THE M0BN1NG OREGONIAK, SATUBDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1903.
TROUBLE IN pHURCfi
it Culminates in Dismissal
of the Organist.
HE SAYS CONTRACT IS BROKEN
Hector of St. David's Threatens Prof.
Esemnn With Arrest, and. the
Organist Threatens Lnw
sult The Climax.
The music at St. David's Episcopal
Church, on East Twelfth street has led
to discord between the vestry and the
organist and so strong is the feeling that
Professor Gustavus Eseman, the choir
master and organist, threatens to sue the
vestry for alleged violation of his con
tract, while the vestry threatens to have
"Mr. Eseman arrested for trespass if he
attempts to maintain his assertion that
he is still legally choirmaster by con
ducting rehearsals. Mr. Eseman still
holds the key of the church, but the vestry
says his salary will stop after next Sun
day. Mr. Eseman has some warm friends
In the congregation, who stand by him,
but the majority of the vestry "is against
lira, and maintains that dissatisfaction
with his music has caused the attendance
to fall off perceptibly.
According to Mr. Eseman. the source of
all his troubles is Rev. George B. Van
"Waters, the rector. He says, but the .rec
tor denies, .that there has been more or
less friction between them almost ever
since Mr. Eseman first became organist,
about October 1, 1902. Mr. Eseman says
that it was verbally agreed that he
should be paid 510 a week from January 1,
rwhen services were first held In the new
church, but that in January he anly re
ceived $20 and in February 525. It was
agreed that a contract should be signed
engaging him for one year from March
1 at that salary. Mr. Eseman says that
the signing of this document was delayed
'by the rector's Insistence on the insertion
of a clause providing that either party,
If dissatisfied, might terminate the con
tract by giving one month's notice. This
clause was left out of the contract as
eigned.
How the Trouble Began.
Then the inevitable woman crept in.
This is what Mr. Eseman says on that
subject:
"In February Dr. Van Waters wanted
to put several women in the choir. I
objected for the reason that I did not
think they would be able to do well with
the boys, but the vestry settled the ques
tion by passing a resolution that the choir
should be composed of men and boys
only. The animosity on the rector's part
began from that moment; I have no
animosity."
Then appeared a rival for the place of
Mr. Eseman in the person of T. M. Light
er, former organist of Trinity Church.
3Ir. Eseman says that the proposal that
kMr. Lighter should give an organ recital
on June 24 came from the rector and was
at first opposed by the vestry, which at
last reluctantly consented. The rector an
gered the organist still more by saying,
in announcing the recital at service:
"Now hear that man play the organ,"
the word "that" being emphasized and
applying to Mr. Lighter. This was taken
as a direct slap at the man who then sat
at the organ.
In defense of his own playing, Mr.
Eseman said to The Oregonlan:
"The following day I played for the dio
cesan convention and In the afternoon for
the Ladles' Auxiliary, and was tendered
a vote of thanks. I played at the clos
ing exercises of Bishop Scott Academy
and St. Helen's Hall and The Oregonlan
said my music was excellent. I know
that three-fourths oft the congregation
are pleased with my music.
"From that time on there was continual
strife, so that members of the choir re
elgned, complaining of the un-Chrlstian
treatment they received.
Notified to Go, He Stay.
Affairs came to a climax on Septem
ber 14, when a general meeting of the con
gregatlf n was held to e:ect two vestry
men to succeed S. C. Kennell and C. Al
Jen Merriam. Dr. Van "Waters said last
night that the music question was the'
issue an., tlyit Dr. F. C. Sellwood and
Fred West were unanimously elected in
opposition to .Mr. Eseman. This created
a majority against the organist, the other
members of the vestry besides the rector
being Dr. S. E. Josephi." Captain F. H.
West,-A. Tyler. John Webb, F. W. Berry.
