WOMEN'S MISSIONS ACTIVE MEAD 66 99 13 SECRETLY INDICTED XJoss Land Controversy In Xorth Riv er District of Paoiric County at Bottom of Proceedings. People Are Surprised. JlOQUIAM. Wash.. May 21. (Special.) Deputy Marshals John M. Boyle, J. T. Secrist and Tom Fleetwood, of Tacoma. went into the North River Valley this morning to arrest 13 ranchers of that district indicted secretly yesterday in Tacoma by the Federal grand jury in connection with the night-rider cases of two years aso. They returned this evening with eight of the men and left tonight for Tacoma. The other five wanted were out of the district. The North River Valley is a long nar row valley, running north to Grays Jiarbor from the northern part of Pa cific County. The night-rider trouble occurred on the Pacific County side, but the district is most accessible from tirays Harbor. The eight men arrested are: Homer Blaine. Trent Tidwell. John N. How ard and his son Ralph, Claude Vander poole, Mike Hanrahan, Enoch Dillard and Deputy Sheriff James Simmons, of Pacific County. ' The men are charged wit h interfering with settlers on Fed eral lands. XOKTJI RIVER IS SURPRISED Federal Action After State Acquittals Conies Unexpectedly. SOUTH BEND. Wash., May 21. (Spe .cial.) Pacific County residents today were greatly surprised to read that the Federal grand Jury at Tacoma had returned 13 indictments, supposed to involve local people in the alleged night-riding cases in the North River district. Mrs. Margaret Ross, who with her two sons were the center of the land controversy that raged in that section some time ago, is named as the complainant. Sentiment In this county is against the contention of Mrs. Ross. She and her sons have cost the Pacific County taxpayers $20,000 in legal proceedings. Four trials were held in the state courts, and in all cases the defendants, members of families who were pioneer settlers here, were acquitted. According to reports yesterday secret indictments returned at Tacoma will result in. the arrest this week of some of those Involved in the former trials. Sheriff Tom Bell has not yet been asked to arrest any North River people. He expects that the United States Mar shal's deputies will go in from Grays Harbor County to Brooklyn and make the arrests without calling on the Pa cific County authorities. Rudolph Distler, of Cosmopolis, dis missed from the Federal grand jury, never sat on the Pacific County grand Jury. He lives in Grays Harbor County. CHURCH MAY BE REOPENED Taylor-Street Edifice May Be Branch of First Congregation. Possibilities of the re-opening of the old Taylor Street Methodist Church after the appointment of a new bishop, are being discussed by several Port land Methodists. A theory advanced yesterday by a prominent church member was that the church might be opened as a mission or branch of the First Church. "In this way, the property can be used and harmony can be established," said the churchman. Another suggestion was the re-open-Ing of the building as an independent church, and still another was that the building might be torn down and an office building erected with a missfion and social center on the ground floor.

T & L "Salvation Joan," "Glo ria's Romance." Columbia "Not My Sister," "A Dash of Courage." , Majestic "Battle of Hearts." v Majestic. REDOLENT with the atmosphere of the sea fishing smacks, fisherfolk. smugglers, etc. "Bat tle of Hearts," the latest William Fox feature, starring the popular William Farnum, is one of the most convinc ingly pleasing stories of "men who go down to the sea in ships" seen on the screen. It is a story of a strong man, ruthless at times, waging warfare against the soa. more ruthless than he: against hat?, more treacherous than he, and for love, which he wins when defeat is almost acknowledged. A spec al and attractive feature of the programme is the screening of the May festival activity on Multnomah Field last week. The pictures are re markably clear, depicting the thou sands who appeared in costume evolu tions under the direction -of . Robert Krohn. A Vitagraph comedy, "More Money Than Manners." provides amus ing entertainment. "Battle of Hearts," which introduces Elda Furry as Farnum's new leading woman, and Wheeler Oakman of "The Spoilers" and "The Ne'er-do-well" fame, as the villain. Is a story involv ing the eternal triangle". Farnum is Martin Cane, owner of a fisher fleet and mm of iron, who is in love with Maida Rhodes, daughter of a fisherman. His love is repulsed, the girl choosing Jo Spragve, a worthless youth of the vil'ac- Cane is shipwrecked, loses his fleet, and returns to the village in time to prevent the wedding of Jo and Maida.

