Judge s. E. Greene of the probate court performed the final act in the annexation of Shadyside to Ensley today by entering a decree on the records making the suburb a part of Ensley.
 This consummates the transaction, and all laws and ordinances in operation iH Ensley are now effective in Shadyside.
 Greater Ensley is now an assured fact, for with the annexation of Wylam and Shadyside, which have both been taken in during the past few months, Ensley can soon claim with reasonable certainty a population of 20,0O0

from the conference committee and
now has carried the war to the coun-
try with the announcement that quar-
ter will neither be asked nor given.
Such Il declaration from such man
insures a finish fight.
On the mere issue of carrying out
platform pledges there can be, of
course, no successful opposition to the
Cummins program. But that is mere
ly the academic statement of the case.
The issue really involved is the i'm
piled charge that the present leaders
of congress did disregard platform
pledges by passing the Payne-Aldrich
bill and therefore should be retired.
There is the crux of the matter, and
so the whole thing hinges not SO much
on question of principle as on a
question of fact in the application of a
principle.
On this issue Cummins is fairly sure
to have the backing of the entire in
surgent group in both houses and Of
! Il considerable portion of public senti-
ment on the outside. Even those in
final passage did so with mental reser-
vations and on the general issue are
liable to join with their former COM
panion in arms and to continue the
fight on "Aldrichism," as standpatism
has come to be called. In the senate
there were six besides Cummins who
voted against the Payne bill on final
passage Beveridge of Indiana, Mel
son and Clapp of Minnesota, La Fol
lette of Wisconsin, Dolliver Of Iowa
and Bristow of Kansas. In addition
to these We're Brown and Burkett of
Nebraska, Crawford of South Dakota
and Borah of Idaho, who had been in
instruction all the time, but who final
ly voted for the bill in response to the
appeal of President Taft.
OF this group La Toilette has gen.
orally been regarded as the leader.
/ Since the advent of Cummins in the
senate, however, the Iowa man has
gradually forged to the 'front.' and now
1 his action in issuing his defiance to the
powers that be will doubtless make
him the popular figure among those
who espouse the new idea. He is q
man of striking and handsome appear
ance, an effective speaker Of wide
culture and thorough command OF
facts and man whom friend and
foe alike regard as being answering
and incorruptible.

PROPRIETARY MEDICINE FRAUDS

There have been plenty of them, no
doubt, and they have been vigorously
condemned-so vigorously, that every
sort of medicine, the formula of which
is privately owned, is condemned and
pronounced ''unethical' by the Medical
Profession.
Eckman's Alternative deserves atten-
ticn, not because it is proprietary
but because it really has cured many
cases of tuberculosis. If it is fraud
it needs exposing badly, because a
number of cured Consumptives will
need to find some other reason for being
well.
Henry Clay said he would rather be
right than be President Is it not bet
ter for Eckmans Alternative to make
cures than to be ethical?

GUN STOPS CHURCH SERVICES
Aged Men Said Loud Singing of Con-
Gre9ation Disturbed His SIum-
bers and aroused His Ire.

Salem, n. J.-His hair as white as
snow and his shoulders bent with
years of toll, Thomas G. Irelan, who
says that he is nearing his seventy
ninth birthday, was brought before
Justice of the Peace Smith to answer
charges of assault and battery upon
Rev. j. w. Tower, pastor, and several
members of the Trinity Methodist
Episcopal church, Pennsville. He was
held under bonds to keep the peace
and for his appearance at court.
1relan, it is alleged, has entertained
considerable animosity against Pas
tor Tower and his congregation since
the erection of a small building near
his home by the members of the Ep-
worth league, in which to hold festi-
walls and special services. The other
eve..,os, while special service was
being held in the building, it is
charged that Irelan fired four shots
from doubled barrel shotgun on the
building. While no one was struck
by the shot, it so frightened the audi
ence that the meeting was quickly
brought to a close and the people
quietly stole to their homes. Wit
nesses also allege that person, whom
they had every reason to believe was
1relan, had fired on the building be-
FORE and once some person planned
to burn it, boxes covered with oil be-
ing found under the rear steps.
Irelan made a statement, in which
he admitted that he fired the gun, but
not in the direction of the building;
that it was his purpose to try to break
up the noise made by singing and not
to hurt any one; that he had in mind
Sor several days to fire the gun, for he
removed the shot and placed powder
in the barrels so that he would not
injure any one when he shot. His only
excuse seemed to be that the singing
was kept up until ten o'clock at night
and it interfered with his sleep, and
in reply to Prosecutor Sinnicksons
question as to why he shot he said
that he thought he could deaden the
sound of the singing by firing the gun.
Justice of the Peace Wheaton as
serted that when Irelan was accused
of attempting to fire the building he
made the remark that if the members
Of the congregation did anything to
him he would burn all their properties,
and also that of the church. This

concerned, the Iowa senator will be
