London, Oct. 20.-There is no truth
Lord Robert Cecil, parliamentary un

in the House of Commons yesterday aft
ernoon in the report that Lord Reading
head of the Anglo French financial mis-
sion in the United States, had been per-
mitted or authorized to discuss with the
United States government the question
of appeals from British prize courts to
an international tribunal.
Neither was there truth, declared the
parliamentary under secretary, in the re-
port that permission and authorization
had been given Lord Reading to discuss
with the government of the United States
the general question of what is called
the freedom of the seas.

One time | took pains to notice how

wash without developing holes, found
that it would 90 through rs times, Then
had the facts by which / could de-
termine the price of one wearing of a
pair of whole stockings-two cents. Aft
er the 25th washing ! mended the stock
ings and spent 10 minutes in doing this.
After this they went through the wash
five times without the development of
new holes. Thus in 10 times | had Sc
cured what would have had to pay 10
cents for at the store, that is, five wear
ings of holeless hose. That put price
of 80 cents an hour on my time, and
made the mending seem distinctly worth
while.
''Then came second mending, which
took 20 minutes, after which the stock
ings went through the wash only twice
without needing more mending. Now
earned in 80 minutes what / could have

amounted TO my selling my time for

MAPS TO SHOW
ROADS EXPANSION
Gives More Details Of the
Alleged Monop-
oily

, New York, Oct. 20.-Robert L. BATHS
attorney for the government in the tria
of William Rockefeller and his 10 co
defendants, charged with violating tn
Sherman law as directors of the New
York, New Haven & Hartford railroad
resumed yesterday his uncompleted ad
dress to the jury.
Mr.. Bats planned to take up more il
detail the story OF the alleged monop
olistic growth of the New Haven, the
high spots of which he outlined Mon,
day. ~e
He made use again, to illustrate his re.
marks, of maps of the New Haven sys-
tenn at various stages of its expansion
Taking up the acquisition Of lines in
eastern Connecticut, Mr.. Bats charged
that lines subsequently called the Peo-
pies Tramway were taken over in 1903
in order to prevent the proposed con-
struction of branch line to Long Is
| land Sound.
|
taken over and all were subsequently
combined under the name of the Con-
solidated Railway company, which it
self was finally merged into the New
Haven.
One of these lines subsequently tax
en- over was the Hartford system, which
Mr.. Bats charged, was bought at the
excessive price of 2S5 for the stock and
bonds, the latter bearing five per cent in
terest.,
The acquisition of the Rhode Island
lines from the late Senator Aldrich and
his associates, said the attorney was
intended to prevent the building of
contemplated high speed electric line
from Boston to Providence, which would
compete with the New Haven. This line
Mr.. Bats explained, could not be built
without the consent of the Rhode Is
Rhode Island lines, which had exclusive
rights in Providence.
Although the properties in question
were incumbered with debt and unable
to pay dividend they nevertheless were
bought for 100000, he said, when ac-
tually not worth one-tenth of that |
The sum Of 100000, he said |
was put back into the treasury of the /
by the sellers, to make
il appear that it was going concern.
This 81 100000 was used up in less than
two years, he added.
Mr.. Bats said the JOY Steamship Co.
was so harassed by the New Haven that
the company realized it could not con-
tinue business. In the end, the line was
secretly taken over" by the New Ha-
ven corporation. The attorney told how
Charles S. Mellen in 1907 yainly tried to

hat the New Haven would not be prose.

Does darning payl How long does il

also that to darn and darn until there
is almost nothing but darns is wasteful

Only those who have made a care

the gravity of the situation. All down

purposes. Chaplins in both the army
and navy, representatives of various
sects, principally the Roman Catho-
lie, are paid salaries from the public
funds. Twenty-four states have
made Columbus day state holiday
in honor of the Catholic church.
Churches in most states are given a
free hand to operate without license
or interference and are exempt from
taxation.
/ Religion is taught in our schools.
Churches are operating schools, hos
pitfalls, penal institutions, laundries,
shirt and garment factories with free
help furnished by our courts, and the
state helps the game along by appro-
priating money for their upkeep.
Neither the state factory inspector
nor representatives of the courts have
authority to call on the inmates or to
inspect the institutions. Some insti-
tutions are not averse to an inspec-
ton, but the Roman Catholic institu-
tons positively refuse to allow the
state to make inspections.
Some churches have their own
laws; some have an army; some have
church fairs where gambling and raf-
fles are INDUCED in contrary to law,
liquor occasionally also being sold;
some are in the white slave business;
some are in the hotel, restaurant,
rooming house business or second
hand stores dealing in old boots,
clothing, hardware, kitchen utensils
and thousand other things too nu-
merous to mention.
Let the churches keep out of the
business world, politics, secular and
public affairs, if the republic is to
continue as founded. Now, in closing,

