THE MORXIXG OREGOXTAX, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1908. 7 GRAND LODGE BUSY Many Subjects Taken Up by B'nai B'rith. SHARP DEBATE ON REPORT Initiation of 50 Members and Ora tion by H.

Tenth and Taylor streets. After the report of the committee and its rec ommendations had been adopted, vigorous exceptions were taken by several of the delegates to an appropriation of $600 to Portland. By a close vote, the conven tion decided to reconsider the vote toy which the report was adopted and its fur ther consideration will be taken up this morning. Other routine matters will be considered today, the convention expecting to con clude its labors with the election of offi cers late this afternoon.

Attended by the imposing initiation cere monies of the organization, a class of 50 was last night Initiated as members of the Independent Order of B'nai B'rith, the services being conducted by the grand lodge officers. The exercises included an able address by Rabbi M. Friedlander, of Oakland, Cal. The feature of yesterday's business ses sions, which were devoted largely to re ceiving the reports of officers, was an eloquent oration a the opening of the afternoon session by Grand Orator S. ilecht, of I,os Angeles, Cal. These re ports disclosed a generally prosperous condition which was further reflected in the action of the grand lodge In deciding to take up all of the stock in the B'nai B'rith Mall Association that may be of fered for sale. This stock, which consists of SoOO shares, is now held by the subor dinate lodges but after some discussion the grand lodge decided that it would toe expedient to take over this property. During the afternoon session J. Mari noff, representing the Jewish Consump tives' Relief Society, of Denver. Colo., ad dressed the grand lodge delegates ami made an earnest appeal for financial as sistance. The society was organized by the Jewish people of Denver In January, VMM. for the purpose of caring for victims of the dread disease. While the organi zation Is non-sectarian, . it is supported by Individual subscriptions and donations from the Jewish people of the United States. these subscriptions increasing from S7049.9S in 1904, to $45,000 last year.

PORTION D baseball fans who know and like "Ham" IBerg. he of the slow and teasing benders, will regret to hear that ho is slowly going blind.

The Spokane referee who awarded Orsle, the Spokane boxer, a decision over Rush ton should take a course in some night school.

Shay says that had the Coasters expanded to six clubs he would have had the Venice franchise. for he had an angel on the hook who was billing to back the club. .Should it so happen that McCredie's hired men do not win the pennant this year, you can expect the fans to place the blame by saying that the team was affected with boozelorem and complicated eluporous cussedness.

E. Erffmcyer. of Menomee Falls, Wis., gave an address on church organic union. Rev. Mr. Erffmeyer has been in close touch with the movement for church union in the East, and gave the local association the result of his observations. He said that in Chicago the trend Is toward church union and that in Wisconsin the elders of the two branches of the Evangel ical family are conferring together over the best method to unite. Rev. Mr. Effmeyer declared that the young men of the church especially favor organic union and that it is certain to come. Rev. H. C. Shaffer, of the United Evangelical Church said that his denomi nation approved of the movement as did also the Methodist Protestant. It was the decision of the association to Invite the elders of the two branches of the Evangelical Church to attend the next meeting of the association in March and outline a plan for church federation In Oregon in advance of the general organic union. The resolutions that were to be presented on federation yesterday were postponed until the March meeting. Bureau for Unemployed. - The question of maintaining head quarters in this city where the needy could apply for help was discussed at length, but it was decided to postpone action along this line for the present. Rev. Theodore Schauer, pastor of the First German Church, declared that it "was necessary for the churches to do practical work and that It was not easy to preach to hungry men. He said it was the duty of the church to provide means for relieving the needs of the unemployed and needy as a practical part of Chris tianity. This was admitted, but the ques tion was referred back to the local men's clubs, with the understanding that it will be brought up again as soon as a way is made clear to establish and to maintain headquarters. It was announced that Bishop H. B. Hartzler, D. D., of Harrisburg, Pa., will arrive in Portland In March and will preside over the United Evangelical Con ference, which will be held in Dallas, Or., the first week in April.

The German First Church and the First United Church were offered for the mass meeting". The selection and the matter of arrangements were left to the committee on programme. Federation Not Kavored. In all the talks on the subject of union, emphasis was placed on organic union and not federation of the four denomi nations United Brethren, Methodist Protestant and the two branches of the Evangelical denomination. Federation will put all four denominations under one management. In states where there are two or more conferences, they will be merged into one, and the two general conferences will be replaced by one great body. Small churches will be united In strong ones. Rev.