J. L. Royle and James G. Burness. Prior
to the election the vestry had stood five
for and four against Mr. Eseman, but
this turned the tables. Last Monday the
-vestry met and in accordance with its In
structions the music committee notified
Mr. Eseman that the "musical parts of all
Tegular services are not conducted by
Gustavus Eseman in a manner acceptable
to the rector, wardens and vestrymen in
accordance with the contract," and that
&Is services would not be required after
(September 21 and that he would not be
3aid for services after September 27.
Mr. Eseman received this letter last
Tuesday morning, but held the rehearsal
on Wednesday evening just the same.
lAfter it was over, Mr. Berry met him
on the street corner, accompanied by Dr.
'"Van Waters and Mr. Burness and called
Upon him to give up the keys of the
-church. The rector told him to make no
further attempt to act as choirmaster and
organist and that the attorney of the
'vestry stated that, if he did so, he -would
lay himself liable to arrest.
Mr. Eseman also talks of appealing to
the law. He said to The Oregonlan:
I shall send a letter by my attorney's
advice notifying the rector, wardens and
vestry that they have no legal or moral
Tight to cancel the contract without just
or legal cause, and that I shall be ready
at all times to perform all my obliga
tions under It until the expiration of the
ftime provided" by it."
Rector's View of the Case.
Dr. Van Waters was informed of what
2Ar. Eseman had said ana replied:
"I did desire that women should sing
in the choir, but it was only to give
strength and acceptableness to the mu
sic, which at that time was intolerable
without them. As to the terms of the
contract, Mr. Eseman desired that a
clause be Inserted reading: 'According
to his best skill and ability. In the ses
slon of the vestry it was resolved that
the vestry adhere strictly to its verbal
agreement with Mr. Eseman and put In
the written contract that he would give
music satisfactory to the rector, wardens
and vestry. I stated in open meeting
that I desired the omission of the clause
providing for one month's notice, be
cause there was no such verbal under
standing between Mr. Eseman and-me and
the music committee. I have no personal
feeling in the matter, but have been for
many months desirous of serving in this
matter the minds of the majority of the
patrons of the parish. The objection to
Mr. Eseman was chiefly that his music
was unsatisfactory to the very large ma
jority of the worshippers. The music
committee consists of F. W. Berry,
James G. Burness, J. G. Royle and my
self as 'ex-officio chairman, and we are
a unit as to the unsatisfactoriness of Mr.
Eseman s music. We contend that, In
asmuch as the contract states that his
services may be terminated whenever it
appears to us that his music is unsatls
factory, we need to give no further reason
for terminating the contract than the
bare statement that his music is unsatis
factory."
Prunes Will Yield Well.
VANCOUVER, Wash., Sept. 23. (Spe-
clal.) The work of picking and packing
prunes is progressing rapidly throughout
the county. All the driers are worked to
their utmost rapacity and there is a de
mand for laborers to handle the fruit.
Reliable judges state that only a small
per cent will be lost on account of the
recent rains, and that the yield Is on the
average very good.
Clark Cckmty will produce about 250
carloads of the dried frUlL There are no
established prices yet. Most of the grow
ers are waiting the offers to be made by
the Fruitgrowers' Association, which has
insured as good results as anyone else.
ELECTED TO STAY.
Rev. S. C. Laphara.Permnnent Pastor
of Second Baptist Church.
At a meeting of the congregation of the
Second Baptist Church, East Ankeny and
East Seventh streets, last evening, a
unanimous call was extended Rev. Stan
ton C. Lapham to become permanent
pastor. He had been pastor under a
six months' call, and the time has ex
pired, but it was expected that he would
become the regular pastor. Mr. Lapham
says he will accept the call.
"I came to the Second Baptist Church
at a critical period," said Mr. Lapham,
"when some thought it better that a
stranger take up that work, but we have
succeeded well. The church is united
and prosperous financially and every
way-" At the same meeting it was voted
to repaint the church building and nearly
enough money was raised to pay for the
work Concrete sidewalks have just been
laid around the building at a cost of
about $250.
