JUDGE HITS HARD BLOW
TO VICE IN SEATTLE
Restraining Order Prevents Off
ciaIs Protecting Restricted
District in City

SEATTLE, Oct. 15.-An order re-
straining Mayor Hiram G. Gill, CHIEF
sof Police Charles w. Wappenstein and
the city health department from recog-
nizing and protecting district inhaD-
tied by degraded women was signed
by Judge Mitchell Gillian in the su-
perior court today.
The order enjoins property owners in
the district from renting property for
unlawful purposes and also enjoins
the proprietors of houses used for
such purposes. The court refused to
issue a. mandate to the mayor and the
chief of police to close the district,
holding that the court lacked power to
make such mandate.
Sheriff Robert Hodge announces that
he will guarantee enforcement or the
order. This means that hundreds or
white, negro and Japanese women,
many of them slaves, will be driven
from buildings in the neighborhood OF
the railroad stations. Mayor Gill re-
Gently ordered that the women be re-
moved to large buildings farther south,
erected by politicians closely allied
to the city administration, but suit
is pending to restrain the operation
of that district also.
The old district is alleged by the
Public Welfare league to have yielded
$500, 900 in tribute money to the police
since last March and the recall cam
paign against Mayor Gill now in pro-
gress is based on his alleged mainte-
nance of the plague spot.

Delegates in Special Train viii
Inspect Big Plants of
the Country
JUDGE GARY SOUNDS KEYNOTE
Important Changes in Gigantic
Industry May Result
from Gathering
Associated Pressl

NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-Steel makers
from all parts of the world here to
attend the meeting of the American
Steel and Iron Institute devoted today
to seeing New York. Sunday evening
they will start on tour of the coun-
try's big steel plants, travelling in
special train. The itinerary covers an
inspection of the Lackawanna plant at
Buffalo, the steel city of Gary, Ind,
and the plants in Chicago and Pitts
burg.
The members will meet President
Taft in Washington before returning
here October II.
The institute is by far the largest
gathering of international steel men
that has ever taken place in this coun-
try, and it is regarded as probable that
it's organization will result in tremen-
dous changes in some important
branches of this gigantic industry.
The aim Of the institute is to deal
not only with the technical part of the
industry but to take up the CONNER
cial side and invade the domain of
prices.
The suggestions Of several delegates
point out the possibility of the world
wide corporation among the makers of
steel and iron for mutual protection In
the markets of the world in the matter
of production and prices.
Stability of prices was the most i'm
portant topic discussed by these men
at their opening meeting yesterday.
This subject and the allied object of
cooperation came to the front in the
early morning hours this morning, in
the addresses at the close of the big
dinner rendered to the foreign dele
gates by the American steel men.
JUDGE GARY PREsIDEs
Judge Gary presided at the after
dinner symposium, and the special
speakers included Charles M. Schwab,
Sir John Randle, England; Baron Bo-
denhausen, Germany, and William b.
Peat, England.
Sir John Randle said: eve talk
about the day Of SIT rails. What does
it mean? 1t means this, that when that
policy of $17 rails was inaugurated it
brought more misery than was caused
by all the bloodiest battles in all the
history of war. 1t spelled ruin in
thousands OF homes; 1t meant an in
dustrial army laid aside and the work..
ers deprived Of their sustenance. 1t
meant war in commerce and a regime
through which few could hope to sur
vive. 1 believe our gathering together
in this manner viii eventually stop the
destruction caused by the juggernaut
of cheapness, which strikes at the hap
piness of thousands of our fellows"
Judge Gary, whose keynote ad-
dress at the opening session yesterday
urged cooperation for a reduction of
output rather than a reduction of
prices at times when consumers were
not willing to pay the market price,
followed the after-dinner speakers
with remarks which included the fol-
lowing:
"In this day and age when competi-
tion is so great the world over, when
we are in contests for pecuniary Sue
cess, when rivalry is not only en-
phatic but often destructive and bitter,
we in this room advocate the gospel of
peace and good will. Our creed is the
golden rule and we practice what we
preach"

EPISC0PALIANS VOTE DOWN
PROPOSAL TO CHANGE NAME
Favor Separate Bishops for Ne
gro Missionary Districts

CINCINNATI, Oct. 15.-The proposal
to change the name of the church was
lost by one vote in the house of depu-
ties of the Episcopal convention today
The vote by dioceses follows:
Clericals-Ayes, AZ; noes, 10; divid-
ed, 10.
Lay-Ayes, 81; noes, "a; divided, 8.
AS there are sixty-three diooeses rep
resented in the convention by lay leg
islation, it required the affirmative vote
of thirty-two to make the change.
Argument for and against revision Of
the title to the Book of Common Prayer
by dropping the word Protestant and
inserting the words "Holy Catholic
Church" had been made by some Of
the ablest speakers in the house.
Archdeacon b. Talbot Rogers of Fond
du Lac, favorirg the change Of name,
said the proposal was being opposed by
the very element in the church that
began the movement to send mission
aries into the Latin countries.
A victory for the advocates of sepa-
rate bishops for the negro churches was
won in the committee on constitutional
amendments, which reported favorably
the amendment providing for mission
districts on racial lines

CONGREGATI0NALISTS PLAN
GENERALIZATION OF POWER
Delegate Says Act Is Attempt to
Presbyterianize Sect

BOSTON, oct. 15.-One of the most
important and far reaching acts in the
history of the Congregational body
was taken today when the national
council of Congregational churches,
holding it's biennial session in this
city, decided to invest itself with
greater administrative powers and to
work out some plan whereby the ma
tional council would assume a govern
ing power over the various societies,
missionary and others, connected with
the denomination.
Todays decision has been character
lied by one of the delegates as an at
tempt to Presbyterianize Congrega-
tionalism by bringing under one CEN
tralized source of power and authority
the various churches and denomina-
tional societies. which, up to the pres
ent, have been independent bodies.
The action came in the acceptance
of report of the committee of twen-
ty-five appointed to consider matters of
church policy.

is believed to be the purpose of the
government to cancel all the Alaska
coal claims, which cover land estimat-
ed to be worth s1,000,00O000.
Andrew Christensen, chief of the
Seattle field division of the general
land office, who had charge Of the in
yestigation that resulted in the indict-
ments at Tacoma, said today:
"It is not the intention to prosecute
those who allowed their names to be
used. 1 believe a great many Of them
signed powers of attorneys and deeds
of REIMBURSEMENT without knowing the
meaning of them.
POOR MEN INVOLVED
Cornelius Christopher, according to
the information in our hands, operated
in conjunction with M. c., Sweeney,
now dead and with a man named w.
M. Detcher.
"The modus operandi was to go into
saloons and among the poorer classes
of citizens and tell them they had
man going to- Alaska TO stake claims,
and that they, the signers, would get
something out of It If the man found
anything.
"Other citizens, some of whom are
quite we'll known in this city, signed
the power of attorney as matter of
accommodation, not knowing that they
were violating the law.
STRATEGY, after the law of 1904 was
passed, rushed several of his employees
to the field to make locations, paying
them 800 each for the work. These
claims, however, were never pushed to
entry and Strategy came to Seattle and
procured powers Cf attorney, under
which they were reclaimed.
"Christopher interested a number Of
Pittsburg capitalists in his deal and
became president OF the Pittsburg Coal
company He also organized the
Cleveland Coal company and the
Youngstown Coal company, of which
George Simmonds is president. In this
way they disposed of forty-six claims
and profited to a very considerable ex-
tent in the DEAL"
