JERoME's NAME is REJECTED
New York Election Beard Refuses to
Place it on OmciaI ballot in
a. ,Renubiicntl .'1mp.

NEW YORK Oct. 30-A tie vote of two
republicans against two democrats, who
compose the Board of Elections, today re-
jected the republican partys request to
place William T. Jeromes name in the re-
publican column OF the official ballot as a
nominee for the Office of district attorney
in the coming city and county election. Mr..
Jerome's name is already on the ballot as
an Independent candidate. The action of
Charles A. Flammer, the regularly nomi-
mated republican candidate for this office,
in withdrawing his candidacy last week.
In favor of Mr.. Jerome, caused the repub-
lican county committee to name Mr.. Je-
rome as the partys candidate. The Board
of Elections was asked to place the name
on the ballot. Chairman Vorhis and Mr..
Mcguire, democratic members Of this
board, voted against the substitution,
while Messrs. Dady and Page. republicans,
favored 1t. Chairman Vorhis. in stating his
objections, said that Mr.. Flammer had not
notified the board in writing of his declina-
tion of the republican nomination, and that
therefore the board had no official knowl-
edge OF this declination. Moreover, he de-
clared that the law required all declina-
tions to be filed by October Is. and va
cancies TO be filled by the board on October
%, at the latest.
Later Justice Mccall, in the supreme
court, on application OF Henry L. Stimson
attorney for the republican county com
mittee. issued an order directing the boarc
TO show cause tomorrow before Justice
Slower why Mr. Jerome's name should mo-
be placed on the official ballot under the
republican column for district attorney.

WASHINGTON, Oct. SO-Among the blsh-

IN session in Washington the opinion is ex-
pressed that the pay OF the ministers OF the

Salaries paid to the clergy" said Bishop

remained stationary for some time. GEN
orally it is safe 10 say that salaries have
not advanced TO meet existing conditions.
Living expenses have been growing year

meet this situation in the material way SO
necessary even for the members OF the

We have Just come In from ride

Is luxury that is not to be neglected
at any junction, and suddenly, while
we were talking to some officers at an

meat made its appearance.
There was row toward the for

presaged a Japanese attack. and we
rushed to knoll that commanded q

serted Chinese hut, rushed half
grown pig, a shoat of the Manchurian
razorback variety.
After 1t went Cossack In hot pur-

their long brown coats tucked about

The opposite hill slope had been to
all appearances vacant and silent as
the grave, but hidden trench sud
denly gave up a party Of Japanese.
and away they went after the pig.
The Cossacks stopped, ana the jap
anese headed the pig diagonally back
toward the Russian lines. They did
not catch 1t, but fresh relay Of Rus
slams took up the chase and the pig
veered over again to the Japanese.
Not shot was fired all this time.
and the Japanese and Cossacks stood
within 100 PAGES Of each other In the

have the opportunity to do this; but
the time Is rapidly coming when all

Of men. Now then we are amba.s-
sadors for Christ, as though God did
beseech you by US: we pray you In
Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to

In conclusion, what better and more
appropriate wish can I make In taking
my leave Of you than that the God Of
love and peace will be with you all. ]
pray that He will be with these aged
persons, that they may realize In their
declining years the sweetness Of that
promise where Christ assures his dis
ciples that He will never leave nor
forsake them. In your weakness, may
He be your strength, and may you
have rich and constant foretastes OF
that sweet rest In heaven to which !
trust you are rapidly going. As you
are passing through the evening Of
life, may its twilight be the forerun.
ner Of heavens glory which Is soon to
dawn upon you.
I pray that God will be with you
who are in the prime and vigor OF
manhood and womanhood. that He
will support you In every trial anG
that He will bring you successfully
through every conflict. AS you are
battling with the stern realities Of ac-
tive life, may you feel the power and
influence Of Gods presence with you.
May you be power for good in the
church and In the world.
1 pray that God will be with these
lear young people-these young men
and women and these dear boys and
girls; that He will throw around them
the arms Of His love and protection,
that He will keep them from the evil
influences by which they are surround.
ed. that He will lead them into paths
of usefulness and happiness and that
He will call some Of these young men
and boys into the gospel ministry.
My earnest and fervent prayer is
that the God Of love and peace may

His grace and In the richness Of His
exceeding great and precious prom
