 RELIGIOUS MEN.
"One Is Dead and the Other Is On
 the Bowery"

New York, Nov 21-The pastor of the well-to-do Collegiate Baptist church of the Covenant astonished his congregation tonight by a declara- ton concerning rich men.
 The intellectual gymnastics" said the Rev. Dr. Haywood, Of the aver age New York preacher when con- fronted with the text, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven are pitiable.
 T am perhaps the largest property holder here tonight, but I deny the right of any man to exploit the land while there are hungry stomachs to fill. I let my property to tenants. for just as little as will pay taxes and the expenses of one girl whom I am putting through college.
 T have known but two religious men in my life. One is dead, and the other is on the Bowery. He has given millions to the poor and lives the life of day laborer. There is stamped on the. face of J. Eads How, sometimes called the millionaire hobo more worldly wisdom, more saintliness, than any other face I ever saw

When ever in the past it has been sought to stifie the voices of the leaders of any caues by placing them behind prison bars, their voices have become more eloquent.
 'The voice of labor will not be still ed. It is the plea for the same old justice, the same old cry for liberty, and the fights got to go on. If Mitch ell, Morrison and I were to lay our- selves crawling before the court, ask Ing IOr IOTglVenesS, II WOulOnI CndnSe the situation one jot.

Washington, Nov. 21.-After a con- ference with the, president at the White House tonight on the Nicara- guan situation, Secretary of State Knox authorized the following state ment:
 Demand on Nicaragua. If certain representations of fact which have been made to the state de- partment concerning the Groce and Cannon case are verified by inquiries that have been made, this govern ment will at. once prepare a demand on the Nicaraguan government for reparation for the death of these two men"
 Night Conference at White House.

 It was announced that neither the secretary nor the White House would discuss in any way the pending diff culty with Nicaragua and both the PTCSlQcub duQ NIT. hIlOX HdIlY T6IuSeQ to make any comment on their talk.
 Transport Buffalo Gets Orders.
 The only other event of importance during the day was the despatch of or ders to the transport Buffalo on duty on the Pacific coast to sail at once for Panama.
 This hurried ordering of the Buffalo southward is taken to mean that this government is making ready to set column of United States marines in the Nicaraguan turmoil for the protec- tion of American lives and property. While the five hundred marines are scattered generally over the canal zone they can be quickly concentrated by means of the railroad at Panama where there are military stores and supplies.
 The authorities tonight insist that the despatch of the Buffalo is not to be accepted as meaning that an expe- dition is to be launched against the Zelayan government but that the ves- sel is ordered south to be in readiness should occasion suddenly arise
 The Buffalo Carries Six Guns.
 The Buffalo carries six guns, is of 6,SsS tons burden and her engines de-. velop $500 horse power. The ysesseI will be driven at top speed to Panama, where on her arrival her commander has been instructed to report imme- diately to Washington.

ATTEMPT TO POISON
 AUSTRIAN MILITARY OFFICERS
Received Through the Mails Sample
 Boxes of Pills.

Vienna, Nov. 21.-A1 extraordinary attempt at wholesale poisor 'rw of mil- itary officers here has caused a sen- sation. A large number of oficers. just promoted to be captains in the gen. eral staff. have received through the mails sample boxes of pills. These were accompanied by circular rec- ommending them for nervous debility. One of the officers Captain Nader. took some of the .liis and died almost immediately. An autopsy revealed tho presence of cyanide of potassium and that his death was caused by that pol son.
 A further investigation showed that all the pills contained cyanide of po- tassium in large quantities and that many of the first lieutenants attached to the staff. but not promoted, did not receive pills. The circulars were sign ed Charles Francis and bore a false address.
 All attempts SO far to unravel tho mystery have failed and 1t is sug- gested that the poison may have been sent out by some disappointed officer, or that the poisoning is an anarchis- tic outrage.

 One instance of the self-sacrifice of the more sturdy. imprisoned miners was related by Lorimer today.
 Only Thimblefuls of Water.
 "Walszinski. think that was his name, was 60 years old and the weak est among us," said Lorimer. "Our greatest suffering came from thirst, for only thimblefuls could be got from the seepage. Walszinski grew so exhaust ed that he could not stoop over, but had to lie on his face and drink. We made holes in the ground with our fingers and then waited for the oozing water to fill them. When water filled a small holes there was not a man but craved it madly. But the stronger men frequently passed their turns to let the old man drink"
 Underground Fight for Water
 Lorimer's account of the chivalry of the stronger toward the weaker miners is disputed by Inc Autoniese, one of the rescued men.
 According to Autoniese the sick 6ld man was able to get enough to drink only after brawny miner, who believ- ed in the survival Of the Attest. had been felled with a pick handle and beaten into a sense Of brotherly love This miner whose name Autoniese would not divulge drew a knife to en- force his belief that the water should be reserved for those who had the best chance to survive the longest but near ly all the able men in the sealed gall lery attacked him and took away his knife. This fight occurred about the third day of the entombment. After wards the probability of the death for all became so strong as to unite the men in common charity
