Several States.

NEW Yonk. Nov. 1.-THE second con-
ference of the board of commissioners ap-
pointed by the several states to bring about,
by voluntary state action, greater unani-
nifty in the statute laws prevailing through
out the several states and territories, has
commenced at the rooms of
the Bar Association on West
Twenty -ninth street. A law was passed in
this state in 1883, creating an expert COM
mission of three to consider this subject
and advise with similar commissions that
might be appointed in other states. Massa-
chusetts, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Della
ware, New Jersey and Georgia were repre-
sented at the first conference, held in Sara

At the Saratoga conference sub-eom-
mittees were appointed TO consider and re-
port upon the advisabIliiy of presenting to
the various state Legislatures acts to pro-
mote uniformity in state laws that now con-
fict. These reports are now being con-
sidered. The commissioners will probably
conclude their lahors today.

the action is brought or shall have been do
miciIed there at the time the cause of action
arose or unless the defendant shall have

THE WHITTIER HOMESTEAD


HsvFRHILL, Mass, Nov. l1.--Jamcs ii.
Carleton, one of Flaverhill's wealthy citi-
zens, has purchased portion of the Whit
tier homestead in East Parish. The pur
chase includes the house and land around
it, also the barn and other buildings on the
opposite side of the road and several acres
of land besides, from the owner, George
Elliott.
The farm is large and the larger portion
is still retained by Mr.. Elliott. The farm
was sold to the late James Chase by the
Whittier family about 1887, and later was
purchased by Samuel G.. Elliott and by
him sold TO his brother, George.
1t is understood that Mr.. Carleton will
present the homestea ! to the city of Hayer-
hill, with such condition as will cause i
to remain memorial of John Greenleaf
Whittier forever.
About one year ago an unsuccessful
effor was made to purchase the place in the
interest of the Whittier Club, with view
to its being held as a memorial. M.
Whittier was pleased with the idea and re-
marked that il must be done soon if at all
in his day. The wish of the friends of the
poet will now be gratifiea in the establish
ment of perpetual memorial of him.

came dissipated and reckless, and his de-
mands for money were regular and persis-
tent His opportunities at length became
unbearable, and Prince Nicholas stopped
his supplies. This was resented by the
young man, and he made every endcavor

and lampooned him and abused him openly
in the public bazars.
Numerous family documents and stirical
poems relating TO the Prince, written by

Many sensational rumors are afloat in re-
gard to the disclosures that have been made,
or are to be made, in connection with the
case and the part Prince Nicholas played
therein.

Or. SMITHS TRIAL.
The Prosecution Has Hard Work 10 Stick IA
Their Text.

CIxcINNArI, Nov. 1I.--At the session OF
the Cincinnati Presbytery this morning in
the trial of Rev. Henry ?. Smith, Rev. T.
q. Love began his part of the argument on
behalf of the prosecuting committee. II
was necessarily going over of the same
tine of argument pursued by his predecessor,
Rev. McKibben and to a great extent, the
amplification of the effort to sustain the
sutiiciency of the indictment proposed by
the committee.
He stepped aside in the argument at one
time to say that Prof. Smith, under the de-
mands of Christian honor. ought to leave
the presbytery in the church. He defined
Christian honor as business honor. He
charged Prof. Smith with teaching that II
minister may rightfully remain in the
church after he had violated his VOWS to
the church, several times during the latter
portion of his remarks.
Prof Smith objected to DIR. Lowe aban-
doning the question at issue, namely, the
sufiiciency of the Indictment, and
speaking on the question of the charges
themselves. DIR. Lowe had not finished his
argument at the noon recess.
DR.. loves agument occupied large
part of the afternoon session. DIR. Lowe
appealed to the authoritative declarations
of belief in the plenary inspiration of the
Scriptures. He was strong in the assump-
tion of the enormity of the offence of de-
parture from the faith or doctrines, as sub
scribed to by every minister upon taking
ordination vows.
He dwelt upon the necessity of preserv-
ing belief in the infallibility of the Bible
and said to teach that Bible historical writ
ing are so unreliable that the truth of the
history contained can only be discovered by
such investigation as is necessary to dis
cover the truth in histories by inspired men,
was to throw the whole Bible to the winds.
He also considered the charge that Prof
Smith denies, full inspiration by the
Holy Spirit, which Prof Smith construed
to mean that he had sinned against the
Holy Ghost.
Prof. Smith said 'If what is now
charged against me by the committee is to
be taken as true, it is the duty of the house
to declare me guilty, to depose me from
the ministry to excommunicate me from
the church. If the committee make these
charges why did they not put them in the
Indictment If the committee is right !
ought to be exeommunicated, and let me say
that will excommunicate large portion of
of the membership of the Presbyterian
church, including very many of its most
exemplary, faithful and pious ministers.
Did mistake the meaning of the com
mittee?"
DIR. McKibben answered that the COM
mittee had no thought of charging him with
sin against the church.
Prof. Smith said the whole tenor of argu-
ment this afternoon indicated that the com
mittee proposed to make him more guilty
than he was charged. Subordination or
hypocrisy was the best name he could sug-
gest for the offense the committee made in
one of its charges. The Presbytery adj
journed until Monday.

