NO OLD-STYLED AUDITORIUM
New Fashioned Hall Will Be Feature
of loans; Men's Christian At
aoclntlon flnllrtlnff.
There will not he an auditorium In the
new Young Men's Christian Association
building, at least nothing which conforms
to the general acceptance of that term.
This does not mean there will be no place
where large meetings can be hfld, for the
plans are iulte to the contrary, but It
means the old style auditorium In associ
ation buildings is out of date and Is giving
way to halls, which are of greater general
utility.
Although the architect's plans have not
yet been laid before the building committee
of the association board of directors. It
is understood there Is to be an assembly
hnll which will at from XI to 600 persons.
This will be large enough for all ordinary
occasion. For meetings of large magni
tude, the gymnasium, which as now planned
will aeat 1.E00 people, will be used. These
figures Include the capacity of the gallery,
built similar to the old structure.
"The regular old style auditorium Is
rapidly being done away with In the con
struction of association buildings," said
B. C. Wade, the Omaha general secretary.
"Space Is too precious to permit us to build
anything with a sloped floor and two gal
leries. In a recent trip to the east I made
a study of the auditorium subject and
found that In all the cities where building
are being erected by the associations, they
are being made with assembly rooms. At
Dayton, O., where they are putting up a
building, which has been talked of for tlve
years, they have changed from the original
plan of having an auditorium which will
seat S.000 people and are now well content
with an assembly room which will seat 8'X.
The old style auditorium can be used only
for meetings; our assembly room and our
gymnasium can be used for any number of
purposes."
W INONA LAKE. Ind.. May 26.-Both ses
sions of the general assembly of the
rresbyterian church were devoted almost
entirely to discussion of the committee on
forms cf service and the committee on
temperance.
For three hours the report on forms and
service was debated by at least 100 speak
ers, chief among which were Dr. Henry
Van Dyke, clmlrman of the committee
and author of "The Book of Prayers," and
Justice Harlan of the United States su
preme court. The debate was about equally
divided, with the result that the report,
together with ;'The Book of Prayers."
which, It was suggested, should be adopted
by the general ussembly as a part of a
llxed form of service, was referred to an
enlarged committee. Resolutions adopted
in conjunction witti the debate on the
report provided:
in caae the enlarged committee reaches
a detinue and satisfactory completion of
Its work during the present year, we au
thorize the publication of the book of
worship by the Hoars of Publication and
Sunday School Work, In order that the
churches nny have the opportunity to con
sider and test the Uiok of forms and pray
ers, and the committee is to make its final
report to the next general assembly.
Vigorous Temperance Debate.
The assembly closed late In the afternoon
with a vigorous debate over the resolutions
offered by the temperance committee. The
debate was precipitated by Rev. Alfoid
Kelley of Frazer, Pa., who declared that
there Is one Presbyterian university which
permits Us students to buy intoxicating
liquors from a resort near the campus. He
asked the assembly to pass a resolution
which would stop the practice. When a
commissioner asked that the university bo
named on the floor of the assembly he was
ansv.-ered by cries of "No!" and during
the debute the name of the school was not
spoken.
Before adjournment the assembly passed
a resolution censuring the management of
any college or university permitting the
students to drink intoxicating liquors. The
use of tobacco and the manufacture and
sale of cigarettes was condemned.
The assembly has heard all reports ex
cept that of the committee on narrative
which comes up tomorrow. Rev. W. II
Roberts, stated clerk, declared today that
the assembly will complete its work about
1 p. m.
The moderator today named the follow
ing committee to confer with the Washing
ton presbytery relative to Justice Harlan's
project for a central church at the na
tional capital:
Justice Harlan, Rev. Dr. Francis L. Pat-
ton, president of Princeton Theological
seminary; former Moderator Dr. Henry C.
Mlnton of Newark, N. J.; Rev. Dr. John
B. Shaw of Chicago, John S. Kennedy of
New York and John H. Converse of Phil
adelphla. .
