Conferkncb CLOSES. The Oregon, Con
ference of the United Brethren Church
closed its work yesterday at the Clover
dale Church, with several largely at
tended meetings. Bishop Barkley
preached at 11 o'clock A. M., the church
being filled ti utmost capacity. Another
meeting was held in the afternoon and
In the evening, the entire day being prac
tically taken up. This branch of the
United Brethren family professes to hold
to the original faith and principles, and
declares it is not a small offshoot from
the main body. The First United Breth
ren Church of Portland is a member of
the other branch. The Clovcrdale branch
holds to the articles excluding members
of secret societies and the other branch
admits them. In other respects there Is
no difference In name or doctrine.
Canadian Thistles Spread. The Can
adian thistles have gained a wide foot
hold in Oregon and will require a con-,
certed effort to eradicate, according to
Grant B. Dimick, County Judge of Clack
amas. Judge LMmlck was at Estacada
and had in his possession samples of Can
adian thistles which he had found at
several places along the line of the O.
W. P. road. He found -enough of the
pest at Haley, on the O. W. P. line, to
stock the whole country. The law in re
gard to Canaan thistles authorizes the
County Court to notify property-owners
to destroy the thistles, and In case of
failure the Road Supervisor is empowered
to proceed with the work of destruction
at the expense of the property.
Funeral op a Veteran. The funeral
of James Conner, a veteran of the Civil
War, was held yesterday afternoon from
the parlors of Zeller-Byrnes on Russell
street, and the interment was in Green
wood Cemetery. He was born April 16,
1836, at Mount Hope, Grange County, N.
y. Mr. Conner was a member of Lincoln-Garfield
Post, No. 16, G. A. R., and
Ivan hoe Lodge, No. 1, K. of P. He was
a private in Company G, Ninety-fifth
Regiment, Illinois Volunteer Infantry,
and Reserved Corps Company G, Fourth
Regiment, during the Civil War. Many
members of Portland posts attended the
services.
Mayor Valentinjb Kxpkcttzd to Win. '
Mayor Valentine Is expected to win in
the controversy over his appointment to
the Postmastership of St. Johns, even it
there Bhould be an investigation. His
opponents will be under obligation to
show that he is not a fit man for the
appointment, which could not be done. It
Is thought the protests that have been
filed have delayed the issuing of his com
mission, but there Is no certainty that
this is the case. Mayor Valentine for
warded his bonds some time ago, and it
probably takes time to ascertain If they
are satisfactory.
Bodt Will Bb Cremated. James K.
Banister, the lineman who was electro
cuted Saturday afternoon near the City
Hall, will be cremated this afternoon at
the Portland Crematorium. Coroner Fin
ley after Interviewing witnesses to the

necessary. The funeral will be held from
the undertaking parlors this afternoon.

