TO PREVENT REMOVAL
OF ANCIENT LANDMARKS

Rome, July 1S.-The syllabus pro-
mtlgated by the Pope yesterday with
regard to the so-called modernism in
the faith contains a preamble which
sets forth that Roman Catholic au
thors, under the pretext of examining
dogmas explain them in the name of
history in such fashion that the dog
mas themselves disappear. To pre-
vent such efforts the preamble says.
the Pope has ordered congregation
of the inquisition to note and reprove
the principal errors and with his ap-
probation sixty-five propositions are
condemned.
These include the following: That
divine inspiration does not guarantee
all and every part of the Holy Scrip
lures against error.
That the resurrection of the Savior
is not a historical fact but purely su-
pernatural. 1t can neither be demon
strated nor IS it demonstratable.
That the Roman Catholic church be-
came the head Of all the churches. not
by divine ordinances, but by purely
political circumstances.
That the church is the enemy Of nat
ural and theological sciences
That the Christian doctrine was first
Judaic, then Pauline. then Hellenic.
then Universal.
That the principal articles of the
Apostles Greed had notthe same sig
nificance to primitive Christians as
they have TO Christians at the present
time.

The Emperor Of kOrea After vaiab Slfvs.
Cling Consents to AbdGate
The Ceremony Has Been Set for 10 s'Ctsck This
Morning--The Japanese Say That They Are Not
Behind the Movement.

Seoul. Thursday. via Toxic. July Is.
Marquis Ito visited the emperor this
afternoon in response to the emperors
plea After two weeks of obstinate
seclusion and silence the emperor late
yesterday sent a court officer to Mar
quis Ito with a message that inasmuch
as both were worried over the pres
ence of the Korean deputation at The
Hague. he therefore begged the resi-
dent general to come to the palace.
Ito's first reply sent this morning
asked for an audience two or three
days hence, after the arrival of For
eign Minister Hayashi from Toxic.
The emperor replied that he would
wait all of today for Itos coming.
At the residence of the general an
nets action last night was given out.
II stated that the cabinet had recon-
mended that the emperor retire and
leave the throne to the crown prince.
The emperor did not reply then but
convened the cabinet for this after
noon.
Ito says the cabinet is acting on its
own initiative and without a knowl
edge Of Japan's plans or desires. This
morning a leading cabinet minister
declared that the emperors resolution
was wholly mistaken at the close Of
last nights session and the minister
was hopeless of the cabinets power
to influence the emperor today.

OPERATORS DIVIDtD
AMONG THEMSELVES
A Well Defined Split Between Prssi'
dent Small and the Executive Com
mittee.

Oakland. Cal. July 1S.-It was a day
OF activity in the ranks of the strik-
ing telegraphers at Oakland. Commit
tees were appointed and many i'm
promptu consultations were held dur
ing the afternoon. Several operators
waited on three members OF the exec
utive committee. NJ. ]. Reidy. s. j.
Konenkamp and ]. NJ. Sullivan, but
absolute silence was maintained as to
the meeting or the trend of the dis
cussion. II was evident from the
bearing of the conferees that the sit
uation was considered serious and
there were hints Of increasing friction
among the leaders of the strikers.
The executive committee came in for
severe criticism on account of its re-
ported remarks deprecating the calling
Of the strike and It's apparent lack of
sympathy with the local operators. II
has been rumored persistently for the
past few days that there was q Se-
rlous split between President Small
and the executive committee.
The telegraphers after the meeting
this morning reported that they had
refused to accept the concessions as
framed Dy tnelE ndttondi cAtCutiNc
committee. These concessions. as
stated. included an offer Of 25 per
cent increase on the part of the West
ern Union and the acceptance of all
but three of the strikers in their old
places. The Postal, they said, had
offered to take hack so per cent. Su-
4berintendent Miller today denied that
his company had offered any conces-
sions. or that it had changed its posi-
ton in any way.
President Small wired the result OF
the meeting to Chicago. but would not
say what the effect would be and
whether he would go east. There was
nothing new given out by the mana
gers Of either company today and the
situation from their side appears un-
changed. Labor Commissioner Neil
left today for Washington owing tc
the illness of his wife.

