Hermiston, of California, a chapel car man, arose to read the re port of the committee on c'.iapel car work. Mr. Hermiston was begged by delegates to refrain from mentioning; anything; In connection with Mr..Lo vett's remarks on Monday. Idaho People Grilled. "Why. that would be ridiculous." ld Mr. Hermiston, and forthwith cast hla manuscript report to the floor and with trenchant, biting- phrases, talked or and around Mr. Lovett in a manner neither that gentleman nor the Idaho delegates, to whom Mr. Her miston alluded as "wild-eyed Idahoans," aeemed to appreciate. "You fellows up in Idaho get a pipe line built to suck up water then do as much sucking as you now do blowing, and you will draw the whole ocean up there." said Mr. Hermiston. Mr. Lovett folt the sarcasm contained In Mr. Hermlston's remarks and as sured him that the Idahoans still loved Mr. Hermiston, they would continue to love him. and they intended no reflec tion on chapel car work. It was later pointed out to Mr. Lovett that his mo tion involving the change in supervis ion in the cars would not to effective legally and he withdrew it, although took care to remark there were some structural weaknesses In the system. As the element of discord appeared, there was some uneasiness, but Mr. Lo vett's statement of love chased away the feara and left the delegates free to cheer Mrs. Hermiston and her daugh who were called to the platform. During the morning the publication So ciety elected Samuel A. Croser, of Phila delphia, president. Other officers were also elected by adopting the report of a Dominating committee. Hoc la 1 Service Work Reported. The afternoon session opened with the presentation Dy Samuel Z. Batten, of Lincoln, .-veo., or me report of the com mittee on social service. Mr. Batten men tioned that but little was done by the church 'of today and any work done by the church for young people was mostly done by the Y. W. C. A. and Y. M C A i ma was somewnat unfortunate. he thought, for the work done was mostly of an athletic nature. Out of the churches reported to him, si per cent ac knowledged no work done for women. But few churches maintained employ .iui uutru, ne sam, although he thought they should do so. The churches are doing very little," .r. i.uni. m social service in philanthropic endeavors, in social eousness and In general betterment they are doing nothing directly, although in directly, perhaps, they are doing some thing. "The churches do not seem to be direct forces for righteousness in their com munities." he continued. "They ought to suppress vile literature and Impure shows and they ought to be a means of saving human lives for the kingdom. Many forces for evil might be abated If war was waged, if the practice of evil was made unprofitable. We may not be able to stop them, but we can see thev are not recognized as social factors in "the com munity. "The best way to overcome a bad sug gestion is to replace it by a good one. Let us have better sanitary arrangements, more parks In our cities, better amuse ments and a cleaner moral life. Remem ber, the world is to be saved by the laughter of little children. Mr. Batten then discusssed labor and economic, conditions. Being somewhat of a socialist, his opinions were a trifle stronger than the delegates believed in. but tha strong statements made in the text of his report were not carried out in the recommendations made by the com mitteee. He censured the sweating; system, the absence of child labor laws, labor-saving appliances, poverty and a number of other causes which he said reduced the position of the worker. He advocated the pay ment of the highest posssible wage as a minimum and thought that abatement of poverty would follow. Recommendations made were that the people of the churches be instructed in their social duties, and he praised the management of the B. T. P. U. for mak ing; its reading: course for the following: year on the social problems contained in the Bible. Further, a commission of 15 to Instruct churches in social reform, with the appointment of a social service secretary, was advised. The last recom mendation raised the ire of the Baptist Brotherhood members, and although the recommendation for a secretary was re ferred to a committee, a warm discussion arose. F. K. Marble, of Cambridge, secretary of the Baptist Brotherhood, said the recommendation would clause confusion with the Baptist Brotherhood, which was already conducting work on the line of social sen-ice. The appointment of any commission would conflict with the brotherhood work, he said. "Co-ordination is what is required," he said, "and not conflict." Rev. Mr. Burllngame. of California, said the sisters were also interested in the work of the commission. "Why should we limit our researches only to the male brethren?" he asked. Judge Clinch, of New York, asked If the convention, presumably free from any religious activity, would not become a religious enterprise if the commission plan were entertained. Rev. Mr. Parker, of Illinois, said there as nothing the Brotherhood had omitted infirm to do. "We have not asked the Brother hood to be an expense to this conven tion," he said. "If there is to be any subsidizing of a commission, why can't the Brotherhood have the money?" he asked. Dr. Morehouse detected the danger of a heated discussion. He leaped to his feet. "I move this be referred to the executive committee," he said. Rev. G. T. Webb, of Philadelphia, said action was taken by the convention last year leading to a social service commls. sion. "Ild the action taken by the con vention mean there would be no com mission?" he queried. Mr. Webb said the members of the commission had paid all their own expenses. "We should not refer this to the ex ecutive committee," said Mr. Lovett, of Idaho. We shall be taking a backward step if we do." Dr. Brougher recommended that the brotherhood and the commission advo cates talk the matter over. "We ought to clean up our cities," said the pastor. "I have been- doing some work here and you can see the fine kind of a city Portland is. Let's refer this to the executive committee." This was done and then a duet was sung by Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Spear of Bellingham, Wash. Nominations Report Made. Rev. Mr. Oarabrant, chairman of the committee on nominations,, then rose to read his report. His arm rested on the pile of printing and he refused to pass it even fo the press table until he had fully launched his report. "I want to propose for president one whose tact and good Judgment," he said, "have contributed to the success of the convention." There was loud cheers and much waving of handkerchiefs. "What's his name." came In a roar from the back of the church. "I Just remarked to the president," con tinued Mr. Qarabrant, "he was elected already. It is hardly necessary for me to mention his name, but to make the matter complete I will say the name of Harry Pratt Judson." Mr. Garabrant then read oft" the follow ing list of officers and executive commit tee: President Harry Pratt Judson. LL. D.. Chicago. Vice-president Gsorge Edwin Horr, r.

