10 THE ' MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 16, 1905. LIFE INTENSIFIED IN THE CITIES Problem Is to. Improve Civic Conditions for Everybody. WEAK MEN GET OFFICES Difficulties AVhlch Municipalities Have to Face in Self-Govcrn- mcnt and How Best to f Meet Them. CIVICS PROGRAMME TODAY. Auditorium. Lewis and Clark Expo sition, contents at 2 o'clock this aft ernoon and adjournment will be taken at 4 o'clock. William F. Woodward, of Portland, will preside. General subject. "Municipal Im provement. Esthetic and Practical." First speakor. Hen. John Dewltt Warner, of the New Trk City bar. Second speakor, Profowser Charles Zueblin. chair of seclelegy, Chicago University. William D. Wheelwright, presldont Portland Chamber of Commerce, and C. Lombardy will also deliver short addresses and lead the discussion. er ardently advocated prohibitory leg islation and claimed that the necessi ties of the Civil War dignified the traf fic In liquor by taxing It. He also dis cussed at length the "dispensary laws" in operation In South Carolina and else whore. Ho argued that the law was a most unsatisfactory one and gave op portunities for grafting. Dr. Wilder advocated local option wherever practicable. Whenever possi ble the saloon should be suppressed and should the people claim their own and vote they could suppress them. "The liquor dealers arc a compactly organ ized body," said he, "with Its own leg islation committees, high-priced legal counsel and virtually pre-empts the choicest business locations on all the principal streets of our towns and vil lages. There can be no good saloon from the vory nature of tho thing. Tho only method to pursue is to suppress thorn In an ever-widening area." How to Assist Women. Miss Constance McCorkle, of tho Young Women's Christian Association, was next presented and dolivcrod an excellent address, her theme being the "Betterment of Women in the Cities." The young lady is a most pleasing speaker and held the closest attention of the audience. She told of the trials and temptations of the ordinary young working girl alone In the city; of the dull J and dreary life she was forced to follow and ended with an earnest plea to women more happily situated to reach forth the hand of encouragement and assist their toiling sisters to a higher and a bettor life. ' In a brief but ringirfg address Col onel Sylvanus C Small, of Boston, told of saloon conditions In his state and expressed surprise and indignation at the almost open traffic In Portland and the West. "The way to suppress a sa loon Is to suppress it," said he. "The way to close a groggery Is to close It. There must be no false sentiment about it. Rigidly enforce the laws you now have. until better ones are enacted." PUNS FOR THE GREAT CONGRESS The conference in civics is doing line work, and with only two sessions held so far. It Is more than evident that every public-spirited citizen and mu nicipal offlcer may loarn from these notable speakers who are Participating j boen' exceod,ng,y knd to m and no ter wnore l ara stationed 1 snail always Succeeds Major Imngfltt. Major W. C. Langfitt was succeeded yesterday as United States Engineer by Major S. W. Roessler. Major LangAtt Is extremely sorry to leave Portland, with its ideal climate, for his new. post at Washington, where he will b on duty under Major-Genera! McKenzle. He. re ferred feelingly to his stay In thls'dls- trict, and said: "The people here have in the programme the practical ways of making his own city n better place to live in and more serviceable to the needs of its residents. The various methods of battling against corruption in great cities was thoroughly dis cussed at Monday's session, and the -most advanced thought and theory as well, as experience given to the thoughtful and cultured audience which gathered to listen. Yesterday "Social Betterment Worjff In Cities" was taken up, and , treated from sev eral standpoints. The problem of the cities was discussed thoroughly by Rev. Josinh Strong, one of the most able speakers of the conference, and the liquor problem was taken up by Hon. Amos Parker Wlldor, editor of the Wisconsin State Journal. That work women have to do in social betterment was ably demonstrated by Miss Con stance McCorkle. Northwestern Secre tary of the Y. W. C. A., who told of the work that association is endeavor ing to do for improved civic municipal and social conditions. The audience which gathered in the Auditorium yesterday afternoon was larger than that of the opening ses sion, and represented the most thoughtful and conservative element of Portland. Citizens who are deeply interested In the proper development of the city paid strictest attention to every thought advanced upon the sub ject, and the discussion, led by W, H. Stone, of the Y. M. C A., was general. Dr. A. A. Morrison, rctor of Trinity Church, presided and highly commend ed the object of the conference in working for betterment In all linos of government, saying: "Happy-Go-Lucky" Civic Methods. "We employ skilled and trusted men to carry on our wars, but take a happy-go-lucky method in choosing men to nil civil positions Qf the utmost Importance. There should and must be personal as well as National honor in making these selections. There, are so cial vices which correspond with phy sical diseases. They must be met and corrected." Rev. Joslah Strong, president of tho American Institute of Social Service, was introduced as the first speaker. He is a forceful and convincing .orator and held the undivided attention of his audience from the first. He drew a graphic picture of the wonderful prog ress of this country from th- time when Lewis and Clark first "pushed on and on and on