GREEN'S CANDIDACY ENDORSED.
He Outlines His Policy at a Mass
Meeting of Republicans on
Bell Street.

At a mass meeting of Republicans of the
First ward last night at g14 Bell street the
candidacy of John ]. Green for mayor was
unanimously Endorsed.
Mr.. Green made a speech in which he
said something of the policy he would pur-
sue If he were elected mayor. He said he
would be in favor of the city's progress.
He believed in progress and the city must
go Onward. He believed in the continue
ance OF public works; in keeping the streets
clean and in spending every dollar of the
citys revenue here. He did not believe in
piling up a surplus in the city treasury for
corrupt politicians TO sGuabble over. but
he believed in spending each year in public
works the surplus revenue. 1t would be
his policy. he said. to do all he could to
further the requirement by the city of
breathing spots and parks: but he believed
the parks should be acquired and developed
IN extent commensurate with the ability Of
the citizens TO pay. He did not believe in
going too fast at first; but parks must
come. they We're needed and would do the
city good: HIS office. he said, would be
open at all times 10 all citizens. no matter
what their color. creed or condition.
b. F. Allen. in a brief speech. argued that
James NJ. Jones could not be elected if
nominated. The man best fitted of all
was John j. Green. he said.
Colonel r. II. Hunt argued that IL would
be unwise 10 nominate Jones for reelection
because there were too many elements of
the Republican party arrayed against him
for him 10 be elected.
Rev. Mr.. W. n. Venerable said that if
Jones Were nominated the next mayor of
this city would he n Democrat.
Ia. Laughlin spoke for the candidacy
of Green.

ATTACKED GENERAL BOOTH.
Rev. j. 6. D0ugherty Sees No Good i'm
General Booth or the Saliva
tim ARMY.

Rev. Mr.. j. G.. Dougherty. pastor of the
First Congregational church of Kansas
City, Kas.. in an address before the Con-
greGational ministers of the city at the \.
NJ. c. a. rooms yesterday morning, Vbgor-
ously assailed General William Booth. the
commander of the Salvation Army. He de-
c!ared the army to be the most absolute
despotism on the face of the earth, no
matter the amount of good il had done. 1t
iS in the absolute control and subject to
the will of one man." he declared. land it
teaches and prescribeS as the proper thing
just what he determines. He has no coun-
selors or advisers. and is subject TO the
will of no one. his power being absolute"
He also denounced the organization for
Its opposition TO churches and Independent
ed that the work being done was along
lines long followed by the organized
churches. but without the aid of beating
drums and sounding trumpets."
In closing he said: If the methods of the
Salvation Army are proper then the work
of the church is all wrong. The churches
are all supporting the army while ii is
teaching and advising people to let them
alone He thought the day was near at
hand when the churches would have to
cease supporting the army or else join it.
The question that must at last meet a
fair answer. he said. was. can the
churches with self-respect longer support
the army?"
Rev. DIR. Brown contended that with the
death of General Booth would come the
disintegration of the army for lack of a
controlling will. Rev. DIR. Henry Hopkins
commended the good work of the army.
but thought only Il few more years would
eiarse ere il joined the oblivion of similar
SectS.

WESTERN ROADS TO FIGHT THEIR
STRONG COMPETITOR.
THROUGH IMMIGRANT BUREAU.
INTERCHANGE Of STEAMSHIP BUSI-
NESS WITHDRAWN.
Canadian to BE Forced to Depend on
Other Ports Than New York and
Boston for Its immigrant
Trafic-U. p. Pays High
Commissions.

