University of Chicago Students
Have Another Religion.
Thirteen Editors of Biblical
World Take Responsibility.
TO ACCEPT SCIENCE.
Adherents Will Accept Geology
in Controversy.
Say Record Left in Earth Strata
Cannot Be Impugned.

Chicago, July 6.-Members of the
University of Chicago divinity school
faculty have defined and formulated
the characteristics of a new Chris
tianity.'
The professors note the arrival of
new type of religion in an official
editorial in the current number of the
Biblical World. issued by the Univer-
sity Press.
In the anonymous editorial, re-
sponslbility for which is accepted by
the 13 editors, the university author
tiles point to the coming of the New
Christianity" as type of faith which
snail result in "the releasing of mans
mind from the bonds of tradition and
creed; accept the results of the sci
entlf1c study Of the world and deal in
every day works more than in theo-
logical subtleties. The religion is de-
scribed as Scientific, ethical, practi-
cal and altruistic.''
After stating the necessity of scien-
tlf1c study the author of the editorial
proceeds:
IF there be a. controversy batween
Genesis and Geology the new Christie
anlty VIII stand for geology The rec
ord left in the strata of the earth cam
not be 1mpugned by poet of the pre-
scientific age, even though that poet be
also prophet, cf a higher conception
OF God than had before his day prevail
ed.
I'm conformity to the same principle
+4ae new christianity will accent the
assured results of historical inyestis-a-
ton into the records of ancient times.
Religion has its rights, but SO also has
history, and one of these Is that it be
studied by historical methods

CRASH IN PRICES.
Stocks Undergo Another Heavy De-
cline in Wall Street.

New York. July 6.-There was a
crash in prices of stock with the
opening of the stock market again
today The paralysis of demand and
the free offerings were similar to yes
terday and produced. like results in
the rapid crumbling of prices.
The tone of the comment reported
from interior bankers and the situa-
ton presented by the speculation in
farm lands were not liked. The slump
made low prices for the year in a few
prominent stocks including Union Pa
chic, Reading and United States Steel.
Prices rebounded in the course of
the first half hour. This was after
Reading, Union Pacific, Kansas &.
Texas Wabash preferred, Rock Island.
Chesapeake & Ohio, American Car
and some others had shown losses of
2 " to points and the general active
list 1 to points
Before the days session of the stock
exchange had half expired the market
turned very strong and prices recov-
cred to above last nights level The
Reading led the rally establishing ad-
vances of IL points over yesterdays
last prices.
The weakness of wheat and corn in
connection with reports of favorable
weather for these Erops had a
strengthening effect on stocks. The
downward course of foreign exchange
caused an expectation that gold would
be imported and strengthened the
banking position. There was evil
dence of some buying for support
supposed to be by important bank
ing interest with prices declining.
The uncovered shorts were induced
to buy by this development and helped
on the recovery.

fled that Maloy asked her to use her
influence to persuade her husband to

ing out as d reward for SO voting that
Morford would not have to work for a
railroad any more as he would get
a lump of money
Morford is a switchman and his
father a railroad gateman. He voted
consistently for the conviction of the
defendant.
The older Morford is said to have
testified that the grocer made a SINH
lar proposition to him, urging him to
influence the juror to hold out for
Browne
The offer was not communicated to
the juror and he heard of it FIST after

Stalwart Leaders.

New York. July 6.@Theodore Roose-
welt is to talk politics with regulars
as well as insurgents" When he ar
rived at his editorial office in New
York today after an automobile ride
from Oyster Bay he announced that
he was to see William Barnes, jr, and
James Wadsworth, jr. These men are
two of the leaders of the New York
state Republican organization which
last week went counter to the wishes
of Governor Hughes and Colonel
Roosevelt and defeated the direct
nominations bill.
Colonel Roosevelt set no date for his
interview with these men. His talk
with Mr.. Barnes at least will be de-
layed for some time as the Albany
man sailed today for Europe for a
rest of month. The colonel refused
to make any comment on ~.
Barnes statement of yesterday that
he did not take any orders from "a
former president or governor" Col.
Roosevelt also said that he was to see
Senator Beveridge of Indiana and
Congressman Hamilton Fish. of New
York, soon.
The colonel received a delegation of
Pittsburgers today and promised to
make an address in Pittsburg in the
fall. His address will be on some sub
ject bearing on civics.
Ex-Governor A. J. Montague of Vir-
ginia also called on Mr.. Roosevelt.

BALLINGER IS BACK.
He Says Roosevelt Is Being Deceived
by False Friends.

