The meeting was lead by Dr. Ernest F. Hall, and the speakers were Dr. Wm. H. Foulkes, D. D., Dr. Warren H. Landon, D. D., and Rev. Henry Marcotte.

BUSINESS MEN I That the responsible citizenship of Pendleton deeply deplores the hood lumlike conduct of one or two people at the riotous meeting on Court street last night Is shown by the following signed statement to this paper today: To Whom It Many Concern: We, the undersigned, citizens, tax payers and business men of the City of Pendleton, and members of the Greater Oregon Home Rule associ ation, ln Justice to the City of Pen dleton and the aforesaid organization. and In the Interest of fair play and order, do most unqualifiedly UN OF ALL NATIONS MEET Preparations for Big Inter national Balloon Race All Made. RECORD BREAKING FLIGHTS PREDICTED St. Louis to be Scene of Great Aerial Contests Monday Many Famous Aeronauts Representing all Nations are on Hand Ready for Meet Much Interest Taken In Wcllman's Attempt to Cross Atlantic. St. Louis, Oct. 15. Final prepara tions were made today for the Inter national balloon race Monday. Ten contestants, representing all nations and numbering some of most widely known aeronauts in the world will start. Although the American bal loon race last month was remarkable for jecords, weather conditions are breaking flights. Aeoronauts expect Well to complete his fiignt ir everything Is favorable, in six or sev en days. Experts familiar with Atlantic cur rents say Wellman should succeed this time. They predict, however, the dirgible will be carried far out of its course, possibly south to Spain or north to the Arctic. Hi Inks Feat Feasible. Milwaukee, Oct. 15. MaJ. Herzey, who was with Wellman on his polar expedition here said the present feat was undoubtedly feasible. "It will depend entirely on the weather," he said. "With favorable weather the balloon should land safely, on the other side. With adverse air currents or heavy rain storms It is hard to say where the expedition will end." DISRAELI FOR HOME RULE? Statement Recently Made by Fervent Irish Nationalist. Dublin. At a recent meeting at Letter-Kenny, Mr. Swift O'Neill de ciared that the late earl of Beacons- field (Benjamin Disraeli) really fa vored home rule, although he was a tory. Mr. O'Neill said It was not generally known that Disraeli him self was at heart a home ruler. In 1877 Mr. Plerrepoint, the American ambassador, had a conversation with , him which he committed to his diary. He askeil Lord Beaconsfield had he any plan in reference to the settle' ment of the Irish question, and Lord I Beaconsfield said he had no perfect- I ed plan fixed, but his general idea j was that if he had the power he , would give to Ireland a constitution similar to that which New York state and Pennsylvania or Ohio had, !

Atlantic City, Oct. 15. Carrying Pilot Walter WeUman. Engineer Van- lman and a crew of six men, the gl- gantlc dirigible America started to- day to cross the Atlantic ocean. The big crowd cheered until the gas bag had disappeared oceanward and was hidden by a bank of fog. The start was made shortly after sun rise this morning. Before starting, Wellman said he was not sure wheth er he would make a trial trip or dertake the trans7Atlantic Journey. I After leaving the ground, however, his wireless plant flashed the mes sage: "Consider the European trip started." He carries provisions for 75 days, also unsinkable lifeboats j and a wireless outfit. j If Wellman succeeds ln his attempt his dirigible will be the first to con- nect the old and the new world by an aerial route. This morning the following wireless was received: "Headed northwest, all is well aboard and machinery working fine, good bye." j When he mounted his machine this morning Wellman said he believed he j would simply make a trial flight, but Chief Engineer Vaniman, however, said: "Not much you wont. We are going to Europe today or bust. We 1 have delayed too long as It Is." . As a result the European trip was under taken. A brisk wind carried the balloon seaward. For the last three weeks Wellman has announced his starting every day but each time failed. The skies were overcast today.

The street meetmg which was held last evening at the American Na tional Bank corner of Main and Alta streets, was probably the most suc cessful of any yet held by local and visiting ministers during the past week ln behalf of the campaign to make Oregon "drj." Dr. William Parsons of Portland was the speaker and his subject was the "Curse of Prohibition in Kansas." The speaker went on to show, however, that pro hibition had been a blessing Instead of a course for the Sunflower state. Other meetings were held yesterday at noon and again at noon today.
