THE MORNISQ OREGQ2SIAN, SATURDAY. JANUARY 31, 1903.
BALL WILL BE GIVEN
Italian Colony to Hold Dance
Tomorrow Night.
BUT CHURCH WON'T GET FUNDS
Committee MaUe Answer to Arch
ulahop Christie's Prohibitive
Edict Catholic Society
Perturbed.
In epUc of Archbishop Christie's most
emphatic disapproval, the ball arranged
to be given by the. Italian colony of the
city for the benefit of St. Michael's Cath
olic Church will be held in Arlon Hall to
morrow night, but the proceeds -will not
be given to the church. In this way the
promoters hope to dissuade the arch
bishop from insisting on his recently
Issued edict forbidding all Catholics to at
tend or to encourage the affair in any
way and pronouncing it to be "a shame
ful desecration of the Sunday." Only the
tfuture will tell In what measure they
have succeeded, and the archbishop is
toeing watched closely by every Catholic
in Portland to see what his next move
Will be.
Those who arranged for the fair arc
members of St. Michael's congregation,
and it was their design to raise money
to aid in paying off the debt acquired in
building their new church at the corner
of Fourth and Mill streets. The matter
was widely advertised and soon reached
the notice of Archbishop Christie, who
was prompt In expressing his .disapproval.
In a letter to The Oregonian he said:
I see by tickets and placards distributed
through the city that a ball is announced to
lake place next Sunday evening, which Is
claimed to be clven for the benefit of St.
Michael's Catholic Church. Now, sir, I wish
to inform the public, through the medium of
your paper, that this is absolutely untrue. This
afTalr has neither the approval nor the sanc
tion of the church, nor nhall any funds real
ized thereby be accepted by any church or
ganization for any purpose whatsoever.
Moreover, I hereby forbid all Catholics to
attend or encourage In any way this shame
ful desecration of the Sunday.
It was expected that this would quash
the whole proceeding, but it didn't. Ex
communication stares in the face those
who disobey an archbishop's command In
church affairs, but the ball promoters" de
clined to give up their enterprise. Yester
day they issued this statement:
Grand Ball The Italian colony, having made
oil the preparations elnce long ago, cannot
so back on their plans; thus It Is by
strength of necessity and not by Insubordina
tion to the ecclesiastical authority. The ball
will take place at Arlon Hall, Sunday,
February 1.
The members of the committee waited
upon the Rev. Alexander Cestllll, pastor
of St Michael's, during the day, and had
quite a .long talk with him. Father
Ccetilll had, before their arrival, seen the
archbishop In regard to the affair, and
he was able to say positively to the com
mittee that none of the money raised by
the performance would be received by the
church. The committee, which was com
posed of Joseph Stosio, chairman; Leonard
de Cristoforo, Peter Mognor, A. Guioro
and L. Copotlto, then issued the above
statement.
' Father Cestllll, when asked what the
outcome of the affair would be, said:
T gave my consent and approval to the
holding of this entertainment, when it was
first suggested, but I did not have any
idji. that it was to bo held on a Sunday.
That is something which the church, of
course, could not permit. But those who
had the matter in charge evidently did not
know this, and so went ahead with their
arrangements. They had no thought save
to aid the church, and it would be unfair
to attribute any ulterior motives to them.
"Then came the archbishop's order, and
I went to see him at once to explain all
the circumstances. I did so to his full
satisfaction, I think, and then I met the
committee. I told the members they had
done wrong in advertising to hold a ball
on a Sunday and they expressed sorrow.
I told them St. Michael's could accept
none of the money raised in this way.
They then explained to me that the hail,
the music the refreshments and the ad
vertising had all been paid for, and that
it was simply impossible to back out. I
do not recall just how much they said
they had spent, .but it was a large
amount."
Father Cestllll said that the proceeds of
the ball, according to what the committee
men told him, would go to the poor of the
Italian colony.
"Do you think there will be any pro
ceeds?" he was asked. "Do you think
Catholics will dare go?"
