Indian Chief Addresses the
Methodist Congress on.
Christianity.
TALKS IN YAKIMA TONGUE
Iter. John Flfnn, Veteran Circuit
Rider, Expresses His Happiness
at the Conference and
Talks of Past.
Before delvinp into the questions of latter-day
evanRcllpm. the Methodist Con
gress yesterday harked back to the begin
nings, and venerable pioneers rat atten
tive through tho morning session, -recalling
something of their own enthusiastic
youths In the interests of religion, such
as the speakers told of to them? And to
bind the congress more firmly to the past.
Chief "White Swan, of the Yaklmas, spoke.
The old Indian, who was baptized by
Jason Lee, was dressed In the costume of
his tribe, presenting a picturesque appear
ance, and though he spoke in the Taklma
language, his Interpreter followed him
closely, and the full effect of his native
oratory could be felt. He told of the first
missionaries and their seemingly hopeless
attempts to Interest the savages In re-
Iglon. and many an old missionary sitting
ell down to the front nodded in heart
felt accord.
Chief White Swan's Address.
"But," said the Indian, marking his
words with action, "we began to feel a
burning down hero in our hearts, and we
rose up. and. taking off our outer clothing,
knelt and prayed."
"White Swan. In speaking, threw off his
blanket and his outer jacket and kneeled
before the audience in his shirt.
But, Interesting as "White Swan made
himself, he could not carry his audience
into the past $o completely as Rev. John
Flinn, one of the old circuit riders. sucli
as were- called "Father" In the scattered
communities which they visited period
ically. He is a remarkably well-preserved
man for his years, and though an Irish
man by birth, reminds one more of the
old Southern preacher, who can only be
read about these days.
"I am happy today." said the old minis
ter, "but I have never been so happy as
when riding on my wide circuits."
He closed by Introducing George "Waters,
a Yakima Indian, one of the first converts
to Methodism in the Oregon country. Oth
er speakers were D. G. LcSourd, T. F.
Royal, T. I Jones and A. J. Joslyn. Rev.
I. E. Rockwell presided, and Bishops
Moore ond Thoburn and "W. B. Hollings
head weie on the platform. Dr. R. A.
Heritage sang a solo.
Services in Evening.
At the evening session the general topic
of discussion was evangelism and the
speakers all advocated aggressive meth
ods. The Methodists of this day are as
much Inclined as John "Wesley himself
to seek but the unbeliever and secure his
attention even against his will. The
speakers of last night, "W. T. Euster,
of Moscow, Idaho, Clarence True "Wilson
and "W. "W. Van Orsdel, took up the va
rious phases of the question, particular
ly In regard to the minister's part,
which is of course the leading one. They
concurred In the -belief that the advance
ment of religion, particularly Methodism,
followed best In the -wake of evangelism
and that it rested with the preacher to
keep the religious motive constantly
before his people.
Dr. Clarence True Wilson, of the Grace
Methodist Episcopal Church, placed par
ticular stress on the good that could be
done by the devout minister who tended
dally to his people and never slacked in
his efforts. Dr. "Wilson's fellow preach
ers were expecting such an address from
him and believe that In It he wished to
disparage such evangelistic movements
as that conducted by Dr. Chapman here
some months ago.
Indian Will Speak Again.
ThoEe who did not have an opportunity
to hear Chief White Swan speak yes
terday morning will have an opportun
ity tonight and on Sunday afternoon.
The Sunday afternoon address will be
to the Epworth League.

laughter from the Atlantic to the Pacific
with his stories, jokes and songs, all be
ing of his own manufacture. Bobby Gay

