REVISE COMMANDMENTS
Rev. DR.. Douglas Would Change Them
to Fit Present Needs.

Washington, April 20. - Rev. Dr..
George w. Douglas, canon of the Ca
thedral of st. John the Divine, New
York city, in speaking before the con-
gress of the Protestant Episcopal
church here, urged revision of the
Ten Commandments as now contained
in the Episcopal prayer book.
DR.. Douglas would have them
changed in such way that present
day congregations would not be wear
led with oxen and asses and slaves
which they do not possess.
DR.. Douglas also would have the
prayer book psalter altered in such a
way that it would be possible to glide
over in silence Objectionable passages
in the psalms. Also. when the prayer
book is being revised he would have
the rubrics give the clergy sufficient
latitude at least to enable them to
pray on occasion extempore in church
without appearing to be either ram
pant or radical"

'CUJ1UmS rnHUDo
Detectives Unearth Another
Conspiracy.
VALUABLE GOWNS SEIZED
Women Charged With Making Agree
ment With Paris Manufacturers
to Falsify Invoices on
Dresses and Laces.

Washington, April 28.--Customs Of
icers have been ordered to seize $780,
900 worth of womens wearing apparel
now in the New York customs Office,
which was shipped from Paris and
consigned to shopkeepers in New
York, Boston, Philadelphia and Balu-
more.
The consignees are the same who
figured in the famous sleeper trunk"
cases last year, when they attempted
to smuggle more than 100000 worth
of clothing through various ports in
the country.
The women implicated are charged
by Chief Wilkie with having formed
an agreement with Partisan manufact-
urers to falsify invoices on model
gowns and laces. The goods were
turned over with the false invoices to
an express company, which acted as
the importer and paid the duty on the
invoices supplied them by the manu-
facturers. These invoices undervalued
the gowns and laces from 10 to 80
per cent. The conspirators depended
by the express company to prevent
careful examination of the goods. The
express company accepted the invoices
as correct on the assurance of the
manufacturers. Technically the express
company was made liable as the act
ual importer of the goods.
After the goods had been received
- a
Partisan manufacturers would mail
second invoice to them showing the
actual cost of the gowns, and on these
second invoices the goods were resold
to American purchasers.
The operations of the conspirators
have been going on for some months
and many thousands of dollars worth
of gowns have been imported. The
customs officials consider that the
seizure of the gowns will be sufficient
to prove up the conspiracy and no de-
cision has as yet been reached to
prosecute the dressmakers.
The names of all the establishments
in this country and the Partisan man
ufacturers who are involved are
known to the customs officials, and it
is practically impossible for any of
the gowns now to get through the
custom houses. Several seizures have
been made in the last few days, and
sharp watch will be kept for future
importations.
The exact extent of the frauds are
not known. Further investigation will
be made, and if the operations of the
conspirators prove very extensive
prosecution will be undertaken.

FRANCE TO INTERVENE
Prompt Action is Necessary to Protect
Foreigners In Morocco.

Paris, April 28.-France notified the
slgnatories to the Algeciras confer
ence agreement that prompt and en-
ergetic intervention in Morocco by
France had become necessary to pro-
tect foreig RS at Fee, re-establish or
der throughout the country and safe
guard the sovereignty of the sultan.
The French cabinet has considered
carefully the possibility of interven-
ton in Morocco within those districts
previously outside the international
police spheres.
The military plans of the war de-
partment were approved by the gov
eminent last week, and fresh troops
have embarked daily for Morocco
since last Sunday, the official an
nouncement being made that some
thing more than 10000 troops would
be dispatched to replace the men in
the coast garrisons which were weak
ened to form two expeditionary col
umns.
When affairs became disturbed in
Morocco the government began an &C.
tive interchange of views with Great
Britain and Spain, which has just re-
suited in identical notes being sent
by the two police powers, France and
Spain, to the other signatories to the
Algeciras agreement, including the
United States.

LRANIS REF UR|M0
Many Concessions to Lead
er of Mexican Rebels.
PENSIONS FOR HIS SOLDIERS
Dia2 Agrees to Practically Every
thing Insurrectos Fought For
and Final Agreement Will
Soon be Reached.
PENSIONS FOR HIS SOLDIERS

