Smallet Bodies Show Willingness to
Give More, Though Qnotas
Already Oversubscribed.
Twenty-flva million dollars remained
to be raised Saturday night of the $105,
000.000 Methodist centenary fund. The
national total reported to Portland was
$79,206,000. while the northwest had
contributed $1,794,216, or 73 per cent of
its quota.
That northwest Methodism may make
the campaign a succeses instead of a
failure, Frank C. Jackson, campaign
director, appealed yesterday to every
one of the 192 churches which had
completed their quotas to raise an ad
ditional 20 per cent of their subscrip
tions today. Within 30 minutes tne
First church of Vancouver, Wash., one
of the 'Initial churches to complete its
quota, and which has now reported
$20,000 and a $15,000 quota, came back
with a wire: "We'll do It." Rev. A. A.
Thompson Is the pastor who made the
pledge.
A few minutes later. Rev. A. A, Heist
of Astoria, telegraphed tersely: "No
organization necessary. We'll do it."
Astoria has already raised $18,835 on a
quota of $13,935. Then the little church
at Ostrander dashed In with a report
that it, too, joined In the "we'll add 20
per cent" game. Ostrander has already
reported $4i55 on a quota of $4060.
The Portland district lacked last
night $36,000 of attaining its quota,
but this deficiency would have been
far greater but for the fact that a large
number of the smaller Portland
churches have gone nearly $30,000 In
advance of their quotas.
The churches In Portland which, up
to the present, have failed to make
their quotas are: Centenary, First
Methodist church, Laurelwood, Lents,
Montavllla, Patton, Sellwood and Sun
nyside. The small Norwegian Danish
church of Portland, with but 40 mem
bers, raised yesterday $2500, an aver
age of $62.50 per member.

ciety to Portland. This was decided at
the annual meeting of the chapter at

war hero, pronounced by Marshal Foch
and publicly acclaimed as "the greatest
of all," had a memorable day In the
national capital.
Freeh from his reception yesterday
in New Tork and escorted by Repre
sentative Hull of his native state and
delegation of admiring townsmen
from Pall Mall, Tork visited the war
department, where he met Secretary
Baker; the White House, where he met
Secretary Tumulty, and later the
Capitol.
America owes you a debt of grati
tude," said Secretary Tumulty to Ser
geant York, who modestly declined to
recount his exploits and sat- off In a
corner of Mr. Tumulty's office while
Representative Hull did the talking.
York said on leaving the White
House that he would return to Camp
Merritt tomorrow to receive his discharge.
"Then I'll go home and see mother."
"You are a brave man. I congratu
late you," Secretary Baker told him.
Sergeant York received the congres

Relatives In Michigan of Late W. Li.
Quackenbaus- Are Expected to
Contest Action.
Ben Butler, barber, of 90 East Twen
tieth street, is preparing to make for
mal claim to the estate of his late
neighbor and friend, W. L. Quacken
baus. who recently died at the Good
Samaritan hospital after he is alleged
to have made a statement asking that
his property be given to Butler. At
torney George A. Harr has been re
tained by Butler to represent him In
the courts.
Butler stated yesterday that he be
lieved the estate to be worth between
$20,000 and $25,000, most of which con
sists of real estate and mining stock at
Colorado Springs, Col. Among the per
sonal effects left by Quackenbaus were
deposit books showing accounts in
three banks In Colorado Springs as
well as deposits in the Citizens' Na
tional bank or Portland.
Quackenbaus was a watchman on the
docks and has lived in Portland for
more than four years and at 120 East
Twentieth street for two years. He is
said to have told a friend that he re
ceived a check l .onthly as dividends on
his mining stock. Mr. Butler has in
his possession already several deeds to
Colorado real estate that belonged to
Quackenbaus. .
Butler asserts that three or four per
sons were present at the death of
Quackenbaus and heard him declare his
gift of his estate to Butler. The name
of one of these witnesses Is Charles
Dahlke of Arlington, Or., who occupied
the cot next to Quackenbaus in the
hospital. Butler has not' learned the
names of the other witnesses.
Quackenbaus has a brother and sis

tively Senator Borah's recent assertion
that a majority of the people in the
west are opposed to the league and its
Indorsement.
That Washington republicans demand
ratification of the league covenant has
been proved by N. B. Coffman of Che

