CITY NEWS IN BRIEF
Pahties deslrtaff offices ic The Oregon
Ian building, may Inquire of Portland
Trust Company of Oregon, No. 129 First
street, or the superintendent In the build
ing. Saundebs ix Spokane. Captain TV. TV.
Saunders, recently pardoned from the pen
itentiary, is at Spokane, where he con
templates locating-, instead of going to
Texas. After leaving the Oregon peniten
tiary. Saunders went to Spokane, and Im
mediately hunted up George TV. Belt, for
merly prosecuting attorney of the third
district of Oregon, and now of that city.
The Spokane Chronicle gives a long story
of the arrival of the pardoned convict.
and narrates the story of the crime. The
story concludes: " I am not at
ail ashamed to have people know
I have served a term of imprison
ment for killing a man in defense of a
woman's honor said Saunders yesterday,
drawing himself proudly up to his full
majestic height. I am still a young man
and hope to again become a useful and
respected citizen.' Saunders is only o7
years of age. His imprisonment precluded
the pos&ibllity of his marrying the girl of
his choice, who Is now said to be a resi
dent of Boise, Idaho. Police Sergeant
Charles Barlow knows Saunders well,
having been a guard at the Oregon peni
tentiary when Saunders was admitted."
The Chronicle gives to Mr. F. P. Hogan.
of Spokane, formerly of Roseburg, the
entire credit of the capture of Saunders
after he had escaped from jail. This is
incorrect. Saunders captors were D. B.
ilonteith, of Albany, and Mr. Kogan. Mr.
Monteith had quite as much, If not more,
to do with it as Mr. Hogan.
Their Ixsupjixcb Garnished. A piece
of business, which San Francisco mer
chants, perhaps, consider very shrewd, but
which Is characterized by Portland busi
ness men as a contemptible piece of work,
has Just come to light. Dun's Mercantile
Agency yesterday received a dispatch
from the San Francisco Merchants' Pro
tective Association, to the effect that the
association had garnished the insurance
of Chrisman Brothers, of Silver Lake.
This is the unfortunate firm which was
bdrned out In the terrible holocaust
Christmas eve. The Insurance amounts
to 52300. The Chrlsnians have ample
means with which to pay all their debts.
They have written to a. wholesale firm In
this city, explaining that their delay In
settling their account is unavoidable. AH
their time has teen taken up In attend
ing to the dead and injured in the stricken
town. The Portland creditors are lenient
-n ltn the firm, and have offered them every
assistance. One local jobber has written
to them that they can order from him
to any extent. The creditors here are
highly Indignant at the course pursued by
the San Francisco people under the cir
cumstances, and they are .goiug to hold
a meeting and telegraph a strong protest
to San Francisco, asking the association
there to release the unfortunte firm's
insurance.
For the Sake of Charity: Tomorrow
morning, the soliciting committee of the
tity board of charities will commence its
annual round of the business houses of
the city to secure subscriptions for its
gupport for the coming year. In the
course of a few weeks, every resident of
Portland who is able will be given an op
portunity to subscribe to thU Institution,
which did such efficient work during
the hard times last winter. The amount
asked of each subscriber Is In accordance
with his means, and, when paid in
monthly Installments, is but a trifling bur
den, while the aggregate amount of all
subscriptions, when placed at the disposal
of such an Institution, managed by some
of the foremost business and professional
men of the city, will be sufficient to pre
vent suffering among the destitute and
unemployed. The general charities meet
ing at the Marquam Friday evening was
attended by many prominent persons who
have taken great Interest In the work, and
the result has been a general re-enlistment
of Interest among all classes of peo
ple. The soliciting committee of the city
board of charities should be able to se
cure generous subscriptions this year.
A Joint Installation. The joint instal
lation of Sumner post, G. A. It., and Sum
re r Relief Corps, took place last night at
Smith's hall, on Union avenue and Fast
Pine streets. There was quite an attend
ance from both bodies, and considerable
interest was aroused. D. D. Neer was in
stalling officer for the post, and the fol
lowing were the officers Inducted Into
office: Post comirander, J. A. Brown;
enlor vice-commander, M. L. Pratt; ju
nior Ice-commander, A. D. Sharuo; chap
lain, TVilllam Bates; quartermaster, G. J.
Ross; adjutant, E. J. Mayo. After Mr.
Xeer had Installed these officers, Mrs.
