AFTER 10-DAY FAST
IT
Until Pangs Are Felt", Portland
Architect Will Continue
Without Food.
WEIGHT IS LOST SLOWLY
Waiting for "Second Hunger," Al
bert S. Houghton Says He Feels
Better and Former Head
aches Have Disappeared.
Although he has gone ten days
without a morsel of food, Albert S.
Hougrhton, a photographer, In the
SelHng-Hlrsch building, says he is not
hungry. lie says that he intends to
continue his fast ten days longer, if
he does not become hungry before that
time. During his psptraoted fast he
has continued his work as usual, and
said yesterday that except for a slight
weakness he felt as well as before he
stopped eating.
In many ways. Mr. Houghton said
yesterday, he feels better. 4II can think
better," he said, "and my skin is
clearer. It is amazing what a quan
tity of poisonous matter nature will
throw off when the food is cut off and
the ellmlnative organs are given a
chance to do their work properly."
Sinclair's Experience Guide.
Mr. Houghton was led to try the
: "fast cure" by reading an article by
. Upton Sinclair, in the Cosmopolitan.
(In It Mr. Sinclair tells of seeking re
. lief from stomach troubles, bilious
headaches and intestinal disorders with
the aid of medicines and by treatment
af a noted sanatorium and a trip to
the Bermudas and to the Adirondacks.
He tried "Fletcherlsm," which consists
of a thorough mastication of the food,
and was led to the belief that a pro
longed fast would cure him of his
stomach disorders. He tried it 12 days,
he asserted, and afterward tried it
with beneficial results.
Mr. Houghton's experience thus far
has been much the same as Mr. Sin
clair's. The photographer said yestei
day that when he began the fast his
eyes were bloodshot and yellowish. But
in the ten days these symptoms have
vanished. Mr. Houghton was also
troubled with headaches, but he says
these have disappeared.
"For the first two days I was raven
ously hungry," he said. "Since that I
have had no desire for food and in
tend to continue fasting until I get
my second hunger, even if I fast 20
days. Thus far I have been able to
continue with my ' work here in the
studio. I am somewhat weak, but I
walked up the two flights of stairs
this noon without difficulty. If I find
myself too weak from lack of food I
shall employ someone to take my place
in the studio.
Pound a Day Ixret.
"The object of the fast is to give
the system a chance to throw off the
poisonous matter which has accumu
lated, until it is thoroughly cleansed.
When the poisons are not thrown off as
they should be they are taken up by
the blood, and a person begins to feel
'dopey.' Urio acid accumulates in the
system, and the person feels blue. I
bathe every other night and take an
enema every night, besides drinking
plenty of water.
"Tea, of course I am losing weight.
I weighed 1(10 pounds three years ago,
when I came from California. When
I began to fast I weighed 144 pounds,
and yesterday I weighed 135 pounds,
so that I have lost nine pounds In as
many days. I sleep well every night.
72-Hour Fast Easy. ,

73 hours at the same time the Messina
earthquake sufferers were fighting for
food, with the pangs of hunger gnaw

HSU G LAW VIOLATED
STORAGE PLANTS F1"LL AT BE
GINNING OP SEASON.
Salmon Impounded In Sloughs Wait-
in? for Legal Date Will Be
Marketed Today.
Among the fishermen quartered at the
hotels of Portland yesterday, the belief
was expressed that shipments of salmon
coming off the scales Sunday night,
Monday and Tuesday should not be
taken as Indicative of the fish run for
the season. -
"While there has not been during the
closed season such an open and defiant
activity among the firshermen on either
side of the river as in past years," de
clared a well-known Columbia River
ptorage packer, "the deliveries on Mon
day will be something astounding.
"It is true that cold-storage plants on
the Washington side were so full of fish
that they fairly leaked salmon Saturday
night. I am told that the plants at
Kalama could hold no more. They un
doubtedly had been taken Binoe the 1910
run started.
