They will race tomorrow, wind permitting. PLAGUE IS MUCH EARLIER WASHINGTON, July 8.—Consul Johnson at Amoy, China, reports to the secretary of state the app ance of plague at that place two weeks earlier than usual this car. His statement 1s dated May 14. He % he has refused to permit Chinese steerage passengers to depart for Manila and_adde: “The spread of plague during the last ten days has been rapld and the gatalities most appalling. It Is my opinlon, based on the most reliable data from native sources, that during the week just closed there were many as 100 deaths per day in Amoy and its suburbs. The same condition of affairs exists In surrounding cities within thirty miles ot Amoy.” The representative of the marine hospital service at Hong Kong aleo reports the earlier appearance of the disease in that city and a more rapid spread than usual. He says that several Europeans have been attacked. | Salt Rheum [ You may call it eczema, tetter or milk crust.

LINES CAST FOR A DIRECTOR GENERAL Howard Ellfott of Burlington R rosd is Under Conm ton— Problems Presented by & Site. ST. LOUIS, July 8.—President David R. Franels of the Louisiana Purchase Exposi- tion company roturned from the east today and tomorrow will take up the world’s falr work with the executive and other committees that will be called to- ether. The selection of a director gen- eral hes not been made and the appoint- ment is looked forward to with Interest. Willlam 1. Buchanan, who holds & like position with the Buffalo exposition, is no longer considered, owing to his disinclina- tlon to engage further in exposition work. Corwin H. Spencer of this city has, it is sald, also declined to become a candidate. According to a member of the organization committe, Howard Elliott, ager of the Burlington lines in Ml is being favorably considered in that con- nection. Isaac 8. Taylor, chiet architect of the Loulsiana Purchase exposition, recelved a letter today from John Garrere, New York architect, accepting tbe appointment on the architectural commission. Similar letters have been received from other mem- bers of the commission. Mr. Taylor said today: “A strong commission has been selected and the members show a determination to enter upon thelr dutles with spirit and enthusiasm. The first meeting of the com- mission will be held tomorrow in the Planters’ hotel. ‘“‘After the gathering we can tell better what the fair is going to be like. It will represent no mal idea or eccentrieity, but the combined wisdom and experience of the entire board. “The problem presented by the Forest park site differs from any yet encountered in bullding a world’s fair, with the single exception of the Centennial in Phifadel- phia, which was a comparatively small affair. ‘“‘Instead of a level plaln, upon which to group the principal buildings about a cen- tral court, we have a rolling and uneven surface. The grading of the site down to a common level s, of course, out of the question. “We must take the ground as it is and by utllizing its natural advantages a world's fair can be created there whose equal for beauty has never been seen, “The task is a dificult one and there are many things to be taken into consideration. One is the question of perspective. The bulldings must look well to the visitor who stands In the highest part of the park as well as to the one who stands in the lowest portion.” Frederick W. Ruckstuhl of . New York, secretary of the National Association of Sculptors, has been selected as adviser to the commission of architects on matters of sculpture, an indication that he will later be made director of sculpture of the Loulsi- ana Purchase exposition. ———— A ant Secretary to Resign.

