MINISTER ON SOCIAL SERMONS
Speaker Mt New Orleans Says Current
Affairs should BE Treated
from Pulpit,

NEW ORLEANS, April 12.-When the
third days session of the twenty-hfth an
nual Protestant Episcopal church congress
opened today the topic brought up for
discussion was What Shall the Preacher
Preach?"
In a paper on this subject Rev. George r.
Van Dewater, d. D., rector Of st. An
drew's church of New York CITY, said:
Shall the preacher concern himself in
his preaching with the social questions of
the day? Yes, II he is careful not to be
come such a faddst that he can preach
about nothing else. How, indeed, can a
man be a preacher and not be deeply con-
cerned with the social questions of the
day? Yet, ST. Paul was not forever harp
ing about the incestuOus Corinthians nor
telling women on all occasions how to ar
range their headgear when they went to
church.
rs 1t proper to refer to current literature
and the passing novel, and how passing
most novels are? Yes, assuredly, but
never let the congregation think that the
preacher knows more about the call Of the
blood or the awakening of Helena Richie
than he does about the prophecy Of
Ezekiel or the gospel according to 81
Luke"

Receiver Asked for Great Northern Rail

ILLEGAL ACTS OF COMPANY ALLEGED

Railroad.

ST PAUL, April PA bill Of complaint
in which a receivership is asked for the
Great Northern railroad by G. II. Nenner
was filed in the county court today. The
complainant asks that the agreements be
tween the Great Northern railroad and the
Lake Superior company, limited, and be
tween the Lake Superior company and its
trustees be annuled and set aside; that
all the property of the Lake Superior com
pany be transferred to the Great Northern
company or its receiver; that the Lake
Superior company make a full accounting

Northern receive Judgment from any bal
ance that may be due It as disclosed by
the accounting; that the Great Northern
and the other defendants be enjoned from
making any further purchases for the Lake
Superior company; that the Great Northern
company at once dispose Of all the securi-
ties and other properties now held by the
Lake Superior company; that a receiver
be appointed for the Great Northern.
The burden of the complaint is that the
Great Northern in forming the Lake Su-
perior company attempts to evade the
purposes OF its charter by giving that com
pany control of securities and properties
owned by the Great Northern company
which under the law it has no right to
own, particularly mining and timber lands

LONDON, April 12.-Interest in the trial

Stanford White which was at first intense

proceedings. However the unexpectedIv

novelty for the British public of the CIR

a few minutes Of the receipt of the cabIe
dispatch announcing that the Jury had
been discharged the streets OF London. in
spite Of the lateness Of the hour echoed
with the shouts Of the newsboys, the news
papers were bought up eagerly and the
people everywhere discussed with unusual
avdity the likelihood of a fresh trial.
The chief criticism heard turned upon
the comparative leniency of American
opinion toward homicides and what Eng
hshmen consider a lack Of dignity and
method in the proceedings of the courts
II has been the boast Of Englishmen that
punishment invariably followed killing here.
but Home Secretary Gladstone's leniencv
toward Horace c. Raynor the young man
who shot and killed William Whitley last
January and the unexpected wave of senti
mentalism which demanded IT, led to the
discussion as to whether the swift and
stern processes Of British law will not in
the future more frequently bend before
public opinion
only two Americans are practicing at the
British bar as barristers In the Inner
temple, where the British barristers hava
their Offices and where many of them take
their meals in common ana live sort Of
club life, the Thaw trial has excited more
interest and discussion than any legal event

most important trials in Great Britain.

said English barristers at first took a keen
interest in the case, particularly as to the
suggested pleas Of emotional insanity and
the 'unwritten law" but recently had al
most given up the attempt 20 understand
the procedure OF the court. This was in
great contrast 20 the course followed here
In the first place there was the length OF
time between the arrest and trial In
England in a similar case-for instance
that Of Raynor for the murder OF Whitley,
the trial would almost Invariably occur
within month or two Of the crime and
would be forgotten before a man would be
arraigned I'm America The greatest con
trast, however, as noted by English law
yers, was the selection Of jurors a work

BOOM BIG TRADE EXCURSION
Commercial club Committee Sending
Out Letters to business
Men.

