MONDAY, JANUARY SO, 1922. METHODIST mm CHALLENGES BOARD; OFFERS TESTIMONY Inheritance left ua by the father and w nurpoM by the bleaainjr of God to keep them free from ctctt force that baa a downward tendency." Before aa tinmen conrreraUon whlcb mora than flltod very aeat In the Cen tenary-Wilbur Methodlat Epiaoopal church. Dr. Charlea MacCaucber. paa tor, ftunday mornlnf hurled a challenge t the echool board and offered to show X awarn teatlmony that dancing- la a contributing factor to moral delinquency among the very young of the city. Hie nubjeet waa "The Church and the Public School Dance." Members of the church were unani mously bhlnd their paator and at the conclusion of the nervtce adopted a rei lutlon Indorelng hie stand and that of ether Methodist ministers of the city. " am willing to make the following offer to the school board." said Dr. Mao Caughey: "That we will show by sworn leatunony, from authorltatire- sources, that dancing Is a contributing factor of mrm(arm hl mimltuit to mnnl Ha linqnenry, especially In the very young. If the board' will then close our school property to dancing, unless those who favor school dancing will prove that school dancing Is different from other dancing and is thrrefore morally harm less, CALLS BOARD C5REA80KABLE' "To ask ua as they have done, to trace each ease of delinquency due to, dancing, specifically to school dancing, la unrea sonable. It la aa unreasonable as It would be to ask a man who has been stung by bees to dealrnate the exact bee most responsible. This demand la 'only a sample of the utterly unreason able and ridiculous demands and re strictions with uhich we have been hedged and hampered since Ule begin ning of this controversy. "Newspaper headlines have shouted to the people that 'Pastors Fall to Prove Charges,' leaving the impression that we made some wild and sensational charges of moral turpitude against the young people of this city, and then were com pelled to back down on them. I say that la a stupid lie. and It will be nailed here and now as far as I am concerned. I "have written to the xchool board placing In their hands the proof of the one state ment I made which might be construed to Involve improper conduct at a school dance, but certainly did not charge groaa immorality, and I have asked the board to remind me If I mad any other state ment requiring documentary evidence so that I may supply It. I want It to be remembered in the future of this con troversy that I have come absolutely clean In my statements. The very worst statement made, in its moral Im plica- i lions, was made by Dr. Wilson regard ing the checking of corsets, and we have 'shown that Director Woodward made almost exactly the same statement In a press Interview, two months before, and It baa never been challenged up to the present time. "Supposing we had been foolish ' enough to be misled into attempting to prove, by sworn testimony, specifics morii uuui rwuiuni i rum chool dances. Supposing we had brought In an affidavit that Mary Doe bad become delinquent at a certain school dance, with supporting affidavits from her father and mother, where would we have gained anything? The storm then would have centered around Mary Doe. The public would have aban ; dared consideration of the dance to consider this unfortunate girl. Could ha be believed and could her parents be trusted T Was she virtuous before - the dance, and would It not be likely never been any dance? Those and a thousand other questions cu:'l have Immediately come up to further ulu nre and befog the Issue. The perfectly damning fact still re mains that the grade school dance pro- vtdea practically the only place In this city where the worst rogue In the city. If he has IS cents, could meet the best young girl In the city socially, and ab solutely without any official or respon sible supervision." BEAOLCTIOX (' ISDORHKMEXT VP' " Tsatlon by rising vote ex pressed Itself as Indorsing the action of the minister's committee In the follow ing resolution: "Resolved, that this congregation hereby express Its unqualified approval f the course our pastor has taken In the controversy In regard to dancing In our public school buildings, and pledge him , our unwavering support In what ever action may yet be necessary to bo taken. "Keaolved, further, that we tender our fluuika and support to all Influence, of who have engaged In this effort to keep . our children from the baneful Influence of this seductive amusement. We regard our 'public schools aa the most sacred KCUSTXBLAL ASSOCIATION ASKS FULL DA.XCE ECQFIBT Without a dissenting vote and without any word of comment, the Portland Ministerial association this morning as sembled In the T. M. C A. auditorium and passed a resolution asking for a complete Investigation of the public school dance. The RevTF. M. Jasper, director of re ligious education at the First Metho dist church, presented a resolution on behalf of the cabinet of the ministerial anion recommending appointment of a special commission of Inquiry consisting of five appointed from the Portland Peeachers association, who with five -vmen to be appointed by the Portland icil of Churches, "will cooperate n the school board in arriving at a tiae decision." APPROVAL APPLAUDED The Rev. Edward, Cdnstant, president of the association, said two resolutions bad been presented to the cabinet on the question. Following the vote the clergy expressed their approval again by ap plause. February waa designated aa "Amer- Icancism Sunday" in the churches of the cltji on a motion put by Dr. K. H. Pence pastor of Westminster Presbyterian church, following an address by Judge Jacob Kanzler of the court of domestic relation.

C A explained the difficulty the associa tion Is having; in finding employment for about 120 girls who are out of work. She said many offers to assist the rirla could not be accepted, as the girls would not ao housework. One of the nrob- lema of the organisation today, aha de clared, was In handling, the "girt hobo." The devotional address was given bv Dr. Charles MacCaughey, pastor of -Centenary-Wilbur Methodist church, who urged his brethren to. have more seal for the real work of the church and not to be concerned with the amount of their salary or over being: the greatest preacher in the city.

"Lampy" Lambertaon shot by detectives Friday night In Glendsie. Cal . when he was making an attempt to derail the Shore Line Limited passenger train between Los Angeles and San Francisco and se cure a large amount of money from thr oagsage car, Is the owner of the V. -toria cross conferred on him for gal lantry in action, while a member of the Canadian forces in France, according to Jack Brooks of this city. Brooks, who worked with a "Lambert' In Yakima, Wash-, on the Yakima American, a labor paper, In 1920. is of the opinion that the man shot in Cali fornia is the same who worked with him, but from the meager description of the man contained In the first Dress dispatches, could not say definitely that J-Amoert" waa Lambertson, but he thinks he la While In Yakima Lambert refused to let the paper use his real name or his tory in any connection, and because of this Brooks says bis belief that "Lam bert is Lambertson, is strengthened, it being said the Seattle police have sought the wounded man on two charges of murder. Brooks thinks that fact may have accounted for his queer actions m x aKima to some extent. t LEGISLATIVE CANDIDATE OUT Heppner, Jan. 30.
