At 10:30 o'clock, with the acceptance

ttorney Fitzgerald began the opening
atement of what he expects to prove,
e outlined the relations existing be
t ween. Mrs. Kersh and Webb, as shown
t y the tewtimony of previous trials, de
; -f-rtbed the manner In which the woman
1 icked. up Johnson in Spokane and pro

The prosecutor then gave the" story of

in examining the last . Juror selected,
Oorge Whitaker. He said that under
the theory of the state, Mrs. Kersh is

evidence would have to be very

t:nd he was taken as the twelfth man.
Whitaker sat as a member of another
j iry that tried a woman for murder
13 years ago. He served in the trial

killed a negro in her resort. At the
first trial the jury disagreed and in

that the statute under which Ross ras
convicted ha been On the statute book
for 50 years without any actions being
brought under it and that aside from all
this Ross had been sufficiently punished

of a call to the Rutgers Presbyterian

The announcement came at the-close

address the Brotherhood convention of
the Presbyterian church at St. Louis and
will rnjpet the pulpit supply committee
of Rutgers church in New York. : 1 .
Who will succeed Dr. Foulkes at the
local church is not yet Itnown, nor is it
likely that any selection wlll.be made
for some time. A committee of 10 mem
bers of the local church will be named,
who will be empowered to' make a
choice and considerable time will be
necessary to find a person suitable. ,
-. Expects Able Successor.
" The Portland church can and will get
a very high man in Presbyterian' cir
cles," said Dr. Foulkes this morning,
"for it is a church that Warrants it In
addition to that, Portland is, much liked
I as a residence town by the ministers.
However, the place will not be open for
a man seeking It for in the words of one
of the officer of my church. The man

FNRLY M RACE
Eaten and Husk in L
Neither Has Assured Grip
on Ciiiec.
Members of the House of Representa
tives from different, sections of tha
state, who are drifting into Portland to
! look things over, uny that the speaker of
the bouse haa not been elected, yet
They say that "things are up In the
air" and that they Co not know who will
be the lucky man, though they all admit
that liaton of Lane, and Rusk of Wallo
wa, are the two leader in the race at
this time. . . . ,
Eaton's friends say that the Lane
county roan has 33 votes an his pocket
now and that there is .nothing further
left to do but to go up to Salem and
have them counted. But several of thesa
same men who have been ; listed and
takked by the .Jiaton boosters are among
the list who axe frana In their declara
tions that they do not know what Is go
ing to happen, which fact complicate
matters and cast much doubt on the
assertion that all Eaton has to do Is to
count his ballot. There are some mem
bers who are unkind enough to say that
Eaton has not half of S3 votes favorable
to him and that less than that number
are actually pledged. .
E.ux Also at JSea.
Rusk Is in much the same situation;
He has friends, a good many of them
and he has some votes pledged to him.
But he has more that will be with him,
provided that the owners of the votes
come teethe conclusion that with their
help Rusk can make the speakership.
The fact of tho matter is that the
speakership fight is in a nebulous condi
tion. Both Rusk and Eaton have a nucle
us of votes and the future alone can tell
which nucleus will prove the strongest
magnet Eaton is claiming the majority
of Multnomah county.' and some Of the
men he Is claiming say they have made
no pledge to anyone. Henry McKlnney
Of, Baker county, who is. candidate, is
thinking of stepping out and throwing
his support to Rusk. So there you are.
Take your pick. It is an even guess.
Turning -to the senate, ; Senator Jay
Bowerman Is scheduled to reach Port
land this evening to make hi official
entrance into the fight for the presi
dency. C. W. Fulton and other of his
old backers have been out working for
him for several days. - "
Bowerman's friends contend that they
believe their man has a good chance.
They contend that Bowerman is a good
manipulator and thajt. he will be able to
line up the necessary 16 votes. ,
. . Bark Horse Tossibi. '
Selling's friends say that Selling has
IS votes already pledged. If he has, he
is elected, for that number is a ma
jority of the senate. But there I an
other rumor and it Is that Bowerman
may be able to at least block Selling
and make it finally, necessary for the
senate to light - on : some new man.
Rumor says that Dan J. Malarkey 1 the
new man. Malarkey says be Is for Sell
ing. Another rumor says, that N. J. Sin.
the dark horse. He, however, is a Sell
ing man, . But if, by any means, tb
contest could be deadlocked, there would
be nothing to prevent either Malarkey or
Slnnott emerging from the scrimmage
with the presidency under his arm. s
So, it looks like Selling for president,
now. but it is several days yet until the
senate will organise, and there is an old
adage about the cup and the lip. - '

