REV. ia. ANSLEY STALL MEMBERS CREW
HEARD by MANY AT.OF SMACK CAVIAR"
list. PRESBYTERIAN SAVED FROM WRECK

Plans which had been made for
holding the first of a series of union
services, to begin at the First Rap-
fist Church last night, went awry
to some extent, and the first union
service was held at the First Pres
byterian Church. It had been an
nounced that Rev. Mr.. Moffett, the
pastor Of the First Presbyterian
Church, would preach at the First
Baptist Church, but on account Of
matters which came up at the last
moment, not only was the place of
meeting changed, but also the minis
ters, and. at the First Presbyterian
last night, Rev. Mr.. Ansley, the re-
cently-appointed pastor of the First
Baptist Church, preached.
Because of the misunderstanding
following the announcements of yes
terday, the attendance was not as
large as had been anticipated How
ever, those present listened with much
interest to an earnest discourse, on
the life and acts Of Elerod, the king,
and the request Of the woman for
the head Of John the Baptist on a
charger, from which dramatic Bibli-
cal incident many lessons applicable
to present day faults were drawn.
Many heard the newly-arrived minis
ter for the first time and were much
pleased with his preaching.
Plans for the musical program had
also been changed. Many who ex-
peeted to hear from a celebrated local
male quartette were disappointed
when such selections were not rem
dered, but Mrs. Nita Osborne Benn
and Mr.. w. S. Garfield sang several
selections which were just as pleas
ing as could have been wished.
In the conduct Of the service, Rev,
Mr.. Debardelaben, Of the Methodist
Missions, and Rey. Mr.. Moffett, OF
the First Presbyterian, assisted.
For next Sunday nights union
service, Rev. Mr.. Moffett announced
that preaching would be held at the
Fret Methodist Church, on East
Wright street, the series Of union
services to be continued through the
months Of July and August.

OFF,! ONCE
MORE THE RACES
Run At CHICAGO
spECTA1, no THE roTTRNAT..

Or ECAAL III The JOURNAL
Chicago, July 16.-Racing fans of
the whole country as well as those
Of Chicago are much interested in the
resumption of thoroughbred racing
here, which begins tomorrow at the
old Hawthorne track with a renewal
of the Famous American derby as the
feature of the opening day. 1t was
the first thoroughbred racing here
since 1904. Heartiest support has
been accorded the revival by some of
the most prominent horse lovers and
other sportsmen in the United States,
who have signified their interest by
naming some of the best horses in
the country for the derby and by en-
gaging boxes at the track. Among
the well known men interested are:
Foxall P. Keene, Valentine Crane, Jo-
seph Letter, laurence Armour, Aug
ust Belmont and T. G. Bradley.
Strict precautions to prevent open
betting at the track are taken by pro-
motors of the meet with the co-opera-
ton of the sheriff of Cook county.
The latter promises to have a force
of deputies on hand to work with a
squad of private detectives in enforc-
ing the state laws. The meet, accord
ing to the promoters, is to be an hon
est attempt to restore, racing here
without the se-called evils.
A purse Of $4,000 was hung az
for the derby. This compares not IN
favorably under the circumstances
with the old stakes, though in 1893
the value was s49,500 and that of the
last derby, in 1904, see, 325.

DECIDED UPON AT
 CABINET MEETING
President and His Advisers Believe That Congressmen Can Be Reached Better Through Constituents
 Than by Direct Appeal
By HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington, January 1S.-(Spe- cial )-The cabinet today discussed not the possible complication with Mexico or ancient troubles With best to shake the middle west and the south. from their positions of apathy It was unanimously agreed that the President should, begin ming in early February make swing around the circuit, discussing with the people the programme with which he has burdened Con gress. The theory is that represen- tatives are more certainly reached through the clamoring of their con stituents. As places in which to speak, the President tonight is considering New York, Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Toledo. Chi cago, Columbus and St. Louis, and in the south, Birmingham. While the itinerary when completed will include other southern cities, it is regarded as significant that the one at first blush settled upon was the Magic City, the metropolis of the south. It is anticipated that an- nouncement will be made in the near future of the definite plans of the chief executive.
 WILL TAKE CHARGE
 The President is planning to as- sume personal leadership in the fight for a stronger army and navy. So many reports have reached him of confusion over the issue before Con- gress, and of the uncertainty of the outcome, that he has determined not only to go before the country in pub lie addresses. but to confer further on the subject with leaders of the Senate and House.
