. Bi-tiop Cook to Xame Pastor
September 23 Probably.
Formal declaration of the consolida
tion of the First (Taylor-Street) Meth
odist Church and the Grace Methodist
Kpiscopal Church was pronounced by
Lr. J. V. McDougall. superintendent of
the Methodist Episcopal Church for ihe
Portland district Monday night follow
ing; the ratification by the quarterly
conference of the Taylor-street church
of the resolution passed Thursday night
by the conference of the Grace Church,
the mutual adoption of which auto
matically effects a union of the two
institutions.
Although only one member of the
conference cast & negative ballot on
the final question a sentimental discus
sion of more than two hours in length
revealed the fact that there was a con
siderable element In the home church
opposed to the union under the rec
ommendations of the resolution.
The two churches are now legally
one. but they will continue in their
separate capacities until after the next
meeting of the general conference. Sep
tember IS. At that conference a board
of trustees will be elected to govern
the future administration of the church
affairs and at the close of the con
ference, probably Monday. September
23. a new pastor for the combined
church will be appointed by the lately
installed Bishop Cooke. These meet
ings will be held at Ashland.
n Kdirlee Planned.
After the coming meeting of the
conference the congregation of the
Grace Church will move in a body to
the pastorate at Third and Taylor
streets until such time as plans are
perfected for the erection and occu
pancy of a rebuilt or entirely new- edi
fice. The recommendation of the
adopted resolution, prepared by a Joint
committee of the two churches, is that
the new church be constructed on the
site of the present Grace Church, at
Twelfth and Taylor streets: the fur
ther recommendation is that the church
property at Third and Taylor streets
be transformed into revenue-bearing
property, returns from which are to
revert to "church extension and other
missionary work." and that the pres
ent parsonage at Eleventh and Sal
mon streets be sold and the revenue
turned into the regular building fund.
The new church will have a seating
capacity of 2000 and will be modern in
everv respect. According to the esti
mates made last evening the new
building will cost approximately $150.
000 and will be modern in every de
tail. It is thought that $35,000 or
$40,000 will accrue to the building fund
from the resources now on hand and
that anywhere from 70.000 to $90,000
will have to be raised by voluntary
subscription from the combined con
gregation. Meeting End In Harmony.
The objection to the resolution was
not prompted by any aversion to the
plan of consolidation, but grew rather
out of the question as to where the
new edifice was to he located. Many of
the older members of the Taylor-Street
Cliurch disliked the Idea of deserting
-he historic landmark. The argument
if economy also entered prominently
nto the consideration. The conten
ion for the new site was that it is bet
er located to attract and hold the per
manent residence congregation, which
s being crowded back steadily from
:he "down town" district, as the pio
neer -site was referred to.
Those who figured prominently in
the discussion were: For the adoption
at the resolution as presented by the
committee. A. M. Smith. T. S. McDaniel,
J. W. Bell. Dr. Benjamin Young. Dr.
Theodore Fessler: those opposed. Dr.
Allan Welch Smith. Dr. E. C. Brown
and I. D. Boyer. Tht meeting closed
harmoniously.
The new church Is to be known as
"The First Methodist Episcipal Church
of Portland."

Debate on Works Resolution Plunges
Senate Into Debate.
WASHINGTON". Aug. 20. The first
attempt of the Senate to debate the
Works resolution for a single six-year
term for President and Vice-President
plunged that body into discussion of
the political situation. Senator Cora
miss made the chief speech in support
of" the" resolution, 'but it was inter
polated with a running fire of com
ment from Progressives, Republicans
and Democrats. .
Senator Borah readvfrorri one of Gov
ernor Wilson's works to show that the
Democratic candidate had favored long
tenure of the Presidential office.
"The Governor has indorsed the Bal
timore platform." said Senator Wil
liams, Democrat.
"He may yield to his platform, but
I doubt if he yields his Judgment,"
said Senator Borah.
Candidate' Writing Compared.
"I think the Senator will admit." re
torted Senator Williams, "that Gover
nor Wilson has never written more
recklessly than Theodore Roosevelt."
"If the Colonel has written some
things which he ought not to have
written." replied Senator Borah, "he

DALLAS. Or., Aug. 20. (Spe
cial.) Mrs. Mary Hubbard died

which the public is indebted to him."
Senator Williams said Governor Wil
son had never said anything unkind
about men who had been Presidents of
the United States since its foundation.
"I offer a good $2.50 chromo to any
one," he said, "who will show me any
comment made by Mr. Roosevelt on any
President except Abraham Lincoln and
himself which was in any way compli
mentary." Two-Term Limit Suggested.
Senator Williams proposed a consti
tutional amendment as a substitute for
the Works resolution, limiting a Presi
dent to two terms of four years each.
The six-year term split the Insurgent
and progressive ranks of the Republi
cans. Senators Cummins. Works,
Borah and others advocated it. while
Senators Clapp, Crawford and Bristow
argued against it.
The Clayton bill to amend the Fed
eral Constitution so as to provide a
single Presidential term of six years
was reached .yesterday by the House,
but on objection of Representative
Cooper, of Wisconsin, the resolution
was sent over to the Winter session of
Congress.

