MONEY OWED NOTED MEN Stock Kcnurchasctl Willi Personal 2sot.cs After Ventures in ' His Enterprise Prove Unprofitable. Suits Have Iong PenUed. The Rev. tr. Newell Dwight Hillis, of Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, whose unsuccessful ventures Into tho field of speculation and investment called forth his explanation in his historic pulpit Ju Brooklyn Sunday, has been lik ened by his friends, many of whom he has In Portland, to Sir Walter Scott, Mark Twain and General U. S. Grant, all of whom, having plunged them selves into debt, devoted their lives to paying creditors dollar for dollar as nearly as possible. Dr. lllllis' liabili ties at one time amounted to about $500,000. although he had many assets. Dr. Hillis' creditors at one time num bered among others some big men in the world's affairs. Various lawsuits started even some years ago revealed the fact that Dr. Hillis had bought coal lands In the Northwest and turned them over at a profit; that he engaged in timber enterprises and in them in terested Sir Alfred Harmsworth, now Lord Northcliff; Pomeroy Burton, once a newspaperman of Brooklyn and New York, but now in Lord Northcliff's em ploy in England, and Deish J. Hunt, the New York capitalist. Repayment I Made. All of these men bought stock in the I. D. Hillis Logging Company, but afterwards as thai enterprise proved Unprofitable Dr. Hillis repurchased their stock, giving his personal notes In payment. It was In repaying these notes that he lectured and wrote so studiously and steadily the last few years, the panic of 1907 and the strin gency of 1911. coupled with the Kuro pean war outbreak, bringing his re sponsibilities to an issue. Frank L. Ferguson, of Brooklyn, for five years Dr. Hillis" financial agent, in letters written to Portland at the time of the suit filed by Brayton & Lawbaugh, Ltd., of Chicago, to collect about $12,000 in connection with the business of the P. D. Hillis Logging Company, of British Columbia, ions overdue, snld that he had handled about $1,000,000 for Dr. Hillis during his incumbency as Dr. Hillis' financial agent. It wns in this logging company that Dr. Hillis wna supposed to have interested his nephews, and on the ven ture's becoming a losing one, to have taken over the responsibilities of the company "because he had introduced his nephews into business and obtained money from banks on the strength of his own personality," i Nephews Later Uualify Statement. Tho nephews later qualified he tatement. saying their uncle was not paying their debts, but only debts which he had contracted on his own account. Dr. Hillis" nephews are Harry and Percy Hillis. His venture with them was about nine yeass ago. nccording to information given out at the office of ex-tfenator C. W. Fulton in Portland last July when Dr. Hillis van served with notice of the suit while he was lecturing at the Glad stone Chautauqua. In a letter, July 27. Mr. 1" ion said he had endeavored to p'-x Dr. Hillis from collapse and financial ruin and that it was "not necessary for Dr. Hints to make scapegoats of his nephews." When Dr. Hillis was in Portland he briefly, but reluctantly, explained his business difficulties and said he had compromised for $(1000 in the Brayton &. Lawlaugli suits. , . ' Message ttent to Mr. Kulton. - Mr. Ferguson, July 16, soon after the suit papers appeared in Portland, sent the following telegram to .Mr. Fulton: "Dr. Hillis purposely misinformed you to shield himself, therefore your communication to Brooklyn, Kagle es sentially false. In five years 1 have received and disbursed for him $1,000, 000. He paid his own debts and his nephews', but never paid, nor was asked to pay, their personal debts or debts of the logging camp. He now owes various creditors about $'00,000 and his Eastern attorneys are endeav oring to compromise with his cred itors.'.' On July 27 Mr. Ferguson wrote he had not received a reply from Mr. Ful ton, who said Saturday night that he knew comparatively little of the trans actions and was not Dr. Hillis' attor ney. Statement In Challenged. On July :l K. D. Hillis in a letter to Mr. Ferguson said ha hada letter from his uncle, asking hini not to do any thing until they heard from him. In this same letter P. D. Hillis wrote: "There can be no appeal from such a charge (Dr. Hillis' statement in, Port land), except a trial in the courts un less the Doctor advised the press that the statement was given out by an at torney and was misleading." Dr. Hillis' statements in Portland were given out reluctantly and net on his suggestion. - The approximate liabilities of Dr. Hillis June I. 1910, were $764,000. On April 1, 1915. the liabilities were approximately $181,000. much of his property on which bums were due in 1810 havincr been liquidated.

