before in his brilliant career
1t is generally reported that MIR.
Bradford and his associates are plan
ming the organization Of a gigantic
seaboard to the great lakes line and
that this deal will shorts be consu-
mated. 1t is generally understood
that the Bradford crowd is quietly
buying up the control OF the Chesa-
peake Ohio railroad. making their
purchases in the open market This
report is borne out by the fact that
within the past few days c. & O.

even higher.

up to the fact that he had lost control

CHICAGO. June "A special meeting
Of the Baptist Minister'S Conference has
been called for tomorrow morning, when
Prof. George B. Fosters latest book,
THE Function OF Religion" Will be dis
cussed. Opinions hostile 60 Prof. Fos-
ter's views are expected to be voiced,
and perhaps recommendations win be
offered that he be dropped from the
conference and from the University of
Chicago faculty. The meeting will be
held in Steinway Hall

a stir among ministers, as that caused
by the appearance Of 1.-THE Finality of
the Christian Religion" three years ago.
The discussion viii be led by the Rev.

Baptist Church. who is strongly op-
posed to Prof Fosters views.

The Rev. Johnston Myers said Prof.
Foster was attempting 10 ride two
horses. He declared thai he expected
considerable excitement at the meet
ing over the issue of the Baptist, as
Prof. Foster processes himself to be,
preaching Unitarism.
''The Baptist church holds Christ to
be 5tVine," said DR.. Myers. DIR. FOs-
ter denies this He is thereby re-
nouncing a principle of the church he
declares himself to be a member of.
He goes about preaching on a Unitarian
creed on what grounds does he claim
to be a Baptist?
THE University of Chicago is sup
posed TO be a Baptist college and should
not tolerate a man who is distinctly
opposed to its ideals"
That the members OF the university
faculty viii fight any attempt to GUST
Prof. Foster was the prediction made
by Prof. Theodore Soares.
