CLASH OF CHURCHES.
Protestant Alliance Protests Against
Eucharistic Procession in London.

London, Sept. 1.-THE Protestant al
lance, continuing it's opposition to the
appearance of the host in the process
sion to be held in this city next Sun
day in connection with the Eucharistic
congress, today telegraphed an appeal
to the home secretary to prevent the
carrying of the host and the wearing
of vestment on this occasion. The ap-
peal says:
1.-THE Protestant feeling in London
and the provinces as you doubtless are
aware, has increased enormously since
Tuesday and the country is now look
ing to you to prevent the law of the
land from being broken
The appeal concludes with these
words:
ANY other course will involve grave
danger to the public safety. If riot and
disorders should result the RESPONSE
bility will rest with the home office
which has ample warning of the state
of feeling in London
Some sensation has been caused here
by the publication of a letter received
by the secretary of the alliance and
signed by q man claiming to be secre-
tary of the Catholic anti-bigotry So
ciety in which the leading members of
the alliance are threatened with death
if the procession is interfered with.
The writer is supposed to be crank.

HELD FOR MURDER.
Charles f. Davis Is Charged With
Killing DR.. Rustin.

Omaha. Neb, Sept 11.-County
Attorney English has filed a com
plant against Charles E. Davis,
charging him with murder in the
first degree in connection with the
shooting of DIR. Frederick Rustin.
the morning of September 2. The
time of the hearing has not been set.
An important development has
been brought to the attention of the
county attorney by DR.. ]. P. Lord,
the physician called by Mrs. Rustin
to attend her husband Immediately
following the shooting. He told the
police that on his way to the Rus
tin home the morning of the shoot
ing he met a man answering the
description of Davis two blocks from
where DIR. Rustin was shot and COM
ing from the direction of the dying
not brought out at the inquest, al
though DR.. Lord was one of the
witnesses.
Dr. Donahue decided it was the
most significant bit of evidence OBJ
tanned thus far. DR.. Lord gave a
minute description which follows
very closely that of Davis.
1.-The man came staggering along
the street." said DIR. Lord, fhe being
on the sidewalk and L walking on
80 feet from him. L noted him par
ticularly because of the hour and the
circumstances. although 1 did not
speak to him."
DR.. Lords story fits we'll into evil
dence presented to the coroner's
jury and indicates that the man
might have been in the vicinity of
the Rustin residence 10 to 5 min
utes before DR.. Lord met him or
about the time the shooting is said to
have occurred.
The police are still searching for
the missing revolver and have COW
cred every foot of territory within
several blocks of the Rustin home
without success.

the plaintiffs have shown nothing to
mitigate the effect of their laches and
long acquiescence, or which can entltle
them to call upon a court of equity
to investigate the fairness of transac-
.tions after all the parties to them have
been so long in their graves, or moved
to parts unknown, or to ask the court
to grope after the truth of facts IN
volved in the midst of obscurity con-
sequent on the lapse of nearly twenty
years. Laches exacts of the plaintiff
no more than, fair dealing with his
adversary. This the defendant has not
received
while, in my judgment, without
consideration of any of the other de-
fenses the case should be dismissed
by reason of gross negligence and
laches of the plaintiffs, and for want
of equity; yet owing to the doubt
which might still remain as to
number of the other defenses inter-
posed, and in order that they may all
be presented to the supreme court
and finally determined upon one ap-
peal, the court finds generally for the
defendant and dismisses the action at
the plaintiffs costs"

AS "A SIMPLE TOURIST"
Emperor William Will Enter French
Territory for the First Time.

Paris, Sept. 1.-The government
today received official information
that Emperor William, the army
maneuver at Alsace-Lorraine being at
an end, would this afternoon cross the
French frontier in an automobile as "a
simple tourist" for the purpose of en-
joying the magnificent view from the
top of Schlucht mountains. Although
considerably astonished that Emperor
William should choose the present mo-
ment for the first visit to French ter
ritory made by a German emperor
since the king of Prussia was pro-
claimed emperor at Versailles in 1871,
the government at once dispatched in
structions to the customs officials to
allow the imperial automobile to pass
the frontier without examination and
for the proper guarding of the route
by gen d'armes to prevent any unfor
tunate accident.
According to the official advices the
emperor will have to traverse only
about 100 yards of French soil in or
der to reach a point whence he can
view the splendid panorama. The vis-
it includes the plain of Upper Alsace,
the lakes of Longemer, and Gerardmer
and the valleys of the Cologne and
Moselotte rivers, which flow through
pine forests into the Moselotte.

