Annual Assembly Must Bo Held In
June, Tnder Rules of Church.
General Status of Dio
cese Is Discussed.
Delegates to the 20th annual conven
tion of the Episcopal Church of the
diocese of Oregon met at Trinity
Church yesterday and resolved them
selves into a conference committee for
a consideration of the status of the
church in this diocese. After asseni-.
bling. It was discovered that under the
church constitution the annual con
vention must be held during the
month of June. Bishop Charles Scad
ding, reported to the assembled dele
gates that he had obtained legal ad
vice and had been advised that legal
complications would arise regarding
all incorporated boards of the church
If the business of the convention were
proceeded with. It was then decided
that the delegates as a conference
committee should receive and act on
ail of the reports, not affecting incor
porated bodies, and authorize Bishop
Hcadding to call another convention
for next month, when the proceedings
of the committee at the present meet
ing could be ratified and -the recom
mendations acted on. Bishop Scad
ding yesterday issued a call for the
convention to be held June' 23.
The diorese of Oregor. consists of
that part of the state west of the Cas
cades, including about 60 parishes and
missions, most of which are represent
ed in the committee jconference, which
will conclude its deliberations , with a
session this morning, when the various
reports will be acted on and a general
discussion will be held on the subject
of missions.
Bishop's Annual Address.
At the opening of the afternoon ses
sion yesterday Bishop Scadding deliv
ered his annual address, extracts from
which are appended. In his report the
bishop commented on the division of
the state into two dioceses and ex
plained that Its real purpose was fur
ther to promote the work of the
church In this state. The work being
done by the Good Samaritan Hospital
and St. Helen's Hall, which are owned
and directed by the church, was com
mended. Reference was made to the
pressing need for more clergymen in
the field and the demand for addi
tional funds for their compensation.
While $600 is being expended monthly
for this work, the requirements of the
field demand Increased appropriations,
and an appeal was made to the vari
ous parishes to respond with funds.
Among the Interesting reports sub
mitted was that of the Board of Mis
sions, which calls attention to the need
for increasing financial support from
the whole diocese for the growing
needs of missions. During the last
year the board disbursed $7500 in Its
work, while its estimated receipts for
the coming year. Including $2000 from
the general convention, are S7900. The
, board approved Bishop Scadding' a
plans for associate missions, which
will require an additional $2500 an
nually, part of which has been prom
ised from the East, although the bulk
must come from the parishes in the
diocese.
In its report the board made the
following recommendations: That
parishes and missions be urged to re
spond more liberally than ever with
subscriptions with which to further
this important work; that the conven
tion authorize the board to appoint a
proper committeee - to visit the
church of the diocese, explain the
situation and appeal for subscriptions
in addition to the regular apportion
ment; that the convention authorize
and direct the board to provide for an
annual canvass of each parish and
mission for increased pledges.
Increase Bishop's Salary.
The trustees of the Episcopal fund
recommended that the salary of Bishop
Scadding be increased from $3000 to
$3600 per annum as soon as the finan
ces will permit. Several other reports,
including those detailing the work of
the Good Samaritan Hospital and St.
Helen's Hall, were read and referred
to the. proper committees.
A lively discussion was provoked by
the reading of the report of Paul Van
Kridagh, treasurer of the diocese,
which showed among other things a
gradual increase during the last few
years in the cost of holding the annual
conventions. The subject was intro
duced by James Laldlaw, lay delegate
from Portland, who inquired why it
was that the expenses of the conven
tion had Increased. He protested be
cause of the fact that Trinity Church
was required to pay nearly one-third
of the total expense of the conven
tions, while In the meetings it had
no larger representation than any
other pariah in the diocese. He de
nounced this as taxation without
equitable representation.
Dr. A. A. Morrison, rector of Trinity,
concurred in that -view and concluded
his remarks by suggesting that an
other committee on equalisation
which apportions the cost of the con
ventions be selected on which Trinity
Church shall be represented. Treas
urer Van Kridagh and several other
delegates defended the action of the
committee in its apportionment ana
explained that the apportionment was
made on a basis of the expenditures
of each parish. Furthermore, he
pointed out that Trinity Church had
one-fourth of the total number of
communicants in the diocese.

