FULL VINDICATION SOUGHT ccuser of Former Portland Pastor Says Statements Have Been Re tracted In Part Husband and Wife Live Happily. SALEM. Or., July (Special.) Mrs. Harry McCain, whose hubsand has filed charges of lying, defamation of charac ter and violation of law with, the ec clestical tribunal of the Methodist Church at Portland, against the Rev. Clarence True Wilson, today declared that the Rev. Mr. Wilson had done all that was in his power to do to cans) her to secure a divorce from Mr. Mc Cain. Through letters from the Rev. Mr. Wilson to Mrs. McCain, she stated, alle gations had come which almost shat tered her faith in her husband and nearly disrupted their home. "I have no hesitancy in saying- that the Rev. Mr. Wilson wrote letters to me against Mr. McCain, and these let ters were written to cause me to se cure a divorce from jny husband. "What these charges were I will not ay. But they almost caused us to be estranged. I wish to state, however, that I have never made any charges against my husband myself. As Mr. McCain has stated, I am 'with him heart and souL i "Whatever charges have been made against Mr. McCain's character were made by the Rev. Mr. Wilson and not by me." No Reasons Are Assigned. Mrs. McCain did not state what rea sons actuated the Rev. Mr. Wilson to launch his alleged attacks against her husband. As to the specific nature of the charges Included in the letters, and as to the contents of the letters them selves, both Mr. and Mrs. McCain main tained silence today. "It had been my intention not to bring these letters Into the matter," said Mr. McCain, when further ques tioned today as to the trouble which has been brewing In Methodist Church circles. "They are personal In their nature and I have no desire to have my wife's name brought into this con troversy, but I see it has been. It was my purpose not to even bring the let ters up at the hearing which will start tomorrow the ecclesiastical tribunal in Portland. At least I had no Intention of doing so unless they were needed In rebuttal, and what charges Mr. Wil son has made against me I intend to keep to myself, until "the time of the hearing. Mr. McCain Files Charges. "If Mr. Wilson made the statement, which he is quoted as making, that the charges filed in the church were filed at his request, he la stating an un truth. He had nothing to do with filing these charges. I am filing them myself, to vindicate myself of allega . tions which he has made concerning myself. "The assertions which Mr. Wilson has made against me were made to members of the Oregon Conference and upon such testimony I intend to con duct my case. The letters will not ap pear unless they are needed to rebut testimony which may be given on the other side. No one in the world knew of these letters but my wife, Mr. Wilson and myself, and first knowledge of them got .abroad in Portland must have come through Mr. Wilson, directly or Indirectly. Vindication Is Songht. "As to the statements which the Rev. Mr. Wilson has made to members of the Oregon Conference about me, I wish further to say that he has retract ed them in part, but not fully, and it is to gain a complete vindication, before the conference and the church, that I am bringing the charges." Mr. and Mrs. McCain apparently are living happily together in a pretty home on North Fourteenth street, in this city, and if there ever was an estrangement between them they ap pear to be completely reconciled. Mrs. McCain today staunchly vouched for her husband's character and declared that she "Intended to sink or swim with him." "I want It distinctly understood," she said, "that I never have used terms of reproach against my husband or made charges against him which would tend to blacken his character or injure his reputation," CHURCH HEARING IS TODAY Sr. O. T. Wilson Declines to Com ment on Charges. A special committee of Methodist Episcopal ministers will sit in the Ma sonic Temple in Portland today to give a formal hearing to the charges pre ferred by Harry McCain, temperance worker and active Methodist, of Salem, against the Rev. Clarence True Wilson, of Portland, former pastor here of Grace and Centenary Methodist churches, and for the past several years National executive secretary of the Methodist Temperance Society. Mr. McCain has charged Dr. Wilson with lying, defamation of character and violation of law. Dr. Wilson has declined to make any statement in reply, declaring that he Is under strict orders from his superi ors not to discuss the case. His friends intimate, however, that some lively counter charges in his behalf will make today's hearing an especially interest ing one. The hearing will be presided over by Rev. William Wallace Youngson, dis trict superintendent of the Methodist Episcopal Church. This hearing will not be a trial. It will correspond more nearly to a grand jury hearing. After all the evidence on both sides has been presented to the tribunal, they may use their judgment in either dismissing the case or remanding it to the Methodist Conference of Oregon for trial. The conference meets in Springfield IRA C. UNDERWOOD DIES Funeral Will Be Held in Home at Maple Lane. OREGON CITY. Or, July 4.