SOME PROMINENT SPEAKERS ARE HEARD Treasurer Shaw, Richard Lewis of Denver, Moody's Son and Others Stir Convention Delegates with Enthusinstic Addresses. CINCINNATI, July §—Perfect weather today greeted the thousands of Christlan Endeavorers who are assembled here in their twentleth annual convention. The registration clerks were kept busy until late at night registering the new arrivals. The program ae arranged by the commil- tee made today the great day of the con- vention. Meotings were many and en- thusiastic. The cooler weather seemed to have an invigorating effect on the Endeav- orers and the services of many were gladly accepted on noonday evangelical work which assigned them to small revival meetings on street corners in the tenemen! and mapufacturing districts. The musie ball auditoriume were in use durlug the morning, noon and evening, the historic walls reverberating alternately to joyous hosannas of the (housands and words of pri nd prayer of the speakers. The chlef topic of interest at the meet- ing today was the oxtempuraneous talk at the Central Christlan church of Rev. G. Campbell Morgan of Baltimore, who is rec- ognized among the church workers as the loglcal successor of the late evangellst, Dr. Dwight L. Moody. The junior Endeavorers met at the First Lutheran church, where Treasurer Willlam Shaw of Boston was the principal speaker. How to Hold the Boy. Willlam 8haw of Boston spoke of “How to Hold the Boy." He sald In part: “Win hie friendship in any legitima way. Don't be forever saylng ‘Don’t!' Do glve him something to do. Remember that boys are hero worshipers, that they admire masterful men and women, that letting them have their own way does not win them, that a firm baud and a warm heart are absolutely necossary. “Don’t be goody, goody. Don't have the hero of all your illustrations a beautiful, sweet little girl. Give the boy a chance to win, even It he is homely and rough and & triffle unconventlonal. Don't be afrald of a little noise and restiessness; it s a slgn of lite Direct it and use it rather than simply try to suppress it. Don't always blame the boy for your lack of ability to Interest him. Don't let him grow up with the idea that only women are in- terested in religlous work. If the junior superintendent is A woman get a man be- fore the soclety once tn a while, but be sure he is a man. If after you have done your best you still find that the boys wili not come with the little girls then organize a boys' juntor soclety with athletic and other features, as well as prayer meeting and bible work. Do something, anything, everything, but hold the boys, for they are the coming men." Afternoon's Largest Meeting. The big meeting of the afterncon was held In Auditorlum Endeavor, whero George D. Graff of Boston presided, with Percy S. Foster of Washington, D. C., as musical director. Devotional exercises were conducted by Rev. Curtiss of Barclay, Md. Rev. C. Lee Gaul of Philadelphia spoke on “A Century More of Christian En- deavor Pledged” and George F. Njc of Abfrdeen, Wash., told of “Officers that Keep Things Moving." ' Henry H. Marcusson of Chicago, the next speaker, evolved some ‘‘new committee ideas for the next century” in an open parliamentary eession in which many sug- gestlons were received from those in the audience. J. M. Warren of Santa Barbara, Cal,, turned his topic, “What Are the Ele- ments of a Strong Soclety,” into a similar open discussion. The mooted question among the Endeav- orers, ““The Honorary Member," was han- dled by Rev. W. L. Darby of Kirksville, Mo., who recommended that young mem- bers be elected to fill offices and that the older ones be relegated to a rear but active eeat. Dr. Ernest Brown of Cleveland, O., spoke of “Lookout Committees that Look Out’* On them, he said, the very life of the organization depends. Willlam R. Moody of Northfield, Mass., son of the evapgellst, Dwight L. Moody, expatiated on “Your Testimony in the Meeting,” which he sald should always come from the heart and be freely glven. Edwin S. Shaw of Wahpeton, N. D:, kept the Endeavorers laughing at his wit while he told of the “Pastors that Lead.” At Auditorium Williston, The fair sex predominated in Auditorium Willlston at the afterncon meeting, Prof. Joseph Lewls of Lexington, Va., having it in charge. F. H. Jecobs of Brooklyn led the chorus and music. The meeting was labeled “The Twentieth Century Cbristian Endeavor Soclety'” and It, too, was largely devoted to an open parliamentary session. President Francls Clark of Boston gave his ideas of *‘Advanced Steps for the New Year." ““The Tralning of Our Successors’ was treated by Miss Margaret Cooke of Water- ville, Me. W. H. Bell ot Philadelphia con- ducted the open parllament, while E. Q. Routzahn of Dayton, O, told “What Can Be Done with Good