COUNCIL MEETS AT NEW HAVEN
Speaker Takes Up "Language of
Gutter and Antics of Circns"
in Pulpit
WHAT CANNOT BE OVERLOOKED
NEW HAVEN, Conn., Oct. 10.
The national council of Congrega
tional churches began Its Iorty-first
biennial session In historic Center
chnrch this afternoon, devoting Its
first Bitting to election of officers,
reception of reports and preparation
for consideration of denominational
matters.
Henry M. Beardsley of Kansas
City, Mo., u chosen moderator In
succession to Dean Charles R. Brown
of the 'tale school of religion. Rev,
Dr. William Horace Day of Los An
geles was chosen first assistant mod
erator and Rev. Dr. Alfred Lawless,
- Jr., of New Orleans second assistant
moderator. The council received an
; Invitation from the Congregational
churches of Los Angeles to coma to
that city for the meeting in 1917.
The delegate body wis probably the
largest In the history of the council when
Ptu Brown called the gathering to or
der. -
Refers o War.
Dean Brown, the retiring moderator,
referred to the "direful fact that the
world Is at war" in his address.
"We are met at a great crisis in the
moral history of the race," said Mr.
Brown. "The spiritual force of that
European civilisation to which we owe
so much seems for the hour to have
broken down.
"In the face of this disaster It Is for
churches to mobilise their spiritual forces
anew and to bear themselves toward the
warring nations, towards China and
. Japan In such a way that this land will
be a Messianic nation."
Dean Brown said that work of evan
gelism, at home is urgent. "We have seen
paams of evangelistic efforts In certain
cities." he said. "The. introduction of
the language et the gutter and the' antics
of the circus in the pulpit may be over
. looked, for -the .mil -of 4hereater good
"but' irreverence, blasphemy, the teaching
of immoral idee and un scriptural con
ceptions ef religion are harmful and can
not be overlooked. " . ,
- Opaortaaltleo Great.
"ThS present opportunity of the minis
try never was So great. War with all Jte
burden should bring a new and more ef
feotive lineup Of Christian forces. The
march of progress was too much for
Philip XI. of Spain; it waa too much for
Napoleon, and it will be too much for
(William IL of Potsdam." -
President M. I Burton of Smith col
lege presented the name of Mr. Beards
ley for modeato; Rev. Ft O. Smith of
Kansas City and Kev. Dr. J. E. Kirby
of Pec Moinee seconding It.
Baeiness Committee Chosea.

Day himself rose, however, to say that

Changed to the afternoon It was not
that they did not approve of "Billy"
Sunday. That was not It at all. They
simply did not want to break up their

to "Billy" and "Ma." ?
"Billy's" theme was the wonderful
things about Christ, which, he said,
were in themselves proof of Ills di
vinity. !
There wasn't much slang, but
"Billy" gave the audience a thrill or
two as, for Instance, when' he sud
denly exclaimed:
"You've got a fe wlntcllectual mutt
In Omaha that are shocked at m ypreach
lug. Oo to the devil 1 If I lived here I'd
keep my hen roosts locked."
8 peaking of Christ's preaching for ths
common people, he said:
"They didn't need to lug around a die
tlonary to find out what He meant. H
put th Jam nd cookie on the lower
helf where everybody could get them."

YOUNG COUPLE MABBIED A TEAS
B. George Shirley, aged 17 years,
and his young wife, Edith, aged 14
years, were found dead in bed, as tbe
result ot suffocation, Wednesday aft
ernoon la their home, 1558 Dodge
street.
Robert Shirley, a brother, receiv
ing no response at the door, pried
open a window in their bedroom and
discovered tbe lifeless bodies. Since
Monday evening relatives and friends
had repeatedly called the house by
pbone but to no avail. Yesterday
afternoon officers of the Omaha
Crockery company, where Shirley
was employed, notified relatives of
Shirley's absence. 4
According to Coroner Crosby, the gas-
heater under the water tank In the base
ment, was left burning, and all of the
oxygen In the house was burned up.
Suffocation was th result. Death, which
waa apparently accidental, evidently oc
curred some time between Monday night
and Wednesday noon. A coord lug to
pollc officer th house ,u so filled
with fumes that it was with difficulty
they managed to throw open h win
dow and doors to air ths place. Shirley
was last seen Monday night, when he
rode home with H. C, Forester, treas
urer of the Omaha Crockery .company.
Fame Fill C losed Hoaso.
Th gaa burner was not connected to
a chimney, and the fume quickly filled
thd closed house, is the belief of th
coroner.
Th Shirley wer married a year ago
last June, 'and formerly lived at th
Stratford Terrace apartments, moving
to th Dodge street residence about a
month ago.
Michael phirley, father of th dead
man, of the firm" or oniney raeian,

who lives In - Sacramento. Cat., has been
notified. The dead man ha a brother.
Phelan Shirley, who live at Albion.

Two year ago a similar happening oc
curred at the horns of Harry R. Bowen,
manager of the Central Furniture com
pany, but fortunately for Mr. Bowen and
his wife and child, several windows in
the bouse wer open, a It waa a warm
fall vening, and th family was awak

Former President of Road Cordially
Greeted by Men Against Whom

THESE IS MUCH HANDSHAKING
Gives Hit Occupation as a "Farmer"
and Tells of Railroad
Experience.
GOES FULLY INTO DETAILS
NEW YORK, Oct. 10. Charles S.
Mellen, one-time president of the
New York, New Haven & Hartford
railroad, testified as a government
witness today against the eleven men
with whom he was formerly, assocl
ated on the road's board of directors,
whose trial on the charge of violating
the Sherman anti-trust law began one
week ago.
Standing before a government
map of the New England railroad
system with a long pointer in his
hand, Mr. Mellen spent two hours ex
plaining the nature ot the competl
tive railroad conditions twenty-five
years ago, when the New Haven's al
leged conspiracy to control the entire
transportation traffic ot the six
states began.
Cordially Greeted.
The former New Haven president was
greeted with every evidence of cor
diality by the defendants and there were
numerous handshakings. William Rocke
feller was among several of th defend
ants who stepped forward to oonvera
with him.
Mr. Mellen gav his occupation as "a
farmer an1 agriculturist." He told of his
railroad' experience, which dated back
to IMS, when he waa a clerk in th
cashier's office of ths Northern Railroad
of New Hampshite. Then he trsced on
the map the routes of the dosen New
England railroads which in WO bad an
Independent existence.
He described their steamboat tin con
nection with New York and other point
and their rail connections with other
roads outside of New England. The Naw
Haven at that tlm waa not much of a
freight line. The Old Colony, with its
steamboat lines from tall River and
New Bedford to Now Tork, was getting
the major share of the traffic The New
Haven's chief strategical advantag at
th tlm, th wttn Indicated, was In
passenger traftio, enti ef th other
roads eould maintain tlirnugh passenger
service to Nw TprKTelctbl"a,fr the
New iisvsn trseki.' '
is. Lively ComaetKioa.
All th roads mslhtalned their freight
connections to point outside of Nsw
England through' traffic arrangements
with -outside lines,' Mr. Mellen explained,
and contributed pro rata to the expenses
of about a score ef freight soliciting or
ganlaations which routed through traffic
over the various connecting lines. These
various ' through routes were in lively
competition, Mr, Mellen said.
; Th witness was still in th midst of
hi testimony when adjournment . a
taken until tomorrow. - When - completed
th government expects to use it as
basis upon which to build up the story of
the gradual acquisition ot the lines by
the New Haven, with which Mr. Mellen
became connected a vie president In
1881.
