PLAN IS MADE TO
DEFEAT M'ARTHUR
Statement No. 1 Legislators
Make Effort to Unite on
Man for Speaker.
CANDIDATE NOT CHOSEN
Jlal n. Patton and A. . Orion Arc
Taking the Lead In Organizing
Opposition to Multnomah
County lan" Ambition.
With Ipsr than two works intrrvcninK
until the T-ffsrislature mppts. the Rtandpat
Statementltes anil the antl-McArthur
forces are undertaking t" orRanize tlirir
forces to defeat the election of the Mult
nomah County man. caucus or no cau
cus, as Speaker of the House. Xot until
yesterday did the opposition to Mi-Arthur
proceed on anything like a united basis
to bring, about his defeat. Just what
p'Otrramme will be evolved remains to bo
discovered, but the opponents of Mo Ar
thur express full confidence that they
will defeat the aspirations of the erst
while acting chairman of the Republi
can state central committee.
It has been learned that the standpat
Statement forces, some 13 In number and
headed by A. W. rton. of the Multno
mah delegation, have decided to unite on
any candidate that can bring about the
defeat of McArthur. This was the de
c:sion following the conference at the
Imperial Hotel Monday night between
Hal D. Patton. of Marion County, osten
sibly a candidate for Speaker, and several
of the Statement members from this
county. It is proposed by the State
ment forces, such ' as already have not
Joined In the caucus call or otherwise
committed themselves on the question of
the Speakership. to determine the
strongest anti-Mr Arthur candidate and
unite their support in behalf of his
candidacy.
Tntton as a Prophet.
Patton Is not without some measure of
conceit when It conies to foretelling th
organization of the House. An evi
dence of this over-confidence was mani
fested on the part of th s Marion County
candidate yesterday when, at the Im
perial Hotel, lie said:
"I have Just sent to the office of The
Oregonian a complete list of the men
who will be selected as the subordinate
officers of the House in the coming ses
sion of the legislature."
I'p to press hour the promised list had
not arrived.
It Is the plan of the Statement forces
to have their leading candidates, Camp
bell, of Clackamas, antl Bean, of Iane,
pool their interests with a view to In
dorsing the man ho presents the strong
est following. In event of the eontin
gencj that the standpatters ann the dis
affected McArthur following cannot agree
either on Campbell or Bean, it is pro
posed that the name of Barrett, of Uma
tilla, be submitted as a possible com
promise. If Barrett proves 'insatisfac
tory. Katon. of i.ane. may be selected as
the proper man to wield the savel In the
House.
It will be only as an extreme resort,
say the - Statement people, that their
forces will flock to the support of Mc
Cue. of Clatsop, who has declined to re
tire from toe Speakership contest at the
urgent request of the McArthur people.
But it is conceded by the Statement peo
ple that McCue. or in fact any other
anti-ftatement man. will be acceptable
to them for Speaker rather than to ac
cept McArthur. In other words, the
Statement people are resolved to go to
any extreme and to support even a rabid
anti-Statement man before they will go
to McArthur. Their game Is anything to
beat McArthur. At the same time, friends
rf the latter smile, from the fact that
they assert the Multnomah County man
has practically a cinch on the nomination
by a Republican caucus, which, they de
clare, is a certainty.
Hold Conference With Campbell.
In furtherance of their plan to try out
all of the prospective Statement candi
dates for the Speakership, Patton, of
Marion, and several members of the
Multnomah County delegation, headed
by Orton. yesterday visited Oregon City
and held a conference with Campbel1.,
IMmick and Jones, the three Statement
members from that county. "What the
result of the meeting was none of the
visitors from thU county would admit.
If Campbell agreed to go Into a free-for-all
contest for the nomination for
the Speakership at the hands of the
Statement forces, not one of those at
tending the conference would admit it.
Although McDonald recently signed the
caucus call and announced that he in
tended to support McArthur or Speaker.