"Oh, I don't believe there will be anv
trouble."
"Won't it be open disobedience to the
command of the archbishop?"
"Well, you see, the funds are not for
the church. It was that that the arch
bishop objected to."
"And he did not object to the attending
of balls on Sunday?"
Father Cestilli said he did not care to
discuss this phase of the matter His at-
ten,J?aS cal,ed to that last specifically
prohibitive paragraph of the archbishop's
letter, but he would onlv repeat-
re7lly?ni 't"e be anV trouble'
nfT?fe artb!shop Is giving no indications
?J? Q P P10ilof the chane ln th situa
tion, and in the meantime the question of
to go or not to go?" Is the chief subject
of debate In local Catholic circles.
WHY "FLATIRON" WAS SUED
Famouse Xerr Yorlc Bnildinjr Creates
Fierce Draught.
Because the famous New York building
known as the Flatiron creates a draught
a suit for damages has been brought
against the owners. The accompanying
diagram and the following from the New
York Herald further explains this -novel
lawsuit recently noted In the press dis
patches: Owing to the peculiar construction of
their building, the owners of the Flatiron
building, at Twenty-third street and
Broadway, have been made defendants in
a suit brought by Gibson X. Vincent, a
clothing merchant at the southeast corner
of Twenty-second street and Broadway
whose show windows have frequently been
broken by fierce gusts of wind directed
into erratic courses by the peculiar shape
of the building.
Those who have been blown askew by
the varying winds that assail the corner
mentioned may be relieved, even pleased,
to know that, wearied of paying bills for
broken plate glass and damaged stock, Mr.
Vincent yesterday swore to a bill of com
plaint alleging that on two different occa
sions the wind on its normal way had been
deflected from its. original course by the
presence of the Flatiron, and by reason of
this the plate glass windows ln the front
of his store have been smashed, cutting
his stock and allowing it to be damaged
by rain. He prays for a judgment of 55000
against the Fifth-Avenue Building Com
pany, owners of the structure.
Henry A. Anderson, counsel for Mr. Vin
cent, says that policemen who have been
stationed on this breeze-swept corner will
besummoned, and he believes they can tell
some astounding tales of the wind's ca
pers. Albeit there Is a humorous side to the
question. Mr. Vincent said yesterday that
it was no joke with him.
"There was some doubt when I first pro
posed the case to my counsel, Henry A.
Anderson, that I would maintain my
stand. It surely is without precedent, but
when one thinks that water cannot be
turned from Its natural course and dam
age a neighbor without recompense, I do
not see why the same rule cannot apply to
the air. Surely no such damage was ever
done before the big 20-story building was
erected. It seems now as though when a
northeast gale blows the wind is concen
trated by the widening lower end of the
building and then deflected directly across
the street, where the fronts of my stores
and my near neighbors get it with great
energy.
"At the time that the greatest damage
was caused to me, the windows of the Ta
bard Inn Library, next door, were blown
in, and a florist two doors away saved his
window only by bracing it from behind
with heavy wooden shores. In replacing
our windows we have cut off of their
height by a reinforcement of the sashes,
but we have no assurance that they will
stand until another gale has tried their
mettle."
It was after the second visitation of the
wind that Mr. Vincent' looked about for
measures of relief, and for a week, while
the windows were boarded up awaiting a
suitable time for glazing, he pondered on
how to place the blame, and cast his eyes
skyward to the huge steel and stone pile
across the way.
BROOM STILL SWEEPING.
Another Unid IJrlnK ln Elffht
"VaKrnntn."
The war against vice in the Whitcchapel
district is becoming fiercer, and the vicious
classes of Portland are coming to the
realization that Chief pf Police Hunt is
in earnest when he says that the con
ditions ln the North End must be im
proved. About $200 In lines was collected
yesterday ln the Municipal Court from
women and their male consorts, who had
been arrested in past raids, and last night
eight more lawbreakers were arrested on
the charge of vagrancy. Three of the
prisoners were taken In the notorious,