Literature.” Alexander E. Matheson of Janesville, Wis., explained “Social Committees that Are Social,” while “The Money Side of It" was discussed in open parllament by John Henry Stauft of Pittsburg, Pa. Pledge in the New Century, Rev. J. Edward Kirble of Charleston, S €., spoke of “What Our Pledge May Mean in the New Century.” He sald: “The Christian Endeavor pledge Is on probation no longer. Pastors and workers have had time to test its practicabllity. We have noted whether it was a barrier or a blessing to the young people. [ hava seen young men and young women without Christian stability, timid, scarcely able at first to read a verse of scripture, learn to pray and speak intelligently and it was plainly evident that there was a develop- ment of the spiritual faculty as well and more of & likeness to Christ, If we want to produce the most intelllgent type of plety that the world has ever seen let' us insist on fdelity to the requirements of the pledge.” ‘The Way to Make Christian Endeavor- ers” was, serlously discussed by Rev, R. V. Hunter of Indlanapolis. Rev. Willlam M. Penhallegon of Deeatur, TIl, spoke on “Graduating Into the Twentleth Ceutury Church.” Forward Look of Emdeavorers. Rev. R. W. Lewls of Colorado spoke of “The Forward Look of Christian En- deavor.” He sald: “Finally winning the world Christ should absorb us never before. In the home land and in the foreign flelds that great divine arm of salvation must be revealed Shall we not resol that as part of our twentieth century rvice for Christ and the church we shall say to the Lord, ‘Here am I; send me'? Do not let us lose sight of the fundamental facts in the propaga- tion of Christianity—that so far God has gonerally used saved people through whom €0 yeach the unsaved. It is gratifying to note how lai a part Endeavorers have taken in the churcbes, witnessing for Ohrist throughout their minority. Now that we are ‘of age' sball we not come (0 an up- derstanding that our united soetety and all our component gocleties exist primarily and principally for the purpose of reseuing the perishing? Om all sides sin is eeen mar shaling its forces, atrengthening itself and fortifying its territory. Common attacks with ordinary arms will never defeat the mighty foes of thie Intense century. The army of flesh can neyer win the day. To your tents, oh, Endeavorers of the requlsite ‘quiet-hour' arm that God gives and then spring forth {nto the battle against the glant forces of darkness. Chi 1s our captaln general and He leads. God will glve ua the victory through the strength of His tight arm.' Some Incidental Meetings. The local district and state officers met during the day and discussed business, as also did the preachers, who held an cx- clusive session in Auditorlum Endeavor late in the afternoon. The prison workers conferred in the Cen- tral Christiun church And the mission workers In the S8ccond Presbyterian chureh Between 5 and 5:30 p. m. President Clark recelved personally all endeavorers who have been members for ten years and longer. The reception took place in the 0Odeon, adjoining the musi: hall auditorium, and hundreds took the opportunity to meet Dr. Clark. Jacob A. Rlis of New York, the re- porter slum reformer, who was to have dellvered a talk tonight at the Lincoln Park Institutional Baptist church on “The Battle with the Slums,” was unable to be present, owing to illness. P. G. Berner<of Buffalo, who s to address the Gerrsan Christian Endeavorers, also was unable to come, Rally is Remarkable. The rally in Auditorium Endeavor this evening was in many respects the most re- markable of the convention. The principal speakers were Hop. . B. Capen of Boston and Rev. Charles M. Sheldon of Topeka, Kan. Long before the hour set for the meeting the immense auditoriumy with its seating capacity of over 5,000, was packed and the ushers forced to close and bar the doors in the faces of the clamorous crowd. President Francis Clark presided and Percy 8. Foster of Washington led the great chorus. Mr. Capen was Introduced amid a vehement demonstration. - He spoke of “The Christian Endeavorer's Duty in Mu- nicipal Polit He sald: “Government in America is practically shaped In the caucus. For the Christian man the primary meeting should be a- cred an appointment as the place of praver and {f the Christian men of the community at almost any election would take the inter- est they might get good men nominated. No Christian Endeavorer should ever forget to cast his ballot on the day of election. Let every Endeavorer place first fn his thought the moral character of the man for whom he votes. Government In America is now and has always been by parties and these are a hecessity. But a man is re- leased from all obligations If his party se- lects some candidate of doubtful