LAUD THEIR PATRIOTISM
Fortieth Anniversary of Their Exe
cution the Occasion for Eulogy
In Song and Story by
Mnny Admirers.
The fortieth anniversary of the death
of four Irish patriots. Allen, Larkln,
Condon and O'Brien, known as the Man
chester martyrs, was commemorated
last night by the Ancient Order of Hi
bernians in Arlon Hall. A programme
consisting of characteristic songs and
instrumental selections was rendered.
Willlom McGarry delivered the address
of the evening. The exercises were
under the direction of the following
committee: Chairman. E. H. Deery, D.
"W. Lane, J. W. McGinn. John O'Hare,
Joseph Casey and Patrick Murray.
'The event which we commemorate
tonight," said Mr. McGarry. "Is one of
those tragic events in history which In
fluences the human race either for good
or evil. As an incident It is not dif
ferent from thousands of others which
have darkened the political relations of
England and Ireland during centuries
of unrelenting persecution.
"It was only 43 years ago yesterday
that Alien. Larkln. Condon and O'Brien
were executed on the scaffold of an
English prlron. They were members of
the Fenian Society, who had quietly and
In the exercise of their lawful rights
entered the city of Manchester upon
purposes absolutely innocent of any
criminal liability. While thus engaged,
two of their leaders, Kelly and Deasy.
. were arrested without complaint, hurled
Into prison and tnere detained In
flagrant violation or every recognized
principle of criminal law. They were
denied the privilege of ball and starved
In a gloomy dungeon under the pre
text that some unknown crime had
been committed some time, somewhere,
and that If they would only confess and
end their days In prison, the bail de
nied them in England, the good Lord
would grant It to them In Kingdom
Come.
"Now, Kelly and Deasy were cer
tainly Fenians. They were men whose
whole lives had been spent In reflect
ing upon the miseries of their native
land. They may indeed have been
dreamers, and they may have seen In
their dreams the Emerald Isle, 'when
Madacl wore the collar of gold he won
the proud invader.' And in their
dreams each hillside may have appeared
melodious with the laughter of chil
dren and the songs of happy men.
Each valley may have glowed with
abundant harvests and every fireside
reflected In their sparkling warmth
the warmer flames of hospitality with
in the. native heart. Deasy and Kelly
may have been dreamers, but their
dreams were nourished by the manly
sentiments which inspired the cohorts
of Gideon with Irresistible might
against the satanlc powers of Baal;
which fired the patriotic heart of Ar
mlnlus to rescue the virtue of Ger
many from the abasement of Imperial
Rome; which illuminated the gloom of
Valley Forjre and cr6wned the arms
of Washington with the laurel of en
during freedom.
"Neither Deusy nor Kelly had been
guilty of any overt act authorizing
their detention. They nad been denied
every right guaranteed them by the
British constitution. They were held
unlawfully; they were suffering be
cause they sympathized with Ireland.
All"n, Larkln and O'Brien resolved to
rescue them by force. When the van
conveying the prisoners from the po
lice court to the Jail appeared, they
demanded the release of the prisoners.
Sergeant Brett refused to deliver the
men, and someone In the crowd, doubt
less a detective, tired Into the van with
the evident purpose of killing one or
both of the prisoners and thereafter
accusing the patriots of murder. The
bullet glunced and killed Sergeant
Brett. The prisoners escaped, but a
different murder than that intended had
Indeed been committed; nut they were
ready for any emergency, and the very
man who did the shooting dropped his
pistol In Allen's pocket and swore that
he saw Allen do the shooting.
"Allen, Larkln and O'Brien and many
others were arrested for conspiracy to
commit murder. The trial itself was
travesty. The English law provides
that when a criminal conspiracy has
been accomplished the conspiracy itself
merges into the completed crime, but
as this rule would authorize the con
viction of only a few men it was Ig
nored In favor of the charge of con
spiracy so as to admit statements of
everybody who sympathized with the
patriots, and thus accomplish wholesale
convictions A packed Jury did the
rest. These men were sentenced tq, be
hanged, and hanged they were without
delay before any opportunity could be
given them to make an appeal.
"Each of these men died protesting
his innocence. The last words of poor
Condon wero 'God save Ireland.' And
from that day to this 'God save Ireland'
has been a rallying cry to Irishmen
in every portion of the earth. The in
temperate and hostile attitude of 1R07
has given way to confiding faith in
1907. Ireland is moving onward as
Irishmen are moving upward in the
Bcale of social progress."
The musical programme was well re
ceived, each participant being com
pelled to respond to encores. The com
plete programme was as follows:

