A unit of 93 casuals from Newport News will reach Portland at 3:30 to morrow afternoon and arrangements have been completed to entertain these men during their stay of 30 minutes in the city.

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. Totals by districts follow: District Quota.

The Portland chapter of the American Institute of Banking Is planning to bring the 1920 convention of that so- ciety to Portland. This was decided at the annual meeting of the chapter at which officers were elected. With local membership of 300 and growing social activities, the membership feels . that it would be doing something worth while to attract the visit of the rep resentatives fro mall over the United States next year.

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 ter in Milan, Mich., who have written to Inquire about the property, but as they failed to answer his last letter, Butler states that he expects them to coma CHEHALIS. Wash.. May 25. (Spe claL) Republicans of the state of Washington, almost without exception. give unqualified approval, to tne pro posal that the United States senate pro ceed with ratification of the league of nations covenant, and answer nega 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 halis, chairman cf the league to en 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 tney Today, 3 P. M.

Standing amid the glorios of the royal past of France, in the park at Versailles, an American doughboy burst Into this apostrophe: "Say, pal, where do you get eats around these diggin'sl" American fighting men In leave par ties led by trained guides from the Paris headquarters of the Young Men's Christian association wor work council may be sern everywhere In Paris and 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."

"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.

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.

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.
