Taxpayers to Investigate.
This week the Taxpayers' League com
mittee will spy Into .the offices bf the
Sheriff and the City Eengineer. Simon
men hope that evidence damaging to their
enemies will be unearthed, but Mitchell
men await the Investigation disdainfully.
Simon adherents say that the Mitchell
people set the primaries early in order
to head off the league. If the league de
signs to damage the Mitchell cause, the
committee must do Its work this week.
L. J. Goldsmith, the secretary of the
league, said last night that the commit
tee is not yet complete In Its member
ship. Will Affect Other Counties.
Early primaries in Multnomah will as
sist the victorious faction in organizing
other parts of the state; In fact this is
said to be the reason which prompted the
Mitchell leaders' to hasten the tussle. The
result of the battle in Multnomah will
work tremendous influence in outside
counties. All are hanging breathless on
the outcome here. Senator Mitchell's
Creditors In the East Were
After the Banker.
Parties Must Soon Fix County
Conventions.
HE TOOK ALARM SUDDENLY
CLAIMS OF THE FACTIONS
? I . ,. IT
Lawyers Had Information Which
Might Have Caused Arrest-Safe
Is Opened and Found to Con
tain Notes and Money.
FOREST GROVE, Or., March 6. (Spe
cial.) It has become known at this place
why the Dayton banker, A. C. Probert,
quit the Valley so suddenly last week.
Persons in the East, where Probert opened
a. bank last June, which failed in three
months, sent to Hollis & Hawks, local
attorneys here, for collection certain judg
ments, notes and accounts, amounting
to many hundred dollars, also other in
formation which later would lead to
Probert's arrest and extradition. Earl B.
Hawks, of the firm named, called at Day
ton to look over the situation but' found
nothing to satisfy the claims. Probert,
probably suspecting from the nature of
the claims presented and the immediate
resignation of his cashier, that Mr. Hawks
had possession of other damaging infor
mation and a knowledge of his bank
schemes, did not wait for further devel
opments, but fled at once, though he
usually runs his banks about three or
lour months before he departs.
BANK SAFE IS OPENED.
Found to Contain Notes and Small
Sum of Money.
DAYTON, Or.. March 6. (Special.) The
Dayton Savings Bank, which has been
closed since the disappearance of A. C.
Probert on March 2. was attached by some
of the depositors yesterday and the safe
was opened by the Sheriff. He found it to
contain notes to the amount of 520S0 and
$33 in cash. The safe is worth $500 and is
known to have been paid for, so the de
positors will not lose much after realiz
ing on these assets.
The suit brought by a number of the
creditors against the men who were ap
pointed directors by Probert has caused a
good deal of feeling. They refused to
eerve and Probert ran the bank alone, so
they disclaim responsibility.
Went to Claim Furniture.
"William Gadsby, of this city, returned
yesterday from Dayton, where he went to
claim the furniture of the Dayton State
Bank, bought of him by Arthur C. Pro
bert, the missing banker. Mr. Gadsby stat
ed last night that he found things in the
exact condition in which they had been
stated in The Oregonlan and that the de
positors had attached everything in the
bank building, which consists, as far as
they know, of the furnlutre and the safe.
"We don't know just where we are on the
situation," said Mr. Gadsby, "but the fur
niture has not been paid for and whether
the depositors have a better right to It
than we, remains to be seen."
BOOKKEEPING WAS BAD.
Grant County Treasurer, Who Killed
Himself, Short Over $3000.
JOHN DAY, Or., March 6. (Special.)
Tne three experts employed by the Coun
ty Court of Grant County to expert the
books of Treasurer Martin, who recently
committed suicide In his office, have com
pleted their work and handed in the re
port to the County Court. The books and
unfinished work together show that there
is a shortage In the deceased Treasurer's
accounts of $3641.4S.
This board of expert accountants states
that the accounts were in a badly tangled
condition. As an illustration of the loose
ness with which the work was carried on
the bookkeepers found that one warrant.
i bearing on its face the sum of $2.78, was
paid up and balanced against a check
for ?27S. Other similar errors my have
done much to confuse the Treasurer who
was working hard to get his books ready
or Inspection when the experts called
for them the night before the suicide.
