Wise, rabbi of Temple Beth Israel, returned Wednesday from New York, where he has been at- . tending the Conference of Religions of that Mty. which is a branch of the Interna tional Conference of Religions. Dr. Wise spoke at the Temple last night on "The Present Crisis In Morals; An Keho of the New York Conference of Re ligions." The subject was divided into four crises In business. In politic, in re ligion and in the family, nr. Wise dealt lengthily and Instructively on each topic. He said in part: "Today the world is ruled by enlight ened " selfishness. Thera ia top great a tendency in businessTor men to work too much for their own good and too little for tha good of. others. ..The crisis in busi ness wlU c.ome .Wben man- 1st business be the great everything In their lives. "The very men who make business the "one great thing In their lives and neglect their families, except to Bupply them with money, are the men whose fortunes are" vw-y often squandered after their death by dissolute sons, whom the guiding hand of a true father would have brought up to be good men and useful cltlsens. There are tens of thousands of men who are nothing more than living, calculating ma chines; they are cash registers of their business. The man who never looks above the binding of his books is a slave and not a man." LESS THAN THREE DAYS. Tlma, Portland to Chicago, via O. R. 6V N., la Seventy Hours. The popular O. R. & N.

A United States law provides that each Im migrant Shall hav upon his arrival here not lesa than 130 In gold coin. In order to protect Itself before allowing the Japanese to take passage on Its liners, the company requires them to forward the specified amount to Portland. Upon their arrtvaTIt la returned to them. This precaution Is taken In order to be doubly sure that , the "little brown men" will not land here penniless.

While the Japanese were being returned their money In the company's offices on the corner of Third and Washington streets a large orowd gathered on the sidewalk to witness the spectacle. Some remarked that the O. R. A N. Company's payday had passed for this month, and that they did not understand the pro ceedings at all. Others observed that certain construction work had been aban doned for tha winter, and that the men were being given their time. A group of white laboring men, who were looking Intereatedly on, said that It Is not hard to arrive at a aatisfactory conclusion of tha mooted question. WANT WHITE MEN. "I will tell .you how It ia" explained one of them. "Tha O. R. & N. Is getting good and tired of cheap Oriental labor. I have heard such hints drop from the officials time and again. They are now carrying Into execution plans which I firmly believe they practically decided upon some months ago. When they get rid of them IMS no doubt their Intention to put white jhen in their places at once. Now la tha opportune time to tsckle them for a Job. I think I will ask them for a position tomorrow." The various opinions being voiced be gan to get interesting, and the reporter's curiosity was aroused. CURIOSITY SATISFIED. "Is thla payday?" he Inquired of the clerks who were handling the half crowns and sovereigns. "No." was the answer. "We are Just paying them back the money we col lected from them fielore they took pas sage on the Indravelll." From here the most of the new arrivals from Japan wil Igo to California.
