8 TTTK MOKXIXG OTIEGONTAN. MONDAY. OCTOBER 4. 1915. PAY THEFT CHARGE, 4 YEARS OLD, FACED Oregon City Police Arresf A. E. Churchman. Who Es capes Detectives Often. RELATIVES DEAF TO PLEAS "Bis Xiglil" and Clerk's Disappear ance Follow Loss of $80 0, Funds of Eastern Company, Officers of Many Cltys Are Informed. Four years of dodging detectives; four years of futile entreaty to his relatives to pay the $800 he used on a "big- night" back in Connecticut In 1911. ended for Arthur E. Churchman yesterday when he was placed under arrest in Oregon City on request of A. C. Holmes, superintendent in Portland of the Pinkerton National Detective Agency. On the night of April 21. 1911, Churchman swung aboard a train leaving- Fairfields, Conn., apparently for Bridgeport. That same night a cash payroll of $800 vanished from the treasurer's office of the Aluminum Castings Company of Fairfieids. The suspicion that has hovered over Churchman ever since was. according to Superintendent Holmes, substantial ly confirmed yesterday when Church man was put under arrest. The story of a "big night" following his depart ure from Fairfields, awakening the next morning with a "head"; a brain storm, not knowing what to do, and vain pleadings with his relatives to make good the sum he had spent, was unfolded by Churchman. Officers Rluded Often. He will not fight extradition, he said yesterday. He has grimly awaited the day he knew he would be caught, al though he has taken no steps in the last four years, particularly, to con ceal his Identity or places of living. But he has been elusive. The Aluminum Castings Company "has persistently kept after Churchman pnd has engaged detectives and munic ipal police officers in many cities. The search has been aggravating to the authorities because he has evaded them in such cn easy-mannered way. When they were about to put their hands on him he would have left for another part of the land, and It was only recently that the Pinkerton office was able to learn through friends of Churchman that he came to Oregon. Superintendent Holmes closed in on him after assuring himself that he was the man wanted. Churchman never has taken an alias and is only 33 years old. Advance" Trltn Company Rapid. According to Mr. Holmes. Church man said he couldn't resist the temp tation to take the money he had drawn from the bank for the Aluminum Cast ings Company's payroll. Churchman formerly lived in Detroit. Mich., where some of his relatives are supposed to ho now. Ho was taken to Fairfields, Conn., ly a firmer manager of the company who discovered him In "De troit, ilo proved an apt employe and was advanced rapidly from shipping clerk to ttiat of confidential clerk in the office of the manager and treas urer. Health Seems Affected. He was sent to the bank to get the money for the payroll. It was left to him to put It in the safe. That night he took it and in the darkness swung onto a departing train, it is said. A "big time" followed for a night or two, and when he awoke from a drunken sleep the realization of his misstep came upon him, but the money whs either spent or stolen. Mr. Holmes said yesterday that Churchman appeared to be broken in health and spirit and had been drink ing when arrested. CHCR-CIIMAX IS MTLX. EMPLOYE Accused Resident of Oregon City Since 191? Iivlng Near Jail. OREGON CITY, Or.. Oct. 3. (Spe cial.) Arthur K. Churchman, for sev eral years employed by the Hawley Pulp & Paper Company and a resi dent of Oregon City since 1912, was arrested this morning by Chief of Po lice Bhaw upon Information furnished by Thomas Fegan, superintendent of the Connecticut State Police at Hart ford. A telegram received by Chief Shaw today from Superintendent Fegan, which explains the charges against Churchman, follows: "Arrest Arthur E. Churchman, fugi tive from Connecticut, on a charge of embezzlement of $S00 at Bridgeport. July. 1911. We have warrant and requisition papers for Churchman, and our officer, Frank Virellt, will start for Oregon City Monday. October 4. when you notify me that you have Church man In custody. Wire mo at my ex pense when arrest is made." Chief Shaw sent a message that Churchman was in custody this morning. At the time the arrest was made Churchman acknowledged that he was wanted In Connecticut, according to Chief Shaw, but later in the day re fused to make a statement. He lived across a 15-foot alley from the City Jail. Churchman was arrested early In the year with Clans Krohn and Charles Smalley on a charge of operating a blind pig. but was acquitted. Chief Shaw has been in close touch with the case for several weeks and has been working with Pinkerton detect ives, who learned that Churchman came to Oregon City from Connecticut. Sermon Thoughts From Portland Churches. THE talk of being religious without going to church is in most cases hypocrisy. These people want to listen to Dr. Green-Fields, Dr. Still-Water or Dr. Tennis Court." This was the declaration of Dr. L. K. Richardson, pastor of the Kenilworth Presbyterian Church, who took last night for his sermon topic, "Why Peo ple Stay Away From Church." Dr. Richardson quoted several of the popular reasons given for non-attendance: " Chnrch-going Is not essential for being religious.' This is possible." said the speaker, "but. the religion Is one sided and extremely selfish. In most cases the person Is irreligious. " I cannot support the church finan cially.' "Here is a case of false pride. No one was poorer than Peter. He said Silver and gold have I