Presence of Mind of Motorman
Hull on East Ankeny Car
Averts Loss of Life.
Rare presence of mind and quick ap
plication of Ae life-saving devices on the
part of Motorman C. L. Hull, of west
bound East Ankeny car No. 131, yester
day afternoon prevented little 6-year-old
Mary Say from being crushed to death
under the wheels of the ar.
The child escaped from her parents and
started to cross the tracks directly In
front of the rapidly-approaching car. It
was too late to stop, though he applied
the emergency and air-brakes, but Motor
man Hull dropped the fender which
picked up the child and carried her to
safety.
A large crowd which witnessed the
rescue applauded the motorman. With
him on the car was Conductor H. Hellis
and a large number of passengers.
The child, with her parents, had Just
alighted from an eastbound East Ankeny
street car at Twelfth street. The parents
were waiting for the car to proceed be
fore crossing, when the child ran around
in front, not seeing the westbound car
that was approaching. The motorman,
however, saw the danger of the child, as
did a large number of passengers on both
cars.
The child was raised from her feet by
the fender and thrown upon it. She was
totally uninjured, not even sustaining a
scratch. Her father declared after the
Incident that he could have blamed no
one had the accident resulted fatally. .

Frederick V. Holmanu
was discussed yesterday by two promi
nent members of the Charter Commis
sion, and opposing opinions given. In
the afternoon Judge Henry E. McGinn,
chairman of the commission, spoke for
two hours before a very representative
body of East Side taxpayers at the
Catholic Young Men's Club, on Morris
street, near Williams avenue. In the
evening the proposed new charter was
vigorously attacked by Frederick V.
Holman, also a member of the commis
sion, before an audience at the People's
Forum.
Neither Judge McGinn nor Mr. Hol
man, while they held opposite views
on the merits of the charter as drafted
by the commission of 15, was in favor
of Councilman Beldlng's attempt to
prevent the matter coming up before
the people to be voted upon. Both held
that this uhould be done, and declared
the people should have tho right to de
termine whether the new charter
should be adopted or rejected. Mr.
Holman did not question the motive
behind the Councllmen who were
blocking the emergency ordinance. In
fact, during his speech he did not refer
to It, but Judge McGinn did, and he
did not mince his language. The
speaker said the reason for preventing
the charter from being presented to
the people was a selfish one, out of
fear of being driven away from "the
pie counter at which they had been
feeding."
"If the new charter is a good thing,"
said Judge McGinn, "it should be in force
at once. If It Is bad and the people do
not want It, the quicker It is rejected the
better. But the people have the right to
determine this for themselves. It must
be that the Mayor and the Council think
some change fe necessary in the, old char
ter, or they would not have appointed the
members of the Charter Commission. I
will admit that it may not be the best
charter that could have been drawn, but I
do say that it represents the work of men
whose motives are the highest, and they
had the best Interests of the city in mind
at all times.
"Councilman Beldlng and those who are
with him in the effort to prevent the
charter from being submitted to the peo
ple at a special election are actuated by
fear. They are afraid they will be taken
away from the pie counter, at which they
have fed so long unmolested. They do
not want to change the old order of
things, and object to being thrown out of
office two years before their time has ex
pired. One of the cries against the char
ter is that It gives too much power to a
few men. Under the new charter, there
will be six Councllmen and a Mayor.
These six Councllmen are not selected
from wards. There' will be no longer
ward politics. They will be elected at
larpe, and there will be no divided respon
sibility, as there Is now, and should any
one of the six Councllmen, or the Mayor,
prove himself not to be faithful to the
city's interests, he can be thrown out of
office.
"How will the people do thlsT By the
Initiative and referendum and the recall,
my friends. The framers of the charter
made It a point to abolish parties and
party politics. The ballot that will be
prepared will contain no party emblem or
designation. We have suffered from party
politics every municipal government in
this country has and it's about time to
stop It. In the past we have voted for
party men, regardless of qualifications and
fitness for office. Under the new charter,
only what a candidate stands for will be
placed on the ballot, and It will make no
difference whether he be Republican,
Democrat, Socialist or what not. He may
have great riches or he may not have
more than $25 In his pocket. It will be
all the same.
