"Gift of Tongues" Gains
Foothold at Los Angeles.

Scriptural Language.
IX3 ANGELES, Cal., Oct. 21. (Special.)
Six months ago a frenzied, religious
dobauch. known as the "Gift. of Tongues"
truck Los Angalesv and up to this time
has enmeshed approximately 800 people.
The rapid growth of the movement prom
ises to result In the formation here of the
nucleus of a wide-spread cult. The lead
ers are now planning missionary Inva
sions of other cities.
The sect founds Its beliefs and demon
strations upon the Becond chapter of the
AoU of the Apostles wherein it Is told
that there descended upon the 12 apostles
cloven tongues of Are giving them the
power to speak with other tongues. The
sift of prophecy and the power of healing
are also asserted.
Meetings are held dally In at least
three places of gathering In Los Angeles.
All-day and all-night sessions are fre
quent ana In each meeting the main fea
ture is the holding forth In "unknown
tongues" by the more devout members.
Whites and Blacks Mixed.
The largest membership of the cult Is
Bow found in what Is known as the
Axusa Mission, In the negro quarter, and
Is composed about equally of whites and
blsoks. Another branch has practically
disrupted the First New Testament
Church, founded by the Rev. Joseph
Smile, and has captured some of the staid,
smart business men of this city.
The Rev. Joseph Smale was at one time
pastor of a leading Baptist Church.
During his pastorate a split occurred and
a number of the wealthier members with
drew under the leadership of Robert J.
Burdette. the famous humorist-minister.
Rmale's faction ultimately became the
First New Testament Church. Smale
visited the scenes of the great Welch
revival and came back to Los Angeles
Imbued with revival fervor. During his
scries of revival services the "Gift of
Tongues" gained a foothold In spite of his
opposition and caused another split.
In the People's Church. Sixth and
Mateo streets, presided over by Rev. T.
C. Atterbury, believers in the "Gift of
Tongues" have attained an ascendancy
over the pastor and here. also, disap
proval of the movement by the stalder
members has caused a ; split. Rev. Mr.
Atterbury has some of his own money
Invested In the church property, and at
a compromise he has retired with his
followers to an upper floor, while the
members who prefer services in English
hold forth below.
Nicknamed "Tunglfd Tonguers."
The pastors in general throughout the
city are not taking kindly to the growth
of the "Tangled Tonguers." as they are
called by scoffers, and nearly every Sun
day some minister speaks against the de
fection from the statdor paths of religion.
The Azusa Mission lias conquered more
serious opposition than that of the regu
lar ministers. Complaints to the police
have been frequent by men whose wives
or daughters were enmeshed in the move
ment and by others who live In the neigh
borhood of the church and who object to
the all-night shouting of the enthusiasts.
The protests resulted in the arrest of one
of the leaders. Henry Prentice, on a
chnrge of insanity. He was accused of
uncontrollable religious mania and of
speaking in unintelligible gibberish. It
was alleged he required restraint.
Forty of his followers accompanied the
arresting ofticers and Prentice to the
Courthouse, where the leader was taken
before the lunacy commission, presided
over by Judge G. A. Gibbs. of the Su
perior Court. Prentice informed the com
mission that there were between 300 and
600 persons under his leadership. He gave
two samples of the "gift of tongues."
Linguists present say that in the first
efforts they detected several Italian words
which were not placed together so as to
telve an intelligible meaning. The second
effort they pronounced gibberish.
Prentice was discharged from custody.
Judge Gibbs remarking that If the leader
were sent to the Insane asylum there
would be as good cause for sending his
400 or 600 followers there also. At the
word "discharged" Prentice's followers
present In cnurt started a hymn of re
joicing and led away their leader in
triumph.
Surgeon and Daughter Converted.
One of the most amazing converts Is
Dr. Henry 8. Keyes, directing surgeon of
the Emergency and General Hospital of
this city. His young daughter is also a
convert, and breaks out in the church
gatherings and family circles in what. It
is alleged. Is the most prehistoric Chal
dean. She speaks any number of other
tongues, ancient and modern, all without
preparation or study, so the other con
verts say.
Dr. Keyes is not a wild-eyed fanatic in
appearance. He is a tall, fine-looking man
who speaks correctly and Is seen at once
to be a polished man of the world. The
"gift of tongues" has only lately come
to Dr. Keyes. and the language given, he
says, is a u.alect of the northwestern part
of India.
"It is nothing like hysteria." declares
Dr. Keyes. "and It is not necessarily pre
ceded by anything like emotion. When I
talk it I feel Just as I do when I sit here
talking English. It is true that I do not
understand what T am snylng. It is pure
ly automatic. With my daughter it Is
different. As the words llow from her
she comprehends their meaning. From
' constantly speaking them she is even
picking up words from the various lan
guages she uses.