none.' but he made a capital church member. " 'I belong to the church at large.' "This is surely a large church.' said the pastor, "and this man believes a mob better than an army. " 'Sundays I have to work.' "This is too often true. . Most of eur , rich employers are unconverted. " "Too many hypocrites." "This Is not the church's fault. " 'Personal reasons tho preacher Is too fat or he is too thin or he has no halo or they use gas Instead of elec tricity.' " 'Services are too dull; the sermons, too, uninteresting.' "I have only one remedy for these people get converted. "The man who .sneers at the church assumes a greater wisdom than the Christ. For Christian character, for social reform, and for the evangeliza tion of the world, the church is neces sary and should have the hearty sup port of every self-respecting citizen and the prayers, sacrifice, talents and love of every believer," concluded Dr. Richardson. In a strong sermon on "Saul and His Shipwrecked Faith." Rev. J. M. Skin ner, pastor of the Rose City Park Pres byterian Church,- declared - that what was true regarding faith in that far-off day is true of every day and every land. Dr. Skinner said: "The human soul is made for faith in the unseen, and if its deep craving be not satisfied by the One Supreme Reality, that dwells within, it will seek satisfaction In other faiths and in su perstition. "What is the significance of this rest less spirit of our times; this running here and there after the religious Char latanism of the bottomless pit; syco-,! pnant.s trying to decipher the niero glyphics of our mummied soul? Is It not this that our age does not know God? "The simplicity of our faith is gone. We seek God from afar when he Is not far from every one of us. What won der that this tree of life withers when we water its roots with corrosives. There Is but one road back to the foun tain of a living, vitalizing, humanizing faith. "The relation in which any man stands to God must ultimately de termine everything else about him." CHURCH HEARS SENATOR MR. CHAMBERLAIN TELLS OF NEED FOR MILITARY TRAINING. B07 In School Should Learn Art of War, He Sara, to Provide for Reserve In Emergency. Senator George 13. Chamberlain, in an address yesterday before the cur rent events class of Westminster Pres byterian Church, discussed the unpre paredness of the United States to cope with even the smallest nation of the world, and declared that such a system of military training should be adopted that will develop a reserve force on which the country could depend In case of emergency, somewhat after the plan adopted In Switzerland. Senator Chamberlain declared that Japan or Great Britain could land each 200,000 men In the United States within 30 days, and the United States would be completely at their mercy. "I don't expect war and none of the men who believe this country should be prepared Tor emergency expect nor desire war, and they are as much opposed to war- as Carnegie or Ford, who are destroying the martial spirit in this country, but our very unpre pared condition Invites war. We do not want a standing army, for the country would not stand for that, but we ought to have a well-trained militia as the nucleus of an army for eelf riefense and self-preservation. Do you know that this country could not even compete with Mexico in our present condition? General Miles declared that Mexico could defeat our little armv if there should be war. If tho spirit that Carnegie is trying to develop in this country- prevailed in 1776. there would have been no tea thrown overboard at Boston, and this country would have been a dependency of Great Britain in stead of the great country it now Is. "The charge that marching and mili tary drill develop the war spirit is absurd, any more than because a man learns to box or trains his muscle causes him to want to fight. Little Switzerland, -where peace has pre vailed for hundreds of years, called out 300.000 trained and equipped men within 48 hours, and nobody will say that Switzerland Is a warlike nation. "Military training Is good for young men. It develops them mentally and physically, and makes them better citi zens. So, in this country, I favor that system of military training that will develop a. strong reserve of trained men who may be depended on In emergency not to incite war, but for self-defense. "The labor organizations should favor such a measure. I should favor military training in all educational in stitutions that are aided in any way by the general Government, like the Oregon Agricultural College, where young men are trained and disciplined by military training. We should not have a large - standing army, but should have at least 290.S00 trained men, beside a strong reserve force of men who have served six months or one year with the colors. This would not be war, but would be preparedness, and nothing more. "We now have 100,000 men scattered widely, and only 25.060 In the United States on which we could depend In case of emergency, little larger than the police force of New York." MR. DUFUR TAKES ISSUE GOVERNMENT RECLAMATION POL. ICY DECLARED DETRIMENT. Clande McCnlloch's Defense of Ferris Bill Before Evening Star Grange Brings Denunciation. "Tho reclamation policy of this Gov. ernment, as inaugurated by President -itooseveit, has done more than any thing else to retard development of the water facilities of this country, and la doing almost Irreparable damage to this country." declared W. H. H. Dufur before Evening Star Grange at the