THE MORNING OREGONIAN. TUESDAY. OCTOBER 6, 1908. 10 RED LIGHTS BURN OUT IN NORTH END Curious Crowds Gather, but No Revelry Marks Last Night of Resorts. EVICTIONS PLANNED TODAY Angel Brigade of Tea Will Begin Knforcement of Mayor Order. Practical Charity to Aid Needy Cnfortanates. Closed are the pompous palaces of sin of Portland's North End." The many colored lights of the parlor houses went out almultaneoualy with those of the cjualld "cribs" at an early hour thla morning, and Mayor Lane declares that they will open no more so Ions; as he remains at the head of municipal affairs. Beginning today the angel brigade of ten, carefully and specially selected for the duty, will begin the task of evicting the unfortunate women who have been offered in expiation of the sins of this modern Gomorrah. Owners of the prop erty, possessors of their wages, and male accomplices in their crimes are to be spectators of the sacrificial proceedings. Chief Uritzmacher last night declined to divulge the names of the ten mem bers of the angel brigade. However, he asserted that he will have completed the list today and give it to the public. At its head will likely be Thomas Kay. and a man more capable, efficient and en thusiastic for this particular Job could not have been selected by Commissioner Greene. With him will be half, a score of others patterned as' closely after Kay's model of proficiency as, passible. Scatter to Smaller Towns. For two days the hegira of unfortu nates has been under way, although there are many who announced their determination not to move, into the smaller cities of Oregon and Washing ton number have gone. Into the rooming-houses and apartment-houses of dubious character uptown others have found quarters; and even into re spectable hotels still ethers have sought shelter. Throngs of curious crowded the streets of the Whltechape! district last night to witness the closing of the dis trict that has existed since Portland became a city, but there were no signs of revelry. Many of the places were dark: for furniture vans and express wagons were busy In that neighborhood yesterday. In the "crib" district, how ever, th red lights threw their lurid rays Into the streets and not a single inmate of the places had departed. Many of them refuse to heed the police command to "move on." declaring that they will go to jail because they have no other place to go. In those of the parlor-houses that were not closed there was an air of tragic resignation. Many were resent ful, angry and sullen, and some des perate. "1 don't know what we will do." said the proprietress of one house. "I have no place to go, and am sure no pro prietor would want me in his hotel. What the others will do I don't know. Many of them have no money and couldn't leave town if they wanted to.' Angel Brigade Starts Work Today. Today the angel brigade will begin its work of visiting all the places of the restricted district, arresting any of the unfortunates who may be found, and taking them to the city jail. At the same time. It Is said, a systematic canvass of the various up-town rooming-houses of such character as to be suspected by the police will be made and any of the refugees who may be found will be arrested. Chief Urltxmacher declined to out line the plan of campaign against the women, but Mayor Une'i orders as ex pressed by the chief are for the evic tion of all these women from their former homes and their expulsion from the city. The ten extra policemen granted by the council to aid Mayor Lane in the crusade were selected yesterday. They are: If. L. Stanton, C. IX Patten. R R. Evert. W. W. Burn. F. G. West. L W. Madden. C. F. Howard. A. L. Pressy, I- H. Crandall and L. V. Jenkins. Several of the number went on duty last night and tho others will begin today. They will be assigned regular boats ss pa trolmen while the angel brigade will bo recruited from the ranks of the regular force. Special care will be given the selec tion of the officers who are to comprise this angel brigade. Help for Those Who Need It. For two days word hns been quietly sent through the district that those of the unfortunates who desire aid may receive it by applying either in person or by tele phone to a certain place. If any are ill or ailing, they may go to the hospital, where arrangements for their care and treatment have already been made. If any desire to leave the city they will be given transportation and expenses to any cliy In the I'nited States. If any desire to remain in the city, they may d. so and will be provided with ac commodations at one of the best hotels in the cay. No questions will be asked, no embarrassment will be caused and no past revived. The plan to aid the unfor tunates was originated and efforts to carry it out an being made by a group of thoroughly practical persons, who have no desire to coerce reformation.- They would gladly aid any of the . women to start anew, but will not thrust their ef forts upon the women. Few Accept Offer. Few. however, of the women have tsken advantage of the offer. It Is be lieved, however, that when they realise the sincerity of the offer and the fact ttiat It Is neither charity nor a puritani cal effort to force their reformation many of those w n j really ned aid will apply. In order to begin the enforcement of layor 1-ane's order to close the red ligiit d'.strict Chii-f Gritxmacher an nounced Inst night that seven men fend b-en added to Ins list of "plain clothes" o?rU-e-s.

