MINISTER AGAIN ACCUSES District Attorney Says Graiul Jury Recently Held Gambling Kvidence Insufficient City Has Detec tives Making Search PENDLETON, Or.. March 3. (Spe cial.) Chief of Police John Kearney, charged by Evangelist Bulgin with re ceiving money for the protection ol prostitution and Rambling:, brands the charges as absolutely false and with out foundation and insists he will call upon the evangelist to prove them. Circuit Judge I'helps today said Jt would not be necessary to send for Governor West in erder to secure a grand Jury Investigation. "If Rev. Mr. Bulgin or anyone else has any pos itive evidence against gamblers he can get a grand Jury to hear it mighty quick," lie said. lnventlg;atiott Lately Made. District Attorney Steiwer said he had no knowledge of the charges made other than, what had been reported to him by persons in attendance at the meeting last night and that he had not received a message from the Governor. He said he had subpenaed between 30 and 40 witnesses before the last grand jury in an effort to secure indictments against persons alleged to be fam bling or permitting gambling in their places of business, but that while some evidence was secured, the grand jury did not deem it sufficient to return in dictments. He said many of the per eons named by the evangelist as pos sible grand jury witnesses had already been before that body. J. E. Montgomery, chairman of the police committee of the Council, and who is a member of the Bulgin meet ings' choir, refused to make any state, luent for publication. He admitted, however, that detectives had been em Ployed some time ago by members or the Council to investigate gambling charges and that when this evidence was presented to the Council a week ago that body decided to wait until after Bulgin left before taking it up. "We have nothing to say at the pres ent time," he said, "but may have a statement to make later relative to the situation." City Greatly Stirred. Mayor Matlock and City Attorney Carter refuse seriously to consider the charges. The city as a whole, however, has been greatly stirred. There were two big meetings tonight, one church meeting and one anti-church. The former was addressed by the evangel ist in the Bulgin Tabernacle, which was packed by more than 2000 per sons. The second was addressed by Rev. A. L. Lucas, of Walla Walla, in the Oregon Theater, to an audience of 1000. Mr. Lucas came over to re ply to the charges made by the local ministerial association that lie haxl been arrested in Denver for distribut ing immoral literature among the high school girls of that city; that his moth er was a quarter blood negro; that he was backed by the saloon interests, and that he was a champion of the devil. Stacking $1000 in gold on the table in front of him, he dramatically defied his accusers to appear and prove any one of the charges. The Lucas controversy is due to a lecture he delivered here preceding the opening of the present series of re vival meetings. Following his lecture the local ministers made the above charges, saying In; had come over here in an effort to detract from the revival meetings. They also said he had been arrested and jailed in Dayton, Wash., lor distributing pernicious lterature among school hoys. The Dayton arrest was not denied. Damage Suit Threatened. Lucas announced that be would sue his accusers for J50.000 damages. Evangelist Bulgin speaking tonight on "Bulgin, Blackstone, Bootlegging and Booze," reiterated his charges that there is open and notorious violation of the laws in this city, and declared that instead of closing his meetings in this city next Saturday night he has changed his mind and is going to stay In Pendleton "until, war is over." "1 want to tell you right now that we have evidence enough in our hands to send several men to the penitentiary and some of them are mighty Im portant, too. I know that If Governor Wejit conies here and removes these crooked officials"and puts in a special grand jury with a square judge you'll get a square deal, and we will send the grafters up." Tlie formation of a Law and Order League was perfected tonight and ad ditional names were secured to the pe titions calling upon Mayor Matlock to discharge his present police force. MRS.

