Wkea the history of Portland conven tfcMB of tne year is completed, the first MntmfcU so4on and 15th convention of Um National Association of Ietter-Carriers sttouM be given the credit of being t!k hardest-worked National gathering of the lot. It was after 1 o'clock this mom tag when the Installation of the new offi cers was completed and adjournment Utkon without day. Teeterday a memorial was adopted upon roftort of the committee on resolutions. uppooUng to Congress for an increase in jtay for the men In gray, who have been requested to make no appeals for legisla tion except through the department in wWch they serve. The memorial was therefore directed to Postmaster-General OttrtctyoM, and presents in concise lan gunse the demands, or rather the desires, of the men. LonR and Tedious Count. a TCsterday afternoon the election of offi cers and selection of next convention city was made the order of business at 3 o'clock, the remainder of the session and the evening being devoted to the political contest. "When Uie first ballot was taken there was no choice of .a convention city, and one vacancy remained on oach of the oxfCMtivc committee and committee on constitution and law. A second ballot resulted only In selection of the member on constitution and laws, rendoring a third ballot necessary. Five boards of tellers, each consisting of four members, were appointed by President Keller, as a means of expediting the work. Owing-to the numebr of candidates, the count was tedious, and the Interim between ballots and announcements of results was occu pied In disposing of much routine busi ness. Including appropriation of a very large proportion of the surplus romaining In the treasury of the association, of which mention has been made several times during the past week. Generosity of the organization caused the new vice prosldent to declare that he believed the body had reached the psychological mo ment when, according to some scientists, people become insane, and declared that the delegate should weigh carefully their acts. One of the last motions carried was the donation of $3000 to the retiring president, James C. Keller, In keeping with the precedent of the organization to provide something for its retiring officers. John C Bunton, retiring vice-president. , declared that he did not wish to receive nny mm. when a motion was -pending to give him $800. and the evident disposition to dtelrttnue. the contents of the treasury ceased. Mileage and Per Diem Reports. Reports of the mileage and per diem committee and of the committee on the constitution and laws were re ceived and approved after some dis cussion concerning a portion of the allowances. "When a question was mlsod as to transportation charges of officials is was explained by President Koller that through an arrangement of the transportation committee with the official route about $1200 was Bavod to the association, and the sav ing would have been $1860, had all the delegate come via that route. The matter was brought out when in his statomont one of the officers charged only $7.66 to. railroad fare and $23 to sleeper. After the explanation the Bills wore allowod and the committee applauded for Its service in effecting such a saving. A donation of $10 was voted the Jan itor of the Armory for the extra work; occasioned by the convention. Acting Secretary John Barry Was compensated for his services by an al lowance of $100. Vice-President John C Bunton sub mitted his annual report, dealing with tHe"- organization work of the year. He recommended that the reports of state vice-presidents be included In the published report of the convention. The report was accepted and its rec ommendations approved. Proposed amendment of ilh'e consti tution to devote 25 cents of the per capita tax of $1.50 to organization work under direction of state organ izations was the first point of differ ence of the evening session. After animated dobate the report of theJ. committee, nonconcuring In the reso lution, was adopted. " Order Referendum Vote. Another debate was started by the proposition to change back to the sys tem of annual convention, from the bien nial, as was the rule prior to two years ago at Syracuse, when thp change to biennial conventions was made. The dele gates were reminded that politics had con sumed too much time In Portland, and one speaker urged the need of one session In two years for business. When the discus sion bore Indications of lasting all night n motion to refer the question to a ref erendum vote was adopted. Another point of difference was a pro posal to change the basis of representa tion to one for oach 50 members or ma jor portion, from the presont basis of one for each 20, and to permit delegates to caet-aa many votes as a (branch hasj.presence.

