DAY OF REST INDORSED
One Day in Seven Declared "In-
alienable Right" of Every Man
and Woman Change of
Name Is Proposed Again.
6T. LOUIS, Oct. 23. Jews who have
accepted Jesus Christ as the Messiah
and have become communicants of the
Protestant Episcopal Church may re
tain, if they desire, the Jewish national
and racial customs and feasts, according-
to a ruling- of the house of deputies
of the church's general convention in
session here today.
The action was based on a resolution
which had been presented by the Rev.
Floyd "W. Tompkins, of Philadelphia.
It was asserted that there are in the
United States hundreds of Jews who
have accepted Christ and yet have hesi
tated to affiliate with Christian denom
inations because they do not care to
abandon their racial customs.
. Effort to Spat Women Falls.
Kfforts to have women permitted to
Bit as delegates in the house of deputies
of the general convention .were aban
doned today, when, on the heels of a
rejection at the hands of the house of
bishops, a lower house committee re
ported the proposal adversely.
The house of deputies refused to
adopt the recommendation of a special
committee proposing the present system
of equal diocesan representation in the
house of deputies be changed to one
of proportionate representation. Sev
eral hours of debate preceded the vote,
.which. In the clerical order, was 66 to
12, -with five dioceses divided, and in
the lay order, 49 to 10 H. with four
dioceses divided.
' Wealthier Churches Feared.
Fears were expressed by representa
tives of some of the smaller dioceses
that the proposed amendments would
throw the balance of power to the
larger and wealthier church bodies.
- The house of bishops, as a result of
an action taken In the house of depu
ties today, will elect a suffragan bishop
for the missionary district of South
Dakota, in addition to a bishop to suc
ceed the late Bishop George Biller, Jr.
The lower house refused to concur
with the house of bishops in its action
giving a seat and vote in the upper
house to suffragan bishops. Concurrent
action is necessary. At present suffra
gans have a seat, but no vote.
Day's Rest In Seven Held Right.
Both hoiises in the convention went
on record .today as believing- that one
day's rest in seven is the inalienable
right of every man ad woman.
Employers of the United States
should give a larger consideration to
the problem of the "unemployable,"
Rev. Ernest M. Stires. of New Tork,
said in an address in the social service
forum today. Mr. Stires distinguished
between the unemployed and the unem
ployable, those who would work but are
incapacitated by physical or mental in
firmities. He urged that Christians
throughout the country follow the lead
of the Morgan Memorial of Boston and
the Good Will industries of Brooklyn
in saving the self-respect of the unem
ployable by giving them daily three or
four hours' work such as they can do,
despite blindness, deafness, crippled
condition or other infirmities.
"There are in New Tork today 100,000
unemployable men men unfitted for
the battle of life, he said. "It is essen
attempt to solve their problem and save

. Ident of the board of missions, the most
important ooara 01 cue cnurca, was con-
firmed in the house of deputies today.
He previously had been re-elected by
the house of bishops.
A step looking toward the eventual
change of the name of the church "to
make it more nearly in accord with its
: apostolic origin was proposed in a
resolution offered in the house of dep
lin. Pa. This resolution, which was
referred to the committee on prayer
books, would substitute the words, of
the Holy Catholic Church" on the title
page of the prayer book for the words
"of the church." However, leaders in the
convention assertea mat since me
church is named in its constitution "the
Protestant Episcopal Church in the
United States of America." the proposed
' substitution can have no effect on the

