KEAR THIRD. RESPITE FROM WORK Episcopal Convention Held Only Morning Sessions, EXCURSION lU THE AFTERNOON Bishops Appointed Their Portion of a Proposed Committee to Consider Prohibited Degrees in Mar- ringe Christian Education. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 12. Only morn ing sessions were held today by both houses of the Triennial Convention of the Episcopal Church of America. The af ternoon was given over to an excursion, which embraced nearly all points of in terest on San Francisco Bay. .The house of bishops passed an amend ment to article 1 of the constitution, giv ing an honorary seat on the floor to any bishop retired either for old age or physical disability. The bishops also ap pointed their portion of a proposed joint committee to consider the prohibited de grees In marriage, and also three bishops to act on. the. committee which will nom inate a board of managers for the mis sionary board. The bishops will probably next consider the code of canons, choos ing for discussion at this convention those which are deemed of most importance. Very little was accomplished by the house of deputies beyond a few changes In the rules 'of procedure and the final adop tion of the report of the joint commission on marginal readings. The election of five missionary bishops nominated yester day by the house of bishops was made the special order for Monday at 3 P. M., when the deputies will sit with closed doors. The Brotherhood of St. Andrew. held a .meeting at the Young Men's Christian As sociation rooms, and the Woman's Aux iliary kept open house at its headquar ters. Previous to the calling to order bf the house of deputies, prayers were read by Rev. James G. Glass, of South Caro lina, and the benediction pronounced by Bishop Leonard, of Ohio. In the House of Deputies. The house of deputies was called to or der by President Lindsay. An hour and a half of the morning was taken up with discussion and action on rules of order and various routine matters. The confer ence committee on marginal readings made its report, recommen'ding that all readings in the report of the joint .com mission Jtaken from the new English ver sion, the new American Version and the marginal readings of the King James version be authorized. It was also recom mended that the commission be permitted to substitute for readings in its report not taken from one or another of those sources, other readings taken from those sources, which shall also be hereby auth orized. It Is understood that the bishops acceded to this departure from the orig inal report of the joint commlssAo.njth, great reluctance, xne nouse aiviqea upon the report of the committee of conference with the following result: Clerical vote, ayes 54, noes 4;. lay vote, ayes 47, noes 3; divided 2. The report was declared adopted. On motion of Rev. Dr. Grammer, the recommendation of the joint commission on ' marginal readings that certain new readings n the English version of the apocryphal books of the Old Testament, published in its report, be permitted for use In the public services of the. church in lessons taken from the Apocrypha was adopted by a large majority. A Joint Session. The house of bishops then game into the house for a joint session" to consider the subject of Christian education. The bishop of Kentucky took the chair and called upon the bishop of Lexington to read the report of the 'joint committee on the subject The report dwelt upon the tremendous responsibilities resting upon the Sunday school system of the church and commended the establishment of Sunday school institutes. Christian education was declared to be the only complete and consistent education, In cluding as It does all the highest Ideals In secular and scientific learning. High commendation was given to the schools under the especial auspices of the church, especially those connected with the mis sion fields. The colleges and universities of the church were also commended as most valuable and helpful Instruments in promoting education in the country. The report was accepted as was also a resolution authorizing the committees of the two houses to sit separately or joint ly during the recess of the convention. Adjourned until Monday morning. In the House of Bishops. The house of bishops this morning voted In favor of the appointment of a joint committee to consist of three bishops, three presbyters and three laymen, to consider the subject of prohibited de grees of marriage. On the part of the house of bishops, the bishops of South Dakota, Delaware and Iowa were appoint ed as