4 THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX. FGRIXAJfD. SEPTEMBER 21. 1913. CHURCH IS BLOCKED ON PLANS TO GUILD Incorporation Clause Is Bar to Use of Taylor-Street Site for Other Purposes. CONGREGATION MAY SPLIT JJ embers Admit Amendment of Old Articles Unlikely Grace Metho dists Expected to Return Former Place ot Worship to In the articles of Incorporation of the First Methodist Episcopal Church, known for years as the Taylor-Street ' Church, has been found a long-forgotten clause which sets forth that Its property at Third and Taylor streets shall never be used for other than church purposes. This has caused a halt in the propect of the recently combined Taylor-Street and Grace , Methodist Episcopal congregations to build a new church edifice at Twelfth and Taylor streets. In fact, it is admitted by members high in the affairs of the church that the discovery of this provision makes the building of the proposed new edi fice for the members of -the combined churches extremely unlikely. To amend the articles of incorporation a three- fourths vote of members present and voting on any proposed amendmen would be necessary by law, and so much oDDosltion to the building proj ect has developed that this la regarded as almost Impossible. Bishop Must Approve Division, In such an event, the separation of the present First Church into its com ponent parts and the return of those from Grace Church to their former place of worship and Independent status, is considered a probability. Any such action, however, would be bud Ject to the approval of Bishop R. J Cooke, of the Western Oregon Con ference. The quarterly conference of the First Church, composed of trustees and other officers of the church, about su in number, will hold a regular quarterly business meeting Monday night- It any action is taken to bring the amendment of the articles of Incorporation to vote, the initiative will have to come from this conference. The conference Itself could only au thorize the calling of a meeting of the congregation, at which the question - would be submitted to vote. Unless it should take such action, which is said to be doubtiul, although only a major ity vote would be required, the build ing project would be automatically killed. Cfcueatloa May Go to Conference. In that case, the disposition of the present combined congregation would go at once before the Western Oregon Conference, which begins a week s ses. pion at Eugene next Tuesday morning, . with Bishop Cooke presiding. On the other hand, if the conference rails a meeting ot the church member ship to vote, advertisements giving no tice to that effect . would .have to be published in the official county news paper at least two weeks prior to- the meeting. This is a requirement of law. At the subsequent meeting nothing less than a three-fourths' vote could pass any amendment. The clause In the articles of Incor poration that has made all this trouble was not found until a week ago, al though It lias been a year since the congregations united with the expec tation of building a church large enough for both. Imposing- Structure Planned. The plan as then outlined and since partly carried out was for the mem bership of Grace Methodist Episcopal . Church to combine with that of the Taylor-street church, under the Rev. Benjamin Young as pastor. The com bined membership is about-1600, that . of the Taylor-street church previously having been close to 1200. The new church was to be erected on the site of the Grace Church building, at Twelfth and Tamhill streets. An imposing structure was planned to cost approximately $150,000. Of this amount. $100,000 was expected to be realized from the sale of all or part of the Taylor-street property at Third and Taylor streets, 100x120 feet. One pro posal was to sell a portion of this prop erty for $100,000. and on the remainder ' to build apartments or a business struc ture, giving the church a permanent. In-' come. Discord Emphatically Denied. Were' the present Taylor - street church torn down, either a new church building would have to be erected there or the valuable, lot .Would remain. Idle. -as the case now stands. While It is emphatically, denied that there is any discord in the present com blned- First Church membership, it Is freely admitted that even before the finding of this prohibitory .clause. strong opposition had arisen- to the en tire new church plan. Nevertheless, $36, 000 toward the $150,000 fund desired had been pledged in the church. Now it Is frankly conceded by many members that further consideration' of the project is impossible. Gj F.. Johnson, a member of the church, said there Is no bitterness in the opposition, but that it is due to honest difference of opinion. EHsha A. Baker and Judge J. W Bell acting as a committee to prepare any amendments to me articles of incorpo ration mat might be necessary, found the provision which has resulted in the present situation. shirt manufacturer, won a suit