sical world, and the Grandiscope has a
film of amusing and diverting pictures.
This bill will continue up to Sunday night.
A Good Show at the Star.-
The Star is presenting to its patrons
this week -what Is probably one of the
best bills It has ever given. Every act
is of the head-line quality, though
Shields and Paul are listed as the fea
ture act. These young men do the most
wonderful things with a piece of ordi
nary clothes-line. One binds the other.
hand and foot, while standing more
than 30 feet away. Other good acts
are: Abbott and Bryant, late of the
Wilber Opera Company; both people
have splendid voices and stage their
act very pleasingly. Carl W. Sanderson
and company have a bright little sketch
and are frequently applauded. Joseph
Goldcn's Irish stories are good. Zerelda
is a daring trapezlst. The Illustrated
songs and the Staroscope pictures are
exceptionally good.
The Baker's Good Show.
There Is not a moment of dullness
In the bill which the Baker Theater Is
presenting this -week. Every act is a
feature with its own peculiar power of
entertainment. Murray and Lane, op
eratic, are the stars of the bill, and
their singing ranks with the very best.
Aita Pnlpps, the sweet-voiced sou-
brette, adds to the musical part of the
programme, and Roy McBrain, the new
illustrated ballad singer, is possessed
of an excellent baritone voice. Ashton
and Carl add a dash of liveliness to the
bill with their sensational human trap
eze act. Jones and Hennings are good
comedians, and Tom Mack has few
peers as a blackface comedian. New
moving pictures, and interesting ones,
end one of the season's very best shows.
"The Heir Apparent."
The Empire Stock Company continues
to score heavily at every performance
this week of the charming romantic
melo-drama, "The Heir Apparent."
The constant appearance of a dash
ing daredevil newspaper man among
the dignified royalty -and courtiers in
a European monarchy, his mixing up
with their Intrigues and quarrels, his
winning the love and admiration of a
charming Princess of the realm, all
unite to make a story most fascinating
to the lover of Ideal romance. As a
matinee play, "The Heir Apparent" Is
indeed a winner. There Is a matinee
every day at the Empire and the even
ing performance starts at S:l.
WILL ASKF0R A DEPOT
Committee of East Slders to Confer
With General Manager O'Brien.
At a meeting of the general committee
working to secure a freight and passen
ger depot on the East Side, held yesterday
afternoon, Joseph Buchtel presiding,
George C. Flanders. John J. Ross and M.
W. Klncald, special committee on statis
tics, submitted a report. This committee
canvassed the section between East Clay
and Burnslde streets and Grand avenue
and the Willamette River, ond Interviewed
65 firms, -who do more or less business
from this section, with the following re
sult:
"We find that the tonnage for 64 of
these firms amounts to 71,722 tons a year,
or 6977 cars, figuring on a basis ot 12 tons
to the car; this means freight shipped In
and out. After carefully figuring this
over, we find that 43 per cent of all this
tonnage goes out over the Southern Pa
cific Company and the O. R. & X. Cos
lines, and that approximately 331-3 per
cent goes out in small shipments, making
for there small shipments 1952 cars. This
is exclusive of the Standard OH Com
pany's business. The Standard Oil Com
pany's local shipments over the Southern
'Pacific and O. R. & N. Co.'s lines are
approximately 5418 tons per annum, or 450
carloads. This does not Include Incoming
or outgoing freight In carload lots. We
have gone into this matter carefully, and
the above figures are very conservative.
We have been careful In all cases not to
overestimate, but on the other hand we
have underestimated a small percentage
so as to dc on tne sale side. '
Appended to the report Is a list of the
names of the firms who furnished the in
formation. Mr. Flanders, of the Standard
Oil Company, said that the railroad fa
cllltlcs in Portland were not now sufficient
for handling freight, and that an East
Side depot would furnish a crying relief
to shippers. It was decided to lay these
statistics before General Manager J. P.
O'Brien at once. For this purpose a com
mittee consisting of fifteen business
men and citizens will be appointed to con
fer with the general manager. This com
mittee -will be named by tomorrow by the
chairman, after consultation with those
Interested In securing the freight and pas
senger depot.
Divorce Suit Dismissed.
The divorce suit of Ella Mead against
Ralph Mead was dismissed by Judge Cle
land yesterday, who decided that a case
had not been established, and that the
cruel treatment complained of by Mrs.
Mead was not of a serious nature. Tho
Meads have been married a long time and
.have children. Mead contested the suit.
PLAN LEGAL STEPS
Effort to Save Restaurants
From Order.
BOX ORDINANCE QUESTION
Attorneys Are Seeking: That Its Ap
plication May Not Be Enforced
Where Meals Are Served
to Their Patrons.
Indications are that further legal steps
will be taken to prevent the enforcement
of the box ordinance in its most stringent
forms. There will be no attempt to per-J

