i THJ5,MOKtfIJSTG OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1904. S THAT CUT Mayor's Keen Wit Hits City Reform BEFORE BAR ASSOCIATION "Portland as Law-Abiding as . Any Other." TAKES FLING AT JUDGES Alfred F. Sears, Jr., Elected Presi dent Oregon Bar Association at Fourteenth Session Co mm 1 1- tee Reports on DItchburn. "I -will not say that this city Is the best governed, hut I can truthfully say that it Is the most governed city in the United States. "If. the Ministerial Association had Its way, Portland would be a New Jerusa lem, such as St. John saw in nis -vision. In fancv. if the association had its way, I could see Dr. Hill and myself walking In the New Jerusalem, he singing bass and myself singing also. "The Municipal League is composed of most excellent gentlemen. Many of tnem came from Scotland to teach Americans how to behave themselves. I llUe Scot land ttir its romance, its poetry yes, even its whisky, but Scotch Presbyterianism Is about as digestible to me as pickles and sauer kraut. "Then there is the Taxpayers League, which. Is known far and wide for its Joe Teal. "There Is also the Sheriff of the coun ty. He reminds me of the bull in the china shop who smashed everything he could reach, and what he did not smash he left in a very unsavory condition. "A reform measure that is carried on with revolvers and sledgehammers may be best for the city there is even some doubt about this. "We have four of the best Circuit Judges in the state. They are prone to nervousness when they are confronted by honest gamblers. Judge George shdwed this when he rendered a decision the other day that took up two columns in the newspapers. "In spite of the howling of the press and the preachers, Portland is as law abiding as any city in the world." All these and many more bon mots were handed out by Mayor George H. "Williams at the banquet given last night by the Oregon Bar Association at the Commer cial Club. The banquet was the closing feature of the 14th annual meeting of the association, and it was a happy end ing to one of the most successful meet ings ever held by the members of the bar. The banquet was attended by local members of the bar and bench and also prominent members of the bar from throughout the state. A splendid dinner was served and at the close a well-selected programme of speakers were lis tened to with a great deal of Interest. Lionel R- Webster, in a most happy vein, introduced the different speakers, and the lawyers remained seated around the tables until a very late hour. Mayor Williams was the first speaker. The sub ject assigned him was "The Lawyer in City Government." The Mayor treated his subject in a light vein, and he car ried his audience along with a series of stories about the various reform associa tions which helped to make his tenure of office a happy one. His address was wit ty and satirical to a degree. His refer ence to the many good people of the city who knew more about running the city's affairs soon set the many lawyers pres ent in rare good humor, and he was re peatedly interrupted by applause. In the language of the street poet, he "took a fall" out of all the reform associations, the Judges on the bench, and wound up with a bit of glistering on Sheriff Tom Word. It was all good-naturedly done, so much so that the fling the Mayor took atJ. N. Teal, who was present, struck him so that he laughed and applauded louder than any one else. Seven Other Speeches. The other speakers followed the May or's strain of light and serious vein. The speakers and the subjects assigned them follow: "What the Beach Owe tho Bar," John B. Cleland. "The End of tho Xiaw," "WalcVemar Seton. "Our Tmty to the Bar Association," Charles H. Carey. "The Client," William D. Wheelwright. "The lawyer's Obligation to Society," C H. 6. Wood. "Ebsll&h Courts in Action," George S. Shep herd. TIra Lawyer and Culture," Wallace Mc Camant. Jndgo Bellinger was scheduled for an address, but he sent word that tho land fraud cases had tired him exceedingly and he begged to be excused. The morning session of the gathering was taken up with the regular routine business. The report of the executive committee was read by Secretary A. F. Flegel, and it showed "the difficulty ex perienced in getting speakers for the an nual session. It also gave the reason for postponing the annual meeting two weeks to arrange for the session. The report was adopted, and was followed by Treas urer C J. Schnabel's report, showing a balance in the treasury of $490.44. He also handed In his resignation, after serving as treasurer of the Bar Association for the past ten years. Report on Oitchburn. In the case of the disbarment proceed ings against John DItchburn, the commit tee on grievances reported that while, in their opinion, they believed Mr. DItchburn guilty of unprofessional conduct with his client, John Forebush. they would not recommend disbarment, as they believed the offense was minimized. During the session the special committee on uniform legislation reported, favoring more uni form laws In the United States, especially to marriages and divorce. Attached to the report was a bill providing for the ap pointment of a state commission on the subject. This is to be Introduced at the next meeting of the Legislature. The committee bringing In the report consists of J. Kramer, H. Gruber and E. C. Bro naugh. The report met with the hearty Indorsement of the lawyers present at the meeting. The. committee on legal education and admission to the bar reported that during the year Just closed 2S candidates have been admitted to practice law In Oregon by examination before the State Supreme Court, 34 have been admitted to the Ore gon bar by certificates from other states, and 64 have been permitted to practice as probationers under the provisions for the nine-months' license provision. The following made application for membership in the association: J. R. Hos ford, Arthur C. Dayton, Richard "Williams and" cClyde Altchlson. A membership committee of Wallace McCamant, C. J. Schnabel aad R- T. Pratt "was appointed to report on the candidates foe admission. Tws addreceec were delivered before the 1 Oregon Bar Association yesterday after noon. One was by Judge M.