"I recognize that languages are some
times communicated through hypnotic
suggestion. This is different. In that case
the language used is often crude thought
of the guiding mind. In the case of the
'gift of tongues' the language comes from
the Holy Spirit and is absolutely pure dic
tion. Vses an African Dialect.
"One of the languages that has come to
my daughter Is a dialect from the central
part of Africa. Three different mission
aries have heard It and say -she speaks it
as the natives speak it as no missionary
will ever learn it.
"From this fact may be obtained an
Inkling why this gift is sent from God.
It will not be long before this will sweep
over the whole United States. Why does
much of It come through ignorant "ne
groes? Because God has always chosen
the simple, trustful minds to do his
work."
Dr. Keyes has written .several pages
In his gift language for submission to in
terpreters. One man. L. C. I.e Nan. who
claims to be an Egyptian and conversant
with 30 languages, asserts that he recog
nizes the scrawl as "Geae" or "Donol
Prian.'" spoken in Palestine.
Le Nan looks like a negTO. He claims
to have been a Mohammedan. One night
he strolled into a "Gift of Tongues'" meet
ing, so his story runs, and to his amaze
ment heard a woman he did not know
call out to him in his own tongue and
apply to him the "burial name" which
every Mohammedan religiously conceals.
Le Nan has since been making money !
translating at tl a sitting.
Oriental Scholar Puzzled.
On the other hand, Baba Bharatl, an
other Oriental scholar, who makes Los
Angeles his home can see nothing in
Dr. Keyes' scrawl. He declares it Is
neither Hindoo, Persian, Arabic, Chinese,
Japanese nor Sanskrit and that the char
acters do not look like those of any
Asiatic language with which be is at all
acquainted.
Almost coincident with the conversion
of Dr. Keyes there came the public re
pudiation of the "Gift of Tongues" by
Miss Maud Snyder, a woman of 21, who
had been a convert. Miss Snyder is a
member of the Baptist Church, and Is the
daughter of refined parents. She was a
"Gift of Tongues" convert for 14 days,
but now declares that she believes that
during that period she was hypnotized.
Telling of her experiences Miss Snyder
said:
"I was sitting in the church listening
to the leaders, and I do not recall that
I was thinking of anything in particular.
Suddenly I began to shake violently. It
is impossible for me now to repeat that
shaking. I lost control of my muscles
and shook off the chair to the floor. There
I could do nothing but scream, sing and
shake.
"I had no control of words. I was con
scious "of what went on around me, but
I could not get up. The first sensation
was in the hands, which tingled like re
ceiving an electric current, iuy friends
afterwards told me that I Jabbered sense
lessly and barked like a dog. I have no
recollection of the words I spoke."
Miss Snyder tells of secret meetings
held in the upper chamber of the People's
Church, where the leaders labored with
persons "seeking the power." The meth
ods employed, as she describes them, cor
respond very closely with those of travel
ing hypnotists In obtaining control of
their subjects.
Because Parents Lacked Faith.
It was announced, by the leaders that
Miss Snyder would receive the gift of
the Spanish tongue and go forth a mis
sionary into Mexico. When it was found
that her words were unintelligible It was
declared that she had received a "stam
mering tongue" because of the lack of
faith of her parents. Meetings In the
Azusa Mission are replete with prophecy.
"And the railroads shall bend and the
girders shall fall and the cars shall stand
still for want of power. Chicago shall
be destroyed and there shall be a terrible
mangling in Los Angeles and Pasadena."
This prophecy by a negro woman is a
fair example of the predictions made.
The Azusa Mission is a building appar
ently designed as a warehouse. The rough
walls are whitewashed and the commonest
of chairs seat the 500 people for which the
place has capacity. Whites and blacks
crowd the place in equal numbers. The
neat is always intense. Swarms of files
attracted by the vitiated atmosphere buzz
throughout the room, and It is a con
tinuous light for protection.
In the center of the room the faithful
form a circle. Within the circle are ne
gro laundresses, negro men. long-hatred
wnttes. old men with "deacon beards,"
ana wnue women white women even
who are gowned in fashionable silks.
There are numerous "specialists." One
buxom negro wench, every evenin
sings in an unknown tontrue. The
"song" Is without meter or melody and
the words are senseless Jargon. Often a
negro Daritone will Join in absolute dis
cord. Old Lady Does the Cataleptic Trance.
An elderly woman, well dressed and
navmg a sweet face and soft gray hair,
makes a specialty of a cataleptic trance.
The trance is preceded by a series of
hallelujahs. This woman frequently
maintains an attitude of benediction.
standing with one arm outstretched, head
thrown back and eyes closed, for an hour
and 15 minutes. The ordinary person
1,1'es oi the position in five minutes. Fre
quent cries, like the wall of the coyote,
escape from her.
