Address at First Christian
Church Opened Campaign
Will Demand that Officers Do
Their Full Duty,1
Taking to task the office ri of Portland
who he says neglect to enforce the laws
they are aworn to uphold, denouncing the
wicked and what he termed ahatneleaaly
open condition of municipal Iniquity and
appealing to the people of thla city to
rait off the yoke and demand the cloa
ting of aaloona. gambling houaea and
the brothel. Rev. O. L. Tufta, recently
appointed superintendent of the Oregon
Anti-Saloon League, opened hie cam-
'palgn In Portland last night.
He took hla text from the fifth chap
ter of Isaiah, 23d verae, and read: "Woe
unto them which Justify the wicked for
a reward.
Thla he interpreted to mean: "Woe
unto those who justify the saloonkeeper
'for a license fee.
The speaker, who occupied the regu
' lar pulpit hour at the First Christian
Church, struck straight from the ahoul
der at the evils existing In this city, and
Mid:
arils of Portland.
'There are 841 saloons In Portland.
.A large majority of them, at least, run
even days of the week In open defiance
of the laws of the state.
These saloons are crowded with
young men from Eastern homes who
have come across the continent to help
build up here a great commonwealth.
. We owe a debt to those homes that have
parted with sons, to remove from these
sons, as far as possible, these pitfalls.
, "Not only are these young men
tempted to drink, but gambling and the
social evil are being carried on In a
lawless and. most braxen manner.
"lit company with a Christian mis
sionary of this city I visited a number
of these drinking establishments. Should
I relate what my own eyes saw of the
awful condition of affairs It would
. would startle you and arouse your in
dignation. While there are a large pro
portion of young men before me than
la found, perhaps, in most of the
churches, yet they are few in compart
son with those who are gathered In the
gambling and drinking rooms in the
.City.
"But I wish to deal chiefly with the
remedies ror these stupendous evils.
The Saloon Zteagne.
'The Anti-Saloon League Is only an
other name for the federated church.
flghting'the saloon in defense of its own
, rights, and seeking to overthrow kindred
evils. The churches heretofore have
been working within their own de
nomlnational lines. Now it Is proposed
to unite all the religions and temper
ar.ee forces of the state Into one grand
army against the foes of our common
wealth.
"It Is thus lnterdemnomlnational and
also interpartisan. The object is to
build up a temperance constituency
rather than a distinct party; to unite
all men who are willing to join issue
upon the one proposition, "the saloon
must go," and judging from the success
of thin movement In the states where

It should not succeed in Oregon.
"It Is the duty of the churches to op
pose the un-American saloon because:
"First It Is the great foe of the
church. There is, probably, no other
Institution that does more to withstand
the work of pastors and people than
the organized liquor traffic Many
young men who are brorught within
the pale of the church are decoyed into
the saloons and dragged down to ruin.
Destroy the saloon and you will remove
the great obstacle to the building up
of Christ's kinttdom on earth. Of the
8.000,000 young men In the United
States only about 5 percent of them are
members of any religious denomination;
76 ptroent of them, never enter the
walls of the sacred sanctuary. Where
are these young men? One hundred
thousand of them are in the jails and
prisons; 400,000 others have btwn In
carcerated, tieven-clghtha of the crimen
which brought these young men to penal
Instlutloris are traceable to . the drink
habit.
Saloon a National Foe.
"Second The saloon Ik the great foe
of the government We hear much of
the corruption of politics. This corrup
tion Is largely due to saloon Influence.
The solutes for the parties are often
prepared at the saloons. The men
elected to ofllce, largely Dy means of the
money and influence of thla traffic, are
expected to be Its servants and protec
tors. The welfare of our country de-
ponds upon a pure pallot. Thus the sa
loon, a corrupter of pure polities, the
opponent of good legislation and the en
forcement of laws antagonistic to Its
Interests, becomes the foe of a govern
ment established for the protection of
the best Interests of soclty.
"We believe In the supremacy oflaw.
One form of rebellion was put down In
the bloody war of the AO's and It be
comes the duty of every loyal cltlsen to
rank himself against this rebellious
spirit which can bo found rampant
within our own city."
Rev. Tufts came here three weeks
ago from Indianapolis. He represents
the Anti-Saloon League of America, or
ganised in 40 states and maintaining 125
workers in1 -the field.
"We aim to fight the evil through the
law." he said today. "There are 'good
laws on the Oregon statute books and
we mean to see them enforced and to
close saloons on Sunday. We will make
the demand upon the officers that they
enforce the law and If they refuse we
will put In officers who will do their
duty. This Is not a political machine I
am representing. It is an army which Is
fighting for the right. And wo will
fight In Portland until right prevails.
We believe in vigorous action and will
taks If
Rev. Tufts will speak tonight at Grace
Methodist Episcopal Church, discussing
municipal corruption.
I believe the gamblers should be
attended to first." he said.