McLaughlin, whose wife, Almlra J. McLaughlin, recently sued him to ob tain a decree dissolving the matrimonial bonds existing between them, says he Is her third husband, and that she makes a business of getting married and divorced. McLaughlin yesterday filed an affidavit in the State Circuit Court In answer to a petition of his wife asking that he be required to pay her $150 to enable her "to pay the expenses of this suit against him. He recites in the affidavit that, as a matter of fact, he is not her legal hus band at all, for the reason she was mar ried to him within six months from the time she was divorced from Thomas W. Jenkins, in Seattle. The divorce decree forbid her to remarry until after the expiration of six months. She was di vorced from Jenkins September 26, 1P03, and her marriage to McLaughlin was solemnized at McMlnnville, March 24, 1901. This is a close shave, because It gives McLaughlin only a margin of two days to get within the six-months' limit, but he thinks ho can make the point stick. Before she was Mrs. Jenkins, Mc Laughlin asserts that she was known as Mrs. Lee. McLaughlin denies all the charges In the complaint. T,he allegations of Mrs. McLaughlin are that the defendant was jealous of her, and carried on a vexatious espion age on her movements. She says he wrote a vile letter to her in October last containing false accusations, which she submitted, to the United States postal authorities and caused him to be ar rested. McLaughlin owns property in Polk County valued at $7000. Mrs. McLaughlin asks tho court to decree her one-third of it and $40 per month alimony. Special Venire Summoned. It was found necessary yesterday to draw a special venire of trial jurors for the United States Court and summons were sent to the following, with Instruc tions to report on December 6: T. A.

LAUD VISITING NURSES DR. WISE AND DR. MACKENZIE APPROVE THIS CHARITY. Association Formed to Relieve the Sick Poor Receives the. Co-Ope ra tion of Kindred Organizations. The "Visiting Nurse Association yester day called a meeting at which delegates from the various churches and organiza tions of the city were present by Invita tion. It Is the wish of the association to have these institutions interest themselves In the work and lend both financial and personal assistance. There was a good response to the call, and aside from the churches the Young Women's Christian Association, the Needlework Guild of America, the Unitarian Women's Alliance, the Christian Union, St. Ann's Society, Women's Union. W. G. Elliot Fraternity, King's Daughters and many other organ izations were represented. An advisory board will be formed of which the dele gates representing these organizations will be members, and this will meet quarterly. Each will pledge a certain amount of financial support and give all other as slstance possible. Mrs. Millie R. Trumbull, president of the association, explained the work of the AND FOUL PLAY SUSPECTED Iran D. Lyons, Idaho pioneer, and a man known all over the Pacific Coast, has been missing since No vember 17. and his wife, living' at Jullactta. Idaho, fears that he has met with foul play. The police of the Northwest and as far south as San Francisco have been notified, and are searching for him. Thus far they have been unable to And a trace of him since he left the Cottage Ho tel at Spokane, having in his pos session $2100. Mrs. Lyons fears her husband has been murdered and robbed, for she states that he has never before failed to write to her every day, when ab sent. This time she has had no word from him since he left the Cottage Hotel at Spokane, on the morning of November 17. At that time. It has been ascertained, he was handed his money. $2100, and board ed a train for Edmonds, Wash., a small town between Seattle and Ev erett, on the line of the Great North ern Railroad. But that he never reached there Is shown by the re turn of all letters addressed to him at that place. Lyons lived for 20 years at Cotton wood. Idaho, where he conducted a visitlnir nursps In riptnll eltlnp mnnv no thetic cases of destitution and suffering which had been relieved by the timely aid or tne organization s nurses. A general re view of the work winvlnewl th noro