ASHLAND. Or., Jon. 31. The
Baptist church of this city today
became the center of a religious
and legal controversy when It split
Into two factions and one started
suit against the other and obtain
ed an injunction restraining that
faction from disposing of any of
the church property. The petition
was heard by Circuit Judge Thomas
today at Jacksonville.
Rev. B. C. Miller, pastor of the
church Bince 1921, preached the
true doctrine of tha Baptist
church until September, 1922, ac
cording to the petitioners for the
Injunction, when he was accused of
having embraced the Almee Mc
pherson four-square gospel, a new
creed movement promulgated at
Ashland by an evangelist. Dr.
Price, who conducted a monster re
vival here.
The petitioners further charged
that Rev. Mr. Miller, by proselyting
and through his sermons and teach
ings has used his influence among
the members of the Baptist church
to persuade them to desert the
fnlth of the Baptist denomination
and to embrace the McPherson
creed.
The climax In the disruption of
the church population was said to
have come recently, when the new
members of the church and the
"minister, according to charges, com
bined and expelled more than 60
original members of the church who
continued to embrace the Baptist
doctrine. These expelled members
Included many of those who were
Instrumental In financing and con
structing the new church edifice,
w hich Is under dispute.
The plea for the restraining or
der recites the allegation "that tip
on Information and belief, the de
fendants are seeking to mortgaee
the church property and sell the
parsonage house and lot.
"Fraud, proselvtlng, dishonesty,
deception, hypocrisy, mesmeric In
fluences, and illegal assumtion of
church power and church property."
are also charged In the complaint.
with the further claim that mem
bers who founded the Baptist
church in 1884. have been denied
admission to the house of worship,
and notified of their expulsion from
membership.
According to the legal document,
' the trouble started In 1921. shortly
after the departure of B. C. Price,
a "divine healer." whose meetings
In Roseburg and Albany, created a
stir, and were the cause of a con
troversy In.Medford.
It is set forth that In 1921. the
Ashland Baptist church, "engaged
one B. C. Miller, to be a true mem
ber of the Baptist church and an
ordained minister thereof, to fill
the pulpit, and, he still does, In
cluding the parsonage."
"In 1922," It is further stated, "he
embraced the schism known as the
Annie McPherson teachings, the
four square gospel and the new
movement, promulgated at Ashland
by B. C. Price and by proselyting
and through his sermons and teach
ings has Industriously and continu
ally used his Influence and efforts
to Induce members to desert the
Bapilst faith and embrace the oth

CHICAGO, Jan. 31. Successful
results even with severe and com
plicated cases of scarlet fever, as
indicated in a dispatch from Hart
ford, Conn., Thursday night, have
been obtained by the use of the
Dochea serum, the American medi
cal Association announced today.
The results as found by Dr. Fran
cis O. BIyake, of New Haven, Conn,
must be checked up, however, ac
cording to Dr. Morris Fishbeln, edi
tor of the Journal of the American
Medical Association.
The serum used was that of Dr.
Alphonse R. Dochei, a well known
medical Investigator In New York
City, formerly of the staff of the
Rockefeller Institute for medical re
search, who Isolated the specific
scarlet fever organism a year and
a half ago. Dr. Dochez was born in
San Francisco.
Presumably a strong serum was
used In the cases reported, accord
ing to Dr. Fishbeln, whose records
showed that while the general
death rate among children afflicted
with scarlet fever Is from six to
eight per cent. In the complicated
cases the death rate Is as high as
18 per cent, while In the cases ob
served by Dr. Blake there was only
one death In a total of 28 cases
with complications and that death
occurred among the 19 patients who
were not treated until after the
fourth day.

BREAD DUE FOR
PRICE ADVANCE
(AaocbM Prra Leued Wire.)
CHICAGO, Jan. 31. A loaf of
bread may cost from one to three
cents more here as a result of in
creased flour prices brought about
by the advance in wheat, accord
ing to Dr. H. E. Barnard, direc
tor of the American Banking Insti
tute. Other cities may have the
same tendency, he said.
Tha advance of S3 a barrel In
the price of flour adds one cent a
pound to the cost of bread which
retails here at 7, 8 and 10 cents a
pound loaf according to quality and
the district In which it is bought.
The small baker, whose low
priced flours are exhausted, must
buy at the higher prices, Dr. Barn

