THE SUNDAY OREGONIAX, PORTLAND, MAY .31,-1908. 3 HOPES BUSTED Bl DARK PAST Scandal of Long Ago Prevents; Dr. Charles L. Goodsell's ! Election as Bishop.' REPENTANCE IS IN VAIN Mel bod IM Hcfne to Honor Man Whoe Condiu-t Broke Vp An other" Home and Ir6e Wife to Disgrace and Rain. By I. f- R-dr. Kt!itr Tarifls (hrletlaa Adrocat. BALTIMORE. May Co. .:pecfa1 Cor reisponrtnro. AH Kr-at . ijien .are not urii. The Rpv. Dr. Charle Goodell in pastor of Calvary t'hurh.- Xw York City. Thia is one of the most desir able churrlies in Anierfca. And lr. ioodn ha t-ppn one of tle nipst suc cessful pafttors in l!ie t'niteVi' States. It in fH'nl that only a fec .wefks .v he had an earnest invitation in he roine pastor of t lie r tm t- 'oiiarreRH t ion at church in Brooklyn. Ykhioh vas nerved for nearly 50 years by the fain ouk Richard S. Stoors. Jr. Good? It's fame haU (rone out through all the churchra. His enthusiasm was rontus; loua. his effertiveness unparalleled and his enthusiasm a veritable triumph. W has a moHt winsome manner, roitptod with indications of reat strength an J unyiAldf na; determination. Although not a delearate. he became as conspic uous as any member of this body; his box.-which is near the platform. ' as almost constantly filled with virtitor. Though so very conspicuous he seemed not to have been satisfied with tha recognition which his powers and activities had attained. He greedily looked toward greater heights. ife wanted to be a bishop. His friends longed for this recognition of his higrn qualities and great gifts. When the balloting began he received 194 vote on the first ballot; his recognition grew until on the fourth ballot he had ;iD'J votes, lacking only 118 of enough to elect him to this important and digni fied office. His Fall Is Sudden. But rumors were afloat. Indefinite but detrimental things were in the air. concerning him and his history. His vote began to fall off, men of char acter began to talk plainly, until on Saturday the rumors took definite. shape, court records were quoted and it was clearly proved that this popu lar man had been the cause of a di vorce case and two ruined home. A man. named Foster in Rhode Island, after a long and exhaustive trial, juut secured a divorce from his wife be cause, of her relations with Dr. Good 11. All this occurred 22 years ago. On account of the scandal Dr. Goodult's own wife left him and because of the blighting of her hopes in the degrada tion of his character, threw herself into a life of shame, in which life she died a few years after. When all these facts came out. ir. Goodell was not only considered an im possible candidate for the Kpiscopacv, but it is a serious question now wheth er he can retain his present position as pastor of the Calvary Church, and It Is doubtless definitely settled that ae cannot become the successor of the Rev. Dr. W. A. Cjuayle. who has just Vin 1 ftorl frnm t h n no atftra t o nf S4t- James Church. Chicago, and made a bishop. The fact that Dr. Goodell may have repented is not seriously questioned; that he la a good man now but few doubt, but that It was unbecoming in any man who has broken up one home and blighted the life of his wife and sent her in despair and wretchedness through a criminal life into eternity, cannot be sufficiently obliterated from the minds of the members of the great Methodist Conference as to cause then to think that it is proper for him to be placed in the highest office in the gift of the church. Knnvtnr bis nwn record and beina aware that it could be produced, he lacked discernment and a knowledge op the eternal fitness of things when he allowed his name to be used m such a way as to bring before the church his undesirable past, and to make it proper for his record to be exploited before the whole world. Dr. William A. Quayle. the third bishop elected at this conference, was born in Missouri about 47 years ago. He is a sturdy body, with straggling, untidy red hair, a jolly, happy countenance, and a grin that easily breaks into a smile, which often runs into a hearty laugh. His parents were from the Isle of Man, and he has such perfect health that he does not know what sickness means. Greatest in Methodism. He is an untiring worker, requiring but little sleep, and is doubtless the most extensively informed man and the great est literary genius, as well as the most finished drama titc artist. In Methodism. He is a brother to all the preachers, with warm sympathy and untiring help fulness. Though he mas born in Mis souri, he was reared In the State of Kansas. He