The Saturday morning session of
the synod was opened with devotion
al services, led by Rev. Frank R.
Tugg. The synod was called to or
der by the moderator. A report on
"Christian Life" whs presented by
Dr. E. M. Sharp of Portland, and
was followed by a discussion as how
to reach and convert the youths of
the churches and in the homes.
Rev. A. M. Williams and Kev.
Henry Marcotte presented suppll-
mentary reports on the work among
the youths of the church and in the
schools, all of which was heartily
adopted.
Among the other reports of work
on church activities was that on the
work done by the cause of temper
ance In all the states. This report
was presented by the chairman of the
committee, Wm. Parsons, D. D , with
mlllnar enthusiasm. He seemed to
have a happy memory of his street
addresses.
The report was heartily adopted
and other ringing addresses made
along that line of activities.
Th nroiram of the synod was
changed so that the synodical com
munlon service will be held at the Tu
tullla Indian church between the
hours of 3 d. m. and 4 p. m. and
through the courtesy of the Com'
merclal club of Pendleton, the mem
bers of the synod who wish to attend
will be taken out to this service. They
ask that all meet at the street below
the Commercial club rooms.
Miss Julia Hatch, representing the
" Woman's North Pacific board of mis.
slons was heard on the floor of the
svnod as the last speaker this morn
Ing, telling of that board's work and
organizations In the different enures
es. Her report shows that the best
men In the church are the women in
many hard places.
Yesterday's Sessions.
Yesterday afternoon's session of the
synod was taken up with two reports
and a discussion of the same, me
first was a comprehensive paper on
"Foreign Missions," presented by
Rev. H. T. Babcock of Salem, which
showed that the mission activities of
the church was co-extenslve with the
nations of the world, with great re
sults coming from such work. Fol
lowing this report there was held an
open discussion led by Rev. Earnest
F. Hall of San Francisco, who repre
sented the board of foreign missions,
whose headquarters are In New York.
The report on home missions was
presented by the chairman of the
committee. Dr. W. S. Scemann,
D. D., of L Grande, which
showed good and active work
being done In most of the churches.
In connection with this Dr. J. V. Mil
llgan, D. D., presented a report show
ing the activities of the six Sabbath
school missionaries of the state, es
" peclally in the outlying and sparsely
settled districts of the state. Then
followed a discussion of same led by
Dr. Wm. B. Noble. D. D., L. L. D., of
Ban Francisco, who spoke as a repre
sentative of the board of home mis
sions, whose headquarters are also
In New York. He vividly put before
the synod all that has been done for
America by home mission work In
the past one hundred years and too a
vision of the great work yet to be
done with this Pacific coast as the
strategic place of such activities.
This closed the afternoon session.

ular addresses of the evening took the
nature of three reports from repre
sentatives who attended the world's
missionary conference held in Edin
burg, Scotland, lh June of this year.
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. During this great meeting
these men had seen great visions and
each put before the audience In his
own way what impressed him most.
All was Intensely interesting and It
seemed that all Vere carried with
them to Edlnburg Itself by these viv
id reports of what both Hon. Wm.
Jennings Bryan and Hon. Seth Low,
who were delegates, said was the
greatest meeting of any kind that has
ever been held In the history of the
world, where every nation under
heaven was represented by the flow
er of Its men and every protestant
Christian denomination was repre
sented and worked In unison and har
mony on thg great problems confront
Inghe Christian church In the evan
gelization of the world.
This great meeting was held In the
bounds of the British kingdom and to
show what the king thought of It,
here Is the message verbatim that was
sent to the conference and presented
on June 14, 8 p. m., by Lord Balfour
of Burleigh, who was presiding over
the meeting that evening: "His ma
jesty, the king, was graciously pleas

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:

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

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. Colonel

Ijarge Street Meeting.
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