It Is said he accompanied other members
of the delegation from this county to
Oregon City yesterday and participated
In the conference with Campbell. By
Teason of this vacillating attitude since
bis election last June, neither the State
ment nor the anti-Statement people are
depending very much on McDonald when
It comes to a show-down. Both sides are
s-.isplrtous of him so far as any de.pen
dency may be placed on his future action,
but the Statement people maintain that
they are in possession of facts that will
make McDonald be good and play their
irame. They evidently have played one
of their trump cards. At any rate, Mc
Donald Is reported obediently to have
accompanied his associates to th city
by the falls yesterday.
McCue Says He Is in Race.
Support of McCue by the Statement
people, howe-ver. is not an assured cer
tainty by any means. It would only be
ss a final choice as between McArthur
tha' the pledged legislators In the House
would go to the Clatsop County man.
say the Statement men. This much has
ven agreed among the Statement mem
bers. The reason that the standpat
Statement members will not more readily
go to McCue. should It be shown that he
can beat McArthur with their assistance,
franklv admit the pledged members of
the House, is that ihey suspect that Mc
Cue, is .Indirectly "playing McArthur's
game. This Is denied by McCue more
strenuously than the charge Is asserted
by the Statement people. McCue insists
that he is in the race for the Speaker
ship and proposes to remain to the fin
ish That McCue hopes to land the Job
through a possible defeat of McArthur
is apparent from the fact that he has
turned down all overtures from the Mc
Arthur camp, notwithstanding the fact
that by yielding to their entreaties. It is
said he could receive practically anything
within the gift of McArthur should be
be elected Speaker.
AS TO NON-CHURCHGOERS
Thinks Converts Are Xot Clutched
and Held.
wUiTiND. U. M. CTo the KtUtorJ
I notice an account of Dr. Dyott's sermon,
"Ought a Religious Man to Join m Ohurch?"
printed In yesterdays Oregonian. While his
sermon vu for a modern audience, he
seemed to dwell mostly upon the text.
Why do not men attend the church edi
fice?"' which latter Is nearly as old as the
modern church itself. Not taking Into ac
count which was the most appropriate text
for his sermon, let me take not th excuse,
but the reason. But there are a few prac
tical religions, and, no doubt. a few
church edifices of every denomination
which do draw large congregations of men.
In Portland we have the church of Rev.
Mr. Htaub. Funnyslde Congregational, and I
am told Rev. Paul Rader's church, which
are living examples.
The reason for religious men staying out
side the church edlfl.ee Is due to the di
plomacy (? of the church in all denomi
nations. Church people either go out to
vrk the fallen and neglect their own. or
they seek the fallen and do not hold on
to them strong and long enough to lead
them to "fair Wisdom's seal.' All this is
changed in time by the diplomacy (? or
the church, when It finds out that It must
have a struggle If It would hold Its own
members or member, who happen by some
gosslper's tongue to have fallen into dis
repute.
Tiilw attitude of th church and its mem
bers does not take much weight with the
religious man, who. perchance. Is a busi
ness man also. He looks at the church as
a place of rest and quietude from his daily
tolls and labors, ana lr ne noes nui nnu it.

H:XGEKS-ON MIX VP OVER
GAME OF C'AItDS.
JIarry Grow Whacks Charles Tasker
Over Head 'With Revolver Both
Are Taken Into Custody.
As the result of a saloon brawl over a
game of cards In the Circuit Cafe, con
ducted by" Charles Mays, on Stark street,
between Fourth and Fifth streets, Harry
O. Grow is in jail on a charge of as
sault with a dangerous weapon, and
Charles A. Tasker. his victim, is held on
a vagrancy charge growing out of his
Indisposition to prosecute his assailant.
Both men are saloon hangers-on. Mon
day night. Grow, who lives at the Riche
lieu, a North Sixth-street lodging-house,
engaged Tasker in a game of poker in
which the latter came out winner.- Grow,
according to his story, believed that
Tasker had usd marked cards, and re
turned yesterday afternoon to get satis
faction, armed with a 38-caiiber Colt's re
volver. When he had "struck luck" as
he calls It. Tasker refused to pay. where
upon he whipped out his gun and hit
his opponent over the head several times
inflicting three or four cuts, whicli caused
Tasker to run for the street. Grow fol
lowed and aa Tasker fled east on Stark
street to Fourth, he fired two shots into
the sidewalk, which served to accelerate
the pace of the fleeing man.
