THE MORNING OEEGONJAN, FRIDAY, JANUARY 6, 1905. FACE GiTY GOUNGIL Dr. Matthews Will Back Up His Charges of Graft." SERMON- STIRRED ALDERMEN Pastor of First Presbyterian Church Says He Will Substantiate "Before Committee What He Said in His Pulpit. SEATTLE, Wash.. Jan. 5. (Special.) Rev. M. A- Matthews, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, will face the City Council and answer the charges he made that the body was afflicted with graft Itis. The minister made grave charges against the Council in a sermon deliv ered here last Sunday. On the follow ing day the City Council adopted resolu tions calling attention to the public ac counts of his 'charges, and Inviting him to appear and substantiate them. In a statement given out today. Mr. Matthews declares that he Is ready to meet the Council, or . committee of that body, and to put before them the , evi dence he has. The minister was in east ern Washington when the Council de manded that he make good his charges, and when he returned this morning he had his first opportunity to answer. It was insisted, when Mr. Matthews was interviewed, that an evasive response would be Interpreted as a qualification of his charges. The pastor declared that when he appeared before the Council he would make good everything he had said in the pulpit. Dr. Matthews is one of the best-known preachers in the city, and his defiance of the Council has created a sensation. His declaration that he will prove his assertions has intensified the feeling of interest. Thus far the special Council committee named to meet him has not notified the minister of its eag erness to listen to him. LEGAL AID FOR SALMON. Seiners and Cannerymen Send Sep arate Recommendations. ASTORIA, Or., Jan. 5. (Special.) The Columbia River canners and the as sociation of .seiners and trappers have each prepared letters setting forth the changes desired In the fishing laws of the states of Oregon and Washington, and copies are being sent to each of the Legislative members from the counties bordering on the Iiower Columbia River. The glllnet fishermen are preparing a letter containing their views on the subject, which will also be sent to the Legislators. The letters sent by the trappers and seiners embody tho reso lutions passed at a recent meeting and which were published at the time. The cannerymen's recommendations differ slightly, reading in part as fol lows: "First That the fish laws as apply ing to the two states be uniform and thereby possible of enforcement with out conflict. "Second That the Fish Commission er, or Master Fish Warden, of either state, have Jurisdiction In enforcing the laws, to the opposite shore. "Third That confiscation of gear caught fishing illegally be made pos sible, or in lieu thereof that fines or penalties for illegal fishing bo made very high and severe. "'Fourth That all hatchery streams tributary to either the Columbia or "WlIIameYte Rivers be absolutely closed to" salnTon Ashing, except with rod and line. "Fifth That the Spring season for Halm on fishing open on .April 15. as at present, and close on August 25, pro viding, however, that the entire river ,be closed to fisning between May 22 and 3i, both inclusive, during the years 1905 and 1906, thereby providing a closed season of ten days during the middle of the season for the benefit of propagation of that run of fish. "Sixth That the authorities In both states be obliged to strictly enforce the closed seasons provided. "It was. suggested and agreed by those present that If agreeable to all of the canners and cold-storage men, each would furnish, during the closed seas on in May, one launch and crew, with out expense to the state, for patrol service in the enforcement of that closed time." Representatives of the Union Fish ermen's Co-Operative Packing Com pany, the Tallant-Grant Packing Com pany, the Sanborn-Cutting Company, the Columbia River lackers' Associa tion, the A. S. Booth Packing Company, S. Schmidt & Co. and Buckhelt & Co. attended the meeting. FINDS FATHER IS UNCLE. Ralph Coon Also Learns of Large In heritance Now Due Him. PENDLETON, Or.. Jan. 5. (Special.) From driving a delivery wagon to the possession of a fine Inheritance Is the sudden turn of fortune which has fallen to Ralph Coon, a young man of this city. A letter from a wealthy uncle in Wis consin, received this week, conveys the news of Coon's heritage, a fortune of several thousand dollars, of which he is to come into Immediate possession. The letter also contains other informa tion new to the young man. At the age of 3 weeks Coon was left an orphan. Ho was adopted by his uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. B. E. Coon, and brought up as their own child, being kept in Ignorance of his true parentage until a few days ago, when he became of age. The property of his parents was placed -in the hands' of relatives in Wisconsin, and during the past 21 years it has steadily In creased in value, so that