CAN'T SHUT OUT POOR.
Court Declares Humble Worshiper
 Has Right to Pews.

Kansas City, May S.-By a decision of the Supreme Court, the aristocratic mem- bers of a church have no legal right to deny an humble worshipper the occupancy of a seat among them.
 The congregation Gomad Chesse, a Jew lsh synagogue was sued by Samuel Graves. a pawnbroker and jeweler, for $65. the value of a pew which he had agreed to sell to H. Jagota. a shoemaker. and the court rendered a Judgment against the congregation. Before buying the pew from Graves. Jagota. like all of the poorer members of the congregation. had occupied a seat in the rear of the church. When Jagota. with his family. at- tempted to enter the aristocratic section where his pew was located, he was met by the president of the congregation who told him that he could not sit in that seat. Jagota pushed by, determined to assert his rights, but when he reached his pew he found its entrance blocked and barricaded with chairs In the face of this opposition, Jagota abandoned his claim to the pew and refused to pay for it. Thereupon Graves brought suit against the congregation to recover the amount he lost because he was unable to deliver to Jagota the pew according to contract

MACHEN IS RELIEVED
 OF HIS OFFICIAL DUTIES
MACHEN ALL POWERFUL
CoNoREssMEN COMPELLED TC
 GO TO HIM.
Jealousy of First Assistant Postmas- ter General Wynne Started Investigation Resulting in
 Action Yesterday.

Washington. May s.-(Special.)- magic of Machen's name will be music no more to members of congress seeking the establishment of rural free delivery routes.
 The suspension of superintendent A. W. Machen removes the most powerful sub ordinate officer who has figured in the department in many a year.
 As already indicated in these dispatches. the campaign against Machen was begun soon after the induction into office of First Assistant Postmaster Geeral Robert J. Wynne. MT. Wynne, as a Washington correspondent for New York paper. had marked Machen's power and felt 1t after wards when in the same department with him. Machen organized the rural free delivery system, and so completely domi- mated 1t without the advice or co-orperat- ion to higher officers that they were fain to assert some of their prerogattves This was particularly the case with MT. Wynne, who during the absence of Post master General Payne in Cuba, made much headway in his fight against the free delivery superintendent.
 Nevertheless, Machen, during all the upheaval in the department, with the clouds of suspicion lowering about him and a number of others who had already been put out of the department, seemed never disconcerted by the pressure. and rather defiance than any sign of yield ing, even when it become apparent what the end would be. Nobody is surprised at the outcome. For the Postmaster Gen. eral backed Mir. Wynne and the presi- dent backed the Postmaster General.

 Machen's Enemy.
 Former Representative Loud of Califor- mia, who was chairman of the House Committee on Postoffices and Post Roads, has spent much time during the past two or three days in conference with Postmaster General Payne, First Assist ant Postmaster General Wynne and Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow. MT. Loud and MT. Machen have been at odds officially for nearly two years and it is believed that the days developments.
 MT. Machen had a conference with the Postmaster General today and imme- diately after their talk, as had been ar ranged, MT. Payne sent his letter to Mir. Machen. MT. Machen tonight was not inclined to talk. but expressed confidence that he would rebut any allegation made against him. He said:
 -"I have no fear of not being able tc meet any and all of the charges that have several weeks. take the action of tht department to be step toward expedit' ing and closing up the investigation as promptly as possible and designed to give Mir Bristow an opportunity of getting a thorough insight into the free delivery service.'
 MT. Machen will be at the department tomorrow morning to relinquish his office to Mir. Fosnes. He says that except while removing his family to his summer home at Westminster, Md, he will re- main in this city during his leave of ab- sence.

CRITlCISE DR. LORENZ
SURGEON AND HIS METHOD IN
 DuSFAvOR.
Now Said That His Bloodless Treat ment Has Paralysis as One of Its Result-The Medical
 Association.

New York, May Swallowing the criti- cism of Professor Adolf Lorenzs blood less method of reducing congenital hip dislocation, at the convention of the American Medical Association in session this week at New Orleans, a concerted attack upon the Austrian savant seems scheduled for the sixth triennial congress of American physicians and surgeons, which is to be held next week at Wash ington, says The Herald.
 The programs as sent out to the. mem- bers are abstracts from several papers, in which the purpose to discuss the blood ess method Is Indicated.
 The publication of intimations that physicians mad found that paralysis had followed what is now termed the Lorenz bloodess operation for reducing hip dis locations is stirring up the defenders of and those not in accord with the Lorenz method, and it seems probable that the resentment felt by many American prac- titioners over the fetching of the Aus trian specialist to this country to per- form his operation upon little Lolita Ar mour for fee of 80, GOO and expenses of himself and an assistant, will be made evident.
 Dr. Newton M. Shaffer. the Treasurer of the coming congress at Washington, says:
 Tt is a pity that there should be any question as to the good that Professor Lorenz's trip did. All of his patients have been benefited by the severer meth- ods shown to be feasible by Professor Lorenz. despite the temporary paralysis occasionally resulting. All the cases that fell under my personal observation did well. About the death of one patient in Philadelphia, l do not understand that this untoward result was due to Profes- sor Lorenz's operation

 Agree Regarding Proposed Ex-
 tension and the Former Dts z.

