WORCESTER DON'T

RESIDENTS IN NNElGHBORHOOD OF
PROPERTY ACQUIRED ARE UP
IN ARMS AT INVASION OF THEIR
SANCTUM.

Washington. April 2s.-(Special.)-Resi
dents. of Worcester, Mass, particularly
those in the Leighborhood of Burncoat
street, are stirred up over the recent
purchase of land in that thoroughfare by
the Rev. j. II. Humphrey for a negro
college. Deeds were passed yesterday for
nearly one hundred acres to DIR. Humph-
rey. He announced last fall that he in
tended to build an institute for the in
struction of negroes In Worcester, model
ed after the lines Of Livingston college.
at Salisbury, ~ c.
He made several attempts to buy prop
erty but was either told that the land
was not for sale, or else the price was
set at prohibitive figures. After being
forced out OF Greendale. he tried other
places, but was discouraged from the
start. people thought he had given up
the project. and were amazed when they
found that he had paid $4,000 for the
Burneoat street site, after effecting a
compromise which provides that he must
build within specified time or forfeit the
site. The matter is too far along now
for any of the white residents to do any
thing unless DR.. Humphrey fails to COM
plete his title. But there is much In
dignation at the owner who sold

Philadelphia, April 2s-Dr. John Bach
McMaster' who holds the chair of history

who is one of the best known historians
in the United States, expressed himself
today as radically opposed to the prlnci-
pie of the $1o,OOo,O0O Carnegie pension

years. 1t is not a good thing and | don t

NECESSARY.

Louisville, April 2S.-"I want to be
quoted to the people and to the bishops
of the southern church who are now in
session only few squares from here, l
am for restoring the organic union of
the two branches of Methodisrn.' said
Bishop McCabe of Philadelphia at the
meeting of the board of bishops of the
M. f. church in Trinity chapel today
Perhaps I go further than NEST of
the other northern bishops here added
the Bishop. AT any rate | speak out
while SOME my associates probably have
the same opinions but are more consery-
ative in expressing them"
The bishops extended an Invitation to
luncheon tomorrow to the southern
bishops during the day, and 1t was ac-
oepted.
On the report Of a committee appoint
ed to consider the case of the Woman s
college, Baltimore, the bishops have de-
cided to take up ways and means of
raising money to clear the institution of
debt. About $3.50. 900 will be requifed Presi-
dent John F. Goucher addressed strong
appeals to the bishops that they per-

ents, has buildings worth 81 100000 in the
heart of the residential section of Balti-
more and Is one of the best equipped

Express COMPANIES Pool Issues.

The general agents of the seven ex-
press companies involved in the strike,
held a meeting this afternoon, and decided
to pool their issues on the delivery of
goods. Twenty wagons of the Adams Ex-
press company made several trips around
the downtown section in caravans from
three to five wagons each. and were not
molested in any way. Several men were
arrested for shouting and cursing at the
drivers but no direct violence was of
fered.
The express companies have had the
task in the past of transferring money
from the Pennsylvania depot and from
the Baltimore and Ohio depot to the sub
treasury in the Rand, McNally building.
Fearing that the express wagons might
be attacked or that the companies would
be unable to fulfill their contracts re-
garding the transfer of money, the local
officials notified the Acting Secretary of
the Treasury in Washington Through
him the War Department was consulted
and orders given providing for the
changed conditions The Secretary of
War wired Colonel Dugan, now comma and
ing the Department of the Lakes. to use
army wagons and also soldier guards of
the express wagons and their usual guards
cannot be used.
In The office of the clerk of the United
States circuit court tonight, 1t was said
that the express companies would proba-
bly, apply tomorrow morning for injunc-
tions restraining strikers from interfering
with their wagons.

RACING STOPPED
ON CHICAuU Track
DETERMINED STAND TAKEN BY
STATES ATTORNEY PUTS Al
cRIMP IN THE SPORT AT
WORTH THIS SEASON.

