Rev. G. R. Varney then read the report
of the committee on revision of the con
stitution. A few changes were made in
the wording, and the committee's report
was adopted4 after a short discussion.
After the adoption of the constitution
Rev. H. F. Merrill, chairman of the nomi
nating committee, rcported,recommending
that the same officers be continued In
their official capacity until such time as
the convention saw fit to elect new officers
under the new constitution. The recom
mendation was adopted.
Report of the Board.
The main portion of the forenoon was
taken Tip with the report of the board of
managers, which was read by George R.
Varney, corresponding secretary. Fol
lowing is a summary:
Kindly mention is made of H. M. Clin
ton, who died since last convention; Rev.
Ray Palmer, who has gone to Chlllicothe,
Mo., and Rev. A, J. Sturtevant, who has
gone to California. The board held Its
first meeting at The Dalles, 19 out of 35
members being present. George T. Ellis
was elected president; George R. Varney
was elected general missionary. Applica
tion lor $12,000 from needy fields were con
sidered. The sum of 59100 was appro
priated toward support of 32 missionaries.
At a meeting of the executive committee
application for 5200 to complete The Dalles
Church was indorsed. F. A. Agar was
elected general missionary to serve two
months. George R.Varney was after
ward elected general missionary. The
missionary society granted Oregon $W00
on condition that $2500 be raised, and the
same terms for next year in place of $6000
irom them to $3000 from us. The 36 mis
slonaries were reported stronger than be
fore. C. B. Bailey, associational mission
ary, had done "good work. Churches have
been dedicated at The Dalles and at
Burns. A parsonage has been built at
Newberg. and a manse purchased at
Burns. vFor repairs and improvements
$130 Ohas been expended. The report con
tinues: For current expenses, Improvements and be
nevolence, our mission churches have raised
f 15.0C5 56, or .$12 per resident member. Eight
churches have contributed to the Home Mis
sion Society, glvine $99 04, or 33 cents per resi
dent member. Fourteen have contributed to
foreign missions, giving $304 75, or 76 cents
per resident member. Nine have contributed
to the Publication Society, giving $41 03, or 9
f ents per resident member. Twenty have con
tributed to othor benevolent objects, giving1
J852 95, or 70 cents per resident member. Thirty-six,
or all. have contributed to the slate
convention, giving $1614 59, or $1 25 per resi
de nt member. The average amount per mem
ber from the 114 churches in the convention Is
$7 38 for all purposes, including Sunday school
and young people's work, or $S 50 per resident
member. The Dalles has raised $48 C9 per
resident member. Arlington ha3 done almost
as weji, $36 39 per resident member. How
berg has raised $27 46 per resident member.
From all sources in the state there have been
received for state missions, as per the treas
urer's report, $3066 40. To this the Home Mis
sion Sooloty has added $6000, giving us
$9068 40 for the support of our work. Our
missionary appropriations have amounted to
$8430 94, $74 SO .have been paid for printing
the annual, $30 for office rent, $112 80 for in
terest on our debt, and $18 85 for other ex
penses. Thus It will be seen that we have not only
employed 30 missionaries a larger number
than ever before in the history of the conven
tionand paid all of our expenses (which have
been unusually large on account of the $100
voted, towards the moving expenses of the gen
eral missionary and the expenses of his trip
to the missionary conference at Denver), but
have a balance of $399 01.
We close the year with a decrease in our
debt. A year ago we owed the Home Mission
Society $1838 34, $1016 83 of which was on
open account and $821 46 on note account. This
has .been, increased by $112 80 of Interest and
$8430 94 missionary appropriations, making our
total liabilities to the society $10.382 08. To
offset this we have credits of $626 89 sent tho
society in cash, $2442 41 missionary receipts,
and $6000 in the society's apportionment, or
$6669 21 in all. We, therefore, owe tho sor
ciety $1717 62 at the present time; but to apply
on this we have about $200, thus leaving only
about $1500 unprovided for.
In the light of the needs of the state, what
ought we to do? Of the 114 churches In co
operation with the ponvention, only 15 are
self-supporting and have pastors; 13 have pas
tors, but receive missionary aid; 23 have reg
ular but 'part-tiroe preaching and receive aid;
21 have regular but part-time preaching and
Twelve no aid: while 42 have no regular
preaching and are practically dead. At least
25 of these 42 churches are sufficiently alive
and promising to make it worth while to spend
money there, while probably 25 of the 44
churches with part-time preaching could prof
itably use money enough to enable them to
have all-time preaching. The next best thing
is to put an associational missionary into each
association to preach to these sleeping churches
and to enter new fields.
The report closed with a number of
recommendations, among which was that
the entire membership should be induced
to give at least $1 to state missions.