Pester cf Taylor Strcst r.'cth-
cdist Church Takes for His
Tcpis, "Tho Tremendous
Ouht" Last Evcnir.3. .
Taking for his test "Te Ooght to
Walk to Plf ae ' God," Rev. Benjamin
Toung, pastor of the Taylor Stroet
Methodist church, preached a powerful
sermon to his large congregation .last
evening. '"The Tremendous "Ought"
was his; topic. . ' - -
Students of human life have dis
covered in it the presence of certain
great imperatives," he sattd. " "There is
tn imperative mood In human expert-,
en co. Imbedded in the mind ia a some
thing which at times speaks with, com
manding authority. Thera is a law
written la the heart of man. The voice
which speaks often to, one' inner life
U the voice of God. :
"There are some things' . which we
ought to do; there .are many things
which we ought not toMa There is an
'oughtnessf , in life of which every man
must take cognizance. I do not mean
that fatalism, or anything akin ot it
is the order of the world- Men are
free and so oelieve themselves There
is an imperative which commands men
for the right and for the true. It is
grounded in the constitution of being.
It is hot paradoxical to speak of the ra
tionality Of the Intuitions. . ,
Kor Practical Religion. ,
' Tew men are moral philosophers in
the theoretical Bense, and yet all men
feel the "tmperiousness of thla 'ought'
principle. It ia a sufficient appeal for
the average man to say that there are
some things which he ought to do.
Often this is more important than
argument It is not so much mora
theory which we need; it is more moral
practice. It is not more theology which
the world orvthe church needs, but more
practical religion. There is a place in
modern life for moral dogmatism. We
have been afraid Of dogmatic and for
feaf of it In some Quarters there is a
lack of mrffal instructions ; . ;
"The great Greek teacher thundered
In the Athenian market place the truth
which he felt , He would have the
Greeks know themselves and heed the
law ot the, inner life. He asserted the
authority f the moral law written
within men. He said that there could
be no development for man if he trans
gressed the higher laws of being. There
was a universal law .of conscience to
which men must give hsed.
v - Adjusted to Divins Scheme.
"You may wear yourself out in your
business; you may go to the shop or to
the office seven days in the week or
365 days in the year, but that will not
satisfy the deeper desire of your nar
ture. Man 1 adjusted to . a divine
scheme. . A study of his nature speak
this. It la unnatural to suppose that
the divine plan terminate in. this ma
terial, selfish and perishing world. Let
men stop and reet Let men open the
windows of the soul. Let men give the
worshipful withirr them a chance. Let
men look up at the blue sky once in a
while. It is 10 this way that men grow
and become "white and tair a the Km
of God. v
"It is important that men heed the
imperative of prayer. 'Men ought al
ways to pray,1 say one authority. The
spirit of reverence makes for the en
largement of life. - It is natural for the
child to pray and every father loves to
see his child at prayer.v A heavenly
glow is kindled In the mother heart as
she teaches her child to pray. In the
prayer of David, Helena Ritchie, say
Margaret Deland, found herself and was
glorified, In obedience to the call which
has surged within hint many a man on
hi knee has found God and the path
way to the noblest life. , : V
, "Now every one of u know some
thing of the Imperative of work. We
say if a man will , not work he ought
not to eat There ia a homely philosophy
in the scriptural proverb on working and
eating. , Nature scoiys and contemn the
lazy man. Success comes to no man.
He must go after it Work depreciate
no man. Idleness and tlstlessness are
dangerous and may be fatal to a man. We
are in the world to work. There is a
ringing Imperative which comes to men
to give their splendid powers to tasks
and Job which mean not only theteo
cnmulation of wealth for us all, but
which mean stored up Joy and happiness
la the coming day.

and allied roads will have on the var
ious official positions has not yet been
announced, and it has unofficially been
stated that very few changes will be
made in the operating ', departments,
with the exception of adding additional
Jurisdiction to some of the officers. It
is understood that the operating and
auditing headquarters of the merged
roads will, be located in Portland, or
in other words that the wort will be

peal to me. This is given in the great
words of the master at Sychar. 'I must
work the work of htm that sent me
while it is day, for the night oemeth,
when no man can work.' But greatest
of all is the oughtness fir the impera
