J. Bowersox Criticised for Lion-Cage Ceremony. ELDER CONDEMNS PARSON Dr. C. C. Poling Grieved Over Vet eran Clergyman's "First Mis take" Pastor. Chided, Says He Did 'o Wrong. Performance of th wedding cere mony In the lions- cajte at the Oaks Sunday by Rev. J. Bowersox, a rlneer minister of the I'nited Evangelical Church, at Ockley Green, has aroused sever, comment from ministers of his own denomination. and especially from the Presiding Elder, Dr. C. C. pollnir. of the Oregon Conference, who lives in Portland. Mr. Bowersox has been an active minister of Oregon for more than 35 years, and Is one of the best known clergymen of the fnlted Evangelical denomination. Before the organiza tion of the I'nited Evangelical church Mr. Bowersox was a rrominent minls- . ter of Evangelical Association. That many of his ministerial associates are chagrined that he performed the wed ding ceremon? at The Oaks Sunday was demonstrated yesterday by numer ous telephone messages received by Presiding Elder Poling at his home at 432 East Eleventh street. Some of the messages were in" the nature of Inquiries to make certain that Mr. Bowersox. of the Ockley Green church, actually tied the cage knot. The ques tioners seemed greatly disappointed when assured that there had been no mistake, that the veteran minister, m-ho has been a shining light for a lifetime In Oregon, did perform the ' ceremony. Or. Poling said yesterday: I am exceedingly sorry that this has occurred, for the sake - of the church and for Mr. Bowersox' sake as well. If he had only Intimated to me Sunday what his Intentions were. I could have persuaded him not to go to the Oaks, but he said absolutely nothing about what he Intended to do. Punday was a big day with the I'nited Evangelical churches of this city, but Mr. Bowersox was not present at the meeting held in the afternoon, nor In -the evening. In honor of our mission aries departing for China. "Ha excused himself from attend- ing the J-o'clock meeting held in his own church, but unfortunately he did not say why he could not attend the meeting. If he had I could have saved him from that act that is so generally condemned by our people. We, as church, of course, cannot approve his action. The wedding was for the pur pose of attracting a big crowd and making money, and It was Sunday. Mr. Bowersox has had a lorgr and fine history of good work In this state, and this ijjthe first mistake of the sort ne has made. We must condemn the act. and the church must condemn H. Whether any official charges will be made against Mr. Bowersox 1 not known, but Dr. Poling stated yes terday that Mr. Bowersox usefulness as a minister had been seriously im periled, if not destroyed, by his per formance of the marriage ceremony at the Oaks Sunday. He further said if a younger minister had tied the nup tial knot he would be disciplined, but did not intimate what further action. If any. would be taken. Mr. "Bowersox. himself. d-;s not con sider that he committed any serious offense against morality by officiating at the cage ceremony. He said yes terday: "Everything was perfectly regular and quiet about the wedding. J went there at the request of some friends and performed the wedding ceremony. Of course, when i got on ine grounds I was sorry it was Sunday. That is my only regret. The marriage license was regular and I cannot see any reason why the ceremony should not have been performed. When I arrived on the ground I was assured that It was perfectly safe for the couple to go into the cage with the lions and trifiner. And had I also been asked to go Inside I would have gone and felt safe. "The ceremony was performed in the regular way, and the trainer spoke words of admonition calling attention to the importance of the marriage re lations. I had talked with the1 couple before they entered the cage In the same way. so they were Impressed with the step they were about to take. The marriage was performed quietly and respectably with no thought of wrongdoing." LOCAL TICKETS No Good on the Chicago-Port land Special.

BODY TO MEET MONDAY District Attorney Asserts Request for Investigation Will Be Granted. Cause of Infant Mortality Is Object of Dairy Scrutiny. Responsibility for the mortality among the babies of Portland, alleged to be due to an Impure milk supply, will be a sub ject for Inquiry by the grand Jury to assemble next Monday. J. W. Bailey, State Dairy and Food Commissioner, yesterday called at the District Attor ney's office and requested such an inves tigation. He was assured that the sit uation would bo investigated along with other matters requiring the attention of that inquisitorial body. "The purity of the milk supplied In this city, so far as it may relate to the death of infants, will be submitted to the grand -Jury next week for investiga tion." said Deputy . District Attorney Fitzgerald yesterday. "This subject may not be taken up when the Jury first Con venes Monday morning but at the re quest of the State Dairy and Food Com missioner we shall conduct an Inquiry into the situation before the grand Jury la discharged. " Officers of the State Board of Health profess to be just as desirous as Mr. Bailey for such an Investigation. In an Interview, yesterday, Robert C. Tenney, secretary of that board, said he and his associates invited the proposed Investi gation which, he said, would serve to fasten the blame for the death of many Infants and at the same time assist ma terially In placing the responsibility for such Impure milk as is being delivered to Portland families. Dr. Yenney takes the position that before any responsi bility in the matter can be fixed directly bn the State Board of Health, the Dairy Commissioner must first transfer to the board the authority vested In his office and at the same time make available the services of the three deputies at tached to his office, together with their salary and expense allowance. "The charge that I have been inactive in the discharge of the duties of my of fice is not well-founded," said Mr Bailey yesterday. "Ever since June 1, when I was authorized to appoint three field deputies, these men have been con stantly employed in different sections of the state inspecting dairies and test ing the milk supply. They are able to expedite their work by following the nu merous dairy routes as established by cream gatherers, with the result that they are inspecting, on an' average, 