CAPTURE BY BANDITS
JOLD BY SHELTON
Medical Missionary Held
Days by Chinese.

DOCTOR IN HOLE 5 DAYS
Tumor on Xeck Causes Illness
and Physician Is Tied
on Ills Mule.
NEW YORK, June 27. (Special.)
"Dr. A- 1 Shelton, a medical mission
ary stationed for 17 years at Batang,
. China, on the Tibetan border, arrived
ift New York today after undergoing
-turpical treatment at the Mayo hos
pital, Rochester, Minn., madp neces
, iary by his sufferings while held cap
Ive for ransom by the bandit, Yang
Tlen-Fu. Dr. Shelton will preach at
he Central church of the Disciples of
Christ tomorrow morning.-
"We left Batang in November, and
" was bringing my wife and daugh
ters to the coast on their way home,"
rtaid Dr. Shelton yesterday, telling his
story. "We had been coming toward
the coast 47 days, when all of a sud
den bandits began firing at us from
a cliff. Soon they swooped down and
took everything we had. including
myself. They asked me to go up the
road to see their chief. Supposing he
merely wanted to talk to me. I went.
They tried to take my wife and chil
dren, but solders came from the town
and saved them.
Held for 71 Dam.
"The bandits kept me 71 days. We
are greatly indebted to Father Bail
ly. a French Catholic missionary, who
has lived in Yunan 30 years, and who
took Mrs. Shelton anfl the girls to
. Yunnanfu. while I was carried off
through the country, constantly on
the move, until I escaped.
"The bandits wanted to get the
governor of the province into trouble.
There were grudges and political
reasons. They knew I was coming
through and waited for me. They
demanded $50,000 worth of arms and
ammunition in exchange for me, but
I talked the chief, Yang Tien-Fu, out
of this, saying I would not be ran
somed, because it would put every
missionary in the district into dan
ger. Then he demanded a blanket
pardon for himself and 800 followers.
X was in favor of this, for in his band
were many good fellows who wanted
to get back to civil life and honesty.
"Everything was ready to be signed
up on this pjan when the governor
tried to surround them in the night
to put them to death at the end of
the first month of our wanderings.
L'ndericoea Many Hardships.
"They escaped with me, and for 40
days thereafter I" underwent the most
terrible travels, with soldiers after
us. sleeping out on the mountains,
forced marches and all the time
undergoing torture from a tumor that
began growing on my neck. At the
end of the second month 1 was so
weak that I rolled off my mule un
less tied and held on. Then they
carried me another five days on two
poles, at the end of which I was so
nearly dead they left me in an old
hay barn with four guards and in
structions that if I died my body was
lo be secreted.
"If I got better they were to be
notified, and would come back after
me. And for five days I lay in a
hole amid the rice straw and rested.
Then came a report that soldiers were
coming, and the whole village fled
except the old man who brought me
ric.
"The soldiers did not come, but a
small official went through and in
the excitement I got out of the barn,
and made my way to the nearest
Christian village, where I got a email
pony, and the church elders held me
on him for 24 hours until the middle
of the next afternoon, I reached a
place where there was a magistrate
and soldiers.
"Three days later, with an escort,
I was met by Dr. E. P. Osgood, of
Chueow, sent by our mission,- and
J. P. Thornton, of the' Standard Oil
company, who had been appointed
special representative of the United
States to negotiate with the bandits
lor my release."
Dr. Shelton was operated on at the
French hospital at Yunnanfu, united
with his family and sent to America

agent of Klickitat county, is to con
duct an interesting experiment in
"Walla Walla county soon, when he
will assist the United States biolog

