H THROWS OUT
CHARGES AGAINST DAY.

NEW YORK, April 1.-The charges
preferred against Chancellor Day, OF
Syracuse University, by the Rev.
George A.. Cooke, of Brandon, VT. were
ruled out of court by Bishop David H.
Moore at the opening of the Tooth ses-
sion of the New York Methodist Epis-
copal Conference today.
Bishop Moore, in dismissing the
charge, said he regarded the complaint
against Chancellor Day as a direct at
tack upon free speech and free press
The decision was greeted with cheers
and long continued applause. a
The charges against Chancellor Day
contained five counts, and were to the
effect that he had DETAINED President
Roosevelt in some of his public utter
ances. DIR. Day made no effort to
answer the charges.

SHEA ACTS WELL
IN DIR. JEKYLL
AND Mr.. HYDE
Appears at the Newark in
Eugene Thomas's Version of
Stevenson's Weird Story.

In a version of Or. Jekyll and Mr..
Hyde, dran,atized for his use by Eu-
gene Thomas, Thomas f. Shea ap-
peared last night at the Newark Thea
tire and succeeded in holding the small
audience present closely and approving
ly attentive throughout the perform
ance. Mr.. Shea's work in the grue-
some tragedy of ~Stevenson's creation
went far to alter the unfavorable i'm
preston made by his unfortunate ap-
pearance the night previous in "A Sol
der of tie, Cross"
Mr.. Thomas's version follows Steven
sons story closely. No opportunity to
startle and terrify the beholder by the
free use of the weirdly dramatic ma
terial with which the book is so plenti-
fully supplied was neglected. Yet the
playwright failed to Indicate, with suf-
sons philosophical intent in writing
the story. The idea is, of course. an
exposition of the contrast of good and
evil of which every mar is compounded
and the purpose a warning against the
danger of allowing the baser instincts
even occasional ascendancy. The theory
that the two identities in an individual
may be physically separated Is, OF
course. employed merely as a strikingly
original method of intensifying the
contrast and expressing the authors
psychological and ethical conception In
terms of the visible and actual.
Mr.. Thomas painted the evil in the
picture in vivid colors, but he did not
suggest clearly the good. In the book,
DR.. Jekyll is, in propria persona, far
from the cringing coward depicted from
start to finish in the play. 1t is true
there are occasional references by the
dramatist to the scientists kindly ma
ture and good deeds, but these are
merely referred TO by secondary char
acters. never, either in the writing or
the acting. suggested in the character
of DIR. Jekyll himself. Thus the sharp
ness in the contrast of the two identi-
ties in one is considerably affected.
Nevertheless the more spectacular and
morbid features of the story r brought
out with telling effect. and Mr.. Shea,
in the acting, allows no opportunity to
slip to impress his hearers with the
chill horror of the personality of Hyde.
He acted well last night, and his sup
port, with one or two exceptions. was
capable. J.. e. Gilbert. as Jekylrs faith
full servant, did an especially excellent
piece of work.
Tonight Mr.. Shea will appear in THE
Bells" in the version adapted from the
French by Louis Cardot.

A WAR OF BUTCHERY.

History records many changes In the methods of conducting the process of men killing each other in war. Be- fore the invention of gunpowder much of the fighting was hand to hand. True, they had bows and arrows and slings which would carry some distance. but the battle axe the sword, the spear and the bludgeon were chiefly relied on by the combatants to carry on the work of killing each other. When guns and powder came into use the trade of fighting underwent a change. When men fought face to face their object was to kill. but with guns wounding man Is usually as effective as kill ing him, if the wound is of sufficient severity to put him out of the fight. Of late the object seems to be the making of war more terrible and most modern inventions are directed to that end This leads The Columbia State to remark that if medal should be offered to the man who shall accomp- fish most in the interest of peace, 1t should be given to Maxim, adding:
 Not content with inventing a gun that stays without noise or, ostenta- ton, Maxim has now asked for a pat ent on new machine rifle that is quite the most magnificent instrument of butchery that has yet been devised. The new weapon is an improvement upon the old Maxim machine gun, but along lines that might make it's use in modern warfare revolutionary. The new weapon is capable of 530 shots minute. It has a range of about three miles and can keep up it's fire indefin- itely. being fed by a belt. The prin- ciple is similar to that of the older machine guns. but the weapon Is small CT and more compact. It Is it's size that causes military experts to shake most terrible instrument of destruction ever invented.
 This new instrument of butchery. we are further informed, can be readily taken apart and strapped on the backs of three soldiers, who can easily trans port it to a new position and as easily put it together and start it to work. The State further says:
 Three regiments of men armed with the new weapon could be marched to any place accessible to the same num- Der of infantrymen. Three regiments could carry 1000 guns What would be the result if 3,O00 men equipped with Maxim guns should station themselves upon a hillside overlooking a plain and open fire upon an army of say 60,000 as it marched by at range of two miles? In fifteen minutes each gun could discharge S.OU0 bullets-l, ,000 guns. 5000. 900 bullets The army would be literally torn into bits-provided, of course the army tried to maintain it's formation, and Maxim's guns could be gorged with cartridges
 While the use of such weapons may be styled plain butcaery 1t may be that their general adoption will go far to- wards bringing about universal peace among civilized nations. The horrors of noiseless and smokeless guns. and of guns that will send their deadly missiles at the rate of 500 each minute can hardly be imagined. and 1t would not be surprising If the contemplation of such an encounter should lead men to refuse to go into battle with such results before them. Perhaps the more nearly war approaches butchery the sooner war will be discontinued. l
