THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, JUNE 24," 1913.
MANY OF EASTERN
SECRETARIES HERE
Final Arrangements Being
Made for Opening of
World's Conference.
INTEREST IS NATION WIDE
Pulpits of City to Be Given Over to
Movement on Sundays and
Prominent Clergymen Will
Occupy Them.
Many of the secretaries from the dif
ferent Eastern state organizations In
volved in the complex organization of
the "World's Christian Citizenship Con
ference, which will begin its sessions
in Portland Sunday, June 29, have ar
rived In Portland in the last few days
and are assisting now in the final
preparations for the opening of the
session.
Clement H. Congdon, of Pittsburg;,
who has been in charge of the pub
licity and general organization work
from the central Pittsburg offices, ar
rived in Portland yesterday and took
charge of the headquarters here. Mr.
Congdon came by way of California
and all along his route has made care
ful inquiry to ascertain the interest in
the coming conference and the proba
ble size of the delegations that may be
sent.
"I believe that the interest in the
conference is greater than it has been
in any other convention that has been
held on the Pacific Coast," he said yes
terday. "In Los Angeles I found more
Interest In the World's Christian Citi
zenship Conference which Is to be held
in Portland than in the Christian En
deavor, which is to be held in Los An
geles next week.
Interest Is Undenominational.
"The interest in the conference
among the people of the East is strong
est in the religious organizations which
are the least markedly denominational
and which are the more deeply inter
ested in the broad problems of civic
and moral betterment of the world. In
the organizations where denomination
al ism is strongest I have found them
more deeply interested in their own
local affairs than in the coming con
ference. This means that the delega
tions that will come from all of the
Eastern states will represent the ele
ment of religious organizations which
is most strongly inclined toward a
wiping out of denominational lines and
uniting of the energies of all upon the
broad questions of bettering the con
ditions of the races of the world."
Mr. Congdon will, communicate as
soon as possible with C. C. Chapman,
R. W. Raymond and George F. John
son and others who have been most
active on the committee of 100 and Its
sub-committees and will meet with the
local executive committee of the con
ference shortly thereafter to consider
the final details of preparation for the
opening of the conference.
"Divorce" Among His Works.
Dr. Edwin Heyl Delk, of Philadel
phia, president of the Inter-church
Federation of Pennsylvania, Is expected
to arrive in Portland today. Dr. Delk
is to speak at the conference on the
subject of "Divorce." His writings upon
this subject and upon other questions
of modern Interest have created much
interest in the United States within
the past few years. Prominent among
his works is one dealing with "Modern
Paganism,'" in which he discusses evi
dences of decadence in the civilized
races of today and attributes It to a
spirit of paganism analogous to that
which existed in ancient times. Dr.
Delk was one of the Pennsylvania men
who was most active in the movement
which resulted in the overthrow of the
Quay political machine in that Btate
some years ago.
Among those who are already in the
city, having arrived and taken up the
local work of preparation within the
past few days, are Rev. J. Boggs
Dodds, of Sterling. Kan., state secre
tary of the organization in Kansas:
Rev. Grant W. Sower, of Belief ontaine,
state secretary for Ohio; Rev. W. J.
Wilson, of Hillsdale. Mich. ; Rev. George
H. L. Beeman, of Greencastle. Ind.;
Rev. Findley M. Wilson, of Philadel
phia, pastor of the Third Church of the
Covenanters, and Dr. Theophile Mann,
of Germany.
Others are expected to arrive daily
during the present week and on Sun
day morning every pulpit in the city Is
to be supplied from the list of promi
nent ministers and leaders in civic and
social work, who will be in the city to
attend the conference. The opening
of the conference itself will be in the
Multnomah Stadium, Sunday utter
noon.'
A final rally in preparation for the
opening will bo held at the White
Temple Friday night. Tonight the
choir, which is to consist of about 1000
voices from the choirs of the city, will
have a rehearsal. Meetings of the va
rious sub-committees and of the ex
ecutive committee of the conference are
to be held daily from this time until
tne opening or the conferenc.

Blehl was Convicted in the local Fed

given 120 days to prepare a motion for
appeal, and in the meantime was re

Man Wrote He Never Would: Serve

Exoneration on Bond Charge.
A. J. Biehl, convicted in the orchards
land frauds, will be taken to Mc
Neil's Island today by Deputy United
States Marshal Fuller. He received his
sentenoe of two years yesterday from
Federal Judge Wolverton,- his at
torney offering no protest, but pleading
that Blehl be exonerated of the charge
that he had attempted to jump his bond
of J10.000 by going to British Colum
bia. Wilson T. Hume, attorney for Blehl,
said that Biehl had been misrepre
sented, that he had had no intention
of trying to escape, and that he had
gone to Vancouver, B. C, to find work,
with the Intention of returning to
Portland any time he was wanted.
United States District Attorney
Reames, finding that Biehl would make
no tight against commitment, did not
charge, he was prepared to do, that
Biehl had attempted to escape, and
would have forfeited his bond but for
the pressure which was brought to
Dear on mm by the local Federal au
thorities. Letters are in the possession
of Mr. Reames in which Biehl declared
that he would never serve his sentence,
and the District Attorney's office has
other evidence which shows that Blehl
would have refused to return to Port
land had there been a possible chance
for him to escape.
"While it is true that Blehl came
across the border of his own volition

office after the case had been disposed
of, "it was under threat of deporta

CHARITIES OFFICIAL HERE
Dr. OoAven, of Seattle, Talks of Im
portance of Coming Conference.
Dr. H. H. Gowen, of Seattle, who vis
ited Portland yesterday, believes that
the 40th National conference of Chari
ties and Correction, which is to be held
in Seattle. July 5-12, is destined to be
one of the most important in the his
tory of the organization, because of the
peculiarly new problems which will be
up for chief consideration.
"In this conference we have the ad
vantage of position in the West, be
cause the problems which we are to
consider for organization of charities
and corrections on the Pacific Coast are
not problems of the present, but of the
future," he said, "and we will be en
abled to avoid many of the pitfalls en
countered by organizations In the older
districts of the East,"

Can You Guess
What This Means?
Forty-five per cent of the people of the United States now live in
and around some kind of a city.
Can you guess what this means now?
It means that all city property of every kind is increasing in value.
It means that all the property on the street down which you are walk
ing today will be worth more money tomorrow.
Except as a source of food supply, property has no other value
than that which the people make.
The more people the higher the price. That is all.
If you want to know whether to buy property in Portland, look at
the census report. If population has increased property will increase.
It can't help it- That's the law. These bisr, busy buildings are not so
valuable because they cost so much, but simply because so many hun
dreds or thousands of people happen to pass their doors. Put the
Singer building in the heart of the Sahara Desert and the man who
bought it for $10 would be robbed.
Now put this law of property to work for yourself. Population in
Portland is increasing every year. Therefore property values must
increase.
Turn to these real estate want ads. Pead the offers that are being
made each day. Answer them. Make an investment which must con
tinue to increase in value as long as babies are born. For this is the
kind of investment that is worth your while.
And mention The Oregonian, please, every time you answer an ad.
For this will make onr want ad columns more valuable to alL
