H. tween attending a movie Sunday even ing that was free and one that was vhown to make money. He was in fa vor of a sacred program Sunday night for the Chautauqua. Mr. Albert could not see why miuisters objected to Sun day night shows provided they were educational or religious. The Rev. James Elvin, who originat ed the moving picture idea as part of the Hunday evening services, conld see no objection to the proposed show ui the Chautauqua Sunday evening, espe cially as it was a moving picture reel showing scenes in the Antarctic ocean, educational as well as instructive. The Itev. Carl 11. Elliott, of the Pres byterian church, snid the ministers wished to safeguard the sacrcdncss of the (Sabbath, especially now that so many attractions were calling the peo ple away from services. A. A. I.ec remarked that it was too late to change the program this year, but that the board could insist on a sacred program for Sunday night. Next year, the Ellison-White people could be told just whnt the people wanted, nnd if the board decided to have no Sun day entertainment, there would be none. "People who do not believe in en tertainments Sunday evening can stuy way," said Joseph H. Albert, "and preachers who are not favorable, may hold their usual Sunday evening serv ices." C. K. Knowlnnd was anxious to know whether the ministers would fight the ChautiHlqna, and what uttitudu the min isters would hold towards their mem bers, who did attend. We do not want Buy ministers lighting the Chiiutuuqim, lie said. The Rev. F. T. Porter was in favor of the regular vesper services in Will son park on the evening of Sunday, July HI, and this was agreed on by the board. Mrs. I K. Page, Rev. Carl 11. Elliott and Rev. F. T. Porter were ap pointed a ( nittee to arrange the serv ices, to begin at (1:30 o'clock. President Epley expressed Hie opin ion that he hoped the ministers would not hold out against the Chautauqua this year. Next year there would be no Hunday night show. Tho committee on location selected the baseball grounds of Willamette uni versity for the Chautauqua, the same In eation as last year, and a vote of thanks was given to Dr. pnnoy and the trustees for offering free these grounds. Situation On Border Grows More Tense By Webb C. Miller, (United Press Staff Correspondent.) Columbus, N. M., July 1. The tense ness in the Mexican situation as u re sult of Carninza's statement on the last American note was reflected to day in activities at the base camp era and new movements of the ex peditionary force in Mexico.

Clark, the new member of the school board opened the session of the directors last evening, called to consider applicants for the positioa of superin tendent o'f the city schools, by propos ing the name of Henry F. Durham, principal of the Lincoln school, at a salary of $2,250. Mr. Durham has been in charge of the Lincoln school for sev eral years at a salary of $ 1,100. As there was no second to his mo tion, and as the consideration of Mr. Din hum's nnnio on Mr. Clark's motion would prevent the board from discussing the qualifications of the 27 candidates who had applied, no action was taken, espei ially as Mr. Durham had made no tipplicntinu for the position in w.itingj o oriiiiy. The applications and endorsements were then read by Clerk Hiirghurdt, with the decision of the bourd to let the matter rest until next Wednesday ev ening. la the general remarks that follow ed on tho application from the commer cial department for several books, Su perintendent Elliott remnrked that he considered that department the most, useful and practical in the entire school and that it was operated at a less cost per capita than any other department in the school. Supplies for the year will be pur chased in large lots and Superintendent Elliott was asked to submit to whole salers a list of these supplies needed, asking for bids. The proposed well at the McKinlev school will not be dug at present, at least until the board consults with J. P. Rogers, who is sinking a well near the school. Several members of the board expressed a preference of having the water of Mr. Rogers instead of ex pending n sum close of $500 for sinking a well. Portland, Ore., July 1. "A jury of women should try this case," Mrs. Mar garet Sanger said today, referring to her arrest on a charge of distributing literature in the form of pafiphlets on family limitation. "It is women ho are vitally con cerned in birth control not men," she asserted. Mrs. Sanger appeared none the worse for having spent one night in jail. She had refused to give bail, and remained in custody until Chief of Police Clark i ordered that she be released on her own j recognizance. I "Portland is the first city to inter-1 fere with my work since 1 left New York," saiil Mrs. Sanger today. "It is strange to me that the information I am trying to give wsmen is harm ful and immoral in Portland and no where else. There are no laws in any country iu the world against disseminat ing information of this sort except in the I'nited States." Mrs. Sanger was arrested meet ing of protest, against the arrest of three men for selling her pamphlets. Late yesterday she testified at the trial of these three men. Hr testimony was brief. Municipal Judge I.angguth took the examination into his own hands. "What wonld you say, Mrs. Sanger," queried the court, "if a Mrs. Jones or a Mrs. Brown bought one of these pamphlets and lost it on the street and wss picked np by a 14 year old girlf Wonlo you think it unfortunate?" "Before I went into this work I con sidered that question," responded Mf. Sanger. "I do not think there is i thing in this book that would be harm ful to a girl of that age." Mrs. Sanger will apepar in conft to day when her attorney will argue for a dismissal of the charge against her and three other women arrested at the same time. Judge I.angguth will not decide the cases of the three men until next week. CITY NEWS DIED VAN WAllNKR At the home of his daughter, Mrs. Clyde E.