The result of the investigation seems to
he that the Treasurer was guilty of noth
ing worse than lack of system in book
keeping, and that he could not make a
proper accounting of the county funds.
The estate of the deceased Treasurer is
appraised at something over $3000, and the
remainder of the shortage will be
assumed by three bondsmen.
POWER FROM MORGAN LAKE.
La Grande May Soon Have Subur
ban Electric Lines.
A GRANDE, Or., March 6. (Special.)
Morgan Lake, situated about two miles
above La Grande, has been thoroughly
tested as to the auit of power and
water that can befKned from it. The
power will be us5K different impor
tant things for theHt of La Grande
and the communltj-B--e power will be
used for the electric light plant and to
run a motor line to Hot Lake and other
points In the county.
The engineer reported to the officials
of the electric light company that their
plan was entirely feasible and practicable.
The plans call for a fraction over two
miles of pipe and the power obtained
through the pipe will be equal to 500 horse
power. The reservoir when filled will con
tain water sufficient to furnish this
amount of power for a period of one year
without receiving any additional supoly
In other words when the lake Is filled it
"trill contain enough water to suuply water
lor 600 horse-power. The lake is situated
1100 feet above the power station, which.
according to the plans of the engineer,
will be located near the site of the Old
Town flouring mill.

DESIGN FOR NEW SYNAGOGUE CONGREGATION AIIAVI SHOLOM.
The Congregation Ahavi Sholom, whose synagogue was situated for many years on. Sixth street, between
Oak and Pine, has sold that property, and Is now preparing to build a new edifice on the southeast corner of
Park and Clay streets. The plans for the building, which have been drawn by Edgar M. Lazarus, are for a
pebble-dash , structure to cost about $20,000.
The style of architecture is the classic renaissance. In which many churches, especially of the smaller
order, were built in Northern Italy, according to the Greek model as understood by the people of the renais
sance. The result is a peculiar, but harmonious mixture, particularly adapted to smaller churches.
The assembly hall of the church Is elevated enough from the ground to allow for rooms for the Sabbath
school.
CUTTING DOWN ITS DEBT
CENTENARY CHURCH CLIPS OFF
ANOTHER 2000.
Members Respond Liberally to Pas
tor's Appeal and Now Have Re
duced Total to $8000.
The debt of Centenary Methodist Epis
copal Church, East Side, was lowered over
$2000 the past week, and when Rev. W.
B. Hollingshead entered his pulpit yes
terday morning to again present the finan
cial question, he did so with an optimistic
spirit During the week the $10,000 debt
dropped to less than $SO0O and he felt
satisfied that the members and friends
of Centenary were responding, and that
the debt would be cleared away by Jan
uary 1, 1S05. Mr. Hollingshead spoke
mainly on the subject of giving.
The debt campaign was started Febru
ary 21 by a statement of the situation In
the Church Bulletin. The following facts
were given: Two years ago the total
debt was $2S,$10; in 1902, $5500 was paid
off and in 1503 $1154, a total of $6554.15
being paid on the principal and $5120 back
interest was forgiven and cancelled. The
total concession by the Church Extension
Society to Centenary Church is $11,955.
Mr. Hollingshead has started a pyramid
with $10,000 at the top, which Is being
moved down as the subscriptions are re
ceived. The $10,000 which appeared at the
top of this pyramid will not appear there
again. It dropped down several blocks
the past week and yesterday the figures
were $SO0O. It will drop lower as the
subscriptions come In until It will dis
appear and the money subscribed will
take its place. In the pyramid yesterday
there were four $100 subscriptions, one $200,
one $325 and other amounts ranging from
$50 down to $5. Dr. Hollingshead says
he adopted this method to keep the sub
ject alive and before the membership un
til it Is out of the way. He said yester
day evening hopefully:
"We shall pay the debt Of that I am
assured. During the week the statement
published last Monday to the effect that
there were, prospects that Centenary
Church would get out of debt attracted
attention and I have received assurances
of outside assistance. Of course, I never
count on a subscription till I get It In
black and white, but those who gave me
assurance of aid mean what they say.
We raised $5000 for repairs. We shall have
to give about double what we gave for
repairs to get the $10,000. I have the list
of those who gave for repairs, and
so far the Individual subscriptions to
the debt are double what they were
for repairs that is, the members are
giving $2 where they gave $1 for re
pairs. Letters have been sent to every
member asking contributions to pay this
debt The pledges are made with the
understanding that the full $10,000 will be
raised.
