Eighth Missionary .Council
erly Represented on United States War Vessels
Mormon' Question Hard Problem to Solve. '
Two interesting . matters In connec
tion with the relation of the Episcopal
church to the navy were brought Aip
this morning one a resolution asking
the congressmen and senator from the
Pacific 1 coast ; and the states , In ; the
eighth missionary district to Increase
the number of Episcopalian chaplain
in the navy to' 50, tfnd the' other sug
gesting that the district take over the
control of the - seamen's mission from
the Church of England. .v . ' . " . .
At present the Episcopal church , is
represented -by but 23 chaplains, while
in. 1842 there, were 24. A resolution
was adopted ' calling upon the clergy
men in the various parishes of the
eighth district comprising all states
west of the Rot-ky mountains to have
their representatives , in congress take
up the matter and Increase the number
of chaplains from the Episcopal church.
Rev. F. Stone, organising secretary
for the west coast, 'spoke on the- Sea
men's institutes of America, and said
that for the 14 years of their existence
the Pacific coast Institutes' had been
supported by the Church of England.
He thought It time that the American
church supported its own missions, and
asked that the institutions at Portland.
Ban Francisco, Los Angeles and Seattle
be taken under the charge of the eighth
missionary district. A resolution wa
passed thanking the English church for
its annual donations of 18,500 for the
support of the missions and suggesting
that the eighth district take some ac
tion towards suDDortinr th missions !
itself. . 1
Brief Talk by Bishops.
One of the most" Interesting features
of the sessions of the council were the !
iv-minute talks by the various bishops,
following the business seiislnn in th
pro-cathedral this morning. Bishop
Funsten of Idaho, referring to the great
Srlde taken by each bishop in his own
iocese, said that he quite naturally
considered Idaho ' the most- important j
diocese. It was like the man who was
Questioning the native of a wHtrn !
state about the commonwealth in which !
he lived. The native son rehearsed the
advantages and glory of the country
mo cAaoperaiea, stranger
Inquired: -
"Don't people die there?"
, "lea," answered the native son, "but
Its the last thing they do."
He said that Idaho is growing rapidly
and that the church 18 confronted with
four kinds of work Indian, educational,
hospital and evangelistic. The Indians
fe hard: to do much with and require
Infinite patience, said Bishop Funsten.
They proceed on the principle that the
whit men are invaders and that they
are entitled to take everything they
can from the newcomer
For instance, the bishop was In the
Indian agency one . day and was told
how one redskin farmer hadjust asked
the government for a horse-rake, a har
row and a hay-baler. The astonished
P ked what reply the agent had
made to the extravagant demands. "Oh
I gave him a box of axle grease and
1hnt Wy. "atlflftJ'" the agent.
Bishop Funsten made a plea for the
average man. savincr that i v.. .
the world's work wa done by the aver-
A CTSB; IH Hal AlhisA X A -
ZSimi -. 7 " ,ne average
priest who Jn the end completed tha
work of the church.
Bishop Spalding of Utah, an unusually
able and earnest speaker, discussed the
problems in Utah, saying that the work
Sf?,n?rertln8" ,hf Mormons Is a most
difficult one, and It is a hard fight to
luonrn8t thC WeaIthy aorao
yroblnt rrom the East.
m "Tou people of the Pacific coast wilj
find yourselves confronted with the
same problem that the Atlantic coat
5ltle".aMe "ow wrestling with. That Is,
that all the wealth of the church is
being centered on the coast, leaving the
vast inland territory without a strong
hold for the church. It Is true of the
east we are strong In Boston and New
?Ik, 2a Philadelphia and Baltimore,
but look at Illinois and Indiana. And
now you are strong In SeatUe and Port
land and San Francisco and Los An
geles, out be areful of your inland
states, f
Bishop Robinson of Nevada said that

to Bishop Whittaker's efforts. The
people of his diocese are lonelv and need
entertainment. They are beset by the
dangers of the saloon, the gambling
house and the scarlet woman. And it
must . be the effort of the church to
supplant these.
The important question of apportlon

WORK ON CELILO CANAL
CAN NOW 60 FORWARD
Colonel 8. W. Roessler, United States
engineer corps, ha received notice
from the chief of the department in
Washington that his revised plans for
the Celllo canal have been approved and
that work may now be prosecuted.
Specification for the project have
been in readiness ever sine th plans
were eer.t east and they will be for

