10 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1905. AS TEXT Preachers Give Views of Land Cases. INDICTMENTS HAVE MORAL Say Justice Should Be Meted Out to Offenders. TO CLEAR OREGON'S NAME Rev. W. E. Randall and Rev. E. Nel son Allen Glye Views on Land Frauds Investigations in Their Sermbns. The climax of the investigations in the land frauds in Oregon .was . the theme taken by several pastors of Portland's churches yesterday. As the speakers referred to the men -whose names have been connected with the frauds, evidence of irreat interest spread throughout the congregations. listeners suddenly sat upright or leaned forward, to follow more closely the ministers remarKs. The burden of the romarks of Rev. E. Xelson Allen, of First Cumberland rPresbvterian Church, was that justice be meted out to the perpetrators of the frauds, and the fair name of the state cleared. Judee A. F. Scars, of the State Cir cuit rvnirt. was the sneaker at the First Unitarian Cnurch last night and, from the milnlt. he denounced those that have been connected with civic impurity in this state. Oregon's humiliation before the Na tion as a result of land frauds was the salient point of Rev. William B. Ran Viall'ft address to the congregation of Central Baptist Church last night. He referred to the charges that have been made during tJic last few weeks atrainst the state's highest officials and upokc of the charges as being one of lhe "Great Issues of tne unurcn, wnicn was tho subject of his sermon. Jn introducing the theme which was fnmmftst in his sermon. Mr. Randall sTild: t "Unon this anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln, when our eyes lift to that tall, majestic man. citizen, offi cial, statesman; when our hearts thrill -tvith the memory of his rugged honesty. unflinching fidelity and sterling integ rity, Oregon's present humiliation rises like a black storm to mar the picture. 'VTp. have reached trying times. Four RpDresentatives in the council halts of thn Nation: three of them charged with criminal acts. A man honored for many Yi-nrs tottcrins: down to his political grave under a burden of charges! A Samson in nrestice. pulling down the temple of honor and burying in the wreck w friends! Men nuttinc palsying nanas upon the administration of justice! Compares With Early Ages. ."Read 'Quo "Vadis?' again. Observe how the virus of" greed, graft, oppreslon, dis honor, instilled into every cranny of so clal life. Note the contamination in every department .of life pleasure, business, nublic office, literature. Strike out the date, and write 1905. Strike out Rome, and write the word that has graced the noefs sons: and historian's story Oregon. There is too much likeness; too little con trast. "Has it come to pass that criminals may cftnsplrc to stain the name of a pub lic prosecutor; that crooks may corrupt officials; that local authorities remain passive in the presence of a carnival of crime? "What are the 'great issues'? The mak ing of fair, free, full-orbed men. The se curing of conditions that contribute to this result. The church that demonstrates its right to exist will be intelligent and active in these days of peril. It will not play with little undertakings, but will invest Itself in the things that are great by the verdict of the ages and the under score of God. "The relation of the churches to the problems, perils and possibilities of hu manity is pertinent inquiry- Does the ordinary church make adequate contrlbu tion to the welfare of mankind? Does it deal in a practical manner with things fundamental? Arc the surface emotions of men played with, only to subside, or are deep, lasting convictions cultured? Are currents of power put Into the net work of social and industrial wires that extend to every organization, home and heart?" v , WISHES LAW TO HAVE COURSE Rev. E. Nelson Allen Says Safety of Country Demands It. "It Is to be seriously regretted that sa many of our prominent citizens and states: and National officers have become in volved in the land fraud conspiracies," Bald Rev. E. Nelson Allen, pastor of First Cumberland Presbyterian Church, iri. an impassioned appeal for reform last even ing. "The exposure of these gigantic frauds, and the high officials whose names have been drawn into the mire brings to our state an unenviable reputation. It is to be hoped that, upon investigation, many of these charges may be found groundless. The honor of our state, however, and the future integrity of our Government, de mand that the men guilty of crime shall be prosecuted without fear or favor, whether they be of high or low estate. With fairness to all.' let justice be done." An explanation of the fight that has been carried on in Salem in favor of the local option law was made by Mr. Allen. Hetold of the efforts to prevent Its re peal. At the evening service a double quartet rendered an excellent musical programme. Professor Z. M. Parvin, of Salem, was the accompanist. CIVIC IMPURITY RAMPANT. Judge Alfred F. Sears Says Robbers Wish to Plunder State. Judge A. F. Sears lectured last night before the William G. Eliot Fraternity at the First Unitarian Church. In his opening remarks Judge Sears referred to the deep sense of humility felt by tne people because of the astound ing revelations of civic impurity today existent. ."This debasement," he said, "is- not confined to our own state nor even to public officials. It has been demonstrated that it permeates the people of tho com monwealth which was founded at Plym outh Rock by those who sought to form a state, the corner-stone of which was religious as well as civic liberty, and who fled from persecutions against Puritans. "When not long since a rapacious gang wished to lay sonea ana violent hands upon tho purity of the ermine in this state, the people- barrlcadca the way: when the same "band, held together by the FRAUDS cohesive force of plunder, wished to per petuate the Iniquity of public gaming, a man arose, himself an official, who, equal to the occasion and sustained by the people, eliminated this, one of the great est of infamies." HONOR A BROTHER CHRISTIAN Henry R. Long Eulogized by His Fel low Church Members. At the First Christian Church yesterday morning. Rev. G. K. Berry; editor of the Pacific Christian, delivered an impressive sermon upon the duties of church officers. Following the sermon, the service of or dination of one elder and 11 deacons was performed and the following resolutions adopted: 'Whereas, it has pleased our Heavenly Father to remove from our midst our. dear brother, Henry R. Long. 'Resolved, That we cherish .his sacred memory, his years of devotion xo tne cause of righteousness, his various serv ices in the church and upon Its board of officers, and his gentleness at all times. "Resolved. That we tenderly condole with the widow of our deceased brother In her hour of affliction and affectionately commend her to the keeping of Him who looks with pitying eye upon those who are bereft. "Resolved. That these resolutions be placed upon our permanent records; that a copy be sent to the widow of our de ceased brother; also that copies be sent to our city capers and our church papers as a token of our esteem and veneration of a good man gone to his rest.