FIRE IN MILWAUKIE HOTEL
Historic Landmark Haa Narrow Es
cape From Destruction.
, The historic Milwaukie Hotel, built 64
years ago, caught fire Friday evening
ana came near being destroyed, but the
fire was discovered In time, and with the
aid of the volunteer Are department. It
was extinguished before It got under
much headway. Charles Ballard, editor
of the Milwaukie Bee, which occupies the
nrst noor oi the building, had filled his
stove with some old papers, with the
result that the soot In the chimney
caught fire and the flames communicated
to the rafters. A crowd quickly gath
ered with ladders, buckets and hose. A
hole was cut In the roof, and the Are
soon was put out There was no wind,
or the building, with the others in the
block, would probably have been de
stroyed. This building Is one of the remaining
historic landmarks In the state. It was
put up In 1S52, and was then the largest
structure In Oregon outride of Salem.
For a time the Bishop Scott Grammar
School occupied It, before the school was
moved to Portland. While boating was
lively on the Willamette River the old
hotel building waa the gathering point
of the pioneers for festivities of various
sorts, from both Portland and points
along the river, and most of the living
pioneers remember the dances and social
functions of those days on the third floor
of the Milwaukie HoteL It has stood
through, the more than half-century of
Oregon progress, -watching the passing of
the steamboat era and the coming of the
railways, reaching down from the time
when Milwaukie was a rival of Fort
land. HAS PRAISE FOR OREGON
Northern Pacific's General Immi
gration Agent Here.
C. W. Mott, of St. Paul, general Immi
gration agent of the Northern Paclflo
Railway, Is a guest at the Hotel Port
land, accompanied by Mrs. Mott and their
son. They arrived yesterday from Tel
lowstone Park. Mr. Mott Is on his an
nual vacation.
"I am not paying much attention to Im
migration Just now," ' he said last eve
ning, "having come here purely to rest
and see the city. To visit the Paclflo
Coast and not stop In Portland would be
like going to Rome, and not seeing the
Pope."
The immigration agent is a great ad
mirer of the National Park and nature
herself everywhere. . "'Some people visit
art galleries and go abroad to listen, to
French, and all that sort of thing," he
says, "but when I want to take a real
rest I get out among the hills, the val
leys, the trees and live where man was
made to live."
Mr. Mott 1b an enthusiast about Oregon.
Later he forgot that he was on his vaca
tion and .began to talk about this state
and the Immigration.
"It is marvelous, the wonderful devel
opment of this part of the country," he
said. "I have been in this immigration
business a good many years, watched the
states and the people, and every tim- I
come out here I am more astonished titan
ever before at the rapid progress every
where. One fact about this great North
west is that when the people come here
to live they are generally satisfied. When
a man settles out here he's usually here
for life. I would rather have one satis
fied man In my territory than a hundred
dissatisfied ones. The man who is not
contented will keep 15 people away, where
the one who Is happy will average to In
duce five friends to come here and live."
Mr. Mott thinks more of the Yellow
stone Park than any other place in the
world. Whenever he gets tired on the
road or at his office in St. Paul he runs
over to the park, remains a few days and
goes back to resume his task feeling like
a new man. He has been to the park so
many times that he has no idea of the
number of visits he has made to the fa
mous resort.
"I had the pleasure of seeing The Ore
gonian contest party during my last trip
through the park," he continued, "and t
must say that I admired every one of the
girls. I never saw a better appearing set
of girls, and their conduct was perfect. I
heard their yell about Portland and Ore
gon so often that I know It by heart The
girls, every one of them, were certainly
a loyal crowd. Hundreds of tourists saw
the contest girls, and I heard nothing but
compliments for the entire party. My re
gards to The Oregonian girls."
Mr. Mott will remain In Portland sev
eral days before returning to St Paul.

BIG CROWD HEARS CONCERT
Band Renders an Interesting Pro
gramme at City Prk.
The band concert In the City Park
yesterday afternoon was enjoyed by an
immense crowd, whose number would
be difficult to estimate. Every avail
able seat within a large radius of the
bandstand was occupied, and hundreds
stood in the shade or rested on the
grass under tho trees. The crowd was
ever changing, some coming, some go
ing and somo sitting, quietly listening.
But it was all the same to Director
Charles L. Brown and his faithful mu
sicians.' They made music, and noted
not what the crowd did. A very In
teresting programme was rendered,
much to the credit of the City Park
Band and its able leaders.

BLOOD-THIRSTY NEGRO CLEANS
OUT A FIRST-STREET SALOON
Patrons, Bouncers and Bartenders Flee' From Enraged
African With Long Knife.
SB a Kentucky nigger, an' Tse
sure grwln to carve somebody's
gizzard out," was the startling saluta
tion that greeted the patrons of
Blaster's First-street saloon yesterday
afternoon, and a glance at the in
dividual who delivered the threatening
remark caused a kasty stampede for the
regions Immediately beyond the confines
of the barroom. The startling aspect that
greeted the eyes of the thirsty spirits
ranged along the bar was the person of
Archie Avery, a husky colored gentle
man about S feet Inches tall, and In
his sinewy right hand was grasped a
long knife, which served to instill a
sudden desire to run into the hearts of
all the ex-prizefighters, barroom bouncers
and hangers-on who had congregated
there for their regular Sunday afternoon
gabfest and drinking bout The way they
piled out of the doors of the place, seek
ing safety on nearby avenues out of
reach of the threatening knife, backed
up by the 200 pounds or more of negro
brawn, would have' put the Russian re
treat before Nogl to shame.
The patrons of the house simply beat
the sklddoo sign clear oft, the boards,
and while they were piling helter-skelter
over each other in the effort to reach
the street, the swarthy Mr. Avery was
delivering himself of the most blood
thirsty speeches that had ever fell on
the ears of any of those within hearing
distance.

waiters Joined with the crowd in its mad
endeavor to gain the street or -secure a

