THE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, MAY 29, 1908. APPRDVA L BY SPIRITUALISTS Cottel Ordinance Indorsed by First Society, After Long Discussion. CLASH OF RIVAL FACTIONS State Society Proposes Changes in Measure Governing Mediums, but the First Society Sup ports Its Leader. Taking the stand that the Cottel antl medlum ordinance, recently Introduced in the City Council was for the purpose of eliminating so-called fakers from the ranks of spiritualism In Portland, the First Spiritual Society of this city last night, at a meeting called by the Oregon Btate Spiritualist Association, gained its point and those opposed to the issue, realizing defeat, were compelled to ad journ before accomplishing any of the objects they had In view. The state organization, which opposed the ordinance on the grounds that it took away from mediums certain personal lib erties, was completely routed by the local society. As a result of the conditions arising at last night's meeting, which was held at 501 Yamhill street, the only way open for the state body to gain its meas ures, which were presented in the form of a petition suggesting amendments to the original ordinance, will be to allow the passage of the ordinance, unprotested, and, then fight for the adoption of the amendment as, drafted by themselves. This Is the only course open if the council acts on tlie. request of the spiritualists themselves. Harrison J). Barrett was on. hand and read the ordinance as it has been decided to return it to the Council for passage, The ordinance, as it now stands, is slight ly different in several respects from the original document, but still contains the feature declared objectionable by the members of the state association. The amendment which the state body wished adopted would restore certain privileges which the ordinance, when passed as It stands at present time, will eliminate. John Slater, a note-reading medium, and several others spoke. Mr. Slater maintained the stand he originally took In opposition to the ordinance. Mr. Bar rett read the ordinance and cited inci dents where similar documents had been passed In other cities, and not to the detriment of the "honest medium,' as contended by the state society. Mrs. Rmily Driscoll, President of the First Spiritual Society, led In the advocanv of the ordinance as It now stands. Mrs. Sophia Seip, as President of the State As sociation, lead the opposing taction. Sev eral others of note in local spiritualistic circles also debated on the issues. The vote of the First Spiritual Society in favor of the ordinance carried unani mously, although it was informally put before the meeting. The petition suggesting changes In the ordinance over which the discussion waged follows We. the Board of State Rpl ritualists' As- j ociation or Oregon, chartered under the National Spiritualists Association at Wash ington. D. C. chartered- for the purpose of religious rights and protection, to encour age Spiritual medlumshlp. Spiritual unfold ment In Ita various phases and gifts, known se clairvoyance, clear-seeing, clalrraudlance, clear hearing, trance, inspiration, prophecy, paychotnetry. seership, do recognize medi ums and medtumshlp as the necessary and legitimate channel through which all proof of our religion and religious rlghta of Spir itualism has made Its advent to the world today. On these various phases of medlumshlp. we have founded our religion- and "religious rights," to demonstrate our religion and ceremonies of progress and right. Hence, we, as Spiritualists, do petition this committee on ordinance, known as the "Barrett-Cotter ordinance, to strike from Section 1 the words "clairvoyance," py ehometry." "spirits," "medlumshlp." "seer ship." "prophecy," as those terms are used together with "trance," "inspiration," "clairaudlance. "clear hearing." "clair voyance," "clear seeing." used as phases belonging to grades of de velopment In our religion. Hence we would petition, the honorable -committee of the Council to exempt "Spiritual Medium ship" from taxation; provided their work is confined to work known as Spiritual Medt umshlp. We would further claim: Spirit ual Medlumshlp does not depend upon or recognise as necessary, placards "Stars." "Hands," "Heads," "Braces," "Love po tions:" selling stocks of njr kind, shape or manner, or other lotions, as belonging to or having any part or parcel of the re ligion or religious right of Spiritualism, or Spiritual MedJomshlp. Those who sell stocks, lotions, charms, should pay the requisite license or fine. Our motto Is: "Cultivate Spiritual unfoldment and ad vancement to the higher and holler Spirit ual attainments." Section 3 We heartily indorse this sec tion and urge its adoption, and recommend that the fine be increased to $1000 Instead of $100. We would like to urge the following Sug gestion: That this honorable body of Coun ritmen draw the line of discrimination and distinction between licenses issued, if li cences there be Issued; That each branch of work permitted by the Council bear stamp upon same of the profession. Let us soy here: No person or persons resorting to loud advertising, such as "Hands." "Heads," "Stars." "Faces" and advertisements, such as seen and known as "Kit mo." Neganze." "Nibbles." "Marsh field." "DeMare," "Mllford," "Travers," and all others who advertise in like manner, have anything whatever to do with Spirit ualism or any branch of Its teachings. Many stargnsers would undoubtedly prefer to pay a nominal license and thereafter he at peace. license, in our estimation, should be governed according to lengthy ad vertisements allowed on bills at cafes, thea ter curtains. and placards Introduced through our city. Such can afford to divide a large share of their spoil, aa spoil It has come to be. Lastly: We would petition for Spiritual mediums' freedom from taxation, granting public and private circles, seances, public and private meetings to be free to re ceive and give messages. That we shall be known and recognized as members of or be longing to some of the Spiritual churches, societies or associations chartered from the National Spiritualists' Association of America. Iastly: Without presenting our petition to your honorable body in sections, we do commit them to you for your consideration" and adoption. Signed by committee. REV. SOPHIE) B- RR1P.