CITY'S HOUSES INCREASE
BUILDING CAMPAIGN STARTS
PORTLAND ON BOOM.
More Than 200 Plans for Houses
Are Bought by Prospective
Owners, Barbur Announces.
Developments In the "own-your-own-home"
campaign, recently- inau
gurated by the city bureau of public
works under the direction of Commis
sioner Barbur, indicate that by fall
the constructi-ii of temporary homes
will be going forward rapidly in Port
land. Plans for the temporary houses
are now being sold by the bureau, an
estimate of cost beine: furnished with
esich chart. The plans are priced at
25 cents, the cost of blue-prinfing.
As a result of the efforts of the
civic building committee, of which
Commissioner Barbur is chairman, the
building ordinance which forbids the
construction of convertible huuses has
been amended to permit construction
of temporary homes whenever prop-erty-ownen
in possession of lots 100
feet along the street of the prospective
site have signified their consent. An
amendment of the plumbing coi'e has
also been secured whereby owners of
temporary homes may 'nsta'l plumb
ing conveniences within the period of
one year.
Already, according to Commissioner
Barbur, more than 200 plans drawn
by the city architect have been sold
to prospective home-builriers and by
fall the number of thoso wishing to
build will have considerably :n
creased. Rents, says the commis
sioner, are not expected to be low
ered and the only way to meet the
high prices is to build more homes.
As long as the public. Commissioner
Barbur declared, refuses to Luild
homes rents will remain high.
It is pointed out by the civic l-uild-ing
committee that the construction
of a home on an average sized lot
(50x100) guarantees a cut in the high
cost of living, inasmuch a.3 a small
garden can be cultivated during the
owner's leisure moments. Probably
75 per cent of vegetables used can be
grown in the garden of a house built
upon a lot of average size, asserts the
committee.
It is understood that many of those
intending to construct homes in the
fall wish to take their summer vaca
tions before doing so.
United Swedish Singers
End Excellent Festival.
Programme Arouaea Audience to
Much Enthnaiaiini.
BY JOSEPH MACQUEEN.
ITH a thrilling, dramatic ren
dition of Grieg's immortal
'Landslghtlng," sung by the big
massed male chorus, the festival of
the United Swedish Singers of the Pa
cific Coast came to an enjoyable con
clusion in the public tfuditorium last
night. The audience numbered about
1200. There were many recalls and
enthusiasm reigned.
Madame Marie Sidenius Zendt, lyric
soprano of Chicago, again was soloist
and she deepened the favorable im
pression she won by her fine singing
at the previous concert. Last night
she sang "with credit to herself two
exacting solos, requiring much flexi
bility of voice to interpret them "One
Fine Day," from Puccini's "Madame
Butterfly" and "Lo, Hear the Gentle
Lark," (Bishop) and it was a joy to
hear them so artistically and so easily
rendered. A brace of four Swedish
songs brought delighted applause and
the soloist's extra numbers were:
"Love's Highway" and "Annie Laurie."
In the male chorus line each chorus
in the federation first sang individu
ally under its own conductor, and
then sang as a massed chorus. Seattle
sent three male choruses: the Svea,
Vasa and Eko, with H. P. Sather as
conductor. There were also the
Swedish Glee club, Everett, Wash.;
the Thule Male chorus, Taeoma, and
the Columbia Male chorus, this city,
the Columbias had the largest num
ber of singers. All of -the numbers
were sung without accompaniment in
the Swedish language. All the
choruses sang well, with fine atten
tion to shading and expression. Axel
c i ii i hi rom or ssan -F rancisco ts a
wonder . and delight as conductor.
Organ selections were played by
Ernest M. Nordstrom, who rendered
irnprovjzauons. rne two accom-
pnuisis were .agar t;. coursen and
miss iiina Anderson.
The convention ends tonight with
a Danquet at the Benson hotel.

