CANDIDATE OF WEST AND CANDIDATE OF EAST WHO CONTEND FOR WOMAN'S CLUB FEDERATION PRESIDENCY
Rev. Mr. Grant Tells How New
Movement Has Doomed '
v- "Society Leaders." .
CAMPAIGN N EARING END
Xtst Aligned Against West iu Choice
of President of Federation.
. Speakers From Suffrage
States Are Heard.
. M5W YORK. May 28. The Woman's
Club has doomed the "society leaders"
in this country, according- to the Rev
erend Percy Stlckney Grant, rec
tor of the Church of the Ascension, of
this city, who spoke here today at a
vesper service attended by more than
2000 delegates ard alternates to the
13th biennial convention of the Gen
eral "Federation of Women's Clubs.
"In the face of your great organiza
tion," Dr. Grant said, "I see no place
left in American life for the 'society
leader,' or the woman of only social
influence. Your leadership is of the
brain . and the heart united for hu
mane and patriotic purposes.
"The woman's club is the Instrument
and symbol of woman's new place. In
her new place, woman has two things
to do. She must face the problems of
home cleaning and of house enlarge
ment. If I may be allowed to exhort
the members of the federated clubs, I
would cry out, 'Clean up America.'
Great Works Expected of Women.
"Preventable disease. war, high
dearfc. rate all these are your ene
mies. Clean up not only the defective
and destructive human material, but
defective and destructive ideas.
"Women are expected to rid the
country of the alcohol habit, to secure
a superior system of education, to rear
and help the young, to divest politics
of graft and to raise the tone of rural
life. Why is woman expected to do so
much? Why don't men do some of
these great chores of the race?
"Because." said Dr. Grant, answer
ing his own question, "most men are
slaves of conservatism, another name
of weakness. Youth works for age
and must do its bidding and so the en
feebled perpetuated its sway."
After a. caucus of the Illinois dele
gation today, it was announced that
the state will not present a candidate
for the Presidency. The state will vote
as a unit, it was reported unofficially,
for Mrs. Josiah Evans Cowles. Cali
fornia's candidate for the presidency.
Western Women Heard.
Thousands of delegates and visitors
crowded Carnegie Hall tonight to hear
women from 12 enfranchised states tell
of the benefits the vote had brought
them. Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt pre
sided. The speakers were: Miss Lucy
Ellis, representing the Arizona Federa
tion of Woman's Clubs; Mrs. E. D.
Knight., president California delega
tion; Mrs. W. R. Garretson, president
of the Colorado Federation; Mrs. John
P. Vollmer, president of the Idaho
Federation; Mrs. Frederick A. Dow,
representing Illnois; Mrs. J. M. Miller,
president of the Kansas Federation;
Miss Margaret Loughrin, representing
Montana; Mrs. C. P. Squires, president
Nevada Federation: Mrs.' Charles H.
Castner, president Oregon Federation;
Mrs. E. E. Corfman. president Utah
Federationi Mrs. Solon Shedd, president
Washington Federation, and Mrs. R. A.
Morton, president Wyoming Federa
tion. The candidacy for the presidency to
day became definitely fixed between
Mrs. Samuel B. Sneath, of Tiffin, O.,
and Mrs. Josiah Evans Cowles, of Los
Angeles, Cal. The three "dark horses"
who withdrew yesterday left the field
clear to the two rival candidates, and
brought the campaign to a well-defined
contest between the East and the West.
Preparedness la Issue.
Mrs. Sneath's champions are in
dorsing her candidacy on the theory
that the East is entitled to the honor
inasmuch as the last three presidents
have been from the West of the Mis
sissippi. Mrs. Sneath is a warm advo-
. cate of preparedness. She is also an
ardent suffragist, and is vice-president
of the Suffrage Association of
Ohio. The Middle West and Eastern
States are thought to be partial to Mrs.
Sneath. New England States are said
to be the balance in the convention.
Mrs. Cowles, unlike Mrs. Sneath, is a
pacifist. She is a Republican and is an
alternate delegate from California to
the National convention. She has been
treasurer and vice-president of the
federation and Is chairman of the peace
committee of the federation and has
been active in spreading pacifist liter
ature throughout the country.