In the course of his annual address.
Bishop Scadding said: ,
Comments on Division.
The general convention assembled in Rich
mond accented our rlca asking that all that
portion of Oregon lying: east of the Cascade
Range be ceded over to the reneral board
of domestic and foreipn missions to become
missionary jurisdiction or laftrn urcaon.
I desire to state at the very outset how sin
cere la my regret In parting: with the peo
ple of Eastern Oregon, from whom I have
received so many kindnesses, and such loyal
sympathy. Gladly would I have continued
tny ministrations among mem naa i wiievcu
that the work of the church could have been
better promoted by preserving t he in I egri ty
of the diocese. The action, setting; oft the
new missionary district was taken pone too
soon in the interest or tne cnurcn ana m
mv fflciencv in that oetiair. mere musi
etlll be between the two portions or mis :
great state much sympathy and common in
terest. The bishops of Oregon will stand mae Dy
side In their efforts for the church in Ore
gon, and the betterment of the state, and
will lay no emphasis on the points of the
compass, while each will do his best to be
a true snepnera in rnai part ot me iuiu w
which it haa pleased Cod to call him.

Commends St. Helen's Hall.
Our diocesan school for girls is holding
up its excellent reputation, gained under its
first principal. Miss Mary B. Rodney. Since
1903, the Sisters of St. John Baptist have
been in charge. These sisters, known in
England as the "Clewer Sisters' have edu
cational and charitable works in England,
In India, and In the Eastern States, but St.
Helen's Hall is their first work on the Pa
oirtr. rnftaL I thank God for the noble work
that is being done by these sisters and the1
aplendid corps of eniciem teacners wnora
they nave securea u iaiwuw ui b
various departments.
Interviews with the Sister Superior, con
ferences with the teachers, careful reading
of examination papers sent in by the girls,
and critical study of the curricula enahle
me to speak appreciatively of the improved
and now high standard of scholarship. The
certificate of ccllage preparatory work at
St. Helen's Hall is accepted at Wellesley
College, also at the State Universities of
Washington and Oregon. But It Is not only
scholarship that is aimed at. for here the
young daughters of Oregon are surrounded
by all the Influences of a gentle, refined
and cultured Christian home.
Finances off Diocese.
1 Owinz to the In ad ecu ate endowment of
the Episcopate, assessments have stlli to be
made for the Bishop's salary. If we were
a missionary district this salary and travel
ing; expenses would be met by tne general
board, but being a diocese. It has to be met
from the fnterest on the endowment fund
plus assessments on the parishes and mis
eolns. If we in Oregon have fallen be
tween two stools of ample Episcopal en
dowment and suxDort as a missionary dis
trict it is childish to ait on the ground and
cry over our bump. We must get up and
strengthen our Episcopal endowment, and
as soon as possible throw our whole weight
nn It. We can do It if we will, and the way
to do It is to set about It a Ion the line of
some definite and permanent plan, which
plan we truat the trustees will formulate at
an early date.
This year $35O0 was added from contri
butions within the diocese through the M.
T. O.. and to this sum the general board
&dded 11600, making an Increase of $5000.
Our aim must be to secure at least $100,000
In our permanent fund, and then there will
be no need of assessments for the Bishop's
support; unless there is a runner very great
increase in the cost of living.
When Bishop Morris salary was placed
at S3000 the conditions of living were en
tirely different from the preent time, m
you all know from the increase in your
own family expenses, and what-was a mod
rate Income for him has become a lea
sum proportionately for the present time,
and some provision should be made by the
diocese to meet the situation.
' Stipends to Be feet Alde.
When in the East last Autumn. I had the
great satisfaction ot receiving the promise
trom four young men who will be ordained
next month, to come to Oregon and give
their services, as unmarried men. for two

week. -
years in the Associate Mission work, pro
viding they can live together In pairs, and
carry on their work In the apostolic method
of "two by two." These young clergy are
aglow with missionary fervor, but may be
lost to Oregon unless living stipends of S600
as deacons and Z800 as priests can be as
sured them.
