WILL NOT FIGHT
ROMANISM In U. S.
Presbyterian Assembly Rejects Rec
concentrations Denouncing
Catholicism.

Bristol. Tenn. May zs-rhe General
Assembly Of the Presbyterian Church in
the United States to-day refused TO
adopt the recommendation contained IN
the majority report OF the committee on
Bomanism for the inauguration OF a cam
psign In the United States and Canada
among the Evangelist churches and
against the Roman Catholic Church. and
for the Appropriation OF a fund to estab-
lish foundation for the support OF
converts so made.
The assembly heard minority report
on the subject from Judge Allen G. Han,
Of Nashville, opposing any such pro-
gramme on the ground that II would re-
suit IN political entansiements and divert
the church from its mission Of preaching
the Gospel. The minority report was
embodied in a resolution by DR.. r. G.
Reed Of ColuTnbia. s. c.. stating that
the church's policy on the subject is
against such a campaign, but providing
for the circulation OF anti-Catholic htera-
ture.
The closing hours Of the assembly are
being occupied in a fight 20 reconsider
the resolution which Invested the COM
mittee on systematic benehcence Of its
power This committee. shorn Of its
power TO nominate secretaries Of the va
ri0us executive committees and members
thereof. to-day precipitated the debate

The Coal Barons.

Twenty-Five cents additional, now un-
officially named as the increase likely to
be made in the price of coal, will take
about. $I6oooooo year more out of
the pockets of the consumers of domes-
tic sizes of anthracite. The increase per
ton is not great and for that reason,
perhaps, it is hoped by those who are
suggesting it that it will be accepted
by the public without complaint Yet
in the aggregate it will be a heavy bur
den upon consumers already facing the
problem of high cost of living. In ad-
dition there is no discount this spring
in the price of coal, and instead of re-
ceiving a bonus of so cents a ton, the
people are expected to pay IS cents
extra.
The increase in wages resulting from
the recent strike, according to statistics,
will be only about 100000. Granting
the companies other costs Of production
which they allege, the 2s-cents-a-ton
rise will take out more than enough to
cover all additional costs
VIII the public stand it?

which exist outside Of the boundaries
Of our own country. and which cannot
be changed by any laws which Congress
may enact
But Mr.. Lawson loves to be spec

an attractive phrase It sounds awful
good to the man who is struggling along
on a small salary TO know that a
doughty warrior has appeared who viii

thrill Mr.. Lawson with hope Of vic

The talk turned to the proposition Of
the happiest moments in ones lie
Senator Bailey said his came the day
he wore his first pair Of pants. And
Paul HowIand, Of Ohio, declared that
his big moment OF JOY was when he
was permitted once TO drive a chariot
in a pony and dog show parade.
Representative Redfield. who IS a wise
chap, even ~ he does hail from Brook
lyn. said that he recalled with micro
scopIc distinctness the moment that gave
him the biggest thrill Of delight in his
whole life. II was when he was going
to school and trying to master long
division. Three or four aisles over from
where he sat. a boy yawned. II was not
an ordinary yawn, but one OF such genu-
inc expression or feeling toward things In
general that II attracted hedneIds at
tention He was fortunate in having
a paper wad right at hand. ready for
any emergency. and he aimed this at
the boys cavsrnous mouth By one OF
those rare exhibitions or magnanimity on
the part OF an lnanimate object, the wad
went right square into the goal, and
RedfieId's Joy knew no bounds He had
played the one chance in a million and
won.
ENCOURAGED by his dexterity In that
instance. RedheId then tried throwing
rings at knives at county fairs, but
never again did he even exhibit such
wondrous aim. He says the only JOY
he has ever known that even compared
with that afforded by the paper wad
incident was once on shipboard when
the vessel gave a lurch, and threw a
platter full OF beefsteak, gravy and ALL
over the open-faced shirt front Of a
pompous passenger across the table.
On that occasion Redfield Is said to
have laughed very heartily.
Oh, they get into Congress by all sorts
Of means "Zeke" Gambler. OF the First
Mississippi District, was on his way to
a meeting when his buggy got in over its
depth in a river and he got soaking wet
clear up to his hat. He was wearing
one Of those thin crash twO-piece suits.
that clothing merchants are wont to
label "A bargain at Sl475." BY the time
he reached the meeting his garments had
shrunken until they Mt him like the
clothes on a rural comedian in the Sis

scorn."
"oh. I guess I'd better get up and say
something" Gambler insisted. Now that
I've ruined my fine suit, / must make
political capital out OF my accident in
order to get even"
When he arose to make his speech,
looking like a big boy who had put on
his young brothers clothes 10 get into
the circus cheaper, the audience had a
long. hearty laugh. But they subsidized
long enough to hear Gambler say:

The Titanic Report.

