one Of the most interesting he has

the present-day tendency TO obtain
power and riches by not always leSit-

There is no sin, he said, lin &C

SAYS RICH HAVE
DOUBLE CREED

New York, May 5.-Rich men, who
have a double creed, one for Sun
days, the other for week days, are re-
sponsible for the failure Of the masses
to accept Christianity. according to
Rev Madison c. Peters
Nj Peters also draws a distinct OBJ
ject lesson from the fact that John D.
Rockefeller. head of the Standard Oil
company, is compelled TO go to church
guarded by detectives. declaring this
shows why people are hardly ready to
profess conversion.
Peters is meeting such success in
his work that he has impressed into
service the Belasco theater, and from
its stage hereafter will preach his
weekly sermons. He has named his
non denOminatiOnal sect the Ccsmo-
politan church, and although but three
weeks old, it already has a member

tonight. They stay away because
they have got tired of repetitious pray
ers, hackneyed eXhortations to be

may be happy in the hereafter, as
though heaven was a delayed luxury"
Our most extraordinary church
saints on Sunday are known as very
ordinary sinners on Monday, with two

When the most influential men in our
churches have to be guarded by detec-

venge, and the word deacon becomes
a joke in the community, the commu-
nifty can have little faith in the church
and the piety it represents.

TO GIVE A
HINT TO PANAMA

Panama, May with regard 10 the
visit of Secretary Taft to Panama
Ricardo Arias, secretary of foreign re-
lations, said:
81 believe that Secretary Taft's
visit here signifies the friendly desire
Of the United States TO settle once for
all the differences now existing be-
tween Panama and the United States,
and between Panama and Columbia"
It is a general opinion here, how
ever, that in addition TO paving the
way as far as possible for adequate
treaties between these countries, Sec
rotary Taft will also endeavor by
frindly advice to prevent during the
next presidential election in Panama a
repetition of such events as led to the
occupation OF Cuba by the United
States. The campaign already has
given evidences of passion, some of
the political factions showing tonsid-
cradle bitterness, and doubts, as things
die toudS' tHdt tHe elecllolS VIII re-
suit in disturbances throughout the
isthmus.
1t is felt here that the government
at Washington has some apprehen-
sion on this score, and it is currently
reported that a government agent has
recently been making secret visit
to various points in this country for
the purpose of investigating the true
political situation

TO PROSECUTE ON
ANTI-PASS LAW

Chicago. May J.-PrOsecution of
dozen big railroads for issuing passes
in violation OF the interstate COM

quence of az investigation being made

ed to special work under instructions
of the commissioners have been gath

against a number of the lines enter
ing here
The Rock Island, New York Central
Illinois Central, c., H. & b., Pere
Marquette and Monon roads are men
toned in connection with the inves-
cation.
Passes are believed to have been
issued TO state LEGISLATORS. chiefs of
police, aldermen and others whose
good will might become an asset of
value to the railroads. United States
Attorney Sims refused TO affirm or
deny the report that evidence had
been submitted to him for presenta-
ton to the federal grand jury, but
railroad officials say they have been
required to submit their pass lists TO
government investigators The latter
told the officials they were seeking
offenders who have been issuing pass
es to favored shippers
One of the abuses complained about
is the promiscuous issuance of passes
to caretakers for perishable freight.
1t is charged the railroads have given
such passes to many persons not en-
titled to them.

SOCIALISTS TO
NAME TICKET
National Convention TO Be Held at Chi
cage Next Week-Many Coming.

