THE NEW PRAYER BOOK
CHANGES MARRIAGE
SERVICE
PRESDYTERIANS OBJECT
Book is an InnOyatiOnin the
Church, it is Claimed


Special to Daily Leader
New York. May 1O.-The book Of
general worship has just been publish
ed with the authority OF the Presby-
terian general assembly For three
years special committee on forms
and service Of the general assembly.
headed by the Rev DR.. Henry Van
Dyke, has been working on the new.
prayer book.
The approval of the general assem-
bly, to the innovation was not secured
without a struggle, as many Presby-
terians object to any form" in the
church. 1t is expected by many Of
the leaders that some churches will
refrain from using The book, but IN
the east and in the large cities of the
country it Is expected to be generally
adopted.
In many particulars. the book Of
common worship has points OF similar
ity to the Episcopal bok of common
prayer The marriage ceremony in
the book omits the word obey" to
which SO many have objected, and 1t
also omits the reference to the
worldly goods" with which the man
and woman in some marriage forms
endowed" each other
It is noted that although the book
was planned long before the San
Francisco calamity. one OF the pray
ers It contains is especially applicable
to that disaster. and shows how care
fully the book has been arranged TO
meet unusual circumstances. The
prayer reads
Almighty God. who art very pres
ent help in time OF trouble. let not the
heart OF Thy people fail when fear
cometh, but do Thou sustain and com
fort them until these calamities be
past, and since Thou knowest the
cause and reason why this grievous
disaster OF earthquake and fire that
has fallen upon men. so do Thou heal
the hurt and wounded, console the be-
reayed and afflicted. protect the in
nocent and helpless and deliver any
who are stIn in peril for Thy great
mercy sake, Amen"

At the conclusion OF the dance Senator

In Oklahoma women are allowed to
vote in all school elections except one.
The exception is the couEty high school.
The law providing for county high

shall be permitted TO vote for or against

THAW TRIAL is DELAYED.
Lawyers Arrange to Take Dispositions
Of Several Witnesses.

Of Several Witnesses.
New York, Dec. 5.-Proceeding be-
fore Justice Newberger, in the crimi-
nal branch of the supreme court, yes
terday brought out the important fact
that the state expects to use the testi-
mony of Mrs. Harry Thaw's mother
and sister and brother against Harry
Thaw when he is tried for the MUIR
der of Stanford White.
1t also developed that it may be
months before the case can possibly
be taken up. Instead of starting in
January, it is now certain that the
trial cannot possibly be got under way
until much later date than that, per-
haps as late as the spring or summer
of 1907. Thaw must remain in the
Tombs without bail until that time.
The disclosures came to light in
the course of the argument over the
application of Thaw's counsel for q
commission to take the evidence of
two witnesses who are out of the
state, Thomas Caleg and Truxton
Beale, both of whom are in California.
1t would be necessary to name a
commission to trave! from New York
to Pittsburg, thence to California and
thence to South Africa to secure the
dispositions of the various witnesses.

EMiaRAhTs ARE SAID TO sE.
PICKED MEN WITH MILITARY
EXPERIENCE. aaa
UNCLE SAM READY FOR war
OFFICERS OF ARMY AND NAVY
ARE NOT IDLE IN TIMES OF
PEACE.

Honolulu, Dec. 5.-Indications are
cropping out that the Japanese who
have been arriving here for some time
past, as we'll as those who have been
granted passports and who will arrive
in the future, are picked men with
military experience.
1t is said that there are at least
100000 Japanese in Japan ready to
come to Hawaii. The laboring classes
of Japan are beginning to hear of the
opportunities they are told exist here
and are showing desire to come.
Uncle Sam Not Uaprepare1.
Washington, Dec. 5. Nothing
which has been said in the whole
range of comment on the possibility
of war between the United States
and Japan has surprised certain
Washington officials so much as the
seeming unanimity of opinion in the
country that we are utterly unpre-
pared for fight with the Orientals.
This nation is not entirely unpre-
pared for hostilities with Japan or any
other country.
Congressman have cone into Wash
ington from every district and all OF
them seem burdened with the belief
that if trouble comes with Japan the
Philippines will be lost to lis, tempo
rarily at least, within a month.
Will Not Take Philippines.
The japanese will not take the Phil
ippines, or if they do they will be sue
cessful in an exploit that will bring
them such honors of war as few peo-
pie. before their time have borne.
Officers of the United States army
and navy whose duties lie along GER
tain lines of preparations are not idle
in times of peace. There is counter
plan for every possible plan of attack
on our possessions, or on our fleets,
which Japan might attempt. The army
and navy staffs are not publishing
their secrets, but American taxpayers
who are providing their salaries may
rest assured that the officers of the
army and navy will know how to give
the country and the country's posses
sions protection when the day comes
for protection.

CURIOSITY COSTS TEN LIVES.

Stranger in Laboratory Mixed Plague
Germs and Cholera Serum Tubes.
Manila, Dec. 5. - An investigation
made at Bilibid, where ten prisoners
who had been inoculated with chol-
era serum recently died, has disclosed
traces of plague germs il the dead
bodies. No formal report on the re-
suit of the investigation has. been
made and the government has reach
ed no decision in the matter.
It is asserted that tubes containing
plague germs and others filled with
cholera serum, which are SO much
alike that it is almost impossible to
distinguish them apart, were mixed
in the laboratory by visitor who ex-
amined the plague germs, and by mis-
take placed them in a rack with the
serum tubes. This is said to have
occurred during the temporary abb
sence of DIR. r. P. Strong. It Is posi-.
bic that DR.. Strong may resign.