Atkinson Gives Last Ser mon on Would-Be Disciples. Yosterday was made memorable at the Epworth M. E. Church, on Twenty-third and Irving streets. In the morning live new members were received Into tho fel lowship of this church, and last night Rev. Henry T. Atkinson, the pastor, closed the interesting series of sermons whidh ho has been preaching on "Three Would-Be Disciples." Tho sermon last night was from Luke ix: 61, and was on "The Wavering Disciple." He said:. This man had listened to the words of Christ In which the other disciples were taucht. first, that there was a cross to bear by all who would follow Christ, and. second, that no interest was great enough to overshadow tho Kingdom of God. Tne wavering disciple's plea, however, was apparently based upon ties or anectlon. Christ's reply to him taught him that in decision to perform a righteous action. while the opportunity to do so Is slipping away, is sin. "History reveals the fact that all who have been famed for greatness have been men of purpose. When Abraham Lincoln was signing the emancipation proclamation, he laid the pen down twice. and explained that, having been shaking hands all day, his hand trembled; then. taking his pen for the third time, he wrote his name in a firm hand, saying to Secretary Seward: 'There, I think that will do. No man who ever sees that signature will ever say 'he hesitated.' " EVANGELISTIC MEETINGS END Dr. Brougher Preaches Last of Spe cial Sermons at White Temple. Last night was the closing scrvico of the evangelistic meeting at the White Temple, in which Dr. Brougher, the pas tor, has been assisted by the Ollphant Sisters. A large number of men and women were baptized. Tho singing of the Ollphant Sisters was exceptionally fine, and the sermon by Dr. Brougbor on "Climbing the Golden Stairs" was a char- atceristic one, and made a dep impres sion. Among other things, he said: "The approach to Heaven has often been presented in the form of golden stairs. Most people want to get to Heaven when they die. But I am con vinced It they do not get there before they die, that their chance of getting there after death is very slim. The Chris tian ought to be preparing his way to Heaven right now. There are two things that constitute the chief part of Heaven the presenco of Jesus Christ and the ab sence of sin. The presence of sin -and the absence of Jesus Christ make hclL" In Dr. House's Pulpit. Owing to the continued illness of Rev. E. L. House, pastor of the First Congre gational Church, Rev. S. M. Freeland, of Seattle, occupied the pulpit yesterday morning and evening. Ho took for his subject "Entering Into Life." His text was, "It is good for these to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the hell of fire." Song Service at Mizpah Church. At the Mizpah Presbyterian Church, Pow ell and East Thirteenth streets, last night, the song service took the place of the reg- ular sermon. Mrs. J. M. C.

