OF v. R. HEARST

Chicago. Sept. A-The Tribune says:
Members of the Chicago branch of the
Independence League will make a Pilgrim
age to New York this week to attend a
conference on Friday which they hope will
make William Randolph Hearst the Demo-
cratic candidate for president Of the
United States in 1908.
The advertised purpose OF the confer
ence Ia to arrange for making the INDIE
pendence league national organization.
The present plan. as outlined yesterday by
one OF Mr.. Hearst's friends, is for the
New York meeting TO call a national con-
vention, TO which all branches OF the
league shall send delegates. This conven-
tton will be empowered 20 name candf-
dates for president and vice-piesident OF
the United States.
This convention Will be held In advanse
OF the national Democratic convention. so
that the league can adopt its platform and
name its candidates before the Democrats
meet. The plan Is to hold u ahead OF the
Democratic state conventions also, so as
TO be an object lesson TO these bodies and
make them hesitate about instructing
delegates for any other candidate than
Mr. Hearst.

ANGLO-RUSs|AN
CONVENTION
IS RATIFIED

st. Petersburg. Sept. 23.-Ratihcations
OF the Anglo Russian convention took
place at the foreign office here today.
The Anglo Russian convention, which
was signed in st. Petersburg on Aug. 81.
regulates the respective interests OF
Great -RrItala- and Russia in Tibet, Az
ghanistan and Persia. II particularly de-
fines the line oE action which the two
powers will follow In the three countries
mentioned. In Persia the spheres of in
nuence are definitely fixed. Russia main
tains her position liz the North, and
Great Britain In the South.
The other governments interested in
Persia have been assured that the con-
vention does not threaten the integrity
OF the country, and does not interfere
with the vested interests of anyone. For
this reason the question of the Bagdad
railroad is left TO future negotiations be-
tween the powers, including Germany
and France. The convention guarantees
the maintenance OF the present position
OF Tibet and Afghanfstan, each of the
contracting powers agreeing not to en-
deavor TO obtain any advantages In these
fields which might rebound to the disad-
vantage of the other.

NOTED CORNELL SCHOLAR
ANSWERS THE POPE

Ithaca. N. Y. Sept 23-Prof. Nathaniel
Schmidt. Cornell's noted biblical scholar
and student, answered the pope's ency-
lical against modernism In an address be-
fore a large gathering of students and
townspeope yesterday morning.
He declared that the pope's list of errors
afforded the basis for a general platform
for liberalism. and he outlined them in
detail
In Prof. Schmdts opinion the gather
ing of the worlds liberals In Boston this
week will result in the organization OF re-
ligious liberalism throughout the world.
The platform OF liberalism, he said, must
insist on scientific teaching. the search for
truth in past history. science, religion and
philosophy. All liberal professors and
ministers charged with modernism should
be kept right where they were and be
backed by all liberals The press should be
absolutely free and all teachers and relig-
ious leaders should have thorough
knowledge of every phase OF religion and
other studies. Freedom OF study Is the
answer to the papal bull. Religious con-
ferences should also be encouraged, as
discussion kills authority.

In this connection. II is alleged, a plan Is
already under way TO permit all persons

Third, Fourth and Tenth wards and
claim to be Democrats TO vote, despite
the protests of those who ordered and
put through the enrolment and despite
the sworn obligations OF the caucus war
denS and clerks under the caucus law.
THE FINAL RESORT.
A third. and the final resort, is to put
third city and assembly ticket In the
field, and then do everything possible at
cratic nominees by voting the Republi-
can ticket, while using the third ticket
as q stalking horse To attract those

testimony as given at the inquest revealed
a very inefficient knowledge of the car or

as TO the real cause OF the accident One
opinion as given was that they did not
know what the traube had been or
whether or not previous to the accident
the brakes were In perfect order. The
general conclusion was that the motorman
lost his head. which would seem TO be a
lame and impotent excuse and unworthy
OF an intelligent mechanic. Another
opinion. allowed that they examined only
for one defect and accepted blndly the
word of another for various faults, An
other who examined the car after the coll
iision, noticed only the position OF the re-
verse lever and concluded that the motor
man failed TO reverse his power and thus
avoid cillision.
UNCERTAIN KNOWLEDGE.
1T appears to have been a matter OF
uncertain knowledge on the part of the

ly their cars were inspected or when this
particular car had been inspected or
whether IL was inspected at all; they pre-
