RELIGIOUS REVEALS
CLASSED AS HYPNOTIC
SEANCES BY PROFESSOR

CHICAGO, July I5.-Religious "re-
vivals" we're classed with hypnotic
seaDces and scored for their unnatural
and "weird" results yesterday by Pro-
fessor Edward scribner Ames Of the
University Of Chicago in lecture on
"The Development of the Personal Re
llgiOus Experience" at the university
Professor Ames declared that revival
converts were likely to be undesirable
additions to the church.
"In no respect is there greater agree
ment among psychologists Of religion
than that the methods of the revivals
are essentially methods Of hypnotism,"
said the speaker. THE fixing of atten-
tiOn, the manipulation of the subjects
through series Of suggestions, the final
mandatory eHhortatiOn to surrender and
to indicate II by a single response--aIl
these are the well known methods Of
hypnotism."

conferees Told That Uncle Sans Ex-

(By Associated Press.)

" ASHINGTON, July 15.-Slight.
w but unmistakable, evidence of
friction between the president
and the conferees on the tariff bill have
become apparent.
last effort by the conferees to in
duce the president to consent to strik-
ing out the corporation tax amendment
failed.
The president not only told Senator
Aldrich and Chairman Payne that he
would not withdraw from his position
assured of sufficient votes to keep the
provision in the bill and to insure its
adoption in both houses.
The president reiterated this position
to several of his callers today.
Pains were taken at the White House
today to make 1t clear that President
Taft did not send for Messrs. Aldrich
and Payne on the occasion of last
nights conference. The conference, it
was said at the White House, had been
sought by the legislative leaders.
Senator Aldrich, it was related, was
pleased with the presidents decision.
Already committed to the corporation
tax, he was anxious that the house con-
1ereeS should undeNIand LndL LnlS TAX
is purely an administrative measure.
The senate conferees have suggested
to the president that he send personally
for senators to whom pledges to stand
firm have been given by the senate con-
ferees.
The conferees told the president that
IL the senators would release the con-
ferees from their pledges, the latter
would be glad,to accept the lower rates.
The president, 1t is declared, has
adopted this suggestion. From all out
ward indications, however, not much
progress has been made.
President Taft, according to au-
thoritative information, is still hopeful
that out of the conference consideration
will come satisfactory measure. The
president has indicated to the conferees
that he is particularly interested in Sc
curing free hides, free oil, free coal and
q material reduction in the lumber
schedule.
Excellent progress on schedules was
made by the conferees today. No night
session was held.

7 KILLED UNDER
FALLING WALLS

PHILADELPHIA, July 15.-In one of
the busiest sections of the city, the
five-story brick building at the north
east corner of Eleventh and Market
streets, which was being reconstructed,
collapsed this afternoon, burying or
pinning beneath the ruins thirty-two
persons, seven of whom are dead, one
missing, one fatally injured and twen=
ty-four more or less seriously injured.
Marrow escapes were many. Those
killed were workInen. 1t is supposed
that by moving one of the girders the
entire structure was loosened.
Before professional aid could be mus
tered, automobiles, teamster wagons
and all sorts of nearby vehicles were
filled with the dead and injured and
hurried to the hospitals.
Workmen tonight continue to dig in
the ruins.

Mayor Smith. who had taken the

the mayor that he could give any

his contract, but agreed that all jokes
OF double meaning, lascivious dances
and vulglritles should be eliminated.

SPEAKING OF WORK IN AFRICA.

= New York, Dec. 14.-President
Taft last night addressed an immense
gathering In Carnegie Hall at the
diamond jubilee of the Methodist
Episcopal church. in celebration of
the completion of the campaign
started in January last, whereby
5000, 600 was raised to further the
church's mission work in Africa.
Bishop Hartzell, through whose ef-
forts the money was raised. was the
only other speaker. The president
said:
The mission Is nucleus and
options of the civilization that is ex-
pected to widen out in its neighbor-
hood. The missionaries are the fore
runners of our civilization. Without
them we would have no hope of con-
quering the love, admiration and re-
spect of millions who we hope to
bring under the influence of Chris
tian civilization.
at is curious to see how the Al
mighty works His ways. Our inter-
est In Africa for many years was in
the slave trade. We are all respons-
ible for the encouragement of that
trade. and now we have with us ten
million descendants of negroes that
we're taken by force from the dark
continent. Yet no one would say the
descendants of those people brought
here are not to be congratulated on
the fact that they have been able to
enjoy proximity to civilization. so
that they are hundreds of years in
advance OF their relatives In Africa.
Yet they came here through greed

BAN. JOHNSON is
AGAINST WARD
AMERICAN LEAGUE DOESN'T
WANT HIM PRESIDENT.
VIII Cause War Sure-President OF
American shows How He
Caused Trouble.
STOP BASEBALL PROSPERITY