worked his way through Baker University, at Baldwin. Kan., from which Institution he graduated with distinction, and at once became a mem ber of the faculty. After three years in this position he became president of the Institution. While president he became extensively popular and had Immeasur able Influence, especially with the school body. He was in the heartiest sympathy with athletics of every kind; especially did he favor football, going so far as to take the place of one of the team should a membeq become disabled. This brought upon him such a flood of criti cism that In the Spring of 1894 he re signed the presidency and became pastor of Independent-Avenue Church. Kansas City. He served with great efficiency in this pastorate for five years, when he went for two year to Meridian-Street Church. Indianapolis. He then returned to Kanasaa City, becoming the pastor of the Grand-Avenue Church. He remained at Grand avenue until three years ago. Then he went to Chicago and has since that time filled tbe pulpit of the great St. James Church. In this church be became so Immensely popular that he cam i n- griirrai L-vuirrent'e at uiv head of the Rock River delegation, which embraces tbe entire City of Chicago, and Is one of the very strongest in the de nomination. Dr. Quayle was not In the room when his election was announced, it being Monday morning, and he having gone on Sunday to pi each the bacca laureate sermon for Cornell University. When he appeared in the hall, he was escorted to the platform amid great applause. and for the assistant secretaries of the various boards of - the Methodist Kpis copal Church were continued at the general conference today. Rev. Dr. A. B. Leonard, for 20 years secretary of the Board of Foreign Missions, was re tained. He received 317 votes against 285 for Dr. Homer C. Stuntz. field sec retary of the same board. Rev. Thomas j Nicholson, president of Dakota V es- i ley an University, Mitchell. S. D.. was J elected secretary of the new board of ' education, which will have its office ! in New York City. Rev. Dr. P. J. Ma- voty. field secretary of the former board of education. Freedmen's Aid and Sunday Schools, was named as the ad ditional secretary of the Freed men's Aid Society, authorized by this gen eral conference. Dr. Homer K. Stuntz was elected as sistant secretary of the Foreign Mis sion Board, displacing Dr. B. K. Car roll, who has held the office for eight years. Dr. Ward Piatt was chosen as sistant secretary of the Board of Home Missions' and Church Kxtensions. Rev. W. B. Hoilingshead was elected the representative of the fifteenth dis trict on the boards of the benevolent societies, and Rpv. W. W. Van Dusen was made a member of the book com mittee from the same district. The judiciary committee discussed ' the charges of maladministration brought by Rev. George A. Cooke against Bishops Goodsell. Moore. Berdy and McDowell, on rulings adverse to Mr. Cooke tn the matter of his charges against Chancellor Day and others at the annual conferences presided over by the bishops named. An invitation was tendered to the general conference to hold its next quadrennial session at' Salt Iake City- The conference voted without dis sent that the time Is not propitious for a restatement of the creed of Metho dism, which restatement was asked for" by the Methodist Kpiscopal Church. South. The conference, withdrew frem aJl. connection with the church insurance company, which was organized by the general conference of 1 896. B. bee Paget gave a dinner this evening to Bishop Smith and the dele gates from the Oregon conference.' at which the bishop was assured a wel come to Portland and the Northwest. Senator Beveridge was the orator at an impressive Memorial service held this morning. SITS FEATHERS MUST GO LORD AVEBUKY BKGIXS CRU SADE AGAINST MILLINERS. METnODISTS HOLD ELECTIONS Secretaries and Assistants Chosen by General Conference. HALT1MORB. May 30. (Special.) Election lor tbe remaining secretaries i Introduces Bill in Parliament to Make Hats Plumeless Opposes Slaughter of Birds. LONDON. May SO. (Special.) Wo men's hats will be featheriess after December 31. if the bill Lord Avebiiry has introduced in Parliament passes. His bill, following the example set by New Tork State, makes all plumss. ex cept ostrich, elder, duck and wild birds used for food, contraband. The penalty for Importation for sale or exchange is $25 on first conviction and $125 on second and suDsequent convictions, with forfeiture and destruction of the feathers. But if a woman is actually