RUSSIA SUBMITS
 PLANS FOR PEACE
SUBMITS TO PRINCIPAL POWERS, CONFIDENTIALLY, A REVISED
 PROGRAMME OF SUBJECTS TO
 BE DISCUSSED AT THE HAGUE.

Berlin, April 1.-The Russian govern rnent has submitted to the principal powers confdentially a revised programme of the subjects to be discussed at the ap- preaching peace conference at The Hague.
 Correspondence in this connection be- tween the Russian foreign office and the powers continue, the object being to reach an agreement in advance. Great Britain has not formulated a precise plan for the limitation of armaments and seems unwilling to do so, nevertheless, 1t is considered probable that discussion of the limitation of armaments will find d place in the programme, owing to the Great Brtain's insistence.
 The prize position of Germany in this connection will not be disclosed until final ly decided on but the assertions made in London that Germany will withdraw from the conference rather than have the question of the limitation of armaments discussed are unfounded.
 The United States. 1t is understood, will reserve its decision regarding participa- tion in a discussion of the armaments question the general view at Washing ton being that the United States is out side the European.

 Governor Northen.
WEALTHY MEN BEHIND II

One of the move ments is being urged by Dr. John T. White, pastor of,the-First Baptist church, who reported to the confersnce that 1t is gaining great headway.
 Five of the wealthlest men in the south," Dr. White stated, have put all they have back of this movement We contemplate the organization of all the moral forces of the south in one great body and the appointment of a commits sion, composed of the best and most learned men of the south to handle the problem and deal with the situation af- fecting the relationship of the races
 The other movement is being fostered by former Governor w. J. Northen of Georgia, who has been urging in speeches all over the state the establishment of better relationship between the races. He contemplates the selection of a state commission composed of some of the best lawyers of the state, whose duty it shall be to have the laws of the state so revised as to do away with the pres ent objections to the legal manner of try ing and punishing persons charged with criminal assault, and to provide for the punishment of the leaders and members of the mobs.
 Concluding his speech before the min isters conference, Governor Northen said the keynote of the whole movement 'ls to get the good white people and the good negroes together, and once united they will look after the bad people of both rap

MINISTERS HAVE
 SIZZLING SESSION Storm Breaks in Methodist
 Book Concern
dSHELVE CURIOUS DOGMAS"
Statement of pr. Clark, Referring to Heresy Trial of pr. Mitchell, Breaks Up the Serenity
 of the Meeting.

Cincinnati, April 1.-The Methodist min isters had sizzling session at the Meth odist Book Concern today in the regular meeting of the Cincinnati Methodist Preachers union at which meeting Rev. Dr. Davis w. Clark, after his term of two years as president. declared that theo- logical dogmas "curious and could well be kept on the top shelf" Imme- diately there was storm, mostly of pro- test. However. a few of the ministers sided with pr. Clark. The subject was so enthraling that nearly everybody present desired to voice his protest or his defense of Dr. Clarks words.
 Dr. Clark was led to make his state ment about dogmas being Curious in his reference to Prof. H. c. Mitchell of Boston university, who has been on trial before the board of bishops on charges of teaching heresy Dr. Clark said:
 T protest against the manner in which the ecclesiastlc authorities have been try ing this case.
 '.The board of bishops receive him prac- tically condemned already and with his case unjustly weakened. Here is great
  be proud, virtually exiled."
 murmur of disapproval swept over the audience at the word ''curlous,' and as soon as Dr. Clark sat down half dozen preachers tried to get the floor to voice their disapproval
 Dr. Clark said
 Now I am opposed to making any more theological definitions. God save us from them; the kingdom of God is with in you. You cannot write it in books. It is love and service and faith Our dogmas may well be kept as curlos and placed on the top shelf. We may keep them as we do our rule of conduct for preachers which we have not destroyed. But which we simply preserve as a curio. although we know it cannot be observed and enforced in this day and represents the idea of the past
 The Rev H. O. Enwall said
 ''The church will suffer an inestimable loss in casting out so lovely soul as is Dr. Mitchell"
 Dr. M. Pearson said:
 q desire to voice as strong protes. against the attitude that our creed is curio, fit for the top shelf"
 The Rev Albert Thomas followed with this dramatic statement:
 ''The action of the bishops is vicious and a discredit to the church. Dr. Mitchell Is an inspiration. If he is heretic I would like to be one like him."