meeting held Saturday In the hall on the section Line road. , The Ferris bill was under discus sion, and Mr. Dufur's remarks Were made in answer to State Senator Claude McCulloch. who spoke In behalf of the Government control of all water power and declared that the Ferris bill would protect the water power of this country from, being monopolised and expionea at me expense of the tax payers. Mr. Dufur was in the employ of the Reclamation Service for several vears. and said his experience was that the lenaeney was toward the delay and de feat of all developments. "I agree with some things that Mr. McCulloch has said here today on the .rerris om. said Mr. Dufur, "but want to say right here that the ex perience of myself and others in this state has been most disastrous to de velopment of water-power enternrisea. Uncertainty and exasperating delays marked the dealings of the Govern ment officials, and many highly im portant enterprises have been com pletely defeated through the tem porizing policy of the Federal au thorities." J. W. Stevens, of the Portland fire department, spoke on fire prevention. Andy Carter Appointed Peputy. KELSO, Wash., Oet. t. 6pae!al.)

BALLY DAY GENERAL Portland Church Services Stimulate New Interest. SPECIAL EXERCISES HELD Religious Survey Is Made in Kcnil worth Daring WeekChildren Are Featured -Annual "Home Coming" Is Celebrated Rally day and home-coining services were celebrated yesterday in many of tho churches of the city. The First Christian. Unitarian. Cen tral Presbyterian, East Side Baptist and Rose City Park Methodist churches were among those that were largely attended and whose pastors gave appro priate sermons. In the Kenilworth Presbyterian Church the day's meetings were the finale of a week of hard work on the part of the pastor and his committees who had canvassed the neighborhood. During the six preceding days 647 fam ilies had been called upon in the terri tory bounded on the east by East Forty-sixth street; on the west by East Twenty-fourth street; on the south by Fifty-third avenue Southeast, arfd on the north by East Kelly straat. Work Will Be Continued. Within that area there were found 560 persons not attending any church; at 70 houses the families were out. but will be called upon later in the follow up work that Is to be continued all this Winter. Kenilworth has Inaugu rated a system that will be taken up by several other churches In the near future. In more than 450 homes where the occupants were interviewed it was found that there were several needy cases, and these will be attended to. The canvassers found 44 families who are Christian Scientists; 71 families Methodists; 44 Catholics; 61 whose members go t no-church; 16 Congre gatlonalist families: 30 Lutheran; 20 Baptist: 14 Episcopalian: 7 Spiritualist; 80 Presbyterian; 5 Christian; 6 Russel ites; 2 Jewish; 4 Italian; 1 New Thought; 3 Apostolic Faith; 4 United Brethren; 1 Xazarrene; 4 Adventists. In these families there were 1731 persons in terviewed. It was thought that had everyone been at home the record would have reached 2000. Non-Attendants Are Soucht. Dr. Ia K. Richardson, pastor of the church, said in discussing the work: "We were surprised to find 51 families in which members are non-attendants at church. We shall invite these again and again to come to church, and shall strive to make them welcome. Many people neglect church because they feel that no one is "Interested In them." A number of strangers accepted Ken ilworth church's Invitation, and the congregation at each service taxed the capacity of the church. In the Christian Church the morn ing programme included chorus by the junior choir, clever songs and read ings by Joy Johnson, Luclle Meserve, Kathryn Jones. Paul Jacobson and others. Rev. Mr. Darsle preached at night on "Borrowed Oil." Y-'nltarluna Celebrate. Rev. W. G. Eliot. Jr., spoke on the challenges of sin, justice and good in the world, in his sermon yesterday morning In the Church of Our Father. The Unitarian Church was well filled for this service, and communion was celebrated after the sermon. In the Sunday School and at the night service the attendance was unusually large. Yesterday, which was termed "home coming day," was observed after the custom of the church, the celebration being an annual affair. Central Presbyterian Church, of which the Rev. L. K. Grimes Is pastor, held special programme at noon. There were Bible stories, exercises, songs and recitations in which the Sunday school children participated. In all of the churches where rallies were held the boys and girls were featured in some way in the order of exercises. Rally day was made to appeal to young as well as the older persons. DOMINICAN MASS HELD FEAST OF HOLY ROSARY OBSERVED BY CATHOLIC ORDER. Day Set Apart to Commemorate Vic tory of Christians Over Turks In Battle of Lepanto. With solemn ceremonies and almost medieval pomp and splendor the Feast of the Holy Rosary, of the patron saint. St. Dominic, founder of the Dominican Fathers order, was celebrated yester day morning at the Dominican Church, East Third and Clackamas streets, the large auditorium being filled to its ca pacity. The rostrum was decorated with roses and illuminated with many colored candles, the figures of St. Com inic and other saints being made con spicuous through candle lights. Solemn high mass was celebrated first. A special sermon was preached by Rev. Father R. A. Lewis, who spoke of the work of St. Dominic in founding the order of the Dominican Fathers.