ELECTORS 3IAY DECIDE.
Mllvrankic Council Postpone "Water
Question Till After Election.
The Mllwaukle Council has decided to
postpone further consideration of the
water supply question until after the
next city election, which will take place
the first Monday in December. This de
cision was reached Thursday night after
a long discussion. J. L. Johnson was
present with his proposition to build a
plant, provided the Council would give
him a 30-year franchise, permitting him
to charge 51.25 per faucet. Where more
than one faucet was used Mr. Johnson
6aid that there would be a reduction, but
did not say how much.
Mayor Shlndler said . that the charge
of 51.25 would operate to hold Mllwaukie
back, as their neighbors In Sellwood pay
but 50 cents. He was there to protect
the interests of the people, and he ex
pressed himself as opposed to" granting
a 30-year franchise unless the rates pro
posed were reduced. Members of tne
Council coincided with the Mayor.
Definite action was postponed until af
ter election, so the people of Mllwaukie
can say whether they want to bond the
city and build water works or not. The
present Council is favorable to municipal
ownership of the water plant.
IMPROVE ALB IN A MAILS.
Two 3Iore Carriers to Be Assigned
for That District.
Two of the 13 mailcarriers secured for
Portland are to go to Albina station.
Station Clerk J. H. Steffen said yester
day that the carriers ore needed within
the territory now covered, without tak
ing in any new territory- There -has been
an extraordinary growth in Albina in
the past two years, and the present force
of carriers is overburdened. The single
additional carrier given that district sev
eral months ago afforded some relief, but
was scarcely a drop In the bucket.
The Albina mall district does not ex
tend north of Alberta street, but beyond
that line there are hundreds of families
who are denied free deliveries for the rea
son that the Postofflce Department will
not furnish enough carriers. It is estlmat
ed that between 500 and GOO families could
be added to the free mall delivery dis
trict of Albina by extending the bound
aries to take In Woodlawn on the north
and East Fourteenth street on the East.
BURGLAR GETS PLUNDER.
Steals Watch, Jeivelry and Check
From Mr. Sliepnrd's Room.
During her absence yesterday a thief
entered the apartments of Mrs. A. G.
Shepard, 24& Union avenue,' and stole c
valuable watch, jewelry and a check for
550. Mrs. Shepard's rooms are upstairs
In the three-story brick. The thief is
supposed to have been a young fellow
who was noticed by C. J. Ward to be
hanging around the front of the build
Ing The watch was valued at about 575
and the Jewelry taken was worth 5100.
Ennt Side Notes.
Dr. C. C. Poling, president of the Dallas
Evangelical College, was In the city yes
terday. He was formerly pastor of the
Evangelical Church, East Tenth and
Sherman streets.
The Westminster Presbyterian Church,
of Holladay's Addition, has extended Rev,
Henry Marcotte, of Astoria, a call to be
come pastor. No definite answer has yet
been received. It will be some time be
fore Mr. Marcotte can leave Astoria,
as the church there is finishing a new
building.
NO LIGHT ON MYSTERY.
Coroner's Inquest on John Lyons De
velops No New Facts.
Mystery still surrounds the death of
John Lyons, the bricklayer who was
killed by a street-car while lying on the
tracks at Twenty-third and Overton
streets shortly before 11 o'clock Wednes
day evening. The Inquest conducted by
Coroner Finley yesterday afternoon did
not throw any additional light upon the
tragedy. Just how Lyons came to be
lying on the tracks remains a matter of
theory. One belief is that he might have
fallen from an attack of heart trouble
while crossing the track. Another is that
he fell In a fainting spell. It is possible
that he could have been killed and his
body laid across the track, and this the
ory has some few supporters. That the
man was not under the influence of liquor
was testified to by Charles Welsersteln
who keeps a saloon near the scene of the
accident. The saloon-keeper said that
Lyons was in his place about 20 minutes
before he was struck by the car. He
borrowed three novels from Miss Welser
steln and left the saloon, saying that he
was going home.