"The $10,000 is not a small amount
But we can raise it In fact we must
do so. Our hope Is in interesting the last
member. We cannot excuse anyone. We
would glady excuse all those who are
having real financial struggles, hut should
we do so, who would pay the debt?
"Our strength will be measured by our
united efforts, regardless of our means;
of course, we must give according to
our ability and as the Lord has prospered
us. It will require personal and real sac
rifice on the part of each member.
NEW PREACHER IN CHARGE.
Rev. F. Burgette Short's First Ser-
mon at Taylor Methodist Church.
The Taylor-Street Methodist Church
was crowded to the doors yesterday morn
ing, both members and outsiders being
anxious to hear the "new preacher." The
impression that Rev. F. Burgette Short
made upon them seemed to be a satisfying
one, for his sermon on "Incomparable
Glory" held the close attention nt nil.
In the Scriptural reading Mr. Short's
Shakespearean style gave promise of
something out of the ordinary In the
sermon -which was to follow, but he
proved later on that the good, old Meth
odist way of preaching was good enough
for him. His delivery is excellent, how
ever, and his powerful voice reaches every
corner of the large auditorium without
apparent effort He laid down Methodism
in a way that brought forth many respon
sive "amens" from the deacons, and he
took occasion to remark that ho hoped
Tumi
in time to hear some of those "amens"
from the younger men also.
His text being, "For I reckon that the
sufferings of this present time are not
worthy to be compared with the glory
which shall be revealed in us," he said:
Many are the mysteries of life which sur
round us. The mysteries of the air, of the
earth, of the sea, of the sky; but the great
est mystery which confronts us this morn
Ins Ilea in the fact that he who had been
beaten three times, stoned, shipwrecked a
day and night on the deep. In perils of
water, robbers; hungry, thirsty, and naked,
was able to declare, after due thought and
conclusive calculations, "that the sufferings
of the present time are not worthy to be
compared with the glory which shall be re
vtaled in us."
Goodness does not prevent suffering. If
so, Bunyan would not have been In prison;
Milton would not have been blind, Latimer
would not have suffered at the stake. The
righteous, as well as the wicked, must en
counter all of tho dangers, the diseases, the
sorrows and pains which are Incident to
human life; and happy is he who is able to
look beyond these things and to recognize
that all that he now sutlers "Is not worthy
of comparison with the glory of the Son of
God, which shall be revealed to us."
The Apostle was an optimist; he beheld
another life, another condition a life and
a condition of Indescribable beauty and In
effable glory.
This Incomparable glory of which the
Apostle speaks Is both subjective and ob
jective. Subjective in the sense that it is to
be seen In us. And this glory, which is to
be seen In us, is the glory which Jesus
Christ came to reveal to men. Jesus Is es
tablishing his kingdom In the earth; but
that kingdom is only being established as his
glory is being made manifest seen In the
life of those who profess to be his disciples;
and the unfolding of this kingdom In the
life of the individual is like the unfolding
of tbe flower in the garden. First we see
the tiny, tender bud, and Anally the full
blown, developed rose, which sends Its beau
ty and frangrance forth to gladden the
hearts of men. So the glory of God begins
in the human heart in just such a tiny way,
yet day by day, nurtured by tho spirit of
the master. It grows, and grows, and grows,
until there stands in the midst of men the
old saint upon whose forehead is seen the
light of the new day, and upon whoso
tongue there Is already the language of
Immortality. "Blessed Is he In whose life
there is seen the rovealed glory of the Son
of God! And he who possesses this glory
(not the result of luxury and leisure, and
the pleasure of the world, but the result of
sacrifice, toll, and tears). Is able to say, even
as said he, who was the Apostle to the
Gentiles, "that the sufferings of this present
time are not worhy to be compared with the
glory which shall be revealed in us."
The manifestation of this glory In us re
quires two things: First, the destroying' of
the old nature the crucifying of self; sec
ond, taking on of the new nature according
to the new man, which is Christ Jesus the
Lord. The beauty of this life, have we not
all seen It? The Apostle, himself, glorious
ly revealed it Alfred Cookman triumphantly
declared.