Sunnyside Methodist Church was crowded to its utmost capacity last night, the occasion being the farewell reception to Kev. T. B. Ford, who goes to take charge of the Pendleton Metho dist church. The auditorium was re splendent with decorations of Autumn leaves and roses. There was a general programme of music and addresses. Many of the leading Methodist minis ters of the city were present. Ad dresses were delivered by a number, all expressing deepest regret that Dr. Ford goes to another charge after four years. lr. Ford made a feeling response to the talks and good wishes that had been expressed thanking the congre gation for Its uniform kindness during the four years he had been pastor. He expressed the hope that soon a new church adequate to the needs of the congregation would be erected under the directton of the new pastor, who had been sent to Sunnyside by the con ference. The reception tendered Dr. Ford and family served to demonstrate the h'gh estem in which he is held -not only by the eongregatlon. but by the city, as there were representatives present from nearly all the Methodist churches in the city. Oregon Ian Carriers See Show. Thirty boys who carry The Oregonian were taken to the Pantages theater last night by Circulation Manager Slocum. The boys enjoyed the show immensely and were Impressed particularly by Atra, the bullet-proof woman. This is one of the most remarkable acts In vaudeville and bears the separate distinction of being altogether new. The spectacle of a markesman breaking a heavy glass bulb by firing through the body of a woman is one worth traveling far to see and the carrier boys were enthusiastic over this feat aa well as the other fea tures of an Immensely good show.

Aid- STANDS UP FOR REFORMERS Pastor Tells Wbat He Believes Jesus Would Do and Says Churches Alone Are Extending Helping' Hand. PORTLAND, Oct. 6. (To the Edl- tor.) In an editorial 'Slrens and BE FLOATED AND CONVERTED INTO COAL BARGE -:-:: ----. ... -. crz i jr., a .:.-.--.$ - -k..: :::; ,'' .-"v saarr-?. , . . would Jesus do about itf Last Sun day night I undertook to answer that question in part, but a brief editorial note yesterday morning and a short article from a correspondent have raised the question again. It is not an easy matter always to decide Just what Jesus would do In the complex life of the modern city. But I ven ture to offer the following suggestions: First, I believe Jesus would condemn the men connected with the social evil Just as quickly as he would condemn the women. I believe that he would enforce the law upon the men who rent their property for immoral purposes and those who frequent houses of ill-fame Just as quickly as he would enforce the law upon the unfortunate women who are the inmates of these places. I do not think that Jesus would enforce the law upon the men and not the women, nor upon the women and not the men. I think he would treat both Just alike. Personally I have believed In the enforcement of the law aa ap plied to both the men and the women concerned. If the law could be en forced only on one side, then the men ought to bear the brunt of the blame. Anyi one who has heard me speak on this subject knows that this Is the thing for which I have stood at all times. Jesus Would Forgive Both. Second. I believe that Jesus would forgive and save the fallen woman Just as quickly as he would forgive and save the fallen man. This is not true of the world. What may be an "indis cretion" for a young man means "ruin" for a young woman. Let her make one false step, no matter what the tempta tion nfav have been, and the world looks askance at .her. This Is espe cially true of the women, who never condone and never forget except a few.