Motorman F. W. German testified that
he did not see the body until he was too
close to stop his car. He could not tell
what position it was lying In. All he
saw was a dark object lying on the
track, and then he threw all his attention
to the brakes. He could not stop In time,
Conductor Gardner was also examined
but he was at the rear end of the car
at the time and knew nothing about the
mishap.
The Jury, composed of A. B. Stuart, M.
W. Rath, J. R. kE. Selby, Fred Goodwin
W. M. Westfall and C. Crawley then
retired and returned a verdict exonerat
ing the motorman from blame. They
found that the deceased came to his
aeatn irom oeing strucK by the car
while lying on the track, at which place
his presence could not be accounted for
from the evidence at hand.
Coroner Finley said last evening that
no further Investigation will be made at
the present time, and that the body will
be Interred.
Charged With Unnatnral Crime.
TILLAMOOK, Or., Sept. 25. (Special
EH O. Mills, of Beaver, has been ar
rested, charged with committing crlm
lnal assault upon his daughter. Frances,
who Is only 13 years of age. He will be
given a hearing In Justice Alley's Court
next Wednesday. It appears that the girl

LOUISIANA PURCHASE EXPOSITION
WILL NOT BE DELAYED.
CoL Gcorgrc 31. Parker, Director of
the 40,000,000 Enterprise, Calls
1005 Fair a Sister Project.
Colonel George M. Parker and family,
of St. Louis, are guests at the Portland
on their return from a tour of Alaska.
Colonel Parker is one of the directors
of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition and
has had much to do with the assured suc
cess of the great undertaking.
"The fair will be ready to open In its
entirety on April -30. 1901. and the first
visitors will have the same advantages
as those who come later," said he to an
Interviewer last evening.
"This has been our aim from the be
ginning and we are confident of breaking
all records of previous expositions.
So far as the buildings are concerned.
we could open our gates in CO days. The
last building to be completed, the Ag
ricultural', Kill be ready by the first of
December and when the opening occurs
the exposition will be complete as to the
smallest detail.
"It has been ten years since the great
Chicago Fair and In that, decade of mar-
elous development we have learned many
things. These have been turned to good
account, and we will excel all previous
affairs of the kind. Our ground space
for one thing is more than double that of
the fair at Chicago and tire total expen
diture will amount to more than 540.000,000.
We have employed the finest architects
and landscape gardeners In the world.
We will have official exhibits from coun
tries which have never before participat
ed in world's fairs and our special at
tractions will be superior to anything
ever before offered to the world.
'Our International congress will be ad
dressed by the savants of every civilized
country on subjects of science, literature,
art. politics and religion. The services
of the best musicians to be found any
where have been secured, and in fact we
have raked the world for its best intellect
and skill."
Concerning the Lewis and Clark Expo
sition, Colonel Parker became enthusi
astic "The Fair at St. Louis and the
Lewis and Clark Exposition are so close
ly allied that they cannot but succeed to
gether. They commemorate practically
the same event, and the people of the
West may rest assured that we are in
terested and will assist in every way to
make the 1905 Fair what it should be.
Many of our best exhibits will be brought
here Intact, while there will be special
exhibits here which we will not have at
St Louis. Our interests are mutual and
from the interest shown in your Expo
sition I am confident It will be a mag
nificent success."
