t THE MORNING OREGOXIAN. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 25. 1903. 6 START WORK FOR SUNDAY SCHOOLS Oregon Methodists Will Secure Salaried Organizer for State. MAY REDUCE DISTRICTS Resolution Promises Spirited De bate in Morning Session Lead ing Pastors Favor Change. . Reese Speaks for Xegroes. SALEM. Or.. Sept. 24. (Special.) After heartily applauding the assertion that there should b a Sunday school in every community with population enough to Justify the maintenance of a public school, the Oregon conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church adopted a resolution pledging the conference to pay the salary and expenses of a man who will devote his enrlre time to organizing new Sunday schools in Oregon. This action was taken in response to a plea by Rev. G. A. Blake, assistant sec retary of the Sunday School Board, who told the assembled Methodist ministers that there are in Oregon 100.000 children between the ages of 4 and 30 years, and that only 65.000 of these are enrolled in Sunday schools of the several denomina tlons. Both the Presbyterian and the Congregationalist Churches surpass the Methodists In Sunday school extension work, he declared, and Methodists should do their part In trying to reach the 95.OU0 children who do not now attend Sunday school in any church. This wis one of the most Important business transactions at the conference today. This morning Rev. F. L. Young introduced a resolution requesting the Bishop to reduce the number of districts from four to two. and because the reso lution Is expected to create extended dis cussion. It was made a special order for 10 A. M. tomorrow. The question is an important one, as it not only involves problem in church supervision, but be cause It has a bearing upon the assign ments that will be made by the bishop before the conference closes. Hughes Demands Early Action. After the resolution had been Introduced Bishop Hughes asked that It be given early consideration, for he is now work ing on the assignments of pastors for the comlne year, and if two districts are to be discontinued there will be two dis trict superintendents who must be given charges, and he intimated that they would have to be "well cared for." That means that two of the Important churches would be filled by men who are now dis trict superintendents. A district superin tendent was formerly known as a pre siding elder. The resolution recommending the change Is favored by a number of the leading pastors of the conference, among them being Revs. F. U Young, T. B. Ford. C. E. CUne. W. H. Heppe. Clarence True Wilson. C. U Hamilton, P. A. Fields, James Moore, Benjamin Young and S. H. Dewart. BlshoD Hughes spent the afternoon and evening in consultation with the four district superintendents regarding assign ments. Tills afternoon the Woman's Home Mis sionary Society held its annual session with President Helen M. Southwlck pre siding. The reports show that the so ciety collected and disbursed during tne vear J1129. for tne support of homes and training schools and for the aid of preachers whose salaries are insuffi cient. Miss Carrie G. Davis, superintend ent of the Oriental Rescue Home, at San Francisco, delighted the audience by In troducing a class of seven Chinese chil dren in native costume. Id by a boy who aptly Imitated the manner of a chorus director, the children sang several religious and patriotic songs. Reese Takes I'p gro Problem. This evening Rev. H. W. Reese, of 6eattle. formerly a secretary of the Board of Freedmen's Aid, delivered an address In behalf of that branch of the church work. He declared that there are in the South 6.OtO.no0 people who cannot read or write, and that 600 negroes are born every 24 hours. This rapid Increase makes deportation an Impossible solution of the race problem and presents the question of the hour, not what we shall do with the negro, but what the negro will do with us. He de clared that the negro of today has Amer ican ancestry extending back through SO years, and that the black man of the South Is loyal to the American flag. Education and Christian culture must make him a useful citlsen. The most hopeful circumstance in the condition of the negro is that he Is a Protestant, the speaker said, and he declared that negro education ' must not come under the con trol of the Roman Catholic Church. 