SAMUEL MCCALL
REPLIES TO THE
SHAW CHARGES

,valtham, Mass, Oct. 27.-The Re-
publican candidate for governor, Sam
uel w. Mccall, tonight replied to
charges made last night by William
Shaw. the Prohibition candidate, that
Mccall supporters had attempted to
interfere with Shaw's activities in
connection with his position as gener-
al secretary Of the United Society OF
Christian Endeavor.
Mr.. Mccall said in part:
x do not question the fullest right
of the members and ministers OF
churches to take part in politics. But
when a man at the head Of relig-
aus order is also running for great
Office it is a dissertation of the church
of Christ that he should attempt to
make his order and the churches in
etruments to further his own political
ambitions" ,-.,
After asserting that Mr.. Shaw's
present purpose appeared to be the
election of the Democratic candidate,
Mr. Mccall. continued:
MIR. Shaw is reported as complain
ing that men have threatened to hold
contributions from the Christian En-
t,eavor., know nothing of this, but 1t
would indeed be strange if the at
tempt to use this noble organization
as an annex to the Democratic politi-
cal machine should not be resented
by it's intelligent supporters as deg
regation Of the order.
.The Christian Endeavor was found l.
ed by a very great man, a college,
mate of mine, and lifelong friend.
It would be tragic if it's history were
to be chronicled in some such epitapt
as this: '., ~-.'.-

Mann Resolutions


The Right Rev Alexander Mann, rec
tor of Trinity church, Boston offered
a resolution stating the purpose Of the
Panama Congress as understood by the
board, but not embodying any instruc-
tions to delegates. This brought torth
considerable opposition and in the DIS
eussion which followed developed that
the main objection among members OF
the Protestant Episcopal church to the
Panama Congress was not based upon
the fact that the Roman Catholic churcn
had declined to participate. but upon 4
question of whether or not the poaro
had authority to authorize a conference
with delegates from board, or boards
OF other denominations.
It was decided that the board coulo
send delegates to confer with represen-
tatives OF other denominations, but that
the delegates could not take part IN any
legislation upon ecclesiastical questions
nor cooperate in any way upon mis-
sionary plans.
It was largely through the efforts of
Right Rev. Richard H. Nelson, bishop
OF Albany N. Y, that the board aoo-
cd to DR.. Manns resolution the state
ment that the delegates will attend the
Panama meeting solely for conference.
Bishop Weller spent several hours In
the church mission house where the
meeting was held, and gave out a state
ment in which he declared special con-
vention of the House of Bishops OF the
Episcopal church might be called IN an
effort TO prevent the board from par
ticipating in the Panama Congress and
making what he termed direct attack
upon the Roman Catholic church.

GOVERNOR WALSH CRITICIzES
REFUSAL OF RAILROADS TO

Attitude of Boston & Maine

Worcester, Mass Oct. N.-The refusal
Of the railroads entering Boston to sub
nit to arbitration their differences with
the 1900 freight handlers on strike was
criticized by Gov. Walsh. the Democratic
candidate for reelection at rallies to-
night. ~
Hundreds Of thousands Of dollars"
said the Governor, referring to the Bos-
ton & Maine Railroad, were spent to
influence the people and Legislature OF
New Hampshire and now a strike may
be forced which would tie up the COM

without attempting to decide in any
way to pass upon the merits Of the
matter in controversy, the facts that all
the railroad lines in the eastern part Of
the country are glutted with freight and
that a general strike would bring dis
aster to the business interests Of the
Commonwealth impose upon the parties
interested a duty to the whole people
that the matters at issue be adjusted
at once or submitted to some form OF
arbitration. This duty devolves in nc
less degree upon the railroad corpora
tions which got their charters from the
people than upon the striking wage
workers."
The next Legislature, the Governor
said, would be called upon to decide
what subsidiary lines of the New York
New Haven & Hartford Railroad should
be ordered disposed of and what legis-
lation should be passed to prevent fur

matters before the Legislature in mind,
