HE EXONERATES
IN. y. MASTERS
Dr. Brougher Pleased to Learn
That Councilman Voted
for Right.
TEMPLENOT FOR SHEPHERD
Pastor Kef uses to Allow Councilman
to Make Reply in House of Woiv
ship to His Scathing;
Denunciation.
DR. BROUGHER AND COU'CII
MAS MASTERS AGAIN.
Rev. J. "Whltcomb Brougher last
night made statements In effect ex
onerating Councilman Masters, and
also declining to permit Councilman
Shepherd to reply to his sermon of
last Sunday evening from the pulpit
of the "White Temple.
Dr. Broughcr likewise said that a
blp local campaign was on against
vice, and .that the reform clement
proposed toon to institute a crusade
having hi view the closing of saloons
on Sunday. He thinks after the
moral tidal wave iias swept the city
it is time to adjust their compasses
and find out the bearings of the
Councllmen.
In an interview with a representative
of The Orcffonian last night. Rev. J.
V7hitcomb Brougher, pastor of the "White
Temple, practically exonerated Council
man W. Y. Masters from the scope of
the accusations contained in his sermon
last Sunday evening.
Dr. Brougher likewise gave out the In
teresting information that It is the inten
tion of the reform clement to begin a
crusade in tho near future having in
view the Sunday closing of saloons. For
this and other enactments In the Interest
of the movement to -purify the local at
mosphere, Dr. Brougher says it will be
necessary to have a "line-Tip" of the
Councllmen to find out where they stand.
"The careful mariner," said he, "always
adjusts his compasses after a storm to
find out where he is at. There Is a big
reform storm brewing in Portland just
now, and wc are going to take our bear
ings pretty quick."
Discussing the attitude of the Council
men on tho box ordinance question, he
continued:
"Owing to the miscarriage of justice
in the Richards case at the Police Court,
the universal feeling among the reform
clement of the city that the Mayor was
being hampered at his efforts In law en
forcement reached a climax. The Mayor
had been elected a a reform Mayor. If
he failed to enforce tho laws we wanted
to know why. If he were being hindered
by a majority of the members of the Cltj'
Council in his efforts at good government
we wanted to know who the men were.
In order to find out the true status of the
situation and place the blame where It
belonged, I went, with two other gentl
men, to visit the Mayor. We inquired of
him how many men out of the 15 In the
Council could be depended upon to sup
port him in his efforts at law enforce
menL
, The Mayor's Three.
"He said three, and named them. He
did not include Mr. Masters, but did men
tlon Mr. Shepherd as among the num
ber. It is very evident that he -was
mistaken about Shepherd. His vote
against revoking the liquor license of the
Richards Hotel lets everybody know ex
actly where he stands. No one need have
any doubt concerning him.
"When the Mayor, however, failed to
mention Mr. Masters name,, I expressed
surprise, and suggested that lie must be
mistaken. He said If Masters would sup
port him, he did not know it. I made
further inquiry concerning the attitude of
Mr. Masters toward the Mayor, and all
to whom I spoke, agreed that he could
not be depended upon to support the
Mayor. All these men were upright and
trustworthy gentlemen. I felt sure that
-they Ttnew what they were talking about. statement that he did not have time to
They all know Mr. Masters well and some examine the city records to get the proof
or them have been close observers or his to substantiate his charge. I stepped into
actions, at the meetings of the Council. I the Auditor's office this morning and In
do not care to press these statements SO minutes went over the entire record
any further, only to show that I felt I had of the box ordlnanej. and I will give it
counted upon to at&sd fcy us in the great
reform fight that M Jt ahead of us.
'All the reform forces in the city will
hail this announcement with gladness.
There are three men now upon -whom we
know we may depend Mayor Lane, tho
nonpartisan Mayor: W. T. Vaughn, the
Democratic Councilman, and W. Y.
Masters, the Republican Councilman. Now
that Mr. Masters has made himself clear
in this fight, may we not hope that there
will be other Councllmen who will issue
their statements and let us know exactly
where they stand? If we have been mis
taken in any of our charges against them,
as we seem to have been against Mr.
Masters, wo will be glad to know it. It
must be that there arc others in a Council
of 15 men. We are really desirous to
know Just the ones upon whom wc may
depend. We are 'from Missouri, but will
stand corrected Just as fast as you 'show
us.'
"It affords me no -pleasure to condemn
my fellowmen, but it gives me untold
pleasure to commend them. If the mem
bers of the Council will givo us good laws
when needed, and assist the Mayor heart
ily, in seeing that they arc strictly en
forced, they will receive not only the
commendation of the preachers, but of all
good citizens who believe in good govern
ment and the protection of the home.
