The crowd remained until late last night when the dancing was brought to a close as the Tennessee Coal. Iron and Railroad company steel plant bad played Home Sweet Home" The outing was per haps the most successful social effort ever undertaken by a corporation here for it's employees. Everyone that at. tended, from the executive officers down to the office boys. thoroughly en- joyed the day and are determined to make the affair an annual. one
 The day began early by the Tennes- see Coal. Iron and Railroad company steel plant band coming to the city and marching over the principal streets A special street car was used to trans port the band over the city. Their con cert efforts proved to be a hit down town and many laudatory remarks were heard The band is the same one which played so admirably at the recent coal operators outing.
 The day at Germania was spent ir first aid demonstrations. baseball game In the afternoon and a large lis of attractions and athletic contests.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Attack on Pastor Russell

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 T note there is strenuous opposition to the Scripture Studies as promulgated by Pastor c. T. Russell of Brooklyn, N. Y, and that this opposition has become as pronounced that the Pastors union on various occasions has given verbal ex7 precision to their views on the subject, and that recently a movement was started throughout the country to muzzle the press, and stop the publication of his sermons in the newspaper.
 Tt is evident from this. that we have reached a crisis in the religious world hitherto unknown since the dark ages, and which thought impossible in this en- frightened age. To hinder free thought, free speech. free investigation and the publication of religious truth. is the most darging venture I have ever known min isters of the gospel to make.
 Rather than to take the step of stop ping the mouth of one of Gods humble servants who is earnestly setting forth his views on the Bible, 1 would suffer my arm severed from my body, yea my head. Remember what Jesus said about offending one of his little ones who be-
  fend one of these little ones that believes in me, it is better for him that mill stone were hanged about his neck and he were cast into the sea- Mark 9-42. Why do they not meet MT. Russell in the forum. and from their pulpits combat his teaching by the scripture? Are they not able to meet him? Does he not support every argument and every thought pre- sented by scripture?
 Again, why do they not rest their case in the hands of God like the wise Gamaliel did. in the days of the apostles, when Peter and others were on trial? Gamaliel rose up in the council and said: : Refrain from these men, and let them alone, for, if this work be of men, it will come to naught. but if 1t be of God, ye cannot overthrow 1t. for you fight against God.
 Tn some places Mir. Russells books have been collected and burned in the streets, with the result that his books multiplied many fold in those places God will take a hand in this fight as sure os we live Bewarei I warn them that the more thoughtful among them may not bring condemnation upon themselves
 There is already widespread discon- tent Somehow our people are feeling after God and looking around for spir- itual food more substantial than they have been feeding upon. Let them look. Let them search for Truth wherever it may be found Our people are intelligent and able to think for themselves and will do it. All can read and have Bibles and other books explaining the Bible or can get them if desired. When leaders of churches unite to force people to ac- cept or reject creeds according to their views by restraining the liberty of speech and the liberty of the press, to prevent the publication of doctrine of the Bible according to other mems views, they have departed from the rational idea of deal ing with the subject, and we cannot hold with them s.

BAD CONDITIONS
 EXIST IN MEXICO Returning American Tells of His Experience EDUCATION NEEDED
H. P. Teller States Masses of Mexi- can People Need Schools and Not Suffrage-Guerilla Warfare
 Is Deplorable