Discussion on Prayer Book.
Whether the general assembly should
depart from the laws and traditions of
the church in America and adopt a form
of worship, even to the extent of saying
the churches might use this form or not, as
they like, was the particular question
which came before the general assembly
today. That many speakers would take
the floor both, for and against the propo
sition was indicated when the time for the
report from the special committee on
forms of services arrived and the stated
clerk cleared the way so that the speakers
could use most of the day. The report of
the committee on forms of service was then
rea .
Dr. Henry Van Dyke, chairman of the
committee, came Wednesday to do some
active campaigning in favor of the report
and he led the forces in favor of it on the
floor
The form of worship which the com
mits offered was regarded as mild In
tone and the opposition made its objection
on the general ground that the Presbyterian
church is not a denomination for rituals,
printed prayers and fixed forms. Many of
the commissioners objected to the Van
Dyke effort for the reason that if it were
approved by the general assembly It might
also asked for an enlarged committee.
Under his motion the prayer book would
have to pass many preabyteries before It
gets to the assembly at Pes Moines next
Mar. The motion committed the assembly
to give Its approval to the work of the
enlarged committee and brought a half
doien men to the floor Jo object to giving
this approvnl. Again the form of servlc
for Infant baptism In the committee re
port was assailed. After discussion for an
hour and a half there were shouts of
Question." Then came a tangle as to
what the real question was, and the way
was cleared to vote on Dr. McAfee's mo
tion. On motion the question was post
poned till the afternoon session.
Southerners Vote Against Union.
FORT WORTH, Tex.. May 26. This after
noon, by a vote of M to 82, the general as
sembly of the Southern Presbyterian church
decided to accept the recommendation of
the committee on federation that the com
mittee be continued for another conference
with other branches of the Presbyterian
church. The committee Is Instructed to
make Its report one year hence at the meet
ing of the general assembly in Greenville,
N. C.
The committee Is to be Increased by one
member from each synod not now repre
sented. It is believed that If a conserva
tive rlan for closer co-operation Is submit
ted the assembly will adopt it.
The sentiment developed during the de
bate by leaders of the church Indicates a
strong opposition to any sort of union with
other bodies.
Lutheran Women In Session.
SPRINGFIELD, O.. May 24. The Wom
en's Home and Foreign Missionary society
of the Lutheran church decided today to
hold the next convention In St. Matthew's
church, Philadelphia. Among the officers
chosen was Mrs. W. YT. Witmer of Des
Moines, elected vice president.
CHOPPING A MAN DOWN
Sport of Woodsmen Who Desire to
Test the Staying Qualities
of a Tenderfoot.
There Is nothing that so cheers the heart
of the lumberman as to play a practical
Joke on one whom he clls a "greenhorn,"
or. In other words, any one unused to the
ways of a lumber camp. One of the hardest
and most dangerous, although It Is the
mot admired, writes Charles G. D. Rob
erts In "Around the Campflre," Is that
known ns "chopping him down."
This means, In a word, that the stranger
In camp Is incited to climb a tall tree to
take observations or enjoy a remarkable
view. No sooner has he reached the top
than two or three vigorous axemen attack
the tree at Its base. Long before he can
reach the ground the tree begins to topple.
As a general rule the heavy branches so
break the fall of the tree that the victim
finds himself uninjured. There are cases,
however, where men have been crippled
for life.
Mr. Roberts gives an experience of his
own which did not come out exactly as tha
lumbermen expected. He had climbed into
a magnificent pine tree one day. No sooner
was he two-thirds up the tree than .the
lumbermen set to work to "chop him
down."
"I thanked them for their attention," he
writes, "and climbed a few feet father
CUBAN MINISTER TO THE UNITED STATES
RECOMMENDS PE-RU-NA FOR CATARRH.
