Notable Speakers Address the Peace
Meeting at Marquam, and After
an Unexpected Scene Arbi
tration Is Indorsed.
No battle-flags, rattle of drum, blare of
trumpet or stirring call to arms marred
two hours quietude at -the peace meeting
yesterday afternoon at the Marquam Tre
atcr. But no sooner had a set of reso
lutions been read commending President
Roosevelt and Secretary John Hay "for
endeavoring to negotiate arbitration
treaties with a number of European na
tions" than about 15 people, 3me of them
Democrats and led by M. S. O'Shea,
started a demonstration against the pass
age of the' resolutions. They termed It
"an indorsement of Secretary Hays pro
British policy."
Then a vocal row reigned. Dr. J. R.
Wilson, of the Portland Academy, was
accused of presiding over "a packed meet
ing organleed by a cheap British cle
ment." and his ruling was questioned
but sustained.
"Reprobate England," "Pass no treaty
except with France." "To h 1 with the
newspapers," "Who got up this meet
ing and who pays the rent of the the
ater?" were sample cries of the disgrunt
led element. The discrepancy was that
although the protestors howled against
the name of Great Britain, the only reso
lution read did not mention that coun
try's name. About 1000 people, men and
women, comprised the entire audience,
and after a wrangle the anti-British ele
ment was outvoted by over 00 per cent of
votes cast.
Here Is the resolution, read by Dr.
Stephen S. Wise, of the Temple Beth Is
rael, and ultimately passed:
This mass meetings of the citizens or Port
land. Or., January 1. 1005, wishes to place on
rcord Its approval of the efforts made In our
own country and In other lands on behalf of
the arbitration of national differences and dis
pute, through reference to an International
tribunal. We are not believers In "peace at
any price." but we do believe In peace with
honor, and we hold that many. If not all, inter
national differences can be amicably adjusted
and honorably arbitrated. We wish to com
mend the action of the President and the
Secretary of State In bringing about a second
assembly of the representatives of the nations,
comprising the International Tribuifal of The
Hague, which court of arbitration has already
been instrumental In the settlement of several
International differences. We wish heartily
to commend the President and the Scrctary of
States for endeavoring to negotlato arbitration
treaties with a number of European nation;.
the adoption of which is calculated to lessen
the likelihood of war. and by o much to In
sure .the hone of International peace. This
mass meeting of the citizens of Portland, Or..
earnestly requests the representatives of Ore
gon In the Senate of the United States to
exert their influence onjohalf of the adoption
of such arbitration treaties as may be sub
mitted to the Senate of the United States by
he President.
Notable Speakers Present.
The list of speakers Included: Dr. J. R.
"Wilson, chairman: Rev. Father Black,
who represented Archbishop Christie: Dr.
E. P. Hill, of the First Prcsbytorian
Church; Dr. T. L. Eliot, pastor emeritus
of the First Unitarian Church: President
Jordan, of Stanford University: Mrs. Abl.
sail Scott Duniway; C. E. S. Wood, Dr.
S. S. "Wise. M. S. O'Shea. and others who
arose in the meeting and did not give
their names. On the platform, also, were
"William M. Ladd and Richard W. Mon
tague. It was expected that Governor
t naxnocriain wouia do present as prcsiu-
lng officer, but he sent this excuse:
As I feared when invited to rreslde at th
peace meeting this afternoon, I cannot be
present. Express my regrets to thosn In at
tendance. The occasion and Its purporc meet
my hearty commendation and approval. God"
speed the day when International disputes Khali
be settled by arbitration, rather than by arms
Archbishop Christie also wrote his .re
grets. Lesson From Christ's Life.
"The subject that has brought different
people from various walks of life to be
present on this platform is one upon
which we can be united." said Father
Black. "He who Is onr mxamplar brought
with him the message of peace, and of
whom was sung at his birth. 'Glory to
God in the highest and peace, on earth,
to men of good will. Let us hope that
this blessing of peace shall come to all
people."
