THE MORNING OREGONIAN. TUESDAY, MARCH 14, 1905. WILL IT FLEE Tarred Man and Feathered Will Remain. DR. GAWOOD PERSISTENT Is 'Determined to Remain in Goldendaie. WT. ONE OF HOLY ROLLERS Free Methodists Rally to the Support of the Evangelist and -Resent the Assault Which Was. Made Upon Him. E. E. Cawood, who was given a coat of tar and feathers and ordered to leave the town of Goldendaie, Wash., Sunday night was a resident of Portland for some years. He was a native of Marlon County, this state, where he was born 43 years ago. His father and mother, af ter crossing the plains from the East, died shortly after they reached their goal. Ho was reared and educated by friends of the family in Marlon County, and after he became of age came to Portland where he studied dentistry for some time. Later he went to Philadel phia to complete a course in the Dental College of that city. Upon his return to Portland he opened offices in the Mar- quam building, which he continued for about three years, before removing to the Hamilton building on Third street. About three years ago 3r. Cawood, during a series of revival services which were being held in different churches in this city, became very enthusiastic over religious matters in the Methodist Epis copal Church at Sunnyaide, and professed conversion to that faith, liater he with drew from the Methodist Episcopal Church and joined the Free Methodists. He went about the city testifying and preaching in various churches for some time and then became superintendent of the Olive Branch Mission on First street near Clay. Since that time he has as slsted in revival services in various churches throughout this state and "Wash ington and it was while so doing that he visited Goldendaie. Wife and Son Here. Cawood's wife and little son reside on Belmont street beween Thirty-third and Thirty-fourth streets, Sunnyslde. Mrs. Cawood is nearly prostrated over the reports received from Goldendaie. The husband has not communicated with her since the incident and she does not know what he 'will do. In an Interview yesterday afternoon she said: "My hus band is not a 'Holy Roller,' he is an evangelist of the Free Methodist Church, and as such Is under the elder of this district, Rev. W. N. Coffee. His work in the mission takes him about the state and I often go with him. A few days ago be was called to Goldendaie to preach and wo were told at the time that there was much need of a religious awakening there. My husband is an enthusiastic worker and I suppose the people who havo listened to his sermons have been deeply Influenced, but why a band of rowdies should tar and feather him be cause he sought to convert those that had gathered to bear him is more than I can understand." Rev. W. N. Coffee, presiding elder of the Portland and Salem districts of the Free Methodist Church, and president of the Olive Branch Mission, has this to say of Dr. Cawood: What District Elder Says. "It is but justice to Dr. Cawood and the general public for those who know him to speak at this time when it is sought in a cowardly and brufal way by those who would like to be consid ered respectable citizens to discourage free speech, and then to whitewash the whole affair over by attempting to make it appear that it is done to save the people from becoming demonstrative and going crazy. "Now, no one who knows Dr. Ca wood believes tnat he has done any thing unchristian or unmanly, or that he fans to undue excitement anyone who is able to attend meeting at all, and all talk about his being a Holy Roller is simply an attempt at Justifica tion of the disgraceful conduct of the rowdy element of Goldendaie and of which the respectable citizens of that little town are justly ashamed. "One trobule with the modern evangeli zation Is that in It all, hell Is covered up so deeply that sinners are not got into distress on account of 6ln and its eternal consequence. Only one side of a great truth is held up to view. While Heaven is pointed out as desirable, hell is not represented as a place to shun. Supports the Superintendent. Dr. Cawood