the Government. It shows a. spirit entirely unchristian and mean." G. T. Moore, president of the Sunny side Push Club, was Inclined to think that Rev. Mr. Euster had attacked the organization before carefully ascertaining the facts. The truth of the matter, he said, was that no attack on Mr. Miller had been made by the club. "The circular that Rev. Mr. Euster re ferred to was not circulated by the Push Club, nor did that organization have any thing to do with it," said Mr. Moore. "Some complaint afcout the mall service was made before the club and a commit tee was named to make an investigation. That is all that the club has had to do with the matter."

Let us improve the character of our residence additions and we improve the civic beauty of Portland. Of all phases of progress which have brought comfort and cliic beauty to its highest development in the past 10 years none deserve more careful thought or consideration than the art of building up a modern residence addition. There can be no city beautiful without beautiful homes, and the stupendous un dertaking to create such a section from raw and undeveloped land is one which requires not alone men of capital, but they must be men of patience, energy and of modern ideas. And the city must co-operate with them in all ways. In such a manner is the beautiful residence district possible. The writer has in mind particularly Laurelhurst. properly termed "The Addi tion with Character," for it is undoubt edly the most highly improved and sight ly residence section of the entire city. Since its inception, wonderful progress has been made in Laurelburst. There has been greater quality Improvement here than in any other district of Port land, due largely to the progressive spirit of the people of the city, which shows shows itself in a constantly-increasing demand for the most highly Improved home sites. While some of the contracts for im provements in Laurelhurst were the larg est ever awarded in Portland, all of the improvements are being pushed to com pletion with as little delay as could be possible. The paving contract was awarded to the Barber Asphalt Paving Company several weeks ago at a cost of $347,000, and Mr. Huber of that company is au thority for the statement that all .work in the section of Laurelhurst now on the market would be completed by August 1st of this year. There is now in- Laurel hurst a large asphalt plant belongig to this company and several carloads of asphalt in readiness to commence the work of laying the asphalt streets. The work of grading is practically completed, 8-lnch water pipes are scattered through out the addition ready to be Installed, n tr ve rx- be en t ae to he th it w, x- er of t :o - ae in lid ten or ie he as he or h IK e-o-R. ' da ted tsh tal the excavating of trenches for sewer and gas is about to be commenced, while the contract for furnishing shade trees and cluster lights is about ready for deliv ery. In fact. 600 of the shade trees are now being planted in the 9-foot parking strips. And while, of course, the promoters of Laurelhurst are actuated by business motives, yet it Is of interest to note that aside from the time and incalculable energy displayed, in bringing all these improvements to completion in Buch a short time, the money consideration in volved in the purchase of such a tract and in Its development is greater than is used in the development of any other line of business in Portland in a like period. M 338,000 IS GIVEN Presbyterians Liberal in Pro viding New Facilities. ADDITION WILL BE BUILT First Cliurch Disposes of Rumor That Property Might Be Relin- quished for New Site Total of $50,000 Asked. That the members of the First Pres byterian Church are determined that every facility shall be afforded to that Institution in the carrying on of its various activities and thus answer all the requirements of the modern church was demonstrated at yesterday morn ings- service, when contributions ag gregating more than $38,000 were made to a fund for the construction of an addition to the church proper at Twelfth and Alder streets. During that portion of the service devoted to the raising of funds sums were received ranging from $3000 down to $15, which will enable the committee in charge to undertake the improve ment within a short time. The addi tion is made imperatively necessary owing to the steadily growing Sunday school and other departments. Start on Work Soon to Be Made.

Members of the building committee and officers of the church are confident that the remaining $1-' -000 of the fund of $50,000 required will be subscribed during the coming week. A meeting will probably be called this week to arrange for starting the work. When the new addition is completed the Eirst Presbyterian Church will have the most commodious church building in the city. The preliminary plans prepared by Doyle & Patterson provide for a two-story building to oc cupy the lot adjoining the cliurch build ing at Thirteenth and Alder streets. The material will be the same as that of the present church building and as far as may be the same style of archi tecture will be followed. In all prob ability when the contract is let it will be decided to add a third story to the building. Building Much Needed. The purpose of the new building is to provide adequate facilities for tha Sunday school, auditorium, class rooms, rooms for primary and Junior depart ments and separate rooms for Bible classes; parlors for social purposes; rooms suitable for young people's gatherings; rooms for the missionary and aid societies; pastor's study and session room. The total cost of the building will probably not be less than $75,000. The generous manner in which the members of the church have sup ported the undertaking is considered to mean that the site of the present church is regarded as ideal for a church on the West Side and disposes of the report that the church will in time re linquish its property for a site fur ther from the down-town district.
