hour at the time.

driver of a truck. for the 'Jones Lum
ber company, received, bruises when

Hew Qualification for Membership
Is "Desire to Flee Wrath and
Be Saved From Sins."
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.

Seamen on Steamer Fred Baxter
Win in All-Xight Fight lo
Keep Craft Afloat.
SEATTLE. 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."

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.

MA NT men who would like to shave
themselves, dread the after-smart
caused by using the razor daily on
a tender skin. To all such we recom
ment Santiseptic Lotion; it not only
allays the smarting and soreness, but
it acts as well as an antiseptic, pro
tecting the face from Infection. The
sense of security from Infection that
you enjoy from the use of Santiseptic
Is especially reassuring. Santiseptic,
too, is delightfully cooling and re
f retains; it leaves the skia.with soft.
velvety finish which bespeaks the
healthy, well-groomed man. There is
no shave "too close" when Santiseptic
Is used. The odor of Santiseptic is
wholesome and cleanly. Unlike many
preparations. It is not sticky. To
use it in your daily shave is to en
Joy a real luxury. Santiseptic is
easily procured at most drug and
denartment stores. If vou cannot lip-
cure it. send 50 cents, with dealer's!
