TELLS STOBY OF
LL TREATMENT
John Durkin Declares He Was
Handcuffed and Punished
at the Poorfarm.
IS EIGHTY YEARS OF AGE
Superintendent Jaekson Asserts That
Durkin Was Hard to Get Along
With, and That He Tried,
to Assault Him.
Juhn Durkin, who dnlms to be an old i
soldier. and who has been an inmate or
the poor farm since last August, left
that place last Thursday for the reason,
lie alleges, that he received personal abuse
and violence at the hands of Sutwrin
tendent Jackson. Mr. Jackson, howevor,
tells a different story, asserting- that
Durkin has always received considerate
treatment at the poor farm, but that he
lias caused much trouble by refusing to
obey the regulations, and that it has been
found necessary at times to restrain him
by the use of force when he was in an
ugly mood.
Durkin's version of the affair Is that he
wont to church at Milwaukie and Cay
wood streets last Sunday, and when ho
returned it was lato and he was both
tirod and hungry.
Says He Was Refused Meal.
Dinner was over, and Durkin said he
asked for something to eat, but he was
told by Superintendent Jackson that lie
would have to be on bund when the din
ner bell rang or go without anything to
eat, and he got nothing to eat. Monday
Durkin said he got something to eat at
the home of a neighbor. Superintendent
Jackson then told him to assist In re
pairing a fenco that had been damaged
by the wind, but Durkin said he was too
weak to work, and so informed the Su
perintendent, but the Utter would not lis
ten and demanded that he help ninke the
repairs. As Durkin refused, the Super
intendent undertook to coerce him, tak
ing his cane away and throwing him to
the floor. Then, with the help of an as
sistant. Superintendent Jackson hand
cuffed both hands behind him and let him
remain in that position for three hours,
when he released him. Durkin says that
the Superintendent asked him to forgive
liim for using him so roughly, but the
former said he would forgive, but not
forget the treatment he hud received at
his hands.
Mrs. Coddinghnnrs Statement.
This Is the story which Durkin told at
the home of Mrs. Coddingham after he
had left the poor farm. Her sympathies
for the old man were aroused. She says
that his hand was scarred from the rough
treatment he had received. Sho related
that Durkin was an old soldier who was
wounded in his leg. It was true, she said,
that he had lost his discharge papers by
entrusting them to Senator Mitchell, who
was trying to get him a pension some
time ago. Mrs. Coddingham said that
Jihe had frequently taken care of the
helpless old man. spending money for his
relief and furnishing him clothing on for
mr occasions. When Durkin came to
her homfc Thursday he was in need of
shoest and through her exertions these
were provided. Not having rocftn for him
in her own home, she procured a room
for him last night at the home of Charles
Siegfried. C78 Edgar street, for the night.
Mrs. Coddingham said that she had tried
to get the G. A. It. and W. R. C. to help
liim more, but they had refused on the
grounds that ho was' not an old soldier.
When Durkin came away from the poor
farm Thursday, Rev. Father Gregory, of
the Sacred Heart Church, where he at
tended, was informed of the circum
stances, and he said he should insist on
having the matter investigated and the
truth ascertained. Durkin had boon at
a Catholic institution, but did not get
along with the Superior and came away.
Superintendent Jackson's Statement.
Superintendent Jackson, of tho poor
farm, was interviewed last night rela
tive to the Durkin case, and he said:
"'John Durkin has given trouble ever
since he came here, but he left on his own
accord. He was In constant trouble wher
ever he was before he came here, and
was in trouble here. He would not com
ply with the regulations of the place. He
would go away and then come back. Dur
kin claims to be an old soldier, but he
is nothing of the sort. Regarding the
charge of ill-treatment. I will say that
Wednesday I wanted some help to flx up
the fence that had blown down, and I
said, 'Mr. Durkin, I want you to help
fix the fence,' but he flared up and de
clared that he would not work, and that
I had no authority around the place any
way. He then struck at me with his
cane, which I took away from him. He
then attacked me, and I concluded that
the only way to quell him was to sit on
him. JDurkln Is a strong man, and I
could hardly hold him, and finally put
the handcuffs on him. as the only way
that he could be quelled. That is all
there was In the affair. Durkin has al
way received good treatment here, and 1
have not a word to sayvagainst the old
man. He Is irritable, hard to got along
with, and would not comply with the
regulations of the institutions, which
must be obeyed. He left on his own ac
cord." His Case Pitiable One.
Durkin's case is a pitiable one. He is
nn old man. apparently without relatlvos.
