' The conditions this year are very different from what they were in past seasons. Many of the husnands ' afid sons are this year working for good , wages and there, is not tho Incentive to work as there has 'been in the past. Hence theV must be appealed to on the ground of patriotism and public benefit. ! The condition this season is made more serious by the fact that -Mar-frra bounty Jean . not depend upon,, Portland for a great deal of extra help, for there is going" to be a great demand for laborers in northern Or egon and routhrn Washington.

A large proportion of these cases, disclosed by correspondence and oth er documents seized in the simul taneous raids yesterday on officers of several hundred manufacturing plants and forwarded today to the department of Justice , were not prompted by sinister motives, offic ials believe, and prosecutions will not follow.

Secret agents of the department of Justice, treasury war and navy departments were at work today on new phases of the disclosures in Washington and : elsewhere, while a corps of Investigators nnder the direction of Assistant Attorney Gen eral Houston Thomas digested the evidence contained in the thousands of seized documents. Attorney General Gregory took the latest information on the raids to the cabinet meeting. The analyzing, of reports on yes terday's raid proved a task which will take more than a week, partic ularly since some of the evidence was gathered as far west as San Fran cisco. Photographic copies of the letters or papers containing proof of the drafting or contingent fee agree ments were made, and the docu ments will be returned to the con tractors immediately to minimize in convenience to them. No names of either manufacturing concerns or suspected commission agents were given-out. although it was learned that the identity of the rawM rums leaked out in many 'lo calities.' ir One of the principal arms of the Inquiry now is directed to learning whether any army or navy officers were subject to sinister Influence of the agents. If It Is found any offi cers were Implicated directly, they will be soeedily court marjialed. Sec retaries Baker and Daniels said to day after the cabinet meeting. So far as is known now. the offer of the contract agents was not to any high army or navy officer.

Chapman on Train and Writes Him Up. PREACHER COMING WEST Store Feature of Institutional Church Is Immensely Successful- BY R. A. HARRIS KANSAS CITY, Mo., June 14. "Austin N. Chapman. Superinten dent and Pastor," Is the way he signs It. He'is official head of 'the Epworth Institutional Church of Denver, which as yet has but 300 members, but which requires two telephones, (Main 5078 and 5792) for its' numerous and flourishing activities. Statesman readers will be more Interested in Mr. Chapman, when they learn that he is to be one of the speakers who is to come to the Pacific coast this fall to speak In behalf of the Centenary movement of the Methodist church. He says he Is to speak in five cities of which 'our are. Los Angeles, San Francisco. Portland and Seattle. As to the other he is. not yet advised, which fact suggests that it may not yet be determined: If not. It might be a simple matter for Salem" to hear this preacher who Is doing real things. , His church which is a durable but not imposing one, contains be sides the usual church apartments, a well-equipped gymnasium and a kitchen and dining room where children's dinners may be served. For two cents a child gets good soup asd other wholesome eats ample for the luncheon and many regularly ecjoy the lunch hour there together. On tho first day of this month (June 1018). under the manage i..' t ct i'u's church, a store was ot'cncd and ' during the first eight days dispensed 665 articles to, 361 - customers for which it received $208.31. Of these articles. 7a. were men's clothing. 6 women's clothing. 13 children's clothing. 35 shoes. 11 hats, 1 book, and S4.X1 worth of minor miscellan eous articles. Now a .store conducted by a church might very naturally be a disturbing suggestion.' hut this one had the hearty assistance of a" large number of bus iness people. Some donated tables on which fo display goods, some loaned show cases. - others sent clothing hanger, others clothing forms and others many helpful things including services and money. For it was understood that this store was strictly a modern Idea to conserve a great and growing by product of., life's necessaries now shamelessly .wasted, and a pitifully appealing by-product or out-classed service amply able, to sustain itself though mercilessly, if not cruelly cast aside in the rush of modern industry. , Commodious bags, not unllko those that receive the wet-wash, are distributed to the city's homes, each such home being duly noted. Cast off or outgrown clothing, shoes and other articles are deposited In the sack, the savings include furniture and everything of value that others may use. As the sacks receive their collections they are gathered up with such as will not' go In the sacks, carefully inspectel. fumigated and assorted for cleaning, repair or re making. An old shoemaker, efficient but crowded out because of his age. takes charge of all shoes, pots such as are fit in good repair and from him they go to the store. II will soon require help which will readily be, found.' A woman. 83 years old, now in spects.' dissects, assorts and and re models clothing which likewise goes to the shelves and counters. She is assisted by a woman with ten child dren and an invalid husband. Plans are under" way" for the col lection' of all manner of valuatje inaTerlals which wil be sold when ever atmarket is found. ' Profit, however, is not the goal of this industrial venture. Its goal is conservation of the human element at both - ends of- the Industrial scheme . Certain proper expenses must' be met with' margin sufficient to cover all overhead, wear and tear. Prices, .though" scarcely ever com mensurate with values, are set upon the goods, but by an unwritten law they may fluctuate as the human elemenUn the transaction seems to merit, desire or require. The effect Is to increase rather ban detract from the business lot other merchants and Institutions, because the rehabilitating effect of such a work is easily felt In the de velopment of confidence and self sustaining efrort on the part of thos reached and warmed by the spirit of such an Institution. EsUblished and conducted on such a basis, any suggestion of humiliation is re moved by a wide patronage designed to set at naught Just such senseless considerations. - Included within the Industrial de partment at this time are vacant lot gardens for children; boys shoe cob Ming class, three cooking and house keeping classes and four sewing classes. The dinners f of children referred to are under the relief de partment which include medical and surgical aid, neighborhood vis itation.1 flower ' girls ' association.