Tho firing of the shots brought the
police to the scene. Patrolman Inskeep
arrested Tasker at Fourth and Oak
streets. He was bleeding profusely from
scalp wounds Inflicted by the butt of the
gun used by Grow. Detectives Howell
ant Graves, and Patrolmen Adams and
Harms rushed Into the Circuit Cafe,
seized and disarmed Grow, who sat calm
ly at the table at wlich the card game
had been played. Both men were taken
to the stttion. and were followed by a
large crowd. By the time the officers and
their prisoners reached the jail it became
necessary for Captain Moore to order out
several additional policemen to clear the
streets.
On examination at the station it was
found that Tasker had pot been shot, and
several witnesses testified that Grow nad
fired two shots Into the sidewalk as
Tasker fled. City Physician Fred J.
Zeigler was called and dressed the in
jured man's wounds, oil of which are
merely abrasions of the scalp.
Tasker. who carries a bartender's union
card, but who admitted that he had not
worked for some time, desired the offi
cers to dismiss Grow, saying he did
not care to prosecute. On this announce
ment Captain Moore decided to book him
as a vagrant and force him to prosecute
his assailant, or suffer a sentence on
the rockpile. Grow admits hitting Tasker
over the head with his gun. but claims
justification because Tasker refused to
give him a square deal in the poker
game.

PORT COMMISSI
LAYING ITS PLANS
Prepares to Take Full Charge
of Towage Service Early
Next Summer.
ASK NEW LAW FOR PILOTS
Bill Proposed to Make Such Changes
as Will Give Portland Shipping
Interest Control of Board of
Pilot Commissioners.
In all probability it will be Summer be
fore the Port of Portland formally will
assume the direction of the towage serv
ice on the Columbia and Willamette Riv
ers as contemplated under the terms of
the act Incorporating that body. In the
meantime an arrangement has been ef
fected by which the O. R. & N. Company
will look after the matter of towage on
the two rivers until tho close of the
fiscal year.
Members of the Port of Portland are
negotiating for the purchase of the neces
sary two boats with which to maintain
the proposed service. If these are not
secured from the funds that have been
made available through the authorized
sale of bonds, the Port will make ar
rangements temporarily to charter a suffi
cient number of boats to maintain serv
ice until necessary equipment shall have
been acquired.
In connection with the proposed tow
ago service, the Port of Portland is di
rectly concerned in the fate of the pro
posed amendment to the law governing
the matter of pilotage on the two rivers.
Amendments to the existing act, having
the Indorsement of the Chamber of Com
merce, have been proposed contemplating
important changes in the regulation of
the pilotage service. That the proposed
amendments shall be considered favor
ably by the Legislature is expected from
the fact that the measure received the
Indorsement of the Multnomah County
delegation at Its meeting Monday night.
Principal among the amendments pro
posed is one which gives to the inter
ested shippers of this port some author
ity In the management of the Board of
Pilot Commissioners, tender the exist
ing law it is provided that at least two
of the three members of the Board shall
be residents of Clatsop County, the third
to be from Multnomah County. This
service has not served the best interests
of this port from which the bulk of the
shipping is forwarded. The amendment
virtually gives to Portland and the
shipping Interests of this port the con
trol of the Pilot Commission, since it pro
vides that one member of the Board of
Pilot Commissioners shall be selected
from Clatsop County, another from Mult
nomah County and the third from either
of the two counties, as the Governor, who
has the right of appointing, may se
lect. Even more important as relating to
the pilotage service is the proposed
amendment whicli provides for the re
peal of the compulsory pilotage feature
of the present law. The effect of the
adoption of these two desired amend
ments will be to improve materially the
shipping conditions of this port. With
the control of the pilotage service vested
In a Board of Commissioners, a majority
of whose members are residents of Clat
sop County, shippers in this city have
had occasion to complain justly of tho
unsatisfactory service. It is to correct
this condition and to give shippers a
satisfactory service that the pending
amendments to the act have been pro
posed. DECREES FOR MINISTERS

NEW AEROPLANE INVENTED
Young German Milk-Dealer Aston
ishes All Aviators.