"It Is common knowledge that in the
sloughs . and inlets breaking back from
the river and which are more or less
concealed from view from the river.
fishermen have been steadily at work
on the Washington side. In many in
stances fences have been placed across
sloughs, where holding ponds are- made.
In some of these there are from six to 30
tons of salmon. Fish held in that way
will be marketed today and tomorrow.
"It is almost Impossible for the fish
wardens to prevent that sort of poach
ing. The fishermen learn the peculiarity
of the sound made by every gas engine
on thd river. What chance has the flag
ship of Admiral McAllister to catch the
fishtaker when the cutter runs down the
river carrying two lights, and announcing
her arrival by the chugging of her ma
chinery for minutes before the boat gets
near the man she wants to capture?
"Cenners at Portland, McGowans, War
rendale, Megler, Altoona, Pillar Rock,
Cathlamet, Goble and Astoria will receive
a large lot of mighty fine fish today."

7000 AT MEETINGS
Two Large Congregations At
tend Revival Services.
30 CHURCHES INTERESTED
Rev. Herbert Hart and Rev. Arthur
Magann, Evangelists; Conduct
Union Exercises in Haw- .
thorne-Avenue Tabernacle. ,
With two largely attended services yes
terday, Rev. Herbert C. Hart and Rev.
Arthur Magann, evangelists, opened the
union meetings In Hawthorne Park tab
ernacle, in which 30 churches, represent
ing many denominations, have united.
At 3 o'clock In the afternoon, the nrst
Bervices .were conducted in the presence
of about 2000 people, and the attendance
was nearly 6000 at night, when the second
meeting was held. In the afternoon, most
of the programme was devoted to organiza
tion and the address of Rev. Mr. Hart
was, directed to the members of the
churches. Ministers from the different
churches were eeated on the left side of
the platform, and the singem from the
church choirs occupied the chairs back
of the speakers' platform. A stirring
song, led by Mr. Magann. was the open
ing number of the services. Rev. Clar
ence True Wilson, of Centenary Church,
in a few words introduced Rev. Mr. Hart.
Rev. Mr. Wallace said that practically
every East Side church had united In
the union meetings.
Rev. Mr. Hart delivered a talk, setting
forth the conditions under which revival
might be expected that would stir Port
land.
"The church of today 1s well organized
said Rev. Mr. Hart, "and in fact has too
much organization. There is certainly no
lack of organization, with the Epworth
League, the women's and other societies;
but thes lack power. There is no lack
of social prestige In the church; there is
no lack of money, no lack of great learn
ing. leadership, statesmanship no lack of
education and culture. All these the
church has in abundance. Tt has great
men in all walkp of life, it has great ed
ucators and men of great wealth, men
who open their purses to the missionary
cause. There is abundant Christian ed
ucation.
20,000,000 Conversions Wanted
"There was a call for 120.000.000 for
Christianity, but what we want are 20,
000.000 souls converted. If the church
does not lack money, brainy men, states
men and leaders of thought and educa-
tlon, then what does it lack? The answer
is: The church lacks the Holy Ghost-
It Is out of touch with the teachings of
Jesus. If we are to have a great revival
here in Portland, we must have a clean
church. Sin must not be covered up. We
must . he a united church. The church
must have faith and belief."
Rev. Mr. Magann sang a solo at the
close of the afternoon services. Rev. Mr.
Hart announced that meetings would be
held every day, except Saturday, at 3 P.
M., and at 7:30 every evening, except
Saturday.
A rest-room nad been provided in one
corner of the tabernacle for use of
mothers. . Rev. Mr. Hart said that he
wanted mothers to come with their
babies, but wanted them to retire to the
rest-room if the babies cried.
It was announced that singing will be
made a special feature of all the meet
ings, and all singers from all the church
choirs and those who are gifted with
good voices are requested to send in their
names and Join the general choir. While
the union meetings are in progress, the
East Side churches will have morning
. .
services Sunday, but no evening meetings
either Sunday or during the week-days.
Euster Boosts Meeting.
