LEADING FEATURES OF CON
FERENCE OF TODAY.
The great event scheduled for today
in the annual conference of the Ore
gon Methodist Episcopal Church I the
excursion to Salem and the dedica
tion of the Kimball School of The
ology of the 'Willamette University by
Bishop "Warren.
The special train, bearing the con
ference members, their wives and lay
men, will leave Portland at 10 A. M.
and will return, leaving Salem at 4
P. M., according to the present sched
ule. The dedication of a theological
school Is without precedent In the his
tory of the church In the Paclflo
Northwest.
Bishop "Warren and his cabinet, com-'
posed of the four presiding elders of
the Oregon conference, have been bus
ily engaged in preparing the pastoral
appointments during the past week in
their spare momenta, and it is probable
they vlll be read at a session tonight,
following ths return of the excursion
train from Salem.
It la probable a brief business ses
sion will be held this morning pre
vious to the departure of the excursion
train.
To an audience of more than 4000 peo
ple, crowding the great tent and over
flowing Into the street and adjacent va
cant ground. Bishop Henry W. Warren,
presiding over the Oregon conference of
the Methodist Episcopal Church, preached
at Sunndyside yesterday morning in his
characteristic manner, holding the rapt
attention of the vast throng for nearly
one hour. In the afternoon he accom
panied a party of distinguished clergy
men to Lents, where he dedicated a new
church that was erected there through
the ceaseless toll and unremitting efforts
of Rev. G. P. Bennett and his followers.
Bishop Warren's morning address, the
dedication of the new Methodist Episco
pal Church at Lents, the children's rally
in the afternoon, the special gathering of
the Kpworth League hosts in the evening
end the preaching service following, were
the leading events of the conference yes
terday. Fully 6000 people attended the various
services at Sunnyside yesterday, making
it the greatest day of the conference,
which has been declared by many to be
the best ever held by the Oregon church,
both in point of numbers attending and
in interest and unique features.
Stirring scenes occurred on the plat
form in presence of the great audience
before Bishop Warren delivered his ad
dress. Honored pioneer ministers and
their wives, gray and bent, grown old in
their service of the church on the fron
tier, were tendered an ovation when in
troduced. The Chautauqua salute was
given, amid outbursts of applause and
fervent "Amens."
Perhaps the most conspicuous of all
the veterans was Rev. Chauncey Hosford,
ct years of age, who proudly accepted
Bishop Warren's invitation to "say some
thing." Pioneer Treacher Talks.
"I preached my first sermon In Port
land in- a building that was used for a
cooper shop," said P.ev. Mr. Hosford,
proudly. "At that time Portland con
sisted of 14 cabins." He was loudly
cheered.
Bishop Warren consecrated Miss Eva
Lund a deaconess, after the introduction
of pioneer ministers. She is a graduate
of the Deaconess Training School at San
Francisco and has been devoting herself
to the Eugene charge. The consecration
service was most impressive. Special
music was furnished by the choir of Sun
nyside Methodist Church, and the congre
gation Joined in singing of hymns.
When Bishop Warren arose to speak
he faced one of the largest congregations
ever assembled in Portland. The people
crowded every corner of the big tent and
thousands were turned away at the en
trance. Bishop Warren emphasized the charac
teristics of Jesus Christ as the son of
God, who, though divine, was also human
and suffered in all things like others.
"He was like unto God," said Bishop
Warren, "in that he worked, Betting a
great and lasting example to mankind,
showing that all work is honorable." Any
person who does not work is not like
God, added the speaker.
Because Christ was more broad-minded
than his enemies he was maligned and
misrepresented, said Bishop Warren, and
any person now who is likewise is given
similar treatment. Because Christ was
pure and holy he was. despised by the
multitudes and they said he was pos
sessed of a devil, and yet In all times he
set the glorious example of standing
steadfast in time of trials. Christ was
tempted in all things, yet stood without
fault. The most essential attribute of
man, said the speaker, Is bravery, and
Christ was the bravest of men, and yet
the tendercst, teaching with rare tact
and Judgment the great doctrines that
were to revolutionize the world.