"This matter of peace is a bewildering
parodox." began Dr. E. P. Hill, in his
turn. "On Monday, the President of the
United States insists that we build
Navy strong enough to defy the world,
and 'Tuesday he sends out Invitations to
the great powers of the world to come
together In a peace conference. The Czar
of Russia calls together the nations to
confer regarding plans to lift the bnr
dens of war. but hardly have the com
missioners reached their homes than tho
Czar sends off his soldiers to engage in
on'" of the greatest wars of modern times.
Ruskln was more at home in tho auiet
of his library than the tumult of the
battlefield. Yet he speaks of peace and
corruption, and peace and death. To
morrow morning, if nows came over the
wires that there was another Boxer out
break in China, the men on this platform
might be tho very first to .go. When
think of the rcont revelations In this
community of lawlessness and corruption.
1 wonder if wc should not constitute our
selves as a vigilance committee to bring
those who have disgraced the fair name
of our state to the judgement bar.
xne relations Dciwecn nations are
somewhat "similar to those between men.
Yet we might make ourselves a walking
arsenal, like Great Britain and the Trans
vaal. where the stronger of two nations
threw down terms of peace and said
There are our terms, Taecauso our guns
are heavier than yours. Or I might get
afraid of you r.nd you afraid of me. like
those frenzied captains of finance. Law
son and Greene Or we might say, We
are friends and brothers, and clasp
bands, singing 'Blest be the. tie that binds
our hearts in Christian love. Peace is a
vision that has not yet been realized,
&nd war Is yet a possibility. Therefore
If wc should magnify the influence of the
spirit, we would help the work of peace
in the name of him who is the Prince of
Peace Let us look forward to the bol
ter day when the world shall know the
fatherhood of God and the brotherhood
of man."
"None of us are .believers in peace at
any price, yet there Is no place where
one should "Toe happier to .sttuid on SJewr
Tear's day than on a peace platform,
saia or. T. L. EUot. "Peace at any price
is ignoble, but .war that could be averted
hy amicable settlement .would be a ter
rible evil, and would hurl us back to
barbarism. Yet the -war spirit jumps to
the front. The Jingo men who urge war
are like the men in the street disturb
ance who urge two men to fight all the.
harder, and arc the swiftest in running
away when the police come. Arbitration
Is coming on the Scene in a significant
time in the history -of the world. Na
tions are being brought to the highest
known civilization, making the peoples of
the world one. Capital and labor are
potent forces 'that are uniting io make
the world neacefuL The Interests of the
capitalist and laborer are now for the
world's peace. Arbitration is like the
story of two'chlldren who quarreled over
a plateful of apples, and alter one child
had taken an apple her sister said:
'why. that Is the. very apple I wanted
to take.' Just then the elder sister came
in, and with her gentle voice suggested
that the apple be divided. The three
played a game in which the apple was
pared, and she taught the youp
children how to throw the apple skin
ver their shoulders to make letters.-. In
a few moments, the little party was
happy again. This elder sister Is arbi
tration. Suppose they - had really quar
reled about the apple, which, after all,
might have been an apple with a rotten
core, one not worth having after all?
Let us be optimists about war. It was
only recently that a war would have
broken out but for the great navy of.
Great Britain. Armaments of war are
the best guarantors of peace. Let us
look on arbitration as a simple human
Instrument. Social, spiritual and civil
(forces are coming to the front, and we
are standing back of our President, our
Congress and the instrumental forces oi
diplomacy that our nation shall be known
as the greatest maker of history as a
peacemaker."
President Jordan's Views.
President Jordan, of Stanford Univer
sity, gave the historical- speech of the
meeting, and lashed warmakers with
scathing sarcasm. "If we can but lessen
the number of fruitless wars, we shall
have accomplished a great work," he
said. "Think of the influence of war upon
the lives of men. Yet we do not expect
that arbitration will put an end to war.
Far from It Nor do we expect that the
building of churches will put an end to
evil, or that the development of courts
of law shall put an end to personal vio
lence. We remember what happened
when the tribunal decided the question of
damages sustained by Samoa. Both the
United States and Great Britain had to
pay their share of the loss sustained.
