14 CROWDS HEAR ' SERMONS Richard J. Cooke and Frank W. Warne Attract Great Audiences. WORDS ARE INTERESTING Xcw Oregon Church Head Preaches First Sermon Since Arrival In Portland AVarne Talks on India Mixtions. A jrreat crowd filled Taylor-street Methodist Episcopal Church yesterday morning. In spite of the hundreds from that church who are at the beach. Richard J. Cooke, the newly-arrived Resident Bishop of Oregon, was the speaker. He - took for his subject, "The Blessings of Discontent." He said, tn part: "It Is a lone way from a dugout to a magnificent Lusltania. But what has done it? Discontent! The fads and follies of the present time. the. fool Isms and other isms which are offered as substitutes for genuine religion offer no real satisfaction at last, for being at the heart, of a quack nature, they can bring no sure cure to the patient. The religion of Jesus Christ alone, the historic faith of Christendom, is the only faith which has ever regen erated the world, or which ever can. "This religion Is a religion of hope. To the man who is lost to God. It comes as the cheer of the morning, and bids him forget, to forget yester day, forget the things which have held him down, the things which are be hind, as the Apostle Paul said. "When a man forgets and repents. Ood forgives, and when God forgives he forgets. For. He says. I will re member your sins against you no more forever. I will blot them out.' " Bishop Wane AIM Talks. Last night Bishop Frank W. Warne. of India, spoke. He preached at Cen tenary Methodist Episcopal Church vesterday morning, and at both serv ices told of the advance of missionary work in India, He has been in that country for SO years and in that time has seen the number of adherents to the Methodist Episcopal Church grow from 10.000 to 560.000. He wishes to secure J 170.000 in order to clear the foreign mission society of debt. He left for Seattle and Vancouver. B. C last nlglt. He will visit his Srother. James r. Warne. at Van couver, and will prearh next Sunday in Seattle. He will return to Portland In time to address the meeting of the Methodist ministers at 10:30 o'clock Tuesday morning and the luncheon of Methodist business men at noon the same day. Bishop Warne took for his text yes terdsv morning Christ's command. Luke' 24:49: "Tarry ye In the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high." He endeavored to show that success ful Christian work Is well done when the church is clothed with spiritual power. This applies as truly to the rhurches In Christian lands," he said, 'as to mission work In non-Christian lands." Continuing, he said, in part: "Before I left New York I had a talk with Dr. John R. Mott. He told 3f a speech he made in London, during which a man objected to the emphasis placed upon the crisis in foreign mis sions. Dr. Mott replied. "I think the emphasis on the crisis in foreign mis sions Is greatly under-emphasised." and isked the - gentleman In what other ?entury 400,000.000-heathens had awak ened and been in a plastic mood, look .ng to see what Christian nations have to give them. "Not only is China awake, but In India there Is an awakening of 300, J00.O0O souls. There are great move ments in Japan. Corea. the Philippine Islands, Africa and the whole Moham--nedan world, toward Christianity. "If Christ, during the 19 centuries ince His crucifixion, had visited an Indian village a day. including Sun lays, there would remain 50.000 vll .ages in India still unvlstted. AwakeatlMjr. Saowa In ladla. - "When I went to India we had, after ?0 years of effort, a little less than 10.000 Christians. I have seen that grow by multiplication, until there is i Methodist Christian community of 160.000. For five years we have been gaining converts at the rate of S0OO a month. This great movement is due to the fact that the Indian church is working along New Testament lines, waiting upon God for the infilling of the Holy Spirit, as an equipment for witnessing before the non-Christians. "One of the outstanding character istics of the Indian church is Its mar velous prayer life. Herein. I believe, is a lesson for the home church. 'Zion advances on her knees.' Many of our people in India feel as much set apart to Intercede for the people as ministers 'n this country consider themselves et apart to be preachers of the gos pel, and they tithe their income. "As to political conditions, when I first went to India the people spoke of themselves as a conquered people. Thev now consider themselves British subjects. The unrest has largely dis appeared. They have been given elec tive representation on the Viceroy's Imperial Council, and a large member ship In the provincial governments. India will come to her place among the nations bv evolution. Her 300.000.000 Inhabitants will Identify themselves with the Christian nations of the West and stand with them In any possible struggle with what has been known as the 'yellow peril.'

