II MORE TASKS
Heavy Grist of Work for the
Final Week.
MUCH ALREADY IS DO
Verdict of Kpiscopal Delegates Is
That Triennial Meet One of
Most Successful Held.
Ab the 47th triennial general con
ention of the Protestant Episcopal
church drives forward into its third
and final week it faces a heavy
grist of work. Yet it has behind it
a. record of much accomplished. The
verdict that this is not only one of
tie largest but one of the most
successful triennial sessions ever
held, need not be withheld until the
cnrtain has been rung down. The
delegates have Deen quite unan
Smous in expressing that opinion.
Delegates of the two houses of
die convention seem agreed that
Crey have this time faced the
greatest mass of business ever
(brought before one of the triennial
meetings. As usual with large
legislative bodies it proved a bit
difficult to get the machinery all
Iproperly co-ordinated and function
lug, but since this was accomplished
during the last week the convention
lias been speeding its work.
The convention officially opened
ion Wednesday, September 6. Final
sessions were never listed on the
official programme, but the under
standing has been that adjournment
juiould come on or before next
Friday, September 22.
Important Work Ahead.
An Important work remaining is
that of forming the new executive
tody of the church, the presiding
bishop and council, the name of
which Is being changed to the na
duneif zorwara ana airecis mo&L ui
the- activities of the church in th
interim between triennial sessions.
Eight members of this organization
of 26 men, not including Presiding
Bishop Daniel S. Tuttle, are elected
by provinces of the church, eight
In number. The remaining mem
bers, including president of the
council, are to be chosen in this
convention.
President Thomas F. Gailor has
urged that he be relieved that ha
may return to his diocesan work in
Tennessee. There is little prospect
that his urgings will be heeded.
The convention recognizes his abil
ity and fitness for the post, which
he has held since the council was
created three years ago, anil is
strongly inclined to retain him.
New Binhops to Be Named.
Perhaps second in general interest
will be the election of new bishops.
yet to be held. Resignations and
withdrawals leave several bishopries
to be filled.
A large number of important
legislative and interpretative actions
are in the hands of committees. It
has been voted by each house that
no new business may be introduced
after Tuesday.
Among highly important matters
about which there seems certainty
of action is that of the world con
ference on faith and order. The
Episcopal church has been taking
lead in this movement looking
toward greater unity between Prot
estant denominations and sects.
It will, by action at this convention,
continue this prodigious project.
which already has resulted in the
holding of one world conference and
Is to bring about a second one at
Washington, D. C, in 1925.
It is very generally said by
convention delegates that Right
Rev. Charles H. Brent, bishop of
western New York, will be released
from other duties and made the
propogating head of this body.
.Bishop Brent has been chairman of
the commission during the last
three years and gave the report
during the last week which won
him highest laudation, with no dis
paragement of the other commission
members.
Revision Not Complete.
Another important step that most
delegates think on the way to con
summation is the proposal to admit
women to seats in the house of
deputies. All other alternatives,
-particularly that of creating a third
house of the convention, seem to
.have been shelved in favor of ad
mitting women in the lower house
on an equality with men.
Prayer book revision, one of the
outstanding tasks of the convention.
Is not completed, but much progress
has been recorded. Important
among the actions to which both
houses have now agreed is that of
bringing the marriage ceremony up
to date by making pledges of man
and woman identical, omitting any
pledge to obedience on the part of
the woman'.
The gigantic three-year financial
programme has been considered and
doubtless will be approved about as
recommended. By approval the
convention will sanction the raising
of somewhere around $21,000,000 for
work of the denomination between
now and the end of 1925.
' Much Work Completed.
Bodies affiliated with the general
convention have pretty largely com
pleted the work of their sessions.
Some of the smaller organizations
have actually done so and adjourned.
This is true of the Daughters of the
King, who ended their convention
on Monday.
Convention delegates seem favor
ably impressed with arrangements
for their comfort and entertain
ment. The diocesan committee has
received high praise for its housing
and luncheon arrangements. Liter
ally hundreds of the visitors have
said that Portland's western hospi
tality is the finest they have
encountered.
Auditorium la Appreciated.
Much has been said about the
adaptability of the municipal audi
torium, where for the first time in
its history the general convention
has really all been housed under
one roof. Somewhat skeptical at
first about the feasibility of such
an headquarters arrangement the
delegates .quickly perceived its ad
vantages and have come to appre
ciate them greatly.
Here both houses of the conven
tion and the "third house," as the
woman's auxiliary is sometimes
named, have had ample meeting
room. Adjoining office rooms and
quarters have made ideal places for
the conferences of the innumerable
committees belonging to each
branch. The rear of the balconies
has been utilized to fine advantage
for Important exhibits.. The base
ment, in addition to providing room
for registration and Information
booths, has served admirably as a
CHARACTERS AS THEY WILL
mammoth dining room, where the
hundreds of delegates have enjoyed
their luncheons without leaving the
building. Even the lobbies have
been used to great advanttage for
registration and information desks.
No one detail of arrangements has
been more Geeply appreciated than
the serving of the free noon lun
cheons. The splendid way in which
this has been handled by hosts and
hostesses of the convention has won
warm commendation. Good food
has been served, accommodations
have been ample and service has
always been adequate, according to
testimony of the city's guests.
There remain a few busy workers
and delegates who have not yet
enjoyed a trip over the Columbia
river highway. Should any of these
leave Portland without having had
this trip it will very largely be
their own fault. The motor corps
and automobile committee . have
accomplished a big task in convey
ing over the highway and on drives
about the city those guests who
registered and sought these privi
leges. The expressed consensus of opin
ion indicates that Portland has
successfully upheld its reputation
s an hospitable convention city.
GREATER POWERS ARE UP
STREET VACATION AUTHOR
ITY TOBE DISCUSSED.
Charter Revision to Be Consid
ered at Regular Meeting of
Committee Tomorrow.
Proposed modification of the so
called Ziegler amendment so as to
give the city council and the com
mission of public docks the right to
vacate streets within 2000 feet of
the harbor line will be considered
at the regular weekly meeting of
the charter revision committee to
morrow night in the city council
chambers.
At present the amendment under
consideration requires the consent
of the voters before Vacation of any
streets located within 2000 feet of
the harbor line or within 1000 feet
of any railroad depot or terminal
yard.
Under the proposed amendment
such vacation could be made, but it
would require the unanimous vote
of the city council and the approval
of a majority of the members of the
dock commission.
Members of the dock commission,
the city council, the planning com
mission and the presidents' council
have been invited to attend this
meeting and confer with members of
the charter revision committee.
In addition to this subject, the
committee will consider measures
that have been recommended for
submission to the people. Among
such measures is the proposed
amendment of the Ziegler act and
the measure providing for the sec
ond police judge.

