TIIE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, DTCCrmmER 19, 1914. PASTOR MAKES PLEAl FOB BELGIAN AID Rev. W. B. Hinson Says He Cannot Hear Angels Sing for Cry of Distress. PUBLIC GIVES ASSISTANCE itclief Fund Totals to Date $11,000 In Provisions and $60 00 In Cash Contributed and These Amounts Grow Dally. DR. HIXSOX APPEALS FOB BELGIUM. Europe is at war. And Bel gium is ground between the up per and nether millstones of hell. Five dollars will put a bafrel of flour in a Belgian family. Put one there if you can. God in cline you so to do. I know the angels are still singing of "Peace - and Good Will"; but really I cannot hear them, for the wall of distress that sounds so bitter and so loud. Churches of the city are coming to the aid of the Belgian relief fund and are helping the Oregon committee In this charity. At the White Temple next Sunday, an offering will be taken for the cause. Dr. W. B. Hinson, pastor, has printed an appeal in the church bulletin in which he points to the suf fering that should impeli each Chris tian heart to relief work. An extract follows: "I do not say to you today, 'A Merry Christmas.' So I will say. may you spend 'A Useful Christmas.' You put out crumbs and water for God's spar rows. And that is right. -But Christ has some little children who are hun gry; and their mothers are heavy-eyed with weeping; and their fathers, wh are out of work, choke down great gasping sobs as they see other fathers carrying home clothes, and candy, and toys. And if you can give a helping hand, and do not; why Jesus Christ, who is so tender and kind, will yet have to curse you. Miss Henrietta E. Failing was yes terday appointed by Governor West to the Oregon Belgian relief committee to head the women a work to obtain sup plies for the suffering Belgians. Miss 1' ailing is already a member of the ad visory board, recently named to co operate with the committee, other mem. bers of which are: Samuel Hill, chair man; O. J. Goffin, M. D., J. van Hoorols- sen, C. Henri Labbe and Joseph Closset. "We are very glad to welcome Miss t'allinx to the committee," said Chair man Hill last night. "She is a very capable woman and I am sure she will be of great assistance in the work." The committee was advised yesterday of a number of Oregon points that are collecting supplies for shipment to Portland, but which are not yet ready to be sent. They will be reported shortly, it is promised. Nyssa, Or., sent word it will have a shipment delivered here by January 1. Up to last night the relief fund for the aid of the Belgians totaled $11,000 In provisions and $6,000 in cash con tributed. The amount is growing daily.

CONVICTED VAGRANT FREED Judge McGinn Says Prisoner Should Be Working, So Faroles Him. "Well. Mr. Ryan, what rood will It do to send him to jaiir-queried Cir cuit Judge McGinn yesterday when George Williams, colored, was brought before him on aji-ap&e&l from Munic ipal Court, where he had been sen tenced to 60 days for vagrancy. Williams' face brightened a little all the prospect of liberty. "Yeronner," he said, "I can't get work and I've got the asthma," "Well, then," said the Judge, "the place for you is the rockplle." Williams' face suddenly fell. "But we have no rockplle," continued the Judge. "Mr. Ryan," he said, turn ing to the Deputy District Attorney, I "these cases come before me every day. A man like this does absolutely no good locked up in that warm jail up-1 stairs. He should be outside working somewhere.

KELLEHER LOSES IN LISTS Policeman Misses Detective Plum by Civil Service Interpretations. A difference in the interpretation ofl a civil service rule by Secretary Tupper I on the one side and by members of I the Civil Service Board on the other. I cost Daniel Kelleher, a policeman, a I place in the detective bureau at a higher salary, yesterday. There are two vacancies in the detective service. The list prepared by Secretary Tup per, of the Civil Service Bureau, placed Archie Leonard first on the list and Daniel Kelleher second. Kelleher was I ahead of LeRoy B. Cahill by a few I points. This was because Kelleher was given 5 per cent in the recent detec tives examination for efficient service for a year in the police bureau. Cahill, not being in the service, got no credit. The eligible list prepared by the mem bers of the Civil Service Board gavel Cahill second place and Kelleher third. As a result, Archie Leonard and LeRoy Cahill will be the two new detectives.

Ten clerks in the water bureau are to be dropped January 1.
