Vanderlip and George M. Reynolds Present Objections to Compulsory Feature of Currency Bill. CHICAGO, Oct 30. J. J. Hill and Frank A. Vanderlip, the speakers to- night at the banquet that closed the convention here of the Investment Bankers' Association of America, each mounded a note of warning to the busi ness interests of the country. Mr. Hill, whose subject was "Railroad Financing of the Future." declared that 'the country Is waterlogged with bonds. Confidence cannot bo restored," he said, "until the namo bond has won back something- of its old standard, Mr. Hill said the "reckless issuing of this kind of paper without proper se curity" had brought about a change "Instead of a man's word being as good as his bond." he added, "his bond Is no better than his word. The in vestor is not sure today of either or the ability or the intention of the so liciting borrower to pay at maturity. Issues must be limited by moderation conformed to the value of the security nn i.Ti fi n art n th mftre-In of safety and the form of credit for which the bond was originally designed.1 Mr. Vanderlip said that Congress was In danger of saddling the country with a ruinous policy of flat money. The Senate, he said, was hesitating and fearful of doing anything against the wishes of the House. "Flat Currency" Attacked. Mr. Vandprlln stioke on the nendinar banking legislation.

The central bank, he asserted. met every objection. Senate Weeds Guidance. "The hope for the removal of these obstacles to sound legislation lies in the creation of a public opinion that will be felt by the Senate. The force of such opinion will bring about the de- slred result," he continued "The Sen- aic is jiiieuecLuauy coiivincea luuuy. I They need only to know that the public Is convinced. They are fearful of the political situation and afraid to change front after the House has prepared the public mind for a regional system. "If the Senate could be convinced the puduc wantea a central came, Air. van derlip concluded, "sound legislation might be had in 30 days." George M. Reynolds, president of the Continental & Commercial Bank, of Chicago, attacked the bill as likely to I;ave an adverse effect on business. "I feel there are some features In the Administration bill so revolutionary and so unnecessary that I fear an at tempt to put it through in its present form will have such an adverse effect on the sentiment of the people that it win be reflected in business, he said. Forced Investment Criticised. I attack specifically the enforced entrance of National banks into the system through the requirement that i they shall furnish the capital and de- j posits with which to make it a success or have their charters dissolved, and which at the same time denies them representation on the board of control as unjust to the banks and contrary to tne spirit or Americanism. "The National banks which did not go in would be forced to liquidate their business within one year. "In the liquidation of a National bank one of the first things necessary is for the bank to deposit with the Treasurer r the United States lawful money to retire Its circulating notes. On June t. 131 3. the lawful money in the 7000 jdd National banks in the country was ?yi i.uuu.uou. "What would happen In the business vorld If those banks were to attemDt to deposit $730,000,000, or 8 per cent of their entire lawful money to retire the circulating notes, thus contracting the jawiui money to tne extent of three quarters of a billion dollars? "v here under the sun could the banks go to secure that vast sum of money, and, falling to secure it, what would become of our organization of credit?"

Samuel Hill was the principal speaker at tonight's good roads meeting here. His ad dress, which was Illustrated with a se ries of pictures taken in all parts of the world, held the audience spell bound. He urged the women "to take an ln- terest in good roads, and admonished them to register and vote each time the occasion presented Itself. He ex plained the value of good roads to community, and told .how to build them. He praised the work already performed by the officials of the State Highway Commission, and assured to people of Clatsop County that with whatever Major Bowlby and S. C. Lan caster were Intrusted the people could depend would be carried out. He had searched the United States for fiv years to find a man who knew how to build roads. He could find many men who knew how to build a watch bu few that could build a road. The State of Oregon could congratulate, itself upon acquiring the services of Major Bowlby, he said. Preceding Mr. Hill, Frank Terrace, farmer living near Seattle, related some experiences that made good roads converts by the bushel. His address was forceful, logical and spelled prog ress. Mr. Terrace said he was pros perous because good roads made him so. He was able to raise products on his farm and take them to market at a minimum cost.' Without good roads h would still be paddling in the mud, trying to eke out an existence, as in pioneer days. He told his audience that where he lived the county road cost as high as $20,000 per mile, bu King County settlers thought that cheap compared to the benefits derived The saving on the cost or transporta tion alone will pay the principal and interest for the construction of a good highway. Others of the visitors who spoke were Edgar B. Piper, president of the Portland Commercial Club C. S. Jack on, Julius L. Meier, president of the Columbia Highway Association; Rufus C. Holman and Dr. Andrew C. Smith, Each speaker advocated the construc tion of better highways throughout the state and urged the citizens of Clatsop County to be in the lead.

