I Eugene, Or., July ,15. The first an'
nnal conference of ministers of Oregon,
designed to Include all denominations,
closed here today, after' a week of meet
lugs, under the direction of Rev. John It
Boyd of the, First Presbyterian church
of Portland. The principal speakers to
day were 1 Bishop Charles . Scadding , of
the Episcopal diocese of Oregon, Key,
Jtv. F. A. AsarOf the First Baptist
church of Portland,' and Professor
George Rebeo of the university. The
nramer school of the University of Ore
gon has been host to the preachers dur
ing their convention.
1.. ."Church Xtomity and Union" was the
subject taken up as tne cnraax to me
discussion of the week, which had cov
ered many 'aspects of the minister's
problem, church efficiency and spiritual
and moral education. , sir. Agar ais
ssed several possible ways of ef'
tsctlng closer cooperation between
churches, - but considered" the' most im
mediately effective and most practicable
to be the formation of agreements not
to duplicate work, or equipment la those
mmmnnlttM which are too Small to af-
r ford a church for each denomination.
Union at present he characterised as
t -
ja Impossibility.
Bishop Soaddlng took a longer view
1 Ahead, and speculated on the possiMH
us of distant times to come. He de
I plored . the exlstenoe of 200 separate
t sects as a mockery on the idea Of Christ
I "The Episcopal churoh holds , unique
position as a mediator for unity. For
her she stands with all the essentials of
Catholicity, but with a friendly com
radeship with our Protestant brethren
which no other ohuroh has.
"Surely we may hop that God has
srome purpose for ua In this effort for
reunion, and therefore w must be care
ful that our position is guarded so that
neither the Catholio nor Protestant side
of it be lost. For the present any dls
cusslon of the subject. with the Roman
rCatholle church is outside practical pol
itics, but to do anything that will build
a Insuperable bar to union with the
vast Greek and Roman churches, when-
lver tb day for that union shall come.
1s- not to further the unity for which
Christ nrayed."
;jl Sr. Boyd and other clergymen present
Vat the conference expressed themselves
ism convinced of the great value of such
t conference, and the university will be
f asked to extend its hospitality ' again
next year.

Day-by-day peculations, covered from
time to time by loans from concerns
that take Hens on salaries, complicated
by high living and the probable lnflu
enoe .of a woman, contributed to. the
downfall of Elmore McKenxle, to years
old. assistant superintendent of the
money order division of the Portland
postoffloe, who is In Jail today follow
ing his arrest late yesterday by xeaerai
marshals.
Postmaster Frank Myers declared this
morning that some woman whose name
McKenzie had refused to give him, was
largely responsible for the financial
straits that impelled McKensie to "bor
row" from the funds in his custody.
McKensie at the Jail this morning de
nled that any woman was concerned in
any way.
Altogether, McKenaie's shortages
amount to $(16.16, according to the
findings of Postofflce Inspector Durand,
who was called in when Mr. Myers had
secured from McKensie a statement in
which he is said to have admitted the
irregularities.
Shortage Zs Pound.
The marl's arrest was precipitated
when Postmaster Myers received from
the department at Washington letters
inaulring about a money order Issued to
an Austrian, later lost and supposedly
replaced by McKensie. This letter came
Wednesday and Mr. Myers at once set
about Investigating. He hastily checked
over the department and found a short
age, his figures being later verified by
the inspector.
Mr. Myers found that McKenzie had
reissued the order as requested by the
Austrian, who had secured the first
order for f 100 to take with him back
to the old country to avoid the danger
of oarrying the money in cash. Instead
of forwarding the duplicated order to
the purchaser, however, McKenzie de
stroyed it, the records on the stub and
the duplicates remaining to show ap
parently that the proceeding was regu
lar. This left the money "in the air"
and It Is alleged that McKenne pocketed
it.
Several letters then passed betwees
McKenzie and the Austrian, it Is alleged,
the latter finally losing patience and
appealing to the postofflce department
of bis own country. The Austrian de
partment sent a tracer to the depart
ment at Washington, which traced the
order back to Portland.-
Mr. Myers' investigation, of the money
order led to the discovery of the missing
cash and be at once turned McKensie
over to Inspector Durand, who went
over the hooks and cash.
At one time he took 1300 out of the
till," declared Mr. Durand this morning.
That was only a few months aao. The
peculations have been going on for a
year and a half. He intended to nay
It all back and had replaced sums -from
time to tlma Had it not been for the
money order matter, he might have got
ten away with the thefts for some time."
McKenzie has made no arrangements
to furnish ball. He said this moraine
he had not consulted an attorney and
could not say what hs expected to do.
He thought his father would come t'o
his aid. but said he had not communi
cated with im. ' Whether he would
stand examination ebefore the United
States commissioner or waive this hear
ing and make his pleading direct to the
court, he would not say.
"I was Just foolish, that was all," he
said in his cell. "I had no intention of
doing wrong and expected to pay it all
back. All the talk about a woman In
the -case Is not true. Nobody is to
blame but myself. I hope to get out of
this trouble, but if I don't, I'll take my
meaicine.
The law prescribes a fine at least
least equal to the amount embezzled and
a prison. term of not to exceed 10 yeara
"He made a clean breast of the whole
thing to me," said Postmaster Myers
