(Special Dispatch to Tbr Journal.) Pendleton, Or., April 10. Declaring that the modern church Is divided Into too many sects and denominations, and advocating amalgamation of these dif ferent branches into one broad church. Bishop Paddock, of the eastern Oregon diocese of the Episcopal church, last evening surprised the congregation of the local Episcopal church. He did not go into the subject extensively, but was emphatic in what he did say. He asserted that competition among de nominations which differ only on minor points is undesirable and does not re sult in maximum good. When amalgamation is secured, he said, there will he less starving churcs and starving ministers. Rov. Charles I Quinney of the local church does not concur in the views of his superior and stated this morning he could not accept such a union unleR all other denominations would adopt the Episcopal creed. "We have union now," he stated. "We all believe fundamentally in the Trinity, which Is Ihe unifying essential, and differ only on minor details of doctrine and creeds." MEXICO LANDS E NTRY , Washington, April 10. Announcing the discovery of enormously valuable coal deposits in northwestern New Mex ico, .tHe department of the interior to day withdrew 1,576,064 acres from entry., pi. i i. i line. No claJnis In this particular sec tion have ever been entered. It is re Presiding Judge Oantenbein of the cir cuit court held this morning in passing upon the case of the city against the Inman-Poulaah Laimber company that the city has the right and title to the streets now occuple.d by the lumber concern. This is considered one of the most lmpo.tant suite started by the city, and will go to the supreme court, It is said. The fight to have the lumber company acknowledge the city's ownership of the streets was started during the adminis tration of ex-Mayor Iane. The present suit was filed by City Attorney Grant and Assistant City Attorney Benbow. j Attorney George Shepherd represented the lumber company. The company has used part of the streets for the last 22 years, and' the mill stands on some of them, while lumber sheds are spread over others. Point in Hsue. One chief point upon which Judge Oantenbein found in favor of the city was the set of the lumber company on January 22, 1908, wherein It filed nine petitions with the city council for the vacation of the streets. The court held this was practically acknowledging the streets as public thoroughfares. The company contended thnt the plat con taining the streets was not properly ac cepted by the city, and the streets were not legally dedicated,' in that the state ment was not made In the proceedings that the streets were dedicated. In re gard to this Judge. Gantenbeln ruled: "Dedication by express words Is not necessary. If lots and blocks are sold by the owner with reference to a plat made by the owner, and such plat Is recorded, It constitutes irrevocable ded ication of the streets and alleys, for the use of the public, and formal acceptance by the public Is not necessary." Company's Sid. 'The company contended that it had expended large sums of money in im proving the mill and lumber sheds ovet the streets, and the city permitted this without protest, and that In view of this situation the question of equitable estop pel should be Invoked against the city. The Judge held that the company is estopped in claiming any private owner ship of the streets by reason of the acceptance of deeds of the property wherein the property Is expressly de scribed as being subject to the street easement: by the execution of mort gages with the same provision; by the failure to pay taxes on property In the streets; by paying special street assess ments; by making application to the council, designating the property In dis pute as streets, and asking to have- them vacated. City Attorney Grant says, In his brief on the case: "The city only desires, at the present time, that these defendants recognize ffs street rights by accepting from the city permltB to occupy the streets, until such time as the city Wishes to open them. In the near fu ture, It Is plain from the sums demand- SPECTACULAR DA H LEADS TO DEATH H. II.

Not since rush orders were Issued for American troops and warships to hasten to the Mexican frontier has there teen as great Interest excited as today -when a Mexico City dispatch confirmed circumstantially United Press reports which showed that Japan was the secret foe whose aggres sions were guarded against by that call to arms.

The Mexico City dispatch, whlcn was sent to the New York Sun. related In detail that late In February Ambassador Wilson for a few hours obtained a copy of th secret Japanese-Mexican treaty and that he photographed certain parts These provided that Japan should be allowed coaling stations for her com mercial steamers and that the Japanese should be permitted to colonize there. They a.o provided that Japan should have the privilege' of maneuvering In Magdalenu bay? Th clauses Wilson Is said to have photographed set forth that Mexico and Jspan had mutual interests In the Pa cific. They did not stipulate for an of fensive and defensive alliance, but dip lomatically stated that It was to Ja pan's Interest to protect Mexico from aggression. The treaty had been rati fied by President Diaz and his cabinet Mobilization Ordered. The very day after he obtained his photographs, the dispatch says, Am bassador Wilson started for Washing ton. When he arrived he went direct to the cabinet room, where President Taft and his advisers were in session. General Wood was summoned at ones and that night the mobilization was or dered. Next day, the dispatch says.
