claiming It -was a needless expense. There
has arisen a good deal of acrimonious cor
respondence between the two officers over
the incident. The Quartermaster says he
hopes the affair will be kept out of the
papers. A special committee composed of
C. J. Ward, M. L. Pratt, J. A. Newell,
John W. Ogilbee and L McGowan has
been appointed to reconcile the differences
between the two officers and settle the
dispute. If this committee does not suC'
ceed they may have to call in the assist

Ministers Off for Vacation. Rev. An
drew J. Montgomery, of. the Third Pres
byterian Church, leaves this morning with
his family ior Trout Lake, near Mount
Adams. He will be joined Wednesday by
.Rev. Henry E. Marcotte, of the Westmin
ster Presbyterian Church, and the two
will take their vacation of a month to
gether. John Teuscher, of the St. Johns
school, and wife, leave for Trout Lake to
4a.y. Rev. u. E. Rockwell; presiding elder
of the Portland district, and wife, have
gone to Government Camp to spend sev
eral weeks. Rev. D. A. Thompson, pastor
of the Se.Sfc jo& Presbyterian Church, will
go to Trout Lake about the middle of Au-
gust to spend a month there. Rev. P. J.
. Green, of the Memorial Evangelical
5-hurch- and family have gone to the
53 Eagle Creek country, Clackamas County,
where they will spend several weeks.
Rev. William D. Randall, of the Central
Baptist Church, does not expect to take
a regulation vacation, but the church has
dispensed with the evening services for
the next three weeks, which will relieve
the strain somewhat.
Milwaukee Has Water. The new
water plant for Mllwaukie is completed,
and water has been turned into the
mains. Nearly every family within reach
has tapped the new mains and is now
supplied from the plant. The water is of
good quality and is said to be abundant.
Two-inch fire hydrants are placed along
Main and other streets for fire protec
tion, although as yet the city has not
provided hose. Altogether there are 7000
feet of pipe laid, the longest, line being
laid to. the home of J. Knight, about 2000
feet. A turbine wheel furnishes power
for the pump, and water Is forced into a
15,000-gallon tank. 45 feet above the pump,
or S5 feet above Main street. There will
be force enough to carry water to the
second story of the Mllwaukie school
house. The cost of the works was about
53000. One result is that wells are being
discontinued as fast as possible. B. O.
Fisch, C. Kerr and others are promoters
' of the enterorlse. Thev have a creed to
sell to the city at any time after five
years If the people vote to purchase the
plant.
Death of Thad. F. Fisher. The death
of Thad. F. Fisher , occurred at McMinn
vllle on Friday, July 29. Mr. Fisher had
been In poor health for the past year.
and although those who knew him best
were worried over his condition, yet no
L great alarm was felt. The telegram an-
p nounclng his sudden death by paralysis
' of the brain was a severe blow to his
wife and friends. Mr. Fisher had been
a resident of Portland for nearly 15 years
ana naa resided at lbo East Thirty-third
street. He was a man of earnest en
deavor, a true and loyal friend and bore
the respect of all who knew him. His
funeral was held at the family residence
at 8 P. M. Sunday, Rev. W. H. Selleck
officiating, under the auspices of the
Woodmen of the World, of which order
he was a prominent member. The inter

Picnics at Council Crest. Tho woods
below Council Crest were filled with pic
nickers yesterday afternoon and evening.
Portland Heights cars were filled to over
flowing and the shekels poured Into the
coffers of tho street railway company.
The exodus from the city began at an
early hour in the morning and continued
until dark. Innumerable parties spread
their lunch on the sward and romped
through the woods in search of shade.
The soft freezes that wore wafted
through the woods tickled the fancy of
the picnickers and caused them to forget
the heat and dust. Hundreds rode around
tho new loop and hundreds wandered to
the Crest, from which they looked long
ingly to the snowy summit of Mount
Hood, which stood in bold relief against
the Eastern sky.

