FEDERAL COMPLAINT LAID BE FORE THE HOUSE RULES
 COMMITTEE.
WALL STREETS INVOLVED
Mexican President Charged With Sub sidizng American Officers to Attain Ends Against
 Political Foes.

Washington, June 10.-Charges that President Diaz of Mexico is able to use officers of the United States gov ernment as his tools in prosecuting his political enemies have been placed before the house committee on rules. which is considering resolution of Wilson (Dem), Pennsylvania, to ere. ate a joint Investigating committee.
 It is expected to be shown that Wall street interests owning concessions in Mexico worth $900000,000, given them by Diaz, have forced American off. cers to prosecute mercilessly those Mexicans in the United States who oppose Diaz.
 Basis of Charges.
 Following are the statements upon which the allegation that the laws in America are stretched to aceommo. date Diaz:
 The Guggenheims control absolutely the entire copper output of Mexico, own practically all the smelters and the mines
 The Continental Rubber company, "HlCu COullOlS 10 IitI Ntul Ol lut worlds output of rubber, and in which John D. Rockefeller. Jr.. is said to be the largest individual stockholder, is in control of nearly all of the rubber producing lands in Mexico.

 The Southern Pacific Railroad com pany and the Hartman railroads con trol two-thrds of the railway lines in MeXico-about 5000 out of 12,500 miles.
 The sugar trust has gained a prac- tical monopoly in the beet sugar busi- ness in Mexico through recent ex- elusive concession granted by Diaz.

CHURCH IS iI YEARS OLD
Baltimore Congregation Plans to
Celebrate Birthday.
First Baptist Church Has Had but
Seven Pastors I'm It's
Long History.

Baltimore. Md. Nov. 24.-The First Bap-
fist Church Of this city will on November
q begin a weeks celebration Of its 18th
anniversary. with some distinguished
speaker from the North or tbs South each
night During the 125 years of its life
this church has had only seven pastors,
a record that is thought is hardly equaled
by any other church in the country. This
church has followed the policy OF sup
porting its pas.o.s who have had 10 retire
on account OF age. The first pastor, after
serving for thirty-three years, found il
necessary because of age and infrmities
TO resign, and he was voted life pension
OF $500 year, which hundred years ago
was regarded as a fair income. Another
pastor. who altar long service also re-
signed on account OF age, was made pas
tor emeritus at a salary OF $1,000 a year
for life
Though the organization OF this church
took place in 17S5. it was really the out
growth OF a congregation Of Baptists who
had been meeting together since i773, or
prior to the Declaration of Independence.
Even in 1913 land must have been vallia-
bic. for the records show that the congre-
cation paid $50 pounds for half acre on
which to erect its building.
The first pastor Of The church occupied
that position for thirty-three years. the
next for three years. the third for thir-
teen years. the fourth for sixteen years,
the fifth for forty-three years, and the
sixth for fifteen years. the incumbent
Rev. o. c. S. Wallace, D. D.. having en-
tered upon his pastorate in 1905
In the lbs years OF its history the con-
gregation has had three church edifces
the one now occupied having been built
in 1871 at a cost OF about So, 900, and en-
larged few years ago at an additional
cost OF about s65, 900.

THE AMATEUR PHYSICIAN.
Specialist Who Has Never Studied
Medicine, but Knows All About IL.

From the Los Angeles Herald.
II is astonishing how many amateur
physicians one meets nowadays. Briefly
defined, the amateur doctor is person
who has never studied medicine al all.
but who believes he knows more about
such things as smallpox. the use OF calo-
mel, &C.. than the men who have studied
and worked at these problems for a life
time.
Usually the amateur doctor is special
list His speciality may be anti-vaccina-
ton, or the danger Of calomel or the
interference with the relief Of suffering
in its broadest sense by protesting labora-
tory experiments upon animals under
anesthesia.
But now AMI then We run across a gen.
eral practitioner. Recently the writer
met one, musician by profession. who
studies medicine in the new thought"
magazines and criticlses the regular med
Zeal profession as an avocation during
leisure hours. From him the writer
learned that vaccination is a crime; that
a doctor who administers calomel 10
little child deserves 10 be shot; that the
germ origin OF disease is more than
doubtful; that the medical profession has
been grossly remiss in not adopting hyp-
notism into everyday practice. and that
medical ethics are an abOminatiOn on the
face of the earth.
/ In exchange for all this information
the writer asked a question-namely:
What should be said OF a medical man
who has never studied music-except by
mail, perhaps--if he should volunteer the
opinion that the music of Beethoven is
devoid OF merit: that the banjo is more
musical than the violin; that ''ragtime"
Is superior TO the music of Edward Mac
Dowell, and that music is not so much
of an art after all?
The trouble with lay critics is that they
mistake the complexity of the ply
sician's problems for inability on the
part OF .he physician himself. Doubtless
medical men, as a class, are about as In
telligent and honest as any other class
Of experts. and ii is the part OF wisdom
for the outsider to stick TO his own bust
ness, relying upon the men of medicine
to solve their own peculiar problems with
