t"nles nmfthins i" done to revive
interest in the cauae of religion, the
MMhcxiijit Kplscopal church la des
tined to suffer a loss of more than
pi.0 cf ta active members, was the
prediction made by fliahop Mattnew
Huirhes here today In his address for
mally opening the sessions of the (th
annual Oregon conference of the de
nomination. "While I do not believe that the
situation now confronting the church
is permanent. said Mr. Hughes. lt
is nevertheless alarming and is a mat.
trr which should have our closest at
. trntion. Before us is a great risk. It
is essential forjthe life of the rliurch
that we bring in more members.
"Each church should put forth its
strongest efforts to increase its at.
tendance if the Methodist Kpiscopal
denomination Is to maintain its stand
ard and perpetuate its growth. In the
coming six months there should' be
an Increase In members o? 25 per
cent, and It is up to the individual
member of the church, and not to the
pastors alone, to see that this goal Is
reached. There should be no half
way point. The church faces a crisis
and the sooner we all realize our re
sponsibilities the better It will be for
all concerned."
In explaining the causes for de
creased membership. Hlshup Hughes
dealt particularly on the war. which,
he said, had detracted front the activ
ities of the church.
I'ssaei Are Reriewri.
"Methodists, like the people of all
other denominations, rallied to the
support of the government during the
struggle." said Bishop Hughes, "and
while we were giving our attention
and co-operation to patriotic activi
ties we wholly forgot the debt we
owed to the church. The influenza
epidemic, which claimed its thousands
in all parts of the L'nited States, also
was a factor which contributed ma
terially to' the declining membership."
Bishop Hughes spoke confidently of
the great centenary movement which
enriched the treasury of the church
by more than SIC8.000.000. Half of
this sum and possibly more, he said,
would be spent in evangelising the
l'nited States, while the remaining
sum would be expended abroad.
The report of the Eugene district
was submitted by Dr. James Moore
and showed that In the face of the
fact that SO per cent of the church
membership had left during the past
ear for the large Industrial centers,'
all benevolents were raised and the
church had fulfilled Ita part in the
centenary work.
Ir. D. H. Leech. In reporting the
work of the Eugene church, said his
congregation had paid off 128.000 of
its debts and had contributed $25,000
to benevolents. The membership of
the Eugene church, he said, bad no
reached the 1000 mark.

total registration of students in the
college, far exceeding tne enrollment
of any previous yea:.
With a total of 1422 new students,
all but 24 are registered for regular
degree courses, these few taking
vocational training. Many of them
are completing their academic require
ments before being eligible for degree
work.
Worthy of praise is the spirit of
the new students, a large percentage
of wnom were considerably Incon
venienced by the lack of accommo
dations. All of the difficulties have
been appreciated by the old and new
students alike, and work and college
life is already working out harmo
niously. .Many of the students who
have returned from service in the
army and navy are resuming their
college work after an abseace of
two or three years, and the student
body is correspondingly made up of
older and more mature men. This 1
true alike of the women.
Divided according to the schools in
which students have enrolled, the
latest reports are as follows:

pharmacy. 141: vocational. 248: op
tional. 48: music, 14. The numbers
are still Increasing and now there are

Talks at Portland Hotel..
That Portland is far behind othe
cities so far as hospital facilities are
concerned was brought out yesterday
at a luncheon for the general com
mittee of the Emanuel Hospital asso
ciation at the Portland hotel. The
affair was the first of a series of get-
together meetings for committee
workers on the forthcoming drive to
raise $350,000 for the proposed new
structure.