Search for Missing Man Prisoner
Said to Have Left Indiana
Tender ' Clond.
LOS ANGELES. Oct. 23. Shaken by
the finding of evidence that a portion
of his confession made on Saturday to
the District Attorney waa untrue. Ben
ton L Barrett, aged and well-to-do
rancher, wavered In his cell In the
county Jail tonight, and sent for Dis
trict Attorney Woolwine to recount in
different detail that part of the con
fession of the double killing of nis
wife. Irene, and her son. Raymond
Wright, which the police today proved
to be untrue.
On Saturday Barrett said he naa
killed the pair in the yard at the rear
of his house. By use of police dogs to
day, detectives were led to stalls in
the barn on the ranch and there un
covered Mrs. Barrett's comb, matted
with blood and hair. Evidences of the
struggle In the barn proved to the po
lice this portion of the self-confessed
murderer's story was untrue. After be-
iner Questioned by detectives and tne
Assistant District Attorney in charge
of the case, Barrett asked to be per
mitted to change his original state
ment and now confessed, it is alleged,
he did the killing in the barn, but
maintained it was after he had been
attacked.
The District Attorney questioned
Barrett and pointed to the fact it would
have been impossible to cremate two
bodies of such size with so small a
fire, and Barrett answered: "If my story
is false, where are the bodies?"
New evidence led the county s chief
prosecuting officer to hold the opinion
that Barrett had an accomplice In the
disposal of the bodies, if not in the
actual commission of the crime. Search
has been instituted for a man under
suspicion and known to be missing. No
complaint has been issued, but the Dis
trict Attorney wants to Know where
the man was on the day of the crime.
The District Attorney says he dis
covered that when Barrett left Indi
ana he did so under a cloud, that he
was an official of an insurance com
pany there and was wanted in connec
tion with some suspicious arson cases.
Indiana authorities have been .sked to
give the police here details regarding
Barrett.