DR. PRATT PREACHES
FAREWELL
Pastor of Pilgrim Congrega
tion Quits Ministry. .
EFFORTS HELD FRUITLESS
Religious Matters Will Continue to
Be Topics for Public Lectures.
Interested In Society.
"My. call to preach has expired.
Frankly, I shaii be very glad never
to be asked to preach another ser
mon.!' So Dr. Robert Murray Pratt began
his farewell address yesterday morn
ing which closed his ministry, not
only of the Pilgrim Congregational
church of this city, which he has held
for more than two years, but from the
entire profession, his services to
which he denounces as fruitless en
ergy. Dr. Pratt has been known as a lead
er among the progressive thinkers of
the Portland ministerial group. He
has been dean two successive sum
mers of the course for Bible students
and ministers held under the auspices
of the Portland orthodox clergy. At
the present time he is giving a series
ot lectuits each Wednesday night at
the Y. M. C. A. auditorium of an edu
cational nature. While he is leaving
the ministry he hopes to continue his
work as an education director along
religious lines. It is also possbile he
may align himself with educational
work among the benighted races.
Still Cherishes Religious Work.
"It is true that I shall continue to
speak publicly on matters religious
because I am deeply interested in the
welfare of human society." continue:!
Dr. Pratt. "My call to preach came
from my fellow men. I was asked to
preach certain things and was in
structed in the method of taking sen
tences of scripture to prove the truth
of these things. The most important
thing seemed to be that men should
know they were hopelessly lost. Aluo
that the way out Was a miraculous
method, depending upon an act of
belief in the person.
"The experience of the years in the
very earnest contact with people has
wrought great changes in faith and
works and has made it quite impos
sible for me to spend time and en
ergy in fruitless activity.
"Frequently I hear the cry, "Get
back to fundamentals.' But I can
not find any unity of expression upon
the fundamentals except upon those
same things which those who insist
upon fundamentals declare not to
be fundamental. When doctors disa
gree, who shall decide?
Service Transcends Dollars.
"Whether business methods in re
ligious organization are Used or not,
business tests are applied in the esti
mate of results. It is true that hu
man service transcends the dollar
sign, but how much more of that
which is called religious is far from
the classification of human service?
"No. I shall not say that my call to
preach has expired. I shall simply
state that we seem to have outgrown
the need of sermons. That which is
ordinarily embodied in sermons is well
known, both in and out of the church,
and the repetition of it does not im
prove it, but is largely responsible
for the lack of interest in religious
presentation. I shall change the
form of my call from 'preach' to
'teach' and shall use the Information
have gathered and the experience
I have developed in the work of
teaching the great facts of life as
they are revealed in the lives of the
great masters of life"
PASTOR EXTOLS SHRISERS
Lesson Is Drawn From Symbolism
and Fellowship of Parades.
"Church people have much to learn
from the symbolism and fellowship
that lived in the Shrine parades of
last week.
"We who stood onthe street side
lines and watched that seemingly
endless procession- of Shriners with
many degrees of beautiful colors and
bands of music that delighted the ear
and eye. knew that the scene pictured
far more than a common-parade.
"The marching men were animated
by a common purpose, that of social
fellowship. With such a lesson taught,
the onlooker could not gaxe on It un
moved." So said Rev. Thomas Jenkins, rec
tor of St. David's Episcopal church,
in his sermon yesterday.
"All color and all lines are the out
ward marks of hidden beauty," pro
ceeded the preacher. "All life is ex
pressed in sympolism and themes. In
the Shrine parades, we saw great
expressions of Joy, of beauty and
the church should have that atmos
fehere to get hold of the men that are
not yet in the church and so help to
displace sin and want, and" lack of
fellowship.
"No one can live to himself. Ore
gon can't live for itself alone, or It
will perish. The fullness of life de
mands fellowship. People naturally
group themselves together on a basis
of brotherhood. The Shriners were
rich in fellowship because of the in
dividual expression from each
Shrlner.
MINISTER DEPICTS GOD'S LOVE
One's Idea of Deity Determines
Christian Life, Says Pastor.
uoa is not just tne uoa or tnose in
trouble and need. This was the
thought of Dr. Joshua Stansfield. pas
tor of the First Methodist chunch
yesterday morning in a sermon de
livered on "The God of the Strong."
In it he said:
"We desire this morning to speak
on this exceptional theme. 'The God
of the Strong,' and to present a de
cidedly different view of God and
religion from that which generally
obtains.
"Let me make one or two prelim
inary observations: First, one's idea
of God will determine very largely
his religious character ana life; second
what God is, as revealed In the Bible.
He is for man. God is 'light, and love.
and justice, and truth, and power, and
shepherd, and savior, and redeemer,
ana tora, ana rather, and friend;'
third, God is truly known to men in
personal experience and appropria
tion. It is only when one can sin
cerely say, "The Lord is my light and
my salvation. The Lord is my shep
herd, my savior, my strength and my
redeemer, my Lord, my father, my
friend, that religion is at its best and
God Is valid and real.
"Now, in most religious life God is
thought of and spoken of as in the
exceptional things of life sickness,
distress, weakness, danger, disaster,
bereavement, sorrow, sufferings,
death but human life is far more
and other than these. There are far
more days of health than sickness,
of gain than loss, of light than dark
ness, of peace than war, of quiet than
SERMON
tribulation, of strength than weak
ness, but it is the exceptional we moat
remember and speak of.
"One night of toothache is remem
bered and talked of more than a
hundred nights of restful sleep; one
accident or heavy loss is more spoken
of than years of unbroken happiness
and good. It is the exceptional that
tends out in -life's experiences; and
it Is in the exceptional that God la most
known., Thrs is as It is, but is It as
it should'te God is" God in the ex
ceptional, but He should "be the God
of our lifje the whole life. . . .
' "Now, surely, we do not wish- to
think less of God as- our great de
liverer, and rededmer. and savior, and
helper in every time of need, but I
would that we should think of God
also and much as the strength of our
life, and in all the good of our life
as well as in the ill.
"What of the fine, strong, health
ful, happy young people of this con
gregation? How much It would mean
to them and to the church If they
could habit themselves to come be
fore God, and say: 'Lord, my God, I
feel fit. and strong, and happy, and
gobd for life and for living; take mei
a,3 I am and use me this day in good
service for thee and for all whom
I rrwy meet. Help me fully to use
what I have and what I am for thee.'
O, God, my strength and my re
deemer. Let ua think of God as 'the
God of the strong,' -not alone the
savior of the dying thief, and of the
broken degenerate, ruined lives of
men, but also aa the God of Moses,
and Isaiah, and Joshua, and John,
and Paul, and Uuther, and Savonarola,
and Knox, and Wesley, and Livings
tone, and Lincoln, and Phillip Brooks,
and a thousand thousand of the
strong.
" 'God of my life through all my days.
My grateful powers shall demand Thy
praise.'
"There are hundreds of strong,
healthy, happy young people and
older men and women, who, in their
regular life, have little conscious need
or ground for appeal to God and
religion as they now understand it.
If they were poor and distressed and
broken and lost, they might really
need God and help, and become peni
tent and pious, but .for "the GoaT"they
now know of there is really no very
conscious need in the regular run of
their life. They could, indeed, be
more pious and religious if they
only felt worse. They are too good
to be bad enough to get the sup
posed best benefits of religion and
of God. Would that we might know
and practice God, in the normal as
well as in the exceptional things of
life. God is health and happiness.
and success.- and achievements, as
well as in weakness, distress and
need the God of the strong the God,
indeed, of the whole' life."

