Party in Indiana Embarrassed by Insistence of Prohibi tion Counties. LEADERS OPPOSE OPTION Insurgent Representative Kails to Obtain Indorsement in Shelby County, After Contest With "Progressive" Faction. IXDIANAPOLJS, March 27. (Special.) Complete reports from the Republican County Convention held yesterday to se lect delegates to the state convention, indicate that the Republicans of the dry counties will insist on the indorsement of the local option law by tho state con vention and thus make that question an i3U9 in the convention. In several counties which have voted dry within the last year the local option and anti-option forces made a test of strength and in every instance the local option men won. George Lockwood, editor of the Marlon Chronicle, and once private secretary 'of Vice-President Fairbanks, led the local option forces In Grant County and was himself elected as a delegate. He is pledged to offer a resolution at the state convention next week committing the party to sustain the law. In Shelby County the "progressives" captured the convention and refused to indorse Rep resentative Barnard of the Sixth district, who recently allied himself with the in surgents in the fight against Speaker Cannon, District Chairman Bassett tried to force through a resolution indorsing Barnard and instructing the delegates for him, but It was defeated and the delegates were left free to vote for some one else. The Republican leaders as a rule are opposed to a. local option Issue, but many of the conventions Instructed their dele gates to vote for a resolution indorsing the law, and the question will be a prom inent, and maybe an embarrassing one. In the convention. NOT THIEF; HOUSEWIFE East Side District Citizens Surround House Only to lie "Fooled." Seeing a light in an upstairs room of the home of Elwood Wiles, 554 East Salmon street, a municipal concrete con tractor, and believing all the members of the family to be out motoring, a crowd of neighbors men, women and children, armed surrounded the house to prevent the escape of a supposed burglar. None, however, could muster up cour age to go inside and the ponce were notified. Patrolman Small was dis patched to the house and, with the aid of skeleton keys, gained entrance to the dwelling. The hallway was dark, but the door o the room where the ligm snone was lightly ajar. Revolver in hand, the officer cried out: "Hands up! There was a fluttering of bedclothes, woman's muffled scream as she cov ered her head, and a copy of a maga- lne fell to the floor. It wnas Mrs. Wiles. She had been reading in bed and had not turned off the light. Prior to'the arrival of the patrolman, everal persons declared they had seen the "burglar" moving from room to room. 'DRY' KANSAS PROSPEROCS WAY OF CROSS DEDICATED Events of Passion Pictured in Moun tain Forest at Mount Angel. MOUNT ANGEL COLLEGE, Or., Marcn 27. (Special.) The stations of the cross through the forest up tho side or the mountain, to the abbey, which for 20 years have been the wonder and the ad miration of all Mount Angel visitors, were rededlcated on Friday by Prior Adelhelm, accompanied by the . monks. he- students and a large concourse, who chanted the prayer of the way of the crofs as they went along. The stations, 14 in number,,, heretofore have been placed In en almost direct line, but a new path In the shape of an "3" has been made through the grove on the mountain side, and it was for the pur pose of blessing the new way that the services were held. The grottoes con taining the stations have also been remodeled. The stations are fine sculptured works depicting the principal events of Christ's passion, and were secured 20 years ago. the gift of a wealthy California man. Governor Stubbs Avers Prohibition Does Xot Mean Ruin. CHICAGO, March 27. Governor Walter R- Stubbs. of Kansas, in a speech here oday, "put his foot on the necks" of those who maintain that absolute prohi bition would bring commercial ruin to a community. He cited the experience of Kansas City, fts showing how state-wide prohibition precluded "race suicide" and encouraged vavings banks accounts. "Prohibition in Kansas is not a result of atmospheric conditions," said Governor Stubbs. "The climate had nothing to do with it. Reason was at the bottom of It all. As a result the Kansas people today are better fed, better clothed, have finer homes, larger families and bigger bank accounts. "The cry of antl-prohlbltionists that wiping out the saloons would bring busi ness stagnation has been utterly refuted. I have proof by which, figuratively speak ing, I think I have my foot on the necks of those who circulate anti-prohibition talk. "It was said three years ago that the wiping out of Wichita's saloons would ruin the town. Today, with no saloons, that town has doubled Its population, more than doubled its bank accounts, has better people, less crime, more schools and more intelligence. I have just re ceived letters and telegrams from the mayors of 20 cities