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.
