Intriguing Inquiry to President
Starts Trouble of More Than
State-Wide Importance.
BISHOP'S MOTHER HONORED
Methodists in Conference Pay Trib
ute to Mrs. T. B. Hughes.
rES MOIXES, la.. May 10. (Spe
cial.) At the Methodist general con
ference this morning Dr. W. W.
Y'oungson secured the floor from the
presiding bishop, Edwin H. Hughes,
on a privileged motion and offered
the following resolution:
"Whereas, the general conference Is
highly honored in the presence of
one of the elect women of American
Methodism; a woman well versed in
the history, policy and personnel of
our church; one who for years shared
with her husband the experiences of
our itinerant Methodism and who
gave two sons to be elevated to the
episcopacy, our lamented bishop,
Matthew Simpson Hughes, and the
distinguished president of this body
today. Bishop Edwin Holt Hughes;
therefore,
. "Be it resolved. That we request
Bishop Anderson to escort Mrs.
Thomas B. Hughes to the platform in
church. The conference stopped busi
ness for a few minutes and Bishop
AiciJoweii led in prayer.
More than 3000 resolutions and
memorials have been presented to
date; but none was argued with more
eloquence than that by Miss Madeline
Worthward of Kansas, the first of
the 40 women delegates present to ad
dress the conference. She asked that
women be accorded the sacred ordina
tion as ministers and given equal
Btanding with the male members of
Methodist annual conferences, thus
giving them equal opportunity in ec
clesiastical affairs with what they
now enjoy in political activities.
orty years ago Dr. Anna Shaw
was declined this privilege by the
general conference and as a result she
left "he Methodist church, and it is
not many years ago that Miss
Frances E. Willard was denied a seat
in the general conference. The reso
lution was supported by several men
and women and only one delegate
N. C. Sing, a native of India, opposed
It. The committee on itinerancy will
consider tne matter.

ARTY SPLIT THREATENED
When G. E. Hamaker, democratic
county chairman, sought from Presi-
ent "Wilson political thunder to use
gainst Senator Chamberlain he
tarted something. While Chairman
Hamaker sought only something with
which to fight Chamberlain he caused
the president to make a reply which
forecasts trouble at the national con
vention In San Francisco.
President Wilson's message to Mr.
Hamaker insisted that the treaty of
Versailles be adoptevithout chang
ing the dot of an 1 or the crossing of
t. W. J. Bryan has taken the posi
tion that democrats should com
promise on the treaty rather than
have the whole thing lost.
Mr. Wilson, if he can control the
San Francisco convention, will insist
on making the treaty without res
ervations the party Issue. Mr. Bryan,
who has managed to control more
than one convention when he wasn't
meant to, can be expected to oppose
the plan of Mr. Wilson.
Letter Also Sent President.
Thus the Intriguing inquiry sent to
the president by the county chairman
pened up trouble of more than state
wide importance. There is no ques
tion but that Mr. Wilson was thor-
ughly familiar with local conditions
and knew that his reply would be
sed against Senator Chamberlain.
Mr. Hamaker did more than send the
brief question by wire which prompt
ed the president s statement regard
ing democrats and the league of na
tions.
Before the Inquiry was telegraphed
Mr. Hamaker had written to Mr. Wil
on a sizzling letter regarding the
enatorial campaign situation in Ore
gon, mainly dealing with Senator
Chamberlain. This letter Mr. Wilson
had in his possession when he replied
to the telegram. Mr. Wileon has thus
far made no statement regarding the
contents of the letter. If Mr. Wilson
does not see fit to make the com
munication public Mr, Hamaker can
not, ethically, do so.
Chamberlain Antts Aided.
It Is pointed out that Mr., Wilson did
not have to answer Mr. Hamakers
nquiry. He could have ignored It.
But, for reasons of his own, the presl
dent not only made a reply but went
a step beyond by sending it by tele
graph and having copies distributed
newspaper correspondents by Sec
retary Tumulty so that wide publicity
could be obtained.
This statement, of Mr. Wilson Is
the trump card which the anti-Cham
berlain democrats will play in the prl
manes. It is to be used to indicate
hat H. G. Starkweather is the choice
of Mr. Wilson for the senatorial nomi
nation, because Mr. Starkweather's
slogan is for the treaty without reser
vations. On the other hand, while
this document from the president will
have weight with strict party demo
crats. It will be taken under advise
ment by the democrats who still be
lieve in Bryan.
Spilt la Considered Likely.
Senator Chamberlain voted for th
treaty, as Wilson wanted, and finally
supported the Lodge reservations
after Bryan Urged democrats to
compromise. This being the case the
Hamaker plan of campaign against
Senator Chamberlain is likely to
cause a split in the party, causing an
alignment of Wilsonites and Bryan
ites. Anyway, the Bryan following,
which has always been considerable
in Oregon, will be driven away from
Starkweather and sent to Chamber
Iain's support, if they are not with
htm now.
In the camp of Senator Chamber'
Iain's friends, there was a slight
shock of consternation yesterday and
they refrained from commenting un
til they could think the matter over.

