THE MORNING OREGONIAN, MONDAY. AUGUST 84, 1914. E. T. MISCHE QUITS; FRICTION ASSIGNED Park Superintenitent Reported Out of Sympathy With Com missioner Brewster. JAMES CONVILL SUCCEEDS Afttr Return From Eastern Trip Re- blgning Official Will Complete Olmstead Plans for City System Under Contract. Although it has been generally un derstood that E. T. Mlsche, who has been superintendent of Portland's parks, playgrounds and boulevards since 1908, is away on a leave or ao aence, it became known Saturday that because of friction between him elf and Citv Commissioner Brewster, he has severed his connection with the pltt- rvice. While his retirement nas not been announced, it is known that he has tendered his resignation to take effect when he returns from an east ern trip on which he left early this month. He has been succeeded by James Convill, who has served as As sistant Park Superintendent for about a year. - While Mr. Mlsche will give up his position and will no longer be head of the park department. It is understood he will enter into a contract with the city whereby he will attend to the work of completing the Olmstead plans for a park system, for which work he was brought to Portland in 1908 by the Park Board under ex-Mayor Lane. His work along this line will consist of the drafting of plans and designs. He will have no supervision over the park department and will be entirely out of the city service. It is understood he will be paid $150 a month for the preparation of the plans. He will es tablish an office and devote only suf ficient time to the city to carry out the terms of his contract. Trouble Rumors Current. It is not -known definitely what the direct cause of his- quitting the city service was, but it has been understood for some time that there has been fric tion between him and Commissioner Brewster, who has charge of the park bureau. This friction, it is said, has been noted for several months past. One cause of trouble was the selec tion of a leader for the Portland Park band. Mr. Mlsche, it is said, stood out for the appointment of W. E. McElroy, who was director of the band last year. Commissioner Brewster, it is said, dis regarded Mr. Mische's wishes in this case and appointed Charles L. Brown to the position. It is said also that upon several occasions Mr. Brewster has complained of Mr. Mische's lack of in itiative in handling the construction part of the work. It Is said also, but not confirmed, that Mr. Brewster has received information to the effect that Mr. Mlsche was a supporter of the re call movement against him. Mr. Mlsche has a national reputation as a landscape engineer, botanist, flori culturist and arboriculturist. He was graduated from several Eastern col leges in these subjects and has had wide experience with some of the most distinguished men engaged In this work. Among those with whom he has worked are the Olmstead Brothers, who originated the famous Olmstead system of parks and play grounds. In 1908 the Park Board adopted this plan of parking for Portland and began looking for men capable of carrying it out. Mr. Mische having been engaged by the Olmstead Brothers and under standing their work was recommended and was engaged by the Park Board. He came here from Madison, Wis., and took charge of the park system. Since then he has had complete charge of designing and laying out the parks and playgrounds and attending to the con struction work. He supervised the ex penditure of the issue of 11, 000, 000 in park bonds. Mr. Covill Will Succeed. The latter ' part of last month Mr. Mishe announced that he was going on a trip to New York. Boston and other cities to attend conventions of park superintendents and to visit In Boston, w here he received his education. He is still out of the city. It Is said that while his resignation has not been sub mitted in writing. It has been tendered to Commissioner Brewster and accept ed. Mr. Mische will give up his residence at Washington Park and will give up tfhe automobile furnished him by the city. The residence and the ..utomoblle will be turned over to Mr. Covill, whose appointment although temporary at present, will be made permanent. It is understood, when Mr. Mische returns. Mr. Covill is a graduate of the Uni versity of Utah and has been in Port land for about four years. After leav ing school he was engaged in engineer ing work. He entered the city service as an engineer In the park department, and was made assistant park superin tendent by Commissioner Brewster about a year ago. It is understood he will receive an increase of salary, his salary at present being 1105 a month. Mr. Mische's salary was J215 a month. TOMMY ATKINS ON HONOR Soldier Writes Lord Kitchener's Advice Is Heeded. LONDON, Aug. 23. While the move ments of the British soldiers on the Continent are enveloped in secrecy, the papers publish extracts from let ters written by some of them at the front, which throw an Interesting side light' on the situation. For instance, one