RAP,S CHRISTIAN SCIENCE.
Il Crusade against Cult Being
Started ON Upper West Side.

A crusade against Christian Science doctrines
has been begun among the pastors of the churches
along the upper West Side. The movement has
been gaining headway for the last year, and this
fall win be definitely organized. At the Riverside
Baptist Church, Ansterdam-ave and West 92d-st-
whose book against Christian Science has just
been published, discussed last night the evils OF
the Quit. In introducing him. the Rev. DR.. a. Lin
coin Moore pastor of the church, said:
unscientihc, unchristian and immoral 1t has late
ly been my painful duty to bury few of the
dupes of the cult finally cured Of Eddyisn.
DR.. Pease said all Christian Scientists were self
hypnotized. For further information against the
cult he directed his hearers to the book counter
at the entrance. where his work might be pur-
chased. He followed by the Rev. Dr. H.
Wood, secretary of the National Temperance So
''To accept the so-calIed Christian Science would
be for me to declare my Saviour a fraud! he cried
1.-The scientists deny the existence of sin, and it
for the purpose of overcoming sin that He
lived. Science and Health contains nothing but
the Yageries Of a silly old woman. l regard the So
called Christian Science the greatest humbug of
the age Il
After the meeting Dr. Moore said that he, with
the Rev DR.. Pleasant Hunter, OF the Fourth Pres

TO ACT ON IMMIGRATION.
CiUic Federation to Name Committee
of 100 ON Distribution.

The question of agitating for a better dstribu-
ton of the immigrants who come to this country
was referred yesterday by the New-York Civic
Federation to the executive council of the National
Civic Federation which will appoint committee
of one hundred to carry on the agitation. The
executive council will meet in this city in a week
to be appointed by the committee of one hundred
from the various local branches throughout the
country AS soon as it is organized it will arrange
for a national convention the immigration ques-
ton early in the fall.
This action was the result of the special meeting
immigration. The following statement was made
general executive board of the National Civic
Federation:
The Civic Federation is not in favor of restrict
thoroughly discussed by men who were able to
talk with authority Before the meeting was
called had talks with officials in the immigration
depar rtment, and found that the popular idea
that immigration largely increasing and that
Europe was dumping its undesirable people in this
country was erroneous. l found from my talks
with these officials that instead of encouraging
emigration to this country. European countries
were trying to keep their people at home, as the
pest element were leaving. L was also told that
s5 per cent of the people who coming here as
here, and that there is great demand for labor
In the West and the South l was further told
that instead of increasing. many people seemed
to think. the volume of immigration in proportion
TO the population was decreasing.
All this was confirmed by speakers at the meet
ing who from their positions and opportunities
problem which will be considered at the coming
national convention will be- not the restriction Of
Immigration. but the intelligent distribution of the
immigrants who come here to make the United
States their country.

PLAN HER EXECUTION.
Governor, Sheriff and Superntend-
eat Confer ON Rogers Case.

Windsor, VT, June 20.--Governor Charles }.
Bell Sheriff Henry II. Peck and Superintendent
w. S. Lowell OF the State prison. were in con-
ference for several hours this afternoon with
reference to the arrangements for the appointed
execution on Friday of Mrs. Mary M. Rogers. AT
this meeting it decided the Vermont statutes
would be followed as far as possible as to their
provisions for executions, and particularly as 10
the law that only twelve citizens of the State
shall be summoned as the official witnesses of
an execution. Nevertheless the conferrees took
into consideration the possibility that the latest
legal step to stay the punishment of Mrs
Rogers might be successful, and the arrange
ments therefore were not of the definite char
acter which they would have taken on were 1t
certain that Mrs. Rogers was to die on the gal
lows on Friday. Nothing done in the way
of selecting the twelve men who would serve as
the official witnesses, this being left open pend
ing the result of to-morrows hearing on the
writ of habeas corpus which has been issued
in behalf of Mrs. Rogers.
Superintendent Lowell said tonight that he
had been ordered by United States Marshal
Bailey to produce Mrs. Rogers before Justice
H. II. Wheeler at D. m. tomorrow at the
Windsor courthouse Sheriff Peck received
similar notification. At this hearing counsel
for Mrs. Rogers will present reasons why the
condemned should be permanently re-
leased from prison. Should the court refuse to
grant the writ permanently 1t is considered
likely that an appeal will be taken to the
United States Supreme Court.
Mr. Finn the attorney, called on Mrs. Rogers
to-day and explained to her the various parts
of the writ which had been issued In the case
He told Mrs. Rogers that there was some hope
that the court would grant a postponement of
the execution. This information came at
time when the woman was suffering greatly
from an operation her teeth, and relieved a
night and morning which were marked both bv
mental distress and physical pain. After the
conference this afternoon it stated that
nothing definite would be fixed until
after the court hearing tomorrow.

Vide Democratic Opposition to Dis
franchising Amendment.
[Ry rELEGRAPH no rHE rR1RuNE.I

IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TR1BUNEI
Baltimore. June 20-The German Democratic
organization managers are alarmed at the revolt
among Democrats against the negro disfran-
chising amendment to the constitution. The
opposition of Governor Warfield, Attorney Cen
eral Bryan and many leading Democrats is
chiefly against that feature of the amendment
which permits election officials to turn down
white as well as negro voters. The Talbot
County Democratic convention refused to in
dorse the amendment. Other counties are ex-
pected to follow. Every Democrat in the city
of Baltimore will he asked within the next ten
days or so to sign a protest against the amend
ment and declaration of his intention to vote
against 1t.
This is the first attempt to organize the op-
position in this city against the amendment, and
it is being confined strictly within party lines
1t marks the formal Inauguration of a campaign
within the party against the amendment, and is
the result of the widespread opposition among
prominent Democrats.
