DETROIT, July l-'TWs conference de
clares Itself In favor ot maintaining the
historic Sabbath at a fundamental insti
tution of Judaism and of exerting every
effort to Improve Its observance and hereby
Instructs the executive committee to ap
point a apodal committee to study meth
ods of carrying this into effect."
The Central Conference of American
Rabbis placod itself on record on the Bab
bath question today, after an eight hours'
session by the adoption of the above amend
ment to the report of the Sabbath com
mittee. Officers were also elected this afternoon
and the conference adjourned sine die.
The Sabbath question was taken up after
several committee reports had been dis
posed of and a telegram sent to President
Hoosevelt congratulating him on hls de
cision to forward the resolutions of B'Nal
Il'IUlh to the cxar.
lommlttee lie port Ambiguous.
Rabbi Voorsanger of San Francisco, the
chairman of the committee. Introduced the
commission's substitute report ordered on
Wednesday. The report was as follows:
The conference is composed of rabbis
and ministers, to each of whom belongs
the duty nf shaping his religious profes
sions in accordance with his religious
opinions. In a deliberative body of such a
character there can be no unanimity of
opinion upon so Important a subject as the
Sabbath and the problems Involved In its
consideration. Yet the conference declares
with no hesitancy that Its attitude toward
the Sabbath must remain unaltered until a
stronger view than Its own shall demand a
rigid Inquiry Into the present disorder and
the incongruity presented by theoretical
professions and practical violations of the
day of rest.
This conference resolves that Sunday
aervlces having the character of a week
day service present no ritual objections
whatever, but are Justified by all ritual
precedent, dally divine services and In
struction being a part of tho religious
discipline of the Jewish people.
This conference, following Jewish prece
dent of all ages, detlnes spiritual authority
as a popular voice, Interpreting and giv
ing definite direction to the spiritual wants
of the people. This authority, to be effec
tive, must derive Its Integrity from the
divine voice that speaks through man and
as regards Its form must consist of rabbis
and laymen competent to give direction to
tha expressed needs of the people and the
changed aspects of its discipline and be
cause of their delegate power, competent
to sanction, approve and execute Its own
decrees.
This conference decides It cannot flnl
any other ethical Interpretation of Sabbath
conduct than lias hitherto prevailed.
This conference decides that a transfer
of Sabbath to Sunday, however much op
posed by sntlment, presents to the student
of history no element of danger that tho
iunnamentai irutns or me jewtan laitn
might be affected or that the solidarity of
the people of Israel might be disturbed.
At the same time this conference feels
that It hss no right to make an authori
tative decision as to the facts, but would
prefer reference of this all-Important ques
tion to an authority as heretofore defined.
Dr. Deutsch, one of the members of the
committee, submitted a minority report, in
which he disagreed with the rest of the
commission, holding that historic sentl
' ment was too strong to permit of changing
the Babbath to Sunday.
Silverman Strong;!? Opposes.
Dr. .Silverman Immediately after the re
port had been read left the chair and of
fered as a substitute the statement which
waa finally' adopted favoring the main
tenance of the historic Sabbath. He de
clared the commission's report merely
begged the question, and stated positively
that the conference must declare Itself In
unmistakable terms.
The debate continued until lunch.
After reconvening the Sabbath matter
was laid over until a number of resolu
tions and committee reports were acted on
and the election had taken place. Then Dr.
Silverman's substitute waa again called
up.
. It was then nearly B and as the Sabbath
would begin In so short a time, several of
the rabbis favorett postponing the question
until the next conference. This met heated
objections and waa voted down.
Rabbi Voorsanger passionately upheld
the commission.
"We are not afraid of the Ghetto Jews."
ha declared In ringing tones, "and we must
recognise that there are waves of thought
among Die Jewish people at present that
we must take cognizance of.
. "It will be stultification, pardon me If I
seem to use strong terms, it would be
stultification If we again declare for the
historic! Sabbath when we know that we
will not observe It."
When the vote was taken Dr. Silver
man's amendment was adopted by 23 to 9.
Further consideration of the Sabbath re
ports was postponed until next year.
The following officers were e'ected: Hon
orary president. Dr. K. Kohler of New
York, president-elect of the Hebrew Union
college at Cincinnati; president, Joseph
Krauskopf of Philadelphia; vice presidents,
Joseph Stolg of Chicago, Dr. J. Voorsanger
of Ban Francisco; treasurer, Charles Levi,
Peoria, 111.; secretary, H. W. Rosevau of
Baltimore; recording secretary, Adolph
Outtmaker of Baltimore.
