The President carried his own Bible,
and in beginning his address, read Sc
lections from the sixth chapter of Mat
thew, the epistle to the Corinthians.
and The epistle to James. No verbat-
i'm report of the address was made,
but the President last night dictated
the following as the substance of hia
remarks:
Brother Bowman has spoken of the
fact that | have had a large expert
ence. l think that each one of us
who has large experience grows to
realize more and more that the essen
tials of experience are alike for all
of us. The things that move us most,
the things of the home, Of the church,
the intimate relations that knit man
to his family, to his close friends, that
make him try to do his duty by his
neighbor, by his God, are in their es-
sentials just Inc same for one man
as for another, provided the man is in
good faith trying to do his duty.
81 feel that the progress of our coun.
try really depends upon the sum OF
themselves, but especially upon the
the efforts of the individuals acting by
themselves but especially upon thesum
of the efforts of the individuals acting
in associations like this for the better
ment of themselves, for the betterment
of the comm unities in which they
dwell. There is never any difficulty
about the forces of evil being organ
lied. Every time that we get an organ.
ization of the forces that are painfully
striving for good, an organization like
this, we are doing our part to Offset,
and little more than Offset, the forces
of evil.
Reads Several Texts.
81 want to read several different
texts which, it seems to me, have es.
pecial bearing upon the work of BROTH
erhoods like this, upon the spirit in
which not only all of us who are mem
bers of this brotherhood, but all of US
who strive to be decent Christians, are
to apply our Christianity ON week days
as well as on Sundays:
"The first verses want to read can
be found in the seventh chapter Of
Matthew, the first, sixteenth, seven,
] teenth and eighteenth verses:
"First-Judge not that we be moi
+ Judged
: "Sixteenth-'Ye shall know them By
their fruits. Do men gather grapes Of
: thorns or figs of thistles?'
tree bringeth forth good fruit, but 3
corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit
"Eighteenth-tA good tree canno,
& bring forth evil fruit, neither can {
corrupt tree bring forth good fruit"

stage in the famous Gaynor and Greene
case was completed when Justice Davidson
to-day dismissed the fugitives' application
for a writ Of prohibition against all proceed
ings before EItradition Commissioner Uric
Lafontaine, on the ground that his appoint
ment by the Dominion Government and not
by the Provincial left him without jurisdio-
ton in the case.
Justice Davidson's Judgment was a COM
plete review Of the Canadian extradition
laws He pointed out that the operation
Of extradltion treaties belong In a marked
degree TO the central government. Al
though the extradition act had been In
constant use since 1903, this az the first time
the question Of its constitutionRllty had
ever been raised, and this long acquIes-
oenoe in the law by the Provinces was fact
Of some importance.
Gaynor and Greene were brought before
Judge Lafontaine this afternoon, when their
counsel announced that an appeal would
be taken from Justice Davidsons decision,
and he also fled a protest against Judge
Lafontaine going on with the case, assert
ing that he was disqualified. az ha had e1-
pressed an opinion that the accused should
be extradited and also had shown III feeling
toward the prisoners. Tho Judge reserved

TIC RAMS FERRTBOAT.

Columbia, Just Out From Repairs After
Collision Last summer. Again struck.
The ferryboat Columbia Of the Wall
street line was in collision with the tug
George Elder OF the Brown a Fleming Con-
tracing Co. just before 5o'clock yesterday
afternoon. When the ferryboat started
from her slip on this side the usual signal
OF one long whistle for the right Of way
was given. The pilot says that the tug,
coming down the Fast River, answered.
But the ferryboat was hardly clear Of the
clip when the tug struck her just forward
Of the cabin, carrying away four feet Of the
guard.
Several hundred passengers were on
board. but a bad scare was averted by
the prompt ASSURANCES given by the officers
OF tho boat that no serious damage had
been done. James j. Robbins, % years
old, OF ii3 West Fifteenth street, mate OF
the tug. while trying 20 push the tug away
from the feuybost had his left arm
crushed between the two boats.
The tug was only slightly damaged.
She put In al Pier A. and Robbins was taken
10 the Hudson street hospital. The Co
lumbia was struck by the Sound steamer
City Of Lowell last summer in midstream,
but managed 10 get 20 the Brooklyn slip,
where she sank. Since that time she has
been entirely rebuilt. and only began run
ming again last Tuesday.
