FRENCH PAPERS
 CRY STOP THIEF
WONDERS WHAT KIND OF GOV EMINENT SEEKS PURPOSE, OF DEMoLISHING ONE STATE AND CREATING ANOTHER.

Paris, November 16.-The French gov ernment is not in sympathy with the less important newspapers here to induce the Panama Canal company to cancel its agreement with the United States for the sale of it's concessions in order that French capital may construct the canal.
 The opposition is generally based on the view that French enterprise is at stake and that France should not stand by, as in the case of the Suez canal, and see it pass into the possession of another power. Under the caption Stop Thief the Patrie publishes an article asking What shall one think of a government which, as 1t cannot pierce Nicaragua and cannot obtain the consent of Colombia, demolishes one state and creates an- other?"
 The paper adds
 "The indifference of the press to this question is strange"
 A high French official informed the Associated Press that the only condition for full recognition of the republic of Panama was the receipt by telegraph here of a formal official communication from Panama under which the new govern ment will assume responsibility for the obligations of Colombia. It is evident from this that the French authorities have no intention to take any part in the efforts of a certain section of the press to induce the company to build the canal

tate the question of removing the House Of

up the agitation until Mayor Wells shall
call a special election for the issuing of

amendments.
The association intends to communicate
with the Municipal Assembly ana request
that Delegate Kinney'S bill naming the
sanitary committees and Health Commits
sioner Simon n joint committee to in
vestiSate the garbage question, shall not
pass.
This bill includes an approximation of
$500 for the purpose named. The resolu-
ton setting aside $500 and naming the
Board of Public improvements to make
the investigation rs suggested by Mayor
Wells. is considered the proper step by the
association.
A petition addressed to the Board of Edu-
cation is being circulated throughout the
Tenth Ward asking that body to replace
the present principal of the Froehei School.
Miss Josephine Garrigues. with a male Of
fetal
The petition states that while those who

MISSION LECTURES.
The Reverend Charles StelZlc Is
Asked To Follow Tour for =
Near Longer.
WOULD INVOLVE RESIGNATION.
Minister May Have to Give Up the
Passionate of Markham Memo
rial Presbyterian
Church.

The Reverend Charles Steze. pastor of
Markham Memorial Presbyterian Church,
who has been lecturing in the larger cities
of the country since April on THE Ques-
ton of the Laboring Man and the Church.
has received a commission from the Presby-
terrain Board Of Home Missions to continue
the work for year beyond the time he is
now contracted for.
Acceptance of the commission would in
yolve the resignation of his pastorate.
MIR. Stelzle was in the city yesterday. and
while not saying positively that he would
accept intimated that such would be the
case could affairs be arranged satisfac
tcrily.
Mr.. StelZle will leave the city to-day to be
sc ne until October. No definite action was
taken yesterday and none may be for i
month.
BY his work as pastor. his lectures and
his writings Mr.. Stelzle has attracted the
favorable attention of his denomination. He
was himself before entering the ministry an
expert machinst. and his chief work in the
church has been directed toward working
persons with the view of bringing them into
a closer relation with matters religious.
OF Markham Memorial Church. which was
mission when he assumed charge of it
four years ago. he has made the typical
| ''workingman's church of Presbyterantsm.
Early in the winter he published a book
bearing upon the questions with which he
vas confronted in his work and dealing with
his experiences.
BOARD Is ATTRACTED.
The Presbyterian Board of Missions at
once commissioned him TO deliver lectures
and create interest i'll his methods in the
| weaker city churches. The new commission
| is for a continuation of that work.
So favorably have his efforts been received
J that last week he was invited to address a
| congress of sociologists that Will meet next
| summer in London. He made partial ac-
ceptance.
| Mr.. Stezle says that should he accept the
| new commission it will not interfere with
| the contemplated London trip.
| Besides his work at Markham Memorial,
| Mr.. Stelzle has been in the pastorate at
| Minneapolis. Mimi, and in New York.
When he left the city in April the Rever-
| end John T. Faris of Kirkwood was secured
to supply his pulpit. Mr.. Fariss contract
! does not expire until August. Should MIR.
Stelzle resign it is thought that the con-
sregation would call Mr.. Faris for its
leader.
