MEN AND RELIGION MOVEMENT IS
GREATEST RELIGIOUS WORK Of YEAR
With Principal Cities Headquarters Christian Lay
men Will Push World Campaign = Automobiles
Used in Religious Work in West Mission
Boards Sound Note Of Warning to
Church Members

Men of promince in the professions
and business of the United States and
Canada are lending their names and
giving personal attention to an ef-
fort to put into heads and hearts OF
men and boys more knowledge OF the
bible. higher ideals of conduct and
greater inclination to work at their
religion. Their common plan is the
men and religion movement, which
opens its campaign IN St Paul and
Minneapolis on the first week in Oc-
tober.
1t is not a ministers plan. but
scheme wholly in the hands OF laymen
It's serious character is seen from the
fact that behind it are James G. Can
non the New York banker; R. A Long,
the famous Kansas City lumberman; Z.
f. Milliken, the millionaire developer
of the Maine forests; Fred Z. Tasker
and Frank Harvey Field, New York
lawyers in Wall street; James H. Post,
with the Havemeyers in the sugar
trust; James NJ Speer, the greatest
linen merchant in America; Edward H
Bonsau. the Philadelphia banker, and
respective cities like E. NJ. McBrier Of
Buffalo, Ralph w. HARRISON, Of Pitts
burg; James D. Hustled, of Denver, and
Benz F. Edwards, of St Louis.
Giving up their vacations, 318 men
of the stamp Of the foregoing just met
for week on Lake George and day
and night throughout this time, earnest
ly planned the campaign There were
present men from the Canadian north
west. and the Maritime provinces of
the dominion. Men were also there
from New York and Philadelphia.
Some even got leave from Washington
and its reciprocity bill, not then
passed, to go and talk religion.
The business plan, which these
Christian 1aymen have adopted marks
an advance in religious method. The
principal cities are reckoned head
quarters and in them have been form
ed committees of business men repre-
senting all churches. Between Octob-
er and May next social weeks, some
what-after the plan of Catholics Of
continental Europe, will be held in
nearly 100 cities. These include Hall
fax, St John, Montreal, Toronto, Lon
don, Winnipeg and Vancouver, in the
dominion, Boston and all large cities
west to St Louis In the north, Rich
mond Atlanta, New Orleans, Nashville
and Memphis in the south and Denver,
Salt Lake City, Los Angeles, San Fran
cisco, Portland, Tacoma, Seattle and
Spokane in the Rocky mountain and
coast regions Apart from these main
social weeks, auxiliary ones are plan
ned in tributary cities, SO that athe
whole country is theoretically TO be
covered These meetings are net mass
conventions. with dinners, but are in
stitutes, arranged almost as are col-
1ege courses, and every hour Of every
day for the week is given its part.

rangement, and preaching, praying.
talking, selling bibles and giving away
tracts, wherever two or three, many or
few, can be gathered. Evangelists re-
port the work productive of much
good, and news from communities Wis
tied, such news arriving by the way OF
missionary societies, is in all cases
favorable.
The old fashioned Methodist itiner-
ate system has come in again, a grip
under an auto seat taking the place OF
the old saddle bag. Christian people In
small towns, cut off from religious
privileges, have heard of the new auto
plan and are not only appealing to
missionary societies to arrange tours
TO include their settlements, but In
some cases are offering to contribute,
in company with other settlements, the
auto that will make the plan feasible.
Catholic and Protestant, America, Ca
NADIA and a good part of Europe are
introducing the automobile.

AGENT AsCRIBEs CAUSES

AGENT ASCRIBES CAUSES
OF TROUBLE IN HAITI
Religious and educational conditions
in Haiti, where there is at present 8
revolution. are described as most un-
favorable by the agent of the Ameri-
can Bible society, stationed at San
Juan, Porto Rico, but having San
Domingo and Haiti in his field. The
Rev. w. F. Jordan, careful observer
and experienced in religious work
among West Indians, quotes natives as
wondering why the United States
Christians send so much money to
China, Japan and East India, and pass
needy fields, where ignorance, sick
ness and poverty reign in the midst Of
tropical plenty.
The society's agent describes chill
dren as neglected, sanitation almost un-
known, the marriage relation loose,
and whole sections of the island, even
large communities where the exist
ence of the bible is not dreamed of.
Sales of bibles and new testaments
reached large numbers last year, so
eager are the people to be taught. The
report expresses the conviction that
for needy field, where conditions are
ripe. hardly one in the whole world
is greater, and because of it's nearness
has a stronger appeal to Americans.
Episcopalians do most Of all Ameri-
cans at present for the island, but limit
their work wholly to Haiti, and give
nothing to San Domingo. This church
has for some years been sending s12,-
600 a year into Haiti, maintaining Is
to 20 clergymen, and having churches
in most principal settlements. It's work
dates from 1861. Circuits of the coun-
try have been laid out. and clergy are
supplemented by laymen in ministering
to them. The entire membership is less
than 1000, however, and fewer than
500 are in the Sunday schools.