for Attorney Joseph W. Schulman and saved Mr. Edelman from being fined. A few weeks ago Attorney Schulman "filed suit for the hand of Miss Bessie Edelman In marriage. Now it hap pened that on the very evening that the lawyer popped the question Mr. Edelman had been Informed by Mo torcycle Policeman Fred Amort that he was driving; his automobile at a speed or 2o miles an hour in Ogden avenue. Mr. Edelman- had just returned from the police station when Attorney Schulman "filed" his suit, and the manufacturer, according to his mood. replied with an emphatic demurrer. When the attorney learned of the charge against Edelman he asked to be retained as counsel. "And the fee?", asked the manufac turer. "Your daughter, if I win the case." "Agreed." Then the lawyer engaged Attorney Cupid to assist in the defense. The "fee" accompanied her father and the attorney to court and giggled udlblv when the manufacturer ex plained that he "wasn't watching his speedometer." The smile soon faded, however, when Judge Fry said there was nothing to do but to impose fine. Whereupon Miss Edelman edged her way to Assistant State s Attorney James Dooley and whispered in his ear. "Your honor, the state does not in sist on a fine in this case," said the prosecutor. "There is too much at stake." Them he explained to the court Judge Fry smiled. "In that event I will not fine Mr. Edelman," he said. "Instead I shall enter an order paroling him to his prospective son-in-law, Attorney Sohul. man." And Attorney Cupid chuckled. It was his first case In the speeders' court, and he had won. LAFFERTY ACTS ON SOCIALIST'S ABUSE Investigation of Packing Plan Strike Ordered by Depart ment of Justice. E. F. BUSE IS COMPLAINANT AUTO TRIP ENDS AT JAIL CANADIANS' ARREST FOLLOWS SALE OF "SCSPECT" CAR. Mayor Makes Statement Criticising Representative for Dignifying Diatribe and Censuring Got ' ernor for Taking Part. Acting upon statements made In a rambling diatribe written by Elmer F. Buse, a Socialist agitator. Representa tive Lafferty has started a Federal in vestigation of the recent strike trou bles at the Oregon Packing plant on the East Side. The investigation stirred up a hornets' nest Friday when Mayor Albee submitted to United States District Attorney Reames a written statement in which Mr. Laf ferty and Governor West are criticised: the Representative for giving dignity to such a letter and the Governor for the part he took In the strike. The letter was written by Buse Au gust 19. after the strike troubles at the packing; plant had been settled and even after the trouble with Industrial Workers of the World agitators, which followed, were practically at an end. I Receiving the letter from Buse, Mr. Detectives Find Machine Answering Description of One Stolen in British Columbia. Back of a. charge of vagrancy, on which "A. J. Sebastian. Dr. B. A. Bryne and G. Hogg were jodged in the City Jail Friday night, lies the story or a trip from Vancouver, B. C. to fortiano in an automobile alleged to have been stolen by Sebastian some time ago from John A. Tees, of Vancouver, the expedi tion ending in this city by the sale last night of the car to Dr. Charles Martin, who has offices at Third and AnkeOy streets. The arrests were made oy Detectives Swennes and Hill on information re ceived from the Vancouver police Wed nesday, which said that Sebastian stole the car from John A. Tees, of Vancouver. Swenness and Hill found an automo bile answering the description of the stolen car. Dr. Martin, who was taK Laffetry took the matter up with the Department of Justice in Washington, D. C, and an investigation was ordered. The whole matter was submitted to United States District Attorney Reames in Porland. who is conducting the investigation. ing; the "suspect" machine from a gar age, at once exhibited t bill of sale, showing that he had given A. J. Se bastian $200 and a diamond pin tor the car. G. Hogg, who Is the mechanician of the party, was found at the Broadway Hotel by the detectives, and Sebastian nd Dr. Byrne were arrested on me street a little later. Sebastian, who has a gold medal as champion one-mile circular track auto mobile driver for Canada, said he bought the car in Vancouver for $3000, paying $450 down. The fact that he had sold it in Portland for a consid eration of about $280 he explained by saying; -that the party-wanted to get to San Francisco, where ne naa a mort gage on another car, which he pro posed to secure. Dr. Byrne said that the party pro posed totravel through the country, touching at towns not on the railroad and delivering stereoptlcon lectures on the white slave traffic. Dr. Byrne also wears a gold medal for winning a lyceum oratorical cham pionship, his .subject being "Baby In cubation." .AUTO DELUGED BY FRUIT William Xagel, In Car, Hits Wagon Laden With Ripe Edibles. William Xagel. superintendent of the . East Portland Wire & Iron Works, was arrested Friday night for reckless driv lng by Patrolmen Gouldstone and Mut ter.'

