Dr. Greer and Rev. Dr. Hunt- ington. Banker Charles Thomas of Phila- delphia, a partner of Morgan, sat with the Pennsylvania delegation, close to the seats of the New Yorkers. The entire lower floor of the church was laid out for the deputies and those in the rear of the edifice will be allowed to-day to occupy the galleries, owing to the poor acoustic properties of the church. As soon as the proceedings began yesterday the deputies in the rear of the buiflding complained that they could not hear the speakers in front of the building or those who were on the platform. When Rev. Dr. Hutchins called the meeting to order he did so in the follow- | ing words: | Members of the House of Deputies will please | come to order. The secretary will now call the | ol of tre ceputtes. | Assistant secretaries | stice of Philadelphia, Rev. Edward | Worthington of Cleveland, Ohio; Rev. | Carroll M. Davis of St. Louls, Mo., and Willlam C. Prout of Herkimer, New York, had prepared the list of the clerl- cal and lay members of the house and they were called over by the Rev. Dr. Hutchins. As the names were called each member answered and at the end of half an hour it was announced by the secretary that 350 deputies were. present. Secretary Hutchins then said: A majority of the house being present, nom- inations for the election of a presiding officer will now be in order, according to the rules of the house. It is understood that there will be | no nominating speeches. DR. GREER NOMINATES REV. DR. HUNTINGTON Rector of Trinity Church, New York, Is Named for Chairman, but Gracefully Withdraws. . Dr. Greer of New York nominated the Rev. Dr. Huntington of Trinity Church, New York City, in the following words: 1 presume under the ruling of the secretary it is not in order for me to say anything at | all, except perhaps to venture to record to this { holy body the absence of him who for five suc- cessive terms has presided with so much grace, courtesy, dignity and impartiality over the de- liberations of this house. If he were here now I.am sure he would be re-elected by a unani- mous vote. { In his absence New York has the name of another distinguished son of the church to pre- sent who has all the natural requirements for the office.

EPISCOPALIAN CHURCHMEN IN CONVENTION make clear to the minds of those In the body who desire my selection, I must unreservedly withdraw my name from the list of nomina- ons. It was finerax]y understood that the Rev. Dr. Huntington would decline the nomination, as he is considered one of the great debaters of the House of Deputies and has always taken a most active part in all the debates of the conventions he has attended in the past. The secretary then appointed four tellers to keep tally on the ballots, the tellers ap- pointed being the Rev. Drs. Worthington of Ohio, Davis of Missourl, Lewis of Pennsylvania and Dorrence of Rhode Island. The deputies cast their ballots by States, the assistant secretaries calling the names of the States and various dele- gations, Considerable time was consumed in the casting of the ballots and the counting by the tellers and the result was announced by Dr. Hutchins as follows Rev. Dr. Lindsay . 234 Rev. Dr. Mann 55 Rev. Dr. Daven 3 Rev. Dr. Alsop 25 Rev. Dr. Huntington 1 Total vote .. cenenes 850 Much satisfaction was election of Dr. Lindsay, and the deputies laughed when the vote of one for Dr. Huntington was announced. PRESIDING OFFICER VOICES HIS THANKS expressed at the Expresses His Appreciation to the House of Deputies for Con- ferring the Honor. The nele elected presiding officer was called to the chair and in accepting the honored office”sald: Gentlemen of the House of Clerical and Lay Deputies: I have reached that time of life when a man's most precious possession is the affection and the confidence of his friends. And to have the friends of my boyhood, with whom 1 attended college, the friends of my later life, who, when I went to Massachusetts & stranger, took me into their hearts and their homes, nominate me for this position and elect me, without one thought or one word In regard to ‘it by myself, is an honor that appeals to the best that is in me. And I am not ashamed to say that I never was prouder in my life than when it was announced that I had been elected president of this assembly. I say it s an honor that any one may appre- clate, when we consider the personnel of this house, with the constituencies from which its members come, the great church that they represent, the splendid questions that they must consider and decide; surely the man whom such a house elects as its president has a right to feel that he has been honored indeed. And then, when we remember the man who has filled this chair during five successive conven- tions, a man of such distinguished presence, of such exquisite dignity, of such gracious ccurtesy, of such pleasing humor, of such ad- mirable 'fairness, of such mature judgment— when we think of that ldeal president, and then I remember that I am to take his seat, unworthy as I am, I appreclate yet more highly the honor you have conferred upon me. But, gentlemen, let me say frankly, it is not the honor that 'you have given me that I chiefly feel; it is the responsibility and the difficulties of this high office. Therefore, as you well know that parliamentary law is not an exact science that any man can learn and remember and apply easily, but is rather like the bark of the growing tree that must adapt itself as the tree advances from day to day and year to year, and you and I here can make precedents for ourselves, and we have made precedents—therefore, 1 say, we will use every moment as best we may, and do quickly and without any fear those things that ought to be done, applying our common gense to the various