BOSTON RULE IS ISSUE Memorandum Addressed to Mem bers Intended to Settle Strife Within Mother ChurcH. NEW YORK. April 1. (Special) A "memorandum of necessary ini tial reforms in the mother church" of "the Christian Science faith has been prepared by John V. Dittemore for mail distribution today among 40,000 members of the church throughout the world. Mr. Dittemore is exill senior member of the board of direct ors, according to the findings of Judge Frederic Dodge, master in the Chris tian Science litigation before the Mas sachusetts supreme court. A copy of the memorandum, which la addressed to "the members of the mother church, the First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston." was re- , ceived here today. In the suggestions! advanced by Mr. Dittemore a sweep ing readjustment of the affairs of the mother church and the Christian Sci ence Publishing society are provided for. Thirteen' proposed changes are enumerated. Briefly, they are as fol lows: Sweeping; C'ljer.gc Suggested. "A return to the 'cabinet form of government, as provided for the moth er church by Mrs. Kddy. "Such change In the personnel of the board of directors as will iti.sure a new and more progressive point of view. Un lieu of the annual mother church meetings in June of each year, there should be published annually In booklet form for general free dis tribution a thorough analytical state ment of the activities of all church and allied departments, this report to Include full information regarding the Christian Science Publishing society. Benevolent association, trustees under Mrs. Kddy's will, etc. "Such changes ih the board of lec tureship and method of providing lec tures and lecturers as will produce a higher, more efficient and more spiritual standard. "Abolition by the Christian Science board of dirfx;tors of . paid commit tee of 'mental workers.' "A committee on finance serving In such capacity the mother church alone, and paid, if at all. a nominal Salary to cover their expenses. Kdltorlat Control Aaked. "Control of the editorial policy of all the Christian Science publications issued by the publishing society for the mother church, to be under the supervision of the board of directors in accordance with the provisions of the mother church manual. "The trustees to conduct the busi ness of the publishing society 'on their own responsibility and in accordance with whatever legal rights may be accorded them by the final decision of the supreme court of Massachu setts in the present litigation. "A permanent 'welfare department" of the mother church to which rec ommendations and criticisms from the field may be sent and sympathetically received and considered. "A general policy of discourage ment toward any additional centrali sation of power or authority in 'Bos ton and a definite encouragement of greater simplicity in the government of the mother church and its branches. A more definite spirit of 'local eelf government' or Congregationalism throughout the field. "The Christian Science Benevolent Association to continue as a separate corporation and to be kept distinct from the mother church. The associa tion to be rescued from its present perilous and practically insolvent con dition and operated both scientifically and benevolently." Official Atmosphere Itevealed. Mr. Dittemore, in his memorandum, reviews the state of tire church now existing and eayt; "Almost imperceptibly has an 'offi cial atmosphere' developed in the mother church in which, the tenden cies and characteristics of all past ecclesiastical history are in evidence to those not consciously or uncon sciously satisfied with less than the clear apprehension and practical dem onstration of Mrs. Eddy's inspired dis covery of this age, that principle is God and that Christianity is neither form, ceremony nor. powerful church organization, but is demonstrable sci ence. "It Is not a theory, but a definite condition, which must now be brought to a just and right solution if the Church of Christ, Scientist, in its pres ent form is to endure." He adds that "It has now become apparent to everyone who has fol lowed the course of the litigation without prejudice that the laws of Massachusetts governing the trustee ships contain certain provisions not known, or at least not considered heretofore by Christian Scientists, which neither Individual church mem bers nor the courts can overlook or ignore. Decision Net Clarifying. Whether the decision of Justice Ce'Courcey of the Massachusetts su preme Judicial court on Tuesday in rejecting the petition of the Christian Science delegates will help clear the smoke of battle within Vhe Scientist denomination, is said by members of the faith, here to be" somewhat prob lematical. Meanwhile, the delegates who brought their case for leave to inter vene in the litigation between the directors and the trustees, in the name of Mrs. Emilie B. Hulin of Brooklyn, a first member of the mother church, declare the matter is not ended so far as their efforts to intervene are concerned. Both Mrs. Hulin and Miles W. Dawson, of coun sel for the delegates, say there will be certain further action. Mr. Dawson said the decision would be appealed by the delegates to the full bench of the, Massachusetts su preme court. What additional legal action will be taken has not been decided, he said. MEMBERS WOULD DiTERVEXE Preservation of Manual Object of Snit by Edwin A. Krautlioff. BOSTON, April 1. There ' was a new development in the litigation in volving the Christian Science church and the publishing society when Ed win A. Kxauthoff of Washington, D. C, filed a suit for intervention in bebalf of himself and Mrs. Krauthoff as members of the church. The object of the suit is said in the petition to be the preservation of the church manual as the .system of gov ernment of the church established by Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy, Its founder. Jt is requested that the Christian Science Publishing society be decreed an integral portion of the mother church and subject to the control of its constituted authority. The peti tioners ask that the trustees of the publishing society be enjoined from further refusal to recognize, the con trolling authority of the mother church with respect to its periodicals and literature.

