12 THE SUNDAY OBEGOXIAX, PORTLAXD, MAY 1. 1910. CHURCHES FAMED MRS ARCHITECT Charge That Contractors Combine to Hold Up Prices Called Hallucination. REPLY MADE TO EUSTER Builders Often Pocket Losses Cheer fully, SajS'A. Jr. Kaber Pas tor Attributes Part of Waste to Building Committees. When Rev. rr. W. T. Blister, pastor cf Sunnystda Methodist Episcopal Church, declared in an interview in The Oreponlan that contractors make Kt-oss overcharges on church buildings, he caused a sensation In building cir cles. A. H. Faber, a Portland archi tect, yesterday issued a statement in which he denied in strong terms every accusation made by Rev. Dr. Euster. Rev. Dr. Euster, in turn, insisted that, after having: built several large utone churches in the course of his long pastorate, and having made that his Rpectal business, he knew what hewas talking about. and defied Architect Faber to disprove a single statement made by him. "I do not blame architects for de fending their own business," said Rev. Dr. Kuster, replying to Architect Faber"s statement, but I do blame them for forming combinations with contractors that are detrimental to church enter prises and for allowing contractors so many 'extras.' " Pastor and Committee Differ. The controversy began over the ac tion of the quarterly conference of Sunnyslde Methodist Church last Tues day night in passing, at the request of the building committee, a resolution railing for a new pastor to take Rev. Dr. Euster's place. Owing to differ ences that have arisen between the pastor and committee of seven mem bers of the church, the big new stone church edifice under course of con struction at East Thirty-fifth and East Tamhill streets is not. making t much progress. Defending himself in an interview. Rev. Dr. Euster said that one reason why the project was being held up by the committee-was that "graft" of con tractors entered into the affair. The attention of Architect Faber having been called to the interview with Dr. Euster. he issued the follow ing statement yesterday: "While newspaper controversies are to bo deprecated, the direct charge by the pastor of the Sunnyside Methodist Church that Portland church con tractors are grafters and given to gross overcharges in their church work is not to be passed without de nial by one familiar with the facts. "In my relation with them and I have met them in the erection of three of Portland's largest churches their charges have been uniformly less than In corresponding work upon resi dences; and not only that, they have contributed generously in actual money or its equivalent toward the building fund. "The gentleman may he wise In Ills day and generation, or his own con ceit, but it takes considerable more than philosophy totouild a church. He Is unhappy in his reference to the Methodist Church South. No claim has ever been made byyanybody that this church cost $90,000 that it is wcrth that, no experienced builder will deny. Mr. Euster's claim that he could build it for $30,000 is positively silly, and on a par with his statement relative to opalescent glass. There is no art glass firm in this city which will charge in excess of 75 cents for such glass, unless in intricate metal de signs; while I have known as high as $10 a foot to be paid for art glass work, and thought it was cheap at that. "The charges that contractors .are robbing the churches would be laugh able, if it were not so ungenerous. Did the Phoenix Stone- Company rob the Methodist Church South when it fur nished all the stone for that building for less than the charge for freight and quarrying, and topped it off by an absolute gift of 100 tons of stone? Did Harry Bingham, the stonemason, rob them when he charged less than half the usual prices for stone-cutting and mason work? Did the Inman-Poul-sen Company and Portland Lumber Company overcharge them by doubling the usual discounts? Did Nottingham & Company oppress them by charging less than they did on any of my resi dence work and then making a liberal casn donation besides? " Loss Assumed Gracefully. "Not one of the contractors or ma terial men on that entire work .but complied cheerfully with the plans and specifications and did not seek to slight the work, but, if they met with a loss, assumed it gracefully and fin ished their contracts. "So it has been with all the other church work with which I have been connected and it is due to our Port land people that this refutation of robbery' be made. The statement that there is a combination to hold up the prices in this class of work is noth ing short of an hallucination and needs no comment." "After a man has built a number of large stone churches," said Rev. Dr. Euster, "and has come into close con tact for years with contractors and architects, it is useless to try to tell him such things as Mr. Faber states in his interview. In many places it is Impossible to build a church without entering int'o a combine, whereby there will be fixed a margin of from $3000 to $10,000 profit, t No matter which con tractor gets the work, this margin will be divided between his rivals and him self. In my book on "The Philosophy of Church-Building,' I point out . all of these things and make the way clear for churches to build without being robbed in ths manner. Pastor Renews Charges. "As proof of what I say, I will state thaWflve leading ministers of Chicago have quit . their pastorates and have formed an organization to furnish everything needed for use in church buildings at about half cost of the reerular catalogue prices quoted by out side concerns. As to what Mr. Faber says about the South Methodist Church, no one but the pastor of that churcb knows what it cost, but it can be dupli cated for $30,000. It is of stone, simi lar to that being used in Sunnyside Church, but our churoh has a full base ment and it has not. I only know that the newspapers of the city and the Pacific Christian Advocate have pub lished that it cost $90,000. Centenary Methodist Episcopal Church cost $86. 