First Presbyterian Church to Have
Three Hundred

First Presbyterian Church to Have
Three Hundred
The First Presbyterian church has
just received 800 new copies of the
Hymns of Worship and Service" from
the Century company of New York.
This is the latest publication of the
Century company, who are consider
ed the best publishers of evangelicals
hymnals in this country and combines
the wisdom of more than half a CEN
fury with the needs of modern churches
There are no clap-trap jingles in the
book, all of the music being the very
best and most familiar that can be
fitted to the classical English hymns.
Besides the splendid selection Of hym-
nails included, the book has a we'll ar
ranged and carefully selected roper
toire of devotional responsive read
ings, which can be so used as to en-
rich the service without involving the
monotOny often experienced in the
litany. These books were used for the
first time in the worship yesterday
morning, each worshiper having ac
cess to a hymnal.

MAS MURDER COMMITTED?
UMATILLA CITIZENS EXCITED
OVER SOME UNUSUAL FINDS
YESTERDAY.
Puddle of Blood, Human Hair and Toj-
let Articles Rouse Suspicion
Among Officers.

The tranquility of peaceful Umatilla
has been disturbed by a probable MUIR
der. Yesterday morning there was
found handkerchief, pocket manicure
set and a package of tobacco near
puddle of blood. Portions of human
hair were also found. Marks indicated
the dragging of a body across the sand
to the Columbia river, leaving a trail
of blood to indicate murder.
The citizens are dragging the river
for body but up to this time without
success. None of the inhabitants of
the town is missing, but many new
corners are about seeking employment
at the construction camps on the oppo-
site side of the Columbia

An Air and Water Motor.

Morris C. Lockwood, the New Jersey
inventor, has the most talked about
curiosity in Vineland in his workshop.
It is a hydrostatic motor. which, he
declares, is past the experimental
stage. For twenty-seven years Lock
wood has expended his money and time
on this invention. The motor, Lock
wood says, is destined to do away
with steam, gas and electricity and
run the machinery Of the world with
air and water. The model, he says,
works perfectly. A hydrostatic mo-
tor Of fifty horsepower, after being
charged with water, will consume only
two quarts Of water in twenty-four
hours.-Philadelph North American.

equipped with appliances resembling

There will be more railroad build

on in the United States. 1t will mean
a great deal to this section of the
country and I predict that the popu-
lation of all the northwest cities will
be greatly increased within the next
five years."

Mr.. Reid in London.

Whitelaw Reds first official week in Lon
don is crowded with interesting features.
If his duties have been a little delayed he
cannot complain of them now that they are
at hand. The king was cordial on Monday,
and that inaugurated the program now in
full swing. State dinners, receptions, balls.
and all that cannot but put the American
ambassador on his mettle, and develop the
best of his social side, which is decidedly
good. He knows the gait, and goes it with
sure foot.
Ordinarily. the present would not have
been happy time for changing our repre-
sentative at so important post as that at
the Court of st. James. The worlds bust
ness today is highly important all along
the line. Negotiations on a large scale are
afoot, or are on the point of Inauguration,
In which all the great powers are pro-
foundly interested. London, as usual, is
quite the center of things. While as ma
ton we are not in alliance with any power
are not to be wrought up to the fighting
pitch about Manchuria or Morocco, or any
question growing out of those questions
still We want the latest and the best in
formation about what is going on. and it is
to our advantage to have on duty abroad
at this time trained observers of events
and men in touch with those who are max
ing history.
The value of Mr.. Reid to us lies in his
thorough equipment for his work He has
not been taken from a profession whose
duties barred interest in the larger affairs
of the world, nor from business where
specialized information prevailed. AS the
editor and conductor of great newspaper
he had been occupied with the very matters
which as an ambassador he must now watch
and consider The ambassador grows out
of the editor. and will be all the more eff
cient for the journalistic twist to his wrist
We have replaced Mr.. Choate, therefore,

notice required by the law. The BEST that
can be hoped for. apart from an effective
request to all residents to respect the law
as it formerly stood, is a successful appeal
to higher court to give the regula ton va
lidity and force in restriction.
The legal Issue involved in this case did
not affect the right of the Commissioners
themselves to formulate and enforce police
regulations TO safeguard the lives, property
and comfort of residents. II turned upon
their power to delegate to subordinate
the virtual framing of regulations by con-
ferring upon him the authority 10 enforce

The Public and the Street RAILWAYS.

Justice Andersons decision that the pub
lie has right to intervene in equity pro-
ceedings affecting the street railway sery-
ice is in line with the general under
standing of citizens regarding their rela-
lions to the public service corporations
No other of his reasons advanced for
granting the petition for further post
ponement of the no-transfer order is as
important as that which cites the claim
of counsel that the public is entitled to
free transfers among all intersecting
roads
This right has never been fully tested.
compel the intersecting roads, whether of
the same or different corporations, to ex-
change passengers freely. The public,
however, has generally recognized that it
is wiser to allow two distinct corpora lions
to maintain separate existences and to
serve mutually, to a certain degree as
stimulants and checks the one upon the
other. There was general feeling of
qualification several years ago when a
number Of the lines were assembled under
a single corporate head, meeting another
consolidation. There was assurance of
public convenience, 1t was believed in the
opposition of two strong competitive bid
ders for the patronage of the people. The
court apparently regards the question of
free transfers between these rival cor
porations as still open to Interpretation
and possible enforcement. even though the
public's rights in the premises are not in
issue

Peace.

Maybe all watching for peace too
closely. There is the story of the watched
pot. Peace, undoubtedly, is the general
desire Probably nobody desires it more
fervently than many Russians of promi-
hence do. Japan. of course, desires it since
she did not desire The difficulties may
be exaggerated here and there, but they
exist and require delicate treatment. We
are ready with our services whenever they
may be acceptable. All the powers OF i'm
portance Russia included. stand advised
through their representatives here of our
attitude. and all may appraise for them
selves what aid 1t is in our power to rem
der. War is expensive, and Russia by pro-
tracing the struggle will have to go down
deep into her pockets; and every day OF
continued failure will but add to the sum
of the Japanese demand at the close The
piper must be paid, and Russia brought ON
the dance.

RELOCATING the duty OF decision to a sub
ordinate officer. The court holds that this
method OF providing for exceptions iEvali-
dates the entire rule.
The Star has heretofore on occasion ur-
gently represented the need of an enact
ment by Congress covering the matter OF
pistol-carrying by license. 1t regards the
present system of granting permits as in
adequate. there being no sufficient record
of the sales to pistol owners and no suf-
ficlent official scrutiny of the pistol stocks
held by dealers and tine records of their
disposal. Perhaps in view of the difficult
situation which now arises in consequence
of the Police Court ruling, an effort will be
made to secure from the next Congress a
law which will correct the flaw in the
general pistol-carrying law and, at the
same stroke, broaden the authority of the
Commissioners, if they so DESIRE. SO as to
enable them to delegate a subordinate to
attend to exemptions and to suspend the
pistol firing rule in whole or in part on
special occasions.
1t is. however, difficult to understand why
there should be any especial facility for the
suspending of the pistol-firing rule. 1t is
a good rule to keep in force at all times,
and 1t is not easy to imagine occasions,
short of great public disorder or war;
which would warrant the granting to the
entire community or to any part of 1t the
right to discharge firearms.
