OPPOSES OWNERSHIP
COMMITTEE OF RAILROAD CON-
 aIEssIONERs REPORT. :.
Little AnfaGonism by Association to Policy of the National Adminis- sratiou Relating to Con-
 troi of Corporations.

Washington, oct. 9.-contrary to expectation, little evidence was forth corag z& Ntoday'e. sessions ot the snineseenth annual convention of the Association of state Railway Commits sioners to indicate that the msznbers were opposed to the policy of the na- tional administration toward the rail- ways.
 The nearest approach to antagonism to the ideas of President RooseSe cit was in the report of the committees on Powers, Duties and Work of the State Railway Commissioners
 The report of the Committee on Amendment to the tAct to Regulate Commerce. created some discussion. and finally was amended so as to ex- press the views that no rate should so into effect until hearing had been held to determine it's justice, The report of the Committee on Powers, Duties and Work" was sub mitted by Benjamin D. Chadbourne of Maine It says:
 ''W ecannot pass lightly the sug- gestion of Federal incorporation of railroads and that of Government own ership, so often heard But 1t may well be asked whether many of tho things now complained of as wrongs would have happened if the State Com missions had been clothed with greater powers.
 As long as the several States have the power of granting railroad char ters, why cabnot the Railroad Com missiopers have the granting of char ters under a well-regulated general law? They could pass upon the ques- ton of public convenience as com scientiousIy as the Legislatures. They are every day in contact with the transportation problem and could ex- ercise better Judgment as to nnanc- ing"

A WAR ON LIQUORS
WOMEN HOLD EN-
 THUsIAcTIC MEETING.
They WilI Urge Congress to Pass BaIi Driving Saloons from Dis- trfct--Watching Alabama
 Movement. i-

Washington, Oct 9.--(Special. )-- Sweeping resolutions were adopted to- night at great meeting in the larg- eat. Con gational church of this city held by the Women's Christian Tem- persnce Union, urging Congress at It's next session to pass a bill prohibiting the sale of liquor in the District of Columbia.
 Many animated speeches were made in which the speakers urged every temperance organization here to go to work in earnest to influence congress to take up the question and permit vote on the bill that Is to be onered.
 The. anti-liquor people also propose to urge the enactment of a law tha. will prevent the shipment of wines. beer and whiskies into States in which prohibition exists generally or in US focal option counties. The complaint Is made that Cincinnati firms snip liquors into Kentucky counties thaI are dry" The Supreme Court mas held that this can be done under eA- istine laws, and tha. is why the tenn perance societies want a new law passed to put a stop to the business
 The contest in behalf of prohibition now going on in Alabama have been freuuently alluded by by the women at the enthusiastic meetings held here this week. They made much tonight of press dispatches run hohtsoineAS ', published in the afternoon papers to inc effect that a great movement was on foot to wipe out the saloons in the Capitol City of the state. and they are watching. they say, the light being waEed at Birmingham between the ''wets" and the Fdrys." The temper anca advocates are even looking ahead so far as washington is concerned. They want a bill passed next winter that will make sure liquor cannot De sold in the new office buildings for Senators and Representatives.
 The case of the Birming gham Paek- ere Comnanv versus the Texas and Pa cific Railroad will be heard here by the Interstate Commerce Commission on the 22nd of October.
 The Montgomery Freight Bureau complaint against the railroad 1t IS thought, will soon be taken up with 2 view of fixing a time for the hear ing. Alfred J. Stofer.

 Nam Rockefeller VIII Be r Summoned.

New York, Oct. s.-The method through which the trustees Of the, Standard oil trust liquidated the conn pany in order to comply with the orr der of the Ohio courts was further uFl- folded today when Wesley H. Tttfords Treasurer of the Standard Oil Com pany of New Jersey was recalled to' the witness stand in the Federal suit against the so-called trust.
 Statements compiled fyom stock books of the various subsidiary conn panies during the trust liauidatiou were placed on the record and from these and from MT. Tilford the gov- ernment counsel Frank B Kellcgg. says that the gravamen of the govern mcnt's charge is that only pseudo-lf- ouidation was effected and that the trust continued as an entity and under the same control as at the time of it's inception in 1882 has been proved
 MT. Kellogg was able to develop that the liauidating trustees and their Associates liouidated only enough trust certificates to give them majority or the stocks of the twenty subsidiary companies, and that they voted these stocks as individuals and maintaineu constant control over the IntegraS companies. The dividends declared on the stocks of these companies were maid directly to those holders who ha9 iiouidated the trust certificates and t0 inc trustees who held the stocks against the unliquidated certificates ot the trust.
 MT. Kellogg showed that the trus- teas and one or two associates were the only certificate holders who hqpidatec their shares in the old Standard oii trust.
 Mr. Tilford testified that the cross town pipe line under Central Park whose ownership has caused consider. able perpiexity to the Federal coenses when it aid not appear on the books O. the Standard oil Company of New 1ork after 1906. was still owned by the New York company.
 MT. KelioEg again tried to And oue the reasons for the large loans, amounting to several millions. given te p. & Trainor of the Southern Pipe Line Company. Efforts to ascertain the nature of these loans at previous hearing failed.
 That the Standard Oil Company ot New York was e lender of millions of lie aurplus funds was testified to to~ dav bv MT. Tilford.

cANoNS ON DIVORCE
EFFORT TO MAKE THEM MORE
 E STRINGENT FAILED.
Motion of Bishop of Albany Lost--En- tire Day spent in Discussion of Preamble OiEered by
 Dr. Huntington.

