mam. of BIBLE STUDENTS HEARS LECTURES

gnnual Gathering of Friends For Purpose of Studying the Bible Is Attended by Large owd. DOOK OF ECCLESIASTES IS UNDER DISCUSSION (Speaker Says It Is Not Good Book to Quote From v Songs of Solomon Not Written by the King. The Thirteenth Annual Friend' Bible Institute of Indiana Western and Wilmington Yearly Meetings was opened last evening at 5 o'clock at Llndley HallJEitlham College, by a lecture by Dr LefriGaston Leary of Pelhsm Manfir, VS. Dr. Leary chose for b subject, Vrhe Book of lEeclesiastesf ana in dart spoke as follows "The b clesiaites Is one of the three isdem books! of the bible, verbs being the. other two. (Job and tBcholars longer believe Solomon (wrote the book of Eoclesiastes as ns have been found both inany m internal ai d external for ; rejecting the theory at he was the author. The book Is the xact opposite of Job and Is exceeding difficult of analysis ow ing to its gre&tr confusion. It ; Is claimed by some that the book was written in parts and bound together by Its author which would account in some measure for .its hopeless confusion. '' Still '. otheca., affirm that these strange paradoxes have been written for the few who were in Us secret and could therefore understand Its hidden meaning. In my opinion none of these suppositions are correct. ... It is the heart cry of a soul groping in the dark exercised and perplexed, because , there is no justice under the sun; because all things happen by chance. Dr. Leary stated that the book of Ecclesiastes was not a good book to quote from in proof of any theology nor a good one to read from by short extracts owing to the confusion of its thoughts. Solomon Not the Author. Dr.', Leary , spoke again In the even lng, on this occasion taking as his subject,' '.'The Song of Songs", better known as "Solomon's Song." Howev er Dr. Leary declared that practically all scholars now agreed that Solomon , was not the author but that in all probability it was written about 250 years' before Christ. "There are a thousand and one theories attempting to prove the clue to the book but the three most worthy are. first, that it Is a collection of love songs; second, that it Is a dialogue; third, that it Is a drama. The latter theory appears to me to be the most logical and is the only one of the three whicji entirely eliminates all the difficulties. . . . This Morning's Services. Dr. Leary ; delivered his third lecture this morning at the Friends Bible . institute which is being held "in Lindley hall, Earlham college. His Subject was "Jonah. A History or a j . Sophecy.'V Dr. Leary stated that the book differs from all other prophecies in that it makes no pretense of being written by the prophet himself. He declared that It was probably written 400 years before Christ. Murray S. Kendall delivered his first lecture this morning choosing as his. subject, "John Woolman." The speaker gave a very interesting account of the life of the great author. ' Mr. Kendall stated that in Woolman's writings are found many indications of his mysticism. This term as applied to the views of Friends means direct revelation through communion with his Maker, Dr. Leary will deliver, a lecture this evening at 8 o'clock on "The Historic Mediterranean." The talk will be Illustrated with fine colored sterloptlcon views.

SENATE RESUMES TARIFF BATTLE ODDER RIG FIRE Western Insurgents Succeeded in Staying Off Vote on Measure Because of Joker On Hides. JOHN DOE WARRANTS SERVED ON CONGRESSMEN Threatened With Police Interference, Members Hesitate About Going Home and Return to Vote. (American News Service) X Washington, Aug. 3. Senate leaders have decided that the measure correcting the leather schedule joker shall be concurrent rather than a joint resolution aa a concurrent measure "would not require the signature of the president. ; A' concurrent resolution will also permit an amendment placing cotton bagging an the free list and reduction of duty on cotton goods, pineapples and other articles to be itroduced, but the leaders expect to confine the resolution to the leather schedule. '' The senate resumed the tariff battle today. At the same time the conferees began work with a concurrent resolution to be introduced In both houses simultaneously, to do away with the "joker" in the conferees' reoprt which upset all tariff calculations at the last moment. The resolution will alter the paragraph relating to shoes and other as to make certain that the low rates agreed to as the price of free hides shall be put into effect. Insurgents Were Winners. Presiden Taft and Senator Aldrich suddenly found themselves at the mercy of the western insurgents as a result of the "Joker" which made cer tain of higher duties on leather goods. J This predicament necessitated conierences and night visits to the White House before the westerners wereappeased. - The trouble was all over the paragraph putting hides on? the free Hat which was regarded by the "regular insurgents" as a betrayal of the promise made to them that boots and shoes and manufactures of leather shall have the benefit of a reduction in duties to correspond with the reduction on hides. " Are Two Provisions. There are two .provisions for duties on shoes reported by . the conferees. Following the paragraph which - puts hides on the free list is one which reads: ;"'''-V. ,. V - "That boots and shoes, the upper leather of which is made wholly , or in chief value from such hides, shall pay a duty of 10, per centum ad valorem.w;vy;.. . , A separate provisioin makes all other shoes made of leather dutiable at 15 per cent. To Amend Resolution. The concurrent resolution will amend the language so as to make the report fulfill the agreement made with the western senators. President Taft was a little impatient with those who referred to the objectionable clause as a "joker. , He pointed put thatjt was specific and that he knew its meaning at the time. Mr. Taft wrote a letter to Senator Borah and another to Senator Brown, who deemed to occupy positions as leaders in the latest revolt. Senator Aldrich became alarmed at the strength of the rebellion and hurried to the white house. It was seen that more work was cut out for " the conferees and steps were taken at once to see if the conference committee could not be immediately reassembled. Many of the house members, thinking their - labors done,, had departed forJ home and others were leaving. John JDoe Warrants. - The sergeant-at-arms of the . house was supplied with a number of "John -Doe" warrants . and - started out to round up all . the representatives . he could find. At the Union station he found Messrs. Keliher of Massachusetts; Ashbrook, of Ohio; Driscoll ; of New York; Denby of Michigan and