He is said to hr nhnnt Kft viwrc .if
The G. A. R. did assist him for a time,
but finally stopped when he xwent to the
poor farm. As he had no discharge pa
pers iic couia not go to the Soldiers'
Home, and the members doubt whether
ho is an old soldier. Mrs rviin-i,,,.,.
admits that he Is not an amiable old man
or particularly clean, but she says that
is no reason why he should be turned out
to suffer, and she had again undertaken
iu joojt aiicr mm, as sne nas done often
ill the nnst nut nf tho mnHnn,o r t.
jheart. and no because she has any sjc-k-ial
interest in him.

STRIKE OFJHE PRINTERS
Secretary of Multnomah Union Gives
Its Status.
PORTLAND. Jun. 30. (To the EHftor.)
About the first of this month a reporter
on your paper asked tne for a statement
regarding the fight between tlte Jntenm
tional Typographical Union and tkc Uni
ted Typotheta of America, the tetter being-
an organization of employing book
and job printers. At that time I evaded
making any statement, fearing that imw
paper discuttslon might endanger the ami
cable relations existing locally between
the employers and journeymen. Probably
a brief review of tho xitiuulon in the
printing trade will give no offence to
either side at thin time.
In Portland, the employing printers
some two years ago granted the union's
request for an oight-lKiur day, the men,
however, submitting to a ml In wages
in order to obtain the shorter day. Al
though differences have arivon from time
to time, no serious trouble has occurred
between tho union and the employe for
more than 20 years, a prevalent spirit of
toleration and fairncsK on both sides hav
ing enabled us to maintain pence. The
union in Portland is a part of the Inter
national Typographical Union. The em
ployers are organized under Um name of
the Franklin Association, and are nnt
allied witli the Typotheta. or National em
ployers' organization.
. As to the cause of the xtrike now in
progress in different cities of the country:
About two years ago the International
Typographical Union, by voto of its mem
bers, declared tliat after January 1. ttK,
eight hours should constitute a day'a
work in book and job offices. The United
Typotheta was not slow in dissentln;
from the projKsed shortening of the work
day, and both sides at onee began prep
aration; for war. Negotiations were car
ried on between the two tmrtles until
August, 1506, when tlie Typotheta refused
to treat further with the union.
The present status of the contest is
about j is follows: Four hundred and two
unions have secured the oight-hour day;
this includes a number of unions which,
like Portland, had tho shorter day before
January 1, 1105. Seventy-flvo unions are
on strike, some of them having wbtalnd
the concession In a part of the offices
and not In others. In a few place,
notably in Detroit, the fight is a draw u
far, tlie Typotheta standing Urm. as well
as the union. In Chioao. 2901 men are
working under eight-hour contract, and
500 men are on strike. In Philadelphia,
the proportion is about th same. In
New York City. 218 oHioes haw given the
eight-hour day. and JM are still on strike,
Evory city of importance west of the
Rocky Mountains has the shorter day,
with the exception of Los Angeles, where
a spirited fight is In progress.
It should be remembered in connection
with the above, that the newspaper print
ers are not engaged in a strike, the news
jmpers being almost universally on nn
eight-hour basis. Tlie NevwnnrKr Pub
lishers' Association and the International
Typographical Union are parties to an ar
bitration agreement which prevents
strjkos or lockouts for some time to
come.
The daily press throughout the United
States has been very friendly to the
union's contention throughout the present
trouble, many of them stating editorially
that eight hours is all that should he ex
acted of workmen in printing office. The
editor of Tho Oregonlan ome weeks aw
stated editorially that for -J4) years he had
employed union printers, during which
time he had had no trouble with them,
and ho had no desire to run his ofHce
otherwise than with union men.

HOT PERMIT TO 1
Indulgences Are Not Given as
Licenses for Evils.
SERMON AT CATHEDRAL
Father O'Hara Delivers Addresses
to Xon-Cath&llcs on One of
the Fundamental Doc
trines of the Church.
Tho doctrine of Indulgences, much dis
cussed and often raleunderrtood, was ex
plained and defended by Father O'Hara
tast nteht In a sermon delivered at the
Pro-Cathedral. The speaker combatted
the idea that an Indulgence is a license
to am. asserting that the Catholic Church
never has considered It as uch. That
the right of giving indulgences has at
times leen abused, he did not dens, but
claimed that the doctrine is fundament
ally sound. Summarized his sermon was
as follows:
"It Is no longer necessary to prove to
an intelligent and fair-minded people that
an indulgence, according to Catholic
teaching, is not a Itcnse to commit sin.
