A cordial message of congratulation and good wishes from President Wilson and the American Government was carried to President Menocal by the special mis sion representing: the United States at the inauguration of the Cuban execu tive today. This was delivered by I'udley Field Malone, Third Assistant Secretary of State, who, with American Minister Beaupre and Brigadier-General Enoch H. CrowvJcr, judge advocate jreneral of the Army, composed the mis. elan. In felicitating the new executive about the orderly and peaceful transfer of power from one party to another, the address of the mission laid stress on the intention of the Lnlted Mates to support "firm and Just government against all elements of disorder" and reiterated President Wilson's declara tion of policy toward all American na tions. The address said: "We bring you a cordial message of good will and encouragement In the duties which now fall to you and we wish to express the hearty sympathy of the American people with every ele ment of good government In Cuba. It is the wish and purpose of the Presi dent of the United States and of the Government which we represent to support Arm and Just government as against all elements of disorder. "A was stated by President Wilson in March last In his declaration of the policy that would be followed by the United States in its relations with sis ter republics in the Western Hemi sphere, one of the chief objects of his Administration will be to cultivate their friendship, to deserve their confi dence and to promote In every proper and honorable way the Interests which are common to respective countries. "The President earnestly desires the most cordial understanding and co operation between the United States and Cuba. He believes that such co operation Is possible only when sup ported at every turn by Just govern ment based on law. on the consent of the governed and on public conscience. He will seek to make these principles and a Arm opposition to all arbitrary or Irregular forces the basis of our mu tual Intercourse. "The American people are the friends of peace and can have no sympathy ti lth those who seek to seize the power of government In order to advance their personal ambitions. There can be no lasting peace In such circumstances. As friends who prefer the Interests of peace ni honor, the protection of pri vate rights and respect for the re ctraint of constitutional provisions, mutual respect must continue to be" tl foundation of tho friendship which ex ists between us. "The United States has nothing to reek In Cuba except the lasting Inter est of the people, the security of popu lar Kovernment and tho development of such personal and commercial relations between Cuba and the United States as will redound to tho profit and advan tage of both and interfere with the rights and liberties of neither. "Our message Is one of' cordial friendship and felicitation. May Cuba, under your guidance, rise yet another stage on her progress towards settled peace, contentment and prosperity." CHIEF FLYNN IN TOWN Secret Service Hero Denies He Is Working on Smuggling Case. Not as a counterfeit detector, not as ai avenger of the sins against the cus toms laws or the Internal revenue de partment, but ;ust as a friend of Steve Connell and tne world at large, William J. Fly nn. chier of the Government se cret service, "blew" into Portland last night and will "blow" out again within s hours. Mr. Flynn Is portly and Imposing. His ample girth Is encased In a loose-fitting gray suit, and his skull, repository of so many awful mysteries, is topped with a fiat-topped hat of brown with a uxzy brim. After registering at the Oregon Hotel and paying a hasty visit to the secret service office In the Federal building, where he dispatched several telegrams and wrote a letter or so with his own iron hand on the office typewriter. Chief Flynn went to the Orpheum with Mr. Connell and Immediately afterward went sound asleep. "It's been six years since I was In Portland before." said Chief Flynn last night, "and I'm mighty glad the rain let up long enough' for me to finish my visit. I was here as a witness In a counterfeiting case then, and had to make two trips. It was raining both times." Mr. Flynn expects to visit the Seattle office after leaving Portland, and will then work back toward Washington, U. C making only a few stops on tne way. "There is absolutely no significance to my visit hcra," he said. "Somebody has to round up the offices once a year or so, and that's what I'm doing. We have no 'big' cases in hand Just now. and I found this a good time to gei away and see how the boys are doing things." Chief Flvnn took occasion vigorously to deny rumors that he intendes to look into the opium smuggling situation while he is in the West. "So far as I am concerned, he said, the cases have been handled in satis factory shape, and I won't ads! anything to the Investigations being made by the local service men."

Here is a statement from a well known Seattle citizen who says his wife has be&n greatly benefited by the use of Plant Juice, the new tonic that is causing so much comment in the West. Mr. F. L. Kehoe, who lives at 1109 Howell street in Seattle, said: "My wife has been using Plant Juice for an obstinate case of indigestion that has been troubling her for some time. We did not seem to be able to find any thing that would correct It. We read of Plant Juice and the offer seemed so fair that it looked as though you must have confidence in the treatment. I see now where you were right. Plant Juice has helped my wife from the start and she is feeling much better in every way. It seems to have been Just the thing we were looking for."

OREGON DIOCESE MEETS ALL- STAND WHTLE BISHOP READS ROLL- OF DEAD. Keynole of Address Which Follows Is Diocesan Unity With Church Co-opera t io n . The Twenty-fifth Annual Convention of the Diocese of Oregon opened with a service at the Pro-Cathedral of St. Stephen last night. All stood while the bishop read the roll of members who had died during the past year. The keynote of the address which followed was diocesan unity and co operation. This was best to be secured by a large, general survey of the dio cese as a whole, said the speaker. Spe cial attention was called to the "Re inforcement Fund." organised by the bishop and provided by about 100 lay men, to help weak congregations to help themselves. The new method of conducting tho election was emphasised. It Is prac tically an adaptation of the Australian system. The chief Interest of the elec tions this year centers In the choice of delegates to represent the diocese at the general convention, wnicn meets In New York in October. The desire is that the voice of this diocese be ever heard for the Catholic faith and Cath olic life in the Holy Catholic Church. The Board of Church Kxtension em phasises the unity of the diocese as a whole. Each congregation, large or i small. Is part' of the diocesan family, ivhinh consists of 14 parishes, 27 mis sions and five stations, served by SO priests. The bishop Is a corporation sole and is rector of all the missions and the 15 clergy In charge of them are caneo. vicars. The missionary force now In cludes one archdeacon, three deacons of convocation, dean of the Pro-catne- dral and 13 vicars. The Church en dowment Society, a National organiza tion to secure endowments for church institutions by means of life insurance, has been successfully tried In other dioceses. The plan has been examined and commended by the Chancellor, ii. U Glisan. During the past year the diocesan in stitution!!. St. Helen's Hall and St. Elizabeth's House, under the loving care of the Sisters of St. John Baptist, and the hospital have done good and increasing-work. With September the Bishop Scott Grammar School will be reopened on Its property In Yamhill Pountv. with a corps of five Instruc tors. This . is a worthy memorial of the first biBhop of Oregon. Snecial emphasis was laid upon so clal service and attention directed to the report of the committee, also to the work undertaken and accomplished by the vice commission. It now rests on the several parishes and missions and their members to aid In carrying out present reforms and securing others much needed. George Wharton Pepper, of Phlladel phia, recently said: "When the average man realizes that the church through Its ministry has brought peace to his soul and Joy to his heart; when he has been roused to the privileges of membership in the body of Christ, then his retponse will be not only "here Is my money,' but 'here am I. send me.'