Turned Straight Democrat.

ToPEKA. Kan, Nov. l7.-Official returns
from Jerry Simpsons district give him
400 majority. Two years ago he was
elected by 1922. 1t is now believed that
he will not be candidate for Senator.
Leaders of the Fusion patty fear that q
new man would be defeated in that district
if his seat in Congress was vacant and a
special election held.
Mrs. Lease SAYS Jerry is a straight Dem
ocrat and is using the Peoples party to
further his own aims. At two Democratic
banque,s since the election Simpson has
appeared as an invited guest. and bis
speeches declared that the Democratic
party would now take the place of the
Peoples movement and carry on the re-
forms inaugurated by it. The People 5
party, he said. "have no further mission
as Il national organization.
Today he said he was in favor of a Dem
ocrat for Senator, ''because they played
fair with US this time, and we will need

YALE's GOOD POINTS.
Some Causes Which Make the New Haven
Men Formidable Players.

NEW YORK, Nov. l1.--An Eastern foot
ball authority says: "Yale's pre-emnence
in foot ball is due to n variety of causes.
New Haven men dearly love their college
and look upon the name Yale as almost sa-
cred. They go into game of foot ball as
though their very life depended upon the
result.
sThe New Haven men have also better
coachers than the other collegians. Year
after year the alumni of Yale come to New
Haven and devote all their time and labor
to the advantage of the Yale teams.
''No other college shows the dash and
vim in football contests as exhibited by
Yale. The New Haven men started the
game on Saturday with a rush. Scarcely
had the teams lined up when the wearers
of the blue dashed at Pennsylvania line
with rush that almost took the brea,I
away from the University lads. The result
showed in fact tliat they really were for =
time paralyzet by the terrific onslaught Of
the Yale players"

AN ALARMING CONDITION
OF Affairs in 4 North yassaIboro Family A.
ficted With Diphtheria.

NORM FAssaLBogo, Nov. lI.-(Spec-
ial. The condition of affairs as regards
diptheria in this village is quite alarming.
There are four children sick in the family
of Patrick Riley, two having previously
died as before reported. A strong desire
is expressed to have the family moved as
they live in small house in very un-
healthy location, the cellar being wet
and cold. The local board of health are in
communication with the State board in re-
gard to this. 1t seems pity to leave them
there until they all die as they undoubtedly
will and then there is the risk of moving
them as regards themselves and the people
at large. 1t is indeed knotty problem. A
great deal of excitement prevails, the peo-
pie being about evenly divided for and
against removal. Meanwhile the afflicted
family nave the prayers and the sympathy
of the whole village.

JUDGE sHIRAs' FIRST.
His Style Of Delivering an Opinion al Once
Commends Itself.

Ws-nISGro>, Nov. I7.-Instiee Shiras
delivered his first opinion since his Undue
ton to the bench Of the supreme court. It
was not case Of general interest, but the
clear manner IN which the opinion was
written attracted the attention Of the court
and of the lawyers in attendance. II was a
ease against railway company which had
come TO the court on an appeal, and the
Justice affirmed the decision of the lower
court. The opinion was read by the justice
in the plain and practical way which has
characterized all of his distinguished pre-
sentaiions in the local. state AMI national
courts, in the capacity Of an attorney, all
ostentatioB being carefully avoided, the
matter being put before court a. a plain
question of Law without flourish Of rhetoric.
1t was expected that the opinion in the
cause of the Monongshela Navigation Com
pany would have been handed down today.
but il was no. mentioned. It will probably
be known this week.