Already a little over $1000 is promised in
annual subscriptions from friends outside
the diocese for this work, and as the monoy
comes in it will be paid over to our Dio
cesan Treasurer, who pays all stipends from
our diocesan mission fund. Of course this
amount will not be enough, and I sinT-erely
hope that individuals within the diocese
will aaa to it.
More Clergymen Needed.
Our policy Is not to see how widely the
funds can be scattered, or how many men
can be appointed, but rather to put men
who know how to bring things to pass on
fields where something can be brought to
pass. Two additional clergy are needed for
the missions in and around Portland; two
should be sent to Southern Oregon, and
two should be sent to aid Mr. Horsfall in
Coos and Curry Cduntles.
The field is "white to the harvest, but the
laborers are few."
PETITION FDR WATER DENIED

Mayor Says Action of Council on
Fire Hydrants Has Tied Up the
Water Board's Money.
In denying a petition for more water
and improved system of mains in Cen
ter Addition, the Water Board, at, its
meeting: yesterday morning, revived the
subject of fire hydrants. Mayor Lane
told the petitioners that. Inasmuch as
$42,000 was appropriated by the City
Council for the purchase of hydrants
and the money cannot be expended for
anything else, it is "up to" the Council
either to rescind its action or to assume
the blame for tying up the water funds
as it has done.
"There are a lot of thing we would
like to do as a Water Board," explained
the Mayor, "but the Council has tied up
$42,000 of our funds for the purchase of
fire hydrants, and many things we could
do if that sum were available, we can
not do, in the circumstances. Qo and
tell your Councilman about this, and
see if you can get him to use his influ
ence in adjusting this affair. Tour com
munity is entitled to consideration, and
this Board will do all in its power, but
we are short of funds because the
Council has tied up the $42,000."
In an interview. Mayor Lane said:
"It is a shame that the Council took
this money away from the very people
to whom it should go for more water
and Improved service In various por
tions of the city. The position of the
Water Board is absolutely unasa liable
on this point. We hold that the water
fund should be used to pipe In water to
every house-holder who needs it, just
as fast as it can be done, giving first to
those in greatest need. To force us to
spend $42,000 for fire hydrants out of
this fund, is an outrage, as it takes
away from those to whom It rightfully
should go the water necessary to keep
house, and works an unwarranted hard
ship on all such. Instead of spending
this money to give people water, the
Council says we must buy hydrants
with It, many of which will be put in
downtown, to protect property that
should be protected out of the general
fund."
Asked as to his Intentions as to a
solution of the problem. Mayor Lane
said that, in due time, he will ask the
City Council to rescind its action, and
make an appropriation out of the gen
eral fund for the purchase of hydnnts.
Fire Chief Campbell has repeatedly
called attention in writing to the posi
tlve danger from the great lack of fire
hydrants in various sections of the city,
and in some cases, he reports, public
school buildings have no hydrants near
to protect them. In view of this fact.
THE EPISCOPAL DIOCESAN
It Is pointed out, this controversy be
tween the Council and the Water Board
is most unfortunate, and It is said that
many districts are in grave danger by
fire because of this.
GROCERS MADE VICTIMS
Frank Thompson Secures Sugar by
Means of Bunco Game.
Frank Thompson, a Portland youth
of 22, who began a career of crime at
the age of 11 years and who has kept
it up ever since, !s again in trouble
this time for the theft of a dozen
sacks of sugar from Lang & Co. With
him in the toils are five keeper of
small restaurants, charged with re
ceiving the stolen goods.
Thompson, who has been arrested
for theft and even burglary, attempted
a more cunning plan of operating this
time. By telephoning to Lang & to,
and ordering several sacks on the pre
text that he was a confectioner, the
young man was able to send an ex
press wagon to the store and secure
the sugar without question. He would
then sell the sugar for $3 a sack. This
continued all last week, when the vie
tims awoke to the fraud. Then the
police were notified.
Yesterday morning Thompson at
tempted to bunco the Allen & Lewis
Company by the same game. W. F.
Greer, of that firm, became suspicious.
and when the expressman called for
the sugar he asked for an order. When
the expressman went for the order
Greer followed him, in company with
Patrolman Goltz. who had been called.
