- TREMONT TEMPLE AUDIENCE
Rev. J. Whltcomb" Brougher, D. D.,
pastor of the White Temple, made a
positive Impression on the worshipers
: In Tremont Temple, Boston, where ho
preached in his recent visit to the hub
of the universe. One of the Jioston
papers speaks as follows of the Port
land pastor:
"In figure, frame, height, cast of fea
tures, and in his heavy thatch of raven
black hair, the preacher vividly recalled
to the elder members of the congrega
tion the memory of the beloved pastor,
the late Dr. Lorlmer as he appeared on
the temple platform St years or more
ago. The . similarity between the two
men also extends to the fervor and
force of delivery and to their devotion

. tilng, special agent of the general land
office, finishes toe work of examining
A. A. Roberts' accounts today and will
leave for the headquarters at Salt Lake
tonight, unless he receives instructions
from Washington to the contrary.
Dunning refused to give out any part
of his findings. Roberts said he would
not. know what course to take until
Dunning's report is acted upon by the
department. .
The leave of absence granted Roberts
at the beginning of the Investigation Is
still in effect.
MADISON STREET
BRIDGE CLOSED
All traffic over the Madison street
bridge was stopped today, owing to the
weakened condition of the structure, due
to the strong current in the flooded river
and the accumulation of driftwood about
the piling near the east end of the ap
proach to the draw. With a large pile
of debris packed tightly around the
piers and the swift current, the ap
. proach has been forced so tightly
against the draw that the draw can not
be opened.
Engineer James Kelly, who Is In
charge of the work of cleaning away the
driftwood, said today that there wait
really no danger of the bridge collapsing,
but that In order to avoid any possible
accidents it had been thought best to
prohibit the wagon and streetcar traffic
for the present. In addition to the
weight of the debris in itself and the
great amount . of Increased pressure
caused by the current the large bridge
timbers act as sails and help to cause
the bridge to sway badly at times. Hy
draulic jacks will be used In pushing
the approach back Into place.
Pedestrians are allowed to cross the
bridge. Residents of the districts whose
cars usually cross the Madison street
bridge are now forced to come to town
' either over the Morrison bridge or on
tne tseuwooa ferry.

Harrisburg, Pa., Jan. 19. Both
houses of the state legislature in sep

rose, Republican, to the United States
senate. The election will be confirmed
by both houses Jointly tomorrow.
Tremont Temple seemed to be sur

a kind of spiritual electricity which kept
the speaker' and hearers' In closest sym

Brougher's words was made apparent
when at the close of his sermon he re
quested ail to arise -who would pledge
themselves to use their best endeavors
during the pejet month to tiring at least
one sinner to Christ. Fully 1.000 men
and women responded to the call.
"In ajway this one sermon afforded an
explanation of the great influence for

firoved himself to be In Portland, and,

DECLARE YOUNG
IS HOT A MORMON
W. S. FRen and Wife of
Postmaster-Elect Answer
the Minister's Charges.
John C. Young, nominated by Senator
Bourne for the Portland postmastershlp.
Is not a Mormoa and could by no possi
bility deliver the Mormon vote of the
eastern part of the state. The state
ments made yesterday by Rev. Howard
N. Smith of the Congregational church
before the Baptist ministers' meeting 1
were absolutely false and were only
the efforts of a narrow-minded- man to
injure a man to whom he is opposed
politically. Statements to thla effect
were made this afternoon, both .by W. I
S. U'Ren and by Mrs. John C. Young.
"Although Mr. Young is a nephew of
Brlgham Young and was born into the
Mormon church he has for years been
bitterly opposed to Mornionism and has
earned the enmity of the believers in
that faith by the bitter warfare he
waged upon the church while in Salt
Lake City on the Tribune," said Mr.
U'Ren over the telephone from Oregon
City this afternoon. "He did all he
could to break up the Mormon hier
archy, and, so bitterly was he hated bv
the Mormons that they tried to kil 1
him. He still bears on his body the
marks of injuries received from an at
tack made upon him. They brand him
now as an apostate and are opposed to
him. although he has lived for many
years In Oregon."
"I hardly know what to say about
the attack made upon my husband by
that man Smith." said Mrs. Young "ex
cept to say that It is absolutely false
Everybody who knows Mr. Smith will
know how much value to place upon
what he says. He is simply a spiteful,
narrow minded man who wants to in
jure Mr. Young and Is telling what he
knows is not true to do so.
"It is true that Mr. Young was born
into the Mormon church, for he is a
nephew of Brig-ham Young, but he has
not been a Mormon since he was a child
He was editor for nine years of the
Salt Lake Tribune, the paper that so
umiiy luuKiu ine Mormons, and he
said some pretty severe things about
Mormonism then and they hated him
for it. He was severely attacked bv
the Mormons several times. In those
days, you know, the feeling between
the Mormons and the Gentiles was very
strong and many harsh things were said
and none.
"You can say for me that there is
absolutely no truth In what that man
Smith said yesterday. If Mr. Young
were here, he would know better what
to say but 1 feel that, as he is in the
east, I ought to defend him bv telling
the truth In this matter. i know,
though, that nothing that man Smith
can say will hurt Mr. Young."

