Chicago, May 24-Neither Taft nor
Roosevelt will have $40 instructed or
pledged delegates, the required number
to nominate, in the republican national
convention according to opinions ex-
pressed during a discussion of the
probable line up by members Of the
national committee here today The
members agreed that the control of the
convention would be in the hands Of
the uninstructed delegates but would
vouchsafe no guess as to what their
action might be in the matter of Sc

A supporter of Taft on the commit

won all the delegates yet to be chosen
he still would be short of the neces-

forces in the convention will be on the
adoption of the report of the commit

on the Diamond shoals of Cape Hat
teras during the night is not yet
known. The vessel was discovered
eight miles off shore flying signals of

saving station. AS darkness fell the
men on the schooner were seen climb
ing into the schooner's rigging. There
was no sign of the vessel at day

VIII SON COMMENTS ON
ACT OF CHURCH BODY
Secretary Of Agriculture Quotes Scrip.
ture-Says Politics Are Back
of Church Action.

Washington, May 24.-Quoting the
scriptures. James S. Wilson, secre'
tary of agriculture, commented on the
action yesterday of the Presbyterian
general assembly in striking his name
from the list of delegates to the Pan
Presbyterian council to be held in
Aberdeen. Scotland. because he ac-
cepted last summer vice presidency
of the brewers congress at Chicago.
"And when the sons Of men came
together before the Lord Satan came
also" he said. This passage seems
to apply to this case, for have
learned from very dependable sources
on the outside that there has been a
whole lot of politics behind the attack
on me from certain quarters because
/, as secretary Of agriculture. attended
the brewers congress. ...
The secretary expressed the opinion
that Job, the much afflicted, would
have made fine secretary Of agricul-
ture. Job, he said, knew a lot about
farming, mules and horses.

100000 men IN
LONDON STRIKE
NO DISORDER ACCOMPANIES
TRANSPORT WORKERS. WALK
OUT, HOWEVER. N. VI

London, May 24.-Although the
strike OF the transport workers has not
become general quietness resembling
that of Sunday prevails in the streets
Of London this morning owing to the
absence of the usual long lines of
trucks and drays. The order to lay
down tools affects upwards of 100000
men in central London alone but those
engaged on jobs will be permitted,
through an understanding with the ex-
ecutive committee of the Transport
Workers federation, to complete them
before joining their fellows. The full
effect OF the strike order will there
fore not be felt for several days.
Everything is quiet at the docks and
in the Immediately vicinity. Picketing
is being carried on by the men In a
peaceful manner and no disturbances
such as were associated with the
strike of last year have been reported.
No extra police have been placed on
duty, but the police headquarters at
Scotland yard in conjunction with the
war office are possessed of an elabOr-
ate scheme drawn up after the last
strike to insure the free passage Of
food supplies. This will be brought
into operation on the first sign of in
reference by the strikers with those
desirious of continuing to work.
The plan includes the protection OF
the markets, the routes between the
cocks and the markets, the railroad sta
tions, the cold storage works, the bak-
cries and the gas and electric light
works. .
All those engaged at Covent Garden
market who belong to the trades union
ceased work this morning and the sup
piles of flowers, fruits and vegetables
will soon be cut off. At Smithfield
meat market business is going on as
usual. The mems leaders are attend
ing the board of trade inquiry appoint
ed by Sydney Buxton, president of the
board, to inquire into the causes of the
strike of the lightermen.
Several steamers also have been
held up by the strike, among them the
Atlantic transport liner Minneapolis.
BY next week none will be able to
sail unless they leave without cargoes.
The strike leaders have agreed to
issue permits to the municipal author
tiles for the transports of coal and for
water, lighting and sanitary purposes
and to allow the hospitals to procure
food and ice. ~ & .,,..,-.
The Garments trade union this even
ing issued a general strike notice. The
order to quit work includes the rail
road carmen, which involves great
extension Of the movement. It is
thought the strike may spread to
other railroad men.

SEvEN0FE EIGHT
BISHOPS HAVE
BEEN ELECTED
F. D. Leete and r. j. Cooke
Were Elected Today;
F. J. Mcconnell Named
Last Night.

