THE MORNING OEEGONI AN, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1906. 11 LATH IS INFERIOR I! Directors Inspect Material Used in New Sunny side School. PRESENT ROOF CONDEMNED Contractor Bennett Ordered to Re place It and to Tear Out Other. Unsatisfactory Work Con ference Is Amicable. , For Jh first time- In many- moons, the Board of Education and J. E. Ben nett, the contractor, met in conference yesterday afternoon and parted -without a hair-pulling contest. Dtie meet- 5HENGL ARE BAD PROMINENT METHODIST CLERGYMEN WHO WILL TAKE PART IN THE CONFERENCE V A -f. Y l r . . A It ' A i I J . Kev. T. B. Ford. lng was so amicable, in fact, that Ben nett and Directors I. N. Fleischner and Herman Wittenberg, constituting a smelling committee, sent out to inspect the work being done by Bennett on the two-story addition to the Sunnyside School, perched in a row on the ridge pole of that edifice and allowed them selves to be photographed like the happy family in the old-style zjbo. The two directors went out to scoff, and it cannot truth fully be said that they remained o praise, but their scoffing was not of the ill-natured va riety and, barring the fact that Con tractor Bennett would not promise to rip out about half the lath in the still unplastered building and put belter shingles on the roof, there were signs of an early compromise between Mr. Bennett and the Board. It is not to be denied that flurlng their inspection of the new building the directors, especially Mr. Witten berg, said some exceedingly disagree able things about the material enter ing into the structure, and also crifl cised minor details of the workman ship, but they laughed when they did It and like the Owen Wistar's cowboy. Contractor Bennet could not resent the hard names. Inspectors Risk Life and Limb. Accompanied by T. J. Jones, architect for the School Board; Alexander Muir, whom they took along as an expert, and several newspaper reporters, who Joined the expedition as war corre spondents, Mr. Fleischner, Mr. JVltten berg and Mr. Bennett climbed unfin ished stairways, scaled shaky ladders and risked their necks puttering around on slippery roofs, 30 feet from the ground, in order to inspect, piece by piece, the inferior material alleged to have been used by the contractor. The directors chalked bad shingles on the roof until, at a little distance, it resembled in color the promenade deck of a strawberry roan cayuse; then when they were weary they posed for a snap-shot by a newspaper camera fiend. Later they descended to safer elevations and disparaged the quality of the lath used by the contractor. Their complaints finally simmered SENIOR BISHOP OF M. E. CHURCH COMES TO ATTEND CONFERENCE Henry White Warren a Living Exemplar of Theory That Religion Is - Good for the Whole Man. BY ARTHUR A. GREENE. WHEN Bishop Henry White Warren told me last night that he had been in the Methodist ministry since 1S55, the information came with something almost like a shock. Fifty-one years is a long time to have been a Methodist and an extraordinarily extend ed term of service a a preacher of the Gospel according to Wesley, or any other faith. Christian or pagan. Yet here was a dapper, youngish-old man, erect of car riage and springy of step, alert, bright eyed and enthusiastic, who could not be much over 60, calmly telling me he had been an ordained minister for 51 years. I flippantly asked him if he hadn't started as an infant prodigy, but the bishop smiled his wonderfully winning smile and denied the soft impeachment. . When Rev. Mr. Ford introduced me to him, I felt that I had been misinformed for somebody had told me he was an old man, a voritable patriarch of Methodism, and I expected to find him leaning on a cane. Instead, he looked no older than Mr. Ford, whose father he might be. But st looked him up in Who's Who, after wardv and found that he will be 76 next January. So the foremost lmpreeslon one gets of Bishop Warren is his remarkable grip on the years which have passed over him. His beard Is only sprinkled with gray and his hair has no touch of silver. His face has few lines and there is no hint of old age in his voice. In general ap pearance he suggests Senator Teller, of Colorado, as Teller was 15 years ago. Dr. Warren is senior bishop of hte church and as the head of a denomina tion which shows a membership of more than 3,000,000 he is a notable ecclesiastical figure. He was elected in 1SS0 and during the past 26 years has vieited the utter most parts of the earth, directing, (nanc ing, encouraging the weak and preaching to those who live in darkness. He is an orator of attainments and 'a writer of wide reputation. He Impresses one as be ing a thorough student of men and books. X genial religionist who takes the health donsn to these two items and they In formed Bennett that if he would re shingle the roof with "Star A Star" shingles, as called for in the specifica tions, and rip out all lath sawed from unseasoned, mildewed and discolored sapwood, all else would be forgiven In the interest of a. speedy completion of the contract. "Quit Bluffing," Says Wittenberg. They pointed out to . him that his attention had been called to the In ferior materials when they were put into the building, and Mr. Wittenberg vehemently argued that the game was up and that Mr. Bennett "niigHWas well be good, quit bluffing' and do as the Board directed. Contractor Muir also made a little speech. In which he stated that while the roof undoubtedly was not up to specifications and much of the- lath used was inferior, Mr. Bennett- had substantially complied with the speci fications in all other respects. He wanted the newspapers to say so, he added. Architect Jones took a hand in the oratorical game, too, and kicked off and dissected with - his jackknife a square yard of the much-maligned latta in order to illustrate his point, which was that the discoloration in the lath would in course of time work out through the plaster and give It a gen eral resemblance to Joseph's coat of many colors. Mr. Bennett demurred, but his demurrer was overruled in stanter. About- half the lath in the building are more or less subject to the criticism made by Architect Jones. Mr. Bennett claimed that if any poor material had gone into the building It had been used without his knowledge nd with the knowledge or the Boards Rev. F. -Burgette Short. building Inspector, but reserved his decision as to what course he would pursue in the matter of making changes. He has the option of making the changes ordered or completing the building without doing so and suing the Board for the money. Want the Work Hastened. The