Pnblisliers Association Will Form
Central Body to Guide Follow
ers in Politics Secret Ses
sion Held in Chicago.
CHICAGO. May 28. (Special.)
"They may be hyphenated Americans,
but their Americanism is un-hyphen-ated."
This is but one of a number of epl
gramatical phrases contained in a
"creed" which was submitted this
afternoon by the German - American
Newspaper Publishers' Association to
a gathering of Germans from all over
the country meeting at the Kaiserhof
Hotel. It is their intention to form
here a central body which shall keep in
touch with all the German-American
organizations in the United States, with
a view to-being their mentor and guide
in matters of National political impor
tance and in other questions in which
the body of German-Americans of the
country are interested.
Between the lines of the creed sub
mitted for the approval of this gather
ing, and which will be acted on to
morrow, it was said, can be read slaps
at both President Wilson and Colonel
Roosevelt. The meeting itself was
called an executive session and was
barred to outsiders, but high words
occasionally carrying through the
closed doors, and short talks inter
spersed with bursts of applause, was
evidence of a high pitch of interest
within.
Some of the things which the tenta
tive creed advocated are:
An adequate preparedness based on
patriotism; American ships for our for
eign commerce; maintenance of the
Panama Canal free to American ships;
insistence by America of the freedom
of the seas.
The phrase that readers of the creed
interpreted as a slap at President Wil
son was read into the following sentence
"We believe In frank diplomacy and
International good will as opposed to
the double standard in foreign rela
tions, which Judges with harsh acerb
ity the mistakes of one nation and con
dones with academic disapproval the
offences of another."
This is the sentence which was in
terpreted as a thrust at Colonel
Roosevelt
"A deaf ear should be turned to all
demagogues that trade upon National
antipathies and seek to extoll their
own loyalty by impugning that of
others.
BULGARS INVADE GREECE

tion and bridge at Demlr-HIssar. Ac
tivlty at other points indicates an im
portant movement upon Greek Mace
donia."
Balgar Troops Mot In sr.
Telegraphing to Paris from Saloniki,
under date of May 27. the Havaa cor
respondents say that the Bulgarian
troops, which on May 26 occupied Fort
Roupel. on the River Struma, in Greece,
have sent patrols to instal themselves
in the neighborhood of the Demir
Hissar bridge, which was partly de
stroyed by the entente allies.
Important movements of Bulgarian
troops, the report adds, are going on
between Oktchilar and Kanthia and on
the left bank of the River Nestos. The
Bulgarians have extended their occu
pation in the region of Demir-Hissar to
the station and to part of the environs
of the' village. The usual cannonading
is reported along the rest of the front,
with a lively infantry engagement on
the left bank'of the Vardar.
Greece Utters Protest.
Greece's protest against the military
operations undertaken by the central
powers and Bulgaria in Greek Mace
donia was forwarded from Athens last
night to the Ministers of Greece at Ber
lin. Vienna and Sofia.
The Bulgarians entered Greek terri
tory virtually unopposed and hls has
caused violent comment in the press
and considerable agitation among the
population.
The Greek military authorities at
Athens say they were unable to com
municate with their troops in Eastern
Macedonia. The belief is general in
Athens that It is the Intention of the
Greek government to confine its action
to a protest.
- Populace la Indignant.
As an outgrowth of the popular In
dignation resulting from the violation
of Greek territory a big meeting has
been called at Saloniki for tomorrow
to protest against the action of the Ger
man and Bulgarian troops.
The position of Rupel Is an Impor
tant one. It dominates the defile lead
ing to Demir-Hissar bridge, which is
the key to Seres and which also Is re
ported to have been occupied. An ad
versary thus controls the railroad from
Saloniki to Kavalla.
Germans Aid Bui gars. '
The correspondent at Athens of the
Exchange Telegraph Company says he
learns from Saloniki that the Bul
garians gave the Greeks two hours to
surrender Rupel fort, which Is six miles
from the Demir-Hissar bridge, recently
blown up by the French In anticipation
of this attack.
Athens newspapers say that the depu
tation of German and Bulgarian offi
cers. In determining the surrender of
Fort Rupel explained that its occupa
tion was necessary to secure the Bul
garian left wing against an eventual
entente allied attack.

