HEALING REPORT
"Faith Cure" Is to Be Dis
" cussed at Portland.
Maj or Thinks Inclusion of Amend
ment Would Be Fatal to Adop
tion of 3iew Municipal Code.
That the civil service employes of
Portland are a political power to be
reckoned with was made evident
when the charter revision commit
tee Monday night, by a vote of 22 to 1,
rejected a recommendation of Gil
bert G. Joyce, member of a subcom- '
mittee, tnat a drastic amendment
be Incorporated in the proposed new
charter which would take away the
right of a municipal worker to ap
peal upon being discharged by a de
partment head,
Mr. Joyce argued that a member
of the city council elected by the
people and responsible to them
could better maintain efficiency in
his department and conduct an eco
nomical administration if he had
power to remove a subordinate
without having such removal sub
ject to review.
Appeal Provided For.
In his proposal Mr. Joyce incorpo
rated, a provision to prevent any re
moval for political or religious rea
sons. It was his contention that
if a discharged employe could show
that his dismissal had been for
either of these two reasons he could
appeal his case directly to the cir
cuit court.
One of the advantages of this.
Bald Mr. Joyce, would be that the
civil service commission would be
relieved of handling a great and in
creasing number of appeals, thus
constituting itself a petty judicial
body.
Mayor Baker made an earnest ap
peal to the charter revisers to vote
down Mr. Joyce's proposal. He said
he had served the city under both'
the councilmanic and commission
form of government for 20 years
and that he believed the present
civil service provisions should be

OPERATIONS IX MAIN COLVM
BIA CHANNEL ENDED.
INVESTIGATION AT END
Bitter Opposition Is Expected to
. Be Voiced at Gathering
of Episcopalians.
Some Local Digging to Be Done
Before Big Fill at Kelso
Is Undertaken.
Tne dredges of the Port of Port
land, having terminated early sea
son operations in the main Colum
bia river, where they were sent to
assist the government fleet in chan
nel work, have been shifted into
the harbor to finish some locafc-
digging before undertaking a
lengthy filling programme at the
new Kelso plant of the Long-Bell
Lumber company.
The dredge Willamette has been
assigned to the Inman-Poulsen mill
property, to clear sediment away
from the face of a new dock there
so as to provide adequate water for
lumber carriers. The dredge Tuala
tin was moved to the Peninsula
Lumber company's property to do
channel. work and add to a fill being
made in connection with future im
provement of the property. The
dredge Columbia has been ordered
to the west side to clear the stretch
between the Clark & "Wilson mill
and the Supple & Martin shipyard.
The dredge Portland has been sent
to dig in the east channel at Swan
island. It is estimated .that within
a month all of those tasks will be
ended.
In line with previous plans, the
Port of Portland ' has entered into
an arrangement with the Long-Bell
retained substantially as they are. I interests for the use of part of its
He further declared that in his
opinion the inclusion of such an
amendment as Mr. Joyce proposed
would be fatal to the. adoption of
the proposed charter.
This fear was echoed by other
speakers, who were clearly of the
opinion that an attempt to change
the charter provisions of civil -service
would invite opposition of a
large body of voters, including city
workers and their friends.
"A number of the charter revision
members told me," said Mr. Joyce,
"that they believed my proposed
amendment was in the interests of
better government and that it
ought to be passed. They said,
however, that they couldn't see how
the amendment could be put over.
If this is the general attitude of
.such a board as that now revising
the present charter, I believe it will
be difficult ever to achieve any re
form for the good of the taxpayers
as long as any considerable body
of the electorate, such as the
Civil Service Employes' association,
occupy a political position that en
ables them to curt any reform they
regard as inimical to their interests.
I do not, however, propose to carry j
dredging fleet at the ivelso prop
erty, where an immense diking
project is to be undertaken. The
present dike is to be raised around
the entire site, on which is to be
constructed a strictly modern lum
ber manufacturing plant, while
within the area is to be included a
townsite. In the dredging agree
ment it is provided that the daily
rental of one of the 30-inch ma-
l chines is to be $1000 and for the
20-inch dredge, which is the Port
Ian. $600 is to be charged. In the
event the dredges are needed for
emergency purposes they are to be
moved from the scene.
At times there may be three
dredges engaged there, depending
on the conditions elsewhere. In
undertaking the work it is pointed
out two ends are served, the Long
Bill Lumber company being insured
the assistance of the port with
powerful equipment that will hasten
the diking and filling operations,
while the port will be enabled to
keep equipment going that might
otherwise, in view of the comple
tion of the principal dredging proj
ects shortly, be ordered out of
service.
The construction Of the new plant
(By Chicago Tribune Leased Wire.)
NEW YORK. Aug. 28. A move
ment focused at present in Grace
church, Tenth street and Broadway,
where meetings for "spiritual heal
ing" have been conducted ever since
James Moore- Hickson was here three
years ago, will come into national
prominence with the presentation at
the forthcoming general convention
of the Episcopal church in Port
land, Or., of the report of a com
mission unique in the annals of the
church. -
For the last three years the joint
commission to consider the fuller
recognition of the ministry of heal
ing has been engaged in an investi
gation of the subject. Now It is
ready to present its findings for the
vote of the convention. Bitter op
position is expected in quarters
where psycho-therapeutics in reli
gion is regarded with suspicion. One
of the aims of the commission, it is
understood, is to bring about a
closer alliance of the clergy and
physicians.
Clinic la Removed.
In this connection a report that
Grace church is to open a clinic for
the treatment of functional nervous
disorders could not be verified today
in the absence of Dr. Charles L.
Siattery, rector of the parish.
The Rev. Eason Cross, curate of
Grace church, denied knowledge of
any such project, although he dwelt
enthusiastically on the Tuesday aft
ernoon meetings which have been
held ever since Mr. Hickson, com
monly known as "the healer." left
New York. Several cures have been
reported as a result of the meetings,
he intimated.
"The laying on of hands" is prac
ticed with prayer at these services.
They -are largely attended by per
sons in phsical or mental distress
and by the relatives of cripples and
invalids who are too ill to appear
In person. Their names are sent up
to the altar on slips of paper. The
officiating clergyman reads them
out, praying for the individual
cases.
Silent Prayer Also Held.
There is a silent prayer and a
chapter on healing is read. Finally
ei;ch one kneels at the chancel rail
while the clergyman lays his hand
on the bowed head and prays, with
specific - reference to the case, for
"strength of mind, soul and body."
This is about as far as any Epis- i
copal church has gone on the ques
tion of faith healing, except, where
church doors have been opened to
the professional '"healer" as in the
cfise of Trinity, which entertained
Mr. Hickson when he was here.
Bishop Manning, who was then
rector of Trinity and really launched
Mr. Hickson in New York, is known
to feel sympathetically on the sub
ject. He. is a. prominent member of
the commission which is to bring in
its findings at the convention in
Portland.