''The American people do not realize the seriousness of conditions in Mexico said H. P. zeller, a mining engineer, who has spent the last four years in Mexico, and who was in Birmingham yesterday after noon for several hours on his way to his home In Columbus. O. Mir. Teller is con- nected with the New Sabinas company limited. a mining company controlled by English interests at Sabinas, Mexico. While In Mexico Mir zeller had some ex- citing experiences and was 8 prisoner at different times of both the federal and rebel troops.
 "The revomtion." said Mir. Teller. ''is not so bad around our district at sabinas but the fighting Is severe farther west of us The states of Coahuila and Tama- llpis are the only ones in Mexico where there is comparative peace. During the first revolution we had a great deal of trouble at our mines when officers would come there to raise volunteers and would carry off our horses. saddles and ammuni- ton. While prospecting in the mountains was captured and held prisoner by both sides. but always released. -s "on account of the fact that the gov- ernment owns the telegraph lines and have strict censorship on the news that is sent out the American public does not realize how bad conditions are in Mexico. They are far worse than peo- pie even imagine. The massacre of the 300 Chinese at Torreon was one of tho most horrible things I ever heard of The Chinamen were cut down and ridden over In the streets of the city and were shown no quarter at all. The guerilla warfare in the southern states is being waged flereely and conditions there are deplora- ble.
 T believe that fully 70 per cent of the Americans who were in Mexico two years ago have left the country About 300 roads recently left the country and those who have remained have practically all sent their families to American soil. I believe that the government forces will whip the rebels before long. but with con- ditions as they are the victory will not help much. The federals will have to sup press the guerilla warfare In the south and that will take a very long time.
 Many of the mines in Mexico have sus- pended operations because of the railroad troubles. Some of them are running, but only irregularly. The business in the country Is operating only on a small scale. There are very few Americans in Mex leo who want to see American interven- ton. and many of the NIexicans are op- posed to 1t.
 .'The whole trouble Hes in the fact that Madero made so many foolish promises to the people He offered them the vote. and the peon class is not fit to vote at all. What they need is schools and revised educational system. Around the mines the mining companies often pay the teachers and furnish the school buildings"
 MT. Zeler will go to his home In Colum- bus for a short visit and then will go to Pittsburg, where he will work for the Republic Iron and Steel company. He ex- poets to go back to Mexico in about year if conditions are changed.

UNCLE SAM BROKE"

Although the local federal employees have received no money for their work during June, they will not be absent from duty this morning or tomorrow morning The employees feel that some action will be taken by Congress to meet the pay roll. which was overlooked by Presl- dent Taft. so busy was he in connection with the Chicago fight. According 10 the riles of the posto1fiee department the em- ployes could refuse to work. but Post master Aldrinh anticipates absolutely no trouble in that connection

Start Tomorrow

Mir Leake said yesterday afternoon that operations would be started to- morrow morning at the plants noted. It is generally understood that MT. Leake and MT. Coffin have secured financial assistance as well as credit and will make an effort to work out the situation confronting them as quickly and satisfactorily as possible.
 It had been generally understood locally that MT. Leake would file his request with Judge Grubb yesterday and that the plants would be resumed tomorrow. With the resumption the receivers, 1t Is stated, make step to- ward bringing relief to considerable number of employees who have been out of work one week and who are said to have been panic stricken on account of the cessation in the mid dle of the summer.
 The receivers have been working on the plans of resumption since taking hold last Monday and have satisfied themselves in less than a week tslat the best thing to do Is to resume oper- ations at some of the plants.

No New Developments

MT. Leake said yesterday after the authority had been given by Judge Grubb that there were no new develop ments in the affairs of the Alabama Consolidated excepting the resumption order. He said that a minute inves- tigation was being made by the re- ceivers as to the exact conditions but that nothing had been agreed upon relative to the ultimate result.
 Harry w. Coffin one of the receivers, is to return home perhaps tomorrow. He has been in Baltimore trying to get the owners of the bonds, interest upon which were forfeited. to delay action while the receivers were Investigating. He is said to be meeting with success in that work and the fact that his visit has been extended for few days au- gurs well for his mission. according to the local beliefs.
 MT. Coffin Is understood to have been given a cordial hearing by the Balti- more Trust company. owners of the bonds and other interests connected with the bond sale. MT Leake said yesterday that MT Coffin would re- turn within the next few days.

