PROF. FOSTER is DENOUNCED
Author of "The Function of Religion"
Asked to Withdraw from the Min
istry by Baptist Ministers.

Chicago, Ill.-Prof. George B. Eos.
ter of the University of Chicago,
whose writings, denounced by some
as "a bitter indictment of the Chris
tian religion before the bar of skeptic-
ism," have narrowed the clergy Of
Chicago. at a meeting of Baptist
preachers of Chicago was called on by
Rev. Johnston Myers, pastor of Inn
manuel Baptist church, to withdraw
from the Baptist ministry and to yield
up his ordination papers.
The fire of criticism was directed
chiefly at Prof Fosters recent book,
"The Function of Religion" This mo-
tion was put before several hundred
preachers and laymen gathered at the
conference of the Baptist executive
council, and only the objection of one
man, Prof. A K. Parker, who, like
Prof. Foster, is an instructor at the
University of Chicago, prevented the
eviction of the author of THE Func-
tion of Religion" Prof. Parker pre-
vented such action and the case was
postponed until June IA.
1t was after Prof. Foster had been
characterized as IAN undesirable Bap-
tist" and as a teacher who would
dethrone the church and defy evolu.
tion," that the effort to eject him from
the councils of the denomination was
made.

At the railroad company's Offices
here it was stated that in the shops
named 469 men have quit work and
that 21S remain. The claim was also
made that the total number of ma

stopped work. This differs materially
from the reports received at the head,
quarters of the strikers in this city

At the Baltimore & Ohio offices the
statement was made that every place

GALLANT STRUGGLE
AGAINST CURRENT
MAN SEES HIS WIFE JUMP INTO
RIVER ABOVE NIAGARA
CATARACT.
JUMPS IN STREAM AFTER HER
After Getting His Wife In His Arms
He Loses His Hold on Her and
She is Carried Down the
River.

Niagara Falls, N. Y.-Louis Cohen
of Buffalo saw his young wife
leap into the swirling river between
Second and Third Sisters islands, only
$50 feet above the brink of the cata-
ract. Without moments hesitation
he followed her, caught her hand and
struggled desperately to save her.
Mrs. Cohen probably died in her
husbands arms. Before it was pos
sible to bring efficient help an hour
had passed, during all of which Cohen
was making frantic attempts to reach
the shore. But the struggle against
the current-at this point it is about
20 miles an hour-was beyond merely
human muscle. Fortune aided him.
With his wife tightly clasped to him
he felt himself bump into a grounded
tree stump, and on this he got grip
with his one free hand. He Justify
shouted for help, and word was car
ried to the reservation police, but it
was nearly an hour after Mrs. Cohen
jumped into the river that officer
James Martin arrived with ropes and
Representative James S. Simons and
three other men.
Three times they threw the rope he
fore it fell within Cohen's grasp.
When he did catch it he was too weak
to tie it about his own or his wife's
waist. The two were 20 feet away
from shore and it was extremely diff
cult, owing to the precarious nature
of the footing, to make q good cast.
Pinned against that tree stump by
the terrific rush of water, all the
strength had gone out of Cohen; and,
too, he had besn unable to keep his
wife's face above water. Once Cohen
had hold of the rope the men on shore
began to pull, and officer Martin, who
was in the front, slipped and fell into
the stream, but quickly regained his
feet. When within Is feet of the
shore Cohen lost his grip on his wife's
body and it was carried off down
stream and was lost to view.
Cohen was so far gone when the
| rescuers got him on shore that he
could not speak for 10 minutes. His
first words were: "She is out there
Go and get her. She is dead. She
died in my arms"
William Barnet and Hugh Brown
who had Joined the searchers, finally
spied the body. 1t was held fast by
a rock about 100 feet above the brink
Without ropes Brown and Barnet
waded out into the stream and, NOV
ing carefully over the slippery rocks
reached the body. Just as Brown
touched the body the curernt caught il
again and it whirled around in an
eddy. 1t was with the greatest diff
Guilty that the two men brought the
body to land. Life was quite extinct

Iron Age Burns to Waters Edge in
Lake Erie-captain and Crew of
Nine Men Escape.