exigencies of legislation and so tran- sact the business committed to us by this church. Yet there are considerations that give me a cheerful courage when 1 remember the compo- sition of this house, as made up of Christian gentlemen from.every part of the United States, each one coming from some position of influ® ence, perhaps, in the different States or dio- ceses from which they severally come. When I remember that I feel perfectly certain that they need little guidance from me, and much further am I assured that their native courtesy will always make it impossible for them to vio- late any of the amenities of life, and make it certain that they will deport themselves in this place just as Christian gentlemen qught always to_do. Then, further, when I remember again that this is not a collection of self-seeking politi- cians, but an assemblage of churchmen, every one loyal to his church, having come here, not for his personal advancement or for the ad- vancement of any party with which he may be affiliated, but in simple, supreme devotion to that great church which we love and honor, that every one intends to sink every personal consideration in the great aim of advancing this church, I feel certain that our delibera- tions will move on smoothly and rapidly. Finally, there are some thoughts that ought to be inspiring to us. We have come for the first time to this unique city, fresh and splen- did in its history and noble in its opportunities and its outlook. We are standing here near the very spot where first the English service was celebrated upon this continent of America, and we ought to catch the spirit of this new civilization and feel deeply desirous to do some- thing to contribute to the spiritual advancement of this great community. We have just crossed the American continent. We have seen many of its magnificent cities, its great spaces of country unoccupied by our church, and these spaces little influenced, 1 am sorry to say, in many Instances by the authority of this church. We want to see this church, by its presence and power, filling these cities ‘and these spaces, and making them powers for good in the moral and religious regeneration of this country. We are standing, many of us, upon the shores of the Pacific Ocean for the first time. We feel its waters rolling from California to far Cathay ‘and remember the mew opportunities that are opening to us, not only as American citizens, but as American churchmen. And we are inspired with a deep desire to do what we can in these directio We are not only to gird ourseives to meet the great problems of this tontinent, but to do the Master's work in_these distant lands. Gentlemen, brethren, have we not something to do in this convention of 1901, this first con- vention of the new century? Let us then, 1 beseech you, for I speak to you as my breth- ren and my'friends, begin to-day a simple and businesslike session, using the time, short or long, with good common sense, with genuine devotion and trying to make the best of our time, in devising schemes and passing laws which, like those passed by-our fathers and which' have come down to us through the cen- tury, shall reach into the coming century, praying God that he may make us of one mind in this house and may cause a right judg- ment to be exercised in all things that we shall do to set forward the safety, honor and welfare of our church. % The Rev. Dr. Beatty of Kansas then placed the name of the Rev. Dr. Hutch- ins in nomination for tne office of secre- tary of the house, stating that he had performed a similar office at the last two conventions of the church. M. Fairbanks, representing the Florida delegation, and Major Hooper for the California deputies heartily seconded the nomination, and the assistant secretary, the Rev. Dr. Anstice, was authorized to cast the ballot of the house for the election of Dr. Hutchins, A unanimous affirmative reply from the entire house showed the popularity of Dr. Hutchins. At this point a message was presented from the house of Bishops by its secre- tary, the Rev. Dr. Hart, announcing that it had convened and eiected the Bishop of Kentucky as chairman and Dr. Hart as secretary and that it was ready to proceed to_business. Deputy Fairbanks of Florida moved that a committee be appointed to inform the House of Bishops that the organiza- tion of the lower house had been perfect- ed and that it was alsc ready to proceed with its work. The presiding officer then appointed the Rev. Dr. Foule of San Francisco and Deputy Fairbanks of Florida_to convey the message to the House of Bishops. The Rev. Dr. Huntington of New York presented a resolution that the reports of the committee on constitutional amendments be recelved this morning, but it was voted down by the acceptance of a substitute offered by the Rev. Dr. Fulton of Pennsylvania providing that the committee on rules and order, when it should be appointed, be requestéd to con- sider and report at its earliest conve- nience the more important matters of business now awaiting action at the hands of the house, and report also the order in which such matters might be most conveniently disposed of by the or- ganization. Considerable discussion then followed as to the adoption of a resolution to fix the hour at which the house should convene each morning. Some of the deputies fa- vored meeting at 9 a. m., while others desired that Lhe hour of 10 be selected. A compromise was finally effected, and the time for meeting each morning will be 9:30. The house will sit each day from that hour until 1 p. m. and adjourn for two hours. The afternoon sessions will be from 3 p. m. until 5 p. m. ‘With the’ adoption of the resolution fix- ing the daily hour of meeting the conven- tion adjourned until this morning.

