NEW YORK, March Formal
charges made against Chancellor
James r. Day, of Syracuse univer-
sity, by Rev. George A. Cooke. OF
the Methodist Episcopal church, at
Brandon, VT, have been filed be
fore the presiding elder, p. M.
Waters, of Yonkers, for the New
York conference. Day is charged
with violating the church rule
which prohibits speaking evil OF
magistrates.
Under ecclesiastical law a com
mittee will be summoned of not less
than five ministers to hold hear
ing at which the accused and ac-
cuser will both appear. The result
Of this hearing will be reported to
the New York conference In April.
Chancellor Days attack upon
Roosevelt are almost as notorious
as his defense of Standard Oil
magnates.
Day regards the charges in the
light of a joke, but will neverthe-
less make an energetic defense be-
fore the committee. The chancel-
lor's most widely quoted declara-
ton against Roosevelt occurred in
an interview on May s, 1906, when
he said:
Anarchy of the sort practiced
by President Roosevelt Is the most
dangerous kind of anarchy. An
archism in the White House is the
most perilous anarchism that has

WHY RAILROADS DID
NOT REDUCE WAGES
special Correspondence to The Prsss

Special Correspondence to The Press
WASHINGTON, d. c., March Z.
AS a result of the action of Pres.
Roosevelt in the case of the Louis
vile & Nashville railway, it Us
now learned from quite reliable
sources that there will be no gen.
eral wage reductions as first con-
templated by the railways through
out the country. Railway men do
not care to invite the consequences
which will follow their efforts to
make such reductions.
AS a result Of the presidents or.
der government experts have been
looking into the financial status OF
the Louisville 4 Nashville. And
without any very deep search the
inspectors employed by the inter
state commerce commission have
found some very queer boOkkeep-
ing. The great reduction in earn
ings proves to be not so great. But
how did the books get this way? 1t
is a prison offense under the new
law to juggle figures as to earnings,
So this may be a case where the
jail will play its part.
1t is not surprising therefore that
overtures have been made to have
the investigation stopped. 1t is said
that the officials feel more kindly
toward their men, and that they
are not so eager TO reduce their
pay.
The thing that first attracted the
attention Of the experts when the
government went to work on tho

CITY LOSES IN FIGHT
AGAINST WATER RATE.

Of proof, but the plaintiffs are sat-
isfled that this fight is won SO far
as the pleadings go, as the facts
and figures were all taken from
city hall records.
According to these figures the
city is collecting 100000 per year
in water rents. The plaintiffs hold
that under the charter this amount
should be entirely devoted to the
maintenance and expansion Of the
water system, whereas it is shown
5000, 900 per year is being diverted
to the general fund to be used for
current and other expenses.
This Is alleged by supporters OF
the suit to be the reason why ne.
cessary extensions cannot be made,
the deprivation denying citizens

and have provided for by bond
issue.
