of India and now general secretary of
foreign missions of the church.

A world-wide movement for evan
arelizaion was outlined by Bishop Theo
dore B. Henderson, of Chattanooga,
Tenn., and definite plans were expected
co be made during the conference be
fore the adjournment next Monday. It
was proposed that the church shall In
augurate a campaign to Increase the
membership of the church 500,000 in
1916. The increase in two years has
been 322,000.
The European war and its probable
results, China and the open door policy,
and the evangelization of India are
some of the more important problems
to be brought before the conference.
It was learned tonight that a letter
has been received from Portland urg
ing that some bishop other than Dr.
Cooke be selected to preside over the
annual conference, next Fall, on the
ground that a sharp division has arisen
over the question of consolidating two
churches and that the matter should be
passed on by one against whom no sus
picion of prejudiced Judgment could
rest.
Action Net Vet Taken.
No action has been taken. It will be
taken up in Tegular course when the
conference comes to the assignment of
bishops tomorrow or Friday.
Bishon Cooke, who was honored yes
terday at the copference of bishops in
iJes Moines, was elected a bishop in
May, 1912. and shortly afterward, at
the conference in Minneapolis, was ap
pointed to take charge of this Western
field, including the conferences or ure
son. Fuget Sound, Columbia River, the
German Methodists and the Danish
conference. Prior to his election he
was the book editor of the Methodist
Church, ' with headquarters in New
York. He is a writer and deep stu
dent, of theology. Different bishops
are chosen to preside at each session
of the conference. , ,
CHILDREN MAY RAISE PEXSIOXS
Flan Offered Methodists for Car
ing lor Dependents.
CHICAGO, April 28. The 4,395,000 J
children or the jvietnoaist unurcn can
be made a source of contributions for
the campaign to Taise $10,000,000 for
retired ministers, and their widows and
orphans, the Rev. Frederick T. Iveeney,
of Syracuse, N. Y., told the convention
of conference claimants here today.
R. T. Ivey, of Nashville, Tenn., editor
of the Christian Advocate of the Meth
edist Church. South, said that the gen
eral situation confronting the church
Is that there are now, thousands of
preachers, widows of preaohers or their
orphans who were supported by thi
church, but when their strength wore
out in the cause the support was with
drawn. Care of the church's depen
dents has been left too much to senti
ment, he said, and systematic effort
such cs is now being made is neces
ary. Among the other speakers were Rev.
George F. Hopkins, of the Oregon Conference.
GENERAL MURRAY TO STAY
Officer at Age of Retirement Or
dered to Continue in Service.
SAN FRANCISCO. April 28. Although
Ma jor-General Arthur Murray, com
manding the Western division of the
United States Army, reached the age of
retirement today, he being 64 years
old, he will remain in active service
until December 4. The extension of his
period of active service is a birthday
present that he received today from
President Wilson, one of which no other
living Army officer can boast.
General Murray's retention is a
result of the friendship shown by him
toward 8an Francisco and the Panama
Pacific Exposition which resulted in a
concerted movement several months
ago to have Consress pass an act
exempting him until the close of the
exposition from the provisions of the
law requiring an Army ofTicer to go
on the retired list on reaching the age
of 64.
The continuation of General Murray
s department commander will not
hinder promotions, as he becomes an
additional officer on the list of Major-Generals.