MUSIC IDEALS HIGH Louis Graveure, Belgian Bari tone, Lauds America. DEMAND MADE FOR BEST Xoted Musician Says After War America Will Assert Her Nation ality and Insist on Composi tions In English. "Why! America Is the greatest musi cal Nation on earth." Louis Graveure, the eminent Belgian baritone, who is to oartlclpate In Port land's musical festival at the Audito rium this week, protested against the common Impression that America has no taste tor music "True." he airreed. "other Nations have produced the greatest composers and some of the greatest artists, but the real test of a Nation's musical In clinations is its support of good music. "America," he proceeded, by way of emphasizing his contention, "makes a more constant and more consistent de mand for good music than any Euro pean Nation. It has more cities that support good music. "The American public likes the best. The tradition that Americana prefer light, flighty compositions Is false." Effect of War Expected. Mr. Graveure. who is staying at the Benson Hotel, declared that the war doubtless will cause America to assert her nationality in the future rendition of operas. America will Insist on hear ing the works of foreign composers In the English tongue. "France doesn't tolerate an opera In anything but French," he explained. "Germany doesn't permit anything but the German. In Spain they demand the Spanish and in Italy the Italian. "While some of the spirit of the piece may be lost In the translation It is more than made up by giving the people something they can understand. "Only America and England continue to stand for the silly business of list ening to operas or other vocal music in a tongue that they can't understand." One immediate effect of the war. he said, will be the probable elimination of the German language from the oper atic and concert stage. They are do ing it already In many American mu sical centers. German Mnile Vpheld. "But it is absurd to eliminate the works of German composers from our musical repertoire. To do that would be to cut out the body and trunk of music Why. what would we have left were we to take away Schubert. Schu- man. Wagner and the restr Mr. Graveure brings the glad news that "the great American composer" at last has been discovered. He is Bryce son Treharne, a young man of Welsh extraction, who was interned in Ger many at the beginning of the war. He was recently exchanged with other prisoners and brought with him from his prison camp about 80 compositions which soon are to be published in- New York. The young man never had attempted any serious compositions before his internment, but while suffering In the German prisons his soul was stirred to music Verses of Lord Byron, Thomas Moore and other English an Lh.ora . Xorm . i&a vetda . vtet Mr. Graveure calls "his electrifying com positions." Mr. Graveure came to Portland di rect from New York and will go from here to Santa Monica, Cal., where he and Mrs. Graveure will pass their va cation. "Portland will find her new Audito rium a splendid investment," he com mented. "It will attract music lovers to this city who otherwise would have no excuse to come. "Your "local symphonies and festival associations ought to be encouraged by all means." FARRIN FACES CHARGES VETS TO BE Arrest Due to Persecution, Says Attorney. Strongly reiterating that he Is the unfortunate victim of a "relentless per secution" and declaring that he will quickly prove his Innocence of any charge which has been filed against him, George N. Farrin. former well known Portland attorney and at one time a candidate for Attorney-General, was brought back to Portland yester day from Montana In charge of Deputy United States Marshal Groff, of Helena. He is held to answer a Federal indict ment charging him with forging the name of Ralph Tatro to a United States Treasury Department certificate for $10. Farrin was apprehended several weeks ago at Lewiatown, Mont, after he had been arrested on a charge of defrauding an innkeeper. Both state and Federal Indictments are hanging over him in Portland and his return to this state was under the Federal In dictment. A state indictment charges him with obtaining money under false pretenses. Farrin admits signing his name to treasury certificates returned by the department of Interior when timber claim applications In Linn county, made for four men. were rejected. "But I had a legal right to indorse those certificates," said Farrin yester day as he drummed nervously at the gray-coated bar of his County