THEY MARRY ANYHOW
In the northern Caucasus nearly half
the death rata of the Inhabitants is
caused by vendetta, and at least three
fourths of the vendetta cases are the re
sult of a curious marriage custom which
Is now decimating the population. The
native of those parts who wishes to take
unto himself a wife cannot arrange the
matter Jn the simple off-hand manner In
vogue In Western Europe by "popping
the question."
He must go home, sell his belongings.
end buy her fairly and squarely of her
parents, the price ranging from $175 to
$1,000. This la a costly custom in many
ways, for It is not every young man
who can afford to Invest such a large
sum in a wife, however accomplished.
What generally happens In such cases
Is that the Indigent candidate for the
order of Benedick induces a few stal
wart comrades to selxe the maiden and
carry her off.
What too often follows then may be
gathered from a case in point which
hn just takon placo In Sosslambek.
Bokayeff is the bridegroom's name, and
Noshkho Jhat of the girl of sweet 15
who had the misfortune to find favor In
hlo eyes. His pockets being empty he
persuaded three comrades to kidnap the
maid, whom he then took off to another
village as his wife.
But her father, on discovering her
whereabouts, had her sent back by the
police, and then demanded $150 for loss
of her services, as we should say.
Bokayeff. to whom the demand was
made, would not or could not pay. The
girl's father thereupon claimed that
sum from the bridegroom's companions,
who are equally liable. They admitted
the justice of his claim and called upon
Bokayeff to hand over the sum to them.
On his refusal they shot him dead., tltat
being the custom of the country, al
though daggers are also .allowed to take
the place of bullets.

Liberal Construction Given to
the Child Labor Law by the
Commission Apointed for Its
Enforcement,
The firebugs, whose mania seems to bs
the destruction of partially completed
dwellings, are still abroad in the city.
But for the prompt and efficient work
of the members' of Chemical Company
No. 4, two houses would have been
burned to the ground early this morn
ln.
At 1t:lt a. m. a, passing pedestrian
saw a light at the side of a residence
just completed at Eleventh and Fremont
streets. He summoned the firemen by
telephone and after a brisk fight of a
few minutes the blase was extinguished,
While the loss will probably not exceed
$50, one wall Of the building was badly
scorched.
Another new house, owned by a man
named . King, at Eleventh and Mason
streets, a few blocks away, was discov
ered on firs at t o'clock this morning.
For the second time the firemen wers
called from their slumbers. They found
the fire raging fiercely in the basement
but the flames were subdued after an
hour's work. The woodwork wss charred
and badly burned and It will taks at
least f 100 to repair the damage.
While the firemen found no special
evidence of incendiarism, the circum
stances were sufficiently suspicious to
warrant the conclusion that some one
had started the fires. The fact that both
wers In the same neighborhood and thit
thty occurred within so short a time of
ons another, lead to the supposition that
the same firebugs who have been operat
ing In various parts of the city are still
at work.

M. F. Brady, whose home Is at 510 not successful
Commercial street, while on his way
horns about 11:10 o'clock Saturday night,
happened to discover a light In. the base
ment of the new dwelling whleh he Is
erecting on Monroe street near Williams
avenue.
Suspecting that the house was on fire
Mr. Brady quickly entered by a base
ment window. The room was filled with
smoke while in the center biased a fierce

Mr. Brady succeeded In extinguishing
the names before any damags had been
done, -

As the owner entered the building he
saw a strange man escaps by one of the
other basement windows. On ths out
side the firebug joined another man, evi
dently his companion In crime.
That ths miscreant Intended to burn
the structurs was evident fof on ths
basement floor wers piled a large
quantity of shavings and pieces of
small wood. Ths fagots were placed at
a suitable place to set the entire build

