Dele gates from California and Nevada who have been attending the convention ol the Seventh-Day Adventlsts In this city left latt evening for their homes. They spent Saturday their sabbath with the north ern delegates in religious services, begin ning in the morning and continuing In the .afternoon. The delegates from the southern district were opposed to division of the union conference and the forroa .tlon of two separate union conferences, but theyacccpted the decision of the ma jority.. They take the name "The Pacific Union Conference," and their northern brethren take the name "The Northern Pacific Union Conference." The separa tion xwas accomplished without friction of any sort. In fact, the sessions of this body oO Christian workers was free from all friction and wrangling, although there was a wide difference of opinion on plans and there were large interests Involved, running up to $1,000,000 or more.ln church. school and sanitarium property, there was not the slightest hitch in the pro ceodings. The conference committees ap pointed by botn conferences Trill accom plish the' delicate work of dividing the funds on hand, adjusting the publication Interests and settling all other questions in-olvlng both sections. It may be said that one of the' most Important branches of the Seventh-Day Advcntlst work Is their medical departments. On this Coast, In Oregon, they have the big sanl tarium at Portland, while in California they have four large-sanitariums, besides the one at Arizona, where nurses are trained and lectures are given on health lines, additional to the great work of medication. The south conference made provisions for a medical convention, but the northern conference left that question open for the present. Will. Return East'. Bishop J. M. Tho- burn, who has been resting at the home of his daughter-in-law, on the East Side, for the past three months, will "leave for the East this week. He remained quietly In Portland on the advice of his physician on account of his health. He preached yesterday morning at the Centenary M. E. Church. His work in this country at present has to do with raising funds and preparing for the 60-year Jubilee to be held in India in honor of the quarter century anniversary of the establishment of missionary work there. Ripe Wild Strawberries. Ripe wild strawberries, even in Oregon, at-this time of the year the 25th of February are a great rarity, yet Jessie Trcsson. who lives at 421 East Twelfth street, picked some yesterday morning on Clinton, between East Thirteenth and Fourteenth -streets. She has the ripe strawberries to show at her home to confirm their finding on the vacant lot. Few countries have so mild a climate that wild strawberries will thrive and mature out In the open In the month of February. Lents Free Librart.

H. -Sinshelsaar, 73 Third su BACK TO MOUNTED PATROL SAM D. WHITE RETURN'S TO HIS OLD DUTY. He. Objected to Kay's Stool -Pigeon .Method and So Suffers for His Temerity. For criticising the methods of Acting Detective Kay. Sam D. White, for three weeks working as Kay s partner, nas been transferred back to mounted patrol duty. This is a rebuke, administered by Acting Chief of Police Gritxmecher. to please Mayor Lane. The latter is very fond .of Kay. has him In his office fre quently and Is said to approve of his tac tics In handling the job f driving the dis orderly women of the city into the vice quarter north of Burnalde and cast of Fifth street. When White was taken from the mount ed squad and placed in the secret service department, he greatly appreciated the change, but upon becoming aware of the fact that he was to work with Acting De tective Kay, he felt sorry h had been transferred, as he did not approve of Kay's methods of-handling raids and es pecially the use by-Kay of stool-pigeons. Acting Detective Kay and 1 hlte did not gel along well together, for In the first series of raids conducted by them White objected to the use of stool-pigeons. but acquiesced. As a result. Kay gt not oniy ntmseir but White tnto senoue trou ble by using H. L. McCahe. a 13-year-old boy. to go Into the Peerless House to se cure evidence. A sequel to this Is the probable arrests of Anti-Saloon League officers and Acting Detective Kay. What really caused Acting Tctoctlve White's transference back to uniform pa trol duty was a statement from him. pub lishcd in The Oregonlan. saying that he did not approve of sending McCabe Into the Peerless House. As this was a re flection upon Kay, Mayor Lane and Chief Gritzmachcrs favorite, the rebuke was administered. White has a firm friend in Captain of Detectives and Inspector of Police Bruin. who recommended White for special duty. Bruin had not long been in the depart ment when he recognized White ability and soon caused him to be placed In civil ian attire to do detective work. The only thing that hindered White in making a record for himself, Jt is said, was Acting .uetecuve Kay, who admits that he can not operate without stool-pigeons. Acting -Detective Kay is said to have planned a scries of raids, to be made soon. and a man who acted for Kay and Jones as a stool-pigeon in the Richards raid has been named as-a special for ten days u assist. Aay, JEWISH TEMPLES ABROAD Dr. A. S. Isaacs Delivers Illustrated Lecture at Temple Beth Israel. Dr. A. S. Isaacs, professor of German in the University of New York, gave a thoroughly instructive and Interesting lecture at Temple Beth Israel last night under tne auspices of that congregation ana Portland Lodge No. 415. I. O. B. B, Among the Synagogues Abroad" was the subject of Dr. Isaacs' discourse and he used about 100 lantern views to Illustrate the many beautiful temples built In varl ous European cities.

