12 THE MORNINt OKEGONIAy. THUKSDAY, JULY 10," 1913. RAILROAD HEADS Of! TRAIL' OF GQNGDDN Citizenship Conference Is De nounced as "Frame Up" to "Sting" Portland. SAN FRANCISCO IS WARNED Other Cities TTrged to Steer Clear of Promoter TraTCling Under Cloak of Christianity Speakers Were Deceived. Railroad officials in Portland and in other parts of the country have started on the trail of Clement H. Congdon, promoter of tho recent "World's Chris tian Citizenship Conference," held in Portland and Intend to prevent him from engaging in a similar enterprise In San Francisco or In any other city In 1915. Advice has teen sent to officials of the various roads in San Francisco and to officials of the Panama-Pacific Ex position that the recent Portland con ference was a disappointment in at tendance and that there was a gross misrepresentation as to the number of speakers brought here from foreign countries. While the conference was in progress last week Congdon declared that a score of cities In the country were bid ding for the 1915 meeting, and men tioned, among others, Boston, Cleve land, Louisville and Toronto. At the same time he displayed a telegram which, h said, came from of ficials of the Panama-Pacific Exposi tion, who sought to have the confer ence held in San Francisco during the exposition. Con(cdona ' Claims False. Inquiry in the last few days reveals that no one in either Cleveland, Bos ton, Louisville or Toronto ever asked for the conference. The supposition is that Congdon used the names of theae cities for the purpose of getting San Francisco to "bite." No doubt San Francisco did bid for the meeting after the proposal was made to that city, for exposition officials are after every convention they can get in San Fran cisco in the year of the world's fair. But unless the San Francisco people act against the advice of friends In Portland they will steer clear of Cong don and his associates. Investigation in the last few days has revealed how several eminent speakers from foreign countries were Induced to come to Portland. The fact that they came in good faith, never doubting" the sincerity of Congdon nor the worthy character of the meeting, never has been disputed. They were imposed upon by Congdon, ad were the people of Portland. Few, if any, of these foreign speakers lost any time by coming to Portland. Most of them were on speaking tours in the United States. Some of them were on Chautauqua circuits. It was little trouble for Congdon to borrow them from the Chautauqua bureaus. The expense was slight. The clergy men traveled on railroad passes and the residents of Portland gladly offered hospitality to all speakers. Wrong Kime Given Meeting. The term "world's" conference was a deliberate misnomer. Aside from the speakers there was not a single dele gate from outside the United States and Canada in attendance. Congdon's wild assertions that 700 delegates would come from England caused sev eral residents of Portland having rela tives in that country to make Inquiries by mail regarding those who were com ing. Letters sent to the leading re ligious papers In London brought in formation that the editors knew noth ing of the conference. That was fully six months ago at the time when Congdon said a staff of speakers was parading up and. down . the British Isles, heralding the name and fame of Portland and instructing the shiploads of eager delegates how to get here so that they might have a hand in reforming the world and every body in it. It was about this time that a num-i ber of Portland, business men, news paper men and several clergymen started to suspect that all was not reg ular about Congdon and his methods. "Reform Association" Explained. At the time the meeting was held several Portland persons asked offi cals of the "National Reform Associa tion," the reputed father of the meet ing, why they had employed Congdon. They said they needed someone to handle the business end of the meeting and that Congdon appeared better able than anyone else available to do this work. It was reported here yesterday that Congdon had closed his contract with the local committee for a $15,000 pub licity fund before officials of the "Na tional Reform Association" knew that the meeting was to be held here. Congdon. It appears, acted upon his own responsibility in hanging this conference to Portland. He tried every other city on the Coast, but none of them would "fall" for It. So far as known the "National Reform Associa tion" whatever that is wasn't par ticularly anxious to hold a meeting Portland wasn't looking for it. Not un til Congdon came here was the idea ever suggested. The whole 1913 convention was framed up," developed and perpe trated. It appears, for the mere and sole purpose of giving Congdon and a few of his assistants male and female some nice fat Jobs and the distribu tion of $15.000 of Portland money. $800,000 MORTGAGE FILED Fenn Timber Company May Build Sawmill in Lane County.