At about the earns time Saturday night
fire destroyed a recently-completed
dwelling house at Thirteenth and A lns-
worth -streets. The residence was owned
by Mrs. Peter Jensen, who vacated It
following the death of her husband. That
the blase was of Incendiary origin is
shown by the fact that the lock on the
front door was broken. Ths house.
which was valued at $1,600, was totally
destroyed. It was Insured for $500.
A short time before Mr. Brady dis
covered the fire in bis dwelling two

it is the Intention to enforce the
child labor law to the very letter," said
Mrs. Millie R. Trumbull, secretary of
the Child Labor Commission, this morn
ing. "Section 1 specifies seven distinct
places wherein children, under 14 years
of age, shall hot be allowed to work at
any time. These are factories, stores.
workshops, telegraph, telephone or pub'
lie messenger service. At any other
places not enumerated In this section.
such as light employment on farms, the
members of the commission, at a special
meeting held Saturday night, decided to
allow children over 12 years of age to
work during vacation. But In order to
do so, they will have to make the proper
application to me, and upon Investiga
tion, if I find that the employment which
they are seeking Is not difficult or in
jurious to health, I shall Issue to them
the necessary-permits. -
"When school Is in session, however,
no child under 14 years of age will be
allowed to work at any kind of employ
ment. "Before the passage of the bill cre
ating this law it was discussed thor
oughly by the Senate Committee of th
Oregon Legislature in all Its various
phases, and the policy we are now adopt
ing was decided upon in the presence
and with the approval of all the princi
pal supporters of the Pleasure. As the
law stands, in my opinion, H. ts one of
the best child labor laws in the United
States."
Section 2 reads: "No child, under the
ago of 14 years, shall be employed in
any work, or form, for wages or
other compensation, to whomsoever
payable, during the hours when the
public schools of the town, district or
city in which he or she resides, are in
session."
A .liberal construction was placed
upon this section by the commission, Its
members deciding that they would be
carrying out the wishes of the general
public if children over 12 years of age
were permitted to secure light employ
ment during the school vacation period.
By carrying out this policy In a care
ful manner, they believe that more good,
results will follow than If they should
assume an arbitrary stand and forbid
the youths to work In - any capacity
whatever.
Mrs. Trumbull today Issued a permit
to a lS-vear-old girl to Work in the
Oregon Packing Company's plant in this
city. She flrs.t investigated and found
that the child would have only light em

(By John H. Harrison.)
BAN FRANCISCO, July IS. This
city Is richer In taxable property over
last year by $8,000,000, according to
the report filed by Assessor Washington
Dodge. The total tax roll Is placed at
$427,482,110, while last year the total
footed something over $419,000,000.
The Assessor says in his report that
much better feeling exists at present
between his department and the big
taxpayers, and he expresses the opinion
that taxes will be paid promptly th.j
year without recourse to litigation.
There has been collected over $100,000
In poll taxes this year, the largest
amount ever collected, and the city's
fees on the total amount reaches the
tidy sum of $16,000, which comes into
the treasury under existing law, form
erly the commission going to the Assessor.
The engineers of the Southern Pacific
have been at work down Santa Barbara
way for some weeks .Investigating and
surveying a route through - San Luis
Obispo Mountains for a cutoff on the
Coast line. It is stated -that a tunnel in
the mountains will effect a saving of
about two hours time on . the run be
tween this city and Los Angeles. The
present line takes a tortuous and heavy
grade courss over the mountains, com
pelllng slow time, but with the proposed
tunnel of over three miles,, the saving
may be secured.
The consolidation of the rival gas
companies a few days ago adds another
million or two to the bank account of
Claus Spreckles. The old gentleman has
lost none of his old-time financial vigor,
and beginning with the sugar reflnery
deal In Philadelphia some years ago he
has successfully maneuvered other big
deals netting vast profit until now peo
ple have come to the conclusion that he
is a regular Midas. Whether he starts
building a "rival" railroad or a "rival"
gas plant it is dollars to doughnuts that
when the price he has fixed for his en
terprise is offered absorption speedily
follows. The first publio notice coming
from the consolidated companies an
nounced an advance to a dollar for gas
hereafter, and the day of "six-bit light"
went glimmering.
The great American, game of "draw"
seems to be catching It all over the State
Just now. While there Is a statute con
cealed In the big law books somewhere
or other prohibiting the game in this
state, no one seems able to find any
trace of it, and a part of every legisla
tor's time In Sacramento is set apart
for indulgence In separating himself
from his salary through bobtails or a
paucity of pairs. Now comes Judge
Sewell of Santa Rosa with- an opinion
declaring that a cheek on a hank given
to pay a poker debt cannot be collected
by process of law. Whether or not cer
tain members of one of the leading clubs
In this city had heard of this decision
cannot be told, but It is said that the
gam. Is longer allowed in the club
rooms. '
A new regulation In the customs de
partment of the government is put in
force and its workings call forth many
adverse criticisms from the collectors
at this port. Under its operation bag- I
gage Is inspected at Honolulu en route I
to this side, and a label pasted over the
lock, certifying to the inspection.
Plnkerton, the detective, was a pas
senger on the Peking the other day and
announced to the officers here on his
arrival that under present regulations
he could bring in a six-horse team free.
There will doubtless be soms modifica
tions of- the order before very long for
the conditions now open the wsy for all
sorts of smuggling.
It was claimed the other day that the
steamer Columbia plying between this
port and Portland has the distinction
of being equipped with the first electrlo
plant ever put In a steamer on this
coast This wss done In 1886 or 188$,
and the original outfit Is still in use.
The estate of Collis P. Huntington
has been alloted to the two principal
heirs, that is the Collfornla holdings of
the dead millionaire.! Huntington left
an estate of $60,000,006, most of which
goes to his widow and nephew, H. E.
Huntington. The vast estate Is all
probability will be Incorporated, after
the manner of the Crocker Estate Com
pany, the Sheldon Company, and other
estates that may in this way preserve
their Interest Intact, thus avoiding dis
tribution.
In the carmen's arbitration proceedings
this week there was opened a branch of
tne men's case, haaed on the allegation
that the-company is receiving an undue
share of the profits produced by the!
Joint efforts of capital and labor in the
streetcar business conducted by the
United Railroads. The Interpretation
or tnis count or the unton against th
corporation was brought Into dispute.
and occasioned a lengthy debate. To
the great surprise of the attorney for
the railroads, opposing counsel explained
that it was not the purpose to contend
for the theory of employe sharing In
employer's profits. The purpose of tan
Inquiry into the Income of the railways,
It was explained, would be rather to
show to the board of arbitration that
no hardship would be Inflicted on the
United Railroads If the ' Increase In
wages were granted. Mr. Moore was
not disposed to accept Mr. Llvernaah's
amplification of the pleading as consist
ent with the allegation, which he re
garded as clearly setting forth a con
tention in favor of fixing wages by tak
ing the dividends of the corporation
Into account and distributing -them In
some undevised proportion between the
capital and labor Involved In the opera
tion of the transportation lines.
Not recognising any such theory as
germane to the Issue under process of
aroitration, the company's represents
live formally Ignored all testimony
bearing on this point He refused to
cross-examine the witnesses called Vfr
me carmen, ana wnen they placed Sec
retary George B. Wlllcutt of the United
Railroads on the stand, to gain evi
dence as to the cost of construction and
operation or the street lines, he was ad
vised by Mr. Moore to decline to answer
the questions, or to furnish aav infor
mation irom the books. The witness
obeyed his Instructions.

