INTERCHURCH CONFERENCE.
Draft of Plan for Federation Submit
ter Today.

NEW YORK. November 1s.-The business
committee of the interchurch conference
on federation announced the draft Of a
plan for church federation at the confer
ence in Carnegie Hall today. The follow
ing are the chief points:
A federal council of Protestant churches
to meet every four years, the first meeting
to be held on December 1, 1903.
Each denomination to have four members
in the council and one extra member for
each 0000 COMMITMENTS
The council to act in the capacity of an
ADVISORY board and to interfere in no way
with the autonomy of individual denomina-
lions
The object TO be united action on social
and moral questions and to give spiritual
counsel and to promote fellowship.
An executive committee to deal with the
business of the council in the intervals be-
tween meetings
Thirty denominations are to be In the
federation at the outset and provision is
made for the admission of others
The plan will come before the conference
on Monday for action.
The inability of the Protestant Episcopal
delegates to act for their church in indors-
ing the plan for church federation was
brought to the attention of the convention
by Ri. Rev. OH w. Whitaker, bishop of the
Protestant Episcopal diocese of Pennsyl
venia. He said that the eight Protestant
Episcopal delegates present were not en-
powered to act for their church, and were
expressly directed to vote individuals.
The reason for this, he said, is that the
delegates are merely committee of the
commission on church unity appointed by
the Protestant Episcopal general convention
OF 1904, which itself had never received any
specific instructions to what steps il was to
take on promoting federation.

NEW YoRK's HORSE SHOW.
East and West Contested for Honors
Today.

NEW YORK, November 1S.-The east
and the west contested today on a close
finish for the final honors at the last day
OF the annual horse show here. The
west was represented by one exhibitor and
the east by two. William II Moore of Chi
cago, with only six blue ribbons already
won. but with prize money several hundred
dollars in excess of the amount won by
either of his eastern competitors, was
pitted against both Eben D. Jordan of
Boston, who has won eight blue ribbons,
and Mrs. John Gerken of Brooklyn who
has won seven blues.
In the first days of the week-long strug-
gle between these three 1t at first appea red
that Mr.. Moore had little chance to win.
He has steadily cut down the lead of his
two rivals until todays finish is one of the
closest in horse-show annals. While the
Chicago exhibitor has been creeping stead
lily up on the leaders, the Boston man has
managed at the close of each days contest
to be one blue ribbon in the lead of Mrs
Gerken. At some time. however. during
each days exhibition the Brooklyn woman
has caught or passed Mr.. Jordan for a
short time. In the cash value OF prizes
won Mr.. Moore has S2.335, Mrs. Gerken
81 ,645 and Mr.. Jordan 81 $50.
From the standpoint OF the admirers of
fine horses the show today had the most
interesting program of the week. 1t In
cluded the various classes Of Shetlands and
breeding STOCK the judging of hackney stall
Hons for the championship, harness classes
driven to road carts, vlctorias and light
runabouts, and the national horse show
challenge cup. These are the events for the
morning and afternoon.
Tonight the finals include the champions
for jumpers and hunters. for pairs of har-
ness horses and single harness horses, and
for the American Coaching Club challenge
cup and for road teams.

NEW YORK. November 1s.--It was an
nounced today that Atlanta. Ca, has been

tional committee. In announcing this
change the trustees said that 1t was made
lin view of the urgent need for legislation
in Georgia, in response to the demands of
the leading citizens of that state, which
came so near successful fruition at the last
session of the Georgia legislature"
In their report the trustees also said:
Eat least two million children under six
teen years of age In the United States are
employed for wages. most of whom ought
to be in school. Child labor laws lack uni
formity in different states, and many of
them are only crude beginnings at legisla-
ton. Nearly all are poorly enforced