There are numerous members who
speak In Jargon and then translate their
words into scripture. One who refers to
herself as Sister Evans is always well
and fashionably gowned. She claims to
have been the first to receive the gift of
tongues.
In all the six months the frenzy has
been at its height there have been no
translations that are convincing to one
whoso mind is in normal condition. It is
a peculiarity of most of the "languages"
that the syllables spoken are exactly the
same in number as the syllables In the
English translation a similarity that It
would be almost impossible to find be
tween, the English translation and the
actual rendering of a scriptural verse in
a foreign tongue.
In spite of the sound arguments of those
who remonstrate with the more intelligent
of the converts, the movement bears
signs of further progress. Undaunted by
attacks from pulpit and press the leaders
are increasing their efforts, while scores
of fanatics from ofber sections of the
country are arriving In this city to aid
them.
GOOSE LAKE RESERVE.
Forest Service Will Reserve Timber,
Grazing and Water.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Oct. 21. The Goose Lake forest
reserve was created in Oregon reeently
by Presidential proclamation signed
August 21. This reserve is situated near
Goose Lake, which extends into Oregon
from the northern border of California.
The country which it embraces Is very
rough except along the water courses,
being mainly of volcanic character, with
a surface of broken lava rocks or solid
basaltic escarpments or "rim rock." Cli
mate, physical structure and soil condi
tions effectually preclude development as
an agricultural area, though there are
some small valleys where fruit and vege
tables for home use can be successfully
grown. The principal industry of the re
gion Is cattle- and sheep-grazing, and this
will be the case until the demand for
lumber increases in the district.
There are two main types of forest
that represented by the lodgepole pine
areas, and that of the Western yellow
(bull pine and sugar pine areas. Much
of the latter has been cut for local use,
and the cut-over land almost Invariably
comes up to the inferior lodgepole pine.
The creation of the reserve will serve
three very beneficial purposes, anil local
conditions are such that the bona fide
settlers of the region are preponderantly
in favor of reserve administration. Tn
the first place, the important grazing
rights of the Inhabitants will be protect
ed against the Inroads of foreign bands
of sheep that overrun the range to the
detriment of the sheep and cattle owned
in i lie neighborhood of the reserve.
Moreover, the range will be carefully al
lured to prevent overstocking, and to
eliminate all differences between sheep
and cattle-owners, to the immense ad
vantage of both. In the second place.
wNe res:rictions In the cutting of timber
will tend toward a preservation and a re
production of the valuable species until
the timber of the region will have a
much higher commercial value and a
greater usefulness. Tn the third place,
forest preservation will be of great ben
efit to the various irrigation projects, the
most important of which is the Klamath
project, which draws a large portion of
its urmly from the watershed enclosed in
the reserve.
The Goose Lake reserve is quite irregu
lar In shape and has some detached
areas, but comprises about SXO.000 acres.

some of them to England, and all bearj
ing an Oregon brand.
The Wallace orchard is one that shows
in a noteworthy manner the good results
of thorough spraying, careful thinning
and other needed attention. The orchard
is entirely free from scale, only a small
per cent of the fruit is infested by worms,
and the apples are uniform in size and
color. These latter qualities are sought
as zealously as the freedom from worms
and scale, for they are essential to the
sale of the fruit to best advantage.
Though free from pests, small, poorly
colored spitzenbergs find little demand.
To secure size, the trees are not only
closely pruned, but as soon as the fruit
has formed men go over the trees and
pick off about three-fourths of the fruit.
No two apples are left close enough to
gether so that they will touch when
fully grown. If they touch, a worm is
more likely to get In. and each apple
shades the other so that a large green
spot is left on the glossy red surface.

tioned in the highest part of the orchard,
on a foundation high enough so that the
spray solution can be run through pipes
into a tank on a wagon. Each vat has a
furnace under it. A windmill pumps
water into a reservoir above the vats
so that there is always plenty of water.
From the boiling vats the spray so
lution is hauled to different parts of
the orchard, where, it is pumped into
the tanks of spraying machines oper
ated by gasoline engines. The Wal
lace orchard uses three gasoline spray
ing outtits in the 40 etcres of apples
and 70 acres of pears.
To aid in exterminating the codlin
moth, the Wallace orchard employs
one device not generally known or
used by apple-growers. Around the
trunk" of each tree, just above the
ground, a strip of burlap about eight
inches wide is placed and tied with a
cord. When the worms emerge from
apples and drop to the ground, they
instinctively seek a dark place on or
near the trunk of the tree. The bur
lap supplies just what they are seek
ing. Occasionally men are sent through
t lie orchard to take off the burlap,
kill the v.-orms and put the strip back
to catch another lot of worms.