I met this modern preacher on the train In Colorado and enjoyed sev eral hours conversation with blm. He has discovered a real religious work and finds ample and efficient help and support Is attracted to U In the most natural and enthusiastic way by reason of its apparent rea sonableness and vital usefulness. Previous to beginning the work his church sent him to the source of in spiration, the Morgan Memorial of Boston, of which a greater story could be written. He went fa and studied every department critically and carefully, taking copious notes from which course of .study sprung the Epworth Institutional Church of Denver. He was now on his way to Columbus to attend a conference in connection with the Centenary move ment of the Methodist church, from which conference be will come direct: to the Pacific coast where' his lect ures will deal with the line of work herein discussed and la which he has been directly engaged. - !

Phone 23 rilURDER CASE ' IS AFFIRTilED Ro$a Mcrlo, Italian Woman, Muit Scire Time m State Penitentiair. Rosa Merlo, an Italian woman of Washington county, must serve time la the state penitentiary for slaying her husband, Joe Merlo, the state supreme couit yesterday handing down an opinion affirming the lower court for that county, presided over by Judge George R- Bagley. in the case of the state against Mrs. Merlo. The optnlon was written by Justice Bean. After her conviction, Mrs. Merlo was sentenced to the peniten tiary, but is out on bonds. The opinion of the supreme court says no leverslble error can be found in the record and that to remand and retry the case would result again in a verdict against defendant. Rel ative to the contention of the defend ant that the state, on rebuttal, was allowed to offer evidence that de fendant had been guilty of an Inde pendent crime, the court holds that this Is not shown In the record. Mrs. Merlo shot and killed her husband on October 4. 1915. She was Indicted on a charge of murder in the second degree and convicted of manslaughter in the lower court for Washington county. In its appeal the defense alleged 32 assignments of error against the court. One of these was the aefusal of the. court tn allow m. motion bv attomCTS for the defense that the court Instruct! the Jury to return a verdict of not guilty on the ground that there was insufficient evidence to go to the Jury. The state attempted to show that the defendant had repeatedly threat ened to kill her husband and that she was In the habit of frequenting sa loons and drinking. Further, it is asserted that she told conflicting stories or the killing. The state sub mitted testimony to show that the husband was peaceably Inclined, an Industrious' worker and of good char acter.