members of this committee. The bishops of Montana. Central Penn sylvania, Lexington, Washington and the coadjutor bishop of Virginia were ap pointed to act with a similar number of presbyters and laymen on a committee to nominate a board of managers for the board of missions. It was agreed to amend the former rule, now a part of the constitution, which provides that a bishop retired by reason of advanced age or bodily Infirm ity, arising therefrom, shall be entitled to an honorary seat in the house of bishops by striking out the words "aris ing therefrom." so that bishops incapaci tated by other causes than age might not be barred. The bishops, on adjournment, proceeded to the house of deputies to sit with that body In hearing the report of the joint committee on Christian education. The next session of the house of bishops will be held on Monday. HAS HIS WIFE ARRESTED. John Moore Says She Threatened to "Kill Him. John Moore, a Front-street saloon keeper, yesterday swore out a warrant In Justice Kraemer's Court charging Mrs. E. M Moore, his putative wife, with threatening to kill him. From the stories told by both parties. It1 appears that Moore and the woman separated 10 or 12 years ago in the East, and that Moore came to Portland, while she remained behind. Last week she arrived in Port land, not knowing, she says, that her husband was here. ' , A succession of coincidences seemed to be in store for the couple, fpr Mrs. Moore hung out her sisn as a fortune teller in a room above Moore's saloon. By acci dent, she says, she learned that the man who ran the saloon downstairs was her husband. After discovering it, however, she descended upon him with a demand that he aid her in supporting their son. There was a bitter row, in which, so Moore alleges, the woman threatened to murder him. He became frightened and had her arrested. Deputy Sheriff Wagner served the warrant,' and says that Mr3. Moore reiterated to him her determina tion to end her husband's earthly career.. Mrs. Moore's bail was fixed at $100, which she was unable to furnish. She accord ingly spent the night in jail. Moore denies the woman's story of co incidences, and says she followed him to Portland and took up a room over his place of business for the purpose of har rasslng him. He says he is divorced from her. Mrs. Moore, it is said, has been in Portland less than a week. AS TO RECEIVERSHIP. Knotty Point Hiow Before the State Circuit Court. The question of the jurisdiction of the State Circuit Court to appoint a receiver for an Insolvent corporation, or one about to become so, was argued yesterday be fore Judges Cleland, Sears, Frazer and George in the suit of Mattic A. North against the Union Savings & Loan Asso ciation. Mrs. North, owns 51000 stock in the concern -which she is vainly endeavor ing to realize upon, and C. I. Scofiln and numerous others have recently sued the corporation. For years the Judges throughout the J -- ":. '. , , . &-,,. '- yt " NORWEGIAN STEAMSHIP THYRA. The Norwegian steamship Thyra, which is now loading a cargo of flour and lumber at Portland for the Orient, has made more trips to this port than any other tramp steamer that ever visited here. The cargo she Is now load ing here will be the sixth that she has taken from Portland. She has loaded here- twice with lumber, twice with Government supplies, and her present cargo will be the second of miscellaneous freight. She is, an enormous car rier, and has a record of oyer 50,000 barrels qf flour from Portland. H v -. ,., -,&.,!'-. 9 state have appointed receivers for insol vent corporations on petitions- by stock holders or others interested in winding up the affaire of. the concern, but It is now 'said that the statute is Tame upon the subject and does not provide anything of the kind, and that a receiver may only be appointed as an auxiliary proceed ing .when there is an action against the corporation, on sufficient cause being shown. Taking this view of the law, tne appointment of receivers in the past has been entirely Irregular and contrary to the statute, and a receiver for the Port land Savings Bank, or the Northwest Loan & Trust Company should not have been appointed at all, nor for many other concerns which have been wound up in the courts in this manner. The statute upon the subject provides: "A receiver is a person appointed by a court or judicial officer to take charge of property during the pendency of a civil action, suit or proceeding, or upon judgment, decree Or order therein, and to manage and dispose of it as the court or officer may direct. "A receiver