I'ATIIS, Oct. 13. Tne French government
I meeting the situation resulting from thn
general strike ot railroad employes with a
firmness that challenges the admiration
of those who sympathise with the
men In their fler-mds for a minimum
wage of SI a day. Thla morning ..ve ot
t: o atrlka leaden were placed under ar
rest. Thla action vai In fulfillment of Pre
mier Brtand's promise to purUiib the agi
tator who, he haa declared, precipitated
an Insurrectionary movement at the very
hour that the premier and M. Mlllerand,
t.es minister of public, works, posts and
telegraphs, were conducting negotiations
looking to the peaceful adjustment of the
differences between the railroad managers
and their employes.
Tha National Railroad union has suc
ceeded. In thoroughly demoralizing the ser
vice on the northern anr western systems,
but It had less success in the eastern and
southern lines. The situation this morning
showed little change from yesterday.
Men Nrarljr All Out.
The men of the Paris, Lyons & Mediter
ranean road are nominally on strike and
the eastern system is badly hampered, but
many trains are being operated as usual
on tha former system. The employes of
uie Paris-Orleans road and the Paris sub
way last night voted to go out, but the
subway lines were being operated aa usual
this forenoon.
'1 ne hope of the strikers rests largely In
the prospect of sympathetic strikes. The
bricklayers and pavers have voted a genera)
atrlke beginning today. The unlona of other
trades are meeting and are expreslng simi
lar intentions.
To fiva atrlke leaders arrested this
morning attempted a dramatic scene by as
sembling in the office of the tlumanlte. a
socialist newspaper, whore they passed
thv night; '9.Ue company of virtuall:-, th
complete aoeiallsf deloga'tlon of the cham
ber of deputies, expecting the arrival of tha
police. When the officials arrived and the
deputies began to make Inflammatory
speeches, the prefect of ponce cut tho pro
ceedings short and hustled the leaders off
In jibs.
The .mobilization of railroad reservlMts
decreed by th government Is proceeding.
The men have responded In large numbers,
but aa yet they have not been ordered to
take up the, work of tne strikers.
Walk la the Italu.
Thousands of suburoanites were turther
Inconvenienced by a deluge of rain, which
made many of the roads leading Into the
city Impassable to pedestrians. As a con
sequence many failed to report at their
offices and th business of the city was
upset.
a canvass of the Paris. Lyons &
Mediterranean road and the Paris Or
leans Una allowed that In most places the
men remained at their posts this fo"
noun. A number of acts of violence against the
roiling stock Is reported from the pro
vinces. The strikers disclaim responsi
bility for these, saying the damage has
been done by persona not connected with
the railroads.
1 he strike Is effective on the western
road leading to LeM.ins and Brest, 'Cher-
bourg. Havre and Dieppe and on the north Smyrna. Referring to the work of the col
em road extending to Amiens, Boulogne I 18, President Maclachlln said It had
a-d Calais.
It has failed up to u.ls afternoon on the
southern division over which Dijon, .ta
lons, Lyons and Marseilles on' the Mediter
ranean are reached. The eastern road to
Belgium and Qrrman points was badly
hampered, but not wholly tied up.
The belief that the strike has been
checked waa reflected on the Bourse today,
where ther was an Increased demand for
railroad shares, which grew stronger ac
cordingly. Th arrested leader were charged with
provoking seditious meetings and leading In
violence and the destruction of property.
The government Is convinced this move.
together with the summoning to military
service as reservists all of the strikers,
will break the backbone of the strike,
which already has been weakened by the
failure of the nun of the eastern road,
the Paris, Lyons & Mediterranean, and the
i'aris-Orleans load to respond generally to
the orders of the militant chief of the
National Federation.

