16 THE MORNING OREGON IAN, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 17, 1908. E Girl Under Spell of Tongues of Fire Rolls Before Altar in Long Trance. GOES TO "HOLY OF HOLIES" After Vnbelievers Are Ejected From Tent, "High Priest" Glasgow Ex erts His Power and Strange Ceremonies Are Indulged In. During the long hours of yesterday aft ernoon a young woman, perhaps 20 years old. lay groveling in the dust upon the sward floor of the huge tent on Mt. Tabor hill that is being used as a place of worship by devout believers In the strange , doctrines of the Tongues of Fire. Kor hours the tent was practically de serted while other followers ot the iana, including ebony John Glasgow, the leader, visited each other in their private tents. In the throes of a hysterical tit of relig ious mania, the young woman rolled upon the floor, sobbing at times, then screaming, and utterly oblivious to- her ' surroundings. At times her body became rigid, then relaxing she was seized with violent convulsions. Iuring these pe riods of relaxation she uttered strange, but meaningless sounds, words, perhaps, to those who are acquainted with the lan guage, but absolutely without kinship to any known tongue. Glory In the Conversion. Occasionally a wandering brother, or a little child, was attracted to the prostrate girl before the altar and went inside the tent. They gloried and hallalujahed at her extreme, devotion and penitential mond. It was the time of her conversion, those wise in the lore of the Tongues of Klre explained, and the sounds she ut tered were the words of the Tongues which were visiting her and through her speaking to the people. Until darkness had fallen she lay in the sawdust and straw which had been t lirnn'n h&fnrA tli nlfnt Th.n ntlipVw hp. gan to arrive and soon the big tent was crowded with worshipers. Meanwhile, the, girl still lay apparently unconscious before the altar and in the sight of all, and sisters and brothers smiled and nod ded their satisfaction at her repentance. Exhortations of High Priest. Songs and hymns were sung without arosing the girl, and then Glasgow, the high priest arose to exhort the audience. Glasgow claims to be the representative of the prophet iSlijan upon earth and also claims many superhuman attributes. In appearance he looks much more like a Pullman porter, though an even casual observation will show that he is the best dressed man on the grounds. Glasgow talked in intelligible language for a few moments, then opened with what he and uis followers term the Tongues of f'ire. Soon the whole aud ience was also talking, wildly and inco herently, and the sway of his influence began. Men, women and children- hurried forward to hurl themselves upon the saw dust and straw beside the still prostrate girl, and shouts of glorification became audible for olocks around. Until long past midnight the shouts of triumphant enthusiasm sounded over the hillside and many a local resident wished the suburb had never been opened. Girl Taken to "Holy of Holies." By the time of the services many strang ers from the city had arrived on the scene and occupied seats in the tent. However, as soon as the Tongues ot Fire began to descend an ordeV of ejection was given. The prostrate girl and many others who by that time had also succumbed to the strange frenzy had been removed to a small tent in the rear of the large one, known as "The Holy of Holies." When this was done and all visitors ejected, the flaps of the big curtain were let down and fastened and the worship pers proceeded unseen and unmolested m their devotions. Occasionally there was an attempt to resist being ejected on the part of certain visitors, but badges as special officers were displayed by some of the more zealous worshipers and with each badge was supposed to be a weapon. Continued protests from residents of the locality to Chief Gritzmacher and Mayor Iane have caused no interference tvith the worshipers.

