DISCUSS REVIVAL EFFECTS TMinisters Talk of Rockefeller's Offer and Adopt Resolution Favoring Its Acceptance, Though Some Object. Hesolved, That trc, the Portland As eoclatlon of Congregational Churches and Ministers, respectfully request the Portland City Council to Investigate the street entrance to the jLewia and Clark Exposition grounds, and to take such action as ehall make such entrance a iittinc approach, to such Exposition. We believe that the conditions as now seen by the visitor as he -approaches the en trance are not conducive to the best im pression of our fair city. "We trust that the report that is already abroad that the Council Is Investigating is true, and that your honorable body vrlll consider not only the financial returns from sa loons, but also the permanent Impres sion that may be made upon strangers In our midst. If It is wise that our aloons should not be placed in our residential districts, surely it Is more o that they should not t connected with 6uch a historic and world-wide Expo sition, which ehall be representative of our carlj- pioneer life, and a. magnifi cent monument of the industry -and re sources of our people today. REV. E. Jj. HOUSE. REV. A. M. ROCKWOOD, DR. W. II. CAKE. The adoption unanimously of the fore going resolution tv-as the first business transacted yesterday morning by the Port- and Congregational Association, In session n the Mieslssppi-avenue Congregational -hurch. It was suggeswd by Rev. E. I. House, of the First Church, that the as sociation should put the' stamp of lta dis approval on the licensing of saloons at the entrance to the Lewis and Clark Fair. He said It would be just as well to make that Fair a "red-light district." Rev. X.uther D. Mahone spoke In favor af the resolution, and declared that hun 3 reds coming from abroad would be as tounded at finding the entrance of the Northwest Industrial Exposition lined with dives and saloons. It was the con sensus of opinion of the ministers present that the licenses of saloons near the en trance of the Lewls and Clark Fair should be revoked. Effects of the Evangelistic Campaign. Under the head of "Defects in the Evangelistic Temper and Equipment of the Church, read by Rev. Luther D. Ma hone, of Astoria, the effects of the late Chapman evangelistic campaign were brought out. Mr. Mahone remarked that It waa e&ay to point out defects, but to remedy them was the important thing. "Our churches are organized enough," said Mr. Mahone, "and many are clubbed to death. Wise Is he who sees need of organization and is successful In putting it into operation. Organization is needed on the firing line. It may mean victory. That depends on the personnel of tho workers tho enthusiasm and energy of the workers and officers. "We are some what devoted to statistics. We hold out numbers to the people. If there could be a pruning process brought to bear .our churches would be stronger. Have fewer members? Yes, but stronger churches. Orchards are pruned. Dead branches do not bear fruit. "The hope of the future church on the Pacific Coast Is that we get a Arm grip on the lives of our young people. You might as well try to stop a Western cyclone with your old plug hat as to try to Influence the old class of people that live In some of our towns and. cities. They have lived their lives in opposition to the church and Jesus Christ, and in their last days they are as obstinate as they ever were. In the next ten years there will be a battle ground for supremacy on this coast. In many of our churches the people are in a rut. we follow too closely cut-and-dried forms in our services. We need change, keeping the people guessing what Is next. We should make the church the center of attraction. Get the people In the habit coming. Variety is the spice of life.' Spasmodic Efforts Fruitless. Mr. Mahone discussed modern evangel Ism, and declared that religion that comes from spasmodic efforts and excitement is a thing of the past. Preaching must be rationally evangelistic. There must be manly, brave, generous, open-minded. consecrated preachers and workers, whose exalted character and scholarship count. Rev. C. F. Clapp spoke commending the evangelistic spirit and movement Rev. B. L. House said he regretted that there were no chairs of evangelism in the Con gregatlonal colleges. Preachers must ppeak from the heart and head. Remarks were made by Rev. C. M. Smythe. Rev. A. M. Rockwood, Rev. J. J. Staub and Rev. C E. Chase, all stating that Port land churches were reaping good from recent revivals. Rev. C. E. Chase, how ever, thought that the music was