REQUIEM MASS IS T, - SAID FOR PIUS X SCENES ATTENDING MEMORIAL SERVICES HELD IN PORTLAND IN HONOR OF LATE POPE PIUS X. More Than 2000 Persons, In cluding Mayor and City Of ficials, at Services. TRIBUTE PAID IN SERMON Great Heart of Representative of Prince of Peace Burst AVlth Grief Because of War, 'Says Father O'Hara. "He wu the representative of the Prince of Peace on earth, and his great heart burst with grief when peace fled and nations warred. There exists to day a universal Borrow, bounded only hv the limits that circumscribe the whole world In which we live, ceasing only at the golden gates, where that which Is for us a motive of deep sor row is, we believe and hope, the sub ject of a mighty Joy." This tribute to Pope Plus X was paid by Father Edwin V. O'Hara yes terday morning In the sermon follow ing the pontifical requiem mass held at St Mary's Cathedral in commemora tion of the late head of the Catholic Church. More than 2000 persons. Including the Mayor and city officials, were present. Every seat was occupied and many stood In the rear of the Cathedral throughout the mass, which was one of the most Impressive of the Catholic rituals. Symbolical Catafalque Erected. Somber black was draped over altar and sacred effigies In the Cathedral and crepo was wound about the pillars. In mute testimony to the sadness of the occasion. The dark festoons covered similar lengths of yellow, the papal color. Symbolical of the bier ot the Pope In the Vatican chapel was a catafalque erected In the sanctuary. The pontifical requiem mass was conducted by Archbishop Christie. The ceremony consisted of the proces sion of clergy to the sanctuary, the vesting of the Archbishop from purple to robes of black and white, and the celebration of the mass. Following the mass was the sermon by Father O'Hara. Absolution at the catafalque by the Archbishop followed the tribute to Pope Plus X. His assistants were Rev. A. Hilde brand. assistant priest; Revr J. C. Hughes and Rev. J. H. Black, deacons of honor; Rev. Arthur Lane, deacon of the mass; Rev. George Thompson, sub deacon; Rev. Frank Maher. mitre bearer; Rev. George Campbell, book bearer, and Rev. John Neeland, candle bearer. Mrs. Rose Frtedle Gianelli and Father Kane were the soloists In the choral offerings, which otherwise consisted of the Gregorian cnant, sung oy a buwu of priests and laymen. Including Fathers Cronln, Raymond, Maher De Lormier. Waitt, Kane. Kelly and r ran ds Black and Messrs. Gianelli. Sauvie, Keatiug and Dollard. F. W. Goodrich, Chorister, was at the organ. Sermon Expresses World's Grief. The memorial sermon of Father 0"Hara expressed the deep grief of the world at the passing of a great and good man who exemplified the de mocracy of the Catholic Church in being raised from humble birth to the position of spiritual ruler of 300,000,000 Catholics. The text of the sermon was selected from Ecclesiastes :45, where it is said of Moses: "He was beloved of God and men, whose memory Is in benediction. He made him like unto the saints in glory and he sanctified him in his faith and meekness; and he chose him out of all flesh and he gave him command ments before his face, a law of life and instructions, to teach Jacob his covenant and Israel his Judgments." Sermon Is Given. The speaker said In part: The Inspired writer tells us It is better to go Into the house of sorrow than into the house of Joy. There is something pe culiarly hoiy In Christian sorrow. You, ray brethren, who usually find the house of God a house of Joy, find It today a house ot mourning. Today the church has put on her recent widowhood. Today her heart Is made, as It were, desolate, and grieving tears of sorrow are upon her face. For the great father, the great guide, the great visible head of the church of God has passed from the scene of his earthly activity to his appointed place among the triumphant church In heaven. And as It was written of old, all earth raourneth. Wherever the sun shines there is found the Catholic Church, and everywhere It Is afflicted. And not, merely Catholics, but the whole civilized world laments the pass age of a great and good man. The tradition of Peter's powers and of Peter's office has passed on from Pope to Pope for nearly 2000 years. The hands that received this grest depository were, some more, some less, worthy of it; but the deposit itself was never violated. That long and magnificent list brings before us some of the greatest saints that God ever gave to his church brings before us