PEOPLE WILL NOT
GLEAN UP YARDS
Attempt to Enforce Ordinance
Requiring Cutting of Grass
and Weeds Fails.
VIOLATIONS NUMBER 2000
Police and Legal Departments of
City Government Swamped Jfew
Ordinance Is Expected to
Remedy Situation.
Lawbreaking on the part of Portland
property-owners in refusing to cut weeds
and tall grass from their premises has
reached such enormous proportions that
the authorities are no longer able to han
dle the situation. Vhi a summary was
made of complaints now on file with the
police It was found, yesterday, that the
total Is 2000. A solution of the problem
is regarded as an Immediate necessity.
For weeks the complaints have been
accumulating. Chief of Police Gritz
macher has had 16 men at work notify
ing property-owners of the disgraceful
condition of their property, checking up
on promises to comply with the law and
obtaining evidence where prosecutions
were decided upon. Captain Moore has
been directing the work and he has kept
eight officers on the east side and six on
the west side. Detective Inskeep has been
kept continually in the tax collecting
department of the sheriff's office, looking
up the ownership of lots about which
complaints had been made.
Legal Department Swamped.
Ten days ago the City Attorney's office
Issued complaints for nearly 100 property
owners, the list including many promi
nent people. But as the number kept In
creasing it was found impossible to han
dle the cases. City Attorney Kavanaugh
has a large variety of city legal matters
continually on his hands and could not
handle all the grass complaints without
abandoning everything else. Municipal
Judge Van Zantc, too, would have time
for nothing else should he attempt to
hear all the cases.
A solution of the problem is believed
to be near at hand should a recent or
dinance passed by the City Council be
declared legal. This ordinance provides
that where weeds and tall grass are
found, they shall be cut by the city and
the cost assessed against the property, to
stand as a lien until the cost Is paid.
The city could easily obtain a necessary
force of laborers to carry out the work.
The ordinance was passed along by the
Executive Board to Mr. Kavanaugh for
his opinion as to Its validity. He Is now
investigating its merits from a legal
standpoint.
Unless that plan is adopted the author
ities admit that some new method of
dealrhg with the situation will have to be
taken up. The present law is defective.
It. provides that grass must be kept cut
except where used an an ornament or
food for "man or beast."
Escape on Technicality.
Scores of those already arrested have
made use of this section of the law, de
claring that they were growing timothy
In their yards for the use of horses or
cows. Others have had the effrontery to
assert that they regarded rank weeds as
highly ornamental.
Of course, it would be an easy matter
to disprove these assertions, but some
property-owners are stubborn and hire
lawyers to bring up technicalities. A trial
means the examination of witnesses and
payment of witness' fees. Get a verbpse
lawyer, retained by a wealthy client, and
he will use up half the morning session
of the Municipal Court with the case.
In view of such a condition there is a
reluctance on the part of Deputy City
Attorney Sullivan to issue more grass
complaints, those now out being sufficient
to occupy many days of the city's time.
However, Chief Gritzmacher is going
ahead with the work of looking up viola
tions of the grass ordinance, in the hope
that the placing in effect of the new ordin
ance will enable a wholesale grass cut
ting bee at an early date. In nearly
every case the complaints are made on
vacant lots, although a few Instances
are recorded of weedy front yards.
MAY COME HERE TO LIVE
Captain Baker, of Army, Formerly
Stationed In Portland, a Visitor.
Captain Jesse M. Baker, of the Quar
termaster's Department of the Army, ar
rived tn Portland yesterday. Captain
Baker was stationed here a few years ago
and was in charge of the Quartermaster's
Department at San Francisco at the time
of the disaster in April. 1906. Supplies
were received and distributed under his
direction whll. the Army authorities had
charge. After that he was ordered to St.
Louis, where he has served until now.
His next post of duty Is to be Manila,
for which place he sails on the next
transport leaving San Francisco. The
Philippine post is not a new one to Cap
tain Baker, for he was Quartermaster
Captain of the transport Grant (now
dredge Chinook) and served as Depart
ment Quartermaster under Governor
Taft.
There Is a probability that when Cap
tain Baker completes bis term of serv ice
at the Islands, and maybe before that
time, he will be promoted to the rank of
Major, though when asked concerning
that matter yesterday he replied he was
glad to see Portland again. Whatever
may be the intention of the Government
with reference to Captain Baker's promo
tion, he expects to retire on request, on
completion of his service at Manila, and
Intimates that he may come to this city
to take up his residence.