Wholesalers Must Eliminate
Unjust Case and Cartage
Charges, Says President of
Retail Hardware Dealers'
Association in Address.
H. J. Altncrw, President of the Im
plement Dealers' Association.
Direct complaint was made against
Pacific coast jobbers for unjust charges
by H. J. Altnow of Medford, Or., in his
annual address to members of the Ore-
6 on State Retail Hardware & Implement
'ealers- association, in convention at
the Commercial club this morning.
More than 150 dealers of the state were
In attendance.
"We must eliminate the case and
cartage charges," declared the execu
tive, emphatically. "We prefer to pur
chase our goods near home, but If the
Jobbers will persist in making these lln
just charges we must take our trade to
some other market.
"We do not object to paying the act
ual cost of the wrappings and cases and
the actual cartage charges. We - do,
however, object to the jobbers making
thousands of dollars a year profit in
this way.
"There are a few Jobbing houses In
Portland which are not making such
charges. It would be well for others to
do likewise." -
Ho Threat Intended. T
In conclusion Mr. Altnow explained
that be intended no threat, but intimated
that the association members stood as s
unit in opposition to unjust charges
such as are alleged, and, if necessary,
would take drastic action.
Certain unnamed Jobbers were also
arraigned by Mr. Altnow for the prac
tice of selling goods to consumers at
jobbing prices.
"There are certain business ethics,"
said he, "which have been-well estab
lished and are universal, which say that
this practice is wrong and unjust'to the
man who buys the bulk of your goods."
The delegates convened at shortly !
after 10 o'clock this morning in the!
rooms of the Commercial cluh. Thnurh '
about 150 were present, a number are
expected to arrive this afternoon and to
night. It is expected that the number
will be swelled to about 200.
Mayor Lane delivered the address of
welcome and H. C. Oarnett of Medford,
vice president of the association, re
sponded. H. J. Nicholson was appoint
ed sergeant at arms. President Altnow
then followed with his annual address.
He commented at length upon the
prosperous condition of the organization
and upon Its rapid growth. In this con
nection he recommended the employ
ment of a secretary. He emphatically
urged the defeat of the parcels post.
"It wduld be a national crime to estab
lish the post," he asserted.
Further, President Altnow recom
mended a mutual fire Insurance organi
zation, and the incorporation of the as
sociation under the laws of the state of
Oregon.
Following the president's address.
Frank Dayton of Portland, treasurer,
and W. P. Balderston, also of Portland,
secretary, reported, showing the asso-
elation to be In the best of condition, I
having had its number of members!
greatly Increased and the treasury aur-j

The session this afternoon was largely
taken up with routine business. 'Late in
the afternoon officers will be elected. !
It Is expected that all the present of-
fleers will be chosen again, with the ex

Salem, Or., Jan. 19. In the. senate
Johnson and Scholfleld entered protests

by their pledges to vote for the people's
choice, in the house there- were five
such protests by Statement men, entered
by Representatives Barrett of Umatilla,

