odists believe in sprinkling, you know
the great mass choir and the as
semblage of probably 2500 persons in
the audience opened the first meeting
of the six weeks' "United Gospel
Crusade" for Portland by singing
with' mighty voice, "Blessed Assur
ance, Jesus Is Mine."'
Walter Jenkins, well known to
Portland folk for his leadership in
community singing during tire war
period, led the assemblage in the
well-known song and then piloted it
through several of the songs of the
official songbook, "The Songs of the
Kew Crusade.
Crusade Gets Under Way.
Then followed a prayer by Rev. D.
Lester Field, pastor of the Mount
Tabor Methodist Episcopal church, for
unity and singleness of purpose dur
ing the meetings just begun. Dr.
Charles MacCaughey of Centenary
Wilbur "church conducted the offering
and Bishop Shepard gave a brief
talk on the purposes of the campaign
and the crusade was on its way.
"This is to be one blood-red six
weeks for Ood and for humanity,"
declared the bishop. "Methodism was
born in a fervor for God and for
humanity and its power is not lost.
God forbid that Methodism ever should
lose its ardor for soul-saving."
Evangelist Takes Charse.
Bishop Shepard then introduced
George Wood Anderson, evangelist,
who at once took up the service.
Many of the city pastors, not only of
the Methodist churches, but also of
numerous other denominations, were
present, most of them having places
on the platform. The chorus choir
numbered probably 200 voices, and
this is to be augmented until a body
of about 350 trained singers will be
in attendance each night.
Dr. Anderson met with a rising au
dience and cheers when he stepped
to the pulpit. He is & man of pleasing
personality and much dynamic force.
His voice carried well to all sections
of the great tabernacle, although at
times it reached a nasal pitch. His
message was delivered in a serious
manner that deeply impressed his
hearers.
Day of Romance Present.
. After reading of the scriptures and
a solo by Mr. Jenkins, Dr. Anderson
plunged into the discourse on the sub
ject of "Facing Today," using as hia
text a selection from II Corinthians:
"Behold, now is the accepted time:
behold, now is the day of salvation."
He declared that this is the day of
romance, the day of chivalry and the
day of opportunity for service to
mankind, more so than at any other
day of history, and his exhortation
was to the churches to devote the
ensuing six weeks to a concentrated
service in winning souls to Christian
service.
"God places the emphasis upon to
day," said the speaker. "Of all the
days in God's calendar, today is the
mightiest, and it is God's idea that
every man should look the present
moment squarely in the face and see
What it has in store for him."
Many Living? in Past.
He then illustrated how so many
persons are living either in the past,
with their memories, or in the future,
with their imagination, but few are
living vitally in the present.
"A man should compel both mem
ory and imagination to concentrate all
the two great eternities upon the
present moment," he declared, "and
cause this day to stand forth before
the awakened consciousness as the
greatest hour of human history. To
refuse squarely to face today is to
prove unworthy of the past and a
traitor to the future."
Declaring that this is the age of
romance, the speaker compared present-day
achievements with those of
the 15th century, generally regarded
as one of romance.
"Hemispheres larger than that
which Columbus added to the globe
are calling to every heroic heart,"
he said. "The winds are calling us
to become our highways; the earth
is calling for us not only to mine
but in their depths we may find the
means for rapid transit: electricity
is a whole universe in Itself, the
outer edges of which have Just been
touched; the sunbeam calls us to cap
ture its power and put it to work.
We only have begun to enter into
the wonders of the world in which
we live."
Chivalry In Great Demand.
As an age of chivalry the speaker
declared the call was never so strong
as it is for us who are living today.
He reviewed the crusade of Peter
the hermit and his young -men fight
ing to recover the sepulchre of
Christ; the crusade of DePeyan, who
called for a higher heroism, and the
period when knighthood was in
flower, making battle with forces
that threatened the happiness and
purity of women and children, and
then declared that the call for service
today demands chivalry unequaled.
Me made his personal appeal to the
pastors, the church officials and the
individual church to aid in the present
crusade. ' -
CiOHpel Trumpet Sounded.
"Face today and your problem,"
said the speaker. "Today I pick up
the gospel trumpet and would rally
you to a conflict that would put out
of existence every form Of commer
cialized vice in the city of Portland
and that' would not stop until the last
man and woman is won for Jesus
Christ."
It was announced that tonight Dr.
Anderson will preach on "The Sword
less Crusader" and that at this meet
ing pastors and the members of their
churches will sit in groups, when the
COURT THROWS OUT
SUIT FOR
DIVORCE
TN THE future, if any of the city1
big water wagons lumbers down
the street, John Miller is going to
make a flying leap and try to get
aboard. For John tried to dodge one
of the things the other day and came
to grief.
lo a fellow well In his cups the
thought of the good old water wagon
leaves a taste like the morning after.
John was about "three sheets in the
