DR.. HILL FOR RECIPROCITY
Criticises Senate's Action and
Praises Taft.

At the Metropolitan Temple last evening
Or. j. Wesley Hill preached a sermon on
reciprocity. taking as his text the verse
from st. Matthew. Whatsoever, therefore.
ye would that men should do to you, do ye
even so unto them" DR.. Hill said. In part:
The magic word taken up by President
Taft within the last few weeks passed by
the House and killed In the Senate is the
result Of failure on the Iart of the latter
body to subordinate partissDship to patriot
ism. sectlonalism TO nationalism and party
politics TO real statesmanship. BE It said
to the praise Of the House that II passed
that body by an overwhelming majority.
I'VE are now confronted with call for
an extra session. No other action would
be worthy the independence. dignity and
craftsmanship OF President Taft. Congress
was advised Of the certainty Of this call,
and now the fact that there is apprehen-
sion in the business world is due not TO
any failure upon the part Of the President.
but TO the cowardIce, compromise and mar
row partisanship within the halls OF our
national legislature"

LAND UNDER HUDSON IN SUIT
New York Central Wins Novel
Condemnation Case.

[By Telegraph to The Tribune.
White Plains, y. Y, March 5.-The novel
question as to who owns the land under
the Hudson River, the state or the prop
erty owners, and whether a railroad COM
pany has a right TO condemn such land for
railroad purposes. has just been decided by
Supreme Court Justice Arthur S. Tomp-
kins, allowing the corporation 10 bring
condemnation proceedings.
The proceedings were brought by the New
York Central Railroad Company against
Catherine T. Matthews. James s. Vancort-
landt, Ann s. Vancortlandt and the people
OF the State of New York. The company
seeks 10 condemn uplands and land under
water near Peekskill. The title TO the lat
ter is In dispute between the State Of New
York and the defendants, Matthews and
Nancortlandt. who argue that they are the
owners In fee OF the land under the Hud-
son under a charter granted TO Stephanus
Vancortlandt by William III dated June I,
1897.
The Attorney General appeared before
Judge Tompkns and said that the railroad
company could not acquire the lands under
water from the state because they were
held by the state in trust for the use OF
the people. but Judge Tompkins denied his
motion TO dismiss the company's petition
and allowed the company to condemn.

Calls Attention to Daily Sermons To Be
Read in the Newspapers.

The Rev. Or. Christian f. Reisner, pastor
OF Grace Methodist Episcopal Church, West
l04th street, preached yesterday on "Hav-
ing Fun" and told his congregation how
certain kinds OF so-called FUN" led to un-
happiness and misery. He said the daily
newspapers contained many sermons, IL
read Alright. and that even the terrible dis
play OF crime warned against deadly sin.
The preacher said that the young man
who sowed his wild oats, the silly girl go
ing the path of disgrace. the get-rich-quick
plunger. the gambler and the bank wrecker
all might read the daily newspapers and
take heed before II was too late. He re-
ferred TO Robin. who wrecked the Northern
Bank and the Carnegie Trust Company, as
being able to fool the alienists. but not be-
ing able 10 get away from his inside fear.
He asked why men, II they will not believe
the preachers. will not believe the news
papers. which give only real occurrences.
DR.. Reisner said II was normal and right
10 seek fun. and that the man who did not
want II was usually TO be watched. as he
was either degenerate or had ulterior
motives.
In closing his sermon DR.. Reisner men,
toned various subterfuges of people who
lured people to destruction under the guise
OF having fun"