McLAURN HIS SUCCESSOR

New York, May s.-tspeciaL-At tho local office of the Birminshap and Brunswick Railroad, 1t will be announced tomorrow ttat Colonel Machen of Geor- gia, President and promoter of the road, has sold out his entire interests and re- signed his office.
 Probably the announcement will also include the fact that former Senator McLaurin of South Carolina has bssn elected to the Presidency.
 The deal was consummated today ag the roads local ofiice, 100 Broadway. n less than an hour.
 It gives Colonel Machen fortune and relieves him of all further business cares. The Colonel is considered in waii Street as one of the greatest hustlers Georgix ever produced. He founded the B. and B. on a shoestring Today he receives in cash an immense sum for his inter- est in 1t.
 The sale was unexpected. Colonel Machen came to New York from Bruns- wick to attend meeting of the other interests of the road. An extension of
  discussion regarding the time In which this extension could be constructed and the money involved.
 Senator McLaurin, Bankers Fairbairn and Humphreys and the two other Wall Street bankers interested stood out against President Machen.
 All right" said the latter. If you think you can do better than I, then buy me out.' 
 Name your price," said McLaurin
 Colonel Machen named 1t. The fixe men looked at each other. nodded and then Banker Fairbairn wrote out check
 It was sent to the bank and certified. The remainder of the hour was spent in drawing up and signing papers.

TO FIGHT FGl
 MANCx. x.JRIA
 ~ Russia Hay Shown Its
 ?, .,.dineSS. TROOPS GOING FORWARD Naval Squadron Also Now in Striking Distance. United States May Join Japan and Great Britain in Effort to Pre- vent Seizure of New
 Chwang.

Pekin, May S.-Russia's coup In thro V ing more troops into New Chwang and adding to her Qualifications there, has caused profound surprise here as recent developments had led to the expectation that Russia would compromise her de- mands, since they had been revealed to the Powers.
 The latest manouver is interpreted as being intended as a reply to China's re- fusal to grant Russia's demands. to the protest of the Powers, and as a declara-
 ton that she is ready to fight in order to maintain possession of Manchuria. It is considered significant that the Russian army reoccupies certain strate- gical posts at just about the time naval endorsements were reaching the gulf of Pc Chi Li.
 The temporary withdrawal of the Rus sian troops from New Chwang is believ- ed to have been a feint to avert sus- picion from the contemplated policy un- til the Russian squadron was within use- full distance.
 Russia Buying Horses. IL ndS DeeH TepOEleu recently tIldL buS- sia was accommodating great stores of provisions and war materials. It is i'm possible to confirm these reports; but il is known that the Russian military au- thorities have been buying many horses. All the available information indicated | that Russia Is preparing to increase and not decrease her forces in Manchuria. The foreign ministers yesterday dis | cussed information to the effect that the | Russians had taken a large tract of land across the river from New Chwang, | commanding the terminus of the Shan Hai Kwan Railroad. It was stated that Russia informed the Chinese officials that
 1t was needed for drill grounds. The Sc. | lection of the site seemed remarkable because the troops were then quartered
 on the opposite side of the river, several | miles distant, where plenty of land was available.
 The Chinese officials describe the Dow | ager Empress as being greatly distressed and as fearing that the Russian aggres-
 sion will excite anti-foreign demonstra- | tions resulting in retaliation on the part of foreigners and the introduction of more
 foreign troops.
 China Will Not Resist.
 No where has a suggestion been heard
 that China will resort to arms in order to resist Russia.
 Prince Ching, the Grand Secretary, yes-
 terday secured five days leave of ab-
 sence. This is favorite strategem Of
 Chinese officials who are desIrous of
 avoiding unpleasant situations.
 It is sSated here that Russian influence
 Is being exerted to conciliate American
 opinion and that appeals are being made
 to the traditional friendship of the two
 nations. with the argument that Russian development of Mapchuria will open a
 great field for American. commerce. and
 that the opposition of the United States to Russia's plans might provoke retalia- ton against American trade.
 The Russians have established a consul late at Mukden.
