LIBERTY OF CONSCIENCE.
Appeal of Religious Body on Behalf of
Naval Academy Cadets.

At late meeting of the synod Of Balti-
more, which held its sessions in the Ais
quith Street Presbyterian Church, in Balti-
more. the question of granting the privilege
to cadets in the Naval Academy at Annap-
oils, Md, to attend church services in town
was fully discussed. 1t was alleged that
the superintendent refuses to accede to the
request of the parents of certain cadets who
desired the privilege of attending services
In the several churches Of their choice. 1t
was also stated that he discriminates in
favor Of certain students, to the disappoint-
ment of others. in granting the privilege.
After considerable debate resolutions
were unanimously adopted, setting forth:
THE committee to which was referred
the pending resolutions in the matter of
midshipmen in the Naval Academy at An
napolis, Md, would report as follows:
First. That the synod of Baltimore,
holding its sessions in Baltimore, Md, re-

Navy of the United States against rescind-

Second. That in making this protest

Congress Heights News.

Citizens of Congress Heights are up in
arms at what they term the inefficient
street car service between the city and
that suburb The officials of the Wash
ington Railway and Electric Company
have been appealed to for a better service,
but it is stated that the appeal has met
with inaction. The Congress Heights
Citizens Association appointed a commit
tee several weeks ago to take up the mat
ter with the railway officials, but nothing
has been accomplished. 1t is alleged that
the service is poor. that the cars provided
are simply "rattle-traps" of the most
rickety sort, and that passengers have to
wait sometimes half an hour at the Ana
costa junction for car for the Heights.
Usually. it is also alleged a number of
them are forced to stand in the cars and
on the platforms the entire length of the
line.
Property owners in Randle Park are
enthusiastic in their praises of the Com
misioners for their refusal to order the
removal of trees from the park. Such re-
moval would, 1t is declared. not only di-
minish the value of property in the park
but would destroy its beauty as well.

Vessel Masters Guilty of Negligence

Capt. Edwin F. White and Capt. Charles
Wright, local inspectors of steam vessels
of this district. who at hearing in this
city about two weeks ago investigated the
collision between the steamer River Queen
and a lighter in tow of the steam barge
Daniel X. Jackson, have found Capt. John
r. Hart of the River Queen and Capt.
Thomas A. Owens of the Daniel X jack
guilty of negligence, and have sus-
pended Capt. Harris license for thirty days
and Capt. Owens license for fifteen days.
The collision occurred on the night Of
September 10 between this city and Alexs
andria, and resulted in the sinking OF the
lighter, loaded with lumber, and an injury
to the hull of the Queen. No lives were
lost and no one injured, though the pas
sengers in the Queen were badly scared

Burned to Death at PRAYER.

A dispatch to the Chicago Tribune from
Opelousas, La, last night says: While
engaged at prayer in the Catholic Church
here Mrs. Donal Guillory, aged 100 years,
was burned to death in a horrible manner.
She was kneelng before the altar, near
which number of candles were burning.
Her devotions concluded she rose to leave
the church, when her dress came in contact
with a candle, and in an instant she was
ablaze.
Only a few worshipers were in the church
at the time, and their attention was at
tracted by the agonized cries of the wo-
man. They ran to her rescue, but too late.
She died In agony a few minutes after
her removal from church.

cally no effect upon the vote in the city or
county, and the race between Representa-
tive Swager Sherley and Mr.. William Owens
for the seat in the House is in about the
same shape it was before he came here.
Though the campaign has been warming
vi, to some little extent during the past few
weeks, the situation in the state, generally
speaking. Is unchanged. The republicans
are still claiming that they have more than
q fighting chance in the third and fifth dis
ti1cts, as ell as in the NINTH and the more
enthusiastic see victory in sight in the
tenth, where they declare "Parson" Hop
kins will be defeated by Mr.. Theo. Blakley.
1t is hardly probable, however, that the
returns will bear out their hopes, and Par
SON. Hopkins looks like good betting
proposition. The same thing also applies to
the ninth district. where 1t seems that Rep
hesentative Kehoe is gaining some ground.
Blow at the Populists.
During the past week the populists re-
ceived hard blow at the hands Of the
democratic state administration, which will
not tend to soften the hearts of the peoples
party advocates toward the democrats. Sec
rotary of State McChesney refused to allow
the names of the congressional candidates
in three districts, the first, second and
ninth to go on the ballot on the grounds
that the petitions were presented too late
for action under the laws Of the state. AS
the ruling of the secretary is disputed by
many well-verssd lawyers. the popuists
think they have a strong grievance. and ii
their nominees are kept off the ticket they
probably will rally to the support of the re-
publican candidates in the districts in
which they are deprived of candidate.
This will not have much effect. however. ex-
cept to cut down in a measure the maJori-
ties of the democrats as the districts In
which the trouble has occurred are safely
democratic, with the exception of the ninth
and the populist vote there Is not heavy
enough to make any difference.

LOUISVILLE; KY October %, 1904.
The average Kentucky politician enjoys
nothing so much as being allowed to pre-
sent his views on the stump, and just at
present the Dark and Bloody Ground" is
alive with campaign orators. But it re-
manned for Nebraskan, not Kentuckian,

Bryan has been here and has gone, and his
speech Thursday night attracted a great
audience, but its effect is doubtful The
bringing of Bryan to Louisville would seem
to indicate that the democrats realize their
most difficult contest will be in the fifth
congressional district The speech of the
Nebraskaa was along the lines which he has
followed throughout his tour of Indiana and
other states. There was no mention of free
silver, for that would not do in the Ken
lucky metropolis, which. though it always
has given Bryan most respectful and COM
plimentary hearing. has never been la SYM
pathy with his views.

