NOT TO SHORTEN THE
 TEA-G@A4aasaf~DAf
Plan Abandoned by Protestant Epis-
 copai Convention.

St. Louis. Oct. 25-Efforts to short en the Ten Commandments had been abandoned at the present session of the convention of the Protestant Epis- copal church. leaders in the conclave announced today. It was said that until the next convention in 1919, at least, the Decalogue would stand in the prayer-b book in it's present form. A commission appointed to suggest methods of revision of the Book of Common Prayer favored the shorten ing of five of the Commandments by the elimination of the reasons. Mem bers of the commission said today, however, that this suggestion would not be pressed. Discussion of other phases of the proposed revision is to be resumed late today.
 In the upper house the election of missionary bishops to succeed the late Right Rev. George Biller. Jr., as bishop of South Dakota. and the Right Rev. Benjamin Brewster, transferred to the bishopric of Maine. as bishop of west ern Colorado. were on the calendar.
 At a joint session of the two houses, the domestic mission fields were dis cussed, missionaries from every sec tion of the country telling of their experiences.
 The lower house adopted the report of the joint commission on the lec- tionary.

BIDS FOR FOUR NEW
 BATTLEsHIPS OPENED
Prices Ranged From $1o,o6o,ooo to
 $11,475, 1000.

Washington, Oct. 25.-Bids for the four new battleships, Colorado, Mary land Washington and West Virginia, were opened today at the navy de- partment While all of the tenders show the heavy increase in prices due to the abnormal conditions of the ship building industry, they were within the departments limit of cost and it is virtually certain that all four ships will be awarded to private concerns and that the government itself will not construct any of these craft or of the twenty destroyers for which offers also were received.
 Prices for the battleships quoted ranged from $10,060,0O0 to $11, AYE, 900 as against the departments limit for hull and machinery of S11, 100000. A study of the bids Is now fh progress and awards will be made only after a careful review of the notifications proposed by every bidder has been made. It is believed, however, that pany, Quincy, Mass, will get two of the big ships and the Newport News Ship and Drydock Company the other two.
 None of the bidders offered figures for the steam electric drive system of propulsion preferred by the navy de- partment.
 Offers in this connection provided only for the construction of the ship, the government to supply the driving 2 machinery. For this reason quotations on electYic- drive ships were approxi- mately 500,0 900 lower than similar fig ures for all steam drive.
 Indications are that the electric drive ships will be ordered. Under the appropriation act the department has funds available to complete them under t}oday's bids.

PROMINENT DEMOCRAT
 IN HUGHES ALLIANCE. William B. Anderson, Leading Mem her Of she New York Bar.

New York, Oct 25.-William B. An derson, one of the most prominent members of the New York bar, and 2 lifelong democrat, has enrolled in the Nation Hughes alliance. In his letter joining the alliance MT. Anderson wrote that he had always voted the democratic national ticket except when Bryan ran against Mckinley He voted for Wilson in 1912. ''The conviction has been growing in me very strongly during the past year. he said, that we can no longer look for disinterestcd motives in MT Wilson's official acts, His vaciuatins, uncertain; weak Mexi- can policy, his attitude first against and then fO~, then again against hon. est preparedness, is not indicative of man of principle acting with a mind sinwIe for his country's good, but rather Of a man seeking the easiest way out Of difficulties, afraid to decide lest he might offend one body of citi- ZenS or another, a, man unable to make strong friends and yet seemingly fear ful of making enemies, always self conscious and viewing all public queS- their relation to himself And then at the last comes the crowning posi- tive proof of his weakness and self interest, his settlement, God save the mark of the railroad controversy.
 "A man wfo hands over his own property under bare threat is bad enough, but one who turns over some millions of dollars belonging to other people under like circumstances is not the type that I have learned to admire nor do I believe that any honest man even among those who benefited by his act will respect him for il. His at tempt to disguise the real nature of his act by juggling with the words eight hour day is wholly unworthy of his intellectual ability"

VILLA IN AScENDANcY
 IN NORTHERN MEXICO.
Early Withdrawal of American Troops
 is ~ut of the Question.

