Rev. Charles Scaddlng. bishop of Port
land, was a guest of honor at a banquet
riven this evening by the Brotherhood
of St- Andrew for the dignitaries of the
Kplscopal Church who are now holding
their sessions in this city.
The house of bishops decided this aft
ernoon that Jews who have been converted
to the Episcopal faith may continue Jew
ish rites and practices provided they do
so for moral or sanitary purposes, but
not as a matter of religion. One speaker
urged against further attempts to convert
American Jews.
A change In the name of the church

the convention. The name Holy Catholic
Church has been suggested and has met
with considerable favor among some of
the delegates.
At its sessions this afternoon, the house
of bishops considered proposals to n
vise the canons of the churrti relating to
marriage . and divorce, and the subject
was made a special order for Thursday.
The present canons forbid remarriage In
the church of persons wno nave Deen
divorced.
The question of Including a preamble
In the constitution or tne cnurcn was
discussed today.
A Joint session of the house of deputies
and the house of bishops was one of the
features of today's session of the con
vention. When the convention adjourns. Bishop
Wordsworth will leave on a long trip
through the South and West, his Itinerary
Including the Pacific Coast cities.
FRANCE HAS BIG STRIKE
Demands of Railroad Employes Tie
Vp All Transportation.
PARIS. Oct 11. The long standing
uneasiness among railroad employes
developed last night Into a decision to
strike on the part of those employed
by the Northern roads.
The decision is the result of the re
fusal of the roads to grant the de
mands of the men, chief of which is
that the minimum dally wage should
be 6 franca.
No freight trains left Paris last
night, and there appears every likeli
hood that the whole system will be
stopped in the morning. The tracks
have been cut at St. Qucntln.
The postofflce has already prepared
to substitute a special automobile serv
ice for mall trains north.
The military squadrons of Fontaine
bleu and other garrisons near Paris
arrived and the prefecture of Police
declares that the operation of all lines,
even through Burban, were assured this
morning, the engineers being replaced
by soldiers.
The early morning trains scheduled
to leave between 4 and a o'clock did
not leave Paris.
APPLE BOXESARE SCARCE
Demand for Walla Walla Valley Is
Insufficient for Big Crop.
WALLA WALLA. Wash.. Oct. 10.
(Special.) With every planing mill
working overtime, the demand for ap
ple boxes in the Walla Walla Valle7
far exceeds the supply; and several or-
chardists have laid off their picking
and packing crews for the week until
the mills can catch up.
It la estimated that 500.000 boxes will
be required to ship the fruit crop here
this year, and the mills cannot aeep
abreast of the demand.
That tills will result In serious finan
cial loss is not now believed, but it Is
not thought the trouble can soon bs
remedied. Everywhere conditions are
nearly the same. It seems, and appeals
to outside mills for help have proved In
vain.
TOWN'S RESERVOIR DRY
Railroad Company Hurriedly In
stalling Pumping System.
PENPIKTON. Or., Oct. 10. (Special.)
4-Kor the first time since the Installa
tion of the gravity water system at
Meacham. the large reservoir has gone
dry and residents are compelled to
carry their water from Meacham Creek.
while the O. R. & K- Company Is hur
riedly Installing a pumping system.
Meacham is almost on tne summit oi
the Blue Mountains and heretofore no
troubie In securing water has been ex
perienced. The unusually dry Summer
and FalU however, have resulted in a
drying im of all springs. Beaver
Creek, svhich was dammed by the rail
road company five years ago. forming
a. reservoir nearly a mile square, is
entirely dry. '
A rain of many days duration would
be'- necessary to afford relief.

for Congress In the Second District.
will not spend an idle hour between
now and the election, and will speak at
least once In each of the 17 counties. In
outlining his campaign last night Mr.
Lafferty said:
"I shall advocate progressive" Re
publicanism. This will necessarily in
elude a hearty approval of the direct
primary and Statement No. 1, because
men chosen by the voters at large, and
not by the special interests, must first
be elected to office before progressive
legislation can be expected. All the
Republican nominees in Oregon were so
selected, and I shall support the ticket.
Trust Privileges Opposed.
'Progressive Republicanism means
that special privileges, now being en
joyed by trusts and monopolies, must
be cut out, and that maximum ratee to
be charged by public service corpora
tlons. ' exercising monopolies, must be
fixed by law. based upon fair physical
valuations. This will equitably adjust
the cost of living, and give equality of
opportunity to all. It is the only thing
that will prevent either public owner
shlpeor Socialism, both of which are to
be avoided if we woul'J retain our pres
ent liberties and opportunities for hap
Dlness.
"For the special benefit of Oregon I
shall urge laws for the following pur
poses: "Returning $5,350,000 due the state
for Irrigation.
"Creating a land court for each West
ern state, to the end that greater no
erallty and fairness shall be shown
homesteaders.
"Opening to settlement the 8.000.000
acres of agricultural land in Oregon
now withdrawn from homestead entry
"Guaranteeing the sale of the Oregon
& California Railroad lands to actual
settlers, according to the terms of the
grant.
"Opening the Columbia River as far
north as Nelson, B. C. and building tne
north Jetty at Astoria.
"Preserving forever the 15,000.000 acres
of forest reserves In Oregon, which, by
the way. constitute one-fourth of the
state's area, but providing that the
profits arising from the sale of ripe
timber and grating privileges shall go
Into the state treasury, and providing
for local management of these lands by
a state board of forestry under a trust
arrangement with the Nation, not glv
ing the state any power to ever sell an
acre of the lands.