There is no great justice at the end of a
war. however great that war is. The set
tlement of the boundaries between Can
ada and Alaska was settled on Its mer
itsor what is called 'splitting the differ
ence' Just as soon as the courts of
America recognize themselves to be
trong, they will be just.
The blood of a nation determines Its his
tory, and the history of a nation deter
mines Its blood, lou can study a nation
Just the same as you would study a hord
of cattle.. It has been said that If you
take the blood of an honest man and
place It In the veins of a politician, you
might make an honest man of him.
(Laughter.) Anglo-Saxons make Anglo-
Saxon history, and Japanese make Jap
anese history. (Applause.) The blood of
grafters Is making Russian history, as It
goes rushing wilong.
For Instance, I have hoard It argued
that barrooms exist for the purpose of
destroying people of weak wills, so that
strong wills may be left In their place.
Always the men who arc left determine
their nation's history. Each child Is what
his father and mother ought to have
been. In a herd of cattle, If you take
out all the short-horned, you will have
In time the long-horned. Handsome cat
tlo, chosen again and again, will make
the whole herd handsome. Selective
breeding Is called the magician's wand
In making any plant or animal Just what
he wants."
The speaker concluded by drawing In
tcresting parallels between English and
American war history, always speculat
ing oh the benefit to the nation of her
young men, had not the bravest and
strongest of them been killed or maimed
in battle. "It is in peace that heroism
is made, he said.
Mrs. Abigail Scott Duniway made a
strong arbitration speech, and spoke of
war from a mother s standpoint "If the
last speaker had continued his analysis
he would undoubtedly have reached the
feminine question of heredity," 'she stat
ed. "Let me remind him that the female
cattle carried oft the premium at the St
Louis Exposition," she went on, and
there was loud laughter. "We are of
one blood and one kindred and wc can't
afford to question the wisdom of the
Creator. I don't think that war Is an
unmixed evil. Yet I recall the act of one
woman who, at the close of our Civil
"W-ar. when It seems that we were on
the verge of war with Great Britain, it
was Queen Victoria who forced her Mln
lstcrs to submit the question at issue to
the Geneva convention. An agreement
was reached and war was averted by
honorahle arbitration. How arc we going
to stop the reign of corruption In high
places? Begin in the home. I look for
ward to the day when men shall allow
women to take equal pliyrc with them In
working for the worlds happiness.
Quotes General Sherman.
Like an eminent American commander,
C. E. S.- Wood said his army experience
was that "war h? h 1." In giving argu
ments favoring arbitration as a means-
of settling disputes between nations. Mr.
Wood roud copious extracts from Edro
pcan authorities, and protested against
the decisions of newspaper editors that
People who not want war arc "dream
ers." He Instanced the lives of Christ
Homer, Buddah. Watt, Stephenson, and
others who were in their generation called
dreamers. "What ,if we are called
cranics, visionaries ana orcamersr" Mr.
Wood speculated. He argued against the
usefulness of Tesults achieved by our
Civil War and our war with Spain, which
led to the retention of the Philippines!.
Dr. S. S. Wise made a thoughtful speech
in which he contrasted the blessings of
peace as opposed to the horrors of war.
and spoke of arbitration from a patriotic
standpoint He took the ground that this
country J? mlghtA- enough to presrvc the
world' peVce, fnd thought that the
United States ,will never advance at the
expense of crushing another nation. Then
he read the resolution, and a man in the
audience suggested that the "other side"
he heard.
Pot Begins to Boil.
"There is no other side. This is a peace
meeting;" was heard from different parts
of the house. Then M. S. O Shea began
to attack the motives of Secretary of
State Hay in arranging for the settlement
of aribtratlon treaties with foreign coun
tries, particularly with Great Britain.
"Mr. Hay Is vulnerable." the speaker
went on. "This is a packed meeting. It
is packed by Britisher."
"Throw him out" suggested a voice,
and there was wild applause.
