THE MORAL STRAIN.
Discussion Of Question by American
Church Congress.

NEW ORLEANS. April 12.-At last
nights session of the American Church con-
gress Of the Protestant Episcopal Church
there was a discussion on the moral strain
in Social and Commercial Life
Rev H. C. Garrett Of st. Louis said that
the question of regulating corporate wealth
was the first source Of strained conditions
and the second was the widespread de-
parture from 1.-The simple to the artificial
mode of living
Speaking on corporate wealth, he said:
TT Is a remarkable fact that nearly
100000 families in this country average
in holdings a little less than $500 each.
while not over 100000 families possess one
half the entire wealth of the entire country.
Out of the total annual income of the ma
ton one-half goes to one-tepth Of the peo-
Pile The other half is divided among the
remaining nine-tenths.

The railroad situation continues to
occupy the public mind There is a
plan on foot now to curtail Harri-
mans power. The latter has bought
another railroad. Michigan has
passed a 2-cent rate bill, and yester-
day there was other interesting court
and legislative proceedings.
NEW YORK, April 12.-Some Of the di-
a material reduction OF the extraordinary
powers conferred upon It's president, Ed
ward H. Hartman.
At present the executive committee has
all the powers of the directors when the
latter are not in session. and Mr.. Harri-
man has all the powers of the executive
committee when that body is not In session.
In other words, Mr.. Hartman can do as
he pleases. except for the few minutes once
a week once month when the COM
mittees are in session. He has a power
of attorney and could sell the millions upon
millions of the securities Of other roads
owned by the Union Pacific when and at
what price he pleased, or ne could hypothe-
cate the securities. borrow tens of millions
on them from bankers. and engage In stock
market operations on a colossal scale Or
he could buy at fancy prices, with the
Union Pacific's millions. thousands Of
shares of stock held by himself and othe:
directors.
Some New Blood.
In the hope Of appeasing the Union
Pacific stockholders and eliminating the
public distrust In the securities of the
r-;v 10 to mt
some new blood in the executive commit
tee, reorganize the body and adopt resolu-
tions taking away from Mr.. Hartman some
Of the powers which have provoked so
much criticism.
Asked yesterday what he thought of
this plan, Mr.. Hartman said smilngly:
1T Is fine idea.
Twill it be put through
Il don't know anything about 1t, eX-
cept that 1t is a fine idea. l don't know
who originated it
Il suppose 1t will relieve you of many
burdens?' hazarded the inquirer.
viii 1t? VIII ft?'' said Mr.. Hartman.
in his sharp, jerky style, adding with a
smile, 1T is a good idea
II has been suggested to put two men
on the committee in place of Marvin
Hushitt of Chicago and James StIlman.
who Is i'll In France. The plan IS to nave
those who are thoroughly loyal to MI Har-
riman In the opinion of Wall street men
the plan Of reform Is merely a pretext to
restore public confidence in the Union
Pacifc's management
Prick for Retirement
There have been rumors fer several days
that Henry C. FriclI believes Mr. Hartman
should retire from the presidency of the
Union Pacific. but H. H. Rogers is firmly
against any such plan. and that "iiliam
Rockefeller is on the fence.

syivania house Of representatives yesterday
adopted the Howard bill placing three mills
tax on ton ON anthracite coal The bill
now goes to the senate. 1t will add 81, 0OO.-
Ooo year to the state revenue. There was
a bitter fight over the bill on the ground
that 1t would Increase the price of coal to
consumers
Advocates Of the measure argued that as
only 70 per cent Of the anthracite mined in
Pennsylvania Is consumed in this state, the
burden would fall largely On outsiders. The

6S3S-Among the newest fads displayed
by the young matrons and girls is the
ribbon girdle and bretelles which go on
over the shirt blouse and dress 1t up won
derfully. These accessories. which are so
easily made and so inexpensive, are most
fiattering In effect, as they invariably
broaden the shoulder line and lend taper
to the waist The bretelles shown are
broad enough TO be shrred bit the
shoulder and al the belt SO as to avoid any
tendency to stiffness The shoulder por-
lions consist of two pointed tabs held to-
gether with narrow velvet straps and tiny
pearl buttons. Not only ribbon. but soft
silks, velvet and satiny fabrics are en-
ployed in the making of them, and whether
they be elaborate or plain remains with
the owner to decide. These accessories
usually match in colog the skirt with
which they are worn. For the ladies'
size yards of ribbon 6 inches wide are
needed.

BIyGHAM'S GUN RAID
New York's Crusade Against
 Concealed Weapons.
STARTED BY MURDER OF POLICEMEN

I Tcmbs damned With over Two Hun- ! dred Foreigners Who Carried Hid- 1 den Arms-Nesro Goes to Sing
 Sing For Three Years.
 NEW YORK, April 1s.-- There is no halt in the crusade against those per sons who insist upon carrying con cealed weapons and who tend to i'm part to this city an atmosphere of q western mining camp or frontier settlement in the rough and ready days of a generation ago. General Bing- hams men are on the alert all over the city.
 Wherever they had suspicion that knife or revolver bearers might be found or wherever they ran across man with a deadly weapon in his pos session he was arrested, no matter who he was. Detective Sergeant Pe- trosino's little squad of Italian sleuths was especially active. Petrosino is thoroughly familiar with the Italian quarters, and he knew just where to go for those who were likely to have either shooting iron or knife. The memory of many Italian murders in which the bullet or the silent stiletto played part quickened Petrosino, as we'll as desire to square accounts for the recent murders of Policemen Sech- Ter and Sellick.
 All through the police department the word passed to run the violators of the law to earth. The police are thor oughly angry over the fate of Sellick and Sechler, and General Bingham has declared that he will strike hard and fast at the root of this evil while public sentiment Is aroused.
 While picked squads of detectives are securing the foreign quarters, working under the direct orders of Commissioner Bingham and picking up all the men they find armed, the judi cial officers of the greater city are showing evidence of their intention to cooperate with the police in breaking ur the vicious practice of carrying deadly weapons.
 In general sessions Judge Rosalsky gave the heavy sentence of three years in Sing Sing to negro who had been originally arrested for disorderly con- duct. His offense was aggravated by the fact that he carried pair of brass knuckles. The name of the man is John Keen. The fact that he pleaded guilty did not serve to mitigate the se- verify Qf bis sentence. NET -y-,,
 District Attorney Jerome has pre- pared fifty cases of men charged with carrying concealed weapons and will present them to the grand jury today. In all 250 men have Eeen locked up, and the Tombs prison is crowded with nrisonare