Brtie M. Smith officiated for the Relief
Corps, Installing the following officers:
President, Mrs. Emma Tomllnson; senior
, jre-prcsldcnt, Ivey Stedman; junior vice
president, Mrs. R. Schmeer; chaplain,
Mrs. Sharno; treasurer, Emma Browning:
conductor. Mrs. England. After the offi
cers of both post and corps had been duly
installed, appropriate remarks weie made
by D. D. Neer. Mrs. Bertie Smith. TV. B.
Tajlor. C. J. TVard and others. Refresh
ments were then served, and the remain
der of the evening was spent in social
amusements.
Ot'T on PAnoLE. The three boys, James
Clyett. Frank TVilkenson and Frank
Hemsworth, all IS years of age. who were
charged In the municipal court with bur
glary, were, on account of their youth,
yesterda. allowed to plead guilty to petty
larceny and fined $00. Sentence was sus
pended and they were, turned over the to
the Boys' &. Girls' Aid Society, pending
their good behavior. Superintendent
Gardner has allowed them to return to
their homes on parole. They will have to
report every Saturday morning to him
-'ntil further notice, and failing to com
ply with this rule, they will be returned
for sentence. There are now nine boys
en the parole list, and the plan works
admirably, saving the boys from serving
sentence in penal institutions.
Free Funnr Disabled. The rising of
the waters of the Willamette has disabled
th free-ferry landing on either side of the
r ver to such an extent as to prevent pas
tengers from getting on and on safely.
The flood last spring partly broke the
pontoons, which were not fully repaired.
The small ferry John L. Stephens was
used until about noon yesterday, when
trips were suspended. The short time the
ferry was operated free to the public
s-eemed to demonstrate its advantage.
During the time the street cars were not
running, the ferry was used dally by hun
dred. An effort is to be made to make
the ferry permanently free, and several
rromlncnt men have already commenced
igiiating the matter.

The Governor! Generositt. Explan
atory of a dispatch from TVlIllamstown.
Mass., in yesterday's Oregonian, It appears
that Governor Pennoyer has endowed
Williams college, with a scholarship of
$3500, In memory of his son Horace, who
recently died there while a student. He
has also given $500 to the Alpha Delta PM
Society, of which his son was an honored
member. The 5300 given by Governor
Pennoyer Is to be placed at interest. Ac
cording to the rate fixed by law in Mas
sachusetts, the Interest on $3500 will be
$210 per year. The price of a scholarship
Is $105 a year, so the Interest will pay
each year for two scholarships. This is
to pay for the tuition of poor but de
serving students, and preference Is to be
given to young men from Oregon. The
governor states that this is the second
Pennoyer scholarship in New England.
William Pennoyer, of Norfolk county.
England, endowed Harvard college in the

is again in jail. Grand Recorder Clarke,
of the A. O. U. W., yesterday swore to
an information charging Hunter with ob
taining money under false pretenses, and
Detectives Simmons and Welch arrested
the man at 4 o'clock. The confession of
Banker has placed Hunter and his son in
a bad light, and the officers of the order
do not care to take any chances In their
being at large, unless protected by heavy
bail.

CHURCH PROPERTY AGAIN
A Second Letter by Mr. McCnmnnt in
Reply to Dr. Brown.
PORTLAND. Or., Jan. 4. (To the Ed
itor.) I have read with Interest Dr.
Brown's reply to my communication pub
lished in your paper, January 2. The doc
tor is entitled to an explanation and a
correction of my article In one respect.
It Improperly and inadvertently spoke of
him as favoring the exemption of church
property from taxation as It now exists.
Dr. Brown's concession of the propriety
of taxing all property not actually used
for purposes of worship compels him,
however, to occupy an Illogical and in
consistent position. His second, third and
fourth arguments. If they are sound at all,
certainly support the position he repudi
ates in this morning's Oregonlnn.
In his sermon, Dr. Brown contended
In the first place that churches should be
exempt from taxation, because their prop
erty Is not productive. When asked for
a distinction which would justify an ex
emption of church property on this
ground, while private, unproductive
property is subject to taxation, the doctor
says, "If a man holds unimproved real
estate he holds It for purposes of income
or speculation." We fall to see why this
should make any difference, unless the
doctor calls his third argument to the aid
of the first one. We dispute, however,
that all unimproved real estate Is held for
purposes of income or speculation. If It
is unimproved real estate, it certainly
brings in no income, and there are thou
sands of pieces of unimproved real estate
in Oregon held today, not for purposes of
speculation, but rather because the own
ers are unable to sell, even at a sacrifice,
and no one questions the propriety of tax
ing such land.