Minneapolis, May 24-Dr. F. D..
Leete of Detroit, Mich, was elected
bishop of the Methodist Episcopal
church on the twenty-third ballot to-
day, receiving 551 votes, 519 being
necessary to elect The twenty-second
ballot resulted in deadlock.
Francis j. Mcconnell, president Of
De Pauw university, Greencastle, Ind,
was the fifth bishop to be elected at
the present session of the general con-
ference of the Mthodist Episcopal
church. He was selected last night on
the twenty-first ballot by vote OF
$50, fifty-two more than necessary to
choice.
H. J. Cooke, New York, book editor
of the church, also was elected bishop
today on the twenty-fourth ballot. DR..
Cooke had 525 votes, four more than
necessary to elect
On the twenty-fifth ballot w. P.
Thirkield of Washington, D. c.. re-
ceived 482 votes and Mathew F.
Hughes 215. Necessary to elect 519.
With twenty-three ballots already
taken and but six bishops chosen OF
the eight to be elected by the Metho-
dist Episcopal church at the present
session of the general conference the
record of ninteen ballots at Baltimore
in 1908 has been broken. In addition.
it is probable that the conference will
have to elect one and probably two
missionary bishops.
Two more men are to be elected as
general superintendents and it is be-
lieved the fight will be close between
four men, R. J. Cooke of New York,
w. S. Crawford of Meadville, Pa, w:
H. Thirkield of Washington, D. c., and
Ben Young of Portland, Ore.
Already the delegates have begun to
discuss the election Of officers Of vart-
Gus boards Of the church. 1t is said
that instead Of having ono man at the
head Of the board Of foreign missions,
three with equal power will be placed
there, taking the position heretofore
occupied by DR.. Adna B. Leonard Of
New York. made secretary emeritus Of
the board at the present session.
Among the names mentioned for these
positions are J. B. Trimble Of Storm
Lake, Ia., and E. A. Schell Of Mount
Pleasant, la.
AS secretary of the board of home
missions it is probable that Robert
Forbes Of Philadelphia will be elected.

New Orleans, La, May 24.-Condi-
tions, sanitary and otherwise, Of Mis-
sissippi river food refugee camps at
Atherton, Milkens Bend, Vicksburg
and Natchez are excellent, according
to John M. Parker of this city, who
has returned from an eight weeks ex-
perience in the flooded district. Parker
is the owner of a large plantation in
undated by the Salem crevasse. He
lost several herds of thoroughbred
cattle.
Refugees Are Destitute.
"The refugees from the Salem
break" he said, ARE practically d.
vided into four camps, Atherton, Milk
EMS Bend, Vicksburg and Natchez, and
ninety-two per cent of the refugees are
negroes, absolutely destitute. The
sanitary conditions of these places are
as good as could be expected, and, gen.
orally speaking, the health Of the
refugees has been excellent. Each
camp has its corps of surgeons and
Red Cross nurses, who see to it that
with. Each camp is properly policed
members Of which have given excel
lent service. a... ..,.a.
Water Will Fall Rapidly. -
with the rapid fall of the Missis-
sippi river, these four camps can soon
be dispensed with. From present
indications the water will fall rapidly
and by the end Of May many refugees
inundated by the Panther Forest, Sa-
lem and Beulah breaks will be able
to return to their homes and resume
work. The planters will feed them.
but clothing and beding will be badly
needed. and soon, so that it can be
carried back to their homes when they
leave the camps None can be pur-
chased locally. ..a.. ...-.
"The water from the Torras, Atcha-
falya and Hymelia breaks Is receding
slowly, and it probably will be late N
June before farming operations can
be undertaken, and in the meanwhile
some one must feed and care for tn~
laborers, as they are now destitute
June Rise May Prolong Flood.
"The government, the Red Cross,
the Kings Daughters, other societies
and individuals have given assistance

assistance will be necessary dependc
upon the Mississippi river. The az

conditions many weeks"
Mr.. Parker praised the self-sacrifice
and individual heroism' of the plan

Hits Hatred Of Foreigners.
There is as much religion in not
calling Hebrew 'sheeny' and Italian
a 'dago' and negro 'dinge' as there Is
in chanting Psalm 10" declared the
Rev. Marinus James of Brookline,
Mass, in addressing the Northern
Baptist convention which Is in progress
here today.
Americans are too hasty in the
and their feeling of hatred toward the
foreigner is too great"
The Rev. Mr.. James who recently
made trip across the sea In the
steerage at the request of the Baptist
board of managers, made strong plea
for improved places Of worship and bet
ter instructors for the foreigners in
America.
The American Baptist Home Mis-.
sions society opened today's session OF
the convention and several matters
pertaining to the work of the organ
ization were discussed and plans for.
mulated for future work. Religion In
the rural districts was one of the ques-
tions to be disposed of by the society.
Christian Science, Buddhism, Nor
monism and various new cults. with
their leaders were fiayed by the Rev.
w. H. Geistfeitl of San Diego, Cal, IN
his address before the Baptist Home
missionary society meeting.
While only a low animal grade Of
humanity embrace Mormonism, he de-
clared, the speaker pointed out the
danger with the other beliefs was that
they we're attracting the highest
classes of people who thought it was
smart to take up some new cult.
"The man who yields his pulpit to an
exponent of the new cult aids In the
dethronment of Christ and his honor"
declared the speaker
Industrial Workers AssaiIed.
The industrial workers of the world
were assailed by the Rev. w. H. Geist-
welt of San Diego, Cal. and charged
with being atheists with desire to
overthrow the entire social order.
They are against the motto OF the
labor unions and advocate the abolish
ment of the wage system, he said.
1--WE have offered them work and
they won't take it. They say the world
owes them living and they refuse to
do work.

slaughts," he continued. The Rev.
Mr.. Gcistweit comes from the center
of the struggle against this band OF
discontentcd humanity which has
swept the coast from Vancouver to San
Diego and is now checked to certain
extent In the southern city.
He is wanted by the government of
the state to tell what he knows about
the outrages which have been commit
ted in the state by the band of discon'
tented men and women. Some of the
best speakers in the movement are
women, said the Californian.
