Sentiment In the Oregon conference of
the Methodist Episcopal Church la
Mronirlv opposed to the plan of re
duclng the number of district from
four to two. This was clearly appar
ent this morning when the conference
took up the discussion of the resolu
tion 'ntroduced yenterday recommend
ing the reduction. The question
very freely discussed and both the
addresses and the applause so clearly
demonstrated the attitude of the mem
bers of the conference that the frlendd
of the. movement sought to delay ac
tlon.
Re'-.. T. B. Ford, one of the most
active advocates of reduction of the
number of districts, offered a substi
tute resolution directing that the
question be submitted to a Joint com
mittee of ministers and laymen, with
instructions to investigate and report
at the next annual conference. But
opponents of the reduction plan were
determined to have the question set
tled now and amended the Ford reso
lution by providing for a Joint com
mittee to report tomorrow.
Leave Question to Hughes.
The minister appointed on this com
mittee are Rev. Benjamin Young, of
Portland; Rev. J. K. Hawkins, of
Roseburg: Rev. W. S. Gordon, of Eu
gene, and Rev. W. H. Solleek. of
galem. The laymen appointed are R.
A. Booth, of Eugene; B. L.ee Paget, of
Portland: A. O. lloifman. of Forest
Grove, and E. S. Elmore, of Roseburg.
Tiie conference was In session tonight
with Bishop Hughes in attendance, and
after discussing the whole situation de
cided to refer the matter to Bishop
Hughes without recommendation.
Bishop Hughes took occasion, this
morning, to remind members of the con
ference that he is vested with authority
to act In the matter as he may deem best,
regardless of their recommendations,
and he declared his intention to do so,
though he said he would give due Con
sideration to reasons that had been
offered for and against the proposed
change.
Subject Day's Chief Topic.
Discussion of the subject occupied
the attention of the conference during
the whole forenoon. Briefly stated,
the reduction in the number of district
superintendents is urged upon the
ground that If only two were em
ployed higher salaries could be paid,
abler men secured and better service
obtained. Objection to the plan is
based upon the assertion that two men
cannot cover the territory satisfac
torily, and that the rapidly Increasing
population of the state makes the
work more extensive.
In the afternoon, at a Joint session of
the ministers and the laymeiv Bishop
Hughes took occasion to voice the opinion
he has heretofore expressed, that no man
who engages in preaching should engage
In any other occupation.
Bishop Gives Shnrp Talk.
' Take with you neither purse nor
scrip" was the Instruction given by the
Master to his disciples." said Bishop
Hughes, "and if he were here today I
believe he would say to the ministers of
the gospel, take with you no mining stock,
no insurance agencies, no real estate
agencies, no business relations that will
occupy your time and attention."
The bishop was especially strong in de
nunciation of pastors who engage in sell
ing mining stock and declared that "a
number of ministers who engaged in such
enterprises left in their congregations un
favorable impressions of the ministry
which it will take years and years and
years to remove."
These remarks were called forth by ad
dresses that had been delivered by B.
Lee Paget. A. F. Flegel and R. A. Booth
of the laymen's association, who had
spoken of the work of ministers and Indi
cated their opinion that the minister
should stick to his pulpit. Bishop Hughes
plainly declared that no minister will re
ceive much consideration from him if he
asks to be given a specified appointment
in order that he may he close to his farm
or business interests.
Booth Receives Ovation.
A very touching Incident occurred when
Bishop Hughes Introduced R. A. Booth.
As the former defendant In the land-fraud
trials advanced to the front of the ros
trum, the whole audience arose and
waved handkerchiefs and hats and hands
by way of greeting and expressloi of
kindly feeling. When the crowd wag
seated again Mr. Booth attempted to
speak, but was overcome by the demon
stration he had Just witnessed and broke
down and sobbed.
A preacher started the song. "Blest Be
the Tie That Binds." and the whole audi
ence Joined in singing. When this had
been completed. Mr. Booth was able to
pro-ed. though with difficulty. He made
no reference to his indictment, trial and
acquittal which had occasioned the ex
pression of sympathy. He spoke particu
larly in behalf of Willamette lni-ere!ty.
saying that to this Institution, Methodism
in the Northwest must look for most of
its ministers and missionaries, and the
people of the church must see that the
Institution is properly maintained. In his
opinion, the church must undertake to
raire an endowment fund of V'MOOp).
Work of Ij)iiien Praised.
In closing the Joint session of minis
ters and laymen. Bishop Hughes spoke
highly of the work of the Laymen's
Association, and recalled the important
positions to which God had called lay
men. Abraham. Moses, David and
Ianlel were laymen and not priests,
he declared, and when Christ chose the
men whom he sent out to preach the
gospel he chose laymen and not
priests.
The Laymen's Association held Its
annual meeting this afternoon and
elected the following officers, for the
ensuing year: President. R- A. Booth,
of Eugene; corresponding secretary. T.
S. McDanlel, Portland; recording secre