Dr. Brown's second argument was that
the individuals who composed the own
ership of the churches, are taxed, and
therefore the taxation of churches would
constitute double taxation. In replying
to this argument I did not allude to the
well-established legal definitions of double
taxation, which would have been a suf
ficient answer. I did, however, state that
the Chamber of Commerce was as much
entitled to exemption on this ground, if
it were a ground for exemption, as any
church. Dr. Brown, in reply to my prop
osition In this regard, says that the Cham
ber of Commerce Is an organization which
exists for business purposes, whereas the
church exists solely for the benefit of
the community. He thus calls his third
argument to the aid of his second. If the
second is sound at all, it should count
for something without calling to Its aid
the proposition that churches are a pub
lic benefit.
Dr. Brown desires to know why public
schools are exempt from taxation. The
answer is that they are public property.
The taxation of public schools would
amount to the government reaching down
in one pocket and bringing out money to
put into the other. The doctor does not
deny that exemption Is a subsidy, but he
states that the church is as much entitled
to a subsidy as the school. The answer
to this argument is that if it proves any
thing, it proves that the churches are
entitled to state support in full; in other
words that there sheuW be a union be
tween church and state. The fallacy in
the argument, however. Is this: That the
whole public is agreed as to the necessity
of maintaining schools, and as to the ben
efits derived by the community from pub
lic education. As stated In my forme
communication, the public are not agreed
that any Individual church is a public
benefit. This Is proved by the letter Mr.
J. R. Reed published in this morning's
Oregonian. 1 did not state, as quoted by
Dr. Brown, that Presbyterians are agreed
that the Unitarian church Is a bore. My
statement was that the average Preaby
terten and the average Roman Catholic
vmsW probably agree that the Unitarian
church was a bane rather than a btess
inr This proposition I atin maintain.
and It Is not disproved by the dissent of
one Presbyterian, whose theological views
are so Hberal as those of Dr. Brown.
I am not arguing that any church does
more harm than good. My argument Is
that there are individuals In a commu
nity who believe that certain churches do
more harm than good. It is not true that
I stated that the taxation of church prop
erty would close one-half of the churches
In Oregon. This statement was Dr.
Brown's, and not mine. I have no Idea
that it would have this effect. Dr.
Brown Is my authority for the statement
that churches are subject to taxation in
California. A few weeks ago I had the
pleasure of listening to a very scholarly
discourse from Dr. Brown on the state
of religion In California, and in the course
of that discourse he reviewed the various
obstacles with which churches had to
contend in that state. He failed, how
ever, to mention the subject of taxation.
It Is fair to presume, therefore, that tax
ation Is not a serious obstacle to the
growth of religion in California, and that
in Oregon it would not constitute any
such burden as is contended for.
Referring to my historical argument in
favor of the position I take. Dr. Brown
says the abuse which led the English gov
ernment to confiscate church property,
grew out of the fact "that the church
held vast properties which were not used
for religious, educational or charitable
purposes, but which were held for pur
poses of Income or speculation." It Is true
that the abuse Dr. Brown speaks of was
one of the abuses sought to be corrected
by the statutes of Mortmain, but these
statutes and the statute of uses had been
In force for centuries prior to the con
fiscation of church property, and it had,
therefore, been hard or impossible for
churches to acquire property of that kind
for many generations. There was, how
ever, another abuse scarcely less seri
ous, In the accumulation of large quan
tities of land in and about the many
monasteries and convents. This land was
essential to the existence of these Insti
tutions and in the judgment of the old
church was as much used in the worship
of God as was the land on which a cath
edral was erected. My position is that
any system of laws which favors the ac
cumulation of land In the hands of ec
clesiastical corporations. Inevitably leads
to the withdrawal of too much land from
private ownership, to the serious inter
ference with private business, and the
great damage of the state. This proposi
tion is certainly supported by the histor
ical argument referred to.

A FRUITLESS SEARCH.
The Grant Conld Vot Find Any Trace
of the MihNingr Collicm.
PORT TOWNSEND, Wash. Jan. 5.
The United States cutter Grant returned
today after a cruise of two weeks in
search of missing vessels. The cruise
extended from the Columbia river to Cape
Scott. No Indications of wreckage were
found. While coming up the straits today
she overlook the overdue Nicaraguan
bark Dominion, which had been about
given up as lost. The latter vessel made
no special report. The Grant did not
see any sign of the missing colliers.
PORT TOWNSEND, Wash.. Jan. 5.
The Nicaraguan bark Dominion arrived
fate tonight, after a continuous stormy
passage of 31 days from San Francisco.
