HONOR MEMORY
OF ST. PATRICK
Sons and Daughters of Erin,
6000 Strong, Gather at
the Armory.
IRISH SONG PROGRAMME
Grcitt Audience Cheers Singers to
the Kcho Rev. Father Peter C.
Yorke, of San Francisco,
Deliver the Oration.
Six thousand people gathered at the
Armory last night to participate in the
St. Patrick's day celebration, which was
held in the spacious drill hall. It was
one of the lars?t at and most patriotic.
perhaps, that ever attended a like cele
oration in the Pacific Northwest..
An excellent musical programme, in
which prominent local singers sang
Irish folk songs and airs, was followed
by an address by Rev. Father Peter C.
Vorke. of Han I-ranrHsco.
Father York pavn a masterly tils
course on the life of St. Patrick and
orttemporaneous Irish history. He con
eluded his address with an arraignment
of modern tendencies In America.
The exercises were held under the
aufpicrs of the Ancient Order of Hi-
bernlan5. which planned the event with
pr-at csre and carried It through to
unprecedented success, ine proceeds,
amounting well into the hundred., are
destined for the Christian Brothers'
Business College. Father Yorke came
to Portland to take part as the guest
of the Ancient Ordr of Hibernians.
The majority of the big assemblage
were Irish or of Irish descent. The flag
of the Emereld Isle hung from the gal
lery over the speaker's platform, side by
sld with the Stars and Stripes. Irish
songs brought forth thunders of applause
If the air was a merry one there was a
respondent burst of merriment: if it was
more solemn the sons of St. Patrick for
lowed the music back to the far-away
country of their ancestors and not one
but many a silent tear fell.
The programme was opened by the solo,
"Sweet Eileen Aroon," by Dom J. Zan
Professor J. Hutchison acting as accom
panlJt. Miss Kathleen Irwler sang
"Kllarney" with great effect and waa
heartily recalled. Frank D. Hennesy
sang "Barney From Sweet Kilarncy," and
otter lively melodies, being recalled no
les than live times. Miss Helen TJghtner
acted as nccompanlst. The MistcrliiK-rs
Quartet sang "Oft In the Stilly Night
and "An Irish Folk Song," both with fine
effect. Mrs. Walter Reod's rendition of
"Kathleen Mavourneen" brought forth
deafening applause.
Archbishop Christie then introduced
Father Yorke. the speaker, who spoke
for more than an hour, holding the close
attention of the great audience through
out. Until near the close of his address,
which was largely in the nature of a
sermon. Father Yorke confined himself
In the subject of St. Patrick and the
pvents with which the world was con
cerned in St. Patrick's day. It was In
applying St. Patrick's creed to the pres
ent that the speaker paid his respect to
modern economic, political and moral
conditions.. He engaged in no person
alities, hut touebed on the graft investi
gation In San Francisco. He said, in
part
"This Nation of ours was founded by
the Fathers upon an idea. It was
founded by them upon the Idea that man
was called for liberty and that man was
worthy of liberty, and that if in ths
pant there had been excesses of liberty
the cure for it was not repression of
liberty, not a strong and centralized
government, but that the cure for the
excesses of liberty was more liberty. It
was upon that idea that this American
Government was founded : namely, that
every citizen of this Nation, every man
who came loyally to serve the flag, every
man and woman born within its borders
should have the birthright of freedom,
the best things in this world that are
granted is the pursuit of life, liberty
and happiness.
But oh. how has the fine gold become
dim and the stones of the truth of the
centuries scattered at the head of every
street! What do we worship here today
In America? Is it liberty? Wc worship
gold; we worship success: we worship
power. I et a man's means be so low
that no muckrake can ever reach them
those means are Justified if they spell
success. Let a man's character be so
Mack that no hue In the infernal regions
could add anything to it. he will be
feted and toasted and admired as long
as he has money. Let a man lio. let
him steal, let him break his promise,
let him betray his best friendn. let him
descend to the lowest round of the sty
--It all counts for nothing and he is
w!ned and dined and held in high es
teem if he does not fall completely, but
by some chance gets into place, into
power.
"Ah, we are talking about the Japa
nese; we are afraid they are coming
in to conquer us, to burn our cities.
