Corvallts. Dec. 11. (Special.) A plan that will bring to the school In dustrial work In Oregon the combined efforts of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture, the State Depart ment of Education and the Oregon Agricultural College haa been agreed upon by J. A. Churchill. State Superin tendent of Public Instruction, and Ralph D. Hetiel, director of college ex tension, and the outlines are now being prepared by college specialists. The new plan Involves the organiza tion of boys- and girls' cluba through oat the state for tho study of Indus trial subjects. The school fairs and con test features, which have been pro moted during the past year, will be re tained aa a part of the work, but It 'will be so organized as to call for few er and less expensive prizes. The num ber of products for which prizes will be offered probably will be reduced and tho awards will e based to a greater degree upon the methods by which tbe products were created. The public school organization will be used in the new plan. Tbe County Superintendents will be asked to co operate In enlisting the teachers of their varioua counties In tbe work of organising the boys and girls who are interested. Various projects, such as corn raising, hog raising, bread mak ing, chicken raising, etc. will be out lined and clubs will be urged to choose those projects which are best suited to their particular communities and to carry on a careful study under the Im mediate direction of tbe officials In charge of the work. Professor Griffin will act as state leader. 'The two traveling field men now attached to the State Superintend ent's office will continue as field or ganizers of club work. O. H. Benson, specialist In boys' and girls' club work in the Government Department of Ag riculture, has advised Professor Hetzel that he will come to Oregon and aid In the organization of the work. Sidewalk Cleats Not Required. OLTMPIA. Wash., Dec 11. The Su preme Court In .upholding the King County Superior Court today In the case ot James Dougan against the City of Seattle, says the fact that a city builds a sidewalk on a steep hill does not make it liable for accidents because cleats are not provided. This will af fect practically all cities In Western Washington. John JT. Carlisle. Commissioner of Hlah ways of New York State, has Issued rules for the protection of the state roads, one of which is that no load In excess ot 14 tons .will be allowed en the road it any.

SECEDERS STANDING FIRM High Official In Methodist Episcopal Organization, Who Counseled Original Merger, Finds Situa tion Difficult One. When Bishop Richard J. Cooke, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, re turned to Portland from the East a little more than a week ago. he was confronted by the most delicate situa tion that has come within his jurisdic tion since be was appointed to this diocese the rift In the congregation of the First Methodist Church. So far he has not decided whether to comply with the petition signed by about one-third of the congregation of he Taylor-street Church to appoint a pastor for that part of the congre gation of the First Methodist Church that has remained in the old church at Third and Taylor streets (in which case Dr. Benjamin Young, still the pastor of tho two divisions of First Church, would have charge of only the contin gent which returned to Grace Church), or to counsel a bridging over of the differences so that the split congrega tion might be reunited. Bishop la Retleeat. Bishop Cooke said yesterday that he regretted that so much publicity al ready had been given to the matter. I must beg to be excused from dis cussing the matter In the press." said the bishop. "It Is not good for the church, nor for the people nor for the welfare of society." What makes the matter harder for the bishop to decide is the fact that when the Grace Church contingent re turned to the old Taylor-street Church more than a year ago he counseled and aided the move. Should he now recom mend to the National conference of the church the appointment of a pastor for the Taylor-street Church, he would be reversing his former decision. Of course, t that .time the plan, ahead. was the building of a fine new First Methodist Church, which would be a credit to the church and the city. On the other - hand. If the bishop should counsel an amalgamation of the two congregations, the Taylor-street congregation would be averse to re turning to Grace Church and the Grace Church people would not wish to leave their present place of worship. As some of the seceders expressed It, If the bishop should decide In favor of the Joining of the two congregations,' the only plan which the Taylor-street members would at all be likely to con sent to would be that Dr. Toung come back to the Taylor-street Church, for they would never consent to go bsck to Grace Church now. And even that. In view of the fact that they had asked for a new pastor, would be conceded re luctantly. As the matter of the sale of the Taylor-street Church property, which would require a two-thirds vote of the con gregation did not even obtain a ma jority vote at a recent conference of tbe congregation, which contemplated the building of a new church on the Grace Church property at Twelfth and Taylor streets, some of the members of the congregations of both churches have expressed the Idea that there Is no possible way out of the dilemma except to have two separate churches and two pastorates. The ruling of a bishop, they say. Is not like the ruling of a court, although undoubtedly the bishop will act as If seems In bis judg ment to be best. ARCHITECT PLAN WINS PORTLAND PROJECT BACKED BY ORGAXIZATIOSS EVERYWHERE. TM If Movesaeat Saececd Work Federal Bslldlaxs May Be Cosasaeaced zt Sprlag. The movement of the Portland Cham, ber of Commerce to secure the passage of a bill making It possible for the congestion In the offices of the Federal architects to be relieved and local architects to be called In to assist In cities where Federal buildings are con templated, has become nationwide and letters are being received dally from all parts of the United States, pledging support to the irfbvement.

Washington, Fiftyyseven years old. and gray haired, regarded by the police as a swindler. Mrs. E. Patrick, alias Weeks, alias Paddon. allns De Witt, was taken Into custody yesterday morning by De tectives Vaughn. Hyde and Pat Mo loney, and will be returned to Eugene for trial on a swindling charge Her cmef business. It is said, was swin dling women on hair deals. The chase has lasted four months. during part of which time one or more detectives were tracing her various movements at all times. About October 14 she came into the notice of tbe detectives through a re port made by Miss Sadlo Haggerty who then owned the Smart Shop, in the selling building. Miss Haggerty a serted that Mrs. Paddock, as she knew her, came Into the store and asked to be shown a $22 bat. She picked one. tnen apparently discovered that she had left her checkbook at home. She took the hat. promising to pay for It the next day. and at the same time or dered a valuable hat sent to her daugh ter In Seattle. The Seattle-sent hat was returned. The detectives recovered the Portland headgear. Sheriff Parker, of Eugene, telephoned to the local detectives November 22 concerning a woman who went from house to house Inducing women to give up hair combings, with the prom ise that she would have them made into switches. She did not return with the switches, and their deposit money, it Is alleged, also disappeared. About December 7 a similar report came In from Rainier. Or- but before she could be located she disappeared. It Is alleged that she visited Forest Grove December 11. The management of the Turner Mercantile Company says that she got a quantity of hair from the farmer women In the surrounding country. She also received a number of wool sweaters from tbe company saying that she would try to sell them to the farmers' wives. Two black valises left the Forest Grove station about the time she left the town, and these Detective Moloney traced to a fashionable hotel In Port land. When placed under arrest yes terday she fought furiously, and when landed In Jail attacked Detective Hyde. RAYMOND DEBATERS LOSE Centralla High Argues Better on Ex clusion of Common Workers. RAYMOND.
