Dr. j. ii. Larry, pastor OF the Free Con

dence and expressed himself as gratified
ut the result of last nigdt's III eting.
1T Is early in the day." said DIR. Larry,
''to say precisely what has been accom-
plished. The meeting was held under as
favorable auspices as could bs expected,
aud when tue meeting next "Wednesday
night takes place we hope to render good
report as to just what the plan for future
work will be. Still it will take a long
time to accomplish work of such mag
nitude as we have undertaken. We have
got to combat an evil that is as old as the
human race itself, and it cannot be ex-
pected that the work Of transformation
can be accomplished in day. We want
an earnest, hear y cooperation on the
part of the public. Without that the
clergy eau accomplish nothing.
I'VE do not want or expect the affair
to assume a political aspect. We want
il to be distinctively movement by the
people in the interest of the people and
we, as ministers of the gospel, will dO
everything in our power TO bring about
the good result. OF course there mas been
considerable alteration In the plan
as first proposed and that must be ex-
pecJed. The meeting of last evening was
a response TO call TO confer; TO look

done aud lay our plans for the best way

there should be different opiuions on the

accomplished"

Spirit and Implies Disapprovai OF the
Present Agitation - Ministers Well
Pleased-what President spicer Says.

In order to get an idea of the sentiment
after the meeting at the Y. M. c. A. last
evening to take action in regard to the
suppression Of vice, NEWS reporter
called on some Of the interested parties
to-day. with the following result:
Chief of Police Child. when seen this
morning, stated that in his opinion the
Parkhurst methods of suppressing vice
were not effective. Said he: "The
greater the notoriety given these evils
the greater the spread. liz the curiosity
of the young people is aroused IT must be
satisfied, and nothing short OF personal
experience will do for them"
The Official said further that he did not
think the movement was supported by
the Young Mems Christian Association,
but had been inaugurated bv Mr.. Conant
thus far. "Well directed efforts to pro
mote morality" said he, twill always re-
ceive my support"
Continuing, the chief stated an illustra.

What DIR. King Says,

Dr. G. w. King, pastor of the Broad
way Methodist Church, is highly graft
fed with the resnlt of the conference last
night. In speaking to NEWS representa-
tive this morning DIR. King expressed him
self in highly optimistic view. I've do
not expect to accomplish everything, but
we do hope to secure an enforcement OF
law and order, and / earnestly believe
that we will bring about that result. IL
is not our intention, AS the meeting last
night plainly indicated, to formulate
new laws for the attainment of law and
order. We have plenty of reg
ulations on our statute books to make
model community IL only the people
wodld see to il that the law is enforced.
Nor is lie a work that we caa accomplish
without vast labor and an expenditure of
enthusiasm and agitation such as the city
has never vet seen. The people
should thoroughly familiarize themselves
with the city regulations governing tue
commission of crime, aud then see to IL
that those laws are enforced. We have
on our statute books laws for the SUP
preston of gambling. prostitution and
obscenity, aud we also have an
excise law. Ii these were enforced we
would have model city. But
public sentiment is lax, the police have
relapsed into "A state of semi-tolerance
aud it is to restore things TO their nor
NAL condition the ministers have taken
| up this question. We do not expect to
| accomplish anything unless we keep the
| agitation up. OF course. when the ques-
| ton is suddenly and violently stirred the
| law will be enforced for the time being.
but the revival will soon subside unless
| the question is kept constantly before
| the people. We have plenty OF gool
people VINO are interested in the work OF
reform, the majority OF the city may
fairly say, and 10 them we look for sup
port and cooperation in the matter OF re
| deemtng the morals OF the city,"
President william A. spicer Talks.

His Holiness Is Said to Be Irritated at
Attacks on Mgr. satolli.
ROME, Dec. l5-Much irritation exists
at the Vatican on account of the attacks
made by certain American Catholic jour
nails on the person and the mission of
Mgr. Satolli.
1t is learned that as regards the OPP
position made to tie policy of the Pope,
the Vatican may cause an inquiry TO be
made into its origin.
The Holy Father is desirous that his
agents shalt b. respected and that his
views of pacification in the United states
shall be followed. Ii there be any need
of it the Pope will in this instance also
take severe measures with those who op
pose his intervention.
IL is believed here that tue Vatican
knows whence the hostile American
criticisms proceed.
Absurd rumors are again spread abroad
about the Pops being i'll. DIR. Ceccarllla,

patient is in good health, free from any

the effect OF some sJrong and sudden emo
tiou, but that even against this eventu-
ality the Pope's elastic temperament Is
a safeguard.
