Special Correspondence of The Star.

ROCKVILLE, Md, November IL, 1906
There is said to be a probability that the
Chevy Chase Club, which was indicted a
year more ago for an alleged violation Of
the local option law, will escape prosecution
at the term of the circuit court which be-
gins here tomorrow morning. The indict-
ment was found on the testimony of
Deputy Sheriffs George Mullican and Ed
ward Bradley, who raided the club house
and confiscated quantity of liquor, which
has since been securely locked in a cell at
the jail here.
The reason assigned for delay in the
trial is that States Attorney Robert B.
Peter has been unable to have summonses
served on the proper persons. 1t is de-
clared that Mr.. Peter has used every eff
fort to get the club into court and that the
failure is not his.
Several terms of court ago DIR. Loring.
who was at one time chairman of the
House committee appeared in court in
answer to a summons, but the return was
quashed by Judge Henderson on the ground
that DIR. Loring, at the time the summons
was served. was not an official of the club
he having resigned short while before.
Mrs. Mary f. Moore, wife of William w.
Moore of the Sandy Spring neighborhood,
died this afternoon at ''Amersly,' the home
of her son-in-law, Tarlton b. -Stabler. She
had been ill several months of an affection
of the heart. Her husband and the follow
ing children survive her: r. Rowland Moore
and Mrs. Tarlton B. Stabler of Sandy
Spring anu MIS-. D. l. NJ. ADAMS OF CdtOnS-
vile. She also leaves three brothers, DR..
Francis Thomas, Edward P. Thomas and
John Thomas, and two sisters Mrs. Benja-
min II. Miller and Mrs. Granville Far
quhar. all of the Sandy Spring neighbor-
hood Mrs. Moore was sixty EIGHT years of
age The funeral will take place Tuesday
from the home of Mr.. Stabler.
Among the cases of interest to be tried at
the November term of the circuit court for
this county, which convenes here Monday
morning. is that of Col. Mahlon A. Winter
of Washington, who was recently fined $50
by Mayor John A. Garrett of Glen Echo for
an alleged infraction of the automobile law
of that town, and who appealed to the cir
cult court. There is believed to be every
prospect that the fight will be a lively one.
A number of Washington lawyers will rep
resent Col. Winter. while States Attorney
Robert B. Peter will look after the inter-
ests of the other side. If the decision Of the
circuit court is adverse the case will, 1t Is
stated. be taken to the Maryland court of
appeals.

FRENCH BANK OFFER.
Quite. Willing to Let England Bor-
row Money!

PARIS, November 12.-The Bank OF
France informs the Associated Press that
its refusal to discount American bills must
not be regarded as directed particularly
against the United States. The rule applies
to all foreign, bills to which less than two
French signatures are attached. 1t Is
pointed out that the measure was designed
to protect the French market. where money
is at 3 per cent, against the demands of
foreign markets where the rate Is to per
cent. s------
The Associated Press also secured con-
firmation of the offer of the Bank of
France to duplicate it's loan operation to
the Bank of England on the occasion OF
the Barring failure in 1890, when $3.50 900
was borrowed by the Bank of England on
exchequer bills guaranteed by the Roths-
childs. 1t is not considered likely, how
ever. that the Bank of England, unless that
Institution is extremely hard pressed, will
again subject itself to the humiliating crit
icism that the transaction evoked.

in front Of the Church of the Convenant,
but at the instance of residents of WASH
ington Heights the site on Columbia road
was selected instead. 1t had been also
intended to formally dedicate the statue
October Is last. but an accident which pre-
vented the completion of the granite ped
estal necessitated a postponement of the
ceremony. The matter is in the hands of
the Society of the Army of the Potomac,
of which Gen. Mcclellan was commander,
and it Is practically settled that the dedica-
ton will take place in May next.
The pedestal. which is of fine polished
granite, is now under treatment at the con-
tractors works In Brooklyn, N. Y, and
will be shipped to this city and put in posi-
ton as soon as completed.
Meanwhile the bronze equestrian group
will be kept in seclusion at the Washington
navy yard and will not be exposed to the
view of the public until 1t Is formally un-
yelled next May. 1t will, however. be
erected soon after the pedestal is ready to
receive 1t. and will then be shrouded in
canvas until formally unveiled.

Presbyterian Clergyman Assails the
endless Torment" Dogma.

A dispatch from New York says: Every
idea of endless torment in the future state
was declared to be "a rotten derelict rolling
on the ocean of time" by the Rev. DR..
Samuel T. Carter. who last evening dis
embarked from the Cunard Line steamship
Carmania, on which he had made a safe
and pleasant voyage from Liverpool.
The Rev. DR.. Carter. a Presbyterian
clergyman for many years, has been at
lacking the Westminster confession. He
Is the father of the movement which final
ly resulted In the removal of several aus
textiles from the creed of the denomination
to which he belongs. He has several times
been on the verge of prolonged heresy tri
ais, but the charges against him have been
relegated. He has been abroad with his
family for the last thirteen months. His
latest views are the result of much care
full thought and are embodied in a re-
sumo which he prepared just before his
departure from London.
There is one great dogma" said the
clergyman, that chiefly hardens mems
hearts against God and wells from them
HIS beautiful goodness, the dogma which
the confession frankly calls the endless
torment of the wicked and which remains
still the doctrine of the Presbyterian
Church. I believe it to be. on the whole.
the most pestilential error that was ever
propagated, sufficient of itself to make
mans life utterly miserable and to veil
tHc "Iioie cTedlion III SdchciptH. ber
Heve that neither war, famine, nor Desti-
lence has caused so much misery in the
world as this single dogma. with it's ter
ror, despair, insanity and suicide. and. be-
meath all, it's constant brooding horror
mo malignant demon could devise any
thing more dreadful: We should be very
slow to impute it to a good God. A world
Of intelligent men has utterly rejected the
doctrine of endless. torment. Why should
not the church free itself from the shame
OF perpetuatfng this remOrSeleSS cruelty?"
The Rev. Dr. Carter said that although
he believed there was some punishment In
the future state. he did not at present wish
to state his views.

appointed several months ago a member of

scented himself and was duly installed as
a director
The members of the board are prepar-
ing to take up the matter OF securing for
the home larger and more sanitary build
ing. in which a hospital ward and other
necessary features can be added. bill
appropriating the necessary amount has
been before Congress for several years, and
there Is said to be strong sentiment in
both the Senate and the House in favor
Of the purchase Of home to be owned by
the government.
1t is said that an effort will be made to
bring about the purchase Of a building CEN
trally located in this city. or the erection
OF one that will meet the needs of the In
stitution. Efforts have been made In the
past to induce Congress to purchase the
old Scheutzen clubhouse on the It'll street
road. or Brightwood avenue. but some OPP
position developed to the proposition to To-
cate the temprary home in the suburbs, the
opinion prevailing In some quarters that
the institution should be in the city proper.
At the recent national encampment of the
United Spanish War Veterans in this
city the project of new home was heartily
and the secretary Of the national
committee on legislation, Capt. ]. Walter
Mitchell was instructed to urge Congress
to pass a law for the purchase or erection
of q temporary home. Other organizations
have taken similar action and strong eff
forts will be made to bring the matter to a
this winter.