COMMISSIONERS FOR THE LEWIS AND CLARK
EXPOSITION
SALE-M, Or., Jan. 30. (Special.) Governor George E. Chamberlain
this evening signed the Lewis & Clark Fair bill, and named the following
citizens of Oregon as commissioners to have charge of the expenditure
of the $500,000 appropriation as provided in the act:
Professor F. G. Y'oung, University of Oregon, Eugene; F. A. Spencer
manager of Allen & Lewis, Portland; J. H. Albert, banker, Salem;
Stephen A. Lowell, attorney, Pendleton; W. E. Thomas, attorney, Port
land; Richard Scott, farmer, Mllwaukie; Dav Raffety, physician, East

whites have been accustomed to mingle
in shady conduct.
There now seems to be no hindrance to
Uie wave of reformation started In that
direction. A conflict between Municipal
Judge Hogue and Chief Hunt Thursday
caused some conjecture in the matter. The
Judge Intimated that he would refuse to
fine the offenders unless something more
than vagrancy could be proved against
them. Yesterday, however, he Imposed
fines upon a large number of these people
against whom nothing was proved other
than that they were prostitutes and lived
in a part of the city where vice and crime
exist In their most flagrant forms. The
case of Trilby Thorne, which caused a hot
debate on Thursday, was disposed of by
flnlnc her 515.
After the first two raids the people of
Whitechapel only laughed and said that
it was something to be expected. Last
night, however, they shook their heads
mysttriously and declared that it looked
like a case of "move out." Heretofore
the people arrested on these charges have
been allowed to go on a moderate ball.
Last night Captain Moore refused to take
less than 550 In any case.
"Got one of my girls here?" asked
Frank Mays, as he came into the office.
"Several girls here," replied the captain.
. "What's the bail?" asked Mr. Mays,
reaching Into his pocket
"Fifty dollars," replied the captain, and
a look of surprise came over the question
er's face.
"Fifty dollan?!". exclaimed he. "You
know T TVf.lllfln't hp enrrvintr thnt- miif-li
with me." I
"Can't help that," replied the captain.
Tony Gallagher was the next to appear.
"I want to get the girl you arrested"
"Fifty dollars." was the answer. Again
threats, demands, arguments and plead
ings were resorted to, but Christina John
son was still locked up. when ho started
for home.
Those who were arrested last night
were: Lum Ching, Chinese; Negoman, N.
Numtanl and Franknlshe, Japanese;
ChristinI Johnson, Swede; Marie Smith,

GAS TANK MIGHT EXPLODE
THAT IS WnY EAST SIDE CITIZENS
FILE PROTEST.
Thin Dnnprer, They AMsert, Would
Cause Property in Itx Vicinity
to Deprecinte In Value.
To the committee on health and police
of the Council yesterday, a delegation of
East Side residents declared that they
were unalterably opposed to the erection
of a gas retort on the northeast corner
of East Third and East Ankeny streets,
a piece of property which the Portland
Gas Compnny recently purchised through
an agent. Of the remonstrants against
the- granting of the privilege, only 11
were present, and of that number Mrs.
Jane Buckman. P. B. Sinnott. J. M. Mc
Quade, ex-Fire Chief Joseph Buchtel and
a few others spoke against it. The opin
ion of all was that the erection of the
retort would bo inimical to their property
Interests.
"I own lots in the vicinity in which
the retort is to be located," wild Mr. Mc
Quade. "but 1 can never build If this
privilege should be granted. No one
would rent my property."
"I own the southeast corner of East
Second and Ankeny streets," snld P. S.
Sinnott. "I have already' arranged plnns
for buildings there, but if the tank and
retort should be constructed I will not
build for the reason that I do not believe
that the buildings could be rented."
"There is a good deal of valuable prop
erty Involved in this" matter," said ex
Fire Chief Joseph Buchtel. "In the neigh
borhood of the proposed retort there arc
corners that are held at S7000 and others
at 5SO00. and sales could not be made
at the latter sum. We arc not included
in the fire limits, and under the ordi
nances we may erect wooden buildings.
I am told that flats will be erected on
the surrounding property, and they will
be dangerously near the retort As a
practical fireman, I give you this opinion.
If a retort were located at the place
named and a fire should break out In the
residence district adjoining, the flimes
might be carried to the tank and the tank
might explode. Such things have hap
pened In the past, and they are not Im
probable In the future. Added to the dan
ger are the dally blasts of the foundry
opposite, a spark from which might com
municate a flame. If the tank and the
retort are built, the property which it
directly affects would depreciate thou
sands of dollars in value."
"Well," said Mrs. Jane Buckman,
"when we sold that property to the Gas
Company, we did not expect to embroil
ourselves in trouble. We owned some
land near the east approach of the Burn-sidc-street
bridge and we wished to dis
pose of it for the best interests of the
city. We had many offers for leases,
rentals and purchases, but we did not
like them. All tended to the establish
ment of saloons and livery stables and
blacksmith shops, and we were not favor
able to such places as additions to our
property interests. It seems now," she
added, "that we have dropped Into a
deeper fire, and we wish the Council to
take action."
There were no further speakers, and
the committee laid the matter over for
further consideration.
NO STREET FOR HUGHES.
"AHNeiiH Me With Benefits," He Says,
"ana I'll Go to the Supreme Court."
At the meeting of the Council street
committee yesterday, the remonstrance of
Ellis G. Hughes against the opening of
Clinton street was taken up and Mr.
Hughes was given a hearing. Mr. Hughes
said the opening of the street would be
of no benefit, but would, on the other
hand, be a detriment to his property. The
street was not needed, and, besides other
damages, it would run through two lots,
the value of which was 5750. The report
of the viewers showed that the assessment
of benefits to Mr. Hughes was $132, and of
damages 5211. leaving an excess of 579.
"I shall not receive any benefits," de
clared Mr. Hughes, "even If they were
placed at 520. This street Is of no benefit
to my property and it is wanted only by
the City & Suburban Railway Company.
The property will sell at a better price
without streets than it will with streets."
"But 573 is not a bad price for lots away
out In Waverly," laughed Chairman
Rumelln.
"If the benefits arc assessed at even 520
I shall carry' the matter to the Supreme
Court," declared Mr. Hughes. "Two lots
will be taken up by the street and they
arc worth 5750. Very few. If any, people
want the street opened."
"I have not heard of anybody wanting
It opened," said Mr. Bentley.
"Inquire and see and you will find no
property-owner who wants It opened,"
said Mr. Hughes as he took up his hat

