MOVEMENT IS WORLD-WIDE
Latest Phase of Ruction Between
Church Directors and Publish
ing Trustees Set Forth.
BOSTON', Mass., March 11. The res-
tgnations presented recently to the
board of trustees of the Christian
- Science Publishing society by Will
lam P. McKenzie. editor of the Chris-
- tian Science Journal and the Chris
tian Science Sentinel; Mrs. Ella W.
Hoag, associate eaitor, and Elislia
Seeley. managing editorial secretary,
marked the end of an embarrassing
controversy that had raged for weeks
lietween the editorial force of the
, Journal and the Sentinel and which
brought world-wide cancellations of
church and private subscriptions to
the two periodicals among tne cnurcn
members.
According to a detailed account of
the occurrence published in tne bos
inn Post, with these three resigna
lions, the editorial force openly
aligned themselves with the mother
-hnrch and rne nnsnaii ow""-0
board of directors in the battle which
has been before the courts of Massa
chneertj: for derision.
The resignations, tendered to David
B. Ogden. C. S. B., secretary of the
board of trustees, came directly as a
' result of his demand that tnree lei-
; ters published in the Christian Science
Monitor on Monday, Aiarcn a. oe re
' printed in full in the Journal and
Sentinel.
i Secretary Seeley, In his letter to the
trustees, declared that he is now
"satisfied that it is no longer possible
1 for loyal Christian Scientists to go
on under the conditions of perverted
1 authority and total repudiation of the
plain Intention of the uyiaws or ine
mother church manual in connection
with publishing society affairs.
Editors Greatly Harassed.
For weeks past the editorial force
of the Journal and the Sentinel have
been in an extremely embarrassing
position. Appointed by the directors
of the church, but in their work under
the direction of the board of trustees.
they have maintained a strictly neu
tral position in the columns of the
two publications, and as Mr. McKenzie
told a Post reporter last night, have
tried to strictly adhere to the prin
ciples on which the weekly and the
monthly were established strictly
denominational publications.
Cancellation of subscriptions has
been going on among the churches
and the members of the church fol
some time past, since, by the order of
the trustees, several letters regarding
the courts controversy were printed
in the two publications last October.
The Los Angeles churches voted to
oust all periodicals. The Roxbury
church voted to discontinue their sub
scriptions, and the next morning some
of the members of the Roxbury
church connected with the publishing
house were discharged because of the
church vote. It is also understood
that the discharge included all the
Koxbury church members included In
the employes of the publishing
house. (A later statement was that
200 members of the editorial force had
been discharged by order of the. trus
tees.) Editor Balks at Dictation.
The letters which directly brought
about the resignation were printed
the same day as the full text of the
master's report of Judge Frederic
Dodge of the supreme judicial court
in the Christian Science Monitor.
Both commented on the report, one
being signed by the Christian Science
board of directors and the other by
Secretary Ogden of the trustees. Edi
tor McKenzle declined to publish both
of them in the Journal and Sentinel,
and was backed in his decision by
that of Associate Editor Mrs. Hoag
and the rest of the editorial force.
The decision, Mr. McKenzie told a
Post reporter, was because he believed
that no controversial subjects should
be allowed in the organs of the
church, and that the ideas upon
which Mrs. Eddy founded the two
publications namely, as the message
bearers from the Mother Church to
the members should be maintained.
Secretary Ogden of the trustees im
mediately took issue with the editors
and demanded that both letters be
printed in full. After long considera
tion and conference with his associ
ate Mr. McKenzie sent the following
letter yesterday morning:
"Dear Mr. Ogden When I said to
you on Wednesday last, at the time
when we were discussing the pub
lishing of some letters, that the ideal
and best way was to publish only the
Utter to the field, and not the ac
companying correspondence, you ob
jected to my view as impractical, and
I thought then that the second best
way might be feasible. Yesterday I
urged upon you more strongly the
desirability of taking the Ideal way
and spoke earnestly of the reaction
that would inevitably come upon you
and all concerned if your plans should
be carried through.
"Today I have decided, as editor,
that the best way is the only right
way. Consequently of the letters for
warded to me I have selected for pub
lication only that one addressed to
the members of the Mother church
and signed by the members of the
Christian Science board of directors.
The editorial department is a unit in
this decision and we have now sent
forward our approved proofs.
"Very sincerely yours,
(Signed)
william p. Mckenzie,
"Editor."
"David B. Ogden, C. S. B., secretary
board of trustees, the Christian Sci
ence Publishing society, Boston, United
States America."