Jo puts the lighthouse out of commission and Maida's vessel is wrecked, but the girl is saved by Cane. Cane raids the smugglers, but Jo escape?, hides on Cane's boat and then tries to kill him. ' The girl -finally turns to the strong man, offering him the avenue to tell ot his love when he is ready to idmit defeat.; T & T Theater. Edna May, famous comic opera star jf a' few years ago, known as the Belle of Now York": Billie Burke, perhaps the most famous of present day comediennes, and Frank Daniels, a comedian of more than National prominence, contribute to the T & D programme which opened yesterday. Edna May appears in "Salvation Joan." a seven-reel V-L-S-E feature, which is infinitely more exciting than the name would indicate. Billie Burke is presented in "Caught by the Scminoles." the second chapter of the film novel, "Gloria's Romance." Frank Daniels is serened in a one reel "Vitagraph comedy of the Mr. Jack series, "Mr. Jack, Doctor by Proxy." A special feature is a film snowing May festival scenes at Multnomah Field Few players make so impressive a motion picture debut as does Edna May. Her complete avoidance of cheap actlntr'and evident command of quiet emotion splendid restraint is perhaps the most gratifying thing about her. The play itself starts rather slowly, with a Salvation Army angle, which is interesting but unexcit- inp. but the last lour reels are crammed full of action and suspense, with a genuine surprise bringing the feature to a close. The heroine, a wealthy and philanthropi-; woman of society, does much good in -the guise of a Sal vation Army lassie. She meets Bill, apparently a gangster, but really a se cret service man, and they fall in love. Later they meet in a society environ ment amid international plots. Billie Burke's smart garb gives way to tight-fitting boy's clothing in the second chapter of "Gloria's Romance," and her appearance is more charming than ever. She is rescued from Semi nole Indians and Florida everglades, but thanks the wrong man for her restoration to father. Pickford. Admirers of Clara Kimball Toung, and they constitute nearly all motion picture fans, will not be disappointed in "The Feast of Life." the second Brady- made World feature, which is on exhl bitlon at the Pickford Theater. Miss Young's rare beauty, her charm of per sonallty, and her emotional appeal, are as potent as ever in her characteriza tion of Aurora Fernandez, an aristo cratic young Cuban girl who is forced to marry a wealthy landowner while ardently loving a handsome young fisherman. - The presence of Miss Young, a ro mantic story, and unusual and pic turesque locations, contribute to make "The Feast of Life" a pleasing photo drama. To suit the Cuban locale, the heroine becomes the prey of a domi neering and unpleasant don, who ia given the girl to save the family acre age from a mortgage foreclosure. Aurora and his fisherman-lover first meet in a church, developing Into a sort of spiritual flirtation. This de velops into a more ardent passion when Pedro discovers that his "lady of the lilies." possesses less. Madonna-like traits. The two meet often, before and after Aurora is married. This state of affairs leads to serious trouble, with the husband stabbing Pedro. However, the lover recovers and the husband drops dead, thus conveniently paving the way for happiness for the living. The production was filmed in Cuba, the photographer utilizing the" luxuri ous backgrounds to be found near Ha vana and Santiago. The photogrophy is mediocre in spots, but does not in jure the story or rob the production of many really beautiful effects. A Mutt and Jeff comedy, "The Mess Kitchen," another of the Bud Fisher cartoon features, is another attraction. Peoples. The atmosphere of the hills of strong passions, of hate and of love Is graphically depicted in "The Feud Girl," a Famous Players-Paramount feature starring Hazel Dawn at the Peoples Theater. Strong situations, un usually convincing because of the pic turesque background of the Georgia hills and the presence of members of real mountain clans, and wonderful scenic effects, are noteworthy In this story of a wild mountain girl who brings peace to warring factions and supplants hate with love and friend ship Brilliant photography and excellent characterizations aid In establishing an retaining tne atmosphere of the Southern mountains. Hazel Dawn is always beautiful in the camera's- eve and is cast in a role which fits her admirably. The story, strong in "heart interest," leads to a series of really gripping situations, including- a fist fight certain to make the turn their heads away. The massing of the clans, and their deploying ..;iu..Kn me lorests, are especially ef fectlve. Miss Dawn has the role of a girl of me mountains who is selected by th head of her clan, hei- fafh.. , feminine contribution to a marriage which is to unite the Haddon and Bas sett feudists, making possible the sale of property, the title to which has caused the trouble between the fam ilies.