wind" and almost ready to founder as
ne steered an uncertain course down
Third street. A water wagon hove
into view. John became immediately
aiarmea. ne rushed toward the curb,
slipped and fell. A cop picked him
up. wnn one eye shut and a deep cu
on the head. '
"I wuz tryin' to get out of the way
of the water wagon," quoth John as
he appeared before Judge Rossman in
municipal court. '
And it almost ran oven you.' sup
plemented the judge. "You fellows
who have such a horror of the water
wagon always come to grief sooner or
iaier. xne water wagon is a pretty
good old cart, after all, 'and you
should get acquainted with it."
"Honest, judge, Pli: climb ud and
stay on it if you'll let me go this
lime,- pleaded the prisoner.
1 11 gamble with you once." agreed
the judge. "But remember, if vou
do any backsliding I'll see that you
come to more grief than you suspect
might happen to one lone drunk."
Throughout the entire police sta
tion yesterday there permeated the
unmistakable odor of liquor. Persons
going to the station on business of
various kinds were instantly struck
by the odor or should it be stench?-
which filled the corridors and court
room. Some there were who sniffed
wice and smiled remlniscently. Oth
ers frowned.
Just like a cheap north end saloon
in the good old days," offered a
hard-boiled" cop who has been
through the mill.
At any rate, the station smelled
like a cheap saloon just efter mid
night, and George Dieust, bootlegger,
was responsible. Dieust has been op
erating a still for several months for
he . manufacture of prune whisky.
The police carried 90 gallons of the
prune mash into court as evidence,
and it was this which gave the sta
tion the anti-Volstead perfume.
Dieust pleaded guilty and took a fine
of $100 and 30 days in jail as his
portion.
Habitues of the Vallhalla poolhall
don't appreciate good Finnish singing,
says Fred Nelson, a husky lumber
jack, who was before the court for
being drunk and disorderly. Nelson
wandered into the poolhall and start
ed to sing. The loafers stood it for a
while, then asked him to ' stop.
But Nelson continued. It was then
force was applied and he was thrown
out of the place. He was attempting
to break a plate glass window to the
tune of some Finnish folk song when
a bluecoat nabbed him. Nelson paid
a J10 fee and went his way.
Lane Pike, 19, is one. of the city's
most ardent radio fans. He had set
up a receiving station at his home on
the east side and wanted a transmit
ter to add to his equipment. He
knew where - one was located, so
started out to get it. But the owner
objected and Pike was jailed on a
charge of larceny. The boy was re
pentant when he appeared before
Judge Rossman and admitted his
guilt. He escaped with a" $25 fine
upon his promise to leave other peo
ple's property alone in the future.
"Hurray for ze 'Merican flaj
shouted Albert Beckman.
"Hip, hie, hie," echoed Peter John
son.
And together they lunged toward
the tri-colored barber pole to pay
their respects.
They were hugging the red. white
and blue pole when a cop happened
by.
"What you birds doing?" questioned
the "bull."
"Shlutin ze flag." offered Beckman
In police court yesterday they stood
before Judge Rossman and gazed for
some time at the American flag
draped over the Jurist's bench.
I have no sympathy for a pair o
drunks who will mistake a barber
pole for the Stars and Stripes," the
judge told them. -
And then he added:
"You will each pay $10 and stay in
Jail for one week."
"He was as busy as a butterfly In
a flower garden," testified "Pat" Kee
gan, patrolman, against Frank An
derson, professional moocher. Ander
son, the cop said, was standing near
Fourth and Stark streets begging o
nearly every pedestrian who passed
by. And he was working fast and
furiously.,
"Well, we will let the butterrry
flutter around in our little garden up
stairs," the Judge ordered. "He will
stay here 45. days."
His identity is unknown, but from
the tenor of his letter it is easily seen
that he is a "rounder" who has been
on the inside of jails in every part of
the country. But he bumped up
against Judge Rossman in municipal
court some months ago and it made a
new man of him.
He is working now at Marshfield
far removed from the temptations of
he underworld, but he still holds a
high regard for the judge and in
etter received yesterday he congrat
ulates Judge Rossman on his eleva
tion to the circuit bench. His letter
follows:
Honorable Sir: I deem it a great
pleasure to congratulate you on your
appointment to circuit judge, and am
nly sorry it is not the highest post
this good old V. S. A., because it
there ever was a real square shooter,
is name is George Rossman?
'Let me tell you, judge, that you
s-ave me 30 davs once, ana wnue i
was in the can 1 was in a tanic wun
bunch of drug addicts, and you
now what a rotten, lying class they
are; but, sir, 1 don t tninK x ever
eard one of them say an unkind
ord about you.
"Now. you know, judge, in a place
ke that, where everyone says he is
nnocent, I think that is a real recom
mendation. You and Matt Brady of
San Francisco are a good pair. You
always give the down-and-outs a
chance and don't listen , to those
'dicks' and their flock of stool pig
eons. "Well, judge, after that 30 days I
did in Portland's 'hellhole' I 'have quit
the booze and m working. I hope to
get on my feet again soon, so am
going to conclude this note by wish
ing you the very best of good luck,
with health, wealth and prosperity
thrown in for good measure.
"God bless you."