Of the evangelistic services in Haw
thorne Park, Rev. W T. Euster, pastor
of Sunnyside Methodist Church, said In
his sermon yesterday morning:
."I want all who can to attend the union
meetings at the tabernacle In Hawthorne
Park. I think it would be a good place
for the officials of this and other
churches to go. We ministers ought to
go. The first meetings will be for the
benefit of the churches, and we ministers
and officials ought to take our medicine."
Rev. Mr. Euster made no allusion to
his differences with the building commit
tee or nis congregation.
DR. HINSON FllyliS PULPIT
San IMego Man May Accept' White
Temple Tastorate.
fcr. W. B. HInson, of San rMego.
preached yesterday morning at the
White Temple on "First Things First"
and last night on "The Biggest Thing
m America." Before launching upon
his morning 6ermon, Dr. HInson made
remarks which led members of the
White Temple to think he Intends to
accept their offer of the pulpit.
ur. Hinson saia ne was to preach at
the White Temple for a month, and
xnai mere is a possibility he will be
pastor of the local church for ten
years. He had no Idea of accepting
the call when he visited Portland six
weeks ago, he said.
He will meet with the nrudentlaJ
committee of 25 at 8 o'clock tonight,
when a decision may be reached.
At the morning communion service
preparation had been made to serve
wine in the Individual communion
glasses to only 250. But when the
trays were passed these glasses were
all taken and a large number left un
served. Rev. John Bentzien, the as
sistant pastor, apologized for the fail
ure of the deacons to provide sufficient
wine. ,
NEW CHURCH IS DEDICATED
Archbishop Christie Conducts Ore
monies at Sheridan.
Archbishop Alexander Christie left in
the Catholic chapel car yesterday for
Sheridan. where he dedicated the
Church of the Good Shepherd, the first
Catholic Church in the town. This
church was built through the efforts of
Rev. T. B. McB-evitt, who accompanied
the Archbishop, as did also Rev. Arthur
Delorlmler. Besides the clergymen a
large number of Catholics went from
Portland, a special train being run for
the occasion.
Mass was celebrated at 11 o'clock and
after the dedication Archbishop Christie
preached. The new church has a seat
ing capacity of about 400 and cost 16000.
Father McDevltt has secured the funds
for the erection of churches at New
berg, Dallas and Independence.

Scoring immoral moving-picture shows,
and especially moving-picture exhibits of
prizefights, as causes contributing to
make juvenile delinquents. Rev. Dr. Will
iam Hiram Foulkes preached at the First
Presbyterian Church last night on "Con
tributory Delinquency." He first referred
to compulsory education, child labor laws
and the physical examination of children
as forward steps. He eulogized Judge
Bronaugh's administration of the Ju
venile Court, and then paid his respects to
cheap theaters and billboards.
"Some people think that the minister,
with his Puritanic views, does not know
that the child must be amused and that
variety Is the spice of life," he said.
"When the spice of life Is substituted for
the bread of life, however, trouble soon
ensues. The children of today are amuse
ment mad. They are making a business
of what God intended they should turn
aside to only once in a while.
Children's Souls Assailed.
"And if we say this of the children,
what shall we say of those who are en
gaged in the traffic of the souls of chil
dren with no other thought than financial
gain? I said souls of children. We are
still engaged in our tramc In the bodies
of children, and when the glorious Fourth
rolls around again for, though an effort
was made to have a real sane Fourth, the
financial profits of the merchants weighed
against the welfare of the children we
shall pay the toll in little children's lives.
"Another thing: Nine-tenths of the pic
tures upon the billboards advertising the
plays at the theaters contribute to Juve
nile delinquency. Can you tell me that a
young girl pure in mind can look upon the
ploture of a woman, clothed in the gar
ments of harlotry, with wine flowing, and
remain unchanged in heartT The comio
newspaper supplement is ruining the
esthetic taste and loosening the moral
fiber of young minds. The language
printed and the things portrayed are
neither artistic nor uplifting. .
Impure Thoughts Engendered.
