PRESIDENT IS CRITICISED
BY WASHINGTON CLERGY
Revoking of Anti-Garb Order
for Indian Schools
Causes Action.

That the action Of the President of the
United States in revoking the anti-garb
order of Commissioner Robert G. Valen-
tine forbidding teachers in the Indian
schools to wear the garb of any religious
order is a profound disappointment to
the great majority of the Christian citi-
zenship Of the republic" was the declara
ton voiced in resolutions passed by the
Pastors Federation, at a meeting at the
Y. NJ. c. A. today.
Nearly 100 ministers Of the various
Protestant churches Of the District as
sembled to hear the anti-garb order
discussed. BY a rising vote they
adopted the resolutions presented by
the executive committee of the feder-
alton.
I'VE earnestly protest." it was further
set forth. against the proposed action in
Congress to appoint a Columbus day as
a national holiday, because the demand
for this holiday issues only from very
limited number of our people. and these
being connected with one certain eccle-
siasticism, we believe II to be covert at
tempt to secure a future saints day as
national holiday, and thereby establish
legislative and permanent recognition
of this ecclesiasticism in our national
life
Referring again to the revocation of
the order by the President, it was said:
1t is not American and a complete sur
render of the essential principle of our
national life, which ordains the separation
of church and state" 1t was added:
THE President adds the immense in
1uence of his name and office to the work
of converting the Indians to Roman
Catholicism

president of the federation. called on
Rev. DR.. Wallace Radcliffe for a state

Fisher of the Interior Department sew
eral days ago relative to the question
at issue.
DIR. Radcliffe said that the impression
seemed to prevail that Professionalism
would be satisfied with the gradual elm
mated of the priests and nuns from
the schools by resignation and death, but
this idea, he said. is distinctly wrong

The Titanic Is the largest vessel ever
built. this statement including warships
and vessels of every description. Built
in the shipyards Of Harland & Wolf, Bel
fast, Ireland, where all the White Star
line steamers have been constructed, the
Titanic Is $50 feet inches over all, or
about 331 feet longer than the height Of
the Washington Monument Taking the
average city block as 800 feet in length,
the Titanic would extend over about three
blocks.
The estimated cost OF building the ship
was 100000 600 and this Is probably con-
siderably within the actual cost of the ves-
sci fully fitted up and equipped. The
registered tonnage OF the Titanic Is IS ,OOO
and the ships displacement Is $1,000
tons. which means that 1t displaces that
many tons of water when afloat.
The vessel accommodates 900 passen-
gers and carries crew If $50 officers
and men. In its construction more than
three million rivets were used, their ag-
gregate weight being 100 tons.
Has Eleven Steel Decks.
The Titanic is 81 feet wide over the
boat deck and 175 feet high from the
tops Of the tunnels to the keel 1t has

NEW YORK, April 15.-Pushing into

having passed through a sea of ice, the
Cunarder Carmania delivered a wireless
message from the French line steamship
Niagara that two holes had been punched
in the latter ships hull by ice.
The holes are below the water line, 1t
is understood, but Capt. Julian has the
situation under control, and the
Niagara is making her way unaided.
The French liner left Havre April for

Remarkable Picture Snapped.

AS the Carmania was lodging her way
along picture of the biggest iceberg was
snapped. The sun shone brilliantly. Pas
sengers said they never had beheld any
thing so beautiful.
Almost simultaneously with the dis
tress call from the Niagara Capt Dow
decided to work his way out of the ice
a-rear. He did it only by steering to the
northeast and going back upon his course.
An hour afterNard he was able to re-
shape his course for New York.
At $40 pm. that day the weather
cleared and full speed ahead was ordered.
Within three hours the Carmania had
passed twenty-five icebergs. At pm.
she was In dense fog again. She stopped
and then proceeded, passing bergs and

Niagara Formerly the Corse.

While fearsome persons still were star
ing at this spectacle came the wireless
message from the Niagara, leagues
astern, saying that she had been injured
in the ice. The Niagara is twin screw
steamship of $3.50 tons gross. built in
1905 She was formerly the Corse.
The advance guard of the ice field was
a cluster of bergs far to the north. The
main body of the field ice appeared from
the same direction in the forenoon. 1t was
q ragged surface with no wide crevices
perceptible between the huge cakes and
the chunks, which undulated upon the
sweils in a mad tumult of clanking and
grating. Capt Dow made out berg

Dwarfs Even Dreadnoughts.

Compared with other vessels afoat
the Titanic's mammoth proportions
become apparent. She is more than
twice the size of the dreadnought Della
ware, and her tonnage is more than
5000 tons in excess of that Of the larg-
est battleships.
The vessel left the ways at the Bel
fast yards last May, and her maiden
trip has been heralded throughout the
world. In the ships construction the
greatest care was exercised, and the
Titanic was supposed to be the final
word in shipbuilding as regards
stanchness, safety. carrying capacity
and sustained speed.

KILL THE FREAK.

Amidst the turmoil and the flood
of political matter advocating this OF
that measure to be voted on Tues
day oregon electors should not lose
sight of the fact that one of the wild
est and most erratic theories which
the fruitful mind of a man trained in
such things can conceive, is to be
voten on, and should be defeated
We refer to the proposal by Mr..
U'Ren for the adjustment of the
state senate; in fact the measure pro-
vides practically for the doing away
with the present state constitution
and the substitution of one built by
the Oregon City Law factory. This
appears on the ballot as Nos. 1862
Yes and 1863 No.
The measure provides for the elm
ination of the safe and sane methods
which are practically in force in ev-
cry state in the union and which have
stood the test of time. In their place
U'Ren proposes to try all of the un-
heard of theories and wildcat ideas
which his mind has pictured as the
ideal" form of government. 1t is
such a radical departure from estab-
lished custom and sound sense, that
one is astounded at the nerve display
ed by the man who cen calmly ask
the people of the state to adopt them
merely on his say so. One of the
most iniquitous provisions of the pro-
posed constitution is that which seeks
to introduce the proxy system in vot-
ing upon all matters before the house
of representatives, which would be
the sole law making power, aside
from the initiative and referendum
U'Ren's law would make the Gov
ernor, and the unsuccessful candi-
date for governor. eX-officio members
of this body. and every member not
only votes his own choice but that
also Of the votes that elected him.
In other words, If he received 1900
votes at the election he would add
that number to his own vote. While,
at the first blush, this might appear
acceptable, when it is remembered
that the representatives from Multi
nomah and other counties with large
populations, would practically control
all legislation, its unjustness is at
once apparent. There are many 9TH
er vicious provisions in the proposed
measure which should doom 1t to de-
feat by an overwhelming majority.
BY all means vote 1868 Y No"