Washington, July 6.-Secretary Bal
Iinger of the interior department re-
turned to Washington from Beverly
today. Referring to the report from
oyster Bay, that former President
Roosevelt has espoused the cause OF
Representative Miles Poindexter as a
candidate for the senate to succeed
Senator Piles of Washington, the secre-
tary said:
ssIf the published report is true, Mr..
Roosevelt has been led astray by the
deception of people who claim to be
his friends
He added that he had taken no
active part in the politics of Washing
ton for a long while and denied that
he headed the party in that state or
any wing of it.
II do not consider Mr.. Poindexter a
Republican" he continued. "but a
rank Socialist. or rather If he is not
one. he will be one soon."
The secretary declined to discuss the
reorganization of the reclamation SER
vice insofar as it related to Director
Frederick H. Newell, whose fate has
long been a matter of conjecture, ex-
cept to say that he considered Mr..
Newell's relation to the service as its
head misfortune.

HARVEST RUSH IS OVER.
Only Two or Three Counties That Still
Need Hands.

The rush for harvest hands is about
over in Kansas, and the field has been
better covered and the farmers better
satisfied than ever heretofore, so far
as can be learned by inquiry. Tues
day Chas. Harris, director of the state
free employment bureau, sent out teia-
grams to counties he thought most
likely to be in want of hands, including
Rocks, Russell. Ellis, Cloud, Trego,
Thomas, Phillips and Decatur counties.
Up to this forenoon. he had received
answers from nearly all of them, and
only Trego, Thomas and Norton coun-
ties stated that they were still in want
of hands To these a number Of hands
were directed. Many hands had been
directed to these counties who never
arrived at their destination, evidently
having been induced to go to work in
fields before reaching where they were
directed to go.
Mr.. Harris says he is well satisfied
With the work done by the bureau this
year, although it was pretty difficult
for a time, as the demand for men
came from all parts of the state at the
same time, the wheat seemingly hav-

IN A NEW ROLE.
Aviator Hamilton sas a Fire Fighter
Saves a House.

Atlantic City, N. J., July 6.-Friends
Of Charles K. Hamilton, the aeronaut,
are talking today of new role which
Hamilton has assayed, that of volun-
teer fire fighter. He saved a house, too,
by his up to date methods.
Hamilton was going along the road
near Farmingdale, N. J., in his auto
mobile when he overlook a volunteer
fire company toiling along the road,
drawing their fire engine toward a
burning house. He stopped his ma
chine, hooked the engine on and towed
it to the fire. Then it was discovered
that there was no water near enough
to the house to make the engine of
any use.
So Hamilton loaded his machine with
milk cans, drove to the nearest water,
filled the cans and drove back. A
bucket brigade took the cans while
Hamilton took on another load of
empties. He relayed water to the fire
in this manner until the house was
saved s..-.s.,..

Why the Topeka Streets Have Not
Been Flushed.

Would you be willing to drink river
water through your hydrants in order
that the business streets of Topeka
might be flushed and cleaned?
City Commissioner Tandy has de-
cided that you wouldn't and that is the
reason the streets have not been flush
ed for the last few weeks.
Until the new well at the water
works is completed and connected
with the pumps the city is unable to
furnish the street force with enough
water to flush the streets. If the peo-
pie demand a street cleaning, how

in Home State.
HERAPS AT GULLIBLE'

Bank Commissioner ]. y. Dolley TO-
day made public the condition OF tne
Kansas state banks in the quarterlE y
reports for the months of April, May
and June.
The decrease for the quarter is more
than eight millions of dollars but Is
explained as natural. The commls-
sioner raps hard at the guliblllty Oh
the Kansans citing that millions OF
dollars are being extracted from them
in comparative ease by swindlers ana
blue sky merchants.
His report follows: ,..
"There is a shrinkage in deposlts
from the date Of the last call April
1st, 1910, of $S,454,106.52 we eX
pected this shrinkage in deposits. II
is largely due to the demand OF the
farmer on account Of putting in ms
crops, expense of harvest and quite
portion of it was used for the pay
ment of land purchase contracts that
matured in March and April. rms Is
the season Of the year when the de-
posits naturally decrease.
II expect the deposits to very ma
terially Increase from now on and am
quite confident that We will finish the
year with a larger line of bank depos-
its than in 1909.
1.-The wheat harvest is exceeding ex-
pectations The condition of the corn
crop ct this time is very promising,
indeed. Kansas pastures are well
stocked with cattle that will begin to
move to market during August Pros
poets for remunerative prices are eX-
cellent and the general business con-
ditions of Kansas at this time are very
satisfactory.
Il regret to say that the Kansas
people, in this, their day of prosperi-
ty, are easily swindled by the conf
dence and blue sky merchants and they
are paying an enormous tribute each
year for worthless stock and abso-
lutely worthless investments. and l am
certain that l am safe in saying that
of all the millions and tens of millions
that have gone out of Kansas in the
last few years through these lines that
SO per cent of it has been absolutely
lost to the investor. | advise the Kan
sas people to invest their money in
Kansas undertakings. Thee are plenty
of opportunities for them within our
state. and they should cease to con-
tribute their hard earned money to
the fakirs from whom they never re-
ceive any returns

story is regarded by John r. Bradley,
