DES MOINES, la.. May 22. A change, which many delegates said was important, was made today in the ritual of the Methodist Episcopal church by the general conference, which adopted the majority report of the committee on judiciary, which held unconstitutional the question on the ritual of the churcl. for the re ception of members, which reads: "Do you believe in the doctrines of the Holy Scriptures as se. forth in the articles of religion of the Methodist Episcopal church?" an- the necessary answer, "I do." The report was adopted after long debate by an aye and no vote, 300 for and 369 against. The report of the committee did not touch on the other questions usually asked in the reception of members, because they were not involved in the appeal which eliminated the report. However, the report indicated that the only qualification for membership is a "desire to flee from the wrath to come and to be saved from their eins." No Change Favored. There will be no debate in the gen eral conference on proposed changes in the amusement clause of the dis cipline of the church, if the report of the committee on state of church is presented and adopted as decided upon by the committee. Not only has tho committee decided to recommend Vtmt no change be made in amusement actions, but also that the report be &0pted without debate. The same committee has agreed upon a definite plan for recreation in local churches, intended to satisfy the wants of the young people. Appoint ment of a local recreational director will be recommended. X atand against the use of the mo tion pictures in the church will not be taken, according to a report ap proved by the committee on state of the church. This report urges the establishment of local and state boards of censorship for pictures and calls upon all legislative bodies "to take early and effective measures to abate the dangerous nuisance of un wholesome and unclean moving pic ture display." It also condemns all commercialized exhibitions of motion pictures on Sun day and urges all the churches, other organizations and individuals exhibit ing pictures on Sunday to "scrupu lously avoid anything and everything that would in any way detract from the sense of the essential sanctity of the Lord's day." Divorce Lam Proposed. Congress would be petitioned, to adopt a joint resolution proposing to the several states a constitutional amendment authorizing congress to establish and enforce uniform mar riage and divorce laws throughout the nation, in another report filed. The reports of the committee on itineracy will recommend two inno vations in the work of the church a provision permitting deaconesses of the church, in necessary and urgent cases, to administer the rights of bap tism, and permitting annual confer ences to provide permanent endow ment funds for the support of retired local preachers. The evening session tonight whs given over to the reception of frater nal delegates from the three colof -d Methodist Episcopal churches. It was said "the election of two negro bish ops will do more to erase the question mark written across the hearts of the black Christians than anything that has happened since the emar.ci- patiOTproclamation.

Wash.. May 22. (Spe cial.) Exhausted after an all-night struggle at the pumps, the crew of the fcteam schooner Fred Baxter came ashore here at 4 A. M. today after winntngju desperate fight to save her from sinKing. The schooner reached Union dock only a few minutes before the water in the hold reached the boilers and extinguished the fires. The ship was made fast and kept from sinking when auxiliary pumps from ashore were hurriedly connected. Part of the deck cargo of lumber and poles was lost during the nieht. The schooner left Everett at mid night, after loading for San Pedro. The cargo began to shift when the ship was off Marrowstone point. It was soon discovered that water wa rapidly filling the hold. The captain believes a porthole was left open and will conduct a survey as soon as the water is pumped out. Radio distress signals were flashed as tho tide put the schooner on her beam ends. Then it was found that her Sampson post was broken. The men kept at the pumps and the ship steamed for Port Townsend, riding at an angle of 40 degrees. The Baxter is a modern steam schooner and has been in the coast wise trade for three years. She ar rived in the sound recently with a cargo of sugar from the south. She is owned by J. H. Baxter of San Fran cisco and operated by the Parr-Mc-Cormick company. She is capable of carrying 1.200.000 feet of lumber. Priority Order Thought Likely for Quick Dispatch' of Material for Car Building. SEATTLE, Wash.. May 22. (Spe. cial.) A note of warning to procras tinating lumber and Bhingle buyers is contained in a summary of the in dustrial situation announced today by Robert B. Allen, secretary-manager of the West Coast Lumbermen's asso ciation. . He says: "Car shortage is again be coming abnormally acute at the mills in Oregon and Washington., So seri ous is the outlook for future deliv eries tfiat it is doubtful if the buying movement which always precedes rate advance can be handled with customary protection to buyers. Higher Rates Declared Sure. "Increased freight rates are certairi. These increases will be announced and made effective earlier than first an ticipated. In view of the emergency, it is possible for the interstate com merce commission to inaugurate new rates without the customary 30 days' notice, leaving any inequalities of the new tariffs to be Btraightened out later. "Mills of the Pacific northwest are protecting themselves against the ad vance in their terms of order accept ance, whereas the buyer is not . pro tected unless his cars are moving prior to the effective date of the ad vance. "In view of the growing car short age, there seems . little chance of crowding through a big volume of business in an eleventh-hour rush, such as has been the case just ahead of previous rate, advances. Priority Order Expected. "Further complicating the question of deliveries of retail yard and fac tory material is' the release of a heavy volume of railroad buying, which is forecast in the approval by the interstate commerce commission of a loan of $125,000,000 to the car riers for the purchase of new equip ment. There is a general belief that thor will be a priority order for the quick dispatch of car-building material." a. & c. feldenheimer JEWELERS : : SILVERSMITHS OPTICIANS DIAMONDS MOUNTED AND UNMOUNTED DIAMOND AND PLATINUM JEWELRY ENGAGEMENT AND WEDDING .

INCREASED RATES SOUGHT Oregon Roads File5 Petition With Public Service Commission. SALEM, Or., May 22. (Special.) Increases in freight rates amounting to 23.91 per cent are sought by all the railroads operating in Oregon, in a petition filed with the Oregon public service commission here today. The petition sets out that the proposed increase pertains only to intrastate business: Because all of the railroads of the United States recently filed with the interstate commerce commission an application for a general advance, in present freight rates, the operators at the Oregon lines ask that the peti tions relating to both intrastate and interstate increases be heard at a joint session of the interstate com merce cognmlssion and the Oregon public service commission. Applica tions similar to the one filed here to day have been filed with the com missions having jurisdiction over op eration of railroads in other states. The increase sought by the Oregon railroads is based on the contention that the present revenues are insuffi cient to meet operating cost and pay a fair return on the moneys invested Improvements are also contemplated by many of the railroads, for which they allege they have no funds. The Oregon public service commis sion will confer with the interstate commerce commission as to taking joint action. MR. CRANE TO RETIRE National Committeeman Will 'of Seek Office Again.