saloonkeepers that boxes are a thing of
the past, but an effort will be made to
have the courts decide that liquors can
be sold in open rooms, attached to sa
loons, and where meals are served. Thero
are quite a number of such places, and
there are also several restaurants where
liquors and wines re served. Thomas
O'Dny and John F. Logan are said to be
Investigating the matter to determine If
any further action of a legal nature can
be taken to prevent the operation of the
ordinance, so far as It refers to open
dining-rooms attached to saloons or res
taurants. The Supreme Court has already
decided that the ordinance as a whole is
good. Its main provisions are:
Section 1 No person engaged in celling pplr
ltuour, malt or fermented liquors or wines In
quantities lew than one quart In any saloon.
barroom or restaurant In the City of Port
land shall sell any liquor to be delivered
or used or that rtiall be dell-ered or used In
any nlde room, back room, upper room or
other apartment In the same or an adjoining
building, and shall not maintain therein or
connect therewith any alcove, booth or box.
or shall have or maintain any private or sep
arate entrance for any particular class of cus
tomers, or any words or fign upon any en
trance rignlfjing that ruch entrance la for
ladles or families or for any particular class
of person or Is & private entrance to such

in a hotel having a valid license to sell the

Section 2 It rhall be unlawful for any per
son to conduct, carry on. open or maintain any
restaurant, barroom or saloon within the City
of Portland that has connected therewith any
box, booth, stall or any private room; pro
vided, however, that this section shall not
apply to a private room having a floor epace
of more than. 1C0 square feet, nor shall It
apply to restaurants In which plrituous. malt
or fermented liquors or wines are not ld end
In which such box. booth, stall or private room
Is so constructed as to be entirely open upon
the side facing any hall, hallway, passageway
or room, and the tides thereof do not exceed
seven feet In height.
There is considerable dispute regarding
the meaning of some of the provisions,
especially the one relating to a room con
taining more than 160 square feet of floor
space, and whether or not drinks may
be dispensed in such a room.
BOX ORDINANCE FIGHT.
Most Proprietors Arc Removing; Par
titions, but Some .Ilcfuse.
It is becoming evident that the police
will experience some trouble In enforcing
the ordinance relative to the removal of
boxes from saloons and restaurants. Sev
eral liquor-dealers and restaurant pro
prietors have not as yet complied with
the requirements, neither are they pre
paring to do so.
Information in the hands of Chief of
Police Gritzmacher shows that a large
majority of the liquor-dealers and res
taurant proprietors are preparing to com
ply with the order by tomorrow night,
and to that end have had carpenters
tearing out boxes and rearranging estab
lishments. It has been clearly stated by Chief Gritz
macher that in case of violations of the
ordinance or of refusal to obey it by mid
night Saturday, arrests will be made on
warrants. There seems no question as to
the determination of the police to en
force the law, and as a result there Is
sure to be collisions between the officers
and those who still refuse to give up
their boxes.
The administration feels that there can
be but one result, as the Supreme Court
of the state has passed upon the validity
of tho ordinance. Some local technicali
ties, not touched upon by the higher
court, will have to be settled by the Port
land officials.
Numerous saloon and restaurant-keepers
have visited Chief Gritzmacher with
in the past few days, clamoring for priv
ileges and asking to be given additional
time and for other favors. To all he has
replied that the order as originally given
still stands and cannot be altered; that
It was meant to be strictly enforced, and
that It is going to be enforced,
August Erlckson. proprietor of a large
saloon, concert hall and restaurant on
Burnslde street, between Second and
Third, has asked to be permitted to keep
his restaurant, run In "connection with