Secretary Bryan Says, However.
That Objections to Efforts to
Buy Material With Discred
ited Money Are Just.
WASHINGTON, April 28. The 'Inter,
national Harvester Company today
formally denied to Secretary Bryan
that it had sought advantages over
competitors in Yucatan in the purchase
of sisal grass and disclaimed knowl
edge of charges made by the Carranza
government that one of its agents had
used the name of the State Department
to further its interests.
On request of Luis Cabrera, Gen
eral Carranza's secretary of the Treas
ury, the complaint was lodged with
the State Department against . the
methods said to have been employed
by Avelino Alontes. an agent in Yuca
tan of the Harvester Company.
The complaint charged that Monte
used the name: of the State Department
to force conditions in negotiations be
tween . producers and consumers of
sisal and had, attempted to pay for
the fibre in unrecognized money issued
by insurgents. r
Denial Sent to Carranu Agent.
George H. Ranney, representative of
the company, came to Washington from
Chicago today and conferred with Sec
retary Bryan. Iater Mr. Bryan sent
a note to Charles A. Douglas, counsellor
for the Carranza agency, in which he
said:
"You are authorized to have the fol
lowing communication aent to General
Carranza:
" 'Heplying to complaint contained in
the note of Cabrera to Arredondo, the
International Harvester Company de
nies that it has authorized or approves
the employment of any unfair means
against either competitors or purchas
ers. All that it asks is freedom to buy
in the market and export in competi
tion with other purchasers.' I
"You may also say that this Govern
ment shows no partiality as between
Americans and is not willing to be put
in the attitude of having favorites
among those who deal in sisal. We as
sume, of course, that the producers and
dealer9 In Yucatan will not take ad
vantage of the delays that have oc
curred to raise unreasonably the price
of eisal to the injury of our American
farmers.
Carranu'l Efforts Appreciated.
"You may add that this Government
appreciates the consideration that Gen
eral Carranza and ms otrioiais in xuca
tan are giving to the needs of the farm
ers who secure their supply of binding
twine through the American manufac
turers who are using eisal."
Mr. Ranney told Secretary Bryan
that Montes was now on his way to
the United States and would go to Chi
cago to report on the sisal situation.
Discussing the Carranza complaint.
Secretary Bryan said he thought ob
jections to enorts to purcnase sisai
with money not recognized by toe t.ar-
ranza government were well founded.

BY EDITH a LANION,
Portland, Or., n-ho ts to enter Red Cros
woman service.
LONDON. April 14. (Special Corre
spondence.) After successfully elud
ing three submarines we finally got to
Liverpool. It adds zest to a voyage,
I find, to look out for periscopes in
stead of the monotonous iceberg, whale
or porpoise. It was suggested as a
new deck game that if we saw a peri
scope we might play quoits by throw
ing the rings around that instead of
around the usual peg.
Red tape is much to the front on
landing in Liverpool. I answered many
questions as to my past, present and
future ana was graciously let inrougn
as perfectly safe. It took time, though.
and my friends were waiting about
six hour on the flock.
The beautiful khaki tinge of England
appeals to me. The whole oountry is
alive with soldiers such cheerful, hap
py soldiers, all keen to get to the front.
I spend most of my time looking at
them as they march by, instead of
writing to my friends. With it all.
England is serene. I am not serene, but
wildly enthusiastic. I would like to
shake every "Tommy" by the hand and
wish him "God epeed."
Jt doesn't seem possible that there
could be so much khaki in the world;
it even eclipses the - Springtime and
makes Spring seem Autumn all over
again. It seems to bring the sunburnt
prairie into town.
It is not so easy to be a nurse as
on would suppose. This amateur nurse
is still an amateur, with hopes of some
thing better, however. The hospital by
no means "jumped at me." Instead it
solemnly sent me a long list of ex
tremely personal questions. After X an
swered these I was told to get re
vaccinated, produce a certificate from
my dentist and doctor and my birth
certificate. Now I am to be admitted to
a personal interview in a week and if
I am approved I may be allowed to
take the three months' special course,
go many loyal subjects 'are willing and
anxious to serve that the hospital can
pick and choose. Here's hoping it will
pick and choose me.

also said an investigation showed that

FIRST MAP OFCITY IS ISSUE
Washington County Judge Holds

Whether the first, map of Portland
Is of more advantage as a municipal
record than as a relic for the County
Judge of Washington County, is a
question that may take considerable
trouble to decide. City Attorney La
Roche wrote a few days ago to Edward
Luce, Clerk of Washington County, ask
ing him to send to Portland an old
map of Portland which has been found
in the court records at liillsboro. Mr.
La Hoc h says the map is an impor
tant document for Portland's files..
Yesterday Mr. LaRoche received a
letter from Clerk Luce in which he
says: "The County Judge has the map
framed in his office. I don't believe J.
P. Morgan himself could get it away
from the Judge, as he seems to be
strong on relics."

every father should see his son sees "The