BRIDGE WORK IS RUSHED BTJRXSIDE SPAN 'SHOULD OPEN IS 20 DAYS, SAYS REPORT. Preliminary Organization of Im provement Association Com pleted1 on Iast Side. Preliminary organization of the East Burnside District Improvement Asso ciation was formed last night at a well-attended meeting of business men and citizens at 385 East Burnside. At this meeting the committee, consisting of Daniel Kern, J. R. widmer and H. H. Newhall, appointed at a former meeting, to investigate the Burnside bridge, sub.mltted the following report: The committee met on the bridge with County Commissioner Holman and Super intendent Murname, Monday, and went over the work being done and reporta as follows: First Draw span. While there waa con siderable delay in getting the work started, it is now well in hand and should be com pleted so the draw can be swung into place in about 20 days or less. Second East approach. We found the work not progressing as fast as It should. After conferring with Superintendent Mur name and Commissioner Holman, they agreed to put another pile driver and crew at work. This driver should be at work Thursday morning: and this work should be finished as soon as the work on the draw span. The bridge should be open to travel In 20 days at the outside. In conversation with super-. Intendent Murname yesterday, he was un der the impression that he could cut down this time. We received every courtesy from Commissioner Holman and Superintendent Murname. Third Since our last meeting one week ago, another crew has been put to work on the draw span, making" 24 hours a day., of continuous work. The committee wasvcont!nued until the bridge is opened for pedestrians. J. J. Oeder, H. T. Drennen, E. R. Ge linskey and L. H. Wells were appointed a committee on permanent organiza tion. L. H. Wells was made temporary chairman and W. E. Reed temporary ecretary. It was decided to hold a business men's luncheon next Wednes day at 12:45. E. R. Gelinskey was ap pointed "steering" committee. The sec retary was instructed to send special invitations to Commissioner W. H. Daly, H. A. Calef, president East Side Business Men's Club, and William H. Mall, of the Portland Realty Associa tion, to be the guests of the associa tion. The meeting adjourned to meet next Wednesday night to perfect organization.- " DEMURRAGE RATES SET PENALTY TO OREGON SHIP PERS FIXED AT $2 A DAY. Railroads, on Failure to Furnish Cars as Specified, Will Pay $2 Daily Under Xew Ruling. SALEM, Or., July 9. (Special.) Rules governing demurrage and recip rocal demurrage issued by the State Railway Commission today fix the charge to shippers for holding cars overtime at $2 a day and to railroads for failure to furnish cars as specified t $2 a day. Under the old rules the shippers paid $2 a day and the rail roads recently asked that they be com pelled to pay 3 a day, which. It was declared, would prevent a shortage of cars during the busy seasons. The rules, which will become effec tive September 1, with slight amend ments, are identical with the National car demurrage rules, recommended by the Interstate Commerce Commission. Railroads which object to the regula tions may make complaint to the Com mission within 20 days. A proposition advanced by several railroads that shippers should give bond when ordering cars, declaring that many orders were canceled, was not allowed by the Commission. A shipper who applies for cars and does not use them will be charged $2 a day foreach car with no free time. If a railroad, after prescribing a rea sonable time for shipping freight, does not fulfill its agreement, it must pay to consignee $2 a day for each car de layed, la addition to actual damages. ANGRY CHINAMAN FIRES MAX WHO RESENTS SLAP TO CHILD SHOT IN LEG. Little Girl Mimics Oriental Who In Turn Is Badly Beaten When He Strikes Lassie. ONTARIO. Or., July 9. (Special.) John Burnhuft. a transient, was brought to the hospital here from Vale today suffering from a. bad gunshot wound in the right thigh, inflicted by Fred Hoffman, a Chinaman of Vale. About noon Gladys Catterbuck, aged 10 years, with a little playmate, went Into one of the Vale restaurants to try to sell a little doll that she was carry ing, and to her chatter Hoffman, the Chinaman, who was there, commenced a lingo in Chinese talk, and the little girl attempted to mimic him and called him a "chink." This angered the Chinaman, who slapped her face. Burnhuff, who was also in the restaurant, grabbed the Chinaman and gave him a severe kick ing, putting him out in the street. The latter slipped through a saloon around to his room and secured his re volver, returned an commenced to Ore on Burnhuff, who was then standing in the doorway. The first shot lodged in his thigh. He ran for the rear door, and as he was going thruogh a second shot was fired, which lodged in the door frame. The Chinaman is in Jail. Eugene Bank Surplus Gains. EUGENE, Or., July 9. (Special.)