Captain Baker was at West Point as a
lad. although he did not graduate; Is a
Civil War veteran, and when the Spanish
War broke out enlisted as a private, but
was soon put Into the Quartermaster's
Department and commissioned In the
volunteer service.
At the close of the Spanish War he was
given a commission as Captain in the
regular service. In which capacity he has
since served.
Captain Baker, when In Portland pre
viously, was dubbed "Grover Cleveland."
but now is nicknamed "Bill Taft." As
an Army officer he Is reticent about poli
tics, but a few moments' conversation Is
sufficient to discover his enthusiastic ad
miration for Mr. Taft.

Detective Heilyer Leaves Today for
Indianapolis to Tteturn Doc

Dr. J. S. Courtney, charged with man
slaughter in connection with the death
of 13-year-old Stella Bennett, who died
from the results of malpractice In a
criminal operation, will reach -Portland
to tlnd he is required to furnish $10,000
ball or go to prison. The amount was
fixed in that sum yesterday forenoon at a
conference between District Attorney
Cameron and Judge Van Zante.
Detective Heilyer will leave today for
Indianapolis, Ind., to get charge of Court
ney, who is yet In jail there, and who
will be held without bond pending his
return to Portland. Friends made an
effort to have the authorities here ar
range for his release on bond, but this
was refused as Improper procedure. Dis
trict Attorney Cameron said the prisoner
could not be given bonds until his ar
rival In Portland.
It was then asked by his lawyer, J. H.
Stevenson, that an officer be sent at once
for Courtney, but extradition papers are
not made out in five minutes. Judge
Cameron said if there was any great
hurry it might be the best plan for the
anxious friends and relatives of Court
ney to pay for sending an officer back,
as the state certainly would not pay
until the regular papers authorizing the
expenditure and assuring extradition of
the man, had been made out. These
papers were issued last night and for
warded to Governor Chamberlain for
signature.
WANTS NEW SCH00LH0USE
Center Addition Board of Trade Will
Petition Directors.
The Center Addition Board of Trade
which was recently organized with J.
Tresslcr as president and C. T. Groat
secretary, has started a movement for
a new schoolhouse for that portion
of the district. A committee on school
grounds was appointed at the last
meeting:. It was decided to ask the
Board of Education to purchase a block
of ground at some convenient point in
Center Addition, and then provide for
the erection of a suitable building; when
it can be done. There is a small build
ing in Center Addition on leased
ground, but the Board of Trade be
lieves that the district should own the
school ground and put up at least four
rooms next year.
The present schoolhouse is used only
for primary grades and the remainder
of the pupils attend the West-avenue
building, which Is nearly a mile south.
The Center Addition Board of Trade
will also endeavor to secure street im
provements, water mains. electric
lights and Are protection. The mem
bers of the board believe that the
property-owners can improve their own
ctreets cheaper than by contract and
will ask that they be allowed to do
this. The next meeting will be held
Tuesday night, August 4, at the home
of the secretary, C. T. Groat, on Villa
avenue.
SECTIONALISM OF THE EAST
Few There Care to Know Anything
About the West. .
PORTLAND. July 22. To the Editor.)
An extract from the Brooklyn Eagle in this
morning's Oregonian prompts me to send
you this: The Eagle complains that the
West Is arraigned against the East, and that
sectionalism" Is the result. If this esti
mate of the situation Is true, it Is fair to
ask "how did It happen?" Who Is to blame
that It Is so? Is it the West? Did It begin
the drawing of lines across the country ?
No, emphatically, no. The East began
It. and keeps it up to this very day, and
now that she Is about to be beaten out of
her narrow game she whines like a baby
In distress. New York has regarded her
self as the tnlted States, and she can
hardly yet conceive that a man who does
not hail from "Ne Yok" Is worth conslder-
jlng. afid a for any pubUo measures that
originate in the unimportant and unin
formed "West they, of course, must be re
vised anii corrected in the East or they axe
no good at all. .
The newspapers of New York, and of all
the Atlantic cities, in fact, are essentially
provincial. They do not see much beyond
their own noses, because of their Intense
egotism. This peculiarity, to a consider
able rieeree. extends westward to Chicago.