This letter will also be found in another column gf the paper. The House of Bishops having completed organization, the secretary was instructed to notify the House of Deputles of that fact. Dr. Hart conveyed the message, which was read to the assemblage. A resolution was also adopted that both houses appoint a joint committee to agree on the order of business to be followed during their sessions.

EPISCOPAL CH RCH CONVENTION Continued From Page Five. 9:30 itudes and whose charges are poor in this world’s goods. There were also present prelates from far off countries, two rep- resenting the great established Church of England and two American dignitaries raised from the ranks of the colored man. Bankers, lawyers, business men of all callings, standing at the head of their own home communities, were present in the capacity of lay deputies. Ministers who preside over congregations worship- ing in costly edifices and others who meet in humble houses of prayer met on the floor of Trinity Church, not for self-ad- vancement, but for the cause of their church at large. Hundreds of the gentle sex took part in the convention opening. They were pres- ent as workers in the cause of the Epis- copal church, and have devoted their lives to the care of ihe mission homes and hos- pitals. . Crowds Fill Trinity Church, Trinity Church was far too small to ac- commodate all who desired to be present at the solemn opening services. The ritual was a most impressive ‘one, and the ser- mon, preached by the venerable Bishop Morris of Oregon, was listened to with rapt attention. At the conclusion of the morning ser- vice the Bishops and deputies dispersed, to meet again jn the afternoon, when the work of the convention began. The house of Bishops met in executive session, while the house of deputies, consisting of cler- jcal and lay members, convened in public session. The work of the convention will last for nineteen days, and in that time some of the most vital questions and subjects con- nected with the Episcopal church will be discussed and action taken on them. e e S S e e ] ) SOLEMN SERVICE INTRINITY CHURCH et Continued From Page Four. ing that you have come together here in this far-oft part of our country. It is the final ®olject and end of everything that you say and do. 1t happens by an accident of years that he who comes to be your preacher on this the first occasion of your meeting on these distant shores of the Pacific is himself a resident of this land. It {s well known to all persons fa- millar with the early history of the-United States that for long years the Western part was little cared for and thought of beyond its being a haven for the savage and a profit- able hunting ground for the fur trader and his employes. President Roosevelt, Daniel Webster and Henry Clay, among many others, have contributed to the literature on this point. The two latter iIn their speeches in Congress told the people what a desert land this Western country was and how profitless to the purposes of civilization. The purchase of Alaska was ridiculed. It was a most unpopular measure; referred to as an unprofitable plece of speculation. 1t is of this country, Alaska, that its Gov- ernor, Brady, says that it has the greatest latent riches of any State in the Union. Of the slow progress of the church westward, it was said in 1866 by Bishop Stevens: ‘‘How much have we lost by the delay? While we have hesitated others have pushed forward. The children of our church have gone hungry while we have held back.” Our people in the East lack knowledge of the chances for the growth of the church here, The whole Western country north of California is a terra incognita to the people of the East. This Northwestern corner of our country is usually regarded as a very slow and back- ward country. I was ordained just at the time this country was acquired by the United States. Forty-five years ago there was not a white settler in this Northwest country. The hostile Indian had driven all the white settlers out. Is it any wonder that the progress of the church in this district has been slow? Oh, blessed master, when will the time come when thy children will lavish their strength and money as the children of the world have done to gather in their children, to bring thy hosts to the kingdom of heaven? Alaska needs ten more ordained missions; Olympia_six, Boise seven, California six. In the whole eastern part of Oregon, twice the size of the State of Maine, we have but six clergymen. There are hundreds of square miles where our Savior is a8 unknown as in_China. It is a crying shame. The spiritual condition of_these people s fearful. We must launch our nets and gather them in at the command of our master. These frivolous questions of copes, miters, candles and incense are mere trifles when compared to the mighty question I speak about. We should not waste time on these trifles and forget this mighty question. Let us not forget the mill- ions to whom we were commanded to carry the gospel of our Lord. Holy Communion Service.

