Speech of Executive Referring to Ex

WASHINGTON. SUy 17. Washington

today some references mads by President
Taft in a speech at the Jewih temple last
nlKht "to small-headed men" In prominent
clubs who display their "greatness" b
blackballing men of Importance proposed j
TheTe m"n reference, were taken to !
apply directly to the recent exclusion from
a club In this city of a prominent New I
York congressman and several newlv
elected senators. The congressman in
question la a particular friend of the presi
dent. In his speech the president tald:
"I believe and am proud of the fact that
the Jews In America enloy an equality that
they have in only a few other countries of
the world. I don't mean to say that there
are not racial prejudices hare; I don't
mean to say that the small-headed men
who occasionally get Into directory, mani-
te at their greatness by using a black ball j
and shutting out men of Importance in I
the country. But, my friends, while It Is I
arBravatlng and exasperating, still It Is
not the worst thing that could happen. I
have had It happen to friends of mlne-
I Gentiles who have been kept out of clubs
lb' K'oiAe who are not worthy to button
their shoes, and who have no standing
save In clubs.
"It Is aggravating, I agree, but a man
Is what he Is by reason of his respect for
himself, and If he knows that some one
who affects to snub him and look down on
him Is not worthy, he will have the advan
tage over his small-brained and narrow
minded critic always."
it became known today that Brigadier
General Clarence R. Edwards of the bureau
of insular affairs, an intimate friend of
President Taft; Lieutenant Colonel Charles
L McCawley of the marine corps, formerly
a White House aide, and Captain T. M.
Pott of the navy have resigned their offi

Colonel McCawley was secretary of the

Packers Plead Rule
of Reason in Motion
to Reopen the Case
Supreme Court's Decision JThat Word
"Unreasonable" Must Be Read Into
Sherman Act Gives Excuse. ,
CHICAGO, Mar 17- Judge George A.
Carpenter in the United States district
court today refused to hear oral argument
from at torn era tor. the. indicted' Chicago
meat, packers -on their plea, for a hearing
on the demurrers Judge Carpenter over
ruled May 11 He gave them a week to
til.) briefs.
The formal motion filed yesterday was
not amplified in . any way In view of
Judgo Carpenter's ruling and nothing fur
ther In the way of outlining their course
wUl be presented by the packers until the
briefs are filed.
On the grounds that the federal supreme
court's Standard Oil decision overrules
United States Diet riot Judge Carpenter's
decision of May 11 in the beef packers'
oase here, attorneys for the packers yes
terday filed a motion for permission to ap
pear and re-argue the demurrers which
Judge Carpenter overruled.
The whole matter again is hung on the
question of what is "reasonable" and what
Is "unreasonable" restraint of trade. It
was the "supreme court's dictum that in
effect the word "unreasonable" must be
read Into the Sherman anti-trust law, which
gave the beef attorneys their excuse for
request to reopen the demurrer argument.
The attorneys included that argument
when they presented their demurrers, in
what they claim Is almost the Identical
language of the supreme court's Standard
Oil decision, but the court held against
this reasoning. They now appear to ask
the court to admit It erred, in the light
of such application to the oase as the oil
decision may have. .