to where rolls the Oregon" up to tho present day. show ing the great advance of civilization during the intervening 100 years. "The modern city." said the eloquent 1 speaker, "is the supreme problem of the modern civilization and it must be solved. At the beginning -of the last century only S per cent of the total population lived In cities; at the end of the century 33 per cent of the popu lation of the country lived In cities. London is possibly 2000. years old, yet nearly all its great population has been acquired during the last century. It Is the same in all the great cities of the world and Is one phase of our modern civUIzatlon. "How best to meet the problem? The city is now creating a new and entirely different environment and new condl- j tlons must be met. The city life is not the same as that of the country. It will be found that a child raised in the country is much larger and better de veloped than a city child- of the same age. Life is Intense in the city. Crime- Is more vicious in the city than In the country. The rich arc richer and the pocr are poorer, and human misery is intensified. Municipal Offices Important. "In my opinion it is a more difficult proposition to satisfactorily fill the po sition of Mayor of New York than, to All the Presidency of the United States and this Is because there are no well established rules for governing any of the great municipalities." Dr. Strong then forcibly depicted the low standard of intelligence ef those who actually fill most of the minor of fices in great cities and many of the important -ones, where civil service rules are not rigidly enforced, and where offices arc prostituted for po litical reward. He demonstrated that at the present time fully 75 per cent of the aggregate wealth of the Nation was centered In the cities and that the newspapers the great educators of the world hud their life and being In the cities. More and more, he declared, the trend of modern life and civilization was toward the cities and the time will unquestionably come when the major ity of our citizens will reside in cities and more of these citizens will earn their living by the fine arts and less from the soil. "The city will not fail. Civilization would fail humanity would fall did the city fail. But tho problem will be met and solved." Problems of Small Cities. Dr. Amos Parker Wilder, of Madison, Wis., editor of the Wisconsin State Journal was the next speaker, who had for his subject: Tc Liquor Traffic in tho Smaller Cities and Towns." Dr. Wilder prefaced his remarks by humor ous references to the fact that he had been born In the arid State of Maine and reared in Wisconsin, where they had a schoolhouse in every section and two breweries on "very hJlL The spe- look back to the Umo spent in Portland as one of the brightest periods of my life."

Tosterday was a day of activity for the local officers, who have In chargo the arrangements for tho Trans-Mississippi Commercial Congress, which holds Its first meeting- at 3:39 o'clock this morning. Delegates were arriv ing in large parties all day from all parts of "the West ami registering at the headquarters at the American Inn. In addition to this, it was necessary to dispose of a large amount of prelimi nary business, and a meeting of the GUBERNATORIAL POSSIBILITIES NO. V MALCOLM A. MOODY BY HARRY MURPHY, ARTIST AND BIOGRAPHER executive committee was held ' in the tower of the Chamber of Commerce last evening. This meeting was to have been held early ystcrday afternoon, but the de lay of several delegations made it im possible to get a quorum of the execu tive committee together until a late hour. The chief matter of business was the consideration of the report of the secretary, Arthur Francis, on the work of the past year. Work or Exploitation. The gls of Mr. Francis' report, which shows tho amount of exploita tion work for the past 12 months. Is contained in the following summary: General correspondence. Including circular letters, 13,569 pieces; official calls. J.000 pieces; printed reports of proceedings. 750 pieces; other printed matter, 53.141 pieces; newspapers mailed, 1600 pieces; total matter dis tributed. S4.0G0 pieces. These figures give some conception of the immense amount of work which has been done during this period by the executive committee: The report also showed that 115 men have for warded to the secretary the 55 dues payable for permanent membership. The socrctary recommended- that here after the memberships be gathered at each congress among the Individuals on the floor of the congress, instead of receiving the pledge of each state for a certain number of members, as has been done heretofore. It has been found that under this method some of the states usually fall to furnish all the members plodgcd. leaving the ex ecutive committee without sufficient funds to carry on the year's business. Delegates for Cnpltal. Another recommendation made by the secretary, which may come up for consideration during the coming ses sion. Is that It would be advisable for the congress to make arrangements" as soon as possible to keep a delegate at Washington. D. C.. during ail sessions INJUNCTION STAN Judge Frazer Sustains Order Against Pools. NO EVIDENCE OF BAD FAITH Court Held That Law Prohibits Pool selling and That Clause In Fair Association Contract Could Xot Be Set Aside. The motion to dissolve the Injunction against poolsclllng at the Irvington race track was denied yesterday by Judge Frazer, who said he was sorry the horse men who came here for the race meet would lose money, but poolselllng was held to be contrary to law. and the clause in the lease held by the Multnomah Fair Association preventing the use of the