NEW ELECTION TO BE HELD.
Terms Upon Which Shiloh Church
Troubles Were Settled.

By agreement of counsel and the oppos-
ing factions in the church, after the
troubles of Shiloh Baptist Church, colored
were aired before Chief Justice Clabaugh,
in Equity Court No. yesterday, 1t has been
determined that the election, at which a
new board Of trustees and deacons will be
chosen and q minister elected to fill the va
cancy caused by the resignation of Rev. J.
Anderson Taylor, will be held the evening
Of the fourth Friday in the present month,
November q. When both sides accepted
the compromise suggested by Justice Cla-
baugh yesterday it was understood that the
faction backing Rev. Taylor would be per-
mltted to retain the new board of trustees
ana deacons elected at meeting Friday
evening, October 20, while the opposition
would he given the privilege of selecting
speakers to fill the pulpit temporarily until
a permanent selection could be made.
This was erroneous. in that the compro-
mise effected permits the new board of
trustees and deacons to reign until the
election three weeks hence, and to fill the
pulpit. with the provision that Rev. j.
Anderson Taylor shall not officiate in any
capacity before that date. Rev. George w
Lee has been chosen to preach at the MORN
ing service at Shiloh Church at II o'clock
tomorrow morning.
Mr.. John Lewis Smith, of Archer & Smith,
counsel for the faction opposing Taylor
made a statement this morning in which
he declared that the sole purpose of his
clientS was 10 SecureNa revocation even of
the apparent reelection of Rev. Taylor to
the pastorate of Shiloh Church by the
partisan meeting of October %. By the
compromise suggested by Justice Clabaugh
which was subsequently adopted, he said
1t was felt that a decided victory had been
obtained because that action had the effect
of severing Rev. Taylor's connection with
the church by the going into effect Of his
resignation under date of November 1.
'Our whole fight" said Mr. Smith, has
been against the retention Of Taylor in the
passionate, and it was feared that the ac-
tion of the meeting Of October 20 in voting
for the withdrawal of the resignation might
put technical barrier in the way Of the
selection Of new pastor.
AT the present time Taylor's resignation
stands as having been accepted and his
connection with the church ceased after
November ]. The rules of the Baptist
Church require a majority of three-fourths
Of the vote cast to confirm the election OF
a new pastor, and such majority, our clients
are sure. can never be secured by the sup
porters of the deposed minister for Rev. J.

TRIAL POSTPONED.
Case Of William Davis, Alleged Book.
maker, to Be Considered Nov. 10.

The trial of William Davis of New York
for violation Of the District gaming laws
by making book at the Benning race
track, set for Monday next, before Justice
Stafford. in Criminal Court No. /, has been
postponed until Tuesday. November 13 next.
two days before the opening of the fall
meeting at Benning. The postponement was
agreed upon between District Attorney
Baker and A. S. Worthington. counsel for
the accused.
From what is known of the case 1t is
probable the trial will occupy the attention
Of the court for two or three days Under
the circumstances it is expected that de-
cision will not be reached before the open-
ing of the Benning race meeting. In that
event it is expected the uncertainty a. to
the outcome of the prosecution of Davis. in
volving the legality of making book at Ben
ming, will cast a damper on the enthusiasm
usually created by the return of the ponies
to the Benning circuit. In the event a de-
cision is not reached in the Davis case be-
fore the opening of the coming meeting, it
is expected that District Attorney Baker
will direct the making of additional arrests
each day at the Benning track to the end
of the meet or until the Davis trial is ended

Too Great for Eulogy.
from tho Rrooklyn TimeS

Since the days when Demosthenes thun-
dered against Philip Of Macedon there has
been no such scathing. blistering indictment
which ElIhu Root, Secretary of War, hurl-
ed against William r. Hearst in Utica yes
terday. 1t was a masterpiece of cold, cruel
vivisection, of scathing sarcasm and fer
vid denunciation. 1t revealed Murphy's
candidate in all his moral deformity, I'M
yelled his gross hypocrisy, disclosed the fall
sity Of his professions and held him up to
the scorn of honest men as the inciter of
anarchy and the apologist for murder
Mr.. Roots speech is too compact for
summarizing, and too great for eulogy. 1t
should be read in every household in the
state. and it's effect will be clearly appar-
ent in the election returns next Tuesday