Convention of Northern Organiza tions at Minneapolis Takes Vp Task of Obtaining: Greater Efficiency In Efforts. - MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., May 21. (Special.) The Northern Baptist Con vention, representing 32 states and as many more foreign countries, was ush ered in during the week by prelimin ary meetings of the Women's Home and Foreign Mission Societies, who held spectacular pageants and pro grammes. An unofficial meeting- of representative -Baptists also held an all- day session in which was dis cussed the question of greater efficiency and economy of operat ing the Home Mission work now carried on by the American Baptist Home Mission Society and the Ameri can Baptist Publication Society some what independently In administration. For many years the denomination has trended toward consolidation and closer co-operation. These two socie ties, founded by individual Baptists and for more than 75 years operated as independent societies, are likely to be operated so their work will not dupli cate but supplement and strengthen each other. How to bring this about is one of the great questions of this con vention and provides what Dean Whailer Matthews, of Chicago Univer sity, calls the greatest opportunity facing the denomination in many years ftocletlen Have Kndowmenta, Each society has endowments amounting to probably more than $1,000,000 .and each society oper ates through separate official boards and employs hundreds of missionaries, while the - Publica tion Societ;. fs the great " publishing house of the Baptists of all America. The Minneapolis auditorium was filled when President Matthews called the delegates to order Wednesday morning. This gathering had the qualification for a great meeting. One hundred and ten thousand baptisms . had been gathered during the year. Nearly $4,000,000 had been raised for missionary work and the "five-year programme" launched at Los Angeles last year had thrilled the denomination as no other objective had ever done.

President Matthews, who also Is the president of the Federal coun cil of the Churches of Christ- of Amer ica, a council representing all the large Protestant bodies, delivered the presi dent's address. He said one of the greatest problems was to get the greatest efficiency from democracy without external control; to permit and encourage the expression of the indi vidual in co-operation and social re lations. Three notable addresses were given by Dr. Herbert S. Johnson, of Bos ton, but-an Oregon product; President Rush Rees, of Rochester University, and Rav. Thomas J. Villars, D. D., of Detroit. The words flung across the immense platform back of the presi dent's chair real" "Let us get together by working together." MK. HUGHES ASKED TO AID Supreme Court Justice May Formu late Co-operative Plan. The Hard Shell, Free Will and Sev- enth Day Baptists may noon be a thing of the past. Baptists will be Baptists and forget dividing lines and imagi nary differences in the great desire for efficiency and religious strength. Educational interests will be co-relat ed, and the publishing concerns will be put on a better business basis. AH this will come to pass, it is predicted, if Justice Hughes takes a hand as a member of the committee on adjust ment in the Baptist denomination. At least, this is the opinion of many lead ing local .Baptists. At the NortHern Baptist convention in Minneapolis on"Saturday, President Shailer Mathews, dean of Chicago University, announced that he would appoint Justice Hughes to act on the adjustment commission. Rev. W. O. Shank, pastor of the East Side Church, said: "I feel sure that Justice Hughes will use his influence to get the church on an efficiency basis. It is the desire of the best- thinking men of the denomination to do away with dividing lines and get together for good, sound, worth-while work. There are the Free Will Baptists and the Seventh Day Baptists and some others who should get in and forget little, imaginary lines and pull to gether. A man like Mr. Hughes can inspire these men, I am sure, and can make them all see that effectual work can be done only when efficiency is the watchword. It is needed in re ligion as much as anywhere. "The Hard Shell Baptists have just about passed out, so they aren't grlvinf; anyone cause to worry. "The interests, the religious colleges and the home "missionary and publica tion societies should be amalgamated and arranged so that overlapping is done away with. "Our five-year programme of work will require all our energies. We must work together." ROSEBURG WILL BE HOST Advance Guard of Oddfellows Ar - rive for Convention. ROSEBURG. Or.. May 21. (Special.)