Collection for Superannuated.
Conference claimants, thoughtlessly re
ferred to by some people as "worn out
preachers," were well remembered In a
special collection amounting to more than
$300, which will be applied to relieve their
financial needs and make glad their
liearts in their declining years.
Accompanied by John H. Coleman, pres
ident of Willamette University: Rev. B.
F. Rowland, presiding elder of East Port
land district; Rev. W. H. Selleck, pastor
of the First Methodist Episcopal Church
of Salem, and other ministers and promi
nent laymen, Bishop Warren boarded a
trolley car at 2 o'clock and went to Lenta,
where the new church was dedicated.
Though the. church edifice was erected
and turned over to the denomination un.
der trying circumstances, no dedication
service was ever more impressive and
characteristic of Methodism. One year
ago Rev. G. P. Bennett, declared "worn
out," but evidently far from it either
physically or spiritually, went to Lents,
determined to build a church and organ
ize it for presentation to the Oregon con
ference. Mr. Bennett was at first told that he
need not attempt the undertaking he out
lined when he appeared at Lents, and
he was given but little encouragement.
None appeared to be In sympathy with
the movement, but filled with faith and
believing It to be his duty to proceed
and to overcome all obstacles, Mr. Ben
nett applied himself to the task and soon
gathered about him a few who stood
fast and helped to raise the money fo
the purchase of lots and the building ma
terial. .
The times of discouragement passed
away and the trustees of the Lents
church were able to stand before Bishop
Warren yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock
and present as a gift to the Oregon con
ference one of the neatest small church
edifices in the East Portland district.
Bishop Warren's Address.
Bishop Warren, in his gracious man
ner, delivered a brief address, saying he
still saw before him the great multitude
of the morning service at Sunnyside. He
declared that he was jUBt as gratified to
speak to scores as to thousands.
"In Paraguay I once preached to & con
gregation of nine," said Bishop Warren,
"and I greatly enjoyed it. My wife was
one of the number, my daughter a second
and I was the third; there were six
others. And so I come to you this after
noon glad to be here. It is no trouble
for me, but a great pleasure. The Meth
odist Episcopal Church is dedicating
about 20 churches every week some of
more cost than others, but all are of the
same value in my eyes. Adieu."
A special collection and subscription was
taken, clearing away the building fund
debt and placing the church in good finan
cial condition. Then Bishop Warren called
upon Rev. Mr. Bennett to speak.
"We didn't come here because we were
asked to, but because we couldn't be
kept out," said Rev. Mr. Bennett, in a
voice choked with emotion, and with tear

in his eyes. "God wanted us here. I
said to the people that they could not
get along without us, for what place ever
amounted to anything without a Metho
dist church? But It's all right now, for
we have the church."
While Bishop Warren was dedicating
the church at Lents, one of the largest
gatherings of children ever held in Port
land was In progress in the big tent at
Sunnyside. It is estimated that 1500 were
present. Addresses were made by W. R.
F. Brown, E. W. Elayer and T. L. Jones
on appropriate subjects.
Features of the Day.
At 5 o'clock an open-air meeting was
held at Thirty-fourth and Belmont streets
and at 6 o'clock the Epworth League of
Portland, under the leadership of Burgess
F. Ford, president of the City Union,
gathered in the .big tent and were ad
dressed by Rev. G. H. Feese, of Cor
vallis. The evening service was a notable
event, large numbers being present to
hear a sermon by Rev. W. H. Heppe,
pastor of Centennary Methodist Episcopal
Church.
E
CLINCH ' PENNANT BY TAKING
SIX STRAIGHT FROM SEALS.
Team the Best Portland Has Ever
Had, and Men Are All Play
ers, Not Roisterers.