Officials of the Gould roads were tn conference today concerning the affairs . of the Pittsburg Terminal Railway Company. Interest to the amount of J600.000 on the first mort gage bonds falls due on Monday and doubt was expressed in financial circles today whether this interest would Be met. Today's meeting of the Pittsburg Ter minal directors was preceded by that of the Wabash board. No official statement was issued, but it was announced that another meeting of the Pittsburg Ter minal board would be held tomorrow. when some action regarding the Interest payment will probably be taken.

The financial condition of the Pittsburg Terminal Railway, which owns a major ity of the stock of the Wheeling & Lake Brie Road, and is in turn controlled by the Wabash, is not especially encour aging. -For the fiscal year ended June 30, the Pittsburg Terminal reported a deficit of about J500.000, and for the nine monins OI me current year earnings wcifl J4S0.U0O net, with fixed charges of about JOUO.OOO. In view of the condition of nttsoura Terminal's finances, some significance at taches to the report from Pittsburg that officials of the Grand Trunk Railway and the Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburg Road have been making an Inspection tour of the Wabash-Pittsburg Terminal systems.

Pink Pills Are J oat tha Remedy Beeanse They -At Effectlv and Cannot Harm ' Even the Moat Tellcata Constitution. The young mother who finds that her health and strength does not return after confinement needs a tonic. After the nurse has gone and the doctor has stopped his visits a weakness often con tinues which unfits her for her house hold duties and It is then that tonic- treatment is needed. But great care must be used in the selection of a strengthening medicine, especially if the mother is nursing the child. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, which contain no opiate or other harmful drugs, are just suited to the mother s needs. Mrs. Ethel K. Foster, of 1808 South Sheffield avenue, Indianapolis, Ind., bears witness to this when she 6a vs: "After the birth of my two children I became in a terrible run-down condition and was weak and sick for about a year and a half. . I was always up and around but would have to lie down many times during the day. I couldn't do much work for I would get so weak and tremble so that X would have to lie down. I suffered constantly with headaches, which were in front and on top of my head. There was a feeling on top of my head as though a weight was coming down on it. I would get so dizzy that I couldn't torn around quickly. If I did I would fall down. My heart was weak and I would get ont of breath after any little exertion. Many times I would start ont for a walk to get a little exercise but was so weak I could go only a little ways. I lost in flesh until I weighed about 90 pounds. I was pale and yellow, my lips had no color and my eyes were sunken in my head. I looked like a dead woman. "I was under two doctors' care for about nine months. While they kept encouraging me, I grew no better and was completely discouraged. I was induced to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and after I had taken them a while I felt so much better that I gave them good trial and was cured. My com plexion is healthy and I weigh about 1 25 pounds, which was my weight before being sick." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or will be sent, postpaid, on receipt or tmce. 60 cents per box: six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Uompany, Schenectady, N.

A gale of wind which reached a greater velocity than has been recorded In Chicago for seven years, tonight preceded an electrical storm which did considerable damage in all parts of the city. Several per sons were injured by debris blown from buildings by the gale, and a church and a half score of other build ings were struck by lightning. The etorm was the culmination- of a day of atmospheric disturbances, which be gan with daylight and continued in termittently until nearly midnight. The greatest instance of damage oc curred when an 80-foot iron chimney was blown from the roof of an eight- story . building at No. 119 Lasalle street. The chimney fell across i court, breaking windows in the Bre voort hotel from the 14th to the sixth stories, and also crashed through, a skylight in a restaurant adjoining. One man was severely cut by broken glass and scores of guests In the hotel and patrons of the restaurant were thrown into a panic. The high wind, which reached a velocity of 86 miles an hour, crippled telegraph and telephone wires through dut the city. For a short time the city was almost cut oft from communl cation with the outside world, but most of the damage In this regard was tem porary and was soon adjusted. The day opened with a severe elec trical and rain storm, which was almost a cloudburst. The humidity engen dered by the outburst increased during the day until 96.6 per cent was re corded and the temperature also mounted eteadlly, the maximum being 79 deg.. 17 points above the minimum. The rainfall for the morning and even lng storm was .95 of an inch, the heavi est experienced here in a long period. The storm was a portion of the dis turbance which had been hanging over the Middle West for several days. Lo cal conditions had kept this city free from disturbances until today. . Des Moines River Rising Fast. DES MOINES, May 28. With heavy rains last night here and up the state. the Des Moines River today is rising at the rate of one tenth of a foot every twenty minutes. Many families in the low lying sections have been forced to move out. When the up-river floods reach Des Moines proper it is believed the river will be forced to fourteen feet. The dan ger line is fifteen feet and if that Is reached little can be done to prevent a vast amount of damage. Many acres of corn and gardening are already totally ruined. sx Two Towns in Storm's Path. GUTHRIE, Okla.. May 28. A tornado swept through the district between Henrietta and Navlna.