the saloon, open all night. He thinks the
request reasonable, inasmuch as he says
ne is wining to lock up the barrooms In
side an iron fence, and sell no drinks dur
ing forbidden hours. He also wants to
retain his orchestra, composed of women
which Is a big feature of his place. This
request, made of Chief Gritzmacher. will
have to be settled by City Attorney Mc
Nary. Other concert-hall proprietors have
asked certain favors, but none has been
granted, the order as made being the
rule by which Chief Gritzmacher Is gov
erned. It is understood that many have
retained counsel, under whose direction
they are acting. Some attorneys believe
they can beat the cases In court, and
there Ir certain to be a severe test made
of the law In at least a few instances.
DEMANDS HIS COMMISSION.
James Magulre Sues Dr. 3IcKay Over
Alleged Agreement.
James Magulre has sued Dr. Harry
r. McKay in the State Circuit Court
to recover 5500 commission for services
performed in getting Mrs. Margaret A.
Simmons, formerly Mrs. Ferrlss. to
agree to forego any claim to the estate
of the late Thomas Gibbons. Gibbons
In his will bequeathed lot 7. block i2,
Holladay's Addition, to Dr. McKay,
and the income of the propertv to Mrs.
Simmons for life. Lot 1. block 217, Hol
laday's Addition, was devised to Ara
belle Johnson, a sister of the testator."
and the rcmander of the estate to Dr.
McKay.
In his complaint Magulre sets forth
that Gibbons executed the will on 6ep
tembet 14. 1904. and died three days
later, and that the whole estate was
valued at $10,000. He alleges further
that Gibbons -was 79 years old and In
competent to make a will when he
did so; that Dr. McKay was a stranger
In blood to Gibbons, and that Mrs.
Simmons, who was an adopted daugh
ter, was bequeathed a disproportonato
share of her rightful Interest.
Magulre also avers that Dr. McKay
was desirous of making a settlement
-with Mrs. Simmons ' and buying her
right, and preventing her from contest
ing the will, and offered to pay 32500,
and to give Magulre the difference be
tween that amount and what he could
influence Mrs. Smmons to accept. He
says she agreed to take $2000. and Dr.
McKay refused to live up to his con
tract. Magulre. therefore, sues him for
5500. Davis &. Spencer are attorneys for
Dr. McKay, -who will fight the case.
Must Serve Terms in Prison.
Charles Marchand and Percy R. Treau,
two young men convicted several weeks
ago of having robbed Albert Hoeft, a
saloonkeeper, on Hood street, were both
sentenced by Judge Cleland yesterday to
serve a term of five years each In the
penitentiary. Treau had nothing to say.
Marchand made a few remarks, thanking
Judge Cleland for his impartial conduct
throughout the trial. Marchand drove a
wood wagon in Portland for several
years. He has a wife. Treau. who Is
very Intelligent, was once a soldier. He
was In the saloon when Marchand en
tered, and at the direction of the latter
took the money from the cash register.
and rifled the pockets of the men who
were In the place. The police proved
that this was all a prearranged plan be
tween the two. Before passing sentence,
the court denied a motion for a new trial.
Must Pay the Tax.
Multnomah County is the victor In the
suit against the Portland Cracker Com
pany to collect 3S00 personal tax for the
year 1SS5. Judge Cleland rendered Judg
ment for the full amount against the com
pany yesterday. Several years ago, when
William Stlmson was a Deputy County
Clerk, he held out to the company that
he had been authorized by the Board of
County Commissioners to compromise the
tax for J230, and he was paid the money,
which the county never received. An or
der of cancellation, never authorized by
the Commissioners, was entered of record,
but this was forged because it was en
tered under a date a year before the com
promise was made. Judge Cleland called
attention to this fact in rendering his de
cision. Mrs. Epstein Asks Divorce.
Mrs. Epstein, whose, husband. M. Ep
stein, a tailor, knocked her down, last
Monday night, on Morrison street, yester

dren, and says In her complaint that she
Is willing tnat their father may visit them.
Mrs. Epstein does not bring In Mrs. For