OREGON LAWS COMPEL COUSINS TO SEEK ADJOINING
STATE IN ORDER TO WED
BAN W. IABPLET.
Dan W. Tarplsy, who created somewhat of a sensation last Saturday afternoon
by going over to Vancouver, Wash., and marrying Miss Mabel Pike, of Portland,
expects to take up his residence In this city with his bride, and with that object
In view lias mad arrangements to secure a cozy cottage In some nice residence

Testerday the newly wedded couple were made the recipients of many congrat
ulations from a large circle of friends and acquaintances, who wished them a
bappy voyage over the seas of matrimony.
It develops that the contracting parties are first cousins, and under ttie stat
utes of Oregon such Unions are prohlbltsd; consequently it became necessary for
the happy couple to seek the jurisdiction of some neighboring state where the
laws are not quite so stringent la this regard.
said Judge Thomas O'Day, chief counsel
for the defense in the land-fraud case
now pending in the United States District
Court before Judge Hunt, while review
ing the situation with The Oregonian last
night " ,
"Just what the nature of that evidence
will be I do not care to disclose at this
time, but it is a certainty that we shall
place witnesses on the stand to testify in
behalf of the defendants."
This promises to be a busy week In land
fraud circles. Not only will the prestnt
case last several days longer, in all prop
ability, but this afternoon State Senator
F. P. Mays will be brought before Judge
Hunt, under an order issued Beveral days
ago, directing him to appear for examina
tion in open court touching his physical
ability to withstand trial
His case was set tor 10 o'clock tomor
row morning, at the time the calendar
was made up, but W. D. Fenton, his at
torney, has already served notice updn
Francis J. Heney, special assistant to the
Attorney-General, that his client is too 111
to appear for trial on the date specified
and that he will move for a continuance
at the first opportunity.
Under indictment No. 2887, returned by
the Federal grand Jury December 28, 1904,
Mays is charged Jointly with S. A. D. Pu
ter, Horace G. McKinley, Marie L. Ware,
Emma L. Watson. E. W. Tarpley and
ing retreats the dusky giant turned his
attention to the diminutive swamper, who
happened to be of his own race and
color, and who had sought safety In one
of the balcony boxes, which retreat was
out of reach of the warlike invader for
the reason that he knew not the ways
of the place and could not find the en
trance which would bring him within
striking distance of his victim.
From their respective positions the
sons of sunny Africa hurled defiance at
each other, the little fellow being espe
cially vituperative when he found that
his husky opponent was not likely to
reach him. While they were engaged in a
strong wordy war. Patrolmen John Price,
James Anderson and Frank Hart arrived
on the scene with the patrol wagon in
response to a hurried telephone message.
The dense throng which had congre
gated in the street in front of Avery's
temporary fort cautioned the officers not
to venture in the place, as the man was
believed to be crazy and would kill the
first man who entered the barroom.
Nothing daunted. Patrolman Anderson
led the way and with drawn guns the
officers pushed open the doors, and ad
vanced upon their quarry. Before he was
aware of it, Anderson had the knife from
his grip, and thus disarmed the hitherto
bloodthirsty negro was exceedingly tract
able and Patrolmen Price and Hart led
him to the wagon as meek as a lamb.
In his hasty fight one of the bartenders
left one of the beer, taps open and an
entire keg of the "thirsty water" ran out
on the fioor.
Avery was locked up and will have a
chance to explain his unseemly behavior
before Judge Cameron this morning.
Robert Simpson, with a violation of sec
tion 5440 of the United States Revised
Statutes, In having conspired to defraud
the Government out of title to Us public
lands in township 24 south, range 1 aemu
Willamette Meridian. It is believed that
"Robert Simpson'" is a mythical person,
his name having been forged by Horace
G. McKinley.
In view of the fact that Binger Hermann
will not be tried here until after his case
at Washington, J. C, has been disposed
of, it is conceded that the most important
of any that will come before the Federal
tribunal this year is the one where Mays
Is made a co-defendant with S. A. D. Pu
ter, and which it is expected the examJife
tlon in court this afternoon will deter
mine whether it shall proceed to imme
diate trial or not
In his confession to the Government,
made soon after his conviction in Decem
ber, 1904. Puter Is alleged to have impli
cated Mays in numerous " deals of un
savory character affecting the acquisition
of the public domain, and it is known that
the arch-conspirator of the land-fraud
fraternity, who is now serving a two
years' sentence in the Multnomah County
Jail for some of his misdeeds, Is anx
iously awaiting his chance of evening up
the score on the witness stand for Mays'
Ingratitude In deserting him during his
hour of trouble. For this reason it is be
lieved that the approaching trial will bs
filled with sensational details, and that,
on account of the chief defendant's polit
ical and social standing locally, it will
attract more attention than any of ths
others.
Under charge of George Humphrey, bail
iff of the Federal Court, and Deputy Unl-
ted States Marshal Clyde R. Nicholson,

against Henry W. Miller, Trank E. Kin

day at Fstacada.