Circular letters requesting personal par
ticipation in the proposed Great North
west trade excursion by the Commercial
club are being sent to individual members
Of the club by the trade extension com
mittee, and favorable responses are
deemed certain.
It is desired to secure at least seventy
five or 100 representative business men
for the Market town" excursion and two
thirds of the requisite number have
pledged their assistance in the movement.
The circular letters were sent out on &C
count of the inability Of the individual
members of the trade excursion committee
to make a personal canvass for enough
members to complete the quota, but the
success of the excursion is assured.
A special train Of Pullman sleepers with
private dining and observation cars will
be provided, and an orchestra or band
will be taken to enliven the proceedings.
The itinerary Of the trip as previously
published includes visits to various cities
and smaller towns along the lines of the
Union Pacific, the Oregon Short Line to
Portland. Seattle and Tacoma and the
Northern Pacific to Spokane, Montana and
the Dakotas.
The excursion will be of the greatest
benefit to the individual jobbers Of the
city as well as great advertisement for

American Jurors. In the court procedure
too.there were many Instances that aroused
the curiosity Of English members Of the
bar. one that particularly struck them
was the standing aside OF a witness to
allow a document on which he was to be
examined. TO be proved as was done with
Mrs Thaw to allow the defense to prove
Thaw's will
Here a Judge would take the statement
Of a lawyer that he was able to prove the
document and there would be no further
interruption Of the witness evidence. This
and the fact that a lawyer had to intro
duce much otherwise unnecessary evidence
for use in case OF an appeal was blamed
by English lawyers for the dragging Of
the case which they believed in England,
where there was no criminal appeal, would
have been finished within a week at the
most.
J. Arthur CARAT also has spent many
half hours since the case opened explaining
to his legal friends the meaning Of the
moves of the prosecution and defense. He
has found the chief criticism leveled at the
jury system and the apparent lack, to
Englishmen OF decorum in the conduct Of
the case To English lawyers it has to
be explained, he said, that on account Of
the right of appeal in criminal cases the
Judge could not, as would be done here
stop the long cross-examination of wit
nesses and the introduction Of evidence
which had no direct bearing on the crime
Here the judges insist that the lawyers
shall hold closely to the facts, to himself
being left the duty of deciding whether
the evidence is material without suggestion
/ from counsel and charging the jury as to
! the law.
According to Mr.. CARAT, the consensus
/ of legal opinion in London rs that the jury
would have found Thaw guilty Of murder
with a strong recommendation to mercy,
which would have meant a long or short
term Of Imprisonment at the discretion of

that there could be but one ofense and that

CHINESE FAMINE IS WORSE

Save One Life TIL
Harvest.

SHANGHAI, China, April 12-Telegrams
received here from twenty points in the
famine district report that the conditions
are growing worse.
The Chinese government and people up to
date have contributed over 100000 for
famine relief and the sums received from
all foreign sources total $500, 900, including
the supplies on their way from America.
The Chinese vlceroy and governor tele-
graphed today to the American consul, Mr.
Rodgers, their thanks for the relief sent
saying that 1t is dissipating the ant-for-
eign sentiment which animated the masses.
Confucanists, Catholics and Protestants
are working together. The telegraph Off
Gals are carrying free all messages to and
from the relief works and the steamship
companies are furnishing free Transports
ton for supplies of food etc, for the suf-
ferers. Twenty thousand famine sufferers
are employed building dams to prevent a
recurrence Of the foods.
The relief committee is sending supplies
to the front, but the funds are not yet in
its possession. Measures adopted up tC
date are inadequate. Ten million persons
are suffering from a lack of food and fac
ing starvation.
