Evolutions In funeral services. Includ ing putting themselves on record as being opposed to Sunday burials, are promised by members of the fourth annual convention of the Oregon State Funeral Directors' association, which has been In session at McMlnnvllle this week. Before any of the new rulings are put Into effect, however, the under takers will confer with the members of the ministerial association. A resolution In which the association voices Itself as being opposed to two fares- as Is now charged by the rail road companies for the transportation or oodles was unanimously ailopted. The undertakers believe that one fare Is all that should be demanded in such cases. The association members are also opposed to burials at sea and to members or the profession conducting burial services themselves at any time. A resolution to this effect was passed and members who have been making this a practice will be requested not to do so in the future. Neither are the undertakers in favor of funerals on the Sabbath, and this, too, will be taken up with the' ministerial members at a meeting to be held In Portland. Let Family Hire Carriages. The undertakers are In favor of their patrons hiring carriages of livery com pany proprietors instead of through the efforts of the funeral director, as Is often done. Officers of the association were elect ed as follows: E. E. Erlcson, Portland, president; V. II. I-lmber, H'orest Grove, vice-president; K. W. Morgan, Baker City, vice-president; A. T.. Finlay, Port land, secretary, and C. Tilbury, McMinn Wlle, treasurer. Following is the board of directors: M. T. Macy, McMlnnvllle; M. A. Rader, Pendleton; J. J. Simmons. North yam hill; A! B.

SLAYER OF PRIEST HAHGS HEXT WEEK Unless Unexpected Keprieve Is Granted fluiseppc Alia Must Die. A. L. Flnley, Secretary Oregon Un dertakers' Association. The Oregon members have agreed to assist the Washington delegates to Indianapolis In every way possible. The entertainment fund to be subscribed by both associations will be used In show ing the national convention delegates of next year parts of Washington and Portland and other places of Interest in Oregon as well. One of the Interesting papers read at the McMlnnvllle meeting was that of Dr. Charles L. Williams on the rela tionship between the doctor and the undertaker. Minister Makes Suggestions. "Soma Needed Funeral Reforms," was the subject of an addrens delivered by Rev. A. M. Williams, pastor of the First Presbyterian church in McMlnn vllle. "The funeral service, as I see it from first to last. Is a combination of three elements the physical, the esthetic and the religious." said Rev. Williams. "The minister has very little to do with the drat two. but the undertaker Is con cerned with them all. "There are some bodies which ought not to be viewed for reasons that are well known. Hilt tyranny of custom Is mighty. Wbo will rise to dispute its sway? There are some persons In every funeral crowd who for reasons known to us all should not be allowed1 to look upon even a good-looking corpse. Let the body He In state certain hours for all who care to see It. And let the 'last look' be taken only by those who have a right to see the family of the deceased. Let Funerals Move Faster. Dr. Williams is In favor of Increas ing the speed of funeral processions on the way to the cemetery, and which view will be heartily supported by all who have spent tiresome hours on such an unpleasant journey. Dr. Williams says It is a crime against the living to compel persons In a long cortege to face the cold or chew the dust for twice or thrice as long as necessary. Dr. Wil liams is not In favor of standing with uncovered heads at graves when the mercury Is hovering about tho sere-point.

The crime for which Alia Is to pay the d.'ath penalty was committed In St. Elizabeth's1 Roman CatTiollc church In this city at early mass Sunday morning, February 23. the time being about tl o'clock.

Alia started down the main aisle to the church door. There was confusion In the congregation, and the Italian might have escaped but for Daniel Crlnln, a police patrolman, who threw himself on the assassin. Others come to the patrolman's rescue and Alia was quickly overpowered. He was hurried to the police station and then to the county lull. A few hours later, when popular Indignation became so manifest that it was feared Alia would be lynched, he was put aboard a train and locked up In Colorado Springs. Within two weeks of the commission of his crime the Ital ian was tried and convicted and rlvnn n death sentence.

"It Is placing too low an estimate on hu manity to suppose that any panic such ns that of last year would be brought on by the men at tho head of the great commercial and Industrial Interests of the I'nlted States." Thus Henry W. Taft replied to a question put to him on his arrival here from Seattle. "Is there nnv truth In the rumor that the critic::! financial conditions were artificially precipitated?' he wua asked by a 1 nlted press representative. Mr. Taft said: "I can only express my Individual opinion, on that question. So far as I know and I am In a position to know there could be jio element In human nature so base as to produce such a condition as prevailed In money circles for a time all over the United States. It would be difficult to describe the ap prehension .which prevailed for a time among business and financial concerns. "No, there was no political object in view." Mr. Taft voiced his view that a steady recovery from the financial de pression was In progress. The Taft party has left for the moun tains. ST.

AID PROMISED FOR NURSES STRICKEN WHILE SAVING LIVES 110 , what Is recognized as an urgent need. a system of harmonious and uniform laws and regulations governing the ex change of pure food products between tne leading commercial nations. LEWIS 3IAV EXHIBIT AT THE A. Y. P. FAIR Interest In the plan for a cottage where nurses affected by tuberculosis may be treated at the Open Air sani tarium; is to be generated throughout the state by the Visiting Nurses' as sociation, whose members are scattered In many towns and will be urged to help along the movement, begun here a few days ago. A subscription list has been started, and many physicians and others who know the need of the proposed bulldlnK are only waiting to be called on to furnish substantial aid. That the faithful band of women who brave the death chamber and spend long hours to alleviate suffering are entitled to the best attention them selves when seir.ed by one of the most dread enemies of tne race, tubercu losis. Is a fact that will appeal strongly to the public when the movement Is fully understood. The plan Is to con struct In -a quiet, restf4lace, a con venient cottage where nurses suffer ing from tubercular troubles may go and be cared for to the best advantage. The cost of such a building is n."H large, but It must be met by subscrip tion. The nurses cannot be expected to stand such an expense, for they have battles of their own to fight. Seven hundred and fifty dollars will build a fairly convenient cottage, but J1.000 will build a better one. No limit has yet been fixed, but the plans will be worked out In detail as soon as the raising of the money is assured. Subscriptions for this worthy cause will be received at The Journal office and credit promptly given, so that all may know the progress that Is being made. A start has been made, as fol lows: The Journal J10 C. S Jackson 10 F. W. Mulkev 10 J. N. Teal 10 tfte (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) Chehalls, Wash., July 10.