Editor's Order Overridden.
Immediately on receipt of Mr. Mc
Kensie's letter, Mr. Ogden went to the
offices of the Journal and Sentinel
and directed the business manager to
overrule the decision of the editors
and to print both letters, and under
his orders the edition went to press
and both letters will appear in the
current issues of the two publications.
Mr. McKenzie immediately wrote
his resignation, a formal notice that
he was resigning the position that
paid him a salary of 112,000 per year.
Mrs. Hoag concurred fully with the
decision of her chief to resign rather
than to print the letters and her
resignation followed Mr. McKenzie's
to the trustees. Her position paid a
salary of $6000 yearly.
Mr. Seeley, in his letter of resigna
tion, clearly set forth bis views in the
matter. It read:
March 12. 190.
Board of Trustees, the Christian Sci
ence Publisning Society, Boston,
U. S. A.:
My Dear Friends In view of your
many personal kindnesses to me, it Is
with sincere regret that I tender my

1 1 TOMSSrWkJt.W52'sj
I am sure that the divine love which
gave us Christian Science will guide
loyal Christian Scientists aright in
their support of Otir movement dtkT
will "overturn, qverturn, overturn, j
until ne come whose right
It Is."
Sincerely yoers.
(Signed.) ELISHA B. SEELEY.
The Journal, a monthly publication,
was established in 1885 by Mrs. Eddy
as .the official organ of the church,
by wnich to reach the field and the
church members. In 1898 the Sen
tinel was established to more easily
leach the field and church members,
it being a weekly publication. Both
publications, according t- the manual
and the dictates of the mother church,
were to be strictly denominational,
and for the purpose of giving the
board of directors of the church an
opportunity to communicate with the
members through these nerlort:calis.
Jir. .McKenzie was elected editor by
the directors in 1917. and Mrs. Hoag.
who come to Boston from Toledo and
lesides at the Hotel Puritan, joined
the t-'taff as associate editor in March
OI 1319.
UUartinl jnx Held Serious.
Mr. McKenzie told a Post reporter
that the decision of the editorial force
and himself was made only after long
deliberation. It Is no secret, however,
although Mr. McKenzie begged to be
excused from discussing it when the
reporter inquired, that for manv
weeks past there has been serious
dissension all through the church
over the attitude of the trustees
toward the Journal and the Sentinel.
Cancellations of subscriptions to the
publications of the Christian Science
Publishing society have been far more
general than has become public
The 6ame state of affairs exists in
regard to the Monitor. In fact, the
cancellations of the Monitor are said
to have been greater, since it is gen
erally understood that the editorial
directors of the Monitor side with the
trustees.
From all sections of the United
States cancellations have literally
been pouring in on the Sentinel and
Journal office in numbers that have
alarmed many of those connected
with the publishing society.
"Since October," said Mr. McKenzie,
"when the trustees published some
communications between themselves
and the directors that were looked
upon as controversial, it has caused
much agitation throughout the field.
And while the editors protested at
times, they did not give up their po
sitions to prevent the publishing.
"The editors have always felt that
In consideration of the character of
the Sentinel and Journal it was ad
visable to print only such matter as
was not tontroversial. And in the
case of these letters, because of
which they preferred rather to re
sign than print, it was felt that only
the letter of the Mother church should
be printed in the Sentinel and Jour
nal, because if the others were print
ed it would only cause further dis
sension among the field and the mem
bers, who had been increasingly dis
turbed and had registered their pro
lest tnrougn so many cancellations."
Editor's Career Rotable.
Mr. McKenzie is one of the best-
known members of the Christian Sci
ence church. Born in Almonte, Can
ada, in 1S61. he was a special cor
respondent of the Mail during the
northwest campaign to put down
Riel's Insurrection in 1885. He
graduated from Knox college in To
ronto in 1889; from the Auburn, M. Y.,
Theological Seminary in 1890, and
for four years was pastor of the
First Presbyterian church in Avon,
X. Y.
He was instructor of English litera
ture and rhetoric at the University of
Rochester from 1892 to 1895, and came
to Boston in 1896, where he joined the
Christian Science movement. He was
a member of the board of lectureship
nf th churnh frnm 1S0.O , ISIS
Kenzie was "filling in" a9 editor, as,
according to the church regulations,
the editor should be elected yearly,
in June, but owing to the controversy
within the church and certain legal
encumbrances no election was held
when his last official term expired,
and he had continued as editor until
the controversy with the trustees
brought the three resignations.