Attorneys for Mayor Rushlight and Associates Will Demand Trial Today Halt Predicted. Dispute as to the date set for the trial of Mayor Rushlight. Chief of Po lice Slover. Captain of Detectives Baty, Clifford W. Maddux and Frank Keed, may be warm in Circuit Judge Ganten- beln s court this morning when the much-talked-of attempted bribery case is officially called to trial. The Dis trict Attorney's office, represented in the case by Lionel R. Webster, special prosecutorjwill maintain that the trial was arranged for. August 1, while At torneys John F. Logan and Dan J. Malarkey, for the defendants, will maintain that It was set for today. Each side will have good grounds for the contentions, inasmuch as there was an error made in publishing the date of the trial in the official news paper. According to Judge Ganten bein. who has agreed to hear the case, attorneys for both sides . visited him about two weeks ago. Frank T. Collier, representing the District Attorney's of fice and Attorneys Logan and Malarkey. for the defendants, and at that time set the date as July 29. Judge Gantenbein said yesterday he thought this was all settled until the announcement by District Attorney Cameron that he had called his witnesses for August 1, Wed nesday, and had arranged to begin the hearing at that time. He substantiated his opinion as to August 1 being the date by the notice in the official news paper. District Attorney Cameron says be took the notice for granted 'and made no effort to have his case ready by today. Attorneys for the defendants will in sist on "the trial beginning this morn ing. Mr. Malarkey said yesterday: "There can be no question as to the date the case was set. The two sides were before the Judge when he an nounced that he would -try the case If it was called for July 29. We want to get away from the juggling of the case. If it Is to be tried, why. delay? The whole proposition is based on politics and It Is a shame to waste the time of the court nd the money of the county In bringing it to trial. In the first place it Is necessary for the prosecution to show criminal Intent, which cannot be done." There is a question as to the inten tion of the District Attorney bringing the case to trial. As to his intentions he says nothing further than that wit nesses have been called and the ctise set for trial Wednesday. It may be that the case will be dropped and the energy of the District Attorney's of fice expended In pushing the new in dictment brought by the grand jury Saturday out of the same facts as the first Indictment. As to his intentions in this regard the District Attorney has made no announcement. - The defendants, under the first in dictment, which will be called for trial this morning, are charged with offering a public official a bribe. The indict ments were the outcome of efforts on the part of the officials indicted to trap Deputy District Attorney collier. The city officials used Maddux and Reed as tools for the trapping process, but their efforts failed. Just as Mr. Collier was supposed to take a bribe of 140. in payment for the dismissal of a suit now pending against Maddux and Reed, he turned the tables on tne ot ficlals who were trying to trap him. and had them all arrested and Indicted. Saturday a second indictment was returned agatnst the officials and the name of Detective-Sergeant Smith added to the list. The new Indictment charges the conspiracy on the part of the officers to hold Mr. collier, a puo lic officer, up to ridicule and scorn It is upon this charge that the District Attorney may try to secure a conviction THE 3IOKMG OKEGOMAX. 31QMJAV. JULY E DEATH OF UNKNOWN Man Thought to Be Adam Ba ker Left at Hospital by Tall Stranger. SKULL AND JAW FRACTURED Interne Told Patient Was Victim of Fipht Strang Telephone Call Received Front Un identified Man. A man of about SO -years, who. from the only direct clew in the hands of the police, is evidently Adam Baker, is Frank W. AVarne Bishop of India. lying dead at the morgue, as the re suit of Injuries sustained In a mysteri oils manner, and the police are trying to locate the stranger who took h.m to the Multnomah County Hospital in a large automobile early Sunday morn ing, and then hurried away without ex planation. Whatever agency caused the death of Baker, it must have included a blow of. lernric lorce. i n Dones oi nis jaws were shattered, several teeth were dis lodged, and the skull was fractured at the base of the brain. The man's In Juries Indicated that the blow must have been dealt him from underneath the chin, but what accident or willful violence could have affected him in that manner City Physician Zlegler is unable to determine. The nature of the injuries are as strange as the manner in which the man was brought to the hospital. - Companion Harriett Away. According to attendants at the hos pital, a large touring car drove up to the entrance about 1:40 A. M. Sunr'iy. containing Baker and another man. Henry Miller, a night attendant, went to the door and received the patient. According to his statement to the po lice, the companion of the injured man appeared greatly agitated, and scarcely waited for the patient to get into the hands of the attendant before leaving. "When the man came to the door, he turned Baker over to me and told me to care for him, as he was Injured,' Miller told the police. "Then, with a parting word to the injured man. he hurried down the steps and speeded away in his car. I was busy with the patient and did not think about asking any questions. From his condition then I did not think he was seriously in jured, for he could walk with slight aid." After hasty treatment had been given Baker, the city physician was notiuen The hospital authorities were told to send the man to St. Vincents Hospital and the Red Cross ambulance was callefl. He died shortly after being placed in the ambulance, 20 minutes after having 'en received at tne nos pital. Knife Bears Name "A. Baker." Baker was evidently a laboring man. In his pockets were found 35 cents in change, a knife bearing the name "A. Baker" on It. and a round brass check bearing the number 16. The check is such as is frequently given by. con tractors to their men for purposes of identification. It may also be the key tair of some lodging-house. Baker was about 30 years old, five feet nine inches tall and rather stout. He was smooth shaven and of rather clean-cut appearance. He