I . ... .......... SOCIAL SERVICE 111 Miss Theodora Booth Fond of Gayety and Pretty Clothes. HOSPITAL COURSE TAKEN Daughter or Volunteers' Leader De clares Absence of Parents De tracts From Pleasures of Visitors of Her Own Age. BY EDITH KNIGHT HOLMES. Miss Theodora Booth, who has been visiting in Portland for a few days in company with her distinguished mother. Mrs. Ballington Booth, is a sweet, at tractive girl, who loves pretty clothes and flowers, house parties, outings and a good time. Besides this, she is studying nursing, actively interested in social service, keeps house for her father and mother, assists the latter as a confidential secretary and Is al together charming. She radiates good ness and happiness. We had the loveliest visit up In her room at the home of Mrs. Helen Ladd Corbett, where Miss Bootii was enter tained. "People sometimes expect that they will meet queer folks when they are to meet us," silid Miss Booth, "but at home mother and father are the jolliest people and love to have company just the same as anyone else does, and I have house parties, lots of my girl friends visit us and we don't have a bit of fun if father and mother aren't there. "I anr interested in hospital and so cial service work. A short time ago I entered a hospital to train. No one but the head nurse knew who I was. She asked me if I wanted really to learn or only to play at nursing. I told her that I was in earnest, and so she put me to strenuous training am bulance duty, the operating-room, des perate cases. She didn't spare me a bit and I am glad of it. for I learned so much about 'first aid to the in jured.' "My 'incog' worked beautifully until one day father came in and before them all called out: ' 'Hello, darling,' and kissed me. 1 There was consternation for a moment, and then he explained to the doctors and nurses assembled that I was his own daughter. "I just love social service work right In the hospital. It certainly is worth while to do things for the poor and the sick. Their faces light up so and they are so happy with just a little kind ness. "I have a scheme that I think will work beautifully. Like myself, there are ever so many girls tired of social trivlalties, and I'm going to get to gether several who are anxious to help, and they will devote certain hours every week to reading to the con valescent patients and making their lives brighter. The girls are very en thusiastic over the idea, and I am look ing forward to getting into harness after our trip." WOMEN COHORTS CLASH Oontinud From First Page.) cratic majority In the House will see its way clear to reconsider what after all was a somewhat unconsidered ac tion of the Democratic caucus." Mrs. Evans and Mrs. Benedict warned the Democrats not to "dodge the issue," and said that action on the suffrage question must be taken at this session of Congress. "Gentlemen," Mrs. Beard said, "you cannot answer us by shaking in our faces that tatterdemalion of a state's rights scarecrow and then expect us not to read the newspapers when you repudiate your platform and violate ex press state rights in the matter of a Presidential primary. You cannot tell us that the platform will not allow this suffrage discussion because it is silent, but will permit the repeal of the canal tolls exemption, which it ex pressly forbids. It is underestimating our resources to suppose that we can not put these facts into the hands of 15.000,000 voters, including more than 3,000,000 free women. The political party which will enter Into possession of the Federal Government March 4, 1917, will believe that woman suffrage Is a matter of National concern and transcendant National importance." Half Dozen Explain at Once. The representatives of the National Woman Suffrage Association dis claimed participation in the political warring of the Congressional Union, and for some time the committee room was in confusion when half a dozen women tried to explain things. At times during the hearings spectators who crowded the room gave vent to their feelings. Representative Heflin, of Alabama, who spoke against suf frage, was 'frequently hissed. Mrs. Arthur M. Dodge, president of the National Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage, conducted the oppo sition to the amendment.' - Mrs. Henry White, of Boston,' said woman had succeeded in getting all of her legal rights without the ballot and that the ballot was unnecessary. "The wise state recognizes that woman must be preserved for the work she only can do for the state," said Miss Alice H. Chittenden, of New' York. "When a woman attempts to fight with the weapons of men she Is playing a losing game." Transitory Workers Object. Miss Margery Dorman, of the Wage Earners' Anti-Suffrage League of New York, said that working women did not need the ballot: She said women in the labor world were "transitory and accidental," and could not have the experience necessary to cope with Government problems. . . In the course of the debate in the Senate, Senator Clapp said all the sinister influences of the country were lined up against woman suffrage. He said that he regretted good people in opposing suffrage allowed themselves to be used as a mask for these evil in fluences. Senator Bryan, of Florida, made the first extended speech against the amendment. He contended, first of all, that the states should be allowed to deal with the question, saying that California had no more right to say whether the negro women of Florida should vote than Florida had to say that the Japanese should vote in California.