People Should Buy City Bonds.
"I said some time ago I was not alto
gether satisfied with the charter. I be
lieve that to nave good city government
all the people should be Interested. Do
you know how I would do this? I would
have the people, the great macs of work
ing people who put away their earnings
in the savings bank. Invest In city bonds.
We did get into the charter a provision
that city bonds should be reduced to 1500,
but what I wanted was to have them In
denominations of from $50 to $100. As it
is now, you thrifty people place your sav
ings in a savings bank. Do you know
what becomes of that money? Well, It
goes to buy city bonds. If the city bonds
were fixed so they could be bought at $50
and $100, the people, instead of placing
their money in savings banks, would buy
city bonds, and this would make every
Investor Interested In the affairs of the
city."
Judge McGinn discussed the Initiative
and referendum, the recall and Statement
No. 1 He declared that these thlnes are
here to stay. After the speaker had con
cluded, a resolution was passed that it
be the sense of those present that the
Council pass the emergency ordinance
that the new charter be submitted to the
people at the special election. Francis L
McKenna was about the only one present
who objected to the resolution.
P. B. Sullivan, president of the Catholic
Young Men's Club, before Introducing
Judge McGinn, gave a brief history of the
founding of the club, and stated that the
talk by Mr. McGinn was only the first of
a series of addresses that would be held
in the clubrooms.
Holman Takes Opposite View.
Attorney Holman objected to the pro
posed charter principally because he
was opposed to doing away with the
representative form of government and
of adopting the commission form. He
was humorously sarcastic at the ex
pense of his colleagues and said that
he was reminded of an Episcopal
church service, when it came to the
point where Jesus Christ was men
tioned there was a reverent bowing of
heads. When the Des Moines system
was mentioned, he said, some 13 or
14 members of the Commission would
reverently bow their heads. Attorney
Holman also opposed the charter be
cause It abolished political parties, and
especially because of the recall provi
sion. "I have been Invited to come before
you to tell why I am opposed to the
new charter," said M,r. Holman, "nnd
I will endeavor to do this in the time
that has been allotted to me. The
desire to have a new charter, I take
it. Is only another manifestation of
the spirit of unrest, more than a se
rious objection to the present charter.
In the first place, I am in favor of
a representative and not a commission
form of government as proposed by
the new charter, and I am oppose' to
doing violence to the present order
of things. In fairy tales we have
read how, by the mere waving of the
magic wand, everything was changed
and everyone was happy ever after.
This Is what the Commission tried to
do In this new charter. They want to
wave a wand and change a system
of government that has come down to
us through the ages.
"This Idea for a new charter came
In with the Merry Widow hat, but I
can't say when It will go out of fash
Ion. Nor can anyone tell what fashion
will bring in a demand for a new
charter next September, and God only
knows what fashion will demand it in
December. We have the Galveston
fashion, the Houston fashion and the
Des Moines style, and when I recall
some of those meetings I am reminded
of the Episcopal church service, when
the name of Jesus Christ is mentioned
every one bows his head reverently,
and when the Des Moines system of
city government was mentioned some
13 Or 14 members of the Commission
would bow their heads reverently. Now,
I admire, devotion, but that special kind
did not appeal to me.
"Mind you, I did not say this to
make light of the efforts of the es
timable gentlemen who were on the
Commission. They were honest and
conscientious in their efforts. But I
want to say right here that Joe Simons
would never have dared to have drawn
up such a charter and submitted it
to the people. I am opposed to Lhe
charter because it does away with the
veto power. To do away with this
power, a power that is vested with
the President, and so on down. Is a
dangerous thing. It will leave the
Mayor as helpless and as much feared
as a cat in hell without claws."
NOT PLEASED WITH COUNCTL
Montague Says Action Amounts to
Shelving Whole Question.
The action of the City Council In refus
ing to allow the submission of the new
charter prepared by the men of its own
selection was discussed last night by Rich
ard W. Montague, a member of the Board.
