Deacon at Samaria Will Not

Church.

And d musical instrument led to jal
and a clash.
Theer was a meeting held at Samaria
Sunday, and it was set to be one of musi
cal interest
A most excellent address was on the pro
gramme, and this was to be by State
Treasurer 3. r. Lacy, who had before
been heard in Sowing and Reapng.'
In addition to this it had been given out
that there was to be music of more than
ordinary interest. An orchestra from Raj
egh was to render sacred music and a male
quartette from this city was also to sing.
The reputation of these had preceded
them, and there was great crowd pres,
ent on Sunday.
But the programme did not materlalize
in all its parts. There was trouble about
the instruments the orchestra was to use.
The slide trombone was there the clariO-
net was there the cornet was there, and
the violin was there, as also were the well
meaning and happy disposed young men
who were TO use them.

Deacon
Baptist Church has convictions about
the proper kind of church music, and he
objected. His objections were strong and
won out.
In objecting to the musical numbers
Deacon Allen is reported to have said this:
The devil has a mortgage on hddle.
I've searched through the Bible and
do not find it mentioned. TINS objection
took the right OF way and there was no
sound of violin, slide trombone, clanonet
or cornet in the church.
The male orchestra and their tunetul
voices were allowed to hold forth, howev-
ed. and Messrs. George Norwood, Lewis
Highsmith. John Cheek and F'urman Belts
made splendid music, which gave an add
ed interest to the earnest address of Treas
urer Lacy.

1T MAY KEEP A BLACKLIST
These Two Matters Were Passad Upon in Sus.
tanning Demurrer Set up by the Wes-
tern Union in an Injunction
Case.
(By the Associated Press.)

st. Louis, August 17.-Judge Rogers, In
handed down an opinion sustaining the
demurrer of the Western Union Telegraph
Company in the labor injunction case of
Boyer ct al against that company. In
the written opinion Judge Rogers sus-
tains every point urged by Attorney Elem
ious Smith representing the defendant
company. holding that the company has
the absolute right to dismiss employees
because they belong to the union or for
any other reasons; that there can be no
conspiracy 10 do lawful act; that the
so-called blacklist may be maintained and
given out for the use of others
The case resulted from bill filed by
Telegraph Operator Arthur Boyer and
others, alleging they were members of the
Commercial Telegraphers' Union of Amer
Ica, local lodge No. 3, of ST. Louis. and
that they had been discharged from the
service of the Western Union Telegraph
Company, solely because they belonged
to the union.
The bill sought to prevent the Western
Union Company from discharging any
employe because of membership in the
Union, and the st. Louis officers of the
Western Union from cOnspiring to that
end. and to prevent interference of any
kind with the union and to prevent the
Western Union Company from maintain
ing a blacklist and placing thereon the
names OF those who might be discharged
because of being members of the union.
The Western Union Company demurred
to the bill and this demurrer was sus-
'tained by Judge Rogers, OF Arkansas. sit
ting IN the United States Circuit Court
today. Judge Rogers held that the Wes-
tern Union Company had the absolute
right to discharge employees not under
contractual relations with the company,
for any cause or without cause; that a
like right exists on the part of the en-
ploye to sever his relations with the
company for any cause, or without cause;
that If a contract II employment is viola
ted the recourse of the employe is at
law and not by bill In equity, such as
was brought in this case that there
could be no conspiracy to commit a law

charge of the companys employees because
OF being members of a union that the
company had the right to maintain
list on which might be placed she name
of a discharged employe and She cause
of discharge and this list might be given
others. provided It's contents were truth
ful and its circulation honest; that as
the bill alleged the union was formed
for moral and proper purposes there
should exist no objection upon the part of
an employe to have his discharge based
upon the mere fact that he was a MEM
Der of such an order.

Bogota, Colombia, August u, via Buena
Ventura, August 1.-THE Panama Canal
treaty has been rejected unanimously by
the Colombian Congress.
Washington, August ia cablegraIn,
dated August u, has been received at the
State Department from Minister Beaupre,
at Bogota, saying that the Panama Canal
treaty has been rejected by the Colombian
Senate
President Roosevelt was Immediately ad-
vised of the news, Mr.. Beaupre's telegram
being forwarded to Oyster Bay.
Very little additional information con-
cerning the action of the Colombian SEN
ate could be obtained at the State Depart
ment. Mr. Adee. acting secretary, would
not discuss Colombian affairs, nor indicate
what course the United States would pur-
sue. The information in the cablegram OF
Minister Beaupre was meagre and there
was no intimation whatever that the tre0ty
might not again be brought up for con-
sideration.
Section 4, of the Isthmian Canal Act,
provides that should the President be un-
able to obtain a satisfactory title to the
property of the new Panama Canal Com
pany and control of the necessary terri
tory and the rights necessary to the con
struction of the canal from the Republic
of Colombia. he shall make the necessary
treaties with Costa Rica and Nfcaragia
and proceed with the construction of a
canal by the Nicaraguan route.
1t will be impossible for President
Marroquin to again submit the treaty to
the Colombian Congress in its present
form. The Senate having rejected it the
treaty cannot again come before that
body, except by the Senates own vote.
President Marroquin, however, can send
the treaty slightly amended to the Senate
and reopen the canal debate 1t is be.
lieved at the Colombian Legation that
President Marroquin will adopt some such
