birth of Charles Sumner was observed
today in Boston and Cambridge By
white and colored citizens.
Sunrise services at Summers grave in
Mount Auburn opened today's exercises
and two largely attended meetings in
Boston tonight closed them. The meet
ing at Faneuil Hall was addressed by
former Governor Curtis Guild, Jr., Prof.
Charles Zueblin and Rev. Horace Bum
stead The other meeting, which was
held in Park street church, had as its
principal speaker Governor Eugene N.
Foss, who said in part:
Sumner had no political machine and
he could not call upon privileged inter-
ests to advance his personal ambition,
for he had never served those interests.
His only service was for the people,
What contrast to the time serving SEN

caused that great assembly, the Senate

always been distributed through the
main plant in Minneapolis but the
wreckage of the plant now prevents
this. Men are trying to make con.
nections so power from this plant can
be distributed from various substa.

The three fen injured will recover.
The escape of eleven men from the
building after the explosion is
source of continued wonderment. On
their way to the mill race, through
which most off them escaped, they
were compelled to pick their way
through a mass of charged, tangled
wires, with gaseous flames burning all
around them and bricks and parts of
the building tumbling down from all
sides. Fearing that darkness of the
city may induce lawlessness, the en-.
tire police and detective force is held

STANDARD OIL
CASE B BEFORE
supreme. court
10y Associated PeOos.)

Washington, D. c., Jan. 6.-Some of
the arguments advanced in briefs in
opposition to the Supreme Court of
the United States dissolving the "Stan-
dard Oil" organization, by virtue of the
Sherman antitrust act, today called
forth reply brief by the federal gov
ernment.
This brief was filed in the court by
Attorney General Wickerstam, and his
special assistants, Frank B. Kellogg and
c. A. Severance The government chal-
lenges in particular the attitude of the
Standard Oil attorneys in regard to
what is Combination" referred to in
the Sherman antitrust law. and what is
monopoly" under the same act 1t is
urged on behalf of the government that
the law forbids more than "contractural
combination" whereby each separate
person or corporation contracts to re-
strain the management of his own busi-
ness That view would make the word
combination" in the law mere sur
plusage, it is said, for the word "con-
tract" would cover the whole field. The
government contends that combinations
and monopolies effected by purchase are
just as much within the inllibitions of
the law as combinations effected by
other means 1t is said in the brief
that the Standard Oil attorneys con-
tend that because a person has right
to purchase property he may therefore
purchase the property of competitor:
and even that of all competitors. The
reply is that such was the argument in
the famous Northern Securities case
out that the court held the contrary
view

One new point brought out was that
May Elosser, one of Grace's sisters, af-
ter helping her mother carry Grace's
body from the parlor to the bed, had
been seized with illness which showed
symptoms of poisoning by cyanide. No
connection between this and the deaths
of the others was made apparent by
questioning of witnesses. There was
abundant te timony that careful exam
nations of the bodies by medical men
and chemists showed that cyanide of

poison was brought into the house is
still mystery. All the members of the

ence had been removed and concealed.

New York, Jan. 6.-Eight new in
dictments, one of them superseding
the original indictment, were found
today against Joseph G. Robin, failed
banker and promoter. Two more of
his companies fell foul of the law,
this time represented by the public

committe to contest the validity of
mortgages executed by the company
in favor Of the Washington Savings
bank Of which Robin was president.
1t was proved that title to Driftwood
farm, his handsome country place on
Long Island, passed to his sister, DR..
Louise Robinovitch, q year ago, but
this was not recorded with the coun.
ty clerk until last week after the
Northern Bank of New York had sus-
pended. The eight new indictments
all charge theft of funds aggregating
$780,, 900 from the Washington Savings
bank. No result Of the inquiry now
in progress into the affairs Of the
Northern bank has yet been given out.
A batch Of letters signed, "'Your
Loving Louise" and "Your, son, jog
eph," were turned over to the district
attorney today by relatives, o. Mt
and Mrs. Herman Roblnovltch They
were repudiated by Robin and his sis.
ter yesterday, after they had posi-
lively identified the two as their
children. All letters were addressed
in endearing terms and most of them
asked for money.

Portland, Ore, JAM 6.-The election

convention today in response to gen.

Before Blume concluded his address

Blue said:
I'VE should not pass over certain
criticisms of the president of the

LACK OF CHURCH ATTENDANCE
[Cedar Rapids Republican,
The Rev. Washington GLADDEN.. one
Of the most noted men in the Con-
grega,ional church. has resigned his
pastorate in Columbus, O.. because It
no longer pleased him to preach to
empty pews. In his letter of resigna-
ton he utters wall over the lack OF
interest in Sunday services.
In the case of DR.. GLADDEN. some al
lowances must be made for his great
age He is IS years of age. A man
at that age is not at his best, GER
tainly. he is not in his greatest physi-
cal or mental vigor. But even at that
age DR.. GLADDEN., no doubt, was able
to preach better sermons than most
younger men. His age ought to have
made him more beloved and his ut
terances most fraught with meaning.
The situation complained Of in Column
bus in DR.. Gladden's church is, We
fear, more or less universal, no matter
who the preacher may be and no mat
ter what his message may be. There 10
existant an indifference TO Sunday
services, especially in the orthodox
protestant churches. New sects such
as liberal" churches and Christian
Scientists are able al the present time
to show larger interest and larger audi
ences at the services, while the Cath
Ollie churches have been able to hold
their own, in point Of attendance, even
in the midst OF American indifference.
This Indifference is recognized In the
organization OF such movements as the
Men and Religion Forward Movement.
We have no desire to comment on
the situation. 1t Is enough to present
the facts. We leave them for others.