Richmond, Va, Oct s.-The sixth days session of the Episcopal conven- ton was one of intense interest for important matters were discussed in both the upper and lower houses. while an interesting missionary meet ing was held by the Woman's AuxiI- iary.
 During the discussion of the phrase, ''the word of God pr. Thomas Nelson Page, the author and pr. Cyrus T. Brady, also an author. took a proni- nent part. pr. Brady created a sensa- tion by his criticisms of one of the bishops and was called to order by Rev. pr. Grosvenor of New York. Dr. Brady. however. was able to continue his criticism by alluding to the bishop as high church dignitary' and kept within the rules
 The most important action taken by the House of Bishops was in voting down the motion made by the Bishop of Albany, making still more stringent canons on marriage and divorce. The Bishops decided that during this con- vention no change would be made in the canons on this subject which are now in effect.
 The entire day was spent in a dis cussion of the preamble offered by pr. Huntington of New York and ap- proved by the Committee on canons Amendments without number were of fered to this preamble, the. most im- portant of which was the substitution of the words. The Word of God" in- stead of the words as offered in Dr. Huntington's preamble, The record of Gods relation of Himself in His Son."
 At the end of the. days session, the nreamble had been amended so that a vote was ready to be taken. but on ac- count of the objection of Rev. Dr. Roberts of Fond du Lac, this import ant matter was postponed until Friday morning, in order to allow pr. Hunt ington opportunity to be present.
 The mems offering, which was an- nounced tonight. amounted to $775,000.

 In each of the next three innings De- troit bAtsmen reached first base with the inability Of the following batsmen to find openings in the Chicago defense stopped the embryonic tallies. Chi caEo missed a simpler chance in the third when a double play and strike out left runners on first and third.
 The winning runs came in the fourth. Tinker's hit bounded off Mullins glove He went to second on a saeri, fce and stole third. o'Leary fumbled Slaele's grounder; Tinker scoring slagle stole second and came the rest of the way on Shreekard's two-base hit mast first base. After Chance had passed out Schreckard was caught try ing to steal third.
 After that fast felding prevented further scoring. o'Leary cut of two hits by marvellous stops and throws in the ffth and repeated in the sixth Shreckard caught low fly of his shoe tons in the seventh and the three De- troIt runners who reached first base were cut down by Kling's ine throw ing.

CHICAGO 3,
 DETROIT l Several Slight Accidents During Game. IDEAL CONDITIONS PREVAIL Rossman's Hitting Real Feature
 of Contest. Chicago Players Discord New Uni- forms For old Dirty waite One. Which Improves Playing of
 Both Teams.

Chicago, Oct, s-The Chicago National League team defeated the Detroit pennant winners of the Ameri- can League in the second game of the series for the worlds championship this afternoon. The score was 8 to l. Slow pitching and several slight acci- dents caused the contest to. drag out over two hours. the delays trying the patience of the big crowd which again filled almost every inch of seating room.
 The local team discarded the new gray uniforms in which they appeared yesterday. appearing in their soiled and worn white home uniforms. The ease, and also apparently benefited the Detroit players for both teams played more steadily than on the open ing day. After the first four and a half innings had dragged through an hour and thIfty-fiye minutes some sparkling fielding and sharp hitting and base running brought the contest to an end. Mullen and Pfeister were the punchers and Payne went behind the bat in place of Schmidt. Other ceding day. Schmidt's retirement was due primarily to his inaccurate throw ing but in this respect the change
 brought small improvement, as the
 five stolen bases crediated to the local team testify.
 Playing conditions were improved for
 the second game, the crowd numbering
 2I.e01 as against over 24.o0o yesterday.
 while warm sunshine and the absence of the chill breeze of the first day kept spectators and players in more conn fort. What wind there was blew
 across the diamond and aided the play
 more than 1t hindered it. Rossman. whose hitting was the real feature of the contest scored the first run of the game in the second inning. He hit q AnN krx aVsA ~xyh A. cd away from the shortstop and rolled far out to left field. the batsman mak- iRg three bases on the hit. Coughlin struck out but Payne lifted . short 1 fly to left field which Tinker might have caught but. left to Schreckard, | The ball fell safe and Rossman scored. Payue stole second but 0fLeary and
 MulIin could not bring him home.