a little high class. He pointed out that it rests with the churches to complete the work that had been begup. Rev. R. M. Jones strongly commended Dr. Myer, of London now holding meetings in Portland, and said he considered his work even better than that of Dr. Chapmar. Dr. House May Retire. Rev. Luther D. Mahone represented that the Astoria Congregational Church was progressing. A new manse, he said, was soon to be erected. He also spoke of the i emperance work and the spread of church Influence outside the city. W. D. Scott, of the First Church, said that work among the young people was excellent. Dr. House supplemented his report by saying the First Church had a large attendance of members- He ex pressed regret that he was not able to be present and take part in the Chapman campaign on account of sickness. Dr. House said that it mleht be necessary for him to retire, step aside, on account oi nis neaitn. it nad not been settled just what ailed him, but he was willing to go under the surgeon's knife at any time. He said, in his judgment, the First Church was the most spiritual of any in the country. Rev. C. E. Chase spoke for Haesalo, and Rev. J. J. Staub for Sunnyslde Congre gational, both of -which had been benefited by the Chapman meetings. Rev. C. E. Chase aaid of Hassalo Church that it was the first Congregational Church on the East Side, and he considered it sit uated so It would some time be a great church. He insisted that members should attend and support their home church and not cross the river to attend the larger ones. On motion the association will ask for recognition of the Lewis and Clark man agers for the CMurregationalists. Dr. House called attention to the fact that recognition had been extended bishops of other denominations. He said that in- ! asmuch as the Congregational Church had j no bishop it would be well to ask that j Rev. P. S. Knight, moderator of the State j Congregational Association, be recognized as representing the Congregational churches and that he be accorded the same privileges given the bishops. i On motion of Dr. House the association I made provisions for the proper reception or Dr. Gladden, moderator of the National I Congregational Association, who will be j in Portland in September. He will be j given a public reception and a platform ! meeting will then be held. Moderator J. J. Staub and Secretary A. M. Rockwood were made a committee on Lewis and Clark Fair information bureau, with fcowcr to take such action as may be considered best. Rev. R. M. Jones and Rev. Luther D. Mahone were appointed a committee on place for holding the next session of the association. Don't Want Rockefeller's Money. "Present Opportunities of the Portland Association" was the general topic for several addresses. Rev.. Charles McPher son spoke on the branch, "As a City Pas tor Sees It." He spoke of the growing suburbs of Arleta. University Park and St. Johns as needing help. He urged that Congregationallsts vote to purify Port land. Rev. D. B. Gray spoke on the views of a city missionary. He said that if 520,000 could be raised and thrown into the city work the effect would be far-reaching. This money should come from those able to give it. "But," declared Mr. Gray, "we shall not ask Rockefeller for any of it." "No! No!" came from all parts of the church. Rev. C F. Clapp, state superintendent of missions, gave a resume of the Qfieds or tne state, enumeraung-many entireties . in this state where no services were held. "Now," said Mr. Clapp, "if each Con- gregatlonallst would give 51 toward sup plying these vacant pulpits, with the help we are getting from the Home Mission ary Society, we could fill every vacant pulpit in this state." Work Among Germans. Rev. John Hoppe. pastor of Ebenezer German Congregational Church, Portland, told of the progress of the German branch. As to the Portland work, a new church had been erected and dedicated, and the membership had increased to more th'an 200 members. At the AVoman's Hour. . Mrs. F. R. Cook conducted brief devo- tionals, when Mrs. E. L. House gave the "Greetings of the Home Missionary So ciety." She spoke of the opportunities of women for work in the Oregon field. Miss Frances Gage brought the greetings of the women's board. "The Commercial Value of Missions," was the subject of a paper by W. H. Morrow, In which he set forth that civilization commercially had profited largely through the efforts of mis sionaries in the introduction of articles of commerce. "The Supreme Need of the Hour," was a paper read by Rev. W. C Gilmore, of Hood River, containing valua ble suggestions. Says Retain the Money. At the closing: session of the Port land Congregational Association last night in the Mississippi-Avenue Consre-1 national Church the following" resolu tion, prepared by Rev. E.