CHURCH ROW
REFUSES To
Be SETTLED
RUMOR SAYS REV. ERRETT,
MOVED BY THAT SPIRIT OF
FORGIVENESS WHICH IS SAID
TO BE DIVINE, WILL PREFER
BROTHERLY CHARGES AGAINST
REV. VIM. BLACK.

The controversy which has existed
for some time in the Christian church
over the reelection of Rev. Errett,
as pastor, and charges alleged to
have been preferred against him with
the Board Of Ministerial standing,
and also the old church board, took
a new turn this morning, when a ru-
NOR became current that Rev. Err
rett would prefer charges against
Rev. Black, formerly a member of the
Board on Ministerial Standing.
Rev. Errett was recently reelected
president of the Oregon Christian
Missionary Association, which is now
being held at Turner. This gives
him authority to appoint new min
isterial board, and he has appointed
as members Of it, e. S. Muckley, Of
Portland; l.. F. Stevens, of Eastern
Oregon, and A. G. Corbin, of Rogue
River. The members of the commit
tee, it is alleged, are all friends Of
Rev. Errett, and the rumor has it
that he will file charges with it
against Rev. Black.
Rev. Black, when seen today ad-
mitted that he understood that Rev.
Errett contemplated such a move,
and that he would welcome it, as he
had nothing whatever to fear.
Rev. Errett is at present attending
the convention and could not be seen
in relation to the subject.

RAILROAD STRIKE

Of all Southwestern railroads an

So 900 men probably will be called

The men demand wage scale and
working hours granted blythe Chesa-
peake G. Ohio railroad. 1t is believed
that the railroads will refuse the
demand.
The unions have submitted an ulti-
matum declaring that no more con-
ferences will be held after today.
They have endeavored to effect a sat
isfactory settlement for the last two
months, in order to avoid disastrous
Industrial strife.
Representative of the trainmen's
union assert that 10000 conductors,
brakemen and other trainmen are
ready to strike and when they do
the engine and ward men will be
forced TO quit work The lines af
fected by the threatened strike are
the Atlantic coast line, Seaboard Air

The increases demanded range
from Is to 30 per cent. Southern
railroad officials discredit the danger
of a strike.
"The employees have no desire to
force an issue, but they stand on
matters of principle" said F. L.
Pittman, representing the unions.
"The matters discussed involve the
unlimited use of money by company
officials who travel in private cars.

HENRIETTA
CROSMAN is TO
VISIT SALEM
WITH A SPLENDID COMPANY
WILL PRESENT '.ANTI-NIATRI-
MONY" AT THE GRAND OPERA
HOUSE HERE JULY II.

Miss Henrietta Crosman and her
company of players have only made
three or four stops in a cross-coun-
try run that embraces special trains,
private cars and Pullmans of great
variety. The dainty comedienne
left New York four weeks ago and
has presented her brilliant success,
"Anti-Matrimony," in only few
cities. Miss Crosman will be seen IN
the principal cities of the Pacific
Coast surrounded by an all star cast
of players.
This whimsical comedy, although
provocative of more laughter than
any play of recent years, deals logi-
cally with a question as old as the
hills, but presents the subject from
a brand new angle. It has remained
for that master of dramatic art, Per-
cy MacKaye, to weave a powerful
story and yet crowd It full of genu-
inc fun, and all about the much dis
cussed marriage game.
This play has dropped like a
bomb shell into the cob-webbed at
mosphere of the drama. While 9th
ers have gone abroad and brought
over comedies and farces with
threadbare plots and still more
threadbare situations, Mr.. Maurice
Campbell, Miss Crosman's manager
has pounced upon the greatest of
American playwrights and secured
from him his masterpieces, an Amer
lean play, by an American author
that leaves no doubt in the public
mind that the niche left vacant by
the death of Clyde Fitch has found
an eminent occupant.
Miss Crosman has been surround
ed with a most carefully selected
company, every one of whom has
shown rare ability in important
roles. Manager Campbell has given
the play a wonderful production and
not item of detail has been omitted
which could possibly contribute to
the success of the comedy.
"Anti-Matrimony" deals with a
series of incidents in the lives Of
two brothers, the Rev. Elliott Grey
a Massachusetts clergyman newly
married and with a fine sense of hui
NOR and Morris Grew sOcialistic
dreamer who finds in marriage what
he considers the curse of humanity.
He arrives at the minister's house
after a prolonged absence abroad

and brings with him his 'soulmate, ="
as he styles her The minister and
his wife are shocked beyond meas
ure and are Mortified at the doctrines
laid down by Morris Grey, who in
weighs against matrimony and tells
of its dangers.
Mildred Grey, the minister's wife,
charmingly played by Miss Cros-
man, undertakes to straighten out
the tangle by inducing her husband
to apparently fall in with his bro
ther's wild philosophy and agree to
it. Mildred asks the tutelage of the
abberated brother who readily con-
sents. He impresses her with the
necessity of the throwing off the
shackles of matrimony and she with
her good husbands consent, appears
to agree The result is jealousy on
the part of the soul mate" and n
thousand and one complications
that seem to get into a tangle from
which there can be no extrication
Womanly wit and intuitive common
sense however accomplish the SEEM
ingly impossible and the reviler Of
marriage settles down into the most
dutiful husband imaginable.
Miss Crosman has evidently found
the part of her career. Her comedy
work has always been delicious but
in no other role has she displayed
the wonderful gift in so delightful a
manner. There is a charm to her
fun making that is at once fascinat-
ing and loveable. Her role is a long
one and she is on the stage nearly
all the time but there is never
moment when she Is not turning the
shaft of ridicule on the unsound
theories of her misled brother-in-
law.
Mr.. Albert Brown plays the part
of the minister in a masterful style.
He will be remembered as "Jimsy"
in "Paid in Full' and other impor-
tant roles. Mr.. Gordon Johnstone
plays the misguided brother with a
thorough appreciation of the singu-
lar part.
The character of the "soul mate"
is charmingly played by Miss Grace
Carlyle; who last season was starred
in "The Thief" by Charles Frohmal
and who is a protege of Miss Cros-
man. Miss Elizabeth Baker as Mrs.
Grey, the mother of the dissenting
brothers, does much to further the
convinceingness of the comedy while
the minor characters are all cast
with a view of excellence of inter
probation.
"Anti-Matrimony" is another link
in the chain of proof that Miss Cros-
man is not only Americas foremost
comedienne, but is without peer in
point of versatility and charm.
Miss Crosman and her talented
company will be at the Grand Opera
House here July II.