They found Thompson waiting at the
corner of sixth and Everett streets,
where Goltz arrested him.
Thompson told where he had dis
posed of the sugar and a complaint
was issued for each of the purchasers.
All of these are keepers of small res
taurants. They are Peter Planch, H.
M. Stanley, J. C. Ritter, Charles
Schmakel and F. A. Nobles. They
were booked at the statiotr, and al
lowed to go pending trial.

Liveryman Asks to Be Arrested So
Question Can Be Decided Qnickly.
Many Have Paid Tax Under
the New Law.
Whether the city can enforce the col
lection of vehicle taxes under the Men-
efe ordinance while the case is on
appeal will be decided in the Circuit
Court, as George Long, who instituted
the suit originally to determine the
question of applying the referendum,
has asked that he be arrested to make
test. He called upon City Auditor
Barbur yesterday morning, and said he
wished to test the case. Mr. Barour
conferred with City Attorney Kava-
naugh, who Instructed that Mr. Lung
be arrested.
City Auditor Barbur ordered the
proper papers drawn up. and will have
them served upon Mr. Long, thus bring
ing the matter immediately into court.
It will be In the nature of a friendly
suit to determine the question as to
whether the Auditor can enforce col
lection of the vehicle tax while the ref
erendum point is on appeal to the Su
preme Court.
This last phase of the vehicle-tax
law, which was passed by Ihe City
Council over the Mayor's veto two
months ago, adds another chapter to
this troublous ordinance. Ever since
its introduction into the Council, It has
experienced opposition of the strongest
kind. Councilman Kellaher, chairman
of the committee on licenses, fought
the measure with all the power at his
command, both in committee and Coun
cil, and when It carried by the usual
factional vote, was Instrumental in
having the referendum petition circu
lated.
George Long, who is a prominent
East Side liveryman, took the case into
the Circuit Court on the question of
whether or not the referendum can be
applied to a measure declared to be a
law. Judge Gantenbein decided that
the referendum did not apply: that the
law was effective, and last week City
Attorney Kavanaugh instructed City
Auditor Barbur to proceed with the col
lection of the taxes. With the publi
cation of this decision in The Ore
gonlan, large numbers - of teamsters
from all parts of Portland called at the
City Hall and paid their license fees.
The officials believe the court will
decide that the Auditor can proceed
with the collection of the license fees.
as it Is explained that, to tie up the
municipality indefinitely on this mat
ter, embarrasses the administration of
public affairs, and if the Court should
hojd that the handa of the local au
thorities are tied until the Supreme
Court renders its decision. It would
be a severe blow.
ine .Meneree ordinance "fixes an
annual tax for all wheeled vehicles,
and the Auditor la now confronted
with a question as to whether those
who paid under the old law, which
required quarterly payments, are en
titled to a return of the first quar
terly payment for 1908, If they com
ply witn tne provisions of the presen
measure. City Attorney Kavanaugh
has been asked for an opinion on this
point, and is working on it now. .

Rheumatism Is caused by an excess of uric acid In the blood, brought
about by the accumulation in the system of refuse matter which the natural
avenues of bodily waste have failed to carry off. This waste or refuse matter
ferments and sours and generates uric acid which is absorbed into the blood
and distributed to all parts of the body, and Rheumatism, with its torturing
pains and aches, inflammation and other disagreeable symptoms, gets pos
session of the system. The aches and pains may be relieved and the inflam
mation temporarily reduced by the application of a good plaster, penetrating
liuiment or some other simple home remedy, but the disease can never be
cured while the blood remains saturated with the irritating, pain-producing
uric acid poison. The cause should be driven from the blood before the
trouble reaches the chronic or helpless stage. S. S. S., a purely vegeteble
remedy, cures Rheumatism by thoroughly cleansing the blood of every
particle of the uric acid poison, and making this vital fluid pure, fresh and
health-sustaining. It filters out from the circulation the remotest particle
of the poison, and when S. S. S. ha3 renovated the blood, Rheumatism is.
thoroughly and permanently cured. Book on Rheumatism and any medical
advice free. , THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA.
