NEW YORK, ec. 23.-Addreasng his wealthy congregation at ths close of ths formal session, yesterday. Dr. C. A. Aked, who reueritly came from Liverpool to be come pastor of the Fifth Avenue BapUst church, declared that he would not contem plate a permanent ministry In the church if the system of finance which made pos sible a deficiency at the end of the year was continued. "I want," said Dr. Aksd, 'T.OOO from you before you leave this '..church this morning. 1 . :- .. He got it. He said that the fact that soma of the members of the congregation were wealthy had led others to put the burden of the support of the cfcurch ou them. "It la not fair, R is a mean spirit,1 exclaimed Pr. Aked. "It has raised up a crowd of stingy souls who won't support ths church. It Is not fair to ms. I am tired ot hearing this church called Mr. Smith'a, Mr. Brown's or Mr. JUblnson's church. I - want 17,000 before you leave the church.

FREIGHT WILL BE REFUNDED Be cent Decision Will Benefit Iowa Cattle Shippers Half Million. OVERCHAHOE FOB SWITCHING, Drawback ef f 1 Per Car All Stark Shipped to Cfclraso for Five Years History ( the It. (From Stsff Correspondent.) DE3 MOINES, la., Drs. (Speelsl.)- Flilly $600,000 will be paid back t the eattle feeders and shippers of Iowa It the claims on fits for excessive charges in switching at the Chicago yards are paid and there Is every Indication that they must be paid. The claims of single cattle feeders In some Instances amounts to 1700. Credit for the recovery of this mono? snd for getting ths switching charge cut down froai 3 to tl a car is being claimed by the Com Belt Meat Producers and the Texas Cattle Growers' association, who dispute the claim of. the Chicago Llvs Stock ex. change. It Is estimated that fully 100,000 ears of live stock go from Iowa every yesr to Chi cago. For switching this stock from ths terminal of the road to the stoek yards ths terminal railway charged $2 a car.' The farmers and stockmen generally claimed that this was excessive and back in 1800 the Chlcsgo Livs Stock exchange started suit before the Interstste Commerce com mission to have it cut down to tl. The commission made ths order, but at that time, under the old law, tha commission had no authority to enforce Its orders- and the road continued to charge Us $2 a car. After the new rate law went,. into effect the suit, was relnstltuted and was won again, but this time the commission has authority to enforce Its orders, - and on all shipments for the five years preceding August 28, 107, thers is to be a refund to the shipper of tl a car. ' After the Live Stock exchange. of Chi cago had started the suit It "laid down," according to the claims of the shippers, and didn't press the suit, and It was about to be lost. The Texas Cattle Growers' asso ciation and later the Corn Belt Meat Pro ducers' association came in as interveners na nnauy got tns suit through to a suc cessful termination. Now they claim the Live Stock exchange, which Is an organiza tion of the commission men of Chicago, is clslmlng credit for the tvhole thing. After the suit, had been won In behalf of the cattle feeders the work ,of getting refund of the excessive charges paid was started. It was then necessary for most of the farmers of the west to get the num-: ber of cars they had shipped and the dates from their commission men before they could file their claims.' In spite, of the order ot the Interstate Commerce commis sion that these claims must be filed before August 28, 1907, the commission firms in many Instances wrote back to the farmers thst they would look after the matter for the farmer. Then thy proceeded not to look after It, and many of these farmers have now discovered that their claims are In too late. Some of the farmers Insisted on getting the number of cars and dates nd filed their own claim. Where they got In before August tt they will all get a refund of tl for every car they shipped during the five years preceding. It fs esti mated that there have been 100,000 cars a year shipped from Iowa a Ions for the past five years, which will make toOO.ooo due the feeders of Iowa. In addition the cattle men of all the other slates shipping to Chicago are entitled to the same refund. In Iowa and ths territory adjoining this ths Corn Belt Producers', association has been looking after the filing of claims for thij members of the agaoctatlon. , . ' o More Stock Watering.' .Watering corporation stock has been stopped in Iowa. Lawyers who have been handling the organisation of new companies advise their clients of the- new Peterson law' enacted, by' the last legislature, and the result Is that when a pew corporation Is organised In this state actual money Is put In for the amount of the capitaliza tion or else something of real money value. The executive council does not have a meeting now without considering ths appli cation of some corporation for the approval of the council to a stock Issue. Further more, ths success of the Peterson bill Is causing lawyers and others to discuss tho advisability of Iowa passing a law similar to the public utilities bill passed In New Tork. lion. Jerry Sullivan said today i "The Peterson pil" Is one of the best measures ever passed by the Iowa legislature. It Is true that some corporations will go outside of the state of Iowa to incorporate. They are- going now to North Dakota and Art. ona, but that doesn't materially concern us. Let Iowa for this once "stand pat." When a corporation Is organized under ths laws of Iowa there Is a guarantee thar one dollar is back of every dollar of capitali sation. And if s worth while. Lawyer say that the custom In tbs past has been that whenever any big deal Is financed, the purchasers of the bonds were) glvn about SO per cent of the common stock as a bonus. Then the promoters take a big per cent of the common stock for promoting