Colonel Roessler says tbera is seou.ooo
available for the canal work without
further appropriation and thl money Is
expected to last tor at least two, sea
sons' work, a season being reckoned
from August to March. How many
men will be employed Is a matter to be
left to the contractors but the large
undertaking of straightening th canal
and giving It an even depth will require
a considerable number of laborers.
Colonel Roessler is not certain as to
when the government Will advertise for
bids for the several section of the
work but he is of the ODinion that It
cannot well be done before three weeks
from date, possibly four.- Advertise
ment will be ordered as soofi a the ap-
irovea .speciiicatlona return from Wash

fore August because Colonel Roessler
believes that Intending bidder for the

Inspect the river banks and bed where
the work is to be done and this will not
be possible until the water recedes to

"The work of the Woman's auxiliary
is to strensrthen the board of missions.
The board of missions is the string

The husband gets his ideas of values
from his wife, and it is the Intelligent,
faithful women who express the God
lire In their homes, who make - the
larger meaning of what God has put
men upon the earth to do. The women
must teach their husbands, lest they
become materialistic. They are to teach
their sons lest they beoome enamored
of the dreadful thought that making
money is man's business."

Schafferr'who wa slain by th officer
In the Schaffer home on th night of
March 1. ,
Suitter told hia story in a low voice,
having frequently to be urged to speak
louder In order that the attorney and
Jury might hear what, he was, saying.
He spoke without show of emotion,
lowly and evenly, aa though he wero
discussing some commonplace toplo at
the fireside, instead of telling the nar
rative of death. ' ;
Scan Illustrated. , :
As he came to the point where the
hooting waa described. Attorney John
Logan assisted the defendant In il
lustrating th scene. Logan represent!
Schaffer and gave an imitation of the
movement of th dead longshoreman
ta his last momenta of life as they
ware related by th man who killed
him.
Burner's story varies little from the
version he gave at th coroner in
quest. Schaffer had threatened him, be

grasped his club, while some of Schaf

aTalj-nbor Testify. v
Other testimony for the defense was
riven thl morning by Mra Chester
Shaffer, who i a next door neighbor
f th Henry Schaffer, but is not re
lated to them. She is a cousin of Mrs.
Suitter. (The Only other witness of
the morning -was Miss Beryl Stanley,
Sister of Mra. Chester Shaffer. , Their
testimony was important In contradict

the street and in several other par
ticular Orre of th Incident of th trial yes
terday afternoon was the withdrawal
from the case of Henry "E. McGinn,
special prosecutor, who nicked up his
hat and walked out of the courtroom
after Judge Cleland had" ruled against
him on tne admission of testimony
tending to show that Schaffer was re
garded as a dangerous and quarrel
some man. This came as the climax
to friction between McGinn and District
Attorney Manning that cropped out at
several points earlier in the case and
probabl made McGinn th more will
big to retire.
Mtowiwy Dispute with SXcQlnn.
This friction, was shown during the
examination of Mrs. Schaffer,' chief
witness for the state. McGinn started
this examination and carried it up to
the crucial point, where the shooting of
her husband waa described. Here
Manning Insisted that the widow should
be asked to stand and portray the
shooting. Illustrating th .. manner in
which she and her husband stood when
the fatal shots were fired.. McGinn did
not regard this a necessary, so Man
ning took charge of the witness him-1
self and concluded the examination.
There waa, no outright clash, but
McGinn doubtless did not relish having
the witness taken away from him by
the district attorney, who, as chief
counsel for the state, has the right to
take charge when he chooses.
"Going to Bar Trouble. "
Mra Chester Shaffer, next dior neigh
bor of Henry Schaffer, and a cousin of
Mr Suitter, was first on the stand this
morning. She told of hearing the noise
of celebration at her neighbor's house
on the night of th shooting. It waa a
loud, boisterous noise, she said. She
said that Henry Schaffer came over and
asked her to come to th party. She
declined, telling him that she did not
know his wife's friends. She said Schaf
fer then stepped back and remarked:
"We are going to have trouble tonight
We are going to have bad trouble."
Schaffer then explained that the trouble
would be with "the old man," meaning
with his landlord, Jacob Holsworth, as
he expected Holsworth to object, to the
party.
Mra Chester Shaffer also corroborated
other witnesses who saw Suitter and
Schaffer talking on the sidewalk after
Suitter's first visit to the Schaffer home.
Schaffer seemed much excited, she said,
and sshook his fist under the officer's
nose. Then Mrs. Schaffer came out,
spoke to her husband and took hold of
his coat, pushing him away from the
policeman. This was the first testi
mony as to Mrs. Schaffer'a going out
to'the street to pull her husband back
Into the house. Mra Schaffer has de
nied that she went outside the house or
saw her husband talking to Suitter out
side. Snitter on th Been.
Another point In Mrs. Chester Shaf
fer's testimony contradicting that of
the state was that Suitter wore no over
coat until after the shooting, when he
came to her home to borrow her hus
band's overcoat. She saw him just be
fore his first visit to the Henry Schaffer
home,- when he passed by the rear of the
house and told her not to -say any
thing. Miss Beryl Stanley, 17 years old, a
sister of Mrs. Chester 8haffer. corrob
orated the testimony of her sister in
all essential parts. .She also saw Suitter
and Schaffer on the sidewalk, saw the
latter shake his fist, curs the officer
and say something about "blackball."
She likewise saw Mrs. Henry Schaffer
go out and pull her husband away from