NEPPACH FINALLY WINS
Oregon and California Railroad
Company Pays the Big Sum
v Following a Dispute Over
Purchase of Land. ,
A judgment In favor of Anthony Kep
pach against the Oregon & California
Railroad Company for 537.822 was satis
fled in the State Circuit Court yester
day, and Is one of the largest Judg
ments ever recorded In Multnomah Coun
ty. On March 24. 1SS3, Neppach and C. A.
Hlmple purchased 3216 acres of timber
land near Gordon Creek from the Oregon
& California Railroad Company through
Paul Schulze. Its land agent. Neppach
paid J12S6 as a partial payment and was
to pay the balance In installments, and
he subsequently succeeded to the right
of Hlmple. A question arose whether
under the grant of the "United States
Government the land belonged to the Ore
gon & California Railroad Company or
the Northern Pacific Railroad Company,
and a suit was brought. Pending the de
termination of the suit in the "United
States Supreme Court, the time of pay
ment for the lands was extended by
Schulze. Neppach contended that Paul
Schulze informed him that as he was
land agent for both railroad companies
he (Neppach) could complete the purchase
no matter which company the suit was
decided In favor of.
After many years' delay the case was
finally decided In favor of the Oregon
Si California Railroad Company.
Neppach offered to take the lands and
complete payments and his offer was re
fused. The company contended that the
time of payment had never been ex
tended: that Paul Schulze was not vested
with any such authority, and that the
extension agreement, if there was one.
was not In writing, and was not valid
There were other Important questions
Involved. Neppach demanded the lands.
alleging the value of the 3216 acres to
be more than 525O.C0O. The com
pany refused to deliver, and through
Paxton, Beach &. Simon, attorneys, he
entered suit. On December 19, 1901. a
jury In Judge Frazer's .court returned
a verdict In his favor for 547.000 damages.
A motion for a new trial was denied.
The railroad company next appealed to
the Supreme Court and lost. Neppach
at that time offered to take the lands
and pay for them and forego the money
Judgment. A motion for a rehearing
was denied. The mandate of the Supreme
Court was received here on Monday last.
and yesterday the money was paid. The
interest on the judgment amounted to
more than $10,000.

of the Fair and prominent resident Jap
anese planned an effective and far-reaching
one by which they hope to make the
day the greatest of all Exposition days.
Among the Interesting plans there were:
"Wide advertisement of Japan day. with
invitations to be sent to Seattle. Tacoma,
San Francisco. Spokane and other cities
where many Japanese reside. An attract
ive parade and decorations will be in a
typical Japanese style. It was decided to
raise a fund by popular subscription,
which is to be not less than JCOCO.

OF VALUABLE EXPERIENCE,
Jt Termer Pronounced. Dyspeptic Ha Xo-vr
Rejoices ia Perfect Freedom from
Miseries ef IndlgestioB.
Thousands of sufferers know that the
reason why they are Irritable and de
pressed and nervous and sleepless is be
cause their food does not digest, but how
to get rid of the difficulty la tho puzzling
question.
Good digestion calls for strong diges
tive organs, and strength comes from a
supply of good rich blood. For this
reason Mr. Baysson took Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for the cure of indigestion.
" They have been my best doctor," he
says. ' I was suffering from dyspepsia.
The pains in my stomach after meals
were almost unbearable. My sleep was
very irregular and my complexion was
How. As the result of using olght
boxes of Dr. "Williams' Pink Pills, about
the merits of which I learned from
friends iu France, I have escaped all
these troubles, and am able again to take
pleasure in eating."
.Arvery simple Btory, but if it had not
been for Dr. Williams' Pink Pills it
might have been a tragio one. When dis
comfort begins with eating, fills up the
intervals between meals with pain, and
prevents sleep at night, there certainly
oannot be muoh pleasure in living. A
final general breaking down must be
merely a question of time.
Mr. Joseph Baysson is a native of
Aix-lea-Bains, France, but now resides
at No. Larkin street, San Francisco,
OaL He is one of a great number who
can testify to the remarkable efficacy of
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in the treatment
of obstinate disorders of tho stomach.
If you would get rid of nausea, pain or
burning in the stomach, vertigo, ner
vousness, insomnia, or any of the other
miseries of a dyspeptic, get rid of the
weakness of the digestive organs by the
use of Dr. Williams Pink Pills. They
ire sold by druggists everywhere.
Proper diet is, of course, a great aid in
forwarding recovery once begun, and a
little book, "What to Eat and How to
Eat," may be obtained by any one who
makes a request for it by writing to the
Dr. Williams Medical Co., Schenectady,
N.Y. This valuable diet book contains
an important chapter on the simplest
means for the ouro of constipation.