writes:, . "The Germans seem to have put their worst troops on the firing line in Bel glum, under the impression that any thing' was good enough to beat the Belgians." A private writes: "Our great trouble is to get away from the French villagers who offer us wine. After what Kitchener said most of us are strict teetotallers and will remain so until the war Is over." Another private says: "German prisoners were astonished to see our uniforms. They never im agined that we had crossed." A corporal writes: "German spies are plentiful. They come in all disguises. One was a traveling monk, another a commercial traveler, a third wanted to be attached to our force as a camp follower. They were quickly dealt with by the French." SCHOOLS TO BE UNIFORM Chinese Authorities Change Tactics in Classes of Grades. SHANGHAI. Aug. 20. The China continuation committee, representing practically all of the Protestant mis sion work in China, recently came to a decision at a meeting here that ele mentary education should receive a larger proportion of the missionary ef fort throughout China in the future. The advisory council of the Educa tional Association has formulated plans for carrying out the programme, which Includes uniform courses of study in mission schools and uniform examinations, normal training of teachers for elementary schools, ade quate elementary school buildings, the making of the school a center of social and civic life and the standardization of buildings, equipment and courses of study by a board of control. This advance has had its greatest stlmulous through the results achieved by the remarkably efficient American school system in the Philippines, which Professor Paul Monroe, the authority on pedagogy of Columbia University, after a visit to the Philippines, de clared to be the best in the world In the light of the adaptation to the needs of the people whom It served. In the Philippine Islands elementary education has absorbed most of the at tention of the Bureau of Education. In the school year 1913-1914 . there were 440,050 in the flrst four grades. 31,529 in the next four. 6687 in the high and normal training schools and 750 in the university located In Manila altogeth er a well-balanced pyramidal system of instruction with an adequate and ex tensive foundation in the elementary schools. In China hitherto the work in the higher schools has tended to overshad ow that in the elementary schools. The JETTY NOW LONELY United States Engineers Find Work No Longer Hums. CONGRESS' DELAY IS CAUSE Inspectors Taken to Mouth of Co lumbia See Quick Effect of Blocked River and Harbor Bill. Teredo Holds Sway. Members of the Board of United States Engineers for river and harbor work yesterday viewed proof of the immediate effect in the Northwest of the probable failure of Congress to grant the appropriation for the im provement at the mouth of the Colum bia River, embodied in the rivers and PORTLAND PARK SUPERINTENDENT, WHO RESIGNS, AND HIS SUCCESSOR.

WHEAT IS AT $1 FLOltt PRICES LIKELY TO RISE IN DAY OR TWO. Demand for Grain Not Large But Lim ited Offerings Cause Advance Cof fee and Sugar Unchanged. The inwillingness of farmers in the Northwest to sell wheat has at last put the market up to the $1 mark. Since the beginning of the week blue- stem prices have been advancing steadily, having gained about 6 cents a bushel in that time. With export trade restricted, the demand for wheat is not heavy, yet it has Deen large enoueh. in view of the small supply offered, to put prices up to the highest point of tile season. Higher wheat, of course, means higher flour, so consumers can look for an advance in flour prices in the next day or two. The wholesale price of flour yesterday was 84.80 a barrel. The coming week probably will see a wholesale quotation of $5 or more. Pome of the millers early last ween advanced their flour price 50 cents a barrel, but the Portland Flouring Mills Company declined to raise its quota tion hellevine an advance was not justified. The higher level to which wheat has climbed in tne meantime, however, will make the advance a gen eral one. There was no change in the sugar situation yesterday. Jobbers would not venture an opinion as to what may happen in the next few days. The coffee market was also un changed. New York coffee prices were higher, so there is no likelihood of ait early decline in this commodity. AUTO SMASHES WINDOW Mrs. J. D.

CITY'S ENTRYJNEWS BRIEF Berlin Gets Laconic Message of Sev en Words of Announcement. BERLIN, via Copenhagen and Lon don, Aug. 23. A laconic dispatch of seven words announcing the entry of the Germans into Brussels is the only news regarding the occupation of the Belgian city yet published here. The military authorities are contenting themselves with a brevity of announce ment surpassing that said to have been emDloved by the late Field Marshal Von Moltke. The Berlin newspapers express ad miration for the swiftness of the Ger man advance, but make no comment on the German tactics.