place for any unlawful purpose, prohibits the sale of pools. Judge Frazer. on the contention that the suit should be dismissed because Cap tain E. W. Spencer did not come Into court with clean hands, and was actuated by spite because W. S. Dixon was not permitted to make the books, held that it was not shown that Captain Spencer was interested in the case except as the of the National Congress, to keep In J attorney In fact for Mrs. Elizabeth Ryan MAIXOLM A. MOODY. OLD SOL'S gonial rays first shot athwart tho classic foaturos of Mal colm A. Moody, up in Brownsville, Ore gon, where large numbers of sheep -are annually metamorphosed Into woolon goods. His first observation was "ba-a-h!" after whlcbhe transferred himself to The Dalles, as he bad a hunch that Oregon wanted to 6end him to Congress from there. His "prophetic eye" was prophetic indeed. For we soon find the .jtvalls of Congress swaying and reverberating with his impassioned eloquence. When he arose to speak, the whoels of commerce ceased to revolve, the busy marts of trade were silent, and a mighty nation stood en chained by Ills supramortal eloquence. As an orator, he has Edmund Burke, Demos thenes and all other candidates for de clamatory distinction going south. The cyclopcan achievement of the Cas cade Xocks will serve as an enduring -monument to perpetuate his astounding political finesse and marvelous states manship In the admiration of futurity. Commerce on the Columbia had been an Utopian dream until he persuaded the touch with all legislation that has bearing upon the Interests of the West- ern States. In connection with this j work it was also recommended that the policy heretofore followed of ap pointing the congressional committeo be changed, so that in the future this adjunct to Congress continue for two years without change. It is believed that more effective work can be done by this committee If It Is composed of men with some experience in this line, as the frequent changes in the past have boen a detriment. These recom mendations will be brought before the Congress and may be acted upon fa vorably. At least 1000 dolegates will be in attendance at this morning's session and many are yet to arrive. Rufus P. Jennings, of San Francisco, chairman of the executive committee, will call the gathering together, and after a few Introductory remarks, will turn the chair over to Theodore B. Wilcox, of Portland, who will preside through out the sosslons. Rev. J. Whitcomb Broughcr will offer the Invocation in the absence of Bishop Cranston. Re marks of welcome for the visitors will be made by Governor Chamberlain, of Oregon; Governor Albert Mead, of Washington: Senator Charlos W. Ful ton, Senator Ankcny, Mayor Harry Lane. President Goode, H. M. Cake a"hd W. D. Wheelwright. Among those who will .respond -are Governor Pardee, of California; President David R. Francis, of the St. Louis Exposition, and John W. .Noble, of St. Louis. Other promi nent men who will be present will also speak briefly. AI who had been se lected to make Remarks upon this oc casion will not be present, owing to the failure of several delegations to arrive at the time scheduled. Gover nor Bradford I. Prince, of New Mex ico. Is expected In the morning and will speak if his train arrives in time. Executive Committees Request. The oxecutivc committee wishes to re quest the delegates from each state to meet In their state buildings at the close of the morning session and organize. Each delegation Is asked also to select two members on the commltte on resolutions, one member of the executive committee and, an honorary vice-president. There promises to be a lively skirmish between several of the cities to secure the next session of the congress. TJie Denver detection will not arrive until Friday or Saturday, but it has already announced that It is In the Held to secure the' congress for next year. Duluth. Minn., j it is understood. Is another city that looks i with favor on the Idea of entertaining the delegates next year and will have men here to to to secure the congress for that I place. El Paso has written for informa i tlon regarding the expense of entertain ing the congress, and other information, from which it Is reasoned that she will be another applicant. New Orleans an nounced that she would like to be host for the next congress some time ago. but the yellow fever epidemic In that city has prevented any delegation coming from there. However, there Is a party coming from Northern Louisiana, which may work In harmony with the Texas delega tion to secure the gathering for the Southern city next year. Wisconsin Sends Delegates. When Governor La Follette, of Wiscon sin, was asked to speak at the present congress, he also received the impression that he was expected to appoint a dele gation, and named eight prominent men to represent the Badger State. These men have arrived, but their state Is outside the Jurisdiction of the congress and it Is without power to give them the standing of regular delegates. However. It will be moved to allow them the privilege of the floor, and this will no doubt be done. A precedent for this nctlon was set at St. Paul, when delegates from West Superior were grunted this privilege. The fact is that Wisconsin has many interests which arc Identical with those of the other states in the consTcss. Late yesterday afternoon Mayor Lane announced the appointment of the follow ing well-known local citizens as dclegatos to the Trans-MlssLssippI Commercial Con gress, which assembles In this city this morning: Allen C Lewis, Robert D. In man. A. L. Mills, I. Lang. Alexander H. Kerr. W. R. McKenzle. Samuel Connell. William H. Corbett, Julius Durkholmor and T. D.

