NAPiY WORK.
Duties of Laymen and Clergy
Considered by Episcopal
Convention.
SESSION WILL END TODAY
Next Year's Council Will Meet at
Spokane Woman's Auxiliary to
Meet Today to Listen to Ad
dress by Bishop Scaddlng.
At the afternoon session- of the Primary
Council of the Eighth Missionary Depart
ment, held yesterday in St. David s Epis
copal church, consideration was given to
the general subject, "The Success oi tne
Missionary Campaign Dependent on the
Strength and Loyalty of the Home Base."
Addresses were delivered by Bishop
Wells, of Spokane, Judge Williams and
W. A. M. Van Bokkelen. of Ban Fran
cisco, on the responsibilities of the clergy
men and laymen in the missionary work
of the church.
In the discussion of the question, The
Appointment Plan." which was taken up
later In the afternoon, addresses were
made by Bev. N. B. W. Gallwey. of
San Mateo. Cal.; Rev. J. P. D. Llywd, of
Seattle, and Rev. A. K. Smith, of Ellens
burg. A resolution was passed, naming Spo
kane as the meeting place of the 1909
Council of the Eighth Department. Speak
ing on the relation of the laymen to the
missionary movement, Judge Williams
pointed out that the two responsibilities
of the laymen are to contribute to the
support of missions and encourage others
to do the same. Dhe great problem of
the church, he said, is how to secure the
co-operation of the communicant. It Is
rendered difficult because of the selfish
ness and sordldnesa of the people.
Missions Need Men's Aid.
A large part of the session was devoted
to the discussion of the method of ap
portioning the mlsBtonary support. The
opinion prevailed that the success of the
plan depends ultimately on the Individual.
Several delegates expressed the opinion
that the success of the apportionment
plan is hindered because it does not reach
the men. It was pointed out that the
nnances of the church cannot prosper
without their aid.
Believing that the presence of Bishops
of the large Eastern dioceses would be
Influential in arousing interest to the mis
sionary efforts of the Eighth Department,
a resolution was presented by Bishop
Spalding, of Utah, urging upon the board
of missions the desirability of having
Bishops and clergymen visit the various
sections of the department and assist in
the missionary work.
At the conclusion of the session Bishop
Nicholls conducted the special prayer ser
vice for the Buccess of the growth of the
missionary spirit throughout the depart
ment.
The sessions yesterday morning began
with the celebration of the Holy com
munion at 7:30 o'clock. The business
session was opened at 10 o'clock. Rev.
I,, o. Sanford, of San Francisco, acting
secretary of the council, was unanimous

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla.. May 21.

senting 1,200.000 Baptists, held Its first

delegates and 1000 visitors crowded the
White Temple. Vice-President Harry
Pratt Judson. president of the Chicago
University, presided. Governor Hughes,

The convention effected permanent or
ganization with Mr. Hughes re-elected
president, Harry Pratt Judson first vice
president and Dr. W. C. Bitting, of St.

PITTSBURG, May a. The first tilt
In the disouBsion of church union

FIGURES SHOWING CONDITION OF PORTLAND NATIONAL BANKS AT CLOSE OF
BUSINESS, MAY 14.
Statements have been compiled by the Portland National banks that show the local Institutions to be in splendid
condition. Reserves are large, in some cases as high as 51 per cent of the total deposits. As the law requires a re
serve of only 25 per cent, this is a splendid showing.
At the last call of the Controller for a statement of the condition of the National banks of the country, de
posits in the three local National banks aggregated $22,042,505.70. The total on May 14 was $21,388,421.28. The
falling: off is accounted for by the fact that depositors have been drawing against uieir balances to some extent dur
ing the past few months, while the new policy of the First National in refusing to pay interest on any deposits
whatever has lost Jl.642.087.16. Little new business Is coming In at present, but confidence is expressed in the big
reserves held by the Portland banks and the most satisfactory condition shewn by the latest statement.
The condition of the three National bank& of Portland, according to the sworn statement of the heads of the In
stitutions, follows:

Methodist Protestant Church originated
the proposition for the union of the body
with the M. K Church, Rev. Dr. Lewis,
president of the Methodist Protestant
General Conference, replied:
I want to know who means to insinu
ate that I have been a party to a dis
honorable action."
Defending his position. Dr. Lewis said:
"Painful must be the duty that makes
you come to this conference and make It
appear that some man is a sneaK. i ten
you you cannot put me inthat attitude.
I am not sorry for what I have done.
I am here to take the full responsibility
for my actions.
'GoBsip has been going round the con
ference room end whisperings have fre
quently reached my ears that when the
church union question came up there
would be something doing. I suppose
that unless there Is more dynamite behind
this grand sensation it Is now exploded."

