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.

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

mobile driver for Canada, said he
bought the car in Vancouver for $3000,

had sold it in Portland for a consid
eration of about $280 he explained by
saying; -that the party-wanted to get

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.

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

"The main fault is the Inability of the

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. Adv.