-L. Houset D. D of the First Church, advising- the American Board of Missions to retain the Rockefeller grift, was adopted: "Resolved, That we extend to the American Board our confidence in their vote to keep John D. Rockefeller's gift of $100,000. We believe it is not tho province of such board to examine all the details of the money it receives, but to accept the same and use it for the best ends of elevating humanity." Dr. House said that the American Board was under fire and needed, the support and sympathy of the church. It could not undertake to examine the money it receives, any more than can the pastor of a church trace out the source of every dollar that he receives. Rev. D. B. Gray, city missionary, op posed the resolution in that form. He said that in view of the strong: opposi tion to the board accepting: this money from Rockefeller the resolution at least should be so amended that more money should be accepted from that source. He made a motion to so amend. There was no second. One speaker said that in accepting' this money it took money that represented robbery of the public W. D. Scott, M. E. Thompson and others spoke in favor of the resolution. There was some opposition, but, just as the discussion threatened to be lengthy, debate was stopped and the association adopted the resolution. Rev. J. J. Staub spoke on the topic. "Wage-Earners and the Christian Church," denying that there was any divorce, and Dr. E. L House delivered a vigorous discourse on "Can Pentacost Be Repeated?" "answering- in the af firmative. The association accepted an invita tion to meet in Hood River next year, and Rev. Luther D. Mahone was ap pointed to preach the sermon . at that time. W. D. Scott, M. E. Thompson, Dr. E. L. House, Rev. D. B. Gray and Rev. C. E. Chase were appointed a committee to arrange for the reception of Dr. Gladden, moderator of the National Congregational Association, who comes to Portland this Fall.

Welsensteln, VISIT THE S Councilmen Inspect Places Near Fair Grounds. ORDER BOXES REMOVED Ficgel Tells of His Trip and of the Conditions "Which He Fonnd to Exist Adjncent to the Exposition Site. Not -to be outdone by the investi gating committee of ladies 'that re cently made a tour of Inspection among the places where the city's food is bought, a committee of the City Coun cil, consisting of Councilman Bentley, Sharkey, Flegel and Zimmerman, vis ited the saloons gathered about the entrance of the Exposition grounds yesterday afternoon in Mr. Bentley's automobile. They did not remain in the auto, but rather made a thorough investigation of the conditions about the interior and exterior of the drink ing: places. It was about 3 o'clock when they loft the business section of the city, but they made the trip in record time and without waiting to notify the saloon-keepers of their arrival, entered the first place they reached. The ef fect of the publicity that the saloons in that neighborhood have had for t&o last few days .was noticeable at on:a. Everything1 about the places was neat and clean and the proprietors wore only too willing to pilot the committer about their premises. No startling discoveries were made in any of the saloons. It is true that there were more of them than the Councilmen had supposed until they read the list in The Oregonian and that several of the owners had ar ranged to serve drinks within closed boxes, but every ono of the saloon men expressed an Intention of remov ing the boxes at once and making any other changes that the Councilmen might suggest. In every place that the city's rep resentatives visited Councilman Flegel took notes of the condition as they actually existed and will use them at future meetings of the liquor licence committee. The sanitary condition were not examined very much, but otherwise the investigations were thor ough, except as to the quality of the liquor dispensed. The Councilmen wera evidently upon the "water wagon" or else they did not want to take a chance, for the strongest bought was a clear. The places that were found to hav boxes were noted and several of thi proprietors were notified at th tlmo to remove them at once or suiter th penalty of having their licenses re voked. Those that have the boxes and were not told to remove them will few so Informed as soon as the itquo' license committee have a meetins. Councilman Bentley's automobile MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE rHOTOGKAPJIED IN COUNCILMAN BENTXEVS AUTOMOBILE. STREET 'BASE BALL ' G-JWUrJD- HN r I proved an excellent means of making the trip and before the committee ra turned to the city the majority of the places that have been protested against were inspected and whenever Improvements were needed, either in the method of conducting th&spiace or in the arrangements,th-'coinmlttee In structed the proprietors what to do. After the Couhcilmen returned to th business section, Mr. Flegel was asked to make a statement of the results of his trip of Inspection. He said: "J think there are a good many saloons near the Fair grounds, but I must say that they are much better in interior appearance than I had been led to be lieve. Some of them are very decent, as saloons go, but in iny opinion those that have boxes should bo compelled to remove them and run straight bars only. It strikes me that we have enough saloons about the entrance, but I understand that there are two more that want licenses that are almost en titled to them on account of the show ing: they are able to make of the prop erty owners in the neighborhood." The two referred to are Jacob Unger. who wishes to establish a saloon at the southeast corner of Twenty-sixth and Thurman streets, and Schmidt & Co., who want a license for a place on Twenty-sixth street, near Thurman. The first-named has the backing1 of one of the largest breweries of Portland and the other has the Influence of a rival brewing1 company. W. C. T. TL.ancl the Fair Saloons. At the meeting of the Central W. C. T. TJ. yesterday in the Goodnough building, many members were present besides two visitors, Mrs. Gunn and Miss Gunn, of Colorado. Members of the city temperance unions are much interested in the success of the Iewls and Clark Exposition, and of the Travelers' Aid Society, with which they are in oo-operr.tion. aud at the meet ing the article in yesterday's Oregonian, stating that about SO saloons had been established in the vlclr.it' of the Fair grounds was read. This condition of the Exposition neighborhood was discussed at length, the general opinion being that unless the number of saloons were re stricted there would be a noticeable dif ference In attendance at the Fair, aa people would not like to enter the grounds through such a disreputable sec tion. Central Union will meet next Wed nesday on the sixth floor of the Good nugh building. Heney Goes to San Francisco. United States District Attorney Heney will leave this evening for San Fran cisco, where he will remain until the lat ter part of May in an effort to straighten out the tangle caused in his private busi ness by his long absence from the-city. Several large cases are waiting for his return, and the general business of the office has accumulated until it will be a hard task to clear the mass away before it is again necessary to return to Portland for the Mitchell trial. In the absence of Mr. Heney, the work of the District Attorney's office will be left in charge of "W. "W. Banks, the As sistant District Attorney, who will trans act the routine business and handle all cases, with the exception 6"; those bear ing on the land-fraud trials. The land-fraud business, what there Is of It to be looked after between this time and the calling of the cases, will be in the hands of Thomas B. Neuhausen, who was in charge of the wjrk during the absence of Mr. Heney In Washington. W. J. Burns, of the Secret Service depart ment, left Tuesday night for Washington. r nr m n ""i rUrrz J- .if:. ' - f LnL n " --; r BOXESMUSTOQNOW Saloon and Restaurant Men Will Obey Law. MAYOR WILL ENFORCE IT Pleasure Becomes Operative May 14 and About a Thousand. Boxes AVill Then Have to Be Removed In This City. The Supreme Court decision in the anti-saloon box case has created a con siderable stir among the various res taurant and saloon men affected, but so far as can be learned they will make no further attempt to stand out against the operation' of the law, and it is not probable that a rehearing will be asked. At many of the largest saloons and restaurants they are making prepara tions to remove their boxes before May 14. when the mandate will be returned to the Circuit Court. Mayor Williams declined to make a detailed statement yesterday, for tne reason that he had not seen a copy of the decision, but ho" announced that je would enforce the law. Reasonable time will be given the owners of boxes in which to remove them, and in the event of any attempt to ignore the law's provisions, the Police Department will