Old Ladt Thrown From Car. Mrs. B.
E. Lannlng, aged 75, who resides at 243
Fifth street, was painfully injured, by
slipping and falling from a street-car at
the corner of Third and Tamhill streets
at 10:30 o'clock last night No one present
was able to tell exactly how the accident
happened, and Mrs. Lanning herself stated
that she did not know exactly what
caused her to fall, butlt is supposed she
attempted to leave the car just as the
signal was given to go ahead. She was
thrown heavily to the pavement and mo
mentarily stunned. At first it was sup
posed that her injuries were serious. Dr.
A. C. Panton was called, and after an
examination ordered the patient removed
to the Good Samaritan Hospital. It was
found there that while the injuries were
painful they were not serious. Though
Mrs. Lannlng was badly bruised no bones
were fractured, and It Is not thought that
she suffered Internal injuries.

Yesterday evening at 6 o'clock J. W.

CROWDS I00P THE LOOP.
Thousands Ride Over New Line to
Portland Heights.
"Please take the next car," was the
cry of the conductors on the Portland
Heights line yesterday, and every time
that call was given the conductor was in
the right. Thousands of people paid their
10 cents to ride over the new line, and
in each Instance they were satisfied and
wondered how any system of electricity
could carry them to the pinnacle of the
hills which overlook the city.
Every car which proceeded toward the
west during the day carried Its full com
plement of passengers and as night came
on the outside of the buffer was used
hy men who were anxious to make the
trip. Every car was filled to its capacity.
and the Portland girl without her hat was
in evidence. She was there with her fa
ther, mother, brother and sister, and in
every case the nickel was paid In. order
that she might see the city by sunlight
or under, the glare of the, electric
One car- in particular was crowded ana
upon the rear platform was a visitor from
Los Angeles. That individual could not
restrain himself when tho Heights were
reached and the city lay practically at his
feet. This Is what he said:
"I have always supposed that Los An
geles could beat anything on the Pacific
Coast, but this does us up. Why anyone
would want to go to Switzerland when
they can get a view, like this I can't
understand, but I suppose they were the
same as I was, and did not know that
they could get as good scenery right
here as they can abroad."
Whether the pretty, hatless Portland
girls caused the visitor from Los Angeles
to proclaim his feelings openly, only those
who have made the trip over the new
line can say. Some who have gone over
the new route and looped the loop kick
because they cannot have a whole car
to themselves. They all admit that that
Is the only kick they can make.
While no positive statement could be
secured from the railroad officials last
night regarding the number of passengers
who patronized the new loop, it is safe
to say that fully 7000 people rode over the
line yesterday and last night. Every car
which passed along the new line was
carefully looked after by the conductors
and motormen, all of whom were old
hands, and in many- instances the safety
system, by derailing, was explained
Portland- Heights will be a greater at
traction from now on than It ever was.
and the hatless girl will be a feature on
every car that climbs the hill and runs
into the cool breeze that blows while
the electric lights glimmer at the feet of
the sightseer.

.For the closing week of the Baker
Campany's Summer engagement "The
Prince of Liars," one of Sydney Grundy's
brightest farcical' comedies, was selected.
It gave entire satisfaction at two performances-
yesterday, and provides the
company with a good vehicle for the last
week of its stay in Portland. The play
is light, decidedly so. It was written
with a view of crowding the greatest
possible number of laughs into a given
time, and In the present hands, the aim
of the playwright seems realized. It has
a suspicion of motive, simply to snow
again that we weave a very tangled web
when "first we practice to deceive.
Guy Standing has more of the center
of the stage this week than in any for
mer production. As Hummingtop, the
versatile and dexterous liar, who sets out
to deceive his wife, all his friends and a
ehrewish mdther-In-law, he is irresistibly
funny. It is tho "fat" part of the play
and Standing makes the most of his many
opportunities. Ralph Omerod, his friend
and confidant, played by Charles Mackay,
affords considerable scope for Mr. Mac
kay's splendid light comedy talents. How
ard Russell, as a horsy young reprobate
with a penchant for three-star brandy, is
excellent, and his make-up shows positive
genius. Tho small part of Dobson, the
butler, Is assigned to Frederick Esmelton,
who does it well enough.
Dallas Tyler, as the "India-rubber girl,"
gives us another of her delightful imper
sonations of the not overly harmful ad
venturess. Her acting of the part con
tributes largely to the success of tho per
formance. As a mischief-making mother-in-law of

