viPii&iri&v3' 8 THE MOHNlNa OftEGOMAN, -F-BIDA-Y. ''JULY 2G, 19.01 vmmmmmmm TWO SLASHING PLAYERS VICTORIA HAS MEN' IN THE TENNIS TOURNAMENT. Govrs,rd. and Pooler Malce Victims Out o Ever?- One Opposed to Them Today's Schedule. The work of A. T- Goward and R. J. Pooley, of Victoria, B. C, was the feat ure In the second' day on the Multnomah tennis courts. Cool and imperttfrable the two Englishmen swept through the ranks of their opponents In a swift, cleVer fashion. Goward had a hard day'& work mapped -out for him three matches In men's singles,! one in men's doubles, and one in mixed doubles. In every contest he was victorious. His accuarte placing, hl3 quick, steady strokes, and the severe cut he gives the hall, pulled him out easily in every set. In no match yesterday was he forced to his utmost. He played quietly and with out much exertion. Experts are wonder ing how much he has up his sleeve to draw upon when he meets Champion Goss. When the two came together It will be a battle royal. R. J. Pooley, the other Victoria man, had also his share of success, winning his twa -matches in the men's singles, and playing with Goward In the doubles. Pooley has more of a clashing style than Goward, and he at tempts more difficult strokes. His drives, however, often go wild. Goward .started one In his advance to the finals by defeating James Wilson, 6-3 6-0, the latter going down before his opponent's choppy strokes, which were placed Just where they could not be reached. His match with Maurice Cheal was exciting and drew the crowd. It re sulted, 6-2, 6-1. Cheal could not fathom the curves of the balls that flew off the Englishman's racket, and his own drives were not of their usual effectiveness. Brown was Goward's last victim In the afternoon, 6-1, 6-L Pooley administered a like defeat to LaFarge, 6-3, 6-0, and to Ewing, 6-4, 6-1. Today Goward will meet Carl Lewis in the semi-finals, while Pooley will contest with Brandt Wicker sham in the second round. Goward and Pooley administered an pasy defeat In the men's doubles to Gil bert and Letter, the scores being 6-0, 6-2. The .former were not especially strong In team work, but won more on the effec tiveness of their individual strokes. The two also played in the mixed doubles. Goward and Mrs. Cooke defeated Ed Morse and Miss Carstens. 6-3, 6-3, in an interesting match. Pooley and Mrs. Baldwin were defeated by Goss and Miss Heltshu, 6-4. 6-2. The mixed double match between Cheal and Miss Elmore and Letter and Miss Morse arouted considerable interest be cause of the close score. Lclter and Miss Morse were several times within one point of winning, but could not secure the deciding point. Summary.

Tyrrell, a prominent dawyer. of Lincoln, Neb., who has been spending several days in the city, left last night for his home. Mr. Tyrrell is an inter ested student of the direct primary sys tem. About a year ago, while that ques tion was being much discussed in this state. Mr. Tyrell wrote a letter on the subject, which was published In The Ore gonian at that time, and which created considerable discussion. Speaking of the primary system now in effect in Ne braska, Mr. Tyrrell said yesterday: "There Is a State law governing the manner of holding primary elections where nominations are to be made for state and county officers. This system is defective in many ways, its worst fault being that It continues the convention system, with Its attendant evils. "This law requires that before any man may vote in the general elections he must first be registered by a board of registration. When he registers he is requested to state his political affiliation. He may comply with this request or not, as he sees fit The law then requires that only persons who voted, or were regis tered, at the time of the last general elec tion shall vote In the primary held prior to the next general election; then that a man's right to participate In the pri mary shall be governed by his political affiliations as given by him to the board of registration. Those who have refused to state their political affiliation are barred from the primaries of all parties. "At a stated time before the primary election the voters of each precinct as semble in caucus and nominate a list of delegates to be voted on at the primaries. In no case must this list be composed of more names than the number of delegates to which the precinct is entitled In the county convention. The voter who de sires to cast his ballot for some one else must write the name of that person on the ticket, which is printed under the direction of the county committee. This Is a vital defect In the law. It renders It possible for the caucus to be packed by the adherents of some particular clique or coterie, and practically guaran tees the continued control of the party from year to year by the particular fac tion which can pack the caucus, anf nominate Its candidate for delegates. Where the Independent voter has to write In the name of his candidates for dele gate the machine Is generally sure to win, the names of its candidates being printed on the ballot. "The Republicans of Lincoln, however, have adopted a system of their own to govern nominations for ward and city officers. Each candidate Is required t circulate a petition, the same to be on a blank form furnished by the secretary of the city committee. In order to enter