man Baptists. Persecution drove
them to the United States in 1928

country about 5000 ministers, half
as many church buildings and some

POPE Plus DECLARES
NEW LAWS NULL

Rome, May 31.-An encyclical, just
issued by Pope Plus to the bishops OF
the Catholic church, deals with the
violent expulsion OF religious orders
from Portugal; the SUPPRESSION OF
church holidays, religious oaths and
religious teachings; the Introduction
OF divorce laws: the arbitrary deposit
ton of the bishops OF Oporto and
Benja, and finally the law separating
church and state.
The holy see the encycllcal says,
has been patient up to now, but can
not longer keep silent as the law Of
separation denies to Catholic citizens
even common liberties.
1t prohibits the publication of ec-
clesiastical acts; 1t forbds religious
emblems; it encourages rebellion and
the corruption of the clergy, pension
ing those who have been punished
by bishops or those living with wo-
men.
The law aims to detach the Por-
tuguese church from Rome, the en-
cyclical says in conclusion. and there
fore the pope condemns 1t as null.
1t having no value against the in
violable rights OF the church.

.SELLS-FLOTO CIRCUS
COMES TOMORROW

To those who may linger on the
circus grounds when the parade OF
the Great Sells-Floto shows return to
the tents on Friday, June 2. It may
appear that the massive cages and
dens of animals are placed indiscrim-
inately in the menagerie tent, but this
Is not the case.
1t is necessary for the peace OF the
animal families that the arrangement
be the same day after day. II the
lion cage originally is first the mon
key cage next, the polar bear next.
the seals next. the hippopotumas next.
the ocelot next, the tigers next. and
so on down one side of the mammoth
menagerie tent and back on the other
one day, the same arrangement Is ne
cessary after that.
The ends OF the cages are closed,
so that the animals cannot see their
neighbors, but they can smell them.
Any change of order among the dens
will promptly start something in the
zoo.
When the Sells-Floto Shows exhibit
here, the circus patron can obtain
much interesting information by
closely observing the menagerle.
You must not fail to see Feofilo
Carlo slide head downward from the
dome OF the tent. 1t is daredevil
feat never before attempted in any
country. Then there is the balloon

or in existence The Sells-Floto
clowns fighting the flames, the
Rhoda Royal haute-ecole horses and
host of other attractions.

mission Is 25 cents No more, no

SUPREME COURT HITS
HOME RULE LAW
COUNTY LOCAL OPTION
CONTROLS UNTIL ELECTION
Incorporated Cities Are Not Exempt
From Option Law-First Ruling Is
Made Oh Question of Amendment
Ratified by People.

Salem, Ore, June 1.-The first rul-
ing Of the supreme court on the ques-
ton whether the amendment ratti-
fled by the people in 1910 exempted
incorporated towns and cities from
the local option law came yesterday.
The court decided incorporated towns
and cities were not exempt. Thus the
local option law is not invalidated in
these cases.
The decision came in state VS..
Schuler, Wallowa county, in which the
defendant was convicted of violating
the local option law in Joseph. The
judgment of the lower court is affirm
ed. Defendant appealed on the ground
that the amendment to the constitu-
ton, exempted incorporated towns
and cities.
Judge Moore who wrote the decis-
ions, said: where the county Is dry
vote of the people in towns must
be taken before the order Of things
can be changed. 1t will be seen that
while the legal voters of every city
and town are authorized to license or
prohibit the sale of liquors therein,
the clause making the municipality
subject to the local option law with
in its limits, requires an election Of
voters Of the municipality before the
sale Of liquors can be legalized where
not legalized at the time Of the pas
sage Of the home rule bill"
Judge Burnett contends the home
rule bill Of no effect because Of the
phrase Subject to local option law"
He takes the stand that the bill leaves
conditions as in the first place. But
Judge Moore bases his ruling on the
additional clause within It's limits"
and holds this to mean that the IL

ANGLO AMERICAN PACT
SIR EDWARD GREY'S SPEECH
AROUSES ENTHUSIASM.
Way to Permanent Tribunal Is Even
Seen by Lord
Reay.

London, England. - Sir Edward
Grey's epoch making speech, as every
liberal calls it, has aroused enormous
interest throughout Europe and is
again the absorbing topic in the par
liamentary Hobbies. BY universal con-
sent, it is the most important pro-
n~ouncement made in parliament in
many years, and if some conservative
morning papers. taking the ground
that the foreign secretary's ideal is
almost impossible of attainment, COM
ment somewhat coldly and point to
the difficulties in its path, the liberal
organs hail it with unbounded enthus-
iasm and express strong resentment at
the soothing remarks heard from the
conservative benches, while Sir Ed
ward was speaking. such as how
about Mexico" and similar interjec-
tons offensive to the Unionists.
The wagon of the English-speaking
peoples is now hitched to a star"
said Sir Henry Norman. The rest
may come slowly but it will come. and
it will date from 1911"
Similar opinions were expressed by
the most progressive members of the
house of commons. Indeed many MEM
berS connected with the arbitration
movement found it difficult to believe
that Sir Edward Grey had not made
sure of his ground with regard TO the
negotiations with the United States
before going so far in a public utter
ance.
Lord Reay, the British delegate to
The Hague conference of 1907, in. an
interview, heartily welcomes the idea
and thinks that a general arbitration
treaty between Great Britain and the
United States might be the occasion
for the establishment of a permanent
arbitration tribunal and that the onlv
possible opposition in America would
come from the Irish section.
The Nationalist party in the house
OF commons discussing the matter, are
frank in declaring that it would be
quite impossible to secure acceptance
of the treaty until home rule has been
granted Ireland.
At his farewell reception at the
Cars Lane chapel at Birmingham,
Rev. ]. P. Jowett. who has accepted a
call to the Fifth Avenue PRESBYTERIAN
church, of New York. referred to Sir
Edward Grey's speech and said he
hoped that he might be able to help
forward Sir Edwards ideal of Anglo.
American unity.

New York, n. Y. - Thirty.fye
hundred employees of the United States

striking drivers of the Adams Express
company. This total was increased by
the drivers of several smaller con-
Germs, but the employees of the Ameri-
can and National companies struck to

the threat of a union official to declare

were not adjusted by Monday night.

he learned that his peace proposals, &C
cepted by the men Thursday, had been
overridden by the Jersey City men at
a midnight conference.

able" he tod a delegation of the Ma
tional and American drivers who ap-
pealed to him for protection. Further
than that, ii is criminal and brutal.
Do not be drawn into it. shall have

Many drivers ordered out in the
sympathetic strike were largely dissat-
ished with the. turn of events and a
meeting was called for to discuss the
matter. The United States and Wells
Fargo companies moved their wagons
under heavy police protection and
there was little disorder. Should the
general teamsters' walkout be ordered
as threatened. labor men say it would
be the greatest strike ever called in
this section.