character. Let us make our protest at this point by bolting the ticket. It has seemed to be for many years that the only way we can save our cities and our nation i3 to make this work a religious movement of Christian men of every sect, without any distinction whatsoever. This Is but a return to a part of our religion which has been neglected.” Clarence E. Eberman of Pennsylvania, the newly elected financlal secretary, was in- troduced. In view of his resignation as president of rthe Pennsylvania union, the Pennsylvania delegates had spread around the hall a card bearing the legend: ‘“‘Penn- sylvania’s loss, United Societies' galn. We pledge our bearty support to the new fleld secretary.” Clark Bmbraces Eberman, The card reqy°sted that the audience arise and recite those worda Mr. Eberman was taken completely by surprise, as was also President Clark, who embraced him, with tears In his eyes, Then followed the most profound incldent of the convention. Mr. F. H. Jacobs’of Brooklyn arose from amid the sea of faces in the chorus to sing: Wil There Be Any Stars in Your Crown?' Before he began he sald: At the conclusion of my hymn 1 would have sllence, po encore, no demonstration, but let the words of the song engrave themselves in your hearts in silence.” In- stantly the big hall became as quiet as a tomb and he Dbegap. His rich voice alene w heard and down among his hearers tears came to many eyes as there was generated in 5,000 breasts such a boundless sea of enthusiasm that its dying| echoes were only heard as the last of the Endeavorers sought their nightly retreats. He finiched and for a long moment there was silence and then some enthusiast ap- plauded, which was instantly taken up, only to be agaln repressed by the powerful pres- ence of Predident Clark, who exhorted si- | lence. Sheldon on Daily Papers. Rev. Sheldon w introduced and was enthusiastically received. He spoke of “The Daily Paper of the Twentieth Cen- tury.” He did not assume, he said, that there were no govd dally papers. Nelther did he assume that the press was hostile to suggestions which simply had for their object the poseible bettering of journalism, but he did assume that there was a very large and undeveloped field open to the dally press which was not at present culti- vated. A marked feature of the paper should be, he said, prohibition and another fea- ture the prominence given to the work done by Christian missionaries. The paper should also take very large account of the social movements of the times, The stand- ing question in its business and editorial management should be “What is the best thing for the best interests of the city? What will promote the welfare and happl- ness and morality of the entire family?" He asserted that goodness is news and could be made to be Intensely interesting news. Another large cause that the dally should champion is the question of the Sunday that America ought to have. Cash without character, he sald, was poverty; and the nation would not bave character unless it preserved a Christian Sabbath. The commercial interests of this republic, he sald, were playing to the tremendous Interests at stake in the matter of char- acter and moral growth of the people and the dally paper which acknowledged this fact and made it prominent would be the paper that should hold the place of the highest honor among the people who love the republie. He expressed the hope that in some way the Christian Endeavor organization would be the means of establishing s an organ for righteousness In more than onme great city in this country. The possibilities for such journallsm, he said, were big with Christian ambition. If the Christian young people would unite their efforts they could establish such papers In every large center of population and they would prove to be mighty sources of real power in shaping the future destiny of this re- public, The enthusiasm reached its helght after the adjournment, when the delegates and those present boarded their cars. They took possession and with bymns floating out into the night air were transported to thelr homes and domiciles, still singing, still enthusi Dixon on Saleon Problem, The meeting In the Auditorium Willlston was also an enormous one, nearly 4,000 at- tending. Rev. W. H. McMillan of Alle- gheny, Pa., presided, with H. Lincoln of Philadelphia musical director. P, B. Henson of Chicago, the first speaker, spoke on “The Power of the Pen.” Rev. Frank Saloon Problem of the T He said “The principle rational and just. 1t is this: Find out by patient, eclentific, impartial Investigaticn the burden of taxation and charges entalled by the saloon upon the community and bind that burden upon the back of the saloon even though it breaks (t. I the present Ileense 1s too high, 1t the saloon pava more into the public treasury than it takes out of the pockets of the sober pec of a community the saloon keeper is suffering Injuetice. His tax ought to be reduced. 