CHURCH UNION FAILS.
Proposition Of Presbyterians to FEEDER.
afe is aid an fbA Shelf

Proposition Of Presbyterians to Feder-
ate is Laid on the Shelf.
The forty-fifth general assembly OF
the Southern Presbyterian church ad-
journed at Fort Worth, Texas, Friday,
Moderator Plunkett declared the con-
vention dissolved at $3.50, and at tn
same time called the next session to
meet a: Greenville, S. c., at II a. m,
on the third Tuesday in May, 1905.
The discussion Of the question Of
federation with other branches of the
church was long drawn out, and when
the end came it was as far from final
settlement as at any time during the
debate, which preceded the vote.
There is an irreconcilable element in
the church that forcefully manifested
itself, which is opposed to federation,
and there is an element slightly
stronger that favors it, but neither
side could muster the necessary
strength to definitely settle the mat
ter.
In the end, the question, by vote
Of SO to 81, was merely referred back
to it's committee, to which were add
cd three members. The committee
was instructed to bring another plan
Of federation before the next assem-
bly,.

Philadelphia Chief Executive
Forces Officials Out.
lNSTALLS HIS OWN MEN
War Over Leasing Of City Gas Plant
Reaches an Interesting and Acute
Staae-Peop.e Are With the
Mayor in His Contention.

At Philadelphia Thursday Mayor
Weaver took forcible possession OF
the Offices Of director Of public safe
ty and director Of public works.
Neither Director Smyth nor Direc-
tor Costello offered serious resistance.
Four detectives are now on guard at
the offices.
Accompanied by his counsel and
four detectives, Mayor Weaver went
to the Office OF Director Of Public
Safety Smyth. He informed that Of
fetal that he had been dismissed
and that his presence in the Office
was a trespass. Director Smyth with
drew from the Office.
The mayor placed two detectives Ii
charge, and then went to the Office
Of Director Of Public Works Costello,
where the same ceremony was re-.
peated.
Mr.. Costello also quit his Office and
detectives were placed in charge.
Rumor was current that the repub-
ucan organization leaders intend to
impeach Mayor Weaver. With this
end in view, it is said, special meet
ing Of selected council will be called
for the purpose. Malfeasance in Of
fee is the ground upon which the
Impeachment proceedings will bs
based. The organization leaders claim
they have the proof to sustain the
charges.
A writ Of special supersedeas was
granted during the day by Chief JUS
t,ce Mitchell and Justice Potter Of
the supreme court to former Judge
Gordon, counsel for Mayor Weaver,
in the injunction proceedings brought
before Judge Ra,ston in the court OF
common pleas to restrain the mayor
from removing from Office Directors
Smyth and Costello. The writ re-
moves the Injunction granted Wednes-
day and allows the directors to re-
sumo their duties.
Acting On the writ Of supercedeas,
the new directors at once assumed
charge CT their Offices.
In the meantime the supreme court
investigates the matter.
A dramatic incident of the day was
the ovation given Mayer Weaver by
several thousand persons on his way
from the city hail to the Union
League for lunch. It was sensa.
tional demonstration and looked upon
by those opposed to the lease as an
indication OF the trend of popular
sentiment.

RIOTING is RESUMED.
CHICAGO Police, With Clubs and Drawn
RevoIvers, charge Mobs-Nobody
Seriously Hurt.

Rioting broke out afresh friday IN
the strike at Chicago, and although no
body was seriously hurt, there were
a number of vicious fights in tn.
lumber district, during which the po-
lice were compelled to use their clubs,
and in one instance revolvers, in or
der to disperse the mobs.
The worst fight in the lumber dis
trict occurred at Twenty-second street
and Ashland avenue, where a crowd
OF men and boys had all through the
morning hurled stones and clubs at
every passing lumber wagon. Finally,
a wagon, on which Police Officer Ba-
genski was a passenger, came along,
and the mob greeted it with the usual
vollay Of stones. They also threaten
ed to attack the driver, and the sit
uation was so serious that the officer,
drawing his revolver, fred six shots
at the crowd, which broke and fed
in wild confusion. None Of the bull
lets hit anybody.
During the evening general rioting
was prevalent throughout the lumber
district, and particularly in the ter
ritory near the intersection Of Thirty
hfth street and Center avenue. The
lumber wagons returning from making
deliveries were attacked by crowds
at every available opportunity. Large
numbers Of men, armed with clubs,
slung shots and bricks, accompanied
by jeering women and excited chill
dren, filled the sidewalks along Gen.
ter avenue, Thirty-dfth street, LOOMS
street and Archer avenue, awaiting
the passage Of wagons, which were
believed by the crowd to be un-
guarded.
At Archer avenue and LOOMS street
two trucks appeared with one police
man on each. The trucks were i'm
mediately bombarded with bricks and
stones, and scores Of air rifles were
brought into play. A bullet from one
Of these weapons seriously wounded
Policeman James Fitzpatrick in the
right hand. The two policemen drew
their revolvers fired over the
heads Of the rioters, holding them at
bay until the drivers managed to
reach their destination.
The strike spread during the day
IN a small degree throughout the
building trades. There were a num-
Der Of instances where woodworkers
refused to receive the material de-
livered by non-union teamsters and
walked out. This move in many In.
stances was made by the men indi.
vidually. There was no official &C
tion taken by any Of the material
trades unions looking to active sym.
pathetic support Of the teamsters
strike. Several of the labor leaders
in the ranks Of the material trades
declared that there is no prospect, in
their opinion, of any complies tie-up
Of the building trades by strike OF
the men. There is no movement on
foot at present looking toward a set.
tlement of the strike. Mayor Dunno
talked as though he had abandoned
hope Of a settlement.