Taft Talks Of Friar Lands.

dispatch from New York last night
says: Secretary: Taft was the principal
speaker at republican mass meeting in
Brooklyn tonight, held under the auspices
of the Union League Club. His speech was
upon the conditions in the Philippines. One
reason advanced by Secretary Taft for be-
lief that the Filipinos would be able to be-
come seIf-governing people is that the
archipelago contains over 70O0,000 Chris
tians and is the only section of the orient
where this condition exists. He went into
the matter of the friars' lands and gave a
general history of the islands since the
commencement of the American occupa-
ton, telling at some length of the progress
of the educational system.

Circumstantial evidence, they declare, is
so strong that there is pipe line" between
the democratic national headquarters and
the Anti-Parker Democratic National League,
which was organized several weeks ago
and which has general headquarters In the
Majestic Hotel, this city. The league is
sending out thousands of letters daily to
BRYAN and Hearst democrats In doubtful
states calling upon democratic democrats
to knife the Parker and Davis ticket and ito
aid in snatching the democratic party from
the clutches of Wall street" 1t is charged
by the gold men that the league Is using
the precinct list of 1900 for the purpose of
Identifying Bryan democrats of four years
ago.
This precinct list of 1900 was compiled
under the supervision of Charles A. Walsh
of Iowa and J. G. johnson, w. A. DeFord
and George p. Loce of Kansas. This year
the precinct work of the national committee
is said to be under the absolute control of
Walsh Johnson and DeFord all radical
Bryan men. George p. Locke, the third of
the Kansas trio, who had charge with Walsh
of the precinct work In 1900, is secretary
and local manager of the Anti-Parker DEM
ocratic National League.
The work of this league Is said to have
been so effective that chairmen of regular
state committees appealing for help and
are striving desperately to tap the sources
of league support. Perhaps the most de-
structive work of the league is being done
in Indiana, into which state thousands OF
anti-Parker letters are being sent to Bryan
and Hearst democrats. The league is also
operating in New York, New Jersey, Con-
necticut, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Utah,
Wyoming Colorado and Kansas. Branch
headquarters have been established in New
York, New Jersey and Connecticut.

Subscribers Have Vested Rights.
In consequence the Grimes company
ATTEMPTED to dissolve the contract anu .,
was preparing to attach the Ben
toll line. Then the Boone County lei
euhone Company filed petition asking
an Injunction restraining the Grimes
company from disconnecting with their
line or connecting with any compe.i-
tive lines. They alleged that the SUD
scribers had, by the contract with the
Grimes company, a vested right 10 the
benefits of the connections WIN llie
large number of subscribers on thelr
lines. Th..y could not estimate the
value of this and consequently the only
equitable way of settling the Difficulty
was by compelling both to fulfill the
contract.
AS to the alleged violations, several
DAYS were occupied in receiving the
testimony thereto. Judge Brennan.
however. denied the application OF the
Grimes company to have the temporary
injunction dissolved.
1t is claimed that If the court had
decided adversely to the Boone County
Con pany the Bell interests would have
suco eded in breaking at least half OF
the independents dissolving their con-
tracts and connecting with their lines.
The decision. however, will do much
in preventing the dissolution Of the
contracts.

Governor Cummins Will Not
Release the Noted Robber
Now In Penitentiary
HIS RECORD is a BAD ONE
He Has Given Valuable Information
In tho Case Against Thomas, Dona-
hue and Others and Was instrument
tai In Conviction of the Burglar
Gang at Clinton.

Des Moines. Dec. 2S.--Governor
Cummins has denied the application of
George B. Burrier for parole from the
states prison in which he has served
two years of a sixteen year sentence
s, The fact that Burrier since his incar-
seration and without promise or hope
pf reward extended from official source
has voluntarily given testimony which
has convicted ave or six criminals who
now wear stripes, was the incentive
which induced L. e. Fay of Clinton,
and others to call his case to the at
kention Of the governor.
In denying the application for parole
Governor Cummins said that he was
convinced Burrier had been II very des-
perate man, ard, in absence of pre-
arranged agreement betweena the au-
thorities and Burrier as to HIS treat
3nent IL he should turn state 8 evidence,
he did not feel justified in extending
clemency. particularly so soon after
Burrier had begun to serve his SEN
g4enoe.
According to- his own testimony Bur-
fiar has already served one term in
the Iowa penitentiary, has served a
ave year term in the Missouri peni-
Aenttary and is now a paroled prisoner
from Indiana, which parole he has
violated number OF times. He is
1 now in AnamGsa where he Is serving
sinteen year sentence for three bur-
Charles committed at Clinton. one might
less than two years ago. He was also
mixed UP in number of robberies
there and also burglaries and admit
ted on the witness stand that he Is the
man VINO shot one Frogg three times
while robbing the latters gambling
place two years ago. He testified that
he always went armed and would not
hesitate to shoot man Ii cornered.
He said he had NO idea how many
robberies he has committed and. that
he has been a criminal since he was
16 years old. He Is a drllnkard Also
and IN drink always is criminal. When
he was sentenced by the Judge he was
9iven the limit, and the court remark
ed to some Of the attorneys that the
man should be tried on other inddct-
ments SO that he could be sent to the
penitentiary for the remainder of his
hfe.
Even II Burrier were released from
his Iowa prison he would be taken
back to Indiana to serve eight years OF
an unenpired sentence on which he
was given parole that he has broken
and which has been revoked;
