Rev. Dr. John Hunter, the leading Congregational preacher of Great Brit ain, will preach in the Universalist church, Fairfield avenue. tomorrow evening. The Universalist church has months in preaching and featuring throughout the country.
 Just what is the significance of the visit of Dr. Hunter of Scotland to the Universalists of this country? The question was answered as follows:
 3'It should be- understood that pr. Hunter is a Congregationalist. and his church in Glasgow is affiliated with the Congregationalist denomination of Great Britain. Dr. Hunter has not become member of the Universalist things in connection with the Univer- salist Church which are vitally con- nected with the life of the Christian Church. And he is coming here to study our Church at close range and give our people an opportunity to study him and his message.
 ''The religious situation in Great Britain does not differ greatly from the condition here. in that there has been growing in recent years a feel ing of Hberality. spirit of breadth, in the Church itself. The old ortho- oOX OOcIrlIleS nave BrduudllS Sllppeu out of sight and are no longer pro- claimed; but the new, positive, liberal fath has not yet taken organic form.
 'The incident which occurred during the visit of Dr. Campbell to this coun- try several years ago will show the exact condition. pr. Campbell was speaking to the ministers of Boston about conditions in Great Britain, and at the close of the address he gave permission to any present to ask ques- tionS. Some one asked: What about the Universalist Church in England?' pr. Campbell answered: There is no Universalist Church in England.' The answer was followed by applause from some of the audience; as soon as it had ceased. and waiting until the si- fence was impressive, Dr. Campbell continued, But Universalism is in every pulpit in Great Britain
 Probably that was more than the truth for when he returned to Eng land and began to be more pronounced in his preaching of liberal theology, he found that he was being separated from many of his former brethren, and when. later, he became interested in political reform, and out of harmony belief, and who are equally out of har- mony with that form of liberalism which is so radical as to destroy the essential Christian character of the Church. These men are asking them selves and each other. just where they belong. They first of all demand, theological honesty and mental liberty, and some of them, looking across the sea. said: Is not what we are seeking to be found in the Universalist Church of America? There is a Church which is distinctly and positively Christian in it's belief. and yet is broad enough to make room in it's fellowship for per feet individual liberty. Has it not something to teach and to give?'

Dr. John Hunter Great Congregational Clergyman of Great BTai
 Who Extends Hand Of Fellowship to UniveSaiSS

'tSo far as the final outcome of Gods s purpose. Dr. Hunter, together with many others in the old country, is a Universalist. He has preached that message for years. but as with us now, that great end is but a corollary of the faith that is simply Christian. He recognizes in the Universalst Church the organic form of that towards which the thought and life of all lib- eral Christianity is reaching.
 'Dr. Hunters coming means that in the mind and heart of this leader of the Congregationalist Church of Great Britain, the Universalist Church is no longer on the outside, but in the front rank of the Christian forces of the world. He believes that the Univer- salfst Church has the greatest contri- button to make to the Christian forces of this modern world. and he is frank enough to say so, and to come across the ocean to extend the hand of fellow ship.
 And his coming means yet more, for while one hand is thus extended in fellowship to us, the other Is graSped by a great company of those who seek freedom from old doctrina1 re- straints, and yet would remain within the historic bounds of the Christian Church. To both he brings a mes sage from our common Father, in the spirit of our common Master.
 Dr. Hunter comes not to the Uni versalist Church alone, he comes through that Church to the Christian Church of America.
 ''It is the honor and privilege of the Universalist Church to open the door,"
 Rev. Dr. John Hunter of Glasgow, who preached the sermon before the Fourth, or Boston. Congress of Relig- ious Liberals, was born in Aberdeen, Scotland. At the age of seventeen ht entered the Congregational College at Nottingham, with the serious purpose of devoting himself to the ministry. Spring Hall College, Birmingham (now known as Mansfield College, Oxford). In 1871 he was invited to take charge of the Salem Congregational Church in York, beginning his ministerial ca reer with the care of a congregation of nearly fifteen hundred souls. AL though little more than out of his teens, the young clergyman had the courage to tell his people that the am- bition in his calling was to secure mot so much a numerous church as church thoroughly earnest in Christian service and independent in thought and utterance." To this ideal he has been true during his entire career in the ministry. A free pulpit has ever characterized it. Eleven fruitful years were spent at York In 1882 MT. Hun ter left its greatly augmented congre- SoIIOil lo UCCOIlc pdSlOI O1 WyCllIc Church. Hull. He had been only four years pastor here when a deputation from Trinity Church, Glasgow, urged upon him the acceptance of their va cant pulpit. He was finally induced to make the transfer to his native Scotland. and began in 1887 that long and conspicuous term of service in Glasgow which has made him renown- ed as a preacher and teacher not only in the Scottish metropolis, but through out the three kingdoms

JINGLE JOE AND
 SUNNY JIM MUST
 HIRE CHAUFFEURS
(Special from United Press.)

