APOSTLE g. BERNARD SHAW.
breaches His Brand OF Religion 10 a London
AudIence-wOuld Discard the Bible.
Special Cable Despatch TO THE SUN.

Special Gable Despatch 10 THE SUN.
LONDON, Nov. 29.-George Bernard Shaw,
in a lecture here, declared that he was
entrusted with a mission to ~enlighten the
world on the subject OF religion. Repeating
his recent contention that there is no estab-
lished religion in the world in which an in
telligent man could believe, he said that one
OF the greatest obstacles to religion was the
Bible.
Until this book could be got rid of, in the
sense in which people had spoken OF 1t for
the last three hundred years, religion was
entirely impossible in Great Britain. He
disclaimed disrespect for religion. but said
he had no respect for the rubbish which is
now mixed up with religion. He added,
-You say 1 am clever. 1t is true. l am
exceptionally clever, but few really under
stand wherein my cleverness consists. In
some things l am really stupid, but l have
a remarkable faculty which few Englishmen
possess, the faculty Of analysis.
| -The ordinary Englishman has no faculty
Of analysis. He takes religion, philosophy
and morals In a hump. This mass Of preju-
dice, when it passes through my remark
able brain, is divided. Rubbish and super
stition are divided and the religion is brought
out. My mission on earth Ia to put my analy-
sis before the public, to show the rubbish
which is checking religion and making it
impossible.
Man is religious when he has a constant
sense hat he is in the world not merely
to fulfill certain little narrow purposes
Of his own, but as an instrument of the
universal force which actually created the
whole universe. II he has got that sense
he is religious, and as a consequence ex-
tremely dangerous. What real religion
can give you 10 courage and self-ree poet.
You do not want anything else. When a
man has got that he has lost the fear Of

so KILLED IN EXPLOSION.
BIowup I'm ROburite Factory shakes Large
Section OF Germany.

Special Cable Despatch 20 THE SUN.
BERLIN, Nov. 29.-Two terrific explosions
shortly after 3 O'Clock last evening in a
roburite factory between Witten and Amen,
Westphalia, completely wrecked Amen.
Every window was shattered as far as
Dortmund, which ia five miles from the
factory, and the inhabitants fed in a panic
1t is officially stated that twenty-six
persons were killed and fifty severely and
one hundred slightly wounded. Crowds
gathered at the scene OF the disaster and
some OF the incidents were heartbreakinG.
The official figures refer to the bodies
| recovered. The dead are put unoficially
at fifty.
The second explosion killed or injured
many of the ~onlookers, whom Chemical Man.
ager Kunze had just assured there was no
further danger. Kunze himself was blown
to atoms. herman, the manager OF a
~neighboring steel foundry, was killed.
Director FRANKIE of the roburite factory
was severely injured. The Kaiser has
sent officials TO give what aid they can, and
also a large sum of money for the relief
of the suf erers. Owing to the explosion
demolishing many houses and unroo1ng
others, hundreds of persons are homeless.
The impression prevails that the explo-
sion was the work of a criminal. An out
break of fire in the factory would not neces-
sarily have caused an explosion, but in
this case the fire started in one OF the rooms
where the danger was greatest. The first
explosion took place in the mixing room.
The other was in a room that contained
800 cases OF roburite.
One Of the directors Of the factory as
serts that the explosions must have been
caused by a specially laid train. Another
explosion is expected, az there are ten
tons Of dynamite lying in the cellars Of
the factory.
The force Of the second explosion wa
sufficient TO lift bodily from the rails a
train that was standing in the railroad
station at Dortmuni. Strange to say, it
landed again On the rails.

PRESSING SPEAKER CANNON.
Ship Subsidy Advocates Urge Him 10 let the
Subsidy bill &c Through.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-Speaker Cannon,
who, with the assistance of his Committee
on Rules, controls the outlet from the legis-
lative hopper of the House, has a compre-
hensive idea of what the President desires
Congress TO do at the coming session. He
has a copy Of the Presidents forthcoming
message in his inside pocket and is studying
it diligently when there is no one around.
Az yet he is not disposed to say whether
his ideas and the Presidents barmonize
or not.
The ship subsidy people are pressing him
hard to let the subsidy bill 60 through.
He has not yet committed himself, but IL
seems probable that he will be slow to say
the word that will make it possible for this
legislation TO pass. 1t can be said with
much confidence that the subsidy bill will
not receive his approval unless the Senate
agrees to pass the Philippine tariff bill
which vent through the House last session
and has since beer tied up In committee in
on the Philippine bill to-day, the Speaker
Good men are in charge OF that bill. I
fear, though, that people say things. At
any rate / have never authorized any one
to ~nnounce my attitude toward the bill
as changed"
Some OF the Eastern Congressman are
going so far as to threaten to defeat Mr..
Cannon for reelection IA Speaker OF the
next Congress II he does not let the subsidy
bill out. Apparently the old warrior does
not intend TO be moved by threats. The
Representative Watson when he arrives
here. His vote for the bill, advocates Of
the subsidy say, would probably bring
il out of committee.

