MEXICO CITY, Sept. 20.
( AP) ' Tie appoin t m e n t of
Dwlght W. Morrow of New York
as ambassador to Mexico came as
an entire surprise to the general
public today and aroused intense
interest in all circles. It was
learned that in accordance with
the usual diplomatic procedure the
Mexican foreign office had been
informed of the prospective ap
pointment and had let the tJnited
States government know that Mor
row "would be personna grata to
the Mexican government. The
foreign office, however declined
to make formal comment. Present
American embassy officials are In
terested in the appointment but
are not in a position to say any
thing and the first reaction of the
American colony appears to be
gratification at the selection.

ance. prohibition, and public mor
als. Speculation was rife among
church people yesterday as to who
would be elected ministerial dele
gates to the general conference.
As one minister put it yesterday,
"tfiere are at least 162 ministers
who could be prevailed -upon with
out too much persuasion to accept
election as delegate." It is a
choice distinction which every
man of the cloth would like to re
ceive. In short, all the conference
members are candidates.
Dr. Clarence true wuson,has
been entered as a possible choice.
He is a member of the Oregon
conference and desires a seat at
the world gathering. His promi
nence will work much in his fa
vor. Other ministers and church
administrators certain to receive
major consideration are Dr. Carl
Gregg Doney, Dr. A. L. Howarth,
Dr. S J. Chaney, Dr. D. H. Leech,
and Dr. Edward Laird Mills.
Dr. B. L. Steeves is practically
certain of election as ope of the
lay delegates, but other candi
dates have not yet been pushed
prominently into the field. First
Church, Salem, is honored every
year by at least one delegate from
its ranks, and Dr. Steeves is the
congregation's choice.
Election of ministerial dele
gates will probably take place en
Thursday, and the laymen will
elect their representatives Friday.
Bishop Shepard made it clear
yesterday that Oregon would send
four lay, and four ministerial'del
egates to the general conference.
September 15, there were only
162 members of the conference,
three short of the 165 required
for election of fonr delegates, whoj
are apportioned one to each i5'
members or twai-thirds part there
of. There are three undergraduates
to vote into conference member
ship' this year, however, and these
will be counted, making the total
sufficient. .
Seven young men aspiring to
the Methodist ministry were giv
en the conference examinations
yesterday for admission on trial.
They were Wayne Weight, Mar
quam; Everett Gardner, Route 8,
Salem; Thomas Potwin, Albany;
Marcus B, Berbano, Pimbail; "Ed
ward Tefrry, McMinnville; Robert
Mcllvenna. Jefferson; and Oliver
J. dill, Portland. If they pas&the
examinations, they will be assign
ed to small pastorates, or given
permission to attend school.
Indications are that four stu
dents will be ordained deacons
and two ordained elders. They
must be passed on separately by
the conference. '
Henry R. Cross, Wllsonville; M.
J. Tennyson, Canby; LeRoy ,11.
Walker, Dayton; and Grace I.

ordination as deacons. Miss Driv

listeners as the flier who was sec

Pacific hop made preparations to
salvage his monoplane and rescue
"Leo" movie stunt lion, from their
unchosen location in Tonto basin.
Leo's cage '.in the passenger
compartment of the plane lived np
to Its reputed ' stufdiness when
Jensen, failing in his attempted
non-stop flight from San Diego to
yew York crashed into a grove of
oak trees forty miles up country
from.ihis isolated damn town. The
flier, leaving the tightly caged
Leo where he came down, made
his way on foot down the canyon
to the H. Bar ranch, narrowly
missing a rush of water caused by
a " mountain " cloudburst.
"I passed through numerous
thrills from the time I first skirt
ed the Mongolian coast before the
crash in a clump of oaks, until I
met George Booth, a rancher on
upper Tonto creek at 10 o'clock
Monday morning," Jensen said.
The plane took off from San
with his million or more.
It is

that afternoon.
! "1 told Booth who I was," Jen
sen cpntlnued, "and he directed
me to the H Bar ranch after prom

"The ship is pretty badly dam
aged just how -much I can't say.
I evidently took the wrong fork of
the Tonto. I followed the left
head stream because the canyon
appeared wider. It was not long
before I found myself in a narrow
'gorge where the sheer walls rose
up faster" than I did.
"I could not circle for altitude
and the air was light. My heavy
load prevented a straight shoot for
higher levels. The ship sideslipped
and I brought her down on the
tail. We hit the oak thicket pret

passed upon by the conference for
ordination as elders, the final step
in the climb for the ministry.
Ordination services prqbably
will take place next Sunday.
CHICAGO! After the Demp-sey-Tuney
fight what?
Those who have been here on
the fight, laboring on one angle
or another, are already discuss
ing what the future holds for the
heavyweight division, the princi
pals of the coming melee whatev
er the outcome, whatever it may
be.
And this is the general feeling
as I sense itt - -A
quick knockout victory for
Dempsey will not only restore the
the faith of the public in the game
in general, but If win make him
the greatest fistic hero' that' ever
lived, if he is not that now.;
A quick knockout victory for
Tunney will raise Gene Tnnney's
still discussed status as a- fighter,
but will not give him the popular
ity other heavyweight champions
have carried in tradition.
But by the same token a quick
knockout victory for Dempsey will
instill deeper in the minds of
most fans the belief, still" exist
ing, that Dempsey, was not him
self last September and that the
fight was a fluke. This with no
intention of casting any discredit
