Not content with the effort so far made to prevent the construction of the Broadway Bridge over the Wlllamett river, the obstructionists appeared in the Circuit Court ajraln yesterday in th name of th Port of Portland, with a suit for an Injunction against the dry. restraining it "from constructlns; the Broadway bridge or any bridge. Because of the fact that Judge CH el and did not Issue r entraining City Treasurer delivering th bonds to the Ledd V Til tna Bank, th obstructionists have prob ably been defeated, as officers of the city look at the situation. The citation served upon th City Treasurer when he opened his office yesterday morning re quired him to appear In court Thursday to show cans why the construction of th Broadway bride should not be en joined. Treasurer Werlela immediately called tip the Ladd es TUtoa Hank and served notice that fee demanded a delivery of the bonds in eotnpUano with th terms ef the bid accepted by th city.

Tort Claims Rights. Th contention of th Port ef Portland la that It, not th city, has th right to regulat all obstructions placed In th liver, and that It would be detrimental to shipping; to hav two bridges In pro cess of eonstrnctloa at th aame tlms and on being torn down. Th two other bridge referred to ax the present Har riman bridge and th new liarrtman bridge, now being built. The duty of the Port of Portland, it is pointed out. la to keep a sufficient ship channel from the sea .to the City of Portland up th Columbia and Willam ette Rivers, and to establish and main tain all harbor and wharf lines and berths la th Willamette River, and to . control the erection of structures In th Willamette River within Its Jurisdiction, as well ss to preserve the Willamette River as a harbor of a great capacity and as free as possible from obstruction. Th port commission has exclusive con trol over the river. It is alleged, and ex clusive right to make rules for Us use as a harbor. Obstruction la Allegrd. The Broadway bridge. If built, will be an obstruction to navigation. It la al leged, and a great Impediment to the harbor. It Is contended also that the fund being raised by the city for Its construction will remain Idl and become an unnecessary interest-bearing expense upon the city until the bridge is built. The new Karri man bridge will be finished not later than the end of Janu ary. IS 11. It la maintained, and It la only feet upstream from the present liarrtman bridge. The proposed Broad way bridge will be 13:& feet below the present Harrlman bridge. It Is alleged that, as the harbor is narrow at this point, and th most of th shipping Is now done there, it will be a detriment to the city and th port to have work on th three bridges going on at the tarn time. The port commission says communication between th East and West Sides will be ample with the new Harrlman bridge and without the Broad way bridge. As soon as th activity of the Port of Portland Commission became known, a movement was started among the busi ness men of both sides of the river to reorganise the management of the port. It is proposed that a new port law shall be enacted If the present law shall fail to give the remedy sought. The pur pose In mind was announced to be th recall of the present commissioners, and the enlargement of the scop of th powers of the commission. An Injunc tion will be immediately eought re straining the commissioners from In any manner Interfering with the com pletion of Broadway bridge. Situation Is Complex. That the situation has become stranr-ly mixed was pointed out by a city official last night. It was noted that the War Department claims ex clusive right over the regulation of hipping and the use of draw bridges over the Willamette River, as evidenced by the controversy now pending before the United States grand jury, wherein the officers of the Multnomah County Court are in danger of Indictment for i obstructing th passage of shipping. Now comes th Port of Portland with the same assertion, so far as obstruct- I ins; the rtv.r is concerned. That Mayor Simon is not seriously Impressed by the stand of the members of the Port Commission for Jurisdiction of th river wss evidenced Isst night when h telegraphed the bridge engi neer. Ralph Modjeskl. Immediately to prepare and forward all specifications necssary for th advertisement and awarding of the contract of construc tion, t W will proceed with th matter with the greatest speed from this time en." said the Mayor.

With a few minor changes, the mat ter of supplying tickets to children by the Portland Railway. Light & Power Company will remain In force as ac cepted by the School Board last Spring. was the announcement made yesterday by B. S. Jossclyn, president of the com pany. "The matter was submitted to the School Board In advance of beginning of school, so that a thorough under stand Ins: might be had." said Mr. Jos- selyn. e took special car to give the matter general publicity. We had B notice from the School Board that any objection whatever to the plan would be taken, until on week after school opened. "The Issuance of school tickets at re duced rates by the company Is purely a Announcing its Intention to use Ita full power In the regulation of the sale of Intoxicating1 liquors to women and girl patrons of the grills about town wner meals are combined with liquor sales, the liquor license committee' of the City Council yesterday voted to re voke the license of V.

