4 TIIE jrORNIXG OREGOXIAX. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 4, 1922 SUCCESS OF PARLEY C1LLE0 WONDERFUL Greatest 'Progress Made at Start, Says Sullivan. FEELING IS ANALYZED j Flatten! ng-Out Toward End of Con- feronce Declared to Be Nat- 1 ural Result. Br MARK SULLIVAN. (Copyright, by the New York Evening Post. Inn. Published by Arrangement. ) WASHINGTON, D. C, Jan. a. (Special.) The public generally dis tant from Washington must be more than a little dismayed to find some writers and others casting a balance, so to speak, on the arms conference and coming- to a tepidly comfortable conclusion that on the whole it has been a success. The contrast between the Bpirlt of the. opening day and the spirit of the closing days Is undoubtedly real, but If you look Into It closely you will find that mere psychology plays a larger part in it than the funda mental facts do. Thoughtful persons foresaw the dramatic anti-climax, which is the chief cause of the pres ent rather f lattened-out feeling. I suspect that Mr. Hughes himself foresaw It and calmly counted it in the cost as against the advantages he gained by making his sensational opening speech. - The day that peace was made there was a famous American humorist In Washington who remarked, with the Intentional exaggeration of his role, "I'm going back home. This is going to be a bum show. They've pulled off the big murder in the first scene." Dramatics Rule Violated. Now that sounds merely frivolous, but it tells the. whole story. It Is not for nothing that generations and cen turies; of dramatists have- learned that there is a law of the human mind when It is in the role of spec tator which requires that you must have the big scene in the th(rd act or otherwise have your show flatten out In an anti-climax. Mr. Hughes and the American delegates violated this rule, and did it with their eyes open, and they are now quite serene in facing the foreseen revolt of an anti-climax, as far as the spectators are concerned. The conference as a show Is one thing, but as a mechanism for achiev ing certain results it is quite an other thing. It is the conference as a how that the less thoughtful pub lic now sees and finds a bit dis appointing. If the whole thing had been reversed, if we had had all the disputes and disagreements In the opening weeks, and if. on one of the closing days, Mr. Hughes should have come out with an unexpected an nouncement such as that Great Brit ain, Japan and America had agreed to stop naval competition and take a ten-year naval holiday, then the eame persons who now see the conference as a dramatic anti-climax would be seeing it as what it intrinsically Is a sensational and unprecedented suc cess. Some Called Pessimist. Further than this. It Is an unhappy fact that with some of those who now proclaim the conference a fail ure it Is a case either of tempera mental pessimism or some other form of lack of kinship with the atmos phere of enthusiasm and such. The truth is that the effective opposition to s-uccess in this conference, meas ured In terms of population and other values, is not more than 20 per cent. If the conference were an ordinary parliamentary gathering, this 20 per cjnt minority would be bowled over unceremoniously. But the conference Is a case where decisions must be unanimous. When this limitation is remembered, the wonder Is not the relatively small failures of the gathering, but its great successes. Even the failures have had the good effect of drawing out over whelming evidence of fact namely, that the majority of the peoples and governments of the world favor the purposes of the conference. This minority that resists will find its position increasingly untenable. There will be other conferences like this. TheySvill come soon, and in them the resistance will be a constantly dimin ishing factor. i MRS. STILLMAN WORN OUT Intent to Tramp 30 Miles on non to Get Evidence Abandoned. MONTREAL, Jan. .

COURT TO DIRECT ACTS Post to Be Kept Until Hearings on Church Row Have Been Com pleted and Case Decided. BOSTON, Jan. 3. Judge Crosby o! the supreme court announced today that he would appoint Fred M. Lam son, vice-president of the Old Colony Trust company, here, and a Christian Scientist, as temporary trustee to take charge of the affairs of the Christian Science Publishing society, when details as to his duties had been defined. Trustees of the publishing society and directors of the first church of Christ, Scientist, had in formed the court that they had agreed on Mr. Lamson. Judge Crosby decided Mr. Lamson should be designated as temporary trustee, rather than temporary re ceiver, as had been suggested by counsel for the trustees, but that he should be responsible to the court and should not exercise powers given by Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy to the trustees under her deed of trust. He will hold his post until the court has deter mined after further hearings whether the directors acted in good faith In removing Herbert W. Eustace and Paul Harvey as trustees and has acted on various other matters before the court. Compromise la Reached Counsel for John V. Dittemore. who Is contesting his removal from the board of directors, also agreed to the appointment of Mr. Lamson. In argu ments before the court ex-Governor Bates, for the directors,' contended that the supreme court in its decree on the protracted Christian Science litigation had held that the directors had the right to supervise publication of all literature sent out for the bene fit of the church and had control over the trustees. Judge Crosby said there was nothing in the decision giving the directors the right to exercise powers conferred on the trustees un der Mrs. Eddy's deed or to carry on the business of the publishing society. Herman L Whipple, counsel for the trustees, said they had made a net profit- of more than 375.000 in 1921. Mr. Bates retorted that if the trustees had managed affairs to the satlsfac tion of all Christian Scientists they would have paid the church from profits $1,600,000. .fudge Soma l'p Case. Judge Crosby, in summing up mat ters not yet disposed of, said it seemed to him that the difference be tween the trustees and the directors was the desire of the trustees to nave the matter of the accounts passed upon in connection with their resignations. whereas the directors Insisted that the trustees should resign without reference to the approval of their ac counts.

