. ' I'aul Rader, from char km made by
-Dr. Clarence True Wilson of Grace
Methodist church and others reflecting
on Rader's handling; of the affaire of
: me league. . Dr. Wilson, haying failed
', .to substantiate any of his charges,
v abruptly left for California several
days ago. Superintendent Kader was
' yesterday reelected . by the beadquar-
,, lere committee.
The. charges by Dr. Wilson Involved
Mr. Rader's , honesty and veracity, as
well as his. .fitness In other : respects
for the office' of suDerlntendent of the
.1 1-ague... The- committee. In making;" -the
., InvestlraMon. rave Dr. Wilson full op-
ortunlty to bring evidence substan
tiating; his statements, and '-when be
failed so to do It dug Info the matters
lie had alleged, secured letters to
' which he had made reference and em'
' ployed George T. Murton, an expert ao,
countahV to examine the booka of the
superintendent's office. The full report
- of their Investigations was laid before
the board of trustees yesterday after
noon at the Taylor Street Methodist
church and adopted without a dissenting
.veice. Tbr board then elected air.
Rader superintendent for another Tear.

consUtutlon of . : the league . . with

and with the ' duty of seeing
that the business of the league. Is eon
ducted In an-honest and eyatematlo
manner, beg to report as follows: ,
. "As to the , present financial con
ditions: Under the direction of the su
bcommittee, the books of the league have
been examined by an expert accountant
: (George T. Murton). The accountant's
report la voluminous document, going
ilnto minute details, and may be exam
ined by any trustee at his leisure.- The
summaries of this, report . harmonise
With the previous financial report of
our auditing committee. .However, the
accountant's report says:
- "There is a deplorable laok ef system
throughout the whole set of books, mak
ing u almost Impossible te arrive at the
true condition of afaflrs. The books
have evidently been handled by someone
who knew little or nothing about ac
counting, and this has made It extremely
difficult to check up the books' with any
degree of satisfaction. However, I have
not been able to find any Indications' of
fraudulent entries; the errors seem to
be errors of omission and errors In the
principles of accounting. - Prom the ged-
w ere l appearance or ino doors, i ao nui
leyileve any erroneous 'entries were tn-
- tenuonewiy mane wun a view m urwiT
-conceal or defraud." In this connection
-V It ir but lair to state that the books
were not kept by Mr: Rader. but rather
, . by office employes, who-were not-eom-'
petent bookkeepers.., 1 ' i''

larities, lit the estimation of the audit

"Ttween the headquarters committee of

- .tee, because the constitution of ths
' league very clearly sets forth the duty
of the " headquartera -,. committee In

' 'they' were at least equally responsible

Bo Money from' Browne. .
"As to the allegations affecting the
character and touching the methods of
.the superintendent In conducting the
affairs of the office. First: As to the
lite received from the city for the
' defense of Detectives Kay and Burke
,w find that 110 was retained by the
detectives to cover the costs snd IIS
' paid Into the league as attorney's fee
', We find nothing Irregular In the mat
' ter, except the complaint of the ettor
- ney, who was under salary from the
' league, to the effect that this money
should have gone to apply on his sal
ary, rather than Into the treasury of
the leagus. ''
; , - "Second In regard to the 1600 Item
alleged to have been paid by Jonathan
Bourne to ' 'Mr. Paul Rader, O. A. U,'
. Dr. Clarence True Wilson, who made
i .the charge before the board, has failed
' to produce any evidence that Jonathan
Bourne gave $600 to ths league and ao
. knowledge to members of your com
mlttee that he . was misinformed snd
' the oommltitj,- upon the strictest In
qulry, has not been sble to find 'eiy
x ' evldenco from any other source that any
.such sum was contributed "by, Mr.
Bourne, i ' 1
Third As to the allegation that the
In question was contributed to the
league by another party, we And that
such an amount was receive a oy Mr.
Rader, but the preponderance of evi
dence agrees that It was received by
him In connection , with a business
transaction of a personal ' nature,
-, , Beoelpte AH Credited. '
.''"As to ths sundry Items alleged to
have been received by the superintend
ent and not credited: . - ;
"FirstThe witness referred to by Dr.
Clarence True Wilson, regarding two
such Items In Balem. appeared before
the committee and stated that be had
presented for collection a subscription
for ft and found It had been paid to a
collector of the league early last year;
that one other small collection against
another party In Salem was not pre
sented Tor the reason that he thought
probably It had also been paid. These
were both subscriptions made prior to !
Mr.' Rader's administration, J
"Second As to slleged Irregularities '
In the crediting of subscriptions ' taken '
by Field Worker Ovall. Mr. Ovall tes
tified that he did not knew of a alngle
complaint, and stated positively that i
Dr. Clarence True Wilson must have ;
misunderstood him.' - I