RARE OLD TAPESTRIES Flemish and Aubusson Handiwork in Hotel St. Regis, New York. A- BRIEF DESCRIPTION In the series of sketches appearing In thi3 paper deseriptivfe of New York's far-famed hotel, the St.. Regis, we have dwelt largely upon the utilitarian feat ures which make that hostelry pre-eminent. The St. Regis, however much It exf-els all other hotels In' the matter of safety, healthfulness, cuisine and pro visions for general comfort, has no equal from an artistic and decorative standpoint. To beautify its Interiors Mr. Haan, the proprietor, ransacked the art centers of the Old World. Each room, public or private, contains some thing in the way of decoration, furni ture, hangings or bric-a-brac that is' In teresting and distinctive. Among these numerous art objects, none, perhaps, Is more worthy of men tion than the rare old Flemish and Au busson tapestries of the sixteenth cent ury which adorn many of the most-frequented rooms. Art galleries contain no finer specimens of this highly prized handiwork. Four of these tapestries, by Von Zeunen, of Brussels, which are un usually large and most elaborately pat terned, represent scenes in the life of Solomon. A fine set of Aubusson's, illustrating La Fontaine's fables, are es pecially pleasing. Other pieces of tap estry scarcely less valuable and beauti ful and other art objects of great value and Interest are displayed here and there. And yet the St. Regis, with all Its wealth of artistic features combined bo happily with those things which minis ter more directly to one's comfort, the restaurant charges are no higher than at other hotels of the first class. Large well-furnished outside rooms (there are no others) cost but M a day. If bath in connection is desired, the charge is SI additional. A parlor, bedroom and bath may be had for S12 and upward. last night instructed its representative on the Peninsular Development League to vote against approving the location of the proposed high bridge across the Wil lamette at Hancock street, or any street south of Killingsworth avenue. The league discussed the location of the bridge at Its last meeting, but considered the question too big to decide without first hearing from the local clubs. The University Park Board- of Trade is the first club to act. The committee on fire hydrants wag in structed to attend the meeting of the United East Side Push Clubs next Tues day night, February 25, and present the claims of the Peninsula for fire hydrants and fire protection. R. G. Brand, M. C. Van Tyne and Mr. Joseph were appointed regular delegates to the Development League. The street committee reported that the petition for change of grades on Portsmouth avenue has been granted and that the change Is being advertised. SHOOTS HIMSELF DEAD Edison's Secretary a Suicide His Wife Tries to Die Also. "'WEST "ORANGE, N. J.. Feb. 17. John F. Randolph, treasurer of the Edison Manufacturing Company, of which Thom as Alva Edison Is president, committed suicide In the cellar of his residence' on New Valley Way today, by shooting him self in the head. It is believed that Mr. Randolph was temporarily insane, as neither in his busi nor his family affairs was there any known cause for the act. A near rela tive became mentally unbalanced a few years ago. Alphonse Westee, secretary of the Edi son Manufacturing Company, said today that Mr. Randolph's accounts 'were abso letely straight. Mr. Randolph was private secretary to Thomas A. Edison, and Mr. Edison was one of the first to reach his house after his death was known. That Mrs. Randolph did not follow her husband to death was due to the prompt and determined action of Mr. Edison. When he reached the house, Mrs. Ran dolph was hysterical, wringing her hands and crying out that she would kill her self. Mr. Edison followed Mrs. Randolph to the second floor and came upon her as she was about to throw herself from a window. He seized the frenzied woman, and after a hard struggle, succeeded in pulling her back to a place of safety.

The recently organized Portland Mer chant Tailors' Exchange held Its first an nual banquet at the Hotel Portland last night, and it was attended by practically the entire membership. The organization was1 formed some three months ago for the purpose of bringing the men engaged in this line of business together on a so cial basis. The organization is the fruit of considerable effort on the part of sev eral of the members, who, on recent vis its to New Tork and other Eastern cit ies, had occasion to come in contact with organizations In those places and believed that it would prove beneficial to secure some such affiliation here.
