DIR. PEARSE ADVOCATES
NEW CULT OF SOCIALISM
Briton Tells His Views of Higher
Thought in Graphic Manner
to Congregation.

A theory of socialism not generally ad-
vocated by the followers of Debbs and his
cult was that advocated by Dr. Mark Guy
Pearse in his lecture at the Roberts Park
Church last night on Christian Socialism,
The socialstic theory of the speaker was not
the destruction of the present government
system, but, as he put it, 1.-The lifting up
of everything that's down instead of the
pulling down Of everything that's up
Christian socialism, DR.. Pearse held, was
not conducting Christian work by a select
few, but by the masses, and his ideas of a
Christian life were not the following of a
rigid set of rules, but were broad and
liberal.
DR. Pearse took an optimistic view OF life
and thought that there was more good in
every man than bad. He paid a tribute to
woman and compared the value of one
woman to ten of men. The work of the
deaconess was complimented, but ne said
he thought that the name had tendency
to draw her too much aloof from the work
in which she was engaged
His address abounded with wit, but the
humor was made more prominent by his
manner. A long and varied experience was
evidenced.
DR. Pearse will give second lecture at
a union meeting of the Fletcher Place
Roberts Park and Meridian-street Church
congregations tonight at the Meridian
street Methodist Church

CONDEMNED MIN SEEKS
TO HASTEN EXECUTION
Murderer Appeals to Gov. Odell to
Prevent Delay in Inhicting
Death Penalty.

ALBANY, N. Y, March 16.-Governor
Odell has received a most extraordinary
letter from a man condemned to death for
murder. requesting the interference OF the
executive to prevent any attempt to delay
the execution. The writer is Frank II.
Burmese. a sailor, convicted in Brooklyn of
the murder of George B. Townsend, the
captain Of his vessel. He is confined in
Sing Sing prison and was to have been exc
cuted Feb. s. but the execution was stayed
by an appeal to the Court OF Appeals taken
by his attorneys without the consent of the
condemned man. The letter says. in sub
stance, that the writer believes himself
deserving the death penalty. which he
wants inflicted with all speed possible. He
declares he does not want a new trial, as
he has a violent temper, which he is unable
to control, and probably would commit
other crimes.
The Governor will take no action in the
matter.

BALLOTS POUR IN At LOCAL
MINE WORKERS OFFICES
Returns from Nearly 1000 Locals
Have Been Received and
More Are Expected.
COUNT TO BEGIN TO-DAY

Returns from several thousand local
unions of the Mine Workers Of the soft
coal districts. who voted Wednesday on
the proposition TO strike April 1 or accept
the two years contract offered by the oper-
ators, poured into the headquarters of the
United Mine Workers of America yester
day. OF the 10000 locals, embracing over
10000 miners entitled to vote, returns from
about 800 have been received by Secretary
Wilson.
Canvass OF the returns will begin to-day
at headquarters under charge Of tellers APP
pointed by the convention. They Nat
Charlton, Of Illinois. Patrick Fitzsimmons,
of Pennsylvania, and James Pritchard, of
Ohio. When the tellers begin their work
this morning ii is expected that over one
half the returns will have been received.
Secretary Wilson said last night that more
returns were received through the day than
he had expected. considering the fact that
they are sent in by mail.
Unless there are some unexpected delays
in the receipt of returns Secretary Wilson
thought that the result Of the vote might be
known by tomorrow evening. In any
event, he said, the vote will be counted by
Saturday night. No information will be
given out by the tellers as to the trend of
the voting until the canvass is completed.
Ihe returns Of the individual votes of
the members of the locals arrive at the
miners headquarters sealed, and they will
not be opened until in charge of tellers this
morning. The returns will then be
Transcribed and the outcome of the present
crisis Will depend upon a majority of the
total number of individual votes cast
That a strike has been voted down can
now be stated as practically certain, as re-
ports from all parts of the soft coal re-
glons state that an overwhelming majority
stances were the strike votes in the ma
jority.
Ofhcials Of the organization are confident
or the amicable outcome. Vice President
Lewis said last night that ever since it
had been decided to settle the issue by a
referendum vote he had felt that the dan
ger of a strike had been lifted. There is
not the least doubt in my mind he said
but that the miners have voted down the
strike l have felt that they would from

Reports received from more distant points