With the campaign to secure a bonus for a Portland-New York steamship line, to be placed in operation by 1915 barely begun, subscriptions of $1000 each were pledged by A. II. Dcvers, C. Jackson, A. L. Mills, of the First National Bank, and F. H. Ransom, of the Eastern-Western Lumber Company Friday. Members of the joint committee from the various commercial organizations f Portland, which indorsed the plan Thursday night, and who will be active n the campaign to raise the necessary IOO.Oim bonus, will make a systematic canvass of the business concerns of the city.

Captain Richard Chilcott has been working on the plan for years and in the past few months has spoken on it before all of the commercial bodies of the city., urging their support of the movement. GERMAN MINISTER TO SUE Publisher Accuses Department Offl clal'with "Leak."- BERLIN. Sept. 20. According to the Socialist Vorwaerts, Lieutenant-Gen-eral von Falkenhayn, the new Minister for War,' Is to bring an action against a journalist named Sebaldt. who is al leged to have libeled one of his perma nent officials, Herr Selle, a privy coun cillor. - - - - - Sebaldt wrote various articles in which ho alleges Belle gave informs tion with regard to 'the Intended pur chase of extensive military exercising grounds near -Zossen by the war de partment and that the Information thus given enabled several owners of land to obtain enormous sums at the ex pense of the country. Jn one case land was sold to the war department for, it was said, five times Its real value. Sebaldt alleges that Herr Selle was on friendly terms with several specu lators who made largo sums out of the transactions. . "LIAR"' STARTS DUEL WAR Premier Battles With Marquis In Buda-Pesth Casino. VIENNA. Sept. 20. The Hungarian Premier, Count Tisza, fought a duel with the Marquis George Pallavlclnl at the Buda-Pesth casino.. They used heavy swords and fought till both were slightly wounded. The quarrel arose because the Marquis heard Count Tisza say the word "liar" and believed it referred to him. Count Tisza is the best duellist in the country and has fought more duels than any Hungarian living. His sight has become impaired of late years and he has been operated on for cataract. In spite of this the veteran duellist fought nine bouts today. Mayor Asked for Report. - Several days ago Mayor Albee was asked by a special agent from the Dis trict Attorney's office to make a state ment of the affair. This was the first the Mayor had heard of the investiga tion. In reply he prepared the state ment, which was mailed to Mr. Reames yesterday. This was, in part, as fol lows: Scarcely had I been seated at my desk on the first day in office when I was of ficially advised of the situation at this plant. I immediately set about to set information, personally and through the Chief of Po ll fo. It was but a short time thereafter that I WS obliged to order police to be sta tioned at the scene, as a clash was immi nent between the strikers and those who naa accepted employment in their stead; the managers were demanding protection for these people, as well as for their piant. For reasons which are unknown to me, but which I suspect were political, outside agitators from the I. W. W.s voluntarily in jected themselves and took charge of the strikers. Because of their actions, lncitr ing violence and rioting and because of the foul language employed by them. It be came necessary In order to preserve the pub lie peace, for me to Increase the police cor don. This I did, solely to protect property and to make certain the enforcement of the laws. Governor Is Censured. While I was working in a most friendly manner, attempting to help . the striking women to obtain some results that would inure to their advantage, offering to go with them to the W elfare Commission, then In session, and urge a higher wage and bet ter conditions, and at a time when it seemed probable' that 1 would succeed in that er fort. Governor West came to Portland and declared that he would settle the strike, and nroceeded to address the strikers and the interlopers on the vacant lot which I had set aside for speaking. He also called a meeting, to be held in the City Council chamber, at which he proposed to . bring about a settlement of