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.

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

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

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.

CLUBS AND LODGES
MAY PAT MORE TAX
Assessor Will Ask Ruling on
What Property Should
Be Exempt.
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.
EDWARD CARTER INDICTED

day for an alleged statutory offense
against a girl 11 years of age. Other

STATEMENT IS MADE
BY BUSINESS WOMAN
Telling of Benefits She Received From
Plant Juice, the Vegetable
Remedy.
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. For sale by the Owl Drug Company.
