(By J. M. Cornellson.)
The opening service of the Synod
of Oregon was held last evening at
the Presbyterian church. The retir
ing moderator. Dr. H. N. Mount, D.
D., of Eugene, preached a strong ser
mon which was calculated to prepare
the hearts and minds of all present
for a good session of fellowship and
trust In God's guiding hand.
After the sermon the synod was
constituted with prayer and the clerk
called the roll, which revealed a
large number of both ministerial and
lay delegates present - and some are
to arrive toduy. The number, present
last evening was not far short of 100.
Bleakney Is Moderator.
When the meeting was opened to
receive nomination for the new mod
eratorshlp, Rev. R. J. Dlven, a for
mer pastor of Pendleton and later the
sky pilot of Pilot Rock, but now of
Portland, arose and In a very happy
and telling nominating speech, placed
before the synod the name of an old
school chum of his, a man well known
and highly respected In this com
munity, but not known to the body of
the synod till Mr. Dlven's "telling"
speech was over, which told. That
this very dear schoolmate was known
as a practical Joker on all occasions
when others desired to sleep or study
till he was cured of all and on this
wise. After some night prowls this
gentleman would leave his own room
and awake his chum by stoning his
window till he was let In or crawled
in the window. After an Interim of
ome days this Joker pelted . his
friend's window for admittance but
not being let In he raised the win
dow and used the bed of his friend
who was absent. Some days later
he chlded his friend for being out
late nights on a certain night, who
flatly denied it, saying he was In his
room ail that night and studied hard.
"You were not," said the Joker, "for
I used your bed till near morning."
Then the mystery of a supposed rob
bery was out, for In the meantime
some changes had been made In the
building and Mr. Dlven had given
his room to a new music teacher and
the Joker had used her bed, wham
he had never met. A change was
noted for the better In the life of the
Joker and It was asked many times.
"What has come over Murray," but
the cure did not leak out for two
years Inter, when It was found that
this "near" meeting of a lady to
whom he had never even been Intro
duced had done Its work on this
prominent student for the ministry.
"Gentlemen," said the speaker, "I
would like to put before you the
name of Dr. Wm. Hudson Bleakney."
It was seconded heartily by Rev. I
Myron Boozer of Baker and a unan
imous vote elected the good doctor to
be chairman of the- Synod of Oregon
for the ensuing year.
Rev. It. Myron Boozer of Baker
was elected temporary clerk, and
Rev. Ward M. McHenry was chosen
reporting clerk. The printed pro
gram for the day will be followed.
Tills Forenoon.

ing, led by Rev. I Myron Boozer, the

and the program was changed to suit
the hour.
The cause of Christian education
was discussed at the morning session
In a forceful paper presented by Dr.

adopted Oregon's famous statement

for the legislature voluntarily pledge
themselves to vote for the people's
senatorial choice, regardless of party
vote. The law likewise provides for
pledging to another statement to vote
only for a party's senatorial choice.

The president had practically given
up all idea of visiting the canal this
year, until Colonel Goethals, chief en.
glneer, called upon him this after
noon.
At the end of the visit Mr. Taft
had been convinced that the problems
confronting the officials of Panama
required his presence.
Some of the problems to be dealt
with in the Immediate future are:
The extent and character of the for
tifications; the fixing of tolls; a pro
posed Increase in wages; the future
management of the Panama railroad
the form of permanent government of
the canal zone and the regulation of
'.he sale of coal.

PHELPS EXPLAINS
T
District Attorney Phelps has re-
celved a number of Inquiries con-
cerning the status of the local option
cases and for the benefit of those who
desire to know, he makes the fol
lowing statement:
"At the last April term of court In
dictments were returned against
practically all the proprietors of the
socalled near boer saloons In Umatil
la county. Prior to this time it had
been claimed by such proprietors
that they were not selling Intoxicat
ing liquor but only a temperance bev
erage, known as near beer. Sam
ples of the boer were procured by
J. H. Weaver under the direction of
the grand Jury and chemical analy
sis was made showing that the bev
erage carried about 4 1-S per cent
alcohol and the Indictments follow
ed. The saloonmen through their at
torneys, signed a stipulation and ad
mitted in each case that beer had
been sold carrying 4 1-2 per cent al
cohol but denied that there was any
local option law In force In Umatilla
county by reason of the fact as they
claimed that there had been no suf
ficient canvass of the vote or record
made of such canvass. These cases

Ibis a Warm Speech.
; Cleveland, Oct. 14. Roose-
velt promises that his opening
speech in the New Yoitft cara-
paign which he makes at Imn-
kirk today will be important
and full of interest for both fol-
lowers and opponent. He

town, Calamanca, Wellesville.

