In the Flrnt MethQdiat Church at Salem
next Tuesday nlyht. Bishop Edwin H,
Hujrhes, who will preside over the sec
tion, la finishing his duties at T acorn a.
where the Puget Sound conference in be
ing; held. He will complete his labors
there by tomorrow and will come to Ore-
icon and be present at the reception at
Salem, opening the conference for the
first business session Wednesday morning,
PUshop Hushes, who was elected to the
episcopacy at the last general conference,
has attracted wide attention at all of the
annual conferences over which he haa
presided, and at Tacoma he startled the
large gathering by announcing that the
ministers of Methodism must stop secular
buslneas pursuits, such as selling real es
tate, handling insurance policies and act
ing as agents for various coneernc. Preach
ing the gospel, he said. Is the only busi
ness of the Met hod tat minister, coupled
with caring for the Interests of the church
and Its many needs. It Is likely he will
repeat this statement to the ministers of
the Oregon conference.
A great deal of "business will come up
for action before the conference at Salem,
and It Is said that a resolution will be
presented calling for the redisricting of
the conference, so that there will be fewer
districts. There are now four, those be
ing the Portland. Eugene, Salem and
Klamath. There is said to be considera
ble feeling that the conference could be
more wisely divided, and there are some
who favor three districts, while some are
even more radical, and want but two dis
tricts. This resolution. If presented, will
be certain to create "a big discussion, ae.
If it should carry, it would work great
changes. It would make necessary a re
vision among district superintendents.
The conference session will continue
throughout the week, and it is probable
that It will not adjourn until Monday.
The last order of business Is the reading
of the pastoral appointments by the
bishop, the crowning event of the whole
session.
Among the prominent visitors to the
session this year will be Rev. T. C. Iliff,
who will represent the Board of Home
Mission and Church Extension: Rev. G.
B. Smythe, who will represent the Board
of Foreign Missions, and Rev. . Edgar
Blake, who will represent the Sunday
school movement. It Is probable that Dr.
Edwin , M. Randall, general secretary of
the Bp worth League, will also be pres
ent. If so. It Is thought he will assist In
the organization of a conference board of
the league, which Is being urged by some.
STEVENS LOSES. ONE WIFE
LOUISE POWELL-STEVEXS GETS
. DIVORCE AT OREGON CITY
Judge McBride Allows Decree on
. Her Evidence and That of
One Witness.
OREGON CITY. Or., Sept. 19. (Spe
clal. ) Judge McBride this morning
granted a decree of divorce to Mrs.
Louise Powell-Stevens. who has
achieved so much publicity through th
actions of her former husband, Thomas
M. Stevens, who was married several
weeks ago to Lillian Monk. The fact
that Stevens knew of the contemplated
divorce action and that he authorized
Cake & Cake to represent him at the
hearing and made no defense of the al
legations of Mrs. Stevene. indicates
that the pair have had a thorough un
derstandlng.
Mrs. Stevens came here this morning.
accompanied by her attorney, A. E.
Clark, of Portland, and Mrs. J. S.
Hines. who lives at 687 Glisan street.
With the party came Mr. Pierce, of the
law firm of Cake &. Cake, with witten
authority to act for Stevens.
The proceedings Jn court were brief.
The complaint of Mrs. Stevens was
filed, stating that they were married
in Victoria. B. C, February 2, 1892
and that Stevens deaerted her in Aug
ust, 1907, She is 44 years of age, and
says that Stevens is 47. According to
the complaint no property rights are
involved in the suit and it is believed
that these matters were amicably ad
Justed without the intervention of the
court.
Only two witnesses appeared. Mrs.
Steven herself, and Mrs. Hlnes, who
corroborated the statement of Mrs.
Stevens that the husband and wife had
lived separate and apart since their
separation in August, of last year. Mrs.
Stevens produced her marriage certifl
cate and swore that Stevens Insisted on
living with another woman and left
his wife for the only reason that she
objected to this unsavory proceeding.
He had never given her any other
reason for the desertion, according to
Mrs. Stevens, who stated that Stevens
forced a separation agreement upon her
because he objected to bis behavior.
Armed with the court's decree, the
party wasted no time in Oregon City,
but took the first car back to Portland.