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.. November 49,
There is but one thing which will prevent
Walter ]. Travis from becoming the winner
of the fall tournament of the Atlantic City
County Club, and that is a sudden and I'M
expected falling from the good form he has
maintained throughout the tournament UP
to noon. He won easily yesterday over
Edey. whom he played in the morning, and
Arden NJ. Robbins in the afternoon.
This morning he was matched against w.
III. Farrow of the Philadelphia Cricket Club,
and defeated him, up and to play. Great
interest is being conferred in the Travis
matches and quite gallery followed him
over the course this morning with Farrow.
and they started out pretty early.
Ideal Golang Day.
This is an ideal goIfing day. 1t is cool,
but not cold enough to make it at all I'M
comfortable. There Is quite a large at
tendance at the grounds, and the interest
Is growing as the tournament nears its end.
G. c. Lafferty, one of the crack players
of the Chevy Chase Club of Washington,
was easy prey in this mornings match
with F. 0. Horstman Of the Mercen Cricket
Club Lafferty was beaten, up and to
go, which makes Horstman the opponent of
the redoubtable Travis in the final
In the match for the presidents cup Case
defeated Snare, up and to go, and Err
nest downed McShea, up and to go.
For the Atlantic City cup Morgan beat A.
w. Tllingham, l up. and for the Mortified
cup Heltz beat Roberts, 3 up and 1 to play.
A good deal of interest is manifested in
the handicap for this afternoon, for which
many entries have been made.
1t is generally conceded that Travis will
defeat Horstman and be the winner of the
governors cup and the tournament.

YALE AND PRINCETON
MIGHTY THRoNa WITNESSED AN
NUAL FOOT BALL GAME.

NEW HAVEN. Conn, November 1S-A
mighty throng OF people. decked with bright
colors, In which blue and orange prevailed.
poured into the city during the morning
hours today to be hand early for the
thirtieth annual foot bali contest between
the universities OF Yale and Princeton. Att
tomobiles by the score, special trains on
the railroads and the suburban trolley lines
were sll vehicles of incoming traffic, and
long before noon currents of humanity
swept up and down the city streets and
fairly overfiowed into the college campus
and swamped the buildings which had been
! thrown open for inspection. The weather
was simply ideal, clear June day. with
an atmosphere in which frost was barely
suggested.
The first arrivals of foot ball enthusi-
asts came on late night and early morning
trains, and sunrise found hundreds OF
young men parading the streets and
thronsing the restaurants for breakfast.
Most Of the college fraternities and city
clubs kept open house all night. Betting
on the result of the game was largely lost
sight of, as the morning odds stood 100 to
40 in favor of Yale, and in the matter OF
scoring number of combinations made
Yale favorite at almost 2 to 1. These
heavy odds made the Yale supporters reluc-
tant to make wagers
The confidence exhibited by Princeton
men was factor that made Yale bettors
wary ABOUT laying money at the ruling
odds. The Princeton men seemed generally
quite certain that their team would at
least score.
Since 1876 Yale has won seventeen of the
twenty-nine games played with Princeton.
Princeton has eight victories to her credit
and four games have resulted in tie. In
der the system of scoring, as adopted in
1888 and slightly modified later, Yale has
made PA points in Princeton contests and
Princeton has scored 90.
From New York there was a steady
stream of automobiles along the shore road
from Greenwich to this city during the
morning, and hundreds of houses along this
route were decorated with college colors.
At Bridgeport, especially the decorations
were noticeable. About the noon hour so
many automobiles were in the streets of
the city down town that traffic was almost
congested At noon the special trains were
arriving SO close together that the visitors
poured up town in a steady stream.
The Lineup.
The Princeton team arrived shortly be-
fore o'clock and started at once for Yale
field. The lineup of the two teams for the
game is as follows

PLOTS AGAINST GOVERNMENT.
Truth in Reports Received at Havana
Today.

HAVANA, November 1S.-The truth in
the reports OF plots to overthrow the gov
eminent was revealed in part today. The
government received a confidential report
to the effect that an ostensibly vacant
house in the Cerro suburb was being util-
lied as a secret depository for arms and
ammunition, and ordered the secret police
to investigate.
The police found Al rifles 81 carbines, Is
packages each containing 1000 cartridges
and some barrels filled with ammunition
and accoutrements. Considerable suspicion
is directed toward the liberal and radical
leaders,