the corporation, and the re sult is that the Investors put in their money against water. The recent showing in New York has been that In ths street railways there the persons who have tha control and management of the corpora tions do not have any money Invested. It is proposed now that the Iowa legisla ture should enact a law similar to ths New York public utilities bill, which gives a commission authority to go into ths office of corporation and examine its books and ascertain Just how much actual money has been invested and Just how much tin corporation is paying In profits each year. It is argued that only by soma such exam ination can the public ascertain whether Its patronage is paying a fair profit as the Investment. Harvest' for Newspapers. Country and city newspapers will reap a harvest In the coming campaign In Iowa, Ths primary election law provides that a csndidale can spend money to any extent tn but one wsy and that publishing the an nouncement of his candidacy through the newspapers. Rather, the law prohibits a candidate from hiring anyone to do sny work for him, making the two exceptions of hiring persons to circulate his petitions ana paying for the publication of his an nouncemsnts in newspapers. The work of the persons hired to circu late petitions will net amount to a s-reat deal afid will soon bs concluded. Paying lor space in the newspapers will be limited only by the sls of the pocketbook of ths candidate and the number ot newspapers in his district and tha number of columns of spas they have. Editors for once will come In for their own and there will bs no mors discussion at editorial association meetings of tbs time-worn subject i "Should candidates pay for political notices T" Ths psw primary election law practically, settles the dues tlon. Ot course there Is no Umlt to ths amount of space an dr' may Wlh to va free to fe(s favorite candidate and no limit to ths .amount Pr column he may charge tha pisn whom he opposes. lis may even refuse to print political notices and announcements entirely if ha wishes, out irom tn nature pr tha case it U easily Infsrrsd that In the coming cam pelf nswfpapsra will bs paid for what tney print. Some ar convinced that tha new Iowa primary law fVsiilt in the campaign being on a higher basis. They say thst It will be a campaign of education and that It ,wlll result "in prartleally rvery newspaper in the stats printing both sides to every question. Every candidate will feel free to go to any newspaper with his side sf the question In a polities! an nouncement when he knows that the news paper can legitimately charge him for it and the law expects him to pay for It. The thing that is bothering some of the politicians Is how can a headquarters bs opened when the law prohibits paying any. one for his service outside of the news papers and the persons who solicit signa tures to petitions The csndldate In fact Is somewhat at ths mercy of his friends. He cannot legally open a headquarters of his own and conduct a literary bureau In his own behalf, doing the regular cam paign work of writing letters and the like, unless those who work for him donate their services, or else unless his friends who ar not- candidates come to his re lief and contribute enough to pay the expenses of the campaign. There is noth ing In the law te prohibit those not candi dates, but friendly to a candidate con tributing to the expenses of his head Quarters. Teach' Tear hers to Spell.' . How csn the school teachers of Iowa be taught to spell? This Is a question that Is being discussed by educators and espe cially by the State Board of Educational Examiners. It hat Just lesked out that at the laist state examination from one county alone there were a half dozen teachers who failed to pass the examination Just be cause , they couldn't spell. The board looked Intd the matter snd when It was found that their spelling grsds was so low that It took them below the passing mark they railed for the papers. An examination of the papers showed the board, that they had Sapellsd less than CO per cent of the words correctly. The words, too, wer not difficult test words, but such words as are used every day In the uss of the English language. Reoentlyt in discussing the matter a prominent teacher, of the state writing a letter en the subject expressed the belief lhat If teachers would learn to spell they would be greatly "b-e-n-I-f-l-t-e-d." There were other words ID ths letter also mis spelled. It Is argued by some thst the old fashioned spelling school of the days of our fathers was responsible for good spell ers then, and the absence of It Is, responsi ble for bad spellers' now; -but It is argued, too, that with the. present organisation of society the spelling school cannot be in troduced with success. Theater and card parties of the present rlsy have displaced the spelling school, greatly to the disad vantage of the spelling attainments of the school tescher.

OOLDF1ELD, Nev., Dec. 23. -governor Sparks, It Is understood, is preparing a statement of present conditions In Gold field to be telegraphed to President Roose velt. Ths governor Is not satisfied that the president yet has the true light on the situation, notwithstanding the report of the commission, and the order of the War department for the withdrawal of ths troops. The communication tn the president will also, it Is said, contain a request for the retention of at least a portion of the troops now here after the date set for thsir going. The order for the movement of the troops back to their permanent -quarters came from General Funs ton to Colonel Reynolds, In command of the troops here, today. To supplement the request of the governor, a communica tion Has gone to him from Sheriff Ingalls of this county, Benjamin Rosenthal, chair man of the county commissioners, and Commissioner Splnker.