Game In Commerce Buffet and
Get Sereral Hundred Dollars
in Watches and Sidney.
Three unmasked men entered the
Commerce Buffet, conducted by G. H.
Judge, at 24S Stark street, and at the
muzzles of drawn revolvers compelled
the proprietor, Robert Macintosh, a
contractor, and L. H. Peal, an employe
of the Southern Pacific Company, to
hold up their hands while two of fie
thieves pilfered their pockets and
robbed the cash register.
The trio, after securing several hun
dred dollars In valuables, backed out
the front door, keeping their victims
under cover until they dashed through
the exit and made their escape. Though
the crime took place a little more than
200 feet away from the seat of police
activities no clews had been obtained
nor had any arrests been made up to
a late hour last night. The police have,
however, minute descriptions of the
holdups and promise to take the cul
prits Into custody soon. .
The scene of the crime Is one of the
most exclusive readezvous In the down
town district for gentlemen with a
fastidious taste for beverages. Just at
the moment the thieves entered the
place last night it was practically de
serted, save for the presence of Judge
and Macintosh and Peal, who had saun
tered in but a few moments before.
Card Game Interrupted.
The three agreed to play a game of
cards and had hardly seated themselves
at a table In the rear when the thugs
were observed marching in the front
door, where one . stood guard. The
three raised their revolvers at the same
time, each levelling his weapon at a
particular occupant of the chairs about
the card table.

mained on guard at the front door, the
two others walked toward the rear, ut
tering threats against the lives of their
victims should they become aggressive
or nake an outcry. One entered the
booth and commanded the three players
to elevate their hands. They complied
and while one snatcher a $250 gold
watch and chain from Macintosh and
pilfered his pockets of valuable, in
cluding $20 in gold, the other com
pelled Judge to hoist his hands and
took his watch, -valued at $100, and a
small quantity of silver from his
pockets.
Peal in the interim was cowered in
a corner of a booth by a threat to
"shoot his can full of holes." When
Judge and Macintosh had been robbed
of the valuables, the thugs turned to
Peal. While one pressed a revolver to
his head the other snatched a valuable
Masonic charm from his watch chain
and in turn took his watch and chain,
valued at 250, and a wallet containing
valuable papers and a bank book from
bis coat pockets.
Ignorance Plea Saves Safe.
Completing their thievery in the card
booth, the pair turned to Judge and,
pressing their revolvers against his
body, ordered him to open the safe that
stood under the back bar. Judge
pleaded Ignorance of the combination.
He diverted the attention of the thieves
by declaring that he was but a clerk
In the place and possessed no know
ledge of the manner In which the safe
could be opened. Accepting his dec
larations as being true, one of the rob
bers darted behind the bar and deftly
manipulating a key on the cash regis
ter, opened it. scooping out $15 In silver.
Deliberately secreting their plunder
In their pockets, the two thieves
backed toward the front door while,
their comrade covered the three vic
tims with his weapon. Hurling a dire
threat against the lives of the three
men whom they had stripped of their
valuables, the trio dashed through the
swinging doors and vanished.
An interval of 10 minutes elapsed be
fore Macintosh and Peal mustered
enough courage to venture to the front
door and make their way to police
headquarters around the corner, where
thev leave the alarm. i
A dozen detectives were immediately
assigned to the case by Captain of De

HELPFUL HINTS
ON HAIR HEALTH
Scalp and Hair Trouble
Generally Caused by
Carelessness
Dandruff Is a contagious disease
caused by a microbe which also pro
duces baldness. Never use a comb or
brush belonging to someone else. No
matter how cleanly the owner may be,
these articles may be infected with
microbes, which will infect your scalp.
It is far easier to catch hair microbes
than It is to get rid of them, and a
single stroke of an infected comb or
brush may well lead to baldness. Never
try on anybody's else's hat. Many a hat
hand Is a resting place for microbes.
If you happen to be troubled with,
dandruff, itching scalp, falling hair
or baldness, we have a remedy which
we believe will completely relieve these
troubles. We are so sure of this that
we offer it to you with the understand
ing that It will cost you nothing for
the trial if it does not produce the re
sults we claim. This remedy is called
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic. We honestly
believe it to be the most scientific
remedy for scalp and hair troubles, and
we know of nothing else that equals it
for effectiveness, because of the re
sults It has produced in thousands of
cases.
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic is devised to
banish dandruff, restore natural color
when Its loss has been brought about
by disease, and make the hair natural
ly silky, soft and glossy. It does this
because It stimulates the hair follicles,
destroys the germ matter, and brings
about a free healthy circulation of blood,
which nourishes the hair roots, causing
them to tighten and grow new hair. We
want everybody who has any trouble
with hair or scalp to know that Rexall
"93" Hair Tonic Is the best hair tonic
and restorative In existence, and no
one should scoff at or doubt this state
ment until they have put our claims to
a fair test, with the understanding that
they pay us nothing for the remedy if
it does not give full and complete sat
isfaction In every particular. Two
sizes, 60 cents and $1.00. Remember you
can obtain Rexall Remedies in Portland
only at The Owl Drug Co., Inc, corner
7ti and JVashlngton streets.
