terday and gathered Information con
cerning Portland's (100,000 municipal
paving plant.
Tacoma has been considering a mu

the main to street repair. About
112,000 was to be spent for the plant,
an amount similar to that expended
when Portland first entered the pav
ing game.
Tacoma Is now building its own
sewers and the visitors told of the
success attained by the municipality
in this line. City Commissioner Bar
bur told the Tacoma officials that
Portland had tried building one sewer
and had lost money on it and that
no further municipal sewer construc
tion In Portland was contemplated
by the present administration.
C. E. Putnam a,nd W. D. Vealey of
the Tacoma city engineer's office and
A. Christorfeson, superintendent of
streets in Tacoma, comprised the

GOT ACT IS THIOMPH
By a vote of 65 to 67 the women of
the Episcopal church in western Ore
pon went on record yesterday as not
desiring seats in all church councils
w-here laymen are now admitted. The
vote on the proposal was one of the
Interesting event of the conventions
of the Woman' auxiliary of the dio
cese of Oregon.
The proposal to admit women dele
gates on an equal footing; with lay
men to all church councils will go
before the triennial convention of the
Episcopal church in Portland next
September. Meanwhile, the question
whether women desire such rights Is
being put to the various diocesan
auxiliaries upon request of some of
the bishops.
Question la Armved.
There were speeches Doth for and
against the proposal at yesterday's
session, and on a viva voce vote the
. chairman declared the convention in
favor of the proposal. Then, when a
rising vote was called for, tne pro
posal was lost by the vote indicated
above.
The convention opened at 10 o'clock
yesterday morning, with Bishop Sum
ner celebrant at the Eucharist. - A
sermon was given by Rev. John Cle
land of Oregon City. The rest of the
day was devoted to business sessions,
with a luncheon at noon, served in
the parish house.
There were- addresses by Rev.
Charles P. Deems, assistant general
superintendent of the Seaman's
Church Institute of America, who
spoke on this work; Archdeacon J. C.
Black, whose subject was "Mission
Worn and Its Prospects," and by
Bishop Sumner, giving a review of
the work of the women of the diocese,
end especially in connection with the
forthcoming general convention of
the church in Portland.
Housing Is Praised.
"There never was a convention of
this church that was as well housed
as will be the one In Portland." said
the hlBhop. He said It may be ex
pected to be the greatest convention
of the church In its history in Amer
ica. The question of dancing came in
for comment on the part of the bishop,
who said:
"We are hearing a great deal these
days about the breaking down of
social and moral laws. There la a
good deal of criticism directed to the
fcoclal life of the community, and
things going on such as dancing in
the public schools.
"But dancing of Itself Is not harm
ful. There Is, of course, objection
able dancing and we have had it not
only in our public schools, but in our
church school, St. Helen's hall. We
adopted certain rules, and found them
to work satisfactorily. If these rules
are adopted. I believe they will settle
all the immorality.
Chnprronea Are Required.
"First, we require chaperones or
elder people in attendance at the
dances. And. secondly, we adopt the
old West Point rule that there must
be space between the dancers. These
two rules are sufficient to handle the
situation.
"I cannot believe that there has
teen such a lowering of standard as
is declared. I cannot believe fhat
v hat has come will be permanent.
We needn't feel the world has gone
to chaos and that we are in a riot of
cnethica, but I believe we may welt
feel that the world Is coming back
to normal conditions.
"If we of the church teach the old
religion, the world will be safe and
the young people will be safe."
Reports from the various depart
ments of the auxiliary showed general
progress, and the formation of several
new church, schools was reported.
Officers Are Elected.
Kleetlon of officers for the ensuing
year resulted as follows: Mrs. WilBon
Johnston, president; Mrs. Thomas
Kirby, first vice-president; Mrs. K. B.
I.. Halght, second vice-president: Mrs.

