SENATOR' AARGES DENEDBY FARMERS International Congress Says No Agreement Was Made " on Transportation Act. Denial of recent charges by Senator La Follette of Wisconsin that an agreement not to push legislation to repeal the so-called guaranty sec- tion of the transportation act and to restore state control over Intrastate rates was obtained from farm organ- ization leaders at a conference here with representatives of the railroads and of coal, steel and lumber inter- ests, was made today by W. I. Drum- mond of Kansas City, chairman of the board of governors of the Inter- national Ferm Congress. Mr. Drummond, who attended the conference December 9, which was termed a “secret” meeting in a state- ment by Senator La Follette, declared the session was not a secret one and that the agricultural representatives ‘held out uncompromisingly” for re- peal of the guaranty clause in the transportation act and that the rail- way executives agreed not to oppose its repeal. Agreed to Vesting Power. . The raflroad executives also agreed, accordh)g to Mr. Drummond's state- ment, “to the vesting of regulatory powers in the state railway commis- sions, which the Esch-Cummins act | does not provide,” while the farm representatives agreed not to join “in the effort to transfer the control over intrastate rates from the Interstate Commerce Commission to the railway commissions at this ti The object of the conferences, as far as the farm organization leaders were concerned, he said, was to ob- tain quickly the greatest possible re- duction in freight rates and “to cause the correction of any condition or practice unfair to agriculture by peaceable effort, where possible.” The railroad officials, he added, contended the 10 per cent rate reduction already made on agricultural products was more than they could stand under present conditions, and they sought co-operation in effecting such reduc- tions in railroad expenses as would justify” this decrease and permit still further reductions. Merits Not to Be Discussed. “The merits of the attempt to re- store power over intrastate rates to the state railway commissions need not be discussed at this time; but if such attempt is to result in clouding the issue and interfering with the real effort to get rate reductions, it would seem that it should at least be postponed. What the farmers want, and must have if agriculture is to prosper, is an early and substantial reduction in transportation rates on 2 nation-wide basis. Whatever is necessary to enable the railroads to make such reduction and still render service must be done. forty or more state railway commis- sions with rate making power, and declare an open season for railroad baiting would not seem to accom- plllsh what is so badly needed at this time.” NEW YORK MAN LECTURES ON CHRISTIAN SCIENCE William W. Porter Takes Up Vari- ous Systems of Religion and Medicine in Address Here. In a lecture delivered in the First Church of Christ, Scientist, last even- ing by William W. Porter, C. of New York city, under the a various systems of religion and medi- cine which have been known in the history of the world. Among other things he said: “Systems of religion and of medi- cine which have appeared and dis- appeared in the history of the world have finally disappeared because they were founded either upon the per- sonal reputation or the personal sense. of their originators, or upon the unworthy belief that evil is a reality with power exceeding that of good or God, and that matter, non- intelligent and inert, possesses the qualities of life and mind. Any sys- tem of religion or healing which is satisfactorily to meet the needs of mankind must be erected upon a foundation as universally available as divine love itself is available. “Christian Science has been criti- cised frequently because of its state- | ments regarding the unreality of mat- { ter, sin, sickness, death; and vet the established systems of religion and medicine have been engaged through- out their respective histories, and | that, too, without criticism, in the at- tempt to escape the ills associated with evil, and to overcome the limi- tations associated with matter. existing systems teach and perpetu- ate the belief that these evils are real and are more or less legitimate and to be expected. Christian Science de- clares tiat God, the divine mind, is the only creator; that real creation must reflect the character of the di- vine mind, and that true creation consists, therefore, of spiritual or | true ideas. Evil is not a spiritual or true idea; therefore evil is not a creation of the divine mind, or God.” ‘The lecturer was introduced by Her- bert W. Archer, first reader of Fourth Church.