Applied to Pennsylvania.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger
There has been in recent years no more
terrible arraignment than that which Sec
rotary Root made of Hearst, the incendiary
demagogue, in Utica Thursday evening.
He spoke the avowed representative of
the President, and he spoke with all the in
cisiveness and severity suitable to a public
peril. Nobody in America has per-
ceived more clearly than the Presi-
dent and Mr.. Root the dangers which
follow corrupt politics and fraudulent adj
ministration; and 1t must therefore be a
base calumny to intimate that the Presi-
dent would Willingly give aid or comfort
to the organization which through long
years, from the day of Quays exploits
down to the Capitol looting, has been SOW
ing the seeds of distrust on which the
Hearsts thrive.

An Insult to Suggest Sympathy.

From the Springfield Union
Is President Roosevelt for Hearst and
Hearstism? 1t is almost an insult to
the President to ask the question, yet we
have right to ask it, because Secretary
Root at Utica last night discussed 1t and
told exactly where the President stands in
this New York campaign.
There isn't the slightest possibility to mis-
take the meaning of that speech. If the
voters of New York will read it they will
understand, if they ever had any doubt
about 1t, that President Roosevelt, instead
of being for Hearst is against him with all
the intensity of his nature. He despises
him for what he Is. demagogue mot
guiltless Of McKinley's DEATH

An Appeal to Reason.
From the Boston Advertiser.

The American people trust Theodore
Roosevelt. The voters Of New York trust
Theodore Roosevelt. The message that
Elihu Root brought from Washington,
therefore. is well worth the attention of
the whole country. 1t Is an honest and
heartfelt appeal to the sound, reasonable,
clear and sober common sense Of the aver
age American citizen by one who has no
personal advantage to gain and no axe to
grind. Theodore Roosevelt is a man whose
devotion to his country, whose patriotism,
whose honest love for the best interests of
the people. no fair man will doubt His
message delivered through his Secretary of
State was not a piece of politics. 1t was
rather an appeal to reason, by man who
would rather see his party right than see
1t dishonesty successful

An Unmasking.
From the Newark Evening News.

The political support, formally expressed
in this exigency, of the Roosevelt policies
in their exact spirit and definition by the
great state of New York, is felt to be of
overwhelming importance to the future of
the Presidents administration. A part Of
this Is effected in the stripping from a
pseudo reformer of the mask and plumes
in which he would make faces and play
political antics a worker in the same
lines, wherein Mr.. Roosevelt has stamped
his name on history, and wherein his flu
ture Is committed to still more sweeping
effort.

ton. The letter is in part as follows:
you understood me correctly to say that
! a man who manufactured his own product
and went through in some form the pro-
cess of manufacture In the space he occu-
pied would be permitted to sell his own
goods to limited extent in the manufac-
lures building for a concession which
averages usually Is per cent OF his gross
receipts
II did say. however. that we had refused
all forms of jobbing agencies or merchants
to sell in the manufacturers building prod
ucts which they purchased themselves. for
the reason that IL We allowed your friends.
who / know only too well would be high
grade in every respect, and whose exhibits
would be an ornament to the building. to
sell In this way. there would be nothing %
prevent our having to allow fake concerns
to do likewise; and I Furthermore stated
that up to this time it has not been decided
to permit that form OF selling in the build
ing, but that it might be practicable TO
modify that ruling to some extent before
the exposition opened.
Advantages Pointed Out.
81 feel, therefore. that if your Washing
ton friends would come and have the bcne-
fit of our audience of six. eight or ten mil
lion attendance to sell their products to for
delivery from their places in Washington
on from the factory they would get
full return of the cost of their investment