If cultivating an orchard and gath
ering the fruit were the only tasks,
apple and peargrowing would be 'easy
work, but pruning, thinning, spraying;
several times a year, and finally sort
ing the fruit, requires the employment
uf a large gang of men nearly all the
year.
In sorting the fruit, the Wallace
orchard is particularly careful, and
in selling the crop Manager C. A. Park
stipulated that the buyer must have
an insoector on the ground. Since the
fruit is sorted to suit the buyer, it is
a foregone conclusion that none that
goes into the boxes is of Inferior qual
ity. That apples grown in the Willamette
Valley are of good keeping quality Is
shown by the fact that Manager Park
took to the April meeting of the State
Horticultural Commission a box of ap
ples tiiat had been kept all Winter In
an or.linary basement, and were still In
excellent condition. Of course, they
would have kept much longer in cold
storage.

went out to the orchards today along
the Mount Hood Railroad and spent the
day in helping rancners gather their fruit.
The cold nights that have been experi
enced for the past few days make it im
perative, growers say, that the fruit be
picked as soon as possible.
Efforts are being made to secure pickers
from other parts of Oregon, but so far
they have not met with much success.
There is also a shortage in boxes for the
fruit. Growers have almost to a man
underestimated their crop and the result
is that apple boxes are difficult to get.
The box factory of the Davidson Fruit
Company here has received orders for
them from all over Oregon where fruit
is grown and as far east as Colorado.
They are unable to fill them, as the
home crop will take all they can make
at present. The box factory people are
also having their troubles, as they can
not get lumber suitable for their purpose
as fast as they want It, and in fact are
having a hard time to get any -at all. The
problem of getting boxes is said to be
the most serious pne that growers have
had to contend with in several years, and
factories for making them throughout
the entire Northwest are unable to fill
any more orders this year.

CHASES ANOTHER RAINBOW
Gompers Talks of Preventing Can
non's Re-Electlon as Speaker.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU,
Washington, Oct. 21. Finding it im
possible to prevent the election of
Joseph G. Cannon to the Sixtieth Con
gress, President Samuel Gompers, of
the American Federation of Labor, has
determined to prevent Cannon's re
election to the Speakership when the
new House of Representatives meets
and organizes. The success that has
attended Gompers campaigning- this
Fall would hardly warrant the Speaker
in losing any sleep over the latest
threats of the labor leader, for up to
this time Gompers has not a single
victory to his credit, and disaster has
attended every effort to obliterate men
who refused to vote for his own anti
Injunction bill. Gompers started in to
make sweeping changes in the House
of Representatives, and Cannon was
one of the principal men slated for
defeat, but unfortunately for Gompers
the Democrats in Cannon's district re
fused to make any nomination and
Gompers had to subside.
It is a foregone conclusion (since
the Democratic managers have ceased
making claims) that the Republicans
will retain control of the next House

of Representatives, though their ma
jority will be reduced'. Even Gom
pers admits this. Just what leads
him to believe that ho will be stronger
than Cannon in the Republican caucus
that will choose a Speaker is difficult
to ascertain. Cannon is unquestiona
bly one of the most popular of Speak
ers, and his popularity has not declined
since he let It be known that he as
pires to the Presidency. It Is dollars
to doughnuts that Cannon will be
unanimously nominated for the Speak
ership, and that he will receive the
vote of every Republican. Republican
Congressmen want to vote for Cannon
In the first place, and it is necessary
that they should do so. In the second,
for they know that they would incur
the disfavor of the Speaker if they
should vote for some other man. What
is more Important, no Republican mem
ber of the present Congress, certain
of election to the next Congress, Is
foollsii enough to permit his name to
be put up against Cannon. Payne,
much as he would like to be Speaker,
will not let his name be used; neither
will Dalzell or Sherman or Hepburn or
Tawney. Therefore Republican Con
gressmen who fear Gompers will not
be in a position to do his bidding when
it comes to nominating a Speaker;
they will be forced to vote for Can
non. There is only one possible means by
which Gompers could prevent Cannon's
re-election to the Speakership, by forc
ing certain Republicans to vote for
the Democratic candidate, and history
has never recorded an Instance where
a Republican majority has elected a
Democratic Speaker, and it never will.
No Republican is going to vote for a
Democrat for Speaker. To do so would
be to commit political suicide, and H
Is better for the fearful members to
vote for Cannon and retire with honor
than vote for a -Democrat and expe
rience two years of awful ostracism In
Congress.
Gompers is clearly not cut out for
a politician. He cloes not know the
game, and he does ont seem able to
catch on. His course has not won any
votes for his net an tl -injunction bill,
rather has nailed the l!d down on It.
It Is as good as buried.