LEGISLATURE SPLIT.
Regular Democrats Control Senate,
FusiOniSts the House.

Regular Democrats Control Senate,
Fusionists the House.
Nashville, Tenn, Jan. 2.-The
fifty-seventh biennial session of the
General Assembly of Tennessee began
to-day, but little was accomplished.
The Senate, fully under the control
of the regular Democrats, perfected
organization without difficulty, by
electing all the nominees of the
Democratic caucus, including N.
Baxter, Jr., as Speaker. The Repub-
lican and Independent candidates
were withdrawn.
In the House the situation was,
however, entirely different. The Re-
publicans had agreed to support the
choice of the Independents for
Speaker, chief clerk and assistant
clerk. The Independent Democrats
caucused in the morning and the
regulars also held star chamber
session.
Seven less than a quorum answer
ed roll call in the House, but after
some wran Cling the fusionists pro-
ceeded with temporary organization
by electing j. Harvey Swami,
Speaker, and Fred T. Wilson, clerk.
The regulars floor leader, Mr.. Pur-
year, objected to every move. His
objections were all overruled.
At 3 o'clock another session was
held, with 62 members present, but
on motion to go into permanent Or
ganization the regulars refrained
from voting. The fusionists, how
ever, proceeded to elect A. M. Leach
permanent Speaker. The other
members withheld their votes. Will
son was elected clerk and Chas.
Cason assistant.
The fusion forces expect that
enough regulars will come over to-
morrow to make a quorum. This,
however. is considered doubtful.
Half a dozen or more notices of
contest were filed by fusionists in the
House this afternoon, and at least
two Senatorial seats will be contest

CURTAuMENT IN PROSPECT.
Cotton Goods Situation is Unsatisfac'
factory to Mills.

New York, Jan. 1.-The year clos
ed with the cotton goods market
steady but quiet. Prices appear to
be firm, but they offer mills no mar
gin for profit on many of the staples,
while cotton rules high. In manu-
featuring circles curtailment Of pro-
duction is being urged and in mer-
camille housese it is felt that produc-
ton is running ahead of the demand
for the time being.
Export Trade.
The volume Of export trade with
China in the last weeks Of the year
reached at least 10000 bales and the
market is firm on a basis of 6A
cents for four-yard Sc by COS. The
demand for ginghams and fancy wash
fabrics of sheer construction holds
good. Staple prints have sold well
and are being delivered freely for the
spring trade. Bleached sheetings are
held firm on a basis of cents for
fruit-of-the- loom, but the demnad is
of a hand-to-mouth character. COL
ored cottons have been sold fairly
we'll on the low grades, but mill
agents complain of lack OF profit at
present prices.
The Yarn Market.
The demand for plain constructions
of fine cloths is lighter and in fancy
goods, silks and cottons sell rather
better than other lines.
The cotton yarn market continues
quiet with values held fairly steady.
Of the 175,OO0 pieces of print cloths
sold in the last week of the year
at Fall River about $4,000 consisted
of 27 in Sc by SIS for substitute
count print. The mills in that city
are carrying comparatively small
stocks and are discussing the need
of curtailment when January con-
tracts begin to expire.

business"
Witness could not recall if he
bought the two-story brick building
in the town of Batesburg valued at
$4,000 before or after he was on the
State board, nor did he know as to
the six acres in town of Batesburg.
Ready for Trial.
When asked to name parties to
whom he had conveyed real estate in
the past two years he said he could
not do so as "they were too numerous
to mention" Asked how much he
had conveyed to his wife during that
period witness replied. Il can not
swear, because am not in a position
to say, some few tracts of land.' In
trying to get at the value Of the land
witness had conveyed to his wife
counsel asked him if he had con-
veyed as much as $4,000 worth to
her, and the evasive answer was, Il
did not pay or receive from her that
much money for said property con-
veyed.'
More than once during the exam
nation the witness emphasized the
fact that he was ready for trial in the
famous graft case," to use his ex-
preston, and he seemed to take de-
light in saying he had never asked
for continuance and had been at
every court since the indictment was
found against him, and he would be
there next time court met.
The examination occupied several
hours and was at times very interest
ing.
The hearing was continued until
next Monday.

GAMBLING IF LOSER
AT BILLIARDS PAYS
Recent Ruling BY the state Legal De
partment Is Of Startling
Character.

The proprietor of a billiard hall who
permits the loser at a game of bill
liards to pay the cost of the game is
guilty of maintaining a gambling place
and as such is liable to prosecution.
This rather startling condition of at.
fairs has been discovered in ruling
made by the state department Of JUS
tice and sent out in a general letter
of instruction to county attorneys and
mayors OF cities.
The billiard game proposition Is be
ginning to bob serenly to the top and
may cause some trouble. especially In
the smaller towns where reform work.
ers are seeking to close the pool and
billiard halls. In his letter to county
attorneys he quoted from an opinion
given by former Attorney General
Rabley In which that official said !:
Playing at billiards or pin pool with
the agreement that the losing party
shall pay for the games played is
gambling