The proposal that the men named be elected unanimously was made by Mr. McConnell, of Xansas. and seconded by many delegates. The election was made and President Judson briefly re plied. "It Is quite contrary to my wishes and ideas." he said, "but I think it the duty of a Baptist layman to do what ever he is instructed to do by the North ern Baptist Convention, and yet there is a principle Involved; we are starting on an enterprise of great and far-reaching importance. "One danger, of all democratic bodies Is officialdom. Some officers should be kept as long as possible, such as our secretary. Mr. Bitting. The rest of us are largely figureheads." "Splendid figureheads," Interpolated a delegate. "I believe in all sincerity that It la not wise for presiding officers to con tinue in office, and I must make one very substantial condition you must never do it again." Rev. Mr. Edwards, of California, ap proached the president and said it was with considerable pain he had observed the president was using an ordinary claw-hammer as a gavel. "I tele graphed to Los Angeles," he said, "for a gavel. This gavel Is part of a tree near Jonesboro, Tenn. "The tree Is called the Daniel Boone tree, and bears the In scription D. Boone killed a b'ar.' The date is 1760. "I take pleasure in presenting you with this gavel a pleasure because it is you. President Judson."

"I am glad to be a secretary with the privilege of working under such a man as President Judson." Brotherhood ames Council. The Baptist Brotherhood then report ed, with a number of unimportant rec ommendations. The committee on nom inations presented a list of names from which the council will elect Its own of ficers.

Turney, of California, brought the wrath of the programme committee on his head by suggesting it commence to outline a programme for 1910. Members of the programme committee all over the floor got up with strenuous objections. They were already over worked, they said, and could not stand any more. The motion lapsed. Judge Clinch, of New York, moved the committee on laws be instructed to re port at the next convention. This mo tion carried and Judge Clinch then moved that a motion by L. A.

Holding the undivided attention of his audience for nearly two hours during the evening session at the White Temple last night, the last speaker. Dr. W. T. Stack house, a six and one-half-foot Canadian, a veritable Abe Lincoln, except that his speech was longer than Lincoln's ever were, proved himself the most eloquent and convincing orator that has yet ap peared on the platform of the Northern Baptist convention. With his subject as "Forward Move ment in Missions Among the Christian Men in the Dominion of Canada," Dr. Stackhouse confined his remarks to the three considerations:' a greater compre hension of missions, a greater concentra tion of missions and a greater contribu tion to missions. Francis W. Parker, of Illinois, in speak ing on the subject, "The Baptist Brother hood Scope and Method," dwelt on the proper pursuit of happiness and of the service of men to the church. . Herbert S. Johnson, of Massachusetts, a son of the first president of the Oregon State University, spoke eloquently on the subject "Organized Churchmen and the Social Problem." He dwelt on the neces sity of raising the wages of the working girl as a necessity for her salvation. WOMEN TO TALK MISSIONS Congregational Societies Will Hold Rally Here Today.

