SAYS BOOK OF ISAIAH
Is WORK OF TWO MEN

The Rev. ~ T. Hafer, pastor OF the
Ferry-ave Baptist church, read Il pa
per on THE servant of the Lord in
Isaiah before the Baptist Ministers
conference in the Woodward-ave. Bap-
list church, Monday morning. he
took the stand that the book OF Isaiah
was not the entire work OF the
prophet: that while he could be cred
tied with writing the first thirty-nin.
chapters. he had never seen the bal
ance of the book, - chapters. Tho
point stirred up good deal of argu-
ment in the discussion which follow
ed the reading OF the paper.
The president of the conference, the
Rev. T. w. Young, of the North Wood.
ward Baptist church, supported the
theory of Mr.. Hafer. granting that it
was possible that God had inspired
other persons than Isaiah TO write the
book. Others took the same view;
but not few, including the Rev. J..
G. Calder. took up the cudgels in be.
half OF Isaiah, arguing that there was
nothing in the book TO Indicate that
he didn't produce the whole volume.
In the course OF his paper, Mr.,
Hafer said that the writer or the last
% chapters had for his main purpose
the giving OF a religious interpretG-
ton of Israel's past, OF the events
then taking place among the nations
and to raise the spirits of the faithful
in captivity by glowing picture of
the future that would flow from the
faithfulness OF God to an unchangiIg
purpose, with the proclamation of a
new view OF the relation OF the suffer
ings of the righteous TO the accom-
plishment OF this purpose. He also
stated that he studied prophecy from
the historic standpoint. endeavorirS
TO learn, first, the message OF the
prophet for his own time, then in the
light OF later history and fuller revela.
ton the deeper message which the
God OF history and prophecy enshrin.

MAY FORCE UNCLE SAM TO
INTERFERE IN MEXICO

WASHINGTON, March 25.-It was
admitted by war department officials
this afternoon that a decisive victory
for the Mexican rebels, who are now
marching south from Chihuahua nm
der Orozco. would precipiate a new
and real crisis between the United
States and Mexico. The situation in
Mexico, IT is said, is constantly grow
ing worse, and renewed complications
are feared from Orozco's attempt TO
force a loan of s1,200,000 from Chlhua-
hua business men and financiers
Some of this money has been demand
ed from Americans, 1t is said, and II
an attempt Is made to make them pay,
complications must result.

Weber * Co. March 20: A vigorous
demand was in evidence in the market
all through the first hour and although
there was profit taking AT times gem
eral comment was made by brokers

which did not mat supply until
after an advance OF pne point had been
egta blished. London was AN impor-
tant factor in the trading in this in
dustrial, taking about 10000 shortly
after the opening. Arbitrate brokers
were bidders for other stocks without
being able TO fiji the foreign demand
because of the manner In which prices
here were established well above the
London level.

HOUSTON MARKET REVIEW

Houston, Texas, Oct. S.-The Hous-
ton produce market is glutted with
turkeys, but all fresh eggs possible
are wanted. Warnings have been sent
out by the dealers against the ship
ment of turkeys until the present sup
ply in sight, Is exhausted. The mar
ket is glutted and prices are far below
profit to the shipper. In the fresh
egg department eggs are going to the
trade at rs cents per dozen and are
being taken up as rapidly as offered.
Young chickens are numerous and the
price is being cut. The market, how
ever is not overstocked in ducks and
geese.
Prevailing vegetables are coming
from Colorado and the receipts are
liberal. There is a strong demand for
grapes and fancy fruits. California
tomatoes, celery and lettuce are COM
ing in in liberal supply.
The news from the trade through
out the Houston district continues
very optimistic, with great activity
displayed in all lines that are in sea-
son. No failures are reported by the
commercial agencies and business
throughout this territory appears to
be on a splendid footing. There have
been no startling developments during
the week, but the expected increase
in business for the time of year ma
terialized.
The cotton movement continues
very heavy and arrivals at Houston
are far ahead of last year at this
time. Daily receipts in Houston aver
age $4,000 bales. Various estimates
are appearing concerning the Texas
crop. They vary from 100000 to
4,25O,OOO and 100000 bales. The en-.
