THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, JANUARY 3, 190J. T ran AUD TORS TO TAKE TICKETS Conductors Relieved of Task ,on Southern Pacific Pas senger Trains. NEW PLAN SOON IN EFFECT Train .gents anil ,1'k kct Inspectors Supplanted, aiwl Conductor Will Have Nothing to Io but Kun ills Train. A complete cliangn In' the methods of taking tickets on thc Southern Pacific trains on the main line will o Into effect within the next few Uays. The train con ductor will he relieved altogether from ticketing passengers or handling any money whatever. An additional function ary will accompany each train from one terminal to another and do ail such work. All the conductor of passenicer trains will have to do hereafter on the main line wll be to run his train. The change In train operation was to have gone into effect January 1. but the officials of the company had not gotten everything in order by that time and the new arrangement was deferred. It Is expected that witnin the present week the switch wiil be made. Although at present only the Southern Pacific main line In the Pacli.u system is affected. It Is expected the same plan will be fol lowed oa the O. Ac N. soon. The new system is followed- by many railroads In the Kast already. The plan is to substitute train auditors for train agents or ticket Inspectors, who hoard a train as it 1 pulling out from PortUnd or other terminals, and scan lh ticket held by each, passenger. Prem iums are placed upon bad tickets, held by other than the original purchaser. The train stent aim keeps a line on the con ductor of the train. The agent leaves the train at an out-of-town station, after he has Inspected all the tickets on board, and the conductor takes up the tickets himself. I nder tli new system, the conductor H1 not touch a ticket or handle a cent of money. The train auditor will make the whole run and will report to the auditor of the road at the headquarters of the railroad system. In other words, the plan will take the ticket business out of the hands of the operating department and put it in charge of , the auditing branch of the railroad business. It is said the change is made because tne con ductor on main line passenger trains has enough to do to run his train without acting as a human cash register and a bookkeeper in addition. Left to himself to operate his tram on time, it is be lieved better results will be obtained and there will be less liab.iity of accident. It Is also thought the new plan will allow less chance of "knocking down" through collusion between the conductor and the train avent. The change will affect about four ticket agents now on duty out of Portland on Southern Pacific trains. These men will be replaced from the office of the South ern, Pacttic. auditor at San Francisco by new men. RESURRECTION OF DEAD Writer Gives an Interpretation of Doctrine. NASHVILLE. Or.. Jan. 1. (To the Editor.) I noticed In The Oregonlan a criticism of the Apostle Paul's writ ing concerning the resurrection from the dead. Regarding I. Cor. xv:?. I wish to say there are two interpretations by Chris tian teachers. first: That the verse refers to persons having- been baptized In obedience to Christ In hope of , a resurrection from the dead through Mm: and if the doctrine then taught by some at Corinth that there is no res urrection from the dead, then they had been baptised for the dead. Christ dead, and not raised (v. IS.) Second: That the baptism spoken of in verse 29 refers to martyrdom (Mark x:38; I. Cor. xn:33U Paul connects verse 2 with the hourly Joopardy in which be stood and how be ha.' been placed In the arena at Ephesus to defend himself against beasts. He declared that were there no hope of a resurrection from the dead, he would not suffer those thing. but rather "eat. drink and be merry." This second Interpretation is the more agreeable to the context and the facts In the case. It is not at all probable that the first ministers of the gospel taugh or prac ticed proxy baptism. There is no other aerlpture that Intimates it. and the law of Interpretation Is "read aain." "com pare spiritual things with spiritual." "It Is written again.'' "In the mouth of two or three witnesses." As to Paul's illustration of seeds bringing forth other seeds (v. 35-38). It Is agreeable to other teachings with out the metaphor.

OF THE numerous "jokes" now going the rounds, the following is beyond I doubt the most overworked: I The "Joker" calls up the house num- her of a friend, and when the victim lakes down the receiver responding to the call, the "Joker" says: "Is this 1909?" "No, tils is 9009: you have the wrong number." replies the victim, without giv ing the matter a second thought, and hangs up the receiver. "Ha-ha-ha." laughs the "Joker." at at the other end of the line, and turns In his rapturous glee, doubled up In a knot with laughter, to report to his as sembled friends how the "Joke" worked on the latest victim.