and towns, from 20 district Judges, and from chiefs of police, and they all agree that the day state wide prohibition went into effect in Kan sas was the brightest day in that state's history." Governor Stubbs offered -to escort a delegation of Chicago business men over Kansas to prove his contentions. Rlind Pianist Returning Home. Fred W. Richter, of this city, received cablegram yesterday from his son. Francis Richter, the blind pianist and composer, who has been studying in Europe for two years, announcing that he will arrive in New York April 30 on the steamer President Grant. He is now In Paris. Francis Richter has advanced wonderfully In his art since his residence abroad, and has been praised by critics wherever he has appeared in concerts. Several Portland people contributed to his expenses while pursuing his studies in Europe. He will be heard In recital soon after returning to Portland. LAYMEN'S FEAST ATTRACTS Reservations for Banquet Close, De mand Exceeds 1000 Tickets. With the prospects that Portland to morrow night will see the most widely attended banquet In its history, the reser vation list for tickets to the Laymen's Missionary movement dinner closed late yesterday. It is believed that not only will the 1000 tickets be sold, but the call for more, which cannot be met, will be heard today. It will be impossible to accommodate more than 1000 persons at the store of the Meier & Frank Company, where the dinner is to be held, so the committee has been compelled to stop the sal of tickets with this figure. The convention will open Wednesday morning at the White Temple, the doors being open at 9 o'clock, delegates and those who have secured registration tick ets, for the nominal fee of Jl, gaining entrance at that time. The committee wishes to urge upon those desirous of attending the confer ence the fact that the expenses will reach the total of $1500 or more, and as no collections are to be taken at the sessions of the movement, it is necessary to charge an admission fee of Jl to meet all costs. Bishop J. E. Robinson arrived last night from Los Angeles to participate in the convention. MICHAEL ANGELO LAUDED Dr. Davidson Buchanan Presents Life History of Great Sculptor. Dr. Davidson Buchanan, in a lecture last night before the Portland Fellow ship Circle, in the Selling-Hirsch Hall, on the subject. Michael Angelo, or the Cli max in Art and Architecture," presented the life historv of the great sculptor, painter and architect and told of his in fluence on the wono. Dwelling on the three great achieve ments of Angelo's life. Dr. Buchanan said: "Michael Angelo's first great work m-as his creation of the statue of Moses. There never was a creation of marble so near like a living thing. "The artist's great achievement in painting was the painting- of the Slstine Chapel at Rome. For 20 months he lay on his back and painted 343 figures. The subject was gigantic and the work has been the wonder of the ages. "The climax of the artist's achieve ments was commenced when he was 72 years of age and completed when he had reached his S9th year. This was the cre ation of the greatest piece of architecture in all Europe St. Peter's Cathedral. This great structure covers five acres and con tains a seating capacity of 6000.

The City Council of North Bend has conferred with the taxpayers to discuss the Eddy bonding act and the improvement of the streets contemplated for that city. Practically all of the street work planned for North -Bend thto Sum mer depends upon adopting the Eddy bonding act. and voters having approved of it, the City Council will go ahead with the work. way to the Roman Catholic churches, where three masses were celebrated in the forenoon, closing with high mass at 11 o'clock. t Worshipers Throng Churches. All the churches of the city were filled to their full capacity in the day and night services, even standing room being taken. An estimate of the at tendance at the various churches . of the city, gained from figures furnished by parishioners and others, places the number of worshipers between 35,000 and 40,000. - In all the churches the spirit of Easter was the predominating theme. From nearly every pulpit in the city the resurrection of Christ, as told In the New Testament, was heard. In the Roman Catholic and Episcopal churches the ritualistic observance of the day added solemnity and distinctiveness to the services. The beauty of the day, with the light filtering terough the color stained glass windows, bringing Into relief the lines of symbolical figures, accentuated the general feeling of rev erence. In scores of missions, gospel halls and in street services the same rev erence prevailed. In Lownsdale Square, by reason of Its proximity to the busi ness district of the city, hundreds of workingmen and others congregated. On one corner a street preacher, stand ing in a wagon, drawn by a span of lean horses, told the story. On another corner a band of Salvation Army work ers conducted a meeting- and