But this glory which is to be revealed is
not simply to be set-n In us as Individuals.
It must manifest itself In the great world
about us. The kingdoms of this world must
become the kingdoms of our Lord and of his
Christ; and when that day shall have come,
glorious will be our civil ' relations, our
ecclesiastical relations, our International re
lations. But only the life to come will see
the highest possible glory revealed In us.
There our possibilities and powers will en
Joy unlimited and untrammeled sweep In the
"City Four Square."
Heaven Is the place, and the only place,
where the full glory' of God shall be re
vealed In us; first because glory comes after'
the battles are fought and the victories won.
Secondly, because the natural body Is not
sufficiently strong to endure a perfect com
plete revelation of the glory of God.
What are the sufferings cf the Apostle
Paul in comparison with the influence which
he has left behind him? What the suffer
ings of Livingston In the Jungles of Africa in
comparison with the Inspiration one receives
when he stands upon the slab marking his
resting place in Westminster Abbey? What
the little suffering which you and I endure
In this life, compared with the glory which
"shall be revealed in us here, and revealed
In us more perfectly hereafter?"
Our life in every way must be true to our
Master. We need not expect
"To be carried to the skies
On flowery beds of ease.
While others fought to win the prize.
And sail through bloody seas.
Sure I must fight If I would reign;
Increase my courage. Lord;
Til bear the toll, endure ' the pain.
Supported by Thy word."
This, then, my brethren, ' Is my message
to. you this morning, "that ye be steadfast,
unmovable, always abounding In the works
of tbe Lord;" "that you endure hardness as
a good soldier of Jesus Christ;" "that you
work out your soul's salvation with ier
.J
I
i muvi mm tf. 1""
and trembling before God," always remem
bering that the sorrows and the sufferings
of this present life are not worthy to be
compared with the indescribable glory that
awaits you.
Rev. Mr. Short extended an invitation
to the congregation to call individually at
the parsonage, and he also reminded them
of prayer meetings. A large percentage
of those present yesterday morning re
mained after the service to extend greet
ings to the new pastor and his wife.
CAUSES GREAT AWAKENING.
Dr. Wilson Preaches at Central
Methodist Church.
Rev. Dr. Wilson, of Urbana, III., now
holding forth at the hall of the "Volunteers
of America, must have felt that the Divine
hand was upon him all day yesterday. At
the morning hour he preached at the
Central Methodist Episcopal Church,
Kerby and Russell streets, to Pastor
Young's large congregation, and there
was a great awakening, the good pastor
himself feeling Its wonderful effects. It
seemed as if tho audience was shaken
from center to circumference, it being
evident that the ministers earnest words
had struck a responsive chord In the
hearts of his hearers.
In the afternoon he preached to an
other large crowd in Volunteers Hall,
becond street between Everett and Flan
ders, and once more the sermon drew
many to the altar. Great numbers of
hearts were touched, and when the altar
call was made several church members
went forward. Others who had never
made any profession at all gave their
hearts to their Master.
Dr. "Wilson Is quite different from many
good and earnest evangelists, in that
there is little of "surface" religion about
his preaching. He is a deep, solemn
thinker, leading his hearers down Into the
very depths of salvation, and leaving
nothing unsaid tending to enlighten thosa
seeking true knowledge of the desires of
God respecting human service and human
righteousness. His words are ever the
expressions of sincerity, and so clear that
they "open wide the gates ' to human
understanding.
Dr. Wilson will continue with the Vol
unteers all this week, holding preaching
services at 2:30 and 7:30 P. M. To all of
these the public Is Invited.
REBUKES HIS OWN CHILD.
NewPastor of Aibina Church Startles
His Congregation.
Rev. C. M. Smythe, the new pastor of
the Mississippi-Avenue Congregational
Church, made the service yesterday morn
ing doubly memorable by Interrupting his
opening address to rebuke his own child
for misconduct This action startled the
congregation, but certainly had a good
effect on the rest of the youngsters, who
were quiet through the remainder of the
disclosure. Mr. Smythe referred to the
incident at the close of his talk In a feel
ing manner, and -what seemed at the time
an innovation was used as an effective il
lustration.