The shipping at this point now averages as high as 20 cents a day. He served two terms In the halls of his country's lawsmlths and would doubtless have served two more had not his charm ing and urbane personality rendered him so great a favorite at home that It was decided to keep him here. There is nothing more moving In con temporary history than the grief that overwhelmed Mr. Moody when he learned that his successor had been indicted at the Instance of some relentless and ma lignant employee of tho Government for connection with alleged land frauds. To find words to describe adequately this af fecting spectacle would beggar the vocab ulary of a philological genius. Mr. Moody is said to have shaken with inconceivable anguish.

The court decid ed that the acts of Captain Spencer did not Interfere with the rlshts of Mrs. Ryan or tho Irving Real Estate Company to have the terms of the lease carried out. According to Law and Evidence. Judge Frazer stated that he rendered the decision with a great deal of roluc tance, because- he had a Teellng that the case was brought to satisfy private re venge, and he would have preferred it it had come before him sitting as a criminal court. But the evidence before him was not such as would substantiate the theory that the case was not brought in good faith, and he must confine himself to the rules of law in rendering a decision Captain Spencer was not an interested party In the case from a legal stand point, and what he said and did could not show bad faith on the part of the plain tiffs. The statements in the affidavits of Dis trict Attorney Manning and Captain Spen cer varied widely, but were such as to denote both might be trying to tell the ruth, said the court, but remembered the conversation differently. The statoments of Mr. Manning were strictly true, and Captain Spencer b&( said what was there claimed that he did, it was not sufficient to prove the bad faith of the plaintiffs. Mrs. Ryan and tho Irving Real Estate Company, and Spencer was not a party to the suit so far as the authoritative knowledge of the court extended. His statements could not bind the plaintiffs, and his actions could not show the bad faith" alleged. Accordingly on this point the Court ruled tho motion to dissolve the injunction could not be granted Judge Frazer said that he realized the great loss his decision would cause cer tain men. many of whom wore probably Innocent of any direct intention of violat ing tho law; but while sorry for them, he could not go beyond the law to help them. Terms or Lease Xot Altered. On the question that the provisions of the lease preventing the use of the prop erty for unlawful purposes had been waived because poolselllng and book making has been permitted in the past. Judge Frazer held the terms of the lease could not be affected by agreements to do illegal acts. Poolselllng Is unlawful and amenable to criminal action. From the affidavits presented the court said there was- no doubt tiiat it had been agreed that poolselllng should be allowed. To this extent the lease was waived, but it was not grounds to dissolve the Injunc tion. The court quoted Parsons on" Evi dence, as follows: "No custom can be' proved or permitted to Influence the construction of a con tract, or vary the rights of the partlen if the custom Itself Is Illegal. For this would be to permit parties to break the law because others had broken It; and then to found their rights upon their own wrongdoing." The case was set for final hearing on September 7, but there will probably never be any trial, because the racing season will be neaiy over by that time. ARCHITECT SUBMITS PLANS Wclls-Fargo Building Will Probably Be of Ten Stories. Plans for the new Wells-Fargo build ing have been submitted by B. W. Morris. architect, of New York, who is a son of Right Rev. B. Wlstar Morris. The struc ture is to be erected at Sixth and Oak streets, and will probably be of , ten stories, and under the plans prepared will cost in excess of JOW.O.O, modern in every respect and fireproof. Interior ar rangement is not definitely determined, as the building will be largely occupied by general offices of railroads, the Wells Fargo Express Company and other ten ants occupying large suites, and each will decide arrangements for their respec tive portions of the building.

A movement is now on foot to unite the commercial bodies of the city in an effort to Induce the National Government to keep Intact the money received from the sale of public lands In Oregon until the Reclamation Service Is ready to ex pend It In furthering the Irrigation proj ects within this state. Oregon has con tributed ROOMXjO out of J23.CCO.CCO, the en tire reclamation fund, and but a very small sum has been spent within the borders of the state. It Is urged. The Board of Trade Is leading In the matter, with a committee made up of Messrs. W. A. Laidlaw. J. Thorburn Ross. C. W. Idleman. Phil Metschan and W. F. Guerin, which will consult with representatives from the other commercial bodies. W. W. Cotton brought up the matter at tho Harriman banquet one week ago, and In a communication addressed to Tom Richardson, of the Commercial Club. Mr. Co.tton interprets the provision that gov erns the matter to mean that at least 51 per cent of the funds should be ex pended, within the state where they are raised, each ten-year period. He seems of the opinion that useless delays have occurred in the reclamation woric in Oregon. He says: There may be good reasons why the recla mation service cannot and any feasible project In Oregon except the Malheur and the Klamath Falls project, and there may be good reasons why contracts for the con struction of these projects should ndt be let. but It would seem that an unusual delay were taking place In this state.