Chicago, ILL.,, Feb. 21.-A boycott has been
| declared against the Canadian Pacific road
by the Western lines SO far as immigrant
traffic is concerned. The Canadian road
was a member of the Western immigrant
bureau. but it has been CURLY informed
that on account of its ignoring the rules
| of the clearing house and the course 1t has
seen fit TO pursue in regard to the whole
diferential rate question its membership
| in the immigrant bureau has ceased. The
notice is emphasized by the fact that the
steamship companies land
ing at New York and Boston which are
under agreement to support the Western
roads in the matter. have sent instructions
to all their gents not to ticket any bust
ness over the Canadian Pacific in either di-
rection. Many of the agents of the Cana
dian Pacific in the Northwest were also
agents of the steamship companies. and
their agencies have been Cancelled. This will
be a severe blow to the Canadian Pacific.
traffic at either of the two ports named.
1t will have to be content with what it
gets at the Canadian ports. and but a very
small percentage of the wnoie lands there.
Afurther blow was aimed at the Canadian
Pacific by its opponents filing with the
interstate commission at Wash
ington an application for a SUSPENSION of
t%erstate commerce act so as 10 enable them
TO meet its competition with through rates
without interfering with intermediate rates:
Should this application be granted. as it
is believed it will be. it viii he of immense
advantage to the American roads in con-
serving their revenues while the conflict
continues. Western roads say that at least
one trunk line will act with them in their
Ugh against the Canadian road and this
will render them practically independent of
the others. The Grand Trunk will act with
them so far as the Central Passenger roads
are concerned. so that they will have the
support of connections all the way through.
A call was issued to-day for a meeting of
the Western roads Thursday to discuss the
situation.
Western roads find themselves involved
in a quarrel with the Union Pacific road
which is almost as serious as that in which
they are engaged with the Canadian Pa
cific. insomuch as it thretens the eX-
istence of their agreement with the trans
Atlantic steamship companies. The Union
Pacific. while not actually a member of the
Western immigrant bureau. has professed
to be acting in harmony with it and OBJ
serving its rules. 1t has now leaked out
that the Union Pacific has made a deal
with Peter mcdonnell, a discharged agent
ticket commission on California business.
The authorized commission paid by the bu-
reau is $50. The Union Pacific has been
notified that if it does not at once abro-
gate this arrangement it will be cut off
from all participation in the business pass
ing through the clearing house, which
means all arriving at New York and Bos-
ton.

NINTH STREET LINE CLOSED,
Main Driving Gear Breaks. Causing
the Shutting Down of the
Entire Line.

The main driving gear at the Eighth and
Woodland power house suddenly broke
with d crash at $40 last night. closing
dow the entire Ninth street system for the
night. 1t will probably be noon to-day be-
fore the accident can be repaired.
The main Ninth street cable was run
ming apparently smoothly when one of the
big cog wheels in the driving gear suddenly
snapped and a whole section of the wheel
dropped with a crash TO the basement. None
of the engineers at the plant was injured
and the steam was shut off before the
cables were injured. 1t is supposed that
the accident was caused by a sudden
wrench given to the big wheel by the cable.
As soon as possible "A large force of men
was taken to the power house from the
other power houses on the system. but II
was found that the entire driving gear for
the Ninth street system would have to be
taken apart before the broken wheel could
be taken out and a new one put in its
place. 4 similar accident to one of the
smaller wheels occurred at the same power
house a few weeks ago.
The accident left hundreds of people
downtown last night waiting impatientIy
for the cars to start. When 1t was learned
the line would not start during the night
they walked to other car lines that took

had been designated by a protesting Repub-
lican as his organ. Mr.. Sublette in the
course of his remarks said he thought the
TO say the least suggestive. He could not
understand the attitude of the paper at
present when its past relation to the Re
publican party. was considered and he de-
clared emphatically that party success in
the present contest demanded the nomi-
nation OF a man who was. to say the least,
in accord with his party and its leaders
and who had not singled out a sheet no
toriously antagonistic TO almost every prin-
ciple and leader of ReDublicanism for his
official mouthpiece.
Resolutions were adopted declaring the
Republican party TO be that of progress
and liberty and pledging every effort of
the organization to Mr. Green in his candi-
dacy for the nomination for mayor. At he
close of the meeting Mr.. Green himself APP
peared and briefly thanked the club for its
action, assuring II that he would soon be
heard from at greater length upon the is
sues of the hour.

DR.. John NJ. Gregory delivered the last
of his series of six lectures on the "Eu-
rope of To-day" before a large audience
at the Y. NJ. c. A. last night. He talked