Faced by demands from the conductors, engineers, firemen and brakemen that would impose on the country an additional burden in transportation costs of $100,000,000 a year, the railroads propose that this wage problem be settled by reference to an impartial Federal tribunal. With these employes, whose efficient service is acknowledged, the railroads have no differences that could not be considered fairly and decided justly by such a public bodyj Railroads Urge Public Inquiry and Arbitration The formal proposal of the railroads to the employes for the settlement of thi controversy is as follows: j "Our conferences have demonstrated that we cannot harmonize our differences of opinion,' and that eventually the matters in controversy must be passed upon by other and disinter ested agencies. Therefore, we propose that your proposals and the proposition of the rail ways be disposed of by one or the other of the following methods: 1. Preferably by submission to the Interstate Commerce Commission, the only tribunal which, by reason of its accumulated information bearing on railway conditions and its con trol of the revenue of the railways, is in a position to consider and protect the rights and equities of all the interests affected, and to provide additional revenue necessary to meet the dded cost of operation in case your proposals are found by the Commission to be just and reasonable; or, in the event the Interstate Commerce Commission cannot, under existing laws, act in the premises, that we jointly request Congress to take such action as may be necessary to enable the Commission to consider and promptly dispose of the question! involved: or 2. By arbitration in accordance with the provisions of the Federal law" (The Ncwlands Act). Leaders Refuse Offer and Take Strike Vote Leaders of the train service brotherhoods, at the joint conference held in New York? June 1-15, refused the offer of the railroads to submit the issue to arbitration or Federal review, and the employes are now voting on the question whether authority shall be given these leaders to declare a nation-wide strike. The Interstate Commerce Commission is proposed by the railroads as the public body to which this issue ought to be referred for these reasons:' No other body with such an intimate knowledge of railroad conditions has such an unquestioned position in the public con fidence. The rates the railroads may charge the public for transportation are now largely fixed by this Government board. Out of every dollar received by the rail roads from the public nearly one-half is paid directly to the employes as wages; and the money to pay increased wages can come from no other source than the rates paid by the public. The Interstate Commerce Commission, with its control over rates, is in a position to make a complete investigation and render such decision as would protect the interest of the railroad employes, the owners of the railroads, and the public. A Question For the Public to Decide The railroads feel that they have no right to grant a wage preferment of $100,000,000 a year to these employes, now highly paid ana constituting only one-fifth of all the employes, without a clear mandate from a public tribunal that shall determine the merits of the case after a review of all the facts. The single issue beore the country is whether this controversy is to be settled by an impartial Government inquiry or by industrial warfare. National Conference Committee of the Kailwayi EL15HA LEE.

The army, it is understood, has been prohibited from pursuing its activities among the prisoners since last February beeouse sumo of its members had car rie.l out letters from inmates.
