ter, and Refuse TO Accept Die
tatiOn from Outside.

tist Ministers Conference who voted for

University Of Chicago. were challenged
to-day by a dozen OF more members Of
the university faculty who defended
their fellow professor and ridiculed the
ministers.
The professors declared the president
and trustees would take no action against
Prof. Foster. as they esteemed him TOO
highly. and would ignOrt any action OF
the ministers conference In short. they
defied Rev. Johnston Myers, Nemesis OF
Prof Foster. and his aides In the fight
against Prof. Foster to do their worst
The meeting in which Prof. Foster was
expelled because Of his religious opinion
In published books. which aroused the
paastors, was characterized by the pro-
fessOrs as a 'lamentably absurd proceed
ing" which they refused 20 accept IN a
serious light. They declared that Prof
Fosters standing in the university was
heightened by the occurrence. and his
character and manhod regarded more
highly than ever because Of his attitude
throughout the affair
Il was pointed ou that the University
OF Chicago is not ''an annex OF a Baptist
Sunday school," but "a university with a
broad. conservative system OF teaching ir
all its departments" and that II cannot
be dictated 10 by any Baptist organiza.
ton or Baptist minister"

Tennessee senator Enltvens Senate
with Chautauqua Speech.
Senator Bob" Taylor, OF Tennessee. en-
livened the Senate by making a huElor-
GUS speech on the tariff.
He said he had been sitting overawed
by all kinds OF fantastic terrors," while
the tariff debate has progressed. until
finally he feared neither wind nor thun-
der.
He had heard the Senator from Rhode
Island plead with the Senate to secure
for the labOring man l per cent Cf the
benefits of the protective system. bliss
fully unmindful Of who got the other 90
per cent" he had seen the gentle shep-
herd of Wyoming (Mr. Warren) drive
the wolf from the fold, with wool in his
teeth, but with not a single wyoming
lamb missing" he had heard the rustic
of Senator Shoots mercerized skirts as
he shook them in the face OF the Sen
ate" ana had been luiled 10 slumber by
the sounds proceeding ''from the eloquent
esophagus Of the Senator from Idaho
(Mr. Heyburn), as he defended protec-
ticn
And after the protection cohorts of
Eew England and California had routed
the recessionists Of the Middle West. he
had seen the New England protective
calf roll his eyes in blissfuI enjoyment
as he again fastened his teeth in the
udder Of the Middle West" All OF this
Mr.. Taylor said. had inspired him 10
speak for an hour
Il viii touch only the high places IN
the tariff bill. because there are no low
places except here and there in the raw
material" said Senator Taylor.
The Chatauqua speech was well re-
received and seemed 10 be an agreeable
diversion for the Senate.
The vulture Of protection" he said
HAS scared from the Dingley minimum
TO the blue cerulean OF the Aldrich-
Payne maximum with the American far
mer hanging by the seat Of his pants in
It's talons."
There had been no change in the pro-
tective system, he added and no reduc-
ton from the average rate of the Dingley
act. The doctrine OF free raw material
he said. was not a Democratic doctrine
although the Democratic party had IA
vOred the principle to some extent in
recent years.
He cited iron ore. which has a duty
OF . cents per ton IN the Senate bill.
He JUSTIFIED this rate as a revenue duty
and said that It was Is cents per ton
less than the iron ore duty in the VIII
son bill.