He said that the action came In the na
ture of a surprise, especially after addi
tional time had been given by the Coun
cil to the Commission to complete its
labors."
Mr. Montague was of opinion that the
failure to allow the propositions In the
new charter to be submitted to the people
at the June election was tantamount to
the shelving of the whole question, as it
was wholly unlikely that after the elec
tion of the city officials there would be
any taking up of its provisions later.
In speaking of the merits of the new
charter, Mr. Montagu- aid that it had
been mistakenly and even untruthfully
named as a charter drawn In favor of cor
porations. He declared that on the con
trary it was In favor of broader powers
for the city, and restricted corporate
rights. He instanced several cases of responsibility-shifting
in the various city
departments which the new charter would
have cured, and said that while it was
of course any one's privilege to attack the
provisions of the proposed amendments,
it was indefensible willfully to misrepre
sent it, and issue false statements about
It, as he said had been done in particu
lar instances. '

Vice-Consul Speaks on Inter

SAYS SCARE IS UNFOUNDED
Representative of Oriental Nation
Believes Too Much Is Made of
Policy Held by Only
Pew Americans.
Yasutaro . Numano, who succeeded
Tsunljl Alba to the Portland Japanese
Vice-Consulship five months ago, was
one of the speakers from the pulpit of the
First Congregational Church last night.
He told of the feelings of the Japanese
toward America, relating his own experi
ence In this regard. He also referred to
the welcome extended the American fleet
in Japan by the 20,000 school children
of Tokio.
Vice-Consul Numano was followed by a
Japanese quartet, which sang "Home,
Sweet Home," In Japanese. Dr. Luther
R. Dyott, the pastor, then took the pul
pit to tell what the feelings of America
toward the Japanese should be in the
light of man's brotherhood. He took for
his text.Matt. xxiii:28 and xxil:37-39, the
latter being a record of Christ's admoni
tion to "love thy neighbor as thyself."
"Sober sense, some sentiment and altru
istic service should make solid contribu
tions to the best interests of all man
kind," said the pastor. The antiphonal
choir and quartet, which sang responsive
ly added to the enjoyment of those who
attended the service, among whom were
a number of Japanese.
Speaks of Perry's Visit.
Mr. Numano first spoke of the visits to
Japan of Commodore Perry, in 1S58: of
General Grant in 1879, and of the fleet
under the command of Admiral Sperry
last year. Mr. Numano said he was
about 2 years old when General Grant
visited Japan, but that he realized, as
he grew into young manhood, that there
was another great man In the world who
could be thought of as an equal, if not
a superior, to the Emperor of Japan. He
also told of going to school to English
teachers, and of their kindness In deal
ing with the students. He always had a
desire to come to the United States, he
said, but it was not gratified until five
months ago, when he was ordered to
come here from England.
Mr. Numano then went on to tell of the
visits of several noted J.apanese to Amer
ica. It was evident from what he said
that he believes his countrymen In Japan
look upon tho animosity against them as
existing among a very small part of the
American people among a few Califor
nlan3. Mr. Numano had no doubt, he said,
that the friendly feeling of the Japanese
toward Americans would be reciprocated
by the great majority of Americans. Con
tinuing, he said:
Address of Mr. Xnmano.
I said the majority of American people,
because, unfortunately, there are a small
number of American peopls who do not like
the Japanese, either because of racial preju
dice or for some other reasons. This ani
mosity seems to have originated in Cali
fornia. The people of Japan are now be
ginning to understand that this discordant
voice is uttered only by a small number of
American people, that the majority of
Americans are desirous of reciprocating our
good feeling. We must admit that there
must be as many different opinions as there
are men, and as many different voices as
there are opinions. "VVe must make allow
ance for that much, but, at the same time,
a great deal of the difference In opinion
and the bd feWInK can be put straight by
a better understanding of each other.
It is true Japan has sent too few of our
representative citizens to this country. So
America saw the lower element, and came
to a hasty conclusion about the entire
Japanese people. In this connection I most
strongly hope that as many Americans as
SOFsible will go and see Japan and see the
apanese undisguised and not misrepre
sented by sensational accounts of the news
papers They will find that the Japanese
are their friends.