That St Louis was literally swamped
by the crowd In attendance at the dedi
catory exercises last Spring, Colonel Par
ker admitted. He says, however, that
the lesson was well learned, and that
ample accommodations will be provided
for the visitors next year. Many new ho
tels are in course of construction, in
cluding the mammoth Napoleon Bona
parte. The most novel scheme for caring
for the visitors will be a tent city, mod
eled after that at Coronado Beach. A
plot of ground has been secured on which
streets will be laid out and hundreds of
tents erected. These will be In every
way convenient and comfortable. They
will be floored and drained, supplied with
water and the best of service by a corps
of servants. The service will be as good
as afforded by the hotels, and at the mod
erate price for which they will be let
will solve the lodging problem for thou
sands of people. It Is estimated that the
average dally attendance will be 150,000,
but the management Is confident that
there will be no overcrowding, and every
effort will be made to protect the public
from extortion.
Colonel Parker was formerly president
of the St Louis, Vandalla & Terre Haute
Railway and Is a veteran railway builder
and operator. He is one of the foremost
citizens of the World's Fair city and a
gentleman of wide experience and cul
ture. He and his family will remain here
for several days visiting points of inter
est in and around Portland.
PRAISE FOR HIGH SCHOOL
Dr. Levine Finds It Equal to Those
of Largest Cities.
Dr.. David Levine, the eminent Jewish
divine of New York City, who is here
assisting Dr. Stephen S. Wise at Temple
Beth Israel, paid a visit to the Portland
High School yesterday and was greatly
Impressed with the high character of the
work being done by Professor T. T. Davis
and his assistants.
Dr. Levine has made a comprehensive
study of the public school systems of the
leading cities In the United States and
will shortly publish a book on "The Mu
nicipal Colleges of the United States."
"I am more than delighted with Port
land's High School," said Dr. Levine last
evening," and can say unhesitatingly
that It compares favorably with those
of ' the largest cities in the country. For
one thing, I was surprised at the large
attendance of 800 students. For ten years
and more I have been studying closely
the High Schools of New York and other
cities and the school here Is a revelation.
The thoroughness of the work done im
pressed me more than anything else.
There Is none of the unnatural forcing
of the scholar which I have found in
some places. This, I take It is due largely
to the careful management of Professor
Davis, whose methods are deserving of
the highest commendation. He has an
able corps of teachers and the youth
of this cltv are to be ennirrn.tuln.ted on
their magnificent opportunities. During
my visit to the school I had the pleasure
of briefly examining some of the classes
In the Latin, scientific and history de
partments and was greatly pleased at
the admirable answers I receired,
"The modern Idea of education Is to
make the high school a combination of
preparatory and collegiate courses to
make the Instruction qualitative, not
quantitative, and this Idea Is being splen
dldly carried out here. The high school
period is a critical one In the life of our
youth. It is the time when boys and
girls begin to think independently and at

r, nfBf nrfvi -nri inntniftHnn. Th
and safest advice and Instruction. The
pupil begins to speculate on the principle
of established Government and religion
and. If Improperly directed, they may
very easily go astray.
"I had the advantage of studying the
history and philosophy of education un
der President Nicholas Murray Butler, of
Columbia- University, and naturally am
deeply interested In educational subjects.
I expect to publish my book 'The Munici
pal Colleges of the United States,' during
the coming Winter, and was glad of an
opportunity of Investigating conditions in
this city.
. "I have the highest opinion of the effi
ciency of your High School, but am sur
prised that the municipality does not
supply text books. This Is done In the
best schools of the country and It seems
to me that Portland Is rich enough and
progressive enough to supply the students
with books without Individual outlay on
their part The tax levy should be suffi
cient to do this, but if it Is not I think it
should be raised to meet this demand.
"In all other respects, however, you
have a most admirable school and I am
glad of an opportunity of saying so."
Shot mi Eleven-Pointed" Deer.
ASHLAND. Or., Sept 25. (SpecIaL) The
largest blackballed deer which has ever
been killed in Southern Oregon, as far as
known, was shot a few days ago In the
mountains east of Ashland by George
Owen, a Dead Indian rancher. The animal
wore' an immense spread of horns, and
upon one fork there were 11 points and
on the other nine, a prong having been
broken -ott. one of th antlers. The animal
dressed 192 pounds, and "was Tolling in
fat
Hunters have been quite successful In
capturing deer in the mountains -of South
ern Oregon this season, and as the hide
hunters are not allowed to start in busi
ness again, say well-informed parties,
there Is no reason why deer should not
steadily increase In numbers, with the
protection of the laws as now framed put
around them.