Perhaps Parke Wilson and his band
of SealB, and those Bay City fans will
give up their hopes of winning the
pennant now. Their hopes must have
gone glimmering; yesterday afternoon
when Portland's pennant grabbers, by
taking both Sunday games, won the
entire series from San Francisco. It is
by taking this entire series from the
Seals that McCredie's men have deliv
ered the Pacific Coast League cham
pionship to Portland. Nothing short of
the death of McCredie's entire team
can keep them from bringing home
the bunting to the' Rose City.
The flag will be'welcome all right
and will be unfurled from the big flag
staff at the ball grounds with the glad
shouts of the locals who have not seen
a pennant for so long now that they
have forgotten what it looks like. The
Coast League pennant is no cheap af
fair. It is a handsome silk banner, one
worthy of winning. Whether the cere
mony of flaunting the flag will take
place after the team returns home, or
whether the fun will be delayed until
the season opens next year is a mat
ter for the McCredies to decide. Usual
ly the fun is delayed until the opening
of the new season.
It is to bo regretted that the Port
land club of this season could not be
held together another season. Of course
Manager McCredie will surround him
self with another lot of good ball play
ers for the season of 1907, but he will
have to collect together a fast lot of
players to be anywhere near as good
as those of his team who have been
gobbled up by the major leagues. Not
only was the team made up of clever
players, but for the first lime in many
years, the men on the team were ball
players and not booze fighters. McCre
die's men were a sober, clean-cut lot;
of young fellows and there hasn't been
a man on the team who throughout the
entire season hasn't conducted himself
like a gentleman. They were aggressive
and at the same time they won games
without umpire baiting.
SHOOTS HIMSELF IN LEG
Willis Hlnes Boy Hunter, May Lose
Limb Through Accident.
Willis Hines, 13 years old, accidentally
shot himself with a 22 rifle yesterday
afternoon while out hunting with his
16-year-old brother and a boy friend in
the woods beyond South Portland. He
received a serious wound in one of his
legs, the bullet imbedding itself in the
bone. Hines lives with his parents at SS
Grover street.
Hines was carrying his gun with the
barrel pointing downward when it was
discharged. The boy became unconscious
and his two companions carried him to
Corbett street and Hamilton avenue,
where they placed him on a car and
took him home. As the wound was pro
nounced serious by the attending physi
cian Hines was removed to the Good
Samaritan Hospital yesterday afternoon.
The surger.s at the hospital hope to
save the leg.

AUTOS GDLL1DE0N
THE LINNTON ROAD
Lawrence Holman Is Knocked
Senseless but Not
Badly Hurt.
THREE MISHAPS IN ROW
Arthur C. Seeley Gets Sprained Ankle
in One Mix Vp Street-Car Aids
in Making Work for the
Repair Shops.
In a series of automobile accidents oc
curring on the Llnnton road last night,
Lawrence Holman, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Herbert Holman, was severely injured
and four big touring cars made ready
for the repair shop. Some of the other
occupants of the cars that figured in
the various smashups were slightly
bruised. Holman was knocked senseless
in a collision between two automobiles
about one mile this side of the Clare
mont Tavern, and is now at the Good
Samaritan Hospital. He is badly bruised
and has a deep cut on the side of his
head, but his condition is not serious.
- There were three separate accidents,
and all three occurred within the short
space of half an hour. One machine,
after escaping destruction in a collis
ion with another automobile, proceeded
on its way only to be run down by a
street-car. That was its finish. The
first accident, the one in which Holman
was hurt, occurred at about 10 o'clock.
The others followed in rapid succession.
That three accidents should happen in
one night on the same road and in such
a short space of time is looked upon as
a peculiar, coincidence, but all appear to
have been unavoidable.
Young Holman. while driving homeward
along the Llnnton road alone, had trouble
with his machine which stopped aDout a
mile this side of Claxemont Tavern. While
he was engaged in repairing the machine,
a car containing, a party of tourists and
driven by a chauffeur named S. S. Gordon
drove up. At the request of Holman
Gordon attempted to give assistance in
the repair work.
