epitomze the address and, SO, mar
its beauty. From start to finish
its wit, pathos and virile sentiment
proved the heart and brain of the
speaker. For more than an hour
he held the stage, and the wrapt
attention of the audience, broken
only by involuntary outbursts OF
applause, honored his effort. My
sympathy goes out to those un-
fortunates necessarily absent, and
am sure the next time-should
there be a next time-stern indeed
will be the necessity that bars
their attendance. The address

him the best wishes of all.

GREAT UNITY OF CHURCH
Triennial Convention of Episcopal
Church Initiates Movement
Morgan Gives 100000.

Cincinnati.-A gift Of 100000 to
the campaign fund for the worlds
conference on church unity, made
by J.. P. Morgan, served as a fitting
climax at the close of the triennial
convention of the Protestant Epis-
copal church.
Mr.. Morgan was named as treas"
urer of the movement to raise the
funds required to bring about
what is hoped will be the greatest
worlds conference of Christian
churches Throughout the universe.
The joint commission created to
call a world conference On Christian
faith and order was organized and
is preparing to take immediate
action. The Right Rev. Charles An
derson, D. D., bishop of Chicago,
was chosen president; j. Pierpont
Morgan, treasurer, and Robert H.
Gardiner, Me-, secretary. A COM
mittee on place and scope, consist
ing of the Rev. w. T. Manning OF

FREE POSTAGE BLOCKED.
Hitchcock Will Supply Special
Stamps Instead OF Franks and
Save Millions.

Observation-Disclosures that one
of the greatest sources of loss to
the Postoffice Department lies in
the existing method off franking
government mail matter without
check, Postmaster General Hitch
cock has taken the first step toward
remedying the condition. He ap-
proved the issuance of a special
stamp and stamped envelopes for
use instead of franks in the trans
mission of official mail, resulting
from the business of the new postal
savings system. Eventually Mr..
Hitchcock hopes to extend the re-
form to all branches of the govern
ment service.
In the past the transmission of
government and official mail under
franks has cost the government mil
lions of dollars a year. Astounding
abuses Of the privilege have been
noted from time to time. The re-
form is part of the general plan by
which Mr.. Hitchcock expects even
tually to place the Postofflce De-
partment on a self-sustaining basis,
wiping out an annual deficit Of sew
eral million dollars.

LONG, SHORT HAUL.
Section 4 of Interstate Com
merCe to be Enforced.
NO CHANGE UNTIL FEB. II, 1911.
Carriers May File Higher Rates Pro-
vided They Do Not Discriminate
Against intermediate Points High
er Than on August II, 1910.

Washington.-In a formal order
issued the Interstate Commerce
Commission announces it's intention
to administer strictly Section 4 the
long and short-haul %provisiOn) OF
the recently amended interstate
commerce act. The order was the
outgrowth of a hearing held by the
commission many days ago on the
matter of the application of inter-
state carriers generally for relief
under the long and short-haul pro-
vision.
By the terms Of the order there
will be no change in the existing
status or in the present reports OF
carriers until February At, 1911.
They may file with the commission
such changes in rates and tariffs as
ordinarily would be filed in the
course of their business under the
present rate basis or adjustments.
This accords to the transportation
companies the right to file higher
rates or fares to intermediate points
and through rates or fares higher
than the combinations of the inter-
mediate rates or fares, provided that
in so doing the discrimination
against intermediate points is not
made greater than in existence on
August II, 1910.
The commission says that through
this permission, it does not neces-
sarily approve any rates Or fares
that may be filed, all of them Being
held subject to complaint, investi-
cation and, if necessary to correc-
ton if they be found in conflict with
the law.
It is ordered that the commission
reaffirm it's previously expressed
view that a thorough rate or fare
that is higher than the combination
of the interstate rates or fares is
prima facie unreasonable and will
insist upon the application Of that
principle at the earliest possible
date in every instance except pos
sible extreme and very unusual
cases."
This is understood by the COM
mission to mean that only in extra
ordinary conditions will it exercise
it's authority conferred by Congress
to permit in its discretion, technical
violations of the long and short-haul
provision. "
The order provides that such car
riers as may desire to be relieved of
the requirements of Section 4 of
the act shall file with the commits
sion or: or before February II, 1911,
applications as provided by the law.

Injunction Papers Sought Against
, Commissioner to Prevent Arrest.
Likelcd to the Seminole opera
tons in North Carolina, a company
has been refused a license by the
Insurance Commissioner.
Insurance Commissioner McMas-
ter by refusing to license the Home
Equitable Company of Aiken, has
brought about injunction proceed
ings against himself in his official
capacity, in the Supreme Court, and
incidentally revived a discussion of
the kind of company that promises
much yet gives little" to prospec-
tive home-seekers.
Commissioner McMaster has put
his foot firmly down or the COM
pany and after numerous confer
ences between the officers of the
concern and the commissioner, the
matter has reached a legal contro-
versy. The proceedings at present,
are injunction papers against the
commissioner to prevent him from
prosecuting any of the officers Of
the company under sections of the
revised insurance laws of South
Carolina. The return for the State
is being prepared by Assistant At
torney General DeBruhl, who be-
lieves that he will be able to break
the contract that the company puts
it's faith in.

scribed to a corruption fund, of the
distribution of this fund to politi-
clans and to well-known political