James F. Failing, treasurer, next re
porten as follows: Collections from,
churches over the state. $2446 91; total dis
bursements. $2550 27; amount on hand,
$236 36, The report was referred to the
auditing committee, which will meet to
day. CnnKCK Plenslns Excitement.
A telegram from the American Baptist
Home Mission Society in New York was
next read by Dr. C. A. Wooddy, which
gave the convention much cause for re
joicing. The Home Mission Eoclety pledged
itself to raise $1000 of the convention's
debt of $1535, provided the balance was
paid within 90 days.- The telegram also
stated that S500 -would also be given as a
special contribution for work In Portland,
provided the convention added a like
amount.
The convention was at once the scene
of pleased excitement, while from all over
the auditorium came offers of help from
the churches toward raising the amount.
TJnder those conditions the president
found it impossible to conduct business,
and a short Intermission was granted for
the purpose of the delegates agreeing
upon the amount to be contributed by
their respective churches. When the
convention was again called to order tb&
following contributions had been made:
First Baptist. Portland. $150; Third Bap
tist, $10; Oregon City, $25; Second Baptist,
$25; McMinnvllle. $35; Pendleton, $10; Oak
land, $10; Grant's Pass, $10; Baker City,
$50; Dillard. $50; Immamiel, $10; Roseburg,
$25; Midctrtton, $5; Albany, $15; Calvary,
Portland, $10; Brownsville, $10; Park Place,
$10; Grass Valley, $5; Independence, $10;
Dallas, $5; Mount ZIon, $5; Pleasant Home,
$25; Siayton, $5; Swedish conference, $10;
Astoria, $10; Calvary, The Dalles, $10;
Norwegian work, $5; Fossil, $10; Monta
villa, $10; Mount Tabor, $5; Harrisburg,
$5; Springfield, $5; Newberg, $5; Medford,
$10; Mrs. Kay, $5; Corvallis, $5; Dayton,
$10; Mayville, $5; Weston, $5. The total
amount raised was $630, which, with tht
society's gift, frees the convention from
debt.
With t.e announcement of the amount
someone started "Praise God From Whom
All Blessings Flow," and the convention
immediately caught up the refrain until
the auditorium rang with the song.
A vote of thanks was 'then' extended to"'
the society for Its liberality, and the con
vention adjourned for luncheon in the
lecture-room.
Afternoon Session.
Promptly at 1:30 President Hunsaker
took the chair, and the convention came
to order. The nominating committee re
ported as follows i
President A. J. Hunsaker.
Vice-president W. W. Brooks.
Recording secretary L. W. Riley.
Treasurer J. (ft Failing.
Historical secretary J. H. Beaven.
Auditors C. F. Lewis, J. W. Burgy.
For board of managers To serve one
year. Rev. R. McKillop, Rev. W. P. El
more. President Frank Strong, O. M.
Richmond; to serve two years. Rev. G.
F. Ellis. Rev. J.'H. Beaven, S. C. Miller,
H. F. Merrill; to serve three years, Rev.
Alexander xlackburn, Rev. L. W. Riley,
Arthur Conklin, W. G. Smith. This re
port was adopted without change, and the
new officers introduced.
New ministers of the denomination were
then introduced. They were: Rev.'L. W
Riley, McMinnvllle; Rev. J. U. Mount,
Fossil, -Rev. J. Tonkins, Mayville; Rev.
J. E. Magulre,- Lebanon; Rev. G. A. Learn,
Montavilla and 'Mount Tabor; Rev. A. G.
Miller, acting pastor of Second Baptist
Church, Portland; Rev.- H. E. Palmer,
member of First Church, Portland; Rev.
W. L. Whlrrie. Stayton, and Rev. Mr.
Green, Eugene.
The discussion of the report of the- board
was opened by President Ellis, and Mr.
A, Conklin. Others gave five-minute talks
on the subject. The general impression
of the report was ttiat it was complete
and concise. Oregon was regarded as a
fine field for missionary work, and the
results of the year's work, as shown by
the report, were considered satisfactory.
It was urg-ed by the speakers, however,
that greater effort be made in this direc
tion, as there were many places in the
state as yet not reached.
Dr. C. A. Wooddy next read a paper,
mainly statistical, on "Oregon In the
Light of the Last Census." He gave fig
ures to show that the Baptist denomina
tion had increased almost twice as fast
as the population of Oregon. Dr. Wooddy
also showed that, in the number of
churches, the denomination had Increased
more than 40 per cent in the last 10 years.
This growth was regarded as very satis
factory. Mention was made in the paper
of the relative strength of the Baptist
churches in Oregon towns wlthregard to
population.
Following the discussion this paper
called forth. Rev. Robert Cairns spoke on
"A Spiritual Church the Force for Evan
gelization." The session then adjourned
until evening.
The Woman's Baptist Home Mission
Society will open this morning at 9 o'clock.
BEAT. MASKED FOOTPAD.