LOAN EXHIBITS FROM THE BRUSHES OF NOTED PAINTERS THE loan art exhibition which will open with a private reception at the Museum tonight, will be a reve lation to many of Portland's cltlzenswho j do not realize that fine examples of prac- i tically every school are owned by Indi viduals here. There are now hung in the Portland Art Association hulldlng at "Fifth and Taylor "Streets KS'palntlngs belonging to various art lovers of the city which would do credit to a much larger city and one nearer the large centers where art museums and fine collections are numerous and keep Interest alive. While many schools are represented In the ex hibit In question the many fine examples of the best American artists which are shown Is considered remarkable. Loans Cheerfully Made. The request of Miss Falling for a loan of fine paintings for exhibition purposes met with a prompt and generous re sponse, and. while the catalogue is closed and the pictures hung, it has been the means of discovering many treasures in the line of art which were not known of before, and which may be -exhibited at some future time. "Each day word comes to her of some rare' picture or collection owned by various Portlandcrs. and" It Is hoped that the' present exhibit may prove an Incentive to people who own fine ex amples to give the public an opportunity to enjoy them. "I do not think the fact that many really -fine examples of American and European art arc owned by Portlandcrs is generally appreciated." said Miss Fall ing yesterday in discussing the exhibition. "I picked up a book In the library the other day a new book on American art by Isham and Its initial illustration was a full-page photogravure of a painting by Arthur B. Davies which is owned by Mrs. Ladd." Corot Will Be Exhibited. "A'Corot belonging to W. M. Iadd is among the pictures which will be ex hibited, and It will, give visitors an un usual opportunity to view a very early example of this great artist's work. It is entitled "On the Hillside." and nas qual ities which his later work did not possess. Several very fine Homer Martins, .owned by T. B. Wilcox and Mr. Ladd. will be seen, and three Inncsses of 1876 will b appreciated by art lovers. These are owned by Miss Failing, who also had loaned a Michel, which was seen at the Exposition last Summer." Three pictures which will arouse much interest have been ,nt by A. Berg. They are old Flemish .pictures and will be much appreciated. One Is by Jan Gossart. an early 36th century artist, one has been accredited to Roger van der Weyden and the other to the Master of Female Half lengths. Bought by Portlandcrs. Several of the pictures which will be exhibited were In the gallery of fine arts at the Exposition, having been purchased by Portlandcrs.

THE "High School Girls" ouriesqucrs opened at the Baker yesterday, and presented one of the strongest bills yet riven this season. The costumes ana scenery formed an excellent setting for the ufual buffoon comedy work of some Tvniiv mniMtianiL At the head of the comedians are the two Fields Broth ers, billed as Nat and Sol, and these are also brothers of the celebrated Lew Fields, of Weber & Fields fame. They are the typical "long and short Dutch men," and every moment they were on the stage seerod to be a goiaen one wr that part of the audience that was "look inr fr iht laiirhiL" as the hardened old burlesque habitue would say. Most of the ideas were evidently from tne wcoer at Fields burlesaues. The olio contains several new and in teresting acts, the feature being the six flying Banvards, who were here with the pJlngling Bros, circus. They do a sen sational aerial act which Is one of the very best of Us kind ever een here. A novelty act of unusual merit was in troduced by Hughes and .Hazelton In their great travesty on Damon and Pyth ias. Hazelton is a fine legitimate actor, and his straight work was a revelation to the audience, while Hughes comedy made the act as bright and sparkling as the most exacting audience could wish. The bill ranks as one of the very best among the manj' good things shown at the Baker this season, and the theater-goers who miss seeing It will be losing -t good op portunity. New songs, pretty featured dances and an unusually bright, at trac tive chorus add to the general attrac tiveness of the production. It will con tinue all the week with matinee Wednes day and Saturday. AID SOCIETY'S WORK. Statistical 'Report of Boys and Girls Cared For.

The company which presents it is under the direction of W. E. Nankcville, and Is one of the most capable and evenly-balanced or ganizations seen at the Empire this season. Every role Is well taken and played with a thorough understanding of -the part that contributes to the per fection of the whole. "Human Hearts" is a play on the same order as "Shore Acres" and "The Old Homestead" and appeals to the same human emotions with the truth and honesty of I ts portrayals of char acter.