NEW YORK. Dec. 29. An inventor
of aeroplanes and aeronautical enthu
siast is Fred Schneider, who has
a machine that astounds experts.
Along general lines it follows
the construction principle of the
Wright brothers and Karman aero
plane, but it also has. man new fea
tures. Schneider who is a German
30 years old and was in the
milk business. is reticent concern
ing his flyer, saying that he -would
rather wait until ho had accomplished
something more definite. "I think it
will fly," said he, "but if it does not
no ons can feel hurt, as I am not niar
ried and I spent my own money on it."
The aeroplane Is the first to have
three propellers. These are of alumi
num and are each. 6 ?eet long. One
of these is placed on either side and
the other Immediately behind the mo
tor. The two outside propellers turn
in oDDOsite directions, which is intend
ed to give equilibrium to the machine
and minimizes the chances of turning
turtle.
The motor is the first of its kind to
be tried on a flyinsr apparatus. It is
a 36-horsepower gasoline air-cooled
gyroscope engine and weighs 98
pounds. It was tried out yesteraay ana
acted well. Although showing consid
erable vibration, the aeroplane was not
In any way injured. The machine is
30 feet wide, 28 feet long and weighs
450 pounds, including the motor. The
Farman aeroplane weighs lisi) pounds,
the Wrishts' machine 850. The frame
work is of ash. hollowed out. so that
it weighs, the inventor says, only one
fourth of a pound to the foot. It runs
along the ground on bicycle wheels,
similar to the Karman machine.

Gregory, Tacoma Man, Comes to
Portland With Clever Build
ing Idea.
While it is true that Portland already is
credited with the largest proportion of
home-owners of any other city in the
United States, it is equally true that not
nearly as many wage-earners own their
homes as should. Owners and sellers
of large tracts of land have stimulated
home building by their assistance and
encouragement, but the actual effort in
this direction has awaited the coming of
the Gregory Investment Company, from
Tacoma.
For the past several years, Mr. Gregory
has devoted his entire time to acquiring
residence property in Seattle and Tacoma
and platting It for sale among those who,
ordinarily, are unable to invest, but think
far more of a home of their own than of
Investing in real estate for the profit
they may derive.
The Gregory plan is a simple one and a
boon for the wage-earner. Coming to
Portland a few weeks ago, Mr. Gregory
sought for a tract of land that woul
appeal to the lover of a home. Finding
it on the Rose City Park carline, he
bought and has platted one of the pret
tiest pieces of property within the city
limits.
Without any noise, he lias delivered to
the property hundreds of wagon loads of
lumber and already has sufficient ma
terial on hand to begin the erection of
100 houses. The addition is being cleared,
sidewalks are about to be laid. Bull Run
water mains installed and the streets
graded. The sound of the hammer and
saw may now be heard.
Seen by a reporter. Mr. Gregory said:
"It is our purpose to put this property
upon the market for such people as are
unable to build their own homes in the
districts all around our property, owing
to the restrictions that have been placed
there. We are going to sell our lots
Just as low as we can: build all the
homes that people want us to build, and
sell the lots and the homes, together or
separately, upon such easy terms that
no man or woman who earns a salary-
shall be without his or her home if
they want one. Our plans are not ready
for the public at this time. We are get
ting things In shape, for we expect that
we will have all we can do to show the
property without having to attend to the
details of improvement and home uuild
ing. "I believe in the right of any man to
a home of -his own and if I am the first
one In Portland to make this possible.
