THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, JUNE 28, 1910. DR. GRANT EXTOLS CATHOLIC CHURCH Big Congregation Startled by White Temple's Builder When He Preaches. METHODS ARE CRITICISED Protestantism's Lack of Scientific Basis Declared to Have Led to Decline Which Is Def . lnite and Steady.". . . '-' "In spite of the laymen's missionary movement and the great world conferen ces ofj;churches, the Protectant church throughout the world Is losing ground." This was one of the declarations made by Dr. Roland D. Grant in his sermon on '!'Miem Mistakes in Religion," de livered at Grace Methodist Church Sunday night. Across the street is the White Temple, which was built while Dr. Grant was pastor of the First Baptist Church. Dr. Grant is the possessor of Nation wide fame, both as a preacher and a lecturer. He was, previous to his re tirement from active church work, con sidered one of the foremost Baptist min isters of the country. His fame as a traveler and student is also Nation-wide. WhemiDr. Grant was pastor of the First Baptist Church he was chiefly noted for his hostility to and criticisms of Catholicism and its teachings. A series of sermons which he delivered against the Catholic church packed the White Temple every Sunday while it was in progress and created a profound Bensatlon in church circles, both Catholic and Protestant. But last evening Dr. Grant said that the Catholic church is the only church with a .definite religion. This etand, di rectly opposed to his former teaching, took his audience unawares. A hushed surprise spread over the sanctuary and everyone- present listened attentively so es not to miss a word. His attractive subject, "Modern Mis takes in Religion," packed the church to overflowing. To the great audience Dr. Grant's statements came like a thunder bolt when he declared that Catholics con stitute the only religious body with a definite religion; that true religion is a science as much as astronomy and geol ogy, but that Protestants have made it Ei series of negations In perfect chaos. "Religionists have argued too much for 'other-worldllness,' " he said, "until or ganizations other than the church have stepped In to take her place in supplying the fulness which should be the heritage of every" man in this life." He said the church has too much Phariseeism and declared Darwinism was false. "I talked with a very eminent Jesuit priest the other night," said Dr. Grant. "He wanted to know the difference be tween Catholicism and Protestantism. I said to "him: 'Tour people have respect for authority; ours have none. When you tell your people to go to- the bottom less pit, they pack up their things and go, but .when we tell our people to go, they send us.' Protestant denomina tions depend largely upon luck. They do not put the matter on a scientific basis. T The churches stood for profound conviction In their inception, but today fellows Just stumble into them. If the members should be called on to fight for their religion they wouldn't know what they were fighting for. "Theft Catholics are the only people In the world who have specialists at their head. Other denominations put up men whom they call specialists, but the biggest dunce In the congregation could put It all over them. They don't stand for def lnlteness. . ... "I hear It from the press and on the : streetthat the world is tired of doc trine. I don't believe it. Definite Bible doctrine Is what they want. But It is a 'fallacy to suppose that one man or set of men can frame rules by which others shall live. The church, like the political world, has lost every grain of conviction. There is no difference today between one political faith and an other. 4 The only question is, 'Which ' man ean push through and get the office.' i c "We have made religion a series of . negations, a series of rules. . - "My argument is not for the game. '.It Is for the principle. Christ said: 'I am come that they might have life, and they: they might have it more abund antly.' Not life In the next world with .. out life, here, but life here and In the C next- too." GIRL EATS BERRIES; DIES Party of Nine Children Stricken by 'A Poisonous Fruit. cial.)

ADMEN WARMLY RECEIVED Hospitable San Franciscans Made Them. Feel Right at Home. . Portland admen who attended the con vention or tne racinc t-oast Advertising Men's Association in San Francisco will T not soon forget the warm welcome they I received in the southern city, according j T. Atchley, returned yesterday in ad vance of the main delegation. The hos pitable San Franciscans never let them feel that they were away rrom Home. Much of the success of the excursion. Mr. Mosesoohn eaid, is due to C. C. Chapman, manager-elect of the Portland Commercial Club. Chapman lost no op portunity to say a good word for Port land. He was elected secretary-treas urer of the Pacific Coast organization. The Portlanders reached San Francisco Tuesday night and the convention opened next day. At noon the delegates were guests of the San Francieco Admen's As sociation at lunch, and following the after noon session, the advertising exhibit of the San Franciscans was inspected.

