When a street car stops TO take on or

Representative Thetus w. Sims OF
Tennessee, is q sworn enemy of TIE
automobile He has never admired l"e
things, and now since he has admitted
on the floor Of the House that one OF
them came near running him 10 eAflh

Mr.. Sims therefore spoke out III no

Of automobiles for Mr.. Taft. The bill

This is not a matter of chinquapln

CONGRESS MAY URGE
USE OF WIRELESS
House Committee Takes Up
Question of Passing
Burke'S Bill.

Inspired by the value Of the wireless
telegraph at sea, as demonstrated at the
wreck Of the steamer Republic, Con-
gTess is preparing to extend It's field Of
operations.
There was a hearing on the subject
today before the House Committee on
Merchant Marine and Fisheries. Repre-
sentative Burke Of Pennsylvania was
present to urge the passage OF his bill
providing that all ocean steamers car
rying more than 30 passengers and sail
ing more than 500 miles shall be equip
ped with wireless telegraph apparatus.
''Siuce the Introduction Of my bill, %
he said, "I have had communications
commencing the measure from individ-
uals and commercial bodies throughout
the country, and 1 hope for the pas
sage of this bill at this session.
Some one has denied our right TO
carry this into effect without iLterna-
ti0nal agreement. No such agreement
is necessary. We have the same right
TO require wireless instruments as TO
require life-preservers on ships.
The right 20 enter our ports is one
that we can deny or make conditional
The French assembly has followed eX-
ample and yesterday began cOnsidera-
tiou OF a measure similar TO mine. No
nation viii resent. but all will welcome,
the passage of this bill by Congress.
Nor does the bill impose any hard
ships. 1t does not impose an unjust
burden. The wireless equipment Is a
splendid form of insurance Of ships and
carSoes aside from the protection TO
life. There can be no extCTtion because
there are now several competing com
panIes engaged in the wireless bust
ness.
Even iu the face Of the wonderful
demonstration Of the value OF the wire
less in the saving Of more than 1000
lives. many steamship owners will be
slow to take advantage of the device
because OF its slight cost, and legisla-
ton Is necessary to compel such TO
act"
The cost of equipping a ship with the
wireless, Burke said, ranged from 1910
20 $1,000. Ships not now having wire
less telegsaphic installation carry more
than 100000 passengers into New York
per trip Vessels similarly equipped
carry. per trip, 1900 passengers. and
into San Francisco and Port Townsend,
800 passengers.

CHURCH INSURGENTS

Misconstrued by Members.

Declaring that the congregation of
Luther Memorial Church has wholly
misconstrued their efforts 70 effect a
change in the methods Of church gov
ernment the insurgent vestrymen this
morning decided, for the present at
least, to abandon their Sight for an ac-
counting o the church funds
The councilmen, Anton Heitmuller,
F. r, Barclay, and +. r. Wurdeman,
unite in a statement to the effect that
they will abandon the field until such
q time as the congregation sees fit to
ask them for a statement, Feeling
sure that the time Will come they have

found at the church during their tenure
OF office, a statement originally pre-
pared TO be presented at tie meeting
on Monday evening when 1he congre-
cation voted to accept their resigna-
tiOns.
'It has not been our policy to rush

treasurer Of the church, "and this mat
ter would haze been kept under cover

greatly elated eve4- eur destinations
that they hastened t. proclaim # broad
cast. Now that they have declined to
near our side of the case we have no
desire to obtrude these facts on their
attention until they want to know the
truth"
Supporters OF DR.. Butler ridicule the
charge that the church can be involv-
ed In any litigation over It's taxes.
1.-THE extreme COnscfentiOusness of
these men who would pay these taxes,
which have long since expired, is
amusing. It is only another subterfuge
for making trouble declared l.. T.
Randolph. the single remaining mem
Der Of the church council.
LAS for their threat to bring this
matter to the attention OF synod, a
cursory study of thS church constitu-
ton viii show that they have no re-
course from this sOoTce. The govern
ment Of our church is congregational
in form and we are not amenable to
discipline from the Maryland synod OF
any other governing Oody."

trouble. For four hours yesterday
afternoon the Senate, in executive ses-
sion, wrestled with the Crum case
When Tillman took the floor he saw
there was not a quorum present He
announced his intention of maintaining
quorum throughout the day, and
while he was speaking.
It was at this point that the ghost
Of the old ruling made last session arose

TVho are standing with him. They per
