Since 1901 the peasants of vorde1S
thiersee, q remote village in TyroL
have had passion play of their own.
It's text dates, however. from the midi
die of the sixteenth century. The last
performance was given In 1905: tina
next one will take place in 1915. In
preparation for this coming produot
ton, these peasant players reached
the conclusion early this year that
they needed new scenery, new stago
and also a new road that would bring
visitors In greater numbers to thei1
mountain festival. To raise the
amount required they gave during thu
months OF July and August series o6
performances Of the drama. "Juda
Ben Hur," drawn from General Law
Wallace's famous novel by one OF their
members. a peasant who appears t0
have produced an altogether satisfac,
tory dramattzation.

were styled conservatives by some
were ciassed as radicals by others.
Some of those who favored the pur-

In support OF IT. He said the purpose
OF 1t was entirely clear.

he continued. ''ls that II Is too seeta-
rian. To me our present title does
not seem big enough for the mighty
tasks and opportunities to which wa
are called. / wish we were ready TO
go as far as the federation of churches
went in Chicago and to omit the word
protestant from our title. on the ground
that II Is word suggestive OF theo-
logical controversy. and which,
although Il expresses certain aspect
of our position. Ia not now suited to
be emblazoned upon the very forefront
of our banner.
But do not believe that we are
yet ready to do this, and we can put UP
with our present name and work 10y
ally under II go long as may prove
necessary. | have offered this amend
ment because I feel that II would be
worse than foolish to make such a
change until great majority In the
church shall be convinced that 1t Is
desirable. and I believe the day Is sooh
coming when the great majority will
desire name greater and more com
prehensive and more suited TO our
widening tasks and opportunities than
our present one"
Ties Couvention's Hands.
Very Rev. s. S. Marquis. of Michi-
gan, said he opposed the amendment,
because, while 1t prevented any change
of name at this time II also tied the
hands OF the convention on other pro-
gressive legislation.
Rev. w. C. Waters Of Chicago. also
opposed the amendment. saying he
didn't believe the deputies wanted "tc

In the Essex Market Court to-day

the Eighteenth Century. They had
been completed and were about 10 be

they were stolen. The robbery wa,
Kept quiet NJ the time.
Five days after the robbery $500
worth OF the tapestries were found In a
barrel In the back yard OF No. 545 First
avenue by J. Kerchoff, who notified the
police. The apparent reason why the
tapestries had been hidden there wa.
that the place afforded a quick ''geta.
way" the yard connecting with -four
others.
Detective Nelson arrested two youths
Corcoran was one, but both were dis
charged for lack OF evidence. on Feb

Corcoran was implicated. Corcoran wa.