FORAKER CALLS.
Ohio Senator and MIR. Taft Have a
Harmonious Conference.

Cincinnati, Sept. 11.-The' call of SEN
ator Foraker at the offices of Judge
Taft in the Sinton hotel, the half hour
conference which followed and the
statement of cordiality by each party
to the conference constituted the new
feature of yesterday at the Taft head
quarters.
I'VE had a very pleasant personal
talk" said Senator Foraker on leaving
at o'clock. Yes. we talked about
politics, about nothias but politics you
might say"
There is nothing to say except that
we repeated what we said at Toledo, y
was Judge Taft's comment after his
caller had gone. He added:
I'VE discussed the general aspects of
the campaign. Senator Foraker said
he wanted to do all he could to bring
about Republican success and that
when I needed him, 1 should call on
him. The senator is to take an active
part in the campaign"
Mr.. Taft expressed the desire that re-
ports of the interview should contain
no reference to peace pact" as he
laughingly remarked there had never
been any interruption of peace person
ally between himself and Senator For
aker.
One thousand citizens of Greenfield,
Ind, will be addressed here next Tues
day by Judge Taft and on Saturday
night the 10Th he will meet the Nor
wood Republican club in the assembly
hall of the Sinton hotel. Norwood is
an industrial suburb of Cincinnati.

RICH IN. IRON.
New York Has a Bed of 500 Million
Tons Untouched Orc.

Albany, n. Y, Sept. 11.-One of the
largest iron ore reserves IN the pres
ent fields of iron mining is located in
New York state according to a report
submitted today to Andrew S. Draper,
state commissioner of education by Dr.
John NJ Clarke, the state geologist.
DR.. Clarke has just completed an in
vestigation into the iron mining fields
in this STATE and reports that a field
is presented for exploitation in the
socalled Clinton formation, situated
in the central and western. sections of
the state, which according to conser-
vative estimate, carries "a volume of
mineable ore of not less than 600 mil
lion tons.
DIR. Clarke's report is chiefly based
on a series of diamond drillings across
an extensive belt of territory lying
along trunk railroad lines. which have
been carried out in pursuance of a
special appropriation made for that
purpose by the legislature of 1907.
New York has been rapidly push
ing to the front as an iron producing
state with the extensive expansion of
the magnetic mining in the eastern
Adirondacks," says the report, but
the present field which lies in the cen
trail district of the state outside the
mountains constitutes an addition of
such moment to the iron supplies of
the state as to make New York at
once paramount III lIS IRON wealth.. Inc
deposits with which the report is con-
cerned are hematites of good to ex-
cellent iron percentages and are de-
posted in beds in the Clinton forma-
tion.
'The results of the recent explora-
tionS indicate that the ore is developed
in four main areas which succeed each
other along the out crop of the strata,
after longer or shorter intervals char
acterized by very thin beds or by their
almost complete disappearance.
The volume of ore subject to esti-
nation within the Clinton formation is
such that it is to be considered one of
the largest reserves in the present
fields of iron mining. The resources
that lie within easy reach of mining
operations are almost intact. A field
is now presented for exploitation,
which according to conservative es-
innate carries a volume of mineable
ore of not less than 500 millions TONS

Change in System Of Marking in

at the Naval Academy. compiled at the
Navy Department, shows the class to be
composed of 2OS members. The fourth
class, as q rule. contains from 275 to 3OO

for to some extent by the fact that large

~MNDU BEN

Turkish politics there seems to be no
unanimous opinion among OttOmans in
the city concerning the appointment of
Mundji Bey as charge d'affaires. The
Turks. Syrians and Armenians have
knives out for one another. Troubles
which originated as far back the Cri-
mean war seem to have an echo in the
expressions of opinions of representative
Syrians and .Armenians in Washington.
While Armenians are generally en-
thusiastic over the coming of MundjI
Syrians. say ii is because Mundji Bey has
consistently advertised Izzet Pasha as the
instigator of the massacres in Armenia,
which several years ago caused "A shudder
of horror to pass over the civilized world.