Women Really Propose, But Men Think They Do It AH Poll Wool Over Masculine Suitors' Eyes, According to North Yakima Preacher, Who Has Stirred Up Seattle Clergy About Question. SEATTLE. Wash.. Dec. 30. (Spe cial.) Newton Ridell. a leading minister of North Yakima, has stirred up the. clergy of Seattle. Rev. Mr. Ridell In a' sermon a few days ago declared thut leap year should be taken advantage of by women before the year ends and that girls had every right to propose to men without in the least lowering themselves In the esti mation of the world. Rev. Ridell urged women strongly to take advan tage of their opportunities. None of the Seattle ministers favor the man who likes to hang around and eat fudge and run up the light bill. While admitting that a woman does nearly all the wooing, and is respon sible to a great degree for the plunge a man takes In the matrimonial sea, many think she should work silently and spring the trap so that the victim la caught unawares. "Proposals by women." says Rev. M. A. Matthews, "would be coarse and vulgar and would defeat the true end of matrimony." Rev. W. A. Major, who is a pioneer in Seattle and who holds a record for tvlng matrimonial knots, said he hated to tell tales about the fair sex. but that his experience with women had taught him that they were the real proposers in every case, but that men were influenced y the idea that the fair ones were merely choosers. "Women do propose," said Rev. Mr. BELL COMING SUITE Railroads Fighting for Honor of Carrying Relic SHAM BATTLES PLANNED For "Home-Coming Day," In Charge of Seneca Fout -Committee, Indian Attractions Are, Being Arranged. As & result of the efforts of the Rose Festival Association to secure the Lib erty Bell as an added attraction for PASSENGER REPRESENTATIVES the big celebration In Portland the second week of next June, the trans continental railroad lines have shown great activity in getting their Phila delphia agents at work. It has developed that the Harriman and Hill people will lock horns in a most vigorous battle for the honor of carrying the great trophy of American Independence across the continent, for both these systems appreciate the fact that it will prove a wonderful-advertising feature throughout the entire Journey to Portland and Seattle and back again. Assistant General Passenger Agent A. D. Charlton, of the Northern Pacific, and General Passenger Agent William McMurray, of the. Harriman lines in this territory, have been bending every energy to have the great trophy brought out to the Pacific Slope for the first time. Local representatives of both Hill I and Harriman interests with offices in ' Philadelphia are working tooth and nail with the executive and legislative departments of the city to secure fa vorablo action on the question of allowing- the bell to leave the "City of Brotherly Love" for the extensive trip to the Sunset Coast. Heady to Begin Floats. While no definite information has been received here, it is reasonable to suppose that if a satisfactory junket ing trip for the Philadelphia officials can be arranged, these will be no trouble about getting the Liberty Bell. Artists and designers who are to work out the subjects of the floats for the great electrical streetcar pa rade at night will be here within the next week or 10 days, and will begin their task of framing designs for the pieces to be Included in the illuminated pageantry. The artists who are com ing from St. Louis have for years been in the employ and under the tutelage of J. W. Harper, the master float-builder who constructed the floats for the last Festival. Mr. Harper will be here later ; and will superintend the final work "on i Troutdale Is making a new record by the parade features. . asking nothing.

I do not mean to say that they go about the work In the way an or dinary man does, and pop the question, but they artfully, ingeniously and cleverly lay the trap. So why should they not take a shorter way to end the suspense and become the real pro posers? I think it would be proper." But hearken to David E. Dugdale: . "Maledictions upon wiveless men." says the rotund baseball magnate. "I ' have been married happily for 10 years and think every man should be In my class. A man is not a man unless he has the sand to propose and I think a tax on the laggards should be dealt out those that live a care-free ex- : istence should pay for it don't print i this for my wife might see it. And here comes a woman's view. Mrs. Bessie Fiset. leader of women so cialists In Seattle, takes this stand. In the face of present conditions, she says women should propose in order to eat. In these days of soulless cor porations and wage slaves it is up to the women to do the choosing. "I think women should propose," says Mrs. Flset, "and when a man of their choice comes to the central point he should be asked firmly, yet politely: " "Will you be my meal ticket?' " Under questioning and seeking Just what ministers think of the leap-year problem, several ministers have stated that they Intend to take up the subject In a sermon next Sunday. have a committee of 15, which will be organized soon and this body will take this as a central Idea of a general "home-coming," with the pioneers, the Historical Society and Indian War Veterans. Sham Battles Planned. ' If it is possible, this committee will arrange for a jpeclal exhibition of some of the trying scenes enacted when the Oregon country was young-. Sham bat tles with Indians and similar stunts will be planned by Fouts' committee as soon as It gets down to working order. One of the first things( the "home coming" day committee will endeavor to Include in its list of attractions will be a real Indian battle, and negotia tions have already been considered whereby the Festival may secure a largo representation from both the Umatilla and the Nez Perce reserva tions. "We shall arrange for locating In dian camps in Portland for both these tribes." said Commander Fouts. last night, "and I believe we shall be able to pull off as fine a sham battle here in connection with the opening day of the next Rose Festival as was ever wit nessed In the Northwest. What we hope to be able to do Is to have a full repre sentation of all th- tribes of Indians in the Northwest brought together. Some WHO MET IN PORTLAND YESTERDAY TO TAKE PART IN "FAMILY" of them we may not be able to secure unless we may be able to make them a special attraction at some of the local theaters for the whole week. In that case, we shall do our best to secure a large circus outfit and have an exhibi tion of the Indian life ot this part of the country as near to Nature as it Is possible to devise." Word has been received from Luther Burbank, the wizard of the .flower world, that he will come here for "Rose Planting Day" on Washington's birth day if he possibly can. He has given but little encouragement to this plan because of some experiments he is now making and which he hopes to publish to the world In the next few months. Whether he comes or not. Dr. Emmet Drake, who has charge of the day's programme, says that he will have en tertainment enough to attract the at tention of the city. All he asks is a reasonable amount of support from the public. He says his committee is ready to do the rest. w FIELDS STATES TUX LEVIES STATEMENT SHOWS ESTIMATE ' IXJR SCHOOL FUND.

