We have been advised that the re-
port IS being circulated that the name
Of Mr. Hugh Murphy was used as an
entry in our vocal solo contest to-
night, without his knowledge or con
sent
We beg TO deny emphatically this
statement and assure our patrons that
even were it necessary we would not
use this method in procuring bust
ness Mr.. Hugh Murphy was ap-
preached by our Mr.. Kahn for infor-
nation as to some talent to be pro-
cured and voluntarily offered himself
as an entry This fact can be sub
stantiated by Mr.. Cornelius Atcher
who was with Mr.. Kahn at the time,
and the fact of Mr.. Murphy's inten-
tons of appearing in the contest can
be learned from Mr.. Henry Hasenjae-
ger who with Mr.. Murphy purchased
songs for the event.
We wish to make the above expla.
nation merely to convince the public
that we do not attempt to get money
or business under false pretenses,

At First Christian Church Yesterday
and 81 at Sunday School
No Service Tonight.

The meetings al the First Christian
church yesterday were as full of in
terest as any that have been held
since the Clarke evangelists have
been here. There were 81 pupils at
the Sunday school yesterday morning
with two additions to the church, and
one addition last night.
Last evening the music consisted Of
a solo BY Miss Ruth Drollinger, a
duet by Miss Drollinger and Miss
Susie Clarke, and solo by DR.. D. A.
Stevens. The evangelist's subject
was Religion VS.. Christianity and he
presented some startling facts and
figures, and uttered some strong SEN
timents.
Religion, he said, sometimes crowds
Christ out of the church house.
Christianity saves men, not Church
ianty. You can get religion, but not
christianity: ii is life to live. Mil
lions OF people have been destroyed
in the name OF religion Jonah held
the greatest revival ever held at
Nineveh. The mind of man is like
God. Religion. judged by tne charac
teristics of its followers, falls to the
ground and christians stand out as
the enlightened people of all time.
Under the banner of the Prince of
Peace there is progress and ioye for
humanity. Jesus brought the true
gospel that fits human nature the
bible is the book that leads man away
from his animal nature.
There are 80 million christians and
IL million non-christians in the United
States.
The New York bureau OF statistics
gives the following figures;
The Disciples Tor Christian church,
show gain of 50 per cent in the
last five years.
There are seven kinds of Catholics
showing a gain of q per cent in the
same time.
Twelve kinds OF Presbyterians with
a gain of IL per cent.
Seventeen kinds of Methodsts with
gain of per cent.
Eighteen kinds of Lutherans with
gain of 6, per cent.
Thirteen kinds of Baptists with a
gain of per cent.
The Congregationalists show gain
of IS per cent; the Unitarians loss
of IA per cent, and the Universalists
ia loss of 50 per cent.
The population of the world was
731 100000 in 1892, with A million
Professionals and 100 million Catholics.
There were 1,4S7OO0,003 people in

(By a staff Correspondent Of the
United Press.)
PORTO MAURIZlo, Italy, April
11.-"Hello, Clifford! This is fine!"
was RooseveIt's exclamation today
on meeting Clifford Pinchot, former
chief forester Of the United States
and one Of the closest men to
Roosevelt In private and public life.
The meeting Of the former presi-
dent and his former chief adviser
Of the "tennis cabinet" took place
here at the villa of Miss Carew,
sister to Mrs. Roosevelt.
The meeting, which had been
planned several months ago, be-
fore Roosevelt left the United
States, is looked upon as porten-
tious. 1t is believed that Roosevelt
will make up his mind as to his
course of action politically, upon
conclusions formed after confer
ring with Pinchot.
The meeting was early this morn
ing, Pinchot having arrived here
Unexpectedly at midnight. After
a few hours rest at the Palace ho-
tel he appeared at the villa and
was greeted enthusiastically by
Roosevelt.
The greeting of Pinchot by
Roosevelt was made heartier be-
cause the colonel had not expected
to see Pinchot SO soon. They
clasped hands like long lost broth
ers. 1t was almost a case of fall
ing into each others arms.
Roosevelt drew Pinchot into the
house, holding him > saffectionately
by the shoulder. ~A few minutes
later they freappeared and started
for the mountains for stroll,
which lasted two hours.

SURPRISED AT NOT
HEARING FROM TAFT
T. R. and Pinchot Nearly Fall Into
Each Others Arms---Take
Long Stroll.

Nothing to give out" was the
simultaneous ejaculation of both
Roosevelt and Pinchot ON their re-
turn.
1t is fair to assume, however.
that Pinchot fully reported to his
former chief the Ballinger contro-
versy and the insurgent movement
in the house of representatives.
Pinchot let fall one remark that
may be taken to indicate that
Roosevelt has not repudiated Taft.
even though rumor says that he
may be contemplating such action.
Pinchot said that Roosevelt ex-.
pressed surprise at not receiving
any personal messages from Presi-
dent Taft or from any member OF
Taft's cabinet.
Pinchot said that he will remain
here for several days. He appeared
to be in excellent spirits after his
walk with Roosevelt.
WORD FROM TAFT.
Signor Caretti, mayor of Porto
Maurizio, today received the fol-
lowing cablegram from President
Taft:
Received your courteous tele-
gram announcing that Roosevelt
arrived and was received enthusf-
astically by the whole population
and that the city is proud to vel
come him. In reply beg to assure
you and all your countrymen that
the American people are very
grateful for and greatly appreciate
the reception which Italians, from
sovereign to the humblest subject.
have accorded our most distin-
guished cftixen." Z 80 m
Mayor Caretti sent a copy al the
cablegram to Colonel Roosevelt.
