ONE INSANE; OTHER INVALID Charles Vandell Imagines He I Pur. t iled by Enemies and Vses Noose. Mike Johnson, Consumptive, t Cuts Throat With Knzor. Two charges of Multnomah County one at the Poor Farm and the other in a cell at the County Jail succeeded in evading the watch of their custodians Saturday night and committed suicide. The hodies- were not discovered until yes terday morning, when they were turned over to Coroner Flnley. The suicide at the County Jail was Charles Vandell and that at the Poor Farm was Mike John son. Vandell was arrested by the police last Thursday as insane and taken to the County Jail Friday and examined by County Judge Webster and Dr. B. D. Johnson, acting as an insanity commis sion. He was declared Insane and or dered committed to the asylum at Salem. The papers were issued Saturday and an attendant from the asylum was expected to take him to Salem the same night but failed to arrive. Hangs Himself In Coll. Some time after midnight Saturday, or after Jailer Mitchell had made his last round Vandell detached his suspenders and making a noose fitted it around his neck and fastening the other end to the lattice-work at the cell top succeeded in strangling himself to death. The rash , act was not discovered until yesterday morning when the jailer and his assist ant made the first round of the day. Sheriff Stevens states that had he been allotted a night jailer this affair could have been prevented, and Jailer Mitchell has requested that a protected cell for Insane prisoners be erected in a corner of the Jail. This compartment, if allowed, will be equipped In such a manner as to render self-destruction during confinement imposslhle. Vandell Is a Finlander. aged 32 years, and came here recently from Sacramento. Of late ho lias become afflicted with a belief that someone was following him for the purpose of killing him. This hallucination was brought on by excessive use of liquors and exposure. He has a sister residing In Helslngfors, Finland, who has been notified by Coroner Kinley. When arrested by the police Vandell had a certified check for $570 and some change in his pockets. Consumptive Oils His Throat. Mike Johnson, the Poor Farm suicide, is a Norwegian, 36 years. old, who was in tlie last stages or consumption ana an Inmate of the tuberculosis ward. During the two days prior to taking his life Johnson has been very despondent over his condition and was so weak that he was unable to leave his bed. The at tendants at the ward announced that they expected him to die within a few days. Some time Saturday night the sufferer secured his razor and slashed his throat. He was so weak that he had not strength enough to cut the arteries, but succeeded In severing the windpipe and Inflicting a wound which bled profusely. Patients occupying cots near Johnson's state that they heard him groaning during the night, but thought he was snoring and did not Investigate. He had pulled the blankets up over his head, and tills prevented the nurses from discovering the rash act until he failed to respond to a call yesterday morning. When found he was quite dead. DENIES SHE IS INJURED Christian Scientist Will Xot Permit -Medical Assistance 1 A party of Christian Science advo cates and the Portland Police Depart ment in the person of Detective Ser geant Baty, en pa Red in a war of words in the lobby of the Abinjcton building: last night. The cause of the dispute was an accident which had occurred a few momenta before the arrival of the officer. Mrs. Condon, an aed woman, who is a member of the Christian Science cult, which holds regular meetings in the Abingrton building', while leaving the hall at the conclusion of last night's session, tripped and fell down stairs and was apparently severely in jured. Several members of the relig ious sect hastened to her side and at tempted to relieve her sufferings. In so doing they offered no medical aid, and by simple use of water and consol ing statements, taught by their belief, endeavored to convince the aged wom an that she was not hurt, and her only complaint was a pain in the right hand. Detective-Sergeant Baty soon put in his appearance and demanded to know if a physician had been notified. His demand met with an Indignant storm of protests, and the officer was told that members of the Christian Science belief were in need of no interference or assistance from outsiders. In the meantime Deputy Sheriff Clarence Childress sent for a carriage at the instance of one of the woman's friends, and when it arrived the Scientists for got their wrath at the police officer and requested his assistance in getting the woman into the carriage. Baty held that the woman was badly injured, nnd refused to be a party to moving her until a regular physician had ex amined her injuries. Thp. woman was finally placed in the carriage and taken to the home of her sister, Mrs H. O. Iangille, of 683 Was co street. , New Minister Comes Here to Invest His . Life in Community Rev. William Hiram Tonlkes, Called to Pulpit of First Presbyterian Church, a Fine Type of the Useful Christian. "1 BY ARTHUR A. GREENE. HAVE come out here to invest my life." said Rev. William Hiram Foulkes, pastor of the First Presbyterian Ohurch, to me the other day. I liked the manner of his expression then and It has grown upon me that it is a mighty Rood sentiment for a man to say and to live by. Mr. Foulkes Is Portland's n ewest preacher, and since his congregation Is one of the largest and most important in this part of the vineyard. It Is but na tural that within a week after arriving here he becomes a tall figure in the com munity. If he lives up to his declaration of principles, as set forth above, we are certain to have our eyes fixed upon him and our confidence on deposit with him for many years to come. Let us hope he will, that he has in truth