the contest for a city office he must procure one hundred signatures of registered voters, and for a ward office fifty signa tures. He Is then assessed In such a sum that the aggregate assessment of all the candidates will cover the cost of conducting the primary. The names of all the candidates are then printed on a ticket, and the registered voter those entitled to participate in a Republican primary vote on them direct, thus ob viating the convention entirely. "Where there are but two candidates the one receiving the highest number of votes Is declared nominated. Where there are more than two candidates, and none of them receives a majority, a second primary is held, with all the names elim inated except those of the two candidates receiving the highest vote at the preced ing primary. Under this wise plan the Republican majority In Lincoln has steadily increased at every election for several years past. It Is so eminently fair that It commends Itself to the voters of all parties. The Democrats of Lin coln have never adopted this plan; they still adhere to the convention system." Mr. Tyrrell was chairman of the Re publican city committee of Lincoln for two years, and has excellent opportunity to 'judge of the results of the direct pri mary system. MORE POSTAL MONEY ORDERS Abolition of "Certification" Process Increases Foreign Business. WASHINGTON, July 20. The Postofflce Department looks for a considerable in crease in the money order business be tween the United States and Cuba, Cana da and the Philippines, by reason of the adoption of Its recent order doing away with the old "certification" process, and permitting the direct exchange of money orders. Heretofore a person In the Unit ed States sending a money order to one In Cuba, Canada or the Philippines has been compelled to send that order first tb an "exchange office," where the or der was certified and then forwarded to its destination for payment This certifi cation often caused delays of from one to two weeks, which will be entirely done away with under the new system. The same certification process was adhered to in Canada, Cuba and the Philippines with money orders coming to the United States. Now, orders Issued at an office In the United States and drawn on any money order office in Canada, Cuba or the Phil ippines, will be honored and paid without certification, and the same is true as to orders coming to this country. Not only Is this a saving in time, but in cost to the sender. Under the foreign exchange a charge pt 1 per cent of the amount for warded was made for transmission. Now but three-tenths of 1 per cent will be charged, as bn local money orders. There was said to have been a great exchange of money between points In Alaska and Atlin, British Columbia. Under the old system all these orders had to be sent first to Victoria for certification, and then forwarded to Atlin. Now they go direct to Atlin; and are paid upon presentation. NEEDS PRINTED MATTER. Board of Trade Unable to Supply tlie Demand. The weekly meetings of the Portland Board of Trade have become eo well at tended thai a larger room has been found necessary, and No. 511 Commercial block will be the meeting place until arrange ments can be made for a permanent hall. At the meeting yesterday several sub- boards were represented and the Interest taken by the suburban delegates was very gratifying to the city members. At present there are -lively subordinate bodies at Sellwood, Brooklyn, Wood stock, Mount Tabor, Mount Tabor Villa, Alblna, Peninsular, Tenth Ward and the Clinton Kelly school district A sub-board Is also to be organized at Sunnyslde in a few days. Advertising matter is very much In de mand this week, as returning Epworth League tourists all desire to become bet ter acquainted with what they are pleased to call "Paradise," In referring to Portland and Oregon.. A large num ber of copies of a pamphlet, "Oregon and the Orient." have already been dis tributed among the strangers. Several hundred "Oregon Pocket Books" have also been given away, as well as a large number of the Board of Trade souvenirs, specially gotten up for the visitors. The board could still use many thousand copies of these publications if they were to be had, but yesterday it was announced that the supply, was nearly exhausted. There are also iriany calls for literature at the rooms of the State Board of Hor ticulture, and the secretary has applied to the Board of Trade to help him out In the matter. Earth Paint From, the Sandy. Some specimens of earth paint from the Sandy were exhibited at the meet ing by George P. Lent, who had the ex hibits neatly bottled up to show In dif ferent layers the varieties of color. Mr. Lent assured the meeting that the paint exists in abundance and of uniform colors, some 25 miles east of Portland on the road to Mount Hood. The matter of developing the paint mines Is left In the hands of the committee on paints. Inviting- the President. City Attorney Long appeared before the board in regard to inviting President McKlnley to Oregon to break ground for the Lewis and Clark Exposition. He thought the invitation should be de ferred until after the commissioners from Washington, Idaho, Montana and Utah meet here. In October. He consid ered that a joint invitation from these bodies would have more weight than one coming simply from a commercial body