G, Malone. one who haa not been friendly to the retention of Rev Alexander Blackburn as pastor of tho First Baptist Church of Portland, had prepared his resignation but will not present It tonight. No definite additional action has as yet been taken by members of the First Baptist Church congregation looking to thfe removal of the present pastor o'f that' flock. Rev. Dr. Alexander Black burn. Although definite announcement waa made more than a week ago that a second petition would be circulated and presented calling a meeting of the church membership to act in this mat ter, thus far no move In this direction has been made. Those who favor the retention of Dr. Blackburn do not hesi tate to say that nothing further will be done. The fact that the first vote re sulted tn Dr. Blackburn's favor. It is claimed, will prevent" another effort. However, it Is known that peace has not entirely been restored for at the covenant meeting to be held tonight It was ine intention or Deacon J. u. Ma lone to tender hla resignation and retire from active duty as an official of the church. ' This resignation was written and ready to be handed In when Mr. Malone changed his mind and decided that he would-not wltnaraw at present, Just what caused his change of in tentions In this respect Mr. Malone re fuses to state.

It Is claimed that had Mr. Malone's resignation been presented several other of the deacona of the First Bap tist "Church would have-followed -sirlt. E. M. Runyan Is the only member of the board positively known to support Dr. Blackburn and the position taken by the pastor and It Is possible that one resignation would have been followed by four others- Those opposing Rev. Blackburn say It is not their intention at the present time to stir up additional strife. They are waiting to ascertain whether their pastor will resign as has, . they, claim, been promised he would. . In the event he does not do so within a reasonable time, it Is plainly stated, there will be a number of resignations, a demand for aotion by the church and possibly a division of the local charge. 1 But all unite in saying there will be nothing done at the covenant meeting tonight. tAJtOEST ClOTKIXXS XV THE VOBTXWZST.".

Xcjil JL'l x Nothing but a thin plank intervenes to prevent travelers of the upper world from dropping Into a seemingly bottom less pit at the Intersection of First and Ash streets in the City of Portland. The passing of street cars has so: loos ened the arching above a Are cistern that the brick pavement has fallen In and a gaping chasm yawns. Although this condition has been known, since Monday and has been reported to the authorities no action to remedy it haa been taken. The opening Is several feet lit circum ference, and is dangerous not only to teams that have to pass along these streets, but It is also a menace to bi cyclists who may ride along that way. While several thin boards are scattered around the opening, only one narrow plank lay across' the chasm all morning. Several hundred teams have passed near the dangerous spot during the four days, and. many drivers have had narrow es capes- from having their horses step into the hole. The board that has, been across the cistern-opening is said to have been placed there by a passer-by, the authorities seemingly not having visited the spot. The car tracks that run across this cistern are operated Jointly by the Port land Railway, the City & Suburban and the Oregon Railway & Water Power Companlea. The' traffic over the lines so weakens the cistern's roof that it falls in every few months. Last year. there is said to have been an opening at the same point as the present one, and it was repaired by the railway compa nies. Fire Chief David Campbell this morn ing stated that he notified the officers of the three street railway companlea of tha caving.in of the cistern arching two days ago. Up until late thla after noon no action had been taken to repair the accident, with the-exception of the board that had been placed there by some passing citizen.