Senor Quesado, Cuban minister to the Vnlted States, Is an orator born. In an
article In The Outlook for July. 1839, George Kennan, who heard Quesada speak at the
Esteban theater, Matanzas. Cuba, said: "I have seen many audiences under the spell
of eloquent speech and In the grip of strong emotional excitement; but I have rarely
witnessed such a scene as at the close of Quesada's eulogy upon the dead patriot,
Marti." In a letter to The Poruna Drug Manufacturing Company, written from
Washington, D. C, Senor Quesada says:
"Peruna I can recommend as a very good medicine. It
is an excellent strengthening tonic, and it is also an effica
cious cure for the almost universal complaint of catarrh."
Gonzalo De Quesada.
Catarrh Attack. Various Organ.,
The catarrh of the tropics is different
from the catarrh of the northern coun
tries. Not different in nature, but different In
its point of attack upon the human body.
Tropical Catarrh.
Tropical catarrh is mostly catarrh of the
stomach, catarrh of the liver, catarrh of
the bowels and pelvic catarrh.
These forms of catarrh constitute the
greatest objection to tropical climates.
Pe-ro-na, Safeguard.
Senor Quesada. who had spent tha most
of his time In the tropics, has learned to
regard Peruna as a safe-guard against
tropical catarrh.
His opinion of Feruna Is given In no un

CINCINNATI. O., May 26. The celebra
tion of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the
Cincinnati Commercial club closed tonight
with a banquet, at which the speakers
discussed questions of the day. The cities
represented at the banquet were: Iioston,
Chicago, St. Louis and Cincinnati. Secre
tary of War Taft made the principal speech
of the evening. The other speakers were:
President Lucius Tuttle of the Boston &
Maine railway, Franklin MacVeagh of Chi
cago, Robert Moore of St Louis, an en
gineer, and Melville E. Ingalls of Cincin
nati, president of the Bie Four railroad.
President Voorheis of the local Commercial

He said the report of the committee is

prayer of Presbyterian doctrine. He took
up parts of the committee's report for dis
cussion and frequently urged that the form

Dr. Van Dyke said he would not con
sent for the assembly to adopt this form
of service which the committee offered.
but he wanted the assembly to give Its
approval. He said someone had called these
prepared prayers "canned prayers," but for
two years he had toiled on these prayers.
Tears came Into - his eyes when he said
he had In these two years gone to the
mercy seat of God.
Active Opposition Begins,
A motion by a commissioner to approve
the report started the opposition. There
was a motion to reject the report and dls
miss the committee. Another commissioner
moved that the words, "Holy Ghost," used
throughout the book of prayers be changed
to "Holy Spirit." Three or four commis
sioners were on the floor at one time to
get permission to speak. Speeches were
limited to five minutes. James 11. Wiley
of Minneapolis was the first speaker for
the opposition. He said the committee ap
pointed by the Los Angeles assembly had
overstepped the bounds of Its authority.
There was a storm of applause when
carry out the rule that applies. That law
requires that prices ana quality oeing me
same, we must buy American goods. In
the absence of a rule we feel bound by
our trust to build as cheaply as possible.
We submitted the question to congress on
this line, asking congress to lay down
a rule. If there ls no rule we must build
as a business man would build. Now there
ls no question of protection t-r free trade.
It ls merely our duty under the law as it
stands. If the rule or law is changed
then we must change.
He spoke of the work of the commis
sioners on the canal and praised highly
the men who have been put at the head of
the work. He then spoke of the relation
of the government to the railroads. He
said:
I cannot but think the discussion which
ls now going on has had a much wider
scope than is necessary. The question ls
tne passage or certain legislation anu tne
discussion ls properly narrowed by con
sideration of what that legislation is.
He explained the present statute on the
Interstate commission, calling attention
to its reference to "unreasonable rates"
and the position of the Interstate commis
sion on the matter. He Insisted that the
measure proposed was a very moderate
measure and that tt was unfair to de
nounce it so severely as had been done.