Lecture Really Pleasing;.
That's the fascination of it alL I've
sat through every blessed lecture and
you'd have to hog-tle me to get me
away once that slender girlish golden
throated swayer and persuader gets
started from the platform.
Sunday was a. day of rest and the
kind, lovely souls who constituted the
reception committee in La Grande saw
to. it that we lived up to the day.
We were taken Jor a ride all over the
wonaer country around the city. Way
high on the purpling hills we rode and
saw the beautiful Grand Ronde Valley
stretched golden with grain and col
orful Autumn tints for miles. Below
us between the foothills of the moun
tains the view was truly inspirational
and Its influence made Mrs. Hanley an
Incarnate spirit of Joy and purpose
and unquenchable tire in her lecture.
A damson Law Assailed.
She chose last night to touch on the
Adamson law because this place is a
division point, and the Underwood tar
iff because it is a center of lumber
interests, and because the valley around
here is of farm lands she drove home
hard truths about the protective tariff.
"You folks here in La Grande have
a perfect right to understand the per
nicious effects of the Underwood tar
iff." she said. "The lumber indus
tries of the Pacific Coast He prostrate
There is no hope, for modification un
der Democratic rule. The farmlmj sec
i tion should be up in arms with the
injustice of having to bear the burden
of the added rates incurred In the pas
sage of the Adamson law. for, as usual,
the farmer is the goat.
Railroad Hen ot Deceived.
"I am perfectly sure that repre
sentative railroad men are not de
ceived. The clever way in which they
put one over on Woodrow showed they
know their man. They know, too.
that if capital could throw a good
scare into him that Woodrow would)
take another flop."
Mrs. Hanley has numberless friends
among railroad men and has made a
lot more on this trip, for one upends
a lot of time on trains when he travels
miles and miles to reach this great
beautiful fertile country.
"We understand each other my rail
road friends and me," says Mrs. Hanley.
"They don't trust Mr. Wilson, for if
force in one direction could move him
one way, then force applied from an
other quarter could move him back
again. He has laid himself open to this
distrust and suspicion on both sides.
Capital and labor depend on each other.
Harmonious co-operation, with respect
for each other's rights, with mutual
confidence is the only possible chance
for the life of both.
Stories Cleverly Told.
"The only stable reforms of labor and
protection ' as to remuneration and
hours have been brought about under
Republican Administration," continued
Mrs. Hanley. "The trainmen know this
and understand It, and they are going
to take all they can get from the pres
ent Administration and get away while
the going is good, because they know
that he is likely to reverse himself and
back downhill again."
Mrs. Hanley tells stories so cleverly
that her audiences smile Joyously in
anticipation of something they know
will be worth while and told with posi
tive dramatic genius whenever she says
that reminds me of a story." She told
a dozen last night and one that made an
especial humorous hit is about a man
who came rushing into a big restaurant
at a seaport town and found every seat
taken and the tables all filled. So with
great presence of mind he shouted:
There s a great big whale Just come
in on the beach," and because no one
there had ever seen a whale they all
Jumped up and ran out to see it. The
dining-room was deserted and the man
stood and watched the crowd growing
larger and larger. Finally he grabbed
his hat and rushed along also, saying:
Darned if I don t believe a whale did
come in."
Mrs. Hanley says that's the way with
the Democratic party. '"They've told
themselves so many big whale stories
they believe 'em themselves."
Mexican Shaft Draws Applaluac.
She caused a great uproar and wild
est applause when she recounted the
devious ways and means of Wilson's
proceedure in the Mexican war, and
said: "Why. if Wilson had really
wanted .Villa he could have sent Buf
falo Vernon, of Pendleton, and had
him in 10 days." And the crowd fairly
whooped.
Mrs. Hanley said: "The Democratic
party centered in the solid South has
been opposed to every progressive is
sue before the American people from
tne suffrage amendment through the
direct election of Senators, to the ini
tiative, referendum and recall. The
child labor law as passed by the Demo
cratic Congress Is a specious and
Ineffectual measure; Ineffectual be
cause It does not provide on ade
quate means for enforcement. It
is still a question whether or not it can
be constitutionally ratified by the sepa
rate states. It was rushed through at
the last minute after violent opposi
tion by three-fourths of the prominent
Democrats. Wilson himself went to
the Senate and told them that it would
be suicidal to turn it down in the face
of the coming election. Can we hope
for adequate application of such a
measure, used, not for the benefit of
children, but for the exploitation of
Democratic doctrines."
One-Term Plank to Be Enforced.
She caused hilarity when she opened
with "the Democrats have repudiated
every plank in the platform they
elected Woodrow Wilson on, but there's
one plank we are going to make them
keep and that is the one-term plank."
Mrs. Hanley was accorded a demon
stration when she said: "I have come
from Medford. more than 700 miles, to
bring to you the good word that the
hosts of Republicans. Progressives and
intelligent independents all over the
state are lined up for Hughes.'
Mrs. Bert Anderson's singing of cam
paign parodies set to patriotic airs were
one of the most interesting features of
the programme. Mrs. Hanley was in
troduced by Mrs. A. E. Ivanhoe, County
School Superintendent, and Clarke
Leiter spoke briefly. A reception was
held after the meeting at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Colon R. Eberhard. Mr.
Eberhard is the secretary of the lqcal
Hughes Alliance. .
Others on the reception committee
were Judge and Mrs. J. C. Henry, Mr.
and Mrs. Ray Logan, Mr. and Mrs.

Villa, led the Carranza vanguard under
General Carlos Ozuna into an ambush
between Santa Tsabel and San Andres,
on the western division of the Mexican
Nofthwestern Railway Friday, a re
port received by Mexican government
agents here today said. '
According to this report, which was
obtained by secret service agents for
the Federal department. Villa retreated
from a position outside of San An
dres. 40 miles on the railroad west of
Chihuahua City toward San Andres.
This led the Carranza vanguard into the
trap which Villa is said to have set for
them, the government report said. The
bandits, who were hidden in the rocky
defiles along the railroad, poured a
heavy fire into the Carranza troops
from behind rocks. The same source of
information claims to have confirma
tion of the report that the Carranza
troops then retired to Santa Ysabel,
thence to Palomas, and are in Fresno,
the first station west of Chihuahua
City.
Carranza officials here admit that
there has been heavy fighting between
Santa Ysabel and Chihuahua City, but
General Gonzales, In Juarez, insists that
he has received no details of the fight

had been killed is receiving credence
