Arrangements for Y..M. C. A.
Religious Work Completed.
PROGRAMME MAPPED OUT
Large Number of Classes During
Fall and Winter Is Intention and
Department Is Considered
Much Stronger.
Following the :-eorganIzation of Its
membership department, announced
several days ago, the Portland Toung
Men's Christian Association yesterday
completed arrangements for Its re
ligious work staff for the coming sea
son. By the plan adopted, three men
will give their entire time to this
work. They are: R. K. Perkins, Law
rence Todnam and It. E. Randall.
Mr. Perkins, who remains as re
ligious work director, has been with
the r. M. C. A. several years and has
built up a strong department. Last
Spring he was offered the position of
general secretary of the Tacoma x.
M. C. A., but declined, as he consid
ered there is a field for larger work
In his own department in Portland.
He now is making out an ambitious
Drosrramme for religious activity at
the association this Fall and Winter.
Mr Randall is an addition to the
executive staff of the association. He
comes to Portland from Ifidmunton,
Canada where he has had much ex
perience In religious work, although
not in the T. M. C. A. He Is a grad
uate of Alberta College. Two years
ago he visited Portland and was so
pleased , with the city tnat ne deter
mined to return here and live as soon
as a favorable opportunity presented.
itself. Mr. . Randall will hava charge
of the Sunday religious meetings and
other similar gatherings, both within
and without the association building.
Mr. Todnam has been with the asso
ciation one year, being employed as of
fice secretary. He will have dlrec
tlon of the social activities, assuming
the work that has been done by S. W.
Harris, who now becomes affiliated
with the membership department. Mr.
Todnam came to Portland from Mitch
ell, S. D., where he graduated from
Dakota Wesleyan University, subse
quently representing- it as field .agent.
With the appointment of this staff,
the secretaries feel that the religious
work department is stronger.

DEATH RATE LOW
Sanitation Keynote of Marcel
lus Administration.
NO EFFORT TO BE SPARED
"Portland the Health City" Slogan
Adopted by Official, Who Says
Location, Climate, Water and
Topography Are Ideal.
Portland, the Health City! This Is
the slogan adopted by City Health Of
ficer Marcellus as the keynote of his
administration over the city health de
partment. The slogan will be displayed
it the coming milk exhibit and other
efforts will be made to get the slogan
before the world as strongly as is tho
name "The Rose City," which has been
won by Portland.
At present Dr. Marcellus says Port
land's death rate is second lowest of
all cities in the United States. He ex
pects to make Its death rate the low
est within the next four years, declar
ing that such a task will not be diffi
cult. "Portland should be the healthiest
city in the United States," says Dr.
Marcellus." Its location, topography,
climate and water supply make this
easily possible. Already this city has
outstripped all other cities of its class.
With more rigid observance of the
rules of sanitation Portland should
stand out far above all others.
"Sanitation is the answer," says. Dr.
Marcellus. "Portland s sanitary condi
tions can be improved, should be im
proved and must be improved. To this
end the City Health Department so
licits co-operation of all citizens. Ev
eryone should join in the campaign of
cleanliness which means a lower deatn
rate. Filth Is more dangerous than
thugs and murderers in our midst. It
kills more people in the world than all
the wars combined. Therefore, the
man who harbors filth is a public men
ace, tho more so if he is a caterer to
public wants.
"Private premises, as welUas public
places, should be kept faultlessly clean.
In no other way may we escape the
grave consequences of a serious epi
demic one day. Not that Portland Is
by any means a dirty city, nor that It
has failed to observe careful sanitary
measures. But the sanitation . of the
city has not kept fully apace of its
growth and this must oe reiueujeu
as little delay as possible, to which
end an increase in number and effici
ency of the sanitary corps is required.
"Portland citizens are showing an
earnest response to the call tor a
greater cleanliness. But the situation
is a big one and must, in the course
of things, be kept under the closest
surveillance. Where unsanitary condi
tions are found they will be pointed
out to those responsible, livery as
sistance possible will be extended by
my department In correcting the evil.
Where this pleasant method does not
suffice such measures will be taken as
are found necessary.
"When a sanitary inspector calls give
him a willing and sympathetic ear."
THEATER MAN HAS RECORD
Stage Manager on Cars First Cross
in? Local Willamette Span.
Probably the only man in- Portland
who can lay claim to having ridden on
the first train or car that crossed every
bridge spanning the Willamette River
is Tom A. Huffaker, stage manager of
the Orpheum Theater. Mr. iiuiraker
came from Kansas in 18SS and chanced
to be on the first train that crossed
the old Steel bridge. The next bridge
built was the Morrison, and the first
car to cross was a Lower Albina car,
on which Mr. Huffaker was a pas
senger. Ho then rode on the first car
crossing the Jlaeison Driage. ai msi
it was mere-chance, but he became in
terested in keeping his record in cross
ing the Burnside, Hawthorne and new
Harriman bridges.
Yesterday morning Mr. Huffaker was
at the Piedmont barn in time to catch
a St. Johns car, the first to cross the
new Broadway span on the regular
runs. Mr. Huffaker was also a pas
senger on the first car to be run over
the first trolley line in Portland, the
Fulton Park line.
CARTER MUST STAND TRIAL
Court Refuses to Accept Plea of
Guilty on Modified Charge.
"If this man is guilty of the crime

will be put behind penitentiary bars,
where he can do no harm to small
girls,'" said Circuit Judge McGinn yes.

Jones conferred with him relative to
accepting a plea or guilty from Ed
ward Carter, under Indictment on a
harse of contributing to the delin
quency of a 11-year-old girl.
"It is not lor counsel or for the Dis
trict Attorney's office, either, to say
whether I shall accept a plea of guilty
to a lesser crime than that charged
and impose a lesser punishment than
would be the case if conviction was