the last two years aggregate not
far from $500,000. We already have
word of other large benefactions
that are seriously contemplated by
citizens of wealth,- and have been
informed of important bequests in
cluded in wills.
"The taxpayers of Oregon have
done splendidly by higher educa
tion. We are in advance of most
states. It would not be right under
present conditions to expect taxa
tion to take care in full of the
pressure of our heavily increasing
enrollment, and yet, unless some
thing is done, many young people
must be denied educational advan
tages. If is inconceivable that we should
lower standards and cheapen the
educational product by adopting
wholesale methods; the state should
be equally reluctant to limit at
tendance. We have studied the pos
sibilities of this campaign for more
than a year and are convinced that
there is in proportion as much lib
ereality and public spirit in Oregon
that can be enlisted to the support
of the state university as in Michi
gan or, for instance, in California,
where Income from gifts reaches
nearly two and a half millions a
year.
"In the last two years the Uni
versity of Oregon has been able to
devote $900,000 of millage money to
new buildings. But enrollment has
crept up until it is taking nearly
the whole millage fund to take cars
of the students. Besides, there was
a building shortage to begin with

"The university is in urgent need
of a library. The present structure
.was built to accommodate only 400
to 600 students. We now have 2500.s
A proper library under present-day
standards would cost $500,000 to
$1,000,000.
"The auditorium Vlllard hall, holds
less than half the student body. It
was built in 1885. The University
of Washington auditorium cost
$750,000, and one of similar size
would be none too large for our
prospective needs.
"A science building and classroom
buildings are most urgently needed,
as are suitable structures for the
university infirmary, the school of
journalism, the men's gymnasium,
dormitories and the museums. Be
sides buildings, a front-rank uni
versity must have books, collections,
museum material, research funds,
loan funds, scholarship funds and
exploration funds. The way is clear
for the economical use of at least
$10,000,000 in the next ten years
in addition to all available tax
moneys."
YOUNG SINNER SUFFERS
Tommy Mashburn, 10, Now In
Fraser Detention Home.
Tommy Mashburn, 10, has gone
the way of all bad little boys who
will not mind their grandmothers.
Now, instead of grandmother's
cookies, he is eating prison fare in
the Fraser detention home.
Tommy has often been picked up
at night on the streets. He has
never done anything wrong, so far
as the officers know, beyond leav
ing home in disobedience to his
grandmother.
Tommy took the next step. Last
night he stole a pair of binoculars,
a revolver, a box of cartridges and
four jackknives from a tent in the
municipal camp ground. He was
caught by a big policeman and held
in the hospital of the city jail until
he could be sent to detention home'

