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.

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.

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

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.