rtnla gates that the charity is a noble and a necessary one, ana tnat it takes money to conduct It nrnnerlv- Mrs. Tnimhiill oner. gestcd that every member make herself or mmseir into a cneeriui Beggar for the sake of suffering humanity. At the close of her Interesting talk she Introduced Dr. K. A. J. Mackenzie, who unhestltatlngly pro nounced the work of the visiting nurse "the most deserving and practical charity I know." He stated that Its purposes were of the noblest, and underneath the many cases of "surface prosperity" which the general public did not penetrate, tho Visiting Nurse Association was enabled to relieve the greatest amount of suffering and poverty. The great importance of the work in contagious disease was dwelt upon by Dr. Mackenzie at length, and he referred to the poor chances of such patients for recovery without the services of the trained nurse. "A nurse can educate the household, and In that her services are Invaluable. She can teach its members the value of cleanliness, fresh air and sunshine. There are many kinds of bacteria which can be killed by the rays of the sun, and In many cases of poverty and destitution It is only through the offices of the trained nurse that the sun ever penetrates Into those lowly homes. "I want this association to understand that physicians are not indifferent or apathetic to your great charity. It Is highly appreciated, and I for one want to become a member of an organization which does such great and noble work." Dr. S. S. Wise followed with an equally sympathetic address, commending the work of the association. "Emerson defined civilization as the power of good women." he said, "and In that respect the civilizing effect of your work cannot be too highly estimated. One of the most admirable things about the way this association does Its work is that It does not force the suffering to parade their poverty and misery before the world, for. Instead of having to beg, they are sought out and relief administered unasked. The visiting nurse is a walk ing hospital, and when she goes Into the homes of the suffering poor she carries with her the benefits of such institutions. She Is a helpful and wise protest against the tendency to institutionalize every thing. The tendency of the wise charity workers Is away from institutions, and I expect to see1 the time when orphan asylums will be done away with entirely." Dr. Wise, like Dr. Mackenzie, Invited himself to become a member. The president will send out announce ments of the first meeting of the new ad visory board, the date to be settled by the executive board. PERSONAL MENTION. T. G.

Oregon Water Power & Railway Ob taining Right of Way Through Troutdale and Fairview. GRESHAM. Or.. Nov. 29. (Special.) Agents of the Oregon Water Power & Railway Company have been engaged In this neighborhood during the past two weeks securing right of way for the pro posed branch road to Troutdale. The branch will leave the present track at Cedarvllie, two miles west of here, and will cross the Base Line about one mile west of the Twelve-Mile House. From there it will go through Fairview. thence to Troutdale, and down the Sandy River to its mouth, where a ferry will be put in operation across the Columbia to La Camas. The right of way has all been secured except for less than one mile. One farmer. through whose land the surveys have been made, is offering opposition, but his pro tests will not be heeded, and It is proba ble that condemnatory proceedings will be commenced against him. A protest, numerously signed by resi dents of Gresham. against the proposed route was presented to the company, but was Ignored. An effort was made to have the branch road run direct from here to Fairview, but that was deemed im practicable. It is reported that the branch will be In operation within the next six months. The distance is about ten miles, but the grades will be easy. A petition Is being circulated asking the railway company to extend Its telephone line from the depot to the "central" office here. By this means messages from other points could be transmitted over the Pa cific States Company's line. NEW LODGE OFFICERS. Woodmen and Oddfellows of Gresham Hold Elections. . GRESHAM. Or.. Nov. 29.