How the Associated Press Gets the News
Censors Are Bne of Correspondents' Existence, Says Paul Cowles
San Francisco Chronicle, July 26.
EARILT pacing the. Pacific Mail
dock and saying things anent
the United States customs not
at all complimentary, was the ptcturo
presented by Paul Cowles, division super
intendent of the Associated Press, who
returned on the China yesterday. This is
the same vessel on which Cowles left San
Francisco for the Orient about five
months ago for the purpose of organizing
the Far Eastern staff of Associated Press
war correspondents.
"I didn't see anything of the war," was
the first statement made by Mr. COwles.
"I was' near the Russian forces at one
time, however, xand that was when I was
In Nlu Chwarjg. I didn't go out to the
Orient for the purpose of corresponding.
My orders were to get in touch with all
our men out there, and see that they
were well supplied with the necessities of
the campaign. I -was in charge, of the cor
respondents, and, from Shanghai, directed
their movements. It was my idea, at
first, to make Shanghai the base of op
erations:' to have the correspondents
wire everything to that point, and from
there to piece together the different
storieB and send them on. We did not
find this plan very satisfactory, however,
and It was abandoned.
"We have men at each of the differ
ent points of interest -and several vith
both the Japanese and Russian armies.
Of course we must maintain a large force
of men out there, and cover every point
from which news is likely to emanate,
therefore I cannot say that our work Is
a failure. But considering the enormous
amount of money we are spending, the
returns are very slight It Is not the fault
of the men; they are all trustworthy, en
ergetic fellows, selected especially for this
kind of work. If it is possible to get any
equipment of special scenery has been
provided. The costumes will be the finest
obtainable and the electrical effects novel