Damaged ears and broken noses are
all some men have to show for a ring
career, and when their strength GIBBS
too swiftly to carry them through ten
rounds, they have TO hunt jobs as
rubbers, managers or promoters. Ii
they are successful in this they may
find employment at $1.65 a day. To
other men boxing has given a start
in life that they probably would not
have secured in a mercantile line.
There are perhaps more prodigals
in boxing than in any other business,
a fact that is to be wondered at when
you consider that 1t Is a hard game.
Most boxers, were they to begin over
again, would shun the gloves as a
means of livelihood. Proof enough
that while the comparative work and
the pay appeal to the popular imagl-
nation of the youth, in reality it is
not quite what it is cracked up to be.
Why, then, all the benefits that you so
often read about to ''all-in" boxers?
Why didn't they save what they
made? One explanation is that it
came in lunches. when it did come,
and it therefore was hard to hold.
Terry on a Stage Door.
Twelve years ago Terry McGovern
was getting $1,000 a round. Riches
we're pouring in to him practically
without effort. When he beat Pedlar
Palmer for the bantam championship
he drew the biggest portion of a
$40. 900 purse for delivering four
punches. There were many others of
like amount that required more exer-
ton and theatrical rewards added. In
1907 Terry's friends were called upon
to give the Brookiynite a testimonial
benefit in Madison Square Garden to
laid poor Terry In the dark hour of
his afflfction." Now the terrible one
is tending a stage door in New York.
There Is Young Corbett, the phe-
nom from Denver, without a dollar in
the bank. Corbett made $4,000 in
three years. Honey Melody, once a
handsome boy and welterweight
champion, now is lighting for feed
money. The pleasing c~ountenance of
a few years ago has given way to the
| disigured face of the pugilist, who
has taken the knocks of opponents for
many seasons To-day he can't fight

a lick, but he has to fight to keep
going. He needs a benefit, too.
AtteiI's sauandering.
Abe Attell has squandered three
fortunes. He has less than S. 900 left
after fourteen years in the game. And
he is growing old, Bob Fitzsimmons,
at so, boasts of a farm at Dunellen,
N. j., as the only visible wealth from
a lifetime in the ring, where he made
a goodly pile. Danny Webster, once
the coasts great featherweight, and
George Memsic, lightweight champion
for a minute, are climbing telephone
poles in Los Angeles for a living.
Each accumulated enough coin to
have rendered them independent.
Marvin Hart, i'll of typhoid fever in
his Kentucky home, has little left
of his ring earnings. Owen Moran
has one through $75, 000, and is box
ing in a poor farm.
AL Kaufman, who at n time was
considered the likeliest heavyweight
in the world. has a poor financial
rating, after having made several
thousands. His boxing days are num-
bered, too. Jim Flynn, who butted
Johnson at Las Vegas so persistentiy
that the fight was stopped, possibly
has $1,000 in cash laid by for the
rainy spell. He should have five or
six times hat amount.
KetcheI Leaves $40.
Stanley Ketchel, the assassin OF
middleweights for years, left $40
when he died two ear ago. Think
of that. Ketchel was a splendid
money maker and probably harvested
over 800, 900 during his career. Jim
Barry, who has been having big. good
paying battles since 1907, couldn't
purchase an automobile today.
Jim Corbett, "Pompadour JIM Is
making $3.50 a week on the stage, but
he saved practically nothing OF his
ring fortune. After John i. Sulli-
van was through they had to give
him a benefit. The money he has
now he got through stage work and
private enterprises.
Billy Papke possibly could write
| check for $4,000 but for no much
over that. Billy has gone through a.
wad OF money.
The list does not end here, but
what's the use of continuing?

RIOT AT THE POLO
GROUNDS OVER TICKETS

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-There was
a near riot here yesterday afternoon,
involving a thousand or more fans
when the first game of q scheduled
double-header between the Giants
and the Pirates was called off.
When the announcement was made
the b~leaeherltes made a dash for the
ticket booths, demanding the return
of their money. The special police
men were swept aside, and for a time
ii looked as though the booths would
be wrecked. A detachment of regular
policemen were called-in and after
considerable difficulty restored order.