"The most urgent need is for a train

declared Rev. Henry A. Nelpli of the West

Mrs. Nrlph said that tlie natives who
have been trained at the five churches of

Speaking of the needs of Turkey, Rev.
Herbert M. Irwin, a missionary In that
land, said they might be summed up in
the words "The Uospel." "Much talk

whistling in the winds. One of the great
needs In Anatchla today Is a farm school,
where, for a term of years, the Impres

Democratic Barrel
Already on the Way
(Special Staff Correspondent of Washing
ton Star.)
NEW YORK. Oct. 10 The demociaU
are beginning to chafe a little under the
repeated assertions that all the corpora
tions, the financial Interests, the big
money lenders with foreign names, the
Wall street gamblers, the railroad mag
nates and sllk-liatted habitues of Fifth
avenue clubs are supporting the demo
cratic ticket this year. The Information
that they are thus aliened Is gratifying, of
course, but some of the leaders fear that
reiteration of It may react when il beglnfc
to souk Into the comprehension of t'.-v
plain people.
It is a now 1 position for the democratic
party to be p aced In. This la the firM
campaign Mnce Cleveland's time when the
democrats have been abie to get to the
pie counter. Heretofore they have stood
by and abused the republicans for trust
affiliations.
Republicans leaders already are pie pur
ln to disseminate the glad tidings that
Andrew I'urnegW has contributed elO.oGj
to the demociattc campaign fund. They
think it will be worth JuJ.On) to the re
publican candidate to have It understood
thorouKhly by every voter Ihut some of
the Interest on those ste?l trust bonds U
going into the democratic campaign fund.
Not alone In New York slate Is the
democratic party the ' ractlonary"
party this year and the tcpublhan the
radical." In New Jersey the democrats
are being supported by the "interests."
It Is openly charged In financial circles
here that the New Jersey democratic
campaign Is being financed by J. P. Mor
gan's office. Prof. Woodrow Wilson may
nut be cognizant of It, but It Is being de

Trajn Boost for Legis

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 13.-Aftr a whirl
wind trip across Indiana Theodore Roose
velt, reached Indliinspoll at 2:45 o'clock
to make his principal speech of the day
for I'nlted Btates Senator Albert J. Bev-
eridge. I
On his arrival In Indianapolis Colonel I
Roosevelt was taken through crowded
streets to Monument place, where he ad- I
dressed a large crowd. He dwelt espe- j
imny on me mini, coiiiiiicuuing me siaoa
taken on that Issue by Senator Beverldge.
When the Roosevelt train reached Col
fax the colonel spoke from the rear plat
form to a crowd which had gathered at
the station.
"I believe In material prosperity," Colo
nel Roosevelt said, "but I believe In It as
a means of grace and not as an end of
grace. Those of you who are familiar
with the old time theology will understand
that. I believe that material, prosperity Is
absolutely necessary, but on It you must
build a higher life. Prosperity will avail
nothing If we do not have the rlnght kind
of citizenship. If you politics is crooked,
In the end It will taint the whole state."
At Lebanon a fifteen-minute stop was
made. A platform had been erected, but
the crowd was so dense that he had to
fight his 'way through it to get to the
stand.
"Senator Beverldge has stood for you at
Washington," said the colonel. "He does
not have to explain why he did not stand
for you, because he did. He was true to his
pledges.'
Students Yell for Teddy.
LAFAYETTE, Ind.. Oct. 13 Another
large crowd greeted Colonel Roosevelt i
here. The students nf Pnrilue unlvoraltv
started a yell for him as he appeared. The !
colonel standing on the stone railing of j
,k. n.i- -i.,K u. '
the Lincoln ctub said:
"There la victory In the air here In In
diana. . This is a contest against crooked
politics and against croked business. One
thing I want to make clear to you Is thai
the only way to support Senator Beverldge
Is to support the men on the legislative
ticket with him."
Referring to Senator Beverldge's attitude
In regard to tho Payne-Aldrlch tariff bill,
which the senator voted against. Colonel
Roosevelt said:
"The senator did not split off from his
party; he merely stood by the bulk of the I
party." f j
Loyalty to Party.
CRAWFORDS V1LLE, lnd.. Oct. 13.- i
"Loyalty to the principles of the party," .
said Colonel Roosevelt, ' consists in apply
ing those principles to present conditions.
If a war should come we would need the
spirit of Grant and Sherman, but we
should use different methods and different
tactics. It would be ruin to the nation
If the soldiers declined to adopt the new
methods. Our task today is to secure
genuine popular rule and to drive the spe
cial Interests out of politics.
"We intend that there shall be a tariff
to give proper protection, but we don't In
tend to show favoritism to any set of men.
Three years ago Senator lieveridge Intro
duced a bill for which the entire republi
can party will be a unit before the next
presidential campaign. By that time every
body will have caught up. That bill pro
vided for a tariff commission."
Colonel Roosevelt explained the tariff
commission plan.
"I would like to see one thing added,"
he said. "When the commission Is In