may be appointed . . . provisionally, before judgment or decree, on the application - of either party, when the right to the property, which is the subject of the action, suit or proceeding, and which is In the possession of an ad verse party, is probable, and the property or its rents and profits are in danger ot being lost or materially injured or Im paired. "In cases provided In this code, or by other statutes, a receiver may be ap pointed when 'a corporation has been dis. solved, or is insolvent, or in Imminent danger of insolvency, or has forfeited its corporate rights." This is the clause which is uncertain. It states that "ln'case9 provided In this code, or by other statutes, a receiver may be appointed when a corporation," etc., but there are no cases provided for by the code or other statutes, therefore the whole section is meaningless. This was argued yesterday by John H. Hall, attorney for the defense, who dlso stated that C. W. Miller had been ap pointed as trustee to wind up the affairs of the Union Savings & Loan Company. William Reld and Raleigh Stott argued Jin favor of the petitioner, and they objected to the trustee. Judge Stott, in the course of his speech, said: "If Counsel's contention Is correct, you cannot appoint a receiver for a cor poration In any case. They have endeav ored to prevent the court from getting control of the property by appointing a trustee. I say there is contempt of court In that proceeding. If a receiver canno't be appointed in this case, you cannot charge fraud sufficient to appoint a re ceiver in any case." Further authorities are to be submitted to the court before a decision is ren dered. HEAD CONSUL COMING. Local Modern Woodmen of America fc Preparing for a Gala Time. Head Consul W. A. Northcott,' of the ModernWoodmen of America, who Is also Lieutenant-Governor of the State -of Illi nois, an eloquent orator and one of the most advanced fraternallsts of the day,, will deliver a public address In this city at an early date In the Interests of the order. Major C. W. Hawes, of Rock Island, 111., accompanies him. Local Woodmen camps, wishing to make the visit an event long to be remembered, have appointed committees with full pow er to make all arrangements. The joint committee has had two meetings, and plans for the entertainment of their dis tinguished visitors arc about complete. For Lone Fir Monument Fund. The ladles of Sumner Woman's Relief Corps are making arrangements for hold ing a bazaar next month to aid the Lone Fir monument fund. They hope to raise a substantial sum. " The monument will be erected in Lone. Fir cemetery in mem ory of the deadsoldiers of the Mexican, Civil, Spanish and Indian- wars. OPPOSED TO PATHS Fifteenth - Street Property- Owners Protest, OBJECT TO NEW BICYCLE ROUTE Street Committee" Is Urged io Post pone Construction Indefinitely Wheelmen Committee Presented i Their Side of the Case. Property-owners on North. Fifteenth street do not want a bicycle path built on that thoroughfare, according to a remon strance presented to the , street commlt- ----------0----0------ &' $&gV " JwwV --; "7MI&, .-.. zJPsK -" I1 - - ,; i'-ii-M ''",, - &-V'i' ,-- p r iit,iH9 , v r tee yesterday. Judge J. C. Moreland, who had charge of the paper, addreseed the committee at some length-on the ir reparable damage such a path would ln ,fllpt on his clients. "It is the unanimous wish of the property-owners on Fifteenth street, from Burnside to.Northrup, that the building of this path be indefinitely postponed," said Judge Moreland. "Two blocks of the path are already under construction, and 1 would like you gentlemen of the commit tee to go out there and look at the work before you decidfe on this -matter. The proposed path takes one-fifth of the street away from the general public and hands it over to the riders of bicycles. Teams with wood or supplies cannot get within five feet of the curb, as this path vir tually fences them out. The line of the path, according to the City Engineer's map. crosses from the west side of the street after it has run north a few blocks from Burnside, and It makes a circle at the intersection of Flanders, for the rea son that wheelmen cannot turn in a short curve. That portion of the path already constructed shows what an obstruction the line will be, as a space of five and one-lialf feet wide is to be filled In with dirt and stone, between pranking, and the surface drainage will thus be cut off In front of each residence. It would be bet ter to permit the wheelmen to use the sidewalks than to dedicate a strip of the street