Chicago, April 2S.-Worth Jockey club
today definitely abandoned the clubs race
meeting which was to have begun to-
morrow, opening the racing season in
Chicago. Announcement that the meeting
was off was given out by Secretary j..
r. Wagner after a meeting of track
officials here today, The stockholders of
the Worth club decided there was moth
ing else for them to do but bow grace
fully as possible to the ultmatum of the
states attorney, who declared that the
laws of Illinois concerning gambling must
be observed.
Entries were still being taken at the
Worth track when a telegram from Wag-
ned announced that everything was off.
Immediately there was a morgue-lilse at
mosphere over the race track inclosure.
Owners who Were on the ground silently
went to their stables and gave orders
for a hasty preparation tc get out of
Chicago.
St Louis, it is said, was besieged with
requests for stable room, as was also

Louisville, and some of the stables will
ship their horses east
Edward Corrigan. who formed the
American Turf association in opposition
to the Western Jockey club arrived in
Chicago today from Kansas Cit. In talk
ing of the racing situation ir Chicago he
said:
Il do not believe that the majority Of
the people In Chicago want racing stopped
but since the states attorney has taken
such a firm stand the race track men
will of course, abide by that decision. 1t
looks as though 1t would mean the end
Of racing here this season at least, and
possibly during the entire administration
of the present states attorney"
Mr.. Corrigan also said that In the event
that there was no racing in Chicago the
Kansas City meeting, now running, would
be extended until June 16. On that date
will go into effect the law preventing
betting on horse races in Missouri. No
attempt will be made to race after that
date The st. Louis tracks will also stop

Must SoOthe Feelings Of Latin
Americans
MAY ACT AS PEACE MEDIUM
Is Extremely Anxious to Do All He
Can to Bring the Far Eastern
War to a Terminal
ton.

Washington, April S.-(Special. .)-Wash-
ington Is likely to be restored to the poIit-
ical map in a short time. 1t has been off
the map since the President has been abb
sent, and in politics and patronage there
has been literally nothing doing at the
national capital The announcement that
the President has shortened his stay and
soon will be speeding homeward will be
received with loud shouts of delight in,
many quarters.
There will be plenty for him to do wheg
he get here. There are a lot of pro
lens, pending and prospective, of just >
character that he delights to handle,
he will have his hands full. Central 2
South American affairs will keep
busy for awhile, and there are othS
1t is said that the approach of the
psychological moment in eastern affairs
is Fastening the return of the President
It is known that he desires to have a
hand in inaugurating efforts for peace
between Russia and Japan, and at least
to play prominent part in the negotia-
tions. The impending sea fight between
the Russian and the Japanese fleets is
expected to be followed by vigorous rep
reservations of the powers for an ending
of hostilities and President Roosevelt
wants to be in at the settlement.
Will Demand Immediate Attention.
The Venezuelan controversy especially
the Loomis-Bowen end of it. will demand
his immediate attention and 1t is thought
in official circles that he will take radical
action TO remove the i'll effects upon
American prestige of the affair 1t is ex-
pected that there will be a number of
changes in diplomatic posts in Central
and South America, and the President
will do his utmost to soothe the grow
ing irritation against the United States
in those countries.
Isthmian canal affairs will receive atten-
tion. There is said to be a geod-natured
contention between Chairman Shonts and
Secretary Taft over the matter of rates
on the Panama railway. -ecretary Taft
is reported to be advocating lower freight
rates than Mr.. Shonts favors at this time.
This subject will be taken up with the
President by trans-continental railway
men, who are deeply interested in 1t. A
decided lowering of rates on the govern
ment-owned transportation lines would
affect trans-eontinental traffic on all the
great trunk lines.
Minor Matters to Come Up.
There are some minor matters to be
taken up with the republican national
committee. Chairman Cortelyou Is anxious
to close up his affairs with the committee
and turn the wheel over to Vice Chair
man New. There is a great mass of small
rountine business awaiting the President s
attention, but it is understood that the
main objects of his earlier return are to
deal with the eastern question If 1t comes
to a head, and TO smooth down the ruffled
Latin-Americans.