his toric names whom the world has even can onized with Its own evanescent canonizing of fame. It recalls a Leo the Great who turned Attllla from the walls of Rome, a Gregory the Great, who sent the Monk Augustine to convert England, and a Greg ory even greater, the Immortal Hildebrand. who, dying at Bowena. could declare "I hae loved justice," and an Innocent III, and a Leo XIII, a Julius II and a Pius V. Yet with all these and worthy company with theru all, both as man and as vicar of Christ, is he whose passing the church mourns today. Plus X. Condemning Modernism Lauded. It was the attempt to dilute Christian truth Into an utter unreality that Plus X called modernism, and against this mod ernism Plus X raised his voice In tones of authority, condemning It as the syn thesis of all heresies and as utterly sub versive of Christian teaching. The con demnation of modernism by Plus X takes a foremost place among the classic defenses of the religion of Christ. There are those who would try to make the world believe that the condemnation of modernism was equivalent to the con demnation of modern science, physical and historical. Such a statement is an appeal to Ignorance. The Catholic Church yields to none In her appreciation of physical and historical science. It will be difficult to find in history a more heroic struggle for liberty and Justice than the contest of Pius X against the tyranny of the French government. The difficulty was precipitated by the French government Interfering with the obedience of French bishops to the head of the church in the hope of creating a schism among French Catholics. The government also claimed the right to nominate the bishops. This situation was rightly viewed as Intolerable by Plus X. who demanded the liberty of the church from such des potism. The government made reprisal by plundering the property of the church. America Is Traised. Some have pretended that France wanted a separation of church and state such as we enjoy In America. The diabolical per secution of religion m which France has Indulged during the past decade makes such a claim ludicrous. Thank God! Amer ica knows the meaning of liberty. Here there Is no possibility of conflict between church and state because each freely pur sues its own appointed work. Without attempting to present adequately the work ot Plus X we pass on to view his character. Born of humble parents, reared in poverty, he attained by his own merits to the highest office in the wcrld. His mental gifts had won for him enviable positions as professor of theology and canon law. His administrative powers were recognised in his appointment as bishop of a distracted diocese. His high character led Leo XIII to appoint him In the first lr.

He came to the election of the successor of Leo neither wishing nor expecting the exalted dignity, but was the choice of the cardinals for the position of Supreme Pontiff. That Joseph Sarto should have been elevated to the foremost place in all this world without any ambition of his own to attain It, la a remarkable witness both to his own grandeur of character and to the wonderful democracy of the Cath olic Church whose founder worked in a carpenter shop, whose first Pope was a fisherman and whose last sovereign head was the son of a poor postman. It Is no less an evidence of nobleness of Plus X that having been raised to the highest dignity from the lowest rank he never be came Inflated with success nor strove to have others forget the rock from which he was hewn. NEW STEAMERS DUE 1 u7o ZDeser-et? 7re Marine Notes. Notice has been given mariners by Henry L. Beck, Inspector of the Sev enteenth Lighthouse District, that on September 15 the Marshfield range front light will be changed from a fixed white to fixed red illumination. That California travel keeps up is shown by the fact reservations have been made in number with the "Big Three" fleet for sailings up to Sep tember 19. It is planned to start the British steamer Colusa for sea this evening. She loads more cargo at Astoria and continues to San Francisco, where It is probable she will be given an Ameri can register. To load lumber for San Diego the McCormick steamer Multnomah left the harbor last evening for St. Helens. The steamer Johan Poulsen moved to Rai nier from St. Helens and finishes at Tongue Point. The steamer Daisy Gadsby has been cleared for San Fran cisco with 600 tons of grain and 316,000 feet of lumber. The Yosemite loads 875,000 feet of lumber for San Fran cisco. Arriving