Any probability that the name of the church might be changed at this general convention was disposed of by the house of deputies, which held that it was without Jurisdiction to act on resolutions proposing changes in the legal title of the church. The committee of prayerbook rec ommended delay In considering the memorial from the -diocese of Califor nia, referring specifically to a change in the title page of the prayerbook, The question" should not be considered, the committee held, until disposition had been made of the proposal to amend the constitution so as to re quire a two-thirds vote to make the change.

Portland persons in the vicinity of the Heilig Theater this morning at 11:30 need not be in the least surprised to see eight or 10 Studebaker trucks travelling up the streets, propelled by power furnished by a man in front -with the tow rope around his neck. The man will be none other than Texas, strong man who will pound nails with bis hands, tie iron pipe into fancy bpws sad present other real strongman feats at the Heilig Sunday afternoon and night. While on his way, the giant will pound a few nails into telephone poles along the street with one blow. The wagons which will follow him in his self -conducted parade will be the heavy type of farm and delivery trucks usu ally drawn by at least two horses. Texas has a wonderful build devel oped through the mere ambition to be a strong man. One of the features at the Heilig will be to swing 26 men around his neck on a three-inch iron bar. The man has a wonderful build. His cheat expansion is 111 inches. He stretcnes the neck 11 V4 inches. hoys throwing rocks, and believed that if one of the bridge-tenders were given nolice authority that the practice of the boys making targets of the lights could be stopped. ids commissioners directed Mr. Murnane to recommend one man on each bridge for the position, and when the recommendation is made proper authority will probably be dele gated. Whidden & Lewis, architects, re ported that the south tier of men's cells in the new jail have been tested oy experts and withstood files, hack sanrs and -drills. The tool proof quality of the cells were satisfactory to the architects. The tests were made by the Portland Wire & Iron Works. Permission was granted to the Lewis Wiley Hydraulic Company to place a pipeline under the Sc. Helens road, at a point between Twenty-ninth jand Thirtieth streets. The line is to be used in connection with other machinery in cutting dowp Goldsmith Hill and tilling Guild's lake.

GOVERNOR IS RIDICULED COOS JTDGE SUGGESTS CONSUL TATION WITH ALIENIST. Is Desire for Newspaper Notoriety Mentioned In Connection With Deportation Prosecution. MARSHFIELD, Or., Oct. 17. (Spe cial.) John F. Hall, bounty Judge of Coos County, today gave out some of his letters in reply to Governor West s attacks on him. JThey probably .are as caustic as any that Governor West has ever -received. The first letter is in reply to Governor West's telegram ask ing for an Itemised account of the ex pense of the L "W. W. investigation and stating that an effort would be made to have A. H. Powers pay the JiOOO cost. In part the letter says: "Not believing that yon would be fool enough to believe that you could collect the same off A. H. Powers or that you would attempt to do such a thing, and .believing mat the telegram is a forgery and that some one is try ing to put up a Job, I concluded to write you before going to the trouble of getting the information you asked for. "If it is true that yon sent the tele gram and have any Intention of try ing to collect the money from Mr. Powers I would advise that you con sult an alienist before attempting to collect the money." The second letter is in reponse te Governor West's answer to the first letter in which Governor West says he sent the telegram referred to and that he was asking for information, and not advice. In part the letter is as follows: "In your letter you say your office asked for Information and not for ad vice or instructions. At the time I re ceived the telegram I did not believe that you had sent it. I thought some practical Joker was trying to have some fun at our expense and expressed my opinion. Since receiving your let ter I will say that I do not intend to offer any advice or instructions to your office, but I have not changed my opin ion. 'I further nete you say no one who took part in or sympathizes with mob violence is In a position to criticize your office. Replying to this I will say that I have not taken part or sym pathized with any mob violence, was not present at nor had I any knowl edge of the deportation of your friend until after it had been done. I do not believe in mob law, nor do I believe in prosecuting innocent persons, either criminally or civilly, for the purpose of creating a sensation or obtaining newspaper notoriety." W. J..