Eugene A. Clem Strikes Robber and
Dodges a Ballet.
A highwayman, wearing a mask and
carrying a revolver tried his best to hold
up Eugene A. Clem, a mining broker,
near East Twenty-elxth and Division
streets last night, but got nothing for his
pains. About 200 yards from his house
Mr. Clem met the highwayman, and the
latter presented his revolver and said:
"Hands up," in the usual style. It hap
pened at a dark part of the road, but Mr.
Clem with his umbrella struck the rob
ber and then quickly turned to run. The
chagrined footpad fired one shot, which
just grazed his victim. Indeed the pow
der burned a portion of Mr. Clem's head.
But the robber quickly disappeared. Mr.
Clem hurried home and got out his
double-barreled shotgun and started after
tho robber, .but .could not find him.
W. N. Mitchell, of 331 Clackamas street,
reported to the police yesterday that a
masked footpad carrying a revolver held
him un near his home Tuesday night and
robbed him of 35 cents.

FIGHTING IN THE PHILIPPINES
WILL BE REPRODUCED.
Northern Pacific Excursions Made
Last Night's Crowd Largest in
Exposition's History.
Tonight a vivid reproduction of a real
battle will take place on Multnomah Field.
Real soldiers will participate, and real
powder will be used, and tho realism of
the whole affair will be startling..
The battle of Marllllo will be refought,
but instead of the deadly bullets used at
the original battle, only blank cartridges
will be fired. They will make as much
noise as the real thing, and the rattle of
musketry will be just as startling, but
the whistle of the rllle balls will bo miss
ing. Flashes of fire will leap out from
muzzles of Krags and Spring-fields, and
the volley-firing will be thrilling. The
soul-stirring bugle calls will resound
above the cannons' crash, and the mid
night alarm will be shown as it really
was when the Second Oregon was at
tacked at midnight.
The Spanish-American War veterans
will march onto Multnomah Field this
evening, and blvouack for the night as
they did that night In far-off Luzon. They
will dispatch their frugal soldier supper
and after taps lie down to sleep. ' At
midnight the Filipinos, represented by a
battalion of the Oregon National Guard,
will attack the camp of the Oregon volun
teers, and there will be a fierce engage
ment The enemy wllL-be repulsed, and
the spectators can see just how It was
done in modern warfare.
The veterans who take part in this
battle were the same young men who
defeated the Filipinos at the battle of
Marillo, and they will therefore be back
playing at what was once a serious oc
cupation. Biggest Crowd Yet.
Without the big five-acre Multnomah
Field the Carnival committee would have
had to turn away many of Its guests, for
the great Exposition building, big and
roomy as it is, with all its annexes, would
not have held the crowds of people that j
came, it was tne largest crawa mat ever
assembled at any fair or exposition In
the Pacific Northwest, and Its numbers
were estimated at from 15,000 to 20,000.
And It was a happy, satisfied crowd, too.
In Its ranks was Dan McAllen, the vet
eran merchant, who Is always identified
with public enterprises, and he summed
it up like this:
"The Carnival committee is entitled to
the greatest praise for the grand results
of Its work. The Exposition Is a great j
public enterprise, and it is being admira
bly handled. It is doing good for the en
tire Northwest."
The Interior attractions of the Carnival
yesterday were kept fully up to their
usual high standard, and every feature
was bright and breezy, and the balmy
weather added to the general pleasure.
Visitors from all over the Northwest at
tended the Carnival and Inspected Port
land's big stores, shopped, visited the
picturesque parks and took long rides In
the open street-cars, far out Into the
suburbs, and generally enjoyed their
visit. Puget Sound cities were well rep
resented and their people expressed them
selves as well pleased with what they
saw. They all spoke of a pleasant and
expeditious trip, and said that the North
ern Pacific Railway had done the hand
some thing by them in granting them
such a low special rate to see the Carnival
and to visit Portland.
People Are Pleased.
From the time the Carnival doors
opened, at 1:30 yesterday afternoon, until
the closing hour of 5, a steady stream of
visitors promenaded through the Expo
sition building and Inspected the mag
nificent exhibits of the agricultural, hor
ticultural, forestry, fishery and mining
departments.
The salmon hatchery received marKed
attention, and the Interest taken in it
was general. Multnomah Falls, the Mu
sic Hall lagoons, and other scenic features
were a surprise to the visitors, and addei
color to the assertion that the Carnival
was being conducted on a larger scale
than ever before.
In the evening every street-car dropped
Its large living load at the doors of the
Exposition building, and the vast struc
ture soon filled up. The varied programme
was well planned, and a joyous feeling
was In the air.

DeCaprio's full military band was at
Its best, and its music vas much enjoyed.
The numbers Included De Koven's grand
production, "Oh, Promise Me," which "was
rendered as a trombone solo by Mr. Whan,
and also many classical selections of
world-wide renown.