MESSAGE CAUSES UPSET
Representative From Whitman
County, Wash., Has Change
of .Heart Overnight.
BY CHARLES C. HART,
Washington, r. C, Correspondent for The
Oresonian.
S A .V FRANCISCO, June 27. (Spe
cial.) Listen, my children, and you
shall hear of the midnight . ride of
Maloney's beer. This is certainly
taking liberties, but poetic license is
about the only privilege that survives
the Volstead aefc. The injured ones
say a little explanation is necessary.
There was great excitement this
morning around the Cift hotel, where
the Washington delegation has' head
quarters, .uelegatea and hotel em
ployes were aiding in the search for
Martin Maloney's wet plank, which
he had been carrying around on his
hip for several days, displaying it to
his colleagues and feeling them out
on a little liberalization of the pro
hibition enforcement act.
Others Beaton In First Ruh.
This of course will be some shock
to those familiar with the fact that
Martin beat everybody else to the
dry move in the Spokane convention,
and thereby created a super-dry rep
utation for himself; no one must un
derstand that Martin had actual beer
in Ji Is possession by the poet's men
tion of "Maloney's beer." That would
be slander.
It was Just a little beer and wine
plank designed to life the .spirits' of
those who indulge. The commotion
thls. morning over the Iocs of the Ma-
loney document appears to have been
caused by a pointed telegram sent to
the Washington delegation yesterday
carrying, the signature of 25 Influential-
democrats of Whitman county.
This quarter of a hundred citizens of
Whitman county grew fearful that
the wild influence of San Francisco
might waken the zeal of Neighbor
Maloney and some of the other extra
dry delegates. Accordingly, they fired
in the telegram to the delegation in
care of Mr. Maloney. who, however,
is understood not to have seen it un
til Chairman Richard Seeley Jones
sprang It on the caucus of the dele
gation yesterday afternoon.
Maloney Complexion Changers.
The Maloney complexion at that
moment is described as having the
tinge" Of watered milk, and when the
delegates awoke this morning his wet
plank was, gone. The only clew ob
tained was that there was a rattling
of the pipes at the Clift hotel about
midnight last night, which was ig
nored by others of the delegation on
the simple supposition that something
had gone wrong with the plumbing.
The police were not notified, as the
owner of the lost plank manifested no
genuine desire to regain his lost man
uscript. It began to dawn on the Washing
ton delegation this afternoon that
William Jennings Bryan is in a po
sition to swing the -majority to any
of his propositions.. Including the
league of nations and prohibition
planks. Maurice A. Langhorne of
Taeoma, chosen yesterday to the reso
lutions committee, announced this
afternoon that he is ready to go to
the limit with Mr. Bryan. A test
of sentiment is coming tomorrow
morning when a chairman of the
steering committee - will be chosen
and some surprises are said to be due
and the administration and wet com
bination in the delegation were as
serting that-E. M. Connor of South
Bend, Wash., editor of the Willapa
Harbor fuoi, a weu-known wet, was
sure of election y the votes of hli
self, H. C. Davis of Yakima, and Mrs.
J. M. Simpson of Spokane.
There are rumors flying that C. C,
Dill Is wielding powerful influence
within the Washington delegation
and should Davis, a straight-out Bry
an man, be chosen, it would be a Dill
victory. Dill Is for Bryan and every
thing Bryan stands for, but like other