FINGER PRINTS OF . 1872
Kansas Officer Esed Digit's Impress
on Streetcar Pass.
Kansas City Star.
If the finger-print method originated
by Bertillon is of modern origin, then
Amazon Hays, wno was a Jackson
County Marshal in 1872, was quite a
few years ahead of his time and would
probably have flourished as a widely
known sleutn in mese oays 01 mys
terious crimes and escapes.
Haves was a strong believer in finger
print identification as is evidenced by
a street railway pass of which he was
the owner in 1872. The pass, which will
be an exhibit at the Westport Fair in
September, has firmly marked on the
upper right-hand corner a strong im
print of Hays' thumb. It was made
there by him and it was his wont when
riding upon the trams of the mule rail
way of that day to make a thumb print
on the window, thereby proving that
he was the only and original owner of
the pass.
A pass in those days was a conces
sion, as the round trip fare from Fif
teenth and Walnut streets to the West
port end of the line was 50 cents. It
is signed by ivenimian nonne, m inai
time president of the Westport & Kan
sas City Horse Railroad Company.

PEOPLE AND THE LAW
Helplessness of the Citizens of
Schenectady, X. Y., to Get Ice.
Exchange.
Is the law made for the people, or
do the people exist for the law?
There must be many people in
Schenectady, N. Y., these days who- are
pondering that question.
Ice, as you may know, is not only a
great comfort in hot weather, but a
necessity. Without it food is rendered
not only .unfit for consumption, but
often dangerous.
But ice costs money. Where there is
an ice monopoly It costs a great deal
of money.
Last Winter, when' it was cold, the
officials of the city of Schenectady con
ceived what they thought to be a bril
Hunt idea.v They knew that in hot
weather there are many poor people
who cannot afford ice. and they in
tended this Summer to give it away to
POLICE BY WHI
MAN
'the "poor Their thought ' was that
since they had been put in charge of
the community's welfare, it was quite
within the scope of their duties to
look out for the comfort and well-being
of those whose financial condition
made it impossible for them to look
out for themselves.
But the iceman was watching. He
didn't like the idea at all. It readily
suggested itself to him that if the city
gave away that much ice, it might
cut into his business. It might take
away some of the profits he expected
to get out of the necessity of the poor
people of Schenectady.
So the iceman bided his time, and
when the city officials were preparing
to distribute their ice where it would
do the most good, the iceman got out a
temporary injunction. This naitea tne
Ice distribution until the court could
pass on the case. The court has heard
the arguments, and it has made the
Injunction permanent.
Schenectady has 30,000 tons of ice on
its hands which it cannot use.
The poor people of Schenectady are
undergoing the hot weather without
ice, or are robbing their table for
money to buy ice. The city has plenty,
all they will need, but the court stands
on guard and won't let the sity relieve
the sufferings of its poor.
Probably, this is good law. It must
have been good law or the learned
court would not have granted the per
manent injunction. It would not have
made the city's Investment a total loss,
it would not have denied the poor this
precious boon of coolness during the
dog days, it would not have turned the
poor over to the mercies of the Iceman,
if it had not found law or precedent
or something to base its decision upon.
We haven't heard what the grounds
are on which the court held with the
iceman and against Schenectady and
Its people. Probably the city hadn t
any legal authority for going into the
ice business. Probably it is unconsti
tutional for a city to be merciful and
kind to the poor. Probably the sacred
tenets of the law would have been out
raged if the city of Schenectady hjd
been allowed to give 25 pounds of ice
to some tenement dweller's family, s t'.
fering in the slums. Probably there is
some hoary decision back in the days
of King John or Richard III whicn
stands in the way.
But there is the ice 30,000 tons of
It. There are the poor, going without
ice or impoverishing themselves to buy
it. And there stands the iceman, with
the court vigilantly guarding his in
terests. The ice can melt, the poor may go
iceiess, but the Iceman will be happy
and property rights will be vindicate!.
LONDON STREET ACCIDENTS
Last Year 410 People Killed by
Passing Vehicles.
Consul General John L. Griffiths.
The growing danger to those using
the streets of London owing to the
change in the character of the traffic
and the increased congestion is engag
ing serious attention. In 1911 the
number of people . killed by vehicles
n the streets was 410. The total in
1905 was 172; in 1906, 212; in 1907, 293;
in 1908. 344; in 1909. 306; and in 1910,
303. The fatalities in 1911 were due
to the following causes: Horse om
nibus. 1; horse tramcars. 1; horse
carts, etc., 120: motor omnibus, 107;
electric tramcars, 26; motor cabs, cars,
etc., 155.
In addition to fatal accidents 15,154
persons were injured: 136 of the acci
dents were due to horse omnibuses: 44
to horse tramcars; 6296 to horse carts,
etc.; 1947 to motor omnibuses; 2330 to
electric tramcars; and 6401 to motor
cabs, cars, etc.
As recently as nine years ago there
were only 13 motor omnibuses running
in London: now there are more than
2000 and the number is being increased
at the rate of about 30 each week. One
company alone expects to have over
4000 Buch vehicles running as soon as
they can be produced and licensed.
NeaTly 70,000 motor vehicles of all de
scriptions have been licensed by the
London County Council. The increase
in the number of electric tramcars has
been equally significant; there were 676
such cars in 1903, as against over 2500
at present, and there are 250 in the
course of construction.
The extent to which omnibuses have
added to London's death roll is shown
by the following figures: 1905, 241
omnibuses, 3 fatalities; 1906. 783 omni
buses, 25 fatalities: 1907, 1205 omni
buses, 35 accidents; 1908, 1133 omni
buses, 62 fatalities; 1909, 1180 omni
buses, 62 fatalities; 1910, 1200 omni
buses, 66 fatalities; 1911, 2000 omni
buses. 107 fatalities.
The total numoer of persons killed
in the streets of London in consequence
of the traffic during the seven years
from 1905 to 1911 amounted to 2041,
and of these deaths 350 were caused by
motor omnibuses, 311 by motor cabs,
cars or wagons, and 159 by tramcars,
while during the same period 104,851
persons were injured. In the five years
from 1905 to 1909, 550 of the deaths
occurred to children, 312 of whom were
under 7 years of age. During the past
eight years over 5000 horse-driven han
som cabs and 1600 four-wheeled cabs
have been removed from service, in
addition to 2000 horse omnibuses and
over 1000 horse tramcars.
Various suggestions have been made
with a view to reducing the number of
acidents. At certain large open
spaces where several converging lines
of trafTic meet, it is urged that there
should be underground subways for pe
destrians to enable them to cross to
any one of the corners of the radiating
thoroughfares. Such subways already
exist, two oi wnicu are in mc l-uj
proper, "and It is proposed that others
should be constructed at the chief
nolnts of danger. Comparatively few
people, however, make use of these sub
ways, owing to tne loss oi time anu
nrohahlv also to the exertion of de
scending and ascending the flights of
stairs. Were the approaches mace
wider and on gentle declines and in
clines they would no doubt be used to
a greater extent.