now it is worth several thousand . dollars. The property will be legally signed over to Coon and held -for his disposition when he returns to Wisconsin on the condi tion that he will adopt his true name, Ralph Douglas. Surprised as was young Coon when he discovered that he had fallen heir to a fortune, he was more amazed upon learning that his parents had long since been dead and that Mr. and Mrs. Coon were uncle and aunt, not his father and mother. "It seems like a dream to me. I can hardly believe the contents of this let ter," said Coon. "Now that the truth has been established, I hardly know what to do. Ihave always believed Mr. and Mrs. Coon to be my parents; they have treated me as a son and kindly cared for me all these years. Now to discover that they are not my parents Is bitter indeed." As Mr. and Mrs. Coon are growing old, young Coon is planning to return to Wisconsin, convert his property into money, come back to Pendleton with his fortune and provide a cozy home for them. He asked if he might consult Ms counsel. Upon the. Judge's - granting -ihe very or- ; dlnary request, the preacher knelt in the ; courtroom and prayed. He asked that the blush of shame be brought to his ; persecutors. But the prayer had little effect upon the Judge, lor Rev. Mr. Pet tyjohn was fined 53. ftev. H. Bowman began a series of re vival services several weeks ago. Rev. Mr. Pettyjohn, a resident "member, thought the series closed too soon. The church door was locked, but a window was open, and Mr. Pettyjohn was able to lead the services again. UNITE TWO BOARDS. - School Laws May Be Materially Changed by Legislature. OLYMPIA, Wash., Jan. 5. (Special.) F. M, McCuIly, Deputy Superintendent of Public Instruction, who was named as a member -of the legislative committee by the recent meeting of the State Teachers' Association in Spokane, today gave an outline of the legislation it Is proposed the committee shall present to the Leg islature. "In Toy opinion." said Mr. McCully, "the omnibus bill offered to the educa tional committee of the Assembly and Senate will be neither very long nor very complex. The association's- plan of con solidating the Board of Higher Education and the -State Board of Education into one board, consisting of the presidents of the university and Agricultural College, principals of the normal schools, superin tendents of the three largest cities, and three County Superintendents to be se lected by the Go'ernor, will no doubt be hrought before the coming Legislature. "An effort will be made to secure longer terms for County Superintendents, for the reason that under present laws a super intendent is forced to retire from office Just at the period of bis greatest useful ness to the school interests of his county. "A distinct effort will be made to strengthen the compulsory education law, so as to compel children between the ages of 8 and 15 years to attend school for the entire term, instead of a limited number of months, as at present. "There will probably be an effort to se cure legislation toward an Increase' of teachers wages. A bill may be presented fixing a minimum salary, but that Is more or less a matter of speculation. "The association voted unanimously to ask the Legislature to provide additional help for the state office. Toward this end the legislative committee will advise that an additional "Deputy State Superin tendent be provided for. ' "There will probably be an effort made to raise the standard among teachers in the state, and as a step in this direction it is proposed to abolish the third-grade certificate. While this action might be a temporary embarrassment to some coun ties, it is generally believed that such a raising of the standard would ultimately work to the advantage of the teachers themselves, and I am inclined to think that the plan should be favored, provided the law does not become operative until the close of the present school year." CARTER MEN JOYFUL. Declare That He Will Be Montana's New United States Senator, HELENA. Mont., Jan. 5. (Special.) The Republican members of the Leglsla ture met tonight In caucus, but adjourned without making any nomination for Unit ed States Senator. There were 42 present out of the 53 Republican Legislators.

Dob bin, for Union and Wallowa Counties, passed through the city tonight, en route to Portland and Salem. They are on their way to attend the meeting of the Legis lature. On the question of the division of the Eighth Judicial District, in which Baker County will be in a district by itself, and Union and Wallowa Counties included In the other, Mr. Dobbin says he has not fully informed himself as to the necessity for the division. He favors a modification of the corporation tax law to make It fall more equitably -upon all classes of corpo rations. The question of an appropriation for the advancement of the fish hatchery at the head of Wallowa Lake will ba brought before tho Legislature. PREACHER PRAYS IN COURT.