Thus there were only seven protests

I RULE
Casts 19 Totes for Popular
Choice Republicans Sink
Personal Preference Out
of Public Fealty What
Senators Said.
(By Journal Leased Salem Wire.)
- Salem, Or., Jan. 19. When President
Bowerman at noon announced that the
time had arrived to ballot for United
States senator every inch of- standing
room in the chamber was .taken. Prom
inent cltlxens from alt over the state
were .seated by the side of members or
sandwiched In the crowd outside the
railing. There was a tense stillness
when the voting began, broken by ap
plause when Senator Abraham, first on
the call, cast his vote for Chamberlain.
There was also, scattering applause
when the first vote was cast for Ful
ton, by Beach. But the greatest enthu
siasm was reached when Senators Kay
and Selling closed vigorous remarks
with votes for Chamberlain.
Boholfield Bespeots People.
Scholfleld of Clatsop from 'Fulton's
own county, gave the deciding vote for
Chamberlain in the senate. He did so
prfrtestlngly, saying hia personal choice
was Fulton. But he said he felt bound
to observe the choice of the people, aq
cordlng to his pledge.
At the outset of the rdll call Senator
Abraham read a statement that covered
the position of many of the Statement
men, who saw no cause for apologising
for their votes. He said:
"Claiming the lawful and constitu
tional right to make a voluntary pre
election promise to vote for the peo-
f lie's choice for United States senator
n congress as expressed by the ballot
and to carry out that promise, and re
specting, but not recognizing as bind
ing upon me, the law passed at the last
feneral election Instructing me to vote
or such people's choice, I cast my vote
for the Honorable George E. Chamber
lain for United States senator In con
gress." . Senator Albee, when his name was
called, said:
"For the preservation of the integrity
Of Oregon and in compliance with the
expressed will of the people, I unhesi
tatingly cast my vote for George E.
Chamberlain."
Barren Stays With Pledg-a.
Barrett of Washington entered into a
long explanation, referring to his long
record as a Republican and to an early;
pledge to support the Republican party
choice. He said some might have ex
pected him to adhere to this. Instead of
roliowlng his later pledge to support
the people's choice, and he had received
many telegrams fiiom old friends asking;
nim not to vote.,-ror unamoerJaln. hut
after full consideration he felt he could
not disregard his personal pledge. So
he felt ItTiis duty to vote for Chamber-
lain
Bailey voted for Chamberlain without
comment.
Beach Zs Sarcastic.
Beach said he had no extended apol
publican voters' choice,
" Cole fonowed with a 1
like statement.
voting for cake.
Hart said he was unpledged, and voted
for Fulton.
. Johnson's Protest.
Johnson made a rambling statement.
In which he told of his effort to obtain
a pledge from the governor that he
would resign on March 4. By implica-1
tlon, he accused the governor of giving
him someort of promise different from
that given to others. Senator Smith of;
Umatilla challenged him to produce a
letter written to him by the governor,
but Johnson said he did not know that
he had the privilege of making it pub
lic. But still, said Johnson, he had In
tended to keep his pledge to the people.
In a voice that was almost breaking,
as though laboring under a strain, John
sop entered a formal protest with his -vote
for Chamberlain. He named three:
grounds. One was the registration of;
Democrats as Republicans at the pri-
maries, another that Chamberlain was '
not his free choice, and finally that If I
free he would not vote for Chamberlain.
Bay for Chamberlain. j
Senator Kay referred back to the
time Geer was defeated by Republican
votes after being made the paty choice.
"And some of the most active men
now against the people's choice are the
same men that boiled the ticket then
and brought us into the situation we
are In today
They ought to be the last
ones heard to complain. They tried to
put (statement Mo. 1 in a note ana tncy
put themselves there."
Kay then quoted the figures of the
election In Clatsop, county,, showing how
strongly it was carried by Fulton over
Cake and then by Chamberlain over
Cake. He said that although not
pledged to support the people's choice,
he believed it right to carry out the
wishes of 70,000 voters, expressed at
the polls when they voted for a law to
instruct members of the legislature.
He said he wanted no protest for him
self, but took the full responsibility of
voting for Chamberlain..
Frank J. Miller caused some surprise
by voting for Robert S. Bean.
Senator Norton, the Independent mem
ber, said be was unpledged, but believed
in the DrinciDle of letting the neonle
chose and he wanted to say- that he did
not think the voters could have done
belter In selecting a . competent and
able senator.
Selling for tha People's Choice.
Senator Ben Selling said he bad no
apology for being a Republican and
none for being In favor of Statement
No. 1. He referred to the fact that he
led the ticket in Multnomah county and
said he did not take that as a personal
compliment, but as proof of the support
of Statement No. 1. In the old days he
had been refused a renomination be
cause "he would not stand In," but the
people had as good a right to choose
their senators as had the-bosses. Forty
per cent of the Republicans voted for
Chamberlain at the polls and these wexe
the Republicans, if -any there were,
who needed to apologize for their votes.
He thought It the duty of every mem
ber to vote for Chamberlain and he
claimed to be as good a Republican as
My-
He was vigorously applauded.