1f the license {s not sufficient to pay the ex- penses which the public now bears through taxation and charges let it be raised to ute requisite point. This will have an elevat- ing offect upon the saloon keeper. He Ing effect greater self-respect by paying his own expenses. “This will be the solution of the problem of the twentieth century city. It will effective because 1t avolds the difficulties which have rendered temperance reforms bitherto so largely nugatory. It demol- ishes the strongholds within which men have hidden themselves. It will not drive them into the open, but it will com- pel them to part with the spoils they have wrested from the hands of industry. This solution will preserve the principle of per- sonal liberty and give it universal applica- tion. The liberty of the citizen who wishqs to Indulge his appetite Is not restricted, but the liberty of the sober man who does for which 1 contend is not wish to pay the bill of the drunkard ia | protected. It may eeem revolutionary to assert the rights of the sober, industrious man, but this man will make himself heard In the twentleth century.” There are 200 delegates at the German Endeavorers’ convention in the Zion Ger- man Evangelleal church. Among the speakers today were Anton Roesch of St Louls, Prof. W. F. W. Schneider of Berea, 0., and T. G. Retzler of St. Louls EUROPEAN CROP PROSPECTS Mark Lane Express Finds English Harvest Short and French Crop Overestimated. LONDON, July 8.—The Mark Lane Ex- press, in its weekly crop review today, eays it is doubtful if the recent rains will effect great “transformation ecenes” in the wheat crop of England. It thinks the yleld may reach an average of 28 bushels per acre. The Express considers that the enhanced price and big wekly market in Paris furnish evidence that the French farmers consider the government estimate being quite 10 per cent too high. The agricultural press puts the yleld at 35,000.000 auarters, 4,000,000 quarters below the government estimate. Spain 1s reaping a magnificent harvest, estimated at 12,500,000 quarters. The Itallan harvest promises to reach the full average and the Roumanian harvest je estimated at 9,000,000 quarters, leaving 3,000,000 avallable for export The spring wheat in Russia s less promising. In several provinces the winter wheat crop, however, s splendid, accord- ing to the moderate standard prevailing. Their rye will make an excellent haivest. The other autumn-sown crops are all above the average, but the epring barley and oats are below par. CONGRESS TALKS TOO LONG| Cramps Now Demand Pay for Time Lost While Walting Ship Armor. WASHINGTON, July 8.—The Navy depart- ment has been advised that the Cramps of Philad:Iptia have a claim of §264,000 agalnst the government for delay Incident to fur- nishing armor for the battleship Alabama, The delay was caused by the controversy in congress as to the quality of armor. Other claims will be made for delay in furnishing armor to other sh'ps. There was delay on the armor of the Ilinols, ' Wis- consin and three ships of the Maine class.

The first sesslon of the general body will not be held until tomorrow afternoon. At the afternoon session Elmer E. Brown of the University of California read a paper on “Educational Progress During the Past Year."” Elmer E. Brown of the University of California told of “Educational Progress During the Past Year. He sald The characteristic word of progress dur- ng the past year been expansion, Educational expansion has been th companiment of poiitical and indust - pansion. The great accumulators of wealth ave been giving largely to cducational institutions. These great benefactions have ralsed anew the question of liberty of teaching. It 18 commonly belfeved that in the Ross case at Stanford unlversity such liberty of teaching was abridged Bu {t should be remembered In all such cases that a university, llke other institutions, must take account of the co-operative uselul: ness of (ts members. It {s doubtful ix any gencral danger ttreatening real and academic freedom, The dis sclentific temperance Instruction has brought forward the question of freedom of teaching in another form. 'niversities are concerning themselves increasingly wi'h the selentific content of Instruction in the lower schools, and with the preparation of teachers for those schools, New educational movements in the south are closely bound up with political and In- dustrial chunges.

Dingler often talked about his many business failures and ex- pressed the bellef that he was born under an unlucky star and could never be sue- cesstul. He was ambitious, but handicapped by a meager education.
