Theme Of Speeches.
The influence Of German thought on
American civilization was the domi.
nant theme Of the speakers who ad-
dressed the banquet of the alliance
here last night.
Among those who spoke were DR.. C.
J. Hexamer. president Of the alliance
Alfred Giessler, German consul at Chi
cago, who is an honorary delegate tc
the convention, as the special repre-
sentative Of Emperor William; Repre-
sentative Richard Bartholdt Of st
Louis. Ben Blewett superintendent OF
the st. Louis schools. and Frederick w
Lehman Of St Louis, former solicitor
general Of the United States. Mr.. Leh-
mann spoke on "The German Emigrant
aa an American Citizen"
Representative Bartholdt, who made
the opening address, took occasion to give
what he declared the typical German
American stand on the temperance ane
immigration questions
prohibition is not liberty, he declared
''and we want to be free men whose con-
science is a mightier dictator than the
policeman's club.
"Restricted immigration is not liberty
and we want to deny to no man, not ever
the poorest, the opportunity by which we
ourselves rose to success.
German-Americans and Fatherland.
Mr.. Bartholdts subject was '-rhe Rela-
ton of the German-American to His
Fatherland" This relation. he said, was
neither political nor social. but merely
the natural attraction OF the human heart
for the soil upon which 1t first breathed
life.
I'VE resent the idea that there is any
connection between the German-Amelican
and the German government" he con-
tinued. eve are too good American citi-
xens for that. But there Is one German
quality which always sticks to the sons
OF the fatherland. no matter how good
Americans they become, and that - hon.
esty in both public and private life."
Message to Kaiser.
At the conclusion of the banquet
the following cablegram was sent te

Autocracy or Democracye
whether the church is an autocratic
or a democratic body was the subject Of
discussion at preconvention confer
ence, which continued today at st. Marks
Church. The Rev. DR.. John Peters. rector
of st. Michaels Church. contended that
the church was too autocratic with little
time for plain people" The Rev. DR..
Charles Lewis Slattery, rector Of Grace
Church, declared II q church Of pure
democracy. The subject on which both
clergymen spoke was ''VitaHzing Our
Worship"
DR.. Slattery suggested that the use Of
the Psalms at divine worship should be
as voluntary as the selection of hymns:
that hymns should be sung If desired as
substitutes for the Te Deum and the ben
edicdte: that there be individual choice
of the scripture lesson Of the day and
that special prayers be permitted to be
substituted for the general prayers which
are now compulsory.

New, suggested that the convention

Reports of Renewed Fighting
in Central and South
ern Mexico.
SEEKS TO MAKE SHOWING
FOR OCTOBER ELECTION
Efforts Of Government Have Been
Bent on Subduing the Bor-
der States.

Renewed outbreaks OF fighting in the
central and southern parts of Mexico
were reported here today in messages re-
ceived by the constitlitionalist representa-
tives. There were no definite indications
to show whether tho federals or const-
tutionalists are victorious. The reports
showed that the fighting Is not confined
to the border states. as has been indi-
Gated in recent dispatches from Mexico
City.
That Gen. Huerta is putting forth
strong efforts to bring Mexico to such
q state before the elections called for
the 26th Of this month as will give the
elections a show Of legality was in
dicated in the reports OF the move
ments Of his troops. Apparently he is
concentrating his greatest strength in
putting down revolts in the border
states, since reports of fighting In CEN
trail and southern Mexico seldom reach
Washington
1t became known here today that DR..
vasquez Gomez provisional vice president
under the late President Madero. has re-
ceived many urgent messages from Mex
leo City recently to return and become a
candidate in the coming elections Tor
the presidency DR.. Gomez has replied In
every instance that he was ready to run
at fair election. but that he did not
consider 1t possible to hold a fair elec-
tion at the present time.
The latest shake-up in the Mexican cab
met, the third in few months, Is in
terpreted by officials here as move py
Huerta to put his official household In
order for the coming presidential cleo,
tons. The Encouragement is understood
to have been made with a view to placing
each Of the cabinet officers in position
where his peculiar talents might be OF the
greatest service from a party point OF
view.

LOBBY" AT WORK,
PRESIDENT THINKS
May Probably Charge 1t Is
Holding Up Action on Cur
rency Bill.
STATEMENT WOULD PUT
OPPONENTS IN A "H0LE"
Supporters Recall Effect of "Insidi-
out Lobby" Pronouncement on
Tariff Bill.

Recalling the success which attended
the Presidents charge of an "insidious
lobby arrayed against the tariff bill, and
the beating into line thereby of some
recalcitrant senators. it was whispered at
the Capitol today that the President may
inveigh against "big banking" interests
for impeding the currency bill.
In private conversation in the last few
days the President has not minced words
in saying to his congressional callers
that important banking interests are hos
tile to the currency bill and in part at
least responsible for it's delay and for the
stand Of some opposing democrats.
Look for a Statement.
These representatives say 1t would not
be surprising to them If the President
should come out in an open statement to
that effect if obstacles continue to be
thrown in the way of his legislation.
Indeed, some of the Presidents friends
at the Capitol are hoping that he will do
It, They say it would at least put those
who oppose the currency bill at a disad-
vantage by aligning them, through infer
ence at least, with 'the interests" with
sinister motives, and make 1t very un-
comfortable for any democrat further to
resist the administrations policy in con-
sequence.
May Put on "the Screws"
Congressman heard today that President
Wilson is intent upon putting the screws
on the Senate with view to urging i'm
mediate action upon the currency bill. He
is understood. according to reports reach
ing the Capitol, to be impatient over the
idea Of two weeks consideration Of the
bill in committee and to reject utterly the
suggestion that a month should be con-
sumed in the Senate.
There are some twenty-odd absentee
democratic senators at this time. the pair
clerks report, and a call will go out this
week for their return to Washington. In
the meantime the members OF the Senate
finance committee are to be invited to the
White House to hear the Presidents argu-
ment why the bill should go through with
out further delay.