STATE LAW SPARES SOME Organizations Under Classification of Literary, Scientific, Educa tional or Benevolent Asso ciations May Escape. To give Attorney-General Crawford or District Attorney Evans an oppor tunity to decide- whether they should be assessed, and pay taxes County As sessor Reed has called on heads of several clubs, fraternal orders and similar organizations in the citv to rro duce copies of charters and legal briefs in support of their contention that they should not be assessed. Mr. Reed saya he will pass this data up to either air. crawiord or Mr. Evans for an opinion in each case and that he will be guided by such opinions. Heretofore these organizations, in cluding the B. P. O. Elks, Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club, Portland Heights Club, Mount Scott, Athletic Club, Knights of Columbus Club, Irv ington Club, Rose City Park Club and Columbus Club, have escaped assessment because they claimed to come under the head of literary, scientific, educa tional or benevolent associations, which are exempt under state law. Assessor Reed has called upon these organiza tions to show why they are entitled to such exemptions. Former Assessors Lenient. It was the policy of B. D. Slgler, who preceded Mr. Reed In office, and of Mr. Slgler's predecessors, to exempt both the real and personal property of organizations such as those named when the property was used exclusively for the purposes of the organizatlcV In cases where it has been the custom to rent portions of the buildings, as the Elks, Masons, Portland Turn Ve rein. Oddfellows and others do, it has been the custom to assess the real estate and buildings at three-fifths of what would be assessed If owned by a private individual, and to exempt per sonal property. The Arlington Club has been paying taxes on- the basis of a full assess ment. The Concordia' Club has been paying on a three-fifths basis, but vol untarily consented to a full valuation this year. The Portland Commercial Club had paid on its realty and build ing, but was exempted by the Board of Equalization- from paying on personal property on the plea that it conducts at great expense a publicity bureau, which is of benefit not only to the City of Portland and the County of Mult nomah but to the state at large. Many of the organizations which have escaped payment of taxes are In corporated under a state law providing for the forming of literary, charitable, benevolent, religious and scientific as sociations. Reed Plans Uouiccleanlng. Mr. Reed's purpose is to have a sort of housecleanlng to weed out those which are not genuinely entitled to exemption. It has developed that some organizations are not paying taxes on property which is not in actual use for club or organization purposes, but these Instances are rare. The Portland Row ing Club, for instance, is not paying on several lots owned in Kern Park. - Multnomah Club athletic field, con sisting of several acres, is one of the most valuable pieces of property ex empted. Mr. Reed's attention was called to this by an inquisitive taxpayer who said that for about three years there had been a sign up offering to sell or lease a portion of this tract. He wanted to know why It wasn't taxed when not in actual use for club purposes. On behalf of the Irvington Club a letter has been written to Mr. Reed by William F. Woodward, president. In which attention is called to the fact that the club maintains athletic In structions in various forms, a kinder garten and playgrounds for children. The playgrounds are opo every day and all children are admitted without charge. Mr. Woodward argues that this institution is primarily an edu cational factor in our civic life." SWEET PEA SHOW ENDS CROWDS VISIT DISPLAY THROUGHOUT LAST DAY. Prize Winners Provide Fresh Bou quets and Blooms Will Go to . Hospital Patients. With crowds of people visiting the display throughout the day the annual sweet pea show under the auspices of the Sweet Pea Society came to a close last evening. Many of the prize winners and others brought fresh bouquets with them in the evening and the display at the closing was almost as brilliant as it had been in the beginning. The show this year Indicates some Important new features in the trend of sweet pea culture in this vicinity. There were this year no entries in the grandlnora class, the Spencer va rieties .having assumed full sway .In the favor of the sweet pea growers. Another feature was the pretty trellis displays of sweet peas, entered by Peter Vragnizan. A special prize was awarded him for this display. This form of display is a favorite with English fanciers. Ralph Routledge, who managed the show, says he be lieves this feature will be one of great Importance In shows of coming years. Another thing noticeable in the show was the greater tendency of the florists of the city to participate. The majority of the sweet peas ex hibited will be sent out in automobiles today for distribution among the pa tients in the hospitals of the city.

The following testimonial Is from Mrs. Alma Holm, who resides at '367 Taylor street. In this city. Mrs. Holm, has been in business many years, hav ing conducted a fashionable laundry in New York and later in Boston. In com menting on Plant Juice, she said: "Since September, 1912, I have suf fered dreadfully with nervous debility and stomach trouble. Kverythlng I ats seemed to disagree wth me, no matter how careful I was. I had tried many things before trying Plant Juice. When I read of the many people who were be ing helped by it I thought I would try it also, and the relief I have had by its use has been simply wonderful. I am feeling better than I have for years, and was able to resumo work last week." If we printed all the testimonials we have received from people who have used Plant Juice and been benefited by it we would have to take up an en-, tire edition of one of the great papers in this city. If Plant Juice did not live up to its promises no such letters of praise would come to us. If you feel in need of a Spring tonic try Plant Juice. If you have no appetite, tire easllj-, feel weak, have no ambition or energy, sleep poorly, wake up tired and grouchy with bad taste, coated tongue, foul breath and general all round run-down feeling, try Plant Juice.