narrow-minded religious bigot, which
will make it unnecessary for any one

PORTLAND AGAIN is TO TRY sTEAmsHiP
 LINE TO ALASKA

Portland again is seeking to inau- gurate steamship line to Aiaaio. Twice lhe venture has failed but this time. it is reported, Rose City busi- lnessmen win make @ concerted effort to perpetuate the service.
 The Portland Telegram Of seplem. ber 17 has this to say of the proposal.
 Backed by shippers and other lead- ing business interests of the city. lnew steamer line. 1t is rumorea. is about to be established between Port land and points in Southeastern Ai- fasla. It Is stated the plans of the new company are for the inauguration of the service the latter part Of the fall or early winter. Later the steam CTS may be sent as far north as Cor. dova. Because Of railroad building the business men in thnt section of Alas lSa are looking for an unusually brisk fseason next year.
 The report has it that several yes. sells have been purchased, or the deals practically have been closed. to be placed on the run between here and southeastern Alaska. One or two of them, it is intimated. win have passenger accommodations Through out the year there Is more or less travel back and forth ao that section, while Portland merchants are sending goods up there at frequent intervals under the present handicap of ship. ping via Seattle Even by this meth od 1t is declared. they have been able to compete successfully, in measure with tho Sound merchants.
 When given assurance which will satisfy them of the permanency of the line and of it's being able to provide a regular schedule. 1t is claimed that the Alaskans will give it most liberal support. In fact it is through their efforts largely. it is held, that Q de- cision to establish the line was reach ed. since some of the business men of the north long have been dissat- isfied with the system which makes them dependent almost wholly upon  Seattle to furnish them what supplies they need.
 Just now many of the houses in the north are stocking up for the winter, Later heavy shipments will be sent to the numerous salmon cannerles, ! whose patronage alone, 1t is believed. would so a long way toward keeping the line on paying basis. Tn order to give the right sort of service itI is contended that it will be necessary to place at least three steamers on the route. As long as the run does not extend further than Southeastern l Alaska it is calculated that this num- ber of vessels would be capable of giv- ! ing weekly service

To Che new Grant has been al- loted tho difficult task of perfecting the great fleet of submarines which win serve as @ vital wing of tho pro- tective measures for the long coasts of the United States and for It's dis tant possessions and protectorates.

 The American submarine has come in for more abuse than any other arm of tho service. Many critics de- clared that Che American submarines are worthless. Capeain Grant. when he undertook his duties. inyostigat ed things generally. In his first re port. he stated that more than 80 per cent. of the difficulties experienced with the submarine was due to Che inexperience of the officers in charge of the boats, He found that tl.e boats were well built and wore turned over to the government in perfosi condition. but that those in charge were not SO familiar with their work ings as they should have been. and consequently. accidents have happen ed which have been blamed on the boats themselves.
 Ttrainlno Campaign Result
 The campaign Of training naval men in submarine warfare Is there. fore the first result of the submarine commanders work. This win mean high training for vast number of skilled mechanics. Here the school ing which Uncle Sam's navy has giv- en its men will come into great ad- vantage. and before each squadron of submarines Is launched in the f1- ture. trained men will be ready to man the undersea boats.
 Credit for the new American sub marine plan is given to Read Admir- al William S. Benosn, the new chief or naval operations. Commander Yate Sterling is assistant to Rear Admiral Grant in the big undertaking Com mander Sterling was formerly in com mand of the Atlantic submarine flo- tilla and has made a close study of the submarine and It's possibilities.
 The new rear admiral was born in Maine and appointed to the naval academy from Wisconsin. He served afloat and ashore. with high distinc- ton. and in 1908 was made chief of staff of the Atlantic fleet. He was later commander Of the League Isl- and navy yard at Philadelphia, and then served as commander of the At lantic reserve fleet. In July 1913. he was assigned to duty in connec- ton with the building of the dread naugh Texas. and commanded that ship until he was assigned to his present important duties