of Portland. His remarks were well received by the board, and President Connell thanked him for the timely words. New Industries. L. McKenno announced that a new chair factory and a second woolen mill were about to be established in Portland, but the details were not yet to be made public. A planing mill and sash and door factory were also announced as possi bilities of the Immediate future. Advertising Maps. A new map of the Northwest, to be printed on the backs of letter heads, was submitted to the board for approval. Some of the directors thought too much prominence had been given the State of Washington and Seatttle, but the mapmaker retorted that Seattle has al ways been and still is one of Portland's beet customers, and therefore should not be ignored. "We ship more goods to Seattle than tp any town in the North west," he said, "and we ought to show some courtesy to our best customer." Director Cruthers, who has property In Seattle, said: "Seattle can do her own advertising without Portland's aid. In fact her citizens are adepts at that kind of business. Our business is to adver tise Portland and Oregon." LARGEST IN ITS HISTORY. Baptist Young People's Convention Began at Chicago. CHICAGO, July 25. What Is said to be the largest convention ever held by the Baptist Young People's Union began at the Coliseum here today. It la estimated that 10,000 delegates and visitors are present, and it is predicted that by to morrow nearly half as many more will be present. Addresses of welcome and congratulation were made by Francis W. Parker, in behalf of the citizens of Chi cago; Louis A. Crittenden, In behalf of the Young People, and Rev. John J. Jackson, in behalf of the church. Rev. H. F. Stillwell, of St. Paul, responded for the visitors. Rev. John D. Bennett, of Philadelphia, spoke on "Christ's Concep tion of His Own Kingship," and the Rev. Robert Whitaker, of Palo Alto, Cal., on "Christ's Conception of Citizenship In His Kingdom." In the afternoon the convention split up into departmental conferences. The report speeches of the board of managers showed that while the union had decreased. Its debt by 56000 during the past year, 514,000 still remained on the wrong side, of the ledger. A proposi tion to raise 510.000 during the present convention met with applause. Brotherhood of St. Andrew. DETROIT, July 25. The opening service of the joint convention ofthe Brotherhood of St Andrew of the Episcopal Church of the United States and Canada was held here today. Bishop Thomas F. Davis, D. D., LL. D., of Michigan, made an address of welcome. Bishop Robert Cordman, D. D., LL. D., of Maine, then preached a sermon, which was In the nature of a charge to the Brotherhood. About 1500 are present Not 'Ashamed of Him. Youth's Companion. An Englishman named Crowe was a fine classical scholar and a distinguished orator. He made his own position In life, even at a time 'when classes were far more seriously regarded in Engjand than they are at present. His father was a carpenter working in the town of Winchester, and on the most loving terms with his son. One day the son, then an eminent man, was standing near the cathedral door, talking to the dean and warden, when his father passed by. The old man was in his working dress, with his rule sticking from his pocket, and was evidently willing to spare the son a salutation. But the younger Crowe called out In good Hampshire dialect: "Here, feyther! -If thee balnt ashamed of I, I balnt ashamed of thee!" CONVENIENT TIME CARD. The O. "R. & N. service between Portland and the seaside Is proving very popular with the public. The steamer T. J.

They are displayed In our Third-Street window at LOW DOWN MAN SCORED INDIAN AGENT TELLS OP WHISKY PEDDLERS. Much of the Crime on the Umatilla Reservation Dae to One De generate White Man. The degraded class of persons who are In the business of supplying whisky to Indians have not been molested for some time, but they have grown too bold In the business and the Unfted States authori ties have taken the matter in hand and will from this on make things tropical for them. On "Wednesday Fred Lloyd, for introducing liquor In the Umatilla Indian Reservation, was sentenced to six months' imprisonment In Umatilla County jail. Yesterday an information was filed In the United States Court charging Joseph Oaks with selling whisky to Indians. Oaks Is a dope fiend, residing , at The Dalles, and supplies liquor to Indians who visit his lodgings. The following letter fronf Charles Wll klns, Indian agent at the Umatilla Reser vation, to United States District Attor ney J. H. Hall, shows that the time has arrived when the doings of these "whisky to Indians" men can no longer be over looked: "Department of the Interior, United States Indian Service, Umatilla Agency, Pendleton. Oregon, July 18. 