AUTO RIDE HAS
A SAD FINISH
Duke Evans, one of the proprietors
of- the Circuit cefe on Stark street near
Fourth, will be called upon to explain
why he jumped out of an automobile
and ran sway with a woman's money
after inviting her to go with htm in the
auto, but later insisting that she pay
for the ride.
A warrant was issued out of the po
lice court this morning for Evans' ar
rest The charge is disorderly conduct.
Officer J. W. Inskeep being the: com
plainant. The policeman -signed the com
plaint because the actual complainant,
Mrs. S. M. Brown, declined to do so on
account of the publicity that would
follow. .
A strong effort will be made by the
police to have tha license of the Circuit
cafe managers revoked, for complaints
against this plape have been almost as
frequent 'during their management as
when Charles Mays .was conducting It.
The matter will be laid before the liquor
license committee of the council at the
next meeting, unless Evans Is able to
clear himself.
According to the story told by Mrs.
Brown, whose husband and family nave
been residents of the city for a number
of years. Evans asked her to come to
his saloon last evening and wait until
he closed up at 1 o'clock, when they
wouia go to enrr inn on an auto riae.
She waited at the cafe three or four
"'id n.uru est vim nil j . ur luut i
hours. Evans, she ssys, asked her how:
. . . . . . . . I
mucn money sne naa ana sne gave mm
$7.60. the contents of her purse.
When the pair in a hired auto had
reached Eleventh and Stark streets at
3:30 this morning, on their return,
Evans, the woman declares, told her
she would have to pay for the motor
ing expedition, and when- she protested
that he had all her money Jumped out
and ran. She followed him and he
struck her a heavy blow on the face, she
says, which assertion Is corroborated
by her appearance. She screamed for
help, and J. C. Friendly, living at 414
Stark, opened his window and fired a
shot to -frighten the person assaulting
the woman. J ,
Officers 'Inskeep and Stanton heard
the anot-and . found Mrs. Brown pros-

for assistance. Kvans had vanished.
but besides Friendly there was another
witness, Jospph Jones, employe of the
Portland Riding academy, who was in
the vicinity at the time.
Evans, according to the police records,
has served two terms In the peniten
tiary for larceny from the person.
Chicago, Jan. 19 .Pleading that rail
roads are often ignorant of the law
when they commit offenses, the Chicago
& Alton railroad asked today for a re
hearing of the case in which it was
fined $60,000 for paying rebates to
Schwarxechild & Sulzberger. The peti
tion for a rehearing was filed because
the supreme court was equally divided
and failed to make a ruling.
The payment of $1 a car for the use
of the packing firm's sidetrack was the
act upon which the case was based, and
the railroad holds that unless this is
permitted It will forcu every line In the
country to own all' sidetracks leading
into industries.
The following statement made in the
petition Is considered one of the most
remarkable pleas ever taken into court:
"A man may embezile the funds of a
bank or shoot at . another to kill. In
either event, unless he Is Insane, he
knows In advance that his act Is a crime.
On the other hand, railroad men are sur
rounded by doubt and perplexity, and
often can not know in advance that their
acts are crimes."

Washington. Jan. 19. Represents
tions were made to the state depart
ment today by the Japanese ambassa
dor protesting against the proposed
anti-Japanese measures In the Califor
nia legislature.
it was admitted at tne wnnenouno
today that President Roosevelt hat
written to Governor Glllett relative to
the anti-Japanese measures In the Cal
ifornia legislature. The text of his let
ter will be given out later. It Is said
the letter explains in great detail the
reasons why the president thinks tha
legislature should not pass the bills.
(United Press Leased Wire.)
Sacramento. Jan. 19. Although soma
of the anti-Japanese agitators In tha
legislature are still vowing to let no
"big stick" stop them In their efforts
to frame laws hostile to the little
brown men, it is generally conceded
that President Roosevelt's warning tel
egram sent to Governor Glllett yester
day has had the same chilling effect on
the belligerency or uanrornia lawmaa-
ers that a similar message haa two
years ago.
Unless Assemblymen Grove L John
son and A. M. Drew and Senator J. B.
San ford can muster more allies than
they seem to have, their bills against
'aliens ' will die of federal strangula
tion.