Refuses Temple fo Shepherd.
Dr. Brougher last night sent the fol
lowing reply to Councilman Shepherd.
covering me laucr a request iur mc use
of the White Temple pulpit next Sunday
evening:
George S. Shepherd, city Dar ir: Tour
very courteous letter, in which you aflc for
the privilege -of my pulpit to reply to the pre
lude of my sermon last Sunday night, ha
been received.
If the pulpit of the White Temple were the
only place or medium through which you could
reach the public, I would gladly comply with
your request; but as there arc a number of
public halls, including the Council Chamber,
at your disposal, and the newspapers are
willing to print anything you may say. I do
not feel that it Is any Injustice to you for mo
to decline to grant you that privilege. 3tfy
people expect me to be In my pulpit. They
conic to the White Temple Sunday nights to
hear me. Upon mo has been placed tho re
sponsibility of being "their flhepherd." Your
numerous quotations from Scripture lead me
to believe that you are familiar with the
words that the true shepherd "goeth btfore
h! sheep and they follow him, for tbey know
his voice," and a stranger, who la only "shep
herd" by name, "will they not follow but
will flee from him; for they know not the
voice of atrangcrs."
Moreover, wc are told that the "hhephcrd."
"whose own the aheep arc not, when lie aecth
tho wolf coming, leaveth the sheep and fleetto.
and the wolf snatchcth them and ncatteretb
them." "He n-eth because be is an hlrellnr
and careth not for the hep." 1 do not fert.
therefore, that I ought to run the risk of
having my flock scatter! by turning It over
to one who is not their shepherd. Scattered
and frightened sheep would bo hard to corral
again, and it ome of my flock should prove
to be jack rabbits and not Iambs, I might
never b.e able to catch them.
Furthermore, since Dr. C. T. Wilson, Rev.
A. J. Montgomery and two or threrr other
ministers have complimented you and the
Council with remarks on your record, they
might feel slighted if you spoke In the White
Temalo and not in their churches also. To
reply to all these speeches In the various
churches would require several Sunday. nights
and place upon you a burden that I fear
would very much interfere with your large
practice as a (lawyer and your multitudinous
duties as a Councilman. I regret, therefore,
that I cannot accept your offer to address my
congregation at the White Temple next Sunday
night.
Assuring you of my continued Interest In
your work as our reprrnentaUve In the Coun
cil, I remain, very truly yours,
J. WHITCOMB RROUGHCR.
Councilman Masters Statement.
Councilman W. Y. Masters, in discuss
ing the various, features of Dr. Brough
cr's sermon, last night gave out this
statement:
"There is really not much to answer In
the sermon Dr. Brougher delivered Sun
day. The occasion called for facts, and
the facts failed to materialize. The doc
tor stated in The Sunday Oregonian that
he had been making a careful Investiga
tion and that in the evening he would
answer every charge contained In my
letter to him, but I find In his alleged
answer delivered Sunday evening only a
lot of coarse personal abuse of a very
cheap kind and no facts whatever to sup
port his charges.
"I note that the dpctor now concedes
that the records will show the closing up
of the Tuxedo, El Rcy and other places
were about as I stated It, but he com
plains that they were not closed up un-
that time, vote aye, a tke motion pre
vailed, Ka& on the cxprati of the two
weeks the fifteenth Ceuncilm&n was pres
ent and the ordinance could not be
passed. I have gone over this record in
detail as it is probably the most import
ant legislation upon Moral questions that
has been before the Council and the one
in which the liquor interests were sup
posed to be most interested and where
the most pressure would be brought to
bear upon the 'backbone of the Coun
cllmen, and if the doctor can get any
comfort out of It he is welcome to It.
It will be noticed that I voted with the
Mayor on every occasion except the last,
when the Mayor made a mistake, as he
will freely concede. I have taken this
box ordinance record up, not because
the burden Is on me to prove the falsity
of the doctor's statements, as he pre
tends to think, but to give a better un
derstanding of the box ordinance situa
tion and incidentally to show my posi
tion on the vote.