TORRENS ACT IS UPHELD
indicted for perjury by the grand Jury
today, it being the first and only indict
ment returned so far as the result of the
investigation of the alleged violations of
the prohibition law. It is believed, how
ever, that the examination of the long list
of witnesses is about over, and that the
grand Jury will make its final report to
morrow afternoon. That this report will
also include a large number of indict
ments is also confidently expected.
The finding of a true bill against
Fletcher is the result of his refusal to tell
where he secured liquor which he is ai
leged to have given to others. At least
two witnesses testified he provided them
with liquor with which thy became in
toxicated. Despite this fact he swore he
had not given them liquor and had not
had any in his possession. His indict
ment for "perjury followed.
Dan McKenzic, a sheepherder, was also
indicted on a statutory charge. AIcKen
zie is alleged to have assaulted the wife
of his employer and was driven off by tho
woman, who armed herself with a butcher
knife.

Test Case- of Title Registration in
State of Washington.
SEATTLE, Sept. 25. (Special.)
The constitutionality of the Torrens
law passed by the last Legislature was
upheld by Judge George E. Morris in
the Superior Court today In deciding a
suit brought to compel the county
clerk to file an application to register
title under the law. The clerk, when
the application was made, refused to
accept It on the ground that the law
was defective. Both the title to the
act and the act Itself were attacked in
a demurrer this morning.
Judge Morris overruled the demurrer
and held the law to be valid. The
suit was a friendly one brought to test
the law, and notice of an appeal was

Tacoma Health Officers MiTfed at
Opposition to Vaccination.
TACOMA, Wash., Sept. 25. (Special.)
It ls possible that all efforts to control
smallpox will be abandoned. Health an
thorities threaten such action may be
taken if the opposition to vaccination as
sumes serious proportions.
"If the opposition to and violation of.
the vaccination law continues, then it is
altogether possible that the health officers
of the state will recommend the abolislT
nient of the quarantine laws," said Dr.
Sargentich today in discussing the recent
convention of health officers held in
Tacoma.
"We only discussed t in a genera!
way," said Dr. Sargentich, "and we took
no action. It came up In the discussion
of the number of cases of smallpox that
come out of Minnesota. There is no quar
antine there, and no compulsory vaccina
tion. As a result there is more smallpox
In Minnesota than in any other state.
Then we -discussed the causes that
brought about the Minnesota apathy, and
we agreed that the state was Justified.
"Quarantining costs the state a lot of
money, and if it is made necessary by
the etubbornpess of some people why
then, those people should be allowed to
suffer and come to their senses."

Judge W. A. Frater, In the Superior
Court, today found Charles H. Hardy

his wife and child. Since the act was

have been filed in King County, in
which the chief allegation was deser
tion, but this is the first case to be
tried under the act.

What's
the Use of
. N Eating,
Anyway ?
"hat's the use of eating if the
food fails to nourish? The
ordinary raw oatmeal that is sold
as "rolled oats" not only fails to
nourish, but irritates the stomach
and bowels. It's as different from
H-O as sawdust is different from
rice pudding.
H-O is steam-cooked under high temperature for
three hours by a patent process. You get the
"meat" of selected oats, without hulls or dirt, ready
for the table after ten or fifteen minutes' boiling.
Full of nutriment and easily digested. Ask your
grocer for H-O.