The Alpine warblers, Novello, the con
tortionist; All Zada, the magician, all con
tributed their share toward an evening's
enjoyment. The wonderful polyscope
gave its marvelous reproductions of Pres
ident McKinley's last speech, and of his
funerals, and held the audience breathless
with wonder at the great strides made in
modern mechanism. All these features
are repeated every evening, with new at
tractions likely to be added at any mo
ment. The amusement committee is act
ive and efficient, and well sustains its
reputation.

Puget Sound sind other points.
School Children Drill Friday.
Probably the most Interesting night of
the Carnival will be Friday, when the
pupils of our public schools will be seen
in a number of drills and various physi
cal exercises. This is their first public ap
pearance since that marvelous exhibition
given at the Armory over two years ago.
Physical Director Krohn will personally
conduct all drills, and some very pretty
vorlc will be seen. Last Friday the first
mass practice drill occurred, and Mr.
Krohn expresses himself very well sat
isfied with the showing his pupils made.
There will be three separate drills, the
first an indoor club drill by .girls from
the Portland High School and pupils from
the eighth and ninth grades of the pub
lic schools. This will be followed by
marching exercises, for which a selected
number of boys and girls were chosen j
from one of the largest schools. A calis
thenic drill by several hundred little tots
frpm the lower grades will conclude the
programme. The closing number will
probably excite the greatest Interest,
owing to the extreme youth of the chil
dren and the number participating. A
basket-ball game will probably be played
during the intermission between drills,
which will, be a pleasing feature, espe
cially for the' children. The High School
girls have consented to put a team in the
- -----
--- 0"0
field and Mr. Krohn is negotiating wjth
several school teams to play them a game
on that night. There will undoubtedly be
the biggest crowd that night that has
yet attended the Carnival, as the school
pupils and their parents will all attend, as
well as members of the Multnomah
Club, whose committee was Instrumental
in introducing the feature at the fair.
There will also be a cakewalk Friday
evening, and another on Saturday even
ing, when the very successful Carnival
will wind up with a grand display of fire
works. TODAY'S PROGRAMME.

DECLARED UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Judge Aitken, of Union, So HoldK the
Cnratlve Acts of 1001.
Judge Aitken, of the State Circuit Court,
has recently decided in Union County that
the curative portion of the act of 1901,
relating to the sale of real estate here
tofore bid In by counties for delinquent
taxes, is unconstitutional. The decision
is far-reichlng and is of importance, as
this law applies to the whole state and
has been the subject of much adverse
'criticism by lawyers.
There were two injunction cases, Mc
Connell vs. Deering et al and State Land
Board vs. Deering et al.: and two man
damus cases, Finn vs. Deering and Coch
ran vs. Deering. The mandamus cases
sought to compel the Sheriff to issue
deeds to the land bid in at the tax sale,
while the Injunction cases were brought
to restrain the issuing of such deeds and
to test the legality of the sale and the
constitutionality of the law under which
the sale was made. Demurrers were- filed
in each of the several cases and the rul
ing of the court is upon these demurrers,
the one decision covering all the cases.
In one of these cases, McConnell vs.
Deering, the land was not assessed to
the owner and was Included with other
property and the tax carried out in a lump
sum, and the court says these two defects
are fatal and necessarily render the as
sessment void, being jurisdictional and
not affected by. the curative act of 1S01.
In the. other case. State Land Board vs.
Deering, the court says the sufficiency of
the complaint will largely depend upon
the validity of the act of 1901, page 71,
which act is amendatory of an act of
1S93, page 2S. entitled "to authorize County
Judges and clerks of school districts to
bid in property sold for taxes." Whether
that title would b sufficient to author
ize the Legislature also to provide for
the sale and conveyance by the county
may be questionable, but the court thinks
it might possibly include it. But the act
of 1901 has also an additional clement,,
that of curing defects in the assesment
and sale of land, the title being "To
amend an act entitled an act to author
ize County Judges and clerks of school
districts to bid in property sold for taxes,
approved February 20, 1893, and to pro
vide for the sale of the same." The
court is clearly of tho opinion that the
curative part of this statute is wholly
beyond and outside of the title of the act
and is entirely different matter: that the
title is not broad enough to Include it;
that that part of the act would be void;
and that without this curative part of
the act the whole proceeding of the sale
Is void, if there were no return by the
Sheriff of the delinquent tax list as pro
vided by law as a basis upon which the
warrant could issue.
The court is alco of the op'nlon that the'
Legislature cannot by a curative act dis
pense with the regularity of a warrant
under a statute providing for the same,
as such warrant is jurisdictional; neither
can it provide for some other lorm of
warrant to have ex post facto effect. The
assessment being jurisdictional, the court
also holds that a retroactive statute can
not change it.
