Dr. Chapman Declares All Bus
iness Should Be Run by
Government.
SCORES STRIKEBREAKERS
Says Strikes Are Only "Weapons in
Hands of Workingmen, "Whilo
'Employers Have Troops
and Injunctions.
The topic ''Are Wages Slavery?"
opened to sDr. C. II. Chapman at the
People'B Forum last night an -opportunity
to describe his plan of socialism. Inci
dentally J5r. Chapman made some com
ments upon present-day questions, and
Imminent ones at that, -which brought
forth applause from his hearers. Some
excerpts from his discourse are :
"The 'present social scheme Is all
"wronff.
"Men should be governed in their
every-day life by a 'higher power than
their own will, namely, government.
"Public ownership of public utilities
is only proper.
"Business -even should be under the dl
Tect control of the Government.
"Men should not be discharged or re
sign without permission.
"The Supreme Court does wrong In de
claring that a law limiting the hours of
labor is unconstitutional.
"Strikes are the only weapons in the
hands of the workingmen.
"Strike-breakers are truly 'scabs' and
are doing a great wrong."
Behind the whole discourse of Dr.
Chapman, and it covered the ground
thoroughly through all thJ points 'hinted
at, there was obviously in his mind up
permost the thought of a man's fam
ilythat the 'women and children de
served such provision as he advocated.
"We have an undue fear of socialism.'
said Dr. Chapman. "We even fear the
public ownership of public utilities. But
the countries which hate socialism most
are strongest for this very thing. The
growth of civilisation makes valuable the
public utilities, the street railways, the
railroads, the gas and electric companies.
"We fear to have more corruption than
we have now, but tho greater the power
the better the service. Moreover, things
In which the whole public Is interested
will surely be well cared for, as wit
ness the efficiency of the fire department."
Breaking abruptly to the more ab
stract subject, Dr. Chapman continued:
Business Should Be Public
"There should be no 'private business.
The railroads have come to realize now
that they are public concerns and in time
all business will be looked upon the
same A man should not bo allowed to
run another out of business. 'Employ
ers and employes should adjust4all ques
tions, even those of hiring and discharg
ing, before a court established for that
purpose. As It Is, such matters are
cared for only by caprice and In the end
the families of the men suffer.
"When a man goes into business and
leaches others to be dependent upon
him he contracts to maintain them. He
should be compelled to keep this con
tract. We have some old-fashioned,
fixed notions about contracts which
should be changed. The Supreme Court
of the United States would not interfere
with the liberty of contract in the case
of the bakery laws In ICew York. By -so
doing it is making more socialists, -aye.
and even anarchists, than all the speeches
and haranguing could possibly make It
Is breeding a contempt for the law by
such a decision.
"A valuable property to have to bo
able to -work hours enough to destroy
one's health! But that has been the
course of modern law, to uphold con
tracts, in the limited sense of the word.
In ending his talk Dr. Chapman said
that the way to do away with the slav
ery of wages was to place the whole mat
ter in the hands of the Government, so
that workingmen would contract like
soldiers and all personal feeling would be
absent, and the old feeling of feudal de
pendence would be lost.
Speaking of the Chicago strike now
on. Dr. Chapman said that all the weight
of influence was on the side of the cm
plovers; thaeven the Gox'ernment helped
them with Injunctions and its troops, and
the only weapon the worklngman had
the privilege of striking was limited by
tho tralnloads of strike-breakers who
were imported.
Dr. Chapman's ' views were not alto
gether In accord with the opinions of
those who followed in the discussion,
David Brown Drives Family From
Home "While Intoxicated.
David Brown, of 69 Albina avenue, Is
said to "be a model husband when not
under the influence of liquor, but yester
day afternoon he forgot about the family
ties and drove his wife and children out
of the house. In vain they protested and
asked that they be allowed to enter once
more, but be was obdurate and refused
admittance.
At last he Imagined he was being
wronged and proceeded to break up the
furniture, so that the house would never
be habitable again. He broke the -chairs,
tore up the rugs and curtains. Mrs.
Brown did not seriously object about be
ing driven from the house, but when her
husband started to break up the furniture.
she ran for a. policeman.
