RECALL ELECTION TODAY
Seaside Determining Status of J. Xt.
Berry, Auditor.
SEASIDE, Or., Oct. 17. (Special.)
The city is to hold a recall election to
morrow for the purpose of determining
whether J- L. Berry, Auditor and Police
Judge, shall continue in office for the
remainder of his term.
Judge Berry, acting as Auditor for
the city, is charged by the administra
tion with refusing to sign papers and
denying the proper law officer, files and
records necessary in the prosecution of
suits at law. Also that he mistakes
the purely administrative duties of his
office for'executive functions.
The candidates against the present
incumbent are Frank Hayek and Ed
Abbott.
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 17. The house of
deputies of the general convention of
the Protestant Episcopal Church today
voted to eliminate the special prayers
for the President of the United States
from the morning and evening prayer
eervlce and to substitute for them a
prayer for the safety and preservation
of the Nation.
The same prayer 'will be used in both
services.
As it is now in the prayer book the
morning prayer asks for the President
the boon "in health and prosperity long
to live" and that he finally may "attain
everlasting joy and felicity." The new
prayer as adopted for both services,
while asking for the President "and all
others in authority the wisdom and
strength to know and to do thy will,"
makes no reference to long life, health,
prosperity or eternal felicity.
The house also voted, despite vigor
ous protests, to omit the words, "the
Governor of this state" from the even
ing prayer, it being argued that "all
others in authority" included the Gov
ernor. The change, which was adopted at
the suggestion of the commission on
prayer book, must be approved by the
house of bishops and by the next gen
eral convention before it can become
effective.
Prayer-Book Changes Considered.
In the house of deputies the day was
largely occupied by the reading of the
proposed changes in the Book of Com
mon Prayer.
The house of bishops, the upper
body, holding its meetings behind
closed doors, also spent the day con
sidering the proposed changes.
Skillful parliamentary maneuvering
caved the resolution admitting women
to membership in the house of deputies
from being killed by an adverse com
mittee report. Robert H. Gardner, of
Maine, who introduced the resolution
made a motion placing the original
resolution on the calendar, thus giving
it a chance for discussion in the house,
He explained that woman is no
longer a chattel, as she was regarded
1900 years ago, when the church was
founded.
Cognizance of the European war was
taken in both houses of the conven
tion today. From the bishops came the
announcement that the pastoral letter
this year will contain a message to the
communicants of the church "in view of
the present world crisis." This letter
is read at the final session of each tri
ennlal convention and subsequently in
each Protestant Episcopal church in the
United States.
Remedy for War Sought.
Steps fooking toward an official ex
pression from the convention of its at
titude on practical methods tending to
minimize war were taken today when
the house or deputies adopted a reso
lutlon submitted by Lewis Stockton, i
layman of Buffalo, N. x . This pro
posed that a committee of three clergy
men and three laymen be appointed to
present a resolution embodying these
ineas to tne nouse. ine House ot
bishops concurred in the resolution.
A larger religious life in the homes
of the United States was urged in a
resolution introduced in the house of
deputies by Rev. Charles N. Tyndell.
of Williamspbrt, Pa. This resolution,
which was referred to committee, said
there had been serious changes in the
family and the home life of the Amer
ican people during the present genera-,
tion and that it is to the church that
the people look for a definite leader
ship in conserving the best elements.
The resolution provides for a commis
sion of five bishops, five clergymen and
five laymen "to study the whole ques
tion of the present status and condition
of the home and family life of the
people of the United States in its rela
tion to religion and morals." making a
report to the 1919 convention.

Tr. A. L. Crim said last night that he
had received a call from the board of
the First Christian Church at Eugene
and that after a conference with them
last week the call had been repeated,
but he had answered the Eugene board
that unless the call came from the
entire congregation he would not ac

to have undivided support.
While in Eugene recently Dr. Crim
conducted a series of meetings and
made a favorable impression among
the church folk. He has been emi

Church here. Up to last night he had
received no definite information of the
desire of the Eugene Church, but said
he expected to be notified today.
H. E. BloyU, chairman of the official
board of the church, said that the
local church has so far received no
official announcement that any call
has been issued, but admitted that Dr.
Crim was considering negotiations

