But It l evi dent, from her remarks, .that Mrs. Gran nie Is angry angry clear through. Rlihop Doane has been an actlva and mclnt worker In the league, according to Mrs. Grannis' own statements, and It was recently planned to hold the annual meeting In th Albany Cathedral, lilshop Doane. however, declared that women members could not speak In th church because the acrlpturea forbade, whereupon Mrs. Orannla decided that -ther can be meeting In th Albany Cathedral." Incident Cause- Stir. Th Incident caused a great stir not only because of the bishop's stand, but ImiuM of the promlnenc of th women Interested In th league's work. Bishop Wane baa been a great friend of Mrs. Grannis In the past. Mrs. Orannls statement Is not a direct attack upon ftlshop Doane. but a grilling of the "practice" she calls them of th Fplseopal Church, with Incidental mention of th sam sort of tha Korean Church. Speaking of her letter to Bishop Doane In which she said that the meeting of the Ira sue could not be held In the Al bany Cathedral If the women wer barred from speaking to th extent of preventing the women officer from read ing their annual report. Mr. Orannla iki: -I declined to return, figuratively speaking, to the days, some SO years ago. when th faculty of Oberlln College reuecd a man to deliver a valedictory addivsa which had been written by one of the girl students, and which should have wen dellve ed by her who had won tfe honor by hard and creditable collcg work. Benighted Practice" Scored. 1 place th benighted practlcea of th Episcopal Church in th sam cate gory aa those advocated by Roman Cath olic prelates, as regards th privilege accorded to women speaker, and view th maker of these church law with pity rather than resentment 'At th recent Women' Missionary Jubilee, th plac accorded women by the Indian. Hlnda and other Oriental religions was quit apparent a lee de graded and repreheneiol than that ac corded her by th teachings of th Epis copal hierarchy with lt opportunity to know Christ and hla gospel." Mrs. Orannls calls -attention to th fa.-t that Cardinal Gibbons. Archbishop Ksrley and most Roman Cathollo and Episcopal prelates will seldom fall to quote from Genesis, flrst chapter, "God created man In bis own Image." yet not on of them refer to th pronouns used In th scrlptur lesson." Motherhood Ignored, She Says. Why do mal church authorities Ig nore th motherhood any mor than th fatherhood of the church?" she asks. 'It la these prelates themselves who In ject all that Is unwholesome and "tru in th Idea of sex. Would It b Indeli cate or wicked to Intimate a lack of Ingle In debarring women from partici pation in all manner of God's servlc In th church, while It make constant ref erence to the fact that Christ as be gotten of God. conceived by th Holy Ghost and born of the Virgin Mary. Mrs. Grannla goea on to say sh hope woman will some day tak her plac with man In the church. ,..Ki Sli also recalls, with considerable feeling, an experience she had som year ago when Dr. Parker Morgan, who waa to be a speaker at th annual meet ing of the Purity League In Broadway Tabernacle, declined at th last minute to glv his address ther because th tabernacle wm a -dissenters' church.

Wash., April 9. (Special.) Returning the compliment of last Sunday, when they were beaten 10 to 0. the Officers' Polo Club of the post today defeated the Portland Polo Club team of Portland,, by th score of 4 to 1. With two new members playing on the team the of ficers played remarkably good polo, and. considering the adverse weather condition, the game was a fine one. It was an evenly-fought game from the start, and It was not until toward the close of the battle that the officers were established the winners. There waa all the brilliancy of last Sunday's game in today's contest, both trios shining in their work with the mallet. Each club having been vlctorlou In one game, another contest is now necessary to decide the supremacy be tween the rival polo clubs. With a high wind blowing and threatening clouds hanging; low, cast ing light rain-showers upon the field, the half dozen men rode their ponies throughout the hour of playing ap parently unconscious of the weather conditions. There were many officers and women of the post and several so ciety folk from Portland at the game. The game was played in four periods of 15 minutes each, with . 10 minutes rest between, horses being changed be tween periods. The play was fast, and scrums were many and interesting. De fense men on either side were sure of themselves, and few misses were seen. Polo Is to be played a gTeat deal on the local turf during- the Summer between the two Portland clubs Ore gon Freebooters and Portland Polo Club, and the Officers' Club of the Bar racks. There are several polo clubs forming among the officers of the post, and with the two Portland clubs games throughout the Summer will no doubt be played. Lieutenants Rucker, Scofield, Ehrn beck and Spencer represented the Of ficers' Club, while J. T. Cronln, Thomas Monks, C. H. Norlin and Eugene Oppen heimer constituted the Portland Polo Club team.

As Boat Sails, Men Crowd Rail, Trying- to Induce Launchman to Carry Them Ashore. SAN FRANCISCO, April 9. (Special.) The labor agents who have been rounding up men for work In the Alaska canneries are taking no chances with the hands and heavy guards of watch men are keeping their eyes on the packets where the men have been placed. Most of the men are given a small ad vance and if they see the opportunity; would not hesitate to Jump ship. At Howard-street wharf the packet George Curtis, of the North Alaska Sal mon Company, Is awaiting orders to go to sea. The cannery hands were being quartered aboard yesterday and the dock presented a scene of activity wlth the busy labor bosses bringing down their gangs of men and the specially employed watchmen patrolling the wharf, swinging ominous-looking sticks. The Alaska packers' ship Tacoma got away for Bristol Bay. She carried about S00 cannery hands, most of them Mexi cans and Spaniards with a few of the Filipinos who arrived Thursday on the Korea. Shortly before the Tacoma weighed anchor and towed for sea, a number of the cannery hands clustered to tha rail and pleaded to a launchman lying alongside to take them ashore. They offered to pay him t5 aplpce. On the North Bank of the Columbia GRAPES ALMOMDS Sundale produces the finest Black Hamburgs, Tokays, Malagas, Mus cats and other high-class European kinds.