Federal Supreme Court Declares Account Must Be Taken of Platting of Domain. WASHINGTON, D. C, Jan. 3. Rail roads and other owners of public land who exchange It for other public or 'indemnity lands can be required by the government, in selecting the "In demnity" land, to designate a legal subdivision in its entirety, the su preme court today held in a case brought by the Southern-Pt.ciflc com pany. The railroad sought to compel the government to permit It, in exchang ing land, to select land located in dif ferent subdivisions. Justice Vande venter, who declared the opinion of the court, directed attention to the wide importance of the decision as a precedent. The court held that the government, having adopted a method of surveying and platting the public lands, can refuse to permit owners In selecting "indemnity" -lands to pick parts of subdfVisions: but can insist that they must take all or none of such subdivisions. The court points out that the exchanges need not "ex actly match in quantity," but only that they should "correspond as near ly as legal subdivisions will permit."

Deluge in Rural Districts Believed to Be Less Serious Than - Flood Last August. PHOENIX. Ariz.. Jan.- 3. The crest of the Cave creek flood, which en tered the Salt River valley lrrlgat'on district last night, passed through J Phoenix today without having done great damage In this city. The damage In the rural districts also is believed to be less than that caused by a Cave creek flood last August. After efforts to divert the wajer at a point northwest of the state capitol to keep the flood from the capitol and fashionable residence district In that vicinity had failed, the water spread over a large portion of the capitol grounds. There was not sufficient volume of water, however, 'for it to enter the building. Traffic to and from the west over the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe and Arizona" Eastern railways still was suspended tonight as a result of cuts made in the embankments on which their tracks are located.' These em bankments last August served as re taining walls and caused the water In the vicinity of the capitol to reach a much greater depth than otherwise would have occurred. The embankments were cut easily today to give the waters free exit. Some Water is still coming down from Cave creek but only in small volume. Officials of the waterusere' associa tion said that the crest of the flood passed the Arizona canal, 10 miles north of Phoenix, about 5 o'clock this morning. At that hour, they said, the water at the canal dropped 18 inches. Fear that continued rains might cause another rise in the water was expressed, however. Reports here In dicated that more rain fell in the Cave creek watershed last night. The' water entered the city at a point about a mile and a half from the state capitol, which is in the di rect path of the flood. " Residents of the northwest part of the city' were moving' from their homes all morning. Others living In that section of the city were moving their furnishings to the upper floors of their homes.

"Co-operative Christianity" Topic of Address to Session of Com munity Church Conference. Religious creeds and dogma were assailed by Professor L. S. Hopkins, member of the faculty of the Univer sity of California, in an attack on church denomlnat'onaitsm made In his address on "Co-operative Christian ity" yesterday afternoon at the open ing session of a commun'ty church conference in the Young Men's Chris tian association. About 25 delegates, representing the community church movement in the northwest, were present. "The spirit of Christ has been be trayed thrice and crucified by relig ious leaders and denominations," de clared Professor Hopkins. "The first crucifixion was by. the Jews, the sec ond by the Catholic church and the third by the more modern denomina tions." Professor Hopkins characterized a denomination as a "soulless, bodyless creation, a true example of artificial thought, which is another name for prejudice." Dnnominationallsm Is wronff be cause It is Inconsistent with Christian universality." he said. "There are not many doors which open to the king dom of heaven. To be a Methodist or a Baptist or a Lutheran or a Chris tian Scientist was never mentioned as a pre-requisite to eternal life. Yet there are many who call themselves by these appellations and consider them special qualifications of Chris tian character. This Is a vain hallu cination. The great teacher said, "I am the light and the way. There is no other name under heaven whereby ye may be saved." "We are now faced with the appall ing fact that there are more than 300 denominations In America today. At the present rate the number will be doubled In the next 100 years. Think of the Injustice when all these sweep down on a single city or community, each demanding a church and pas torate. Think of the absurdity of a village of a few thousand souls striv ing to maintain 800 schools. Yet this Is a parallel caoo i. and demands of the denominational churches. It Is ridiculous, absurd ana foolish." Delegates to the conference attend ed the meeting of the Portland Min isterial association yesterday morn ing. In the afternoon they disposed of routine business and discussed problems of the community church. Rev. G. V. McClure of Rldgefield. Wash was named secretary of the conference. Rev. D. E.

Reddick of Battleground, Wash, were elected as a committee to make arrangements to launch a campaign for the com munity church Idea.
