ROSEBURG, OREGON, FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 27, 1008.
ITS THE CHURCH
Disgraced Minister Hands in
Resignation
SIGNS HIS NAME "CLARKE"
Letter From His Consort Takes Nerve
Oat of Summers Leaves for
Texas Saturday
It Is "Reverend" George Clarke
Summers no more; It 1b Just the
name without the ecclesiastical prefix.
The man who Is going back to Texas
from Roseburg to answer to an In
dictment charging him with swind
ling has severed his connection with
the ministry of the Methodist Epis
copal Church, and his membership as
well. He has not confessed to the
charged contained In the Indictment,
but in the eyes of his church he Is
guilty of a far more serious offense,
the violation of the Seventh Com
mandment. Summers' resignation from the
ministry, in written form, was plac
ed In tho hands of Rev. James K.
Hawkins, pastor of the Methodist
Church, of this city, this morning.
To that gentleman he also turned
over his credentials. The Tull text
of the resignation follows:
"Roseburg, Ore., 11-20, 1908.
"To the Oregon Annual Conference:
"I, the undersigned, do hereby
withdraw from the ministry and
membership of the Methodist Epis
copal Church.
"(Signed) GEO. CLARKE."
It will benotlced that the minister
'4igned his name as "Clarke." Wheth
er he intends to stick by this name
after arriving In Texas Is a matter
of .conjecture. He will have a ion?

tlme to think matters over, however
because court meets In Throckmorton
the town where he was Indicted, on
ly twice a year.and the next Bession
will not open for nearly six months
during which time he will remain In
jail, unless he furnishes a bond of
ijuuu, which is altogether unlikely.
in signing himself as "Clarke" the
accused man may have been actuated
by a desire to conform to the church
records. His certificate of transfer
rrom tno south Methodist church In
Texas was Issued by Bishon McDowell
in the name of Clarke, and his cre
dentials from the Oregon conference
wore also drarted In that name.
From reports it seems that Sum
mers not only has given up the min
istry, mit nas lost the decorum that
goes with such a calling. His fel
low prisoners In the county Jail say
that Summers put in considerable
time last night cursing Jack Parrott,
of Gardiner, who was instrumental In
bringing about the minister's arrest
This morning Summers received a let
ter from his female companion. Miss
Bessie Massle, who is now enroute
from their former home at Gardiner
to Drain, preparatory to. taking the
train for her father's home at Throck
morton. The full text of tho letter
was not given out. but its enVvt nn
Summers was marked. After reading
It, he took on a crestfallen air, and
It Is reasonably surmised that the
woman Informed him of the fnef thm
she had confessed the whole affair to
Rev. M. C. Wire, district superin
tendent of the Methodist Church, who
Is aiding her, in her sickly condition,
to reach Drain with the two chil
dren that have been of Issue from her
unlawful union with Summers.
Sheriff Sperlock. of Throck mnrtnn
left here ths nfternoon for Drain to
arrango for the transportation of the
woman and the children to Texns
They will probably pass through here
tomorrow morning on the south
bound flyer. Sperlock will pick up
Summers at the depot here and the
quintette will journey together to
i nrocumorton, thus closing the sen
sational incident so far as the local
authorities are concerned in the mat
ter. THANKSGIVING FOOTBALL.

GOOD FOOT RALL GAME.
Drain vs. Roseburg, Score, 0 to 0, on
Thanksgiving Day. '
One of the most interesting gnmoB
of football seen here In a long time
was that witnessed at Rose Park on
Thanksgiving Day between Roseburg
and Drain teams, the line-up being as
follows:
ROSEBURG DRAIN

Perry, V.- F Shutt
in the flrstr half Roseburg gained
the kick-off to Drain. The latter
got the ball and soon advanced It
into Koseburg's territory. There it
alternated from one team to the other
and repeatedly got as far as Rose
burg's 15-yard Hue, only to be forced
back. Punts and other devices were
tried, but tho half ended with the
ball 20 yards from Roseburg's goal.
in tne second balf the uosltlons
and kick-off were reversed, in a few
minutes the ball was within 15 vards
of Roseburg's goal line. Then the
home team buckled down to its woik
and gradually worked Into their op
ponent's territory. On down the
field they crept nearly to Drain's goal
line but were forced back. Once
Roseburg punted the ball over the
goal from the 15-yard line, but this
was disallowed under the rules. Line
bucking continued back and forth un
til the time limit exnlred. the nlnv
finishing as before, about on the !n-
yard line, but this time In Drain's ter
rtory.. Neither side had been able to
score during the game.
ine referee was Dr. F. H. VIneM

ANNOUNCEMENT.
If tho man who can make other

ed to Ople Read. There aro few liv
ing American story-tellerB who can
reproduce for us more perfectly than
Mr. Read does, the speech, the man
ners, tho wholo social atmosphere of
ine rural south mid the rural West.
His Intest lecture, "First One Thing
and Then Another, " Is a sparkling
gem or iiumor and wit, not unmixed
with pathos. Strictly speaking, It Is
not a lecture at all, but an Informal
heart-to-heart talk that brings the
spe'nker into close Intimacy with his
hearers, and keeps them roaring with
laughter or brushing away the tears
inroiignout tne evening. On the plat
form, ns In his written works. Mr.
Rend shines with a brilliance nil his
own. everywhere he is received with
enthusiasm. The indescribable witch
ery of his words, the charm of his
volco and manner, the Influence of his
personality, combine to wenve the
magic spell that holds IiIb audlcncos
enthralled. He puts Into graphic and
picturesque lnngunge much that wo,
as Americans, hnve felt, but onlv
have dimly comprehended. Reminis
cence, criticism, Anecdote, historic
fact, and literary est I unite nro blend
ed so delightfully thnt it is dllllcult
to tell which presents the greatest
attractions for those who hear him.
Tho splendid genius of tho man
shines forth In everything lie snvs.

PULTON DYING HARD.
Seeks KxprcNslon From Taft to Rent
( hiiiiilicrlnln for Senator.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2(1. Senator
Fulton's mission to Hot Springs wns
to ask President-elect Taft to take a
stem! in tho Oregon senatorial sit
uation. Lending republicans In Oregon are
very strongly against tho election of
a Democrat to the senate, regardless
or tho fact that In the rocent prim
aries Governor Chamberlain defented
the republican candidate It Is ar
gued that under such a primary law n
declaration In favor of Mr. Chnmber-
Inin might nt boiub time result In
changing the complexion of the sen
ate. SI rung pressure, therefore, Is
being brought upon tho leglslnturo to
name a republican.
If Mr. Taft and Mr. Hitchcock took
the position thnt a republican should
be chosen, It Is said this would go a
long way toward accomplishing that
result.