500 ON A WOLF HUNT.
Five Driven From Their LARS. but Only
One OF Them Is Killed.

WARSAW, Ind, Nov. 29.-An old fashioned
wolf hunt was pulled off in this county to-
day. Eight hundred men and boys joined In
the hunt and half as many women were
on the outskirts Of the line.
At Q O'Clock this morning people from
all parts Of the county gathered at Leesburg.
They divided into parties under four sepa-
rate leaders and a line was formed which
encircled a space about eight mile square
and contained the most thickly ttmbered
land in the county. A half hundred hounds
followed at the heels Of the hunters and
when the line was complete the hounds
were placed inside the circle and the march
began.
In a half hour one gray wolf had been
driven from his hiding place and the dogs
we're sent after him. He escaped into a
thicket of short underbrush and was lost
sight of for a while, but when he appeared
again two timber wolves were with him
Two other timber wolves were seen a little
distance away, but the four eventually
made their escape through the lane and
only the gray wolf was killed. The sport
lasted for five hours. The wolves nave been
killing many sheep hereabouts.

PROVIDENCE, r. l.; Nov. 7e.-Ethel N.
Smith, q nfteen-year-old ii i,shortly after
noon to-day shot and killed Emory Briggs,
40 years old, while he was trying 10 forcs
his way into her home on Central pike In
the town Of Johnston. The girl was placed
under arrest, but IL Ia believed that she viii
be released after investigation.
Miss Smith is the daughter OF awen-to-do

A colored woman, who. with her. three

returned within a few moments armed
with a carving knife. Finding the door
locked he broke in the panels with a club
and was reaching inside to turn the bolt
when Ethel Smith warned him to 20 away.
He threatened to kill her as well az everyone
else in the house.
The girl got her fathers revolver. Briggs
stood with his face at the opening in the
panel. Placing the revolver close to his
Face she fired Ave shots. Briggs fell 10
the steps, and the body was lying there
when a few minutes later Chief Kimban
arrived. One Of the negro children had
summoned him.
Kimball, instead Of putting her in the

own home, where she is tonight. She will
probably be arraigned in the Eighth district

FRENCH LAWMAKERS VOTE RAISE
Boost Their Pay In q Hurry Need the
Money. but May Not Get II.

Special Gable Despatch 10 THE SUN.
PARIS, Nov. 29.-A week ago the Senate
and Chamber OF Deputies voted to increase
the pay oftheir members from 1900 to $1,000
francs yearly. Although there are some
who agree that the increase is legitimate,
as the previous salary list dates from is49,
when living was much cheaper h it is
now, still the manner in which the vote
was rushed through has aroused much
criticism.
The vote was taken in less than five
minutes, Just after the houses assembled.
at an unusually early hour. The men,
bers voted unanimously by raising their
hands, thus leaving no record OF the in
dividual votes.
Since then It has become known that
242 Tor 80 per cent, Of the Deputies really
need the money, as the treasurer OF the
Chamber holds attachments on their
salaries. Unfortunately for the members
there Is many a slip between passing a law
in France and executing it. For instance,
a law was passed two years ago reducing
the annual telephone charge, the telephone
here being a Government monopoly, from
400 to 900 francs a year. Nevertheless the
price is still 400 francs because the tele-
phone administration declares that IL is
unable with the means at its disposal to
satisfy subscribers who are willing TO pay
900 francs.
To meet the salary increase the budget OF
the Chamber will need an extra $500, 900
francs for 1907. The question will be de.
bated tomorrow, when the opposition will
have an opportunity 10 kill the previous
vote by Withholding the grant. At any
rate the supporters and non-supporters OF
the increase will no longer enjoy the
privilege of anonymity.
