ELIOT'S ARGUMENT POOR
Pope Does Not Agree With Sentiments
OF Harvard's Ex-President.

Chicago. Aug. ia special cable
from Rome to the Tribune says:
The address delivered by Prof. Chas.
w. Eliot before the Harvard summer
school of theology on the religion oe
the future. has beer translated by the
pope's order into Italian. that he might
more thoroughly comprehend it.
The translation. which was most ac-
curately done. was read with great care
by his holiness. who expressed pro-
found regret that a man OF sucn author
ity and culture as DR.. Eliot should
spread theories that. he said. are not
i, fact the basis of a new religion OF
the future, but a negation of the faith
and principles which are the foundation
o. Christie nifty and modern civiliza-
ton.
The pope is reported to have said II
would be easy to refute and destroy Dr.
Eliot's argument. and highly praised
Archbishop RYAN of Philadelphia, Bish-
op McF'aul of Trenton. and the other
American ccclesiastics who hastened to
the defense of their church and faith.
1t is believed that semi-ohicial re-
ply to DR.. Ehot's address on the lines
suggested by the pope himself will ap-
pear in the Civitts Cattolica, the most
representative Catholic magazine. This
is managed by the Jesuits, of which
Father Salvatore Bradi. an American
citizen, is the editor.

spending his time in looking after the
interests of his constituents. The hall

DEMOCRAT AT HEAD.
Gives New Life to U. S. Board of Cen
eraI Appraisers.

New York, Aug. 19.-with the ap-
pointnent of Marion de Vries. for
merly a Democratic representative in
congress from California, as president,
the board of the United States gen.
eraI appraisers has taken a new lease
of life and sessions are due to begin
at once.
A provision in the new tariff made
a change in the manner of appointing
an executive of the board. and this
had the effect of tying up the official
machinery. For several years, the
secretary of the treasury named the
president of the board by tacit agree
ment of the members of the tribunal,
but under the Payne bill, the presf-
dent was designated as the appointing
officer. With the appointment of Mr.
de Vries, the board continues its work.

In an Effort to Draw the Of.

Ptttsburg, Pa, Aug. 19.-Mounted and
using their hickory riot clubs, mem
bers of the Pennsylvania state consta-
bulary were today keeping strikers on
the move in the Pressed Steel Car COM
pany strike zone at McKees Rocks.
1t is estimated that 500 shots were
fired last night and early today by
strikers and sympathizers, who had
gathered on the O'Donovan bridge near
the works. During the firing the troop
ers and other police remained inside
the mill, orders having been issued to
take no action unless the strikers at
tempted an entrance to the plant.
The constabulary was out on the
street this afternoon. however COM
pelling the strikers to keep moving.
Troopers took possession of the O'Don-
ovan bridge and efforts of the strikers
to congregate at any point were de-
feated.
Strike leaders today explained the
shooting and disorder by saying the
workmen were being held in the mills
q against their wishes. The shooting
they say was for the purpose of bring
ing the constabulary from the plant to
the bridge and give the new men an
to escape.

afternoon that the schedule of the
local train on the Quenemo- Usage City
branch of the Santa Fe would be re-
arranged effective tomorrow so that
the train on that branch will meet the
motor car southbound in the evening.
This will make it possible for the pas
sengers on that branch of the Santa
Fe to return to their homes early in
the evening, and will prove of great
benefit to the passengers in Lyndon,
Vassar and Quenemo. There was a
difference of 80 minutes in the scheo-
ule and the new schedule will pro-
vide for the holding of the Quenemo
train SO minutes later.
L. T. Hussey of Lyndon, former

tee which has been working on the
betterment of the train service made
this recommendation to the Santa Fe

for better service.
Another alteration has been made in
the service over the cutoff which Will

forts of leaders in the Transmississippi
Commercial congress to prevent the in
PRODUCTION of the Pinchot-Ballinger con-
tIoversy, Corner United States Senator
Thomas NJ. Patterson, of Colorado. pre-
cipitated an attack on Clifford Pinchot
this morning, which was curtailed in
part by the action of the congress in
declining to give additional time to
Mr.. Paterson. who wished to present
a resolution in fuller form than allow
ed by the rules of the congress. Sena-
tor PattcrSons resolution cited that a
board of inquiry composed of Mr.. Pin
chot aud four other scientists some
time ago reported that the boundaries
of the forest reserves are not definite
and many places include grazing and
agricultural lands. He declared there
lore that additional laws are not nee
essary but that the president now has
the authority to declare these boun-

dividing the forests from the arabic

thousands of actes of land now held in
reserve as forest lands.

ac Mr.. Pirchot has himself concurred

darteS are untrue it will be no illegal
act for the president to give back to
the people the lands to which thew are

KENOSHA MAKES MONEY
Annual Profit of 90 Per Cent on
Municipal Water Plant.

Kenosha, Wis, Aug. 19.-The report
of the Kenosha municipal water plant
for the last twenty months shows that
the commission made net earnings of
nearly $50,000 on an investment of
only a little more than 4 million dol
lars. In addition to this 1t is shown
that a large number of extensions
have been made to the Kenosha plant
and the rate for water rental has
been reduced so that it is as low or
lower than that paid in any other city
of its size in Wisconsin.
The Kenosha plant has been a pay
ing institution since it was taken
over by the city In 1895. The cost of
the plant is rapidly heing paid off.
OF the $137,000 for which the plant
was originally bonded only $4,000
remains unpaid and more than double
this amount has been spent on ex-
tensions and new equipment.