000 and can be constructed anew and even better in many respects for $30, 000, and I would guarantee to do it. "One thing which makes a church costly is when a 'building committee delays its construction and when it Is allowed to drag along. That was the case with the South Methodist proj ect, and our own building is being per mitted by the building committee to drag." GIRL AIDS WOOER Aged Mother Fights Alleged Enticer of Daughter. MAID PROTESTS HER LOVE "White Slave" Case Arises In Fed eral Court 'When Al Xathan, As . torla Bartender, Is on Trial. Letters Tell of 'Trafficking.' With her aged mother testifying that Al Nathan, Astoria bartender, had vis ited their Canadian home and enticed Hazel Morrison to a life -of shame, the daughter yesterday stood before Com missioner Hamilton, of the United States Court, and protected Nathan in the transaction as far as she could. Miss Morrison protested her love for the man, who is accused of having become a professional procurer and enticing her away from home for Immoral pur poses. Given a hearing In his home town, where Nathan Is employed by the Rich mond saloon, the prisoner was held un der a bond of $5000, and, being unable to secure it. was brought to the Mult nomah County Jail. Girl Comes of Good Family. Hazel Morrison comes from a highly respected family in Canada. Her mother, whose name is withheld, testi fied that Nathan appeared at their home in March of this year, and was introduced by the daughter as an in surance agent and business man from the States. On March 31 Nathan and the girl decided to return to Oregon, where Miss Morrison assured her mother that she had been promised em ployment. The mother stated that she did not suspicion the relations of the pair un til she ascertained that but one state room had been engaged for the pas sage on the Vancouver boat. Protest ing against the arrangement, the moth er was unable to prevent the trip. On arriving in Oregon the pair went directly to Astoria, where the girl be came a member of the "red light" dis trict. Chief Immigration Inspector Barbour brought the complaint against Nathan under the recent act by Congress de signed to suppress the white slave traf fic. Should Nathan be indicted by the grand Jury and convicted In the United States Court, the penalty which may be Inflicted is from fiVe to ten years on McNeil s Island. Bundle of Letters In Evidence. In the evidence Introduced at the hearing was a bundle of letters found In possession of Nathan, and which were written in a most familiar strain by managers of disorderly houses throughout the Northwest, and in which Nathan was asked to furnish "good-looking girls." The letters were admitted over the protest of Attorney Clyde Fulton, defending Nathan. An unmarked exhibit of the hearing was the little son of the Morrison girl. Three years of age, raised by his grandmother, innocent of what was go ing on about him, the bright little youngster accompanied his mother to the County Jail, where she is held as a witness. Miss Morrison will be taken to Se attle today, and will be held there by immigration officers until the date of Nathan's trial. OILED 'STREETS DISLIKED Woman Prefers Dust Laid by Sprinkling-Cart. PORTLAND, April 29. (To the Editor.) Most Portland residents submit to oiled streets, and why? This is a question which not a few people have been dis cussing for the past week, and in no very complimentary terms of- those who are responsible for the abominable con dition the residence portions of the city will soon be In, anent the oiling of the streets instead of sprinkling, as hereto fore. "Cheaper than sprinkling" Is the reason thus far given to those who have pro tested, but is the cheapest thing always the best? By no means. We can always buy rotten eggs for a cent or two less than fresh ones, and goodness knows, we get enough rotten ones at the highest prices. Thus It is with street sprinkling. We are paying enough in rentals for pure and clean street-sprinkling, and feel that It Is a rank Injustice to have our house hold goods ruined with the vf-smelling grease now being poured in front of our doors, simply because it might be cheaper, and to 'whom, pray? The landlords, doubtless; but If a tenant should ask to have his rent lowered, would his request be grafted? Not by any means! He would be curtly told to vacate, as there would be plenty others willing to pay the price. Not for one mo ment would the landlord consider that he owes his well-filled "coffers" largely to the poor tenants who pay him a goodly share of their hard earnings In order to have even a temporary home, and then to have what little they can call their own, besmirched and ruined by the vile, black oil which is sure to fee tracked by feet into the houses and the carpets ruined. Putting the matter fairly and squarely, how many of those who are in any way responsible for the decree in favor of oil ing the streets, would suffer their-own homes to be ruined by the practice? We are not all like Millet's "Man With the Hoe." Though injustice is" forced upon us for a time, we will not always submit to it as did the "plodders" repre sented In Millet's picture. MRS. N. C P.