His opening message, he said, was more
in the form of a heart-to-heart talk than
a sermon. He defined what he considered
the duties and obligations of the pastor
to the members, and also what is re
quired of a congregation. Mr. Smythe
said that he accepted the Scripture as a
whole, and would preach .the simple Gos
pel, and he expected the support of the
congregation in the work.
There was a large congregation, and
the new. pastor was given a most hearty
welcome. Mr. Smythe is an able and cul
tured man.
A YEAR OF PROSPERITY.
Rev. E. N. Allen Rounds Out Twelve
Months at Cumberland Church.
Special services were held In the First
Cumberland Presbyterian Church, East
Twelfth and Taylor streets yesterday, it
being the first anniversary of the pastor
ate of Rev. E. Nelson Allen. The morn
ing sermon was a review of the work of
the year, and special music was rendered
A year ago Mr. Allen was wholly un
known In Portland, but he has come to
the front He was made secretary of the
Anti-Saloon League of the Northwest
and Is one of the foremost advocates of
local option.
Since he came to the First Cumberland
Presbyterian Church 43 persons have been
added to the membership roll, and the
Sunday school has increased nearly 300.
and there has been1 growth in all lines of
the church work. There was general re
joicing at the services of the day.
Each Says It Will Extinguish the

and Saloons Enjoy Laxity
Taxpayers' Intentions.
Not later than Wednesday, the Mitchell-
Carey organlzatiop will announce the day
and the apportionment of the Republican
County Convention. By the following Fri
day the Mitchell-Carey forces must file
with the County Clerk their ticket of dele
gates for the convention. By Saturday
night the Simon forces must file their
ticket The first will be the "Regular"
ticket and the second the "Independent"
From the two, Republicans will elect
delegates at the primaries, Wednesday,
March 16.
Should a majority of the "Regular" del
egates be elected, the Mitchell-Carey peo
ple will control the convention and the
politics of the county, the offices and the
fullness thereof. But should a majority
of the "Independents" be chosen, the anti
Mitchell forces, commonly called "Simon,"
will Inherit the county and all that therein
is.
Exchange of Courtesies. i
Thicker than shingles on the housetops
are the tongues which cry that their own
Republican faction is going to wear the
diadem after the primaries. And thicker
than hail on the shingles rattle their
boastings.
"The other fellows," shout the gentle
men of each persuasion across the abyss,
while owlish wisdom flaps and hoots amid
the crags and precipices, "the other fel
lows will wish they had never been born."
Democrats, through their County Cen
tral Committee, have already fixed the
apportionment of delegates for their Coun
ty Convention on April 14. They are not
convulsed with musty feuds as their Re
publican brethren. Accordingly, they will
put up only one ticket for the primaries.
Next Wednesday night they will choose
their city delegates at precinct caucuses
and on the following Tuesday afternoon
wlllyhold precinct caucuses in the coun
try for the same purpose. They are
required to file their city ticket with the
County Clerk not later than Friday, mid
night As the primary law applies only to
the city, no political party Is. required to
Hie Its ticket of country delegates.
Socialists Come Under Primary Law.
Socialists must file their regular ticket
of city delegates not later than Friday,
midnight Socialists now constitute a po
litical party recognized by law. They
polled nearly 1400 votes for Representative
to Congress in this county in June, 1902,
which -exceeds the minimum .requirement
of the law, entitling them to that recogni
tion. The statute defines a political party
as one that polled at least 5 per cent of
the total vote for Representative In Con
gress at the last general election.
The Democratic County Convention will
comprise 253 delegates, the Republican
only half as many. The executive com
mittee of the Republican County Central
Committee will probably decide upon a
convention of 125 delegates or less and
may make the apportionment at Its week
ly meeting tonight C. H. Carey, chair
man, is known to favor a small conven
tion. Slot Machines Pay Money Now.
The ban against slot machines that pay
money has been lifted and the many-colored
wheels are disgorging cash instead
of "slugs." At the same time saloon
keepers And it easier to keep open their
shops after 1 A. M.