port Is that the financial Interests are
grooming Prof. Wilson to oppose Roose
velt m 1912.
In Ohio it Is well known that Governor
riarmon, the democratic candidate for re-
election. Is backed by the moneyed and
corporation interests, and the campaign Is
receiving aid from New York, all with the
object ot attempting to wreck republican
success for fear that ultimately Roosevelt
Lwill take control of that parly in the na-
uon as he has In the state.
In Indiana Beverldge is fighting a lone
hand with practically empty war bags.
while the democrats are getting substantial
aid from sources that hitherto supplied the
republican party.
It Is pathetic to hear the republicans
whimper about their forlorn and deserted
Vondltlon. It is as If the pampered son of
the nousehold had been turned out to eat
his bread and molasses on the baca stoop,
while an interloper sat at "the first table."
And they are not exaggerating their
woes, either. It Is an aosolute fact that
the republican campaign fund is as poor
as a church mouse. The collectors report
that they only "get the laugh'' when tney
travel well worn roads ot the paat In
search ot contributions.
The head of one of tho great financial
and Industrial Institutions, which hereto
fore has been generous to the republicans,
made this remarji to the writer:
"We don't care if a democratic house Is
elected. It simply means a deadlock on
legislation, and the less legislation we get
the better we will like It. We should enjoy
a re.n for two years. Besides. It will do
the republicans good to get a licking, and
make us stronger In 1912."
The republican managers groan vthm
they hear statements sueh as this. They
realise they are "up aga'usi If fur fair

WASHINGTON. Oct. 13. Interest In the

road lines east of Chicago showed no
diminution today. The statements In
support of the Increases In rates made

railway officials.
While President Wlllard of the Balti

the statements of Mr. McCrea, coupled, of

already have been placed In evidence.
The likelihood Is that within a few days
formal official announcement will be made

NO CHANGE IN CHURCH NAME
Question Up Before General Conven
tion of the Episcopals.
MUCH BUSINESS IS IN SIGHT
Proposition to Amend Laws Relative
to Marrlnge and Divorce Is One
of the Questions to De
Acted Upon.
CINCINNATI, O., Oct. 13.-The question
of changing the name of the church to tho
Holy Catholic church was on the program
to be brought before the general Protestant
Episcopal convention today. It was ex
pected the matter would come before the
house of deputies through the report of
the committee on the title page of the
prayer book, scheduled to make Its re
port. Majority and minority reports had been
prepared by the members of the committee.
The majority report -did not favor chang
ing the name, and asked that the commit
tee be dismissed. The minority report rec
ommended that tho name bo changed to
the "Holy Catholic church."
The resolution adopted by the house of
bishops appointing a committee to the
office for unction of the sick also was ex
pected to come before the lower house.
This matter already had been discussed by
that body and failed of passage through
the disagreement of the clerical and la
deputies. If It reverses Its former action
a committee will be appointed to consider
the matter and bring in a report at the
New York convention In 113.
One of the first matters taken up by the
house of bishops was a proposal to change
the laws of the marriage and divorce.
These are known as canons thirty-eight
nnd thirty-nine. A ranvma of the mem
bers of the body made It appear that the
marriages In which either party had been
divorced will be abolished In the church.
As the canons stsnd the Innocent party
In a divorce on the ground of adultery
may be married by a member of the EpU
coral church. It Is thought this regulation
will be repealed.

