Daughters of Revolution Appeal to Churches of All Denomina tions to Take Part. The good citizenship committee of the Daughters of the American Revolu tion for the State of Oregon are urg ing ministers throughout the state to observe July 2 as "Citizenship Sunday,' by addresses on patriotism, good citi zenship, loyalty and other kindred sub jects fitting for such a day. The campaign for the observance of Citizenship Sunday was started by the Bureau of Naturalization, Department of Labor. The Bureau of Naturalization also is interested in the establishing of night schools in connection with the public schools. In less than a year this bureau se cured the co-operation of 650 cities and towns In 45 states in establishing these schools, and since last September about 650,000 names of foreigners who have applied for naturalization papers have been forwarded these schools with most gratifying results. These night schools conduct a two year course in which the pupils are taught reading and writing, and par ticularly United States history, govern ment and civics, and also the rights. duties and responsibilities of citizen shin. Realizing that the churches could aid materially in forwarding the good citi zenship movement, the Bureau of Nat uralization has approached the churches of all denominations all over the coun try in an endeavor to have at least one Sunday a year set aside as Citizenship Sunday. July 2 this year was selected as Citizenship Sunday on account of being nearest to Independence Day. PERJURY IS ADMITTED AFFIDAVITS IX S50O0 DAMAGES CASE ARES FILED. Effort to Set Aside Judsmeat Awarded to' Mrs. Wallace Against Car Company Is Made. Affidavits admitting perjury and subornation of perjury were filed ia the Circuit Court yesterday with a motion to vacate the $5000 Judgment in the damage suit of Selma L. Wallace against the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company, returned September 17, 1915. What purports to be an affidavit of Edson Carr, material witness In the action, admits that the things he testi fied to in the trial were false and that he was not near the scene of the acci dent when Mrs. Wallace was hurt, and knew nothing about the case until ap proached by T. S. Molesworth, who told him to what he was wanted to testify. A second affidavit, presumably signed by Molesworth, admits the employment of Carr as a witness and ah agreement between himself, the plaintiff and Clyde Wallace, husband of the plain tiff, by which he was to receive a com mission on the amount of Judgment received. Mr. and Mrs. Wallace have been ar rested in North Yakima on an indict ment charging subornation of perjury and will be extradited this week. Carr and Molesworth cannot be found by the authorities. Indictments have been re turned against both by the Multnomah County grand Jury, charging Carr with perjury and Molesworth with suborna tion of perjury. In the affidavit Carr asserts that the didn't know there had been an acci dent until informed and Instructed by Molesworth. The affidavit of Moles worth Is quite as sweeping, admitting the plot and the knowledge of the plaintiff of the plan to buy a witness. "Piffles" is a clown. Beneath the paint and garb behind the smirk and smile beats a heart as true as steel. One day at the circus the chariot horses run away and Piffles throws himself in front of the maddened steeds to save the life of a little crippled boy. The clown is taken -to the boy's home and nursed back to health. The daughter of the house has a love affair, and the recipient of her affections leaves for the West to make his fortune. Word comes that he has met death while cross ing; the desert. The girl tries to commit suicide, but is prevented by Piffles. She tells him her great secret she is soon to be a mother so in order to shield her from disgrace the clown offers to marry her. She accepts ; then follows a life of devotion and self-sacrifice, in hope that some day he may win her love. His big, stout heart went out to mother and child and if ever there was presented an example of pure, unselfish love, it is this. But her old sweetheart, whom she thought dead, returned and Piffles, realizing that he stood, in the way of her happiness, re turned to his tent and the old life, where "all de kids' in de woild belong to me."