Olympic cib of that city. The Cam
eron sisters, dancers de luxe and
beauties of renown in stagedom, are
Joint headlines with Mr. Gaxton in
this show.
Mr. Gaxton's playlet, "Kisses," has
been acclaimed everywhere as a
vaudeville classic. It Is novel in
theme, the story being built around a
wager made by a olubman that he
could make four women kiss him
without asking. He wins "hands
down" in all four Instances. The girls
who support Mr. Gaxton are perfect
types, the wiles of the star in con
quering them are very amusing and
the lines are keenly humorous.
The Cameron sisters, assisted by
Grant McKay at the piano, have an
artistic act featuring several varieties
of the dance in all of which the girls
are expert. The costuming is beau
tiful and the stage setting for this
act is elaborate. Mr. Gaxton joins
the girls In a comedy afterpiece which
scores a hit second only to the suc
cess of the joint stars with their In
dividual acts.
Lydell and Macy, the added attrac
tion of the show, are a comedy tri
umph with their standard act, "Old
Cronies," in which they characterize
veterans of the civil war, one from
the army and the other from the
navy.
RECONSTRUCTION', both moral and
physical, of the lives of girls,
most of them young and Irresponsible,
who have gone wrong, Is the task to
which the Louise Home addresses it-
eelf. No activity growing out of the
Portland community chest could have
in It more of value to humanity than
his. Money spent In such a cause Is
nothing less than an Investment that
returns a full measure of economic
value to the community. Mrs. R. E.
Bondurant, member of the board of
directors. Is keenly appreciative of
the extent to which the success of
this work depends upon the com
munity chest. She said:
"The Louise Home sheltered 131
girls last year and has 48 at present.
Of this number 40 are under 18, five
are 14, five 13 Rnd one only 10. The
average age Is la.
' e are siad to say that through
he functioning of the community
chest, we have been relieved of the
burden of raising funds and have thus
been enabled to give more time and
thought to the girls under our care
and that part of the work that needs
our personal and individual atten
tion."

"I felt too humiliated to want to go
to school any more my clothes were
shabby. I had no pin money and I
couldn't" dress like other girls," was
the reason given Dy Greta Moore
Thompson on the witness stand yes
tecday in the court of Circuit Judge
Tazwell for not completing her edu
cation after one year in a Tacoma
"prep" school.
She took up seasonaT work as a mil
liner's apprentice. This was against
her own wishes, as she desired to be
a . ra 1nH nurse, but she WaS only IT
andher step-mother insisted tl-t she j
take up the ofher vocation, Mrs. .
Thompson testified.
Punishment Is Described.
The young woman was on the stand.
all day yesterday in the sensational .
contest in which she seeks to .break .
the will of her father, the late
Lawrence K. Moore, which left the
entire estate to Mrs. Jessie Eildred
Moore, the petitioners' step-mother.
Frequently, both at their home in
Moro, Or., and in Portland, Mrs.
Moore would punish her step-daughter
severely and without cause, de
clased the witness.
"She used a strap with a buckle on
it and she hit me with the buckle
end," she testified. "Sometimes she
would tie my hands behind my back
and sometimes she would have Rose
Kunsman. the hired girl, hold my
hands. Several times she tied towels
tightly over my head and mouth."
Though she admitted that her
father frequently was present when
she was scolded by her step-mother
and that he never Interfered, Mrs.
Thompson said that only once did
Mrs. Moore do pflyslcal violence to
her when L. K. Moore was around.
Hair Pulled, Is Story.
"We got into a quarrel," she said,
"and Jessie grabbed my hair and
pulled it terribly. I took hold of her I
wrists and asked her to let go. Just '
then my father stepped out of his
den. I could see that he was fear- I
fully angry. He told Jessie to let go
at once. Then they went away and i
talked. That was the first time my !
father ever saw Jessie punish me and
she never pulled my hair after that.
I didn't know he was in the house
at the time and I don't think she
did."
Concerning one of the "scenes"
when her father was present, the wit
ness said, "Mrs. Moore had more or
less of a tantrum. She cried, talked
loudly, threw herself on the bed and
acted like a spoiled child. Papar
didn t do anything. It must have
been a difficult situation for him.
And in the end Mrs. Moore got her
way."
Geperally the witness spoke of her
step-mother as "Mrs. Moore,"- though
sometimes as "Jessie."
Child Declared Frightened,
Mrs. Thompson said that she was
very afraid of the dark and that her !
step-mother would lock her in the j
basement of their Moro home at night
and on one occasion had the maid
parade in a sheet past the basement
window to frighten the child.
The witness declared that after her
father's death, the widow told her
that she knew nothing of the con
tents of his will, but later admitted
that she had been with him when be
drew it.
Cross-examination of the petitioner
will begin this morning in the court
of Judge TazwelL