Th so-ralled '-worldly amusements" and their relations to the members of the Methodist Kpiscopal Church prob ably will overshadow in importance the majority of proposals to be presented to the general conference during the fourth week of the quadrennial ses sion, which begins tomorrow. Two definite propositions will be submitted, one from the majority com mittee on the state of the church, which favors the retention of the pres ent prohibition against card playing, dancing and theater-going, and another from the minority of the same commit tee, which will ask that the paragraph be deleted, and that the position of the church as opposed to these amusements be made clear by other means. The rules of the church now provide expulsion as a penalty for members who engage in these diversions. It is asserted that this is rfot enforced by any pastor, though previous attempts to effect a change have always failed. The advisability of continuing the pub lication of all the periodicals now is sued under church auspices will be de bated early In the week.

LAFFERTY TO RUN AS AN INDEPENDENT To the Public: I had not intend ed to run as an in dependent candi date for Congress this year if defeat ed in the primary, but the circum stances of the clos ing days of the pri mary campaign compel rje to do so. Two days before the primary The Oregonian an nouneed that it would not support me if I was. nomi nated. It stated that I was with out character, truthfulness or in dustry. By such outrageous tactics The Oregonian in timidated its following into voting against me. Neither The Oregonian nor McArthur supported me four years ago when I had the regular Republican nomina tion. They bolted my nomiiuition and supported Thomas McOusker. They would have done the same this year. Old Scandal Reviewed. But that is not the worst of It. On the very morning of the primary this year the McArthur supporters printed in The Oregonian an infamous article coni-ernirfcg my character which un doubtedly drove enough votes.from me to accomplish my defeat. T had no chance to answer it. It was & cowardly assault. by running Independent I shall give the people a chance to know me and to ascertain, whether that assault was justified. If they find it was not, their sense of fair play should result irk my certain election to Congress on Novem ber 7. The printed story was a distorted magnification of the old scandal hatched against me by railroad lob byists at Washington five years ago. It was started four days after I made my first speech ir Congress In favor of enforcing the O. & C. I.and Grant and has cost me my fortune, immeas urable energy and possibly my life's happiness. But I have fought under this handicap and on June 23, 1915. I won the Land tirant case in the Su preme Court. Story Absolutely Groundless. The story originally was without any shadow of foundation. I merely sent a letter to a young lady 19 years of age. addressed to her home in an en velope with my name printed on the outside, and stated that I would like to make her acquaintance. It was sent with but one motive, and that the highest that any man could have. Today I am flat on my back as a re sult of the fight made upon me be cause of what I have tried to do for Oregon. I appeal to the people of Mult nomah County to help me rise to my feet. My office may be taken by attach ment in a few days. Were I to be taken ill I would have no place to go but the Multnomah County Farm. If I win November 7 it will be the greatest personal victory and the great est victory for the public that was ever recorded at an election in this state. My name will go on the ballot In a short time, regardless of anything you may read to the contrary. This is pos sibly the last advertisement I will have the money to print for months. A. W.