labor Is Wot Terrified. .
Besides some good parliamentarians
and able lighters on the floor of each
house, the anti-Japanese measures have
hearty supporters in the union labor
element In the legislature. The labor
representatives say they owe nothing to
the present administration and they an
nounce their purpose to fight every ob
stacle which Roosevelt or anybody else
may place before these measures.
"I am going to stand by Johnson to
the last, said Assemblyman James
Hopkins, union labor representative
from Ban Francisco, "and I feel confi
dent the majority of the San Francisco
delegation will do the same. I was
elected by union labor and I am going;
to fight against the Japanese, for the
Union Labor party."
"While I was not elected on the Union
Labor ticket," said Assemblyman W. R.
Odom' of Kings county, "I have always
been a union labor man, and will vote
for these anti-Japanese bills."

The vigorous request wired from tha
White House served In no way to pacify

Japanese fight. Johnson Is no quitter
and he enjoys a tilt, indifferent whether
he is breaking lances with his col
leagues or with the president of the
United States, or even with the mikado.
"I will pay absolutely no attention to
Roosevelt's "telegram," said he today.
"I have no fear of this "big stick.' Two
years ago we had a similar telegram,
and, because of promises made by the
president, we quit our rlgnt. All tnose
promises have been broken. Nothing has
W . - , . . .
been done to he p us or to remedy the

evils which we knew existed, and. per
sonally. I am not going to rely on any
more promises from tne White House
on this matter. You can say for me
that I'm going right to it"
Drew Is Opes to Conviction.
Assemblyman Drew Is more pacific.
He does not care to pose as a hot head,
and while not backing down on his
nnsltlon he takes the attitude that he
1 willing to be convinced if the presi
dent has sound reasons for calling off
the anti-Japanese crusade. He aaid to
dav: shall have action on my bill de
layed until after the president's letter
reaches the governor. In the meantime
I will attempt to ascertain what the
i feeling n tne people tnrougnoui uu
J state Is In regard to this anti-Japanese
matter. I desire every person at all
interested to write me on the subject.
If I find the poople favor anti-Japancs
legislation I will go ahead with my ef
forts to secure the passage of my bill,
unless, of course, the governor decided
ly objects, In which case I . shall leave
the entire matter to him."
Speaker Stanton's Views.
Speaker Phil A. Stanton of the as
sembly goes even farther thai Drew and
his stand In the controversy Is consid
ered a fair reflection of the position
which will be taken by the Republican
organization, which controls a majority
of votes in both houses when It comes
to federal questions. Stanton said to
dav: "I think that. In considering such
matters as the anti-Japanese bills In-,
troduced we are treading upon danger
ous ground. Personally I 'think the
Drew bill should be killed, because rta
firovlsions. In my opinion, prevent aliens
Ivlng In their Bsfllve country from In
vesting money "Trr California real estate
or property of any descrption. At any
rate, all action on the anti-Japanese
question should be held up until we
hear from the president."
Governor Gillett himself had little to
say. Like many others at the capital,
he promises too withhold Judgment un
til ne receives Roosevelt's letter. Tha
governor said: , ...
"My futuie action in this matter will
depend largely upon what the president
says in his letter, which I expect in a
couple of davs. I cannot say until I
receive his letter whether I will send a
message to the legislature regarding
the Japanese ouestion. I sent my tele
gram to the president late yesterday
afternoon and am mailing him copies of
the antl-Japanese J)llls introduced."

Opium and morphine have been resorted
to in the past, as relief measures. But
now it Is learned that the system must
be treated to rid it of Inflammation and
congestion. A tonic laxative cough syrup
does tha work so ouickly and thorough
ly as to be almost magical. What here
tofore has taken weeks to cure can ba
accomplished In hours. Get this for
mula filled or mix It at home and al
ways keen It on hand: One half ounce
fluid wild cherry bark, one ounce-compound
essence cardlol and three ounces
syrup white pine compound. Shake the
bottle and take 0 drops every half
hour for four hours. Then take , one
half ' to one. teaspoonful threa or four
times a day until the system Is puri
fied and toned up. Give children less
