In an AmiCabh Manner as a Result
Of Thursdays Conference --Senate
Passes Statehood Bill 1.-The Ri
val Panama Expositions.

Washington, June 16.-Out of the
three-s sided battle line in the House of
representatives, which has been grad
ually merging for several days toward
mutual ground of conflict over the
question of the reform of the rules.
there grew gradually today the appear
ance of something like an amicable
settlement. After a session of the
rules committee, which lasted through
out most of the day, and two sessions
of the ''Insurgent" Republicans of the
House, it looked tonight as if tomor-
row might evolve a plan upon which
practically all parties and factions of
parties can unite in adopting a re
form" rule.
The rules committee argued, wrote
and drafted for hours over the Clarke
Sherley resolution which seeks to pro-
vide a way for a member to bring into
the House a measure being "smother-
ed in committee. Chairman Dalzell
and the other Regular" Republican
members of that committee. joined
with the Democratic members in en-
deavoring to formulate a rule which
would work out the end desired and be
acceptable to the House.
The fact that the Regular" wing of
the party exhibited d willingness to
join in d reform movement was gen
orally commented upon today as indi-
eating that it was practically conceded
that a rule would be adopted before
adjournment, and that they had de-
cided it the better part of valor t.

court here today, the complainant be-
ing Mrs. Mary Lavender, who seeks
$4,000 damages from the Rev John b.
Crawford, pastor Of the WodlaWn
Methodist Episcopal church. Unusual
interest attaches to the case for the
reason that the jury may have to con-
slider whether a Protestant pastor
should hold invOiate any confession of
a parishioner.
Mrs. Lavender, whose hair is gray,
and who, like her husband. who is con-
siderablY older than herself is a de-
Vout church member. is said by the
Rev. Mr.. Crawford 10 nave made a

honor bound to relate what he had
heard with reference to Mr.. Leek to
Bishop Mcdowell Later the story be-
came public and thereafter Mr.. Craw-

AROUSES ENTHUSIASM.
Letter from Col. Roosevelt StIr'
Worlds Missionary Conference.

Edinburg, Scotland, June ia let
ter from Theodore Roosevelt express
ing sympathy with the movement ana
regret at his inability to be present,
was read at today's session of the
Worlds Missionary Conference. The
communication, which was addressed
to Silas McBee, an American delegate.
aroused much enthusiasm. The former
President wrote:
London, May 16, 1910.
NV Dear Sir: 1t is a matter of real
and profound regret to me that | am
imperatively called away to America,
so that am unable to be present in
person at the World Missionary Con-
ference. | regret it the more as II L
had been able to be present IT would
have been as a delegate from the Dutch
Reformed Church of America. to which
| belong.
Nothing like your proposed confer
ence has ever hitherto taken place.
From many nations and from many
churches your delegates gather on this
great occasion to initiate movement.
which | not only hope but believe will
be fraught with far-reaching good. For
the first time in four centuries Chris
tians of every name come together,
without renouncing their several con-
victions or sacrificing their several
principles, to confer as to what COM
mon action may be taken in order to
make their common Christianity not
only known to, but vital force among
the thirds of the human race, to
whom, as yet, it is hardly even a name.
Surely every man imbued, as every
man should be, with the ethical
teachings of Christianity, must re-
joice in such an effort to combine the
strength of all the churches in the en-
deavor to Christianize humanity, and
to Chrstianize not merely in name but
in very fact.
Your conference represents the
practical effort to apply the. teachings
OF the gospel to what the Epistle of
Jude calls THE common salvation"
An infinite amount of work remains to
be done before we can regard ourselves
as being even within measurable dis
lance of the desired goal an infinite
amount at home in the dark places,
which too often closely surround the
brightest centers of light, and an in
finite amount abroad in those dark
places of the earth where blackness is
as yet unrelieved by any light.
When such is the high purpose to
which you have dedicated yourselves.
it is eminently fitting that your invita-
ton should have gone to all Christian
churches in 81! lands. ! am sure that
