DALLAS. Tex.. May 25. Fourteen per
sons dead, others missing and believed to
have suffered a like fate, property valued
at millions of dollars swept away, thou
sands homeless and being cared for by
charitable associations, train and wire
service demoralized, such are the condi
tions prevailing in the northern and cen

Ten Dead at Fort Worth.
At Fort Worth 10 lives were lost and
the property damage is estimated at
JI .000.000. Five thousand persons were
driven from their homes, their personal
effects and household goods being washed
away by the waters.
Tonight two companies of infantry and
one of artillery are patroling the streets
of the city under, direction of the police
and no one is permitted to go on the
streets without a permit from the au
thorities. In the residence sections the
.patrol consists of two volunteer citizens
from each city block. This was made
necessary by the cripping of the water
works and to prevent incendiary fires.
All objectionable characters were given
until sundown to leave the city and many
of these had to walk out.
City in Darkness.
There is not a street light burning in
Dallas tonight. One hundred special po
licemen were drafted and sworn into
service.
A noteworthy feature of thrilling inter
est happened this morning when, pressed
on the north by weight of debris, the
trestling west of the steel bridge of the
Texas & Pacific Railroad over Trinity
River gave way and 10 men were thrown
into the water in full view of 20,000 spec
tators. Seven of these men were rescued
at great hazard. The names of the three
drowned are unknown and their oodles
have not been recovered. The other death
occurred at 6 o'clock this morning, when
an unknown man was drowned.
Reports that many negroes have been
drowned cannot be verified, as the utmost
confusion prevails in that quarter.
Rescues Many People.
Sheriff Ledbetter, of Dallas County, ac
companied by a squadron of deputies,
pressed into service the steamer Nellie
Maurine and rescued over 200 people who
were clinging to the tops of their houses

along the Eagle Ford road.
Only one streetcar line is In operation
to a- part of North Dallas. The water
works are out of commission and the
light plant is swamped.
Mayor Hay has issued a proclamation

As a result of having died Sunday, an
adherent to the faith of Christian
Science, Coroner Finley yesterday re
fused to permit the -body of Mrs. Mar
garet Odell to be removed to her home
in Eugene, Or., until an autopsy had
been performed and the real cause of
death, which could not otherwise be ex

held at 8 o'clock last night by Dr. Alan
Welch Smith, whose services had been
originally called in by Mr. and Mrs. C.
H. Hales, the son-in-law and daughter of
the deceased woman, but whose treat
ment had .been refused by Mrs. Odell.
The result of the autopsy was the finding
of gall stones.

British Empire Day at
the Armory
BY J. M. QUBNTIN.
B granddad, were depleted last night
RITISH households, from baby to
to furnish their quota "of merrymakers
to help celebrate British Empire day at
the Armory. The latter building was
jammed with 2000 people who gazed
their flu at the mass of patriotic flags
everywhere displayed, applauded the
national songs, greeted the friends of
their race whom they meet once a
year, joined in the choruses and had a
general good time.
Of course the Stars-and-Stripes flags
were abundantly In evidence, but the
big building was gay with red flags
emblematic of the British empire and
her colonies. England, Scotland, Ire
land, Wales, Canada and New Zealand
were ' represented by refreshment
booths, and -were prettily decorated.
Over the Welsh booth was displayed a
motto reading: "Oes T byd ir lath
Gymraeg," which, I am told, is a gen
eral intimation that the Welsh lan
guage Is over all the world. The motto
over the Irish booth read: "Coed Mille
Failthe." An Irishman of my ac
quaintance says this means "One hun
dred thousand welcomes." I'll take his
word for It.

his bagpipes gave a squeal the Scotch
the audience began to own the

under the direction of Carl Denton, and
the singers were Mrs. Walter Reed,
Miss Kate Lawier, Miss Sarah Glance,
Frank D. Hennessy, F. T. Crowther and
the Welsh Glee Club. All sang well
and were encored again and again. The
stranger among, the singers is Miss
Glance, a mezzo-contralto from Aus
tralia, who has lived here for about
two years. She has a fine stage pres
ence, is a remarkably good singer, and
Is quite an acquisition to musical Port
land. Dances in costume were given
by Misses Jennie Best, Jessie Pottage
and Agnes Pottage, and Masters Frank
Darcey and James King.
I especially like the new empire song
composed by Sir Edward Elgar, entitled.
Land of Hope and Glory." It has the
right ring and reminds me of a recruit
ing sergeant gathering in recruits for
war.

