MOTHERS INDORSE BOY SCOUTS IDEA Patriotism, Self-Reliance and Personal Responsibility Said to Be Result. ATTACKS ARE DEFENDED Oregon Congreita of Mother Hears Reports or Work of Improving. Playground at Rural Schools Throughout State. The Boy Scout movement was un qualifiedly Indorsed aa teaohlng patriot ism and self-reliance by speakers at the regular monthly meeting; of tha Oregon Congress of Mothers, held at th Young Women's Christian Associa tion, yeaterday. Although no oftlclul Indorsement waa placed upon the move ment by any act of the congress, the general sentiment of those in attend ance waa one approving It. Various attacks on the Boy fecoul plan had been called to the attention of the congress at prevlou meetings, and a discussion of tha subject was made a special order of consideration for the meeting yesterday. Mrs. E. A. Richardson, a prominent social hygiene worker of Montana, visiting In the city, was the principal speaker on the Boy Scout subject. Th discussion was opened by Mrs. William Huyhurst, and an active part in It waa taken by Mrs. W. O. Evans. Bay Taaaht Patriotism. "Patrlotlam. one of the things that la neglected aa a rule in the home, I taught and loitered by Boy Scout or gan tsatlona," said Mr a. Richardson. "By It the boy are taught a personal re sponsibility, a aelf-rellance and a rever ence for their country's flag. Although th Boy Scout doctrine does not teach or advocate the use of arms, yet It fully prepares young men to defend their country should a war break out. They are trained to be brave, resolute and ready." It was explained by Mrs. Richardson that the use of wooden arms prescribed In the original manual was no longer a part of the Boy Scout training-, and bad been eliminated In the newest Boy Scout manual. Others of the speakers pointed out that the scout organisation met In many ways the wants of parents In solving the problem of raisins; and drilling with th boy. Mora Literature Needed. In a report from Mrs. L X. Walker, state chairman of the literature and educational committee, the need of more literature to aupply a constantly In creasing demand was emphasised. Mrs. Walker said that since the Child s Wel fare Congress, held here last Fall, the demand for literature had Increaaed vastly. She also reported that she ex perienced considerable difficulty In se curing literature on some subjects for which there were requests, citing In particular the subject of Instilling thrift and honesty In the child. Mrs. G. W. Evans, state chairman of the playground committee, made sug gestlona for, and told of. the progress of the work of Improving playgrounds at the rural schools of che state. She Is preparing a leaflet on this subject to send out to the psrents and teachers' clrclea of the schools In various parts of the state. Mra. Chris Matbiot. chair man of the membership committee, spoke on Increaalng the membership of th organisation. teaad Reads Advaeafed. A report and suggestions were re ceived from Mrs. C. D. Hoyt. chairman of the committee on good roads and rurnl school improvement. Mrs. Robert H. Tate, president of the congress, told of her work In the state during the preceding month. An attempt Is being made, she said, to obtain Mrs. Frank Ie Garmo. of St. Lout. National chair man of the good roads committee of th congress, and a member of the Na tional Bureau of Good Roads, who will be aent by the Government In June to Idaho to lecture on the good roads sub ject, to extend her tour to Oregon. The matter has been tuken up with Gover nor Wear. A vote of appreciation of the work being don by th Social Hygiene So ciety waa adopted by the congress. A meeting of the committee on the de pendent widows' pension fund was ap pointed for Friday afternoon. In the V. W. C A at 1 o'clock. A resolution was also adopted ap proving the action of Professor Hopkln Jenkins, principal of Jefferson High School. In requiring students of the school to give up extravagant forms of dress, and appear In more modest attire. Several inothera from the dis trict said that conditions had improved considerably slnre the action had been taken. PASTORS ARE AROUSED INDORSEMENT OF CANDIDATES IS NOW DENIED. That Office-Seekers Were Discussed I Admitted but Rumor That Body Took Stand Fal.c. A lively controversy has been aroused among the ministers who at tended Monday's meeting of the Port land General Ministerial Association as to whst actually transpired there so far as the discussion of candidates is concerned. All ar agreed that the association as a body did not formally Indorse any body, but there la a difference of opin ion a to whether the special commit tee composed of Rev. Messrs. J. W. Mc Dougall. William Parsons. W. K. Kea jror. F. O. Flndley. Luther R. Pyott and R. 8. Showera did or did not recom mend candidates for Indorsement. Mr. McDougall. who unwillingly took th position of chairman of th spe cial commute and who read th re port, declares emphatically that tha rotntntttee recommended no candldatea. "The names of all the candidates wer resd." he said yesterday, "but as ther ar so many good men running, ard as they have not all filed their declar ations with tbe County Clerk. It waa Impossible for th committee to make Its recommendations, la Justice to all. That waa what I told the ministers yesterday. But what I want to make emphatic Is that no candidates at all were indorsed. Tne ministers didn't indorse anybody. Th committee has now been discharged, and there will be no Indorsing of candidates by th association. "I have been accosted on th street bv candldatea slnre th meeting, and criticised for takins a stand with th t . . n InlnesiYtar ministers iu putittw) candidates. If some candidate' had come to us and had asked for our In dorsement we "might have tendered It to him. if he had been worthy of it, but you can see yourself we were not In a position to Indorse candidates who had not sought our indorsement, and to whom it might he .obnoxious." Rev. C E. Cllne said that it has been falsely msde to appear that there la factionalism among the ministers, and later said that "the most of the ministers are not In favor of going Into politics at all." but that "a few third-party Prohlbl tlonlsta among us' put one over on us at th meeting