CALLED ROOSEVELT AN “UNMITIGATE DLIAR.” Professor Thraw Democratic al Rally into an Uproar. Ithaca, N, Y., Oct. speech tonight Prof. E. . Woodruff of Cornell university called Theodore Roosevelt a liar, once an “‘unmitigated liar.” His attack, made at a political rally over which' he presided, threw the house intoa'n uproar. There were catcalls, hisses, cheers and clapping, with a steady shout behind them all of “Parker,” for the next speaker, ex- Judge Alton B. Parker. Judge Parker sprang to his feet and begged the au- dience to allow Professor Woodruff to be heard. The noiser of the houss complied, and the. rest of the evening went more smoothly. As soon as Professor Woodruff found his feet, he began to open up the Bellamy Storer episode, which Colonel 'Roosevelt only recently declared was closed. He charged that when the col- onel deniied sending Bellamy Storer to the vatison he was an “unmitigated liar,” and tthere were letters in his of- fice, the professor said, to bear him out. The uproar over this attack had barely subsided when the professor took yp his cudgels again. Roosevelt was twice a liar, he said, when he de- nied that the late E. H. Harriman sub- seribed to a corruption fund to be used for Roosevelt's election to the presi- dency. . He closed with a quotation from the Ttalian histarical Ferrero concerning Clodius,” applying the quo- tation to Roosevelt. The speaker was care ful to specify that he meant to imply po comparison between the pri- vate life of Clodius and that of Roose- velt. The quotation follows: “The youngest recruit in the ranks of the proletariat who knew neither fear nor scruples aand ombined the violence of the demagogue with the self assur- ance of the aristocrat he was prepared to assert his claim to.dominate the community—not so much by hi: . which was indeed in no w able, but by the one quality which he outshone all his rivals—by his uncontrollable audac: Judge Parker. who followed Profes- sor Woodruff, directed all his shafts at Candidate Stimson of the UPDOSltlon Cornell TWO INC:!ES OF SNOW IN TEXAS.

CONGREGATIONAL NAT)ONAL COUNCIL ADJOURNED. Most Important Conference in History of the Denomination. Boston, Oct. 20.—The national coun- cil of Congregational churches, taking final adjournment of its fourteenth’ triennial ~convention tonight, closed what leaders of the denomination de- clare to have been the most important conference in_the history of the de- nomination. Tonight's session con- cluded a series of meetings which has extended over a period of ten day Two decisions in_particular in the opinion of the leading crelical dele- gates to the council stamp the Boston meeting of the council as epoch making so far as Congregationalism is con- cerned, namely, the vote to centralize the source of denominational activity. authority and power, and, secondly, the unusual number of affillated Congrega- tional societies holding their annual meetings in connection with the coun- cil's' triennial s2ssion. The centralization of activity, power and authority was brought aboui b: the council’'s vote to constitute the members of the council the voting members of the various affiliated so- cieties, which hitherto have b2en inde- pendent organizations. The effect of this action wiil be to bring the Ameri- can board of commissioners for foreign missions, the Congregational Home Missionary society and the American Migsionary sociaty under the direction of the national council. This action will also tend to make the individual churches of ‘the demomination hereto- fore independent ;mawemb‘le to the council. o L - BOURKE COCKRAN BOLTS THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET Announces That He Nill- Vote: the Re- publican ket This Fall.