Our yellow press is screaming In alarm
of the Japanese, and the prospects of
their war with China and saying we
must keep them all out. 'Ladies and
gentlemen, they are not our dangers
our fleet can take care of the Japanese.
But what fleet, what army, can take
care of the enemy within the citadel,
can cure the dry rot eating the hearts
out of the American people?
"As we stand -face to face with that
mighty pyramid of snow. Mount Hood,
and look down upon this city, I ask
you: What Is eating the heart out of
Portland? What Is eating the heart
out of San Francisco, out of the whole
T'nited States today? What question
ure you asking yourselves today and
saying they must be solved?
"Two are how to cope with corrup
tion in politics, how to settle the eco
nomic difficulties between the rich and
the poor man. the employer and the
laborer. What answer has this day,
with its centuries of progress, with its
telephones and lis teU-graphs. with Its
perfection of arts and sciences, with
lt.s monster engines, with Its lightnings
harnessed to man's Inventions, with its
"streams brought under control and do
ing the work in a trice that once was
laboriously performed by man?
"What answer have we for corrup
tion In pontics? "he same old thing
"turn the rascals out ! Yes. turn the
rascals out the same old tune, rever
berating down the corridors of Ameri
can htoiory. like a tin can tied to a
dog's tail turn the rascals out! And
when you have turned the rascals out,
you get bigger rascals In! The villains
that steal the door-knobs are succeeded
bv the villains that carry off the doors
themselvoe.
"Yes. turn the rascals out. follow
the plan that has been followed In the
pruft prosecutions. I understand some
tf you are awful anxious to hear about
tl.e San Francisco g.ft prosecutions.
Well. I will tell you a story. After the
San Francisco earthquake I saw this
true story tn an Eastern paper it
must be true It said a band of cattle
were being driven down Mission street
in San Francisco when the earthquake
came. At the first shock the street
was rent and a gaping hole appeared.
All the cattle went down and disap
peared in this hole. When the second
shock came the fissure closed and
nothing of the cattle was left in sight
but one solitary ox's tail waving in
the preeze.
"When L left San Francisco last
Sunday night all left of the graft
prosecutions was some poor old
donkey's t ail waving in the air
under an avalanche of affidavits!
Affidavits of 50. UO words, of 8t.uoO
words, yes. of more words than
that, and every one of them a lesson
In a nice, parliamentary way of calling
another man a liar So down there in
the graft prosecutions they can read
affidavits and take their choice."
FATHER YORKE SCORES HENEY
Inclined to Distrust Sincerity of the
Noted Graft Prosecutor.
Father Yorke gave It as. his belief, in
an interview yesterday, that thei people of
Portland harbor several misconceptions
regarding, the graft investigation being
made in San Francisco. He also ad
vances the theory that a general misun
derstanding may exist as regards the
real character of Francis J. Heney, the
noted graft prosecutor. Father Yorke is
not an admirer of Heney and is not slow
to say so. Without going into details,
he expressed himself as doubtful of the
prosecutor's sincerity. As to the merits
of Heney "s recent verbal combats with
Senator Fulton. Father Yorke said he
knew nothing, but inasmuch as Fulton
was lighting Honey, he believed "the man
must be all r.ght."
"Recent developments in these graft
eases,.' said he, "throw a very peculiar
light on the methods of prosecution. For
example, two of the most respected
clergymen of San Francisco, Rabbi Kap
lan and Rabbi Nieto, have made affi
davits which Special Prosecutor Heney
calls rank perjuries. What the decision
will be. 1 cannot say just now. but it
looks to mc as if he had reached the
turn of a very lon lane.
"As far as F could learn, the opinion
of the Appellate Court seems to be up
held by all reputable California lawyers.
The Supreme Court of California is re
garded as comparing favorably with the
Supreme Court of any other state in the
Vnion. now and in past times, although
attacked bitterly from so many quarters.
Its Chief Justice. Mr. Beatty, is a South
erner and an old-time Democrat, yet he
has been elected time and time again in
California, which is overwhelmingly Re
publican, because of the public confi
dence in his legal knowledgs and per
sonal integrity."

