Politicians and the ICplscopal church, as represented by Dr. J. J. Sellwood, loi'kfd horns In Juntlce HpII'b court ys terdny Bfternoon In a . vigorous fight over the sum of $1.74, Interest on a fee for the Incorporation of Rt. John's Me morial Episcopal church, two years ago. There was a notable array of lawyers In the cane.- On one side was Qeorg Joseph, state senator; Bert Haney, chair man of the Democratic state central committee, and Clau-nicks. On the other side was Edwin (3. Amme. state representative, K. I Moses, who wss a member of the clerical force of the last assembly, and Clyde Richardson. De bate was warm and clashes frequent, but tbe final result was a verdict against Dr. Sellwood for the Interest of 11.74 and costa of $9,115. The history of the memorable suit dates back two years when D. M. Don-, aurh, a member of tho executive board under Mayor Itnne, performed the legal work In connection with the Incorpora tion of the church. Dr. Sellwood, chair man of the vestry, assumed tho debt of IS6 In this connection. Donaugh later turned over the bill to Moses for col lection. Dr. Sellwood agreed to pay It at the rate of ii a mnnih. hut when It came to the lnut payment, Mosos de manded Interest and Dr. Sellwood de clined to pay It. Moses then appealed to Bishop Scad cllnK. The latter replied that It was a matter with which he couTd not Inter fere, and that payment of the Interest rented with Dr. Pellwood. He added that If the church hml applied to the chancellor of the diocese It rovilil have necurod Incorporation papers free of charge. With Dr. Sellwood obdurate and Moses determined to collect that $1.74, the matter was carried Into JuRtlce court. Dr. Sellwood retained the firm of Jo seph & Haney and also Claude Hicks to defend him. Moses brought Amme aV Richardson Into court to assist him In the effort to wrest the $1.74 from Dr. Kellwood. ' see before me iomn shining lights lti the future tepral world." commented Judtre Hell, as he rendered the verdict In favor of Moses. "Young men who will fight so hard for the principle In volved In $1.74 have great careers be fore them." Wall GETS STEVENS? Street Reports Engineer Engaged by Jfival Rcfad."

FRUIT BLOSSOMS IN v " WILLAMETTE VALLEY DAMAGED BY, FROST Mr. Stevens' resignation ss President of the Hpokano, Portland A Seattle, the Oregon Trunk Railway and other Hl'.l lines In Oregon, and the appointment of his successor, wan announced Saturday from St. Louis, but he. has so far de clined to give any Inkling as to his future plana excepting that he Intends taking a well deserved rest. Including possiDiy a snort trip to Europe. It Is believed here' that whll Mr. Stevens has already accepted some of fice even more Important than tbat ho held here, ha Js waiting for the an nouncement to come from those who made the appointment. Mr. Stevens Is out of the city today. It Is probable that considerable damage by frost was dona to 4 fruit blossoms In the Willamette valley and tn the Yakima coun- try. Warnings -were sent out last evening by the weather of- flea at Portland to Yakima valley and other northern points, but 4 frost In the Willamette valley was unexpected. . There was no frost in the Rogue River valley, or even south of Salem. No advices have -been received irom Hood River. but It Is thought that no frost occurred there. The fruit that will have auf- fered wss cherries and peaches, 4 though the damage will not be serious, as fruit growers say that while the first blossoms If not damaged bring fortb the finest fruit, there are always too many blossoms snyway, and that Inter buds will como out and the fruit 4 will be as plentiful. So that the 4 only real damage will be to delay the crop slightly.