There were nine delegates from Spokane, 15 from Sacra mento and 18 from Lios Angeles. Seven delegates had credentials from Portland. Joseph Blethen was the only adman from Seattle. " MAGVEA6H IS SATISFIED TREASURY IX GOOD-CONDITION AS FISCAL YEAR ENDS. Tariff, He Says, Produces Revenue, and Surplus May Result In stead of Deficit. WASHINGTON, June 27. Four days re main in the Government s fiscal year, which ends with the close of business on .June o0. Uncompleted figures and estimates available at this time lead Secretary MacVeagh to express himself as well satisfied with the operations of the Treasury Department. Mr. Macveagh regards the new tariff law as having Justified Itself as a revenue producer Internal revenue receipts have exceeded the estimates Dy approximately $10,000,000 and the year may end with a surplus in the ordinary receipts and ex penditures, instead or a dencit or 334.000,- 000, as was predicted. Durlnz the year the Government has expended on the Panama Canal $33,910,040. This has been a drain On the regular working caeh , balance, there being no special fund from which payments for this purpose can be made. Congress had authorized the issue of bonds to meet canal construction expenditures, but Mr. MacVeah has balked on the basis on which the law provides the bonds shall be Issued. In his annual report to ; Congress in December Secretary MacVeagh estimated that the ordinary receipts of the Govern ment for the fiscal year 1910 would be $648,000,000; to date they have aggregated $641,355,532. He estimates the ordinary disbursements at $"'.82,075,620; at this time they amount to $G50.510,8o5. Customs re ceipts this year have been $336,562,242, the Treasury estimate for the year being $335,000,000. Now the prediction Is they will not reach more than $330,000,000, thus falling below the estimates.. - There has been a material reduction from the estimates in expenditures in the Civil War and naval estimates and a de crease of $7,000,000 in the estimated pos tal deficiency. Whether there will be active surplus at the end of the year, officials say de pends upon the amount of corporation tax money received. Secretary MacVeagh estimates it would reach $15,000,000. The prospect, are otherwise. The money is paid direct to the Internal Revenue col lectors and frequently several days elapse before It reaches the Treasury here. Corporate taxes paid to date amount to $3,23S,153. If $15,000,000 more from that Bource be in the hands of the Treasury by the end of the fiscal year, the predic tion is made that the daily Treasury statements for next Friday will show a substantial surplus for the year in the items comprising the ordinary recalDts and disbursements. ESCAPE GULLED MIRACLE ONLY THREE OF 1 5 OO ON LOST J. S. ARE DEAD. TRIO DIE IN TONG 7 ARRESTED WAR Clever Work of New York Po lice Stops Battle in Three Minutes. 40 PISTOL SHOTS FIRED Cool-Headed Passengers Avert Pan ic Loss to Acme Packet Com pany Estimated at $60,000. LA CROSSE, Wis., June 27. One of the greatest miracles of the Upper Mississippi Is considered the escape from death of all but three of the 1500 passengers wno crowded the Acme Packet Company's steamer J. S. when she burned Saturday. Promnt work by the 'crew and by cool-headed passengers in controlling the frantic passengers . is all that pre vented hundreds of people from Jump ing into the-river. In midstream. Mrs. Emma Randall, of New Albany. Ia- was the -only one who broke through the 'guard on the edge of the decks and 20 men had arms outstretched to grasp her when she plunged Into the water. Her -body - has not yet been recovered. John Plane, of Waukon. - la., -was locked In the hold for disorderly con duct and in the excitement no one thought to release him. His bodv is undoubtedly in the river bottom with the steamer, which sank after burning to me water s eage. It was late yesterday morning before the last oi uin siranoea excursionists were removed from Bad Axe Island, on which the boat was beached 10 minutes after the lire broke out. Norman Fox, of Victory Wis., who could not be found Saturday and who was thought to have been burned in the boat's Jail, was located In La Crosse Sunday. He had missed the boat here. The loss to the Acme Packet Com pany is estimated at $60,000. Practi cally every passenger on the' steamer lost clothing, bundles, money. Jewelry or other valuables, and it is estimated that this combined loss with aggre gate .$10,000. It is still possible that other excur sionists are missing, although ail pas sengers thus far sought by relatives have been accounted for. Blood Shed at Banquet Celebration of 2000th Anniversary of Found ing of Society of Four Broth ers in Gotham's Chinatown. NEW YORK, June 27. A tong war that sleeps, but never dies, in spite of threats, promises and solemn treaties. broke out Sunday in Chinatown. In. 90 seconds three Chinamen were shot, two" of them fatally, a third was painfully wounded and more than 40 shots from heavy caliber revolvers shattered against brick walls or pavements. In three minutes afterward seven Chinamen were arrested. Trouble Starts at Banquet. It happened that the 2000th anniver sary of the founding of the Society of the Four Brothers fell on this day and In its honor the members were to give a banquet in Pell street at 5' o'clock. A monster flag, scalloped In green, floated from the banquet hall and guests began to arrive early from all parts of the city and from neighboring towns. It was in the midst