Matthews of Seattle, former moderator of 'the Presbyterian church of America in an interview with the United Press here today refuted the charge of Senator Sherman that the League of Nations would be dominated by the Catholics, i , "Because individual members of the Roman Catholic church are members of the League of Nations does not indicate that "Vatican qr the pope -will be offi cially .represented in the league," Dr. Matthews eatd. , "They wilj not be sent to the League of Nations to represent their church, but to represent their country. It would be unfair to say that the individuals from" Protestant countries and who are members of Protestant churches, repre sent the Protestant forces of the league. rrvLeninusm, , as an organization, is not trying to dominate the League of 'Nations, nor shall , Roman Catholicism dominate it. : The pope and the ; Vati can, representing the hierarchy of . the Roman Catholic church, have no place and will not have a seat nor a voice in the league. . "Senator Sherman is not rendering a patriotic service when he injects relig ious prejudice into his premature dis cussion of the League of Nations.

In less than a month Columbia basin champions will try to rip the moss and dignity from the solemnly absurVl "sacred railroad rate, struc ture" which treats hazardous moun tain routes between th elnland Em pire and Puget sound as though they were as safe, inexpensive and short as the Columbia water grade. On July 21 three members of the In terstate .Commerce commission will be gin in Portland. the hearing of the ap peal for rates between ports of - the Columbia and the Inland Empire that will be based on the lower cost of trans portation. t People of the interior, of Portland and of other Columbia . ports; should realize that then a .desperate battle will begin which should have the in telligent and loyal backing of all whose interests are involved in Columbia basin development, . say heads of the organizations that appear in the com plaint filed with the Interstate Com merce commission. Inland Empire Interests are repre sented directly by the Inland -Empire Shippers leagrue, of which Dr. C. J. Smith, Umatilla county grain grower, is president. The league asks for a rate based on the cost of transporta tion and holds that every grain grower is forced to pay unnecessary tribute on every bushel of wheat 'shipped, under the: present arbitrary and artificial rate arrangement.

In order that the validity of the act passed by the recent legislature creating a court of domestic relations might be tested out in . the courts, Governor Olcott today appointed Jacob - Kanzler judge of the courtln Portland, fol lowing receipt of am opinion from Attorney General Brown. Brown's opinion holds that much of the act is apparently unconstitutional. Some of it, particularly that relating to the care of dependent children, he declares, may possibly be upheld by the courts. Two methods for- testing the validity of the law are suggested by the attor ney general. One of these is through mandamus proceedings started by some citisen of Multnomah county to com pel the appointment of a judge of , the court. Another method la for an . ap pointment to be made Immediately and thus giving right and jurisdiction of the court to exercise powers conferred by the statute, which could be properly auestioned by proceeding in nabeas COrpUS. !'.';: The attorney general in tils pinion in c lined toward the mandamus proceed' inas. but after conference with the gov ernor, following receipt of the opinion, it was agreed that the appointment of a ludcre at this time would expedite the matter and probably hasten the real test of the law's validity, hence the appoint ment of Kanzler as announced by Gov ernor Olcott today. Kanzler was one of the'-three men selected by the circuit judges of Multrvo man county ; several weeks ago from which list the governor was to select the" judge of the new court. Immediately after learning of the action of the Mult nomah judges.