wearing prohibited plumage when she arrives in Great Britain and is not to sell it, then no offense is committed. Lord Avebury, speaking on his bill to a reporter, said: "The idea of my bill is to check the wholesale destruction of birds going on throughout the world simply to provide plumage for millinery. All the ornithologists In England are be hind me and I have the wholehearced support of the Selborrie and Wild Birds Preservation Societies. The birds to come within the bill are the white heron, from which' osprey plumes are taken, crowned pigeon, albatross, lyre bird, and birds of paradise. The birds are most beautiful at nesting time, when they are mostly caught, so that when one is taken it means the de struction of a whole family. In this way many beautiful species are grad ually dying out. I am sure if ladies really knew how cruel the traffic is, they would never wear the plumes, for after all they do not look nice in them." One of the leading Bond-street mil liners said: "The bill will mean the loss of thou sands of dollars to the millinery trade In London. Women will have plumage hats: if they cannot get them- in Lon don they will go to Paris and bring them back for their own use. Nearly all the plumage and skins from differ ent parts of the world come to the London auction rooms, and then the goods go back to the continent to be worked up. Pass this bill and at onee these great auctions will be moved to some foreign ports, and London will lose that part of the trade as well as the store trade of the customer." At the plume auction sales in Lon don during the last six months of 1907. 19.742 skins of birds of paradise were catalogued, 1411 packages of the nest ing plumes of white heron represent ing the feathers of nearly 115.000 birds and immense numbers of the feathers and skins of almost every known species of ornamental plumage bird. LAW AGAINST -ANARCHISM Spanish Senate Enacts a Most Dras tic Measure. PARIS. May 30. (Special.) A dras tic law against anarchism has just been passed by the Spanish Senate in face of strenuous opposition from the Lib eral and Democrat parties. The law authorizes the Government to suppress entirely newspapers which publish any news about anarchism, except the official notes issued by the Government, and punishes by imprisonment those publishing such unofficial news. It also empowers the authorities to close clubs and to expel citizens who are suspected of propagating anarchism. The new bill has been hotly opposed as an attack on the rights of property, and as likely to lead to regrettable in cidents. It is denounced as a political move which will not accomplish what an efficient police force should.be able to do. Measures Submitted to the People-Rejection 1908 INFORMATION FOR VOTERS While the objects for which the Tax payers' League of Portland was organ ised are limited in their scope, certain of the amendments to the constitution and laws which have been proposed under the initiative and laws on which the referendum has been invoked and which are to be submitted to the people at this election tomorrow come properly within Its jurisdiction. . and - to these they have given consideration. The recommendations upon these ques tions should be accepted in the spirit they are made. The league is looking for no controversy, but if the result of their deliberations are of service to oth ers, the recommendations made will have served their purpose. INCREASE OF MEMBERSHIP, SUPREME COURT, ETC. "An amendment to Article VII of the Constitution by increasing the number of Judges of the Supreme Court from three to five, until otherwise provided by iaw, and authorizing the Legislative Assem bly to provide by appropriate legislation for the exercise by the Circuit Courts, of the probate jurisdiction theretofore exercised by the County courts, and for the transaction of county business by and before some appropriate body or tribunal." 304. YES. S05. NO. Abstract. The forea-oing title succinctly states the purpose of this amendment. It is to increase the number of Judges of the Supreme Court to five, until changed by law. to place the probate jurisdiction in Circuit courts, and to leave to the County courts primarily the conduct of county business. Voters are advUed to -rote 1ES. CHANGING TIME OF HOLDING ELECTIONS FROM JUNE TO NOVEMBER. 306, YES. 307. NO. A batraet. The change proposed will make one election Jess every four years and re duce the expense every Presidential year oy having- the election for state office riMd at the same time as for Presiden tial Electors. Vetera are advised to vote YES. FREE FOR 310. 