Mr. Numano then went on to say that
the market for American goods is not
in Canada nor In Australia, but In Japan
and in China. On this subject he said:
We are the best consumers, and the best
suppliers to each other.
Puts Blame on California.
The public press ought to stand for prin
ciple and represent matters as they really
exist, yet it seems that almost the reverse
Is true. The best elements of the two na
tions are so bound up in mutual respect as
to make thought of war hardly pleasant to
them. Yet articles written by Ill-informed
of cnnstantlv aDDearinz In tho news
papers. It Is our duty to warm the feelings
of the people on these opposite shores, that
their ties of friendship may not be loosened
by those unfortunate Californians.

Cornerstone Laid for United
Evangelical Edifice.
BRANCHES AGAIN UNITED
Breach That Occurred In Portland
Conference of Denomination Is
Healed and Organic Union
Is Now Probable.
Members of the United Evangelical
Church yesterday afternoon laid the cor
nerstone of their edifice, under construc
tion at East Sixteenth and Poplar streets,
in the Ladd tract, with appropriate
services. The ceremony at the site of
the new building was brief and was pre
ceeded by a more elaborate programme,
held in the First English .Church of the
Evangelical Association.
The meeting marked the practical
bridging of the chasm between the two
branches of the Evangelical churches in
Portland, ministers of both divisions
taking part. Rev. A. A. Winter, pastor
of the United Evangelical Church, pre
sided, assisted by Rev. Frank B. Culver,
of the First English Church. Rev. J.
Bowersox, Rev. M. J. Ballentyne and
others. Professor C. A. Mock, presi
dent of Dallas College, delivered an ap
propriate address. Rev. C. C. Poling,
the first pastor and founder of the First
English Church and the First United
Evangelical Church, delivered an his
torical address. As he was pastor and
founder of both churches he reviewed
their history. Dr. Poling first gave a
detailed history of the founding of the
First English Church up to the time the
United Evangelical Church was formed
by the split in tho two Oregon con
ferences. The First United Evangelical Church
originally stood at East Eighth and East
AtHin streets, but was later movea to
KuRt Tenth and East Sherman streets,
where a manse was added. This prop- j
erty was recently sold, a quarter block .
purchased In the Ladd tract ana tne
foundation of a handsome edifice has
been laid. Dr. Poling said concerning
the old dissension in the Oregon can
ference: The unpleasant and, as we look at It from
our present view-point, unnecessary and un
christian church trouble, which was thrust
upon us In 1S90. resulted in tne aivision ui .
the church. I do not desire nor intend to
speak of this unfortunate period, but this j
church was rent and torn In twain and
resulted in two organizations, which have
continued to exist as such until the Spres- I
ent time. But we praise God that the :
bitterness, which such works of darkness
produces, have all died out until we are at
least one In spirit.
Our churches have not developed the nu-
merical strength we had hoped and desired,
yet when we consult our records and note
the many bouIs saved and additions to the
church in these years and then remember
many of these have gone out Into various
parts of this great Northwest to carry the
same spirit of worship into other sections
and churches, we feel our energies and ef
forts have not been in vain.
The following brethren hav served as
presiding elder or pastor of this society:
J. Bowersox. M. J- Ballantyne. H. I. Pratt,
C. D. Slagel, now of Oil City, Pa.; B. J.
Kelly, T. L.. Weaver; the last two have since
died; T. I'. Smith, now of Pc!o, III.; C. T.

present pastor, who Is Just closing his fourth
year ot successful service and who has
in charge the erection of the present cement
structure. The future with its possibilities
and opportunities is before us and lull of
promise. May we be able and equal for the
work and responsibility. ,
At the conclusion of the services In
the church the congregation went to the
site of the new stone church in the Ladd
tract, where the cornerstone was laid
with prayer, sons and addresses. A cop
per box' containing church records was
deposited In the cornerstone. The exer
cises of the day were concluded Inst
night by a lecture in the Finst English
Church by Professor C. A. Mock, closing
a day that will undoubtedly bring the
two branches of the Evangelical denom
ination nearer organic union.