NEWBERG, Or.. May 25. (Special.)
Ed Blum, who-- committed the double
crime of murder and suicide in Portland
Sunday, was formerly a resident of NewJ

Baker City.
After two children were born, the
couple had domestic trouble and they
finally separated, the mother and children
later going to Baker City, while Blum
drifted to Portland. After the separa

regarding the care of the children and
Mrs. Blum seemed to fear that he would
do her bodily harm.

CHEAT. DEBATE ON
ADDING
BISHOPS
Intense Excitement in Confer
ence When Number
Was Decided.
RACE. QUESTION COMES UP
Negroes Have Sympathy of Church,
but Are Denied Elevation to Epis
copate Demonstration on Re
tirement of Bishop Thoburn.
Br L. Rader. Editor Pacific Christian
VVOCate
BALTIMORE, Md., May 19. (Special
Correspondence.) There is intense ex
citement today in the Central Conference.
The debate over the question of the
number of bishops which shall be elected
at this time was Intensely interesting and
very instructive. The bishops had rec
ommended that six bishops be added to
their number. The committee on epis
copacy, after careful deliberation and
wide discussion, recommended that there
be ten elected at this time. When this
report came . before . the conference
amendments were offered, one to have
eight and another 12; the discussion took
a wide range, some urging that the ex
pense of 20 bishops would be more than
tHb church would Indorse. This, however,
seemed to have but little weight on the
minds of the delegates, and when it was
asserted that 5 cents per member would
amply support all the bishops in the
church, the question of finance did not
seem very serious.
Arguments for More Bishops.
On the one hand it was urged that the
bishops knew better than anyone else
the field and the requirements thereof,
and that their Judgment should be ac
cepted. On the other hand it was con
tended that the bishops meet with only
ine wen-to-oo or our people, and know
nothing of the sentiment of the poor and
obscure, that they really become un
known, to the mass of the church, 'and
get out of touch with them as soon as
they are elected. The very fact of a
man's having the exalted position of a
bishop in the church causes him to have
such deference paid him and such com
pliments showered on any and all of his
performances that he really does not
know the sentiment of the mass of the
membership. In addition to this, there
is a growing sentiment in the church for
more careful and greatly extended su
pervision, one great layman saying that
the church must choose between a more
accurate and complete supervision and
the destruction of the "itinerant general
superintendence' and the substitution
therefor of a diocesan episcopacy. These
arguments seemed to deeply Impress the
members of the general conference.
. Race Prejudice Arises.
In the midst of the discussion a great
orator from California claimed the floor
and pleaded for the election of ten bish
ops on the ground that this number would
be sufficient to guarantee the election of
two negro men to the episcopacy. His
declaration seemed to send a chill over
the whole conference; It is a little singu
lar how the sympathies of the church
seem to go out to the negro, but preju
dices cause them to shrink back at the
thought of exalting the black man to
the general superintendency of the church.
where he will have authority over white
and black men Indiscriminately. The
sentiment on account of color seems to
lie deeper than social prejudice; to one
who studies this subject carefully. It
seems to be an Innate sentiment, magni
fied by social conditions.
The negro delegates here, and some of
their white friends, -are very industriously
endeavoring to secure the election of one
or two negro men to the episcopacy, but
unless this correspondent greatly mis
takes the temper of this conference, no
black man will be elevated to the epis
copacy at this time, if ever.
Demonstration for Thobnrn.
One of the inspiring scenes of the gen
eral conference occurred when the report
of the committee on episcopacy was made
concerning the retirement of Bishop
Thoburn. Dr. J. M. Buckley, as chair
man of the committee, after the report
was read, which gave expression to the
high appreciation of the church of the
great labors, pure character and lofty
purpose of Bishop Thoburn, and his great
efficiency in the missionary work of the
church, called Bishop Thoburn to the
front of the platform and, addressing
him, delivered one of the most eloquent
and appreciative addresses which were
ever heard by a patriot or a churchman.
The entire conference arose and stood In
perfect silence during the entire address
of Dr. Buckley.
TWO NEW BISHOPS NAMED
Continued from First Pare.
Terence, Professor Mitchell appealed to
the judiciary committee of the general
conference, the report of which will Bus
tain him on points of law upon which
(and not upon matters of orthodoxy) the
committee is competent to pass.
The same committee, which has un
der consideration the recommendation
contained in the episcopal address that
the bishops be relieved of the duty of
trying professors in theological schools
against whom charges may be made, will
recommend that the board of bishops be
clothed with power end duties similar to
those of a grand jury and shall investi
gate any such charges as may be made
and decide whether they have a suf
ficient basis to warrant bringing them for
trial before the annual conference of the
accused.
Will "ot Cut Out "Catholic."
The committee on revision has decided
to recommend elimination from the bap
tismal service of the declaration that
all men are conceived and, born In sin.
The same committee will report adversely
to the memorial asking that the word
"Catholic" meaning universal, be omitted
from the Apostles creed when used by
Methodists.
A laymen's general association will be
formed tomorrow night by adoption of a
constitution and John H. Patton, of
Chattanooga. Tenn., will in all probability
be elected its president. Its purpose is
to unite the laymen's associations of
the different conferences and it is
thought that control by the laymen of the
problems in the conference in which busi
ness experience and executive ability are
desirable will be sought.