All this, Simon men say, is allowed by
the Mitchell-Carey organization In order
to "pacify" the liquor men, the majority
of whom are known to be arrayed against
the Mitchell-Carey regime. Heretofore
cash-paying slot machines have been op.
erated only In dark corners, but now they
are out in the light For the past week
of two, the owners of the machines have
been extracting the "slugs" and substitut
ing coins therefor. When the men who
made the alterations were asked the rea
son they responded that it was "all
right" and that the police would offer no
molestation. Hitherto machines have paid
slugs which were exchanged over the
counter for money.
"But don't say anything about It" en
joined a saloonkeeper yesterday. "You'll
Just stir the thing up and we'll get the
worst of It"
A number of saloonkeepers have said in
the past few days that the law to com
pel 1 o'clock closing Is not rigidly en
forced. When asked to ascribe a. reason
they usally winked and said:
"Election's coming on. But sh !
You'll get us Into trouble. Things will
tighten up after election. That will be
soon enough. Let's have a show while
we can.
Small Fry Are Disgruntled.
Small liquor retailers think they have
a grievance against the city authorities
because, while they themselves have
been compelled to close promptly at 1
A. M. their big competitors have been
immune from interference. Mitchell
workers have sought to pacify the bel
ligerent element by arguing that, no mat
ter how the coming primaries shall go,
they will still control the city govern
ment and will be in a position to make
things warm for their enemies. They have
even made threats of high license. The
effort to "line up" the liquor dealers does
not, however, seem to have been success
ful. But several high chiefs under Judge
Carey yesterday denied the foregoing re
ports. They declared that If slot machines
were paying money, the practice was due
to a natural relaxation from rigid enforce

managers appear confident of success In
Multnomah, and they desire to make
their expected victory just as complete
as they can throughout the state.
Simon supporters are making the most
of high taxes to Incite property-owners
against their enemies. On this point they
And the Mitchell people most sensitive.
But the Mitchell workers are repelling
the assault by showing taxpayers that
for all the large appropriations which
.have made high taxes there was strong
popular demand. They present to taxpay
ers at the Courthouse a little printed fold
er explaining why taxes are so high this
year.
"But" declared a Simonite yesterday.
"that's a poor ointment Taxpayers growl
just the same."
Simon men expect high taxes to drive
many voters Into their camp. Mitchell
men are loud in their denials.
Simon's Extensive Claims.
Simon managers allege that Catholic
voters are largely against Mitchell and ad
duce as evidence the work of Dr. Andrew
C. Smith and John Drlscoll, who are
fighting Mitchell with might and main.
Simon people aver hat members of Evan
gelical churches and other persons who
resent the gambling policy of the present
administration will mostly support them;
alsox Jewish voters, Democrats and col
ored men.
But Mitchell managers lay claim to the
very same elements of strength. They
add that the anti-Simon sentiment of the
county is too strong to be resisted. They
believe that intrenched in the regular
organization, In control of county and city
offices, they are Impregnable.
When the primaries were first an
nounced Saturday morning, Simonltes
were not altogether pleased with the
early date. But they have since come to
believe that date will help them out; at
least that's what they say, but It would
be natural for themto say so anyhow.
ch faction asserts that It Is the fa
vorite with the business element of the
community. Simon chiefs have long boast
ed that business men are their best
friends.
A Mitchell follower said yesterday that
he had convinced himself the Simonltes
were "hot-airing" the public about their
strength among business men. Several
days before he had encountered 16 busi
ness men at a club luncheon and 14 of
them were anti-Simon. "And I asked
them Just as I happened to meet them,"
he said.

And This Is Justice.
Walla Walla Statesman.
The two boys, Cecil McMinn, aged 14,
and Frank Smith, aged 15, are still pa
raded along Main street twice a day In
clanking chains and nobody raises a hand
to save them from the lives of hardened
criminals. If those boys had only waited
until they were old enough to break a
savings bank or default as public officials,
troops of sympathetic friends would have
run their legs off raising money to save
them from prosecution. When a ragged
tramp, who might have been a bank presi
dent or a respected and popular county
official ten years ago, appears in town
he is promptly given orders to move on.
If he breaks Into a hencoop or a squat
ter's shack to steal a- little grub to keep
soul and body together, he can count on
going to the pen for four or Ave years. It
Is only the petty thieves as a rule who
are punished. The big, popular thieves.
who squander the money Intrusted to their
care for wine, women and gambling, al
ways stand a good chance of going scot
tree. And this Is what we call Justice!
