The Northern Baptist convention today voted after a lengthy debate to ter rrinate relations with the inlerchurch world movement. Eminent lay and clerical delegates scoki in favor of the movement, but the r solution submitted by the boaroH of promotion through Dr. John T. Aitchison, its director, was finally ap proved. " D. Courtland Myers, pastor of Tre mont temple, Boston, recommended that the intercaurch world movement "be buried in a grave so deep that there will be no danger of- a resur rection." He charged that autocracy was running the northern. Baptist de nomination. Matters of a doctrine foreign to the issue were interjected at times during the debate, and President Shull urged that courtesy be shown the speakers when hisses interrupted several dele gates. Dr. John Y. Aitchison, director of the general board of promotion of the Northern Baptist convention, present ed the board's first annual report (o the convention. He announced that the Northern Baptists' new world movement fund now stands at $65,129,950, an increase of $8,000,000 over the last previous announcement.

Captain Charles L. Stokes, slayer of Dr. Ernest E. Roberts, was placed on probation for ten years today " by Judge Gavin W. Craig of the superior court. Stokes declared he had killed Roberts because the latter ignored a warning to . cease association with Mrs. Stokes. "If there ever was a case where a person who has taken the life of another deserved probation, this is it," said Judge Craig, who added he be lieved Roberts and Mrs. Stokes were equally to blame for Stokes' act. The slaying occurred October 10, 1919. According to Stokes, who was an officer in the 12th division, while Roberts was a captain in the medical corps during the war, he. had warned the physician to "keep away from Mrs. Stokes." BRITISH TO LAY CABLE BY EDGAR B. PIPER. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., June 24. (Editorial" Correspondence.) They arc saying that arrangements may be made to transmit to the demo cratic convention, through the mar velous device known as the "mag navox" and the other equally great but better known modern wonder, the long distance telephone, the speaking voice of President Wilson. .Whether or not the convention is enabled thus to hear the physical voice of the invalid president, it will yet be true that the voice of the president will be heard there, and it will be a dominating influence. Other men will have something to say and they will be heeded, but it will be to the exact extent that they do not traverse the known wishes and intentions of Woodrow Wilson. No platform will be adopted which does not meet his views and even consider his whimsies, and no can didate will be chosen who does not have the justly celebrated Wilson okch. . League Chief Concern. ' It is not likely that the president will seek to dictate all the planks as he did at St. Louis four years ago to the crossing of the final "T" and the dotting of the last "I"; but he will say explicitly what is to be done about the league of nations, and he will say also what is to be said about the. troublesome prohibition question and the even more troublesome Irish question. "What he will in all likeli hood want to have said about prohi bition is nothing. All the rest, in cluding labor, may' be taken for granted, and there will be no special difficulty about an understanding. It is unquestionably true that the paramount concern of Mr. Wilson is about his pet achievement, the league. Battered and frayed as it is, it is .yet his very own, and he will not suffer it to be trifted with. The responsibility for an expression on the explosive and vexatious Irish problem the delegates will be glad to pass to Mr. Wilson for a solution. He will desire to let it alone, as the republicans did at Chicago, in the hopeless belief that the risk of mak ing a democratic issue out of it is too great. Bryan Zealous as Ever. Mr. Bryan is on his way here, filled with fiery zeal to put democ racy on- record for the dry cause. Failing that, he will use all his pow ers to defeat the schemes of the "wets" to procure a liberal plank. CARMAN REPORTS HOLD-UP Conductor on Willamette Heights Line Describes Robber. E. H. Green, conductor on Depot Morrison street car No. 144. reported to the police last night that he had been held up by one man at the end of the car line on Willamette Heights and robbedof $10 of the company's money. The robber left Green his own money and his watch, the car man said. ' The conductor was changing the trolley for the return trip, he said, when the robber covered him with a nickel-plated revolver and forced him to submit to search. The robber wore an army overcoat, a trench hood and green glasses, the carman said. He was described as slender and about six feet 'tall. After the robbery he was said to have disappeared in the underbrush. OREGON GOAT NETS $1750 Experts Say Price Highest Ever Paid In U. S. SAN ANGELO. Tex., June 24. The sum of $1760 was paid by B. M.

