distinguished visitors. Knowing that it was

tiles are silent on the subject.
The Chapel of the Good Shepherd is the
headquarters of the Cathedral Mission work,
carried on in this city under the direction
Of Bishop Henry Y. Satterlee, who is the
rector of the missions. Its work and SerV-
ices take place in a very unpretentious lit
tie one-story structure which, however, is
the foundation for proposed large and
handsome church, to be erected as soon as
the money can be raised.
As Private Citizens.
Starting in as any other young and mex
perienced teacher, young Theodore Roose-
Welt won a place for himself in the hearts
of the teachers and scholars of the school.
Today he Is an active worker. Last Sun
day was the first he has not been present
for many months.
He did not join the school with a -four
ish, but quietly, and it was some weeks, it
is said. before the members knew that the
son and namesake of the President of the
United States was in their midst. 1t is
limited even now that there are some who
are not aware of it. Mrs. Roosevelt has
come to the mission in the same unostenta-
tious manner, endeavoring to distract all
possible attention from herself. And when
the President himself has come, 1t has been
in his wife's private carriage, by a round
about route, and entirely unannOunced, eH-
cept perhaps to the pastor.
The President and Mrs. Roosevelts pur-
pose in doing this is pretty clear. Their
son Theodore, who was away at school in
Massachusetts last winter, has been study
ing with private tutor in Washington this
winter They have, of course, wished to
have him attend Sunday school. The Pres
ident's church, the Grace Reformed, and
Mrs Roosevelts church, st. Johns Epis-
copal, are both located in the fashionable
section of the city, where the public al
ways knows what is going on. They wished
to avoid publicity for the boys sake, so on
the advice of friends they hit upon this
worthy, struggling little chapel, of Mrs
Roosevelt's denomination, away out in the
northeast section. This was their oppor-
tunity and they have guarded it well, until

1t is rumored that the President Will

WORK OF RECHABITES
JOHN B. HENDERSON TENT TO BE
INSTITUTED.
Former Senator Henderson, for Whom
Organization is Named, to Make
Presentation Speech.

1t is claimed with a great deal of eXulta-
Zion upon the part of the leaders that the
Order Of Rechabites has been increasing its
membership at a very rapid rate during the
past six months, especially in this city.
Not content with it's past work, the High
Tent officers have planned a great demon
stration at the institution of John Il. Hen
derson Tent No. 1859 in Concordia Hall to-
morrow evening. High Chief Ruler John
c. Moore has requested that the charter be
in readiness, and the fourteen tents in the
District have expressed determination TO
be present during the ceremonies.
The following tents will participate in the
proceedings: Harmony, No. LG2O; Jehu, No
-; Wrath No lob; Advance, No. 1909;

Former Senator John b. Henderson in
honor of whom the tent has been named,
Will present the charter of the new tent in
specially prepared address. The old
school of politicians recall that Mr.. Hender-
son was one of the seven republicans who

Representative Henry r. Gibson of Ten
nessee will receive the charter on behalf of
the tents officers. He has been a lifelong
abstainer and made many speeches in be-

ago, and while the same was defeated I'M

Although the boys club is intended to be
for the boys in the winter season what the
public playground is in the warmer days of
summer, 1t does not confine its attention to
indoor work By late fall of last year the
summer gardens of the club, which were
worked by twenty-one members of the club
under the expert supervision of DR.. III. w.
Lawson of the Department of Agriculture,
were brought to close for the season by
the harvesting of the various crops. About
twenty bushels in all-turnips, parsnips,
cucumberS tomatoes, beetS, beans, besides
parsley, sweet corn, ETC., were raised in
the two gardens at 31st and 32d streets.
Some $50 shrubs supplied by the Agrcuitu-
raj Department were distributed among the
boys for planting at their own homes.
AS might be supposed, the boys at large
take far more interest in athletics than in
agriculture. Nor is this important side of
a vigorous boys development overlooked
by the club authorities. The red and white
jerseys of the Washington Boys Club teams
are beginning to be known and respected
among the boys Of the District. During
last summer three base ball teams were
maintained by the boys club. The senior
and junior mines and younger team
known as the Potomac Stars played on the
Monument grounds.
In the fall the first boys club foot ball
team was organized. 1t was coached by a
college graduate experienced in the game,
who drilled the boys not only in the rudi-
ments of foot ball, but in the infinitely more
important elements of discipline and sports
manlike conduct. Thanks to a generous do
nation. this team was as well equipped as
any boys team in the city. Out of eight
games played 1t lost but two.
In all these ways, whether it be by music,
games, agriculture athletics, the club is
slowly but surely getting a strong hold on
several hundred boys who could not other
wise be reached. Little by little. 1t is
hoped, their plane of life will be raised.
Uplifting without sign on it, is the
motto of the association. AS Jacob A. Riis
said at the meeting of the Associated Char
tiles in 1908:

THE LOS Won ROM MOVEMENT.
Largely the Religious Emancipation of the
People of Austria
To the Editor OF The Tribune

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: In the communication of the Msrquise de
Fontenoy IN to-day's Tribune there is refeIence
to the Los Won Rom" movement in Austria. which
might leave the impression in the minds of some
readers that t is merely political in its nature, and
that, the writer says. under the mantle OF
evangelical propaganda it is in reality away from
the Hapsburg rule movement
Without entering into the political aspects OF the
case. in which Americans generally not much
interested permit TO say that the Los Won
Rom movement is largely religious emancipation
from the Roman Catholic Church. accomplished by
the people themselves. and is recognized in the
official statistics published. During the last five
years more than forty thousand Roman Catholics
in Austria have declared their change of faith from
Roman Catholicism to various forms of Prot
estantism, In which may be included the old Cath
olic movement as independent Of Rome. The
statistics for 1sO4 are not vet at hand, but from
statements the press ii be gathered that the
religious movement is making progress. instead of
waning. These converted Catholics in Bohemia,
Moravia Styria, SaZburg and the Tyrol have not
only united with the Protestant churches in the
various communities, but in many towns churches
have been built for their accommodation.

William through the Prussian Minister of Public
Worship. forbidding the State Church of Prussia

RATE MAKING POWERS OF CONGRESS
President of Boston and Maine Railroad De-

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: The Tribune in its issue of the nth inst.
prints an editorial upon my recent address TO our
locomotive engineers in regard TO the rate making
powers of Congress.
If the writer OF this editorial had taken pains to
read all that I said TO the purposes of the
makers OF the Constitution and the interpretations
that have since been made by the Supreme Court
Of the power Of Congress to regulate interstate
intercourse l think the editorial would have been
considered unnecessary. My reference to this sub
ject was, as clearly stated. purely historical, and
almost Immediately after making the statement
which The Tribunes editorial quotes 1 said. The
Supreme Court has since then so broadened by in
depreciation this meagrely stated power OF Con-
gress and enlarged its authority interstate
intercourse that IL exercise. with ap-
parently lawful authority control its mnutest
detail We can, therefore, only accept the situa-
ton II exists, but each may for him
self investigate and form his opinion TO the
extent TO which this enormous and perhaps un-
pTecedented, power ought to be exercised. and in
what way individUal~ and general interests are
likely TO be thereby benefited or put in jeopardy"