FROM JULY TO SEPTEMBER Will Be In Very Finest Racing Sea son, "and Prospects Are for Fast Traclc Stakes Are to Be Worth Racing For. "San Francisco, Jan. 5. Sporting Edi tor The Oregonlan.) Portland gets racing dates beginning July 22 to September IS, inclusive; Seattle from May 27 to July 19. "A. R. DIAMOND." This means that Portland has 47 racing days and also the cream of the racing weather in the northwest, some time ago there was some talk, of having the 1S05 racing season open In June. If these dates should have been allotted to Port land, the Multnomah Fair Association would have been compelled to unload the horses here at a cost of at least 530.000. As it is, Seattle will have to stand this heavy expense because they open the rac ing season In the Northwest. In having racing during July, August and a part of September, fine weather is almost assured. These are the months that the weather god. J. Pluvius, pays only occasional visits to Oregon and when he does make his appearance, the mud larks will have their inning. As yet the stakebooks for the big events which the Multnomah Fair Association will give dur ing Its meet and the Lewis and Clark Fair have not been decided upon, but they have been under discussion and they will be purses that will be well worth while racing- for. The five weeks meet held during 1503 pleased horsemen and also the public .and this year a higher class of thoroughbreds will be found rac ing at Irvlngton. Owners Will Return Here. Every owner that started a horse at Irvlngton during the last meeting de clared that he would return. Every one of them had a chance to start their horses and they have- talked about the splendid treatment accorded them at Portland to owners that last year shipped East. An other thing that assures a better class of horses this year is the high rate of tariff that the railroads are asking from the horsemen. For reasons known only to the railroad people, there is a disposi tion on their part not to care to handle thoroughbreds on their trains. The Cali fornia Winter racing, however, brought many horsemen to the Coast, and they came to the Coast with the intention of staying, because they could find racing for their stables In the Northwest during the Summer months.

Roy Caseday Wins Out in Match at John Day. JOHN DAY, Or., Jan. 5. (Special.) Shotlng matches have been much in vogue here during and since the holiday season, and If the champion" shot Is de termined they must continue for soma time longer. Liberal purses have been put up by each of the three larger towns of the county, beginning with John Day. Here the merchants made up four purses of 550, 30. 515 and 55 for first, second, third and fourth prizes, respectively. The conditions were three shots at 75 yards offhand, or 100 yards with a rest, measure ments being made from the center of the target to the center of each of the three bullet holes. The one whose three meas urements produced the shortest string was declared the winner. The terms at the other two places were practically the same, telescope sights being barred. At John Day the winner was Roy Case day, of the Washington National Guard, of Ellensburg. whose "string" measured 2 1-16 Inches. At Prairie City. Henry FIsk won with a string of 3 inches. At Can yon City, Marshall Jones won first place with a 2 string. POWER OF WAVES. Their Enormous Momentum During a Heavy Gale. Scientific American. At the International Engineering Con gress, recently held In St. Louis, -some unusual figures were given on the sub ject of the height and power of ocean waves, particularly as regards their ef fect upon harbor works. In the course of a paper dealing with the new Dover harbor. It was stated that since these works have been in progress, no wave of a greater height than 15 feet has been recorded a fact which will be very sur prising to those who have experienced the miseries of the Dover-Calais passage. The fact Is the more remarkable because at the entrance to the Tyne, waves from 35 to 40 feet high have been measured, and the last-named height has also been observed at Peterhead. In dwelling upon the necessity for what are known as spendlng-beaches and wave traps, for dissipating and control ling wave action, it was stated that the depth to which the latter extends is now known to be much greater than was once commonly' supposed.' Proof of this Is shown by the fact thatlobster pots placed in from 120 to ISO feet of water have been found to be filled with sand and shingle after a heavy gale; moreover, sand had been found deposited after a heavy gale in the gallery of the Bishop Rock light house, the latter being 120 feet -above the water, and the depth of the water at that-J point laO feet. That the water, even at considerable depths, must be moving during a gale with great momentum Is shown by the fact that at the Peterhead breakwater blocks weighing 41 tons and located over 36 feet below spring tide low water, were displaced during a storm, while a section of the breakwater weighing 3300 tons was moved bodily for a few inches without the brickwork being dislocated.