I am proud of It. It should have been
done a long time a-go. If every man were
his own landlord, the city would be far
better off. My advice to every wage-
earner in Portland is to Invest his rent
money in a home of his own."
Mr. Gregory spends all of his time on
his property, overseeing all of the work.

LENTS. Or., Dec. 20. (To tho Editor.)
I am nearing my Plst birthday and sensible
that there is but little of conscious time
left for me. I desire once more to im
press upon The Oregonian's readers a line
of thought that I have persistently battled
for for over 70 of thosa years. For so

veying the progress made In tearing down
the strongholds of orthodoxy in that lapso
of time. I am proud or the- part l have
taken, believing that in some degree I
have contributed In tearing away the veil
of superstition that hung like a pall over
the land, and that an era of Intellectual
development has so fully shelved the pesti
lent dogmas of orthodoxy, tnat nomine is
to be feared from Its future promulgation.
I wish In this, my last letter, to refer
to two recent emissions coming from the
orthodox side of the controversy: the one
from Sir Oliver Lodge and the other from
Rev. C. C. Cline, the last appearing in
last Sunday's Oregonian and apparently
having been written in a spirit of Christian
enthusiasm, celebrating the fact that Vol
taire Is now "a hundred years In hell."
Rev. Mr. Cllne should remember that had
not Voltaire and his successors overthrown
the hideous Infamy of eccleslastlcism in
Europe, he would long alnce have illumi
nated the surroundings with a brilliant
auto de fe" for the delectation or tne elect.
To further accuse Voltaire of having
brought about the pitiable decline In faith
in Europe Is too puerile to further tra
verse. We should have yet been sweltering
In the barbaric ignorance and Intellectual
suppression that had per.-aded the Chris
tian world for over a thousand years up
to his time had he not entered the lists
to "crush the Infamy," which he effectually
did
As for Sir Oliver T-odge, ne Is asserted
to be s great theologian, scientist, logician
and thinker, but I deny that he is entltjed
to that credit. In his article on the "soul"
he says:
"Take a piece of charcoal, burn it. tne
gas escapes. It Is not lost; It exists for
ever. Fo the soul escapes from the bedy.
and. like the gaa of the coal, exists for
ever." Hla similitude Is false, his argument i
false and his conclusion Is false. To.be
logical, ha should burn the body like the
charcoal and show that the gaa escaping
from the body has soul sensation, conscious
feeling, thought. it lias ncne of these
they are the result of life, not death.
It has been determined that none of
these existed until life started protoplasmic
life caused by light, heat and moisture upon
matter, called cell-life. Spirit soul, which
la the, same as the reflection of the brain.
Is not matter and cannot exist as a thing.
The brain and nerves, which produce the
mind, soul-spirit in this body, are burned
up, destroyed and cannot produce them.
These premises are facts. Therefore, soul
never existed before life came, and when
Individual life dies the resultant fact Is
that the soul ceases to exist. It Is only a
vault of supernaturalism that transports
us from this logical standpoint a realm,
something that science and logical thought
have nothing to do with, where the "cir
cle squarers." the "flat earthers" and the
"miracle mongers" disport themselves at
their own sweet will.
This for tha "truth that makes free."

the Legislature of 1907. so that it pro
hibits the possession of deer meat only
In cases where the deer is killed during
the closed season. This d-eciston was
rendered in the case of State vs. Fisher,
from Linn County, in which case Judge
Burnett refused to permit the defendant
to introduce testimony showing that
though he had the meat in his possession
during the closed season, the deer was
killed at a time when it was lawful to
do so.

Fisher was indicted Is found on page S42
of the session laws of 1307 and reads:
"Any person . . . having in possession
any deer or carcass or part of a doer,
during the season when It Is unlawful
to take or kill such deer, shall be guilty
of a misdemeanor.'
The court holds that evidence of pos
session merely makes out a prima facie
case and the defendant should have
been permit ted to show that the deer
was lawfully killed, and. if he could do
this, he was entitled to an acquittal.
The case is sent back for a new trial.