-God bless them., But there are a few Christian women In our city who are following the example of Jesus Christ and seek ing to save their fallen sisters. I could give, if necessary, the names of a score of women in this city who for many months past have been doing personal work for tfre salvation of these young women. I have women in the White Temple who personally have been the means of the salvation of a number of these young women in the past. I have had a part with them in this work. It Is a personal work and must be done without publicity. I want to ask your correspondents who have been sneer ing at the churches and che preachers in regard to this matter what they have been doing to save these girls. Have these apologists tor the women of the North End ever done a solitary thing to save one of them from a life of shame and make it possible for her to live an upright life? I doubt if one of them ever did anything more than to sneer at the "reformers" and Insist that the women of the North End should be left alone to live and die without God and without hope. I am willing to listen to the criticism of a man or a woman who is doing somehlng.to help these girls and to save them, but I haven't any time to listen to tire sneer of those who are not doing anything themselves to ben efit these girls and who don't wanfyou to do anything, either. There are two classes of people In this world those who do things and those who don't, and the keenest critics of those who do are those who don't. If your cor respondents who object to this reform movement are really doing something to save these girls to a better life, then let them speak and the preachers and "reformers" will listen. But If they are not doing anything, their words have no weight with any one. Wonld Give Another Chance. Third. I believe that Jesus would give the saved and reformed woman the same chance to Uvs an honorable, upright life that he would give the saved and reformed man. Jesus Christ would not drag up the past to hinder the future of either a man or a woman. I know that society in general makes it mighty hard for a woman to live an upright life after she has once fallen. But I believe there are more men and women than ever before In the world today who would help a young woman Just as quickly as they would help a young man to live an honorable life. In your editorial not yesterday morn- Satyrs'" you ask the question. "What lng you say. "Of course the wives of the reformers wil help lift up the fallen by giving a siren a place aa cook or chambermaid or nurse girl. A good place for charity to begin is at home. May I say to you that this is exactly what some of the reformers have been doing? There are homes represented In the White Temple where any of these girls who have an honest desire to live right could find a situation and be treated with the same thoughtful consideration that would be accorded a young woman who had not fallen.. If It were not for revealing the Identity of these young women who have thus been saved and started on a life of vir tue, I could give you the names of these homes where such girls are al ready located and living lives above reproach. Your editorial seemed to Im ply that none of tho "reformers" would be willing to take any of these girls Into their homes. This is a mistaken Idea, for many are being helped in this way now. May I be pardoned for saying In con clusion that I am willing to compare the record of the "reformers" in the White Temple In seeking to save and help fallen young women with the rec ord along that line of those who are continually writing to the papers con demning the present reform movement? Sr. V -v. - -' ..xl Let them show what they are doing to save these girls or let them "shut up." J. WHITCOMB BROUGHER. MRS.

Otto Tanberg, indicted on a charge of contributing to the delinquency of Selma Schwartz, was acquitted yester day afternoon by a Jury in Judge Cle land's department of the Circuit Court. The Jury was out three-quarters of an hour. The defense relied solely upon the evidence Introduced by the prose cution, Tanberg himself tailing to take the witness stand. Hamburg hss more firemen In propor tion to her size than any other city in the ome When they think it is "too hard" to quit coffee at once and shift to straight Postum, they compromise the case by using Postum with a little coffee in it. Of course, that isn't "strictly business" and a person will not as quickly recover from coffee ails as if pure POS1 were used, but the compromise is better than to stick to the old coffee habit and continue to suffer. Gradually less coffee can be put into the brew and soon onlyv Pure Postum is used. Then can be ex pected that the old aches and ails will disappear.

