The annuel convention of the Spirit
liallsts ARE being held today in Port-
" land. The word are" U used advisedly,
.for there are two of It. One meeting Is
ir. Forester' hall In the Marquam build
in; the other Is In Allsky hall. The
first la under the auspices of Harry
Yanckwlcli; the second Is conflicted by
JJra, S. B. Beip.
There la a violent tempest In the Spir
itualistic teapot, which is why the local
Spiritualists are divided into two camps
and the members of one faction assume
a pained expression whenever the other
nrmnlullnn la mentioned. Each or-
. ganlzatlon clalma to be the real and
only duly authorised Spiritualists' asso
ciation and Haims that, the other outfit
ia tlleaal and made ud of frauds ana
fakers. .
Harry Yanckwlch appear to hold the
winning hand for the present. He has
r.bout 60 in' attendance at his conven
tion, -while Mra. i Selo holds forth to
nniv.lK XfnrMvAf. th Yanckwmh con
ventlon haa a real, live missionary ffom
London. "
But the Selp convention has In at
tendance John Slater, whom the Selp ad
herents claim la the greatest exponent
of Spiritualism, the moat magnificent
lecturer ana me greatest meaium in
the world. Mr. Slater admits all these
thing, too. and says that the whole
, fight Isover him. Mra. Selp says ao,
too. 17 .
"It fa all because I can draw the big
rest audiences of any man in myltne
In the world and can hold them spell
bound." ' aaj-s ' Mr. Slater. They want
me and that's why they are sore. But
I heartily support Mra. Selo and recog
tilse her i the only president of the
State upirltuallsta association.
' Dsfles Threatened Arrest.
""They ea Id I wouldn't dare to come
10 Portland for fear of being arrested.
Hut i came Just because 1 had promised
Mrs. Selp I would. They waited for me
fet the union station, but I got off at
the Morrison street station not because
I was afraid of them, but because that
' was the nearest place to where I wanted
to go. i Their clairvoyanta weren't good
enough to tell them where I got off.
I'm not afraid of them."
Mra. Selp said that ahe and her or
ganisation refuse to admit that there la
any other meeting or tne state associa
tion being held in Portland. "We are
the only true association," ahe said. "I
(waa elected president for the year and
I'm going 'to hold office uijtJl my uc
resaor is duly elected by our'' conven-
. tlon." s
3f "We are holding our convention un-fler-the
National Spiritualist associa
tion," was the statement made at the
ether place,' "and "we are the only real
fnnventlon We do not recognise the
rt her crowd at all. Let them do as
hey please. We are not going to do
anything jto Mr. Slater. He la safe
- Enough unless - he ; holds meetings
and charges admission. Then we'll have
, pirn arrested." ; '
- So the State Spiritualist association
f Oregon -la holding Ita annual con
tention. If ou can., take your choice
a to which ia It.
V v i , The One In the Marqnaia.
i The ' convention in the Marouam
building was called to order by Harry
aancKwicn at 10 o'ciock tnis morntng,
fcnd after a song and the invocation, the
latter by Rev. H. E. Howes, Yanckwlch
delivered the address of welcome. He
aid: -
r "We have-more delegates present to
day than ever before, and tne-best is
that all the delegates are in this room.
t Whatever convention Mrs. Seip haa we
Ao not klJJjW of. The state association
; pas not Sent a single delegate to her
convention.; -If people understood spir
itualists: they would appreciate us. We
eome before the world with a new the
ory; there are things we cannt see.
4nd such things that we cannot sea are
Spiritualistic. All the men whobefore
were atheists. Including Harry Yanck
wlch. are now spiritualists."
r . Tanckwlch announced that tomorrow
between 1:30 and 3 o'clock a banquet
would be held at a local restaurant.
Aagls for Spectator.
The response to the address of wel
come was made by Rev. d. C. Love. "I
stand before you," he said, "thoroughly.
In touch ' with the higher power. An-
rels are looking down upon this conven
lon to blesa or blame the work done
tiere. Aa loyal people to the great na
tional society we have come here In
accordance with the lawa Of Oregon. I
extend to you Mr. Yanckwlch. on behalf
of the delrgiitea the right hand of fel
lowship and pledge yon our aid. We
slncerelv condole with you for the trou
bles you have had fighting our battlee."
President Yancwlrh appointed himself
nil Mr. Trs It the committee on crenen
tlals. and they retired to consider those
presented, after a committee on rules,