"The doctor seems to be under the im
pression that the city has no box ordi
nance now and casts his malediction upon
the Councllmen for not passing one. The
fact. is. as the record I have Just gone
over shows, the original box ordinance
with the word 'section in the fourth line
of the second section amended to read
'ordinance is now in full force and effect
and has been all of the time since last
August. This amendment simply makes
the original ordinance conform to the un
derstanding of both the Municipal League
and the Liquor Men's Assocfcttion as to
what the provisions of the original box
ordinance were to be, as representatives
of both associations stated to the liquor
license committee, and makes It definitely
certain that liquor may be sold in boxes
containing 160 square feet, but In none o.
a less size. So far as I know the ponce
have made no effort to enforce this or
dinance. There seems to be a popular
opinion that the first box ordinance
should be retained for the reason that
the courts have passed upon It and it
could not be further contested, but this
is not the case. The only point decided
by the Supreme Court was that the city
had power to pass such an ordinance
under Its police powers, and the validity
of any of Its terms could be tested In the
courts at any time.
"I notice that the doctor refers to the
licensing of a saloon at Fifth and Sheri
dan streets, but had he looked at the
record he would have found that I voted
against It. In fact I told him so myself
before he. delivered his WMTnon."
STEPHEN V. HASKELL DEAD
"Was Manager Graton & Knight Man
ufacturing Company.
The funeral of Stephen V. Haskell
will take place this afternoon from
the home of S. C Pier, 1S7 E. Thrity-first
street, Sunnysidc, and the interment

tional Church, will conduct the- serv
ice. Mr. Haskell died at St- Vincent's
Hospitnl yesterday morning, after a
short illness from the effects of an op
eration on the stomach. He had been
the manager of the Graton & Knight
Manufacturing Company. He "was bom
In Buffalo. X. Y.. September 7, 1S42,
and grew up at Saginaw, Mich., coming
to Portland In 1S91. Shortly after com
ing to Portland he became manager
for the Graton & Knight Manufactur
ing Company and became identified
with the business interests of the city.
He made many friends in a business
and social way. He leaves n. wife and
the following children: Mrs. William
Jenkins. Mrs. H. B. .Wood and Howard

Mr. Haskell was a Mason in Saginaw,
but did not affiliate with the order
in Portland.
MURDER OF MAH SUE.
Three Accessories to the Crime 'Are
Sought by tlic Police.
Je Ycnc. the Chinese girl who was
slightly wounded by Lee Chung, the mur
derer of Iah Sue, was able yesterday to
appear before Coroner FInley during an
examination over the body of the mur
dered Chloese. Je Ycng is in no danger
She will recover.
Information was filed Jn the Municipal
Court yesterday by Deputy District At
piains inai tney were not ciosea up un- torncy Moser charging three Chinese
til after the police raided them. This was ilh bcin accessories after the fact in
the murder case. It is charged that the
as it should be. The police Is the execu
live branch of the city government, and
on It devolves the duty of enforcing
the law and collecting the evidence
against law-breakers, and when they
have done this, it the penalties inflicted
by the Police Court do not correct the
evil It Is the duty of the license commit
tee to act: and it has never failed to
do so. Having In mind the doctor's
good reasons for leaving Mr. Masters'
name In the list of those who were op
posed to the Mayor's administration.
In Harmony on Moral Questions.
Some .friends have tried to explain this
difference of opinion on the ground that
Mr. Masters voted In harmony with the
Mayor's policy on every strictly moral
question, but opposed him on propositions
which he (Mr. Masters) considered purely
political. Of course, some of us believe
that these so-called "political questions"
will affect, indirectly, the Mayor's efforts
at: law .enforcement. However, this may
be, Mi Masters has como out with. the
statement, showing that he has always
voted in the Interests of good govern
ment on the box ordinances and claiming
that he has, in every other way, support
ed the Mayor in his efforts to give us a
.Jean city. Those who read the editorial
on "Dr. Brougher and Mr. Masters" in j
The Oregonian this morning might have
thought that I was thirsting for blood
and could not be satisfied until 1 should
prove Masters a rascal. On the other
hand, nothing could be further from my
thought. Nothing could please me more
than to have every Councilman prove to
the public that I have been mistaken in
saying that any of them were opposed
to a clean, moral city, with every law
strictly .-enforced. All that the preachers,
as well as all others interested in good
government, want to know, is exactly
where each Councilman stands on tills
question. The Mayor has expressed his
determination strictly to enforce every
law. and give us a clean city. We pro
pose to back him up In it If he Is hin
dered In his efforts in this direction, we
intend to know, Jf possible, who does It.
Delighted to Exonerate Masters.
