LONDON, Sept. 30.-Vehement dis

GIRLS MUST KEEP
TAB ON HABITS

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, September 80
Miss Mary Goes, dean of Radcliffe
College, told all the freshman girls on
the opening day of college that they
need a sense of the ludicrous. Yes
terday the freshies were provided
with cards upon which they must re-
port what they eat for breakfast, din
ner and supper, what time they go
to bed and what kind of health they
enjoy or suffer each day,
The girls didn't know whether it
was a sophomore trick or whether
their sense of the ludicrous" was be-
ing given it's first simple exercise.
They asked Miss Goes about it. She
said the cards were distributed with
serious intent.
These cards are brand-new scheme
at Radcliffe, They are part of the
physical education, now considered so
important in training the future wives
and mothers of America. The re-
ports are to be filed, tabulated and
made the basis of statistics on the
health and habit of the college girl.

Mysterious Disappearance.

HILO, Oct. 13-The fact that there
have recently been several cases Of
mysterious disappearance in Homo
lulu has called attention to such a
case which occurred here in Hilo sew
eral months ago, and which still re-
mains a mystery. In the case in
question Oscar Bushner, a white man,
disappeared during the middle of last
June as completely as if the earth
had swallowed him.
Bushner was engaged in San Fran.
cisco by John NJ. Withers, the fore
man of the Volcano Stables carriage
shop, to work at the shop as a wood
worker. At the same time a black
smith named Wilson was engaged.
Both men left San Francisco in the
Enterprise about June for Hilo.
Wilson has since left the employ Of
the Volcano Stables and is working
somewhere on the Hilo railroad ex-
tension.
On the Monday following his arri.
val in HilO, Bushner went to work in
the carriage shop. He worked there
during four days. Then the shons
saw him no more. The following
Friday he failed to turn up to work.
He made no demand for the money
which he had earned, nor did he even
take his tools away.
Withers explains that while the
Volcano Stables paid Bushner SS5 for
his passage money, with the under
standing that if he worked for the
corporation for year this money
would be considered a present, there
was no contract or other means of
enforcing any obligation on Bushner.
He could have declined to go to work
absolutely, and the stables would
have had no redress.
The fact that Bushner had left his

in what appeared to be his best suit

and his belongings, including an ac-

The police were notified of the

steps were taken to learn what had

An Auto Accident.

TWENTY-FIVE CENT
THEATER SEATS

Over against the declaration of one
New York theatrical manager that
the prices of best seats on Broadway
will soon be elevated to three dollars
is the announcement of another that
he proposes to reduce the prices of
gallery seats to twenty-five cents. He
has tried the venture in some city of
the west, and found it surprisingly
successful. The gallery was filled as
not before, and what, from some
points of view, was equally to the
purpose, it was more enthusiastic. In
general, the gallery, if the play has
anything at all to it, is more demon
strative than the balcony, and infin-
itely more demonstrative than the
orchestra, in which it is not good
form to be otherwise than gently
demonstrative. But the actors are
heartened by applause in liberal
| doses, and thus the gallery with its
vigorous hand-clapping makes the
play the better for the OCCUPANTS of
balcony and orchestra. To be sure,
there are plays which are not worth
twenty-five cents a seat in any part
of the house; but the gallery is acute
enough to spot them and severely to
withhold its appreciation. Exchange

CAT PLAYS GOOD
YANKEE TRICK

HARTFORD, Conn, Sept 30
Fudge, a tramp cat that has been liv-
ing comfortably at the Willimanuc
State Normal School for several
weeks, showed his appreciation of En-
gineer Melpin yesterday afternoon and
incidentally saved the state consider
able money.
The wandering cat watched efforts
tC snake a telephone wire through a
conduit and later saw a ferret get tan
gled up in a string which had been
tied to it. Then marching up, it
seemed to invite the task
Melvin tied the Irvine to Fudge's
neck, and after watching the cat dis
appear he ran around the building in
time to see Fudge triumphantly
emerge from the conduit with the
string carried safely through.
In order to avoid overhead wiring it
was imperative to get telephone wires
through the conduit, which had be-
come clogged, and it would have been
necessary to tear down one Of the
buildings if the tramp cat had not
done the trick,