This matter caused a bitter war of words in which the rights of the first and second-class cities were compared by different speakers with widely di vergent opinions. The author of the res olution finally withdrew it, with the con sent of the convention. Board of Tellers Announces Vote. Following a recess of 38 minutes, the report of the board of toHon was an nounced at 9:S0. There was a total of 1209 votes cast, making COS seceosary for a choice. Announcement of the election of J. D. Holland was received with great enthusi asm, the Denver Letter-Carriers' Band bursting out with a fanfare of patriotic aire, and the St. Louis band did likewise. M. A. Fitzgerald moved the election be made unanimous and another oxpiosioa of Joy occurred. Another outburst fol lower the election of E. J. Gal nor. of Muncle. as vice-president, whose election was made unanimous on motion of C Trleber. With difficulty the president fjccoeded in quieting the tumult and si lencing the band, when a party of en thusiastic friends of the successful candi date marched down the aisle singing "On the Banks of the Wabash." Secretary Hc-Elcctcd. E. J. Cantwell, elected secretary with out opposition, has served in that ca pacity for six yoars and is re-elected for the fourth term. There was no choice for treasurer on this ballot; G. W. Butterfleld receiving 5S2. D. J. Geary 3S4 and A. Mac Donald 3C The lowest candidate being dropped under Jeremiah D.

Vote on Convention City. One vacancy existed in the executive board, and aJso on the committee on constitution and laws, and choice of the next convention city necessitating another ballot. Atlantic City led on the first vote with 500. Canton received 43S, Minneapolis 2&i, and Chattanooga 5. Immediately when It. became apparent a second ballot was necessary the Canton contingent and Minneapolis men got busy in working for converts, while Atlantic City's charms were whispered dIMgently among delegates. Each of the cities was represented by delegations that made every possible effort to carry away the prize of the 1&07 convontlon. By a vote of; 455 lor Canton to 39S for Atlantic City, Canton won the prize. Of the eight remaining candidates on the committee on constitution and laws, Messrs. Farrington. Reynolds, Schmidt and Stains withdrew, leaving Carty, El lington. Roark and Snuff in the final con test, in which Roark won with 576 votes.

Northup, administra tor of the estate of Benjamin F. Caton. deceased, against the Citizens' National Bank and A. X. Wilson, to recover $2000 due on a certificate of doposlt.

The Citizens' Bank has no Interest In the controversy and paid the money into court when the suit was filed. Shortly before Caton died he was taken to Good Samaritan Hospital, at the insti gation of Jay Upton, bailiff in the County Court, and Dudley Evans, health officer. Caton' s money was taken with him, and Messrs. Evans and Upton assert they never saw any certificate of deposit. B. M. Simonton. of the Ames Mercantile .Agency, testified that R. O.

Wilson is said to be In New York City, and did not appear at the trial or send on a deposition, but he did telegrffph to his attorney, Charles F. Lord, last June, about the matter. Mr. Lord makes the following statement about his client: "Wilson and Caton were old friends In the East," ho said, "and the former visit ed the old man last Winter when he was in Portland. Late In January, or early In February, of this year, Caton sold WII son tne ceruiicatc. Tne old man was preparing to go to Kentucky to live with hlsMlece. and needing the money, he sold the certificate for $2000. giving Wilson the $Se interest which would be due April 23. Caton then took sick and was unable to make the trip." , Mr. Northup commented on the absence of Wilson, and inquired: "Why did they not tell us where he was. so we could get service on him?" "Because you did not ask It' promptly responded -l&Lord. Mr. Northup frequently referred to the Indorsement on the certificate as forged, and said: "We don't acouse anybody, but some one oia it."

DRAW CHURCHES TOGETHER Plans Nearly Complete for Great Protestant Conference. NEW YORK. SepL 9. Plans are n car Ins: completion for the great religious gathering to be held In this city Novem ber 15 to 2L under the name of the Inter- Church Conference Federation. The raeet- lng. which Is to be held In Carnegie Hall, will be the first In the religious history of the United States to which delegates have been named officially by the var ious Protestant denominations, previous conferences on missions and other topics having been unofficial In character. There will be present from 500 to COO delegates, representing 24 religious bodies, with an aggregate membership of over 1S.O0O.CCO. A general committee, composed In large part of residing ministers and laymen of this city and vicinity. Is In charge of the arrangements for the conference. The programme will make evident that the conference Is In no sense an attempt to- bring the various religious bodies of the country Into one organization. It Is the hope of the leaders of the movement thnt the conference may create a perma nent organization of the churches, which shall bring the various denominations Into better and closer relations than have ever before existed; an organization that will make It possible to voice the attitude of the united Christian churches on great questions, social, ethical, economic and religious, in a way tnat nas never oeiore been possible.