"In view, therefore, of the statement
issued by Mr. Masters. I am delighted to
exonerate him from the charge of being
one of those who are opposed to the
Mayor's policy of law enforcement and
good government. I am not alone In this
matter. Tho preachers of the city will
be delighted to count him among the
champions of reform. Many of the mem
bers of the Municipal Association, who
thought they had some grounds for doubt
ing Ills ardor in this direction, will be
cheered by this renewed assurance of his
fidelity. Members of tho board of direc
tors of the Y. M. C. A. will be pleased to
know that any suspicions concerning him
Jn this direction were unfounded. Some of
the official members of the Taylor-Street
Methodist Episcopal Church will rejoice
to know that he 1b "all right." His col
leagues In the City Council will now know
exactly where he stands, if any of them
have had any doubts about his position In
the past The Mayor will now stand cor
rected, and be assured that he has one
more loyal supporter In the Council than
he thought he had. Personally, I am cer
tainly pleased to learn that he- has been
true in the past and that he can be
to him with dates so that he can verify
it in a very few minutes if he desires. On
July 19, 1905, the first box ordinance was
Introduced Into the present Council and
referred to the liquor license commit
tee. On July 24 this ordinance was re
ported with the recommendation that It
do not pass, which was adopted. Masters
voting aye. This left the original ordi
nance In effect
Box Ordinance ITistory.
"On July 24 another ordinance was In
troduced to amend the original box ordi
nance by striking out the word 'section'
in the second section of the ordinance and
inserting the word 'ordinance. A motion
to refer was lost. Masters voting aye.
The rules were then suspended and the
ordinance passed. Masters voting no. On
August 16 the Mayor returned the ordi
nance to the Council with his 'veto and
on the question being put as to "whether
it should paBs notwithstanding the veto,
the ordinance failed to pass. Masters vot
ing no. On August 1C I introduced a
box ordinance providing that all boxes
should open onto the main floor of the
saloon with door 3x6Vfe feet and that the
doors should not be obstructed by cur
tains or any device, which ordinance was
referred. On September 6 Councilman
Bennett introduced a box ordinance. A
motion to. refer was lost. Masters voting
aye. The rules were then suspended and
the ordinance passed, Masters voting no
September 20 the Mayor returned this or
dinance with his veto, on the grounds
that the language of the first section was
ambiguous and left the meaning doubt
ful. On the question being put as to
whether the ordinance should pass not
withstanding the veto, the ordinance
failed to pass. Masters voting no. Sev
eral other box ordinances were intro
duced and referred about this time. and.
together with the one I had introduced.
subsequently Indefinitely postponed, more
satisfactory ordinances having been sub-
stitutea lor mem. on -November 15 a
majority report was made by myself and
three other members of the license com
mittee recommending the passage of
an ordinance that had been Introduced by
Councllmen Bennett and Wills, known as
tho Bennett-Wills ordinance; two minor
ity reports making other recomraenda'
tions were also filed.
That Tie Vote.
"A motion to adopt a minority report
resulted in a tie vote of 7 to 7, Masters
voting no. The Mayor voted no and the
minority report failed. The majority re
port then coming to a vote again re
sulted In a tie. Masters voting aye. and
the. Mayor asked for time to consider his
voWe. A member favoring the minority
report moved that the Mayor be given
two weeks to decide how he wished to
cast his vote. The vote on this motion
again resulted in the same tie vote. Mas
tcrs voting no. The Mayor, not under
ftaudlng the importance of his voting at
three Chinese endeavored to help Lec
Chung escape after tie had killed his fel
low-countryman. Quong Gee, a friend of
the dead man. alleges that hp was struck
In the stomach by one of the three men
and was prevented from capturing the
murderer. Lin Duck and i o Gom, two of
the men were captured last night.
At the Coroner s examination yesterday
it was found that but one bullet, although
three "were fired, hit Mah Sme. The bullet
went in the right side and pierced the
heart, causing instantaneous death.
Child's Generosity to Sammy.
Little Hazel McBee. the 6-year-old
daughter of Mrs. L. E. McBee, of Cecil.
Or., has taken a deep Interest In the case
of little Sammy, the newsboy, and has
been collecting a sum to add to the gen- 1
eral fund which Is to be expended in the ,
purchase of artificial limbs for him. Go- i
Ing among her little friends and their par- j
ents, she has gathered nickels, dimes and
quarters until the amount reaches $3, I
which seems a great deal of money to so
young a .child.
Mrs. MeBee forwarded the sum to The
Oregonian yesterday, with the request
that little Sammy be Informed of the In
terest taken In his misfortune by the little
girls at Cecil. She wants him to get the
artificial limbs very soon, and hopes they
will enable him to walk and make him
happy.