Mayor Taylor Would Like
to See Legal Proceedings

San Francisco. July 1s.-Mayor Ed
ward r. Taylor today performed his
first official act as chief executive by
signing $4,000 claim against the city
for the sale of a school lot. DR.. Tay-
lor spent a portion of the day at his
office in the Hall of Justice. where he
received numerous persons. some of
whom were looking for jobs. These
he spent little time on. remarking that
men who wanted office were not the
sort Of men he wanted to put into Of
flee.
The mayors secretary. Harry Ne
Kannay, discovered in the course of
the day that the big red motor car,
owned by the city for the mayors ex-
elusive use. had been captured and
hidden out" by the order Of Schmitz.
McKannay's information being that
one of Chief Dinan's policemen took
the car from the garage despite the or
der of the supervisors directing its de-
livery to Taylor and is now standing
guard over the machine in some secret
place. Meantime. the mayor is using
a gasoline runabout for which the city
pays by the day.
Dr. Taylor says he does not pretend
to assert whether or not he is the
only mayor" of the city. He has no
doubt that his title as mayor is good,
but he says he would like to see the
dispute determined by mandamus pro-
ceedings. He said he would be pleas

resulted in arguments based on such
facts as our investigators have re-
corded. and on our own experience as

I'VE believe no intelligent reader of

1t clearly proves municipal ownership
to be productive Of many and serious
ills. with little or no compensating

should reasonably be regulated and
afforded the protection that comes
with regulation. and appreciating that
the committee was not appointed or
constituted to consider methods of
regulation. nevertheless desire TO re-
cord their opinion. that some form Of
regulation of private companies should
be adopted In each Of the United
States. What that form should be this
commission is not prepared. by any
investigation or any study it has made
to suggest.
FINALLY. we who stand in opposi-
tion to municipal ownership. speaking
we believe, for all individualists, ar
raign the arrogance of many OF its ad-
vocates in assuming that they exclu-
sively occupy the field Of reform In
dealing with the problems concerned
and that they are the sole promoters
Of measures of economic Improvement
in municipal affairs. We assert that
the opponents Of municipal ownership
and operation. firm and consistent
supporters Of justice are the class

Boise. July ls.-A day of G-gument
in the admissibility of pointg of evil
dence followed the announcer Ant from
the defense that it had no furl her wit
nesses to offer in behalf of Y liam d.
Haywood. The jury was not brought
into court, Judge Wood hav 3 been
informed by counsel Of the d hsion to
rest without the offer of sur ebuttal
evidence Clarence Darrow poke for
an hour and a half at the llorning
session. Senator Borah replied in the
afternoon, followed by Richardson.
Judge Wood will probably announce
his decision tomorrow.
The point argued was the PROPOSE
ton to exclude from consideration by
the jury the evidence offered by the
defense to show. by proof of the de-
portation of miners from and the en-
ployment of detectives in the Cripple
Creek district of Colorado, that a
conspiracy was formed among the
mine owners and citizens of the dis
trict to prevent the employment of
members of the Western Federation.
The position taken by the Haywood
defense. was that Harry Orchard was
employed by the mine owners asso-
citation through detectives TO commit
crimes which were then charged to
the Federation to arouse the public
against the union. and ii therefore fol-
lowed that if the Colorado evidence
for the state was admitted the defense
had a right to show a counter con-
spiracy. The reply of the state was
that the defense had failed legally to
connect its case in these particulars,
and that therefore the evidence mere
ly confused the issue.
In the absence of the jury the ar
gument gave counsel an opportunity to
take a wide range in commenting on
the methods employed on bot, sides
Darrow was impassioned and jtuper-
atiye. He bitterly assailed richard
and the Pinkertons. He m t'itained
that Orchards story connectiA, Hay
wood and the Western Fedora; In with
the various crimes to which con-
fessed. had not been corroboraf that
the Vindicator mine explosion as an
accident; that the Independe e de-
pot explosion, where fourtee men
were killed, was planned by K. s.
Sterling and d. C. Scott. railr Id de-
tectives and that the Pinkertoy s sent
men into the district to join the,1nions
and incite the members to riot and dis
order
Incidentally he said the Bradley In
cident in San Francisco was due to an
explosion of gas as shown by the evil
dence for the defense and that Hay
wood had not been connected at any
point with many of the overt acts con-
fessed by orchard except by the dis
credited testimony of Orchard himself.
Senator Borah confined himself
largely to the legality of the question
of admissibility. He spoke for an
hour. forcefully reviewing the evidence
and the claims made by the defense,
which he said failed to show by any
member of the alleged conspiracy be-
tween the mine owners and the Pink
ertons that any such conspiracy exist
ed. He took the position, and quoted
authority, that evidence to show con-
spiracy can only be considered after
the introduction of direct evidence Of
a conspirator.
Richardson argued that the con-
spiracy had been shown by the con-