ROBERTS DECISION WAITS
No
Meeting Until Stenographic
Notes Are Transcribed.
Eyes from many quarters are turned
upon the police committee of the Execu
tive Board and. Mayor Williams while
the decision In the Roberts case is pend
ing. Until the committee decides whether
or no Roberts can be considered gullty
of the graft charges preferred against
him.
Among the members of the Municipal
Association and the Ministerial Associa
tion this interest Is especially manifested.
Those Interested In munlcpal reform want
to know what will be the verdict in the
Roberts case before hey take any fur
ther steps toward turning the hose upon
other parts of the city government
Roberts has confessed to a technical
violation of the rules governing special
officers when he admitted that on a few
occasions he had received money from
fallen women for services rendered.
Though the amount was small In every
case, according to his statements, yet
the fact of his taking it was contrary to
the wishes of the Mayor, .as expressed
many times.
If the police committee believes Itself
justified in setting aside absolutely, the
positive statements of the North TKtrd
street saloonkeepers to the effect that
they paid Roberts a regular stipend, and
the testimony of the five Japanese women
examined that they contributed to Rob
erts' pocket.'they still have the admission
of Roberts that he took money for serv
ices rendered in theway of additional
work.
The stenographic notes of the two ses-
slons have not yet been transcribed, and
until this is completed, the members of
the police committee and the Mayor will
not meet to consider a verdict

A SHAME
To Poison Children.
"I have made coffee during the 17
years I have kept house on an average of
at least once a day until we gave It
up altogether. My husband was often
forced to leave off drinking it for several
weeks at a time owing to severe pains in
his heart, which he declared were
caused by coffee."
So says a lady of S. Atkinson, Me. "I
had a bad stomach trouble, my appetite
was poor, and what food I ate did not
digest and I had no strength.
"I also had bad nervous trouble and
suffered much from headaches and
feeling of suffocation and faintness. We
have four children and all were very
fond of coffee and drank it every morn
ing, seldom eating much breakfast
They were pale and often complained of
feeling faint and dizzy and one daughter
had indigestion badly. My husband's
father who lives with us was badly
bloated and sometimes said I believe
coffee hurts me.' But after trying for a
few days to get along without It the habit
of a lifetime proved too strong and he
would call for a cup of coffee.
"Last Spring we began reading about
the wonderful cures by Postum Food
I --""cu aim uecume iniereaieu uuu ue
?Ided to try It So we stopped coffee and
began using Postum. In a surprisingly
short time we all noticed a very decided
change In health all round. The
children's appetites Improved and after
using Postum a short time they began to
eat hearty breakfasts every morning.
Elizabeth's dyspepsia is all gone and she
says she can eat anything now and It
does not hurt her. They no longer com
plain of feeling faint and dizzy and all
are growing plump and rosy.
"I have gained eight pounds myself
although doing more work than I have
been able to do for years. My appetite
is good, food digests, nerves are stronger
and I have none of the other troubles.
It Is simply wonderful.
"My husband has no more trouble with
his heart and father-in-law does not bloat
and can breathe much more easily.
""We had made the change from coffee
to Postum without telling father-in-law
but one morning after we had used
Postum a short time he sipped his coffee
and said: 'How much better this is, how
did you happen to get such good coffee?
and he wasv greatly surprised when told
It was not coffee but the food drink
Postum. He declares that It has done
him great good and he has not been so
Avell for years although he Is now 70
years of age. A lot of my other relatives
have had almost the same experience, all
of them "having found out that it pays to
-give up coffee and drink Postum If you
want to be healthy and happy." Name
given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