NEW YORK MAKING AVENUES IN SNOW Work on Main Arteries Begins to Show, but Side Streets Are Still Blocked. 16,000 SH0VELERS WORK Perishable Foodstuffs Are Scarce, 011 Account of Bad Train Service and Fuel Is Lacking for Same Kcason. NEW YORK. March 3. New York dug itself part way from under Its deep blanket of snow and ice today and re-established something like normal communication with the outside world. Within the city 16,000 snow sliov elers, 2500 extra teams, the entire equipment of the street cleaning de partment, millions of gallons of water for thawing and flushing, and about six hours of warm sunshine made it possible to maintain on the trunk thoroughfares a semblance of normal traffic. Little, however, could be done on the side streets. Communication with outside points was on a basis greatly improved over that of yesterday's virtual' prostration of means of transit. Except In a few cases, railroad tracks leading into the city were made available for regular use, but trains during the day were still from 30 minutes to five hours late. Trolley car transportation continued crippled in suburban rural districts. Much improvement was effected in telegraph and telephone connections. In this city perishable food supplies, as milk, butter, eggs, fresh . vegetables and in some cases meat were in short supply, due to disorganized train serv ice and interrupted street traffic. The same conditions hampered coal de liveries. OREGON OOYS SUCCEED RALPH M. DODSON WINS PLACE AS BELLE VIE INTERNE.

The action of the Portland Commer cial Club in indorsing the Owyhee irri gation project in Malheur and urging that the Government assist it in every possible manner yesterday, brought forth from J.

The letter follows: On behalf of the Ontario Commercial Club I wish to thank the Portland Commercial Club, through Its board of governors, for the splendid resolution adopted. Indorsing the Owyhee irrigation projects. We ap preciate the great advantage it gives us in having the Indorsement of a powerful or ganization like yours behind us. We wish to throw all our energies toward the Owyhee project, as we consider It the most feasible and all the different sections are united on this one. After this Is in, it will be time to start investigation of the Malheur. The Commercial Clube of Boise, Idaho, re fused to Indorse resolutions favoring the building of the Owyhee, project. As Is gen erally known, Idaho has had some 917, 000,000 of the reclamation fund spent in that state on work no more feasible than the work on this side of the river.

Supreme Court Bleached Flour Rutins Will Permit Manufacturers ; to Put Poison In Products. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, March 3. There is a radical difference of opinion wnether the Su preme Court by its decision in the bleached flour case, impaired the use fulness of the pure food law. Dr. Wiley, who was largely responsible for the passage of the pure food law, con tends that the Supreme Court has nul lified the statute for which he made such a hard fight. Dr. Wiley further asserts that the law must be amended if It is longer to be effective. Representative Mann, of Illinois, who led the fight for the passage of the pure food law through the House, differs with Dr. Wiley as to the effect of the Supreme Court's decision. He says: "The decision deals with the prob lem as to the amount of poisonous substance to make the product dele terious to health, and does not, as 1 understand it, affect the adulteration or misbranding provisions of the pure food law. If there is in the product a poisonous substance so small in quantity that it is not deleterious the law did not attempt to cover that. In the bleached flour case it was con tended that some poisonous substance was used in bleaching, but not enough to injure health." Dr. Wiley has felt all along that the Supreme Court was antagonistic to the pure food and drug act. In view of the recent decision in the bleached flour case. Dr. Wiley says that Con gress should strike out of the law the words "which may prove harmful to health," so as to make the law abso lutely prohibit the use of any sort of poison In the preparation and manu facture of food products.

March 3, An extensive opium smuggling conspiracy, unearthed by Government investigators, came to light today and a lioboken hotelkeeper and two Mott street Chinese were placed under arrest. Opium, alleged to have been smuggled from Germany, was seized in a house in Chinatown.

The method used by the smugglers con sisted in employing a stevedore in Bremen, who carried the opium on board ship concealed In life preservers. There it was given to a member of the crew who acted for the smugglers. On arrival at New York an' American longshoreman was employed to take the opium to the hotel in Hoboken, whence it was removed to Yee Sang's shop in Chinatown. The discovery of 18 pounds of the drug concealed in a lecret panel in the shop led to the arrests. It Is be lieved the conspirators figured on realizing more than $1,000,000 an nually.