At- DODGE FIVE INDICTMENTS Counsel for Cigar-Dealers Urge In sufficient Facts in Complaints and Cameron Makes Similar Answer to Injunction Suit. Demurrers were passed back and forth by the Sunday retailers and the District Attorney's office, yesterday In the State Circuit Court. The retailers demurred to five indictments filed against cigar dealers on the grounds that the facts set forth in the indictments are not sufficient to con stitute a cause of action. District Attor ney Cameron demurred to the injunction complaint filed by tfts retailers on the grounds that facts were not stated suffi cient to form the basis rt an action. The question as to whether the injunc tion' against Cameron shall be established as permanent was not passed upon by the court yesterday, owing to the state of un readiness for argument of the retailers' attorneys, John F. Logan and W. C. Bris tol. They insisted that the question was one of moment and should not be submit ted to hasty examination. It was contended by Mr. Cameron that the lnjuctlon could not stand against a prosecuting officer restraining him from performing his duty. He asked, to cite two authorities and wanted to. proceed with the arguments. He chanoed to say, however, jthat he hadn't had enough time to devote to the case and the retailers' attorneys quoted that statement in saying the case should not be passed on to the court in a half-baked condition. The ar guments will be heard this morning at 9:30 o'clock. Two Lines of Defense. The demurrer filed by Messrs. Logan and Bristol in behalf of the Sunday deal ers who were indleted by tne recent grand Jury is based upon much similar grounds as the application for an injunction. The demurrer is made to apply to the general situation and if sustained will end the whole trouble, unless Cameron should ap peal, as he would be entitled to do on a demurrer. This demurrer forms a sort of second line of defense upon which the re tailers may fall back in the event the injunction proceedings fail. It is cited that the Indictments, or the law upen which they are based, contra vene certain sections of the constitution of the state and United States. That enforcement of the law involved deprives the retailers of valuable property rights and denies them equal protection under the law. That the classification of the law Is un reasonable and unjust In that the words "store, shop and grocery," used in the prohibiting .classification, are indefinite, uncertain end not clear except as to business definitely known and conducted as stores, shops and groceries: and that it is not lawful exercise of police power in that It does, not regulate all of the class alike and equally. Says Law Applies Unfairly. That the law is invalid, void and un reasonable because it does not alike apply to, nor similarly operate upon, every per son of the same class engaged In lawful business under like circumstances and conditions. That the law is Invalid because it denies the la wful right to provide the publio with the necessities of life. That the law unjustly and unconstitu tionally discriminates between persons conducting general week-doy businesses for labor or traffic and persons conduct- People Compromli I H The only baking powder made from S hi Yl 'Royal Grape Cream ol Tartar Sm MACE FROM GRAPES J&&Jn JOkk.

With the booming of the guns of the American warships lying In the Delaware River off this city, the second day in the elab orate programme for the celebration of the 226th anniversary of the founding of Philadelphia was ushered in. This was Military day, and . the principal feature was the parade of 20,000 men, with Major-General Fred Grant as grand mar shal. Another feature was the unveiling in the city courtyard of a tablet to mark THIRTY YEARS A Slave to Coffee. Many persons do not realize that coffee drinking may become a power ful, enslaving habit. They are not aware that ooffeee con tains a drug caffeine which ought never to be taken Into the system ex cept for certain diseases and then only when prescribed by the doctor. The coffee habit grows on most users and Is more harmful to some than others. But a drug that acts upon the heart and nerves In the way caffeine does,' is not without greater or less harm to all who drink coffee. "For thirty years," writes a Wash, housewife, "I have been a steady coffee drinker. I wanted It at every meal. "But I would have sick headache most of the day, and throw up my food. I really suffered awfully from coffee, yet thought I never could stop it- "Then I heard how good Postum was for such cases, and began to use It. At first I did not care for Postum. I felt sleepy and had headache. I soon found that this was because of the hold coffee had on me, for In about three days" after I quit coffee and be gan to use Postum the headache left me, had no more nervousness and pal pitation. In about a week I felt like a new woman. "I havo used Postum three years and when it is made according to directions (boiled 15 minutes) it is as pleasant as coffee and don't hurt any one. I ought to know for I was as bad off as any one Is likely to get from coffee drinking. Now I am well." "There's a Reason." Name given by Postum Co, Battle Creek, Mich.