The vessel lost a full suit of sails, and
the iron main lower tcpsall yard. From
the day of sailing until taken in tow by
the tug Discovery, off Cape Flattery, a
succession of storms were encountered
The water was nearly exhausted when the
vessel arrived, and tha crew had been on
a short allowance for several days. The
Dominion reports speaking the British
bark Comliebank, 62 days out from Aca
pulco, for the Columbia river.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. S. Nothing
definito has been, learned as to the fate
of six of the crew of the wrecker Sam
son. Captain Whitelaw went to the scene
of the wreck yesterday, and has not re
turned. After the Samson grounded on
the beach, she burned to the water's
edge. It Is still thought that there is no
reason for anxiety concerning the men,
as four of them were seen on the shore
by the captain of the tug Reliance. The
Samson wis built in 1S91 at a cost of
$30,000. She was fitted with steam pumps
and powerful wrecking machinery. Cap
tain Whitelaw carried an insurance of
51C.0W.

Miner.- Terrible Fate.
TTllHam McKeiver, of Stehekln. Oka
nogan county, has apparently met his
death either in a. snowslide or by freezing.
He made a camp at the head of the Ste
hekln river early In the fall, with the In
tention of trapping during the coming
winter. McKeiver was to make one trip
to the head of the lake for provisions
aboot December 1. Xot being heard of for
some days after the appointed time, his
friends concluded to make a visit to his
camp, a trip of 20 miles, on snowshoes.
Upon arriving, they found bis cabin and
outfit in good order, also his rifle, but as
the fresh snow was quite deep, no sign
of him or his traps could be found. A
diary was found, but no date had been
observed since the first quarter of No
vember. Cougar signs were plentiful
around his line of traps and cabins, and
it is considered more than likely that his
body wiU never be found.
WHO PAYS THE BILL.
Controversy Over the Repairs to the
City Crematory.
The health and police committee of the
city council met yesterday afternoon to
consider the payment of a bill of $G0O, pre
sented by Hobkirk & McKenzie. contract
ors, for repairs to the city crematory.
Mr. T. N. Strong, attorney for Hobkirk
& McKenzie, was present, as was also Mr.
C. J. Schnabel, attorney for the Oregon
Fertilizer Company, and" these gentle
men at once became engaged in an ar
gument as to who was responsible for the
damage to the crematory.
City Attorney Giltner precipitated trou
ble by declaring that the city could not be
held responsible for the payment of the
bill, Inasmuch as Hobkirk & McKenzie.
when they contracted to build the fur
nace, had agreed to keep It in repair for
one year, and that year has not yet ex
pired. Mr. Giltner held, on the other
band, that If the Oregon Fertilizer Com
pany was responsible for the damage to
the furnace, it must stand the expense of
repairing It.
Mr. Schnabel took the position that his
company had nothing to do with the mat
ter, inasmuch as the city employed the
contractors without consulting the Oregon
Fertilizer Company, or any one, for that
matter: but in view of the fact that the
contractors were making statements in
uring to the detriment of the company,
he desired to intervene and to protect
his company's rights. He said that the
Oregon Fertilizer Company has, at all
times, during the erection and repair of
the furnace, looked after the city's in
terest, inasmuch as the company was
to operate it for the city.
Mr. T. N. Strong, attorney for Messrs.
Hobkirk & McKenzie, stated on behalf of
his clients, that they erected a first-class
furnace, that it was accepted by the city
and that the fault, .If any, has subse
quently arisen whUe operated by the
Oregon Fertilizer Company.
Mr. Schnabel, in reply, stated that his
company took it upon Itself, on the day
of acceptance of the furnace, to point out
certain defects and did all that an outsider
could do to have these defects cured.
Owing to the absence of material wit
nesses the further hearing of the case
was continued until next Thursday, at 10
A. M.
"THE FLYER."
Success of TIiI Populnr Little Steam
er on the Sonnd.
On her last trip for 1891, on December
31 last, the steamer Flyer, owned by the
C. R. & P. S. Navigation Company, closed
the year with a record that Is probably
unequaled by any steamboat in this or
any other country.
On her six-days-a-week run she had
steamed 68,695 miles, making 1249 round
trips between the cities of Tacoma and
Seattle, without a single accident of any
klnd. and the total loss of time for the
whole year was only forty-three minutes.
During 1S94 she handled many thousands
of passengers, and much express matter
without the loss of a single piece, or the
slightest injury to any passenger.
In recognition of the record made by
the Flyer, a number of its regular patrons
recently subscribed to a1 purse for Cap
tain Jordlson, her popular commander.