force peace, who has conducted a wide
Inquiry and who has advised Will 11.
Hayes, chairman of the republican na
tional committee, Washington. D. C of
the strongly favorable party sentiment
for the league. In a recent message to
Chairman Hayes he reported:
"Reports gathered from republicans
In every part of the state from most
trustworthy sources Indicate over
whelming sentiment for ratification of
the league covenant. We fear for the
party If republican senators and party
leaders commit us to an attitude of
opposition."
National Chairman Advised.
In a letter which followed the tele
gram, Mr. Coffman gave to Chairman
Hayes in detail the findings of his can
vass of state republican sentiment and
emphatically declared that Senator
Borah is mistaken in his recent state
ment that westerners are in majority
opposition to the ratification of the
covenant-
In order to feel out public senti
ment in this state," wrote Mr. Coff
man, "I addressed a letter to many lead
ing citizens throughout the state, most
ly republicans, asking them to obtain
for me an expression of local public
sentiment on the league of nations
Question. The replies, judged by the
standing of the writers and the many
localities from which they were re
ceived. can be accepted as compre
hensive of the public opinion of tha
state.
"These replies uniformly testify that
the rank and file of the voters in the
state are. to a large majority, in favor
of a league of nations and ratification
by the United States senate of the
amended league covenant.
Party Future In Balance.
"Many of the replies express the deep
deep concern of the writers for the
future of the republican party In case
opposition to the league Is adopted as
a party policy. They fear for the party
if republican senators oppose the rat
ification of the revised covenant and
commit the party as a whole to their
attitude.
"In this state the question of a league
of nations is regarded as the para
mount issue now before the world. Its
Importance Is ranked as being so great
as to place it above and outside parti
san politics. Party affiliations will be
relinquished without hesitation if they
are found to be at cross purposes with
an issue so vital as that of the league
of nations."
In his letter to Chairman Hayes the
many affirmative votes taken at pub
11c meetings In this state, the endorse
ment by societies and associations and
the unbroken support of the press were
cited by Mr. Coffman.
Plain People for League.
"The plain people of the party look
to the league of nations to yield some
fruits of victory," warned Mr. cort
man. "They will not bo committed to
the eatfng of soajr grapes just because
the formation of the league has been
largely directed by President ilson.
Here are a few of the comments re
ceived in response to the inquiry con
cernlnsr ratification of the covenant
written by representative citir.ens of
the larger communities of the state:
"I suggest that the most effective
way to aid would be to 'point out to re
publicans generally that the sentiment
of the country is overwne:mingiy in
favor of the league and that the present
covenant is more republican than dem
ocratic
"The strong position for the republl
cans to take Is that in its amended form
the league covenant Is safe for the
United States to sign and that It has
been made so through the determined
effort of republican senators."
"The position we should take with
respect to the proposed covenant Is to
support it as energetically as we can.
as it now stands."
Ckangrs In Covenant Please.
"I am able to report positively that
If a vote were taken in Pierce county
the present plan for a league of nations
would carry, 10 to 1."
"I think that the changes In the pro
posed covenant of the league of nations
have brought about a marked change of
attitude toward the document and that
Senators Borah and Polndexter in their
persistent opposition are drifting away
from the popular view rather than to
ward it."
"I wonder to what extent Senator
Polndexter has been made to feel the
disapproval of his constituents?"
The tenor of the entire mass of re
plies is similar to those quoted. So

The grand climax of the track and
field season in Oregon will be the Pa
cific Northwest Athletic association

June 14. George Phllbrook, coach and
manager of the winged M team, is
handling the arrangements of the meet

dent of Multnomah Amateur Athletic

Athletes of Multnomah club are train
ing hard for the meet and on each warm

sprinting around the club oval. Coach
Phllbrook Is figuring on several ad
ditions to the club team before the
date of. the meet, which will greatly
strengthen the already formidable squad.
Arthur Tuck of Redmond will com
pete in the meet under the Multnomah
club colors and will be the biggest in
dividual attraction of the day. Ralph
Spearow, holder of the Pacific coast
pole vault record, will attempt to set
new world's mark and is getting in
the best of condition.
Phiibrook Is endeavoring to get the
Olympic club of San Francisco to enter
a team, which would add a good deal of
flavor to the gathering. Oregon Agri
culture college and the University of
Oregon are being asked to enter teams.
Floyd "Mose" Tayne will likely be the
only athlete from Oregon that will get
the opportunity to compete in the inter
allied games just outside of Paris next

