BAN ON AMUSEMENTS
Methodist-Episcopal Confer
ence Is Saturday.
ADVICE PLAN IS FAVORED
failures of Preucliers to Put Con
jrrugallon Members on Trial
May End Mandatory.
STKACUSli, N. Y., April 26. Rev.
Edmund M. Mills, acting secretary
for the general conference of the
Methodist Kpiscopal church which will
open Saturday at Ues 'Moines, la.,
stated tonight that the conference
probably would . revise the ban on
amusements, changing it from a man
datory act in the book o f discipline
to a word of advice.
Memorials submitted to Dr. Mills
from country-wide conferences Iho.w
that about one-third of. the preachers
want to. eliminate all reference to
dancing and theaters and card pay
ing, with others uncertain as to how
to deal with the proposition.
Prrichm Omit Trials.
In view of the fact that the preach
ers do not put men and . women on
trial for these amusements. Dr. Mills'
will move elimination of the follow
ing words in that part of the book of
discipline dealing with the trial of a
member foT imprudent conduct:
"Dancing, -play ing at games of
chance, attending theaters, horse
races, circuses, dancing parties, pat
ronizing dancing schools or taking
part in such other amusements as are
ohviouslv of miHlead-inir and Question
able moral tendency."
For such offense the law call first
for reproof by pastors; secondly, re
proof by pastor and class leader or
"discreet members of the church,
and for the third offense the accused
shall be brought to trial.
After striking out the words re
ferred to Dr. MilJ would have a star
placed at this point leading with
trials making it compulsory lor, the
ministers to read the chapter on
"amusements" under the head of
"advice." -"
Careful TboUKht Advocated.
This paragraph covers the situation
In some detail and says;--
"We affectionately' admonish all
our people to make their amusements
the subject of careful thought and
frequent prayer; to study the subject
of amusements in the ligt of fheir
tendencies and to be scrupulously
careful in this matter to set no in
jurious examples, we advise and be
seech every member of the church ab
solutely to avoid the taking of such
diversions as cannot be "used in the
name of the Lord Jesus."
In the matter of laymen being seat
ed in the annual conferences the me
morials show them to be defeated by
at least 500 votes. The laymen car
ried the measure. 10 to 1, but were
defeated by the ministers.
"BIG -STICK" SUGGESTED
.
IXDEUWOOD WOULD BItlXU
CAN ADA TO TERMS.
lUtalintlon Crged if .Friendly Ef
forts Pail to Get Pulp Wood
Embargo Removed..
WASHINGTON, April 26. Unless
Canadian provinces can be won
through friendly efforts to remove
export restrictions on pulp wood, con
gress should use the "big stick" of
retaliatory legislation. Senator Un
derwood, democrat, Alabama, declared
before the house foreign affairs com
mittee. He was urging favorable
action on his resolution for the ap
pointment of a commission to seek
the removal of the embargoes.
."Seriou's injury will be suffered by
our newspapers in a few years if there
is no legislation," declared. Senator
Underwood.
W. K. Haskell, vice-president of the
International Paper company, eclared
that the Underwood resolution com
prehended the only practical means
of providing sufficient news print in
the United States to insure the llve's
of the smaller newspapers.
"The purpose of the resolution," he
said, "is to save a great industry of
the United States and to provide that
"production of news print may be in
creased and the price of news print
to the consumer be lowered and
stabilized."

At the Theaters.
Pantages. .
HAZEL KIRKE astonished and cap-
tivated Pantages audiences yes
terday and probably will continue her
activities in that direction at every
performance if her pep holds out.
Hazel has not been in Portland
in half a dozen years, and the
Intervening seasons have been kind
ones tor tne aainty little dancer
and songstress. She has an attract
ive body, which she flings , madly
about in eccentricities of dance, and
her costuming is so bizarre It en
hances all she does.
whom, Jimmie Casson, is a clever
dancer and has a remarkably good
singing voice. Fred Klem keeps the
piano busy, and the act is handsome
ly staged.
A Charming girl is Hose Vernon.
who has a Patricola nersonalitv anrl I
a delightful stage presence. She is a
wholesome type,' sings a group of
songs in a big musical voice and imi
tates a violin splendidly.
A most diverting act Is that of Val
and iJamble, who have put together
something -wholly new in vaudeville.
Val io a ligj-tning calculator, one of
those wizards who mentally adds up
a million numbers or multiplies fig
ures and then proves it on a black
board. . Gamble is a capital funster,
with ai.sense of humor constantly, at
work, antl4 he "keeps up a pleasant j
line or repartee while Al figures. It's
a corking -act." i -
Joe. Jenny returns with Messrs.
M. T. Bohannon and Dave Morris, in
songjepertoire. One is the tenor
sissy, one the deep-voiced tragedian
and one the Dutch comedian. Their
voices blend beautifully and the
audience was loah to let the trio
depart. More songs and less slapstick
would put the act a top-notcher In
harmony turns.
The opening act Is a spirited game
of stage polo between! cyclists
Harvard Holt and Kendrick which is
developed excitingly with plenty of
comedy.
The Four Bonesettis are happily
named in case any of the four fine,
big athletes broke their'bones vhile
tumbling, somersaulting and leaping
around. Their act is an acrobatic
surprise in every way. "Daredevil