HERESY HUNT IN THE METHODIST
CHURCH OF The MIDDLE WEST

JOLIET, ILL.,, Sept 3O.-The Rev.
DR.. Charles NJ. Stuart, editor of the
Northwestern Christian Advocate, Of
fetal organ of Methodism in Chicago
and the Middle West, and president
elect of Garrett Biblical Institute, who
was elected as a ministerial delegate
to the general conference of the Meth
odist Episcopal church, will be tried
for heresy by the Rock River confer
ence for his teachings and writings if
charges made by the Rev. DR.. William
Henry Burns are taken up by the con-
ference. The subject was deferred to.
day until a special session at p. m.
For more than two years DR.. Burns
has been charging that both in the
classroom and in the editorial col
umns of the Northwestern DR.. Stuart
has been uttering thoughts which are
rapidly undermining the belief af
Methodists to such an extent that
there is a real crisis.
Burns Circulates Pamphlet.
DR.. Burns, in a pamphlet of attack
on Dr. Stuart, which was distributed
among the ministers, says:
when the Methodist Episcopal
church allows its ministers to teach
that the future life is a probationary
state, exactly as is the present state,
its well constructed system of govern
ment will not prevent its rapid decay.
This doctrine is not MethOdism, but
Universalism, pure and simple. He
not only attacks the canon of Scrip
ture, but says: No intelligent or NOR
ally earnest person accepts the Bible
as a whole. He puts no emphasis on
Christ's death, but on the ethical ele-
ment in his life and work.
"Dr, Stuart does not prove that the
Garrett Biblical Institute is evangeli-
cal because some of its graduates
show evangelistic efficiency and mis-
enthusiasm. Some Christian
students are spiritual immunes-able
to resist all the evils of modernism.
Quotes Berry's Warning,
"But if our educational institutions,
under the inspiration of higher criti-
cism and the new teaching, are such
wonderful promoters of eyangelistic

cellor's argument by squeezing an

French, on their part, secured a long

Judging by the press utterances,
the only important power that ought
to sit still while the rest of the world
moves is Italy According to them we
ought to look forward complacently
not only to a continuance of sys-
tematic hostility in Tripoli, but to the
growth of the Turkish military and
naval position there until it forever
excluded Italy from the province"
Regarded as Patriotic in Italy.
ROME, Italy, Sept. 3O.-Anxiety to
win the worlds favorable opinion in
connection with the war over Tripoli
is mingled here with fine contempt
for foreign impressions and views.
The conflict with Turkey springs out
of the very heart of the Italian ma.
ton, and no war in its history has
been a more purely patriotic war.
The government was not led but was
driven into drastic action.
The course of European events in
recent years has deeply wounded
Italian sensibilities. Italy has been
treated as a sort of political vermi-
form appendix to the other parts of
the European social organism. As q

feel it necessary to write this: The
facts are startling and humiliating.
Last year there was a positive de-
cline. We are not keeping pace with
the growth of the united Protestant
church of the country. The religious
statistics furnished by the Department
of Commerce and Labor show that the
Presbyterian, Lutherans, Baptists
and disciples far exceeded the Meth
odists in ratio of growth. The Bap.
lists exceed us during the year by
nearly 100000. AS modernism wakes
in Methodism, Methodism wanes. AS
she grows broad in her theology she
shrinks in membership. Methodism
outgrows the Bible when it teaches it's
teachers to criticise the Bible rather
than have it criticise them"
Some of the specific charges of DR..
Burns are:
q, Destroying the primitive Scrip
tural foundation of morals by throw
ing doubt upon the decalogue as n
moral code.
20. Ruling out Sunday observance
as a moral obligation
"3, Suggesting that an ecclesiasti-
cal body and legislator may deviate
from the Scriptural standard regard
ing marriage and divorce to suit spe-
cial conditions"
Considers Conditions Alarming.
Dr. Burns adds The conditions
are absolutely alarming. Young men
from our theological schools are
preaching the myths of miracles, lie.
nying the immaculate conception and
the physical resurrection of Jesus
preaching such antiquated ideas as
personal devil and the Genesis ac-
count Of the creation. All who main
tain the old doctrines are ridiculed as
'od fogy' and moss grown. Thus many
men are carried away or kept silent"

of DR.. Stuart, on the floor of the con.
ference this morning attacked Or.

attack DR.. Stuart, l think DR., Burns

WASHINGTON, d. O., Sept. 90
"Vox La Toilette, yox Del" The voice
of La Toilette is the voice of God, ac-
cording to the slogan of the progress
sive Republican press bureau in Wash
ington, and that voice is to be heard
by a gathering of the faithful in Chi
cago October 16 At that time and
place La Toilette is to tell the as.
sembled multitude that Taft must not
be renominated, and the assemblage,
picked and packed, is to re-echo the
sentiment, so that the country may
know that "vox Del" through "vox
La Toilette" has been heard. Coming
in this way, it is assumed, by the
press agent, that the word will be
needed.
There are to be other and smaller
voices at the Chicago assembly, &C.
cording to advance notices, but those
voices will only repeat what comes
from the one great voice-the one big
noise, as he is facetiously described
by the nfaithful-namely that Taft
must not be renominated.
The lesser voices will be those of
Clifford Pinchot, if he gets back from
Alaska in time, James r. Garfield of
Ohio, Louis Brandeis of Boston, Char
les R. Crane of Chicago and Rudolph
Spreckles of San Francisco. Other
smaller voices may be heard on the
second echo, if the big voices do not
consume all the time. But these stel-
lar voices are enough, at least for the
advance notice.
The faithful are to gather at Chi
cagO, at the direction of Senator La
Toilette, to make an anti-Taft demon
stration. Anti-Taft men from every
state have been summoned, for it is
the purpose of the Wisconsin Senator
to show that popular sentiment
throughout the country is not favor
able to the denomination of President
Taft, and if he can get delegates from
every state, he will make the claim