a month ago when the committee was appointed. We will not give them another chance." -We ar not Judges of the character of men." continued Mr. Cline. "and we don't profess to be. Among the can didates there are Methodists. Presby terians and Catholics, and, naturally, th ministers couldn't all agree on any one list of men. . ' "Just after Mr. McDougall started to make the report for the committee Mr. Larsen moved to lay the report on the table. But E. Nelson Allen, chairman of the meeting, decided that the report must be received before it could be laid on the table. So Mr. McPouesU wu allowed to proceed. Mr. Ayer, pas tor of the Methodist Church at Wood stock moved that the committee be thanked for its labors and discharged with the expressed view of putting the lid on the whole thins;." Dr W. B. Hlnson. of the White Tem ple, said: "Tha rumor about town that we unitedly stood back of certain can didates is false. Some men are saying; they got "the support of the ministers association. But nobody asked It, and nobody got It. It Is not right to hsve It said about certain candidates that they were rejected by unanimous vote of the ministerial association. As a matter of fact, the association didn t stand for anybody. When the report waa read the chairman of the commit tee said It was a fragmentary report, and necessarily so. He read the names of the candidates for each office for Instance read the names of Jones. Brown and Smith, said the committee had been unable to learn anything or Jones or Smith's record, but that Brown was a good man. and had a clean record so far as the committee could learn. But it Isn't right to have it go out that these candidates were unanimously turned down by the min isterial association." N O Hedln. of the Anti-Saloon League declared the report of the committee was a recommendation . of candidates. "If the committee didn t make recommendations. I dont know what else you would call It," he said. jurorTIallengeo STATE rsES FIRST PEREMP TORY IX HICKS TRIAL. Work, of Obtaining 12 Men to Sit In Murder Case Pro ceeds Slowly. W. K. Hall, chief clerk in the dining car supply department of the O.-W. K. A N. Company, was passed for cause bv both sides in the Hicks trial ye. terdav The state exercised its first peremptory challenge, excusing George Gammie. paying teller of the Ladd & Tllton bank. E. Halllnpsby. an em plov of the Portland Gas & Coke Urn. pan'y. was being interrogated "'hen court took an adpournment at 5 o clock last night. . The dav s proceedings were featured by li.e admiulxterlng of a rebuke to W . M Davis, special prosecutor, by Judge C.atens. Mr. Davis objected to certain questions being asked a venireman by Dun Malarkey. of counsel for the de fense, and the Judge overruled the ob jection. When Mr. Davis then demand ed to know If the Judge was going to permit Mr. Malarkey to argue with the prospective Juror he was met with a statement that he had no right to ad dress the court in such a manner. Judge Gatens announced that he would no lonieVr permit such wide lati tude In the questions being asked jur ors. Too much matter Immaterial in the examination of veniremen was be ing forced Into the record, the Judge said The statement was occasioned by the fact that Mr. Malarkey and Mr. Davis have apparently been vielng with each other In presenting their respect ive view of the case to prospective Jurors under the cloak of lengthy hypo thetical questions. ' The defendant, proprietor of a non union machine shop, being- on trial for the alleged murder of W. A. Wormian, a union machinist, each venireman who takes the witness chair Is closely ques tioned to discover his views relative to the respective rights of labor unionists and the proprietors of industrial es tablishments during strikes. The right to picket is the storm eenter around which scores of questions revolve. The clashes between Mr. Malarkey and Mr. Davis have been frequent and some times tinged with bitterness. K. A. Lambrrson. a realty man. was excused because he once belonged to the barbers' union. He expressed de elded sympathy for the cause of organ. Ized labor. The defense may yet exercise 11 per emptory challenges and the state five. The prospects of obtaining a Jury be fore the middle of next week at the earliest are discouraging. SHAW MADEJPRESS AGENT ."John Bull's Other Island" I" sed In Home Rule Campaign.- LONDON. March 2. (Special.) Bernard Shaw Is not only the Idol of an Intellectual class, but he stands very hlo in the regard of British press agents, who are once more praising his ability to keep the spotlight of public attention turned on himself. The latest Illustration is the republi cation of his Irish play, "John Bull s Other Island" at 12 cents, so that this powerful work may be used for propa ganda purposes in. the Home Rule campaign. ' Shaw supplies a preface of his own particular brand, a brilliant and dis cursive commentary on International affairs in the course of which he contrives to say some pertinent and provocative things about Irish Horn Rule. Addressing himself in one place to the Orangemen, he, says. "I think that If as a Home Ruler I can live in England and hold my own in a minnrltv which on some very sensitive points reaches the odds of about 1 to 41.000.000. an l-ISier uringenisn aouuoj be able to face Home Rule without his knees knocking shamefully In the face of a contemptuous England, which de spises blm none the less because his cowardice seems to serve Its . own turn." That .direct appeal to ' the Intelli gence of Irishmen comes at the end of th preface in woras as strung; ana simple as Shaw can make them: "When all Is said and done, it Is so certain that In the long run all civilised na tions must at tbe aame time becom more dependent - one on another" and do their own governing work them selves, that if Ireland refused Horn Rule now It would sooner or later be forced on her by England, because England will need all her time and political energy for her own affairs when once eh realises that the day for letting them alide and muddling through is past," Only 12 Days More TO GET A LOT IN LAURELHURST with the 15 per cent discount and second mortgage privilege ll-ssawasssssss.sssss-a 131 lots sold to home builders since February 15.