'Every country which Romanism has dominated is packed with illiteracy." he asserted. "I am unalterably opposed to turning public education over to any church, and especially to the Roman Catholic Church. I want every man in America to have more respect for the roan who sits in authority on the banks of the Potomac than he has for the man who sits in authority on the banks of the Tiber."' Mr. Reese portrayed in a very convinc ing manner the need of education in the South. PRIMARY PROVES COSTLY r Continued From Flrt Page ) filed are: William Blackman. A. J. Splawn, P. S. Byrne and Jimmy Dur kin. candidates for governor: H. H. .Collier and H. II- Kulles. candidates for lieutenant-governor; Albert Schooley. candidate for land commissioner, and Eldridge Wheeler, candidate for school superintendent. Of the mlsing ones, the expenses of Senator Ankeny. Judge Humphries. M. E. Hay and Jimmy Durkin are said to have been large. None of the others is likely to exceed the average of $500 paid by the 50 candidates who have filed, and some will fall far below ihat. Spent More Than Official Salary. Of those who have filed, Ellis Mor rison, candidate for the Republican nomination as lieutenant-governor, ex pended more in proportion to the salary of the office than did any other candi date. Mr. Morrison certifies to expen ditures aggregating $1381.59. and was defeated for nomination to an office that pays but $1300 per year. It Is said that M. E. Hay. the success ful candidate for lieutenant-governor, admits having expended more than the salary he will receive for the entire four years of his tenure of office. Mr. Hay Is Wealthy, however, and desired the place for the honor. Charles E. Coon ran 71iv a close race by expend ing only $T5J while his fourth oppo nent. C- G. Austin expended but $215.30. Different Ideas seem to exist In the minds of the candidates as to what Fonsutut campaign expanses. S. O. Cosgrove. the uecessful candidate for Governor, Interprets tne jaw ia mean that he is not required to certify to his living expenses while campaigning. Mr. Cosgrove was away from his home almost continuously for more than 'a year, meeting voters, but while item izing his transportation expenses, made no account of his hotel bills. Large sums may have been contributed to ward his success by Cosgrove clubs, which are also not accounted for, while on the other hand. Governor Mead put in his hotel bills and the contributions to his campaign from other sources. Costly Campaign to Mead. As a result, while Mead's expenses run up to $3564.38, Cosgrove shows ex penditures of only $1569.01. Undoubt edly a campaign such as was conducted by Mr. Cosgrove, and for him by his friends, could not be duplicated for less than what Governor Mead expended, al though Mr. Cosgrove has probably fully complied with the law In certifying only to his personal expenditures. It is apparent from bis statement that others than himself paid for his head quarters in Seattle and for billing King County with 16-sheet posters. Governor McBrlde's expenditures in cluded tips to porters and other hotel employes not itemized In other state ments, and his aggregate expenditures of $818.87 also Indicate that others be- NEW DEMOCRATIC PRESIDE?. TIAI, ELECTOR.- i Angtist Hurkestein, of Salem. August Huckestein. of Salem, hat been selected by the Executive Com mittee of the Democratic State Cen tral Commltete to complete the party's electoral ticket in this state. He taVes the place of Bernard Daly, of Lakevlew. who found It impos sible to accept the nomination at the hands of the Democratic 8tate Con vention. Mr. Daly Is County Judge of Lake County, and In order for him to accept the place on the elec toral ticket it would have been necessary for him to reilgn the County Judgeship. Mr. Huckestein is a life-long Democrat and on several occasions has been the unsuccessful nominee for legislative honors on the Demcoratic ticket Id Marion County. side himself contributed largely to his campaign fund. For quick separation from himself of money. Judge W. H. Snell, of Ta coma. candidate for the United States Senate, holds the record. Judge Snell was in the campaign just a month, having filed his declaration and begun work the last day for filing declara tions of candidacy. In that one month he expended $1667.23. Congressman Wesley L. Jones, who gained the preference vote for United States Senator, Is the only candidate, other than Governor Mead, who ac counted for expenditures by other per sons in his behalf. -Mr. Jones' personal expenditures were $960.14. while the Jones Club of North Yakima contrib uted $2339.90. s Hair Has Not Been Told. The size of the figures representing contributions to campaign expenses by outside sources in behalf of Governor Mead and W. L. Jones, and a compari son with the stir made by them with that of other candidates, indicate that the expense accounts so far filed do not tell half the story. It Is likely that if all were told, by those who have filed and by the ones who have not com plied with the requirement of the law, it would be shown that at least $100,000 was disbursed in the recent campaign in legitimate campaign expenses.

