The con vention of the Lutheran synod lor the district of Washington and Oregon, which i ocooiuu u.l x-tuiisuiar station for the past two weeks, came to a close Tuesday.- The main topic discussed the last two days was the report of the committee on missions. It was found that there were not enough ministers to supply the places, there being 150 stations that are calling for ministers, Astoria being one of them. Much is hoped from the new school at Olympia to supply the ministers for these stations. The pres ence of Dr. -Carl Ackermann, of the Pacific Seminary, added much Interest to this session of the synod. It was decided to station Rev. C. Schink at Sherwood and New-berg, and Rev. A. Feibelkorn goes to Shubel, Or., where he has been called to the pastorate. Dr. Ackermann and Professor II. Holberger, of the Pa cific Seminary, were relieved from all outside duties. The next meeting of the convention will be held In 1909, at some point near Seattle. ' Opening New Streets. East Thirteenth street, at Sellwood, is to be opened from Leo avenue to the Portland Crematorium, and thence to a connection with By bee street. The street railway is on East Thirteenth street and takes up the right-of-way, but the street Is needed for the general public at Sellwood. In connec tion with this movement, agitation has been started to open up to a connection with. East Thirteenth the Willamette boulevard which swings around the north and west sides of City View Park to the Sellwood Ferry at the foot of Spokane avenue. In order to make the connection with Hast Thirteenth there, land for a distance of about two blocks must be condemned and again there Is another stretch of land belonging to the streetcar company to get through. There is no particular difficulty In the way that can not be overcome to open up this boule vard around City View Park to the Sellwood Ferry. Arrested as Vagrants. H. G. Hart man, Jack O'Brian and John Clark were arrested last night by Deputy Sheriffs Li 11 is, Leonard and Bulger, and lodged in the County Jail on a charge of vagrancy. Hartman was recently released from the County Jail after having served a term for larceny, whilo O'Brien and Clark came to Portland from Kalama Tuesday. At the time of their arrest last night the three men had been negotiating with the proprietor of a junkshop at Front end Columbia streets for the sale of copper wire and brass bearings of freight cars, known as railroad boxes. Engaged in conversation by the Deputy Sheriff they said they would get the copper wire at Oregon City tonight, and asked him how much he would buy. It is believed that they planned to steal the wire. Trustees op Reed Estate. Judge Charles E. Wolverton was appointed yes terday afternoon as one of the trustees of the Reed Institute, to take the place of the late Judge C. B. Bellinger. W. P. Olds was appointed yesterday to take the place of W. E. Robinson as one of the trustees, the latter having failed to accept his appointment. Action in naming the new trustees was taken at a meeting held yesterday afternoon. The remaining members of the board are: C. A. Dolph, Dr. T. L. Eliot and Martin Winch.

Mayor "Vetoes Water Grant. The tangle over the franchase of the Mll waukle Water Company has been com plicated by Mayor Shindler's veto of the franchise that was passed by the Council last month. The new franchise gives the town of Milwaukle no compensation and the Mayor contends that the city Is en titled to some return for this 21-year grant. The ordinance granting the fran chise was passed by the vote of three Councilmen against one negative vote, that of Councilman Philip Streib. Whether an attempt will be made to pass the or dinance over the Mayor's veto remains to be seen. The next meeting will be held the second Tuesday in July. Magazine Sends Samples. Secretary Glltner of the Portland Chamber of Com merce has supplied 4000 names to the publishers of the Pacific Monthly, to whom will be sent copies of the June number, which was a special Rose Festival issue devoted specially to Port land and Oregon. The names furnished are those of people Interested in this sec tion of the country and it Is believed that the sample numbers of the magazine will do much good in lnduclne these people to come to Oregon to settle. Passed Over Mayor's Veto. The City Council, in session yesterday morning, passed over Mayor Lane's veto of the ordinance, classifying breweries as manu facturing plants. This obviates any fur ther trouble for the Weinhard brewery, which, If classed as wholesale establish ment would have brought it under the ban of the state law, which prohibits the selling of liquor within 400 feet of a public school. Isaksos Petition Denied. The petition of O. F. Isakson, formerly a patrolman on the local police force, for a review of his case by the Council, was denied yes terday morning.

An explosion, endangering the lives of nearly a hundred employes, occurred at 7:45 o'clock yesterday morning In the air-line department of the Portland Gas Company at Front and Glisan streets. Machinery was hurled in every direction and many of the 98 employes of the shops were knocked down by the con cussion following the explosion. The only person severely injured was C. E. Gilbert, an oiler, who was working over one of the engines demolished by the explosion. The company's loss will approximate $1000. Just how the explosion occurred General Manager Papst was unable to say. It is his belief, however, that It was probably due to gas leaking into the air pipes. As a flame would be neces sary to cause the explosion, It is prob able that a valve leaked directly over a furnace. The air-line department, as it is termed, is used to blow air through the generators and cause a blast. In the structure were two cast-iron blowing engines and overhead a horizontal sheet metal tube about two feet in diameter. An alarm was sent fo the Fire Depart ment, but Us assistance was unnec essary. 'WHERE JO DINE.
