lege, Says Professor.
TALKS MADE AT SESSION
"AVliat Next?-' Topic of Another Ad
dress at Willamette Association
Meeting Rally Tonight
Ends Gathering.
In the coursa of his address on
'Christian Education" yesterday fore
noon, brfore the Willamette Baptist
Association, in session. In the MuntavlUe
Baptist Church. Professor Van Osdell. of,
MrMinnvllle College, pave, the high
schools a grilling, remarking that much
of tile habits formed there must be
combatted at the Christian college, and
further, that the demands of the high
Rchools upon the state institutions were
such that they dictated to the insti
tutions in special lines. The state in-'
rtitutions, ho said, had been required
to Introduce preparatory studies, so
that the "tail really wagged the dog."
Professor Van Osdell outlined some of
the advantages of the Christian col
leges in that the atmosphere, morally.
Is better, and that the tendency at
McMlnnvtlle is not toward specializa
tion as much as toward unification;
development of the head and heart, to
gether, and elimination of high school
practices in manner and In dress. He
pointed out that students come with a
fixed purpose to enter some profession,
but that this purpose gives way as the
student advances and he finds he does
not want to enter the profession he had
selected. The high . standard of schol
arship and morality maintained at Mc
Minnville was pointed out as one of
the features of that pioneer institu
tion, and one of the distinguished char
acteristics of the Christian college.
"What Nextf" Is Subject.
"What Next'" was the subject of the
address by It. P. Hutton, of the Anti
Saloon League, and ho declared that
while the victory for prohibition last
year had been a great one, reaping of
the fruits of that victory remained.
"Law enforcement. National prohi
bition and church co-operation." he
said, "are the next step, if Oregon is
to reap the fruits of its great victory."
He pointed out that the work is not
finished, but Just begun, and asserted
that it would be necessary to elect men
as Sheriffs. Prosecuting Attorneys and
Congressmen from Oregon who are in
complete harmony with the enforce
ment of the prohibition laws, and pub
lic sentiment must get behind them.
"Xew Tear's eve," said Mr. Hutton,
"the saloons will go out of business In
Oregon, and more than 100.000 men who
have made them their rendezvous will
find them closed. What will the
churches do. Will the churches open
their doors and keep them open and
tart a great revival at that time?
"Alcoholic Candy Made."
Rev. W. J. Beaver said that candy
bearing 2 per cent alcohol had already
been manufactured for distribution,
and Superintendent Hutton said that
was a violation of the Anderson law
passed by the last Legislature.
Rev. W. T. S. Sprlggs and Rev. W. J.
Boaverton were appointed to unify the
statistical year of the churches of the
association, so that there will be less
confusion. A report of the work of
the two Portland Italian missions was
read. :
A detailed report was received from
the Oregon City First Baptist Church,
showing a membership of 620. It was
announced that a new Baptist church
was being organized at Gladstone
Park, and that J700 had been sub
scribed toward a building fund.
The missionary societies occupied
yesterday afternoon. Rev. W. C. Driver
spoke for the publication society. Rev.
W. C. Wooddy for home missions. Rev.
Thomas Moody for foreign missions, and
Rev. E. A. Smith for the "Missionary
Work of the Willamette Baptist Asso
ciation." - Secretary O. C. Wright and Rev. W.
T S. Sprlggs were the speakers last
night. The gathering will close with
n denominational rally tonight at the
White Temple, celebrating the 60th
anniversary of the First Church.
spoke on the present social conditions
and their cause. In connection with the
Bahai movement. The speakers re
peatedly emphasized the point that Ba
hainism was not a fad, cult nor a re
ligion, but a live and active movement
"to Inculcate and establish in the so
cial organism a heart-felt brother love,
to do justice to the poor and to abolish
discord and prejudice."
"The only way we know God Is
through his prophets, and every
prophet has left some good to the
world. The Kast has always been a
dawning hope and the West now is the
dream being fulfilled," said Dr. Ran
dall. Mrs. Hannan closed the meeting with
a Pernian chant. The party will leave
Portland tomorrow and will address
meetings in Seattle, various Canadian

'SPITE FENCEMjELD LEGAL
Ordinance Declared 'Unconstitution
al on Appeal of Fine.
The Portland "spite fence" ordinance
is unconstitutional, according to a de
cision by Circuit Judge Morrow yester
day. The city cannot restrict by ordi
nance the height of fences built on pri
vate property, as long as they do not
run on an adjoining property line.
The decision was rendered in the case
of Portland against . E. J. Grabs.
Charged under the "spite fence ordi
nance" with building a fence more than
five feet high on his property. Grabs
was fined $25 in Municipal Court. He
appealed to Circuit Court, on grounds
that the ordinance was unconstitutional.
PAVING NEAR SPANS ISSUE
Amendment Considered to Lift Re
monstrance Power.
Strong opposition said to exist
among residents of Broadway on " the
Kust Side to the proposed change of
grade and the proposed paving of that
street between the east approach to
the Broadway bridge and Union avenue
may result in the submission to the
voters in June of a proposed charter
amendment taking the power of re
monstrance against proposed Improve
ments, from property owners on streets
leading to bridge approaches. The
submission of such a charter amend
ment was discussed at yesterday's
meeting of the Council.
Ever since the completion of the
Broadway bridge. ' the city has been
trying to have Broadway paved, but
bo far the attempts have been of no
avail. Bach time that paving has been
proposed, the proposal has been re
monstrated out. Some time ago pro
ceedings were started for the lowering
of the grade and the paving of the
street. While the proceedings have not
been remonstrated out as yet. it is
understood that the property owners
propose such' action.
DENTIST UNDER ARREST
Shaving of Gold Coins to Obtain
Metal Is Suspected.
Dr. Norton North, dentist, 48 years
old. is under arrest on suspicion of
having gold coins to procure gold used
in his practice. Police Captain Circle
Lieutenant Harms and Patrolman
Martin made the arrest late Tuesday
night at Fifth and Washington streets.
He is held without bail pending an in
vestigation by Government officials.
According to the police, two shaved
coins were found In the dentist's
pockets, and others were recovered
after he had passed them. The milled
edges of the coins were almost smooth
and some of the sharp die marks had
been rubbed down.

GIRL SMILES AT FATE
Helen Carruthers, Film Actor,
Regrets Suicide Attempt.
LASS BROODS ON FAILURE
Reception of Vaudeville Sketch Dis
heartens an'd Ionesonicncss
Prompts Effort to End Life.
Verdict Taken Gamely.
"I was all alone in my room in the
hotel, and terribly lonesome and blue.
I really don't know why I took the poi
son. I'm sorry now for I am so sick."
Pretty 23-year-old Helen Carruthers
looked up from her cot at the Good
Samaritan Hospital, where' she was
taken after swallowing 30 bi-chlorlde
of mercury tablets at the Multnomah
Hotel late Tuesday night, and smiled:
"I'm awfully hungry, too. They won't
give me anything to eat."
Dr. J. Kttelson entered at this mo
ment. "Say, doctor," eald his fair patient,
whose face is familiar to thousands of
"movie" fans, who have seen her in
films of Charlie Chaplin and G. M.
("Broncho Billy") Anderson, "when can
I have something to eat?"
Condition of Girl Serious.
"Not for several days at least," re
sponded the physician.
The girl pouted.
"Why didn't you let me die?" she
asked. "Slow starvation is the worst
sort of death."
The condition of Miss Carruthers.
who Is a striking type of film beauty
with Titian hair and large blue eyes, is
serious, and recovery is doubtful. She
was despondent over the failure of a
vaudeville act in which she was sched
uled to appear on the Keith & Proctor
circuit, when she took the poison. She
arrived in Portland Tuesday from Se
attle and was on her way back to Cali
fornia studios where she had formerly
worked. Miss Carruthers starred and
played "second leads" in Selig. Key
stone and Kssanay film portrayals. She
was last employed by the Essanay
studio at Niles, appearing with the fa
mous film actor, G. M. Anderson.
As to her relatives and friends. Miss
Carruthers Is reticent and will say
nothing.
Failure Provokes Brooding.
Miss Carruthers denied ever before
having had a thought of suicide. The
Idea came to her as she sat in her room
at the hotel, brooding, perhaps, over
the failure of her . attempt to enter
vaudeville, and thinking possibly of a
suicide Joke she had heard at a local
theater that night.
"I remember thinking about that
joke afterward, but I don't know why
I Bhould have tried suicide. I wouldn't
have minded so much if I had succeeded,
but It has Just made me beastly sick."
The physician, who had left the
room, returned, and Informed his pa
tient that his examination had shown
that her recoverv was doubtful.
She took the "blow gamely, smiling
up at the doctor.
"If I d don't get well, how long will
It be?" she asked.
"Not many days."
"How long will I be here If I get
well?" was her next question.
"Perhaps six months." answered Dr.
Ettleson.
"Whew one's about as bad as the
other," commented the girl, solemnly.
