REV. PRICE ApMoNIsHED. H
Not Guilty of Acts Sufficient to
Change Pastorate.

New York, April S.-@Guiltys of
.imprudent and3unministerial conduct
was the verdict of the court Of the
New York Conference Of the Method
.ist Episcopal Church yesterday
against the Rev. DR.. Jacob E. Price,
pastor of the Washington Heights
Church, defendant, on charges made
by women members Of his congrega-
ton.
Two other specifications, one accus-
ing Dr. Price of immortality in con-
duct in violation of the moral law"
and the other Of Indulgence of sinful
tempers and wor:s," were not sus-
tanned.
1t was the judgment of the select
committee, which reported to the con-
ference that Dr.. Price Should be, and
hereby is admonished as a result of
his conviction on the first specifca-
tion."
Bishop Luther 3. Wilson. presiding
at the conference, directed the confer
.ence to receive the findings of the
committee without any expression of
approval or Iisapproval. The COM
mittee's report accordingly was re-
'ceived in silence.
The court dir not find DR.. Price
guilty of .aIcts sufficiently flagrant to
demand change of pastorate, for in
the list of changes for the ensuing
year, as read by Bishop Wilson, Dr..
Price retains his Washington Heights
pulpit.
Mrs Claude E. Dore, wife of the at
torney who prepared the charges Of
unmiristerial conduct against the p2s-
tor, was recalled to the stand yester-
day, and said she was quite sure DR..
Price kai kissed her twice.
Mrs. Hilnla Dohl, another of the
psstors' accusers, who said she re-
ce:ved number Of letters containing
threats, rushet1 from the trial room
and said:
81 hav set out to fight the devil and
his hcsts, and although he has more
devices than l have ever dreamed OF,
i intena to show that alienist in there
bow mach he knows before I get
through with him."
The Rev. DR.. Frank Belcher. pastor
of the Five Points Mission, in sum-
ming up for DR.. Price. said the accu-
sat:ors were mere "hallucinations."

Arrest Twenty-Seven Book
makers But Seven Make
Their Escape.
MAY CALL OUT TROOPS.
Special Squad Under Baldwin Sent 20
Norfolk County Governor De-
mands That Laws be Obeyed.

Riclinond, Va, April 9-Acting un-
der the direct orders of Governor
Stuart, twenty special policemen in
charge of Detective w. G.. Baldwin,
yesterday raided the betting ring at
the Jamestown Jockey Club track,
near Norfolk, arrested thirteen book
makers, and captured more than $4,000
in cash.
When Governor Stuart was noti-
fled last night over the long distance
telephone by Attorney-General John
Garland Pollard, in Norfolk of the
days developments, he gave orders
to have the squad at the track again
today to arrest other bookmakers if
a further effort is made to violate the
law. Troops will be callel out if any
attempt is made today to interfere
with the civil authorities.
The raid on the betting ring, in
which twelve books were in opera
tiop, was we'll planned, but the tumult
that broke when the gamblers were
seized bordered almost on the verge
of riot. County officers, who claim
ed that the arrests were illegally
made, tried desperately to rescue the
prisoners. They did set seven of them
free.
Baldwin's twenty officers captured
twenty bookmakers, but in the fight
that followed only thirteen were hee.
When placed in automobiles to be con-
veyed to the Norfolk Jail, crowd of
300 synpathizers surrounded the cars
in the effort to take tharN from the
law. Other attempts were made to
damage the machinery so that the
cars would be unable to move under
their own power.
In the gneral fight, James '. Trehy,
clerk of the Norfolk County Circuit
Court, was struck over the heaas
knocked down and slightly injured by
w. G. Baldwin. Several others were
injurel. The prisoners were locked up
last night in default of bail IN the
sum of $4,000 each.
f. The preliminary hearing was set for
this afternoon at o'clock, but it may
be delayed.
It was learned on high authority last
night that conference had been held
with the military authorities, with
view of calling ont troops today
! if any attempt was made to inter-
fere with the civil authorities, who
have orders to arrest other persons
engaged IN bookmaking at the track.
! In speaking af the action at James
town, Governor Stuart said last night
that the results of the arrests as
made, considering the large amount
of money found in the possession OF
| the bookmakers and the unlrtstakaole
evi 'erce of the guilt, not to mentloA
Ithe alleged sympathy shown by some
Of the regular officers to the gamblers
would indicate that the steps taken to
handle the situation were none toe
drastic or vigorous.
The Governor further stated that II
was his purpose to uphold and enforce
the law against these offenders, wh'
Il had been deliberately, ,flagrant!y an'
] defiantly violating the law for years
! More especially was he determined up
on that course, he said, because of tht
fact that these bookmakers, who have
been driven from other states were
disposed to convert Norfolk county in
to a practical Monte Carlo.

ring Countries-Raiiroad
Credit Strengthened.

Washington, Dec. 21-The results
OF the granting of a per cent freight
rate increase to Eastern railroads by
the Interstate Commerce commission
are estimated, in official quarters, as
follows:
Increases the gross revenues of 81
railway systems according to esti~
mates to $30,00U,000 annually.
The total mileage affected in the
eastern classification is $4,000 miles,
or approximately "a per cent of the
country's total.
Of the increase 1.6 per cent will GO
into wages, which item at present rep
resents AIS per cent of the railroad
dollar" 1852 per cent into dividends
and surplus; .06 per cent into capital
and the remainder toward operating
expenses, maintenance, etc.
The elimination of an increase in
coal, coke and ore rates cuts the in
crease which had been asked by
$4,000
Coal and Iron Excepted.
Increases approximating + per cent
must be paid on all products and
goods, excepting bituminous coal and
coke, anthracite coal and iron ore and
on articles the rates of which are held
by uneXpired orders of the commits
sion on all lines in the territory be-
tween the Atlantic seab0ard and the
Mississippi north Of the Potomac and
Ohio rivers.
No increases are granted on rail-
alexandria,, alexandria, and rail-and-
lake traffic.
The increase in rates on cement,
starch, brick, tile, clay and plaster,
not allowed in the decision Of Aug l,
are allowed.
Will Restore Public Confidence.
Heralded by bankers, railroad men
and business men as tending to re-
store public confidence.
Millions of dollars worth of steel
and equipment resting orders" con-
tingent upon such decision, now en-
pected to come into the market, mean
ing unemployment to thousands.
Predictions that every line of BUSH
ness will be sentimentally affected.
Credit Of railroads strengthened,
which means that the $537 100000 Of
refnancing necessary to be done in
the next two years will be easier, this
in addition to other financing in that
period.
A return of confidence on the part
of investors, not only in the future OF
railroad securities but of the other
industries of the nation.
The belief that it will stave off the
feared avalanche Of American securi~
ties from the warning countries.