from forest or brush fires. When
their favorite places are burned

localities and race new dangers.
Indiscriminate setting of epring

animals and endangers ground nest

realize that the food' of many birds
is largely the seed and berries of
the year before.
Burning brush also eliminates for
months all shelter from natural en
emies.
Burning of the ground cover In
foreste of longleaf and shortleaf

creased.
!1 BLAME FIXED
TRAFFIC STILL PROBLEM
NEW SIGNAL SYSTEM TO BE
INVESTIGATED.
Commissioner Pier Is Authorized
by City Council to- Study
Ijos Angeles Flan.
Investigation of the Acme traffic
system, in vogue in Los Angeies
and other cities, whereby traffic is
controlled, by electrically operated
Remanhores. lights and bells will
be made by City Commissioner Pier,
on authorization given to him by the
city council yesterday.
Adoption of such system would
mean at least a near one-way
system, for to follow such a plan
successfully all left hand. turns in
the congested district must be elim
lnated. '
The system which is now in vogue
in Los Angeles has & master control
unit on street intersections, where
by one officer can direct the mo
tion of traffic for blocks, allowing
the remaining corner officers to de
vote their entire attention to speed
ing up traffic and aiding pedes
trians.
In other words, this system Is the
famous New York Fifth avenue
traffic plan in miniature.
It is the general belief of mem
bers of the city council that the
time has come for some drastic ac
tion on traffic conditions.
The commissioners have agreed
to make personal studies of traffic
conditions and it is quite probable
that some remedial legislation will
be up for consideration soon.
Mayor Baker and City Commis
sioner Pier believe that some dras
tic method must be adopted and
that one-way traffic seems to be
the only sure relief.

