TAKEN OFF IN BOATS.
Passengers Compelled to Leave EN-
pire State Express.

New York, March 3-For the first time
probably, in the history of the New
York Central, the passengers on the
famous Empire State express have been
taken from the palatial cars in row
boats at dead of night to save them
from drowning in their berths. They
were all rescued, but the train stands
half submerged on the rails where the
torrents forced the crew to leave it, says
an Albany, n. Y, special to the Her
aid.
One Of the last trains to leave Albany
over the Hudson River division for New
York was the regular o'clock train
which left Albany Saturday at p. m.
That train got through. The Empire
State express, from the west, followed
soon afterward. but was stalled by the
ice and flood at Castleton.
AT that point half a dozen trains are
now stalled. The passengers were taken
off in row boats and were cared for at
nearby hotels or transferred in boats to
relief trains waiting on the southern
side of the break Passengers on stalled
northbound trains were cared for in d
similar way until arrangements mad
been made for using the tracks of the
Lake Shore line beyond Hudson.

CALLS THEM DOWN.
Z. E. Stephens Says Good Citi-
Zens Haven't Done Duty.

"Only two of the male citizens of To-
peka, from the day of Mayor Parker's
election down to eight days ago, called
on him in the interests of law enforce
ment. The good citizens of Topeka
surrendered him without a struggle to
the enemies of prohibition. One might
judge that that is about how much the
people want to see the law enforced"
declared T. E. Stephens at a union
meeting of the North Topeka churches
at the Baptist church last evening.
Did you ever know of a w. G. t u
president or minister of the Gospel
who could not be helped by a word of
encouragement, and Spurred to more
earnest effort? DO not the majority of
people work to better advantage when
they are given credit for honest inten-
tons?
And yet the good people of this city
have not only held themselves aloof
from Mayor Parker but have actually
avoided him as if he were a 1eper, and
have Stunned his office as though it
were pest house; and have then CEN
Sured him for not doing his duty, when
as a matter of fact they have shame
fully failed in doing their duty by with
holding from him their moral support.
How simple a thing it would have
been, after the city election last year,
for every minister in this city, for every
temperance and w. c. T. L. worker,
and for nearly every good citizen to
have gone in person or to have written
MI dTAeT anu MI hughes, saying
that whichever should be declared
mayor he would be confidently expected
to do his full duty and that in doing it
he would have the hearty moral support
of every honest citizen. Had this been
done l venture the assertion that To-
peka would not have within its limits
single open joint today
Mr.. Stephens declared that if it proves
that the mayor has adopted a fine-for-
revenue policy, he would consider it in
excusable, but that the temperance peo-
pie could prevent it by bringing to bear
an irresistible sentiment upon the
mayor if they would.
He lauded the efforts of the w. c. T.
u. and the Woman's Municipal league,
and asserted that the day will come
when woman will realize her power in
politics and will put to confusion evil
doors of every sort.

WEBER'S STORE CLOSED
His Friends Explode the Labor
Day Charge.

ct have closed my store on Labor day
ever since beginning business in To-
peka, and I stand ready at this time,
as I have in the past, to enter into an
agreement with the other grocers of
Topeka to close my store at any reg
ular daily hour in the afternoon or
evening which may be satisfactory to
all"
This is the answer which Councilman
w. F. Weber makes to the charge that
he is opposed to union labor, and re-
fuses to encourage the work of the
Trades and Labor Council.
Labor Commissioner w. l. A. john
son, who has been quoted as saying
that he is opposed to Mr.. Weber, made
this statement today:
Il was misquoted in what l said
about Mr.. Weber. The situation is
simply this: 1t was reported at the
meeting of the Trades and Labor Coun-
Gil that Mr.. Weber refused to close his
store on Labor day, either a year or
two years ago, 1 don't know which L
said that if this was a fact Mr.. Weber
should not be chosen by the people OF
the Fourth ward to represent them in
the city council. 1 do not know any
thing about the case except what was
reported to me. There was no charge
made against Mr.. Weber except that he
refused to close his store on Labor
day"
H. P. Miller, a barber, and a member
of the Trades Council, said this morn
ing:
Il am positive that Mr.. Weber closed
his store on Labor day last year and
year before last was on a committee
two years ago which had this matter
In charge, and I know perfectly well
that Mr.. Weber closed his store
Mr. Miller is now located under the
Columbian building, but was formerly
located almost next door to Mr.. Weber'S
store on Kansas avenue.
n. H, Wolff, who has been in business
next door to Mr.. Weber for four years,
says Il know to my own knowledge
that Mr.. Weber's store was closed on
every Labor Day since he has been in
business there"
Efforts were made this morning 70
find out the basis for the charges which
the Trades Council makes, but no one
seemed to know the source of the in
formation which was presented to the
council Some of the officers promised
to investigate and try to ascertain
whether there is any ground for the
fight which the union is making.
Mr.. Weber does not bar union men
from employment in his store. He says
he never inquiries into that question,
and is perfectly willing that his clerks
should join the union if they desire. He
closes his store at o'clock in the even
ing, which is as early as most of the
grocery stores in town close. He always
closes on Labor Day. He resents the in
situation that he is opposed to laboring
men. He has contributed prizes toward
the Labor Day celebrations, and has put
his advertisements on the Labor Day
programmes.

DR.. COUNTERMINE WON
Ministerial Union Tables Fisk
Resolution.

The Topeka Ministerial Union today
tabled the resolution introduced by
DR.. Mcfarland at the previous meeting
commencing the work Dr. Fisk is doing
for Washburn college. The vote was
very close being IS to II.
Dr. Countermine was present and de-
Tended his position with reference to
Washburn college. He said he could not
endorse the school but that he loves Dr..
Fisk though he disagreed with him on
some of his beliefs.
Rev. Charles NJ Sheldon read paper
entitled why Not?'' it being a discus
sion of the life of Christ as applied to
present day Christianity.
The following address to Mayor Par
ker was then adopted:
To the Hon. the Mayor, Albert Parker,
City.
The Ministerial Union has received no
reply from you in answer to our state
ment sent you and the members of the
city council February 3. The only reply
so far received has been from Council
man Swendson who declared himself
unequivocally against any system of Ii
cenSe in the case of the criminals VINO
violated our prohibitory law.
Since our communication to you, Mr..
Mayor, the criminal liquor sellers in To-
peka have continued in their violation
of law and in several cases have been
fined and allowed to go back at once to
their criminal business. If this method
of treating crime in this city is your
policy the Ministerial union, represent
ing at least two thirds of the citizens
of this municipality, declares its alb
horrence of any such policy. We do not
believe in licensing this particular
crime of liquor selling any more than
we believe in the licensing of theft, or
arson, or any other crime for the sake
of revenue.
You have it in your power, Mr..
Mayor, if you honestly desire to do so,
to enforce the law against the crime of
liquor selling as we'll as against other
crimes committed in the city. We throw
the responsibility of doing SO upon you.
The Christian people of this city win
never submit to a policy of fines or
license in the case of criminals with the
express purpose of allowing them to
continue in their crime by the payment
of a more or less regular assessment.
The whole principle of such a policy IS
contrary to our law and degrading in
its effect upon our people.
This is not an appeal to you. Mr.. Mayor.
You have sworn to do your duty. But in
the name of our homes and our churches
and business integrity. in the name of
right and truth and law and all that is sa-
full responsibility upon you for the
forcement of our law against one class of
criminals much against any other.
You have no authority to make any dis
tinction
And upon you Will fall the burdens of
swore you would do it when you assumed
the office of mayor Of this municipality