noise as they wanted tov He told them
he had no objeotion to their, party, but
thev would have to mage teas noise.
Ha said ha saw he could not reason with

the conversation he had With ' Mrs.

Schaffer alao saying that h paid rent

thought Schaffer wanted to make some

- Schaffer asked who - had complained

"I told him he must not talk that
way." continued tha witness, "or

Then he cursed me and said: 'Go ahead
and arrest me. .
"Mrs. ' Schaffer- then came down the
steps to where we were and caught
hold of Schaffer and - talked in broken
Ena-llsh. I could not understand what
she said. I had my club out at that
time. Schaffer said there were women
in the party and I told him that made
no difference they would have to stop
their noise. Schafferj said he would kill
that . i. and 'if you com

around, all talking at once In broken
English, and while thl hubbub waa In
rogress Bcnaner came in rrom tne
ltchen door. -He said something about
throwing out the officers.
"I thought he would try to carry out
his threat" said Suitter. "f pulled
my gun and Levens also pulled his
and swung it around.' As we both
stood with drawn guns Mrs. Schaffer
went to her husband and sard some
thing1 to him in German. He then
turned and went into the bath room and
most of those in the kitchen with him
also went in thera I told Levens to go
and get some help, and he-,stepped out.

my gun in my right hand. 1 told him

kicked at Schaffer. He kept coming

twice mora Then he fell.
Says Sobaffer Kld Club.
Cross-examination by District At
torney Manning, as far as it had gone
at noon, had developed little that was
new. Suitter was led to recount the
story in detail once .more. Asked why
he had not arrested Schaffer and his
wife when they abused him and threat
ened to kill him out on th sidewalk
after the first visit to the house, he said
he did not consider himself able to
take them. He admitted that at no time
had he seen Schaffer or any others in
the party with firearms. He said he
did not use his club Instead of his re
volver because Schaffer had hold of
the club.
Up to the time Suitter took th atand
his wife sat by his side. A few feet
way. back of the prosecuting officers,
sat the widow of Henry Schaffer. Once
she had to be warned by the court
for excitedly attempting to interrupt

Schaff er's Baputatton '
The defense has several witnesses to
prove the bad reputation of Schaffer
as a desperate man. It is hoped that
the case may be closed tomorrow even
ing, but this seems unlikely in view of
the progress made this morning.
Chester Shaffer . and : Jacob Hols
Worth were witnesses yesterday after
noon, the first for the defense,
Shaffer testified on - the same line
as the evidence given by his wlf this
morning, except that. he did not see Mrs.
Sphaffer go --out to the street where
Suitter and Schaffer were talking.
Holsworth. landlord of the Schaffer
premises, described th noise of the cel
ebration at Schaffer'a house, which he
said disturbed . him. He and Chester
Shaffer went together to call Suitter
to quiet the annoyance..