Stops to Give Him Aid.
The Gordon machine was coming from
Portland and stopped alongside of the
one that had broken down. If anything,
the second car was a foot or more ahead
and the powerful headlights were shining
directly across the road. The Holman
machine did not have rear lights and to a
driver coming towards the city it was
probably impossible to distinguish more
than the one machine.
Running at a rather fast, but not ex
cessive rate of speed, another touring car,
driven by Floyd Cook and containing
Harry Litt and Arthur C. Seeley. rounded
the corner coming from Claremont Tav
ern. Cook saw the headlights of the Gor
don machine, but on either side the way
looked clear and he attempted to pass to
the right.
He struck the disabled Holman machine,
which was in the shadow of the head
light of the car alongside, a quartering
blow. Holman at that moment was bend
ing over the front of his car, and the
shock of the Impact threw him several
feet, rendering him unconscious. Harry
Litt, who was sitting in the front seat
next to Cook, took a high dive and landed
In the middle of the road.
The collision disarranged the steering
gear of the Cook machine, and it took
a cross country run into a field near by.
It tore through the fence, but as Cook
had applied the emergency brakes when
the craeh came, it stopped before any
more damage was done. Both Cook and
Arthur Seeley managed to keep their
seats.
Just then a motor car containing Sol
Blumauer and his wife and daughter hap
pened along. Mrs. Blumauer and her
daughter got out, and the limp form of
Holman was placed in the machine. Then
a run was made for, the hospital, it being
believed that Holman was seriously hurt.
He regained consciousness, however, be
fore more than a mile had been covered.
The Blumauer car, after Holman had
been left at the hospital, returned to the
scene of the accident to get Mrs. and
Miss Blumauer.
Seeley's Ankle Sprained.
Seeley, when he had recovered from
the shock, felt of himself to find out
whether he was all present or accounted
for, and discovered a sprained ankle.
Will Barker came bowling along in his
new touring car at about this time and
was pressed into service to secure medi
cal attendance for Seeley. Taking Seeley
in with him he started for the city, but
had gone only a mile and a half when
his car ran squarely into Fred A. Krib's
car, which was coming out from Port
land. Kribs' car was disabled, but the
occupants were uninjured, and the
Barker machine, though slightly dis
figured, was in running order.
But it was slated to get its needlngs
soon. While Barker was speeding it up
the hill near the fair grounds and start
ing to cross Thurman street the auto
was struck in the rear by a Willamette
Heights street-car. The benzine buggy
snorted and stopped in its tracks a dead
one. This ended the series of accidents.
The crossing where the Llnnton Road
runs into Thurman street is admittedly
dangerous. Early in the afternoon the
Sol Blumauer machine bumped into a
street-car at the same place, but the
damage was small.
The Holman and Barker cars were
towed into town late last night, but the
other two machines were so badly
wrecked that nothing could be done with
them. They will be brought in this morn-

Gordon Exonerates Cook.
Gordon, who was a witness to the first
accident, declares that Cook was not to
blame in striking the Holman car. Hol
man's car had no rear lights and being
headed toward Portland, while Cook was
coming in the other direction. Gordon
declares that only his own machine with
the glaring headlights could be distin
guished. BRITISH COLUMBIA OVERRUN
BY EAST INDIANS.
Each Ship From the Orient Brings
Hundreds of an Unde
sirable Class.
VANCOUVER, B. C Sept. 30. Special.)
Having settled the Chinese problem by
the enforcement of a head tax, British
Columbia is now threatened with a Hin
doo invasion. Within the last three
months 4000 natives of India have settled
in Vancouver, and every ship from the
Orient is rapidly bringing hundreds more.