Whereat State Senator "Doc" G. B.)
Wright, of Yamhill, Lincoln and Tilla
mook Counties, antl-Hodson chief, swung
himself aboard the Jefferson-street train
for his home In McMinnvllle. He was
quite sure the foes of Hodson, Multnomah
candidate for President of the Senate,
had neither got together nor yet planned
a campaign.
A little while later State Senator H W.
Haines, of Washington County, another
antl-Hodson deader, echoed the same sen
timent, as he pulled himself up on a
Fourth-street train for tla home in For
est Grove.
And it was the opinion of both that
there would be "nothing doing" until the
foes of the Multnomah man could settle
on one candidate for their- united support

his enemies will not be able to agree,
any more than could the enemies of Bin
ger Hermann, who was nominated in Eu
gene in 1903 In spite of them, although all
of them together had more votes in the
convention than he, and once had him so
far down and out that he gave up the
fight and hied to his hotel, where George
Brownell, chairman of the convention.
preceded him and told him how it all
happened.
Can the men who want someone else
than tho Multnomah candidate agree?
This Is what Dr. Wright and Mr. Haines
would like to know, and they had their
heads together over it yesterday. But
like a conference held two weeks ago be
tween Senators Haines and Wright, Gil
liam, of Sherman, and Wheeler and
Whealdon, of Wasco, it was barren of
fruit
Senator Haines Is one of the aspirants;
so is Senator Whealdon, and likewise
Senator Malarkey, of Multnomah. Then,
too, a boomlet has been started for Sena
tor Hart, of Malheur, Harney and Baker.
To nominate in Republican i caucus 13
votes will be required, and to elect on
the floor of the Senate, 16.
'Are there 18 antl-Hodson votes?" re
sponded Senator Wright "Yes, and
more; by actual count 16 up to date, and
there are more to be heard from," but
he did not go so far as to give their
names.
"They ought to te getting busy soon,"
went on the Senator, who would rather
not let things go on taking care of them
selves, as they have been doing. "Things
look better than two years ago," he ex
plained, adverting to the hot fight which
was made against Kuykendall for Presi
dent, whose political successor Is Hod
son. "But too many want the Job; they
ought to be like me; I wouldn't have it"
The candidacies of Haines and Malarkey
are giving considerable concern to the
anti-Hodson men, for neither seems will
ing to unite with the other for the sake
of helping the other out Malarkay will
not vote for Hodson, nor will Haines,
and each has a boom of his own, which
the Hodson forces are expecting to clash
when the fight shall grow thick.

THIRST DESTROYS BRAIN TIS
SUE, DECLARES LECTURER.
Eminent Student of. Physiology and
Effects of Drink Habit Gives In
teresting Talk at X. M. C. A.
Dr. John Madden, an eminent and life
long student of physiology, especially the
effect of alcohol on the human system,
lectured to a fair-sized and appreciative
audience of men at the Y. M. C. A.
auditorium yesterday afternoon on the
subject of "Alcohol and Brains." .
Dr. Madden began his lecture by giv
ing a short history of the American
Medical Association for the Study of the
Effects of Alcohol, which was formed In
1372 and meets each year with the Amer
ican Medical Association. He is a mem
ber of the committee on hygienic in
struction In the public schools and he
spoke highly of the work of Mrs. Hunt,
of Boston, and of the attitude of the
medical men of Great Britain toward
the teaching in the publla schools of the
effects of alcohol upon the human sys
tem. "Largely owing to Mrs. Hunt's work,"
said Dr. Madden, "the teaching of the
effects of alcohol is compulsory in every
state in this Union."
Coming to his subject he propounded
the question, "Is alcohol a stimulant?"
"No substance which does more In
Jury as a whole than It does good can be
regarded as a stimulant" was his answer.
To prove that alcohol is not a true
stimulant he quoted from some eminent
medical writers, referred to the results
of experiments on 1350 people, and Illus
trated by diagrams of these experiments
and of brain cells treated with alcohol.
"The effect of alcohol upon brain cells
is to destroy the protoplasm," he contin
ued. "It may be only partial or it may
be so complete as to destroy them com
pletely. Alcohol destroys the protoplasm
by burning out the oxygen from the tis
sues. This condition is most marked in
brain tissue."
Dr. Madden gave some Interesting fig
ures about the consumption of alcohol.
showing that English people were the
heaviest drinkers. Germans next and
Americans third. He referred to some
Swedish army tests showing that total
abstainers showed 30 per cent more rap
idity and 60 per cent more accuracy in
rifle practice than those slightly under
alcoholic influence. He referred to the
outcome of the Russo-Japanese War as
a powerful temperance argument the
Japanese being a very temperate people
and the r Russians great drinkers. He
prophesied that some other people prob
ably not Caucasians, who were not under
the alcoholic curse, would inherit the
earth. In closing he said: "
"We need tell nothing but the truth
about alcohol. I believe the greatest
question now before the people is the
liquor question. There Is no disease
known to medical men which cannot be
mors successfully treated without tne use

