If the church does not speak out

his sermon "of what use is the
church," This is dangerous doctrine,
even in Newburg; it is fatal in New
York. 1t smacks Of primitive Chris

Mr. Huntington. who, though well

to suppress the spread Of Mr.. Chew's
heresy among the younger clergymen.

The cashier tremblingly scraped to-
gether all the cash in sight and Jor-
dan rode away unmolested to his
ranch on Bird creek. Later in the
evening Jordan sent word to Cashier
Colburn that he was $500 short, and
the bank officials are now wondering
if the desperate man intends to return
for the additional amount.
After Jordan's first fight it was an
nounced that he was indebted to the

flight reported only nineteen horses
left there.

larger than at any previous congress
and includes delegates of National
Trades and Labor Councils, National
Trades and Labor Unions, Independent

labor unions not controlled by foreign
labor organizations.
One of the most important subjects
which will come up for consideration
will be a plan for the naturalization
of the Canadian labor movement. The
question of the incorporation of trades
unions will also be fully considered
and matters in connection with arbi-
tration in trades disputes will be
thoroughly discussed. A demand will
be made that arbitrary strikes and
lockouts shall cease. Another subject
which will receive attention is the
question Of immigration into Canada.

WORK OUT OF CIVIL SERVICE
Friction Between Commissions i
Ended, Many Men Available.

OYSTER BAY, Sept. 12.-At a con-
ference between President Roosevelt
and United States Civil Service Com
missioner Alfred w. Cooley it was de-
cided to practically take the employ
ment Of labor for the building of the
Panama canal out of the civil services.
The wishes of the canal commission,
which has constantly complained of
the civil service obstacles in the way
of securing men for isthmian service,
have thus been acceded to at last
1t was decided to allow Chairman
Shonts of the canal commission to ap-
point agents at New York, Chicago and
New Orleans to pass upon the fitness
of applicants for canal service. These
agents will be made members of the
local service at their respective points.
The examinations for this kind of en-
ployment will be along lines laid down
by the canal commission and will be
far less strict than those of the regu-
lar civil service.
This step does away with constant
friction between the canal commission
and the civil service commission. Ever
since the president placed canal labor
on the civil service lists the canal
commissioners have complained of the
difficulty of getting the kind Of labor
they wanted for canal construction.
The civil service restrictions barred
out thousands of men who were just
the class needed on the isthmus. The
step taken today places canal employ
ment on a practical basis and is ex-
pected to result in an enormous in
crease in the canal working force for
the coming. winter season.

TURNED OUTLAW BY TRUST.
Once Big CattIeman, Now Bank Rob.
Der, BIames the Packers.

GUTHRIE, Okla, Sept. 12.-Once a
prominent cattleman of the Cherokee
Indian nation, Tom Jordan of Collins
vile, I. T., has turned bank robber, and
he lays the blame for his transforma-
ton upon the beef trust.
Armed with revolver, he entered
the First National bank of Collins
vile and forced the cashier to surren-
der $1,000, which ne claimed was due
him for cattle he had sold in Kansas
City, but which the bank was holding
pending a settlement of ownership.
Jordan is now a fugitive and the bank
officials are unable to find him.
Jordan asserts that the machina-
tons of the beef trust in forcing the
turn outlaw. He recently became
financially involved as the result Of the
low prices of cattle, 1t being necessary
for him to secure large loans with
which to carry on his business. Early
last July he shipped thirty carloads of
cattle to Kansas City from his ranch,
and then ne disappeared, leaving many
creditors. Some of the cattle, it is
said, belonged to a Texas cattleman
named Gatewood.
Back for the Money.
Several days ago Jordan surprised
the people Of Collinsville by returning,
and it was reported that he had set
tied with all his creditors and would
remain in the town. But Jordan had
other plans. He wanted $1,000 that
had been held by the Kansas City
commission house which sold the cat
tie for him and had placed in the Col
linsville bank awaiting a settlement
of ownership with Gatewood. He
made several demands for the money
and was each time refused.
In his desperation Jordan visited the
bank, takingsIra Butts, a former en-
plOyee with MIN. Pushing Butts in
front of MIN Jordan forced him to go
behind the counter. Then, leveling his
revolver at Cashier CoIburn, Jordan
said:
You give me that $1,000 belonging
to me or I'll kill you right here. If
you haven't got $500 at hand give me
