DALLAS READY
TO GREET ELKS
Forty Tirousand (Jucsts Ex
pected Parade Will
Break Records.
E. B. Erlcson, President Oregon Un
dertakers' Aflsoclation.
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. Ilemstock, Portland; J. lie
Kntee. Portland.
A. L. Flu lev of Portland and M. A.
Rader of Pendleton were chosen as
delegates to represent the Oregon or
ganiratlon at the annual meeting of the
National Funeral Directors' association,
which meets In Indianapolis, October 6,
7 and 8.

The undertakers of Oregon and Wash

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.

Denver, Colo., July 10. Unless there
la an unexpected leprleve, Giuseppe
Alia. :be murderer of Father Deo lleln
rli lis, will be executed during the com
ing week. Preparation, ror the hanging
are now being made at the state prison
in Canon City.
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 knelt with the worship
pers at the foot of the altar and Father
llelnrichs piaeed the sacred wafer of
Hi.! communion on his tongue. , As he
did Alln gave an exclamation and
drew a revolver from Ills hip pocket
Placing the muzzle of the revolver clone
to trie priest a robe, Alln pulled the
trlxxer. As the shot rang through the
cniiren Father Helnrlchs staKBered and
then fell between two women, on one
nine T me murderer.
"Aly God; my God. to thee I commend
my soul." cried the stricken nrb-st as
he fell. He had been pierced through
the heart by the bullet ami died ulmosl
instantly.
Waving the revolver above bis head.
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.

Vancouver, B. C, July 10. "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.

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
