KATzENBACH OUT
Of CHURCH that
HURT CANDIDACY
Gubernatorial Candidate Re-
n0unces Presbyterianism and Is
Confirmed as an Episcopalian.


TRENTON. May 24.-After having
been a member, officer and active worker
In the Fourth Presbyterian Church Of
this city for several years, Frank s.
K~atzenbach, with his brother, Edward
l.. Katzenbaeh, were yesterday received
as members of the Trinity Protestant
Episcopal Church. Bishop John Scar
borough confirmed both. Frank S.
Katzenbach was superintendent of the
Sunday school of the Fourth Church for
several years prior to his gu~bernatorial
candidacy in 1907, but his activities in
that church ended with his campaign.
The active af1liation of the Katzen-
bach family with the Fourth Presby-
terrain Church came to an end on the
Sunday during the campaign when the
clergymen of Trenton united in a de-
nunciation of the open Sunday. The
Rev. Hugh B. MacCauley, pastor of
the Fourth Church, Joined in this
crusade, and whether SO intended some
OF his remarks We're construed as a
criticism of the position assumed by
Mr.. Katzenbaeh on the liquor question.
The sermon of the Rev. Mr.. MacCauley
was given wide publicity at that time
and was bitterly resented by many of
Mr.. Katzenbach's friends.
Soon after the memorable Sunday
Mr.. Katzenbach's father and mother,
who had also been members of the
Fourth Church, withdrew from the
congregation and Joined the Second
Presbyterian Church.
Frank S. Katzenbaeh. jr, and his
brother, Edward, also ceased their at
tendance at the Fourth Church, but
until yesterday, when they accepted
the Episcopal faith, did not actually
become identified with any other
church.

Unimaka Pass ON the night OF April 80,
the experiences of the passengers and
crew of the Columbia were narrowing.
There was no wind at the time, but
a terrific surf vas raging from a storm
ON the previous night. On the vessel
were 50 Italians, 96 Japanese and As
Americans n S-candinavians. All, in
GLIDING the Japanese, were passive and
obedient in the face of danger save the
Italians, who in panic raved and
prayed. A boat was lowered and the
Italians poured in.
The Italians attempted to seize two
more boats. but were restrained at the
point of guns They rowed eight miles
to Scotch Cape lighthouse. Returning
two days later for provisions they were
again compelled with revolvers to take
only food and refrain from looting.
Two former .ife-saving men, Christ
Christophersen and Ernest Anderson,
insisted they be allowed to proceed for
shore alone in a diminutiye skiff. They
succeeded in establishing life line to
the shore.
Only one woman the Australian wife
of Mate Cameron, was with the party.
On the morning of May 2 a storm
caused the final abandonment Of the
wrecked Columbia. The same day the
ship burned to the waters edge.

not increase the wages of the workmen
In the shipbuilding trade, it makes it
impossible to build ships to compete
with foreign vessels Without a sub
sidy. If the tariff burden was lightened
and shipping laws corrected, which
has driven the American marine off
the waters of the earth, the Yankee
flag would again be seen in foreign
ports. Having cast his lot in with the
standpatters, the president has seem
ingly made up his mind to allow them
to control all his politics. II Theodore
Roosevelt will put himself at the head
OF the western republicans he can
again become president in 1912, unless
in the meantime democracy wakes to
its opportunity"
The suggestion contained in the last
two lines of the above DER true tale is
a good one. Will the democrats of the
United States awake to the opportuni-
ty and act on it? If they do, nothing
can prevent the election of a demo
cratic congress next year and demo
cratic president in 1912.

Grief for Joe Cannon.

Perhaps Attorney General William
H. Stead has put knife under the
fifth rib of Speaker Cannon, if his re
cent ruling with reference to the in
mates of the National Soldiers home
at Danville be upheld by the courts.
An inmate of the home passed to his
eternal reward a few days since with
out medical attention and the coroner
of Vermilion county desired to hold
an inquest over the remains. Gov.
ernor Barger, superintendent of the
home, held that it was unnecessary
and refused permission to the cor
oner on the ground that the dead man
was a ward of the national govern
ment, and hence Vermilion county had
no Jurisdiction. According to reports.
Attorney General Stead was appealed
to and after a careful review of the
law held that the superintendent was
in the right and that the coroner had
no jurisdiction, the soldier being a
resident of the National Soldiers
home and not of Vermilion county.
He based his opinion on that portion
Of the statute Of the United States
which recites that federal property
sites are coded to the general gov
eminent by the state, which thereby
relinQuishes all control over the same
and places it under control of the fed
eral government Some one has taken
UP the matter and now constructs the
law to be the same with reference to
the inmates of the home as those of
the District of Columbia, holding that
their place Of residence is where they
resided before becoming inmates Of
the home, and that they must return
to that place If they desire to vote at
the general elections, and consequent
ly have no right to vote in local mat
tiers.
There are over 5000 republican
votes in the home which are cast regu-
larry for Speaker Cannon. If this con-
struction of the law should be upheld
all those votes, with the exception of
a possible few who are bona-fide resi-
dents Of Vermillion county, will be
eliminated from voting there. The
ruling viii not apply to the Soldiers
home inmates all over the state, it be-
ing a state institution.

large, complicated covered wooden
bridge had been constructed across the

threatened to fall, the designer tele-
scoped another bridge into it in such q
curious way that the fall OF the whole

Peary was sent to make a drawing

Government Bonds Below Par.

President Taft's declaration in favor
of issuing government bonds to con-
struct irrigation canals and deep
waterways some other cause-has
produced a slump in these securi-
ties. The fact in the case is that the
Panama canal issue of 2 per cent gov
eminent bonds is slipping below par
and the regular consols of 1880 arc
barely above the line. The decline is
attributed to the letting out small
blocks of bonds upon the market by
the national banks as fast as deposits
of public money are withdrawn. When
they are no longer needed to secure
these, there is the temptation to take
out more circulation notes rather than
sell bonds at a decline in price; bat
evidently this is proving Improbable
and the bonds are dribbling into the
market and sinking. But if there is
slight slump" in these government
securities now, what would there be If
President Taft's bond-issuing ideas be-
come actualities? With a billion or
two more government securities on
the market, how would the market be
affected?
OF the $S5, 100000 or so CT Panama
canal twos outstanding about s75.000,-
900 have been held by banks to secure
circulation and something over $4,000
600 to secure government deposits. OF
the $646, 900, 900 and more of consols OF
1880 $573.O00,O0O were held to secure
circulation at last accounts ard $24.
100000 to secure deposits There is
some $10,500.O00 OF security for depos-
its in state, city and other bonds, and
there is a possibility of replacing
these with governments, which would
tend to hold the latter up. But there
is still deficiency in revenue receipts
and the treasury balance continues to
shrink. The time is past, at least for
while, for bolstering up the bonds
| by increasing public deposits, while
holding them up by increasing circu-
lation seems to have reached its limit
And yet President Taft proposes
more bonds" and the contractor rings

A GOOD suggestion.

The Boston Traveller (republican)
declares that Taft has gone over the
Aldrich-C Cannon machine. hook, line
and sinker, and remarks:
"Mr. Taft's declaration for ship sub
sides is additional evidence of his
complete surrender to the Aldrich-
Cannon machine, which hopes to add
100000 out of the national treasury
TO the presents already given to the
steel trust. Under present tariff con-
ditions, it costs practically twice as
much to build ship at Fore River as
at the best English shipbuilding estab-
liGhnents, the difference not being in
tho labor cost, but in the cost OF ma
terial. While the present tariff does