The oly communion was then given by Bish- op Tuttle of Missouri, assisted by the Bishops who stood within the chancel rail. All the Bishops and the clerical and lay deputies partook of the consecrated bread and wine, while stillness prevailed in every portion’ of the church. At the close of the communion service the choir and congregation sang the an- clent chant “Gloria in Excelsis,” and the procession of Bishops was again formed and left the church, the senior Bishops walking ahead. The choir sang hymn 491, “The Church’s One Foundation is Jesus Christ, Our Lord,” as the recessional, and the distinguished gathering dispersed. @ il @ HOTELS EXCLUDE HEARST'S PAPERS Los Angeles Hostelries Taboo Anarchistic Press. Special Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, Oct. z—The leading three hotels in this city have barred the Examiner from their premises. To-day’s Los Angeles Times says: “The abomination of the Examiner has reached such a stage in this city that the proprietors of the Van Nuys, Westmin- ster and Hollenbeck hotels have excluded the assassin-breeding sheet from their lews stands. They are also taking every step possible to avoid the inauguration of a reign of dissatisfaction among hotel help here, similar to that ‘which the Ex- aminer preached so successfully in the north. ‘‘Some of the other news stands in the city have cut down their Examiner orders one-half.” PHOENIX, Ariz.,, Oct. 2—At the an- nual meeting of the Maricopa Club to- night a petition of members to the poard of directors was presented, liberally signed, askffig that the directors exclide from the tables of the club the San Fran- cisco Examiner, and giving as a reason that it represents the worst type of yel- low journalism and is inimical to good soclety and good government. The time has arrived for the renewal of club sub- scriptions and the question was brought before the meeting not for fina: action, as that rests with the directors, but for the purpose of getting an expression of opin- ion from the members in general. The ratification of the petition was voted for amkcarrled by a large majority. THRe Maricopa Club is the most preten- tious social organization in the city and its membership roll contains the namcs of nearly all the leading business mesn and many well known officials. The Hearst papers were all included in the category, but the Examiner was made the object of the movement, as the others are not taken by the club. YOUNG WIFE MISSING; HUSBAND FOUND DEAD San Diego Officials Investigating Mysterious Demise of Charles H. Currier. SAN DIEGO, Oct. 2—The police are in- vestigating the death of Charles H. Cur- rier, which occurred under circumstances thdt are very peculiar. Currier kept a cigar store at 1534 H street. Less than a month ago he married Mrs. Mattie Fur- guson, who had arrived in this city from Colorado Springs, with her three children She came a few days before the ceremony. After the wedding Currier and his wife and children occupled rooms in the rear of the cigar store. The last seen of him alive was on Monday night. Early yesterday morning an acquaintance of the family was sur- prised to see €he cigar store open. Soon afterward an express wagon called and took three trunks and the children to the Santa, Fe_depot, where they were joined by Mrs. Currier and the entire party took the train for Los Angeles. Later the store was closed. To-day J. Price, the owner of the place, called; and, finding it closed proceeded to investigate. He summoned Officer Cooley and they looked through the window into Currier’s sleeping room and saw him ly- ing dead on the bed. An examination showed no marks of violence. The Coro- ner proposes to have an fnquest, and as ‘a preliminary an autopsy was held. The | physicians who performed it say that they found all the organs healthy. They dis- covered four marks such as would have been made by a hypodermic syringe. They declined_to state their views as to what caused death until they testify at the in- quest. Currier was about 57 and his wife 27 years of age. TR ST New Ordnance Officer Coming. WASHINGTON, Oct. 2—Lieutenant Colonel John M.