In order to Investigate the committee

The application of Martin Winch for

Winch asked for permission to delay con

Qunll Xccded for Field Trlnl to Be
Held by Local Sportsmen.
The work of securing a stock of quail
and Bob Whites for field trials ln this
state is going forward with a will, and
It Is thought that those Interested ln the
matter will be able to send for the birds
at an early date. At the meeting of
sportsmen held a week ago, W. M. (Pike)
Davis was appointed to secure informa
tion as to the cost of a stock of several
hundred dozen birds, and the best means
of getting them Into the state. He is
now In communication with several
Eastern and California authorities, and
expects to have the necessary Informa
tion very soon. Subscription lists to se
cure money to defray the co.st of securing
the quail and Bob Whites have been cir
culated among those interested in tho
matter, and it Is reported that they are
being very liberally signed.
The preliminary work for the coming
bench show of the Portland Kennel Club
Is also progressing very satisfactorily,
and the club members think they will
have a most successful show this year.
There are more blooded dogs In Portland
now. than ever before, and they are being
brought and raised here all the time.
The entry list will be much larger than
last .year, and the dogs will be of a bet

Track Washed Awny In Three Places
Troupe Reaches Portland in
Time to Benin at 10::iO.
A series of odd adventures and delays
for the grand opera "Carmen," certalnly
not ln the calculations of Bizet when he
wrote that charming work, was exper
ienced, yesterday, by the members of. the
Gordon-Shay Opera Company, on the As
toria & Columbia River Railroad, between
this city and Astoria. They were on the
train nearly all day, with little or no
food, and It was only by tho merest
chanco they managed at last to reach tho
Marquam. Grand Theater In this city. In
time to give a performance at all. The
railroad washouts were the cause of It
The company delighted Astoria with a
grand opera performance, Thursday night,
and shortly before 7 o'clock yesterday
morning the mcrry-makfcrs Innocently had
breakfast, and boarded the train for this
city, little dreaming of the adventures be
fore them. Three of the chorus girls had
to hurry to catch the train arid they ate
light breakfasts, in consequence.
"Never mind," said the prettiest one,
"We couldn't swallow much In Astoria,
but we will have time to eat a decent
meal ln Portland. Think I'll have a nice
tenderloin, well- done, with fried pota
toes, liver, turnips, pickles, coffee and
pie. That's all I can think of now."
''Don't" said another girl, who also had
partaken of a light breakfast In the hur
ry to catch the train.
When they had gone a few miles on
their way, a small washout along the
line delayed them. Then another wash
out, and thirdly something happened to
the motive power. A message .was tele
graphed to Portland about noon that they
were lost somewhere on the road and not
to expect them before, afternoon. Then
the train, after sulking awhile, suddenly
started.
"Hooray," said the hungry girls.
Lastly, came the chief wash-out, along
the line half way to this city, and -another
message was flashed along the wires
that the company could not arrive here
until about S o'clock. Meanwhile the
Marquam Theater people were devoured
with anxiety. The latter was deepened
when another telegraph message was re
ceived: "Stuck on the road. Can't reach town
tonight."
"Boy," said "Billy" Pangle, of the the
nter staff, to his chief satellite, "hang a
banner on the outer wall that there will
be no performance of grand opera at this
place tonight."
This was done, and people who came
early went home, clutching their money,
which was returned to them.
"Look out for us. Have passed wash
out. Are now bowling towards Portland.
Will play tonight, sure,"- read another
message.
The signboard was hurriedly demolished,
and tickets sold again, but ln the mean
time all the ushers and Marquam Theater
orchestra had been told to go home. The
people were admitted, but they got rest
less. At this Juncture, George Baker, of
Baker's Theater, stepped Into tho breach,
lent his entire orchestra to the Marquam.
people, and got some of his many friends
to play ln the orchestra ln his own the
.ater. He did more. He made a speech to
the Marquam crowd, saying:
"Ladles and gentlemen, ahem. On be
half of my friend. Mr. .Heillg. who Is not
used to public speaking, I desire to state
that the Gordon-Shay Opera Company is
now on the way, and will positively give
a performance In this place before very
long. To amuse you, the ushers will now
hand you packages, of candy."
"Generous soul," murmured an elderly
man. .
"At 2 bits per package," concluded Mr.
Baker, genially.