the difficulties In his own way. I was not present. He did not, however, adjust the strike, although he held his meeting nearly all day, and he left for the State capitoi. wnere ne gave out an Interview in which he said that. In his opinion, settling strikes should be left to the local authorities, and as I agreed with the Governor that the "local authorities should take care of their own business, I proceeded to take up the strike where I had left it before his excellency came, always endeavoring to obtain increased remunera tion for the factory workers, added to oet ter working conditions. I found, however, that matters had got much worse mean while, and despite my most earnest efforts, was unable to bring about the desired results. '. The first trouble of a serious nature oc curred the afternoon following the visit of the Governor, when a large crowd of men and women, led by the I. w. W.s and loud mouthed agitators from here and abroad, refused to move away from the street in front of the packing plant when ordered to do so by the. police, saying that they had been told by the Governor that the city authorities had no right to move them and for them not to move. Profane, abusive and very vulgar lan guage became so bad that I deemed It my solemn duty to suppress all speaking, temporarily. This I did, forbidding any one to speak In the streets at any point, either near the plant or in the congested business district on the West Side. When I decided to order the temporary cessation, of alt street speaking, except on the plaza blocks, only three blocks distant from the postof f Ice, I Issued a public ap peal and warning to the people of the city not to congregate in danger zones or to stop to listen, should any one attempt to speak, and used every precaution to protect the -general puDuc Free Speech Declared Not Factor. At no time did the right of free speech enter into the question, ea far. as. I .was concerned, for I am a firm believer In free speech and so long as I occupy the post of Mayor, It shall be free; but I will not suffer the flag to be insunea, neitner win- t toier ate profane, obscene or abusive language. In conclusion I wish to state that the measures used by me, as Mayor, brought about a subsequent ending of the strike and I firmly believe my every move was Justi fied and warranted by the conditions then prevailing. Since then the city has been entirely quiet. Buse in nis letter declares that practical reign of terror exists in this city. The employers association, with their puppets. Mayor Albee, Sheriff Word and Governor West, are respon sible for the present chaos. Among a variety of other charges it s asserted that "Innocent. law-abldinK and defenseless men, women and chil dren, have been needlessly, deliberately and coldbloodedly clubbed, blackjacked and beaten up by members of the police and Sheriff s force." . r that there is a shortage In the supply. The enormous quantities which have been Imported in recent years have brought about a scarcity at the source, and it is increasingly difficult to get good. long, fine hair. "About SOO.OOO pounds of human hair are Imported into England from Eu rope yearly and 1.000,000 from China," said a representative of a hair mer chant, "at prices ranging as high as $260 per pound for ordinary colors. For pure white hair, for which there is a great demand, I got a few days ago $o00 a pound. "The best white hair comes from the south of France, Italy and Bohemia. There is a great demand for it for wigs, toupes. and transformations for old men and women, who like to have a more luxuriant crop of silver hair than nature has allowed them. All the fine hair Is European. That from China is very coarse." "The perfection with which wigs are now made,' said the costumiers, ac counts for the tremendous increase in the use of false hair. Now that false hair is not obvious, the prejudice against It is dying. There are also signs of more baldness, especially among. town dwellers. "It seems as if vanity among old men were Increasing, for the number who wear beautiful, silvery locks of other people s hair is growing. Elderly women do not aim at golden hair so much, but recognize that there is noth ing so becoming as really genuine beau- tiiui wnite hair.'

