At a special meeting of convocation
held September 21, at Trinity college,
Toronto, Canada, Right Rev. Charles H.
Scadding, D.D... bishop of Oregon waa
given the degree of D. D. by his alma
mater.

Lr. Henry Scadding of Holy Trinity, L,
aucnor 01 loronio 01 uia, ana viner
works. Dr. Charles Scadding was edu
cated at Trinity college where he grad
uated and wag ordained in 188S. Shortly
after his graduation he removed to New
York where he spent five years under
Rev. W. S. Rainsford. three years, at
6t George's church and two years as
curate in charge of a mission chapel
In the crowded tenement districts.
From New York Dr. Scadding went to
Trinity church, Toledo, where he re

the need of men and money to do the
work of his great diocese, where he has
now but . 20 men to take charge of 65
churches and missions. The Toronto
World, quoting him, says:
"Oregon is. aeveiopmg rapidly along
material lines. The people are not "poor
benighted heathen,' for in every town I
'' have visited -I hsve found an intelli
gent, -alert and industrious community,
' and I desire ro help them make rellg
ion and good oitlsenship keep pace with
' the material growth and prosperity:
Borne day we shall Have strong, self-
supporting parishes In many of these
towns, but for the present our missions
need help from tha outside, and I know
'ipt no field where the church at large
, can make more profitable Investment of
. her best clergymen and liberal con
tributions for religion than in Oregon.
To me the opportunities seem manifold
and magnificent,- but I need clergymen
of tha right kind, godly, earnest, tact
ful, sealous, conservative teachers and
workers." v

CORRECT EVIL IN

Captain Bruin Advises Chief
Regarding Nativity of
City Prisoners.
In an official communication to Chief
Orltsmacher, Inspector of Police Patrick
Bruin has taken the initiative to correct
what la regarded as a vital defect in
compiling the statistics of tha depart
ment. upon Investigation Captain Bruin
found that either throue-h Ignorance or
carelessness the members of tha police
department detailed for desk duty at
Headquarters have not exercised suffi
cient care in ascertaining the nationality
of persons arrested, whose names are
entered on the docket. The police of
ficial found that persons of the Hebrew
faith, who may hava been born in this
or any other country; are always booked
as Jews. . The same rule has been ap
plied to those of Irish descent, but
Americans by birth, being entered as
natives of Ireland, and also In the case
of Germans, Swedes, Italians, etc.
Aa It was only recently that the Na
tional Bureau of the Census sent a spe
cial agent to secure the judicial sta
tistics In Portland It la evident that the
correct entries in the nativity column
on the police docket Is most Important
While a member or tne police com
mission, D. Bolls Cohen called the atten
tion of the chief to the habit of book
Ins all members of bis faith as Jews.
and the matter waa covered In an offi
cial order at that time. The Ancient
Order of Hibernians and Hebrew socie
ties throughout the country have been
sgitattng this subject for some time in
an endeavor to correct the evlL
Captain Bruin's letter to the chief of
ponce is as follows:

lowlna report and recommendation
I

rest record of this department, that
when a person of foreign parentage is
arrested on any charge, and entered on
our records, that this person ia Invaria
bly claased as a foreigner regardless of
whether he waa born and raised In this
country or not. As an example, if a
person of Jewish parentage, who was
born in this country and whose parents
may have for two or more generations
been born in this country, Is arrested,
such person Is almost always entered
on our records as a Jew, and this, exam
ple applies to all other nationalities.
"It occurred to me that In the matter of
compiling statistics of the crime of the

the prime object Is to get facts.

to the matter heretofore but that In

That a studied attempt to misstate
and distort facts regarding the county

and lta evening edition la the declara
tion of County Judge Webster. To
prove thia the judge points out what he
says ore deliberate untruths In tha pub
lished articles of the two papers. Re
garding his trip to southern Oregon
next week. Judge Webster said:
"The law permits a county judge to
practice law, and haa permitted it nearly
ever alnce Oregon waa admitted. In
addition to thla, I never take a vaca
tion, and when I go I always arrange
the probate work as far ahead as is
possible. The commissioners are here
to attend to the work of the commis
sioners' court, so that does not suffer.
The law does not specify the office
hours of a county judge, and I Infer
that If I get the work done It doesn't
make much difference to the county
whether I sit up at night to do It or
only work between S and 6 o'clock each
day.
"When I say i am always within
reach of the telephone I mean that I
can return quickly at any - time an
emergency should arise. In addition
to all this, the last legislature conferred
upon the circuit court judges power to
transact probate Dusmess so tnat tne
work of the probate court is not left