"Borne of the cheap theaters are half
decent. In many of them depraved pic
tures are thrown on the screen. I have
nothing to say against legitimate amuse
ment, nor against those who are making
a business of furnishing amusement- JBut
many things advertised are not fit for
eyes to see and the suggestive thoughts
which come as a result are not fit for hu
man hearts. '
"My attention was called to the pic
tures of the prizefights more than a week
ago. I took the matter up with Mayor Si
mon and the Police Commissioners, and
was assured that something would be
done. I was obliged to leave the city for
a few days, but when I returned the sign
advertising them, was still up. We have
had a few 'boxing contests' where the
boxers did what they usually do at prize
fights, but we have flattered ourselves we
had no real prizefights. Tet here at the
moving-picture exhibits, where two-thirds
of the audiences are children, the prize
fight is brazenly advertised -and thrown
upon the screen.
"There is nothing more Important to
Portland than an honest, equitable, busi
ness administration of her affairs. But
any administration that puts business, so-
called, over against morals, and that
makes It easy for little feet to go In for
bidden paths, is. bringing condemnation
upon the city."

MERCY FOR PRISONERS
Parallel Between Cases of Jean Val
jean and F. E. Orr.
PORTLAND. April 29. (To the Editor.)
I cannot refrain from commenting on the
recent Instance of the arrest of a man in our
city who was pursuing an honest calling
and living a righteous life by the testimony
of all his associates, but who was an
escaped convict from the Washington State
Penitentiary. I refer, of course, to the case
of Frank E- Orr, alias Adams, who, through
the "tip" of a former fellow convict, was
arrested by the police and taken to the
Penitentiary to serve out his term for the
offense for which he was - endeavoring to
make reparation to society by living an
honest life and following a useful vocation.
This, to my mind, ts exactly contrary to
the doctrine of good public policy. Orr, or
Adams, as the case may be, was unquestion
ably endeavoring to reform his life, while
the stoolpigeon who "tipped him off," in
consideration of pecuniary reward, and in
mitigation of his own punishment, will be
thereby let free sooner to ply his calling
in the community without any intention or
hope of atonement. Now, I question these
methods of administering "justice." . The
theory of the law, as we have been led to
understand, is the reformation of the crimi
nal rather than his punishment. Here is a
man that has gone wrong, obtained his free
dom and within 250 miles of his place of
incarceration established himself in business
and made an honest effort to live a proper life,
with fcuch success as to win the- encomiums
of his fellow citizens who had no knowledge
of his former life. He is prevented from
doing this and disgraced by an unholy com
of "justice" and a "stoolplsceon." We have
in this country, and in Europe, societies
organized 'or the purpose of trying to re
establish and aid people to reform their
lives, people who have been convicted of
crime. We have one such society in this
city, which is backed bar our foremost cit-
Dr. Wythe's plan is to give the pub
lic the best work possible for the least
money, and not ask pay for the work be
fore it is done. You need have no fear
in coming to Dr. Wythe's offices, for
even if you have an examination, and
an estimate is given you, it does not ob
ligate you to have your work done here.
We will gladly look your work over and
advise vou what to do.

lzens, who give both of their time and
money to Its objects, but I am of the opin
ion that this recent, incident complained of
will do more rtamape t the cause than can
be overcome In many years.
Victor Hugo. In his novel '-Les Mlserables"
Justified ' the telling of an untruth in two
instances by people who were above the ap
proach of condoning wrong-doing where the
efforts of an ex-crlmlnal were being exer
cised for his reformation. The old bishop,
who deliberately lied in saying he had given
the candle sticks to Jean Valjean, and the
mother superior, at the convent in Paris,
who protected him against Jabrat both, to
my mind, did more to advance -the real
cause of Justice than multitudes of sermons
and tons of religious literature preached and .
written by many of the saints of both pres
ent and past times.
For myself I would, and believe from cur
rent conversation that there are others who
wGuld rather be the victim of this atrocious
incident of injustice than the much-vaunted
"defender" of the law who received ftO
pieces of silver for sending Orr back to
prison, and probably .discourage all future,