CHURCH PAGEANTS SAID TO
NEED BRIGHTENING UP.
Mrs. Harry E. Bellamy Lectures
at Episcopal Convention
on Methods. .
A movement to get away from
cheesecloth spirits, red Indians, bad
makeup, Ill-fitting wigs and general
boredom in the small religious
drama is being fostered at the gen
eral convention of the Episcopal
chuich by Mrs. Harry E. Bellamy,
director of pageantry in St. Johns
cathpedTal, Denver, Colo., who was
sent to the convention by the com
mission on pagentry and drama.
Mrs. Bellamy conducted classes on
five days of last week in which she
demonstrated how the small and
middle-sized parish can have its
church drama with small expense,
Mrs. Bellamy was assisted In her
classes by Miss Elizabeth Grimball,
who Is conducting the big pageant
here, and Miss Dorothy E. Weller
of Denver, who demonstrated the
making of simple stage &ets and the
effective use of lighting. The class
room play, worked out during the
week, showed the needs and
achievements of missions, both do
mestic and foreign.
"We do not want to recommend
extravagant methods nor to put un
due emphasis on the dramatic side
of church pageantry; we are trying
to do something for religion, not
for drama," said Mrs. Bellamy. "The
fundamental idea of drama in the
church today is to visualize and
vitalize Bible teaching, church his
tory and theology. The church
drama of today belongs essentially

account the visual education of the
day. adding to it the beauty of the
spoken word, light, color and the

"The productions, in order to ac
comphsh anything, must be instruc
tive and beautiful.'
Costumes need not be extravagant.
she said, but may be made from old
curtain materials, cleverly dyed, or
from unbleached muslin, which is
considered especially desirable.
"The fact of the matter is that
our unbleached muslin is far su
perior to the very best material used
in Bible times for the loveliest cos
tumes," said Mrs. Bellamy.
She estimated that costumes for
an entire cast in an ordinary church
drama can be supplied for an ag
greate cost of $7. The costume.

Discussions of theological ques
tions by dignified bishops and
learned doctors Is not all of the
Episcopalian convention. A fair-
sized exposition of church work is a
prominent feature of the greatest
fathering now on at the auditorium.
From a display on heathen gods,
brought from darkest Africa by a
missionary bishop of that country to
the latest motion picture presenta
tions of Biblical stories, the display
is one that attracts the attention of
not only churchmen, but laymen as
well.
From the basement, where Bishop
Overs and his five heathen idols hold
forth, to the second floor of the
building, where women's societies
and guilds have their booths, the
auditorium is filled with objects of
interest. Home-town newspapers,
cigars and tobaccos are mixed with
religious exhibits and an enterpris

beneath the steps where he vends
official views of the convention.
Idols Are DiMpIayea.

NEW ROSE CHRISTENED
Nine Distinguished Churchmen
Are Received as Member
of Royal Ronarians.
Portland played the host to vixil
ing Episcopal delegates lant nisht
at the municipal auditorium in the
official public reception for the dis
tinguished body of churchmen.
Governor Olcott and Mayor Baker
were there; so were the itosarlan.
A band furnished music, a new rone
was dedicated, and nine of the visi
tors were conferred with honors,
honorary members of the Koyal
Kosarlans.
Aa elaborate programme was car
ried out with but one hitch that
when an elderly lay delegate who
had attended 12 general conven
tions arose in the midst of the core
monies and publicly voiced the
opinion that In his many years of
attendance at general conventions
he had never visited a more hoHpll
able or more generous city.
The session opened with mualo.
The Rosartan band was In the or
chestra pit. With a blare of trum
pets a stirring march was struck up.
The Kosarlans marched down the
aisle and took their places. An.
other blast, the governor was her
alded, and amid the cheers of the
audience the state's chief executive
made his way to the platform.
Mayor Baker received similar hon
ors and marched to his place. Then
another blare of trumpdi. another
martial march, and the nine dlstln-
uglshed churchmen, one blhop and
eight laymen, marched to the etage.
Governor Blakee Addrees.

the arrival of Frank McOrlllla.