7 BISHOPS CONSECRATED
RT. REV. M. S. HUGHES, TO COME TO
PORTLAND. AMONG NUMBER.
Mrthodlst Conference Which Cloaca
Today Characterised as One of
Most Important Ever Held. .
SARATOGA SPRINGS. N. Y.. May 28.
Seven new bishops and two mission
ary bishops of the Methodist Episcopal
Church were consecrated this after
noon at an impressive service which
was almost the last important business
of the 27th general conference before
final adjournment tomorrow. The
bishops consecrated and the stations
to which they have been assigned
were:
Herbert Welch. Seoul: Corea;
Thomas Nicholson. Chicago; Adna
Wright Leonard, San Francisco; Mat
thew Simpson Hughes. Portland, Or.;
William Fitzjames OMham, Buenos
Ayres; Charles Bayard Mitchell. St.
Paul; Franklin Hamilton, Pittsburg.
The Missionary bishops were Kben
Samuel Johnson, Africa and Alexander
Priestley Camphor, the only negro
chosen to the Episcopacy this session.
Liberia, Africa.
The conference Is characterised by
the delegates as one of the most im
portant held, principally because of the
plans adopted, which it is believed,
will lead to the unification of Metho
dist churches within four years and
perhaps by 1918.
When the conference adjourns It
will be to meet at the call of the
bishops, thus giving opportunity for
another session of the conference two
years hence. If it is-believed advisable.
The plans for unification will then be
presented to the Southern Church by
representatives of both churches who
are to arrange the details in the
meantime.
JOINT RATES ARE ORDERED
Great Northern and Northcro Pa-
clfic lose Rate Case and Must
Fix Lumber Tariffs on Basis of
Eastern Washington Group.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington. May 28. Following the prin
ciple laid down In numerous decisions
heretofore rendered, the Interstate
Commerce Commission, in ordering the
establishment of Joint rates on lumber,
from Eastern Oregon, via the Northern
Pacific and Great Northern to points in
Montana and the Dakotas, based on
differentials over the rates from Spo
kane, again asserted that the right of
a carrier to reserve or restrict markets
on its own line cannot be sanctioned.
- It appeared. In the case of the East
ern Oregon Lumber Producers' Associa
tion vs. Northern Pacific, Great North
ern and other roads that the Northern
Pacific and Great Northern have re
fused to establish Joint rates with the
O.-W. R. & N. because they desire to
reserve the Montana and Dakota mar
kets on their lines for the mills on
their lines. This purpose was admitted
in the course of the argument of the
case.
' Complaint was filed by the Eastern
Oregon Lumber Producers' Association
on -behalf of its nine members having
mills at Perry, La Grande, Baker, Wal
lowa and Elgin. Or., on the line of the
O.-W. R, & N.. and grew out of the
refusal of the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern to Join with the O.-W.
R. & N. in establishing through routes
and joint rates on lumber to points on
the Northern Pacific and Great North
ern east of Silver Bow, Mont.
The rates now In effect, based on the
local rates to and from the Northern
Pacific and the Great Northern Junc
tions with the O.-W. R. & N. were said
to be unreasonable, and were said to
give the mills on the northern roads In
what is known as the Spokane group
an undue preference. Some of the
Eastern Washington lumber mills in
tervened in opposition to the complainants.

Methodist MInUter Says It Is Easy to

Be Laughed At.
"I am for preparedness for peace. I
believe we must have arms and arma

heard In defense of peace and I stand
for all the preparedness that may be
necessary for this," said Rev. Walter
Lee Airheart. assistant pastor of the
First Methodist Church, who spoke yes

"But. I want to know what forces are

then laugh at them."
The speaker paid tribute to the Civil
War veterans and to all men who had
demonstrated their patriotism.
"Wherever upon the seas the stars
float they stand for the Monroe Doc

that called forth this statement of Na

most defiantly confront us today.
"It is dangerous to fight, but it is far
