PARISH SPLIT OVER LATIN
French and Germans of Metz at War
Over the Proper Sound
of "U."

The proper method of pronouncing
Latin has long been matter of con-
troversy among the learned, but it is
startling to find an entire parish dis
organized by the question. This is
the case in the parish of st. Max
imin's, in Metz.
The older clergy of Alsace-Lorraine
were brought up under French intiu-
ence, and are accustomed to pro-
nounce the church Latin with the soft
French 'u." The younger generation
has been taught in the schools to pro.
nounce the ''u" full, according to the
German and Italian manner.
Yesterday the choir Of st. Maximin's
pronounced the Latin OF the pieces
sung at mass in the German way. The
parish priest, an old man, solemnly
rebuked them, and they shut up their
music books and left the church.
Probably the clergyman found the
new pronunciation grated on his ears,
and his outburst was due to the sensi-
tiveness of a scholar.
The parishioners, however, are not
scholars, and are now divided into
two camps-those who maintain that,
as Metz is now a German city, the
church Latin should be sung in the
German way, and those who hold that
the choir is doing the work of Ger
man officials and attempting to de-
stroy French influence.-New York

THlRTY-FlVE LIVES LOST
Municipal Pier at Long Beach, Cal.,
SoIapses Under Crowd.

Prospective damage suits aggregat-
ing probably $1,OOO,OOO or more and a
grand jury investigation engaged the
attention of city officials as the most
imminent outcome OF the disaster
when thirty-fve persons lost their
lives in the collapse of a portion Of
the municipal pier at Long Beach, Cal
The list is expected to be further in
creased by two
Mayor |. S. Hatch, members of the
city council and of the board of pub
lis works conferred with District At
torney John ID. Fredericks with refer
ence to the grand jury inquiry which
will be started either on or just be-
fore the coroner's inquest tomorrow
The object of the inquiry is to fix re-
sponsibility for the condition of the
pier a section of which in front of the
municipal auditorium went down
under a weight of human beings which
has been estimated at less than $50
tons.
The weakness Of the pier, which
was built eight years ago and never
repaired in that particular portion, is
believed to have been due to decay
caused by the action of salt air on
wood and its iron fasteners and sup
ports.

Man and His WaYs.

One day well-known politician was
enjoying a chat with friend at a ho-
tel, when a strange young man came
up and said:
Can ! see you for a moment. Mr..
Dash?'
Certainly" said Mr.. Dash, rising.
The young man led him across the
room and seemed to have something
important to say 10 him. Arrived in
a corner the stranger whispered in
the politicians ear:
81 am of the staff of an evening
paper, and | should like you to tell
me what you think of the situation in
the east"
Nlr. Dash looked a little puzzled at
first, then he said;
Follow me-"
Leading the way, he walked through
the reading-room, through a passage
into the dining-room, and drawing his
visitor into the corner behind the hat
rack, he whispered:
Il really don't know anything about
It,"

DEADBEATS OF ONE PATTERN
Veteran Credit Man Says They All
Talk Alike and Try Same
Tricks.

"Deadbeats," remarked an old credit
man, "all talk alike. They are plausi.
BILE to start WITH he went on, "and
are so free and easy they deceive ev.
cry one but the most astute credit
man. When they are dunned the first
time they make a frank and positive
promise to pay on a certain date. They
do this so unreservedly that suspicion
is disarmed. OF course they don't pay
but they have some of the best ex-
cuses in the world They have had a
run of hard luck for instance. II
the merchant takes this well, they will
ask for more credit. If the merchant
is obdurate they will come back with
the statement that the merchant Is
making it unnecessarily hard for them
to get along by crowding them; they
will hint, also, that others have been
soliciting their trade.
Fright there is the time to come
down on them hard. Shut off their
credit. Usually it is useless to sue,
for such persons are judgment proof.
The next move is to let them think
you have forgotten them. They al
ways are on the watch for the man
who keeps nagging them all the time.
but they grow careless of the man
who leaves them alone. Some day they
will leave an opening so that some
thing can be attached or levied on,
and then is the time to jump in and
get your money.
"a favorite trick of the deadbeat is
to offer his note for the account.
These fellows think nothing of giving
their notes. They would buy the con-
tinent of Asia if they could give their
notes for it, and would clean up for
tune and get out Of paying the note.
Just listen to one of these deadbeats
talk, remember what he says, and
when the next one strikes you his Ian
guage will be identical. 1t is almost
as If it were the fixed ritual Of their
order"

<EEPS OUT OF WATER NOW
lander With Fishing Line Tied to
His Leg Has Lively Time
With Plckerel.

