The tentative course of study for
Methodist ministers referred to the
board of bishops for adoption was
returned to the 'commission from
which it had originated yesterday by
order of the board, with suggestions
for substitutions in three or four in
stances. The indorsement of the
board was made conditional on the
changes and if so amended it will be
authorized. Otherwise the matter
must lie over until the fall session late
in November.
The action was taken by the board
of bishops on the third day of their
first semi-annual meeting to be held
in Portland Practically all matters
of special importance have now been
disposed of and on Monday and lues
day the greater part of the time will
be taken up with the regular reports
of he bishops. Although routine
work Is anticipated for the remainder
of the session it is possible that in
teresting problems may develop at
any time when the reports come up
for discussion. About onerthird of
the number have not yet reported on
their work.
Four Books Are Rejected.
From the list of about 150 books
submitted by the commission the
bishops rejected four. Substitute
books acceptable to the board were
recommended to facilitate matetrs in
case the commission is willing to ac
cept the changes.
The beckt disapproved by the board
fo the lift which candidates for the
min'stry not in regular Methodist col-,
leg-s or lrOlogical sem naries must
etudy are: "The Gospel for the
Working World." Ward; "The Second
Coming." Campbell; "Commentary on
the Bible," Peake. As substitutes the
board recommended "The Church and
Industrial Reconstruction." a Y. M. C.
A. publication, and Rail's "Modern
Pre-Millenniumism and the Christian
Hone." Three or four other books not
nnnnunceri bv th eboard yesterday

to allow the commission a choice.

Th. nncstion of holding one ses

of the two yearly meetings now held
was debated, but postponed till tht

A number of the board are known to
th. chanare. but all preferred
to delay the matter rather than take
hasty action.
The afternoon session was devoted

BENJAMIN HORN LOSES LIFE
IN 75-FOOT PLUNGE,
Loaded Logging - Motor Vehicle
Dashes Off Grade and Driver
Is Crushed to Death.
HOOD RIVER, Or., May 14. (Spe
cial.) Benjamin Horn, overseas war
veteran and former member of the
104th ammunition train, 29th division,
was crushed to death last night when
a loaded logging truck he was pilot
ing went off a 7o-foot grade In the
Oak- Grove district. Horn, who was
33 years old. with his brothers oper
ated a sawmill at Oak Grove. Joe
Horn was accompanying the accident
victim from the forests.
The road 'at the point .where .the
tragedy occurred is steep and so nar
row that it was necessary to keep the
wheels in a beaten track. The
younger brother had gone ahead to
remove a rock from the road. In
starting the truck down the heavy
grade the wheels in some manner left
the track and Joe, as he swung to
the running board, felt the heaVy load
toppling. He jumped to safety, but
Benjamin was carried down in the
cab. The first turn of the heavy truck
crushed the veteran's legs. In the
second revolution his body was
crushed.
Funeral services in charge of the
American Legion post will be held
Monday, Rev. W. H. Boddy, pastor of
the Riverside community church, of
ficiating. Horn was a member of the
Knights of Pythias and Dramatic Or
der of Knights of Khorassan. The
Knights of Pythias band and members
of the fraternal organizations will
participate in the services.
Joe Horn and another surviving
brother. Otto, are both war veterans.
Horn's wife, his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Philip Horn, and the following other
brothers and sisters survive him:
Livas, Mark and Jake Horn and Mrs.
Albert Brooks and Mrs. O. C. Kiezur.