Bryan supporters in the delegation,
he is not for Bryan for president.
Dill has had liule to say ince he
has been here and declared today that
he never talks to newspapers. It
came out. however, that the storm in
the secret caucus of yesterday was
over the method of choosing a steer
ing committee and that Mr. Dill was
the storm center. The fight on him
was led by K. W. Robertson of Spo
kane and Dill won by a vote of 13
to 10.
The question of the unit rule also
caused another controversy In which
those favoring the plan of binding
the delegates as a unit lost. The
Washington delegation is ready to
start out for McAdoo but is not
strong in the faith. A large portion
of the delegates are bending toward
Cox and will go to him at the first
opportunity, it was said tonight.
Information on the Bryan strength

A Logical Choice
In Matters of Trust
IN the past it was the custom to
saddle a personal friend with the
burden of acting as executor and
trustee of one's estate. Experience
has proved that the competent
individual is already too heavily
encumbered with his own business
to handle, with the fullest measure
of success, the affairs of another.
Therefore it is logical for you to select
this bank to act for you in such matters.
It is here to protect the people of Oregon
and to extend to them the benefit of its
integrity, strength and exberience.

First Step in Making Your Will"

Shoemaker thinks that the com
pany would rather come to an agree

raise on July 12 unless the city can
show reason why the appeal already
before the commission should not be
granted.

150 Shades!
Every tube of Purola Shaving Cream contains the
"makin's" for about 150 cool, satisfying shaves.
Each particle of cream multiplies itself hundreds of
times with water.
We waited years before we put out a "Purola
Shaving Cream. We were not satisfied to put the
"Purola" name and guarantee on record until we
had a cream that represented a real improvement.
Now, make this test! Take a several days growth
of beard those boasting of tough, wiry beards,
especially invited. Use hot water ana a pinch or so
of Purola Shaving Cream. Sixty seconds of lather
ing and you'll have the face covered with the cream
iest, softest lather a man could want. It'll retain its
creaminess without replacing until you've been over
the face, and Reaves a comfortable, exhilarating
impression that lasts long after you shave.
Get a tube at your druggist's. Try it tomorrow, and if Purola
Cream doesn't do what we say, the trial is on us. That's our
guarantee.