on the steamer Yosemite from . the Golden Gate yesterday were 500 tons of Argentine corn, which was discharged there from the British steamer Cloughton. The steamer Temple E. Dorr arrived last night with another large shipment of the cereal. The Cloughton was sent to Puget Sound to unload the remainder of her cargo. The entire load was consigned to Al bers Bros. Frank Bollam, Portland agent of the turbine steamers Yale and Harvard, was advised by telegraph last night that special rates previously announced for certain days have been placed In effect until September 7 and apply be tween San Francisco and Los Angeles and San Francisco and San Diego. Colonel McKinstry, Corps of Engi neers, U. S. A., will conduct a hearing at his office at 10 o'clock this morning on a proposed relocation of the harbor line in places. Members of the Port of Portland Commission, Commission of Public Docks, Chamber of Commerce and individual shippers are expected to be heard on the subject. Balfour. Guthrie & Company, Port land agents for the Harrison Direct Line, have been informed that the com pany will resume service from Europe to the Pacific Coast September 1. New York's postofflce reports that of SO 000 parcel post packages received a dav it has complaints of damaged condition averazinr only four a day. Oregonian to Reach Port for First Time for Cargo. 0HI0AN SOON TO ARRIVE Pennsylvania, Georgian, Montanan, Kentucklan and Xebraskan to Make Regular Trip to Portland for East Coast loads. Though named after the Beayer state, the steamer Oregonian, of the American-Hawaiian fleet. Is to make her Initial entrance into waters of the commonwealth September 5, when she arrives from New York. She was built In 1901 and, while not of the most modern fleet under that flag, is 406.8 feet long with a beam of 51.1 feet and 30.3 feet depth of hold, being of 3651 tons net register. The coming of the Oregonian also marks the introduction of a permanent and direct schedule to Portland. New Vessels to Enter Port. The new steamer Ohioan is due Sep tember 22 and other cargoes accumu lating at San Francisco will be trans shipped on coasters until October. After that date there with be no break In the schedule, the new steamer Pennsyl vanian being due October 11. the Georgian, also new, October 16; Mon tanan, likewise of the new fleet. Octo ber 21; the Kentucklan, of the same class and age, October 27, and the Ne braskan, one of the smaller vessels, October 30. News of the schedule having been definitely worked out reached C. D. Kennedy, Portland agent, yesterday and fulfills promises made that this port would be placed prominently on the American-Hawaiian map, provid ing shippers sufficiently appreciate the servioe to support It. From this city the steamers proceed to Puget Sound and then back thorugh the canal by way of the California ports. They bring cargo to Portland from the East and, while in port, load that ready for shipment. New rates being quoted via the Pan ama Canal show wharfage charges at different ports of call are In addition, Portland being 25 cents a ton. Cargo billed for Los Angeles is discharged at San Pedro and the cost of handling into Los Angeles is added. At San Francisco the wharfage is only 5 cents a ton, at Portland 25 cents and at Se attle 20 cents. Heavier CTrelshts Anticipated. The action of the American-Hawaiian in giving Portland the same facilities afforded other Pacific Coast harbors indicates that a material growth in the cargo movement is expected. The liner Nevadan left here last night after hav ing discharged 2UU0 tons-or cargo anu loaded a large quantity of grain and other freight. She calls at Puget Sound to finish discharging New York shipments and to take on return con signments. She goes direct to New York upon turning south. The steamer Santa Cecilia, of the Grace fleet, also left last night and calls at Astoria to take on 600 tons of salmon for New York. She completes loading at San Francisco and San Pedro and will be the first of the Grace flag to use the canal eastbound. The Boston-Pacific interests are the next expected to establish an agency here. Their steamers are to enter the general cargo trade to the Coast and be used for the return in the lumber trade, as a tremendous movement of lumber is looked for to the East coast. SHEATHING OF DOCKS PIAXNED East Side Dock to Be Built to Haw thorne Avenue Bridge Line. Details of the waterfront building ordinance of the Commission of Public Docks are being gone over with the intention