PASTOR WIDDEMER OVERCOME.
He Is Unable to Go On with tho Service and
Dismisses tho Congregation.

AsBuRY PARK. n. j.. June 1S.-The trouble
between the pastor and the congregation of
the First CONGREGATIONAL Church OF Asbury Park
continues. The pastor Is the Rev. Howard D.
Widdemer. who is accused by members OF his
church OF paying too much attention to one OF
the young women members OF the congreRa-
tion-An investigating committee asked him
to resign. but the minister is holding his
ground. He says, as he was engaged by the
congregation. that body alone has authority to
ask for his resignation. This morning he an
nounced that he wanted a congregational
meeting to be held on Tuesday to receive a
communication from the pastor. The notice
did not please the anti iddemer faction. who
said the call should state that the meeting was
for the purpose of voting whether or not MIR.
Widdemer should be retained.
This afternoon those who are opposed to Mr..
Widdemer prepared call and gave it to the
clerk to read at the evening service. Mr. Wild
demer gave out his notices and referred to the
Tuesday night meeting. but his reference
wasn't comprehensive enough to suit the anti
Wddenerites. Clerk Rhome thereuron walk ed
to the front of the pulpit and in clear voice
read h Is call, which was to the effect that there
were charges affecting the pastors conduct.
and the church was asked to vote on his inno-
cence or guilt. Mr.. Widdcmcr was overcome
with emotion and could not go on with the ser
vices. He dismissed the meeting with bene-
dictiOn.

DR.. Lorimer attacked. among other things. or

part that modern society is Prometheus bound.
with the vutures of greed and vice eating his
vitals The awful tragedy OF the century Is
that mind 10 sacrificed to the body. Unless
something is done to relieve society OF its
misery the race is devoured
Who" said the speaker. is better pre-
pared to help society than the scholar? The
masses OF the people are deluded by sophs-
tries and cunning schemes Of agitators. An
example Of these sophistries is the one that
has been promulgated over this country this
year, namely. covering the in Quity OF forcibly
attaching the Philippines to the United States
and Of DISTINGUISHING southern negroes by the
argument that our Constitution grows II
Amendment was added: but it has had no
growth to excuse these crimes.
Another Of the sophistries is organized
charity. You will expect me to defend charity,
but maintain that that charity is msnamed
which forces a starving man to turn his soul
fore he can get crust of bread: that is not
charity which compes a woman to give her
history before she can get clothes for her child.
What society most needs to-day is not charity.

ON TRUSTS AND EXPANSION.
President c. X. Adams's Straightout Talk
to Wisconsin students.

MADISON. Wis. June 1S.-Two thousand per-
sons to-day heard President c. h. Adams de-
liver the baccalaureate address to the gradu-
ating class OF the Wisconsin University. His
subject was Irresistible Tendencies" Re-
gardng trusts. the President said they are the
natural. inevitable outgrowth of prevailing
conditions and their formation is irresistible.
He said:
1t would be impossible to claim that there
is liberty if the man with shovel and the man
with cart cannot agree to combine their in
terests and work together But such cOmbi-
nation in its essential features would be a trust
as much as any other. Is Congress to say that
800 900 may combine with half dozen men,
but 100000 may not combine with thou
sand ?"
President Adams said trusts should be reRu-
lated and restrained. the power Of doing which
is quite within the scope Of legislation in free
country.
Wha expansion has it's evils he maintained
that they are far outweighed by the beneticent
cvliZing influences accompanying it. He SAID
while we may deplore and denouncc it as
selfish and brutal. yet We cannot deny the fact
that among nations. as among animal life.
there is a tendency which appears to amount
to a law, that the most worthy shall grow and
extend its influence. while the less worthy
shall diminish and finally perish"

called Policeman Gleason of the bicycle squad.
The oireman placed the woman under arrest
and took herand the man in the patrol wagon
to the West Thirtieth street station.
The man was helpeSsly intoxicated and I'M
able to give any answer TO the questions put
To- hi m. The woman said that he was John
ttoOdrun. % years old. OF 347 East Thirty
sixth street. and that she was his wife. She
explained tearfully that she had taken the
money and the watch for safe keeping, and
she seemed so deeply Inundated at her plight

take the man away. hut from stern sense OF
duty held both as suspicious persons.
The two were arraignel before Magistrate
Cornell in the jefferson Market Police Court
yesterday: The woman repeated the tale she
had told the Sergeant. When the mans turn

was received at the War Department from
Major-Gen. Otis to-day. Including the
casualties from June 3. the total OF the

a large number. as Gen. Otis in his re-
port OF the engagement at Iapote placed
the killed in that affair alone at ten and the

ness OF the report that considerable difficulty
is being experienced in securing accurate lists.
Five OF those wounded at Zapote are officers.

No officers are included among the killed. In

FIGHT OF THE GRANITE CUTTERS.
Workmen in the East Quit in Sympathy
with Chicago Strikers.

with Chicago Strikers.
The Granite Cutters National Union ordered
a strike on saturday in the yards in Long
Island City where the granite is being cut for
the Hall of Records in New York This strike
is in sympathy with the strike Of granite cut
tiers at the new Post ONCE in Chicago. Ac-
cording to William j O'Brien, delegate OF the
local branch OF the union. the strike will ex-
tend to every building throughout the country
for which John Pierce. against whom the
movement is directed. supplies the granite.
until the demands Of the Chicago strikers are
granted.
Mr. Pierce is a prominent member of the New
England Quarrymen's Association. of which he
was President during the big strike in the
granite trades a number OF years ago. The
stone for the new Post Office in Chicago was
dressed at the quarries in New England, where
the wages are lower than in Chicago. but the
National Granite Cutters Union insists that
tho Chicago prices must be paid.
SYMPATHETIC strikes OF the gran to cutters"
said OBrtsn. have been ordered at HALO
Me, and other places where there are branches
OF the union; We have also fight against the
Degpan- Mclean Company. which has charge
of the work at the Brooklyn anchorage OF the
new East River bridge. for failure to observe
union condition &. and against other contrac-
tors, which has caused sympathetic strikes OF
the granite cutters at Cape Ann, Mass. Pigeon
OBrlen said that over LOCO granite cutters
were involved in these strikes. and that they
would be extended until the demands OF the
Chicago strikers were settled.