It will be of interest to all ex-

PHILADELPHIA. A' woman has
voluntarily gone to jail in Newcastle,
Del., in order that her beard may
grow, shielded from the public gaze.
She is Mrs. Edward J'erris, and for
many years she sat in the side show
of a circus and displayed her luxu
riant whiskers. She was thrifty and
managed to save $7000.
As the bearded lady she was a star
feature of the side show. Through
the practice of thrift she saved up
nearly $10,000. Although her face
was her fortune, it was not a face to
inspire romance. Nobody likes to
make love to a woman whose blushes
are hidden under six inches of black
whiskers. It Is hard to caress a fairy
who has a beard like Santa Claus.
Nevertheless, one of the glassblow
ers. Ferris by name, of the show.
thought of that $10,000 the hairy lady
had in her sock and shut his eyes to
everything else. He wooed and won
the bearded lady in a whirlwind cam
paign.
After the wedding the bride passed
under the razor. The brush was re
moved from her visage and she be
came much as other women are. By
shaving every morning she could pass
for a regular Lydia Pinkham.
Nevertheless, the love of the glass
blower was fragile and in due time it
cracked. He had gained possession of
his bride's little fortune at the start
and now he began to waste her sub
stance In riotous living. He bought
crazy oil stocks and he bet money on
the slow horses. Came a day when
he went broke. The wife had no more
coin and the husband packed his gr'p
and left. The woman could no longer
support him in the style to which
he had been accustomed.
She knew no other occupation than
that of a bearded lady. Che had never
taken up stenography and she was
useless in a manicure parlor. Whis
kers had brought her gold and glory,
but her dalliance with a. safety razor
had left her shorn indeed. Yet she
is not as one without hope.
Whiskers will grow, even without
much irrigation.
Accordingly, the woman, now pen
niless, has sought the seclusion of a
jail, where she Is again giving her
whiskers carte blanche. When they
are long enough she will return to
the show and her meal ticket.
Likewise, she has the hope that her
beard may yet lure the fickle hus
band back to her side.
Love will find a way.
Another time she will know enough
to leave razors alone.

BEIRUT, Syria. A trade fair will
be held here this month, organized
by the French, who are completing
the military occupation of this new
colony or possession.
It is pointed out that Syria, If
given a chance, will become as rich
as portions of It were in ancient times
during peaceful epochs when the Ro
mans dominated Its peoples. Its soil,
like much of western Asia, is rich
enough, but what Is needed is the
peace that will let its peoples work,
with the hope of holding their earn
ings. The territory reaching from Con
stantinople to Egypt 13 sprinkled
with the ruins of past civilizations,
of prosperous cities such as Tyre and
Sidon of the Phoenicians, which at
test to the development or ancient
times. The Germans, with their Bag
dad railway scheme, had realized
what might be done again to repeopie
and refructify this great region and
the French are planning.in, the same
manner, though not on so ambitious a
scale as the Germans, whose object
was to control, virtually, the old Ot
toman empire and reach on to the
Persian gulf.

Twenty-Seven Victims of War Are

The body of Corporal Fred T. Mer
rill Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred T.
Merrill, 1101 East Stark street, who
was killed at Chateau Thierry, will
arrive in Portland for burial tomor
row, according to information re
ceived by. the local quartermaster's
office. The body will arrive with
those of 27 other soldiers who were
killed overseas during the recent war.
Corporal Merrill was -a member -of
company M, 23d Infantry. He was a
graduate of the Glencoe school and
a student of Washington high school.
The other bodies include that of
Private Frank L. Gaddis of Portland.
He met his death while serving with
company E, 16th infantry. The body
of Private Ronald E. Smith, who died
while serving in France with com
pany A, second machine gun battal
ion, will also arrive at that time.
The body of a fourth Portland soldier,

Charles J. Cameron Will Serve
Term for Eloping With
Feebie-Minded Girl.
Charles J. Cameron, 55-year-old
white slaver, . resident of Chehalis,
Wash., yesterday was sentenced by
Judge Bean of federal court to serve
three years on McNeil's island. The
sentence was one of the heaviest im
posed for violations of the Mann act
in recent months.
Cameron was convicted on three
counts of an indictment charging him
with transporting Mary Alvls, a
young inmate of the state home for
the feeble-minded at Salem to Wash
ington for immoral purposes. A jury
which first considered the case trailed
to agree on a verdict. Cameron was
employed as a heating engineer at the
institute at the time- he persuaded
the girl to elope with him. The case
created widespread interest at the
first trial, scores of witnesses being
called for both the government and
the defense.
The convicted man was roundly
scored by Judge Bean in pronouncing
sentence. The Judge said:
"I cannot conceive of any excuse
for a man- intrusted with the care of
feeble-minded, assisting a girl of ten
der years to escape and transporting
her from one state to another, living
with her the way the testimony
showed the defendant did. It is a
case which does not warrant any len
iency." The conviction was considered as a
great victory for the government, in
asmuch as many influential men had
Interested themselves in Cameron's
behalf.
"The heavy sentence will serve as
a lesson to those who think that they
can break the laws of the United
States at will," said Austen Flegel
Jr., assistant United States attorney,
who conducted the prosecution. "It
will Ids a warning to the seducers of
young girls, and will, I think, put a
damper on the activities of white
slavers.