Give Thank for KlsblneS retltLca.
Before the Sabbath debate waa taken up
the following telegram was sent to Presi
dent Roosevelt:
To President Theodore Roosevelt, Oyster
Bsy: The Central Conference of American
Rabbis, in convention assembled, begs to
express to you its unbounded admiration
of the manly, courageous and truly Ameri
can attitude you have adopted In regurd to
the petition of the Jewish people of the
Vnlted States on behalf of their unfor
tunate coreligionists to hta majesty, the
Osar of Russia.
The conference In which the spiritual
leadership of American Israel Is vested,
feels extremely proud of that American
cltlsenshlp which makes it possible for the
chief magistrate of our country to pursue
a diplomatic course of action which while
observant of the rules of country due
friendly powers, la firm in its insistence on
high ideals of fairness and Justness with
out regard to race, color or creed. The con
ference sends you Its greeting and lnvckes
divine blessing on your administration.
Different plana for the organization of a
synod for the reformed Jewish church hsd
been presented to the conference by Dr.
Silverman, Dr. Voorsanger and Dr. Mar
golis, and today the conference referred all
thres to a special committee to report next
year.
The'recommendatlon of Dr. Margolis for
a creed for the Jewish church was again
dtsoutsed at some length and finally re
ferred to a committee of ven, which will
report to the next conference.
The report of the committee on "Rela
tion of Rabbi to Congregation," which rec
ommended, among other things, that the
rabbi be made an honorary member of
the board of trustees, was adopted.

PROTEST AT JJCE LYNCH
Afre-American Counoil Eeoitei Baca
Wrong In Manifesto to Public
MCBJ PAY SMALL OFFENCES WITH DEATH
Kamber of Victims Said to Be De
creasing, Though More and More
Insignificant Crimes Serve as
liicmt for Violence.
LOUISVILLE, Ky.. July S.-The closing
session of the Afro-American council was
marked chiefly by the presentation of res
olutions embodying a manifesto to the
public on the race problem. The address
on tha whole Is temperate In tone. After
its adoption the convention adjourned sine
die.
The address is In part as follows:
We recognise with pleasure tha friendly
relations that have all' along existed be
tween the-best people of the white race
and our own, and we sincerely desire that
nothing may be permitted to mar these re
lations. Still we are confident that no ono
who notes carefully the signs of the times
can fall to observe that there are Influences
at work In nearly every part of the land
to accomplish this very end. Who can fall
to see that the negro Is being held up to
public gaze as an objectionable and unde
sirable citizen? The Ignorant, vicious and
criminal class are pointed to as the typei
and products of the race rather than those
who are the output of the negro's best
endeavor for race development and upllli-
ment. e declare this standard of me in
urement to bo unfair to any people. . ,
Lynch Mobs Less Sanenmlsh.
Aa tif mob violence, it Is gratifying to
note that for the past year or two the
number of victims shows a decided de
crease, and while all these were not mem
bers of our race the vast majority wera.
but notwithstanding this, we should not
feel called upon to discuss the matter were
It not that while the number of victims
Is decreasing mobs seize upon more and
more Insignificant offences as a cause. It Is
not an unusual thing to read these days
of negroes being lynched for Impudence,
refusing to obey, striking a while man,
etc.
Now we submit thati lynching for any
cause Is destructive of law, la demoraliz
ing. But to subject persons accuxe 1 of,
even guilty, of such trivial offenses as we
have Indicated, to unlawful punishment
and death Is to mnke the negro the marked
man of the nation, and for him to Buffer
violence for audi causes will eventually
Involve many of our best people. Even us
It Is In some sections of the country It
means death for a negro to attempt to
protect the female of his family. We ask
In all clncerlty, Is . this. American? Is it
right? Such conditions Indicate clearly a
tendency to anarchy, and anarchy for the
negro wltr terminate In anarchy lor all
men.
Asaanlts Not Defended.
The number of those of our race who
are now accused of the nameless crime
against woman is so small as compared
with the whole number that It Is scarcely
necessary to discuss this as a distinct
crime. Yet we desire to say that we make
no plea for any man who may be proved
guilty of this crime; our plea is for law
and for the protection of the Innocent.
It Is now evident that those who first
started in to disfranchise the Ignorant
negro have broadened their purpose so as
to Include all blacks. In certain of the
states this result has already been achieved
and thousands of uualtlled men are denied
fosltlvely and absolutely the right to vote,
n such states taxation without represen
tation prevails as truly as ever it did
when England held control over the' Amer
ican colonies We mnke no objection to the
disfranchisement of the ignorant negro
provided the same class of the other race
is similarly dealt with. Our contention is
not for special, but equal privileges.