CAR RELIEF SUPPORT URGED
Wood more Community Club Issues
Plea to Portland Voters.
Streetcar riders of Portland are
urged by the Woodmere Community

affecting streetcar revenues to be
voted on in the coming election. In
a statement issued by H. T. Blakeslee,
president, G. P. Douglas, secretary
and L. L. Levings, chairman of the
executive committee, the following
appeal is made:
rne success or our appeal to the
public service commission to deny the
application of the Portland Railway,
Light & Power company for an in
crease in streetcar fares and to re
lieve the car rider from the system
of double taxation to which he has
been subjected for years, has brought
opposition prominently to the front.
Unless the car riders now come to
our assistance and pass these rem
edial measures, they, as well as we.
must continue to pay toll for cross
ing the bridges that are free to all
except car riders; must continue to
pay $25,000 per year or more for the
free rides of certain classes of city
employes; must pay for paving a
portion of the streets that are miles
away from our homes; and must con
tinue to pay for the maintenance of
the portions of streets so paved.
"We are a small community made
up of wage earners who have no
other means of opposing the vested
interests that profit at our expense
than an appeal to all other residential
communities for aid in the common
cause. This appeal - we propose to
make."

Chamberlain Testifies to Senate
Probers Ex-Secretary Lane
for Oil Right Protection.
WASHINGTON. May 10. Franklin
K. Lane, ex-secretary of the Interior,
and George Agnew Chamberlain, ex-
consul general In Mexico, testified to
day before the senate committee In
vestigating Mexican affairs.
Mr. Lane declared American oil
rights In Mexico were as well found
ed in justice and deserved as much
protection as If they had been es
tablished in Pennsylvania or Cali
fornia, while Mr. Chamberlain de
clared that the attitude of the United
States toward Mexico has been one
of. accumulating shame for seven
years.
Mexican commercial and official
life was "sustained with graft from
the lowest tally clerk to the highest
cabinet officer," Mr. Chamberlain
said, and only a policy of economic
control over the country by the
United States would re-establish sta
bility.
New Danger Is Foreseen.
Referring to his resignation. Cham
berlain asserted "a self-respecting
man could -not continue to take the
money of the United States for hope
less, purposeless' service after he
knew the things I was forced to
learn."
The president, he said, "cut the
ground out from under the feet of
every diplomatic and commercial
agent the United States had in Mexico
by repeated statements that force
would never be used in the country."
"The greatest danger, now," he add
ed, "is that the United States will be
led to treat in some fashion with a
new head of affairs in Mexico before
we are really decided to deal with
the evils. The first step, In psoper
policy is that embarked upon by the
senate, in refusing to confirm an
other ambassador to that country.
We ought to follow that up.
Mexico, because it has not been able
to borrow a cent, is in a sound fi
nancial situation internationally. It
is the most wealthy country in na
tural resources I have visited, which
makes the tragedy of its last 00
years under self-determination more
glaring.
Loan to Mexico Proposed.
"We should offer a. loan sufficient
to put its finances in shape, bound
up with a treaty which Bhould give
us direct supervision of its economic
affairs. The second step should be
to withdraw the present recognition
unless that was accepted. Still fall
ing acceptance, the third step should
be an embargo; the fourth, commer
clal blockade; the fifth, a naval dem
onstration. Lastly, a military occu
pancy.
"Events are moving fast there now.
but the essential difficulties will re
main under any Mexican administra
tion.
Mr. Chamberlain said President
Wilson's assertion that big interests
favored Intervention was particu
larly shameful."
"It was the American small farmer
and business man who suffered al
ways." he added. "The big corpora
tion paid the graft. They could pay
the graft, the others had ,to flee.

CAMPAIGN DEBATES INVITED
Johnson's Campaign Manager Pro
poses Series of Meetings.
Senator Johnson's campaign man
ager, Sanfield Macdonald, proposes a
series of debates between repre
sentatives of Senator Johnson and
representatives of other candidates,
the subject of the debate to be the
record and personalitie of the candi
dates and their proposed policies.
The reason assigned for the chal
lenge is that "there Is such a wide
diversion of opinion through lack of
authentic information upon the per
sonality of the candidates, their per
sonal and official records and par
ticularly upon the proposed covenant
of the league of nations which strikes
at and affects the very fundamentals
of American government in its domes
tic relations as well as its relations
with foreign governments." Those de