No one outstanding problem con
fronts the church today but any num
ber of vital questions must be dealt
with If, the church fulfills Its ,mls
Bion, according to the combined views
of a number of Methodist bishops at
tending the semi-annual meeting of
the board of . bishops in Portland
when interviewed yesterday on what
they considered as one of the biggest
questions before the church.
Practically without exception they
qualified their selection of a problem
as one of many questions of great
Importance. No two looked upon the
matter In quite the same light but
their answers indicated a broadness
of view that is not confined to one
locality or one sect but to the entire
world and the present-day conditions
that constitute great international
and national problems.
Provincialism Held Curse.
One of the greatest needs of each
individual church community is to
comprehend its true relationship with
the remainder of the world and strive
to maintain Its part in building up
world relationships, in the opinon of
Rshon Homer C. Stunt of Umana.
The greatest curse of tne cnurcn
today is Its provincial attitude, ae
clared Bishop Stuntz. "There is too
great a tendency toward localized
ideas. Each community sees Its own
needs but to the exclusion rather
than the realization of the needs of
other parts of the world.
"To do its full part each church
community must take into considers
tion the world needs as well as its
own and work toward making It bet
ter in all ways in business, educa
tion, commerce, industry, all the ways
that affect human welfare and
throw in its work of saving souls in
the bargain.
World Tasks Fared.
The task of evangelism can never
be fully understood until we visual
ize a non-Christian world and set
ourselves the task of recruiting
enough followers to bring in an en
tire Christian nation. Only Dy iook
lnar uDon each church community as
a recruiting ground and training
school for a world programme can
we really hold the attention of
thoughtful men."
The reinstatement of Christ In the
hearts of each individual constitutes
one of the biggest tasks of the church
at the present time, in the opinion of
Bishop William Burt of Buffalo. The
individual brought to right ways of
living is the most efficient means of
overcoming any form of social wrong,
according to his view.
Christian Viewpoint rrsred.
"Qur problem is to reinstate Christ
in all our human life the home, busi
ness andaall our eocial relations," said
Bishop Burt. "If there is anything
wrong , with the community get the
individuals right first and then you
can look to the other to right itself.
The permeating influence of Christian
character accomplishes a wonderful
work. The man whose life reflects
his religion reaches all those about
him in a more effective way than
anything that one can preach or say.
'As a church and as Individuals in
the church we believe we must take
tha whole world into our programme
We must have the brotherhood of
man before us not in theory but In
practice. . So many today think that
the New Testament is not applicable
to modern problems. That is a wrong
impression, for its teachings were
never more needed or more effective
than they are today.
Industry Situation Problem.
The present industrial situation is a
great problem for the church at this
time, in the opinion of Bishop Francis
McConnell of Pittsburg, whose area
includes perhaps the greatest indus
trial section in the entire country.
We must get the right attitude
toward social and industrial ques
tions," Bishop McConnell stated. "At
this time there is apparently a re
action of public sentiment , in favor
of the more favored classes. The
church has to be very careful not to
lose sympathy with the laboring
people.
"We are showing enough interest
on the part of our own people, but
not enough toward other groups. We
must strive for real justice and
avoid an attitude which would pre
vent us from so doing."
Chrlstianlzation Is Need.
Bishop Ernest L Waldorf of Wich
ita regards the Christianization of our
industrial and international relations
as one of the greatest things lor
which the church can work.
'The destructive question of our
day is the industrial problem," said
Bishop Waldorf. "The friction and
misunderstanding between employers
and employes as manifested in strikes
has cost the nation an. average of
$5,000,000 a day during the last 18
months.
"Its real cause lies in the failure of
both parties to recognize and deal
with the other as fellow men rather
than at tools or as pay checks. All
are the children of the same father
and must approach the same problem