(Spe SAN FRANCISCO, June 24. More and more elements of uncertainty appeared in the lineup of the demo cratic national ' convention today as the iealers of first magnituda ar rived in increasing numbers and put their heads together over questioas of policies and men. For the time being the platforn held its place as the big topic of cogi tation and negotiations, with the problem of bone-dry prohibition the chitf material for controversy. Talk of candidates, in a moribund stage for a week, was revived appre ciably as the convention crowds gath ered. Boostersfor- Palmer. Cox and a half dozen other aspirants became increasingly active among unin structed delegates, and a whole bevy of favorite sons and dark horses de veloped with headquarters of their own. Ghost Not Easily Downed. Meantime the phantom McAdoo boom stalked serenely through hotel corridors and conference rooms, leav ing behind a trail of uncertainty and speculation. Though publicly eiecut ed at the hands of' Mr. McAdoo him self, the movement did not down. In deed, its perambulations were sug' gestive of the pink of vigor, and it turned up uninvited as the ghost at the' council table of more than on candidate's manager. . " On several questions of convention organization, too. the party chiefs were in a quandary. There were some rumblings of a fight against Senator Glass, the administration -choice for chairman of the platform committee, and the problem of choosing a per manent convention chairman got into a mess which threatened to upset seriously the plans of some adminis tration supporters. Walsh In Storm Center. Senator . Walsh of Montana, who voted in the senate last March for ratification of the peace treaty with the republican reservationsr promised to become the storm center of th organization fight. In some quartet he was urged aa a candidate against Senator Glass for head of the plat form committee, though others thought he should have the perma nent chairmanship instead. He ha the backing of William J. Bryan and was said to be favored also by other powerful forces more or less out of accord with some administration poll- Canada-to-A us tralia Line of 6000 Miles to Be Duplicated. HONOLULU, T.

Yesterday was the 46th anniversary of the birth of W. Freeland Kendrick. retiring imperial potentate ot the An cient Arabic Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine. Likewise It was the birthday of thousands of crippled and maimed kiddies in North America. Perhaps it was not their individual birthdays, but events occurring in Portland will make them look back on Thursday, June 25.' 1920, as the day on which their dreams came true. The representatives of the nobility of North America, remembering the birthday of their retiring chieftain and, desiring to honor him, presented a check for $7000. Mayor Baker, presenting the check informed Noble Kendrick that it was the wish of the nobility that H-i pur chase some article with the money given him as a remembrance of his year of extraordinary service to the Mystic Shrine. Without hesitation. Nobis Kendrick announced that he appreciated the gift, the love which prompted the of fering, but that he would not pur chase an article with the money. In stead, he said he would place it in a service dearest to his heart. "With your permission, nobles will place this check in the Myati Shrine fund for crippled, orphan and friendless children. No gift that could purchase will bring me the hap piness that I will gain through the opportunity of joining the nobility, of North America in extending a help ing hand to the little crippled kid dies, who, without help, would have no chance in this busy world of ours. Nobles, I thank you." The patrol and band of Alzafar temple of San Antonio marched to the Multnomah hotel at 7:30 o'clock last evening and gave a two-hour sere nade to Mr. Kendrick after which he was presented with an enormous bou quet of assorted roses, lupins and other flowers ' of the state. The presentation spech was delivered by Noble George L. Winsor, who is also an imperial representative from Al zafar temple. Mr. Kendrick thanked them heart ily .and reminded the nobles of the debt he already owed them by reason of their, hospitality to him and his party on the occasion of his visit to San Antonio last year.

The floral parade yesterday pre sented to Portland and the visiting Shrinera a series of the most mag nificehtly decorated floats and cars ever seen in any Rose Festival pageant. - In this respect, the long-awaited event was a most complete success. But as the parade began its four- mile march rain started to fall and before half a mile of the route had been traversed the rain was pouring and every participant drenched. Queen!

From 5-months-oId baby Jeanette, who rode as tire honor attraction in the Albcrtina Kerr baby home entry. to the doughty Shrine bands which played with undaunted enthusiasm throughout the entire route, the rain Was taken as a misfortune to b treated in evident good humor. Of the score of babies in the va rious baby home entries, none of whom were more than 3 years old, n.ot one whimpered. Instead, like the little Trojans they were, they smiled, happily at the crowd, winning the -hearts of thousands along the long route. Two 5 1 rep la Rain. , All but two. And those two de cided that bad weather conditions were something to sleep through. Drenched to the skin, they calmly turned over on their sides and slum- -bered. The babies and the children were an inspiration to everyone. Who could repine at the weather when a score tof tots in pink, riding on the Adams Garment Manufactur ing company entry, could sing so sweetly: "Nobody cares how wet we are." And who dare complain when a dozen sweet little maidens from the prize-winning entry of "Spring," made by the Alameda residents, pluckily danced over four miles of wet, slip pery pavement, with their ballet shoes and flimsy garb soaked. . Roses Not Muck Used. With the exception of the fire de partment entries, roses were not So much used in decorative effects as In previous years. Scarcely one of the community entries, which unques tionably were the feature of the pageant, used the rose as the main- , stay in decorative work. But every variety of flower In Ore gon, wild and cultivated, was used to its fullest extent, not only as a mag nificent presentation of Oregon's floral possibilities but as a means of artistic contribution. The fire department entries, while limited in number, were even finer than in previous years, while those of city departments proved novel, inter esting and effective. Undoubtedly the most novel entry in the entire parade was the water department entry, which presented in miniature, concrete works and all. the Mount Tabor reservoir, even to the fountain, playing In the center.
