First afternoon service, with consecration meet ing and short sermon by Dr. AndeVson. 7:30 P. M. Regular evening service, with sermon by Dr. Anderson on "The Swordlesa Crusader." - While rain descended like baptismal drops upon the roof of the great tabernacle at East Third and East Irving streets last night the Meth 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.

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. death of Mr. Hamlll, Brownsvlll councilman, and husband of the de ceased, took place about a month ago.

Brown bottles flashed high in the air, dropping on the cold pavement of the courtyard with a "plop,""ac companied by the swish of a golden .liquor and crash of shattered glass. Heads appeared in windows for seven tiers surrounding the courthouse yard and audible mourning followed. Ruthless hands of deputy sheriffs newspapermen and other volunteers tore the carefully padded cartons from about the bottles and vied in accuracy of aim and extent of splash 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.

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.