father Is a stone mason in the employ
of the Adams Contracting Company,
and who lives near the Jewish Ceme
tery beyond Fulton, suddenly bit both
the children, as well as the family cat
last Wednesday. Yesterday morning the
dog, which had been shut up In the
chicken-house of a neighbor, J. D. Mac
laren, died.
When the dog bit the children last
Wednesday, Dr. C. , S. White, of the
State Board of Health, decided not to
make the case known, but to await
developments. As a result of the facts
not even those who most strongly deny
the existence of rabies can say that
this was simply a case of a dog biting
children who had irritated it.
The dog was a mongrel pet. It had
been the constant companion and friend
of the boys, who are nine and five
years old. On Wednesday, without any
warning, it suddenly seized Howard, the
younger of the two, and bit him se
verely in the arm, inflicting a deep
flesh wound, and again in the ribs, on
the left side, tearing the flesh away
from the ribs.
The animal then bit the elder boy,
John, in the ball of the big toe, and
finally attacked the cat, seizing it by

Tenderfeet in the Country.
Christian Herald.
A settlement camp is usually a lively
place and in the boys' section at least
there is not much to suggest a home
for invalids. The Idea that charity
is being dispensed is strictly tabooed.
As a matter of fact most of those who
come pay their way and they feel at
liberty to have a good time. Just as if
they were at an ' ordinary resort,
though of course there ha to be rea
sonable limitation on the doings of the
young people. With beach parties,
camp fires, boating, fishing, there is al
ways something going on, and it is
surprising what a change two weeks
in the country will often make in the
city boy or girl. The tenement chil
dren are wise enough, and pprhaps too
wise about some ways of the world,
but many things that country boys and
girls are familiar with from babyhood
are new and strange to them. They
learn what a hornets' nest looks like
and that it is not necessary to have a
key to a tent as If it were a city flat,
and they find that neither bears nor
Indians are to be feared in the forests.
In the vicinity of the great cities, at
least, and their horizon is widened in
many ways. On the return of the
campers, whether they are children,
young working boys or girls or adults
who needed a vacation, their attach
ment to the settlement which provided
their pleasure is bound to be strength
ened and their interest redoubled.