close by a Socialist orator, with an applauding crowd about him, took the Easter pa rade of fashion as the subject of a denunciatory speech on things in gen eral. There were those who did not ob serve the religious significance of the day and they were largely in the ma jority. On almost every available va cant lot crowds of small boys, playing baseball, could be seen. Fashion Parade Early. - Easter, as It is observed by the de cree of commerce and Mme. La Mode, was the feature of the day most in evi dence. The parade of - fashion com menced long before the time for the 11 o'clocK church services, and was partici pated in largely by those who had no thought of attending church. Up and down Washington and Morri son streets and intersecting streets the gay throngs moved. Tt was a brilliant concourse a pageant well worth seeing. ; Handsome turnouts, with spanking dec orated horses, and automobiles of every description were much in- evidence. It may be said of the. Spring fash ions, appearing yesterday In profu sion for the first time, that they are simpler than last Spring. The Russian Cossack Bcheme is still the reigning de sign. The same is true of the hats, though they are more elaborate than the Winter headgear. This is to be another year of pumps. Some there were yesterday, however, who appear to be qualified for membership In the "insurgent" rank. They wore plain oxfords. The blistering, yet bewitching, pumps have sustained another blow from near-insurgents, who demand at least the ankle-strap, though not strictly a la mode. Store Windows- Attract. An object of general attention down town yesterday was the shop windows. Skilful drapers worked Saturday night and yesterday morning, and the win dows in the numerous clothing stores, both for men and women, were hand somely decorated. Hundreds passed the afternoon walking the streets, admiring the displays of feminine finery. In the clothes for men simplicity 1b the watch word. The novelties of the last few years, the ginger-bread cuts and frills, rows of buttons and the like, are no more. Few men were seen yesterday with Spring suits. Wherever one was seen he was an object of curiosity, espe cially if the suit was light-colored. One pedestrian, wearing a straw hat, was observed early, but he is thought to have gone home and changed for his best Sunday Winter clothes. Many residents yesterday, owing to the fair weather, visited the parks, took long- car rides and some went out of town on tie interurban cars to spend the day. Scores of motorists made long trips out country roads. A motorist said that more automobiles were seen on the roads in the vicinity of Portland than since early last Fall. The roads were reported in excellent condition. ARCHBISHOP IS CELEBRANT Pontifical Mass Sung at Cathedral. Other Services Imposing. In each of the Catholic churches of this city four masses were said yesterday, be ginning with the low mass at 6 o'clock in the morning. The most elaborate service was at the Cathedral at 11 o'clock, when Archbishop Christie sang the pontifical high mass. Rev. George Marr, of Colum bia University, and Rev. E. V. O'Hara acting as assistant priests. Rev. Francis Van Clarenbeck was deacon of honor; Rev. A. G. Delorimier, deacon of the mass; Rev. Walter O'Donell, of Columbia University, subdeacon; Rev. Hugh Mc Devitt, master or ceremonies, and Rev. Francis Black, second master of ceremo nies. A large number of choir boys as sisted, being under the direction of Broth er Linus, of the Christian Brothers Busi ness College. The musical programme in connection with the mass was rendered by the full choir, under the direction of Frederick W. Goodrich, organist and choirmaster, without the accompaniment of the organ. Miss Irene Flynn, Mrs. George Parrlsh, Miss Rose Friedle, Frank Barrett, R. A. Ceams and S. A. McCartney sang the solo parts. Particularly pleasing was the singing of the "Gloria" and "Credo" of Monasters grand mass, and "Haec Dies," composed by Father Dominic, of Mount Angel Abbey. Lilies and palms were banked in pro fusion about the pulpit. Rev. Father Mc Devitt preached on the resurrection. At St. Lawrence Catholic Church Rev. J. C. Hughes, assisted by Rev. H. S. Gal lagher and Rev. J. M. O'Neill, sang the The Gold Dust Twins are not happy unless busy. They want more work your work. "Why not give them a trial? Gold Dust is a necessity in every well-regulated home it's a time saver and labor-saver. The economy of Gold Dust is its efficiency. A little of the powder does so much goes so far. Other powders and cleansers may look the same, may be advertised to do the same, but there's a big difference in actual results. Gold Dust stands alone among washing powders, and nothing can successfully take its place. Do not use Soap, Naphtha, Borax, Soda, Ammonia or -nMJ1 Kerosene with Gold Dust. Gold Dust has all desirable fl cleansing qualities in a perfectly harmless and lasting -v form. The Gold Dust Twins need no outside help. Made by THE N.'K.
