President Wilson for Broad Culture
Rather Than Specialized Teachings.

In his address President Wilson said he
was not ia accord with the idea often ex-
pressed that the universities should be
made more practical and should train
young men in special business and CONNER

even for those who had business careers in
view. TO receive general training. and OBJ
tain broad ideas of life. He considered that
young men who were trained In special
lines only would enter business careers with
pre5ndiced minds.
The college man. he said. who was alb
sor6ed in nothing but making living had
no desire to obtain broad ideas of life. The
ranks of business men, he said were filed
with broad minded university gradua tes
and their influence. he thought, would pre-
vent the country from ever becoming 400

vEsUVIUs REGION FLOODED.
Torrent Pouring Down the Side of
the Volcano

NAPLES, May 19.-The Vesuvius region
was again inundated today by a torrentiai
rain, which fell so heavily that a mighty
river is now coursing down the side of the
volcano. carrying everything before 1t and
sweeping trees, lava, houses and animals
out of its path. The population is in a
state of panic.
The torrent, which Is composed In part of
mud, cinders and ashes is about twelve feet
wide and in some places as much as eight
feet deep.
Two deaths have already been recorded,
a man and a boy having been drowned. The
boy was eleven years old and the child OF
a peasant. He had been warned to fly from
the danger but insisted upon rushing in the
direction of the stream in an effort to reach
his father, who was in the torrents path
and unconscious of his danger. The boy
succeeded in reaching his father and both
ran toward safety They were, however.
taken by the stream and swept downward.
Another peasant jumped In the water to the
rescue but was also carried away. A sec
ond man rushed to give help and succeeded
in pulling the lads father and the other
man from the water, but the man was SO
injured that he died soon after. The body
of the heroic boy was flung up on the trunk
of tree a long distance below the scene

SOUTHERN METHoDIsTs
Spirited Debate on the Ritual for
RaDtiSm

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. May 19-It is now
practically assured that the general con-
ference of the Methodist Episcopal Church
south Will take final adjournment Monday
and the probability is that only a morning
session VIII be held on that day. Many or
the delegates left for their homes today
and others are greatly wearied by the long
grind.
The feature Of todays sessions were the
decision to appoint committee looking to
a revision of the ritual for infant baptism,
which will be recommended to the general
conference Of 1910 and the debate on the
resolution this afternoon, which was final
ly adopted in haif-hearted fashion. The
debate on the resolution to revise the bap-
tism on the ground that it contains Calvin
istic doctrine and that it implies "doctrinaI
baptismal regeneration" was spirited, ana
for time it looked as though the present
conference would take up the work of re-
vision.
A resolution was also adopted protesting
against the use of any property owned
or leased by the United States government
for the sale of alcoholic liquors as bever-
age.

SUIT UNDER THE ELKINs Law.
Issue Raised Over the Payment of
So-Called "Commissions"


CHICAGO, May 19.-Arguments in the
proceedings brought by the q. s. govern
ment against the Milwaukee Refrigerator
Transit Company and number of rail-
road companies under the Elkins anti
rebate law were taken up today before
Federal Judges Grosscup. Kohlsaat, Sea-
man and Baker, sitting en- banc The
proceedings were originally brought in
Milwaukee, but Were transferred to Chi
cago under the guidance OF Attorney
Charles Quarles, special counsel for the
United States.
who pointed out the "evil' Of rebating by
railroad companies under the guise of COM
missions so as to avoid prosecution under
the Elkins law.
Attorney Quarles designated the refrig-
orator company as phantom company"
He told the court of contract between the
phantom" corporation and the Pabst
Brewing Company by which the refriger-
ator concern was given the exclusive right
to control and route all shipments of the
brewery for no consideration. From March,
1904, the court was told. the Milwaukee
Refrigerator Transit Company exacted from
railroads. In addition to full compensation
for use of the ears, $4,000 in "so-called"
commissions. This meant, Attorney Quarles
commended. that the product of the de-
PENDANT brewery was transported by the
railroads at the rate of every eighth car
free.
To the defense advanced by the railroads
that the $4,000 was paid by them as COM
missions, the government lawyer asserted
the companies already controlled all the
shipments of the Pabst Brewing Company.
''The question is" said Attorney Quarles,
lis the payment of these so-called COM
missions an evasion of the intent of the
anti-rebate Iaw7"
The proceedings were taken under adj
visement by the judges, who viii announce
their decision next week.