PARKER READ JR. has produced
an even bigger picture than his
tremendously successful first
special, ."Sahara" The Lone Wolfs
Daughter," by Louis Joseph Vance,
which will show this week at the
Peoples theater.
"The Lone Wolfs Daughter" wa9
made under the supervision of Mr.
Read himself at the Thomas H. Ince
studios in Los Angeles and reveals in
its every foot the unequaled technical
resources of that great producing
plant. The story embodies the major
ity of the characters already familiar
to millions or American picture pat
rons in "The Lone Wolf," produced
two years ago, and in "False Faces,
one of last season's spectacular suc
cesses produced by Mr. Ince.
The scene of the story is laid in
London with a panorama of colorings
ranging from the magnificence of
Buckingham palace to the mysterious
depths of the colorful Limehouse dis
trict, where Thomas Burke conceived
his story "The Chink and the Child,
later produced by D. W. Griffith
under the title, "Broken Blossoms.'
Louis Joseph Vance personally built
the scenario for Producer Read and
both edited and titled "The Lone
Wolfs Daughter." Prominent in the
support of Louise Glaum are such dis
tinguished screen and stage players
as Edwin Stevens and Thomas Hold
ing and Bertram Grassby.

VOTERS MOT WELL POSTED
Pamphlets Are Prepared Giving
Instructions on Registration.
Due to the fact that an investigation
has shown that many young voters
are only half informed concerning the
principles for which the various par
ties stand, the directors of the Roose
velt Republican club have decided on
a series of addresses on the republican
party and its principles. The first
will be given today at the club's
luncheon at the Benson by Judge Guy
Corliss, who will discuss the prin
ciples of the G. O. v. in the light of
contemporary events.
Included in the business of the meet
ing will be discussion of the club's
precinct work designed to get voters
to register. Pamphlets explaining who
must register and where they can
register have been gotten out by the
organization for distribution by nre.
ral nation as managing editorial cinct workers.
In. the title role of "The Virgin of
Stamboul," the first films of which
arrived last week at the local Univer
sal offices. Miss Dean appears as a
beggar girl on the streets of this
Turkish city. She is a wild desert
girl, with the temper of a tigress and
the passion of an untamed gypsy. But
when she hears the Hoja advise the
American soldier, who had become in
terested in her, to beware of her, be
cause her "soul is as the filth in the
streets of Stamboul," she turns her
steps toward the Mosque of St. Sophia
to seek spiritual aid in the hope that
Allah will cleanse her soul.
Theaters are as fastidious and as
intricate as a well groomed woman,
according to Frank Lacey, manager
of the Majestic theater. Each morn
ing Just before the doors of the Ma
jestic theater are open to the public
the entire house is sprayed with per
fume. The perfume not only contains
a delicate scent but has been found
to purify the air of the theater, fresh
ening it after vacuum cleaner and
dust cloths have held an energetic
sway. The spray is called "Floro
zone" and Manager Lacey will swear
it cost $18 a gallon. Florozone is also
put in containers at various places
about the auditorium and foyer of the
theater.
Harry Carey has been preaching
rules of diet to his director, Lynni
J. Barney Sherry, who is at present
scoring such a success on the screen
in the part of McDowell, the police
captain in Marshall Neilan's "The
River's End," last week was taken
seriously ill with pneumonia. Mr.
Sherry is one of the first actors of
the "legitimate" stage to enter pic
tures and has many successes to his
credit. Every attention is being given
him in this crisis and physicians are
hopeful for his early recovery. "The
River's End" will show in Portland at
the Liberty theater.
Broken bones and bruises are an
every-day occurrence with Lon Cha
ney. who takes the part of "Blizzard"
in the new picture, "The Penalty." by
Gouverneur Morris. Chaney's fingers,
thumb and shoulder were broken. He
has dislocated several vertebrae
his backbone and sustained numerous
other injuries. He broke his thumb
when he tried to knock down a big
burly fellow who was beating a wo
man. "And then the woman pitched
into me and said to let her man
alone," says Chaney smiling. "That's
the last woman 1 tried to rescue." His
shoulder and ribs were broken play
ing football in Colorado. The other
hurts came from falls done for mo
tion pictures. Nothing daunted,
Chaney essayed a most difficult feat
in "The Penalty." With his knees
doubled up and his legs bound tightly
behind him he plunged headfirst from
a platform several feet high.
Cesare Gravina, who plays "Jahoda'
the dancing master in the new Rupert
Hughes comedy "Scratch My Back
now being filmed, wears the insignia
of the Order of Isabella, bestowed on
him by King Alphonso of Spain.
