Detrolt, Mich., July 2.—“Those who would have their children taught re- liglon in school are shirking the duty they should perform themselves,” de- clared Dr. Henry Frederick Cope of Chicago, secretary of the Religious Educational association, in his address on The Recent Progress of Religious Fducation, at the annual meeting of the Central Conference of American Rabbis here today. He urged against the teaching of the Bible in public schodls. “We should all stand unalterably opposed to the attempts that are being made to establish reading of the Bible in public schools,” said Dr. Cope. “The outcome of the mew interpretation of spiritual training to which we ave looking forward would be the applica- tion of religion to the social problems of every day life” Dr. Cope attacked modern religious revivalism. “Revivallsm of the mod- ern type with its profanity and inde- cency is ths death struggle of an old- fallacy of religion” he sald. After the speaker had left the hall, Rabbi Stephen 5, Wise, of New York, eriticised the Religious Edncational as- Soclation as an organization non- @reedal in it§ scope of which Bishop D. Willams of this city is dent. 'Although the Religious Fducational assoclation 1s ten or twenty years old,” .aald Rabbi Wise, “not one Jew has ever been asked to sit in its coun- ells or take part in its meetings. Some of us have been asked to lend the or- ganization our financial assistance, but ‘we have something more than imoney to give the movement. I am sorry Dr. Cope is not here so T can express my sentiments directly to him.” RUMOR OF $2,000,000 HOTEL FOR HARTFORD. On Site of Allyn House Property— Mergon F. Plant One of Syndicate.

In his confession Gabrinovics says that after learning, while at Belgrade, that Archduke Francis Ferdinand was going to Sarayevo, he communicated with Gavric Prinzip, who fired the fa- tal sbots, with the result that they resolved to go there and also kil the archduke, the duchess and their suites and die themselves for the fatherland. To obtain bombs they applied to Major Milan Pribitchevitch, secretary of a Pan-Servian Union and formerly an officer in the Austrian army, who had jolned the Servians. Through him, Gabrinovics savs, bombs and re- volvers were obtained from the Ser- vian arsenal at Kraguyevatz. Gabrinovics undertook to find four other bomb throwers, and it was agreed that when the archduke was seen approaching each should hold a bomb in his right hand and a bottle of poison in his left hand ard that he should drink the poison after throwing the bomb. Gabrinovics succeeded in finding ac- complices, one of whom was a Bel- grade student named Grabes. The con- spirators traveled separately to Sara- Yevo, where the bombs were divided among them in a_confectioner's shop on the morning of the attempt. Ac- cording to Gabrinovics, Prinzip told him he had given bombs and poison to three other comrades, whose names he did not divulge. Prinzip, who had previously denied he had any accomplices, today broke down under examination and exclaim- ed: “I now regret my crime for my comrades deserteq me in a shameful manner. They should have thrown the bombs, but the cowardly scoundrels did not. Consequently I revenge my- self on them by betraving them. Leave me alone until tomorrow and I will give more details.” = Grabes has been arrested and ad- mits having received bombs and pois- on. i Steamers Reported by Wireless.

Washington, July 2.—Naval officers were discussing with gratification to- day Secretary Daniels’ announced determination to urge congress at its next session to repeal the law of 1899, known as the personnel act, - under which/ the “plucking board” picked fitteed officers for compulsory retire- ment this year. Included in the list of those whose active careers were ended yesterday by the recommenda- tion of the board, were several cap- tains with ,distinguished records.

Secretary Dantels hopes to have congress pass legislation to readjust the navy’s personnel so as to elimin- ate certain features of the present law which he considers objectionable.