GREENE AND GAYNOR
 CASE IN NEW ORLEANS
Eighth Year Legal Battle Sa-
 vannah Harbor Fraud
.EXTRADlTI0N IS ATTACKED
Argument Upon Writ of Error From Federal Ccurt Against Carload of Books Introduced By Gov
 ernment as Evidence.

New Orleans, April 1.-Entering it's eighth year of legal battle, the case of Benjamin D. Greene and John F. Gaynor. convicted of defrauding the government of over half million dollars in Savannah harbor improvements, was called Tor ar gument today in the United States court of appeals upon writ of error from the federal court at Savannah A. A. Law renee of counsel for Greene and Gaynor occupied the entire session and had not concluded argument when court adjourned for the day.
 Four salient points were made by the defense. A demurrer to the first indlct- ment for conspiracy was argued It was pointed out that when this indictment came up before Judge Brown of New York he condemed the first eight out of the ten counts, while later. when the same indictment came up before Judge Speer of Savannah the latter condemned the two counts which Judge Brown had sustained, while sustaining the eight counts which Judge Brown had con demned.
 Next the famous extradition of Greene and Gaynor was attacked. It was ar gued that they were eAlTdolled rom C"i- ada for participation in fraud by an agent or trustee. In Savannah, however, MT. Lawrence said, they were tried upon charge of conspiracy and this amounted to trying them for d different offense than they were extradited for. As for their indictment for embezzlement, It was claimed that the proof In the Sa- vannah court showed that the alleged payment of money for their use occurred in New York city. The defense contended therefore that only the courts of the Southern district of New York had juris- diction in the epbezzlement charge and that the Savannah court had no jurisdic- tion.
 The last point in todays argument was the use of at least car load of books of brokers, trust companies etc, which the government introduced into evidence at Savannah the defense claimed, with out either introducing the presons who made the entries or proving their death or naccessbility.
 The defense contended that this i'm mnese mass of testimony was inadmissi- ble in a criminal case because 1t violated the defendants constitutional right to be confronted by witnesses. and allowed inc introduction in evidence of ex parte. unsWorn statements of the persons who made entries without the defendants hav- ing had the right of cross examination.
 The other attorneys for the defense are p w. Meldrin and w. ~. Osborne, and those for the government Marion Erwin of Georgia and w ". Howe, United States attorney for the Eastern district of Louisiana.

GOULD ARRIVES.
Will Compete for International Court
 Tennis Championship.

London, April 2.-All the morning news papers announce the arrival last night of young Jay Gould, who will compete here for the international court tennis cham pionship. Last year MT. Gould was beaten by E. H. Miles, who has decided not to contest this year owing to busi- ness engagements.

OVER ONE HUNDRED
 DESIRE TO SPEAK
AGRARlAN PROBLEM IS UP IN THE RUSSIAN RLIAMENT-QUES- TON IS NOT AS IMPORTANT AS IT WAS A YEAR AGO.

St. Petersburg, April 1.-The discussion of the agrarian problem, to which the first Russian parliament almost entirely devoted it's legislative activity, began in the lower house today. Over hundred speakers immediately signified their in tention of participating in the debate, to which, according to the plans of the par liamentary leaders, only one day per week will be devoted. The question is consid- cred to be of far less importance than 1t was last year. The real work will mainly be done by the committee to which the various projects will be refer red. The project of the constitutional democrats which was introduced today is practically identical with last years draft
 It involves the compulsory appropriation of all estates above established maximums to be determined in each province by com missions created for this purpose. The bill as presented contemplates individual ownership, whereas the project of the group of toll, which also was reintro- duced. proposes the naturalization of all the land in the empire.
 The national socialists introduced a bill repeating all Premier Stolypin's temporary agrarian legislation, but this probably will be allowed to die natural def .a in com lnittee. The first speaker ay was Prince viatopoll-Mrsky, anarchist sanddard ownar of Kessarsbi.. ne made d long speech in defense of individual property, quoting literally from Amer jean and English authorities on the sub ject. Prince Vassli-Chikoff, minister of agriculture, speaking in behalf of the cab met, outlined the governments agrarian program, laying down as an ultimatum the maintenance of the principle of the inviolability of private property.
 Prince Xassilichikoff promised a series of measures increasing the quantity and raising the level of the cultivation of the peasants land.