Executive Board Blames the
Railway Company.
MAY FORFEIT ITS GRANTS
Committee Decides to Determine
Power to Inflict Penalty for Ob
structions Placed In Way
of City Contractor.
Taking the stand that the Portland
Railway, Light & Power Company is
wilfully or by neglect hindering street
improvement work by placing obsta
cles in the way of contractors em
ployed by the city, the street commit
tee of the Executive Board at its meet
ing yeeterday afternoon announced that
the City Attorney would be appealed
to for the purpose of determining
whether or not the city has any
redress against the corporation. If pos
sible, an attempt wilt be made to pen
alize the railway company by taking
away certain portions ot its franchises
where complaint of obstruction is made.
R. L Sabin, of the Board, was author
of the suggestion, and he received
hearty support from Mayor Lane. Al
though the Mayor was the most en
thusiastic supporter of the plan put
forth by Mr. Sabin, the committee, as
a whole, acknowledged its willingness
to allow such proceedings to be insti
gated. The issue arose over the presenta
tion of two petitions by the Pacific
Bridge Company, asking for an exten
sion of time in completing work under
way on Chapman street, from Spring
to Elizabeth, and on Kllllngsworth ave
nue,, from Union to Patton. In the
former case the company asked for 30
days to complete its work, while 60
days was asked on Kllllngsworth ave
nue. The company has in the past pre
sented numerous petitions asking for
extension of time, and when its most
recent request came before the- com
mittee 'yesterday afternoon that body
wanted to know the grounds on which
it was based. Bach petition laid the
fault of the uncompleted work to the
railway company. It is declared that
the railway company failed to lay new
rails on Chapman street as ordered,
and this delayed the work of the Pa
cific Bridge Company, according to the
complaint. Failure to place .'stone
blocks between the rails on Killlnge
worth avenue, the bridge company
maintains was responsible for its in
ability to expedite work at that place.
After the meeting- Mr. Sabin said:
"Time and time again we re
ceive reports from contractors work
ing in various parts of the city on
street work saying that the Portland
Railway, Light & Power Company is
tailing to carry out certain agree
ments stipulated in Its franchises. It
is noticeable that whenever street
work is held up the railway, for some
reason or other, is at fault. It is in
order to find out if the city has any
redress In such cases that It is pro
posed to conrer with the City Attor
ney."
Mayor Lane said during the discus
sion that whenever the railway com
pany is asked about such matters It
persists in giving out excuses that are
not at all satisfactory, and he insisted
the company should be made to pay
the penalty.
BUSTILLO JS RELEASED
Diplomatic Corps Makes Successful
Appeal to Cabrera.
'PUERTO CORTES, May II. Oeneral
Oguli Bustillo, Minister of Honduras,
who took refuge with the Mexican Le
gation at Guatemala May 14, has been
released. It appears that although the
Legation was surrounded by Cabrera's
soldiers, the diplomatic corps went in a
body and escorted Busttllo to the pa
lace, demanding of Cabrera his release,
which was conceded. Bustillo was es
corted to San Jose and there went
aboard the United States cruiser Al

BLOODLESS
PEOPLE
Hundreds Are Suffering from
Anaemia and Don't Know It.
Tht) Disease Approaches Stealthily,
th Decline In Health Is Gradual
and Unless the Tonic Treatment
la Taken. May End Fatally.
Nothing in medical science is mors
direct and more reasonably certain than
the action of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in.
cases of sjitemia, a disease which is liter
ally a condition approaching bloodless-
ness and which ll neglected. Inevitably
results in decline and death. Anaemia
is stealthy in approaching it victim and
often ia well advanced before it is de
tected. On this account it is necessary
to begin treatment as soon as the first
symptoms are noted.
Mrs. Elizabeth Barnett, of 606 Ash
land avenue, Buffalo, N. Y., was cured
by these pills, she says :
"During the spring or three years ego
I began to suffer with anepmia. I was
overworked and did not rest nor derive
nourishment from my food. Every
thing I ate felt heavy in my stomach,
gas formed on it and I had no appetite.
My hands and feet were cold, I was
troubled with dizzy spells end my tips
and cheeks turned white. I had severe
backaches at times and lkwas hard work
for me to bend or stoop over to pick up
anything. My sleep was restless, my
head ached a great deal and I grew quite
weak.
"I was sick about a vear before I be
gan to try Dr. Williams Pink Pills.
They soon helped me and I used them
until cured. My appetite became hearty,
I grew strong and have since been
entirely well. We consider the pills the
best blood-builder and tonic medicine to
be had."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are the great
est builder of rich, new blood and they
have been curing ausemia and other
blood diseases for nearly a generation,
daring whioh time they have come to be
recognized as an invaluable household
remedy.
A valuable booklet, "Diseases of the
Blood," containing fuller information
about ansmia, rheumatism and other
diseases of the blood will be sent free
upon request.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists, or will be sent, postpaid,
on receipt of price, 60 cents per box;
six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams
Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.