Board's object in trying to reach some definite agreement with him is to secure the early completion of the three new school additions which he has contracted to build, and which are urgently needed to relieve overcrowd ing in the schools. Unofficially, it is stated that Bennett took the contracts too cheap and stands to lose several thousand dollars on the Sunnyside School alone. The contract price is between J12.000 and J13.000. Alexander McLeod, building inspec tor for the School Board, yesterday de nied in presence of Bennett that he had ever allowed any of the bad material to go in without objection, and stated that on the contrary, he had invariably called the attention of the conractor's foreman to such material "before it was used. , McLeod's statement is borne out by the fact that Fred Envoldson, Bennett's foreman at the new Twenty-eighth-street school, was discharged by Ben nett last night for refusing, as En voldson claimed, to sign written statement that the shingles used on that building had been inspected and approved by McLeod at the time they were laid. . Following Envoldson's discharge 14 workmen employed under him quit, and the trouble threatens to tie up en tirely constructive work on the three new schools. Little work was being done by Bennett before this . latest trouble. New Harvard' Medical Buildings. BOSTON', Sept. 25. The magnificent new buildings of the Harvard medical school were dedicated here today. This group of beautiful white marble build ings is the largest single addition to the resources of Harvard ih the history of the university. ful view of things temporal and spiritual. He smiles his Christianity. His work has made an optimist of him. He has grown old so gracefully that the hope and enthusiasm of youth still abide with with him. He is a living exemplar of the theory that religion Is good for the whole man. He has visited Oregon a number of times and is in close touch with Meth odism here. Although a Massachusetts Yankee, he has lived in Denver since '83, and Is in thorough sympathy with the West. His present visit is to at tend the Oregon annual conference, which begins its sessions this morn ing. "What have you to say in answer to the statement frequently made that we are becoming an Irreligious peo ple?" I asked him. "Just this," said, the Bishop, ' "The Methodist Church gained 75,000 mem bers last year and will make an in crease of 100,000 this year.. We are ordaining about 1000 ministers every year, and are spending $1,500,000 every 12 months. That statement is posi tively untrue. All the churches are growing, and the spirit o,f Christianity Is stronger now than ever before. No man whose heart and soul are right has reason to fear that faith is fail ing." Bishop Warren was born in 1831, and ordained in 1855. He was a pastor in Boston, New York and other leading cities, for years, and has '"field - chairs in a number of leading church schools. He has devoted much attention to as tronomy, and is considered an author ity on the subject, having written a number of books pertaining to it and numberless articles for the magazines and newspapers. He has also found time to. write several works on re ligious subjects, which: rank high for literary excellence. . This young-old bishop is one of the glories of his church, and Justly so, for he is a strong, man, a good man; and one of the best examples of the beauties of right living I have ever met. K f ' W i r i 1 j FIRST BUSINESS ' SESSION' TODAY Oregon Methodist Conference Will Open in Big Tent -at Sunnyside. GATHERING IS IMPORTANT Much Business Will Come Vp Be fore Session, Which Will Con tinue Until Next Monday. Today's Programme. Beginning at 8:30 this morning, the first business session of the Oregon Methodist Episcopal Conference will convene in the big tent at East Yam hill and Thirty-fitth streets. Bishop Rev. D. A. Watters. Henry W. Warren, of Illinois, arrived yesterday afternoon, and will preside over the sessions, which will continue until next Monday morning. Among the most prominent ministers who arrived early yesterday were Rev. M. C. Wire, presiding elder of the Eu gene district; Dr. McDougall. of Al bany, and Dr. Driver, of Tangent. It Is expected that every representative will be present at the first session, a few belated ones arriving this morning on the early trains. In many respects the Methodist Con ference will be the most Important of any similar convention held in Port land during the present year. While it represents a distinctive state organ ization,, it is nevertheless only an in tegral -part of a great unit. Members of the conference, coming from very point in Western Oregon, represent more than 15,000 members of the church, and a Sunday-school member ship of nearly as many more. The church property of the district will foot up fully $500,000, the pastors in charge numbering more than 100. v Pastorates Will Make Reports. Each of the Western Oregon pastor ates will make report of its standing in numbers, moneys received and paid out. The reports will show all gains or losses, both numerically and finan cially, together with a statement of needs and the outlook for the coming year. The business of the conference has been accurately mapped out for the six days it will remain in session. Each detail will be taken up with precision, leaving nothing undone, from a con sideration of minor church troubles to the greatest of all questions pertaining to the welfare of the society at large. Actual conference business will be transacted at every morning session. In the afternoon the various deraonl- national interests will be attended to and will be given special hours. These Interests will cover home and foreign missions, freedmen's aid, church exten sion and provision for superannuated ministers. Eastern secretaries of church boards will also present the causes and claims of their various organizations. The evenings will be principally de voted to sermons and religious exer olses by prominent ministers of the conference, they having been previous ly chosen for the occasion by the pre- sicung Disnop. So far as known, there are no serious grievances to come up for settlement. No church dissensions or scandals will be gone over and given publicity to the world. The session promises to be one of business for the church in Oregon, with unanimity and harmony prevail ing. Organize to Extend Work. Among the most important piece's of church legislation will be the organ ization of a campaign to extend the work into new fields. In a growing state, this work is always needed as new settlements are being made in mi MAKES Do You Believe in Signs ?