Councilman Cellars led the assault on places where a drink Is served with a bouquet" sandwich, as he termed the food which Is made to accompany any number of drinks served to patrons of the booths. Policeman Measures 'Room. Mr. Cellars has been devoting con slderahle time to the investigation of the entire case, and has had the aid of the police department, which detailed Policeman Shaffer to the work. The patrolman has been making the rounds In plain clothes and has not only oh served and reported upon places where drinks are served with meals, but brought a tapellne Into play to ascer tain tne number of square feet con tamed in the rooms. The officer not only testified that the L.lndberg place, kitchen and alL. con talned but 302 square feet of space, but mat ne naa arrested one of the mana iters and secured his conviction for selling a drink not accompanied by a meai. Ajnaoerg explained that the ner- son to whom the drink was sold had been served with a full meal and that tne dishes were removed prior to serv Ice of the solitary drink.

"For the purpose of making these conrssglons. we will change the age limit of children to whom school tickets may be Issued from li to 10 years. In this manner, pupils attend ing th High Schools may be given the reduced rate. The tickets will hereafter be issued so that any num ber of children In on family may use th sain book of tickets, instead of requiring each on of the children to procure a book for his or her Inde pendent use. Of course, it will be nec essary for all of th children using th single ' book to board th car at the same time, for the tickets must not b detached except by th conductors.

HITCHINGS' FIGHT WAXES ATTORNEY ARRESTED AT RE QUEST OF LANDLORD. Lodging-House Keeper Accuses J. "Hat" of Trespass and Person ating; an Officer. J. "Hat" Hitching, an attorney, was arrested yesterdsy on wsrrants sworn by C. H. Bateman. proprietor of th Bellevue. a lodging-house at 21JH Fourth street. Hltchlngs Is charged with trespassing and personating an officer. He was released on depositing HIS cash ball. Hltchlngs say his arrest is an effort on the part of Captain Bailey, of the police department, to "get him" In re venge for charges which ha filed against Bailey a few weeks sgo. but which hsve not yet been acted on. C H. Bateman tells the following atory: "Friday morning about 11 o'clock Hltchlngs cam to my plac and said he was a city officer. He told ma that Miss Nina Sunstrom. a young woman rooming here, was a bad girl and said that I should refuse to rent her a room any longer. I told Miss Sanstrom the next day that an officer had been searching her room, and later pointed him out to a male friend of hers. The arrest followed. Captain Bailey says that th arrest of Hltchlngs was not spite work. He says he was Informed of the occurrence in th lodging-house and sent men to in vestigate, and denies that he "framed up the arrest. "A friend of Mies Sanstrom came to me about five weeks ago and. at her request. I obtained a position as cashier in a Third-street restaurant for Miss Sanstrom. said Hltchlngs. "One night she and a male companion were arrest ed. I knew nothing of It. but was blamed. After they had deposited ball Captain Bailey came along and re turned them their money. I then filed charges against Captain 'Bailey."