He disclaimed being , a militarist, but added: "I would like to bave a citizen soldiery, by which I mean a body of citizens whose tlrst .choice would be the Hag of the United States, and would know which end "of a gun to put to their shoulders." The country should be resolved, he said, to maintain peace, so long as it could be had with honor, and to pre serve neutrality and to uphold the Pres ident. Mr. Bryan, who delivered a lecture at DravesflelaS partioularly opposed "preparedness." "I believe if wa were as well pre pared as some would haVe us be, we now would be in this war. Tne pre paredness now asked, if effected, prob ably will lead to war instead of pre venting it," he said. The ex-Secretary said no nation chal lenged us, but "that if any of the mad men of Europe should challenge us, our Nation would be Justified in saying, No, we will not battle with you: we have 100.000.000 of people to guard, we have countless ideals to preserve, and we will not go down and wallow in the mud of war with you.' " NEW YORK, Sept. 20.

He is a warning to those who let the material crowd out the soiritual In their lives." This was the statement . of Dr. Carl ! Gregg Doney, president of Willamette University, who preached last night in the First Methodist Church. He took as an Inspiration for his sermon the famous painting of Millet and the poem of the same title. "The Man With the Hoe," by Edwin Markham. In the absence of Dr. Frank L. Love land, who is ill, the assistant pastor. Rev. Henry' T. Greene, presided, and Bishop It. J. Cooke assisted in the service. Of Millet's masterpiece. Dr. Doney f said: "lhis great painting was the idealism of a reality." The poem he termed an interpretation . of a reality. "The man with the hoe is to be found in every walk of life," said Mr. Doney. "It is diflicult to be spiritually clean in lilthy, dark surroundings. Social workers are realizing this and are en couraging and working for better con ditions. "But it is not only the poor who may be lacking In spirituality. Tho mer chant who thinks only of his store and his business Interests is a drudge. The man with tho hoe should be a warning to him. He who has no time for his family, home and church is a drudge."

HASTY LOVE DANGEROUS Sex Urged (o Disregard Entreaties of Gaudily Dressed. Clrgarelte Smoking and Examination Dodging Imitations of Men. DR. HIXSOX'S KIND OF" A MAN A WOMAN SHOULD MARRY. Worth while morally. If cornered he would not lie, or bite at bait Or bribe. He should not have a brow on which nature had written "Nobody home." " A man spiritually, intellect ually and physically. He should not be a, tailor's model, rior wear a tie loud enough to rival a circus band. He Bhould not lapse morally and "come back" with new "resolutions." Don't be in a hurry to get married know the man you marry but above all marry a MAN. This was the advice given to women by Dr. W. B. Hinson at the White Tem ple Sunday night, when he preached upon "The Man You Ought to Marry." It was, a sermon to which he had given much study, he said, but one that he could deliver without the trepidation that will accompany his evening serv ice next Sunday, when he will speak of "The Woman You Ought to Harry." There are many things that a man should be before a good woman should accept his pleading, according to Dr. Hinson. He should be worth while morally; he should be a man who. cor nered in some fashion, would not lie. bribed by any bait would not bite, threatened by any combination of evils would stand fast In his integrity; he should bo a man who would not scoff at religion; he should have character; he should be a man, physically, intel lectually and spi-ritually. Tailor' Model" Not Man. "The man you marry should not be a tailor's model," said the preacher, "wearing a sport collar four inches wide, a tie loud enough to rival a circus band, an oasis of green socks between trouser and shoe, and a chin fit only to hold up cigarettes of the 20 for 5 cents variety. There ought to be a law against calling such a thing a man." "Be careful of hereditary taint or phS'sical blemish." said the speaker. "A happy marriage Is what the Oregon law look ft at when It says that certain tests must be made. That is why many oeople have to cross the river to Wash ington to be married not all. but many." The pastor further went on to say: The man you marry should not have a brow on which Nature has written 'Rooms to Let'; he should not be a man who lapses from ordinary morality and comes back with his sickening new resolutions.' " filiate In Marriage Warned. Haste In marriage was strongly ad vised against, the preacher declaring there was a great dealof philosophy in the proverb of "Marry in haste, repent at leisure." "You have to walk a long road to gether when you're married." said Dr. Hinson, pointing ont the necessity of care in selecting a mate. "There are two parts of the marriage ceremony this recalls 'Till death do you part' and 'So long as you both shall live.' Death may part you before the body dies, but remember you. live on for ever. "There are sad miles on this long road, direful as you may be and hap pily married though you are, yet some days will be dark and dreary. There will be sickness, sorrow, disappoint ment, cross purposes along that road, and for those sad miles you need a MAN walking alor.g beside you not a caricature of a man." Hesitate Before Divorce, Advice. The pastor's A'oice trembled as he continued: "Too late do you say? I thought of that question in my study and for hours cast about for something to say In re ply, and I have not got it yet. You surely lost the fairest flower in life's garden if you lost lhis happiness. If you walk a long road with a gray sky and moaning wind in your ears, God help you. You who do not feel -this pray for the ones who can say 'At last I'm getting my heart's secret voiced In public' "I wouldn't g. to the divorce court if 1 could possibly help it. I believe sometimes that separation is right. When a man and woman wish that they were divorced, they are divorced in heart. If other lives enter Into that relationship, hesitate longer." Dr. Hinson said women do not de mand enough of men. and 'he main tained that If they demanded more, the very demand wo-iH create the supply.