some other leader next year. OF
course he can find anti-Taft delegates
in every state; it is always possible
to find anti-administration men in ey-
cry state and in every community.

assembled, it will listen to addresses.
or rather impassioned speeches, for
La Toilette, Pinchot, Garfield, Bran
deis, ct al are strong on the impas
stoned, loud of voice, and theatrical
of manner, and it may be set down as
a dead certainty that the anti-Taft
delegates will hear the President rip
ped to pieces to their hearts content,
and done in mastery fashion. There
are no more efficient "rippers" in this
country than have been enlisted to
address this suspicious assemblage,
this Representative" body of Republi-
can voters. They are all representa-

tives-of the La Toilette wing-and
that is why they will attend.
Following the speeches there will be
resolutions, and those resolutions will
be carried to Chicago by La Toilette
and his leaders. OF course they will
reflect the sentiment of the gather
ing, for that gathering is to be made
up of men whose sentiments are
known before they attend. They will
be adopted as they are approved by
La Toilette, for is not "vox La Fol-
lette, vox Del" and can there be any
thing wrong with what La Toilette
says? Certainly not.
1t will all be very beautiful and all
very harmonious. Depend on that, for
La Follette's press bureau has I'M
limited money behind it; it is already
spending lavishly, just to show that
its treasury is not impoverished, and
for this occasion, the bureau, by La
Follette's direction, has employed
some of the most efficient schemers
whose services are for hire They
have done a good job, and that Chi
cago convention is going to run like
clockwork, to be interrupted only by
Spontaneous" applause whenever
President Taft is lambasted, or when
La Toilette or some lesser insurgent
light is held up as the true friend of
the people. 1t is to be very impress
sive, for that is the object-to i'm
press the American people, that Pres
ident Taft must not be renominated.
The anti-Taft convention does not
care a whoop who is nominated, just
so long as it is not Taft-so they say.
Of course it matters not that La Fol
lette is behind the press bureau, di-
recting it's operations; it is not signif-
cant that the very rich men who are
financing this press bureau have all
sworn allegiance and declared for La
Toilette in 1912; no significance at |
taches to the fact that the delegates |
will all be La Toilette enthusiasts. !
Oh, no. The delegates who are rep |
resentative citizens" are not inter- |
ested in furthering the interests of any
they are working for
principle. And they are working that
the average citizen may voice his own
sentiments. They are against ma
chine politics. OF course.
But come to think it over, was ever
any holder display of machine meth
DDS ever made by Tammany Hall than
this latest move of the La Toilette
press bureau? Here is a convention
restricted to men who are avowed ad-
vocates of the nomination of La Fol
lette all of them men opposed to the
of President Taft; all |
selected in advance of the
yet called together to voice
the popular will"
1t is to be wondered that even La
Toilette thinks such a game as this
will fool the people.

ELIMINATE WOOD IN FIREPROOF
BUILDINGS, SAYS NEW YORK EXPERT

CHICAGO, Sept. 29-The proven,
ton of fires, rather than the question
of how best to put them out and a
proposal for the establishment by the
government of a department to insure
adequate protection against fire,
were the subjects of an address de-
livered this evening before the Inter-
national Municipal Congress by Ed
ward F. Croker, who for twelve years
was chief of the fire department of
New York city. Mr.. Croker said in
part:
THE enormous fire waste of the
United States varies from $2O0,000,000
to $400,000,O00 annually, and the vast
ly indirect losses that result, seriously
affect our economic and civic prog
ress. The loss of lives by fire is one
that cannot be realized save by those
unfortunates whose relatives and
friends have been lost in many deplor-
able calamities. To be poetical, it is
something more than a slaughter of
the innocents.'
U. S. Fire Loss Excessive.
THE per capita fire loss in the
United States has been from 50 to 81
against 80 cents in the principal Eu
ropean countries.
"If l had my way about it l would
not permit a piece of wood, even the
size of a lead pencil, to be used in the
construction or finish of any building
in the United States exceeding
ground area of twenty-five by fifty
feet or three stories in height. If there