"Human Hearts" will hold the boards at the Empire the rest of the week with the usual matinees. NOT AFRAID OF ARREST Rcr. Clarence True Wilson Defends Anti-Saloon League. Dr. Clarence True Wilson, president of the State Anti-Saloon League, stated last night that he and Paul Rader, superin tendent of the same organization, were not afraid of any consequences that might follow their threatened arrest on com plaints which are expected to be made by members of the wholesale. Liquor Dealers Assoclaton, charging them with sending Herbert McCabe. a minor. Into the Peerless, a disreputable resort, to collect evidence. "It Is absolutely Im matcrlaj to me whether they cause war rants for our arrest to be Issued or not. I have not a word to say as to what our defense would be. We would not wish to make that public In advance." Speaking further of the matter Dr. Wilson said: "It ought to be known first that this man has not been employed to ferret out bad houses of the city, but to find out what saloonkeepers arc keeping the law. Next, that he did not say that he was only 13 years of age. He actu ally said:' 'Not quite of age Next, that this young man Is not a hireling In any way. but a young man of brilliant parts who has been making his own way in the world for three years and a half, and for more than a year and half has been studying law. What he does In the tem perance work Is done not as a hireling. but as a reformer -who Is giving hi life to the betterment of human conditions. Paul Rader asserted last night that he was unaware of any action relative to his arrest, except what he saw- In the news papers. He did not wish to make any statement bearing upon the subject. Steamer Bearer Given Trial Trip. The new river steamer Beaver, recently off the ways of the Portland shipbuild ing yards, was given her first trial run yesterday and gave every satisfaction.

HE RETURMS FROM SEATTLE W. W. COTTON TELLS OF ATPIjI CATIONS FOR FRANCHISES. Thinks City Imposes Oncrotis Condi tions for the Railroads In Building of Bridges. Attorney W. W. Cotton, of the Harri man roads, returned to Portland yester day after '-spending ten days in Seattle where he was engaged In working for a franchise over Whatcom and Railway avenues along which the proposed line of the Washington and Northern ' desires to enter Seattle. Tho matter has not yet been settled and Mr. Cotton will return to Seattle today or tomorrow to continue the negotiations. The street over which the Harriman lines has applied for a franchise runs along the water front and is recog nized as a desirable thoroughfare for that purpose. Besides the Washington and Northern, franchises over tho same street have-be:n requested fcy the North ern pacinc. Great Northern and untcago. Milwaukee & St. Paul. The corporation committee of the City Council has ex pressed a willingness to let the lines use the street In common, traversing It over four tracks, but has provided certain con ditions that the railroads have not yet agreed to meet. The matter hinges upon a request that has been made by the city, that in return for the franchises the railroad companies agree to build, upon future demand by the city, five bridges at various points along Fourth avenue, extending to the water front and spanning the Intervening low lands. The transportation companies have contended that this demand Is ex cessive and have attempted to compro mise by agreeing to construct three bridges Instead of five. This proposition was, rejected Saturday. The matter will come up ror turtner consiaerauon. at . meeting of the corporation committee or tho Citr Council tomorrow. In the mean time engineers are engaged figuring out the probable cost of the proposed oridges and other details. IS THE SAILOR TO BLAME? When tho Sailor Boardlng-Houso Runner la Not Punished. PORTLAND. Feb. 23. (To the Editor.) Th recent communication of Consul Laldlaw and your rejoinder that better conditions for ship ping sailors will not obtain in this or any other port until the- "reincarnation of the sailor," calls to my mind the trial of. one James White, who, I understand, is yet con ducting a sailor boarding-bouse in this city, some three or four years ago. This trial was before Judge Frazer. Mr. Manning waa then ji now State's Attorney, and White- was convicted and sentenced to one year In the penitentiary. Tho crime was preventing by assault (shanghaing) three sailors from ship ping on a vessel to which, they had contracted and kidnaping one of them and taking him out of the state. I was on the jury, and these three sailor wero honest-looking lads and evinced their Intelligence and self-reliance by tbelr conduct and testimony. They took care of themselves while la this port and undertook to ship Independent of the boarding-bouse, and were prevented by the de fendant White, as aforesaid, one of them be ing roughly handled and Injured. Now here Is good evidence that It Is not always the sailor "reincarnation" that I necefeary. but that of those responsible for the existence of sailor boarding-houses; protected In the commission ot crime. These young men tried to act In the manner. I suppose, you mean by the "reincarnation of the sailor," and they found It loipocnlblA by the strength ot the fortification thrown around a criminal Insti tution and practice by Influences In this city, of which they knew nothing and could not be responsible for. A little reincarnation of politicians and officials would go further toward- removing this aged abure than that of the natlor. The serving of his sentence by WTJlte would have acted as a deterrent. In stead of that they have been encouraged by political protection and legal and official de fense. Jurlea and the jury system are ani madverted against, while the decisions of Jurltrt, obtained at great expense and which would redound to the public good, are set at naught by such absurd delays as In this c?uv, where the man is permitted to run at large and continue his criminal career on an appeal to the Supreme Court pending three vears or more. Tho sailor In not the one needing reincar nation so much as those in whose hands htn fate la placed. No more than the parents and the homes whose poor fame suffers so much at the bands of the public censors are responsible for all the fountain and streams of vice polluting cities. Why do they not exist amid the country homes? Simply be cause the country has no system to- protect them. And just as young people In the clty are exposed to systematic and law-protected vice, so Is the mllor the victim of a system with whleh his character bis nothing to do.