come here to Invest that which is richer than much line gold a good man's life, for he is young and has much of it before him. To be young, with a record of useful ness already behind him, a future In which are almost Infinite opportunities ahead of him, with a natural endowment sufficient to meet the obligations placed upon him and a basic determination to make the most of his responsibilities surely that is a capital stock large enough to build a career upon. Mr. Foulkes is "going on" thirty-something. I imagine, and Is young enough to retain all the best enthusiasms of youth and old enough to have got his balance. He Is a modest man. seemingly, who doesn't carry a spot-light among his "properties." His adherence to the old fashioned notion that a minister of the gospel has a mission rather than a pro fession is evidence of his earnestness of purpose. Physically he looks fit, taller than the average, slender and lithe, with an engaging personality, the token of which latter is a smile rthat Is reassuring and inviting. Mr. Foulkes denies that he Indulges himself in ecclesiastical fads; no politics nor vaudeville in the pulpit for him. He didn't say as much aJid refrained from any utterance that might be construed as a criticism of some of his fellow clergy men. It is a simple matter, however, to draw the conclusion that he is a con servative. He is regular and orthodox and preaches the religion that sufficed for the five generations of Presbyterian preachers who lived before him. This does not mean, however, that he is not interested in the affairs of men. Already he has -done a man's work of helping to pry the world upward and ex pects to lend a hand here. I found hint eager to learn about the men and insti tutions of the city. Civic conditions In terest him. and I found him sitting up and noticing the material progress the town is making. It was ten years ago -that he gradu ated from Emporia College, in Kansas, and he has been In the active ministry Rev. W. H. Foulkes, New Pastor, First Presbyterian Church. which took the place of the regular Sun day evening services. ' Rev. Mr. Leas ex plained the significance of each picture as it was thrown on the screen, and most of fhe views of the famous relig ious drama were of unusual beauty and grandeur. Aside from the lecture, a fine musical programme was rendered. A. Blank holm, a violinist, and Miss Mary Quigley, organist, gave a number of selections. The full church choir was present last night and the music was made the prin cipal feature of the evening services. The church was beautifully decorated with roses, carnations. Oregon grape and ivy. The auditorium was crowded. WILLIAM E. JONES DEAD Well-Known and Prosperous Mount Scott Citizen Passes Away. The Mount Scott district suffered the loss of one of Its most substantial citizens in the death last Thursday of William E5. Jones, of Kern Park. Mr. Jones owned one of the finest homes in the district, having come to Kern Park five years ago. Previous to this he spent four years In California, where he went from Seattle after fourteen years spent in the feed and commission business in that city Mr. Jones was born in Quincy, III.. January 31. 1841. At the age of eight years he removed with his parents to Clarksville, Mo.,, where, at a, he mar ried Miss Carrie Roberts. To them was born a son. J, Paul Jones, who, with his family, now lives at Seattle. His first wife dying in 1893. Mr. Jones was married since that time. His earlier -pastorates were in rural Illinois; later he went to Chicago, where he had -an 'important church on the West Side, and three years ago he became pastor of the First Church of Clinton, la., from whence he came here. . . I learn from sources other than Mr. Foulkes himself, that he has an enviable reputation aa a pulpit orator and organ izer. On mora than one occasion he has taken charge of mission work whence all but he had fled and has built up strong congregations. . The young men of the church should like Mr. Foulkes because he is one of them. His social qualities are well de veloped. He goes in for athletics in mod eration and is already Inquiring where the trout Ashing is best. Having the necessary qualifications and given the wide opportunities which his new pastorate will bring him, Will lam Hiram Foulkes should become a citi zen in whom Portland will take much pride.. We shall hear much anon of the young minister, -who, with his young wife and their three children, has .taken up an abode in the big manse on upper Alder street and invested his life in this community. Lectures on Passion Play. Rev. J. Allen Leas gave an illustrated lecture -on the "Passion Play" at the English Lutheran Church last night. 231 WASHINGTON ST. PORTLAND OREGON.' MAKEIf Of MENS CLOTHES In Portland to Mrs. A. R. Wright, who survives him. Mr. Jones was held in high esteem by his neighbors and friends. His illness was brief. The funeral will be held from the home at Kern Park, at 2 P. M. tomorrow. The body will be taken to Seattle for interment. Captured Thief Confesses Guilt. OREGON CITT, Or., March 24. (Spe cial.) Deputy Sheriff Charles Ely re turned, last night from Salem, bringing with him George Gilbert, alias C. R. Clifford, who stole a suitcase containing a gold watch, several razors and other articles of value from the residence of his employer, G. Criteser, near New Era. He pawned the chain for 40 cents in a second-hand store at Salem and was ar rested upon a telegraphic description fur nished by Chief of Police Burns. Gilbert protested his innocence until faced by Mr. Criteser, when he broke down and confessed. DELAY DEPARTURE OF 25TH Regiment Will Not Be Sent to Isl ands at Instance of Foraker. SAN ANTONIO.

Chief Quar termaster Stevens has been notified to cancel all contracts for the movement which was to have begun at the end of this month.
