"I now more the court to require tlie defense to produce Kugene liuUer, an eve witness of this shooting." saM Mr. Malarkey after the state had rested. This precipitated a bitter battle of words between the attorneys. "That is another of Mr. Malarkey'a outrages." broke In Special Prosecutor I'avls.

Mr. Pavls: "Now, Mr. Malarkey. you are uttering a falsehood. There .is no evidence to show they were."

"Mr. Malarkey. that Is another deliberate falsehood." "Why did you stand up and conceal Mr. Huber t presence tn our statement to the Jury?" demanded Mr. Malarkey of the1 private prosecutor. "Why did he disappear after you talked to him today? Why did you run him out of the Courthouse this afternoon?" 'Mr. Pavls: Tou heard what I said a while ago about that."

Judge Uatens here recalled and dismissed the Jury till : Monday morning, caution ing them to pay no attention to the squabbling and ex-parte remarks of counsel, as they were not evidence. He also censured Mr. pavls for having re ferred to Mr. Malarkry's motion as out rageous In the presence o.' the Jury. The Jurors had hardly filed out when the attorneys opened up again. Mr. Davis on the floor. letkd Are Criticised. "I am not like my friend. Mr. Ma larkey here." was the opening remark of the private prosecutor. It Is hard for him to appreciate that I am fight ing for a principle and not provender In this case.

Mr. Pavls here referred to many spectators who have bee-n manifestly in (avor of the defense, aa "a con temptible) bunch" and a "laughing com mittee." The court. he Insinuated, had ruled In favor of the defense, more than the prosecution, and still the defense was not satisfied. He wanted to know If Mr. Malarkey was running botii sides of t he rase. "I am not hero to scold the court or cast reflections on Its rulings, saiu Mr. Malarkey In reply. "The remarks of'the private prosecutor In the last hour are contemptible and dlsgracef ul. What will th people think of our courts? Mr. pavls is howling 'this was allowed' and 'that was allowed.'" Mr. Pavls 1 haven't been a private prosecutor before. "That Is very evident." snapped Mr. Malarkey in reply. "You don't know how to conduct your case. For the same reason that you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear, a lawyer cannot he made of you. Because we inado this motion must we pit here and hear ourselves vllllfied with , blllngs gate? ' You hear this man talk about the public trough. He Is a man who got rich at the public trough.

"I defy Mr. Malarkey to point to one mortgage which I bought up and foreclosed on poor people. It's an absolute and unqualified falsehood." Juilse Oaten Mr. Malarkey. the Jury is not i.ere. and you are indulging In worse personalities and -lllif Icatlon than you objected to when it came from Mr. Pavls. Mr. pavls Your honor. I want to oh Je t to this man lying about me. "I might say. In passing." said the Judge, after ruling on the point, "that from this time on tliei court Is not go ing to permit sny more personalities between counsel.

BOILER TO BE INSPECTED Iloard ef Edncatlon to Guard Against I'lrc IantT. Thai reports on the condition of the boiler recently Installed In the Haw thorne School should be had from the fire department, building Inspector, boiler Inspector and Insurance men was the decision of the members of the Board of Education meeting yesterday. Clerk Thomas was directed to com municate with these officials regard ing this question. This action is the result of the numerous complaints and Inquiries relative to the installation, of the third oil-burning furnace in the basement of the Hawthorne School for the heating of the new domestic science building adjoining. At the last meting of the Board a delegation was present and requested that the furnace he taken out. The members of the delegation and the signers of the petition, offered a few days before, expressed the opinion that the new heating apparatus Increased the danger of fire In the school build ing, and advising that unless it were removed many pupils would be withdrawn.

