|. Large numbers are turned away
every Sabbath on account of the
church being too small to accommo-
date the crowds which attend. There
fore, by unanimous vote of the church,
the trustees have been ordered to
erect new and thoroughly modern
brick church the corner stone of which
will be layed the first Sunday in May
by Bishop Parks, ID. D., of Chicago,
LII.
The Sabbath school enrolment has
grown from 4S to 1877, with an average
attendance of 101. Presiding Elder j.
S. Payne said at the close of the con-
ference session that this is the largest
school in the district and that the
Sabbath school and every department
of the church had more money in the
treasury than any church in the dis
trict.
The financial system, instituted by
DR.. Bray, has completely revolution
lied things financially so that a good
sum is kept in the bank at all times,
from which every obligation is met.
The revival just closed cost the
church $55.75 and was raised without
single public collection. This is a
result of our improved financial sys-

connection.

FOR NO WAIVER OF RIGHTS.
Representative Moss Introduces Res
olution Relating to Toll Renea1

Representative Moss OF West Vir-
GINA, republican. who voted against
the Sims Panama tolls repeal bill, to-
day introduced resolution to declare
that 1t is the sense of the House that
the enactment of that measure and its
repeal of the clause granting exemp-
ton to coastwise shipping ARE in
furtherance of the desire of the United
States to facilitate negotiations be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain and are in no sense to be con-
strued as waving or denying any
right possessed by the United States
to grant exemption from tolls to her
vessels of war and commerce"
The resolution is preceded by a pre-
amble that points out that Great Britain
protested against the exemption clause
on the ground that it violated the Hay
Pauncefote treaty; that there is a diff
ference Of opinion between the two gov
ernments as to the proper construction
and meaning Of the treaty. and that sit
is desired, as a matter Of international
courtesy, to enter into negotiations with
the government of Great Britain for the
peaceful and proper settlement of the
question SO pending
There WIS no action on the resolution.

to that item of expense.

Pennsylvania system east of Pittsburgh
were $24, S55, ga in 1910 and $50, All, 2lO in
19l3-an increase of 1873 per cent He
said that expenses for maintenance of
way during 1918 were much greater than
ever before and probably would remain
at the present high level. because of
large increases in wages; the policy of
regulatory bodies; increased demands of
the travelling and shipping public; the
necessity for higher standard of track
structure and roadbed, on account OF
heavier equipment and traffic and the
establishing various safety devices and
systems. STRENGTHENING lines and similar
works. He indicated. also. the higher
cost Of rails, ties and materials used in

Queen Eleanore Of Bulgaria is expected
to visit the United States next month for
the stated purpose of inspecting hospitals

to increasing the efficiency of similar
institutions in her own country.
The State Department is informed

detailed Information as to when and
how the trip will be made, in order to
arrange the formalities usual to such
occasions.
The queen will be received with all
the honors due her rank and position.

more than probable, the President will
give a dinner and reception at the
White House in her honor.
Many royal personages have visited
the United States, but the Queen of
Bulgaria will be the first reigning
queen to do SO.

No Recognition of Huerta
in Notice of Assembling
of Hague Peace Conference

The reference yesterday, by Gen.
Huerta in his message to the Mexican
congress 10 the action of the United
States government in connection with the
proposed reassemblinS of The Hague con-
ference, has attracted the attention OF
the officials here because of the ilnpiIca-
ton that in this matter the United states
government has extended recognition to
the Huerta government. The particular
reference was contained in the following
paragraph:
The United States has been good
as TO invite me, through his eNcellency.
resident Wilson, to organize i'll common
accord the preparatory work for the ap-
preaching peace conference at The
Hague"
This followed directly statement that
most of the American governments had
not interrupted their political relations
with his government, hence the INFER
ence as to the United States.
The explanation of the statement is
found in the fact that last February. with
the purpose of removing what appeared
to be formidable. though purely teen
meal obstacle to the carrying out or the
original plan for the reassemoling OIL
The Hague conference this year.
Secretary Bryan sent note TO the
American diplomatic officers in every
country which was party to the oriSi-
nal Hague conference, suggesting that
those governments designate the ao-
ministrative council of the permanent
court of arbitra ton al The tia5ue as
members of a special committee to az
range the program for the third con-
ference.
That note was printed and copy was
sent to Nelson O'Shaughnessy, the
American charge at the Mexican capt.
tai, who in the ordinary and routine
way delivered 1t to the Mexican foreign
office. Considering the occasion and
the circumstances, the State Depart
ment officials do not regard that action
as constituting a formal political rec
ognition of the Huerta government.

REA CITES NEED Of
INCREASE IN RATES
President of Pennsylvania
System Last Witness to
Be Heard by |. C. C.
DECLARES RETRENCHMENT
is THE ONLY ALTERNATIVE
Would Have to Begin on Improve
ments, to Detriment of Travel
ing Public, He Testifies.

President Rea Of the Pennsylvania
system was the last witness to be heard
today before the interstate commerce
commission on behalf of the eastern
railroads asking for an increase in
freight rates. Oral testimony for the
roads was concluded with his statement
Chairman Harlan and Commissioners
Clark and Meyer were on the bench to-
day DR.. Dumba, the Austro-Hungarian
ambassador. and his guest, Prince Mum
ster Of Derneburg, were interested audi
tors.
President Rea said emphatically, in a
carefully prepared statement. that not
only the Pennsylvania, but all American
railroads, were confronted with the ne
cessity Of retrenchment, which might
prove serious, unless they were permitted
to increase their net incomes. Said he:
Retrenchment Is Alternative.
Unless the gap between receipts and
expenditures can be widened, we must
begin to retrench, and retrenchment
must begin on betterments and improve
ments not directly necessary to the move
ment of trains. We should be very re-
luctant to do this, as it would be to run
counter to our traditions and practice Of
half century, and we are sure that it
would not be in the public interest, and
we do not believe the public desire it,
Now. we have as much public support
as can possibly be given to plea al
most national In its scope and effect,
and We firmly believe our application for
a very moderate freight rate increase is
in accord with the best public interest
While he did not assert that the ad-
mo tn IA a n tons 70

dividends in the immediate future" Mr..
Rea declared that ANY general idea that
the Pennsylvania position was so
revenue is not correct" He added that
the PENNSYLVANIA had earned only 4.S4
per cent during the fiscal year of 1913.
Unwise To Limit New Facilities.
Discussing the desirability, the neces-
sity, to provide for future traffic de-
mands, Mr.. Rea said:
I'VE also know that it is unwise and
impossible to limit new facilities to
actual and Immediate necessities
Necessarily that involves a large ex-
penditure of money that only grad
ually becomes productive. We know
that judging from our past expert
ences, many millions could be advan-
tageously expended on the system in
the next few years.
1--WE have confronting us a program OF
expenditures which we believe to be
essential, some of them mainly for the
benefit Of the public. but all of them
necessary to properly accommodate the
present and future traffic.
TT is unwise as well as unnecessary,
to commit ourselves to any large fixed
program of expenditures, except to say
that without assurance of adequate
earnings they cannot proceed, and a
reasonable portion of the cost of these
ought in our judgment to be provided
from surplus earnings.