to their special 'use, because the general public would still have the use of the sidewalks when wheelmen were not passing." Wheelmen Present Their Side. But the wheelmen were on hand. Their attorney, R. G. Morrow made a speech in favor of the path. He said: "You, gentlemen of the City Council, have the right to say what use the city streets shall be put to, and not the property-owners. You have granted the right to telegraph companies to set up poles along the streets of the city in spite of the protests of the residents, who objected to the poles on account of their unsightll nesa and of their obstructing, the view. The wheelmen of Portland have been given the privilege of using the sidewalks during a certain portion of the year, and you all know the danger resulting from this practice. We desire to do away wtih sidewalk rlalng, and to this end have be gun the building of certain paths within the city, at our own expense. North Fif teenth street will not be Injured in the least by the construction of this path, as the City Engineer has provided for am ple drainage by the extension of gutter pipes along the line of tho path ana through them where necessary. The resi dents opposite these paths will still have the right to pile their wood for a cer tain period in front of their premises, afi they have now, and when certain portions of the paths are so obstructed, wheelmen must dismount and walk around them. "Seattle, Tacoma, Minneapolis and other cities have had bicycle paths in their streets for years, and no complaint is heard about them., In fact, the paths conduce to the safety of the general pub lic, as they remove the excuse for riding the sidewalks." A representative of the Bicycle Associa tion was on hand to substantiate Mr. Mor row's remarks, and the committee after hearing again from Judge Moreland failed to take action In the matter, which Is now pending in the courts, the work of building the path being suspended in the meantime. Repairing: of Fourth Street. If Fourth street is not repaired until the property-owners Interested are all agreed on the kind of pavement to be used, there will be twice as many holes in the old wood blocking as there are now. Howard Whiting, representing the company Interested In treating wood with carbollneum, presented a petition to the committee representing nearly 50 per cent of the property-owners, he said, and his company was now prepared to guarantee a treated wood-block pavement for 10 years. He was old to obtain a clear ma jority of the property-owners if he could, and to call again. The sentiment of the committee appears to favor a uniform system of pavement between Jefferson and Burnsido streets, while some property-owners in the retail section prefer asphalt. The untreated blocks were what the owners mostly favored at the begin ning of the agitation a few weeks ago. The adherents of this pavement argued that wood is an Oregon product and can be replaced cheaply when It wears out. The city, however, has 600 feet to put down and the street committee Is opposed to plain -wood blocks, since the showers have swollen certain portions of Second street and set the blocks at First and Washington afloat. The majority of the property-owners, however, will prevail, and there is a free field for the friends of plain blocks, treated blocks and as phalt to rustle In, before the question comes properly before the City Council. Want Car Service Extended. Residents near the Doembecher fur niture factory want an extension of car service along East Twenty-eighth street, but the" City & Suburban Railway, which was granted the franchise, does not like the word "forfeiture" which occurs so often in the ordinance, and so declines to build the track. Judge Boise asked the committee to try to" modify the ordi nance, In order that his neighbors could board the cars without walking so far. The words "forfeiture without action on the part of the city," should the street O . ,f A ji ?. -A o w , -J i '''"' "r ,- '- ;v.t . v w.S-w w vv v m 51 'jSSkS --- not be kept In repair, a Councilman said, occurred In the franchise extending the line to the car shops, and he could see no reason why the sentence should be modi fied In this one. Another member said the words "without action on the part of the city" might be stricken out. If that would hurry the extension of the car serv ice Into a locality badly in need of it. Car Line for Xorthrnp Street. Northrup street. Instead of Marshall, has been selected for a car-line route by the West. Side & Suburban Railway, and the next petition for a