, Bo oUtioal letters WHtten.
Concerning the alleged Improper use
of the office In furthering the interests
Of Mr. Bourne1 and other candidates
First: That tha letters alleged to
haiie been sent out ot the office In the
Interest of Mr. Bourne were not sent
out by Mr. Rader, but by Mr. McAllis
ter In the absence of the superinten
dent) that the letters were not written
on the letter heads of the league, but
on plain paper and signed by. Bishop
Barclay of the united Rretnren church,
Second: That the office and mailing
list of the league were used by Dr.
Clarence True Wilson and other mem
bers of the board In the Interests of
Mr. Carter, who was a. candidate fof
state treasurer and. while the commit
tee would not Justify this use of the
office for' political purposes. It is but
justice to Mr. Rsder to say that he was
not responsible or accountable for the
use or misuse In question.
, S6t Spent Bis hra Wads, i
As to tha causes which led up to the
present- financial conditions, ' wo find
that Immediately following the engage
ment of Mr. Rader by the headquarters
eemmittee of last year-sumo very active
work was necessary to get Into the
churches of this city and of the state,
and was Immediately followed by the
nght for the defeat or the liquor deal
ers', amendment to the local option law;
that no adequate provision was made
for the campaign sxpenaes of the super
intendent and his field staff; that as a
matter o- fact the superintendent did.
spend his own private funds during the
campaign; that but a vary small part of
bis .salary- has been paid; that In order
to meet actual Irving expenses he has
had to sell a lot and earn money by
doing literary work. We also find that
by reason of the failure of the head
quarters committee to provide a plan
for raising funds, that campaign bills,
which have proven a great . source of
embarrassment and annoyance to the
superintendent, are still unpaid and the
undersigned committee wonder at and
commend his fidelity under all these dis
heartening circumstances. .
Finally, we find nothing fraudulent
or olanonest In the management of the
league or lta funds1 by Paul Rader, Ha
superintendent; and we find further
that his efforts 'on behalf of Uo league
during the campaign of last summer
and the masterly manner In which he
conducted the campaign agalnat the li
quor dealers' amendment to the local op
tion Jaw were the prime factors In its
defeat 'Respectfully submitted.' '

. tullo. special committee.'
K. Nelson Allen, J. J. Ross, S. Quacken
bush, R. Kelly, E. 8. Buckley, head
"quarters committee.' '
, Wrongfully Aoensed.
In preparing the written report of the
findings ot the headquarters committee
to the board of trustees, the charge
that Mr. Rader had uttered a falsehood'
to the nominating committee In stating
that Dr.i Clarence True Wilson would!
not be a candidate for reelection to the
presidency of the leaarue, was Inadvert
ently omitted and . was made verbally
before the truatees yesterday. -
The committee reported that Mr. Wil
son had stated In the presence ef Mr.
Rader and .one of the trustees that he
would not aiana lor reelection; that the
church board would not allow hire the
necessary time to attend to the work;
that Mr. Wilson hart repeatedly atated
the same thing to the headquarters com
mittee and that- when confronted with
the evidence, he bad frankly admitted
that he had made such statements and
been mistaken In making that charge
against Mr. Rader.