Nor i It a pardon for future sin. God
himself could not grant such a license or
pardon, for it is clear from tho very
nature of the case that no personal sin
can be forgiven without repentance. In
duiffonc. as a license to commit sin or
a ttardon for future sin. never existed In
Catholic teaching outside of the heated
imagination of controverSMtliets who
loved victory more than truth
The fact is that an Indulgence, ac
cording to Catholic teaching, has noth
ing whatever to do with the pardon of
ny sin. tittle r great, past, present or
future, nor with the eternal imnishment
due to grievous sin. Neither does It take
the place of repentance, for an indulg
uce cannot be xalned except by a person
who is heartily worry for past sins and
Is firmly resolved not to sin in the future.
Never has the chureh a.HHumed authority
to grant nn indulgence without exacting
sorrow for sin x an essential condition.
Temporal Punishment Remitted.
"An indulgence is simply the remis
sion of part or all of the temporal pun
ishment due to sin after the guilt of the
sin has been forgiven. When David re
!entod of hi murder and adultery the
offense was forgiven. Nevertheless God
inflicted a temporal punishment- So. according-
to Catholic teaching, when the
guilt and eternal imnishmettt due to sm
are remitted, there may remain a tem
poral punishment to lie expiated cither
la this life or in purgatory.
"The Governor of a state grants an In
dulgence when he remits part or all of
the sentence of a convicted criminal. St.
Paul exercise this power la regard to
the sinful Corinthian whom he Ntt ex
communicated and thejtmrdonetf in the
name of Christ when the unfortunate
man gave evidence of repentance.
"The etMMHtloiMt .fnr ratlnliv mm Ik4I..
ece. beside repentance, are usually
prayer, miexunagea, fasting, or almsgiv
ing. Christ has toM us that the giving of
a cup of coM water in his name would
not be without a reward. How then can
a IlfMe Christian find fault with Pope
I.eo X who. In the sixteenth century,
granted not the pardon of gin. but an in
dulgence in the true sense, to repentant
sinners who would give an alms towards
the building of the greatest temple ever
erected In honor of Jesus Christ?
Ministers Suhsidizcd.
"Catholics are far rrom denying that
indulgences have ever been abused. What
Is so sacred that the avarice of man has
not put It up for sale? Christ himself
was sold, iind that by an apostle for 99
pieces of silver. And we are told that
even today ministers of tun gospel are
subsidized by their pewhoMers: But no
one who knows history will .ny that the
venal traftlc in indulgences was ever au
thorized or countenanced by the Catholic
church."
HOLD ANXrVERSARY SKRVICE
Dr. Jerome McGIadc Kutcrs Sixth
Year of His Jistoratc.
An anniversary service was held yes
terday morning at the Mizpah Presby
terian Church, Powell and Kust Thir
teenth streets, it being five years since
Rev. Jerome McGutde. D. D.. present pas
tor, was installed.. Dr. McGlade took oc
casion to speak of the general work of
the church during this period, and set
forth his conception of Christian wjrk
before his congregation. He dwelt upon
the dignity of a work in which those who
labor are associated directly with God,
showing that Christian work is a divine
work, according to an infinite plan effect
ing a divine design. He likened the work
done by the church to that of tapestry
weavers, working day by day on the
wrong side of the tapestry, unconscious
of the beautiful pattern that It being
woven.
Continuing along this line. Dr. McGlade
said:
"Like those t weavers, only when the
ehurch sees the completed work on the
right side can the beautiful pattern bo
leattzed. The work being accomplished
by Christian workers throughout the
world, is one that Is done often without
the realisatiou of its worth and dlgnlrv
Those who labor, work wlfti God. In
spiration and ttneouragemont come to tho
chureh winch keep tlie exalted concep
tion of Christian labor in mind."
THIS PLEASURE OF SERVICE
Joy iu Carrying the Gospel or
Christianity to Heathen Lands.
.A life devoted to the teaching of
Christianity among uncivilized and heath
en .peoples is not necessarily a gloomy
llfc. or one without pleasure, according
to Dr. L. W. Cronklilte, now in Portland
attending tlie missionary conference, who
occupied the pulpit- at the First Congre
gational Church yesterday morning. On
tho other hand, he assortptl. it Is . Ufa
of the highest Joy. brightened by tho
pleasure which always comes with true
service and the knowledge that one is
following a career of usefulness. His
subjoct was "Gladness of the Great Com
mission." Dr. Cronkhlte advanced throe reasons
why tlie missionary life was one of Joy
"In the first place," he said, "there is
pleasure in the knowledge that we are
ministering to those who are In need.
