The oppressive heat of .Monday sent the mercury up to 93 degrees, equaling the highest mark ever recorded in September in Portland- In 1886, 190" and 1909 similar high marks were reached. Willamette valley points reported continued high temperatures Monday with Medford at the head of the list at 102 degrees. Other reports were: Roseburg, 100 ; Albany, 97, and Salem, 96. Eastern Oregon was having hot weather too, for Umatilla reported a maximum of 98 degrees. A slightly higher amount of moisture in the air Monday caused the heat to be felt more. The humidity at 5 p.. m. was 37. A higher percentage of mois ture than Monday morning was re ported at 5 a. m. today with a record of 84. The added early morning mois ture held the temperature down slightly and a mark of 65 degrees was reported at 8 a. m. as against 67 de grees Monday morning.

The crisis of the grave illness of Mrs. Hard ing seems to have passed, the six at tending physicians reported at 9 :12 a. m. today in an official bulletin. The bulletin read I "Mrs. Harding's condition at 8 a. m. t "Temperature, 98.8. "Pulse, 94. "Respiration, 32. "Early part of night restless. Latter part comfortable. General appearance improved. Enlargement due to the nephrosis decreasing. Laboratory find ings favorable. Crisis seems to have passed. -Surgical procedure deemed unnecessary for .the present. (Signed) "C. E. SAWYER." The bulletin shows Mrs. Harding this morning had near normal temper ature. "The exact cause of Mrs. Harding's intermittent attacks, culminating in the latest and most serious affection was learned for the first time today. Fol lowing an operation In 1913 in which an incision was made directly into the kidney. Mrs. Harding recovered rapidly and for a considerable period was in splendid health. Serious complications developed, however, when the healed organ broke from its natural fasten ings, causing the condition known as "floating kidney." - Periodically, it was stated, the un anchored kidney . presses against the outlet canal, practically shutting off the natural outlet. This results In severe attacks such as the present, and can only be permanently relieved by an operation. . Tliis probably will be attempted as soon as Mrs. Harding's general health has improved to a point where a major operation can be at tempted. The steady improvement In Mrs. Harding's condition will make it pos sible for Dr. Charles Mayo, the fa mous sergeon, who arrived here Sun day, to return - today to his home in Rochester. Minn. The following statement to this- ef fect was issued by the White House at 11 :8 o'clock : "Owing to the subsidanee of surgi cal requirements in the ease of Mrs, Harding, Dr. Charles Mayo expects to leave for home this afternoon or this evening."

Episcopalians of California, the "wine state," wish the right to drink unfermented "Juice of the wine" in holy communion instead of fermented wine if they so desire, according to a memorial presented to the House of Bishops at The Auditorium today by Bishop Joseph H- Johnson of Los An geles. Many clergymen and laymen of the diocese signed the memorial. 1 If the General Convention should not see fit to make the use of un fermented wine mandatory, the me morial asks that it "at least give permission to use the same to those priests and persons to whom this sub ject has become a question of con science." The taste' of liquor is dangerous where a person taking the sacrament has been a drunkard, according to it, those supporting the memorial. ,A ajp may start him down again. FAjVOE ADMITTING T6ME3r ' ' Admission of women to the house of deputies on the same status as that granted laymen was recommended to the house of bishops by the joint com mission appointed at the last trien nial convention to consider woman's work in the church. The proposal that a separate house of churchwomen be formed was "dis approved by the commissionThe com mission's report was read to the house by -Bishop William T. NMchols"of. Cali fornia. As regards the house of .depu ties, the -constitution. ' Instead of read ing 'layman." would -read '"la com municants of this church." This change is recommended on the basis of the equality of women with men In the New Testament and in the mod ern political world. COXSIDEE PADDOCK CASE The resignation or the Rt. Rev. Rob ert LeWls Paddock, missionary bishop of Eastern Oregon, which has been of fered to the house of bishops, of the General Convention, was set for con federation this afternoon at an execu ive session of the bishops. Bishop Paddock's health has failed him. and it is said that he was told by his physicians that if he returned to his field he probably would be going to has death. The case is further com plicated by the fact that Bishop Pad dock conducts his church affairs in a manner which, though never criticised from a religious standpoint, - is con sidered unorthodox by some of the bishops. However, though the bishop's res ignation might be accepted, he would still retain hie office, and there would be nothing to prevent his appointment to another field when he had regained his health. The question of taking into the folds oft the Episcopal church the Reformed Church of Hungary in this country was submitted to a special committee of the house of bishops this morning on motion of Bishop Matthews of New Jersey, who submitted a petition from the Reformed church. This, if accomplished, is a step of vastly more importance than the re vision of the Prayer book," declared Bishop- Matthews..