Humor I Relieves Federal Court When J. H. Reed Is on Trial Charged With, Impersonation Phy sician Employs Him. The story of how J. H. Reed, self- styled "private detective," carried a William J. Burnsesque campaign to se cure evidence against the "Modern Spe cialists," who specialize In diseases of men at Second and Morrison streets, and the treatment that they adminis tered to an accomplice of Reed's, who went to them professing to be afflict 1 lent a humorous light to the often dull and sometimes tragic atmosphere of the United States iJistrici touri yesterday. Reed is on trial charged rith imper sonating a Deputy United States Mar rhal and with trying to extort $1500 "bail" from the "Modern speciansis.- Reed was charged with a similar of fense once before, when he pleaded guilty and served a three months' sentence.

According to the evidence introduced yesterday. Dr. Smith found that the "Modern Specialists" had not removed his signs and were allowing people who called and asked for him to think that he was still practicing in the of fice, - and that they were receiving treatment from him. He employed Reed to act in the ca pacity of "private detective," to get evidence to show that the "Modern Specialists" were not only imperson ating him. but that they were prac ticing without the proper credentials. Reed's fee was to have been J100. "This money is still coming to me. said Reed, in his testimony. He pro tested that he had "made good" in get ting the desired evidence. "I got the goods on 'em," he said, with professional pride. Reed said that he called at the of fice of the "Modern Specialists" and asked to see Dr. Smith not for him self, but for his brother, who" needed treatment. . "Specialists" Are Visited. A date was made for Reed and his brother... Reed went again to the "Modern Specialists," accompanied by a man named Robson, who posed as Reed's brother. "Then that man there, Mr. Parker," said Reed, pointing to where Parker sat in the audience, "told Robinson that he had a serious disease, and that if he had waited a week longer it would have been too late." "He said, You are just in time,'" continued Reed, "and then made an ex amination and gave Robinson an in jection." v The man designated as "Mr. Parker" admitted that he was employed by the "Modern Specialists," which seems to consist mainly of a Dr. Deane. Parker said that he was not a doctor, nor a licensed practitioner. Parker admitted that he had allowed, people who came to the office asking for Dr. Smith to think that he was Dr. Smith. Reed told of disagreeing with his client. Dr. Smith, as to the proper pro cedure in "getting the goods" on the "Modern Specialists." He intimated that Dr. Smith wanted him to imper sonate a deputy United States Marshal, but that he refused to take the case unless he could handle it according to his own notions of "private detective" work. He finally-took the case on his own terms. WOMAN HALTS ELEVATOR Injunction Suit at Oregon City Stops Construction of Cliff Lift. OREGON CITT,Or., Oct. 17. (Spe clial.) Mrs. Sarah A. Chase has filed an injunction- in the Circuit Court against tbe city and the construction company, preventing it from erecting the elevator on Seventh street f,or which the people vojLed a bond issue of $12,000. Mrs. Chase owns the property on the edge of the bluff, which has been con demed as the approach to the elevator from 'the residence side of the city. Th report of the Board of Reviewers assessed the damage at $1500, and she declares this sum is not enough to cover the damage to her property. She asks the Circuit Court to issue a re straining order to prevent the con struction of the elevator until a sum something like the amount she be lieves she will lose is paid to her by .the city. Her attorneys are Joseph E. Hedges and D. C. and C. D. Latourette. - SPECIAL ROAD TAX PLANNED Districts in Clackamas Prepare for Improvements to Be SCade. OREGON ClTY,Or., Oct. 17. (Spe cial.) Several of the road districts of the county are planning to levy special taxes for road purposes this year. Al ready Judge Anderson, of the County Court, has sent out blanks to the super visors asking them to make reports on the condition of the reads under their direction and to give the court such other Information as it will need In making the regular county appropria tions for road work. The new court is strongly in favor of more and better roads through tbe county and has taken several steps in that line since it has been in office. Several new bridges are contemplated across the streams, shortening the haul of the farmer to the markets of the cities and towns of the county. BRIDGE POLICEMEN ASKED County Takes Steps to Stop Vandal ism on Spans. Steps were, taken by the County Com missioners yesterday to have a special policeman on duty on each of the five bridges which cross the river in Port land. Superintendent of Bridges Mur nane reported to the Commissioners that several of the outline lights on the Broadway bridge had. been broken by FAVERSHAM CHAMPIONS MARIE LLOYD'S CAUSE Actor, With Soothing Enunciation, Draws Pertinent Comparisons