Chicago May 5.-EIaborate prepa-
rations are being made for the Social
lists national convention, which is To
begin Sunday, May 10, and continua
about week. The gathering Will
marx the entrance Of the party into the
political arena as one of the big par
ties OF the country.
Its future depends largely on the
convention. As the Socialists are suf-
fragists, and allow women full repre-
sentation, number OF women dele
gates, the same number of alternates
and 600 persons will attend. The at
tendance of local members of the party
in the gallery will swell the number
In the hall to 1000.
The delegates will meet in the Car
rick theater Sunday at $50 a. H. Four
large choruses, agSregating 500 voices,
and composed of English Scandana-
Wan, German and Hebrew singing So
cieties, will sing the "Marseillaise,'
the international song Of the party, in
in the four languages. Delegates and
Socialists holding admission tickets to
Brands hall, the convention building,
are to form a procession and march
from the theater to the hall, a dis
lance of ten blocks, where they will
sing the international anthem and
carry red banners, the symbol of the
party.
No permit for the parade has been
granted them by the police. It is
believed the permit will not be refused
but if it is, the Socialists say, they
will test their right to "assemblage
lice consent.
The convention is to be truly rep
Tesentative of the membership. 1t
will be composed of college profess
sors, students of political economy,
women suffragists, authors, play
wrights, editors of Socialist publica-
lions, a few millionaires and large
majority of workingmen.
Among the best-known of those who
will attend are: Robert Hunter, Gay
lord Wiltshire, J. Phelp Stokes and
Mrs. Rose Pastor Stokes, millionaires,
all of New York; Eugene V. Debs,
Terre Haute, Ind; William D. Hay
wood, Denver; Joseph Medill Patter-
son, Chicago millionaire, and Prof
A. c. Small, author of books on politi-
cal economy and constitutional law
With an enrolled membership of only
10000 in 1904 the Scialists polled 400,-
900 votes. This year thir membership
is $4,000. If the relative increase
holds in the popular vote, the total
will exceed 1,250, 900.

CHANGES DUE;
IN ENGLAND
Liberal Party Likely-COnservatives
Get In Favor.

London. May 5.-England is almost
on the eve OF change in administration.
The Liberals, under Premier Asquth's
| leadership are apparently about to go
! out of power; the Conservatives, led
! by former Premier Balfour are due to
succeed them.
Premier Asquith and Winston
Churchill are considered the Liberals
two strongest men. They represent
rival party factions, and are known
to have been on bad terms, politically,
for a long time.
The late premier, Sir Henry Camp
bell-Bannerman, the great conciliator,
held the two factions together. When
he fell in, the friction became greater
On his resignation, shortly before his
death, few politicians believed it pos
sible to staye off open warfare many
months. Immediately hostilities
threaten now.
Premier Asquith gave both wings
fair play in making UP his cabinet.
Churchill got the presidency of the
board Of trade. To take it he had to
appeal to his district to re-elect him
to parliament.
Asquith failed TO support him, 50 the
Churchilites say, and Churchill lost.
Of course, he will get back to parlia-
ment Dundee. where he will almost
surely win, has already arranged to
provide for him But Churchill and
the Radicals feel the premier has put
a mortal affront upon them.
There is trouble over Irish home
rule, 100. Churchill is for it, and said
so during his campaign. That is sup
posed to be why Asquirh let him be
beaten.
The Radicals look for declaration
Of independence from Churchill Then
there will be a vote on some measure
in the house Of commons. the Asquith
government won't have a majority, the
cabinet will have TO resign, there will
be a general election, and every poll
tician in England-Liberal politicians,
too-agree that the Conservatives Will
win

CATTLE-Receipts of cattle we're quite

in sight, as against 1875 cars yesterday and
1886 cars on Tuesday of last week, The
run, however, did not appear any too large,
as the market at this point has been In a
very good, healthy condition for some little
time back, with the demand FULLY equal TO
the receipts. In fact, yesterday the de-
mand was larger then the receipts. so
much so that prices on most kinds OF cattle
were generally a little higher. Chicago,
as usual on a Tuesday, had a light run,
but Kansas City reported very heavy re-
ceipts, that being the weak spot on the
map.
1t was very evident that the feeder mar
ket was in very satisfactory condition., In
that buyers were out early in the morning
riding after cattle. Feeders of desirable
quality. were by no means plentiful. in
cattle were so large. Hence with the de-

market should have been acuve, with