of enforcing certain provi sions that have not been generally abided by, one of them being the sheathing of all docks so as to pre vent drift from accumulating beneath. The Commission met yesterday and the members expressed themselves as agreeable to a plan of Page & Company to extend their dock to the south line of the east approach of the Hawthorne avenue bridge. It was voted to confer with the City Commission in the matter of establishing grades at street ends. City Attorney La Roche advised the Commission that it has the power to proceed with paving a street between Municipal Dock No. 1 and warehouses to be built in the rear. Regarding dam aged buildings on the north side of the west approach of the Morrison street bridge the Meier estate informed the Commission that they would be re moved as soon as insurance details were disposed of, the structures recent ly having been on fire. An ordinance is to be prepared providing for the in stallation of sprinkling systems in all buildings within 500 feet of a bridge approach. HOWTH LEAVES RIVER TODAY Sailer Bound For War Zone With Cargo of Oregon Lumber. To the British bark Howth will be accorded the distinction of being the first sailing vessel to leave from the Northwest for England since the Eu ropean war was precipitated, as she has received orders to put to sea to day. Her master has instructed Jack Grant, shipping commissioner, to send four sailors to Astoria to complete her crew. The vessel has been held there for about three weeks. She has a lum ber cargo for London. The Merchants.' Exchange service yesterday carried a report of the de parture from Callao for Portland Au gust 22 of the Norwegian ship Marosa, which comes here to load grain for the United Kingdom. The Norwegian bark Spartan has been on the way from Callao since July 27 and others listed from there are the German bark Tellus. Norwegian bark Semantha, British ship Olivebank, Norwegian bark Falls of Afton and German ship Omega. All told there are 36 grain carriers on the board at the Merchants Exchange to load here this season, hav ing a combined tonnage of 96,045. SHIPS ARE NOT ISEMEASURED Federal Officers Rule on Tonnage Feature of Foreign Carriers. Collector of Customs Burke has re ceived telegraphic information from Washington bearing on the transfer of foreign vessels to the American reg istry as to tonnage measurements that sets at rest doubt as to how they will be regarded by officials of the United States in admitting the vessels. The telegram says: "Merchant vessels of Great Britain, Belgium, Denmark, Austria-Hungary, German Empire, Italy, Sweden, Nor way, Spain, Netherlands, Russia, Fin land, Portugal, Japan and France will be deemed to be of tonnage denoted In their certificates of register or other national papers, and it shall not be necessary for such vessels to be re measured at any port In the United States, the measurement laws of those countries being substantially similar to the laws of the United States." PORTLAND SCALE REMAINS Longshore Workers Will Seek Ad justment of Pay in North. Wages in effect at Portland for long shore work are not to be disturbed, ac cording to Andy Madsen, secretary treasurer of the Pacific Coast District, International Longshoremen's Associa tion, who says that an adjustment in conformity with Portland's scale Is prospective on Puget Sound and a meet ing of the executive committee ot the longshoremen is to be held there with shippers Tuesday. A similar meeting is to be convened at Vancouver, B. C, later. Checkers on Portland docks, who sought an increase in pay from 30 cents an hour recently, are said to be rapidly adjusting matters with employers, and certain men have been retained on monthly salaries and others paid 40 cents an hour, as the latter are not regularly employed. In about a week It is hoped to apply the same arrange ment on other docks. 1 DREDGE MARKS DESIGNATED Inspectors at Portland Advised of Adoption of New Rules. Copies of new regulations and those amended recently by officials of the Steamboat Inspection Service have reached United States Inspectors' Ed wards and Fuller, and among them Is the following affecting dredges: Dredges which are held In stationary po sition by moorings or spuds shall display by day two red balls not less than to feet In diameter and carried In a vertical line not less than three feet nor more than six feet apart, and at least 15 feet above the deck house and In such a position where they can best be seen from all directions.