He believed the changes proposed by the
Esch-Townsend bill would result in good.
KoTernment and Rallwaya,
President Lucius Tuttle of the Boifton &
Maine railway, spoke of "the relation of
the national government to the railways."
He said in part:
In attempting to speak from the railroads'
side of this controversy It may be said:
As to Irregular practices on the part of
the railroads and their customers In the
matter of special favors, private car con
tracts, secret tariff, rebates, etc., of which
doubtless there were in the past too many
instances, they were largely matters of
usage growing out of. and inseparable from,
the marvelous commercial activity and ex
pansion of the latter half of the last cen
tury, and were a natural outcome of the
competition that followed the rapid con
struction and extension of new lines of
railroad, and they have had their exact
counterpart in every branch of commercial
and business life. But from careful and
extended Inquiry I believe that whatever
of these abuses there were, have been so
disposed of through the natural workings
of economic conditions, that their volume
ls no longer great enough to make them
an Important factor, but if they are. the
so-cslled Elklns amendment of the inter
state commerce law passed In 19Q, pro
vides an adequate remedy; and there seems
to be reasonable ground for the prevalent
belief that the Interstate Commerce com
mission has, for reasons best known to
Itself, failed to use the added power It
has for two years possessed under the law
to suppress these Irregularities, but has
been willing to befog the problem by con
fusing the separate and distinct rate
mnklng power with that of prescribing
rates.
Concentration of Ownership.
As to the concentration of ownership of
our railroads, he said:
While consolidation and unification of
railroad control have rapidly progressed
since 1R93, I believe the public Idea of its
extent and of its adverse effect upon the
nation's commerve have been greatly ex
aggerated. But admitting that railroad centralization
Is the rule of the present era. no creditable
evidence ls produced to show that It has
unfavorably affected the general commerce
of the country or Increased the rates
charged for Its transportation.
It is untrue that the oflloiiils and owners
of the railroads are "stiff necked" in their
opposition to all public supervision of their
rates or regulations.
I have vet to meet the well versed offi
cial who believes It possible to select any
five or any twenty men. no matter how
able, honest or expert, to whom could be
safely Entrusted tlo power to supervise pr
prescribe, either in whole or In part, the
transportation rates of this great country
without risk of Imminent and wldespread
ing danger to every commercial Interest.
1 believe 1 voice almost without dissent
railroad opinion In saying that It accepts
the general principle that the governments
relation to public transportation companies
should be that of wise supervision to pre
vent Insofar as practicable, every unjust
practice, either by them or against them.
I have reasonable faith that the agencies
that have been mainly instrumental in
building up so successfully and wonder
fully the world's intercourse, cannot have
so suddenly gone wrong In the perform
ance of their most Important functions as
to warrant the hasty application of drastic
and untried remedies. (
Franklin MacVeagh of Chicago followed
President Tuttle and spoke on the labor
situation In Chicago.
Robert E. Moore, C. E., of St. Louis, was
the next speaker and resopnaoa to tna
toast, "Retrospect and Prospect." Mr.
Moore made a brief restrospect suggested
by last year's exposition at St. Louis and
called attention to the wonderful growth
In civilisation of the past century, which
he said was nowhere more marked than lit
this nation. He predicted for the new cen
tury a time "when all men's good shall be
each man's rule."
Melville E. Ingalls, chairman of the board
of the Big Four railroad, closed with "Auf
wledershen." Ingalls Makes SnEgeatlon.
The closing speech of Melville E. Ingalls,
who recently retired from a long term as
president of the Big Four railway, brought
a new and striking suggestion for added
powers for the Interstate Commerce com
mission. After remarking that as he had
retired and was now a private citizen he
could talk railroad rates, he said:
You should Investigate the railroads as
you do the national hanks. Turn them in
side out. Give the Interstate Commerce
commission all the clerks they want and
full authority to Investigate the railroads,
but don't give them power to x rates.
What the people want and will have is
