GERMAN PRESS
DEMIES REPORT
Newspapers of Europe De
clare Emperor Has No
Designs on Tahiti.
(United Press Leased Wire.)
Berlin, Oct. H. In querulous tones,
the German press complains that the
English newspapers have given currency
to false reports of German designs upon
Tahiti. Reference Is presumably made
to tho message from Sydney, which al
luded to rumors of cession to Germany.
The text of this telegram is plain.
Rumors of this nature have been cur
rent In Australia, and German as well
as other foreign Journals have received
detailed communications on the subject.
It Is undeniable that the English papers
have contented themselves with stating
the existence of these rumors, and the
North German Gazette, for instance,
confirms the statements that the Ger
man cruiser Condor has visited Tahiti,
and that the German chief Justice of
Samoa is now conducting "privata
ethnological studies" In the island.

Arrangements Now Deing
Made by Committee Wil
Be Announced Within 10
Days Local Presbytery
Strongest in the West.
Under a newly devised plan launched
by the Portland presbytery Just before
the recent session of the synod the pres
bytery will become self-supporting. The
plan now about perfected will be an
nounced within the next 10 days. It is
being formulated by a committee from
the presbytery, consisting of Rev. Henry
Marcotte, Rev. William Hiram Foulkes
and Rev. A. J. Montgomery.
Portland presbytery Is the strongest
presbytery west of the Mississippi river
It--has been prominent in many ways In
outside efforts, such as the German
work and the Alaska work, taking the
initiative in each of these lines. ISow
the Important step of self-support and
complete Independence from Its eastern
connections is to De undertaken, and
the plan will be working by November 1
The plun discussed before the recent
synod received added Impetus during
these sessions. J. E. McAfee urged thai
In so prosperous a country the church
should become self-supporting. The
community ig one of the most rapidly
growing In the I'ntted 8tates, and with
recent efforts In the way of advertising
an that In the last issue or The Interior,
which was a Portland issue, the presby
tery expects additions that In the near
future will make the church In this
city still more prosperous.
At the meeting of the presbytery this
morning It was also announced that an
attempt will be made to hold a general
foreign missions convention In Portland

The suggestion was made during the
visit to the synod by Rev. Dwight E.

ments will be under the supervision of
the Ministerial association and it is be
lieved the convention Is a certainty, for
the different denominations in Portland
seem to favor such a meeting. No ac
tion has been taken further than to de
clare In favor of such a meeting.
The synodlcal communion was held
at the Third church yesterday and many
delegates on whom it was not urgent
that they should be In their pulpits re
mained over for the serylces. Many
delegates filled pulpits In different parts
of the city both at the evening and
mornng services. Besides the com
munion other religious services subse
quent to the synod were held. Last
night both J. E. McAfee and Dr. D. E.
Potter addressed the congregations at
the First and Third Presbyterian
churches. While they exchanged pul
pits Rev. W. S. Holt spoke at the First
church. Mr. McAfee Is secretary of
the board of homo missions and Rev.
Mr. Potter is secretary of the board of

The attempt at self-support of the