A Wisconsin gander was go upset
by experiments made upon and
through him by a pischievous boy
that Tor a long time ne would not go
into the water.
The gander's determination to alb
stain from water as a means of bath
ing grew out of the following circum-
stances:
The boy thought he would tie fish
incline to the gander's leg and with
hook properly baited turn the bird
out into the water. The bait was
frog.
The gander went into the mill pond,
where he swan around for half an
hour, turning "fiip-feps" and diving
for food. Suddenly he felt pull at
his leg and looked as surprised as the
lone fisherman" when he caught a
whale.
The gander concluded that there
was something the matter, and he
looked to ascertain the cause. The
pickerel on the hook gave several
Jerks, whereupon the gander decided
that he wanted to go home
He at once started for the shore,
but the pickerel on the hook wanted
to go the other way. The gander
seemed frightened at first. Then he
evinced signs of anger and tried to
fly to shore, but the pickerel pulled
him back.
After half an hour of the hardest
work he had ever done, the gander
came ashore dragging a six-pound
pickerel up the bank.
The boy took off the pick erel ana
Daited the hook with another frog. He
tried to induce the gander to go in
Tor another swim, but no amount OF
persuasion could get the bird to do so.
He simply could not be driven in. For
many weeks the gander would not go
into the water He would proceed
with the rest OF his flock to the wa
ters edge, but there he would stop.
He would seem to be arguing with
them with reference to the danger
they were courting,

The Slayer of Miaco.

One of the most peculiar cases ever
brought to the attention Of the court
of first instance recently came to light
in Pangasinan Province.
Pedro Pabaira, with two others, was
accused of the murder of Bernabe
Laco, and on being brought to trial
the first pleaded guilty, there being an
aggravating circumstance of treach-
cry, and was sentenced to 20 years
in Bilibid
Now it comes to light that the de.
ceased was Miaco, an outlaw, who de-
serted from the constabulary some
time ago, taking with him various
arms and accoutrements and who had
engaged in outlawry since that time.
There was a reward Of 500 pesos out
for his capture, dead or alive.
The question now is, Should the pris-
oner serve his term for killing fel.
low-citi2en, or should he be liberated
and given reward for killing an ene-

a. MILLIONS FOR
RELIGIOUS WORK
PFSSbyteTianS Vote Great Sum
Before AdjOurning
SCORING FOR IRREuGIOUS
Narrative Committee Reports That
1000 Churches Failed to Get New
Members During the Past Year.

A budget of almost $4,OOO,OO0 for re-
ligious work at home and abroad was
adopted by the Northern Presbyterian
general assembly at the closing ses-
sion at Atlanta, Ga.
Much interest centered in the Nara
tive of Religion, which declared that
the white slave traffic was making in
roads into the Sabbath schools and
Christian Endeavor societies of the
land and that far too many of the
churches most intelligent members
spent their Sundays on the golf links,
instead of attending divine services.
The narrative called attention to the
fact that nearly 1000 churches in the
denomination had not received
single member of confession last year
and that it requires fifty church men,
bers a whole year to save single
soul.
Notwithstanding these facts the
church reports more than $1,000 ad-
ditions on profession of faith, the
largest number for any one year in its
history.
Facts were brought to the attention
OF the assembly regarding vacant
churches and unemployed ministers,
which led to the approval of plan to
establish kind of employment agency
to be known as the committee on
vacancy and supplies and $500 was
voted to defray the expenses of this
agency, which will have an Office in
Chicago and a paid secretary. Rev
Walter II. Huston, the secretary of the
committee, declared that in order to
supply all Of the vacant churches
1000 more ministers are needed,
All efforts by the friends of the home
board to have the action of the as
sembly reconsidered and the stamp of
approval placed on the department of
church and country life failed and the
wording of the recommendation, that
this department shall be discontinued
as soon as practicable stands.
The movement to oust the assistant
clerk of the assembly was withdrawn
through the executive commission.
The assembly directed that a pur
chasing agent for all of the boards and
agencies of the church should be EN-
ployed. More than 100000 is spent
each year for supplies and this action
was taken in the interest of economy.
The question of a single treasurer foe
all - the boards and agencies of the
church was held over for another

M'CARTYS NECK BROKEN
Prize Fighters Heart Found to Be in
Good Shape,

Luther McCarty, claimant of the
white heavyweight championship of
the world, was knocked out by Arthur
Pelkey's terrific blow in the first round
of the fight for the heavyweight hon
ors at Calgary Alberta. He died eight
minutes later
The latest developments Of the
tragic ending Of the battle discloses
the startling news that McCarty's
death was caused from broken neck
and a bursted blood vessel at the base
of the brain, directly caused from the
punch delivered by Pelkey whose left
landed flush on the right side Of Nc
Carty's jaw.
1t was learned through one of the
medical students who attended the
autopsy that the heart still almost
held its shape.
The city authorities have decided to
hold Pelkey until after the inquest and
not allow him further liberty on bail.