1901. Hon. J. H. Hall, United States District Attorney, Portland, Oregon Dear Sir: My atten tion has been called to the fact that Fred Loyd (or Lloyd), a notorious character In connection with supplying Indians with liquor, Is now before the United States District Court charged with intro ducing intoxicants upon the reserve. This man Is reputed to be chief among those who have for years debauched the "Walla Wallas, Cayuses and Umatlllas with vile whisky and alcohol from the back doors of saloons In Pendleton and Adams. In this county. "While in the Agency prison, awaiting the arrival of a warrant, he acknowledged to my clerk that he was 'working for a saloon.' "When arrested he was blanketed and dis guised as an Indian. Dozens of drunk Indians were reeling over the celebration grounds and about the agency, until Loyd was arrested, but although the cele bration last a week or more after his arrest all this drunkenness ceased at once with his incarceration. He had brought the liquor which he had and sold seven miles from Pendleton, five of which were traveled upon this reserve. "Loyd will doubtless claim that he has children to support, and by that means endeavor to secure a mitigation of his punishment. It is true that he has chil dren, but they do not live with him and have not done so for years. They are kept and cared for entirely by mission ary Sisters of Charity. His wife died some years ago. Loyd's reputation and conduct, known to citizens of this county for near a decade of years past, is uch as to brand him a worthless vagabond and sneaking criminal whose Incarcera tion In the penitentiary would harm no one, would keep him out of the way of crime during the term of his sentence, and would have a most salutary effect amongst the element that works with him or follows his example. "The sale of Intoxicants to these In dians Is growing, and Is conducted In all but open market. For a long time little has been done with a view to breaking it up, because it has been deemed best to wait till proprietors of saloons can be convicted. I am now convinced that It is useless to expect that consummation, however devoutly to be wished for, as long as bums and villains like Loyd can be had to peddle the rectified stuff from their back doors and from the alleys about their saloons on a small commis sion; for while this can be done 'the pro prietors will not Incur for themselves, the risk incident to such a traffic. Bums, or criminals like Loyd, disguised as bums, will be found willing to engage In Jthls business until It Is made too dangerous for them to risk It any longer. In the meantime, drunken Indians prowl about the towns, maudlin and reeking with whisky, or ride over the reserve even through the agency in dangerous deliri um, and assaults and homicides, result ing from Intoxication, are committed at our very door. Black Horn, a Cayuse allottee of this reserve, Is now confined to his couch from wounds received in a drunken brawl In view of the agency and in my presence. Another Indian dragged himself oft to the Columbia River with a gunshot wound in his shoulder, which he got in a drunken fight near the agency. An old man, an allottee of this reserve, while In a state of Intoxication, broke a child's leg with a stone. These are recent incidents not to mention cases of longer standing, and of which you cannot but know already. I have Inquired how these things are upon other reserves and .from what I can learn they are not nearly so bad else wherefar less drunkenness and I begin to feel that I will be neglecting my duty here unless I do what I can to correct the situation which is growing so bad. "Indeed, the need for something correc tive is crying and cannot be too much emphasized at this time. If Loyd goes to the penitentiary for a gdod while, it will help a great deal; and if this could $12.75 Just One-Half AH the new styles of Straw Hats; a fine assort ment of rough-braid straw, the correct hat for nobby dressers, at ne-half former price. be followed by a few more convictions, Indians as well as whttes, I am fully persuaded, not upon the Impulse of the moment, but after three years' careful study of the subject upon the ground, that much of this drunkenness and blood shed would cease In fact, nearly all of It. I trust you will pardon this long let ter and my warmth of expression In this matter, for I assure you I feel tile need of the hour in regard to this man most keenly, and I beg leave to protest most earnestly against letting him oft short of a severe sentenceto the peni tentiary. Very respectfully, "CHARLES "WILKINS, "U. S. Indian Agent." FATHER MULDOON PROMOTED Connecrnted Bishop of Tamnssensis dj- Cardinal Mnrtlnelll. CHICAGO. July 25. An audience of thou sands, awed by the solemnity and magic of Roman Catholic ceremonial, today wit nessed the consecration of Rev. Father Peter J. Muldoon as Titular Bishop of Tamassensls, and auxiliary to Most Rev. P. A. Feehan, Archbishop of Chicago.

C, acted as consecrator, while two archbish ops Feehan, of Chicago, and Ryan, of Philadelphia a dozen bishops, 400 priests and scores of acolytes assisted in the cere monies and celebration of mass. Father Muldoon was escorted by the Right Rev. James Ryan, Bishop of Alton, 111., and the Right Rev. Henry Cosgrove, Bishop of Davenport. la., to the foot of the main altar, where uncovering his head, he bent In profound obeisance to the con secrator, who was seated, and kissed the latter's ring. Following the kissing of the ring Father Muldoon prostrated him self on the carpet leading to the altar. He then arose and was officially Intro duced for promotion. After examining the candidate on church doctrines, Monslgneur Martlnelll administered the oath of fealty and duty. The cardinal then laid aside his miter, and after saying the confession, proceeded with the high pontifical mass with which the ceremony of consecration had been In terspersed.