tried to make a change that I be
lieved would make for better gov
ernment." Amendment Affects Appointments.
An amendment, or rather a pro
posed one, was adopted to change
the manner of appointing the civil
service board. This is now ap
pointed by the mayor. The amend
ment provides that the appointments
of the mayor to this board raust be
confirmed by the city council.
An attempt was made to increase
the personnel of the civil service
board to five. This was defeated,
the revisers deciding that three
members, as at present, are enough.
Among the important changes
suggested by the civil service com
mittee of the ..charter commission
and adopted by the parent body wa3
one providing that the chief .of
police shall be included under civil
service.
Another amendment adopted would
take the chief deputy in the city
engineer's office out of civil service,
and still others exempt every em
ploye of the docks commission from
civil service except those in minor
clerical positions and stenographers.
Temporary workers on emergency
construction were also exempted in
another proposed provision adopted.
Clerks and stenographers in the
health bureau were placed under
civil service by still another pro
posed amendment approved by the
revision board.
An amendment providing that five
instead of three eligibles shall be
submitted to the appointing author
ity when vacancies or new positions
are to be filled was adopted.

EAST SIDE SITE BOUGHT
NEW HOME PURCHASED BY
WAD HAMS & COMPANY.
Building: Now Occupied by Mitch

Hands Next June. ,
Negotiations for the sale of the
four-story brick building now oc
cupied by the Mitchell. Lewis &
Staver company on East Morrison,
East Second and Belmont streets,
were closed Monday, according to
announcement made - by Wadhams
& Co., the purchasers. The building,
which occupies half a block in the
central east side district, was pur
chased from Drake C. O'Reilly of
the Diamond-O Navigation company
for a consideration of $150,000.
Wadhams & Co. expect to take
possession June 1, 1923, and will
move their entire wholesale grocery
establishment, one of the largest in
the city, from Its present location
on Fourth street on the west side.
Although definite plans for Improv
ing and renovating the building
have not been prepared, it was an
nounced by officials of Wadhams
& Co. that tbe- building would un
dergo extensive renovation before
being occupied by the firm.
The announcement that the build
ing had been . purchased by the
wholesale concern was received witn
satisfaction in east side business
circles yesterday, for an effort has
been made for several years to
locate a number of the larger whole
sale dealers in the central east
side district. Excellent trackage
facilities and close proximity to the
water front are said to be the strong
factors which make the district at
tractive for the wholesale trade.
S DESTROY G1E
FOREST FIRES BIG MENACE
TO BIRDS AND ANIMALS.
Preservation Also Handicapped
by Loss of Tree Shelter and
Food Because of Flames.
WASHINGTON, D. C.--(By the As
sociated Press.) Of interest, in con
nection with many reports of de
structive forest fires in several sec
tions of the country, is a circular of
the biological survey of the federal
department of agriculture stressing
the effect of such fires on game and
game preservation. A fire which
rages over any large area destroys
not only the birds and other game,
themselves, but their food and shel
ter; and though one may take little
interest in" forest fire prevention for
tihe sake of preserving the trees, he
may be more interested in saving
the game and fish.
Decrease of one or both of the ele--ments
of food and shelter means a
corresponding decrease in the num
ber of valuable wild creatures. The
belief that burning over in certain
localities Is beneficial because it
promotes new grass, ignores the fact
that the grass thus obtained does
not compensate for the destruction
of. the trees and. shelter and food re-
PAJAMA CALLED PASSE
Old - Fashioned Nightie Ousts
s Usurper From Boudoir.
NEW YORK. The pajama, which
a few years ago was considered so
vampish and naughty, has been cast
aside by the fickle Parisians and a
new love replaces it the little old
fashioned nighty.
The pajamas and nightgown ques
tion has been the eternal triangle
of the feminine fashion world and
women have pondered deeply as to
which garment should survive.
The pajama put up a brave fight
during the last month of its ap
proaching defeat. It has flown high
colors and resorted to all sorts of
wanton wiles, and to be ousted off
the fashion map by the old-fashioned
nighty is certainly downright
defeat. However, the old-fashioned
nighty has taken on a lot of new
fashioned ideas in the way of fur
belows and evolved from a stiff
nainsook affair into a veritable
bauble of misty drapes which ac
centuate the feminine figure to the
nth degree.
The Flirt, a Parisian magazine,
ays: "Even those who still wear
pajamas speak of them with the re
serve with which one mentions a
friend who has turned out badly."
"Like father, like son" repeats
itself in "Like gown, like under
garments" in the Parisian markets.
Since so many of the latest gowns
call for pleatings, the underslips are
also developed with pleatings laid
over the hips or at the side fronts.
Nightgowns are often made with
the low empire waistline with pleats
falling from the side fronts.
The long skirt vogue in Paris has
created a demand for the petticoat.
The newest of these are hand-painted
with bright flower motifs.
The hand-drawn underwear which
we always attribute to the Parisian
designers is again passe and lace in
all forms Is being used exclusively.
Even black lace is pressed into
service and, in some cases, whole
garments are made of it. Usually
there is a flesh-colored underslip
which accompanies these all lace
models. -