Then followed the procession of the Holy Rosary which, led by the Dominican Fathers and participated in by the acolytes and the entire congregation, encircled the church block. The acolytes carried the silken banners of the stations of the cross. rnts Feast or the Holy Rosary was instituted by Pope Plus V. to com memorate the victory of the Christians over the Turks at the battle of Lepanto and since then Dominican Fathers all over the world bless roses, the symbol of the rosary, and distribute them to the congregation and preach sermonj on the work of St. Dominic.

REST DAY IS T DR. TUFTS SPEAKS O-V LABOR CON DITIONS, AT CHURCHES. Proposed Law la Advocated and Cer tain Employments Designated As Near Slavery. Yesterday morning at the Forbes Presbyterian Church and last night at the jjirst Free Methodist Church. Dr. JU. Tufts discussed the question of weekly rest day law. After being introduced -by the respective pastors. Rev. H. H. Pratt and Rev. E. I.

And this is a civilized community. The police force members who are com pelled to be on their feet while on uty, have but two rest days a month. A week ago 1 spoke at Cottage Grove, and found there a tie factory which never stops work. Two shifts f men work 12 hours each out of the 4, handling heavy tics, seven days a week.

MANLY BOY WANTED Dr. Dyot Favors Real Training for Americans. DISCIPLINE IS HELD GOOD Pastor Says There M.ust Be Co-operation to Produce Best Citizens. Military High School Is Still Open. Question. "Many of our boys do need the dis cipline military training would afford. Too many of them are stoop-shoul dered, narrow-chested, awkward and ungainly In carriage. Some are fall ing Into bad habits that military train ing would correct." This statement made last night bv Dr. Luther R. Dyott. pastor of the First Congregational Church, came as a, part of his sermon on "Shall We Have Military Training in Our Hlo-h Schools V 'I did not raise my boy to be a sol dier' no, perhaps not," said . Dr. Dyott, and added: 'But let us hope that vou bava reared him, or you are rearing him. to be a man, a noble citizen of America, who shall know that right at any price Is better than some sorts of peace at any price. We do not want war, but we do want men in whose hands the future of our country shall be safe and whose lives shall guarantee the best for themselves and all coming genera tions. America for Americans is good, but Americans for America, that America may be for the whole human race, is better. "The home, the school, the state and the church are. or at least should be. Lltruistlc lnstltutlona "The home cannot be a public school- Neither can it accomplish the work of the public school. Just here ia one of the dangers in our American life. Parents are expecting too much to be done, by proxy, for their children and. all too often, do not give the school that co-operation which is necessary and richly deserved. "The spirit of the church should be one of profound interest and sane co operation also. Whatever may be the work of the parochial-school and the rights and preferences of any school. no church, or any sect, or creed, can oppose, or attempt to undermine our public school system here In America without subjecting Itself to the im peachment of being un-American. Now, that we have presented the claims of co-operation and its pur poses and alms, we take up the vital and germane question about which so many of us are concerned. Shall we have military training in our blgh schools? At once let It frankly be acknowledged that it does seem that this is by no means a one-sided mat ter. It is obvious that there is not perfect unanimity of opinion about this. Hence it is put as a question. "Expediency may suggest neutrality. Wisdom may say, 'Keep out of the war. Diplomacy may demand that we do the best we can to please both sides. But there is something better than all these. It is to know and do the right. "When It is proposed that we shall have military training in our high schools, let us remember that this is not an altogether new and untried thing. There are some features in which it differs from the cadet move ment of other days. It may be true that we need to be thinking of a greater preparedness for war, and that if war should come, the fact that our boys have not been trained will not deter them from de fending our country.