COTTON BELOW THE AVERAGE
Government Crop Report, However,
Throws the Bulla Into
state of Panic.
WASHINGTON. July l.-The monthly re-
port of the chief of the bureau of statistics
of the Department of Agriculture will show
the average condition of cotton, June 25,
to have been 77.1, aa compared with 74.1
on May 6, 1903, 84.7 on June 25, 1902, 81.1 on
June 25, 1901, and a ten-year average ot
83.4.
NEW YORK, July S.-The receipt of the
government cotton report on the cotton ex
change today waa followed by an outburst
of excitement and selling by disappointed
longs, who had been figuring on a condition
of about 75.
This had comparatively alight effect on
price. Beptember and October were chief
month Influence. Just before the report
waa read September sold at 11.52c. The first
sale after that was 11. 16c, and then It
dioped point by point to ll.S7c. ' October
had aold to 11.36o Just before noon and
dropped down to lO.fDc.
The late months, however, were fairly
steady, while August and July, the op
tions properly believed to be controlled by
the pool of bulls, were neglected.

DUE PROCESS OF LAW
object of an 'Address Before
Georgia liar Asso
ciation. the
TALLULAH FALLS. Oa., July 8-Th
members of the Georgia State Bir associa
tion today listened to an address on "Due
Process of Law" by Chief Justice Alton B.
Parker of the New York state court Of
appeals.
In conclusion he referred to the four
teenth amendment" as follows:
More and more every year Is due process
of law Invoked by ronton of its place in
the fourteenth smendment to challenge
the action of. state governments, and the
time cannot be predicted when such efforts
will cease.
It may be safely ntserted that th re
straining, power of the fourteenth amend
ment, as against the states, will be exer
cised far more sonservatlvely by that
court of Which' very, citizen Is Justly
proud, than it woiivl Be were the exercise
of Its effect confined iJ the other depart
ments of the national government.
I feel warranted In saying that valuable
beyond comparison as has been the serv
ice of the supreme court of the United
States to the people, It never has been
charged with a greater responsibility than
that placed upon It by the adoption of the
fourteenth amendment a responsibility to
the meeting of which Its individual mem
bers have practically devoted their
supromest energies, great abilities and
broad scholarship, keeping ever In mind
as appear from the. many opinions written
tho danger expressed by Mr. Justice
Miller of so far extending the fourteenth
amc-ndment as to "fetter and degrade the
stute governments."

Death.
FITTSBURO, July S.-The Inquest on the
late recorder, I. O. Brown, was resumed
today, when Miss Susie Mclean, a member
of the family with whom Mr. Hrown
boarded and in whose home he died, was
called to the stand. 4
She said Mr. Brown was decldely 111 on
March 13. After breakfast he lay down,
and when she trlod she could nut wake
him. She telephoned Dr. MeKelvey and
told hlni that Mr. Hrown was lying in a
stupor as a result of the trlonal powders.
The doctor replied: "There's nothing to
do but let him sleep It oft. Take all the
powders and medicine and his revolver
out of his room." V
When she found the box that had con
tained the trlonal powders It was empty;
it had contained fifteen powders.
Dr. MeKelvey called the next day and
gave Instructions that Mr. Brown was not
to be left alone at any time. Some time
later Mr. Brown sent her sister for a
baked apple and asked her to go to the
cellar after llthia water.
Ilattles with Brown for Poison.
Witness would not leave tho room, but
finally Mr. Brown induced her to do so.
She went Into the hall and watched him.
He went to a drawer and took out a small
box. Witness rushed In and after a strug
gle In which he displayed unusual strength
got the box from him. She noticed the
word "Cyanide" on It.
Miss McLean vividly described Mr.
Brown's apparent efforts to end his life.
He tried all manner of tricks to get her
out of the room and onco when she pre
tended to withdraw he went straight to
the place where his revolver had been
kept. Later he was permitted to go into
another room where a revolver had ol'O
been kept and also searched there for a
pistol.
On Sunday he was so much better his
keys were given to him and he was left
alone1 at times.
Witness gave htm his last dose of medi
cine at 2:15 on Sunday afternoon. He was
seemingly recovering then, but about 3
he fell into a stupor and died at 4.
The coroner asked If Mr. Brown had
talked about going back to his wife.
"About two or three weeks before he
died," replied the girl, "I heard him say