Just as the mother finds that love for
her child Increases with service to It, so
the missionary among heathen people
finds that serving them begets spontan
eous love for them. With this love comes
a great Joy the Joy that was with Christ
in his ministry. In this Joy the church
at home shares in proportion to the
wholc-hcartcdncss with which It supports
the work.
"Then there is a great gladnoss In the
service because we are .working together
with God. The -awakening which Is tak
ing place throughout heathen lands shows
that the missionary work is given divine
support There is a marvelous awakening
in the Philippines, and In Hermit Coroa
there arc 1500 natives in attendance upon
a . sinsle weekly prayer-mcctlng with
churches scattered throughout the land.
Uganda. lost In the heart of Africa 23
years ago, lias now mofc than 100 Chris
tian churches. ' .
"But chlcfcst of all is tho gladness of
the great commission, which springs from
the fact that we are sent to work upon
the Image of God vGod said. 'Let us make
man in our own imagc.' The Imago may
be marred, but It is there. Wc are making
men more Christlike, and rapidity with
which tho transformation is taking place
is most wonderful. Just as the difference
between a child or 1 and a child of 3. is
forgotten by the time they have grown
to be 36 and tQ. so In the kingdom of God.
before eternity has barely started, wo
shall forget whether Europe and America
or Asia, and Africa cntored the kingdom
first." .

during the coming months. Two years
ago an Ideal law was framed following
the model of tho Texas law. under which
the saloons have been banished from Hi
counties of that great state. Tho law
has been used here In a grunt many com
munities, with satisfactory results." It Is
American; it gives to the people the right
to rule. It is fair; it takes no unfair ad
vantage of the liquor interests: where
their business becomes disreputable the
people have H right to repress It. If
we are going to have a local-option pro
vision at all, we need one that can bo
enforced. This one can bo. It was draft
ed by the temperance Torces. Tho- pro
)osod new bill is drawn up for the saloon
Interests purely. And the question is: If
we are to have any restrictive laws what
ever, who Is to frame them, the saloon
Ists who try to break down all law, or
the people whoso homes and property In
terests are involved?
"The Anti-Saloon- League has been or
ganized as a nonpartisan and interdenom
inational body, to withstand the saloon
in its effort to dominate this common
wealth. It believes the saloon Is a gigan
tic evil, a trap for young manhood, a
burial place of many a woman's liopes, a
blight to the prospect of many a child,
and the most dangerous source of political
corruption in the whole state. The only
good saloon Is a closed one.
"The proposed liquor bill would require
30 per cent of all voters on petition in
each precinct before local option could be
voted on. Tho present law requires but
10 per cent. To vote on a constitutional
amendment, under the initiative only re
quires S par cent, the number used by
tho liquor men to submit their amend
ment to a vote in June. Five per cent
can order an election under the referen
dum In all matters but local option. But
they would increase the required number
in this from 10 per cent of the legal voters
to M per cent almost four times the re
quired number under the Initiative, and
six times the number required for a ref
erendum vote. By what rule of fairness
is such a burden put on the temperance
people? There are many men who- want
to clean up their town and will vote 'no
saloons' who, for business reasons, do not
like to sign petitions for local-option
elections. When tho ratio is Increased the
saloonlsts will use their tactics of boy
cotting the signers. In order to prex-ent
the holding of tho election.
"The liquor men's bill requires the peti
tion to be presented 43 days before tlie
election, and that the election shall not
be for counties or towns but pniy for
precincts. This is to give time to colon
ire votors and opportunity io gerrymander
boundary lines, and so thwart the will of
the people. Why should not a whole
county vote on saloons or no-saloons?
The county Is the unit of taxation, and if
you deprive the people of the right to.
voto on this question you have taxation
without representation. In fact, this
whole bill of amendments Is ,to curtail
the rights and privileges of the people to
govern themselves on the saloon question
In their own city or county."

has dominated the affairs of the league
longh enough, and we (that Is. the Seattle
people) arc ready to call a halt, and have
something to say in the arrangement of
things or get out. It Is immaterial to
us. for we can affiliate with a Northwest
movement and at least get an even break
on the season."
No Lucas League, However.
In rcforence to this last phrase. Mr.
Agnew added that his constituents would
never combine with any, league In which
W. 11. Lucas was concerned.
In speaking of his plans at the league
meeting. Judge McCredle stated: "I favor
the condltlonfi asked by Mr. Agnew. and
have framed up several sets of sched
ules which I will place before the meet
ing. The Xorth will be unanimous for a
s?horter season, ami also will demand an
equal number or the games. The pchetl
ule I think most likely of adoption is one
that gives each town In the league 15
weeks of baseball: each club visiting each
other town three times. I would lmve the
season shortened to six months, tho first,
games to be played May S and the final
pa men about September 23. As to tho
other, town to complete the circuit In
place of Tacomn. I have always heartily
favored the admission of Spokane."
