land. Adopt Many Resolutions.
Resolutions were adopted as follows:
Directing the appointment of a com
mittee of five to work with the legis
lative committee of the Good Roads
Association to draft a law on the sub
ject of road-building, to he presented
to the next Legislature; for another
committee of five to present a bill to
the Legislature revising the present
probate and guardianship laws; author
izing the Association to proceed with
the organization of bar associations lh
the various counties of the state; re
gretting the unavoidable absence of
one of the oldest members of the Asso
ciation. Judge George H. Williams, who
was confined to his home by illness;
authorizing the grievance committee to
employ a private prosecutor to try. all
cases coming before the committee.
A motion was adopted approving the
proposed constitutional amendment in
creasing the number of Justices of the
Supreme Court from three to five, and
directing the appointment of a commit
tee of five members of the Association
by the president to assist In accom
plishing the adoption by ..ie people of
the pending amendment to the State
Constitution.
To the legislative committee were re
ferred resolutions proposing that a law
enacted providing that in a suit for per
sonal damages the judge be not allowed
to grant a nonsuit on grounds. of con
tributory negligence, and proposing the
drafting of a bill establishing and. main
taining tile water rights of the state. The
resolution touching on water rights first
proposed the drafting of a bill that would
regulate the practice and procedure for
determining these rights, but It met with
strong opposition led by R. W. Montague.
Finally, the resolution was modified so
as to call for a bill on the general sub
ject of water rights without specifying
the manner and method of procedure and
In that form it was referred to the com
mittee op legislation.
Granting of New Trials.
The same disposition was made of an
other resolution proposing that no new
trial be granted upon an appeal to the
Supreme Court unless on sufficient legal
error or until the case had been viewed
by the members of the Supreme Court.
Each member of the association is privi
leged to prepare bills on the subject for
presentation to the legislative committee
prior to March L
"This Is a panic of prosperity which
may be likened to the man who got so fat
that ha could not run away from the dog
that was after him," was the humorous
way In which Benjamin I. Cohen, presi
dent of the Portland Trust Company, de
scribed the existing financial flurry in an
address before the association during the
afternoon. Mr. Cohen had been invited
to address the association on the financial
situation, his address being substituted
on the programme for that of W. A.
Huneke. Superior Judge, of Spokane,
Wash., who could not uttend.
Discussing the causes that led up to
the existing trouble in the financial world,
Mr. Cohen, said:
Explains Present Panic.
"The panic of 1W3 left this country in
an exhausted condition, which was fol
lowed by depression, low prices and lack
I of employment for the workingman. This
I condition endured in some sections
t longer than In others, continuing In this
I .section as long as 1900 and 1901. But the
) buoyancy of the American people as
t serted Itself and by converting their raw
' materials into manufactured products the
( prosperity of the country was re-estab-
llsiiefl. rnis was tojiowed by ex
travagance and speculation with the re-
! ult that there was no limit to the proj
I ?ets that could be floated and the
W-hemes that could be carried through.
Dils condition was taken advantage of by
teen and unscrupulous men who exploited
kll sorts of schemes at the expense of the
Ijeoplc.
"The trouble was that the wealth of
the country did not develop as quickly as
there was a demand for Its employment.
uVnlle 1 consider that In many ways
President Roosevelt has made one of the
belst Executives this country ever had.
stjll I believe that in attempting to curb
predatory wealth he made a serious mls
tajke when he attacked corporate credit
Instead of seeking to punish the Indivi
HEIR
SESSION
duals who were guilty of the wrong. The
result has been that the most stable
securities known of today are selling from
10 to 25 per cent below their known in
trinsic value.
Money System Is Bad.
"This stringency is the result of a lack
of currency. I do not believe any other
country in the world has a system of
currency as inadequate, unscientific and
utterly worthless as that of this country.
Besides gold, which is only stamped
wealth, our principal currency is that Is
sued by the National banks. It is per
fectly safe, being secured by Government
bonds. The trouble with our currency Is
that it neither expands nor contracts
when there Is a demand for It to do so."
Mr. Cohen argued that if the country
possessed a proper system of elastic cur
rency, no panic would now be on. Ha
spoke with optimism of the outlook, pe
dlctlng that the Indications were that
normal conditions would soon be restored,
tn concluding his remarks he said:
"While it Is dangerous for a man to set
himself up as a prophet, I believe that
the crisis was passed a week ago and
conditions are gradually growing better.
In 30 days I am confident the improve
ment will be so great that no distress
whatever will he felt, while In 90 days, and
not longer than four months, I am satis
fled the panic will have passed away en
tirely. Before that period has elapsed,
we will have had time to realize on our
wheat and cotton."
The work of the reclamation department
of the Government was discussed at con
siderable length by Oliver P. Morton, one
of the examiners In the reclamation serv
ice. Mr. Morton gave a lucid and de
tailed explanation of the reclamation act
and its provisions, and told of the enor
mous projects the Government has under
taken to redeem a vast area of the arid
deserts of the Western States. He said
that since the act was passed by Congress
in June, 1902, the Government has
launched 25 reclamation projects on which
the expenditures to date aggregated $26,
000,000. Plans and specifications have
been prepared and ' adopted for further
work by which the outlay will be In
creased to $40,000,000. These combined
projects now under construction will fur
nish water for 1.250,000 acres of land.
Will Reclaim a Kingdom.
These with other projects under contem
plation will provide for the irrigation of
3,170,000 acres, representing a total expen
diture of $97,000,000. The speaker esti
mated that the completion of these recla
mation schemes will increase the assess
able value of the lauds so benefited fully
$149,000,000. The annual Income from irri
gated land, he said, averages $15 an acre,
so that the projects now under foot will
mean an Increase In the annual wealth of
the reclaimed districts of $47,000,000. Three
crops from the lands to be Irrigated, It
was asserted, would yield the producers
enough to pay for the entire syctem and
leave a surplus of $45,000,000.
Mr. Morton announced that the work
proposed to be completed by the Govern
ment next year alone will furnish water
for 400.000 acres of land, on which homes
will be built by 6000 families, while the
annual revenue to the reclamation fund
from that area would be $1,000,000. It was
explained that the cost of reclaiming des
ert land ranges from $1S to $67, the latter
figure representing the cost of the Uma
tilla project in this state. But It was
predicted that In 10 years the value of
the land so reclaimed would range from
$750 to $1500 an acre.
It was the contention of Mr. Morton
that the failure of private corporations
successfully to manage Irrigation projects
was due to the fact that they undertook
to irrigate more territory than the capa
city of their system would supply. He
said the cardinal principle under which
the reclamation department of the Gov
ernment proceeds is that no more land
shall be undertaken to be Irrigated than
the system can supply.
ENGINEERS HOLD MEETING