Barons Will Assert Ancient Right. NEW YORK, July 23. A dispatch to the Tribune from London says: Hastings was the scene yesterday of a most picturesque old-'tlme ceremonial. The Brotherhood of Guestllng Court, which Is the curious title given to the Council of the Cinque Ports, met there for the first time since 1660, to take steps to assert the ancient right of the barons or free men of the port to take part In the coronation. The privilege was recognized in the ancient days when the Cinque ports Hastings, Romney, Hythe, Dover and Sandwich constituted an Important factor in the national defense, but the claim which Is now made was allowed to lapse at the coronation of Victoria and William IV. The usual number of barons at a coronation 13 32, and they are em powered to carry the canopy over the head of the King and Queen and possess the right of putting on their caps as soon as the King is crowned. England Helped Ont of a Hole. NEW YORK, July 25. A dispatch to the Tribune from London says: The government has been helped out of a great difficulty by the return to the House of Commons of the chairmen of committees, and the prospects of the winding up of the parliamentary session have distinctly Im proved. Had Mr. Lowther's illness, how ever, proved to be of a prolonged char acter, an extraordinary situation would have resulted. No one can put closure but Speaker Gully or Chairman Lowther, and In the unavoidable absence of both men, a contingency by no means impos sible, the business of the House of Com mons might come to a dead stop. Noth ing would please the Irish Nationalists better, but the Liberals as well as the Conservatives are agreed that this is a risk to which the affairs of the patjon ought not to be exposed. MUncr and Rhodes Sworn In. NEW YORK, July 25. The London cor respondent of the Tribune says: Lord Mllner and Cecil Rhodes met yester day at Marborough House, where they were sworn in as members of the Privy Council with Lord Cromer, whose Earldom has been worthily earned. Mr. Chamber lain was not present. Mr. Rhodes Is fully occupied with business and spends much time at Alfred Belt's house, where South African affairs are discussed In detail. The New Theology Professor Levi L. Bayne, of Bangor Congre gational Theological Seminary in the Boston Evening Transcript. Professor Foster would draw a sharp line between Biblical and all other his tory, as if there could be two kinds of history of the world and two diverse canons of critical judgment. He defends this position by asserting that Biblical history has a unique, miraculous and su pernatural character. But Professor Fos ter must be little acquainted with Ethnic religions and sacred books, if he Is not I A -At" I COrYBlOMT nt jit Stun Bioat Ca ) aware that they are equally full of mira cle and of supernatural beings and events. The old traditional distinction between "sacred and profane" history has been wiped out completely by scientific and his torical criticism, and In assuming such a distinction to bo valid. Professor Foster shows himself to be blind to historical conclusions that are universally accepted by scholars worthy of the name. Professor Foster makes it a special mark of "fallacy" In my book that I in clude all miracles under the same cate gory and treat them all by the same criti cal law. He wants to know If there is no difference between a miracle wrought by "a hair from the tall of Peter the Her mit's ass" and one "by handkerchiefs from the person of the Apostle Paul"? Well, Just what Is the difference? Is Professor Foster not aware that the lives of the saints are full of miracles wrought by the touching of a saint's garment and through the agency of animals? To be lieve that a hair from an ass or a hand kerchief from a man can work a miracle which involves a violation or suspension of a law of nature Is to turn an ass or a "handkerchief" Into a fetich the worst kind of superstition. Professor Foster plainly has no doubt of the entire his toricity of everything that claims to be history in the New Testament, if not in the whole Bible. No doubt he holds that Balaam's ass spoke In the Hebrew language. Why then does he draw the line on Peter the Her mit's ass? Of course. Professor Foster's answer is that the one account Is found in the Bible and the' other Is not. Such a view would forbid the entrance of all his torical criticism into the Bible, and that Is, I take it. Professor Foster's real posi tion. And It Is on such a ground that he proceeds to accuse Professor Gilbert and myself of throwing away every ves tige of Christianity. The truth Is that Professor Foster stands directly antago nistic to modern scholarship, and Is hark ing back to the utterly unhlstorlcal tra ditions of the Dark Ages. He does not seem to be aware of It, but he Is attempt ing to lead a forlorn hope which Is grow ing more and more forlorn every day.