New York, Dec. 14.-The Ameri-
can League will not stand for John
NJ. Ward being elected president OF
the National League, according to
President Johnson, of the American
League. II he is elected, said John
Ison, 1t means war.
Outlining his position on the eve OF
the National League meeting, John
son gave out letter he sent Chair
man Herman, of the national COM
mission, who was instrumental in
ending the war between the National
and American leagues in 1903. The
letter, dated Chicago, Nov. 80, says:
"The Information that Ward ID
seriously considered for the presi-
dency of the National League has oc-
casloned me much surprise, and rails
ed the question OF the sincerity OF
purpose of your organization. Since
| signing the peace pact the creation
of the National agreement organized
baseball has moved along in a broad,
straight channel, with moderate fric-
| ton.
The chief snag encountered was
Jour effort to recover Player George
Davis after he was awarded TO
the Chicago American league club
at the Cincinnati peace conference.
Ward. as attorney for Davis, drew up
the original contract with the Chica-
go club, three year agreement, iron
bound and rivited. At subsequent
date Davis signed another contract
with the New York National club.
The latter sought to retain Davis, re-
CARELESS of the Cincinnati award, and
did use him in one game, despite Wig
orous protest. The Chicago club was
finally obliged to go into the courts
to enforce the contract, and Ward
represented the player in the pro-
lceedings.
Davis was checkmated, but the
Chicago club did not have his serv.
ices during the season. The cost OF
the litigation to the Chicago club ex-
ceeded $4,000. The entire transac-
ton was clearly a conspiracy, and in
wanton violation of the peace pact
The American League interests must
be considered of weight in the con-
struction of the national agreement.
at is far from our purpose to
say. even suggest, who the National
League should elect president, but
common sense and the interests OF
other parties to the agreement
should be considered II the present
cordial relations are to continue.
"The unbounded prosperity of the
game enjoyed under its present gov
eminent should serve as a safety
valve to any prejudicial act that
might tend to destroy the. healthful,
sound. sportsmanlike condition of
baseball"

CHRISTMAS TREE TRADE.
Dealers Going 20 Maine woods to
Secure Shipments.

East Stroudsburg, Pa.-More than
a quarter, perhaps half a century
ago, Philadelphia became the princi-
pal market for Christmas trees for
the eastern part of the country, be-
cause at that time the main supply
of the trees came from two counties
of the state, Monroe and Pike, about
one hundred miles distant from the
Quaker City. Later on, when the ex-
tensive mountain forests of that
region were thinned out and the sup
ply of small coniferous trees became
exhausted, the men, for some time
engaged in marketing the trees, re-
NAMED in the business, but they had
to go further east for the purpose of
securing the necessary supply. They
finally went as far as to the virgin
forests of Maine for that purpose and
have been going there now each sea-
son for a number of years.
In the course of time the number
of men engaged in the traffic has
rather increased than decreased, be-
cause It affords an opportunity to
earn some money in a comparatively
short time and without mourning
much of a risk. provided the demand
Is good and marketing. as well as
other conditions, to be considered,
are favorable.
In this town and vicinity alone
there are about twenty-five parties
who have been engaged in this trade
for a number of years and are in
each recurring season subject to
what is called the Maine fever in
their home locality. Most of them
have already left for the wilds of the
distant state to procure the supply
of trees, which they expect to mar
ket this season, while others are pre-
pairing to follow. Many of them,
particularly the larger dealers. have
laid the foundation of this years
trade last season, by looking over the
territory, which they expect to oper-
ate. by making their deals with the
owners of the timbered land. on
which they intend to cut the trees,
and by arranging other preliminaries.
The smaller dealers do most Of
the cutting themselves, while others
either take some help along or hire
the same at or near their place Of
destination.

Next week will bring to the Ken
lucky theater Charles Ram Ken
nedy's famous play. "The Servant in
the House" This daring drama was
produced in Washington a year ago
last March and created such a sen
sation In the national capital that
before the end of the first week the
theatsr was packed at every per
Torrance and hundreds OF applicants
for seats were disappointed at the
box office. The following week II was
presented in New York and utterly
amazed the critics of that city.
Charles Ram Kennedy's drama is
one OF the few modern plays written
with a definite purpose. II is pro-
test against the hypocrisies of con-
ventional religion and conventional
society. II offers the keenest satire
on the evils of the day written since
Dean Swift fiourlshed, aud Il makes
clear a great moral lesson while serv-
ing as an entertainment. For "The
Servant in the House" IL first of all
an entertainment. IL Is a modern
comedy In the best sense, excellently
blended pathos and humor. The cas-
ual and somewhat sophisticated the
atergoer is captivated by the in
tense human interest of the beauti-
full play and the more analytlcally in
clined may delve deeper and find
woven into the text of the surface
story a perfectly apparent symbolic
story in which Charles Ram Ken
needy conveys his message to the
hearts of men. The company assem-
bled by Henry Miller to present this
modern masterpiece Is worthy OF the
play. At the Kentucky Monday,