Oregon No. 1. National Association of
Stationary Engineers, met in regular

are discussed at meetings. Last night
the subject was "Connecting of Com
pound Wound Dynamos." The local
branch meets every Wednesday night,
and it was decided to hold the meeting
coming in the middle of December on an
elaborate plan In the form of a banquet,
committees having been selected to ar
range the programme at last night's
session. The preamble of the National
Association indicates the character of the
organization, being as follows:

10 WILLBE CHIEF?
Gossip of Police Circles as to
Gritzmacher's Successor.
MANY MEN ARE SUGGESTED
Candidates Are Plentiful Who Are
Willing: to Accept the Office.
Captain Bruin's Chances
Are Said to Be Good.
In view of the present situation in the
Portland Police Department. Chief
Gritzraacher having demanded full and
free rein or the acceptance by Mayor
Dane of his resignation, the logical suc
cessor for the place is being widely dis
cuesed. There 13 wide difference of
opinion as to who will succeed to the of
dioe, it being generally agreed that the
present incumbent will not remain longer
than this month, or, at the latest, not
after January 1.
Mayor Lane has found it very difficult
to secure any one whom he considers
capable of filling the office of Chief o?
Police, although many candidates have
been named as good material. Grltz
macher worked for 18 months as acting
chief, when the City Council refused
longer to pay him full salary, at which
time he was made Chief. Just prior to
that event he had publicly announced
that ho would not remain In the business
longer than June 1, 1907. as he said he
was tired of it, and wished to step out
to private life. However, he was per
suaded to stay at the head of the depart
ment, and agreed to do so.
About this stage of the proceedings,
Thomas G. Greene, chairman of the po
lice committee of the Executive Board,
stepped In and began a campaign of dic
tation, instructions and suggestions to
the Chief, this policy gradually Increas
ing in boldness, until one month ago,
when Greene publicly and to the Chief's
face during a police trial, declared him
self absolute and supreme In the com
mand of the force. He threatened to
discharge the Chief or any member of
the department who should go counter
to Greene's orders, and thereby served
notice upon all officers that Gritz
macher's power was taken away.
This public announcement by Greene
had the logical effect of entirely dis
organizing the department in all its
branches, as the patrolmen and detec
tives began at once to resent orders re
ceived from Chief Grttzmacher, whom
they regarded as a mere figurehead,
since Greene had proclaimed himself su
preme. Since then, little attention has
been paid by the patrolmen and detec
tives to anything ordered by Gritzmacher,
and he is openly derided by those with
whom Greene Is friendly, and in this
manner the complete disruption of the
force Is threatened and Its efficiency
greatly crippled.
As an example of how little regard Is
given orders Issued by Gritzmacher. the
one calling upon the patrolmen to arrest
all violators of the ordinance which
prohibits the sale of liquor to persons
already intoxicated furnishes a good il
lustration. This order was read to the
policemen three times, and Captain Slover
threatened to prefer charges against his
men if they did not make aome arrests
on that line, but only one arrest was
made, and the order is forgotten by the
patrolmen, yet this ordinance, according
to Captain Slover, is broken in Portland
every day.
Constant demands have been upon the
patrolmen by Chief Gritzmacher to do
something special along law-enforcement
lines, but no attention is paid to the
orders, many of the patrolmen making no
arrests and no written reports, although
their salaries have been increased to $100
a month. This Is said to be the direct
result of the strained relations existing
between Gritzmacher and Greene, the force
evidently feeling that it Is unimportant
at present whether they work or not, as
they are not held to a strict account for
their deeds by the Chief.
The department having thus been de
moralized to such a great extent, and
Gritzmacher having demanded the ac
ceptation of his resignation, the cry la
for some one who will be able to take
hold and straighten out the kinks. Many
have favorites who they believe could
handle the department if given free hand.
There are those who favor the promo
tion of the senior patrol captain, John T.
Moore. They argue that he Is, the logi-
cal candidate, and say that his long and
varied experience In the department
should entitle him to the place. Still
others are urging that George H. Bailey,
commanding the second relief, be ap
pointed. They claim for him superior
executive ability and zeal, cleverness In
action and absolute fearlessness. E. A.
Slover, In charge of the first relief, also
has many friends who say that, being a
leading churchman, he Is more In sym
pathy with Mayor Lane's administration
than any other available man, and that
he should receive the appointment. They
also offer In his behalf his years of
service and rapid rise to his present posi
tion. All of these captains have excellent
records, no charges ever having ben
preferred against them.
Some believe that Captain of Detectives
Bruin should be named, and It Is known
that he would like the place. Bruin's
chief claims for the place are his ex
ecutlve ability, fearlessness and energy,
while ills friends contend he has mastered
the police business in a remarkable short
time. Bruin's chances for the place are
believed to be good.
Others mentioned for the place are J.
E. Cronln, M. T. Clohessy, Patrick J.
Maher, Frank D. Hennessy. Detective
Sergeant Baty and ex-Chief Charles H.
Hunt.