wore a pair of blue serge trousers, with narrow hairlines, but had on no coat. He wore a new pair of cheap black shoes. No. 8 size, .and had a red neck tie and a soft gray felt hat. which was in good condition. . Hospital Is Telephoned. Detective Hellyer was assigned to the case yesterday, but failed to secure an identification of either the dead man or of his companion. s Telephone Inquiry Made. It was reported at the Multno mah County Hospital yesterday eve nine- that a man's voice had called over the telephone and InqHilred how "Adam Baker" was getting along. The party was told that there was no such person at the hospital, but that he may have been the man that died early in the morning on the way to St. Vincent's Hospital. The party' then hung up the receiver abruptly before anv questions could oe asked. At tne undertaking establishment of Dunning & McEntee, where the body is lying, however, no Inquiry had beea received about the man at a late hour last night. The fact that the man who called over the telephone last night asked for "Adam Baker," coupled with the find ing of the name "A. Baker" on the knife, in . the possession of the dead man. apparently established his iden tity so far as the name is concerned. The Portland directory contains no name of A. Baker which could be con nected with the dead man. The theory of the police is that Baker was struck by the driver of the automobile as he was going home, and then, fearful of publicity, and not thinking him seriously injured, the driver made an agreement with the injured man -to say that he had been hurt some other way. He was under the influence of liquor when taken to the hospital, and It is pointed out that while in this condition he probably got in the way of the automobile, and was struck. MYSTERY FLOS At the Multnomah County Hospital he seemed daied, but spoke to Dr. B. L. Brook, an interne, who attended him. "I was hurt in a fight at Third and , : -. . V. a tnlfl rr. Brook ..jui uauu oLiccd, - . . when questioned as to how he sus tained his Injuries. Although the police have made in quiry they could learn of no fight in that vicinity late Saturday night. He had been coached to say this, the police think. When the man who brought the vic tim to the hospital left, he said hastily. "I'll call around and see you tomor row." The car approached the hospital on Second street, from the north. When it left it went north, a short distance and then turned irrits tracks and pro ceeded south. From this fact, the po lice argue that the occupant evidently lived in the South Portland district. This theory appears further strength ened bv the fact that the man was aware of the location oi tne nospiwii. xne location is an wnatuic vn3 generally known. t i . v. u flrtaA man was struck by the automobile seems to be substantiated by tne oust wnicn moo found on his clotning.

Kilpack at the Y. M. C. A. men's meeting yester dav afternoon. He is the traveling agent for the Boys' and Girls' Aid So ciety. M. Kstes Snedecor. an attorney, was also a . speaker, taking for his subject. "Laws Regulating Child La bor." He told of the trend oi civmza- -i : t ottituHe triwnrH children. and referred incidentally to laws gov erning the labor oi women, in uresn. he said, women may worn mi mui. than nine hours a nay. ana cnnaren ten hours, but children under 16 years of age may not work ' later than 7 P. M. ' . "It is a burning shame." said Mr. Kilpack. "that we ih Oregon are al lowing feeble-minded children to roam at large. I can take you Into schools i i tn thi i-Hv where there are feeble-minded children who ought , ! ' inctttntinn where thev iu. ii.- 11, ....... . can be properly cared for. We have a home, but hundreds are on the wait ing list. It is false economy to allow these children at large. "We have in the Boys' and Girls' Aid Society a number of children who are abnormal, and who ought to have special training. They are the result of hereditary influences. "Poverty is one of the leading causes of crime. We don't have as much of it here as they do in the East, and whether we ever do will depend upon our industrial conditions. "The majority of children who come to us come from broken homes. I can't understand how women can get the idiotic idea of marrying men to reform them. It usually results In breaking up the family. . We need to see that the environment of the chil dren Is what it should be, by pre venting unfit persons from marrying. I am appalled at times by the abso lute indifference of parents In regard to their children. "When children are brought in, more often It is the parents who need to be punished. In England parents who neglect their children are sent to the workhouse, and we will have to do it in this country. T.An-..in in ft imllR nre a. men ace to the children. We have plenty of them nere in uresuu, Portland, but in other towns as well. "It is not generally known that we have laws prohibiting boys from fre quenting poolrooms and smoking cig arettes. There is no trouble in secur ing convictions, if the law is enforced. But the police are too busy looking for drunks and thieves to look for minors.' Mr. Kilpack urged the establishment of more playgrounds, even In Eastern Oregon towns, and the opening of the schools for social gatherings evenings. He praised the Social Hygiene Society for its work. He said the Boys' and Girls' Aid Society has 500 children un der its care in Oregon homes. JOKE PALLS ON UNION MEN Armed Escort for.Boycott Sandwich Man Forced to Desist. When the Moving-Picture Operators Union placed a "sandwich man" with an "unfair-to-organlzed-labor" sign in front of the Fun Theater at 209 First street Saturday night, the proprietor went them one better and furnished two bodyguards, one armed with a rifle and the other with ahotgun. to ac company the herald of organized labor in his march to and fro. Oblivious of the bodyguards, the signcarrier con tinued to pace tip and down in front of the theater, and the gunmen kept step with him with precision. For a time the humor of the situa tion appealed to the crowds and tho theater was doing a good business .as a result, but later irs the evening tho tactics of the theater man began to pall on the union sympathizers who witnessed the affair. Finally a crowd of them gathered and began to make things look ugly, when Patrolman Mad den ordered the gunmen to desist. L. Lesser and E. Zollen were the carriers of the guns.