MEDFORD LOOKS FOR GOOD ROADS Rousing Meeting of Enthusias tic Workers in Southern Oregon City. JUDGE SCOTT MAKES TALK Advocates State and County Appro priations Association Is Or ganized With Membership of Over 15 0. MEDFORD. Or., Sept. 4. (Special.) That the people of Medford and vicinity are thoroughly alive to the good roads campaign was emphasised today, and a most enthusiastic meeting was held. So thoroughly are Medford cltixens interest ed In the movement that the business houses were closed In ordor that the members might attend the meeting. The meeting convened In the Commer cial Club rooms and the hall was crowd ed. Judge William Colvig, president of the Commercial Club, presided. John H. Scott, president of the Good Roads Asso ciation for Oregon, spoke of the Impor tance of good roads and outlined the formation of associations throughout the state to work for the enactment of legis lation providing for the appointment of State Highway Commissioner, and for appropriation to construct one or more continuous lines of road through the state. He also advocated a state appro priation of $10,000 for each of two years with a provision that the county appro priate a like sum for the purpose of con structing a piece of permanent road In each county, so that eventually the roads so constructed in the various counties would unite and make some continuous lines of road throughout the state. Road to Lake Chief Topic. He stated that Multnomah County,. which pays one-third of all state taxes. Is will ing to make a state appropriation for road construction. All money so appro priated is to be expended under the direc tion of a state highway commissioner, who will also prepare specifications and bridge plans for use in the respective counties. He recommended the use of the state convicts for preparing road material for state roads. He spent a few minutes In explaining by diagrams on a blackboard how earth, gravel and macadam roads should be constructed. C. S. Jackson followed Judge Scott with an enthusiastic talk showing some of the benefits that would be derived from the building of the proposed road from Medford or some point on the railroad to Crater Lake by Klamath Falls. In speak ing of the cost of such a road, he stated that he believed that the counties of Jackson and Klamath would each give $00,000 toward the estimated cost, that the state would come forward with an amount equal to the combined appropria tion of the two counties, and the National Government would no doubt build the road In the reserve and park proper. The cost of building the highway would thus be easily met. County Bonds Advocated. R. G. Smith, of Grants Pass, advocated the issuing of county bonds for road bulldlng. County Judge Neil stated that he was at the command of the people and was more than willing to use his power to build the roads asked for by the people. He believed In the organisa tion of associations or leagues, such as Judge Scott referred to. and would have the members to be spokesmen to carry the ideas of the people to the County Court for action. The Jackson County Good Roads Asso ciation waa formed today to encourage and assist in every way possible, by leg islation or otherwise, the building of good roads. About 150 names were subscribed, and it Is expected that 500 names will soon be signed as members of the Association. If enthusiasm is a criterion, then Med ford should have the banner for its good roads work. Among the good roads enthusiasts present from other sections were Judge Baldwin, of Klamath Falls, and Will G. Steele, of Portland. Crater Lake Road Assured. As previously planned, the Crater Lake Road Commission, recently appointed, met with representative citizens tonight, and there remains no doubt that Med ford and Jackson County will raise with out effort money sufficient to meet the appropriation needed. Of the commission there were present Colonel C. S. Jackson, Will G. Steel, Judge J. H. Scott, Benton Bowers, Judge Baldwin, Dr. J. F. Reddy, F. H. Hop kins, and Dr. Ray. who is representing his brother. Colonel Ray. When Judge Neil waa called upon to night he said: "I speak as the County Court and feel sure 1 shall have the support of my con stituents to a man and will say Jack son Countv will give $25,000 this year and $35,000 next year if you will raise In any manner you may find expedient an equal amount." Judge Nell spoke with such enthusiasm in the case that it brought a deafening applause. County Surveyor Applegate laid out on a map before the meeting the line of survey which seemed most feasible for the road. Dr. Reddy assured the meet ing of the ease with which the amount, aside from the county appropriation, could be raised a-nong the owners of automobiles, of which there are nearly 100 here, and among corporate owners of tim ber holdings, and If need be by the spe cial levy of a 10-mlll road tar allowed by law. The commission met here by Invitation of the Commercial Club, and if it meets with the same success at future meet ings a It has here the road to one of the world's wonders, through scenery not excelled elsewhere on the Continent, will soon be a reality.

Dunphy, recently won. In filing hla petition Mr. Dunphy made the startling charge that prior to her marriage with him the little woman had had three husbands, one after the other. He added that she had neglected to ob tain a divorce from her last mate, a Port land lawyer, Julius Silvestone. Dunphy' s supporting affidavit, filed yes terday, made it appear that six years ago Mrs. Dunphy boasted four successive mar riages, all before she had arrived at the age of 26 years. According to Mr. Dun phy, the quartet of husbands is alive, and one, the third. Is still legally the woman's spouse, despite the fact that ehe compli cated matters when she contracted the fourth and last union, her marriage with Dunphy. Julius Silvestone, the Portland lawyer mentioned in the above dispatch, con firmed the fact that he had been husband No. S in Mrs. Edith M. Dunphy's matri monial career, but said that their marital ties had been severed in due legal form. They were married at Stevenson, Wash., early in 1898, Mr. Silvestone said, and di vorced late the same year at Hillsboro, Or., the grounds being cruelty. Mrs. Dunphy's first husband, according to Mr. Silvestone, was a Mr. Sundcrhaus, to whom she was married in California, the couple having one son. Later she was maTried to a Mr. Coffey in San Francisco, and shortly after the divorce court ended their matrimonial career, in 1897, her wed ding to Mr. Silvestone occurred. Printer Attempts Suicide.

Marshall hurriedly assisted the man to the police station, one block dis tant, where Captain of Police Moore hur riedly summoned City Physician Zeigler. Antidotes were given the unfortunate victim and he was taken to the St. Vin cent's Hospital In the Red Cross ambu lance.
