HIGHER CRITICISM
GAINING, SAYS DAY
Professor in San Francisco Theo-
logical Seminary Discusses
Bible Study on Coast
(Associated Press)

FRESNO, Oct. 23-In a personal
statement published today, Dr. T. f.
Day, professor in the Old Testament
department of the San Francisco The
olegical seminary, whose attitude OF
higher criticism of the Bible was con-
demned by the Presbyterian synod, as
serts the vote of 16S to so marks an inn
portant stage in Biblical study on the
coast.
Every movement has it's critical
periods" he states, and again, later,
truths rewards are for the man who
gives up all for her sake. She hides
her secret from the Intellectually lazy
and from the morally insmcere."
BIBLE STUDY ON COAST
Higher criticism on this coast has
made less headway than elsewhere,
says DR.. Day, because it is a newer
country and men are too busy to en-
gage in deep Bible study. The ap-
parently true hypothesis here are ac-
eepted as the true. The wavering vote
on other questions than the Mosaic
authorship of the pentateuch is con-
sidered by DR.. Day as an indication
of uncertainty as to how far condem-
nation of higher criticism should go.
He closes as follows:
"Surely the mind that was made for
truth cannot forever bar it's free en-
trance. We may confidently hope that
the ecclesiastical liberty won by Chris
tian scholars in Scotland, England,
Canada and the eastern sections of our
own country will not long delay its
coming to our western coast, where
strangely enough the paradox presents
itself of church more conservative as
a rule than may be found elsewhere,
surrounded by conditions that in other
spheres-politics literature, education
make for the greatest possible free

FEAR HURRICANE SENT
STEAMSHIP TO BOTTOM
Last Hope Disappears for Safety
of BIuefieIdS, and Twenty
Nine on Board

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 2S.-The last
hope of the survival of the Norwegian
steamer Bluefields of the Vaccaro com
pany, caught in the gulf hurricane,
near the Yucatan channel, more than
a week ago, disappeared tonight when
the steamer Corinto reached New Or
leans without tidings of her. The Co
rintc sailed from Ceiba, Spanish Hon
duras, last Wednesday, following the
course always taken by the Bluefelds.
That the Bluefields was lost with the
twenty-nine persons aboard, including
besides the crew the wife of Capt.
Lange, is the general belief
The belief that the British steamer
Crown Prince, Capt. r. Kirkwood,
with a crew of thirty-five men, bound
from Santos and last reported at Bar
BADGES October Z, went down in the
storm, was strengthened by the con-
tinued lack of tidings today.

PREDICTS RUIN
BEFORE YIELDING
Denver Strike Official Says the
Buildings "WiII Blow Up" Be-
fore PreSsmen Give In

DENVER, Oct. 23.-Prediction by a
labor union national official that the
buildings of three local newspapers
whose pressmen are on strike will en-
counter destruction before the publish
ers win electrified the Denver Trades
and Labor assembly at a meeting this
afternoon.
The speaker was Albert B. Kreit1er,
third vice president of the Interna-
tional Printing Pressmen and Assist
ants Union of North America, who
appeared before the assembly asking
aid in the strike.
When he had finished a committee
was appointed to investigate the situ-
alton.
Kreitler spoke rapidly and after the
first few minutes with vehemence, but
he suddenly slowed down and seemed
to pick his words.
'I tell you the buildings will blow
up before this thing is settled the way
the publishers want to settle it, he
said.
He finished his speech amid great
quiet.
Persons who attended the meeting
directed attention to the careful phras-
ing of the prediction, particularly to
the fact that Kreitler did not say the
buildings "would be blown up"

suspected of the dynamiting
The discovery of "a portion of the pos

TWO AEROPLANES
SMASHED BY WIND
Heavy Weather Prevents Flights
at Second Day of Interna-
tionaI Aviation Meet

NEW YORK, Oct 23.-There were
two smashups, no flights and 1900 dis
appointed spectators at the second day
of the international aviation meet at
Belmont park, Long Island, today.
The wind was so strong that only
two ayiators, Grahame- White and
Moissant, cared to dare 1t, and both
of them came to grief, though without
personal injury.
There is great dissatisfaction among
the Frenchmen entered for the Gordon
Bennett speed race. Alfred lie Blanc,
champion cross country flyer Of France;
Emile Aubrun, his pupil, and Hubert
Latham, all Complain that the course
is not laid out according to the rules
of the Federation Internationale and
LIE Blanc wrote to the Aero club of
France ten days ago asking If the
French team should compete.
They expect instructions by cable to-
morrow or the day after at the latest.
Four Frenchmen here to compete for
the altitude, distance and duration
prizes are not affected, but the Gordon
Bennett cup is the red letter event of
the aeronautic calendar. 1t brought
the international cup to this coutryn,
ana with IL Ine second 1nLeTudIlOnd1
meet. To have the Frenchmen desert
would rob the tournament of more than
half of it's interest.
TWO CONTESTANTS ENTER
When the bomb sounded for the first
distance event this afternoon only
Grahame- White and Moissant came
out White chivied his machine into
the wind and rose cautiously. He
needed all his caution, for even at a
height of not more than forty feet he
pitched like ship in heavy storm,
and in alighting careened to one side.
Splinters went flying into the air. The
whirring propeller had touched, and
both blades were smashed to splinters.
Moissant never got off the ground,
but his machine was much more badly
damaged. The wind picked it UP out
of the hands of his machinists and let
it fall again. Both of his planes were
crumpled, his rudder was broken and
the crank shaft bent.
White said his damage could be re-
paired in a couple Of hours. Moissant
hoped to have his machine repaired
by Tuesday. Both his machines are
now out of commission and unless he
can borrow one he will not be able
to fly tomorrow.

ical character. The precise motive is
not clear.

hospital at Camp Columbia His thigh
bone was shattered, but his condition
is favorable.
The identity Of his assailant is still
doubtful Manuel Fernandez, a city
patrolman, absent from duty without
leave, was arrested. He denied all
knowledge of the shooting, and neither
Guerrero nor a policeman who was
shot while going to the generals as
sistance was able to identify him.
