TO TRY TO TAKE NEW
YORK CITY FOR DISCIPLES

u
YORK CITY FOR DISCIPLES
Disciples OF Christ, strong in the
middle west and one OF the six or
eight largest religious bodies in Ameri-
ca, are considering plans for larger
Christian work in New York City. Ear
ly IN September a conference on the
subject is to be held, that will be at
tended by men who have studied the
New York situation for soma years,
officers OF Disciples missionary or
ganizations. and some Of the New York
Christian pastors and lay officials
Reasons why Disciples are especial
ly anxious TO get into New York City
in stronger fashion are two: One IS
because New York is national, and
from it radiate national influences. The
other IS because. as is generally ad-
mitted, New York has need for more
religion
Disciples number in the whole coun-
try nearly 1900. 900. In New York City
they have seven small churches four
Of them in Brooklyn Their total New
York City embership is considerably
under 1000

NEW SUMNER CONFERENCES
THIS SEASON NUMBER FORTY

Reports from summer conferences.
Bible. Missionary, Catholic and Prot
estant are to the effect that attend
ance has just about equalled last year,
with growths in a few directions. but
that people who have attended have
had rather more money to give than on
some years recently. and have been much
more willing to pledge personal work
than formerly. This latter readiness
is, however, almost wholly on the part
of women, there being little change re-
ported from the men.
A very great number of new and
small summer conferences have sprung
up. These have been arranged in be-
|. half Of missions, social service. and
Sunday school work. but some OF the
new ones have been started to foster
and further the interests OF organfza-
tons Clergy, laymen, women, even
young girls, have attempted small
summer meetings, usually with success.
Lake properties west and east are ad-
vancing in value because of the new
deman Fully 40 new centers are the
record for the year 1911.

Knocks Out Ghetto Boy, Mauries

Racine. Wis.,. April s.--Packey Nc
Farland had things all his own way
last night In his battle with Maurice
Bloom, tho Chicago Ghetto boy. who
has been coming to the front recently.
and the battle ended IN the eighth
round, whom Bloom was knocked out
after having been pushed against tho
ropes or down in nearly every round.
The first three rounds were unevei1t-
full until the middle Of the third, when
a straight right to the stomach by
Bloom shook Mcfarland into action
and he rushed his man to the rope with
hard rights and let's to the face. In
the fourth Bloom became groggy un-
der rights to the face and in the NTH
only the gong saved him from a knock
out.
In the sixth Mcfarland had Bloom
on his knees for an instant. but Bloom
was gamely taking punishment and
jumped up, but was pushed to the ropes
again. In the seventh Bloom took more
punishment and again was piled upon
the ropes when the bell sounded and
the end came in the eighth when left

CONTRACTOR GOES BROKE.
George w. jackson, Ct Chicago, s5,ooo,.
COO To the Bad


Chicago, April S.-Creaitors Of George
W. Jackson, Inc, have swooped down
upon that concern, the largest OF its
kind in the west, and will attempt this
week to take control of it.
Unsecured liabilities floating debt
of about 100000. big engineering
projects half completed and in danger
OF collapse, shattered credit at the
banks, failure to float a recent ST.
900 900 issue Of stock. and inability to
pay either for material or for labor now
being used, brought the affairs of the
famous contracting corporation to a
crisis.
1t is said the total liabilities OF the
corporation will reach 100000. One
Of the officers Of the company said
this amount is offset by assets roughly
estimated at s5,500,Oo0. A banker who
Is connected with one Of the creditor
banks said, however, that when the
whole matter is sifted down the real
assets will total about 30 per cent Of
the debts of the concern.
No court action looking to receiver
ship has been taken as yet, and credi-
tors stoutly maintained that no sucn
action would be taken, protesting to
believe that reorganization could be ac-
complished without court intervention.
An audit Of the books was made
which showed sucl, conditions that Mr..
Jackson agreed to the appointment OF
a creditors committee to take over the
business. This committee issued a let
ter yesterday stating the situation to
all the creditors. and acceptances OF
the proposition made poured in rapidly
1t has been planned, however, to make
nothing public until all the creditors
we're in the fold and the action of Mr..
Jackson had been approved formally by
meeting of the stockholders.

Traffic Problem Easy.

The Paris subway system carries
more persons in the course Of the year
than that of New York. In the length
of the two systems there Is not a great
deal Of difference, but the New York
system covers fourteen-mile stretch
Of territory laid out in straight line,
to all intents and purposes, whereas
the Paris system comprises a network
in the center of the city. The prob
lem Of transportation In Paris Is not
nearly so complex as in New York
and the congestion experienced in New
York is unknown in the French met
ropolis. where the morning or evening
rush Is In all directions, while in New
York the people all desire to 90 in the
same direction at the same time. The
travel in Paris Is quite conveniently
distributed throughout the whole day.

will take his chances on droughts cur
failing the supply and causing him to
go further out into the country for his

Different views were expressed by
merchants a. to the real cause Of the
slump in prices. One expressed the be-
lief that the pending reciprocity treaty
with Canada had caused the farm ers
to drop their prices. The more general
cause attributed to the decline. how
ever. was that tho markets were glutted
with provisions Of all kinds, as the
high prices Of the last two years caused
increased production and reduced con-
sumption.
Revolt by Consumers.
Prices Of last year were said to be
largely speculative and farmers took to
raising hogs and cattle in increased
numbers The consumer, on the other
hand. revolted against the exorbitant
prices and found other food substitutes
for meat, with the result that the sup
ply Increased and the demand de-
creased.
In April, 1910, the average price paid
for hogs at the stockyards was $3.50.
while this year It is around $3.50. and
the decline in steers and sheep is al
most as great.

not, dealers said there was no prospect
Of a reduction in price until July, when
a new crop will be on the market The

a pound wholesale year ago now costs
20 cents, but merchants say the decline
In bacon and eggs more than offsets
the increased cost Of the breakfast
beverage.