Watts. W. F. Woodward. F. F. Bell,
Judge George Stapleton. Dr. J. Earl
Else and Dr. Robert H. Ellis for ad
dresses.
Mayor Baker called attention to in
adequate facilities for handling the
sick, a condition revealed during the
influensa epidemic last winter and de
clared that the proposed hospital is
worthy of the support of anyone in
Portland.
"As mayor of the city." he said. "I
find no reason for not indorsing it. I
have investigated ail sorts of move
ments, but none have ever received
heartier approval from me. No hospi
tal in the city needs this support so
badly.
The advantages of Portland as a
center for the medical profession was
pointed out by Mr. Woodward. He
declared that the appeal for funds Is
not for money or profit, but for the
greatest good of the city.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1. Senate and
house conferees reached an agree
ment late today on the prohibition
enforcement bilL breaking a three
weeks' deadlock.
Quick approval of the conferees' re
port is expected by leaders and the
measure may go to the president
early next ween.
The bill, which establishes one-half
pf 1 per cent as the maximum alco
holic content of beverages, was passed
by the house July 22 and by the sen
ate September 5. The conference re
port will be acted on first by the
senate, to which it would report Fri
day, and then be sent to the house.
The bill will be returned from con
ference without fundamental changes
in Its plan for strict enforcement, both
of the wartime prohibition law and
the constitutional amendments by the
commissioner of internal revenue and
department of justice.
Aaaeadmeat la Approve.
The senate conferees, however, suc
ceeded in retaining virtually every
one of the 286 liberalising provisions
adopted by the upper house, which
comprise mostly administrative fea
tures. The principal "liberal" amend
ment of the senate permitting home
manufacture and consumption of cider
and light wines was approved as well
as another senate amendment extend
ing application of the constitutional
amendment to the Panama canal zone.
In the principal conference dispute
over imposition of the "burden of
proof" in prosecutions, the senate
managers were successful, for the bill
as agreed on provides 'that the gov
ernment must bear the "burden- of
proof" and prove its case in prosecut
ing those selling beverages by show
ing that the beverages concerned con
tained more than fhe alcoholic limit
of one-half of 1 per cent. Manufac
turers, however, as provided both by
the house and senate bills must bear
the burden of proof that their prod
ucts contained alcohol only within the
amount prescribed.
No change was made by the con
ferees in the provision which would
allow a man to have and consume In
his own home liquor acquired before
the law goes into effect.
Examination Clause Stricken.
Other senate amendments accepted
included1 that striking out the clause
penalizing drunkenness on trams.
street cars, automobiles, ferries or
other public conveyances and the pro
vision prohibiting general public in
spection of the records of sales and
purchases filed with the internal rev
enue commissioner.
The conferees struck out the house
amendment requiringTphysical exam
ination by physicians of patients be
fore issuance of prescriptions lor in
toxicating beverages..
For expenses in enforcing the -bill
the conferees, reduced the senate ap
propriation of $3,500,000 to $2,000,000.
The senate amendment auinorizing
manufacture and sale of "near beer"
and similar malt beverages contain
ing under one-half of 1 per cent alco
hol was retained, but it is stipulated
that other names shall be used for
their designation than beer, aie or
porter
In adopting tne provision promot
ing advertisement of intoxicants or
formulas or contrivances for their
manufacture, the conferees approved
the senate amendment authorising
commercial alcohol compounds in
trade journals.

TAILORS' PROBLEM LOCAL
STRIKING JOIKXEYMEX WANT
SETTLEMENT MADE HERE.
Employers Propose San Francisco
Conference Both Sides Will
Meet Again Today.
Shall the striking joprneymeh tailors
of Portland and the employers settle
their differences locally, or shall they
settle them in conjunction with the
other tailors' unions and the other
employing tailors of the Pacific coast
cities? This is the problem which is'
standing in the way of -a settlement
of the local conflict and which prom
ises to prolong the strike further.
The local union favors settling the
strike locally and is strongly opposed
to going into any conference in which
unions and employers' associations of
the other Pacific coast cities take
part. The officers of the union de
clare that the Portland local is not
affiliated with any Pacific coast or
ganization and that the demands be
ing made by the Seattle and San
Francisco union tailors are not simi
lar to the local demands, these other
unions asking higher wage scales.
The merchant tailors here, on the
other hand, contend that the matter
should be settled by a conference in
San Francisco at which representa
tives from all the unions and all the
employers' associations on the coast
be present. This proposition was em
bodied in the recent compromise which
the employers' association here pre
sented to the union.
A meeting of the union men was
held yesterday evening to consi
the proposal of the employers,
the officers of the union were au
thorized to meet with the merchant
tailors at a conference this morning
further to consider the offer.
