The WAR AMONG MUSICIANS.
1 statement issued by the New York
IniOnts President.

NEW YORK, June I5.-James Beggs,
president Of Local No. Il, Of the American
Federation Of Musicians, issued q. state
ment yesterday defining the relations of
this union with the Musical Mutual Pro
teCtive Union, which is in a state Of up
heaval over the organization Of Local
No. q. He says th-.t Local No. II. which
IS d trades union. composed of members
of the Musical Protective Union, was
formed because the latter was not allowed
by its charter to enforce its scale of
wages by strikes or threats Of strikes
We, therefore, he said, could not be a
trades union in its true sense
In consequence of this, he says, while
the Musical Mutual Protective Union had
control Of all the threatre orchestras, all
Of them, with the exception Of one or two,
were paying less than the union rates
There was so much red tape about de
handing the union rates that few mem
bers could afford the time to so through
the process BY the members Of the Mu-
steal Protective Union joining Local No.
Il, however, he said, they could through it
demand the union rate and enforce 1t in
the usual way
If the Musical Mutual Protective Union
had been union in its true sense he
goes on, Local No. Il would never have
been formed BY being a. regular trades
union and being able to enforce its union
rates II would have gained many thou
sands Of dollars for its members

IN DANGER FROM EATING CLAY
A West Virginia Family in "a Serious
Condition From The Hnhif

HUNTINGTON, W. Va. June I5-The
county authorities have been called upon
by people on Madison Creek to aid the
family Of Jacob NIilar- The overseer Of
the poor of that district in investigating
the case ascertained that the children
were confirmed clay eaters, and that it
was from the effects OF their peculiar
appetite that they were suffering. Though
the boys were only twelve and fourteen
years Of age they had induIged in this
peculiar habit for years and would wake
up IN the night and extract clay from
the cracks Of their log hut TO eat Their
propensity for the stuff has attracted at
JentiOn from the entire section
The skin Of the children has assumed a
clay-like color and a physician who was
today called in to see them states that
the boys are suffering from an affection
Of the kidneys brought on by the habit
He also says that dropsy has appeared
and that there are no hopes Of saving
them. It is said that the parents Of the
children were clay-eaters in their early
days and have never attempted TO stop
their offspring from the habit

APREACHER UPHoLDs DARWIN.
He Defends the Theory That Men Are
Descended From Apes.

BOSTON, Mass. June 15.-Rev. Winfield
! s. Hall, Phi. D.. Of Chicago, created a sen
sation among the delegates to the Jubilee
Convention of the Young Mems Christian
Association, yesterday, in the discussion
of the physical work OF the association. in
the First Baptist Church, Commonwealth
Avenue, when he said that our ancestors
were apes. pr Hall had for his SUBJECT:
Modern Tendencies in the Development
Of the Race" His audience was composed
chiefly Of men, with a sprinkIing Of the
fair sex
The section devoted to the physical
work was well attended, and included di-
rectors of gymnasiums from all parts of
the country. They were for the most part
fine athletic-iooking men. and they had
opinions of their own. Many Of the dele
gates are such stanch Christians that
they refuse to accept Darwin's story
When Dr. Hall went back to mans
probable origin and the physique of his
progenitors a man in the rear OF the
church demanded TO know how it was
possible for God to make an ape with
a soul or develop a man from a soulless
ape.
DR.. Hail said that any discussion Of
racial development must be based on the
evolution theory. This theory, he said, is
now accepted as q working basis by every
biologist and socioIogist of repute, though,
of course. no one contends that the proof
OF organic evolution in the present form
Of theory is final and complete The chain
Of evidence is, however, so extended that
it is accepted as a working basis OF all
those scientists who have TO deal with
problems of life
When we say that mans probable
origin was from an ape-Iike progenitor, -
he said, 1t should not come as a shock
to anyone VINO has kept in touch with the
trend Of modern thought The progeni-
tors of man We're probably not very IN
like the anthropoid apes Of Asia and At
RIGA.
1t is not believed by biologists that the
human race descended from the anthro-
Boid ape as We know him. but that pTi-
meval man and the modern anthropoid
ape had a common progenitor, now ex-
tinct. This is the real missing link which
biologists have been looking for"
i very animated discussion followed the
address, but DR.. Hail proved equal to the
occasion, and took the stand that It was
possible for student Of evolution to be
even a greater Christian; that the Christ
ian evolutionists idea of God IS not an
TagOliSJIC TO Christianity.

pedagogic department Of Howard Univer-
sity- The speaker Impressed upon his au-
dience the benefits Of education and their
proper appreciation. 1t was not so much
what was learned, he said. as the inspi-
ration which it created within mankind
Education, he said. tended toward eman-
cipation and the only way to freedom is
through seIf-development And this self
development, he said, could only be pur-
chased by constant activity. He warned
the members Of the class to beware OF
thinking that they were learned, for in
