THE SOUTH WANTS
 ST0P-0VER TICKETS

New Orleans, May 4.-Following un- qualified charges of unjust discrimina- ton by the railroads against the south, in the matter of stop-over privileges, the board of directors of the New Orleans Progressive union issued a call today to southern commercial and civic bodies and railroad companies to participate in a conference to be held In New Or leans in August of this year, to be known as the Southern States Transportation conference.
 In the resolutions adopted the fact is noted that the wonderful development of the west is largely due to the almost unlimited stop-over privileges granted by transcontinental railroads and it was de- clared that these privileges were with held from the south without reason. If the south is placed on equality with the west and east in the matter of stop overs. the belief Is expressed that large per cent of the transcontinental travel which now passes through the northern gateways will be diverted to southern railway lines and will have a great ed- ucational effect in directing the attention in the nation to the undeveloped re- sources and possibilities of the south. 1. It was declared to be to the mutual in terest of southern California and the south that visitors to the Pacific oast expositions In 1915 should be induced to either go or return through the south.

WILLIAM ]. BRYAN
 DEFENDS BIBLE

Chicago, May Civilian J. Bryan, speaking at the tercentennial celebration of the King James translation of the Bible, tonight challenged materialists and those opposed to theory of divine inspira- tion of the Bible to show they were right by producing a book superior to that volume.
 Atheists and materialists declare that the Bible is merely the work of man, said MT. Bryan, and that it was written under the limitations that apply to hu- man wisdom. Taking this position. they necessarily must contend that, unless man has degenerated in ability and declined in wisdom, he now can produce a book equal to the Bible. Let them produce it.
 Atheists and materalists have assailed the Bible at every point; they have been as bold as the prophets of Baal in defying the living God and in heaping contempt upon the written word. Why not chai- lenge them to put their doctrines to the test? When Elijah was confronted by a group of scorners who mocked the Lord he invited them to match the power of their God against the power of his, and he was willing to concede superiority to the one who would answer with fire.
 Now, why not a Bible test,
 But to the doubts and T don't knows of the agnostic, the Christian Bible in hand, answers, T believe.'"

A Financial Freeze Out"

NOW said MT. Speyer, If such su- pervision and control of the bankers al- ready exists in time of peace, it does not seem wide flight of imagination to sug- gest that the great powers might agree to exercise such control in times of war between third parties to maintain in the future, what, for want of a better term, might be called financial neutrality. . In case two nations went to war without first submitting their grievances or diff ferences to arbitration or judicial settle ment at The Hague why should the other ment at The Hague, why should not the other neutral powers biad themselves not to assist .ithe~ rss the beiggerents fl, nancially, but see to 1t that real neutral fly was observed by their banks and bankers? There is little doubt that this could be done. If no official assistance could be obtained from the outside, few nations would. in the fact of this most effective neutrality of the other powers, incur the peril of bankruptcy"
 criticism of this government for not having prevented the activities of Amer ican sympathizers with the Mexican in- surrectionists along the border, made by Congressman James F. Slayden, in the course or an address, drew reply from Assistant Secretary of State Wilson, who said that in all revolutions in the Latin American states, Americans had been &C., tive in spite of the efforts of the federal government to prevent such activities and that the record of the United States in proceeding against previous ilibustei ing shoud have convinced the people of Mexico of the honesty of this country S attitude toward 1t.
 Giving expression to an opinion at va riance with that held by many peace advocates, pr. Lyman Abbott of New York, who presided at tonights session of the congress. declared his belief that war was sometimes justifiable.
 "When bands of marauding dynamiters blow up OUT buildings, our offices, our homes can we appeal to their reason ?' Dr. Abbott asked. NO; because they haven't got it. If one mar of war had gone up the river to Turkey when the Armenans were being murdered 1t would have been better than any appeal to req son. The massacres would have stopped
 What Is desired is not only peace but peace founded upon righteousness, with law and order as it's companions"

Q ltimore. May 4.-"Financial neutral ity'' as preventive of war between ma tions was the interesting suggestion of fered at the third national peace congress here today by James Speyer of the New York and European banking house of speyer & Co. MT Speyer spoke as a dele gate from the chamber of commerce of the state of New York. He followed As sistant Secretary of State Huntington Wilson, presiding officer of the forenoon session. who gave his interpretation of what has been called "dollar diplomacy" " the newly coined phrase applied to the expansion of the United States. The term according to MT. Wilson. means Tthe sub stitution of dollars for bullets; the crea- ton of prosperity which will be pre- ferred to predatory strife and practical mode of pursuing the ideal of world reaee." -r E MT. Speyer, who spoke on international Finance as Power For Peace," dealt first with the influence of international in- vestments in times of peace. Taking up the question of what should and could be done in time of war by f1rst-class powers, he said, we find today in Europe that in times of peace certain governments will not allow their bankers to take and place foreign loans In the home market unless the purposes for which the loan is to be used are known and approved, and at least part of the proceeds are used by the borrowing nation for expenditures in such markets for the benefit of the lending nation"

And Now a Ban Has
Been Placed Upon the
Good, Old Green Tea
Attorney General Wickersham Rules
that Here's a Drink that Comes
Under Pure Food Law.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.--(special Telegram)
Good old-fashioned green tea" IL It is
artificially colored. is 70 be excluded from
the United states hereafter and viii be-
come a thing Of the past. This will follow
a decision just reached by the board Of
seven tea experts appointed by the United
States government. which has just con-
cluded a long session in this city.
The result has come about through q de-
cision Of Attorney General wiokersham on
a question Of law referred to him by the
trade He decided that the pure fsod law
requires that all teas must be plainly
labeled "artificialiy colored." For some
time It was a question in the enforcement
Of the law whether these. imported teas
came under the operations Of the pure food
act. This was the point referred to the
attorney general and he decided that they
did.
Hereafter all such eolored teas must be
branded This decision put It up to the
tea trade to determine whether 1t should
continue to sell the teas under this brand,
or whether II should stop dealing in the
colored teas altogether. The question was
referred TO board Of tea experts. con-
sisting Of seven men prominently con-
nected with the tea importing trade, two
Of whom are from New York. two from
Chicago and one from Boston, Philadelphia
and San Francisco. The chairman OF this
board is George Hewlett. A division at
once arose in the trade Three members
were in favor of continuing the importa-
ton Of the colored teas, to which many
people are accustomed, and attaching the
labels "artlficially colored" as required.
The rest of the board we're in favor OF ex-
Guiding the artificially colored teas alto
gether. The advocates Of exclusion argued
that the selling Of artificially colored tea
is actually a fraud on the public. The
dyes are in themselves deleterious. though Il
Is unlikely that an average tea drinker
takes enough OF them in his two or three
cups a day to do him any harm. A
heavy tea drinker certainly would get
harm from them in the long run.
The sale OF artificiaIly coloTed teas in
the past has simply been a concession TO
the ignorance Of the public, which imasines
1t is getting fresh and superior tea, sim
ply because It is bright green in color.