He was in such a maudlin condition that he was unable to speak his name or give any Information about himsenf. He had climbed into ad express wagon, at Sixth and Stark streets, and fallen asleep. The driver was not aware of his presence until he received a call and started to drive away. Discovering his guest asleep in the bed of his wagon and the cause of his predicament, he drove to police headquarters, where the occupant of the wagon was removed to a cell.

STANDS BY CHARGE Johnson Ready to Testify as to Rockpile Abuses- CITES FACTS IN SUPPORT Records Show That A. C. Knause, Whom Guard Accuses of Causing Grover Duffey'g Death, Did Xot Complete His Sentence. Alleging that he will prove his charges of Irregularities at the county rockpile, J. P. Johnson, e. guard at the institu- .V tion, reiterated his accusations against Superintendent Brlggs, A. C. Knauae. a prisoner, and the County Court, yester day. Although the Commissioners branded Johnson's story as without foundation of fact, he says he will. stand by every word he has said and will add vastly to his revelations when ho is called before the county grand Jury. District Attorney Cameron will summon him before that body during the next few days, it is an nounced. ' While Johnson is acclaimed by the Com missioners as a disgruntled person who is not to be believed, yet the guard's story is given credit by the public records. Johnson, it will be recalled, appealed to the authorities to detain the prisoner Knause for the murder of a fellow-prisoner, Grover Duffey. When word was sent by District Attorney Cameron to the rockpile for the detention of Knause It came to light that the man was not there. And yet the records show his time was not up until January 9, 1909. He waa sen tenced to a term of 300 days for lar ceny from Dr. Clarence True Wilson's farm. Superintendent Briggs, of the rockpile, insisted that Knause had just been re leased at the expiration of his term of Im prisonment. At the rockpile. however. It was said he was released the day pre vious to the time named by Briggs. Any way, the man Is gone and there does not seem any prospect of the investigation Into Duffey's death going much farther. County Physician Geary said yesterday that Duffey died from natural causes and that a beating at the Jail had no effect on his condition. And yet the fact that Duffey died immediately after being starved for 48 hours and then beaten se verely Is a most unusual coincidence, if nothing more. Those facts, too, are a matter of record. "I expected to be called a liar by my superiors," said Johnson yesterday. "I expected them to deny it. But they can't get around these facts: that Grover Duffey was a well man on November 16, that he was starved for 48 hours, beaten, and then that he died two days later." In regard to a statement of the Com missioners that Johnson was discharged, the guard defies them to prove any such statement. "They know I was not fired," he said. "I quit because I could not stand for the rotten conditions out there. And they say that the prisoners quit when the rockpile was at Linnton be cause of my brutality, and that I had to take a vacation. Well, they did ask me to quit then. Sometimes when an em ployer is tired of aJi employe he fires him. But did they discharge me? . They did not. They told me if I would be good enough to quit until after election they would hire me back at an Increase of wages. And I- got the increase. My sal ary has been the same as that of Super intendent Briggs and the records show It. "As I said in the first place," concluded Johnson, "my one motive In this matter is to expose a few things. 1 haven't ...f f hut when I go before the grand jury I will tell everything I know." SCIO PRINTER IS ACCUSED Boys Arrested in Portland ' Get Stolen GoodsFrom Him. ALBANY, Or., Jan. 2. (Special.)

How One Father Did for His Son. One-Slded Telepbone Message Shows How Youtli. Anxious to Work, Changed His Mind. THIS is one end of a telephone conver sation that was carried on between a young man standing in a cigar store and his father. The time was shortly after seven in the evening, when it was raining In torrents. The young man was "modishly dressed," as they say in the society columns, and his trousers were turned, up far enough to show that he wore bright green socks. Said the youth: "Father, may I come home to supper?" "No. sir, not yet." "No, I couldn't get a job anywhere." "Yes, sir.' MEETING. "Well, I tried everything from officeboy to valet and chauffeur."