BUILDING BDOM NOW STARTING
si 111 GO OVER HALF MILLION
ACCORDING TO INDICATIONS
Enough New Improvement Now in Sight to Amount to
Appromixately $500,000 Many New Projects
Await Outcome of Pending Negotiations
New Industries Coming.
Roseburg Is entering upon the
greatest building boom In Its his
tory, according to all Indications,
and It is believed that during the
current year building records
will surpass all past figures and
set new high marks In all lines.
.Already sufficient building Is In
sight to place the record near the
half million mark, and It Is be
lieved that that figure will be
passed before the year is over.
Last year the records showed
more residence building than
ever before. Hundreds of new
homes were built, but there were
few business structures. This
year tho construction is turning
back to buildings of a business
nature, and already plans have
been made for a number of large
and Important structures.
Several are already underway
and will be ready for occupancy
within a Bhort time. The Skaggs
grocery is putting In Its fixtures
and equipment ready to occupy
one half of the new concrete
structure which is Just being
completed by Foster and Agee.
It is located just north of the
telephone exchange building.
Workmen are today putting out
the big sign over the blue front,
and the grocery will be ready
for business within a few more
days. The workmen are putting
the finishing touches to the ad
joining store room which will be
ready for occupancy early In the
month. This storeroom has not
yet been leased, but several
firms are negotiating for it.
A. J. Young Ib making a num
ber of substantial Improvements
at the auto camp grounds. Three
fine new store buildings have
been added and permanent Im
provements made In the camp It
self affording one of the best
camps for the accommodation of
auto tourists In the northwest.
Wells and Chase are complet
ing a new enrage building on
North Jackson street. Just north
of the Sykes building, and will
soon he ready to occupy the
structure with their Willys-Overland
agency.
Hugh Harrison Is building a
big garage building on Stephens
street Just back of Newlnnd's
garage. This structure will be
occupied by Mr. Hnrrlson's repair
shop, and also by Roy Cach
ing's machine shop and Essex
and Hudson aeency. This build
ing was started three weeks ago
by Contractor Metzger, who ex
pects to be completing the struc
ture within the next ten days.
Ground Is now being broken
for the new hotel building at the
corner of Stephens and Lane
streets. Plans are now being
made to Increase the size of the
building, which was originally
planned for three stories. It Is
verv probable that It will be
built five stories high.
The biggest project now In
sight Is the construction of the
new high school building. The
site for this school will be select
ed by the special advisory elec
tion to he held on Saturday, Fe
bruary 7, and Immediately after
that time the plena will be pro
cured and building operations
will start. It Is expected that
this will be one of the finest
school buildings In the southern
part of the state and will he
constructed with a view of fu
ture expansion in mind. The
board Is issuing bonds In the
sum of $165,000 to build the
school.
Work will be started next
month. It Is expected, on the re
Athletes and Future Citizens
Demoralized bv Alumni With Bad
Practices, College Head Charges
NEW YORK, Jan. 31. Charges
of encouragement by college alum
ni of grart In athletics and of drink
ing of liquor have created a fu
rore among the graduates of west
ern conference universities living
In New York.
Vigorous Informal rilsrusslnn
arose after the charges were made
last night by Charles Runs Rich
ards, president of Lehigh Univer
sity, at the annual dinner of the
New York Association of Western
t.'nlversltiea.
"Very largely through alumni. In
: tcrcolleglate athletics hsve been so
prostituted as to render them nol
I tlvely undesirable In their effects
i upon the general character and the
professional ethics of college stu
dents." Mr. Richards said.
"When certain winning teams of
our athletes are subsidized nv one
device or another, and the spirit of
graft and hypocrisy ia thus openly
modelling of the Roseburg Na
tional bank building. The final
plans are now being drawn sev
eral changes having been made
in the original specifications.
This improvement is going to
give Roseburg one of the most
beautiful bank buildings to be
found on the coast. For many
years Mr. Booth has had this
project In mind and has studied
the buildings of the country with
a view of making the new bank
building here one which will be
a real memorial to the city's
progress. It will be along a style
of architecture new in this city,
and will be luxuriously fitted up
Inside. . The architects are now
getting out the final plans, which
will be ready for definite consi
deration and adoption within a
few more days.
Another big project Is the
Coen box factory and lumber
yard. This project will bring a
new industry which will furnish
employment to several men and
will be an Important factor In
the city's business. ,
Two new garage buildings are
being planned and will probably
be constructed on Jackson street
south of the Deer Creek bridge.
These plans are still Indefinite,
but will probably materialize In
the late spring or early summer.
The News-Review plans on the
construction of a home for Its
newspaper and Job printing
plants during the year. The
company has purchased the old
"Stanton property Just south of
the Model llakory, and expects
to build a structure which will
give the room so badly needed,
the present quarters being great
ly congested as a result of the
expansions made 'to keep pace
with the growing business.
The Douglas County Flour
mills have arranged to replace
their present wooden building
with a reinforced concrete mill
and warehouse during the month
of April. This will give the mill
a fine and well equipped place
for the manufacture of flour,
and will give the necessary space
for the expansion of the rapidly
growing feed and grain business.
The Baptist church Is planning
on the construction of a Sunday
school building In the near fu
ture. The present church build
ing Is too small to accommodate
the largo Sunday school, and It
Is proposed to erect a building
equipped exclusively for Sunday
school purposes.
Ilesldes these projects, which
have been enumerated, there are
several buildings In contempla
tion, which are contingent upon
pending negotiations, and these
may result In still further con
struction work, but nt this time,
the plnns are not sufficiently far
advanced to warrant definite
statements.
All Indlcotlons, however, point
to a building boom which will
mark a great forward movement
In the city's progress. At least
three big firms are considering
locating branch houses In Rose
burg. and will want suitable
quarters. Local businesses are
expanding, and In view of the
persistent optomlstlc tone of bu
siness, there Is no question but
that the year 1825 is to show
one of the biggest outlays In the
way of building and Improve
ment that the city has ever
known.
Miss Rose Smith, who spent yes
terday here visiting, returned to her
home at Portland this morning.
I and flagrantly encouraged, the col
lege hoy Is led to believe that anv
! thing Is right If you can gel br wlih
j It. Men thus educated will be more
dangerous to society than the un
educated gruffer or crook.
I "Again, the alumni constitute one
I of the most serious menaces to the
i development and mslntenance of
! proper moral standards among
i students. Mnnv college students to
day seem Inclined to go to greater
1 excesses In the uses of Intoxlcat
; lng liquors than In the post. College
officers are doing everything In
their power to rreste a proper re.
stralnt against these evils, but
their task Is rendered vastly more
difficult hen alumni of a frater
nity carry liquor Into the frster
. nlty house and when It seems
necessary that every alumni dinner