tary of the A. A. U., yesterday, saying
that Payne had been selected and if he

PARTS. Standing amid the glorios
of the royal past of France, in the park
at Versailles, an American doughboy
burst Into this apostrophe:

around these diggin'sl"
American fighting men In leave par

Paris headquarters of the Young Men's
Christian association wor work council

its environs, enjoying the monuments
of the old regime and of the empire in
a truly American fashion, which does
not prevent the association of th great
palace of Louis XIV and "chow."
"Looks like a decayed church." was
the deliberate estimate of another boy
in khaki as he stood before the Hotel
des Invalidcs. Then he went inside and
became enthusiastic over the marble
railing about the tomb of Napoleon
because It was so "white" and hadn't
a flaw.
One of them emerged from the In
valides and grew poetic about the yel
low light coming through the stained
glass windows above Napoleon's casket.
Then he caught himself, and almost
blushed. In the next breath he called
the Court des Invalldes the "souvenir
piylor of the armies of France." When
he saw Guymer's airplane and learned
what it was, he maintained a reverent
silence of more than a minute before
he began to determine Its "make."
Perhaps the reactions from Versailles
are the most Illuminating.

doughboy cast his eye appraislngly
down the vista of the park.

Best of all, apparently, the soldiers

Seine watching the river traffic.
The one-fourth size Statue of Liberty

"Huh." said one of the critics. "It
don't look as good as the old girl will
when we steam into New York harbor."
INDIAN RITES IMPRESSIVE
Body of Christ, Taken From Cross,
Carried in Procession.
ST. IGNATIUS, Mont. One of
the
an
the an -
most impressive and picturesque
nual ceremonies to be seen in
United States takes place at the
cient mission church of the Roman
Catholics here every Good Friday eve
ning, when all the members of the
church, including Indians, take part in
a beautiful service which is seldom if
ever carried out in any other, part of
the country. .
After a short mass in the church,
which is beautifully decorated with
flowers and evergreens, the body of
Christ is taken from the cross and car
ried out of doors. There it is borne
between two rows of camp fires built
for a half mile in and out among the

MAYFLOWER HAD LIQUOR
Historian Says Supply Kan Out Be
fore Plymouth Rock Reached.
SANDTJS KT, O. The Pilgrim Fath
ers were not prohibitionists despite a
popular opinion to the contrary, ac
cording to Attorney Hewson L. Peeke,
who is writing a history of the prohi
bition movement for former Governor
J. Frank Hanley of Indiana.
Attorney Peeke says he will prove
that the Pilgrim Fathers had booze
aboard the Mayflower up to a short
time before they landed on Plymouth
Rock, and that the reason that they
didn't have any when they arrived was
that the supply had "run out."
Furthermore, Attorney Peeke saya
he will back up his assertions with
documentary evidence.
Attorney Peeke has been one of the
pillars of the prohibition party In Ohio
for many years. For more than a
quarter of a century he has been en
gaged in research work and has a fund
of information on the prohibition ques
tion from which to draw.
The hsltorian says that the supposi
tion prevailing that the clergy of New
England was dry is unfounded.
He claims he has the word of re
sponsible writers of early days to prove
his contentions that the ministers of
pioneer New England not only drank
his liquor, but that all the bis religious
affairs of those times were recorded
aa having been concluded with drink
lng festivities.

BELLRINGERS ARE SCARCE
81 -Year-Old Veteran of St. Paul's
Ran? Chimes Four Hours.
LONDON. The Joy bells of London
111 soon be ringing for peace. From
hundred towers we shall hear their
melody
"The swinging and the ringing
of the bells, bells, bells
in a paean of joy.
But could all the belfries of London
ring in unison? Are there enough ring
ers to keep all the peals going at
once ?
K. Horrex. the octogenarian ringer of
St. Paul's cathedral, doubts it, and
thinks that bands of ringers will have"
to go from belfry to belfry if all the
peals are to ring.
"Sunday by Sunday for 41 years I
have rung the bells of St. Paul's." Said
Mr. Horrex. He has been a ringer since
he was IS and though now In his S2d
year he is still tall and upright, keen
and active. On armistice day he was
ringing for four hours and rive min
utes. Over 20 years ago he rang 11.111
changes in 7 hours 35 minutes.
To encourage decorations during
peace festivities prizes are to be of
fered for best decorated bouses.