Benjamin Young Replies to Accusers in Document Containing 52 Pages. VOWS BROKEN, ALLEGATION Accusers Are Declared Guilty of Se dition and Schismatic Influence, -Being Blamed Wholly for Breach That Resulted. In 52 pages of spirited reading mat ter, the Rev. Benjamin Young, pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal ''hurch, through W. C Bristol, his at ti rney, yesterday filed in the Circuit Court an answer to that faction or the church membership which by in Junction proceedings is seeking to nullify consolidation of the old Taylor street and Grace Methodist Episcopal congregations in the Grace Church edifice, under his pastorate. In what could hardly be construed as the soft answer of Biblical admon ltion, the answer refers to the "mal contention, secession, sedition and schismatic influence of the plaintiffs and their resort to the adoption of tactics and influences contrary to the discipline of the Methodist Episcopal Church." Were It not for such alleged actions on the part of the plaintiffs, the answer asserts, each and every condition of the consolidation agree ment originally entered into between the two congregations "would have been duly, effectually and - advan tageously accomplished." Through Mr. Bristol the Rev. Mr. Young further makes the charge that 'n carrying a church quarrel into court the opposing faction has violated one of the most binding rules and condi tlons of membership in the church. VoiTs Declared Broken. Not only has this been done, it is charged, but even more, that it has violated the condition "that upon their reception as members Into the Institu tion they are admonished of the bless edness of the privileges and the sol emnity of the duties and are required publicly to renew their vows and de clare their purpose by answering. among other things beyond the mere adoption and vouching for the religious faith of said institution, that they and each of them will cheerfully be gov erned by the rules of the Methodist Episcopal Church and hold sacred the ordinances of God and endeavor as much as in each of them lies to pro mote the welfare of their brethren and the advancement of the Redeemer's kingdom." That all the plaintiffs are fully aware of these rules and aware that they are "without right or power in or among themselves or any or either of them to change or modify or set up their own opinions or Judgments or discretions against the lawfuly con stituted authorities of said cjurch," is alleged with warmth. The pastor maintains that in every action that has been taken to carry out the consollua tion agreement the authorities of the church have been within the rules of the church and proceeding with duly constituted authority. Court Jurisdiction Questioned. The principal Issue on which the de fense evidently intends to base its case, however, is not indicated until near the close of the 62-page answer. In ummary It is that, being a case in which a question purely of ecclesias tical government is involved, the civil courts have no jurisdiction. That the present case is an ecclesias tical case and one for ecclesiastical de termination only, is asserted. The answer otherwise specifically de nies all the allegations made in the pretended complaint," except those ad mitted to be allegations of fact. The answer is directed toward the following persons, members of the old Taylor- treet congregation, who were named as plaintiffs in the suit: C..W. Gay, W. H. Pope, Seth Rlggs, Mrs. W. H. Saylor, C. W. Nottingham, E. Bennett, Lot Taylor, A. Thurlow, W. H. Churchill, F. J. Steinmetz. John Wledrick. O. L. Price, Ernest Stans- bery, Charles P. Little, J. M. Burroughs, Robert S. Farrell, N. C. Thome, Jose phus Bulllvant, Dr. Frank M. Taylor, Mrs. H. A. Hale and Dr. Alan Welch Smith. DIFERENTfAL IS CONNED PORTLAND- HOTEL MEN DISCUSS RATE PREJUDICE. Extra Charge of $17.50 for Travel via Oregon Condemned by Bonifaces. More extensive, advertising of .Ore gon hotels, the establishment of an ad vertising bureau in New York City, and the unjust discrimination of passenger rates in favor of California were mat ters discussed at the first monthly meeting of the proprietors and man agers of the Portland hotels yester day. The hotel men were unanimous In declaring that Oregon's resources and attractions were not sufficiently ad vertised, and much interest and en thusiasm was manifested in the best methods of publicity. The suggestion of maintaining a live publicity agent in New York, a man who could be trusted to keep an