As general vehicles of news, from the -world
at large, not one of them will compare fa
vorably with The Oregonlan. These sup
posed to be great National journals mag
nify everything local, and content them
selves with a hodge-podge of the newr. out
Bide. The result is that the people of the
Atlantic states and even of the Central
West, know almost nothing about the Pa
cific Coast. Some of them scarcely know
there Is such a state as Oregon, and when
you say to an Inquirer that you hall from
Portland, Or., he looks at you In a qulzxical
way and regards you as he would one who
claimed to be an inhabitant or the moon.
Let me illustrate.
Portland had- a I Rom Festival the first
week of June that, as I learn (for I i
In Illinois at the time), was a great suc
cess In every way. It lasted nearly a week,
cost over $100,000. was attended by 150.000
visitors, and its floats and parades and tha
decorations of the cit were as fine as were
ever seen anywhere in the world, and yet.
so far a I aw. there was not a line of
mention of this event In a New York
paper. Nor did I see a notice of It in
Chicago paper. There may have been
something said about it In some of them.
but if so It escaped me.
On the other hand. If a ruffian kick over
an Indian tobacco sign on Broadway, we.
of the unimportant West, are expected to
read all the details in a half-column, sent
by telegraph all the way across the conti
nent. Or if a spoiled young woman, whose
father has fleeced the public out 'of a few
million dollars, marries a rotten sprig of
European royalty we are expected to gloat
over the pictures of the happy pair in our
home papers, and read all the disgusting
particulars.
But, never mind! The scepter has de
parted from Judah and the lawgivers from
between his feet and New York and the
Atlantic Ccast generally will in time learn
to appreciate and respect us. Until then,
with perfect serenity of soul, we can await
the Inevitable result. What the Eagle
calls "sectionalism" Is but the unavoidable
change that worth and weight have
wrought, and that change will go on with
increasing momentum as the years roll by.
We here read the home news, and we read
New York. too. They read New York and
stop at that. New York Is stuck on her
self. She thinks she is "It." We can't
alTord to cut ourselves off, or pen ourselves
up in that way. We want to see the whole
programme, and try to appreciate all that
is good everywhere. We are on broader and
better ground than they and the founda
tions under our feet are solid. The past
may have been New York's, but the future
must and will be largely ours. No power
on earth can prevent it. and there la no
power In the sky that wants to prevent it.
The time will come when the Atlantic Coast
will be glad to know us. and shake hands
with us. and in the meantime we smile at
Its provincialism. New York must, ulti
mately, take a less conspicuous place In the
affairs of the Nation, and that result will
come from causes she cannot set aside, even
by calling them -""sectionalisms."

INSTITUTE AT END
Session of Catholic Teachers
Great Success.
ADDRESS BY ARCHBISHOP
Declares Teaching Is Most Sublime
Work In Which Man Can Engage
and Commends Schools
of Church.
The closing session of the institute.
under the auspices of the Catholic Ed
ucation Association, was held yester
day in the assembly room of the West
Side High School. It was marked Dy
many Interesting addresses by educa
tors from various parts of the coun
try. Several notable addresses were
delivered by specialists in music, math
ematics and literature. Professor
Frederick W. Goodrich, choir director
of St. Mary's Cathedral, in his lecture
on "The Educational Value of Music,"
said that the selection of music should
be adapted to- the age and tempera
ment of the child.
Much music." said Professor Good
rich, "such as the "venusbergr rrom
Tannhauser and ..e love scenes from
'Tristan and Isolde' are positively
baneful In their influence. Experfc-
enced teachers have found that much
of Chopin's beautiful, though morbid.
music produces a deleterious enect.
In his second lecture professor trooa-
rich, speaking on "The Teacher as An
Aid to Church Music," gave many prac
tical suggestions as to a graded course
of instruction in church music, in or
der that the children of today might
be properly prepared for choir work.
Higher mathematics were very ably
expounded by John McNulty in his talk
on "Some Applications of Science." He
made a point of the application of
geometry and trigonometry to seaman
ship, using navigating instruments in
his demonstrations. te aiso wonta
out many nautical problems in lati
tude and longitude, in order to show
how easy it is to make interesting a
usually dry study.
G. W. Hamilton, principal 01 xne
Trades School, spoke on "Domestic
Sciences and Industrial Training in the
High School."
. Miss Annie Dlmlck, principal 01 tne
Brooklyn School, spoke very interest
ingly on "Memory Selections in th
Primary Grades."