(To the Editor.)-In the menu of a Scotch country dinner pub lished with others in your paper on Thanks giving day and which I loked over with much interest I noticed a dish styled Cockie-Leekie. I am not able to find It In my cook book and will be obliged If you will let me know what It Is, and It possible how It Is made. HOUSEKEEPER. The dish in question is a soup made by boiling a fowl with leeks or onions. It is an old-time favorite of the Scotch. "Housekeeper" has probably been misled In trying to hunt it up by an error In the name printed, owing to an "h" having been put in place of a "k". The true name of the dish is cockie-leekle, but In English cook books it Is styled "cock-a-leekie." To make it boil a young fowl in two quarts of white stock until It Is tender, then take It up and put It aside. Wash two bunches of leeks, trim away the roots and part of .the heads, and cut -them into one-Inch lengths. Put these Into the broth and add half a pound of boiled rice and a litle pepper and salt. Boll half an hour. Cut the fowl Into neat joints, put It Into the soup, boil up and serve very hot. The above Is true cockie-leekle soup. Soup bearing this name is, however, as often served without the fowl as with it. Time required for cooking an hour and .a half. - Tubing Inserted in His Stomac'-i. NEW YORK, Nov. 9.

Exhibition of Fine Pianos at the Ellers House. A Wonderful Collection of Choice and Costly Makes Indicative ef Western Culture The Progress of Piano Building Description of Several New Styles. The seventh annual exhibition of fine pianos at Ellers Piano House is provins a revelation to music and art lovers. The magnitude of the undertaking can only be fully appreciated by a visit to the store. The entire establishment is a complete and splendid art exhibit embracing a dis play of the richest-toned, and most famous of pianos known to the modern musical world. There Is an elaborate and extensive showing of such peerless pianos as the Chickering. whose tone possesses that subtle quality which Identifies It as THE CHICKERING, Just as a flower is iden tified by Its perfume, and which evades all imitation. In the present display of Chickerings are Included some very exceptional' art cased uprights, concert and parlor grands, and that gem of piano construction, the Chlckerlng quarter grand, a piano which embodies a remarkably graceful ease, vol ume and strength, as well as all tke beauty of the Chlckerlng tone, and yet is so small and compactly built that it occupies but Ifttle more space than an ordinary upright piano. So popular has the Chlckerlng quarter grand become as a wedding present that it Is known throughout the land as the "Brides" Piano." A new style Chickering upright an advance sample of 1905 style. Is receiving much praise not only on account of its tone quality and ease of action, but also for the elegance and symmetry of case design along novel lines. Tne display also includes the piano honored alike by Church, State and Stage the Weber. His Holiness, Pope Plus -v has selected it as the omciav piano of all the apostolic palaces, as well as . for hl3 own personal use. This, in itself, is a notable honor, as His Holiness is no less distinguished as a mulcian than as a scnolar. its manufacturers nave also recently been appointed official piano makers to the court of His Majesty the King of Spain. And by practically all the leading mu sicians of the world, singers and pianists, the Weber Is the preferred Instrument, its beautiful singing tone being a quality which appeals especially to the artist's ear. Special mention should be made here of numerous most elegant Weber styles In design adapted from the French and also from the German schools. In tone quality these Webers are superb, possess ing a wonderful refined sweetness; deli cacy and purity, combined with a reso nance and singing quality that has al ways characterized the instruments of Weber make. Kimball pianos have a no less conspic uous place In this display. These are the pianos that come from the factory where everything Is done right. They are worthily made, handsome and possess every tone requirement. Kimball pianos are found In cultured homes throughout the world, and in this Western country they enjoy a popular ity that is simply phenomenal. In Kimball pianos some new and at tractive designs of the Colonial school are coming In for much praise. There is also a new style large upright In five-panel effect that is very striking and also origi nal. In connection with this it may be stated that the last order just received from the Seattle School Board for Kim ball pianos places thirteen Kimball up rights and one Kimball grand (the latter In the high school) before every child of school age in the City on the Sound. Other great makes, such as the" Hazel ton, the Lester, the Hobart M. Cable, the many-toned Crown, the Story & Clark, the Hallet & Davis, etc.. eta. "are included in the exhibit. Every school of classic ,art is superbly represented Renaissance, Colonial, Chip pendale, new and chaste designs, the choicest woods In a great profusion of va rieties.