GALLANT SOLDIER DEAD
lieutenant C. J. Ward, Old-Time
Portland Man, Passes Away.
Lieutenant C. J. Ward, a well-known
resident of the city for the past 24 years,
and a ITnlon veteran of the Civil War.
with a distinguished record, died yester
dA" afternoon at the home of his son,
Wilbur Ward, at 28 Beech street. Al
blna, after an Illness of about two weeks.
A year ago Lieutenant Ward fell 111 and
was not expected to live, but partially
recovered. Two weeks ago he was at
tacked with neuralgia and suffered se
verely until that attack left him. It was
the Immediate cause of his death, having
weakened him so that he died from gen
eral collapse.
Lieutenant Ward was born in Summit
County. Ohio. June 23. 1837. and In early
llfe moved to Indiana. When the Civil
War broke out he was among the first
to answer the call of Governor O. P.
Morton, Indiana's war Governor, for
troops, and went with the Seventh In
diana Volunteers, which became Incor
porated In General Wllder's command In
General Thomas' brigade. This regiment
afterwards became a regiment of
mounted volunteers, and was the first In
the Army to be supplied with Spencer
seven-shot repeating carbines.

The Late C. J. Ward.
Mr. Ward received three promotions
for bravery: first as Sergeant, then as
Second Lieutenant, and then as First
Lieutenant. His commissions were all
signed by Governor Morton. While he
was reticent about his record, his com
rades say it was brilliant throughout
until his honorable discharge In 18. His
regiment bore the brunt of many en
gagements, and he served as a staff of
ficer under General Crook.
Lieutenant Ward came to Portland in
July, 1883, and engaged in business. His
wife died in 1890. He was a member of
Sumner Post. G. A. R. He was noted
for his cheerfulness, and at all times
saw the brightest side. In his last hours
he was ministered to by his sons and
his G. A. R. comrades, and died peace
fully. He leaves two sons, Wilbur and Mllo
H. Ward, of Portland. The funeral will
be held tomorrow afternoon at 1:30
o'clock undr the auspices of Sumner
Post.
E
FEW NATIONAL- INSTITUTIONS
INSOLVENT.
Plea Made for Better Regulation by
State Legislature Imposing
Added Restrictions.
In response to an inquiry, T. P. Kam.
deputy contsoller of the currency, has
written H. C. Thompson, of the Davenport-Thompson
Company, of this
city, advising him that onlv 12 national
banks were closed during the year end
ing October 31, 1906. Four of them,
being found solvent, were permitted to
resume business. The same letter fur
nishes the Information that there have
been but 468 receiverships for national
banks during the history of the sys
tem (about M yenrsi, and of that num
ber 26 were permitted to resume busi
ness; 376 were finally liquidated, and
the affairs of the others are still In
process of liquidation.
"The average loss sustained by cred
itors of insolvent national banks."
writes Mr. Kam, "that is to say. banks
the affairs of which have been fully
settled, is shown to have been less
than i'O per cent."
The inquiry of Mr. Thompson of the
Treasury Department at Washington
was suggested by a communication in
The Oregonian from a correspondent
who had asserted that more than 300
natlonnl banks had failed during the
last year.
"It seems to us in justice to banks
that have been doing a careful and
legitimate hanking business that these
facts should be made public," said Mr.
Thompson yesterday. "It further ap
pears to us that the present want of
confidence In banking institutions by a
few timid depositors has been brought
about largely by the suspension of two
banks whose methods of doing busi
ness, no matter how good the inten
tions of the officers may have been, are
open to public criticism. Had the Ore
gon legislature passed a banking law
at the 1905 session tt Is safe to say
there could have been no suspensions
or failures In Portland for. working
under the legal restrictions that would
be Imposed thereby, the methods of
these banks would necessarily have
been more conservative.
"I see that Governor Hughes, of New
York, has appointed a committee to
recommend revisions to the banking
laws of that state. Why cannot the
Governor of Oregon follow this wise
step and appoint a committee to draft
amendments to our hanking law to be
submitted to the next legislature, pro
posing severnl additional restrictions
wnicn are very much needed?
"To The Oregonian must be attrib
uted the credit largely for the passage
of the present banking law In this
state, for without its influence the act
probably would have been defeated by
the private bankers and those directly
interested. If the banking institutions
were to be made so safe that a fail
ure would rarely if ever occur, a strin
gency of money, such as we are now
experiencing, would be unknown."
FOUND DEAD IN MONTANA

Deer L-odge, Mont., to the Miner says:
Patrick Boyle, 66 years old, a partner

one of his herders. Mr. Boyle had left
his home with a team to take supplies
to the sheep camp, and the wagon and
team arriving without a driver, an in