franchise will have this change in it, according to a repre sentative of the company, who said he would prove the ability of his company to build the line. The matter was postponed until the next meeting, which occurs three weeks hence. This question, therefore, will take a short rest before coming up again. Illuminated Signs. Several petitions for the privilege of setting up illuminated street signs were received. The committee opposes the set ting up of such signs in the down-town streets, where there are lights enough al ready, but does not object to them in dimly lighted districts. The petitions were all tabled for the present. Gates for Railroad Crossings. Merrill's .ordinance for automatic gates on railroad crossings within the city is to be modified to cover the Intersections ot Fourth, at Washington and Morrison streets. Mr. Koehler, of the Southern Pa cific, sent word that he desired to be heard on the matter before the ordinance became a law, and thought that he would be in the city within a week. Mr. Merrill strongly favors erecting the gates, as freight trains coming down Fourth street In damp weather cannot be stopped by the brakemen, and a serious accident i likely to occur In consequence. Condition of Mississippi Avenue. The condition of Mississippi avenue, from Morris street to Cook avenue, Mr. Chase said, would be very bad this Win ter unless the street Is newly planked. This would cost ?42o, but there Is no money In the repair fund. The matter was therefore laid on the table, Mr. Chase having' done all In his power for the resi dents Interested. HUNT CLUB'S FIRST RIDE. Gay Turnout to the Opening Paper Chase of the Season. There was a gay turnout to the paper chase of the Portland Hunt Club yes terday. The fine day and the fact that it was the first gathering of the season brought out tho rider? and a large num ber of spectators on horseback and In traps. The start was made at East Twelfth and Holladay avenue, and the finish at the Irvlngton racetrack. The course went cross country for eight or nine miles. The hares were Dr. R. J. Chlpman and Miss Edna Wasserman, who started to lay the pajper course at 3:07, being fol lowed by 'th.e hounds 10 minutes later. The course that was laid came close to gether at one point, so that the hounds who were in pursuit, by jumping over a fence, came up with the hares. The lat ter were given five minutes' new start. The hares finished on tba Irvington race track at 4:01, the hounds coming In at 4:01. The pursuing party came In in the following order: Rae W. Whldden, E. T. Chase, Alexander Kerr, R. F. S. Balfour, of Tacoma; Isador Lang, John Latta, Miss Howard, V. S.. Howard, J. W. Cruthers, Miss Burns, W. J. Burns, R. H. Jenkins, James Nlcol, Mrs. W. H. Hancock, Miss Frances Lewis and E. M. Lararus. The most exciting finish of the day was be tween Mr. Latta on Dennis and Miss Howard on Jim Budd. Latta pulled out ahead with a short lead. Miss Howard made a fine dash, and was just about to pass him when the flnlshlng-polnt was reached. Several hundred people saw the start and the end of the ride. BROKE THE RECORD Rickmer Rickmers Makes a Fast Trans-Pacific Run. TWENTY-FIVE DAYS FROM H1QG0 Steamship Guernsey Loading at Ma nila for Portland Will Load Outward With Lumber ' Marine Notes. Record-breaking passages have been rather Infrequent with the Portland grain fleet coming across the Pacific in ballast In the past few years, but the German ship Rickmer Rickmers arrived In yes terday with a new record from Hiogo to her credit. The German clipper made the run In 25 days, the fastest time ever made between Ihe two ports. She sailed from, the OrlenV nearly a month later than the G. H. Wappaus, although the latter had a slightly longer distance to sail from Klao Chou, but has not yet put In an ap pearance. The Rickmers have a number of very fast ships, but the Rickmer Is the first of the family to crack a record on the Pacific. Had the vessel arrived a day earlier, there would have been three K-ck-mers liners In the river together. Tae Renee Rickmers Is still here, but tho Mabel Rickmers sailed out of the river a day before the Rickmer arrived. Trans-Pacific records for sailing ves sels have heretofore been held by British ships, but if the performance of the scorcher which blew in yesterday Is a sample of what the Germans can do, there may be a division of the maritime glory attached to a record-breaker. The record from Yokohama Is held by the British ship Selkirkshire, which came over in 22 days, and from Shanghai by the Galgate, in 27 days. The German ship