the instigation of the Sheriff of- Pike
county. Kentucky, and will be taken to

XO BIDS TO EXTEND MAIN'S
Improvement of Tacoma Water Sys
tem Meets More Delays.
TACOMA. Wash., Jtarch 17. (Spe
cial.) No bids were received today for
the building; of the water main to
brin-r Maplewood springs into Tacoma.
If bids had been received, no contract
could have been awarded, because on
the application of ex-Mayor A. V.
Fawcett. Judge Reid., of the Superior
Court, granted a restraining order to
prevent any such action until the
Mayor, the Commissioner and Council
men Doud and Whitman could show
that they were proceeding according
to law. .
The restraining order was not un
expected, but the feature of contract
to bid on the main was a surprise ljoth
to the Mayor and the Councilmen. It
had been generally believed that the
specifications had been made up es
pecially to suit some contractor, but
there was none on hand to bid.
The injunction is in accord with the
ideas of Controller Mead, who has re
peatedly said that the creation of the
"Maplewood extension fund" it utterly
impossible for the simple reason that
there is no money to put in it.

LAWYERS IN CLASH
Disagree as to Testimony in
X-Radium Case.
LIE PASSED IN COURT
Deputy Prosecutor Haney and At
torney John F. Watts Have Heat
ed Altercation Jury Fails to
Agree as to Smith's Guilt.
I
The affair-; of the X-Radium Institute
were aired yesterday when Deputy Dis
trict Attorneys Haney and Easterly took
up the prosecution of David Smith,
charged with contributing to the delin
quency of 17-year-old Jennie Signers. Tht
case went to the jury at 4:50 o'clock.
The jurors sought until 9:30 last night
to come to an agreement, but could not
do so. and were discharged by Judge
Gantenbeln. of the Circuit Court, before
whom the case was tried.
John F. Watts acted as counsel for the
defendant and during the afternoon en
tered into an altercation with Deputy
Haney as to whether or not Watts
had talked with Miss Sigher's
father in the corridor during .the
morning court session. Mr. Haney
thought he had seen the two to
gether, but Watts grew wrathy and cried
"You're a liar."'' Mr. Haney replied that
Watts was not far from being one.
when the court interposed between the
warring attorneys, and Mr. Haney sought
the pardon both of the court and jury.
Watts, however. In a surly mood, con
tinually repeated in the presence of the
court and jury during the remainder of
the trial that Mr. Haney owed him a
apology. As Mr. Haney had already
apologized for his actions, he failed to
look at the matter In that light.
During the morning session, Miss
Sighers wast placed on the stand. She
was asked explicitly by counsel if Smith
dirt not pay her a visit while she was
at the Home of the Good Shepherd. She
replied in the affirmative and was asked
if she did not write a note in endearing
terms and slip it into Smith's overcoat
pocket. She flatly denied having done so.
When court convened at 2 o'clock yes
terday afternoon she was again called to
the witness stand and handed the note
in question. With a flush of anger she
took the paper and quickly tore it into
bits. Thereupon she was severely rep
rimanded by Judge Gantenbein. who
came very near giving her a jail sen
tence for contempt of court.
Smith was placed on the witness stand
during the afternoon. He. said he 'paid
Dr. Ernest Heymans 1100 to attend the
girl, but said he did not know her actual
condition at that time, and did not con
spire with Heymans and Dr. William'
Kisen to perform a criminal operation.
He frankly admitted, however, that he
had intended to marry Miss Sighers,
and that he met her at Seaside.
A. S. Sighers. when called to the stand,
said that Smith was told when he talked
the affair over with Judge Frazer, of
the Juvenile Court, that he had beisf
tell the truth regarding it, or it would
be made hard for him. Mr. Sigher's
memory was defective regarding any evi
dence which might incriminate Smith,
but had a distinct recollection regarding
other things surrounding the case.

Stevens Praises lioetnai s.
Work.
Doulits Canal's Vtility.
HAVANA. March 17. John F. Stevens.
the former chief engineer of the Pan
ama Canal, who Is the guest here of
Governor Magoon, said to the Associ
ated Press representative last mgni
that In his opinion there was no ques
tion of the possibility of the comple
tion of the canal by the end of 114,
and If necessary it might be. finished
two vears earlier. Lieutenant-Colonel
Goetlials, he said, is pushing on the
work with such astonishing celerity
that even the most ardent advocate of
the canal is amazed at the ' results
achieved.
Mr.. Stevens believed also 'that the
cost of the work would be considerably
under $300,000,000. possibly as low- as
$250,000,000, Including the price of the
French concession. He questioned, how
ever, the military value of the canal.
He did not believe it would pay the
United States commercially, unless
there occurred great changes in the
trade relations between the United
States and the South American repub
lics. He desired to correct the impres
sion that he had adversely criticised the
present management of the canal.

outer husk of the berry only. We, in preparing
Formerly called " DE-TAN-ATED" COFFEE
have gone a step further. By special machinery we have
' extracted the chaff which nature has placed in -the center
of the berry. We discard this because it is useless and
contains in a concentrated form (about 10) a poisonous,
corrosive, bitter tasting form of tannic acid.
The result is a pure, clean, healthful coffee that will go
further and taste better than any other brand you have
ever used. Please look into the subject. (