When the engineers, ciceroned by Colonel McKlnstry and members of the Port of Portland Commission, went to inspect the north Jetty, at the mouth of the river, and crossed from Astoria to Fort Canby In the launch Mendell, they found not a soul waiting at the dock, where, less than two weeks ago. 300 men had been busy and 5000 tons of rock a day were being unloaded from the barges and carried out onto the Jetty. One of the crew of the launch had to clamber ashore to make fast, for there was no one there to take the line and the party of Government en gineers walked across the plank onto a pier practically deserted. Flatcar Is Conveyance. Hundreds of cars and trucks were piled about and the big derricks and cranes stood idle. After the party landed an engine came puffing down to meet them with an improvised observation car on a "flat." and they went up to the almost forsaken camp and empty shops, where lunch had been prepared for them. Then they boarded their little train again' and went to the end of the long, bony, deserted trestle that nosed into the Pacific Ocean. They looked over the work that had been accomplished before the task was obliged to be shut down, pending further appropriations from the Government for its comple tion. It would have been difficult for a person visiting- the place for the first time to imagine that, up to August 11, this spidery stretch of trestle had been alive with snorting trains rumbling back and forth and feeding their daily 5000 tons of rock into the ocean to drive further and further out the Jetty which is expected eventually to solve the major part of the problem of open ing the mouth of the Columbia. The continuance of the work after August 11 was dependent upon the passage of the rivers and harbors ap propriation by Congress, and this is held up in the filibuster. Colonel McKlnstry said yesterday that had the continuance of the work been possible it is probable that the force could have been kept on the job for several months longer before the opening of the Winter season. The Jetty could have been pushed a mile further and could have been strength ened throughout to a much greater de gree than it has reached at present. The present rock work is, of course, of permanency on which to continue the construction when the appropria tion is forthcoming, but in the mean time, as one of the members of the party remarked, "the teredo and the ocean will be at work all the year round," and the result is likely to be destructive to the trestle that has been erected thus far. After the inspection of the. jetty work, the members of the engineer's party, with the members of the Port of Portland Commission and the Port of Astoria Commission, who accompa nied them to the jetty, paid a short visit to Fort Stevens before going back to Astoria. There they were enter tained at dinner under the auspices of the Astoria committee before their re turn to Portland. Fifteen In Party. Members of the Board of Engineers are: Colonels W. M. Black and F. V. Abbott, of New York; L. H. Beach, of Baltimore; H. C. Newcomer, Harry Tay-' lor and A. C. Weber, of Washington, D. C. Accompanying them from Port land were Colonel McKlnstry and Ger ald Bagnall, of the corps of U. S. en gineers, stationed in this district. From Portland were: J. N. Teal, Marcus Talbot, D. C. O'Reilly, and from Asto ria, G. B. McLeod. G. Wingate, C. H. Colender, of the Port of Astoria, and O. W. Taylor, of the Astoria reception committee for the visitors. With the exception of Colonels Black and Beach, other members of the vis iting party of engineers have been in the Northwest previously and have vis ited the projects at the mouth of the Columbia. Colonel Taylor formerly was stationed here for a number of years. The present tour of the board is for the purpose of making a general sur vey of the river and harbor projects of the West. The recommendations as to the con tinuance of the work on the north jetty are covered In the rivers and harbors bill now pending and the visit of the engineers yesterday will have no im mediate bearing on that subject. They will go today to the Celilo proj ect, returning to Portland this even ing. They will leave tomorrow for Grays Harbor and the Sound, where they will pass a short time before re turning to the East. Before coming to Portland they visited San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Eureka and Crescent City. They left Washington on the tour early this month. Church Interdict Target.. CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 17. There are signs that a large proportion of the Ottoman Greeks are weary of the f V. q natrl.rpyiint inter- niaiiutii.iii'.t . L " diet whereby Greek schools and churches are closed throughout the Turkish empire. The measure seems to have been adopted against the wishes of the patriarch and In accordance with the desire of the majority of the Holy Synod. If it has embarrassed and an noyed the Porte, it has in nowise bene fited the Ottoman Greek laity and in nowise prevented the expulsion or emi gration of over 100,000 Greeks from Anatolia. The further maintenance of the interdict Is unlikely to serve any useful purpose, and is indeed calculated to strengthen the impression that the majority of the Holy Synod are influ enced rather by sympathy with the po litical aspirations of the Hellenic ex tremists than by a desire for the wel fare of the Orthodox Church in Tur key or for the material and moral well being of their sorely-tried flock. At a moment, too, when, despite the violent and melodramatic utterances of Enver Bey and other Ottoman politi cians, moderate statesmen, such as Talaat Bey, are undoubtedly working for an understanding with Greece, it would surely be wiser to withdraw the measure, which would otherwise con tribute to the continuance of Greco Turkish tension.