supply the stimulus for what Is ro
I garded as a hilarious time."

Local Man Has Support of

STATE HOUSE. Salem, Ore.,
Jan. 31. A possible way out of the
deadlock over appointment of a
I'nited States attorney loomed here
today with the starting of a boom
for Louis E. Mean, of 'Eugene, as a
Compromise candidate.
Senators and representatives gen
erally signed a telegram that went
forward tonight to Senators Mc
Nary and Stanfield. urging Mr.
Dean as a happy compromise, both
senators bo far having been unable
to agree upon a recommendation
for the place.
Senator McNary has consistently
been for Georgo, Neuner of Rose
burg and has desired very much to
give the appointment to him, while
Senator Stanfield has been
strongly for Robert Kuykendall of
Klamath Falls. Neither, it seemed,
would yield to the other and the
vacancy his existed in the Portland
office for months.
Mr. Ilean. It Is believed by mem
bers of both bouses, would make a
splendid federal attorney for the
riruvnn riiutrlef anil hl frenvrutihln
location meets the desires of both I
senators, since it was desired to
succeed Judge Coke, resigned, with
a man from weBtern Oregon, south
of Portland. I
The legislature seems filled with
friends of Mr. Dean, who was a
member for years, serving In both
houses with distinction, and as a
speaker of the house four years. It
is realized here that Mr. Ilean is a
friend of both Mr. Kuykendull and
Mr. Neuner and that he would not
compete with either for the post.
Hut his friends here feel that in
the event of a disagreement be
tween the senators that cannot be
overcome, his appointment would
not be at all displeasing to either
of the two leading candidates.
The following telegram was sent
to Washington tonight:
Hon. Charles L. McNary. Hon.
Robert N. Stanfield. United Slates
Senators. Washington, D. C. Gen
tlemen: In view of apparent inabil
ity to agree, we feel that Louis E.

CANDIDACY

HOUSE, PEEVED AT
POSTAL PAY BILL
(AaorUtrd Tnm Lmnd Win.)
WASHINGTON, Jan. 31. The
postal pay and rate Increase bill
passed late yesterday by the Ben-
ate today appeared to face a clos
ed door in the house.
Views in the house on both
Bides of the chamber that the Ben-
ate In originating the bill has
usurped the constitutional prerog
ative of the house to Initiate all
revenue raising legislation, were
supported by the unanimous opin
ion of a sub-committee of its ways
and means committee.
Despite two decisive notes, in
which the senate took the position
that it was not originating rev
enue raising legislation In approv
ing Increases In mail rates to
meet th ecost of postal salaries
Increases, a recommendation was
before the house to return the
measure to the senate because of
this feature of the bill.
The measure has been consid
ered by a sub-committee of the
house post office committee, but
action by the full committee would
be necessary before the bill could
be brought before the house In
case It Is returned to the senate
prior action on the house side
thereby be made.
Return to the senate of the
bill will be proposed by Chairman
Green of the house ways and
means committee when the meas
ure reaches the house. The com
mittee approved such course.
The majority vote In the house
will be sufficient lo turn back the
bill. .