The Mount Hood Railway & Power Company may build around the town of Gresham because of difficulties in getting rights of way along the route already mapped out that would take the line through that city. General Manager Miller would skip Gresham altogether because of trouble over getting rights of way. Five property horders, covering about three-quarters of a mile of the route of the road, having refused to come to terms with the company, and the questions in volved must be fought through the courts if the original survey is fol lowed. Whut makes It particularly em barrassing to the Mount Hood Com pany is that the property-owners have secured the hearing of these cases for September, making it impossible for the construction forces to grade the line across the disputed tracts during the Summer. Further delay to the building of the railroad, that may post pone its completion for months, is the fact that the early construction of this piece of line is desired in order to haul steel over it to lay the track east of Gresham, where the grade is already built and awaits the laying of rails. Carloads of rails are arriving in the city from the Eastern manufac turers, but they cannot be used until they are hauled out to where they are needed. The property-owners who will not agree to the railroad company's price, hope because of these faefs to in fluence the company to come to terms, but General Manager Miller declares he is more likely to build around Gresham and leave these obdurate property-owners off the line of the road. Messrs. Clark and Gillls, of Los Ansfelcs, are expected to reach Port land this -week to look over the prop erty and they may decide the question of -whether to continue the line on the route already located or build a de tour around Gresham and the points where work is hulted by the demands of property-owners. MANAGERS SEEKING RIGHTS TO NEW PLAY BY HOWARD RUSSELL Oliver Mosier and John M. Blackwood Telegraph for Permission to Pro duce "The Swindler" in Los Angeles jo.,., .!,,. 2k , wJ?; HOWARD RtSSEI,!,, AUTHOR OWARD RUSSELL, the popular young Portland- actor and mem ber of the Baker Stock Company, whose original play, "The Swindler," -was given its first performance at the Baker last Sunday, has received at least two bona fide offers from fore most stock managers- to produce it should it meet with success in this city. Portland theater-goers have the reputation of being extremely critical and hard to piease, and for that rea son, principally, it is thought, manag ers in other cities are willing to risk playing the piece in their respective places of amusement should it be ac cepted by the critics and public here. Oliver Morosco, of the Burbank Theater, Los Angeles, one of the best known theatrical men in the West, and John M Blackwood, manager of Belasco Theater in the same city, have both wired for information re CONTINUES TO RISE River Stage Shows Increase at All Points.. FORECASTER IS OPTIMISTIC W hile Cascade Locks May Cease Op eration for Sliort Time, Little Damage Is Likely to Result From Flood Marine News. Despite the cooler temperature, the waters of the Willamette and Columbia Rivers continue to rise gradually. - al though not as rapidly as last week. If the present increase continues, upper river navigation will have to be limited to points below Cascade Locks, probably tomorrow. While all of the lower docks of this city are not yet inundated, those still free of water have been abandoned for the upper floors. Many of the Front and First-street merchants have moved all perishable goods and merchandise up stairs. A few of the regular steamboats ply ing between Portland and The Dalles managed to reach their terminals up the Columbia yesterday, but the steamer J. N. Teal was unable to negotiate the swift current near the locks and was forced to put back to Portland. The Dalles City and the Bailey Gatzert man aged to get through, but not without considerable work on the part of. the en gineers, who utilized all the energy of their engines. River men familiar with up-river con ditions say it Is their belief that, the rocks wll be forced to close down for a short period, probably today. In the event that the locks are forced to shut down temporarily, passengers and freight destined for Upper Columbia points will be transferred at Bonneville. In spite of the continued rise. Acting Forecaster Lodholz yesterday declared that he did not believe that the waters would rise above 21 feet at Portland. Yesterday., the Willamette River regis tered 20.4 feet, a rise of five-tenths of a -foot In 24 hours. It is expected that 20.6 will be reached this morning. At Rlparta, where a fall had been noticed- on Monday, a slight rise was re corded yesterday. At Lewiston a rise of three-tenths of a foot was recorded, and similar Increases are reported from all points above the lock. SLOOP STILL IS OUTSIDE Captain Bernays In His 18-Footer Has Xot Yet Reached Port. The 18-foot sloop Guiding Star, com manded by Captain J. A. Bernays. son of Rev. A. E. Bernays. of Portland, which is being sailed from Vancouver. B. C, to Portland, is still off the Columbia River, and has not been sighted since Sunday. Captain Kidston, of the steamship Rose City, reports having sighted the little craft Sunday night, and all appeared well aboard. In spite of her failure to reach the Co lumbia River, no fears are entertained for the safety of the little vessel, and her appearance is expected in the very near future. MMA.MIA TO SAIL SATURDAY Oriental Liner Will Take Flour and Lumber to Hongkong. The Portland & Asiatic Steamship Com pany's liner Xumantla, which was sched uled to sail earlier in the week, will not be able to clear before Saturday, as she is still loading flour at the Portland Flouring Mills dock and will probably complete her cargo Saturday. The Nu mantia Is to take 50,00!) barrels of flour to Hongkong. This shipment, together with several other cargoes sent out, In- OP "THE SWINDLER." garding Russell's play, -wanting to se cure options ou.it for Los Angeles. Mr. Russell is well known to both men, and Sunday morning received a mes sage from Mr. Morosco asking on what terms he could secure the rights, say ing that if it wi good ' enough for Portland and George Baker, he would take a chance on it before the first per formance. Towards evening another telegram came from Mr. Blackwood to Manager Eaker, requesting to know how the play went, -and what chances were for playing it at the Belasco. Letters have since come in from other Coast cities. Mr. Russell is to be congratulated on the real success of his first effort In the field of play writing, for the play 'has been spoken of in highest terms, both by Impartial critics and theater-goers, who feel themselves capable, of judging as to whether a play has merit or sot.

AYER CO., Manufacturing Chemists, Lowell, Mass. dicates that Portland will be credited by one of the largest totals for the month of June in the history of the port. It Is estimated that some 600,000 bushels of grain and grain products will have been exported from this port at the end of the current month. In addition to the N'umantia, two sail ing vessels have already cleared for the United Kingdom, and the French bark Vendee haa practically finished and will probably clear within a few days. This vessel will take 110,000 bushels, while the British steamship Madura is scheduled to carry 200.000 more when she leaves about the last- week of the month. Seattle Fleet Readies Nome.

(Special.) The steamer J. B. Stetson, of San Fran cisco, sailed today with a full cargo of lumber. The Stetson was delayed a day by the late arrival of passengers from Se attle.