Yankee Customs Balcony Passes From Romeo and Juliet. of BT LEONE CASS BIER. N THE name of Heaven," asked William Faversham, "what is it to tbe world in general whethei Marie Lloyd, whoever she is, is mai ried 'or not married?" We were sitting in the dressing room, he nursing a pipe and idly run ning through a pound of letters from his wife, Julia Opp; I was nursing a rheumatic ankle and congratulating myself that William Faversham was so splendidly approachable as copy and would talk about something other than William Faversham. He is a tremendously entertaining talker, and has ideas on almost every subject, tie calls them "ideas" too and not "idears." So many folk you know, whose knowledge of New York is con fined to moving pictures of policemen stopping traffic on Broadway, insist on saying "idear." Mr. Faversham's enunciation and the way he bites and clips off his words is like unto a poultice on a sore spot after the mouthings and mutter-ings- of a lot of people I could men tion. For the many "constant readers" who have written to ask, ' I asked, "Where is the lovely and gracious Julie Opp?" Answer: Miss Opp, who every body knows is Mrs. Faversham, is separated professionally for the first time from her husband in several years more than a dozen. She is recuperat ing from a siege of pneumonia in a wee little Switzerland town in the Alps. She has the two Favershams Junior with her and is coming to America only in time for the mid-season holi days. The conversation Just naturally drifted around from Miss Opp, who is a suffragist, though far from a mili tant, to whether Mrs. Pankhurst should or shouldn't be deported and then it was that Mr. Faversham spoke right out and said that our customs house inspector 'had distinguished him self as ridiculous In compelling Mario Lloyd to be sent to Ellis Island. "In England," says Mr. Faversham and ha is an Englishman, you must remember "we do not care a darn about the private life of any man or woman, particularly those of the great artists, provided they are good and loyal citizens. In America you sneer at Maxim Gorky and refuse him ad mission Into hotels and yet your wo men and men break their necks to see Evelyn Thaw dance a few steps that any chorus girl could master. "Marie Lloyd is a representative of English vaudeville, and while I do not know her, she is regarded over there much as some of tbe bigger lights in vaudeville are here. The law that warrants inquiry into the private lives of foreigners entering America vas designed, according to my under standing, to check the Influx of crim inals, dependent, vicious people, the corrupt and idiotic I think it was ............ ....T William Faversham as "Julius I i Caesar." J i i never intended to serve as a means of inquisition into the closely intimate affairs of artists of international repu tation. "If inspectors in authority are. al lowed to proceed in this high and mighty way and humiliate the defense less, it is to be expected, and I ex pect to hear of It soon, that legiti mately married people have been sent to the black hole and made to stay there until they can satisfy the hench men of the Holy Inquisition that they have complied with all the prescribed conventions." He said a lot more on the subject, did Mr. Faversham, and then he told me of his plan to play Romeo and Juliet without the traditional and ex pected balcony. "Why, it will be like Hamlet with no Hamlet," I- faltered. "Not at all; on the contrary, it will be the most beautiful effect you ever saw. I ve searched through all the histories, the archives, I may say. of Shakespearean literature, and I find no reference whatsoever to any bal cony in the scene. We have only be come accustomed to it. "I have designed for my production a sunken garden, with Romeo stand ing in the garden whispering to Juliet at the window of the casement-" "Another idol swept away," I wept softly to myself. It certainly is a with out-less age. It is now up to some one to put on "uncle Toms Cabin" without Uncle Tom.

To prove this fact just look at the tires on the automobiles you meet. You will find United States Tires leading all others. You will find that in actual use on the Western roads these famous tires predom inate. To maintain year in and year out this absolute tire supremacy, United States Tires must have "made good" to these thousands of Western motorists. The achievement of the enormous organization behind these famous tires, with their vast knowledge in tire building, has been to produce the strongest tires the greatest milage tires and most wear resisting tires the automobile world has ever known. When you purchase United States Tires you are sure of these vitally important facts: 1. Of the Four Factory Organization behind these famous tires. 2. Of vast experience in tire build' ing. 3. Of a tremendous organization that actually back3 up its tires. The overwhelming number of automobile manufacturers who have selected United States Tires as the standard equipment of their 1914 cars proves unquestionably that United States Tires are today the accepted standard for real tire service.