(To th Edit or-) Knowing that The Oregonlan would not be guilty of Intentional mis representation, I ask that yon kindly permit ma to correct certain state ments. Recently I have been reported all ov- er th country as having declared In the House of Deputies at the general convention of th Protestant Episcopal Church in Cincinnati that: "The Bible is not the word of God." and that the scriptures ar full of Inaccuracies." Th following statement made to the House of Deputies is self-explanatory: Mr. President and gentlemen of th con vention: In fustic to this convention snd myself, permit me to correct a serious and painful misunderstanding. In the court, of a three-minute address. when the matter of the preamble was under oieoussion. I was reported by the publlo press as having made the declaration that the Bible Is not th "word of Ood- and that th "Scripture ar full ot inacoura- clea" As Is well known to th members of this house, I made no such statements. The term Inaccuracy was used with reference to the historical statement In the preamble re- gKiuing in. ioudoiuob 01 tne church. it 1 nan naa more time to amplify mr remarks, there could not have been a mis understanding. I wish to affirm my belief In the sixth article of relic Ion. In our prayer book, concerning Holy Sortptur. I do further believe the declaration in article 8 of th constitution, understanding by th us or "word of ood a sacred and rever end title for th Holy Scripture, oontainlne 4i uung neoeasary ror salvation. In this understanding X feel that I am in aocord with the members of this house, and tn harmony with the spirit of the cbureh. There is surely no need for further dis cussion. "I thank you for your consider ation." I wrote an explanatory statement for the Cincinnati Times-Star, which paper made the startling announcement that was so generously copied; but that pa per declined to publish It. Reporters frequently think they catch an idea and clothe it In their own language: often no doubt not meaning to devi ate from the truth. In your issue of October 13. you say ut. juorrison is reouaea by vote. Th rebuke was to a misrepresent ing press. Mention was made of the published statement, but no mention was made of my name, or of my speech. which speech was generally understood by th House, no member having raised a dissenting vole after it was made. The only persons who seem to have misunderstood were th reporters. You also quote "He was vigorous in saying that the time has passed when the "Bible is to be taken for all It has been said to be." I did not utter a single word of that. Furthermore, the resolution offered by Dr. Winchester did not go to a vote, and hence, was not passed. A substi tute offered by Dr. ocleston passed, whloh was, that the daily press be asked to publish th eighth article of I the constitution of our church, which refers to holy scripture as being the Word of God containing all things necessary to salvation. . It was en tirely fitting that some such action should be taken, sine th press has mad it appear that the Episcopal i Church had almost repudiated th Bl- bl. Let me mak It clear how th misunderstanding arose. In discussing the proposed preamble to the constitution, a speaker who pre ceded me. objected to what he claimed were historical Inaccuracies contained in the proposed preamble, referring to th foundation of th church. Th soond proposition of th prambl was J "We acknowledge Holy be the Word of God." I said if objection can reasonably be made because of alleged inaccuracies with reference to the historical founda tion of the church, much greater objec tion could be made to the statement that holy scriptures, meaning there Toy the Bible. Is the "Word of God." That men of modern scholarship would not assent to such a definition; that the Episcopal Church could not af ford to put itself on record as favor ing such a definition; that it would prove a barrier to young men of mod ern scholarship entering the ministry of our church. The whole difficulty arose because the reporter was unable to understand the significance of the word definition In tnia connection. According to a usage adopt ed by Protestant bodies. "Word of God" became the Sacred and reverend title' for th Holy Book. In this sense the title Is found in the eighth article of the Con stitution of the Episcopal Church. It was not put there for purposes of defi nition. Th sixth article of our Articles of Re ligion contained In the Prayer Book de fines Holy Scripture as follows: Holy Scrlrture containeth all things nec essary to salvation; so that whatsoever la not read therein, nor may be proved there by. Is not to be required of any man, that It should be believed as an article of the faltb. or to be thought requisite or necessary to salvation. In tbs name of the Holy Pesipture we do understsnd those canonical books of the Old and New Testament, of hose authority was never any doubt in tn church. This is our Church's definition of Holy Scripture. It will be noted that the "Word of God does not occur in this Article. Our second Article treats "of th Word or Son of God." And begins, The Son which Is the "Word of the Father" indicates the true and proper use of the term "Word of God." according to the teaching of our Church. Jesus alone has the right to the title, as Is taught in St. John's Gospel. "In the .Beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was Ood." In the Interest of exact termlnalogy and definition, I objected to a usage of the term "Word of God," In any other sense. The foregoing opinion which I have expressed, is without doubt, that of Our Church. comparative purposes only, in replying to a fellow speaker. The newspaper writers erred, evidently, not so much in quoting Dr. Morrison, as In omitting the explanatory circumstances of his words. Yet tba drift and the meaning of his statement before th house of deputies are those of modern scholarship and of unfettered criticism, which oppose the old doctrines of miraculous and Infalli ble Hebrew Scriptures. Dr. Morrison is a very worthy minister in his church. H possesses spiritual qualities and Intellec tual attainments of high order and it is but Just that critics belonging to rival religious sects ohould allow him to pro ceed as he requests, "in his own quiet way." 4 STATES 70 COMPETE PORTLAND APPLE SHOW PRIZES ATTRACT. Bid Fruitgrowers Along Any Hill Line Eligible for $250 Cash Prize Offered. Another subject: a man named Father Gregory saw fit to send The Oregonlan a communication of criticism. Let me say that I respect and honor the Church of Rome. The Episcopal Church does not teach any theory of inspiration. That is a sufficient answer to him. Still another subject; your Issue speaks of my healing work. In this connection I have only to say that I have no rela tions with Dr. Worcester, of Boston. About eight years ago. before he began bis work in Boston, I delivered a course of lectures on psychic therapeutics in Trinity Parish house in Portland, for two successive Winters. For more than 20 years I have been a student of the subject and can claim to be somewhat familiar with it. I am certain It is en tirely in harmony with the teaching of Jesus. For the medical profession I have the greatest respect. My work is supple mentary to that of the physician, and I never encourage any one to give up either his doctor or medicine. I greatly dislike notoriety, sincerely wishing I may be allowed to proceed in my own quiet way, teaching and working with my people, witn wnom i nave oeen for 11 years, and who best understand me. generally I prefer to say nothing when criticized; it is scarcely worth while; but in this Instance, being away from home, it will please my people and friends to know the exact, truth. j A.