One of the interesting side features
of last night was the attendance in

of the Oregon Employment institu

Superintendent Myers and Mrs. Myers,
the matron. They took a spirited
part in the singing and were intent
listeners during the service. Several

BOTH PARENTS AT FAULT
Woman Deputy District Attorney
Defeats Default - Judgment
in Uncontested Case.
A lavender, georgette crepe nightie,
resplendent in bright ribbons and lace,
was "Exhibit A" in the divorce suit of
M. R. Chipman against Velma Chip-
man, heard by Circuit Judge Tazwell
yesterday. ,It was the sort of garment
featured in lingerie shops as guaran
teed to hold the affection of any hus
band. But if this was its function, it
failed in the case at issue.
It seemed that the husband did not
present this dainty slip to his wife.
and he had strong suspicions concern
ing the identity of the donor. She de
clared on the witness ,stand that her
sister gave it to her as a Christmas
present. Chipman asserted that to
the best of his recollection, his wife
once had boasted to him that it was a
gift from a "gentleman friend." Be
sides, he said her sister did not "like
her that much."
Case Thrown Out of Court.
After hearing the testimony on both
sides, Judge Tazwell held that both
parties to the suit were equally to
blame for the domestic infelicity and
threw the entire matter out of court,
dismissing the complaint and telling
the young couple that they had better
try married life together again and
forget their differences.
The husband might have received
the divorce in the regular grist of de
fault cases, Wednesday, as his wife
had put in no appearance in the
action, and probably would have, had
it not been for the observant eye of
Miss Lida M. O'Bryon, deputy district
attorney, representing the state' of
Oregon in the divorce court. She noted
in a glance over the voluminous com
plaint filed by the husband that Chip
man accused his wife of very unbe
coming conduct and yet was willing
that she be granted custody of the
child.

councilman, and husband of the de

Brown bottles flashed high in the

.liquor and crash of shattered glass.
Heads appeared in windows for seven
tiers surrounding the courthouse
yard and audible mourning followed.

It was the occasion of public de
struction of liquor at the order of
Sheriff Hurlburt yesterday afternoon
a scene which is becoming more and
more rare.
Of late the iron throat of the drain
is sorely beset by a pale fluid, smell
ing of oorn and raisins and reeking
with fusel oil. Many barrels of this
"white mule" are broken and many
bottles shattered, but the bottles are
not quart size nor often the cus
tomary pint flask, the most popular
container being an eight-ounce bot
tle of size and appearance resembling
those which contain witchhazel in
drug stores.
The odor filling the air yesterday
was not tnat oi Dourpon and scotch
or even of moonshine. It was a pecu
liar, almost nauseating smell. The
deputies were smashing cases of
goods taken from the Basket grocery
a long while ago, containing bitters
of various description. Only the most
hardened hair tonic and perfumery
fiend could have tackled the bitter
tasting concoctions.

that Foster had told acquaintances
Mrs. Bushnell had broken up his home
and that "she will find she is fooling
with the wrong man."
Dr. D. A. Nicholson and Dr. A. F.

protested Miss O'Bryon, and the court
accordingly set the case over for
earing. When it came up yesterday,
Mrs. Chipman decided to fight for her
child and in doing so was forced into

complaint of her husband.
A pretty matron of 19 years, Mrs.

gone on "parties" without her hus

"Petting Partleo" Are Charged.
Chipman, who is 22, admitted that
his tastes in entertainment were not
similar to those of his wife, but
pointed out to the court that it was
not altogether a matter of choice as
he only made $20 a week and found
little money left for amusements after
urrent bills had been taken care of.
He said that the "parties" which his
wife attended were combined "booze
and petting parties." Mrs. Chipman
accused her husband of infidelity dur
ing a period when she was living
apart from him.