LONDON, Sept. 20. (Special.) Com menting on the growth of Internation alism, the London Times says that such ceremony as was witnessed at The Hague when the Palace of Peace was formally dedicated would have delight ed no one more than those generous and aspiring spirits who, in the middle of the 19th century, dreamed of "the parliament of man, the federation of the world." It was almost the fashion in the '50s and the '60s for statesmen, in France particularly, to "proclaim" the United States of Europe." Victor Hugo em braced the ideal with an enthusiasm that had a ready response among the Republicans of the Continent. Men spoke openly and joyously of a time when the frontiers of Europe would be abolished and the peoples of all na tions would fraternize and co-operate In unity. Nor has the vision even yet wholly do- parted. Only a few years ago the Em peror William held up the "yellow peril" as a danger that would one day force the various nations of Europe to combine for self-protection; Count Goluchowski, In the opening year of the century, pointed to the agricultural and industrial competition of the United States of America as a menace that could only be successfully resisted if the powers of. the Old World agreed upon a common fiscal policy; and, more recently still, M. Leroy Beaulieu has Insisted on the economic necessity of some such development. The point to note is that in each case the prescription was the same some sort of union or federation or compact among the powers of Europe in the presence of an emergency affect ing them all alike. The idealism of the '50s, had they lived till today and been able to take note of these and similar phenomena and to assist at an occasion such as that at The Hague, might easily be misled into thinking that Europe was ripe for the fulfillment of their dream. There is hardly a political problem In any country today that is not repro duced in another, uazlng on these porr tents, an -enthusiast of the middle of the 19th century, could he but see them, might well exclaim that his work was accomplished and that Europe stood' on the verge of becoming a united com monwealth. He would, of course, be entirely wrong.' There is still one great counter-tendency pulling against the realization of his dreams the senti ment of patriotism. It is one of the paradoxes of our times that as the world of science and literature, finance and philosophy grows smaller and more uniform, each unit or group of nations seems to grow more self-conscious and more eager to maintain Its own indi viduality.

So great is the demand for human hair in this country CRAIG FUNERAL IS TODAY Masons Will Have Charge of Services for Prominent Citizen. Funeral services for James Craig, who- died from an- attack of heart fail ure in the office of the Portland Com mercial Club Thursday, will be held at o'clock today . from the Masonic Temple under the auspices of the Ma sons, of which order he was a mem ber. The burial will be In the River view Cemetery. His nephew, Harold Craig, arrived in Portland from Silver ton yesterday. Mr. Craig had Innumerable friends and admirers in Portland, and large floral- wreaths have been ordered for the funeral by the O.-W. R. & N. Com pany, the Commercial Club, the South- en r Pacific and other organizations. Mr. Craig was born in Carrick Fer gus, in the County Antrim, Ireland, in the shadow of the historic Castle of Carrick Fergus, and In his childhood learned the flax industry in the coun try in which It has reached its highest development. Coming to Oregon about 40 years ago, he became convinced that this was the ideal place to develop a , flax industry In the United States, and since that time he gave unremitting ef forts toward arousing interest In Ore gon flax. Not only was he active in behalf of his flax hobby, but he was one of Oregon's most enthusiastic advertisers. lumbia River and urging that 160 acres of land be purchased in Mock's bottom for dock sites.