"A Thanksgiving Message" ww de
livered by Rev. Luther R. Dyott, pastor
of the First Congregational Church, yes
terday morning. Dr. Dyott took for his
text Ps. cxvlii:19-23, and said in part:
Nations. like individuals, have their birth,
growth, maturity, their mission and their
death. Nations, like Individuals, must obey
the laws of life, that they may have their
growth, reach their maturity and fulfil
their mission. Our American Nation, like
all others. Is subject to these laws.
It Is characteristic of nations to be ego
tistical. All the conspicuous nations In his
tory have, had a certain amount of egotism
as to their relation to other nations, and
their mission in life. There Is a sense in
which a Just conception of the life of a
nation is not egotism, certainly not an un
pardonable egotism. The awakening to self
consciousness marks a crisis In the life of
a nation, that la attended by a prevalent un
rest. All great eras have been ushered In
by unrest. Our American Nation has
awakened to its self-consciousness, and there
Is a sense in which the world at large has
come Into a realization of this same self
consclousneas. hence the era of unrest.
A realisation of our self-consciousness
brings to light our Imperfections as well as
our better qualities. The imperfections are
conspicuous to the pessimist, and the better
qualities to the optimist. The same con
ception should comprehend both.
The hand of God la seen in the birth of
our Nation, both as to the time when it
came into existence, and In the way It was
carried forward. This country was dis
covered and founded just at the time when
the new life of religious freedom had its
birth In the Old World, and needed a new
environment. In the character of the men
who had to do with the early shaping of our
National life, as seen in the spirit of 1774.
the hand of God Is again seen. God di
rected the outcome of the Civil War, which
was begun, not for 'the purpose of freeing
the slaves, but as a means of preserving the
Union. The emancipation of the slaves came
to be an issue later in the strife.
The relation of America to Cuba was an
other Providential happening, which result
ed In the cementing together of the North
and the South. Then It was that the new
era of prosperity dawned upon the South
land, so that the Southern States are now
accumulating wealth seven times as fast as
Great Britain.
In 'our present condition there Is a sense
in which the American life is essentially
one. as instanced by the present financial
crisis, which could not have been confined to
one section of the country. We have become
conscious of the fact that In our land Is not
to be found simply sectional dependence,
but National interdependence. Great good
will come out of the crisis through which
we are now passing, for It is certain to lead
up to a better understanding of the business
interests, and to lead up to a solving of
financial questions, which could not other
wise have been brought about.
Just as It Is safer to travel on a railroad
after a terrible wreck, It may be safer for
men to Invest after the financial crisis Is
past than It was before.
Already the influence of our straitened
financial condition has begun to spread, and
Immigrants are carrying and sending the
news back to the Old "World that it would
be best for their countrymen not to pour
Into this country in such large numbers.
The Immigrant who comes here not simply
for the purpose of accumulating wealth, but
for the purpose of bettering himself, la a
great good to the community in which he
settles, but the riff-raff of the Ofd World,
who are not capable of being assimilated,
will, as one result of the financial condi
tion, be deterred from coming to our shores,
atul this will, In a measure, be a solution of
our great National problem.
And for the future let us look for libertv.
equality, fraternity and co-operation. If w
possess these attributes they will eventually
lnrue themselves into the life of other na
tions. Therefore, there Is need of savins
In the words of the text. "Open to me the
gates of righteousness, that I may enter in."
we should aim to he right, first with God,
and then with our fellow-men. If we do
this It will enable us to fulfil our mission
in the future. 7 -

will be that of annexation. This meeting
will be held in the Latirelwood Hall, at
g o'clock, and every citizen and property
owner is urged to be present and take
part. This club represents all the settle
ments between Anabel and Lents along
the Mount Scott Railway, and all rest
dents are equally Interested in the mat
ter of annexation. It is understood that
if the question is to be voted on at the
next June election, there Is much work
to be done in the way of petitions for
circulation for signatures and drawing
maps of the territory to be annexed to
Portland. Also it will be necessary to
show approximately the population of
the territory. The petitions and data
must be presented to the Portland Coun
cil, which may or may not allow a vote
to he taken on the question. The water
supply also, which Is connected with the
question of annexation, and fire pro
tection, will come up for consideration.
This big district has practically every
thing found in the city, except it has no
police regulation, fire protection and no
adequate water supply. The population
of the territory is estimated at from
10.000 to 12,000. that depending on the ex
tent of territory that might be Included.
The line will be drawn to take In all of
Woodstock and the territory eastward to
the Grays Crossing on the County
Road. Lents and the Immediate sur
roundings are eaid to be opposed to being
Included in the annexation movement,
and seems to favor forming a little cor
poration of its own. 8o the boundary
line will not be east of the County Road.

P I HE secret of a happy home is entertain-
JL ment. Home should be the most enter
taining spot on earth for the family, and it can
be for the very small amount of money which
an investment in the Edison Phonograph would
mean. Mr. Edison's Phonograph supplies the
entire entertainment. It will sing, render any
kind of instrumental music or talk. It is a
marvelous reproducer of every kind of sound
and especially of the sort of sounds which, com
bined, produce music.
If you haven't seen the new Edison model with the big horn, by all means go to the
nearest Edison store and see, and more especially hear, it. It's a wonder in its way.