Someone seconded the passage of the
revolution read by Dr. Wise, and another
"hubub" began.
"I move the previous question," ob
served w. H. Gaivanl.
"All we have heard here is about An
glo-Saxon. and the golden, rule." pro
tested Mr. O Shea. Nobody knows what
this Anglo-Saxon treaty means. Secre
tary Hay Is too fond of his dear old
England'
"Platform!" was yelled, and Mr.
O'Shea. nothing loth, took the platform.
"I did not come here prepared to say
anything, he uttered, "but Secretary
Hay and his British friends'
"That platform Is not the place to abuse
any public man, especially Secretary
Hay." Interrupted W. H. GalvcnL
. "Sit down. You're from Europe." ob
served a Democrat By this time Mr.
O'Shea took a bulks manuscript from, one
of his pockets and read most of it Here

history of the sale of Conferedate bonds.
Then pandemonium broke loose and T.
B. McDevitt appealed to" the chair for
recognition, asserting his . right as an
American to make himself heard.- He
spoke In favor of allowing Mr, O'Shea to
finish his speech, and this was done. AnJ
oiner man wanted to Know who was go
ing to pay for the rent of the theater.
Quiet Enventually Restored..
"We haven't taken up a collection yet.
"Would you and your friends like to con
tribute?" asked Dr. Wise, and the man
said, "No." Somebody else howled for
a copy of the proposed .treaty between
this country and Great Britain, but no
body had the all-Important document In
his vest pockets. "Never mind.", ob
served, the chairman soothingly, "the text
of the treaty has already been published
In the newspapers.' It was then that a
man &t the back of the house made a
sulphurous remark about the newspa
pers. Ultimately a vote was taken on the
original resolution and 30 people, Mr.
O'Shea says 52, voted against its passage,
but the large majority present voted
"Yes." Some few did not vote at all.

Sought Witness, of Tragedy;

"Sew York, it now develops that Algernon
C. Meyer was In ew lork at the time
and saw the shooting, and that be has
given his testimony to District Attorney
Jerome.
Soon after the shooting it was reported
that Algernon Meyer witnessed the af
fair, and at the time an attempt was
made to confirm the story. It could not
be done In New York because Meyer bad
left that city. It could not be confirmed
in Jacksonville, for the reason that Mey
er's whereabouts were ndt known to his
mother, who lives here, while Meyer had
been living in Deland, Fla.
The story was dropped without further
investigation until the story of VT. B.
Meyers' alleged connection with the case
developed a few days ago. It was then
that the Associated Press correspondent
ascertained the whereabouts of Algernon
Meyer and asked him direct concerning
the matter. The following reply was" re
ceived:
"I was in New York, witnessed the
shooting, testified before Jerome, my tes
timony being about the same ss Nan Pat

Martin Hazelton says was standing be
side him when he saw Caesar Young
shoot himself. The counsel for Nan Pat

important witness for the defense.
Counsel for Nan Patterson.
PHILADELPHIA. Jan. L When Nan
Patterson, the chorus girl, is arraigned
for trial In New. York for the third time
on a charge of killing Caesar Young, the
bookmaker, she probably will be repre

of this city. The accused chorus girl's
father visited Philadelphia Saturday with
a letter of introduction to Mr. Steven
son. While no definite arrangements
were made or any contract entered into,
it is undcrstpod that Mr. Stevenson will
appear as leading counsel for Miss Pat

RVIHE HAS BAD DAY
Deposed Rector Pays Unsuc
cessful. Visit to Huntingdon,
FACED WITH A TELEGRAM
Episcopal Minister Had Denied Send
ing It, and Its Appearance Causes
' Him toSeik a New-Place
of Entertainment.
HUNTINGDON, Pa., Jan. 1. The Rev.
I. N. V. Irvine, the deposed pastor of
St John's Episcopal Church, who ar
rived here from Philadelphia last night
and immediately sought seclusion in the
home .of Vestryman "W. F. Hilller. one of
the men whose names appear on the pre
sentment against Bishop Talbot, left for
the East at noon today.