- . MRS. HOLT HANGS HERSELF Danghter of ex-President of Xew Haven Commits Suicide. STAMFORD. Conn., Sept. 9. Mrs. Helen Bulkley Holt, daughter of Jus tus L. Bulkley, for many years presi dent of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad, committted suicide. It was learned today, at the sanitarium of Dr. E. H. Barnes, of Stamford, by hanging. The Bulkley lamlly has been spend ing the Summer at its home in Rocky Hill, near Hartford. Mrs. Holt was taken to the sanitarium three weeks ago. She was then suffering from chronic melancholia, wun perioos ot irreat depression. The only comment that Dr. Barnes would make on the death today was that Mrs. Holt had hanged herself to fh doorknob of her room while her nnrsft was absent. The act. the phy sician said, was the natural result of her nervous condition. Mrs. Holt was married to Dorsay Ives Holt, of New York, April 17, 1901 admirable hotels and restaurants, has established its reputation throughout the civilized wOTld as a pleasure city, and now the beauty ot the British Isles Is being discovered. The cleanliness of the British inns Is admitted, but of food the writer says: "The main fault is the Inability of the British inkeeper to make the best use of the resources at his threshold. He has under his hand poultry, vegetables and dairy products not to be excelled anywhere; but he only knows three ways of cooking an egg and one way of cooking vegetables. Fish he usual. ly regards not as food, but as part of the trimmings of a banquet, "As regards high charges, if a man's livelihood depends on a season natur ally short and which a spell ot bad weather may practically annihilate, he is forced to make hay while the sun shines." He suggests an adaptation of the con tinental system of pooling businesses by a small group of proprietors with hotels In different parts of the country, working the hotels In the off season with a "skeleton crew." INNKEEPERS POOR COOKS Only Three Ways Known for Pre paring Eggs, Says Traveler. LONDON, Sept. 20. Suggestions for Improving the country inns of Britain, about which a controversy has been raised, are made by Francis Stopford, an extensive traveler. London, he says, thanke largely to Its MOTOR CUTOUTS BARRED Oak Park VlUage Board Would Al leviate Annoyance. CHICAGO. Sept. 15. An ordinance prohibiting muffler cutouts on automo biles and motorcycles to alleviate an noyance from loud exhausts was passed by the village board of Oak Park. Com plaints have been received from so many citizens that the ordinance was drafted 'and passed with, little or no opposition. Another complaint against motor ve hicles was made at the meeting by H. E. Decatur, a citizen of the suburb, who declared motorists frequently run upon sidewalks, damaging parking spaces, shade trees and endangering lives. ' An ordinance covering this will be presented at the next meeting. Thin Folks Who Would Be Fat Increase in Weight Ten Pounds or More ALBINA IND0RSES BRIDGE Grandstand or Raised Seats Desired at Peninsula Park. The North Albina Improvement As sociation, S. L. Osborne president, has resumed activity for the Fall and Win. ter, and at the meeting this week resolutions were adopted indorsing the proposed bond issue for the erection of the interstate bridge across the Co- A Physician's Advice . "I'd certainly give most anything to be able to fat up a few pounds and stay that way," declares every excessively thin man or woman. Such result Is not imuossible. despite past failures. Thin people are victims of mal-nutrition, a condition which prevents tne tatty eie ments of food from being taken up by the blood as they are when the powers of nutrition are normal. Instead of get ting Into the blood, all the fat and flesh-producing elements stay In the Intestines until they pass from the body as waste. To correct this condition and to pro duce a healthy, normal amount of fat the nutritive processes must be artifi cially supplied with the power which nature has denied them. This can best be accomplished by eating a Sargol tablet with every meal. Sargol is a scientific combination of six of the best strength-giving, fat-producing elements known to the medical protes cinn Tnlrpn with meals, it mixes with the food and turns the sugars and) starches into rich, ripe nourishment for the tissues and blood and its rapid effect is remarkable. Reported gains of from 'ten to twenty-five pounds in a single month are by no means infre quent. Yet its action is perfectly nat ural and absolutely harmless. Sargol Is sold by Woodard, Clarke & Co. and other good druggists everywhere, and every package contains a guarantee of weight Increase or money back. Caution While Sargol has produced remarkable results in the treatment of nervous indigestion and general stom ach disorders, it should not, owing to its remarkable flesh-producing effect, be used by those who are not willing to increase their weight ten pounds or more.