She met Patrolman Holtx, and they
braved the "wronged" husband in his
den. When he saw the blue coat of the
policeman he became very meek and
quietly submitted to arrest. He was taken
to the station and locked up. Patrolman
Holtz says that when he entered the
house it looked as though it had been
struck by a Kansas cyclone.
THE TRIUMPH OF DAVID."
Excellent Oratorio Is Given at First
Congregational Church.
"The Triumph of David," an oratorio
by Dudley Buck, was given at the First
Congregational Church last night by
Professor W. H. Boycr and his chorus
of 40 voices. The church choir also par
ticipated. The church was crowded with
an enthusiastic and highly entertained
assembly of music-lovers. The general
verdict was that the oratorio was one of
the most excellent musical entertain
ments ever given in Portland.
The life of David, from the time he
was a poor shepherd boy until he was
crowned as King, was rendered In song.
interspersed with solos by Mrs. Hose
Bloch Bauer, Professor Boyer and Mrs.
W. A. Bushong. During the interlude
Jicv. E. X. House read passages from
the Bible relating to the life of David.
Those who participated in the oratorio
have been training and practicing to
gether until a high degree of excellence
was reached. The blending of the voices
was perfect. The oratorio lasted about
an hour. Several oratorios are given at
the First Congregational Church every
year, but the one last night Is said by
music-lovers to be tho masterpiece of
them all.
Pastors Finish Their "Work.
Rev. W. C. Plumer, of the First Eng
lish Evangelical Church,, and Rev. P. J.
Greene, of the Memorial Evangelical
Church, both on the East Side, yesterday
finished their pastorate for the year, and
delivered their farewell messages to their
congregations. Rev. Mr. Plumer has
served the First Church for four years

laws of the Evangelical Association he

HE BREAKS UP FURNITURE
EXTORTION IS THE CHARGE
Assessor Sigler "Will Answer Accusa
tion ol Ferdinand Joplin.
It is expected that when the trial of
County Assessor B. D.-SIgler for extor
tion is called this morning In the State
Circuit Court, there will be no effort
for further continuance and the case
will go to trial. It has been on the
trial calendar for as long time, and it is
thought that the case will now be
fought out on its merits.
This is the case wherein it is alleged
Sigler, when a Councilman from the
Fifth Ward, upheld certain warrants
for street work done by Ferdinand
Joplin, a contractor. Joplin states that
Sigler "did this to force him to liqui
date an old note for 5300. When the
grand Jury was in session in 1904
Joplin appeared before that body and
made a complaint against Sigler, with
the result that the latter was indicted
under the extortion statute.
AT THE THEATERS
What the Press Atents Say.
Declares That It Is a Different Man
Than the One First Under Sus
picion "Who Has Been Tak
- lng Chinese Bribes.
Chief of Police Hunt is making a rigid
investigation into 'the statements made
by Charley Law and Hang Wah, two
Chinese, who own stores on Gllsan street,
that they" had been paying J2'a month to
a policeman, who In turn allowed them
to conduct lotteries without molestation.
Several detectives have been 'detailed on
the case, and every possible clew is be
ing closely followed.
Chief -Hunt when seen last night would
not deny that the Chinese had been pay
ing money to prevent them from being
arrested, but stated that it was 'a dif
ferent man than the one under suspicion.
He would not say whether he was con
nected 'with the department or not.
"We have tried every possible means
within our power to suppress these Chi
nese lotteries, and we have succeeded to
a large extent," said Chief Hunt. There
Is very little lottery being played, and
wc arrest the proprietors of the games
as soon as we can obtain 'sufficient evi
dence to make our cases stick.
"The patrolmen have not only been in
structed to look out for the lotteries, but
we have had a. couple of plain clothes
men working in Chinatown for 'weeks.
Whenever It Is reported or the patrolmen
suspect -that lottery Is being played, men
are immediately detailed -on tho case.
"Of course, it could be possible that
patrolmen or officers connected with the
police department are guilty of accepting
bribes from the Chinese, but It was en
tirely :new to me until I read tho state
ments made by Charlie .Law and Hang
Wah. which appeared In The Oregonlan.