Willamette Iron A Steel Works Head Tbousht to Be Hither la Eng land or France. The Willamette Iron & Steel Works, of Portland, is believed to be negotiat ing for some of the European munitions contracts. Bert C. Ball, president and manager of the company, has been ab sent from the city for some time, and is thought to be either In England or France in an effort to secure some con tracts for his firm. He was reported in London last week, A. G. Labbe, vice-president of the company, when asked last night if Mr. Ball was in Europe, said he did not know. "Mr. Ball has been East for, some time and I have not heard from him for quite a while," he said. Mrs. Ball also disclaimed 'any knowl edge of her husband's whereabouts. She said she did not know when he was coming home. Why the Willamette Iron & Steel Works has not accepted some of the available contracts when so many have Jjeen let In the United States has here tofore been a question. It is believed that the Portland firm is fully as capa ble of handling tile work as Eastern plants. At one time one of the officers was reported as saying the firm didn't ac cept any war contracts out of a desire to avoid complications. The heads of the Portland firm have said also that it would interfere with other work which they have. However, it is believed that now, with the Win ter coming on, when they probably will not be so rushed, they may be attempt-; ing to secure something to keep their plant running with a full force. Foreign agents were in Portland sev eral months ago. Shortly afterward Mr. Ball left for the East. NEAR-BRIDE CHANGES MIND Pair Got L4ceii!c, Arg-ue in Whis pers, and Cancel It. WASHINGTON, Sept. 14. He was 24 and she was 18. At the marriage li cense bureau they swdre they were Harry P. Bair and Gretta F. Brown, both of Baltimore. It was 3 o'clock when they got their permit to wed. Most couples hurry off as soon as thy have the precious document. But Mr. Bair and Miss Brown rrlerely sought two nearby chairs. At 3:30 they were still there. Both were downcast, the young man occasionally pacing up and down the' room. He would return and whispered conversations would fol low. Clerks in the office sensed something wrong. At 4 o'clock, as the doors closed, the couple walked to the desk and request ed that their license be canceled. The wise ones in the office the old mar ried men and elderly . bachelors de cided that Mr. Bair and Miss Brown were right better now than too late. The couple left City Hall, walking aimlessly toward F street. Some blocks from the hall tho disconsolate two were asked for an explanation. "Oh. we thought it best to put if off because we don't want our friends to know just yet." Miss Brown said, with some hesitation, ridding carefully that her mother "knew all about it." She clinched her statement by brushing an untidy lapel on the man's coat. "If you didn't want your friends to know, why didn't you take out your license in some small town? Rockvllle. for instance. They close the Court House there at 6 o'clock," they were told. "It was then. -about 4:15. Mr. Bair looked .jU. Miss Brown and she looked back. "V never thought of that," ex claimed the girl.

" Promising Itccruit Found. About a half hour's hard scrimmag ing was indulged in and the pigskin warriors knew that something had been a-f. mp-llshed when they had fin ished. The workout pleased Rupert, who uncovered a promising looking youngster, named Anderson, who worked at half for the rookies. The now man weighs in the vicinity of ITU pounds and starred on one of the Se attle high school teams last year. Other new men were McCann, a 210 poundcr. who played for Stanford a few seasons ago; Walker, a local man, who played on an amateur eleven last season; Klchenlaub. a 165-pounder, who played last year with the Sellwood amateur team, and Watson Philbrook, brother of George Philbrook.

It is propounded ty T. Gilbert Pearson. National authority on game birds, who came down hero to tell the Attorney-General there wer; too many illegal aigrettes in the Fail mil linery. When you go Into a hotel and don't care how much money you spend and look down the bill of fare to the place where il says "$6." and then order "wild duck," now are you going to know It is "wild"? That's what Washington is wonder ing. Pearson says one can't tell. He has got the gourmands guessing by his declaration that half the "canvas--back" ducks for which would-be epi cureans are paying from $S to $6 arc merely typographical errors" on the bill of fare. Privately he has confided to some of the bird sharks down here that most of the "wild ducks" on the hotel menus were raised In a yard and a pond with a fence around them. He positively defies anybody to toll the difference when the waiter brings them in. Just because a wild duck is wild is no reason, Pearson says, why it should taste any better than a tame "wild" duck which has abandoned its wild ways and settled down into a plain, garden variety, businesslike duck. He says tliat men are making money rais ing "wild ducks" and that the Nutional Audubon Society, of which he is sec retary, is encouraging the industry as a means of preserving the game.