Jail cell. I went even further and returned this money to these men. Including Tatro. and still have their receipts showing that I paid them this money. Farrin avers that his arrest In Mon tana was caused through the failure in business of the book concern for which he was traveling. They. were to pay his hotel bill, but refused to do . so, he alleges. During his residence here he was de fendant in sensational divorce pro ceedings started by his former wife. He says that he paid his former wife the lump sum of 17,500 In alimony and then married the woman who is Bald to have caused his. marital troubles. The present Mrs. Farrin is In San Francisco. Commander of Boys of '98 Suggests Plan. 250,000 ARE AVAILABLE U-BOAT CHASERS SUCCESS Government Has Hundreds Building and Will Construct More. WASHINGTON. July 4. Steps great ly to increase the output of submarine chasers have been taken by the navy department and in the lear future some of the small, light -sels of that type may be added to the American fleet in European waters. Now that the first of the standard ized chasers has successfully under gone her trial runs, officials are more than ever convinced that a type of great value in the fight against sub marines has been produced. Hun dreds already are under construction. and orders just Issued are expected to almost double the number which will be turned out within the next few months. To secure a sufficient number of suitable engines has been the greatest problem, . . .. , , "Flying Squadrons" to Be Supplied With Automobiles. Rifles and Machine Gnns, Ready to Re spond to Riot Calls. Spanish war veterans, almost 250, 000 have formulated nation-wide plans for home protection, in every city and state, while national guard organiza tions are at the front. Details were made publlo in Port land yesterday by T. V. Chlsholm. of Washington, D. C, Commander-in-Chief of the United Spanish War Vet erans, who, on a tour of the country, is visiting the local camp. "We propose to organize 'Flying Squadrons' among the Spanish war veterans In every city of the country," said Mr. Chlsholm yesterday. "These squadrons will use automobiles exclu sively, each machine to be manned by four men. carrying rifles, riot guns and sufficient rations for 24-hour service. "These machines will be donated to the work by patriotic people who are willing to assist their country during the period of the war. In case of trou ble of any kind which in time of peace might necessitate calling out the Na tional Guard, these 'flying squadrons will be ready for duty at a moment's notice. The men will be in uniform and hold drills twice weekly. 230.000 Veterans Available. "In a few Bhort months our 'flying squadrons' will become so well organ ized that they can easily take the place of National Guards. I believe that with in a short time 250,000 veterans of the Spanish War can be mobilized for emergency militia service." Mr. Chlsholm laid his "flying squad ron" plans before Scout Young Camp, and members eagerly asked that It be started at once. Official sanction of Governor Withycombe, as well as the city officials, will be asked at once. In Portland It Is planned to have a squadron of 75 automobiles, making a company of S00 seasoned veterans ready for any emergency.. Local veterans told Mr. Chlsholm there would be no trouble in Becuring 75 machines for this work. Machine Gnus to Be Supplied. In addition to rifles and riot guns, each squadron will be equipped with at least one machine gun and ambu lance outfit. It is proposed to have 25 machine guns to each 100,000 popula tion In the more thickly populated cities. Spanish War veterans have come for ward In a splendid manner during the present crisis, Mr. Chlsholm said. Rec ords show that 25,000 veterans of that war have already enlisted. In private life Mr. Chlsholm Is As sistant Publlo Printer at Washington, D. C. That office of the Government printed 787.000 Army drill books during the month of May alone. "I find people along the Coast and In the Middle West apparently are not as alive to the seriousness of the war as are the people farther East," said Mr. Chlsholm. "I do not believe, how ever, it is lack of patriotism, for I have found a splendid sentiment throughout the West." Firecrackers Cause Small Fire. A small fire, caused by the shooting of fireworks, was the only damage re ported to the police yesterday as a re sult of the Fourth of July celebration. The fire was in a house owned by T., Connell. 1513 East Ninth street North.