sees all this and of course, his truths are as unwelcome as Xew Testament truths have always been In certain localities, and hence the af- lair at Goldendaie. "The doctor Is the respected and hon ored superintendent of the Olive Branch Mission of this city, which is operated oy a ooard of la directors, all of them conservative men. but desirous of doing good. They gave their hearty indorsq mont to Dr. Cawood's character and work, and feel that it Is due to the town of Goldendaie to purge Itself of the dis grace which attaches to its treatment of a reputable citizen of a sister city. it JDr. Cawood feels called to lay asme a lucrative practice and devote his me to the work of saving men from sin and receives a smaller compensation, that is ms business. Too many work the call Ins for 'revenue only." "Considered as a whole this treatment of Dr. Cawood discloses the real spirit oi inose wno oppose Ms teachings and classifies him with such men as Wcslev. uiLUiiuja huu oiacr eariy Aietnoaists who suffered persecution for the same thing and with Sumner, Garrison and Had dock, who exhibited the spirit of true reformers." Rev. W. Jf, Coffee declares that Dr. Cawood will not leave Goldendaie. It Is Ms belief that actIonvwilI be taken to pwilsh those who engaged in the tar and feather episode. J7ENT01TS CONDITION SERIOUS Wcll-Known Portland Athlete May Suffer Loss of Limb. The injury received by Kenneth Fenton, the Portland student at Stan ford University, is taking a serious turn. Plowden Stott, another Portland student at the university, telephoned to a friend in the city yesterdav af ternoon that a consultation of physi cians would be called last night, and that It would then be decided whether amputation of one limb would be nec essary. It is feared that the blood poisoning-will spread, and this operation may be absolutely InrMtarv e a nrn- Ventive measure. Repeated messages to Stanford last night received no" reply- Kenneth Fenton. son of W. D. Fen- ton, is one of the best-known young: amateur athletes of Portland. Ho played baseball and football with high honors at the Portland Academy. He has been playing third base on the Stanford 'varsity nine. A few days ago while eliding- for a base be scraped his leg:. and blood poisoning: set in. His parents are out of the city at present. DISCUSS ARC LIGHT QUESTION Members of the Executive Board Reach No Conclusion. As the result of the meeting: of the light committee of the Executive Board yesterday morning, it is probable that a new system of reporting arc lights out will be arranged between the Police De partment and the Portland General Elec tric Company. Mayor "William?, according to the senti ment expressed yesterday, is inclined to side with City Engineer Wanzer in In terpreting the contract by which the city DK. E. E. CAWOOD, WHO WAS GIVEN COAT OF TAR AND FEATHERS. is supplied with street lights. The City Engineer had refused to approve the Feb ruary bill of o9, declaring that the pen alty of 50 cents for each light out had not been deducted. H. W. Goode. president of the com pany, stated that the penalty clause had been Inserted in the five-year contract to prevent the company from turning off the current from the street light circuits at a time when power was scarce and supplying private customers who pay a higher rate. He suggested that the Police Department report to his company the In stant when a light was reported out by a patrolman. Dally records could then be kept in both offices. After a long discus sion the committee postponed the subject of the light bill for future decision. Increase in British Army Expenses. LONDON, March 13. The army esti mates for 1905-06 issued today total $143, 065,000. an increase of $4,915,000 over the last estimates. The increase Is due to the provision of $6,065,000 for the re-armament of the artillery. Otherwise there would be a decrease. The estimates pro vide for a total force, homo and colonial, and exclusive of India, of 22W00 men. The expenditure for the North American and West Indian stations is estimated at $3,125,510.