JAIL AWAITS STRIKERS.
Heads OF Labor Unions in Chicago
Stand Chance of Being imprisoned
for Contempt of Court

Final rejection Of union teaGsters'
demands, especially those OF the e1-
Dress drivers, was officially announc'
ed a. Chicago Wednesday by the en-
pioyers. The employers demand un'
conditional surrender. The employers
sent their goods all over the city un-
der roiice protection without encoun'
tering violence.
The strife in the lumber yards
spread with great rapidity and near
ly all lumber business is at a stand
still. Some few lumber yards are
still in operation, but their volume
of business is small. A number OF
planning mill and sash and door fac'
tories will be compelled to close en-
tirely if the supply Of lumber is nos
largely increased. One cause for the
lack of energy on the part Of the
employers in the lumber yards dur
ing the day was that the city was
unable to afford drivers police pro-
lection. Mayor Dunno provided
against this contingency by issuing
a call for 1000 extra police, who will
be sworn In as soon as applications
are filed by suitable men. This will
be the second 1000 extra policemen
sworn in since the beginning OF the
strike. Sheriff Barrett also swore in
several hundred deputies, the largest
number at any one time since the
strike began.
President C. P. Shea Of the team
;ters' union, James B. Barry, busl-
less agent Of the express drivers un-
on: Bernard Mulligan, president OF
he express drivers union, and John
4. Donahue, a member of the express
lrivers' union, will appear before
Judge Kohlsaat, in the United States
court. Attorney Mayer, acting for the
employers association, will ask that
he men he sent to jail on charge
If contempt Of court in refusing to
answer questions before Master in
Chancery Sherman, which questions
hey had previously been ordered to

Twelve indicted for Murder.
The grand jury indicted twelve men
n connection with the death Of Chas.
Carlstron, the member Of the car
:iage makers union, who died az the
result of the beating he received at
the hands of thugs, hired blythe off,

OWN story.
The indicted men are George Mel

Henry j. Neuman, secretary; Chas.

To Purchasing Canal Mate
rial in Foreign Markets
is DECLARATION OF TAFT
CONGRESS Was Asked to Lay Down
Rule, But Refused, and
the President Will Act on
His Own Initiative.

The celebration Of the twenty-httn
anniversary Of the Cincinnati COM
mercia Club. closed in that city Fri
day night with notable banquet,
where the speakers discussed vital
questions Of the day. The cities which
were represented at the banquet were
Boston, Chicago, st. Louis and Clncln-
natl. Secretary Of War Taft made
the principal speech Of the evening.
The secretary said in part:
IF the Panama canal were INSIDE
the territory Of the United States, or
course all the material used on the
canal could pay duty or be bought
in the United States, but as the con-
struct;on Of the canal is a number
OF days journey from the tarih wall
of the United Gtates, it presents ex-
actly the same as is presented IN the
case Of the Philippine Islands. Now,
If congress wants to pay more than
France was willing to pay, then they
are welcome to do so, but in the aD-
sence Of a rule we feel we must carry
out the rule that applies. That rule
requires that the prices and quality
being the same, we must buy Amer
ican goods. In the absence of rule,
we feel bound by our trust to build
as cheaply as possible. We submitted
the question to congress on this line,
asking congress to lay down a rule.
II there is no rule, we must build as
business man would. Now, there
is no question Of protection or free
trade; it is merely our duty under the
law as it stands. If the rule or law
is changed, then we must change"
He then spoke of the relation of
the government to the railroads.
81 cannot but think" he said, "the
discussion which is now going on has
had a much wider scope than is nee
essary. The question is the passage
Of certain legislation and the discus
sion is properly narrowed by consid-
Grafton Of what that legislation is"
He explained the present statute on
interstate commerce, calling attention
to it's references to unreasonable"
rates, and the position Of the inter-
state commerce commission on that
matter. He stated that the measure
proposed is a very moderate measure,
and it is unfair to denounce it so se-
verely as had been done.
He believed the changes proposed
by the Townsend bill would re-
suit in good. He was willing to ad-
nit our debt to the railroads for
building up the country, but he main
tanned that that should not give them
freedom from control If somebody
must look into the justice Of. rates,
that somebody must be competent
and of authority to require reasonable
rates. Further, he held that it would
greatly relieve the courts to provide
a court to consider railroad rates.
Rebates were a matter that should
be prepared for, even though he had
been informed there were no longer
any such things as rebates. He in
sisted that the railroads should not
antagoniZe, but that they owed some
thing to the government to see that
conditions Of prosperity continued.
