ESHER AND ANTi-ESHER.
Two Sermons Going on in the Same
Church the Same Day.

CHICAGO, April PA dispatch from Naper-
vile, H., says: The German and English
branches of the Evangelical Church located
here are in a dilemma. The two conferences
recently held in Chicago both sent a
minister to each church. and yester-
day each minister attempted to perform
his duty. In the German church the minister
of the anti-Esher faction, the Rev. Mr. Fry,
obtained possession of the pulpit and had COM
menced to preach. when the minister of the
Esher conference. Rev. Mr. Schmootz marched
up the aisle and exclaimed: In the name of
the Illinois conference | demand possession OF
this pulpit
Presiding Elder Byers arose and said that
there was but one Illinois conference and that
the pulpit was then III possession OF the minis
ter sent by that conference. The Rev. SchmootZ
then called upon all who were loyal 20 the nli-
nois conference to follow him. And followed
by about one-third OF the congregation he pro-
ceeded TO the Sunday school room in the base
ment, where he delivered his sermon. while
the Rev. MIR. Fry preached in the church above.
The English branch of the church occupies
the Northwestern College Chapel, but the
trustees of the college refused to allow any
one but the representative of the Esher con-
ference to preach in the chapel, and the anti
Esher men held service in a hall. Two-thirds
of the church are anti-Esher men.

WAR THREATENED.
Crete May Begin Hostilities Today
Against Turkey.

LONDON. April 21.-Ihere is every reason tn
believe that the first shot Of a new civil war
viii be fired in Crete today at Ambellos, where
all the preparations for such an event have
been made. The Cretans are being deliberately
driven TO desperation by the Turks with view
to undoing the freedom gained in fifty years OF
struggling, and to restoring the Turkish rulo
OF the last century. The Turks had tho
advantage OF being able at the beginning OF
the last years disturbances TO put the Cretans
IN the wrong. and at the same time 20 gain a
military hold upon the island. The
powers are embarrassed - first, because
They cannot contest the right of the
turkish government 10 rcpress what Was
plausIbly represented an Insurrection. and
secondly, because strong pressure on Turkey
might uphold the existing combinations. The
Turks have before appealed TO Russia for help
and might 10 again. The powers ars
rendered even more cauiions by thelr
Own present grouping into two camps,
ana by the dread of precIpitating a conflict be-
tween them. But tins station involves the
greatest risk. The Turks will probably be un-
able 10 conquer the Cretans. la the struggle
OF lsG6-S Turkey spent sj0OOO. 600 and Lost
$1,000 men without succeeding. II a similar
effort shouldbe again required Turkey can make
II only upon condition that she has no distrac-
uous elsewhere.

THE WESTERN UNIONS CLAIM.
The Government Indebted to IL for
Nearly Year of Telegraph Service.

At the end of next June the government will
be indebted to the Western Union Telegraph
Company for an entire year of telegraph SER
wee. The telegraph company has refused to
accept the rate fixed by Postmaster General
Wanamaker and the latter has declined
to make any further modification. Mr..
Nanamakers rate is 10 cents for ten
words for distances of 300 miles
and less, and proportionate increase for
greater distances. The government bust
ness done by the telegraph company is said to
amonnt to $4,000 annually The company
is still continuing to take all government mes
sages, but ever since last June they have re-
fused to receive any pay on the basis of the
new rates. 1t is said that tine com
pany proposes to institute suit
to determine the legal questions
involved. 1t Is denied that the government
has right to fix a rate which is not inst re-
muneraton for the services rendered. and il is
claimed that the proposed rate is Of this char
acter. The company will. therefore. refuse to
accept any money for telegraph service until
the courts have rendered a decision. No suit
however, has as yet been instituted. and gov
erninent officials are wondering when the tele-
graph company proposes TO take action

SECRETARY RUSK'S ADVICE.
He Thinks He Can Tell What is the
Matter With the Farmers.

Washington special to one of the New York
papers today says Secretary Rusk is about to
issue an address to the farmers of the country
explaining how the depression in agriculture
can be remedied. He attributes the present
state OF affairs in part to carelessness in cnl-
ture, and says that in these days of worldwide
competition successful farmer must be as well
trained and careful in business as the store
keeper, and his equal in intelligence and gen.
eral education.
The Secretary also thinks that the farmer
does not study the reports as carefully as he
should and recommends that he avail himself
OF the Information supplied by the Agricul-
tural Department. He thinks that farmers
should not acquire more land than they can
prohtably cultivate. After touching upon the
questions of farm mortgages, transportation.
the mlddleman, gambling in farm products
ana combinations to control the market the
Secretary makes long argument in favor of
hlgher duties on farm products. He gives ia
Dies to show that our imports of agricultural
products amount to S266, 273, T3S. the greater
part OF which, probably S25000O, 600. might
pe' with proper encouragement, produced on
our own soil He thinks that the problem can
De solved by the imposition of high rates of
uuty on agricultural products

Tried to Whip His Boy to Death.

CHICAGO, April 2L-Nathan Doll, German
shoemaker, sixty years old, tried to beat his
eleven-year-old son William to death last night.
When the officers entered the place they dis
covered the boy unconscious upon the floor
and mouth, and ms buck. sides. arms and
limbs were one mass of black and blue bruises.
He was placed III the patrol wagon and con-
veyed to the county hospital The old man was in,
beastly state OF intoxication, and il was
learned from the neighbors that he made a
habit of beating the boy when drunk. Ii was
9oclock when neigh5ors heard the poor lad :
cries. They called the police, who arrested
Doll. The old mans wife was forced to leave
him three years ago on account of his brutal
ity, and shortly afterward his daughter and
one son also left.

TO BEAT THE USURERS
Proposed Combination of Government
Employees Who Borrow Money Monthly.

A new kind of combination among govern
ment employees is proposed. 1t is designed to
get the best of the men who are known as ..ten
percenters." The latter are SAID to be a class
OF men who accommodate clerks and other
government employees with small loans of
money and for this accommodation they exact
III some cases, the consideration Of
10 per cent a month on the total
amount of the loan. The borrowers have re-
solved to combine and by concentrating the
business they expect to get lower rates. a
STAR reporter told the other day by an
employe OF one of the departments that it was
the intention to organize an association COM
prised entirely of those who were in the habit
OF borrowing money. An arrangement would
then be made with man of means who would
supply the money. At first it was thought
that the rate would be about ten per cent a
month, but as the association grew in financial
favor it was expected that the rate of interest
would be reduced. 1t would then be possible
not only to obtain money readily but
to get it cheaper. 1t used to
be the custom in some of the
departments to collect these debts
from the employees and pay the money
over to the money lender. But finally some
head of department decided that it was not
the business of the government to collect
private debts, and in short time this doctrine
came to be generally accepted in government
official circles