Because he called a meeting of the prudTjitlal committee to consider the work of the church for the year, and then went to hear Schumann-IIeink at the Helllg Theater, while the com mittee struggled along with church problems without him: because he looked upon suggestions of the commit tee and members of the church as criti cisms, and because he expressed sym pathy for those who marched in the parade as a protest against Baden pnwrll srd the boy scouts these aro some of the reasons, according to those closely In touch with affairs at the F.ast Side Baptist Church, why Kev. Albert Ehrgott was dismissed from the pastorate. Aaaorlatloa With Atheist Charged. The fart that Tev. Mr. Khrgott went to see Schiimaiin-Heink In preference to attending the meeting of his pru dential committee was not in itself held against him so much as the fact that he accompanied Colonel C. K. S. Wood and then tol.l the church members at Thursday night's meeting, that "it was none of their business with whom ho went." according to a prominent mem ber of the church. "Hev. Mr. Khrgott' association with Colonel Wood, who is an atheist and who ts behind the "Modern School' in Portland, was one of the chief reasons for asking his Designation." said this member. "Mr. Khrgott. without au thority from the Thurch, got Colonel Wood to speak In the "People's Hall." although the hall Is one of the church Institutions. We did not believe that a man who stands anainst nearly all that the church means should have been invited- to speak there. "Mr. Knrgott In the final vote was not supported by any officer of the church. The votes sustaining him came from members who do not attend church regularly and who were in fluenced by his oratory that night. Those w-ho know conditions were op posed to him. especially as membership of the church has been falling off ever since Mr. Khrgott assumed the pas torate." "Where were you on Wednesday night? Answer that. Mr. Khrgott." whs the liery "way in which one of the church members took a fling at him at the meeting of the churcli Thursday right, when he was ousted. Mr. Khr gott told them ho attended the Hel llg Theater ot the night in question. Socialistic Tendencies Isaoe. "I suppose you are In sympathy with these fellows who marched around the streets," was the way one of the church members addressed the pastor a short time ago. according to report. "Yes. If I hail had time, I would have marched with them." Is reported to have been his answer. ""Then you approve of the breaking up of that meeting at the Uypsy Smith Auditorium, do you?" '"1 certainly do not. I don't approve of anything of the kind." It developed that Mr. Khrgott had not then heard that the meeting had been broken up. that this was the first Intimation that had come to him. Some of the church members Ray they are In sympathy with the work Mr. Khrgott was trying to do at the Peo ple' Hall, in conducting a labor bureau and holding meetings. But it is said suggestions made to him were met as criticisms and that If he was spoken to during the week he would "lambast the congregation on the following Sun day for not supporting Ills efforts. alary laereaae Aaked. Mr. Khrgott was receiving I1S00 a year salary and Is said to have' asked the prudential committee to consider, at the meeting he did not attena. tne in crease of this amount. This carried but llttlo weight, however. It Is said in bringing about his dismissal. "If he had nut lost his temper, and refused to be advised by members of the prudential committee, things would have gone on nicely." Is the way one expressed himself as to Mr. Khrgott's work. "Although the church members liked him personally, they felt he was not the man for the place. Influential members of other Baptist churches said they were sorry the Kast Side Baptist Church had to contend with his Ideas. There mas more criticism from other Baotlsts than from those who were members of bis church. The church in Cleveland. O.. of which Mr. Khrgott was pastor Before taking the 'Portland charge, ts said to have been spill on account of his ideas on social activity. Support Jald to He I.achlag. Mr. Kbrgott saUi yesterday the Kast Side Church "has sinned against God. man and society, against the practical In Christianity and democracy In the church. If the deacone of the church had supported me aa they should have done, there would never have been any trouble. Gossip, and a little group that spread l started all the trouble. In stead of supporting, the deacons helped in the gossip, and It spread into the church." The vote for the dismissal of Rev. Mr. Ehrgott 5 for and against Is nearly the same vote by which the resignation of Her. Wllilam'E. Kandall, pastor of the Second Baptist Church. East Ankeny and Kast Seventh streets, was accepted, and which resulted In the friends of Kev. Mr. Kandall leaving the church and forming the Central Bap tist Church. The only difference ' Is that Mr. Khrgott did not resign and Mr. Kandall did submit his resignation. The Kandall faction immediately with drew and formed the new Central Church, which met In the Woodmen Hall on Kast Sixth street until the Central Church was erected on East Twentieth and East Ankeny streets. That was about ten years ago. Rraaloa Waa Favored. i, The two churches, the Second Bap tist and Central, struggled along sep arately until a union was effected, through the efforts of Kev. H. S. Black.' who then was pastor of the Second Church and now pastor of Immanuel Church. Mr. Black saw that two Bap tist churches in Central East Portland could not survive and urged a re union. This w-as at the time of the call Of Rev. Mr. Ehrgott. who also favored the reunion. Before the merger was effected there was a long, bitter fight between the two churches, but the vounger element In both churches as sisted, and. led by Kev. Mr. Black, suc ceeded In merging the two churches, i BLOW MAY- PROVE FATAL Electrician Struck on Jaw Appnr x ently Is Dying. Apparently dying from what at first appcured to be-a slight scalp wound. W. A. James, a young electrician, is in SU Vincent's Hospital, while hls-alleged assailant. L. J. Gibbons, a barber, is held at the County Jail under bail of $S0O, awaiting developments. The af fray In which James wa-s so seriously injured occurred at the Oregon Electric depot at noon Thursday. Gibbons had an excellent chance to escape, if he so desired, through an error made yesterday morning, when his bail was fixed at JoO. The action was taken at the Instance of Deputy District Attorney Hennessy, who was Informed by telephone from the hospi tal t!;at James had recovered conscious ness and would be discharged. Katcr it was found that there had been a con fusion of Identities, and the surety was increased, before Gibbons had time to furnish the small amount required. James had been in a saloon and was somewhat under the Influence of liquor. As he came out the door he addressed some remark to Gibbons which was not heard by the bystanders, and In a mo ment. Gibbons replied with an uppercut blow which raised James from bis feet and knocked him over. As he fell his head struck the sidewalk and he was rendered unconscious. He has not yet recovered his senses, and the hospital physicians believe that his skull is slightly fractured. TAZWELL REBUKES CHIEF OF POLICE Patrolman Griffith Denounced by Court Who Impugns Truth of Testimony. DEPARTMENT IS GRILLED Insincerity and Neglect Charged in Handling of Case Against 20 Frenchmen Arrested in Xortli End for Vngrajiey. TWO Y. M. C. A.'S IN SIGHT Both Pendleton and l.a Grande Probably Will Found Associations. Both Pendleton and Ka Grande will have Young Men's Christian Associa tions In a comparatively short time, in the opinion of I. B. Khodes. Oregon Idaho secretary of the Y. M. C. A., who has just returned from those cities. Mr. Khodes recently attended meetings of citizens in the two cities, at which the KUbjeet of raising funds for Y. M. C. A. buildings was discussed. "The Y. M. C. A. moves slowly in establishing new associations," said Mr. Khodes yesterday. "It always de sires to maitf certain that a city Is ready to support an association to a degree that assures success. Pendle ton and La Gramle citixons express themselves as heartily in favor of the movement, and I hope it will lead to definite results. An encouraging cir cumstance in Pendleton was a petition largely signed by high-school students, asking for an association.. Mr. Khodes will leave next week for California, to attend the Pacific Coast Students' Conference at FReific Grove, and the state convention at Pasadena. On his return he will again visit Pendleton and Iji Grande, to take up further the Y. M. C. A. projects there. PERS0NAL MENTION. A. W. McKillops. of Seattle, is at the Bowers. F. B.