Senator William Alden Smith, in his
report regarding the inquiry into the
fatal disaster Of the great White Star
liner. which cost 1000 lives, shows
conclusively at the hand of direct and
ihdisputable evidence that the Titanic's
speed just before she struck the ice
berg was z4I-7 miles an hour, and
that this speed had been steadily in
creased after receiving ice warnings by
wireless. Also that the presence on
board of Ismay, the managing director
of the line, as well as Andrews, the
constructor for Harlan & Wolff, the
shipbuilders, was an incentive to make
a maiden-trip speed record.
The report says that the crew was a
mere pick up" not acquainted with
what was required on vessel of such
size and dimensions, which resulted III
confusion and worse when the accident
occurred. That Ismsy was advised of
the grave danger at once, enabling him to
get away safely, while other passengers
were left in ignorance; also, that, the
weather being clear, if the lookout
men had been provided with glasses,
the catastrophe might have been pre-
vented, despite the great speed,
Blame is placed upon the captain for
disregarding his duty and responsibility
for the safety of the lives intrusted to
his care He, as well as Andrews. is
removed from any human penalty. But
Ismay, according to the Senator's conf
mittee, must have been cold and callous
to have done and allowed to be done all
he did, and then being one of the first
ones to save his hide.
This country can do no more than
to present the findings of the Senate
committee to the British Parliament or
the British Foreign Office. VIII it do
any good? VIII the transatlantic COM
panies, in their desire for more profit,
stop building such leviathsns? Will there
be any laws passed for the safety of
ocean travel? If so, why not make it
obligatory upon the liners to leave their
ports in pairs, one acting as convoy
to the other, to be ready to stand by in
case one or the other is overtaken by
disaster? VIII sufficient lifeboats be
made compulsory besides? Will the
crews be drilled, and above all. will
there be a sufficiently heavy penalty
prescribed for a disregard of duty on
the part of a captain and his officers,
in whose care the lives of thousands
are placed each week?

whether 1 ever will be or not. But you
can see how anxious I am to serve as
your Representative when I am willing
to stand up before you in my present
plight I fell in the river on my way
here. and everybody advised me 10 stay
away. but I'm not a man to stop for
obstacles. and I aim to do what 1 start
out to do. II get to Congress, I shall
continue 10 act on that pian."
All that made a big hit with the as
semblage. and the incident turned the
tide in Gamblers favor. He got about
four-hfths Of all the votes cast.
As a matter OF fact, II wasn't the first
time Gambler had captured a prize that
he earnestly desired in spite Of OBJ
stacles So miId-mannered a person is
he. that few would suspect him Of being
the kind that would go forth and steal
a beautiful young woman in the night
time, and from q comparative stranger.
When Gambler had reached the age OF
twenty years he went to a little town
some seventy miles from his home to
try a lawsuit, While there he met a
highly attractive young woman who
pleased his sight right from the start.
II didn't take him long to reason out
quite logically that the mole he was
thrown in her society the oftener he
would see her. In a little while he
wrote a letter TO her father suggesting
that he was a pleasant young man al
most certain TO make his mark in the
world, and that he regarded himself as
a person that the father of an attractive
young belle would be wise 10 have for
a son-in-law in the proximate future.
The young wornan's father wrote back
that IL Gambler ever set foot-that was
the way he put it, Of course, set foot
on his place again, he would show him
a few things that would be distinctly
advantageous 10 his physical welfare
and corporeaI well being
That being the case, he arranged with
the present Mrs. Gambler to steal her,
by the light Of the MOON" as he puts il.
Within a month Mrs. Gamblers father
was openly boasting that young '.Zeke"
Gambler was his son-in-law, and he
wouldn't trade a horse or so much as a
secondhand set Of buggy harness with