BISHOP PADDOCK BELIEVES
IN A "SOCIAL CHURCH1
New Episcopal Missionary Bishop of Oregon Countenances Dancing and
Favors Church Taking Stand for Good Government.
RETV. ROBERT LEWIS PADDOCK
will be consecrated as missionary
bishop of Oregon in the Church of the
Holy Apostles, New York City, December
18. He will start West immediately after
his consecration. Bishop Paddock recent
ly was Interviewed by the New York
Tribune as follows:
The Rev. Robert Lewis Paddock, rector of
the Eplscopa'. Church of the Holy Apostles.
Ninth avenue and Twenty-eighth street, an
nounced yesterday his acceptance of the
office of missionary bishop of Eastern Ore
gon. Mr. Paddock, who is well known In
this city for his cruaade against vice while
connected with the former Episcopal Pro
Catbedral. in Stanton street, was elected
bishop of the missionary district by the
general convention of the Episcopal Church
at Its recent meeting In Richmond. Va.
"It wMl be entirely different work from
that which I have been doing h.re In New
York far the last ten years." said Mr. Pad
dock yesterday afternoon to a Tribune re
porter. "A. Is only natural I shall be very
orry to leave this parish In which I have
been for five years, but I will have a great
field for work out there In the Vet. Bishop
Potter, since 1 decided several days ago to
to accept the election, has told me he rec
ognized fully the opportunities I should have
out there."
In speaking of the work of the Church of
the Holy Apostles. Mr. Paddock said that
the moat gratifying feature of It to him
in the number of young men from the
parish who had presented themselves for
tho ministry.
"You know," he said. "I can't understand
why more young churchmen do not take up
this most fascinating work. I can t think
of any calling which can have more at
traction and fascination about It than that
of giving your fellow-men a lift. The work
Is like football, and I have always thought
football about the best game there Is There
la an exhilaration and thrill about bucking
the center and running around the ends
which you can't get in any other game.
"Then, again. I think this church over
here In the Chelsea district stands for Cath
olic Christianity, not catholic in the sense
of Roman Catholic. but a Christianity
which includes all classes and conditions of
men. The deaconesses and the eight men
who have been working with me represent
each a different kind of nature and we have
always tried to have the attitude of those
who hold various opinions, but are ready to
Keep In the
Front Line

action.

Mr. Paddock wan asked If he bMleved
with the Bishop of London in a '"social
church."
"Most assuredly I do," he replied. "We
have dancing classes and regular dances
and any number of parties here in the
parish house. I don't believe the devil
should be allowed to keep all the pleasure
to himself. And 111 tell you another thing.
I believe there is a higher moral and social
tone at our dances here than there Is at
many of those on Fifth avenue. I believe
in the church taking part In politics also
and asserting its Influence, not in behalf or
one particular party but in the Interest of
good government."
Mr. Paddock has a record as a fighter for
good government. While rector of the Pro
Cathedral he brought about the exposure of
John D. Herlihy. police captain of the Eld-ridge-street
station. In the Fall of 1100.
After he was made rector of the church on
the West Side, Devery, the ax-Chief of
Police, won his fight for the Democratic
leadership in the Ninth Assembly District.
On that occasion the Tribune said of him :
"There is one potent influence In that part
