reply to a reporters question as to
how the trouble originated and ter
minated, Mr. Leeds said: "There was
very little to tell. did honestly what
others were doing dishonesty and have
suffered. had made several complaints
to the chairman OF the Western Traffic
association about the unfair acts of COM
petitorS, and got no satisfaction. Then
L determined to bring chairman, associ-
alton and all into court, and | cut the
rate of sugar for that purpose. / ad-
mitted that in the meeting of the advis-
ory board at New York. But reckoned
without my host, for the board decided
to consider my case and not take up the
cause of the rate cutting. 1t is true
that L cut the rate on my own response
bllity and without consultation. AS |
have stated, merely did openly what
others were doing secretly, and [ must
take my medicine now that the board
has decided against me. l have no one
to blame for what has happened. Mr..
Gould and the other officials of the Mis-
souri, Pacific did all they could for me
under the circumstances. l cannot cen
sure any OF my employers in the least"
:" Mr.. Leeds, is there any truth in the
statement that you are to be cared for
by the Missouri Pacific?'
None in the least; that is all bosh.

Didn't "oneor" the Preacher.

A clergyman we'll known to Buffalo peo-

forgot to put any pegs in his mind on
which to'hang the names of acquaintance.
He can remember faces, but not names.
He became pastor of large church few
months ago, and after discharging his
duties long enough to know his sheep by
sight, he was visited one evening by a lady
whom he knew we'll, but whose name he
could net, for the life of him, recall. Wish
ing to be reminded of it without exposing
his ignorance, he said;
LET me see, ah-how do you spell your
name?"
To which she replied, with reproachful
dignity:

but he rallied quickly and escaped rebuke
by reioining:

! Strong Anti Catholic Resolutions Adopt
ed at the Joliet Conference.
JOLIET, ILL.,, Sept. 29.-The Rock
River conference of the Methodist Epis-
copal church, composing the northern
portion of Illinois, including Chicago,
adopted lengthy report today on the
public school question, declaring that
the public schools are the conservators
and the safeguards of the nation; that
no system of parochial or church schools
can meet the demands of general public
school instruction.
Continuing, the report says: "The
constant attacks Of the Roman Catholic
hierarchy was slowly but surely array
ing an un-American antagonism against
the most cherished institution OF our
common country
Reference is made to the utterances
of the Pope; to the various Catholic
meetings. and particularly to the recent
German Catholic convention at Buffalo,
Which," says the report, announces
its purpuse to secure home rule in all
matters of education of the children of
the nation. We stop not now to
speak of Other features of its Cahensley
plans for the disintegration of our ma
tional unity in language and character.
We know well what its demands for
home rule in educational matters
MEANS" .at 'ltes
The. report emphatically declares for
American home rule in matters of edu-
cation and sustaining our public school
system; that home rule forbids the in
reference of any foreign pope, priest or
potentate; forbids ecclesiastical, sectari-
or or sectional interference or appropri
alton of public money for schools con-
trolled Tor ecclesiastical or sectorian
purposes; declares that the conference
will seek to secure such enactments by
constitutional and legislative provisions
as shall strengthen the entire public
school system.
The conference favored the closing of
the worlds fair Sundays, and adopted
report on the liquor question, regret
ting, among other things, the action of
the United States senate in refusing to
| cooperate with the nations of Europe
in stopping the liquor traffic in Africa,
and declaring that the existing political
parties are unworthy of the support OF
Christian people.
A paragraph was included deprecat-
ing the spectacle of the president of the
United States lately crossing the conti-
nent with chest stocked with liquors,
as reported in the newspapers, but the
Rev. Frank Bristol declared it shame
to believe i'll of the president simply
because OF newspaper story, end the
paragraph was eXpunged,