of a restless. shuffling throng, thick with policemen. that the shooting began. There Is no certainty of the precise provocation. but it is generally understood In Chinatown that the On Leong tons did not relish the fact that Chu Hen. re cently acquitted of the murder of an On Leong tong man. was to be the guest of honor. The Hip Sing tong. the On Leong tong and the Four Brothers occupy each its own street and no prudent member of one society trespasses on the territory of another. Pickets Are Posted. Pickets were posted yesterday at the end of Pell street by the Four Brothers and scouts of the On Leong tong patrolled the adjacent boundary of Mott street. There were more police men on the beat than usual because of the banquet. Somebody stepped over the line. Somebody began to shoot. It is doubtful If any white man will ever know who trespassed and who fired the first bullet. The bullets came too fast from too many directions at once for the eye to catch the first flash. No Chinaman will ever tell. . Robin Slayer Is Sought. VANCOUVER, Wash., June 27. (Spe cial.) That some thoughtless hunters had killed more than 100 robins' on the roads near Tacolt as a pastime to pass an afternoon is reported in Yacolt. The robins were seen lying along the road, killed probably with a .22 caliber rifle. J. A. Walters, deputy game warden, is making an investigation. T IRON WORKS SECRETARY GOING EAST FOR MACHINISTS. Official of Employing Draymen De nies Agreement 'With Union. Settlement Not Near. . B. C. Ball, secretary of the Willamette Iron & Steel Works, will leave this morn ing for Eastern manufacturing centers to engage men for permanent positions in the local steel works. He will endeavor to get men with families, and promises them permanent Jobs. On the teamsters' side, Sam Herrman, president of the Draymen's Association, yesterday said that fully half the teams were working. He denied the statement that any firms had signed an agreement with the union. He described snch a statement as thoroughly false. "As to the present situation," said W. H. Corbett, - president of the Willamette Iron & Steel Works, "things are Just fair. We are engaging . 'an occasional man and managing to keep things moving." "Do you intend to withdraw in any way from your action?" Mr. corbett was asked. "Not by an inch not by a quarter of an inch," he replied. Mr. Corbett- said that the men to be imported would in no sense be strike breakers. However, were It found neces sary to domicile men in the works it would be done. Inasmuch as Portland wages- were from 50 cents to $1 a day better than the wages prevailing in the East, he thought it would not be difficult to induce men to come. The headquarters of both of the unions were deserted yesterday. A statement mo.de by some of the teamsters Satur day that several of tlw transfer firms had signed with the unions was denied by Mr. Herrman last night. .... Mr. Herrman said that freight was be ing moved strictly in rotation and that although no concern was working up to full strength, it was not falling behind enough to cause anxiety. Expressmen of Portland are arranging for a smoker as a benefit for the strlk ing teamsters. It will be held in Bar tenders- Hall, 2056 First street, tonight. Manager Weieer, of the Richmond Ex press Company, is In charge. PALOUSE NEEDS SPRING WHEAT DRYFNG; FALL- SOWN GRAIN NOT SUFFERING.

The condition of the grain crop is the topic of greatest interest in the Palouse country at this time. . That rain Is needed for the Spring "wheat is evident, but Fall-sown wheat is not suffering. Grain is "spotted," some fine fields being far advanced, and a big yield, even without more rain, is expected. In the western part of Whitman.

FIRST SHIP IN FROM NOME Senator Reaches Port From North With 4 6 Passengers. SEATTLE, June 27. The steamship Senator arrived from Nome today, the first vessel to come out of Behring Sea since the close of navigation last Fall. The Senator left Nome June 17 and had a light passenger list, only 46 persons being aboard. The Spring cleanup at Nome has not begun and only a small amount of gold, valued at $87,000, was brought out. Passengers arriving from the North re port that the season is very backward and it will be some time yet before min ing operations are in full swing. Re ports concerning the new Idltarod gold fields are conflicting and Indefinite. It seems probable that the camp will turn out to be of only ordinary value. A Clean Man Outside cleanliness is less than half the battle. A man may scrub himself dozen times a day, and still be unclean. Good health means cleanliness not only outside, but inside. It means a clean stomach, clean bowels, clean blood, a clean liver, and new, clean, healthy tissues. The man who is clean in this way will look it and' act it. He will work with energy and think clean, clear, healthy thoughts. He will never be troubled with liver, long, stomach or blood disorders. Dyspepsia and indigestion originate in unclean stom achs. Blood diseases are found where there is unclean blood. Consumption and bronchitis mean unclean lungs. - Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery prevents these diseases. It makes a man's insides clean and healthy. It cleans the digestive organs, makes pure, clean blood, and clean, healthy flesh. It restores tone to the nervous system, and cures nervous exhaustion and prostration. It contains no alcohol or habit-forming drugs. Constipation is the most unclean uncleanliness.