Peru made a strong bid for the Yo kohama record by coming over in 25 days, and repeating the trip a year later in 2G days. The two trips combined Show the fastest average ever made for more than one trip over the route. The Rickmer Rickmers Is under charter for wheat-load-Ins, and will come up the river Tuesday. GUERNSEY COMING BACK. Biff Whnlebnck Will Brine a Cargo of Hemp From Manila. The big whaleback steamship Guernsey, which was the first vessel that ever car ried over 3.400,000 feet of lumber out of Portland or any other Pacific Coast port, will leave Manila today or tomorrow for Portland, under charter to load lumber and piles for the Orient. Unlike the most of the lumber-carriers which come across the Pacific In this trade, the Guernsey 13 not coming in ballast. She Is reported to have on board 1500 tons of hemp for Port land and San Francisco. The consignment for the Bay City will be landed In this city and sent to Ita-dyBabjrall. "The Guernsey has been in the service ot the Pacific Export Lumber Company for nearly two years, and on her last trip across the Pacific made herself famous in marine annals by having a broken shaft repaired and a new propeller shipped in midocean. TAX OX ALIEN SEAMEN. StoTrarvays and Deserters Must Pay the Immigration Fee. The Attorney-General of the United States has rendered a decision relative to the liability to per capita tax as alien im migrants of alien seamen who leave the vessel on which they arrive at ports In tho United States. The gist of the decision la that If said seamen come to a port of the United States as bona-flde seamen, and through any cause leave the vessel, either by dis charge or desertion, they are not Immi grants within the meaning of the immi gration laws, and are therefore not sub ject to per capita tax required on alien immigrants,, but if they come to ports of the United States as persons working their passage, and for such purposes are signed on the ship's articles, at wages far below the prevailing rate. It Is evident they are not bona-flde seamen, but are really im migrants attempting to evade the Immi gration laws, and, If aliens are subject to the per capita tax of 51 each. WITHOUT A SUBSIDY. New Trans-Atlantic Service With Modern-Built Steamers. NEW YORK. Oct. 12. According to the Herald. William W. Brauer, president of the William M. Brauer Steamship Com pmy, announces that his company will Inaugurate a freight service from this port to Hamburg in January next. He says that within four months the Brauer Steamship Company will give out con tracts for the building of six first-class passenger and freight steamers, to be ready for the season of 1003. These new boats will be from 10,000 to 12,000 tons In size, with accommodation for 150 first class passengers and 1000 steerage pas sengers. COQUILLE SHIPBUILDING. Onward Is Nearly Completed, and Work Begun on Another Vessel. COQUILLE. Or., Oct. 12. The new sefhooner Onward, recently launched at Parkersburg, Is being rapidly fitted up, and will soon be ready for her initial voy age. She is to be placed on the route from the Coquille River to San Fran cisco, to carry lumber. A large crew of men are now employed near town getting out the knees and timbers necessary to build a new bark at Marshfield. The timbers will be prepared In the hills and hauled to the river, then floated up to Lyons' mill and drawn up Into the mill and leaded on the cars for transportation to Marshfield. Some of the timbers will be considerably over 100 feet long, and about 16x21 Inches thick. Wireless Telegraphy at Sea. NEW YORK, Oct. 12. The Cunard liner Lucanla which arrived today from Liver pool, reports that October S, at 11:05 o'clock in the evening, the Marconi, Instruments got in communication with the company's steamer Campania, bound from New York for Liverpool, and maintained the con nection for six hours and 10 minutes, ex changing many messages about the weather and other necessary shipping intelligences, and also a number of pri vate messages. The vessels passed In lat itude 48:50, longitude 30:40. Struck a Log. ASTORIA. Oct. 12. The French bark St. Donatien Is anchored off Tongue Point this evening and her master Is here with a report that she received Injuries while coming down that will necessitate re pairs before she can go to sea. When near Mount Coffin, in tow of the R. R. Thompson, it Is claimed that she struck a floating log, springing several of her forward plates and causing her to leak but herpump3 are able to keep, her clearl A survey will be necessary to determine the extent of the damage.
