CONFERENCE A SUCCESS.
Closing DIscourses BY Eminent Speakers 10
Large Congregations.

There was another large congregation
In attendance at the afternoons session
yesterday. OF the conference on St Johns
pastor, Rev. John r. Brown, presided and
the first speaker was Rev Willard Scott,
ID. D.. pastor of the Piedmont Congrega-
tional >schurch. Worcester. Mass, whose
theme was The Light OF the World"
HIS conclusion was that there has come
way OF looking at Jesus Christ which
inspires the world with its reasonableness
and points the way 10 glorious Chris
tianity In which the light OF the world Is
shining In the world for the worlds sake.
Rev. Avery A. Shaw. pastor of the
Brookiine. Mass. Baptist church, who dis
coursed on The Attracting Power OF tho
Cross" He declared that the cross is
the supreme revelation OF Gods love to
man. The cross has drawn men into the
fellowship OF Jesus Christ and has trans
formed civilization.
Rev. Frederick l.. Anderson professor
OF the New Testament Interpretation in
Newton, Mass, Theological institution.
was the first speaker at the evening ses-
sion and he dilated on the topic; How
the Gospel Was Made" He called atten-
ton TO the fact that there are five strands

life OF men.

Rev. Edwin Aionzo Blake, Phi. D., ID. ID.
pastor OF the fremont Street M Il.

The reverend speaker after dwelling at
some length on the purpose OF the Master
in washing His disciples feet. said: I'VE
are unable TO fathom the great impression
on John made by this act OF the Saviours.
Our admiration for the act Is heightened
by the knowledge that Jesus knew that
His betrayer was among the company.

His purpose by them"

Paris. Feb. lit is expected that

The overtures Of the United States
government to the powers for preserving
the neutrality and integrity OF China
during and after the hostilities between
Russia and Japan are attracting wide
spread attention. United States Ambas-
sador Porter conferred lengthily with
Foreign Minister Delcasse Tuesday and
again yesterday. The results have not
been made public. II does not appear
probable that an accord OF the powers
can be reached at the present time owing
to the differences OF views and the con-
centration Of attention upon the actual
events OF war. IL is practically certain
that France will not take any action
which could possibly be construed as en-
barrassing TO Russia or az seeking TO
coerce her concerning the integrity OF
China.

DARK HORSE BOOM FOR

CAUSING LITTLE GOSSIP

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, April 21.-The following
statement was distributed in the Indiana
colony to-day:
'.Col. Charles Arthur Carlisle's friends
are again endeavoring to persuade him to
enter the gubernatorial race. They claim
that with a three-cornered fight now i'm
minent i'm the state convention the South
Bend man would win and prove the most
available and acceptable candidate.
They claim that Colonel Carlisle would
meet with favor with both employer and
employee. ss he has made close study of
from entanglements that would injure a
Republican nominee.
Colonel Carlisle is the managing director
of the Studebaker Bros Manufacturing
Company, president of the American
Trust Company, and is one OF the largest
employers of labor in Indiana. He is a
young man in his fortieth year, ardent
Republican and is closely allied with all
important movements, civic, state and
national, and his friends believe would
make an ideal candidate If he could be per-
suaded TO run.

hands of the correspondents by Duane Fox,

Much is said in the newspapers about college

there is a thing more fundamental than their

FLAW IN THE PARKER
CONVENTION PLATFORM
German and Hearst Supporters
Think Hill Bid for Corpora
ton Support.


Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, April H.-The German
and Hearst supporters among the Demo-
a quandary over the New York Democratic
platform. Repeated conferences were held
last night and to-day to consider the sit
uation and attempt to check the tide
which the New York Endorsement unmis-
takably gave to Judge Parker. The rock
on which the Democrats are splitting. and
on which German and Hearst supporters
expect 20 rally their friends through
out the country is that section
of the New York Democratic platform
which says that corporations chartered
by the State must be subject TO just regu-
the opposition to Parker to be the bid Of
Parker and Hill for the support of the
corpora ton influence in New York. which
has manifested hostility toward President
Roosevelt for his active efforts TO enforce
national laws against state corporations
engaged i'm violating the law while doing
interstate business. This view of the case,
taken by some of the Democratic leaders.
has caused dismay among the enthusiastic
Parker boomers In the House.
liz is in the House that one hears the
most clamor on the part OF Democrats
for the enforcement of the national laws
against trusts. House Democrats Insist
that there is abundant law on the statute
books TO bring 10 justice every trust in
the country. state or national. The sug-

The Democrats of New York have plainly
not struck a keynote in their platform. On
the contrary that document is chiefly sig
nifcant for the things it does not say. There
is no declaration in favor of sound money,
for. instance, and if Judge Parker is to be
a candidate he will have no standing, ex-
cept a soundmoney advocate. AT least.
he will not have the support of the gold
Democrats, without whose cooperation
this year there is in holding a party
convention. Democrats have been particu-
larly clamorous against trusts. but the
declaration of the Albany platform on this
subject is very feeble. There is, in fact, an
air of insincerity about the entire docu-
ment which is dscernible even to news
paper organs, and they are beginning to
resent it. Leaders of the party outside of
New York, who have been looking TO that
State both for a candidate and an issue,
are evidently to be disappointed in the
latter hope. And, according to present APP
pearances. if they get their candidate they
will not be able to work up any ardent
enthusiasm about him. Judge Parker is
rather a cold proposition for the yearning
Democratic heart.
