BUILDING NOW TOO SMALL
Fastor of Central Presbyterian
Congregation Replies to Irked
Congregational Society.
That the Central Presbyterian
church is not contemplating moving
Its parish boundaries, but only its
church building to a site one mile,
east and nearer the center of its con
gregation, was the declaration yes
terday of Dr. W. H. Nugent, pastor,
In reply to resolutions protesting
against the erection of the new Cen
tral Presbyterian church at the
southeast corner of East Thirty-second
and East Ankeny streets, adopted
unanimously Monday by the Port
land Association of Congregational
churches and ministers.
The- Congregational resolution con
tended that the new site is too close
to the Atkinson Memorial and Sun
nyslde Congregational churches and
that it will result in unfair compe
tition. The resolution said that the
proposed site is seven blocks from
the Atkinson church and eight from
the Sunnyside church. Dr. Nugent
oontradicted that statement, declar
ing that the site is eight blocks from
the Atkinson church and ten from
the Sunnyside.
Church Council Consulted.
The plan of the Central Presbyte
rian church to move to the new site
was referred several weeks ago to
the committee on comity of the Port
land council of churches, the under
standing being that all Presbyterian
and Congregational members of the
committee would have no part in the
findings or final report. It was said
yesterday that the matter had not yet
been considered by that committee.
"We are willing to abide by the
decision of that committee, and are
confident that they will approve the
move," said Dr. Nugent.
He eaid that Presbyterians feel that
the Congregationalists have absolute
ly no reason for any protest.
"We regret that the Congregation
alists should have carried the matter
to the daily papers and -made it a
question of public controversy while
It was still being considered by the
comity committee of the council of
churches." he continued.
Matter Considered Carefully.
The officials of our church con
sidered the matter of the two churches
carefully before any steps were taken.
Besides, the church extension com
mittee of the Portland presbytery, to
whom all such matters must be taken,
has unanimously approved the new
site.
"If Central church were moved from
the- district there would be left only
the Atkinson Memorial church in all
that section between the Centenary
Wilbur Methodist church at East
Ninth and East Pine streets to East
ITifty-fifth street and from the Sunny
side car line to Sullivan's gulch. 1
am willing to let the public judge
whether this would be an encroach
ment on the territory of the Atkinson
Memorial church or whether this lat
ter church single-handed can minister
to the needs of that great territory
of 10,000 people."
Dr. Nugent has been pastor of the
Central Presbyterian church for the
past 26 months and during that time
335 new members have been added.
The church has outgrown its present
building.

Mills in Vicinity of Haines, Or.,
Are Krsiuuiii Operations.
HAINES, Or., May 9. (Special.)
The lumbering business is coming
into Its own again locally.

HIGHWAY TO BE GRADED
Four Miles of lload Work Planned
for Kat of Chehalis.
CH EH A LIS. Wash.. May !. (Spe
cial.) County Commissioner Sumnier
villo made the announcement yes
terday at the noon meeting of the
Citizens club that the county at once
would take steps to clear anil grade
four miles or the Park highway, east
of Chehalis, extending from a point
ono mile east of Ethel to where the
highway is now graded near Silver
Creek postoff ice.
- The highway is paved across Jack
son prairie and a contract has been
let to build about 3H miles more of
paving this summer, which will take
the paving to the end of the grade.
NE of the most unqualified hits
of the season is being scored
at the Columbia theater be
Rodolph Valentino and Gloria Swan
son in "Beyond the Rocks." The at
tendance is so big that the feature
may have to be run a second week.
This signally interesting photoplay
was written by the famous novelist,
Elinor Glyn, and taken from her own
highly successful book of the same
title. Another combination enters
into the huge success of the produc
tion Sam Wood, the director, .and
Jack Cunningham, the scenarist.
"Beyond the Rocks" is a powerful,
colorful story. It contains a captivat
ing romance, and the last word in
artistic love making is spoken with
the Alps of Switzerland, the beautiful
gardens of Versailles, and Paris and
London estates as the background.
The theme is a strongly pointed les
son to women who marry without
love even if they do make the sac
rifice to help their families and It
dramatically shows what does hap
pen when the woman ultimately
meets the man of her heart. The
inevitable triangle is present; but
the complications resulting provide a
sequence of highly emotional situa
tions that grip the attention arrest
ingly. The action In the Swiss Alps Is
superb, culminating with as thrilling
a rescue as has been shown in some
time. In thl photodrama, with ex
cellent comedy running through It,
Miss Swanson has a splendid vehicle
for her versatile talents, and makes
the most of every opportunity af
forded by the story.
Additionally, a tremendous appeal
to women is made because of the
spectacular array of gowns worn by
Miss Swanson. The women in the
audience just devour that sartorial
display.
Valentino's work in the feature is
characteristically smooth and fin
ished. Besides the, big feature, the Colum
bia programme also offers a snappy
comedy of ridiculously funny situa
tions, a timely news weekly and an
excellent overture.

Rather than have the case dragged
through his court on another continu-
nearly ance, because parties involved could
not get together on a settlement. Cir
cuit Judge Tazwell offered from the
bench yesterday to pay the difference
of $250 in dispute and end the hearing
in the estate of Dr. Aaron Tilzer, in
which Mae D. Comfort sought to es
tablish a $14,000 claim.
"As matters now stand, there is
only about $250 blocking settlement
of the case at bar," commented Judge
Tazwell. "The principals will go into
conference with their attorneys and
reach some agreement, or at least
nake a real effort to do so. Failing
in this, I will pay the $260 in dispute
myself to get rid of the case."
Counsel for both sides conferred in
the judge's chambers and in a short
while emerged with the announce
ment that an agreement had been
reached under the terms of which the
woman, who had been employed by
Dr. Tilzer as nurse and secretary ,
since 1905, was allowed a bequest cf ,
$2500 provided in the will, a one-half 1
interest in an automobile and $750 on
the claim against the estate. j
Miss Comport claimed that during
her long service as a nurse in the
household of the physician and as his
private secretary, she was paid about
$15,000 by the doctor, but that her
services reasonably were worth $10,
000 additional. Two thousand dollars
of the claim was based on an alleged
promise of Dr. Tilzer to take her to
Europe to complete her training as a
nurse, an agreement which never was
carried out due to the physician's
death about a year ago.
The estate of Dr. Tilzer is valued
at about $25,000. The claim of the
nurse has been up twice before but
was adjourned when the plaintiff col
lapsed on the witness stand under
direct and cross-examination.
Joveddnh dc Rajah.
That the determination of
the Hindus to regain their his
toric freedom is reaching a
critical point for Great Britain
was the declaration yesterday
of Joveddah de Rajah, travel
ing secretary for the Freedom
of India association, who is ap
pearing at the Hippodrome
theater.
Joveddah said that Great
Britian, realizing the situation
there, made use of the limita
tion of armaments conference
at Washington to protect her
interests by guaranteeing the
status quo in Asia.
"This treaty has been clever
ly made to appear as an Ameri
can proposal, but it was in
spired by England, who stands
to gain most by it." he said.
"With her islands protected
in the Pacific and with one
year of discussion before war
is declared, England is winning
a free hand for herself in India,
unembarrassed by fear of
Japan."
The Hindoo declared that
England fears that communist
propaganda in India may ema
nate from Russia.
"At present agitation is our
only weapon, and we are fol
lowing Ghandi's non-co-operation
movement with its boycott
of British goods, British schools
and British courts in India," he
said. "But the time will come
when non-co-operation will not
be enough."