the old piece has been retained and much
that is more modern added. The same la

aUESTION OP JUSTICE.
Rev; John A. Ryan Casts Light on
Trouble of Oapital and Labor.
Rev. John A. Ryan, of the St Paul
Theological Seminary, St Paul, Minn.,
preached at St Mary's Cathedral yester-
aay morning on "Some of the Ethical
Phases of Labor Unionism." He said in'
part:
"What is somewhat vaguely called: the
Labor Question' is fundamentally a
question of justice: It concerns the right
distribution of the joint product of labor
and capital. All fair-minded persons be
lieve that the laborer and the capitalist
ought to get a fair return for their serv
iced to Industry, a fair return, not the
utmost that they can secure by tho ex
ertion of such economic force as they
possess. -And although the difficulty of
deciding what Is a fair wage and a fair
profit Is often great, It Is not insur
mountable. It Is clear, at least, that the
laborer has a right to a decent living for
himself and family, and that the em
ployer has a right to a fair rate of In
terest and to a fair profit And in nine
cases out of ten a jury of competent and
disinterested men wouia readily agree
concerning the rates of Interest and
profits that are fair and just The diffi
culty Is that the opposing parties In in
dus trial disputes too often strive fo get
all that they can, not all that is right
as to lanor organizations, tnesn are
legitimate so long as their purpose Is to
obtain just wages and pther fair con
ditions of employment, but they act tin
Justly when they attempt to secure wages
that will not allow of a fair profit to tho
employer. The characteristic methods
oi unionism, sucn as tne striKe, tno ooy
cott, the closed shop are all legitimate
within due limits, but not in all clrcum
stances, and when pushed to extremes.
For example, a strike should never be
called until a peaceable means of ad
justing a dispute has been tried, and
then only when the laborers are right In
their contention. The boycott is wrong
when it is directed against outsiders who
have no personal interest In tho dispute,
and who are in no way to blame for the
injustice suffered by the laborers. Tho
closed shop is a justifiable method when
ever the employer as frequently happens
would U3e the open shop as a means to
supplant unionists by nonunlonlsts, or
when he would, use his nonunlonlst em
ployes as a club to beat down the wage?
of the whole group. No rights are violated
In the closed-shop regime, for the un
lonlst undoubtedly has the right to re
fuse to work -with a nonunlonlst and vice
versa.
"If all men, laborers, employer and tho
general public would realize that the
labor question Is at the bottom a question
of justice, and that like all other ques
tions of justice. It is many-sided and
complex, and If all . would strive to con
slder, to discuss and to adjust particular
industrial disputes in the light of these
twp facts, nine-tenths of the strikes would
be avoided and 90 per cent of the present
bitterness between capital and labor
would disappear."
IffAYOS MUST SIGH DEED.
Aberdeen Council Had the Right to
Sell City Property.
MONTESANO, Wash., July 21. (Spe
cial.) In the mandamus proceedings
brought by K. Zelasko, to have the Court
order Mayor West, of Aberdeen, and the
City Clerk, sign a deed to the lot which
the City Council had sold to said Ze
lasko, and when the Mayor had refused
to execute the deed for. the Court yes
terday decided that the Mayor was act
ing simply as a ministerial officer, and
was under the direction of the City
Council in the matter: and as the' Coun
ell had accepted the bid of K. Zelasko
for the property and directed that the
Mayor and Clerk execute the deed, the
Mayor and Clerk must follow the in
structlons of the Council and sign the
deed.
The- property In question was the lot
on which the City Hall and Jail, which
were burned in the Aberdeen fire of last
December, had stood. The Council de
elded to sell that lot and buy another on
Market street. The property was offered
for sale, and K. Zelasko's bid was the
highest and was accepted by the Coun
cil, who 'ordered a deed executed by the
Mayor and Clerk. Mayor West refused
to' sign the deed, and Zelasko brought the
proceedings to compel the execution of
the deed with the above results.

To briefly summarize, one might say that
almost everything at all Interesting comes
under this head.
"The men in the field are a decided

It was good to sit beneath the shelter

the City Park, where Brown's Park Band
played its prettiest yesterday afternoon.

for the applause at the end of a favorite
number was insistent and hearty. Many
happy family parties were present father.
mother and children, glad to escape in a
measure from the heat of the city and
bask in the coolnees of the park trees,
and "listen to the music of the band,"
as the dialogue in "The Runaway Girl"
has It The audiences attending these
band concerts are steadily improving in
numbers and discernment, and they know
what to applaud. At the same time, the
playing of Brown's Reed Band is steadily
improving, and it satisfies even the most
fastidous, especially those people who
take a delight in being hypercritical.
xesterday afternoon the programme
was the most varied, so far presented this
season. The march, "Caesar's Trium
phal," by Mitchell, was rendered with a
fine swlnff, and in perfect time, and
Relssinger's overture, "The Mill on the
Cliff," was brilliantly played. B. F. Drls-
coll's cornet solo, Hartmann's "Faclllte,
was much enjoyed because of the pure
tone emitted and the excellent phrasing.
The solo was warmly encored, and Mr.
Drlscoll responded with an operatic se

again, for their good work Is sure to be
enjoyed. "The Dawn of Love," by Ben
dlx, contains some exquisite coloring, and
this was well brought out by Conductor
Brown. Of course the excerpts from De
Koven's "Robin Hood" were more than
enjoyed. The multitude never tires of
such gems as "Brown October Ale," "O,
Promise Me," and "The Tinkers' Song,"
and the band did them full justice. It
played with a swing and dash that comes
from long practice, under a capable con
ductor. Band Concert Tonight.