Richmond, Ind., Oct. 14. When
the Roosevelt special train rolled
across Indiana today Theodore Roos
evelt pulled off his coat, rolled up
his sleeves and plunged Into one of
the hardest fights of his political ca
reer. He came to Indiana to do what
he could to send Senator Albert Bev-
erldge back to the United States sen
ate for six years more.
Early in the day he started in at
the, western boundary and as he ap-
pr.mched the eastern boundary to
night he said that there was "victory
in the air.'
Colonel Roosevelt talked of hon
esty, good citizenship, and the good
qualities of Mr. Beveridge. The is
sue in Indiana, he said, was one of
decency in public life as against
crookedness. Everywhere the colon
el went there was in the air the ex
citement of a red hot campaign.
Colonel Roosevelt asserted that the
whole republican party would be sol
Idly In line on a tariff program be
fore the next presidential election
came around. Senator Beveridge vot
ed against the Payne-Aldrich tariff
bill. Senator Beveridge presented a
bill for a tariff commission three years
ago. Colonel Roosevelt defended his
action in regard to the tariff and his
words were the next thing to an ex
pression of an opinion in regard to
the new tariff law which he has yet
made.
"Senator Beveridge did not split
from his party," the colonel paid in
his speech at Lafayette. "He merely
stood by the bulk of it, because the
real party consists of the mass of
people. The mass of the people wish
ed to see done Just what he did. And
before the next presidential election
comes around the platform will be
fairly and squarely the platform on
which Senator Beveridge tends."
Colonel Roosevelt said that the re
publican party was progressive and
always had been. Senator Beveridge
and the bulk of the party, he said at
Connorsvllle, were a little ahead of
some representatives of the pertv In
Washington.
"But the others will catch up." he
added. "They're a little late In utnrr-
I lng, but they're all right.'

Weather Bureau.
London, Oct 14. One of the big
gest hurricanes in a decade is sweep
ing the English and Irish coast and
strewing them with wreckage and
bodies of ships crews. Reports in
dicate 100 have perished already in
the storm which gained violence to
day. Sixteen passengers and six
members of the crew of the Steamer
Hatfield were lost when that vessel,
foundered in the "North Sea. The
Steamer Hartford is missing. It Is

sweeping the shore from Moray Firth,
Scotland to Hull. Bodies are report
ed to have been washed ashore at
Malin Head, Garron Point. Several
large vessels piled hard on the rocks.
The loss of life and shipping is be
lieved low owing to the fact that the
weather forecast sent out ahead pre
dicting storm resulted In most ships
remaining in the harbor. The ad
miralty today considered the advisa
bility of sending warships to scenes
of reported wrecks in hopes of saving
lives.

ATHENS FEARS WAR
OF TURKEY AND GREECE
Athens, Oct. 14. Great apprehen
sion Is felt here today. It Is believed
Turkey is nbout to begin war against
Creece without a formal notice like
Japan did with Russian For some
time the two nations have been at
swords points which has been in
tensified because of anxiety of Cre
tans to annex to Greece despite 'the
fact they are Turkish possessions.
Athens, Oct. 14. Large bodies of
Irregular Turkish troops are concen
trating along the Turkish-Greek
border and anti-Greek boycott Is in
creasing in stringency throughout
Turkey. Many Greek merchants are
being expelled. Hitherto Turks have
been held back by fears of an en
counter with Bulgarians, but their
alliance with Roumania Is calculated
to hold Bulgaria In check so there Is
no further reason to delay operations
against Greece.