Dr. Irvine looked careworn and hag
gard. During his short visit he main
tained an uninterrupted silence to all
newspaper Interviewers.
At the station a reporter for the Asso
ciated Press was cordially greeted by Dr.
Irvine, but the clergyman would give no
information concerning the purpose of
the visit "Vestryman Hilller was like
wise silent Dr.; Irvine's unexpected de
parture today is .viewed here as inex
plicable by his - friends and opponents.
He communicated with none of his for
mer vestrymen or parishioners and de
nied himself to all friends.
It is generally believed that tho brief
ness of his visit was due to his failure to
influence the vestrymen who have repu
diated their signatures on the present
ment to permit their names to remain
on that paper.
It Is understood that an effort was
made by Dr. Irvine to communicate with
John Langdon, one of the men who re
pudiated the presentment but when
asked today whether' he had seen Dr.
Irvine, Mr, Langdon said:
"No, and I don't want to. He knows
better than to come to my house. I am
deeply grieved at the publicity my name
has been given m the matter, and would
gladly -escape any further annoyance. It
seems that Irvine's sole purpose is to
destroy the tranquillity of our parish."
It Is now definitely known that ves
tryman W. G. Miller did receive a tele-
gran), with Dr. Irvine's name signed to
It, asking him to keep quiet, and that
a letter explaining the misrepresentation
would follow. Dr. Irvine's .chief coun
selor, Herbert Greene, denies that such
an agreement was sent by the deposed
minister. After the receipt of this tele
gram. Vestryman Miller, who secured
the signatures to the presentment has
refused to speak further on the subject
Ih expectation of Dr. mine s appear
ance at St John's Church, a larger
crowa was attracted tnan tne iittia
church could accommodate. The rector.
Dr. Johnson, made no reference . to the
present controversy, which had its origin
In the parish under Dr. Irvine's rector
ship.
Mrs. Emma D. Elliott, whose name has
been conspicuously used In the case, and
who was denied communion-by Irvine,
attended the services today.
After Dr. Irvine's departure some of the
details of bis visit became known. It was
learned that Dr. Irvine and Mr. Hilller
had some differences over the telegram
received by Miller and that Dr. Irvine
left the Hilller house and spent the night
at the home of Mr. Miller.
After Dr. Irvine's arrival last night Mr.
Hilller called at the home of James Denl-
thorne and informed him that Drl Irvine
would like to sec him. Mr. Langdon was
present Mr. Denithornc replied that if
Dr. .Irvine wanted to see him he knew
where to find him. Dr. Irvine, he said.
certainly owed him an explanation, but
he did not propose to hunt him up.
During the conversation tho matter of
the telegram was mentioned by Mr. Denl
thorne and Mr. Hilller said that Dr. Ir
vine had Informed him that he had not
sent such a message. Mr. Denithorne pro
duced the original telegram received by
iir. Miller, which surprised Mr. Hilller.
The latter then returned home and had
a warm Interview with Dr. Irvine, the
outcome of which was that the clergyman
went to the home of Mr. Miller.
CHARGES MAY FALL THROUGH
Withdrawal of Names by Presentors
Foreshadows Collapse of Case.
PHILADELPHIA. Jan. 1. The North
American will say tomorrow:
The complete collapse of Dr. Irvine's
attempted presentment against Bishop
Talbot Is foreshadowed in an admission
made last night (Sunday), by Dr. Bodine.
Dr. Bodine said that after he has con
ferred with the other members of the
board of Inquiry he may within the next
day or two have an Important statement
to Issue touching the case.
It Is understood the Huntingdon vestry
men who declare they have not signed a
presentment are preparing in writing a
formal repudiation of their desire to ap
pear as presentors against the bishop.
This, It states, will he sent to Dr. Bo
dine and that he has reasons to know
that the repudiation will soon be forth
coming.
Authorities on canonical law declare
that if those repudiations are filed with
Dr. Bodine the presentment will bo un
canonical and that It will fall of Its own

Then there's no use trying. It's too late! Noth