If any member of the department has
been accepting -money from the Chinese
as charged h will be discovered and his
head will come off. That Is positive."
ADVANCE SALE TOMORROW.
Marquam Theater Box Office "Will
Open for "Red Feather."
Tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock the ad
vance sale of seats will open for Grace
van Studdlford In the romantic comic
opera succesa, "Red Feather," which
comes to the Marquam Grand Theater
next Thursday, Friday and Saturday
nights, with a special matinee Saturday.
The came stunning array of showgirls
that appeared with Miss Van Studdlford
when the De Kovcn opera was first pre
sented are promised. Miss Van Studdl
ford's work In "Red Feather" Is said to
excel anything she has hitherto given,
surpassing the roles she played in the
Bostonlans performance of "Robin
Hood" and "Maid Marian." She Is with
out doubt the best light-opera prima don
na in the country.
AT THE VAUDEVILLE THEATERS
At the Baker.
Scientists of two hemispheres have tried
to solve the problem of Miss Annie Ab
bott, who appears at the Baker in the
new headline bill, and have failed. With
out apparent -effort she can raise a
weight of 1000 pounds with the palms of
her hands. Furthermore, an eggshell ly
ing between her hand and the weight she
lifts Is not as much as cracked, so perfect
Is the strange gift nature has given her.
There are the Imperial Four, the comedy
sketch artists who force any audience to
laugh; Little Anita, the dancing sou
brette, with her wiles and power of cap
tivating all: five musical Lovelands, by
far the highest-priced musical specialists
in vaudeville; Emerson Duo, singers and
comedians; Jean Wilson, the popular and
talented singer of Illustrated ballads, and
the Bakerograph, which presents the very
latest and very best life-motion pictures.
The bill will continue throughout the
week.
New Acts at the Grand.
Commencing with the matinee today.
the Grand will present the distinguished
actor, Joseph J. Dowllng, and his talented
wife. Myra Davis Dowllng, in Raymond
A. Browne's charming little play, "A
Sagebrush Widow." The Dowllngs, two
of the most finished artists before the
public, and in so charming a little play.
with Its crisp dialogue, rapid and exciting
action and strong climax, should be a
real treat. The Bell Quartet, another of
the Grand's features, comes with the bset
possible recommendations, and makes a
specialty of the latest compositions. Rob
ert Eidridge, who possesses ability with
the brush and palette, paints the most
beautiful pictures with colored sand, using
a piece of plain velvet as a base. Clever
Conkey, the Juggler, who has the reputa
tlon of being one of the best In his art,
will show us some new tricks. Christo
pher, the magician; the Jameses, a clever
musical team; Alf Bonner, In "Where
the Sunset Turns the Ocean's Blue to
Gold," and The Travels of a Lost
Trunk," by the Grand Is cope, will com
plete a bill In every way up to the stand
ard of the Grand.
Italian Band at the Star.
A band of 25 artists is an attraction
of unusual importance in a vaudeville
theater. DUrbano's Royal Italian Band
will be the headllner at the Star this
week, starting with the matinee today
Thl3 organization is a genuine treat. It
will be the biggest vaudeville act ever
seen here. The Brewers will present a
laughable sketch called "la Jungletown.'
Mclntyre, Fletcher and Mclntyre. peer
less singers and dancers, have come here
with a reputation which they will live up
to. Kinzo, the Japanese Juggler, Is the
best that ever left the land of the Mikado.
John Drew Is a. comedian who helps keep
you merry by singing. Kerrera offers the
public a travesty act on the European
order, and it will be a sensation. Roscoe
Arbuckle is down to sing "Bunker Hill.'
the latest patriotic ballad. On the Staro
scope tho moving pictures will be brand
new and of the kind best liked.
Undergo Surgical Operations.
Several very difficult surgical opera
tions have been performed recently at
St. Vincent's hospital, all of which were
highly successful, and the patients are
now pronounced out of danger. Bliss,
the L-year-old son of L. E. Clark,
prominent resident of Hood River, left
for his home last Saturday after under
going a very serious operation. Mrs. C.
J. Sawtelle. of Molalla, Is likewise doing
nicely, while Miss Grace BameL.of Mont