ACTS LIKE FAB I U S
Senate Wastes Time to Keep
Beveridge Quiet.
DOES NOTHING ALL DAY
Determined Not to Allow Tote on
Government Employes Inability
Bill, Ieaders Spar for Wind.
Howl Against House.
WASHINGTON', May 25- An effort to
annihilate time by dilatory tactics with
out making progress on any legis
lation except that involved in conference
reports was the chief occupation of the
Senate today under the leadership of Al
drieh. The attempt was so successful
that the net result in the way of accom
plishment of the day's session was the
adoption of the conference report on
the sundry civil appropriation bill. '
Throughout the day Beveridge was
busy in an effort to get a vote on the
bill, compensating Government employes
for Injuries received in their line of duty,
but after the debate had progressed far
enough to develop various objections to
the language of the bill Hale arose to
say he had information from the House
that no action could be expected there
today on the conference report on the
public buildings bill and that until that
measure should be disposed of the de
ficiency appropriation bill could not be
perfected, after which he moved an ad
journment. Can Act Without Beveridge.
Beveridge resorted to some tactics to
keep the Senate m session to consider
his bill, but Hale, amid laughter, re
marked that "there were some things the
Senate can do without the Senator from
Indiana," and Insisting upon a vote on
his motion. The Senate at 4:40 o'clock
adjourned.
The journal was read at length in order
to prevent the passage of any measure
that might result In further delaying
proceedings in the House.
During the reading of the Journal Bev
eridge made the usual motion that the
further reading be "dispensed with," but
Kean. who had been placed "on guard"
by the Republican leaders, objected on
the ground that the clerk at that mo
ment was reading a most important
report. ,
n.i ..rmfiTmeri- and the Sena
tors poked a number of Jibes at the
Indiana senator, wuo ..."
the utmost good nature. No Senator
paid the slightest attention to the read
ing, and, noticing this fact, Beveridge
renewed his motion, explaining as he
did so "that the Senator from New
Jersey (Kean) does not seem to be fol
lowing the reading."
"The Senator from Indiana may speak
for himself," responded Kean, waving a
copy of the record in the air.
Still Stave Off Action.
"Objection is made and tho reading will
continue," ruled Vice-President Flair
banks. At 12 o'clock, after one hour had
been consumed in the reading, Beveridge
for a third time made his -request for a
suspension. ' saying that the reading was
being Ignored by Senators.
"The Senator from Indiana - is mis
taken," said Kean, and the clerk pro
ceeded with the reading. The reading
was concluded at 12:40 o'clock and the
journal approved. . -
Morning business then occupied addi
tional time. Several conference reports
were presented and a messenger from
the 'White House arrived with a number