MACHINE

IS 11017 CONSIDERED Commercial and Young Men's Business Clubs Took Up Purchase Subject Through Directors. DIFFERENCE OF OPINION WAS VERY EVIDENT. Older Organization Favors Modern Way to Conduct Elections, But Younger Objects to Expense. The subject of voting machines was thoroughly discussed at the meeting of the board of directors of the Commercial club last evening. The board unanimously agreed on a resolution favoring the purchase of machines by the ' county. The board will include its recommendation in a report to the club at its next meeting. But the board of directors of the Young Men's Business club did not see things the same way. It did not approve of the general tendency toward this method of conducting elections and did not endorce the proposition. Commissioners Made Request. Some time ago the county commis sioners requested the Commercial club to give its opinion as to the advisability of purchasing voting machines at this time. . A representative of the U. S. Standard voting machine was pres ent ; with a machine last evening to demonstrate Its practicability and economy. C. E. Wiley, president of the board y of county commissioners was also present by invitation, . Mt. Wiley stated that he was confident "thafthe voting machines were coming, that their practibillty , and economy had been amply demonstrated, : and it Is only a matter of finances with the county as to when they should install them. . ; ... "Would Not Raise. Levy. The commissioners desired to know the sentiment of business men on the matter. Mr. Wiley stated that the vot ing machine company proposes to sell the machines on payments, and the payments could be arranged in such a way that it would not require a raise in the tax levy to meet them. That they proposed to make the payments no greater than the saving made by the county over the old way of hold ing the elections. It was shown that at present there were 64 precincts re quired to hold the election the old way, and which cost the county $3,2S0. With the voting machines the precincts would be reduced to 28 in number and the cost of holding the election would be but $1.150. , thus making a saving of 12,130. if this saving Is applied to the payment of voting machines they could be paid for in a few years. Their desirability for the purpose of holding fair elections was also set out. Mr. WUey did not ask the club to pass on any particular make of machines, as the law governed the method by which they must purchase bv first advertis ing for competetive bids. At the meeting of the directors of the Young Men's Business club the proposition of buying voting machines came up for consideration and was the subject of much discussion. Their opinion relative to the matter was In exact contrast to that of the Commercial club. The directors did - not deem it advisable for the - county to make an expenditure of $20,000 for voting machines just at this time, claiming that the money might be spent to better advantage despite the fact that the county is now in a better financial condition than it has been for years. The county commissioners were notified of the decision of the Young Men's Business club and the matter will be carefully considered before any action is taken. placed them all under, arrest Mr. Smith protested vehemently declaring that his wife is ill and that he was takitig her home. Mr. Keliher said it was nearly a matter of life and death with him to be in Boston on Tuesday. He was told that a warrant would be given to a policeman and he would be arrested on the train. Then he capitulated, but with ill grace. Others were rounded up on the street and in hotels and depots. It was a common -sight to see a dignified and stately figure, silk hatted and manifestly a lawmaker, arguing and gesticulating with the sergeant-at-arms while he protested that he had to be in Illinois, or Maine, or Ohio, or Michigan tomorrow. . MAY NOT RETURN. It is probable that W. S. Hiser will not' return to assume his duties In connection with the local public schools. He has completed his work at the Armour School of Technology, Chicago, and will enter the technical department of Chicago - University.

REPORTERS WERE ASKED SOMETHING SAID ASOUT "FRAU LEIN8" AND EVERYONE LISTENED, THEN ACCEPTED WITH SHOUTS OF GLEE. emassaaaw . ... Following the adjournment of the city council last evening, Matt Von Pein, councilman at large, whose term expires January .1, made a speech to his .associates jGtennaa .which, was understood by all the city officials,' but not by the reporters. All the reporters found oat was that Mr. Von Pein cordially invited the city officials and them to his home, 703 South J street, Sunday afternoon August 15, to participate in a farewell social. What else he said in his fifteen minute speech is not known as none of the scribes can take short hand when a speech is delivered in the old ' language. ,.. . Something was said - about fried chicken, sweet potatoes, etc., and "the lid," by one of Mr. Von Pein's associates in council, to which question, judging from Mr. Von Pein's reply, it is obvious that he said he would attend to all such matters. The social is to be a stag party, although Mr. Von Pein said something about the "burgemeister" bring his "frau" and "fraulelns" of the reporters being invited.' ' Mr. . Von Pein has served in the city council for four years and has been a most efficient officer. He attempted to gain the nomination last May, but was defeated. He looks back over his four year's experience with much pride. SUSPECT IS HELD Iff RANSOM CASE Detectives and Police Seem to Be Polled." 1 (American News Service) St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 3.