SENATE
TO AMEND BILL
Few Democrats 10 Join Repub-
IiGans and Change Tariff
SMALL WOOL AND SUGAR DUTY
Present Information Dscloses That at
Least Four Democratic Senators In.
tend to Desert Caucus Decision.

Democratic leaders in the United
States senate now fully expect that
the Underwood bill will be amend.
ed in important particulars in the SEN
ate, If not sooner in the finance com
mittee or the Democratic caucus.
The belief Is growing that the bill
when it leaves bhe senate will carry
duty on sugar of between 70 and so
cents per hundred pounds and that
wool will be taxed 20 per cent instead
of being on the free list as at present
1t is further expected that when the
tariff bill comes back from the con-
ference committee free wool and ulti-
maze free sugar will have been re-
stored as in the bill at present 1t
will then be up to the senate to en-
gage in tug of war with the house
over the acceptance of the conference
report.
The Republican leaders in congress
have information which leads some
of them at least to believe that the
shrewder of the Democratic leaders
look forward to such a result as the
best solution of the troublesome
problem presented to them by the
sugar and wool schedules in the SEN
ate.
They realize that at least two DEM
ocratic senators will vote for an
amendment to put a duty on wool
when the Republicans offer it in the
senate and that the two from Loulsi-
ana will vote for a duty on sugar. In
dications are that these four Demo-
cratic senators and probably more
have reached an understanding, or will
reach one shortly, by which they will
pool issues and be able by joining
with the Republicans to amend the
bill in the senate Having done this
they will at least have made demon-
stration to satisfy their Democratic
producing states.
The Democratic leaders believe
that when the final test comes on ac-
cepting or rejecting the tariff bill as
whole alter it has been returned
from the conference committee carry
ing free wool and ultimate free
sugar the recalcitrant Democrats will
yield and accept the bill practically in
the form in which President Wilson
had approved it.
This cor~se would allow the Dem
ocrat senators to save their faces with
" hOMe folks. Realizing the posi-
billty of such a denouement the Re-
publican leaders are Planning to put
the responsibility squarely upon the
Democratic senators who profess to
be ardentty in favor of duty on wool
or on sugar
There is a conciliatory spirit among
Democratic members OF the finance
committee toward the western sena-
tors and the two Louisiana senators
who are standing out for the wool duty
and the sugar duty. Several compro-
mise suggestions have been made but
nClhing has been agreed upon.
1t is expected that Senator Ransdell
will strike an effective blow next week
when he addresses the senate in an
effort to draw a distinction between
the sugar trust and the growers of
cane and beets. The senator insists
THAI the strongest single influence that
works for free sugar is the trust. The
speech promises to be sensational

BIG RUBY UNDER HIS SKIN
Burmese-Eurasian Was Used as Hid
ing Place for Jewel by His
Father.

Surgeon Watson tells Tip about
some strange smuggling, a story of
Burmah rubies and diamonds that
passed through this port undetected,
If not unsupported The surgeon was
called to a big hotel to see a gen.
tleman with painful arm. The pa
lent was a yellow, slender, tawny
blond, the left arm little swollen and
very painful. A hard lump was found
under the skin just above the elbow,
and this was pressed on the funny"
nerve that runs behind the elbow.
The lump felt so queer and unusual
that the surgeon took an X-ray shot
at 1t and found it to be a big ruby,
about five carats.
This is the novel story of man
with the ruby in his arm: He was
a Burmese-Eurasian (his father half
white). In his childhood his father
had been the chief of band of da-
colts, cut-throat highwaymen, and had
skillfully and painlessly inserted a
number of stones into the layer of
fat under the skin Of his fat boy, to
make him a walking cache of secret
treasure. AS a youth he went to a
mission school, later was graduated
from a tech" school, and was now
a highly successful business man The
man with the arm set with rubies
would allow no more examinations or
X-ray pictures. There was not a
trace of scar near the ruby, so skill
fully had the insert settling been
made. When asked what he intended
to do about his hidden treasures, he
said that was for his father to say

CONSERVATISM RULES
Business Continues Large, But Future
Is Ignored.

Is Ignored.
Duns Review OF Trade says this
week:
"The volume of business in nearly
all branches of trade and industry
continues very large, but it is mostly
to immediate needs. Confidence IS
sustained by the prospect of big crops,
but manufacturers and merchants still
pursue conservative policy pending
the termination of tariff uncertainty.
Such recession in trade as exists is
chiefly in the absence of new orders
for future delivery.
Mercantile and industrial condi-
tions are strengthened by the absence
OF large stocks and the financial situa-
tion is made more secure by the alb
sence of excessive speculation. The
iron arS steel mills continue fully oc-
cupied in holding orders, but there has
been a sharp falling off in the volume