Two stinging reprimands were be stowed upon members ot the police de partment In Municipal Court yesterday by Judge Tazwell, who spared no words in denouncing acts that mot with his disapproval. In one case Chief Slover and the whole department came in for a rebuke, while the other was direct ed solely at Patrolman Griffith, whose word the court said would no longer be alrrepted under oath. Insincerity and neplect were charged against the force generally mhett the court dismissed charges of vagrancy brought against ;n Frenchmen whom the police arrested in the North End a week ago. "I cannot bring myself to the belief that there was any sincere pnrposo in arresting these -0 persons upon such flimsy evidence as was ad duced at the trials." said the court. Politics Seen In Arrests. It was acknowledged at the time ot the arrests that the raid had been made to "pass the buck" to District Attorney Cameron, who had fathered severo criticisms of the moral condi tion of the city, ascribing the condi tions to the laxity of the police. Tak ing the stand that he could not obtain results unless backed by the prose cutor and the courts. Chief Slover caused the Frenchmen to be arrested. The trials developed llttlo evidence against the prisoners, most of whom were found to be men of substance or regularly employed. It was noted at the time that the more notorious dive keepers of the North End were not in cluded In the list. In a lengthy written opinion, the court suggests that judicious inquiry by the police would be effective in hunting out the true macquercaux. as was done some months ago when a number of them were convicted. More concentration on the most flagrant rases is urged, rather than Indiscrimi nate arrests. The failure of the ad ministration to cope with the nuisance of street agitators is referred to. with lh, ciKrraqtinn that the citv be ridded j of this evil. The other attack, upon Patrolman Griflith. was made with the officer standing before the bench. It arose through a report reaching the judge that Griffith, after recommending a suspended sentence in the case of Mrs. A. Ellabrock. accused of running the Glenwood Hotel at Second and Salmon streets as a disorderly house, had gone to the chief and complained of the ac tion of the court. At the time of the trial, the arrest ing officers, after producing testimony that Mrs. Ellabrock was a- procuress, advised the court to suspend sentence to stave off an expected appeal, saying that with an uncontested conviction recorded against her, it would be easy to catch her again and impose a severe penalty. The court acceded to this re quest, "but later received a protest from Chief Slover, who said his officers were dissatislled with the court's action. Suspension la Itevoked. I'pon this the suspension was re voked yesterday, morning, a fine of $'-00 was imposed, and Griffith was called In for castigation. He was told that ho was trying to put the court into dis repute, that his testimony had long been viewed with suspicion and would no longer be accepted without strong corroboration. The court cited another Instance where Griffith was reported to have admitted privately that he be lieved he had arrested the wrong man. but refused to take the stand and so testify. Griffith told the court that a misun derstanding existed: that he had, in fact, reported to the chief that the suspension was at his request. He de nied having criticised the action to anyone.
