In such a plan men have found that they have a place In the church with plenty of work to do, and it Is one of the chief eye-openers of the day that this movement has shown men that the church is not for women and chil dren only. .It Is an' organized effort to prepare .the way for the solution of. the. great social "problems with bring together men. of so many, varied which society is confronted, beliefs and. . activities. - Wore recently j .: u is a crushing refutation , of the the Central Trades .Council endorsed theory that the church has no mos the. movement after thoroughly look- sage for men.'

The organization for. the Walla Wal la territory Is along practically the same lines as were suggested by the convention at Buffalo as may be Indi cated by a quotation from the resolu tions adopted at that time: "Resolved, That as men of America representing H tJfTO,:una -now being carried to a every section of this continent and : ' jfcwrous sand . certain ' conclusion . sr-smghout the length and breadth of ifarth 'America by organized commlt m tif -men representing all religious aSts:-and mil men's organizations alm .isyyftt better things for. humanity, yessmttreas of men In scores of cities tOmuiighout th"e land nre now engaged t. caning the work laid out for them tnrnnPmrotiii Tines at that time, and not T-Sanrat active among them is Walla "SWfifflln,' which Is taking the lead as the VEazsrest city in a large territory and 'Cwsrow -preparing to carry the move- prnctlcally every aspect of evangelical faith assembled in conference in Buf falo, we hereby .record our solemn conviction that our divine Lord is cal ling the manhood of our days to a new and unusual consecration for ser vice.'

Cursory Investigating and probing hnve failed to disclose the exact loca tion of the bullet which lodged In the hip of Lon Dotson, a South Union res ident, who was brought to La Grande on last night's train after a sbooting affray at Union precipitated, It is said by the action of Dotson and a strang er trying to affect entrance Into the home of L. P. Kirby presumably for burglary purposes. Dotson is still In the hospital' but his condition will likely not become at all serious. He Is under arrest. . ; ,, -', , Klrby Not Arrested. '.. Union,: Jan. 18, (Special) L. Pv Kirby who admits having shot at and bit Lon Dotson of South Union last night, is at liberty today and probably will not be prosecuted. , He asserts that he opened fire on two would-be burglars and that he shot to kill and the officials find tracks In the snow about the home that appear to sub-1 stantlnte Kirby's assertions. The oth er man is still at large and if officers know his Identity, they do not admit it. When the shooting occurred Mar shal Huffman loft Tils home In South Union and Btepped to his veranda from where he saw a man passing. Indicat ing that he had been at the scene of the Bhootlng but If Ills identity was known to Huffman, he does not Indi cate It. t Investigation today discloses that Dotson hnd been drinking during the evening prior to the shooting, but was not believed to be much affected by it. . , A touch of mystery Is added by tho assertions of Dotson. Soon after tho shooting, thut he lias no remembrance of having tried to burlarlze any home, qnd offers the Information that he waB going home when, as near as ho can remember, someone jumped upon him from a dark alley or a wooapue. Other than this he claims to have no recollection of what occurred. Kirby's story Is that there were two men and that when the lire arms were cut loose Dotson alone was hit while the other man fled. Officers evidently believe Klrby for they have made no effort to arrest him. The bullet lodged In the hip and Dotson was taken to La Grande short ly afterward to be given treatment In the hospital there. Dotson crawled to the home of Mr. Brown before giving the alarm that he was shot.