be Instructed to act. The Mayor states that "he will pro ceed carefully, but is positive in assert ing: that he will enforce the ordinance according to the object in view when it was passed, almost a year ago. A well-known cafe proprietor last night estimated the number of boxes which come under the proscription at 1000 and asserted that he and,- so far as he could learn, all saloon and res taurant men would comply with the ordinance and take them out as soon as it became effective. Prominent members of the Municipal League, as a rule, decline to discuss the policy to be pursued by that organ ization, for the reason that no official action has yet been taken by the body looking toward enforcement. President John Bain says that the league will be reasonable and give th authorities every opportunity to act in the matter, "but," he continues, I can see no reason why the Mayor should not enforce the law from the start, and hope to see active measures taken against the boxes immediately after May 14, when the law becomes operative." Burned in His Cabin. BELLINGHAM, Wash.. April 2C -Fritz Peleny, 64 years old, was found burned to a crisp in the remains of his cabin, destroyed by Are, in the outskirts of this city, early today. A gun nearby had evidently been dis charged. The officers are uncertain aa to whether the case was one of suicida or murder. EXPOSITION GROUNDS LER S FIGUREHEAD Back of Him Are Men Who Seek Injunction. HOP MEN NOT FRIGHTENED Attorney Admits That His Real Cli ents in ,the Suit to Block Hfcp Pool Are Five Days Dis tant From Portland. Who is back of the Her injunction suit against the Oregon hopgrowers? That is what the men who formed the Hopholders Protective Association want to know. "I would fflve $100 to know who the persona are that are back of it," said Conrad Krebs. the president of the newly formed organization. James Plncus, another promoter of the movement, raised it to ?100O. They asked A. C. Her, who sljrned the complaint, and he professed not not to know. Attorney Alex Bern stein was noncommittal. "It was not local people," was all tho information he would vouchsafe. Nor would the lawyer tell the present residence of the man or men who retained him to look after the case. The story that the jrrowers origin ated the affair themselves, to show the panicky feeling- of the bears, was pro nounced preposterous by the men who attended the Hotel Portland meetinjr. President Krebs dismissed the subject in one word. "Rot!" According to the report circulating among: hopmen. Attorney Bernstein sought the services of four or Ave deal ers before Mr. Her was accepted. The other traders had no hankering for such notoriety. Her. as the report has it, was paid S50 to become the nominal complainant in the action, and the suit was filed. A. C Her is a day clerk at the Hotel Scott. In the Fall he goes out into the country as a hopbuyer for the big dealers. What success he will have among the farmers in the coming- Fall, if ho follows his old line of business, remains to be ..seen. ' The average buyer, certainly, would not want to be in his shoes, as hopgrowers have long: memories. At .any rate, he is jnly a figurehead in the present case, and the real backers of the scheme are men playing a deeper game, but one which to all appearances has failed. In the opinion of close observers in the trade, the suit was brought merely to frighten the growers and prevent the formation of the pool. If such was its object, it failed completely, for the hopmen went ahead with their organ ization. No one expects the suit will now be pressed. "I have received no orders to with draw the suit," said Mr. Bernstein, "but if such are my instructions, of course it will be done. It will take some five days to communicate with my clients and then we will have ten days' more time. I have sent them the resolutions adopted at the meeting, waich were printed in The Oregonian this morning. I have no other report of the action taken by the growers, as I understand the meeting was a secret one." The resolutions referred to were in nocent enough in themselves, and, ac cording to other opinions, do not put the Oregon growers in the ranks of the trust. The members of the asso ciation merely signified their intention of holding their hops until August 1, or until the market price became sat isfactory. Similar pools have been common in other states. Nearly all the visiting hopmen had departed for their homes last night. The executive committee will meet n Salem in a few days, but the date of the meeting has not been fixed yet by President Krebs.