Detroit, Mich.-The wooden steamer
Iron Age, 226 feet long, burned to
the waters edge 10 miles southeast
of Bar point in Lake Erie. Capt. Will
liam j. Willoughby and his crew of
nine escaped in a small boat, but lost
all their personal effects. So quickly
did the vessel burn that scarcely 10
minutes elapsed between the discov-
cry of flames around the smokestack
and the order for the crew to take to
the small boat. Capt. Willoughby and
his crew were brought to Sandwich,
Ont, by the steamer Warner
The Iron Age, valued at $4,000 and
insured for $4,000, was owned by her

CAR STRIKE IS SETTLED
MoToRMEN AND CONDUCTORS TO
RECEIVE % CENTS AN HOUR.
"swlng System Is Abolished and Ten
Hours VIII Constitute Days Work
for Philadelphia Street Car Men.

Philadelphia, Pa.-"The strike has
been settled. The men Will receive
% cents ar hour and 10 hours
will constitute days work" This
statement, emanating from G. o. Pratt,
chairman of the executive committee
of the Amalgamated Association of
Street Railway Employees, the leader
of the striking motormen and conduc-
tors, followed by the deportation of
the 450 strike breakers who came here
from New York, ends the strike of the
employees Of the Philadelphia Rapid
Transit Co. The men go back to work
Immediately.
The termination of the trouble be-
tween the company and its employees
was brought about primarily by State
Senator James p. McNichol, the Re-
publican leader of this city, at confer
ences with the traction officials and
the strikers representatives These
conferences were followed by addition
al meetings. The delegates chosen
by the strikers met Pratt later in the
day and discussed the proposition
which had been made by the traction
people. Some of the delegates insist
ed upon 25 cents per hour, while others
thought % cents an hour and 10
hour day was fair compromise.
After being in session nearly all day
the men agreed to accept % cents an
hour. The old "swing system" has
been abolished; 10 hours will consti-
tute a days work; all employees will
hn 10 l.
forms in the open market; all future
differences are to be adjusted between
the company and a grievance commit
tee chosen by the employees. If, after
an investigation by the city controller
of the books of the company, it can
be shown that more than % cents an
hour can be paid without crippling the
finances of the Rapid Transit Co., then
the men will insist upon further ad.
vance in wages.

GREAT WAVE OF PROSPERITY
Large Orders Received for Iron and
SteeI-Many Idle Men Given
Employment.

Pittsburg, Pa.-From a canvass
made of the principal iron and steel
manufacturers, it is apparent that a
wave of prosperity equal to any ex-
perienced in this country is about to
take place. The recent stagnation
in the iron and steel business is de-
scribed to the Associated Press as
the little industrial rest" From a
majority of the interviews secured
here the fear is expressed that wants
in the iron and steel business will re.
turn with such rush as to cause
congestion.
The steel and plate department OF
the National Tues Co.'s works at
Wheeling, w. Va, began operations
this morning, double turn, giving EN-
ployment to 4.500 men who have been
idle since November, 1907.

VEGETABLE HELPS.
Rules to Enable Young Housewives
to Get More Out Of Them.


How to prepare vegetables so as to
get the most out of them:
Potatoes: scrub and pare when
necessary. 1t is not always neces-
sary to pare new potatoes, because
the thin, delicate skin. not yet tough.
will come of by rushing.
Parsnips: scrub until white, and
trim on the fine, thread-like roots.
Beets: wash carefully and do not
cut, for II the skin be broken the
sugaTy juices, which give the deli
cate flavor to the vegetable, will es-
cape.
Turnips: scrub, cut in slices and
pare.
Carrots: scrub, and scrape OF the
thin outer surface.
Ce cry: wash and scrape of any
rusty portions.
Onions. pee and SOAK
Cabbage and caulidower: trim and
oak. top down in cold, slightly salt,
water, to draw out any insects.
Spinach and other greens: pick
over very carefully and wash in ssv-
eral waters.
Hard she'll squeshes: wash, split
and cook in the shell.
Asparagus WASH, break OF the
tough ends. tie in bundles, and cook
In deep kettle, standing upright in
the water.
Peas and beans: shell and wash
quickly.
String beans: strip of the ends
and strings on each side, cut or
.resk into small pieces and wash.
Green corn: husk with clean hands
but do not wash 1t.
Fresh vegetables do not require
any soaking in cold water, and Ii
is better not to prepare them until
you are ready to cook them. But II
they are at all wilted. soaking will
freshen them, anG Il they must be
prepared any time before cooking,
they should be covered with fresh
cold water, to prevent them from
whiting or becoming discolored.