len ajitl Mr. Copperthwalte had been ap

the rhair and called for a general dla-
cusnlon
Mrs. M. A. Condon stated significant
ly that she was sincerely thankful that
tnev naa maoe an tneir mows in an ut
deriy, safe, conslatent and legal man'
ner.
"We have no disposition." she said,
"to sy anything about any one.else.
Truth will tke care of itself. The
time Is propitious for beginning a new
effort In our work. It is up to us to
come up to the full measure of our duty.
We do not peed to deprecate our causa
In the least degree. We know that our
philosophy underlies all that Is in the
worm. .. -
Kr. Xowea of .loadon, Ton Know,
H. E. Howes of london waa called for
and came forward. He wore ma nair
a La Padarewskl. with a tenderly careG
for mustache and an Imperial worthy of
a Frenchman. Also he r-r-r-rolled hla
r-r-r-rs. He spoke for some time, dilat
ing on the fact, which he stated, that
the majority of the men of aclence, es
pecially those who are members of the
Chuch of England, are Spiritualists.
"The church has known all along," he
said, "the realltv of spiritualism. Spir
Ituallsm la youra and mine because we
have loved some one who has gone be
fore and we want to know how they are
living."
Mrs. Althea Bailey called upon the
convention to come down t earth for a
moment for some nlaln i facts. "The
experience of the past year, "she said,
"has beeri a lesaon to us all. There
have been mistakes made. Important
Questions are coming" ud for considers
tlon this afternoon and we must sup
port our SDlrttuallsm farther, than y
stanaing up ana voting tor a measure.
Let us not be haetv. Let us weigh
every measure. And let ua forget per
sonalities.
Secretary- Harrison D. Barrett . said
that liftWas an .optimist when he looked
upon such' a convention. He felt that
the work of the past year had been the
rjest ever done in tne state or uregon,
"especially since the old organization
waa killed by causes I need not men
tion."
"This is not & vaudeville perform
ance, lasting for the moment, out a
religion of the aoul. Isn't It about time
for us to look and be like other neoDle.
Isn't It about time for us- to He law-
abiding and law-respecting.? There-
are three thinga which we should adopt
tomorrow: Conservatism, concentration
and consecration." .
Other speakers were Miss Nellie Gib
son ef Portland. Mis' M. Wheeler of
Lenta, and .Rev. W. T. Allen, pastor of
the ministers' and mediums' associa
tion of Portland.
- Hampered Soma, Bat Still Groin?.
Down at the other meeting, 1,0, the
Allsky building,, the crowd was amaller
but the claim to be the only genuine
convention of the Oregon. Spiritualists'
association no less emphatic. The state-
ment was made that proceedings had
been considerably hampered by the fact
that the Yanckwlch organization had
got possession of the books and. conse
quently It was difficult to find out ex
actly what had been done during the
year.
The morning session was a short one,
taken uo mostly by the reports of of
ficers and committees. An extract from
the minutes of the secretary says: "Mra.
Lou Ellen Cornell gave a complete and
beautiful report of the year's work for
which she was given a rising vote of
thanks and appreciation." The report
says: "Our president. Mrs. Sophia B.
Selp, has worked under great strain
and I am sorry to say much envious
opposition Instead as it should have been
united errort in tne cause.
"All work has been faithfully car
ried on by our president and. board of
directors under very strenuous and try
ing circumstances, but trusting tnat
rising through the dark night a new
dawn of light may appear whereby
'truth crushed to earth will rise again
the eternal f-eara of God are hers. While
error wounded writhes in pain and dies
among Its worshipers. Yours Tor trutn,
"LOU ELLEN CORNELL."
Both organizations will elect officers
thia afternoon, and will hold sessions
all day tomorrow.

Judas Oantenbeln nlan atlnulated that
the examination shall be carried on dur

The matter came up this morning on
a demurrer to the return on the writ
for Inspection of the books. James
Gleaaon, acting for Mrs. Collins, did
not object to an order for Inspection
within eertaln limits and Martin L.
Plpea, for Mra. Boise, wanted the widest
latitude possible. The result therefore
cannot be said to be much of a victory
on either aide, but gives each side op
portunity to gather ammunition for the
coming fight on the trial of Whitney L.