FULLS OVER STATE PRAXKISH MARCH WEATHER PIAYS UXCSUAIi TRICK. Fear Felt by Fruit Growers That Budding and Blossoming Trees May Be Injured. Concern is : felt by fruit growers lest the sudden drop in temperature that has been felt over the Pacific northwest may do injury to the bud ding fruit trees. The prevailing sun shine of March started the swelling of the buds of many varieties, but it was the opinion of many persons yes terday that no harm had resulted from the temperature of Tuesday night. The range of temperatures at Port land for the 24 hours ending at 5 P. M. yesterday was between five and six degrees lower than for the pre ceding day. The high temperature was 43 degrees and the low 33, Just one degree above freezing at the weather bureau. ' Ice formed in some localities. The rainfall was .15 of an inch, the deficiency of rainfall since September 1 standing at 11.30 inches. Notwithstanding the preponderance of clouds with light ra'in, hail and slight flurries of snow, typical of the last gasp of a month that is of re pute for unwelcome weather, there were tour and three-quarters hours during which the sun smiled defiance to Jack Frost. 11 DRIVE GOES SLOWLY LITTLE MORE THAS OXE- THIRD OF SC3I RAISED. Important Social Service WorkfvVill Be Injured Unless Full Amount of $10,000 la Obtained. "Ijnless Portland awakens to the urgency of the cause, and the need of the T. W. C. A, for $40,000 to -carry on its work, the present drive will fall short of its objective." says Mrs. F. W. Stevenson, national campaign director sent to Portland to supervise the drive. "With three days of the week already checked off. total sub scriptions have- reached, little more than $14,000, or about one-third of the sum required to insure the continu ance of the important social service of the institution." While going through one of the larger business offices in the city, the workers asked a young woman stenographer if she could give to the "YW." Her reply was, "I certainly can. - I appreciate the services done for . me by the association. When I came to Portland to seek work I did not know what I wanted to do nor how to- go about it. I was directed to the 'YW,' where they gave me a room, and through their help I re ceived training and found my posi tion, which was the only chance I had to make something of myself." 6he gave the solicitor a $20 bill which she had saved out of her salary, so that some other girl might receive the same hearty welcome and advice that she did. Mrs. K. P. Northrup's team la still in fhe lead with $1948.50 to its credit; Mrs. Willis Duniways team is second with $916.50. The standing of the other teams Is as follows: Mrs. Will iam D.

Drafting of recommendations was left to a committee of the manufac turers which will report at an early date. The next meeting will be in response to a call of the secretary. VALUE" IS TOPIG REV. W. EVESOX PREACHES AT PAMAGES THEATER, Sonship of Christ Only Way for God's Fatherhood to Read Man, Says Pastor. "Christ and the Human Value" was the subject of-Rev. W. F. Ineson, pas tor of the Sunnyside Methodist Kpis copal church, in his address at the noon meeting at the Pantages theater yesterday held under the auspices of the Portland Federation of Churches. Mr. Ineson said, in part: "Jesus Christ did two things when he- was here on earth that made his advent to this world unique. He declared the true nature of God and manifested the true spirit of man. He declared that God was the Father, but he lived the life of the Son of God. It is ab surd to think that Jesus attempted to live the life of the eternal father only to the extent that the fatherhood of God shows forth in Christ's perfect sonship. I do not know of any way for God's fatherhood to get out into this world except through sonship and Jesus Christ was the son of God. It might be truthfully said that he was a son among many brethren, but he lived his sonship in such a full and complete way that the fatherhood of God got into human life as it had not done before his day and has not done since. Therefore we give to Jesus Christ pre-eminence among men." MAN IS SAFE 3 MINUTES ' V ; Hospital Patient Returns After Short Free Period. Three minutes after he left St. Vin cent's hospital, where he had been a patient for several weeks, T. W. Ingram of The Dalles was among those present at a stwet car and auto mobile collision at -o'clock Wednes day night, and. on his way back to the ward.

Reinke of The Dalles called for him in a touring car Wednesday night. At Twenty-third and Washington streets, a few blocks from St. Vin cent's, the collision occurred with an inbound street car. Ingram was slightly injured, but his return to the hospital seemed advisable. Reinke sustained a cut lip. Heilig. BT JOSEPH MACQUEEN. nTUCH of that quiet, polished ele-J A.1X gance that lives in French art is apparent in Jacques Thibaud's vio lin playing. Thibaud, heralded as a young vio lin virtuoso, appeared in concert last night in the lleillg and charmed a large audience. In personal appear ance 'and stage behavior Thibaud is calm and non-sensational. He gives you the idea that he has a quiet music treat in store for you and ful fills the contract. Wednesday night, in addition to the big Lalo "Sympho nic Espagnole," his programme con tained seven other selections with four extra numbers. For the first four selections Thi baud played with lovely, silky tone and the effect was like the music of a quiet river on a day in June. The audience liked the violin treat and applauded without being much stirred. The truth was that Thibaud had not seen fit as yet to stir them up with music fireworks. But he did so in rendering the well-known "Prelude and Allegro," from an arrangement by Kreisler. It has the true fire and was delivered with thrilling intensity and masterful authority. It made one's pulse go faster. The Lalo "Symphonic" glowed with warm color, and some of the mes- VICTOR T4UB7 HosMii (Herbert Wither- spoon).. .... . ..... ... . . .$1-34 3574 Festival Te Deom (Trinity Choir) .gt.33 fOim Adete Fldeles (Westmins- ter Chimes) Lead Kind v Light and Nearer My God to J nee...... ........9 .S3 68t6T Les Ratueaux (The Palme) (Enrico Caruso) . .... . glS6 7419S Open the Gates of the Temple (Evan Williams)LM 7445 Calvary (Herbert Wlther- . npoon) . -uM 4S08T) Palms, Tbe (Beinald Wer r en rath) Lost Chord (Relnald Wer- rrrath) , fl.fra 4T12 Orucifix (M eCormlck- Werrenratn).. ......... .ftN 7403 Stabat Mater (Evan Will iams) TH.50 74472 O Stlnttrit (Mare-el Journet) . . . 91-54 4295 Shepherd, Show Me How to Go (George Hamlin) SI.OO 14006 B e a u 1 1 ful Isle of Some- -where (Harold Jarvis)....
