Isn't time to get Thompson out of the

drunk that Tremaine anticipates no in

Miss Croydon.
"She arrives promptly, despite the
rain, and we can imagine that the dia-
logue which followed was not of a

Thompson Ia aroused by the voices

Iremaine. At any rate, Tremaine
picks up the iron pipe and knocks him
down; then In sudden black frenzy
of anger, remembering Australia, soc.

shoots him through the heart. That

Ven.IOn u Doas with Vlcc-PresIdPnt.
INDTANAPoLIs. Nov. 2s.-Leadlng Rspub-
hcans who are keeping tab on the Indiana
political situation say there has been a very
decided increase in the sentiment for Gov.
Hughes of New York i'm the last six weeks.
and that II Fairbanks were not a candi-
date the New York Executive would have
tho major part OF the Indiana delegation
TO the national convention
They report that the sentiment for
Hughes seems to have increased in about
the same ratio that sentiment in favor
Of the President for a third term has de-
creased. and they constrle this to mean
that conservatism is making more rapid
strides in the State than the friends of
Fairbanks ON one hand and tho friends of
tho President on the other believed pos
sible six weeks ago.
There is evidence. they say. that the
Roosevelt Third Term League. which has
headquarters in Chicago, has either gone
to pieces or has concluded 20 cease its ef-
forts till conditions are more auspicious.
for no one is at work in this State for the
President and no attemDt is being made
toward affecting an organization for him.
H. 10 also apparent. they assert. that no
systematic work is being done in behalf of
Gov. Hughes. but In all the cities of the
State and in some of the rural dstricts
the tendency 10 consider him the mos. avail
able man the Republicans can nominate is
so pronounced that it cannot be ignored
even by those who would shut their eyes
to 1t.
The deduction is made from these con-
ditiOns that the selection of delegates to
the national convention cannot be made In
this State without some concessions TO the
Hughes sentiment either in the way OF reso-
lutions, to which the Fairbanks men would
never consent, or to admitting to the delega-
ton some men who would be for the New
Yorker In the event that Fairbanks could
not win the nomination.
The friends Of Gov. Hughes are there-
fore expecting some quiet work to be done
as soon AZ the new State central committee
organizes In January, and out OF 1t will
come an agreement by which Hughes will
be made the second choice Of the delega-
tiOn without a contest.

RECTOR ATTACKS PROF. JAMES.
DP. wall Discusses Modern Errors I'm Sermon
&C Dedication Of -. NEOnlCaS.

The larger part of the upper East Side
put on its holiday clothes yesterday and
went to the Foman Catholic Church OF st.
Monica, in East Seventy-nnth street. TO a
triple celebration. In addition to the
Thanksgiving services Archbishop Farley
dedicated the new church and consecrated
its marble affairs. The solemn high mass
which followed was celebrated by Mgr.
James Y. Hayes. chancellor Of the diocese
of New York, whom Pope Fius has just
rsised TO the highest rank oS the Mon
signori. This was the first formal cclebra-
ton OF the honor given to Chancellor Hayes.
The sermon was preached by DIR. Wall,
rector of the Church OF the Holy Rosary.
and dealt with the Pope's PASTORAL letter
on modernism. Dr. Wall spoke Of the
three great errors" mentioned in the papal
letter. He likened the new systems" and
isrs to borers in the forest, uselessly de-
ssroying the roots Of noble and useful trees.
Taking UP modern agnOsticism. Dr. Wall
attacked Prof James Of Harvard AS
against Spencer, I wish to quote FrOf.

of education in mechanical principles and

mental IDEAS his whole wooden system as

And yet Spencer IL far superior in in
telIect TO Prof. James. All that he has
said of Spencer could be handed bac';
with double force to Prof. James, and his
little materialistic, ignorant and undignitied
system, which is a hybrid Of pantheism,
materialism and American commerGialism
at its cash value.
-Immanentism" the indwsiling OF all
things and God in us as constituent parts.
OF our being-Dr. Wall characterized as a
said a form Of Spenoer's agnosticism
and was a marked error" Of the twelfth
century as preached by Ahelard.
-fmunanentism is a relic Of Fichte, OF
Sohelling and He9el. all disciples Of Kant, in
the eighteenth century" Dr. Wall con-
tinued: There is nothing new in them but
their name. You can traea them from Rrah-
manism and from PythagoraS 10 the nomi-
nalists OF the twelfth century and sceptics
-Pragmatisrn. the third error" Dr. Wall
said, "or that theory which measures re-
ligiOn, theology and all systerns Of phi
losophY by their cash value, is. to borrow
Prof. James's own dignifled words. out
Of plumb and out OF key and out OF
whack. and he has no business to speak
up In the universes name.
I'm his book 'Pragniatienn' Prof. James
shows no indication that he has read any
ot the great philosophers and theologians
never states their principles correctly. In
fact, the ignorance Of Catholic philosophers
and Catholic theologlAns is the most strik-
ing characteristic Of slI the modern inventors
OF theories and systems. And these sys-
tens are destroying the hne arts, poetry,
religion and idealisn."

but Gen. Bingham after a week or two
withdrew them and informed the company
that it would have to do its own policing.
Mr.. Shonts said yesterday that the special
policemen would mostly be occupied in ia
Cilitating the movement Of trains. He
has found that the increasing dificulty
Of getting the maximum number of trains
over the subway lines, particularly in tho
rush hours, is largely due to the length Of
train stops at such points Of congestion as
Fourteenth street and the Grand Central
at has been noted," Mr.. Shonts said.
that after a train is loaded to its
maximum capacity passengers often stand
half on the platform and half on the car,
trying to force their way into the car when
10 is impossible to do so, thus rendering
II impossible for the tTainmen to close the
doors and pass along the signal for the
train to proceed While the company has
equipped its stations with a number of
platform men to assist in closing the car
doors many passengers knowing that these
men have no authority 10 arrest them,
persist in delaying the train by preventing
the closing Of the doors.
The company has provided a RIfficisne
number Of trains TO operate the IT. to its

ing trains and thus reduces the carrying
capacity Of the road at the expense Of thou-

dated and more quickly transported but
FOR the stubbOrnness OF the few people.
in order therefore that the greatest
possible number Of people may be accom-
modated and the best practical facilities
afforded the special policemen will not
allow any passengers TO board a train after
the signal is given for the train to start
and will assist the trainmen in promptly
closing the doors. This order will be
rigidly enforced and any person who un-
necessarily delays a train by preventing
tho trainmen from closing their doors the
instant the starting bell rings will be subject
to arrest. The new order OF things will
permit the running Of more trains, and it