New Industry Landed.
"I don't believe the people of Port
land realize what they have started in
this shipbuilding Industry. Watch it
for two years and mark my word that
it will spread far beyond your present
conception. I live in,Duluth and I
know what the coming of shipbuilding
plants forecast. It is not only the
question of destroying the ships now
being used in commerce. All nations
are now planning to expand their com
merce as soon as the war is over and
there will be a vast amount of new ton
nage to take care of.
"Not only that but you are going to
see a tremendous lumber revival as
soon as the war is concluded and the
lumbermen of the Portland field will
take advantage of the situation and
sell their wares for the manufacture
cf wooden ships alongside the steel
ship industry.
"If we didn't feel positive of Port
land's sound destiny we would not be
making this heavy investment. We are
paying a good price but the prjees now
iiicvauiug vii Hwiover properly will
go up materially before we get through
witn it.
"Do you know the lots in Westover
that are now selling for between $4000
and. $5000 could not be bought in any
other city for twice that figure? One
hundred dollars a front foot is no price
at all for high-class city residence
property.
Other Property Contrasted.
"The two choicest residence districts
in America today are Rolland Park in
Baltimore and the Country Club dis
trict in Kansas City, which was put
on the market by Jason Nichols. We
ntend to place Westover Terraces more
prominently before the public than
these two districts and expect great
pleasure in doing so. Mr. Nichols is
always in demand at conventions be
cause people are anxious to hear about
his Country Club tract and the same
will be true of the Portland hillsides,
which possess the exceptional qualitiee
of accessibility and of a view which
can never be eliminated or even restricted.
'Wo will leave the name of Westover
Terraces Just as it is and will not
engage in the construction of homes
for sale though we will finance home
building propositions. We usually or
ganize a local holding company to
handle the respective properties, with
myself as president. We have consulted
between 20 and 25 Portland realty men
of prominence and they have all
assured us of tlreir hearty co-opera
tion.
Our investments do not depend upon
sentiment at all. We are out to make
the money, not .to show favoritism, and
the fact that we have decided to in
vest so heavily In Portland is an ex
treme compliment to vour city.
Whether or not we make additional In
vestments in Portland depends entirely
upon Portland. Before making this
step we have studied Portland from
every fundamental angle, having gone
over the wholesale and retail situations
and the labor situation."
"This transaction means that West-

Frederick H. Strong, manager of the
Ladd Estate Company, last night. "We
know we are dealing with substantial
men who handle real estate on merit.
They deal in property after the fashion
pursued by bankers and merchants, not
as boomens. and their investment in
Portland serves to prove the wisdom of
our recent move in placing the Ladd
properties on a merchandise basis. My
talks with these visitors during the
past two or three days have been most
encouraging from the standpoint of
Portland."
Mr. Strong, together with F. N. Clark,
attended the last convention of the Na
tional Association in New Orleans, and
at that time became acquainted wl.h

"The Judgment of these visitors vin

have ever said about Westover Ter
races," said W. H. Lewis, president of
the Lewis-Wiley Hydraulic Company
and the man most. directly responsible
for the success of the gigantic under
taking which made the hillside resi
dential property a reality. "This in
dorsement from the best real estat
men of the country not only backs up
my judgment but notifies the world
that Portland real estate is all right.'
F. N. Clark, who is entitled to th
major share of praise for winning th

whom are millionaires, would not give

that the entire deal is a Realty Board

The system of sheerboards used to

watched intently by all of the people
of Portland, many of whom passed
unfavorable comment on the progress
of the work, especially during slides

at war with that nation Is not due to

Public sentiment Is against war. and
the Woman's party reflects the public

Mrs. Kent considers Judge Hughes a
great lover of peace, his business while
on the bench being to bring about
peaceful solutions of great struggles.
She feels that a vote against Wilson
and a vote for Hughes is not Incom

h. als believes the sentiments for
peace will be strengthened by the
Xational Woman's party vote.
It Is the Man. Not 1'irtT.
"The members of the Woman's

only idealists in this campaign. ve

negative Rtand. It is a positive stand
for the great principles of human lib

stand how it works. We want our
votes to count, and so we must under
stand the power of the Administra

"The Democrats controlled the leg
islation of the last Congress. They
could have given justice to women.
They didn't. Women in protest must
oppose the continuation of Democratic

It is believed that owing to the fact

In the construction of the first 1500
miles of road, if built along American
lines of railroad engineering, there will
be needed at least 4.200.000 cross-ties