MORAL EDUCAUOI FOR YOUTHS
Thinks that More Kelialon boald Be
Taught In the Public Brhools,
Which, He Says, Are Defi
cient la the Matter.
Congratulations (or the clergy and laity
of the diocese of Nebraska for the work
of the last ear and a pl-a for better at
tention to religions and morality of educa
tlon were the most important themes of
the annual address delivered by the Right
Rev. A. L. Williams, bishop of Nebraska.,
to the assembly of tne Forty-fourth council
of 1 Is diocese yesterday afternoon.
The council meeting opened at Trinity
cathtorai with the ordination service of
Rev. Lverett A. Moore of Lewttt, who was
advanced to priesthood. Bishop Williams
conducted the ordination and was aesuiUd
by Rer. John Albert Williams as chaplain.
The ordination sermon was by Kev. W. A.
Mulligan, rector of Christ church. Beat
rice. Others who assisted were Kev. W. H.
Moor, diocesan secretary, who presented
the candidate; Kev. U. J. Mackay, rector
of All baints', who read the litany, and
Rev. Canon 'J'yler, wno read the biddrn
prayers.
At the close of the service the clergy
and the laity proceeded to the Gardner
Jacobs memorial parish house, which was
opened and dedicated by the bishop with
a service of benediction and blessing. The
council then organised and re-elected Rev.
W. H. Moor as diocesan secretary and Rev.
John Albert Williams assistant beuretaiy.
Luncheon was served In the parish house
by the women's auxiliary of All Saints'
church.
The bishop's address was delivered at the
convening after lunclieun preceding the
routine business of tiie council.
Religious Kdncatlon.
In regard to religious education the
bishop said:
"It needs no argument to show that tew
things aifecling the very safety of the
home life is so necessary for the child as
an education which Includes religion as a
part of its curriculum. As a true historic
branch of the Catholic church we stand
committed to the proposition that the bap
tised child la to. be taught the Lord's
prayer, the Cathotlo creeds and the Ten
tCooutitwiBteita. and also aa .other, things
which he tight tor Know and believs to
his soul's health. We believe that the
highest and best type of Christian cltlsen
snlp is to be found In those who in infancy
were made 'members of Christ' in baptism,
and whose training In the definite nrlnol
plea of revealed religion has been contin
uous and progressive from childhood up
to maturity.
"Every child should be taught that there
re thee institutions established by Al
mighty God as a means of moulding its
character and fitting It for life's duties
and responsibilities ths family, the state
and the church.
Secular education is reaching more cf
the youth of our land year by year than at
sny time in our history, but It is an educa
tion that Is Godless. The only moral in
fluence in our public schools today (and
thank God it Is not a negligible quantity).
Is the moral Influence and example of the
teachers. But for that it Is to be feared
that moral conditions would be far worse
than they are-"
Lk of 31 oral Teaching;.
Bishop Williams asked that the matter
be referred for investigation to see If
legislative methods could not remedy the
lack of direct moral teschlng In the schools.
The prosperity and . material advance
ment of the church were also discussed by
the bishop. He told of the legacies left by
the will of the late Mrs. Worthlngton,
wife of the former bishop, which Include a
number of bequests to Brownell Hsll,
Clarkson Memorial hospital and the funds
for the aged and Infirm clergy. Scholar
ship funds were also established for Hobart
college and the General Theological semi
nary.
The diocese was congratulated by the

NEBRASKA MM GET PLACE
Consideration of Scott Resolution Put
Off Indefinitely.
FIELD OPEN FOR THIS STATE
Nebraska Delegation, U it Agrees
Upon Man, May Name Successor
to Captnln H. E.
rainier.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON. May 17. (Special Tele
gram.) Senator Warren several weeks ago
presented a Joint resolution to the senate
naming ex-6tnator Nathan B. Scott of
West Virginia to fill the vacancy on the
board" of managers of soldiers' homes cre
eated by the death of Captain Henry E.
Palmer of Omaha. Senator Brown hap-
nened to be out of the chamber at the
time the resolution was presented, but upon
Uon end postponing action.
Today he called up the resolution atvl
succeeded - in postponing Its consideration
Indefinitely which amounts practically to
killing the resolution.
.This leaves the field open for a Ne
braskan In all probability. If the delegation
can get together on a man.
In the event Nebraska cannot agree the
South Dakota delegation will endeavor to
secure the place, in view of the location
of the Battle Mountain sanitarium at Hot
Springs. In that state, and which wa really
a child of Captain Palmer.
There Is an Interesting story in connec
tion with the nomination of ex-Senator
Scott to the vacancy, rumor having It
that the president asked Senator Warren
to bring about the selection of Scott, If
possible.
The action of the senate, however today
would seem to Indicate that Senator Scott
Is wholly out of It.
Roads Do Not Have to
Counteract Results of
Natural Conditions
Exhaustion of Local Supply of Raw
Material Not Reason for Reduction
of Charges from Other Points.
WASHINGTON, May 17 The Interstate
Commerce commission held "that no legal
obligation rests upen an Interstate carrier
to counteract the result of natural condi
tions by a reduction of Its freight rates."
The National Peflnlng company, an In
dependent oil producing concern of Ohio,
c I.rralis a refinery at Flndlay, O. The ex
haustion of supply of crude petroleum near
Flndlay induced It to develop oil wells at
Flatrork, 111. The crude oil Is shipped from
Flatrock to Flndlay at a rate of 13Vi cents
a hundred pounds which the refining com
pany urged Is excessive. In holding that
the rate was reasonable, the commission
ssys that "the exhaustion of the supply of
raw material near at hand must sooner or
later be experienced by every manutactur
lng enterprise of this nature."
Saturday efterncrns, when allowed as
business half holidays, must be considered