LETTER IS ACKNOWLEDGED Civil Service Employe Tells Mem bers of Board He Does Not Re gard as Wrong Efforts to Bnild Cp Own Business. Declaring that he Is the victim of persecution at the hands of Kalph t-. Clyde and J. U Ledwidge. members of the governing board of the Municipal Free Employment Bureau, John O. Srhroeder. the bureau's chief clerk, yes terday virtually defied the Board, to discharge him. A letter written by W. A. Ackerman and Schroerler to private firms so liciting business for a private agency they had organized caused two meet ings of tle Board yesterday, both of which were stormy, and at neither ol which was definite action taken. At a special meeting of the Board, held at noon. Mr. Ledwidge produced letters showing the action of the bu reau's chief clerk and announced that It was. to say the least, an act of in discretion. Mr. Ledwidge at first moved to dismiss Mr. Schroeder, but W. II McMonies. the third member of the Board expressed the belief that the clerk's act was only in the nature of an Indiscretion and not properly worthy of consideration so serious as to Justify dismissal. It was then re- . . . ; , I ChMulsr tlma tT solved 10 gio ---- reflect and to determine upon whether he would resign. Srkrordrr Is Defiant. Ralph C. Clyde, chairman of the Board called a second meeting for 5 o'clock at the City Hall. Mr. Schroeder was present and In no mood to resign or be dismissed. Much talk followed, all of the members of the Board frankly saying that they regarded Mr. Schroe der's action In writing letters to pri vate firms aa very indiscreet and as tending to hurt, the city bureau. Mr. Schroeder said that he felt jus tified in writing to private firms, as he was seeking to build up business for himself, and that, had he been suc cessful In so doing, he would have re signed his city position and given his entire time to his own work. "Admitting that I have been Indis creet." said Mr. Schroeder. "does that Justify you In demanding my resigna tion? I think if I resign I admit that I have done something wrong; I don't feel that I have done anything worthy of dismissal and therefore I do not In tend to resign. Case to Be XHaeaaaed A a f At the suggestion of Mr. Ledwidge. It was unanimously agreed that the Board will hold another meeting at 5 o'clock next Monday afternoon, at which the case will be fully gone over and soma action taken. In regard to the assertions of Mr. Schroeder that he is being "made a goat" by Messrs. Clyde and Led-widge, GOVERNING BOARD The Addition with Character both members of the Board deny this. Mr. Clyde said that the employment bureau has been run strictly neutral as regards union or non-union affairs, the only object being to make It a suc cess and its operation a benefit, both to the employer and to the working men. "Mr. Ledwidge has been after my scalp ever since I once employed a non union plumber to do some work In the office." said Mr. Schroeder. after the meeting yesterday afternoon, in explaining his side of the case. "He was furious because J did this. He has also been trying, in co-operation with Mr. Clyde, to force me to refuse workmen to non-union firms and on non-union jobs. Clyde la Accused. "For instance. I sent some men to the Harrlman officials some time ago, not knowing where they wei-e to be put to work, and when it developed that they were put to work in the place of strikers. Clyde gave me par ticular fits. The fact Is. I am not wanted by Clyde and Ledwidge. for the simple reason that I will not be handled in the interests of the unions." The position of chief clerk pays $100 a month and is under civil service. If the Board wishes to dismiss Mr. Schroeder, it will have to prefer writ ten charges against blm and give him a hearing. The Civil Service Commis sion recently reinstated C. M. Ryner son, formerly chief clerk of the bureau, and it is the assertion of Mr. Schroeder that Mr. Rynerson is slated for the position In case the Board succeeds In ousting Schroeder.

Riley, chairman of the Columbia bridge committee, appointed from the Commercial Club by President Piper, called his committee together for a conference yesterday, the first thing that was done,' before the meet ing was called to order, was the sub scription of one-tenth of the $2500 the committee will try to raise by its mem bers themselves. T. M. Anderson, hon orary chairman of the committee, head ed the list with 100. We expect to make a whirlwind campaign of it," said Mr. Riley last night, "and I think we will have no Successful Growth After all is said and done, the most practical proof of a suc cessful financial institution is its steady growth. .