JO DISCUSS EIGLEE'S SALARY School Board Will Probably Consider Matter at Tonight's Meeting. There may be new developments at the meeting of the School Board tonight con cerning the method pursued In voting the increase of $150 to the salary of Super intendent Rigler, but it is doubtful if anything definite will be done beyond dis cussion, as Herman Wittenberg, one of' the members of tho School Board, is at present absent in California on business and is not expected home for- a week. A rumor was current yesterday ihat Henry S. Allen, clerk of the School Board, will not sign the minutes of .the meeting at the eventful session; which gave Mr. Rigler his advance in salary, on the ground that he. Mr. Allen, was not pres ent But It is believed by those who vot ed for the salary increase that they have j the right, under the law, to appoint a deputy clerk, should occasion warrant this being done. All the directors of the School Board who could be communicated with last night declined to discuss the matter In dispute. "A groat deal of fuss has been made about nothing," declared one of the of ficials of the School Board, who would not permit tho use of his name. "The board is not in tho habit of holding so-called 'star-chamber sessions,' and on the oc casion whqn It was voted to advance Mr. RIglcr's salary by 51000, Mr. Allen, tho regular clerk, was busily engaged in pay ing salaries In another room, and we asked Mr. Rigler to act as temporary clerk." "But is tho action advancing- Mr. Rig ler's salary legal, seeing that the regular clerk. Mr. Allen, was not actually pres ent?" was asked. "The members of tho board have noth ing to fear in tho way of criticism In- this regard," was the reply. "Two of them are lawyers, and no action was taken con trary to law. Surely tho board has a right to appoint adcputy clerk. If it should so choose. Mr. Rigler was of fered another position elsewhere at $6000 per year, and he would- undoubtedly have left Portland had he not been given the -advance. His salary is lower than that paid to school superintendents In Eastern cities, and also In Seattle and Los An geles. What will take place at Monday night's meeting? Routine business, so far as I know. We don't desire to pass any Important measure in the absence of Mr. Wittenberg." MANY HEAR SALVATIONISTS.

The visit to the home of the sister In San Francisco was made, but when they started to return home, the man known as Joe told the child that high winds pre vented tho boat from running and they would hare to take the train.

One of the hundreds of patrons at the Columbia Theater, as he passed out of the theater lobby after the afternoon per formance of "Quo VadiB?" yesterday, re marked feelingly: "This skins any road show T ever saw, a thousand miles," So" it does. AT THE VAUDEVILLE THEATERS Mile. Ziska at -the Star. The world's greatest transformation and mirror dancer, in her $1000 spectac ular novelty act. Mile. Ziska, will be the lodestar that will attract thousands to the Star Theater this week. She carries carloads of special scenery, and the stage settings of the act are dazzling.

"Rio Grande" at the Lyric. Commencing this afternoon the Lyric Stock Company will present the thrillin military melodrama of frontier life en titled "Rio Grande." The action of the play takes place In New Mexico at the time of the great Apache outbreak of lsso. when Geronimo, the last of the great war chiefs, was defeated by General Nelson A Miles.