BALLOTS AND BRAWLS
s Hottest Municipal Campaign in History of that
Gty Closing with Election Being Held
Today in Garden City .
(Journal Special Service.)
WALLA WALLA. Wash.. July IS.
seething political cauldron fitly describes
election day as it is seen here today.
Never before In the political history of
this city have politicians gone to such
lengths to obtain their ends. All of the
hack lines of th. city have been em
ployed by the factions to carry voters
to the polls.
Men are being dragged from their
houses and taken to the voting placee
almost against their will. To say he
dose not want to vote .is for one to pro
voke a quarrel and rather than do that
many men have complied with the
wishes of the "rustlers" of the opposing
parties.
Personal encounters have taken-, place
and It was only with difficulty the com
batants were separated.
, It is a fight to destroy the political
prestige of Senator Levi Ankeny and
should his candidates fall' to be elected
to the municipal, offices to which., they
aspire this will to some extent have been
accomplished. .
Resnlt Zs In Doubt.
Up to ft o'clrfck this afternoon the re
sult was in doubt anorlt Is probable be
fore all the votes are counted and" the
returns completed many prophecies will
go glimmering. ' ! ,
It seems probable, however, that most
of the Ankeny men will be' elected,-although
the majorities will be very small.
The "boxer" Republicans will suffer-so
keenly from their defeat. If they are
defeated, that tt is prrftblethej'2wtn
never again fight so bitterly. The pro-,
Ankeny faction Is called the "machine."
i The offices of mayor and city marshal,
around which the battle has raged, will
probably be filled by Gilbert Hunt and
A. F. Keea. Ankeny men, but the loss of
these would be a severe blow to the
"machine."
Former Governor Miles C Moore
and politicians under his lead
ership are said toe be responsible
for the fight which will pass Into the
history of the city as the "muddiest"
ever waged. Moore entered it to strike
a blow at United States Senator Levi
Ankeny, the Republican leader of Walla
Walla county.
The feud between these two men dates
from the time Senator Ankeny first ran
for the United States Senate. Mr. Moore
has electioneered In the streets in favor
of his candidates.
Aside from the fight for the two prin
cipal municipal offices the struggle be
tween J. G. Scott, "boxer." and J. Z.
Smith, "machine." for councilman front A

but It seems probable that Smith wilf I