311. TRANSPORTATION OFFICE HOLDERS. YES. NO. . SuBjareNtlons. There is no reason why. a raUn-tul or other common carrier should grant free transportation to office-holders, and m our opinion it is not only unfair to the rallroeds. but Is belittling to the state and its officers, and tends to place them under obligations which should not exist. Voter are advUed to vote NO. NATIONAL GUARD ARMORIES. "An act to appropriate twenty-five thousand dollars annually for four years, to be used in purchasing grounds and building armories for the use of the Oregon National Guard, the money to ts expended under the- supervision of the State Military Board at any time during the four years, etc." 312. YES. 313. NO. Siiarseatlona. Under this law no definite number of armories nor the cost of each are pro vided for. They may be erected upon the recommendation of the State Military Board in towns where one or more com panies of the Oregon National Guard are located. No limitation is placed upon the cost of the different buildings. In our opinion, this law leaves the way open for large and possibly unnecessary expendi tures. Voters are adrlaed to vote 0. APPROPRIATION FOR SUPPORT , AND MAINTENANCE OF UNI VERSITY OF OREGON. 314. YES. 315. NO. S Harare at Ion a. The arguments for and against this ap propriation have been so generally dis cussed and understood that we do not deem it necessary to argue the matter further. If we are to have & State Uni versity, which we believe we should have, It should be properly maintained. Voters ar advised to vote YES. Hood's Sarsaparilla "la Foremost "A3 A SPRING MEDICINE, "To create an appetite and regu late the whole system, with us, as ours is a New England fanner's home, 20 miles from a large town. We keep it on hand and cannot express the value it has been to us. After suffering for years from dyspepsia j lour Dottles ot this medicine gave me better health than for many rears." Mrs. E. L. Berry, West Troy", Me. "In the spring I have that tired feeling and can not eat, but after taking two or three bottles. of Hood's Sarsaparilla I always feel like a dif ferent person and I advise every one needing a tonic to give this medicine a fair triah" ' James Hey, 3070 Am ber St..

YES. 321. NO. Abstract and Suggestions. The purpose of this amendment Is to take from the state any power of regu lation or control over the subjects re ferred to in the amendment. We think this would be unwise. Voters are advtaed to vote NO. SINGLE TAX AMENDMENT. 322. YES. 323. NO. SusTsre.ttoit.. . This amendment is revolutionary In the extreme. Its purpose is to cast upon real estat; substantially all the burden of taxation, and would completely change the system now and heretofore in effect In this state. No such radical measure should be supported by the people with out the fullest and most careful consid eration. In view of the purely specula tive and theoretical reasons advanced In its, favor, the uncertainty of its action and the fact that but limited time has been given for Its consideration, we feel H would be extremely unwise to adopt this amendment. Voters are advised to vote 0. TO PROVIDE FOR CHOOSING JURORS AND FOR INDICT MENT BY GRAND JURY. 334. 'Yes. 335. No. Abstraet aad Snaaatlonn. We believe that experience has demon strated that indictments should only be found by a grand jury. The only argu ment urged in favor of the present meth od by which a District Attorney can file an information against a man for any crime is because it is cheaper. In our opinion it will not do to weigh the ex penditure of money against fundamental principles. Voters are advised to vote YES. INCREASING POWERS OF PORT OF PORTLAND. 338. YES. 339. NO. Abstract aad Sngsrestloss. The objects and purposes of the amend ment are to authorize the Port of Port land to establish and maintain an effi cient . towage and pilotage service upon the Columbia River bar and upon the rivers between Portland and the sea. The act gives the Port of Portland the power to levy a tax not exceeding one quarter of one mill for the purpose of carrying into effect the general purposes of the act. It is expected that the ser vice will be self-sustaining, and that the tax. other than the tax for the retire ment of bonds and paying interest, will be levied only when a deficit is likely to occur. The bill alms, through the instrumen tality -of the Port of Portland, to provide an adequate, prompt and efficient ser vfbe between Portland and the sea, and Is in the interest of the city.