of bills which had been signed by the
President. All of these matters com
manded attention, much to the annoy
ance of Senators who were urging action
on bills which did not meet with the
favor of a majority. "When the con
ferees" report on the sundry civil bill
was brought in, Aldrieh insisted that It
be ead in full and that all amendments
be read.
When the reading reached the appro
priation of 225,000 for a revenue cutter in
Narragansett Bay, which was not agreed
to by the House conferees, Aldrieh de
clared that the Senate was arriving at a
"condition absolutely intolerable."
"We are obliged to stop appropriations
for the Government," he said, and in
sisted that the action of the House
should not be tolerated.
Foraker said the present was a good
time to do more than protest in words
against the action of the House.
"The House," he declared, "does not
seem Inclined ' to adjourn, so that' the
present is an opportune time for the
Senate to show a certain . spirit of in
dependence." Fulton protested against the refusal
of the House to as-ee to a revenue cutter
for the Columbia River. The conference
report was agreed to.
Beveridge then found the opportunity
for which he had been waiting all day
and secured the floor. He at once yielded
to Depew, who called up the House bill
granting employes of, the Government
compensation for injuries sustained In
the course of their employment.
FTLIBrSTERS
TAKE
REST
After Wearing Out Clerks' Voices,
Allow House to Do Business.
"WASHINGTON. May 25. "Working
under heavy pressure with a single eye
to adjournment at the earliest possible
moment, the House today disposed of a
great amount of business. Garly in the
session it became manifest that a better
feeling obtained between the majority
and minority, in consequence of which
several bills were permitted to be passed
by unanimous consent. It developed
when- the House recessed tonight that
the roll had been called 228 times since
Congress convened. Prior to March 30,
when the Democratic filibuster began, it
had been called but 15 times.
"The innumerable calls since then
brought about today a temporary break
down on the part of two reading clerks,
and Representative Chaney, of Indiana,
who has a voice of good carrying quality,
volunteered his services in that work.
Which proved satisfactory.
. The sum total of the day's business
was as follows:
The conference reports on the sun
dry civil and the pension appropriation
bills were agreed to, thus sending those
measures to the President for signa
ture and leaving only the general de
ficiency and military academy appro
priation bills to be considered in ordei
to complete the disposition of the 14 sup
ply measures. The conference report on
the District of Columbia child labor bill
also was agreed to and the following
bills were" passed:
Amending the naylgatisn laws; remov
ing the discriminations against native
officers of the Porto Rican regiment of in
fantry; authorizing the sale of unallotted
land of the Spokane Indian Reservation;
encouraging the development of coal de
posits in Alaska; and prescribing pen
alties "against the sale of clothing and
Government property by soldiers. The
omnibus bill relating to disposition of the
public land was sent, back to conference.
After an active debate of an hour and
a half the project for a reduced hall of
Representatives was defeated by a large
majority. .
Sell Spokane Indian Lands.
WASHINGTON. May 25. A bill was
passed by the -House today authoriz
ing the Secretary of the Interior to sell
and dispose of the surplus unallotted
lands of the Spokane Indian reserva
tion, Washington, and to place the tim

tional forest.

M'COMAS TELLS HOW HE SHOT
MRS. NOTES DEAD.
Knew Not He Had Killed Her Till
He Saw Body Liquid Flung
In Face.
LOS ANGELES, May 26. "W. P. Mc-
Comas, who shot and killed Mrs. Char
lotte L. Noyes in her apartments last
February, took the stand in his own
defense before a curious crowd in the
Superior Court today. Guided by his at
torney's questions, McComas recited the
history of the day that preceded the
shooting, concluding with the declaration
that he fired his revolver blindly after a
quantity of acid had been dashed into
his face, and that his first knowledge of
the tragedy was gained when he saw
Mrs. Noyes lying on the floor.
McComas testified thathe had attended
the races with Mrs. Noyes and had left
her to dine at a friend's house. Mrs.
Noyes, he said, joined him-on a car and
he accompanied her to her flat.
"What happened after you had been in
the house some time and went to the
kitchen door?" asked McComas' counsel.

"A dash of blinding liquid struck me
In the face. Three times It came. I
rushed backward. The pain gtt more
and more intense. I can't describe the
horrible burning and the roaring in my
ears. I jerked my six-shooter out and
began 'shooting. It seemed that nothing
else could be so important as to get that
stuff out of my eyes, and I groped my
way to where ' the olive oil was. The
first I knew I had killed this woman was
when I saw her lying on the floor. I
telephoned for the police to get help.
Then I rushed across the street to te
Hotel Pepper and told somebody to send
for my friend, Mr. Hitt."
"When you fired, did you know whom
you were shooting at?" .
"No, I wouldn't have killed her for
anything In the world."