Autoist Testifies He Kept Car in
Sight and Saw No Accident.
Another Machine Suspected.
THE DALLES, Or., Aug. 28.
(Special.) Frank A. Gilcrest of
Pasadena and Stanley Pullin of
Carmel, CaL, who were arrested
yesterday and charged with man
slaughter as the result of one auto
mobile , forcing another off the
Columbia highway, killing Edwin
M. Hill of Dufur and injuring his
wife and four children, were vir
tually exonerated of blame for the
fatality by a verdict of the coroner's
jury following a" joint hearing -and
inquest held here tonight.
The verdict of the jury was:
"Edwin M. Hill on August 27 was
killed by a fracture of the skull in
an .'automobile accident on the
Columbia highway, west of The
Dalles, when his car went over the
grade, the cause being unknown."
The finding of the jury loiiowea
test'imony given by Ted Sammis Jr..
who said that - while driving be
tween Hood- River and The Dalles
he kept the machine of the two
prisoners in sight, passing tnem
several times and they passing him
as often during the course of the
ride.
In presenting the alibi for the
two men, he also testified that he
had seen another California car
driving away from the scene shortly
after the accident and that that car
carried a pennant, on the lower half
of which was the letter "L."
This tallied with the testimony
of the 12-year-old Hill boy, who had
recovered sufficiently to appear in
court. There was no such pennant
on the car of the prisoners at -the
time of their arrest.
Although the verdict of the
coroner's jury was returned tonight,
it will not be until tomorrow that
tbe two men will know whether or
not they will have to stand trial
for manslaughter. The court hear
ing in connection wi1jj the affair
was not completed, but was aa
journed until morning, when District
Attorney Galloway will take tne
rest of the evidence and announce
his decision.
The first part of the preliminary
court hearing was held in connec
tion with the inquest so as- to save
duplication. Justice of the Peace
Allen swore In the witnesses and he
and Coroner Burget acted together
in taking the testimony.
Both Pullin and Gilcrest said their
machine could not have struck the
other car without their knowledge
and they declared that the first they
knew of the accident was when they
were arrested in Arlington. Appar
ently the scions of wealthy families,
judging from their dress and con
versation, Pullin and Gilcrest had
their first taste of jail today fol
lowing a reading of the charges at
an arraignment before Justice Allen.
They were placed in the county Jail
by Sheriff Chrisman. No bail was
set and they gave no hint of desir
ing such action.
Members of the coroner's jury
impaneled this morning during the
day visited the scene of the wreck,
where photographs were taken of
the car and the general lay of the
land. They visited also Mrs. Hill
and the children in the hospital.
Mrs. Hill, although seriously in
jured, is expected to recover, as are
all of the children, who were riding

Jews of Portland were appealed
to Monday by Rabbi Abba' H. Sil

the, project which would harness the
Jordan river in Palestine for power

the rabbi declared. '
The rabbi told of the destruction

Jews can make of Palestine a
land which will support as many as
4,000,000 of their race if they do
one-tenth of what was done for

versity of the Philippines up to the
recognized standard of class "A"
colleges of this sort in the United
States by revision of the college
curriculum, and the establishment
of a central nursing school that will
double the number of trained nurses
graduated annually In the Philip
pines, are two of the important
measures regarding public health
and the control of disease that have
come about from the work of Dr.
Victor G. Heiser, far eastern rep
resentative of the Rockefeller foun
dation, since his arrival here three
months ago.
Dr. Heiser summarized what has
been done in a report to Governor
General Wood and the director of
health. He invited attention to the
fact that the health activities of the
Philippines are not centralized under
one department secretary, as he 'be
lieves they should be, and he there
fore recommends that the legisla
tion to do this, which failed of pass
age in the last legislature, be
brought up again.
The international health board has
furnished the services of Dr. Charles
N. Leach to the Philippine govern
ment for health work, of Dr. W. S.
Carter as assistant dean of the col
lege of medicine and surgery and
professor of physiology, of Miss
Alice Fitzgerald as consultant in
nursing and of D. W. Tiedeman as
sanitary engineer in charge of field
studies in malaria which have been
undertaken in the province of La-guna.