ST. PA PL. Oct. 13-Fiank B. Kellogg,
who prosecuted the Standard Oil company
in on." of the most famous legal battles
ever waged In the I'nlted States courts, I
today present ng the closing arguments of
law and fact In the I'nlon Pacific merg. r
rase which has occupied the attention of
the entire ft deral bench of the Judicial
court since last Monday.
When I). K. Watson of Pittsburg con
cluded his brief argument for H. C. 1'rlek
the crowd exceeded tho capacity of tho
court room.
Mr. Kellogg answered the arguments of
Mr. Watson, who preceded him, and as
serted that H. C. Frlck, one of the in
(1lvldu.il defendants, had In no way been
a party to the conspiracy alleged In the
bill to monopolize the transportation fa
cilities from river terminals to the Pacific
roast.
Takes I p Three Propositions.
Mr. Kellogg then stated that through
his argument he would deal primarily witli
three distinct propositions:
The suppression of competition between
the natural competitors as prohibited by
tho Sherman anti-trust act.
Competition between railroads lAiturally
competitive as the settled policy of the
nation.
The ownership by one railroad of tho
stock or any part of the stock of a com
peting ralliond In suppression of compn
tltlon and therefore in suppression of trade
and commerce.
Senator Ppooner and Judges Banborn and
Hook engaged In a colloquy today over
questions asked yesterday during the sena
tor's argument.
"I must confess," said Mr. Suooner.
"that I did not grasp the hypothetical
que.-1 ion propounded by the court yester
day. Possibly the Infirmities of age are
telling on me. Since then I have had a
trunscrlpt of the question made and am
now prepared to answer it."
Hcpeuts frovrmcr duration.
Judge Sanborn then 4tpeated tha ques
tion as to whether If the Centra! Pacific
from Ogden to Pan rranclsco were owned
by an Independent company and the Now
York Central In 1901 carried seaboard
freight from New York to Chicago, that
the through route might not be consid
ered a competitor of the Southern Pa
clflc. "Not necessarily," said the senator.
"Tha next question, If you had admitted
that competition," said the Judge, ;'what
is the difference between that situation
nnd tho situation In this case?"
"1 maintain," said Senator Spooner, "the
Integrity of this proposition, that a rail
road so connected with another that It
cannot reach, say San Francisco, except
over the lails of the other company, has
no power to make competitive rates, and
cannot he regarded ill any sense as a
competitor."
Ilnllrnnd Presidents Testify.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-Two presidents
of great Ameiicun railroad systems today
contributed th'ir views, or reasons for, the
proponed advance In freight rates by the
roads In eastern trunk line territory at
the investigation lnb the proposed turlffs
by the Interstate Commerce commission.
The witnei-sc.i were President Iianlel Wll
lard of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
company, and President W. C. Brown of the
New York Central lines. Both of the of
offcials presented, from their viewpoint
reasons in Justification of the advances In
freight rates.
Marked similarity characterised the state
ments of both President Wlllard and Presi
dent Brown. Neither placed the responsi
bility for the proposed increase in rates
wholly upon recent advances In wages,
although both asserted thrtt the wage In
crease bad been an Important fuctor. Presi
dent Brown declared that Improvements
and betterment of railroad properties to
furnlsli adequate transportation facilities
could be accomplished only through an
Increase of the freiglit Income. He said
that under present conditions, it had been
shown to bo Impossible to obtain the money
necessary to make the proposed Improve
ments and apprehended that the Impossi
bility would continue until such time as
th? railroads were able to secure what he
regarded as an udequate return on the In
J vestments made In the linns.
The hearing, which tho commission had
, expected would be concluded today will be
coi. eluded tomorrow, and perhaps, on Sat
urday. Pie?; lent Brown had not been excused
from the witness stand when adjournment
was taken.