Signor Gravina, who has been on
the stage for nearly 40 years, has his
own operatic company for more than
30 years and gave performances in
every large city in Europe. He was
decorated by King Alphonso about 10
years ago after giving a season of
grand opera in Madrid.
During his operatic career Cesare
Gravina played before practically all
the rulers of European countries and
once took his organization for a tour
of the world which included a visit to
all the large cities in South America
He has been in motion pictures for
about six years.
Motion picture actresses have a
host of critics that are unknown to
the male members of the profession,
it is pointed out by Marjorie Daw,
star in "The River's End" and other
Marshall Neilan films. To most
women among the motion picture
public, according to Miss Daw, it is
just as important that the actress is a
good dresser as it is that she is an
accomplished artist. On the other
hand, little attention is paid to the
clothes of the male members of the
motion picture profession, by the men
in the audiences.
"The motion picture actress," said
Miss Daw, "is conceded to be the best
dressed woman in the country. This
is not the result of an ambition on
the part of the actress to be a leader
in fashions. It is rather the demand
of her following who insist that she
wear clothes that not only fit her
character and personality but that
are up to the minute.
"The female screen play is sub
jected to a great amount of criticism
by severe critics many thousands of
them who demand that the actress
is not only an accomplished artist,
but, and to as great an extent, that
she wears clothes that are beyond
this criticism. Most women in the
audience watch with almost as great
a degree of interest, the clothes worn
by the actress on the screen, as they
do her acting."

Talk of Recall Election Aimed at
Two School Board Members
Is Heard in City.
TACOMA, Was., March 19.
Twelve of the 62 students who re
newed their strike in the high school
at Chehalis returned to their lessons
today after making apologies. The
SO who are still out have lost all
status as strikers, school officers de
clare, and have been suspended.
Many of the young men were said
to have been seeking work today and
will quit school for good. They In
clude most of the athletes of the
school. The school operetta will not
be given and some other student ac
tivities will be ' suspended for the
remainder of the year as the result
of the unauthorized dance in a school
room, the faculty announced today.
CHEHALIS, Wash., March 19.
(Special.) r-There is much agitation
in the city for a recall election di
rected against two members of the
Chehalis school board. A. S. Cory, who
was re-elected March 6 for a three
year term, and W. J. Ford, who was
elected a year ago.
The strike of high school students
this week and the treatment accorded
the pupils by the board yesterday
have served to bring matters to a
climax and a number of well-known
citizens are openly considering the
proposition. It is more than likely
that a public meeting will be called
further to discuss the matter.
The members of the conciliation
committee of five who were invited
to sit with the school board Tuesday
night at a meeting that lasted unti
2 o'clock Wednesday morning, and
whose report was yesterday summar
ily ditched by the two directors
named, are especially inclined to re
sent the outcome.
The excuse given by the board that
the high school faculty made a threat
to walk out if the striking students
were not summarily dealt with, is not
satisfying to the committee. Under
the circumstances, the parties back of
the recall have concluded that a gen
eral clean-up and starting all over
will be the best way to again put
the Chehalis schools on a sound
working basis.

PORTLAND MAX DECLARES FOR
LOWER TAXES IX STATE.
COLLEGE NEEDS FUNDS
AGRICUIrCRAIi CLASSES FACE
REDUCTIOX, SAY'S MR. KERR.
President in Address to Alumnae
Declares Future Depends on
Passage of Extra Tax.
Unless the tax issue which will pro
vide more funds for institutions of
higher learning in this state is passed
at the next election, Oregon Agricul
tural college next fall cannot accom
modate more than 2000 students,
President Kerr last night told mem
bers of the alumnae association who
met at the Benson hotel for dinner.
Assuming that only a number
equal to those now attending apply
for admission, he said, we siiouia
have to exclude from 1000 to 1500."
B. F. Irvine, member of the board of
regents, told of the constant efforts
to bring salaries up and get money
to pay the colleges bills.
At every board meeting, he de
clared, "there is a long list of resig
nations we had 17 last time, I think.
We shouldn't have to go begging.
That institution has paid the state
more in the line of agricultural prod
ucts than it has ever cost. One can
not measure its worth with a cash
register."
Other speakers were O. M. Clark
and S. B. Hall, manager of the millage
campaign in Multnomah county. Miss
Edna Groves, head of the domestic
science department, presided and Miss
Elise Price led in the singing of col
lege songs. Dolph Thomas also fur
nished vocal solos.
