MAY COME TO AMERICA
But President Will Not Invite Nations
to Peace Congress Till the War

washington. Oct. THE president ha
decided, on the advice of Secretary Hay,
to take no action toward calling a second
conference of The Hague peace congress
until after the close of the war between
Russia and Japan. When 1t finally is
called 1t is not impossible that it will be
held in Washington instead of at The
Hague.
The president promised the delegates to
the interparlamentary union that he
would issue the invitations for the con-
gress Eat an early date" but he has
since concluded that the present is not
an opportune time for a second step to-
ward international arbitration. Japan and
Russia We're two of the principal signers
to the first Hague convention. Both are
opposed to a call for second congress
now on the ground that it might lead to
an attempt at intervention. Fo rthe same
reason England and France. allies of the
warning powers. are opposed to any action
by the president while the war is on. I'm
official inquiries by American diplomats
at other European capitals convinced Mr..
Hay that invitations to a peace congress
would not now be received with favor.
If Mr.. Roosevelt is in the White House
when the war ends he will at once open
negotiations with the nations to secure
their views as to the time and place for
holding the congress. These preliminaries,
it is now stated, may take year. On
account OF the expense involved in enter
taining the congress, 1t will not be forced
on The Hague. If the government of the
Netherlands extends an, invitation, the
congress doubtless will be held there, but
otherwise 1t may meet In Switzerland or
some other small European country. or in
Washington. If sentiment favorable to
the American capital is developed, cons
gress will be asked to appropriate fund
with which to entertain the delegates.

Judge Garland Denies Injunction Is,
Waterworks Suit.

Sioux Falls. s. D., Oct. THE city
has won a pronounced victory in the
latest phase of the legal battle be-
tween the private water company and
the city Of Sioux Falls, with the COM
pietion and operation of a municipal
system Of waterworks as the bone of
lcontention. The latest suit was in
1stituted by the Municipal & Corpora
tion Securities company against the
lefty Of Sioux Falls and Joe Kirby, a
local attorney, and was designed to
further hamper the city In it's efforts
Ito complete and operate a municipal
system Of waterworks. The complain
ant asked that an injunction be issued
against the city, the suit being of such
q nature that If the injunction had
been granted the city would have been
tied up completely. The complainant
holds waterworks bonds of the city
to the amount of $4,000. Judge Garland
OF the federal court, denied the in
junction, one of the grounds Of this ac-
ton being that all the bondholders, or

RELIGION IS DECADENT
Archbishop of Canterbury Delivers His
Promised Message to Americans
at Episcopal Assembly.

Boston, Oct. S.--When the house OF
deputies Of the Episcopal church as
sembled today there was a large at
tendance of visitors in anticipation of
the presence of the archbishop of Can
terbury who yesterday announced he
would deliver q message to the Alneri-
can church. The triennial conference
of the woman's auxiliary to the board
of missions formally opened today and
was largely attended. The house of
bishops continued it's sessions behind
closed DOORS
The archbishop dwelt at length upon
the necessity for Safeguarding the peo-
pie OF America and England against
the gray" peril OF the already certain
deCadence of definite religion in the
ordinary home. Continuing, he said:
People speak sometimes Of the ties
and links" which unite our church in
England with yours in the United
States But are the words appropriate?
We are learning, 1 hope, to~regard the
relationship in all essential things as
one of identity rather than affiliated
and fraternal. If my presence in yo:r
convention be permitted in the provi-
dence Of God to promote in any degree
the efficiency Of our churchs life as a
banded force for the lettering of what
is amiss in public or in private things,
for the ceaseless fight against impurity,
selishneSs, greed. ignorance. apathy.
cowardice and half-heartedness, 1 shall
rejoice indeed,

THREE ARE KILLED.
Six Others Were Injured in Fearful
Automobile Accident in
New York.

New York, Oct S.--While speeding
along in the Bronx an automobile con-
tanning nine persons went over an en-
bankment at One Hundred and Sixty
first street and jerome avenue, and one
man and a woman were killed. The
machine fell onto the New York Cen
trail railroad tracks and the Wreckage
was struck by a southbound train.
In the automobile when the accident
occurred were five women and four
men. The automobile was in charge
Of Albert Noyes.
At Jerome avenue and One Hundred
and Sixty-frst street the roadway is
between twenty and thirty feet above
the railroad tracks. When the big ma
chine plunged downward it struck near
the sOuthbound track and the nine per-
sons and the automobile were caught
by an incoming train known as the
Croton local.
Beside the man and woman killed,
AL the others in the automobile were
injured. They were taken to Fordham
hospital, where it was reported at 1870
o'clock this morning that at least one

ton
Among the injured are:
Emma Perez. New York.
Jeanette Davis, address not known.

Grand Cenral station Engineer Living
ston was placed under arrest. One pas
senger on the train said the train was
running at the rate of about thirty
five miles an hour when it struck the
machine. The automobile which was
wrecked was 4 heavy touring car, and
1t is said was running down Jerome
avenue at Il rapid rate. Jerome avenue
ends abruptly at One Hundred and
SiXty-first street There is high
fence at this point TO prevent vehicles
from dropping off onto the track
Where jerome avenue ends the road
way takes sharp turn, and the auto
mobile did not slacken up for the curve
and struck the fence with a terrific
crash.
Engineer Livingston put on brak es
as soon as possible, but not before the
wreckage of the car had been carried
some distance.
The body of Albert Noyes, chauffeur
of the wrecked automobile, was found
underneath the pilot of the engine hor-
ribly mangied.
At 8 o'clock this morning one of the
injured women who was identified at
the Fordham hospital as Anna Smith,
II years old, died.
This made total of three dead, one
of whom, woman, was still unidenti-
fled.
Wreckage Of the machine was found
scattered along the railroad track for
a distance of two blocks. The car had
been reduced literally to bits. 1t is
said to have been running at least
twenty five miles an hour when the &C
! "dent occurred.

lite confirmation would not create. sur

formed that no orders have been sent
to Admiral Weirin to break through

that the admiral has discretionary
powers to leave Port Arthur If condi

directed at blockade runners.

Expert opinion is divided as TO
whether n serious engagement is likely
to occur at Mukden, but the dispatch
from that city reporting an unusual

ulation. 1t is impossible to say wheth-
err this condition presages the evacua-

evident that something Of unusual in

the fact that most reliable advces
credit him with only about six divi-
sions at Mukden, it is thought more
likely that the commotion had to do
with one or the other of the Japanese
fanking columns, which the Russian
commander may have been preparing
to check.
