Salaried Organizer for

MAY REDUCE DISTRICTS
Resolution Promises Spirited De

. 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

He taVes the place of Bernard Daly,

sible to accept the nomination at the

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

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.

reopen the divorce case which his wife,
Edith L. 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.
Penniless and discouraged, John Ray
mour, 22 years of age, a printer by trade,
attempted to commit suicide last niht
after 11 o'clock by taking a quantity of
acetic acid in the hallway of the Union
block, at 227 Stark street. He staggered
against the door of the Portland Lino
typing Company, on the second floor, and
W. A. Marshall, the night operator there,
seized, him as he fell in a faint to the
floor. 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