With the arrival of each shipload, the
scal4 of prices of manual labor goes stead
ily down, and from all parts of British
Columbia has arisen a cry for drastic
measures to dam this flood of Oriental
labor. Viewed from an economic stand
point, the Hindoos are considered as bad
as the Chinese. They do not possess the
qualities necessary for the making of good
citizens; they invest no money in the
country; they reduce the price of labor,
and their intention is to leave the coun
try as soon as they have amassed what,
in their eyes, is a competency. Then,
again, they are a serious menace to the
health of the community, as they are en
tirely ignorant of the most common laws
of sanitation.
There is a danger that the Hindoos will.
In a short time, cross the line into the
State of Washington and flood the West
ern coast of the United States, Just as the
Chinese haye done.
SIKH POLICE GO ON STRIKE.
Glowing Reports From Compatriots
in America Turn Their Heads.
SHANGHAI, Oct 1. The Sikh police
men in the British concession have gone
on a strike. They demand an increase of
pay and also express a desire to terminate
their contract, for the reason that com
patriots in America are writing to them
glowing accounts of the wages received
there.
Volunteers were out, but the striking
policemen have shown no disposition to
ward violence. It is probable that the
matter will be settled amicably.
ROCKEFELLER IS MISSING
RELATIVES ARE GUESSING AS
TO HIS WHEREABOUTS.
Standard Oil Magnate Was Last Seen
at His Forest Hill Mansion
Ten Days Ago.
.CLEVELAND, Sept. 30. (Special.) For
weeks, John D. Rockefeller, the richest
man in the world, and probably one of the
most widely known, has been mysteriously
missing. None of his friends, even his
brother-in-law, W. C. Rudd. know where
he is. He has not attended church for
three weeks, and has not been at his
Forest Hill estate for the last half of that
time. His last appearance "was when his
grandson. Fowler McCormick, came to
Cleveland to visit Forest Hill.
While there is but little anxiety among
his close personal friends as to the safety
of the multi-millionaire, there is as much
curiosity in Cleveland as to the where
abouts of the head of the oil trust as
there was last Spring when he disap
peared, and was said to have been seen
in half a dozen widely different parts of
the globe at one and the same time.
Rumors of like nature have sprung
up here to account for his latest 'Now you
see me, now you don't." act.
He Is said to be in Chicago isiting
relatives. Important maneuvers of the
Standard Oil interests have been declared
to have made a visit to New York neces
sary. A confidential source says that he
is now getting .close to nature by visiting
an old farmer whom he has known for
60 years.

Arrested Major Makes Serious
Charges Against His Colonel.
MANILA, Sept. 30. (Special.) General
courts-martial are promised as the result
of scandal which has convulsed the Army
column at Fort McKinley. Major Charles
G. Ayres had an altercation with Colonel
Henry P. Kingsbury and as a result was
ordered to quarters under arrest. Colonel
Kingsbury then preferred charges of in
subordination against the Major, who re
taliated with charges against Kingsbury,
alleging misconduct with the wife of a

Howard H. Fearey Receives
All but Fatal Injuries.
FOOTBALL'S FIRST VICTIM
Athlete Crushed and Bruised Be
neath Avalanche of Humanity in
Blocking End Run During M.
A. A. C. Practice Game.
Football in Portland has claimed its
first victim for the season in Howard H.
Fearey, who was seriously injured yes
terday forenoon in a practice game on
Multnomah field. He received internal in
juries and while it is thought he will
recover unless complications develop his
condition Isextreraely precarious.
The "Victim, who is a member of the

at 'Moantrfr&or. He is i3 years of age

first M-ultnffmEW 'teani tor this season,
having 'playeflend onv the second team
last year. Yesterday m Amp Is .when the
members -went oiii ttof priJftie'e. raiey were
divided into two squads. It was nearly
noon when the members fit one of the
squads attempted to make, ant end run.