REFUSES TO WORK Rockpile Prisoner Says Guard Johnson Abuses Him. SENDS LETTER TO MANNING District Attorney Refers Matter to Judge George, Who Interviews Prisoner In County Jail Mat ter to Be Investigated. Oliver Harrington occupies a dungeon In the County Jail where he says he would rather be than work on the rockpile under Guard J. F. Johnson. Harrington says Johnson has a grudge against him and he is afraid he will kill him, and Johnson asserts that this Is all bosh, and that Harrington has refused to work and has interferred with the discipline of the rock-pile gang by encouraging them to revolt and disobey orders. Harrington was a race-track habitue, and last Summer he was arrested for stealing $10 from a young fellow named Briggs from Grant's Pass. In November Harrington was tried and convicted, and received a " six-months' sentence, and has since been employed breaking rock to be used on county roads. Declines to Work. Several days ago ha declined to work any longer and was placed in a dark cell as a means of bringing him to time. Harrington communicated by letter to District Attorney Manning, alleging that he had been badly used by Johnson, and threatened to make a complaint of a criminal nature against the guard. The District Attorney reported the matter to Judge George, presiding Judge of the State Circuit Court, and Judge George talked the case over with Judge Sears, who sentenced Harrington. Judge George TAKES OREGON HAY TO THE ORIENT next proceeded to the County Jail and in terviewed the man. Harrington informed the Judge that Johnson, the guard, had for some reason taken a dislike to him and took every opportunity to abuse him. He said John, son had struck him repeatedly and he was afraid of him. He produced a list of names of several other prisoners whom he said would vouch for his statement. He made no complaint of the two other guards, Briggs and Hoffman. Harrington said he did not know why Johnson dis liked him; he had not declined to work, and was perfectly willing to work now. Johnson is employed by the County Commissioner's Court and Sheriff Word, and while he has control of prisoners In the County Jail, has no jurisdiction over Johnson or the other guards. Judge George says he will probably refer the caso to County Judge Webster. Johnson Denies Abuse. "There is no truth whatever, is Har rington's statement," said Mr. Johnson last evening. "The trouble is he don't want to work and has been an obstruc tionist all along. He has Interfered with the discipline and told other prisoners things that make it difficult for me to manage them. They have to work, that is all there Is to It and you have to be strict with them, but as far as the charge that I am brutal to them or struck or beat him, that is all nonsense. I have not punished a prisoner In six months. I treated Harrington welL When he first came to work I was easy with him and told him I would give him five or six days to get hardened up and get used to it. and the answer he gave was: 'I am not doing much now and may do worse. He wants to stand around and loaf, but he has to work just like the rest of them." CROWDS COMING TO OREGON Colonists' Rates Causes Influx People From Eastern States. of H. S. Rowe, district oassenger agent for the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway, states that from the few days traffic into the Northwest under the pres ent cololnsts rates, he believes there will be a greater number of settlers during 1905 than during any previous five years out of the 25 which he has spent on the "Our low rates only went into effect on the first of the month," says iir. nowe, ,"but the traffic lias been very unusual. And from present Indications it will con iinnn !) lonsr as the rates last, till May 15. Those who have just come through V.-... Vwsn onrnlno ln(n mm nfflPA VlPTft for thev last few days, giving us the names of half a dozen families, to whom they wish us to send reading matter about thi enuntrv. Thev are all very en- VmclnnMi "The reason why there will be such an unusual flow of people this way Is that all the Middle West railroads have been advertising the Fair extensively, call ing the Northwest to the attention of the nponlft a never before. The younger gen eration is reeling crowded anu is anxious to take up any new move that looks good. So they are coming into the Northwest by the tralnload." CROSSED WIRES WORKS HAVOC Big Fire Gong Hits and Portland Hotel Box Blows Out. An electric wire dropped across another that bears tire alarm signals somewhere out in North Portland last night, and at intervals for the next five minutes there were half a dozen strokes of the big flro cons. In half a dozen places, meanwhile. there was excitement. Prominent among theso was the lobby of the Portland Hotel. There the wire had a load of "Juice" such as it had never borne before, and It shot, the stuff through in a hurry to get rid of it. Consequently, when It hit the end of the line it went into the iron box and blew out the fuse and made racket that frightened all the loungers In the easy chairs into sitting positions. Afterwards there was a smell of burning rubber for an hour and the loungers sax up to listen for other clangs of the big gong to announce where anotner fire alarm had been affected. Storms Do Little Damage. Major W. C Langfitt has just received a report of the soundings recently made on the Columbia River jetty and Is much gratified to learn that no serious damage has resulted from the recent storms. The soundings show that while the storms washed away the superstructures of the jetty, the rockwork has remained Intact and this fact will be of great benefit in the completion of the Jetty extension. x Puddlers' Wages Increased. TOUNGSTOWN, O.. March 12.-At the bi-monthly settlement of the bar iron scale today, the rate for puddling was increased for the next two months from $4.90 to $5.123 per ton. Bar iron heating is 60.3 cents per ton and rolling 4L5 cents per ton. This Is the first advance for the puddlers since last Summer. About 15,000 workmen are affected by the Increase.