President A. P. Armstrong, of the
Portland Business College, closed the
morning session with a lecture on "A
Course in Business Practice."
During the entire course of the in
stitute it has been customary to open
the afternoon session with musical
numbers, and yesterday Miss Suza
Jones, soprano soloist, rendered De
libe's "Thou Great. Mighty Sea," and
"The Years at the Spring," by Mrs.
Beach.
Mme. Daurla gave a magnificent ren
dition of "The Bolero." from Verdi's
opera, "The Sicilian Vespers." In re
sponse to an encore she sang "He
Ixves Me, He Loves Me Not," by
Mascagnl. The concluding musical
number was sung by Miss Anne
Ditchburn. The selection was entitled
"A Little Red Rose." Both wordB and
music were written by Rev. Father
Dominic, O. S. B., of Mount Angel, Or.,
who clayed the accompaniment.
Charles Friedel, Ph. D., made an ad
dress following the musical numbers,
reviewing the work done during the
week by the institute, commending the
president. Father O'Hara, and the other
officers, together with the teachers
who have attended.
Father Gallagher, president of Co
lumbia University, then made a brief
address, in which he counselled those
teachers who have the care of chil
dren in their last common-school year
to look closely into the capabilities of
their pupils, in order better to ascer
tain what course In high they should
follow.
Archbishop Christie made the clos
ing address of the institute, In which
he said;
"I am always glafl to do my humble
part toward lending a hand In the
sublimest work in which mortal man
may engage I speak of teaching. It
is a beautiful sight to me to see so
many here who have consecrated their
lives to the noblest of earth's voca
tions. "The Catholic Church - fosters a sys
tem of education the equal of any
secular system In the country and, in
order that teachers may be even better
prepared, if such a thing is possible,
this Institute has been established. I
promised your president that I would
say a few words on "Liturgy in the
Teaching of Religion,' in place of
Father Thompson, whose illness has
compelled him temporarily to absent
himself from the sessions of this insti
tute. The liturgy is, broadly speaking,
the adoration of our Divine Lord by
his children. It includes all forms of
services, in every language, for the
celebration of the mass.
"You will find in all Protestant
forms of services and prayers, particu
larly the apostles' creed, that a little
here and a little there has been taken
to supply the various forms for their
many rituals. In the Catholic Church
the priests throughout the archdiocese
are each to be likened unto a second
Moses, pleading for forgiveness for the
sins of the world. That is a liturgy,
and It is for that reason it is so bene
ficial as well as essential to teachings
in our schools."
As a fitting closing ceremony a sol
emn benediction at the cathedral was
sung to Gregorian music, officiated
over by Father O'Hara, assisted by
Fathers Gallagher and CantwelL

MONTGOMERY-STREET LINE
Protest Against the Suggested
Change.
PORTLAND, July 23. (To the Editor.)
While tha citizens living in the vicinity of
upper Montgomery street were contemplat
ing & petition to the City Council and the
Portland Railway, Light & Power Company
to extend the Montgomery carllne from Six
teenth street, the present terminus of the
line, up to Chapman street and probably oh
to Portland Heights, there comes the an
nouncement from President Josselyn that
the Montgomery carllne is to be abandoned,
and that people living In that thickly settled
and rapidly growing district lying between
Thirteenth and Montgomery streets and
Portland Heights will be compelled to walk
from one to 20 blocks to Mr. Josselyn s pro
posed loop at Thirteenth street, to take a
car down town. He will r:de 12 blocks
down to Washington street. After riding
these 12 blocks he is Just as far away from
the retail district of the city, and the main
business part as when he started from Mont
gomery to Thirteenth street.
There is no complaint and never wis,
about the location of the Montgomery car
line. It la exactly where it ought to be. ex
cept that It ought to be extended further
up Montgomery street and Instead of a
10 to 20-mlnute service, it ought to be at
least a seven-minute service. -
As for the short line that comes up
Thirteenth street from Washington to Mont
gomery, it Is of no particular benefit to the
people I King In that Vicinity. To one per?
son who lives up there that takes the
Thirteenth-street car down town, there are
100 that take the Morrison and Montgomery
cars. There will be no objection to the
streetcar company extending the Thirteenth
street line to Hall street, which ought to
be done:
But tha old established Montgomery and
Morrison street line should remain as tt Is,
and be Improved and extended. Wo hope
that President Jogselyn win find a way to
