All the propositions of the above let

raven and the members of the commit
tee at p. m. Wednesday. The reply
to these conditions was as follows:
1. That it was impossible at so short
a notice to postpone the race fixed for
Thursday, September IL.
2. That the races would not be
started until clear space for maneuy-
eriug was secnred.
8. That the committee could not as
sumo the responsibility of agreeing to
declare the race void if either vessel suf-
fered from the accompanying steam
ers.
The committee regretted that they
were unable to send an answer that
morning. AS, however. their reply
would have been the same as that con-

fact of no answer having been made is
unimportant.

held at the Peoples Institute, to
protest against Sunday saloons and
Sunday baseball. The meeting
was under the auspices Of the In

gave scriptural reasons why Sun
day traffic and Sunday amuse-
ments should be forbidden.

told that all the professional play
ers, except one, were opposed to
Sunday games. Rev. Thomas E.

Halstead After a Newspaper

WASHINGTON, d. c., May c.
Murat Halstead is understood to
be negotiating for a Washington
newspaper. A couple of years ago,
upon the introduction OF the type
setting machines, the Topographic
cal union, with the backing OF 9th
er labor organizations in the Dis
trict Of Columbia, started daily
newspaper. When the Associated
Press and the United Press parted
company, the Times obtained an
Associated Press franchise. When
the printers found the burden OF a
daily paper too heavy to carry,
they unlOaded upon Congress man
Conn, OF Indiana, a wealthy manu-
facturer of wind Instruments. Mr..
Conn has spent some money, and
has given the paper considerable
standing. This is the property for
which Mr.. Halstead is said to be
bargaining.

WASHINGTON, May 6.-SenatOr
Jones, OF Arkansas, is among those
who believe in the International
monetary conference, which will
be held during the present year to
consider the relationship Of silver
to gold as a money metal. He is
one OF the members on the part Of
the Senate who will attend the
conference in case one is called. He
said in discussing the probabilities,
that while Germany had not to his
knowledge issued an executive call
for the conference, the action OF the
Reichstag has been accepted as
official by the governments Of the
United States, France and Great
Britain; hence he believed the in
vitation should come in due form
later, if it had not already been
sent out. He thought the confer
ence would be called to meet not
earlier than October, possibly later.

Inc Pass Question.

NEW YORK, May 6.-District At
tOrney MacFarlane, in the Hun
tington case, read the section OF
the interstate commerce law. He
exhibited the pass and the affidavit
showing how it was obtained. Mr.,
Coudert, in opening for the de-
PENDANT, Contended that the giving
of a pass was not a violation Of the
interstate law. Even if it were, it
could only be made a crime, he
thought, if the giving OF the pass
was followed by its use. In this
case, he argued, there was no evil
dence to show that the pass was
used at all. Mr.. Coudert claimed
the interstate commerce act was
not an American measure, but an
exact copy Of the English act. Such
being the case, he held the ruling
Of the board could not receive con-
sideration, because passes are not
illegal there.
"Why, take Mr.. Depew," he add
ed, she gives passes, and lots OF
them. In discussing this very case,
he said he would always give them
to men who had their legs cut off,
or whom he believed to be deserv-
ing. They might arrest me if they
liked Mr.. Depew said, but would
expect the jury to jump out Of the
box and lick the man who tried to
make a crime out of such an az