absolutely neutral attitude, and was well acquainted with Portland and the whole state of Ore gon, was received favorably, although nothing definite was decided. A campaign to urge the railroads to remove the differential against Oregon, In favor of San Francisco, was decided. A round trip ticket from the East ern points to San Francisco, say the notei men, allows the Dearer to re turn via Los Angeles, and a ticket to Los Angeles permits a return via San Francisco without extra cost. But if he wishes to travel by way of Port land he must pay $17.50 extra. This is unfair, say the hotel men. because there is only about 200 miles difference between the distances. Luncheon was served in the Arca dian Gardens at the Multnomah Hotel. The next meeting will be held at the Portland Hotel November 27. SUIT IS TO HALT OFFICERS Owners of Livery Stable Building Ask Restraining Order. Suit to restrain Mayor Albee, Build ing Inspector Plummer and City Health Officer Marcellus from forcing the plaintiffs to tear down the building, used as a livery stable, at the corner of Fifth and Taylor streets, was filed yesterday by Ellis McLean and Charles R. Frazier. They charge that they The world is full of cheap clothes; and so long as there are plenty of men willing to pay real money for them, the crop will continue to be large. If it's simply a question of price with you in clothes buying, we're not "in it ;" but if you care more for value-given than price paid, we'll show you some thing interesting. Look at our suits and overcoats at "$25; if you think $12.50 or $15 is all you can afford, pay the price of two suits at one time $25 and get more real value than the two cheap suits would give. We make clothes that sell from $lS to $ 50. Hart Schaffner & Marx Good Clothes Makers SAM'L ROSENBLATT & CO. The Home of "Hart Schaffner & Man" Clothes. were served with a notice October 3 to raze and remove the building within five days and that on October 22 they were haled in Municipal Court for fail ure to comply with the order, and that unless the officers are restrained they will be arrested every day and fined If they continue to use the premises. The complaint says that the property is not insanitary and is not used for Insanitary purposes; that the buildirg Is worth $4000 and brings in a monthly Income of $250. The date for the hear ing of the case has not been set. ISLAND RECOVERY FAVORED Senator Lane Thinks Nation Will Be Loath to Give Up Revenues. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU", Wash ington, Oct 30. Miss Fern Hobbs, pri vate secretary to Governor West, had a conference today with Senators Chamberlain and Lane regarding Sand Island, in the Columbia River. She was strongly in favor of the Chamber lain bill, which proposes to reconvey title to this valuable fishing ground to tne state or Oregon, hut the bill Is opposed by the War Department, and its passage seems doubtful. Senator Chamberlain, if he cannot secure recession of the island, will In troduce another bill directing that the uovernment revenues from sand Island be turned over to the state. Senator Lane expressed the opinion that the Government would be loath to give up these revenues, amounting to 110,000 or $12,000 annually, but thought Congress might be induced to direct that the moneys received from fishing leases on band Island be expended in the establishment- and maintenance of fish hatcheries along the Columbia River and its tributaries, thus benefit ing both Oregon and Washington. Miss Hobbs will leave for Boston to morrow, and expects to return to Washington next Wednesday. YACHT COMES FROM NORTH John Borden, of Chicago, and Party Reach Victoria, B. C. VICTORIA, B. C, Oct 30.

The Bell Telephone system has covered the country with "good roads" for telephone talk, reaching every nook and corner. There are more than 12,000,000 miles of these "good roads"" in the Bell system. Some of them are strung in single pairs or in aerial cables from pole to pole; others are hidden away in under ground conduits; they cross lofty mountain chains; pass under mighty rivers and reach the heart of each industrial and .com mercial center of the Nation and to the most remote habitations. These "good telephone roads" of the Bell system are all operated by one system, under one policy, forming one continuous system of intercommunication. They connect more than 7,500, 000 telephones for universal service. Every Brll Telephone Ta Lone - Distance Station PROFESSOR H. T. FRENCH SUG GESTS COUNTY FUND.