Washingl9n, Oct 25-Conditions in northern Mexico, revolving on the new ascendancy Of Villa as military lead CT, are commanding more attention than at any other time since the raids which resulted in the despatch of the American punitive expedition.
 Administration officials made no eff fort tonight 10 disgu uise. their opinion that the Mexican American commis- sion sitting at Atlantic City cannot be expected to arrive at a satisfactory solution of border problems until the situation In Chihuahua has been clari- lied. Any agreement for the early withdrawal of General Pershing's forces from Mexico apparently now is considered out of the question.
 Moreover, the impression stood out clearly from all the views expressed that while the present situa ton exists there is little possibility that the forces or regulars or national guardsmen on the border will be reduced. It was indicated that no chances would be taken of another raid into American territory.
 Coupled with ugly reports which disparage the stability of General Car ranza's regime and interpret hls re- moval from Mexico City to Queretaro as a sign of the breaking up process which his enemies have repeatedly predicted, the military movements of Villa, now making a formidable cam paign in Chihuahua, are regarded here as menacing the de facto governments control of the whole of the northern country.
 Prominent in the whole situation are apparently well founded but indefinite reports of the connection of the so- called Legalista movement with the whole train of events, which are ex- pected by those familiar with the Mexican situation here to develop withi ma short time

New British Loan
 of s3Oo,OOO,O
MADE BY BANKING HOUSE OF
 J. p. MORGAN & co.
BEARS 51z P. C. INTEREST
May Cause Cessation of Inflow of Gold Into This Country Which Was Endansering Imitation and Fictitious Values.

New York, Oct. 25. - Official an- nouncement was made today by J. F. Morgan and company that new Brit ish loan by American bankers, aggre- gating $500, 0,00o,000 had been arranged. It will bear interest at 1-2 per cent and is payable in two installments, one of three years and one of five years.
 Easy Money Market.
 An interesting feature of the loan is. according to the firms announcement, that, because of the easy money mar ket here, 1t was arranged in advance or the tirn9 contemplated by the Brit ish government. Another is that it IS expected to cause for time at least q cessation of the enormous in- flow of gold to this country, which is said to have caused apprehension in banking circles of late because of the danger of imitation and fictitious values.
 J. P. Morgan sailed for England re- gently to arrange for the loan and is still there.
 Favorable Time For Loan.
 "A new British government loan of- fering," says the firms statement, had not been iS contemplation at the present time, but the prevailing ease of money and the difficulty which the banks are having in prontably em- pioying their funds. have led us to in dicate to the British government that t1e present IS favorable time for 1t, establishing additional credits in America, even though such credits may not be immediately required. Accord ingiy the British treasury has today accepted the views of the American bankers and has authorized them to proceed.
 Influx of Gold Continues.
 "The British treasury has of late renewed it's shipments of gold to this 0OnntTU 9 tinued influx of the metal has caused ~pne concern in the banking commit nity and it is believed that the is suance of the proposed loan will tend to cause at least a temporary cessa- tion in gold imports"
 Final details have not yet been ar ranged, but the notes to be issued will be amply secured by high grade col lateral" The two installments will be $15O, GOO, 900 each.

TWO YOUNG WOMEN
 KILLED IN A FIRE.
Sensational Rescues Made by Police
 and Bremen in New York.

New York, Oct. 25-Two young women were killed in a four-alarm fire which wrecked a seven n-story loft and factory building in East Houston street tonight, causing property damage esti- mated at about $100,000. Several other persons who were in the building when the fire started had not been accounted for late tonight.
 Sensational rescues were made by the police and fremen of a score of men and women trapped on the roof Of the burning building. A number of persons, several of them fremen, were overcome by smoke or cut by flying glass.
 A few minutes after the apparatus reached the Houston street fire flames were seen shooting from the fifth and sixth floors of another building in Green street, four blocks away. Four alarms were again sounded and virtu- ally all the fire apparatus in the lower part of Manhattan was called out
 The streets in that section of the city are lined with factory and loft buildings, as well as tenement houses. Five years ago, within half a dozen blocks of tonight's fires, occurred the Triangle Waist company tragedy, in which 147 persons, mostly young girls, lost their lives
 According to the police, the two known victims of the Houston street fire tonight were killed in jumping from the roof of the burning building to a tenement house adjoining, a. fall of two stories. Bremen were trying to rescue them when they leaped. Two persons, one fireman, were injured in the Green street fire, but not seriously. The damage was esti- mated at $20, 900.
 Police reserves from several sta- tons were called out to keep the crowds of excited East Side residents in check. Many of them recalled the Triangle disaster and the police had difficulty in keeping them from break ing through the fire lines.