15 dairies a day. In addition to this work, the milk supply of Salem, Astoria and Eugene as well as of Tillamook, Clat sop and a part of Linn ' Counties has been tested. "As a further evidence of the activity of my office and Heputies, I would re fer to the fact that since last October, when I completed my last biennial report to the Legislature, we have conducted 32 prosecutions of dairymen for dis tributing adulterated milk and convic tions were secured in every intsance. Two dairymen also were prosecuted suc cessfully for maintaining unsanitary dairies. I defy either the state or the City Board of Health to make the same showing. As a matter of fact, although the City Board of Health is provided with an Inspector. I have not been able to learn that he has conducted a single prosecution In the line of his work since he assumed the office in May. FREE CITY BATHS URGED Ii. Samuel Points to Most Successful Boston Swimming Pool. That the city will be guilty of crim inal negligence If it permits another season to go by without establishing free public baths, is the declaration of L. Samuel, of S81 Twelfth street, general manager of the Oregon Life Insurance Company. Seven years ago Mr. Samuel and Edward Holman, throagh public subscriptions, estab lished a public bathing pontoon in the river, and during that time not one young bather was drowned. Contrasted with this record is the list of 10 lives lost by drowning in the Willamette during the present season. The free baths were turned over to the city two years ago and were aban doned last Spring. I made a visit to Boston when we first established the baths," said Mr. Samuel, "and from what I saw of the free baths there, which are the finest in the country, it is best to depend them from the bridges over the river. In this way there can be no conflict with private property. For that matter there are plenty of available sites." Mayor Simon has expressed himself heartily in favor of the plan to have the city re-establish the baths, and it is probable next season will see them again in operation.

Versteeg, Who Was Driving Machine 'Which Crashed Into Buggy, Declares Accident Did Not ' Amount to Much. An automobile accident which only' good fortune prevented from being serious oc curred Sunday on the Mount Hood road, near Government Camp, and reports which have just come to light differ widely as to whether anyone was hurt. G. N. Versteeg, who lives at 694 Broad way, a Portland brick manufacturer, was driving automobile No. 1450, when it crashed Into a light rig driven by Carl Ralthal, of Salmon River, and occupied by Mrs. George and family. The horse was badly cut about the chest and the wagon was damaged considerably. According to one report Raithal, who !s a boy about 18 years of age, was thrown under the horse and severely bruised, while the other members of the party were also said to have been in jured. This report further . states Mr. Versteeg proceeded on down the steep road, leaving the wrecked party stranded and compelling the boy Raithal to walk to Government Camp for assistance. This is contradicted by Mr. Versteeg, who told the details f the accident, but denied leaving the party or hurting any one in the wagon. Mr. Versteeg said: "We were driving down a steep grade and saw the rig in front of us but a few feet away. There was no chanc to stop and the brakes refused to work well and the machine, which I threw to one side of the road, hit the horse and cut it badly. Not one of the party was hurt in the least. , As for my leaving there, the Idea is preposterous. I stayed there for one hour and 20 minutes. The accident hap pened at 6 o'clock and it was 6:20 o'clock before we left. We stayed and talked with the people In the rig and had Dr. Ray Matson on the spot within 10 minutes and he found that no one was injured. We sent to Government Camp for some one to attend the injured horse and did not Ieav until he arrived, an hour and 20 minutes later. We did everything in ' our power for the party. The automobile was not damaged." Both accounts agree as " to the main circumstances of the accident, the rig occupants also stating they did not see the automobile until it loomed! up a few feet away as it was coming down a steep hill and rounded a curve just ahead. The accident occurred just after the automo bile had left the Mountain House. OREGON WORLD'S GARDEN So Says Colonel Agen, of Texas, Who Is Visiting Portland. That Portland is the finest city for a home and from a business standpoint in the country, that Oregon is the most wonderful state In the Union and the Oregon country the gardenspot of the world is the opinion of Colonel James H. Agen, of Houston, Tex., who Is va itlng here -with his daughter, Mrs. Belle Griffin, of 566 Johnson street. Mr. Agen is a real estate man who has specialized in farm lands and his opinion of the Ore gon farms carries considerable weight. "I have been coming to Portland now for ten years." said Colonel Agen, "and have always been just on the point of locating here. We have some fine coun try down in Texas and our city of Hous ton is no back number, but I must say Portland tempts me. You have had a wonderful growth here in the last ten years, in fact, the Oregon country Is just beginning to blossom, despite its wonderful wealth and present develop ment. "I am a land man and know a good proposition when I see it and there is no question that Portland, located in the heart of the finest country on earth, among farms as fertile as those in a tropical climate, Is destined to be tha gateway of the West and the most pow erful city In the great new empire now opening here. "You have everything in Oregon the finest fruit lands In the world, the best system of marketing your produce, tim ber to supply the country, hills rich in minerals, and farms are Ideal in their productiveness. I have Invested rather heavy in Oregon timber and agricultural land and now my holdings are such that I am about as much an Oregonian as a Texan." Recalls Days of. Stuart Kings. In reply to inquiry received by The Oregonian as to the Identity of an English writer named Hammond, the author of book entitled 'The Whole Duty of Man." if reference will be made to the Public Library complete information as to Rev. Henry Ham mond, born at Ohertsey, England, August 18. 1605, will be found by con sulting "A Dictionary of National Biegraphy," volume 24, page 244.
