AND OTHERS
Among Those Present at
Peace Congress Banquet
Was Booker t.
(By the Associated Press. }

Boston, Mass, Oct. 7.-king Leo
pold. of Belgium, was assailed for his
policy as sovereign of the Congo Free
state, at public meeting held this
afternoon in connection with the In
ternational Peace Congress.
The attack upon King Leopold was
made by e. e. Noral. of England who
represented the Congo Reform Asso-
citation. Mr.. Morel charged that the
King was personally responsible in a
large measure for cruelties practiced
on the natives of the Congo Free
State in the terrific endeavors of mo-
nopolies commercial organizations TO
obtain from the country all the ivory
and rubber possible.
The King was defended by George
Herbert Head, of Cambridge. England,
who submitted that King Leopold had
done all possible to stop the cruelties
practiced.
The government policy in the CorGo
also was bitterly denounced by Rev.
w. M. Morrison, for seven years IL mis-
sionary IN the Congo land.
The congress today accepted report
port from the committee on propagan-
da recommending that the congress in
1905 be held in Lucerne, Switzerland.
One of th< first things which the
congress today was to adopt resolu-
items recommending to all nations to
enter into Il treaty inSuring in case of
dispute between countries that the
difference would be submitted for set
Element to union of all the powers.
A second public meeting this after
noon was held in the Old South Meet
ing House, to consider the progress Of
the peace movement in Europe, with
addresses by prominent foreign dele
gates.
A dinner was given tonight at
which the foreign delegates were the
guests. Speeches were made by Bish-
op Percival of England, the Baron
ess Won Suttner, Booker T. Washing
ton, and others.

TO BURN THE WIND
Attempt to Stop Three
Hundred Miles Auto
Race Today Fails.
(By the Associated Press.)

New York, oct. fudge Wilmot
M. Smith in the Supreme Court in
Brooklyn to-day denied the motion
for an injunction against the Automo-
bile Association of America, the OBJ
ject of which was to prevent the three
hundred mile automobile race over
Long Island roads tomorrow for the
w. K. Vanderbilt Jr.. cup.
The question argued before Judge
Smith was whether or not an lnJunc-
ton should issue restraining the Auto
mobile Association from conducting
the race on certain thoroughfareS In
Nassau and King counties. Ihe peu-
toner was George M. Bennett, or
Hampstead L. l., secretary OF the
Peoples Protective Association or
Nassau county, whose counsel argued
that the race was planned to take
place on highways from which the
general public was TO be debarred
from early on the morning of Satur-
day until the middle Of the afternoon
of that day solely for the gratifica-
ton, he said, of those who wanted to
learn how fast an automobile could be
driven. Attorneys for the Automobile
Association and for the Board or
Supervisors of Nassau county conten-
ded that nothing unlawful was beng
done, that the authorities were with
in their rights in granting PERMISSION
to run the race.
The court room was crowded dur
ing the entire proceedings by persons
interested in them and IN the race.
Among these there was Wl!!lam *.
Vanderbilt Jr., who gave the Wander
bilt CUP.

ported sea fight off Port Arthur is con-
tanned in a delayed special dispatch

The dispatch further states that in
spite of the tightening of the Japanese
blockade junks are Stiil arriving from
the fortress bearing refugees. who say
that all the attacks of the Japanese
have been repulsed and that it will be
necessary to institute a long siege and
complete blockade ila order to re-
duce the fortress. The blockade ac-
cording to the refugees is not complete
ly effective, junks continually arriv-
ing with food. supplies and ammuni-
tion for the garrison. The Japanese
have instituted close patrol over the
entire Yellow Sea. stopping every yes
sci sighted.
The captain of the British steamer
Chenan, which was stopped by Japa-
nese cruiser. while on her way to Che
foo from Taku. but was allowed to
proceed after her cargo had been ex-
amined, has made protest against the
way he was boarded and searched on
