to that of the Home Mission Society.
Rev. E. R. 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

President Judson Accept.
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 president Judson hoped the conven-

tlon would be using the gavel 150 years
hence, just as 150 years in the past it
was part of a tree in which X. Boone's
bear took refuge.
Secretary Bitting was called for. He
said he had nothing to say. "As to
President Judson, laurels are no stran
gers to his brow and compliments no
delectation to his ears," said Mr. Bit
ting. "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. The council was elected, in toto,
as follows:

L. 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. Crandall, amended
and passed Monday, be expunged from

Addresses at Kight.
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.

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;