Washington, June GA deadlock de- yeloped today between the two branches of Congress on the question of having the government pay for the .sISeep'' of the automobile used by wee President Sherman and Speaker Can non. A year ago Congress gave the gayel Wielders automobiles for use dur ing their official terms. An effort has been made this session to get 1n- to an executive bill an appropriation of s2.5OO for the chauffeuring ana other expenses of each of the machines, next year.
 The House, after lively debate, de- cided that the Vice President and Speaker should pay their own automo- bile expenses, but the Senate rein serted two $25OO items. The House refused to accept the amendment and it was referred to a conference com mittee the members of which were Senators Warren, Elkins and Foster, and Representatives Gillette, Graf and Livingston.
 nittee often pondered much and reached agreements on many cOmpl1- cated questions but not on the auto mobile item The Senate conferees stood firm for the appropriations and the House trio held out. It is the gen. eral rule that when an unbreakable deadlock occurs in conference the branch of Congress that has the ob- iectionable item shall withdraw. Ap- plication of the general rule would mean "Uncle Joe' and Sunny Jim'' will have to hire their own chauf- feurS.

RULE TO GOVERN
 FLOATING OF OYSTERS
Must be in Water as Saf as That
 in Which They Grow

Washington, June 6-The long ex- pected decision of the agricultural de- partment's pure food board with ref erence to the floating of oysters in Connecticut and elsewhere has at last appeared and Connecticut oystermen are expected to be guided by the de- cision which is as follows:
 Considerable evidence has been sub- mitted to the department since the is- suance of food inspection decision no on the practice of floating or drink ing oysters in water of less saline con- tent than that in which they were grown to maturity. Full consideration has been given to all the hearings and to the briefs and other information submitted subsequent ito the hearings and the board is of the opinion that it is not improper to drink oysters in water of a saline content equal to that in which oysters will grow to matur- ity If, however oysters are floated in water of less saline content than that in which oysters will properly mature, the packages containing such oysters must be very clearly and legi- bly, labeled "F1oated Oysters other wise they will be considered adulter- ated under section of the law.
 Particular attention should be paid by the growers and handlers of ov- sters to the character of the water in which the oysters are brought to ma- turity or floated. Where such waters are polluted it will invariably follow that the oyster will also partake of this pollution and subsequent washing of the oysters or even floating in wa ter which is not polluted is likely to cleanse them of this pollution. Ov- sters found in interstate commerce in a polluted condition because of the character of the water in which thev are grown or floated are adulterated under the food and drug act"

New York, May 30.-Glenn H. Curtiss
told his own story of the flight from Al
bany to New York as follows.
My feelings at the start were varied.
All wanted or thought of at the moment
was to get started at the most favorable
time. We had taken every possible pre-
caution and once started / found myself
going well and flying high and strong. l
rose Immediately to a height of about zoo
feet and kept at that average most of the
way. 1t is hard thing to tell just what
height you are travelling at. I could tell
much better from the ground than from
above.
Presently 1 found wire vibrating. II

happened through friction in vibration,
the consequences might have been disas-

it held out.
MY sensations in flying so high and

what my sensations were. l was too busy
to have any. AT Poughkeepsie / was a

to shut off the power too high UP might

So 1t Is ticklish matter that takes up

"One thing L noticed particularly. The
engine l use has no muffler, and 1t makes
so much noise that could not hear whis-

this noise that when l landed at>Pough-

MYSTERY OF LITTLE GIRLS
DISAPPEARANCE is SOLVED
BY FINDING HER DEAD BODY
Appeal For Union Issue1
By General James GNrdon

Washington, May 30.-(Special) Gen.
James Gordon, who, as United States sem
ator from Mississippi, deeply stirred the
nous farewell speech on the floor of the
Senate, again appeals for more perfect
reunion on Decoration Day.
In a communication the gentle and
kindly southerner renews his plea as fol-
lows:
I'VE join together on Memorial Day to
decorate the soldiers graves; not the
soldiers of the north. nor the south, but
the graves of the United States soldiers
For many years. in many places in the
south, we have decorated the gray and
blue alike; especially did wo do this when
there were few northern people present
to assist in the beautiful ceremony OF
paying respect to their dead.
Among the confederate veterans the
old-tlme prejudices engendered by the
war have passed away attended the re-
union at Mobile, Ala, and did not hear
an expression of opinion from any vet
eran that had in 1t one single note OF
Ill will toward northern veterans.
The time is near at hand when all
hatred of soldiers on either side Will be
buried If any body Of federal veterans
should attend on Decoration Day spot
where the soldiers of both armies min
gled their dust, feel sure that the good
feeling that prevails among those who
We're bona fde soldiers in both armies
would cause them to greet each other
kindly and tenderly, and the only rivalry
would be in courteses.
"A better feeling, ] am sure, pervades
the entire nation. The sentiments ex-
