EXPIRES. ELIOT PRoPHEsIEs
ADVENT OF A NEW RELIGION.
Will Not Deal With Sorrow and Death,
but With Joy and Life-Not Bound
by Dogma or Greed.

Cambridge, Mass, July 22.--Former
President Charles W. Eliot of Harvard
prophesied the advent of new religion
in an address before the Harvard sum-
mer school of theology this afternoon.
1T viii not be bound by dogma or
creed" he said. Its workings will be
simple, but its field of action limitless.
Its discipline will be the training in
the development of cooperative good
will. 1t will attack all forms of evil.
There will be no supernatural element,
1t will place no reliance on anything
but the laws of nature, Prevention
will be the watchword and skilled
surgeon one of its members"
The coming religion, he thought, will
be based on the two great command
ments. the love of God and the service
of fellow men,.
''The new religion" said he. will
not be based upon authority; the fu-
ture general is to be led, not driven.
In the new religion there will be no
personification of natural objects.
there will be no dedication of remark
able human beings.
THE newi religion will mot teach
that character can be changed. 1t will
not deal chiefly with sorrow and death,
but with joy and life.
God will be so imminent that no
intermediary will be needed. Its priests
will strive to improve social and indus
trial conditions. The new religion will
not attempt to reconcile people to pres
ent ills by the promise of future COM
pensation."

entrance of the plant to jeer at two
hundred or more men who remained at
work. A deputy and a policeman were

mob, firing in the air. When the strik-

fatally injured. The deputy and the
policeman were also painfully hurt.

That a nominal duty oniren ore viii

indication tonight. No determination
as to the rate has been suggested, but
the opinion is expressed by several of

Representative Payne is insisting on
absolutely free ore.
Willing to concede Free Oil.

ANNAPOLIS COURT or INQUIRY,
THREE MORE WITNESSES HEARD.
Remarkable variance in Testimony Of
Some of the Naval Officers.

variance in the testimony of some of
he naval officers who are witnesses
be 3re the court of inquiry investigat-
ing the circumstances surrounding the
death of Lieut. James N. Sutton at the
naval academy two years ago was EN-
phasized at todays hearing by contra
dictory evidence as to the location of
the bullet wound which caused the
young mans death.
Considerable progress was made to-
day and three more witnesses were
disposed of.
Mr.. Davis tried to find out from all
the witnesses today what became of
Sutton's two revolvers following the
shooting.
1t was apparent that none of the Of
ficers wanted to assume the response
bility of having the weapons about him
Immediately after the shooting
Sergeant James De Hart of the ma
rine corps, the last witness at today s
session, testified that some officer at
the scene of the shooting handed him
revolver with the curt command to
Take this
1t was dark and he could mot see who
the officer was. De Hart soon after
ward threw the revolver into the bush
es on his way to the barracks, and on
going out to look for it the next morn
ing could not find it,, he testified.
De Hart is a bright appearing young
officer, hardly more than boy, and
he created considerable amusement in
court by frankly admitting he had been
out with friends the night in question,
and was slightly under the influence
of liquor" He said, however. he knew
what was going on around him and he
was positive that he was not one of the
men sitting on Lieutenant Sutton and
trying to hold him down.
Lieutenant Bevan had previously tes-
titled that he was. He was making his
way to camp by "a back entrance"
when he met Sutton prior to the shoot
ing. De Hart said that Sutton carried
did not stop to talk with him long. The
witness did not know about the trouble
Sutton had had in camp, but thought
something was up when he saw the
two guns. Soon afterward De Hart
heard the shots and ran back to the
scene of the shooting He could not
remember recognizing any officers then
except Lieutenant -Utley. who ordered
him to the barracks.

If where uncertainty existed before
The day was one of conferences and
concluded with a conversation at the
White house tonight, participated in
by the president, Senator Aldrich and
Representative Payne, at which the
chief executive was assured that a
harmonious settlement of the differ
ences existing between the two
branches Of congress is practicable.
Harmony Everywhere.
This conclusion was reached from
the fact that harmony pervaded the
various conferences held at the capitol
today. The senator's opposed to the
free raw material programme were
consulted by Senator Aldrich,. and a
committee representing the same po-
sition on the house side held con-
ference with Chairman Payne. In ad-
dition the house conferees met this
afternoon to have the experts of the
senate finance committee explain the
senate changes in the cotton schedule.
Early Agreement Predicted.
It is evident that the president, by
informing the conferees that the dis
puted points were before them for
settlement, brought about a condition
that augurs well for an early agree
ment on a conference report. The
chief executive was able to get bet
ter insight into the obstacles to the
free raw material plan by his con-
ference with the two leaders than was
possible in so large a gathering as
that which was present at the dinner
last night.
Senator Aldrich today met a large
number of senators who are opposed
to free hides, coal and iron ore, and
no encouragement was offered for the
placing of any of these articles on, the
free list. In fact, were 1t possible to
get those senators to yield, the situa-
tion in the house would have to be
dealt with.
Meeting Of House Tariff Insurgents.
The tariff insurgents in the house
who are opposed to free raw materials
met again today and adopted resolu-
tions protesting against the plan. They
designated committee to confer with
Representative Payne, but the latter
did not offer them much encourage
nnent.
Representative Dwight, New York,
the republican whip of the house, con-
ferred with Senator Aldrich late this
afternoon and informed him that the
-free-raw- material sentiment in
the house was a matter which required
serious consideration. He said its
strength had grown to 40 members
compron,ise on DutiabIe Hides.
The advocates of dutiable hides in
both houses declare compromise is
possible. but that they cannot consider