Two Xcw Aspirants.
Rhs Hall voiced the sentiments of Mr.
Agnew on the league affairs, and In ref
erence to his club for the coming season,
which he hap practically completed, said:
"I have a couple of youngsters that I
think will make a record In the league
this pennon. They arc Heltmuller. the
University of California player, who will
play ilrst ami nn outfielder named Mc
Gllvray, who was with the champion Dcs
Moines team last season "and has an ex
cellent record. There are others, but It
is too early to talk about thm yet"
Walter McCredio did not accompany his
uncle, as- at first intended, for he has a
coupw of deals on that will require his
entire attention for a few days.
The league convenes In San Francisco
tomorrow morning, or one day earlier
than was expected by Judge McCredle.
President Sort will In all probability be
re-elected to that position.
The Portland manager announces that
he has 12 pitchers now on his roll. They
are: Garvin. E54ck. Jone. Cates. Ca
ll 'f. Ferry. Henderson. French, Toren,
Howard, Moore and Gillespie. .
WILL PLAX FOR I5EXCII SHOW
Portland Kennel Club Will Elect Its
Directors Tonight.
The mombers of the Portland Kennel
Club will hokl their annual meeting at
Justice Rcid's Courtroom In the Alas
worth building at S o'clock this evening
for the purpose of choosing a new board
or directors for tho ensuing year and to
discuss matters pertaining to the club
and plans for the holding of the annual
bench show during the coming- Spring.
The directors to be chosen this evening
will meet at some date In the near future
and elect the officers of the club.
President E. F. Willis, of the club. Is
out of the city at present, and his busi
ness interests ar such as to cause him
to decline to serve the club further In
the capacity of president and a successor
to this office will be rtiosen. Secretary
F. F. Wamsley is another official who
finds it Inconvenient to continue In his
office, and In all probability W. W. Peas
ley, one of the most active members of
the organization, will be chosen as his
successor.
Just who will succeed Mr. Willis In the
presidency will not be known until the
board to be elected tomorrow night shall
hold Its meeting, but several prominent
local fanciers have been mentioned for
the place. Among them are Frank E.
Watklns. F. H. Fleming, at present vice
president of the club: Dr. Alan Welch
Smith and IT. G. Scott
Tonight's meeting promises to be the
most enthusiastic gathering of the dog
fanciers held in some years, and on that
account a large attendance is assured.
The coming bench show will also break
some records, according to some of the
enthusiasts, for a large number of en
tries from other points than this city are
expected this year, which means stronger
competition among all classes.

much. Said she could get
some other emulsion for less
money. Penny wise and

worth more costs more to
make. We could make
Scott's Emulsion cost less by
using less oill Could take
less care in making it, too.

SOCIALISTS T00PP0SE LAW
Take Exception to Clause Limiting
Parties on Official Ballot.
OREGON CITY. Or.. Jan. 21.-(3peclal.)
Clackamas County Socialists, while gen
erally pleased with the dirept primary
law. will seek to have this legislation
amended In two particulars. Claude 3.
Howard, of Mullno, chairman of the So
cialist organization in this county, takes
exception to that provision of the direct
primary law that requires a political or
ganization to cast at least 25 -per cent of
the total vote for Congressman at the
last general election before- that 'party
can take advantage of the provisions of
the law and nominate candidates in the
same manner as the Republicans and
Democrats will do under tho primary
nominating law. He contends that under
the law as It now stands, the Socialists,
as taxpayers, are obliged to pay their
pro rata share of the expense of conduct
ing those primary elections, the advantage
of which is enjoyed solely by the Repub
licans and the Democrats. Through tho
Socialist organization of the state, an ef
fort will bo made to have the law so
amended as to extend the privileges of
tho direct primary law to all parties re
gardless of their voting strength.
Another objection urged by Mr. Howard
against the direct primary law is that
provision which requires electors to reg
ister their political nmilatiorT. This, it is
argued, tends to destroy the secrecy of
the ballot.
The Socialists of Clnckamas County will
hold a convention lifthls alty early In
April, when it is proposed to name a full
Legislative and county ticket The nom
inations made at this convention will be
rcgulnrly filed with the County Clerk in
order to bo given a place, on tho official
ballot