Muscat was taken by the Portuguese in 1903
and remained in their hands until the middle of
the seventeenth century, when the Arabs of the
interior secured possession of It, The imams or
sultans of Muscat afterwards made extensive con-
quests in eastern Africa including Zanzibar, Nom
bas and Quiloa. Oman was at the climax of its
power and commercial prosperity in the first half
of the nineteenth century, when the authority of
the imams or sultans extended the Persian
territories of Larstan and Mogistan the islands of
Bender Abbas part of the coast of Bauchistan, and
the long strip of African coastland including Zan
zibar, Mombasa and Quiloa, together with the
island of Socotra The present ruling family origi-
mated in Yemen and was first established in the
imamate in the person of Ahmed ibn Said in 1741.
The rise of the Wahabi power In Nedjed resulted
in considerable loss of territory. In 1856, on the
death of Sultan Said his possessions were divided
between his two sons receiving the African
territories and the other Muscat, with the Persian
possessions. These last were lost in 1875 Sultan
Thuwany who succeeded in Muscat, assassi-
mated in 1866 by his son Selim, who reigned but a
short time, and driven out by his uncle, Seyyid
Feisal ibn Turki. The power OF the imam Is exer-
cised very little beyond the capital, Muscat the
name of which is therefore probably better known
in popular usage than that of the whole state.

A correspondent from India writes that the
British gunboats in the Persian gulf have been
very active in suppressing the traffic in rifles and
ammunition. The arms were being landed on the
Makran coast and thence were carried by cara
vans for sale to the tribesmen on the northwest
ern frontier of India, to be used against the Brit
ish troops when the next trouble The
navy men are reported to have been very sue
cessfu and made several good hauls of rifles and
ammunition. To reduce still further the gun-run-
ners chances of profit four companies of the
Fourteenth Sikhs sent from Ouetta to inter-
cept caravans In the neighborhood of Robat. One
of our illustrations depicts the entraning of some
of the transport camels at Jacobabad In Sind, en-
route to Nushld, whence the column marched to
Robat.
AS a rule, when camels are entraned they are
loaded on open trucks, but on this occasion 1t
thought advisable to make use of closed cars.
The "oouts strongly objected to being loaded, but
with rope behind the hooks and steady, per-
suasive strain the rope they were event
ually hauled pushed in. Once in the the
camels were made to kneel down in the sand
which had been spread on the floor, their knees
were then tied SO that 1t was impossible for them
to straighten out their forelegs.
The cars were each loaded with six camels

the middle utilized for saddles and fodder for
the journey. Two camelmen also travelled in each
car 1t may be remarked that Brahuis differ from
most people In that they do not notice that the
camel has particularly offensive odor. The
camels bubbled and protested while being load
ed but they soon settled down and began to eat
the fodder provided for them. 1t took Ave hours
to load the first train of 1870 cames, Only one
camel that had an unusually large hump could
not be pushed through the door, and he was
trussed like a chicken and carried bodily in by
about Is men.

Bultan, who is under British protection, derives
large revenue from it, but although negotiations
with him for its prohibition might require diplo-
matte handling owing to his treaty obligations

tive means of avoiding the outpouring of blood
and treasure on the Indian forntier.
At present the efforts of the British navy

to go very close to the coast 1t is this fact which
enables the gun-running dhows to escape the vigil

became presidents, one of the United
States, the other of the confederacy.
These two officers were on duty for a
short time in the two other forts
named.
While at Fort Crawford Lieutenant
Davis wooed and won General Taylor's
daughter, his first wife. 1t is said to
have been a runaway match, but that
has Seen disputed. At all events Gen.
eral Taylor was so much offended
that he and Lieutenant Davis were
enemies until one day, while Taylor
was commanding an army and Davis
was colonel of Mississippi regiment
ly wounded in battle.
At the next general election Taylor
-"Old Rough and Ready" as he was
called-was elected president. Four
years later General Pierce was chosen
president, and one of the first things
he did was to offer his Mexican war
comrade, Colonel Jefferson Davis,
seat in his cabinet, which the future
Confederate leader accepted. He made
very good secretary of war.
Speaking of presidents, Wisconsin
people do not forget that volunteer
captain from Illinois campaigned in
their territory during the Black
Hawk war. He camped for night
where Whitewater now stands, and
was also at Fort Atkinson before Gov
ernor w. d. Hoard made It prominent
by becoming the foremost butter and
cheese man in the country. That was
Capt. Abraham Lincoln. Nor should
stop here. A young lieutenant. with
his wife and daughter, went 10 years
ago to Fort Winnebago, where the
| lieutenant was stationed for several
years. He was r. B. Marcy. Mrs.
Marcy was prime social favorite and
their girl was beloved by the entire
garrison. She grew to beautiful wom-
anhood and married a captain of the
engineer corps In 1851 the captain,
who had retired to civil life, was ad-
vanced over all the officers in the
army except Brevet Lieut.. Gen. Win
field Scott, and was placed in active
command of the army. That is what
