"The select committee met under order
of the Oreon Annual Conference and
considered the charges and specifications,
against S. A. Starr, D. D., which were
presented -for its consideration, and hav
ing carefully listened to the evidence ''In
the case, and the arguments of the coun

''Charge first, immorality. Specification

cafion second, sustained; ayes, 11? noes,
4. Specification third, sustained; ayes, 10;
3ooes, 5. Specification fourth, sustained;
ayes, 8; noes, 7. The question was then
Tut: 'All the specifications of charge first
celng sustained, do they sustain the
charge of immorality?' Sustained; ayes,
32; noes, 3. In -view of the provisions of
paragraph 224 of the discipline, and -of
She fact that -no allegations dr proof of .
3abor preceding the alleged imprudence i
Sias had place, we deem it Inexpedient
tmi illegal to vote on the charge of im
prudent conduct.
The select number thereupon decided
by vote that A. ,S. Starr, D. D., be ex
fpelled from the ministry and membership
of the Hethodlst Episcopal church.
"Signed: Edward G. Andrews, prcsli-
ment; Gabriel Sykes, secretary.1
The counsel for Starr then gave no- j
'tice that an appeal would be maHe to
the -next Judicial conference from the I
findings.
The Question of undergraduates was
then taken up and considered. The fol- 1
lowing were placed in their proper rank j
an the ministry: Andrew Monroe, Burt
-Bristol, Alvin Bagley, Benjamin Howell,
JDavid Leach, E. H. Bryant. W. P. Drew,
G. G. Haley, L. Pederson. James Moore,

an urgent appeal to the young men, to
maintain with dignity and Christian for
titude the high calling to which they hart
been elected in the ministry of the Meth
odist Episcopal church.
Under the next Question, Ezra Zimmer
man, Robert C. lie, "W. S. Gordon and

when the extent of its territory, resources
and opportunity for church work were
made known. Adjournment then fol
lowed. The church was unable to hold those
who gathered In the evening to hear the
missionary sermon, preached, by Dr. J. S.

There is a feeling of relief that the
Starr case, which threatened to continue
the full length of the conference, has
been, brought to a close. There were
three ballots taken at last ?ghts meet
ing before the penalty to be meted out
to the accused could be fixed. The first
resulted in five for suspension, five for
him to bo deprived of his ministerial
office, and five for expulsion. The sec
ond, seven for expulsion, seven, for depri
vation and one for suspension. The third,
12 for expulsion, two for deprivation and
on for suspension. Dr. Starr left for
Portland tonight He says he had a fair
trial, and the members of the conference
were all friendly to him, but that he was
unable to get Important witnesses in his
behalf before the committee for various
reasons, and that he looks to the Judicial
conference, to which body h"WIll aoDeal
his case, to clear him of the charges and
restore him to his membership in the
church and conference.