It was cleverly executed and" would have
been successful had it not been for
Fearey. - '
There were six men in the formation
which tried to make the end run. They
eluded most of their opponents, but
Fearey intercepted them, throwing him
self full against the avalanche of hu
manity that descended upon him. He
stopped them effectually, but all six men
making the rush piled up on top of the
daring young player.
When the players were extricated from
the tangle it was found that Fearey was
hurt. He was not unconscious, but com
plained of terrible pains In his abdomen
and was bleeding from the mouth. He
was hurried to his home in a carriage,
where Dr. R. L. Gillispie, of the Mount
Tabor Sanitarium, attended him.
Examination showed that Fearey had
suffered Internal injuries, besides being
severely bruised. Just how serious these
injuries are cannot now be determined.
Late last night it was reported that the
young man was resting comfortably and
that his condition showed slight improve
ment. From the nature of the injuries it is
believed that Fearey received a powerful
elbow jab in the stomach, or was
trampled on. He is horribly bruised and
Dr. Gillispie stated last night that the
stomach had been crushed.
No blame is attached to anyone in par
ticular for the accident. A significant fact
in connection with the accident is that
the practice game was being conducted
under the modified rules, which are sup
posed to eliminate mass plays.
The Multnomah team has been prac
ticing for about three weeks and this Is
the first accident of any consequence that
has occurred.
SOLDIERS LEAVE TODAY
(Continued From Pasa 1.)
watching the preparations the soldier
boys were making to depart for "the
front," thousands coming from Portland
and surrounding towns. Wagons of the
quartermaster's department laden with
all sorts of army impedimenta filled the
streets all day long.
The officers and men will entrain as
soon as the passenger train is at their
disposal, and in spite of the fact that
few of them have had a wink of sleep
since the orders to mobilize at Newport
News came, they have gone into the
preparations for departure with a zest

Expect to See Fighting.
At department headquarters the gen
eral impression is that the mountain bat
teries will play an important part in the
military operations in Cuba should open
revolt result from Secretary Taft's seiz
ure of the reins of power as Provisional
Governor.
The topography of the island is such,
that a mere handful of insurgents could
oppose the offensive operations of an
armed force on foot or horseback for an
indefinite period in the mountain fast
nesses, hidden defiles, ravines and dense
forests of the interior, whereas the moun
tain batteries equipped with the well
trained and sure-footed mules, could
scramble to any mountain strongholds
which the revolutionists might occupy.
They have the additional advantage of
being equipped with rapid-fire field guns.
"It May Be for Years."
It Is believed that these two batteries
will be gone for an indefinite period,
owing to the instability of the Cuban
Government and the probable need of
permanent American garrisons. The feel
ing here is that the naughty little men
of Cuba will never be content under any
system of self-government; that peaceful,
independent government is impossible and
that the only solution of the Cuban dif
ficulty will be the eventual raising of
the American flag over the island.
Going . as they do under orders from
Washington, and remaining as they must
in Cuba until ordered elsewhere, the boys
of the two batteries feel that they are
bidding a final farewell to Vancouver,
that has been their home for the past
two years.
About 200 officers and men comprise
the present strength of the two batter
ies, about equally divided between them.
They will be recruited to the full quota
of 120 officers and men each when they
are mobilized at Newport News, proba
bly next Saturday, when they are due to
arrive there. About 275 animals are a
part of the equipment, including the
mules of the two batteries and officers'
horses.
Commanders of Batteries.
The expedition will be in command of
Major Ira A. Haines, who has Just been
promoted to that rank, having been
transferred from duty at Atlanta, under
the rank of senior captain, to Vancouver
post only a few weeks ago.
Captain E. Lee Irwin is In command
of the Seventeenth battery. First Lieu
tenant James Lamdon and Second Lieu
tenants Robert L. Davis and Edward Wil

The Eighteenth battery is in command
of Captain Edmund M. Blake, with First
Lieutenants Harry C. Williams and John
B. Murphy and Second Lieutenants Ed

Each battery is equipped with four 2.95