Missiles From Above Throw Light on Teuton's Foes and Rout Almost Results, Says Correspondent. LONDON, Aug. 23, 3:31 A. M. Writ ing of the lighting around Louvain and Aerschot, which the Belgian official report says was the severest of all the fighting during the recent German ad vances, the Daily Mail's Ostend cor respondent says: "After the Germans had occupied Tlrlemont they turned longing eyes on Louvain, which they attacked cleverly. Fighting along the line between Tlrle mont and Louvain had almost ceased and the Belgians, perhaps, had begun to feel that the battle was easing up when, late at night, between 11 and 12 o'clock, the Germans succeeded in sur prising them. "Suddenly aeroplanes descended with great hardihood to a height of not more than 200 yards, whence they flung amidst the Belgians' position metallic objects described as plaques which, on contact with the ground, burst into flames. In the vicinity of these flames the artillery directed its fire, while at the same time aeroplanes illuminated the ranks of the Belgians. "The Belgians were taken completely by surprise. A regiment of lancers suf fered greatly and nearly a rout fol lowed, the troops retiring in disorder with their horses rearing. "Pillaging has started on the field. Predatory camp followers have made their appearance. Almost all of the German officers carry large amounts of money with them." NNES ARRANGES FIGHT MAN ACCUSED OF DOUBLE MURDER RELIES ON TEXAS FLAW, Prisoner Plans to Show Technical Weakness In Extradition Action. Ugly Temper Revealed. EUGENE, Or., Aug. 23. (Special.) Technical weakness in the fight for extradition to be waged by Texas officials here probably Monday is the hope on which Victor E. lnnes expects to delay his removal to Texas. With the employment of C. M. Foster, a Eu gene attorney, as special counsel, lnnes began Saturday to set the stage for a legal battle. John McCourt, his attor ney in Portland, is to arrive in Eugene tomorrow to confer with the prisoner over extradition proceedings. Habeas corpus proceedings may be brought by lnnes alleging improper re quisition formalities. lnnes still refuses to speak for publi cation. He talks readily upon any sub ject other than that concerning his arrest and the murder charge lodged against him and Mrs. lnnes. He has exhibited an unruly temper behind his smooth manners. The officers have noticed this in his conversations over the telephone. When he misunderstood reference to his home on the Mc Kenzle today he exclaimed angrily: "You'll get a shot of lead in the back if you go hanging about there."

LIVELY TIMES ARE RULE Addlfcoii Bennett Tcllt, of Woll-Bal-lasted Koad'bed and BeautlTul Trip on Siuslaw Travelers Now at Florence After Gay l)a. BY ADDISON BENNETT. FLORENCE, Or.. Aug. 23. (Special.) The Coos Bay party that loft Port land over the Willamette-Pacific at 1:36 o'clock this morning arrived here at 7 o'clock. The party arrived at Eu gene on time, assembled at the Osborn Hotel for breakfast at 8 o'clock and boarded the train on the Willamette Pacific at 8:30. We had a fine trip to the end of the portion of the road now in operation at Richardson for about ir. miles. There we had a splendid din ner after which we were taken about seven miles further on the train. Then we took a wagon that was waiting to come to Mapleton, the head of navi gation of the Sluslaw River. There the party tarried for about an hour, after which we took the Willamette Pacific launch Comet and arrived here as stated. The entire trip has been a delight ful one. Every moment of it has been ly the road traveled by wagon was enjoyed to the full. The day was Ideal and although the sun shone brllllant largely shaded and the air was Just right for comfort. The trip over the railroad was Indeed a revelation to most of the party. The road Is so well constructed and ballastod that we rolled along as though wr were on an otd-seasoned roadbed. The river trip was indeed superb. Sluslaw Is a beau tiful stream, the scenery along Its shore Is grand, every turn looming aa more beautiful than the one previous. Just what the programme will be here tonight I do not know, but I do know the whole party excepting The Oregonlan representative had been taken out to the beach end I think 1 can smell crabs and clama baking. 1 will leave here tomorrow via the lake route for Gardiner. We are in charge of C. B. Marsh, the right-of-way man of the Willamette-Pacific. He met us at Eugene and under hie patrol we are sure to have a successful trip every bit of the way.