GRIP TRUST OF GRAVEL Builders Are Overcharged Each Year $100,000 as Re sult of Combination. TERRITORY PARCELED OUT Three Companies, Acting Through Central Agen, Divide Market, Maintain Prices and Gouge Consumers, Another trust, waxing fat on Portland's prosperity, is the sand and gravel trust. There is no competition between the men who scoop up these building materials from, the bottom of tha Willamette and Columbia rivers; they maintain a fixed schedule of prices, parcel out between themselves the territory all along those rivers and In this city and pool their business In a central office, in the Lum- ber Exchange building. Just like George W. Bates' famous sewer pipe trust. Wherefore there is wailing and gnash ing of teeth among contractors and those for whom buildings and sidewalks are built. What are the profits of the trust? No person outside the lnr.er circle Is per mitted to know exactly, but wise ones who have been In the business of dredg ing the river bottom can guess pretty closely. They say the trust is gouging Portland to the extent of 100 per cent net profit that Is doubling the actual cost of the sand and gravel in the price to consumers.-. Robbery, Say Consumers. "That's business," says the trust. it s rODOery. assert those, who nav uie ouis. Portland is paying between 85 and 90 cents a cubic yard for sand and gravel at the three bunkers of the trust and 1.70 a cubic yard delivered within a half mile. That makes 2.60 a "load" of 2 1-8 cubic yards. For each additional half mile delivery, or fraction thereof, no mat ter how small the fraction, even the width of a street, the extra cost is a trifle more than 20 cents a yard 50 cents a load. This bunkers price of between 85 and 90 cents) is declared excessive by dredge men wno nave been In the business. A circle of them, discussing the matter yesterday, reacned the conclusion that 25 cents a yard will pay for dredging, towing and hoisting sand and gravel to the bunkers; that 20 cents more will pay the coat of hauling each half mile and that 50 cents yard, at most. Is the total actual cost laid down in the street where used. The difference between this 50 cents actual cost and the J1.70 charged represents profit, rake-off or graft, whichever one wishes to call It. Look at Chris Minsinger." exclaimed one of the envious or indignant gentle men Mr. Minsinger Is head of the Star Sand Company, one of the three con stituents of the trust. "He's getting rich. Few years ago he had hardly one dollar to rub against another. Then look at Hackett" Mr. Hackett Is chief of the Columbia Digger .Company, which sells Its product through C. J. Cook Company. 'He's talking automobile, has a big for tune and makes $25,000 or $30,000 a year. Had no money when he started in; rented scows and borrowed a dredge; now he's got his plant all paid for out of hia profits and then some. Look at Nickum & Kelly how .fast they're getting rich. Oh, this sand and gravel business Is a fat graft." Fair Profit, Replies Trust- The trust members do not deny that they are making good money. They think. however, that their profits are fair. It's difference of opinion about what con stitutes fair profit that makes the argu ment. . It takes difference of opinion to make a horse race. Just so it takes the same disagreement to make a debate on the trust. More than four years the trust has maintained prices. At tse first of the Lewis and Clark Fair, when Portland's big building boom was fairly under way. the trust organized itself as the Central Sand Company, with R. A. Hume at its head. Then when Portland's anti-trust ordinance came into being, the Central Sand Company was forgot ten and sank Into innocuous dlsuetude, with none to own its paternity, where it still rests. When this month of June opened, there came with It a central selling agency for the three sand and gravel companies, operating under the name of R. A. Hume. This gentleman knows thoroughly the sand and gravel busi ness and is an apt man to head its com bined interests. Mr. Hume says he knows no trust; that he simply buys sand and gravel from the Star Sand Company, the Columbia Digger Com pany and Nickum & Kelly, and resells it to consumers and contractors. Noth ing of trust practice here; only open business. The trust, or Mr. Hume, whosoever you may think, has drawn circles all around Portland. These circles are blue and yellow and red three colors. There are three members of the trust. Within the circles of one color, one of the trust members makes deliveries; within the circles of another color. another member s "Is and so with the third color and the third member. The blue territory belongs to Mr. Hackett's Columbia Digger Company and the C. i""'1""-' Mr. aim- "l"pr " , san company and the I yelllw to Nickum & Kelly.