Don't miss the open ing this afternoon. Grand's New Bill Today. There will be an entirely new set of faces today at the Grand Theater, with the exception of the Danny Mann Com pany. This company was retained be cause of its great hit last week, but Mr- Mann, supported by Miss Haines, will put on an entirely different sketch. "Mrs. Grogan's Brthday." Anjong the other features will be the Sldonlas, in a comedy wire act: Hyde and Heath. In "A Load of Hay"; 'Wingate. the min strel king and trick bone soloist; Boyle and Lewis. In a new comedy sketch; Pal mer and Robinson. In "The Sorcerer and the Soubrettev'; Clem McGee. the clever crayon artist, who uses both hi3 hands and his feet; Alf Bonner, in an illustrated song. "Good-Bye, Little Girl: Good Bye." and the Grandlacope with two pictures, the "Auto Race Suicide" and the "Bee-Hive." "The Brazilian Widow." The bill at the Bijou this week is one which the popular stock organization of that favorite theater feels certain wm please Its audiences. It is a hilarious farce of English society life, and contains more solid laughs to the performance than any other bill which could be presented. As a special testimonial of its apprecia tion of the liberal patronage the house has received in the past the management will give away ?3 In gold at each perform ance this week. Between acts, of which there, are three, the Great Elliott will In troduce somethlnc entirely new to Port land In the way of Illustrated songs "Laugh and the wdrld laughs with you' Is an old and time-tried adage, but it was never so well demonstrated as It will be this week by the Bijou Stock Company In "The Brazilian Widow." Remember the first performance this afternoon. Baker's All-Star Bill. This week will be a brilliant ono at the Baker, for the management has decided to provei to the Portland public that a vaude ville show which in every respect Is as good as that presented by the famous San Francisco Orpheum can be given here for one-fifth the price of admission charged by the great California house. It is In the nature of taking a dare that Managers Keating &. Flood are undertak ing this week, for comparisons have been made between the local vaudevilles and those of the Keltli and Proctor and even the Orpheum, which are not altogether complimentary to Portland. In the spirit of local pride, more than anything else. they determined to show the doubters that no better show could be given on any stage In America than they could offer at .the Baker at the present price of admission. If you want to know the result, go to the Baker this afternoon or tonight. AID SOCIETY HOLDS MEETING Much Work Planned for Good of Ex position Visitors. The meeting of the Travelers' Aid Society at the rooms of the T. W. C. A last night resulted in completing the permanent organization, the by-law3 being adopted and the personnel of all committees being tleclded. The work; will be .under the direc tion of a central committee of 21 mem bers, comprising the officers of the society, one delegate from each of the co-operating organizations, the chair man of each of the standing commit tees and four members-at-large from the society. These four were chosen as follows: Dr. Mary Thompson, Mrs, James R. Wilson. Mrs. R. H. Tate, Mrs. Mllley R. Trumbull. Many of the leading organizations of the city are to be asked to co-oper ata with the society in its work, and it Is the intention to further this portion of the work by sending the speakers to outline the plan of work. As to active work along the Intended lines, every possible means will b used to extend aid and direction . to those requiring it during the coming Summer. Report of the assistance of officers in plain clothes at the depot was made and will probably be 'invoked when the work of the committees at the denot Is increased by Fair travel. A communication has been received from the National organization, which was very effective In St. Louis during the past Summer, promising all pos slble aid. Local committees on finance and printing are to begin work Imme dlately, and care will be exercised that all funds be applied directly to the most needful sources. It was decided that 'Soliciting funds will be unneces sary. as the publicity given by the large membership will doubtless serve to secure sufficient voluntary dona tlons. The cold weather doubtless accounted. for the light attendance, but at the next regular meeting, to be held March 8, sufficient attendance Is hoped for ,to THE PILLS THAT CURE STOMACH TROUBLE Miss May Srlggs, of 7 Alrno Place, Rochester, N.Y., says : "My stomach was In terrible shape.

None but workmen and those who are business-bent arc allowed to cross tho Bridge of Nations to tho Government building at the Fair grounds these days. This ruling has been recently made and is believed to have been caused by the recent labor troubles. There have been no strikes of late, but it is stated that strike agitators have been attempting to get among the men and delay the prog ress of work. The objection is not so much against the agitators as such as because they take the men from their work and much time is lost during a day by HtUo conferences being held. On some days timekeepers have reported that as much as 20 per cent of the working day has been lost In this manner. Drowned With, His Son. MARYSVILL.T3. Cal..