At a special meeting of the council
held today a motion was made to re
consider the vote whereby the tern
porary building ordinance was defeated
at the laat regular meeting, and the
measure was taken up and passed after
having been amended in one or two un
important particulars. ine law now
provides that ordinary brick buildings
may be six stories high, provided they
are metal lathed throughout and that
none of the floors shall rest on wooden
joists.
The new measure provides that mill
constructed buildings may be erected
to a height of six stories. It waa over
these two provisions in the ordinance
that the contention arose, both of which
were fought so vigorously by ex-Coun
cilman snepnera at tne previous meet
ing of the council. Mr. Shepherd was
not present at today's council meeting,
and the friends of the building ordi
nance thinking it a good time to press
their measure, brought it up and suc
ceeded In getting it passed.
The ordinance passed today la only a
temporary measure, and will be repealed

cnarge or Maurice Alphonse Hemet,
master of the French bark St Louts,

d earing in uie Hemet case and did not

to the effect that Jananese or Koreana
coming to this country throuah Can-
aaa, saexica omriawan must have a pass

men from Australia placed them above
the favored nation class and they were
entitled to admission without passports.

for crying "famlna" according to infor
mation from varloua source a Japan
ese coal. It la d ecU red, can be laid down
here for 17.(0 per ton of 2.280 pounds
and yet It Is Impossible to buy coal to
day In the olty of Portland for less
than 811 or 112 a ton. and a 2,M0-nound
ton at that
Not SO very manv rkl mm tha Nnrl
weglan ataamar Transit, wit tine
of Japansae coal on board, waa diverted
from thia port to Soattle In order, it Is
underatood, to keep down the visible
supply at this place. The coal could
have Dean laid down here for ST.B0 per
ton, Including duty of 7 cents per ton,
and sold at a profitable figure, yet it
was diverted to the sound and the
cry of a fuel famine Increased.
Australian coal quoted here at 113
per ton can be bought in Australia for
from 12 to 28 a ton. and hauled across
the ocean for 85 or 8 a ton at pre
vailing steamer freighta. Adding the
7 cents per ton duty, and other ex
penses of handling, It will readily be
aeen that the foe com pan lea are not
particularly anxious to prevent the
threatened famine.
From California cornea the report that
whole ateamer cargoes from Auetralla
are being held In the harbor of Port
Loa Angeles until the supply at San
Franclaco dropa to the desired low
stage, whsn they are sent north. Sev

TO BESUiilONED
Subpoenas to AH Parts of
County in Coon Coun
terfeiting Case. i
I Assistsnt United States Attorney
1 James Cole announced today that he
would ask the court to set the- case of
the government agalnat Joe Day, an In
dian arrested for carrying liquor on
the Orand Ronde Indian reservation,
first those againat Charles Anderson
snd the Coon counterfeiting gang next,
when the esses come up for trial before
the Jury which was ordered In the
United States district court yesterday
to report for duty October 7.
The case agalnat Day is of minor
Importance and will be more of a tryout
than anything else. The caaes which
concern Mr. Cole most sre those against
Anderson and the counterfeiters. An
derson is charged with robbing the Sell
wood postofflce last winter In company
with Frank Wayne, and several other
men who were members of the post
office gang.
Coon ia charged with four other men
of conspiring to defraud the government
by manufacturing spurious coins. The
case against the Coon crowd and Ander
son are the two most Important ones
which Mr. Cole will have to try, the
remaining cases against membera of the
furniture combination will probably be
dismissed.
Other cases which Mr, Cole will try
are against violators of the postal laws.
Many witnesses will be heard in the
cases coming up for trial next month
and have already been subpoenaed by
the government. They live in, all parts
of the country and will greatly Increase
the cost of the trials. Captain Flynn,
of the secret service, has been called
from New York, while a number of
other witnesses living In equally distant
parts of the country will soon be in
Portland to testify sgalnst members of
the counterfeiting gang.

RAILWAY AS FUEL
Salem, Or., Sept. 27. The railway
commission, In the conference with w.
W. Cotton, attorney, and R. B. .Miller,
general freight agent of the Harriman
lines, at Portland, yesterday found the
company had already taken action to
frevent a fuel famine. It had lowered
he rate on wood from eastern points
from $10 to 87 per ton, and from 60
to 85 cents per hundred, such rate to
take effect In a few days. It had made
Inquiries among the ooal mine opera
tors supplying Oregon, as to the avail'
able supply for next winter, and though
on account of the shortage of labor, this
will not be so large as usual, it thinks
there is no danger of a famine.
As to the shipment of slab wood," It
was suggested that; the governor and
railway officials , ask the commission
to write to mlllowners and secure cer
tain data as to the amount destroyed.
The commission will comply. The rail
way Is willing to ship fuel at a -nominal
charge In case of shortage, provided it la
available and put on the cars.