FL Paso, Tex, April 28.-Aceording
to reports as to the progress of peace
negotiations with Mexico, Francisco /.
Madero and his insurrectos have been
winning greater victories than they
knew.
II is stated that the Mexican federal
government is agreeing to practically
everything the insurrectos have fought
for except the retirement of Diaz, and
that this is promised as soon as quiet
is restored and he can do SO and save
his face.
Before the instruction free speech
was unknown in Mexico Now the dis
patches from Mexico City say that
trimmings" are administered daily to
Diaz in the chamber of deputies. Peo-
pie openly speak their minds all over
the republic and are unmolested. In
the past they were jailed for months
for such an offense.
Objectionable governor after gov
ernor is being removed and replaced
by men more in touch with the people.
This is particularly true of Durango,
Chihuahua, Jalisco and Pueblo, where
changes have been made since the in
surrection broke out.
Now the national and state con-
gresse are passing reelection laws.
All these things are being done with
out any connection with peace nego-
are the direct outcome of the revolu-
ton.
AS peace plans continue it develops
that the insurrectos are to be allowed
to retain their arms, will have all
their war debts paid, are to receive
pensions for wounds and death the
same as federals, and are in fact to
have practically any concessions they
ask
These are the men Diaz has called
bandits and hoboes. They have proved
themselves too much for his soldiers,
and while they have won no important
victories, their strength is gaining
daily. Even now, with peace under dis
cussion, the insurrectos continue re-
cruiting. and they have no trouble in
finding material. But the outlook is
good for the disarmament of the army
within a month
The United States border guard
having lifted its watch on the private
bridges leading over TO the Mexican
side, Ell Paso folks are fiocking over
to have a look at the rebel encamp-
ment. Sharp lookout is maintained
by the United States soldiers, how
ever, to see that none of these visitors
takes arms or ammunition across.

PRINCESS NOT ALARMED
Troubetskoy Says Wife Isn't Worried
by Chaloner's Threat.

New York, April 29-The threat of
John Armstrong Chaloner that unless
the Princess Troubetskoy relinquishes
her dover rights and abandons the
claim that she loaned him $4,000 he
will resist in the courts any further
payment of alimony did not create a
flutter of alarm at the Troubetskoy
studio in Thirty-ninth street
"These affairs are so crude, so
gross, that a gentleman cannot discuss
them" the prince said. 81 am sure
the princess is not alarmed, and If she
were | am equally sure she would not
tell you SO How can you expect a
woman devoted to her art and unused
to worldly affairs to bare to the world
matters of so personal a nature? But
am sure the princess is not alarmed"

All British Parties Favor
Arbitration With u. 5.
LEADERS ARE ENTHUSIASTIC
Premier Asquith and His Political
Opponent, Mr.. Balfour, Speak
For Taft's Plan From Same
Platform.

London, April 29-Resolutions pIedg
ing the city of London to the support
of President Taft's proposal for Angle
American arbitration were adopted at
a notable meeting in the Guildhall.
On the right of the lord mayor, who
presided and held the center of tenn
porary stage, was Prime Minister As
quith and on his left A. j. Balfour,
leader OF the opposition in the COM
mons.
Massed about the mayor were dig
nitaries of the church and many men
prominent in other walks of life.
Mr.. Asquith and Mr.. Balfour spoke
eloquently of the treaty proposed by
President Taft, declaring that it would
mark a new era in civilization, but
both pointedly disclaimed that a pact
between Great Britain and the United
States for submission of all differences
to arbitration would mean an alliance.
Mr.. Balfour warned his hearers,
than whom he said none in the world
felt more the burden of preparing for
war, that the treaty would not mean
immediate reduction of ornaments.
Speech of the Premier.
Premier Asquith said:
THE unique situation which we
have met to recognize and welcome
has not been organized or engineered
by the apparatus of diplomacy. The
seed which the president of the United
States cast fell on ground prepared to
receive it.
THAT which a few years ago, even
few months ago, might have been
regarded as the dream of idealists,
has not only passed into the domain
of practical craftsmanship. but has be
come the settled purpose of two great
democracies.
THE profound significance of the
new departure is that, between Great
Britain and the United States, what
ever the gravity of the issue and the
magnitude of the interests involved;
whatever the poignancy of the feelings
1t arouses, there will be a definite
abandonment of war as possible So
luton and the substitution of argu-
ment for force, and the suppression
by judicial methods of the old ordeal
of battle"
No Menace to Others Implied.
After declaring that this movement
implied no menace to the rest of man
kind and did not provide for an Anglo
American alliance, aggressive or de-
fensive, the premier continued:
But we may hope and believe that
other things will follow. 1t Is not for
us to dictate or to preach to other ma
lions, but if the United States and
Great Britain renounce war, step
will be taken of Unreasonable and in
significance in the on
ward progress of humanity"
Mr.. Asquith then moved the resolu-
ton pledging the support Of citizens
of London to the proposed treaty.
The resolution was received with
tremendous applause, which continued
until Mr. Balfour rose to second it.
The opposition leader said that An
arbitration seemed near
er fruition now than ever before in
history.