Vicker, the pastor. He spoke from 1
Corinthians 111:15. "If a man's works shall
be burnt he shall suffer loss, but he him
self shall be saved; yet so as by fire."
He said that the Apostle Paul in this
part of his letter was addressing the
weak believers. He termed voa babes,
and thus endeavors to spur them on to
higher, purer and holier life. Passing on
Rev. McVicker said in part:
"The natural Inclination of man Is to
fcave everything he does bring him per
manent profit; and there is nothing
wrong in this, for God has taught us
that we shall receive a reward for our
life's work, according to the nature of it;
if evil. It will bring forth an eternity
of regrets. But if it be a life of work
under the instructions of God's word and
the leadings of the Holy Spirit, God
has promised to guide into all truth and
Joy forevermore.
"This text teaches that man may put
forth all efforts In labor, yet when the
life Is completed all the accumulations
of that life Is destructible and will pass
away In smoke; and yet he may be saved
as by fire.
"Permit me to lead your minds and
eyes back to some of the connecting links
of the text. Verses 13 and IS read: 'Now,
if any man build upon this foundation,
gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay,
stubble; every man's work shall be made
manifest.'
"This teaches us that it Is the material
things of our work and not the spiritual
which are consumed by fire; or the chil
dren of God who bestow too much of
their affections In their professed Chris
tian life In building on the foundation
on gold, silver and other perishable things
of this world, hoping that they will bring
them joy in another world, but will be
disappointed and saved as by fire.
"But this scripture does not say that
he who lives in rebellion to God and all
that is rood shall be saved with a loss
of his work only. If this were the case
It would do violence to the principles of
the doctrines of Christ. For this being
the case, each might go out in his own
way to follow his own Inclinations, yet
the works would be destroyed and they
be saved."
ALLOTS IRRIGATION FUND
Hitchcock Gives Preference to Most
Advanced Projects.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, July 21. The Secretary of the In
terior has adjusted the allotments of tne
reclamation fund in accordance with re
cent estimates from the General Land Of
fice as to the probable amount of this
fund during the next two years. The
fundamental principle has been to allot
the fund to the projects where the work
Is now furthest advanced, and where re
turns to the fund may be expected In the
near future.
The surveys and examinations already
made show that at least tl00.000.000 could
be used to advantage In various parts of
the arid West. The total fund which will
be available from the proceeds of sale of
Dublic land for the years 1S01-08 is esti
mated by the General Land Office to be a
little over $41,000,000. In order, therefore,
to continue the work. It is necessary that
this money, or as much of it as possible.
be invested in works which will begin to
yield returns to the fund at the earliest
possible date, so that the money may br
used over again as soon as possible for
the construction of other works.
In several ot the projects a number of
years must elapse before the works will be
completed. Bucn projects wm not De rev
enue-producing for some years. On the
other hand, in Nevada the work has ad
vanced to a point where upwards of 60,000
acres are already under irrigation, an
revenue may be expected soon from this
area. Other projects are nearing com
pletion, and every possible effort is being
made to finish these so that they may
begin to repay the cost.
The allotments as reoently approved by
the Secretary of the Interior now stand
as follows:
