-Negotiations for Safe Conduct Arc
Being Hurried So That Dip
lomat Slay Leave United
States This Week.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 27. Dr. Con-
stantin T. Dumba, Austro-Hungarlan
Ambassador to the United States, will
be formally recalled by his govern
ment according to assurances given
American Ambassador Penfield at the
Vienna Foreign Office. Mr. Penfield
had been instructed to make clear in
formally that "leave of absence" for Dr.
Dumba would not satisfy the request of
the United States in its formal note
asking for the recall of Dr. Dumba.
While discussing the situation with
Austrian officials Mr. Penfield was ad
vised that the wishes of the United
States would be complied with.
Safe Conduct to Be Arranged.
A note on the subject is being pre
pared and immediately upon its receipt
safe conduct home for Dr. Dumba will
be arranged and the incident, so far
us the United States s concerned will
be closed.
Until formal notification of Dumba's
recall is made state officials will make
no announcement. They are ready,
however, to hurry negotiations for the
safe conduct the moment satisfactory
word arrives from Vienna, that Dr.
Dumba may sail on the steamer Rot
terdam this week in accordance with
his plan.
No Delay Is Expected.
Charge d'Affaires Barclay, of the
T.ritish Embassy, called on Acting Sec
retary Polk at the State Department
today and later ho said Dr.
Dumba's unmolested massage could
he arranged by wire in a few hours if
Vienna's official acquiescence to the
American request for his recall should
arrive in time.
Written assurances that Madam
Dumba could proceed without fear of
interference from British and French
authorities was mailed Saturday, the
allied embassies having notified the de
rartment that safe conduct was super
fluous in the case of a non-combatant.

Wife of Boise Man Cora to Dayton
Without Drmar and Declares
Jury Will Free Her.
BOISE, Idaho, Sept. 27 (Special.)
The rude discovery that she was a big
amist because of the sudden coming to
life of husband No. 2. whom she sup
posed was dead, was the experience of
Mrs. Nellie Msy Sykes, arrested here
on a warrant from Sheriff W. T. Woo-
ten, of Dayton, Wash. She returned
with the Washington officers today
without demur, declaring she docs not
believe any Jury will convict her of tne
charge when it hears her story. Mrs.
Sykes was employed here as a. house
keeper.
The case of Mrs. Sykes Is the most
unusual. According to her own state
ment, her first husband, whose name
she does not give. died. She married
again, and after three years left her
husband. Some time afterward she re
ceived a marked copy of a newspaper
announcing the death of husband No.
2 in Canada. She accepted this as proof
of his death.
"It was not long after this that my
last husband urged me to marry him.
said Mrs. Sykes. After repeated urs
ine- on his nart I consented, believlntr
Jahnijthat his eight children were in need of
mother.

railroad. The failure of holders of
$950,000 face value of $19,000,000 out

District or Methodist Church.
The principal change made by Bishop
Cooke in his appointments was the
naming of Rev. T. B. Ford, of Oregon

Portland Methodist Ministers' Associa
tion last year, and has always been a
loyal supporter of the bishop. Rev.

will be transferred from Medford. his
appointment of last year's conference.
Prior to that time he was pastor of
the Sellwood M. E. Church. He is well
known in Portland.
Prior to the conference several of
the Portland churches had sent indorse
ment of their pastors to the bishop
with urgent request that they be re
turned. Among these were Rev. R.
Elmer Smith, of Sunnyside; Uev. T. W.
Lane, of Centenary, and Rev. C. C.
Rarick, of Central. Dr. Rarick's re
election to the secretaryship was an
important feature of the conference,
Before the gathering there was grave
doubt expressed among many Metho
dists regarding his chances of re-elec
tion.
Some doubt had been felt as to the
reappointment of several of the other
pastors whom the bishop named to be
returned to their churches. The fears
were without ground, for they were all
returned.
Rev. Alfred Bates, who did extensive
work this past year at Warrenton and
Hammond, will continue in the same
field. He was transferred last year
from Westmoreland. C. B. Harrison
will supply the Westmoreland church.
Rev. Henry T. Greene will continue
