Mr. Sproule Says Company Is
as Anxious as People, bnt
Cannot Find Means.
LEAN YEARS STILL FELT
Question of Financing Betterments
13 Serious One Condition Is
General 'With. All Roads
' of Cnlted States.
SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 16. (Special.)
Returning- today from the Klamath
Falls country, where, with Herbert
Kleischhacker. he made a personal in
spection of proposed Southern Pacific
extensions, for which surveys have
been made for some time, William
Sproule. president of the Southern
Pacific, said today that it was only the
unsatisfactory earnings during- the past
few years of all railroads, including
the Southern Pacific, that made such
extensions at present impossible.
"To those people," said Mr. Sproule.
"I could only say what has been nec
essary for all railroad men all over the
country to say during the last few
years, which was that our desire to
extend into the new territory was no
less than their desire to have us ex
fend. I regretfully told them that the
.Southern Pacific Company was unable
to do any new construction work at the
present time.
"I said that there had been a succes
sion of years immediately preceding
the Exposition of 1913 wherein rail
road earnings had been extraordinar
ily low and that the first ray of sun
light had shone during the Exposition,
"with an added ray given at the closing
of the Panama Canal. If these pres
ent conditions continued four or five
years more, I told them that there
would be a vast deal of new construc
tion and that many of the present plans
of the railroads would be carried out.
Our sympathies are with the people up
there, particularly around Klamath
Falls."
when he quoted a churchman as saying
that there "need be no fear of it, "for
money loses all personality when it
goes into the church's pension fund."
New Hnu la Permitted.
A report of a joint session, recom
mending the permissive use of a new
hymn in the service, was adopted by
the house of deputies. In submitting
the report, Robert C. Pruyn, of Albany,
N. Y.. asserted that while every man
has his favorite hymn, it was neces
sary In the Interest of conciseness, to
cut. the number of hymns from the 679
contained in the old hymnal to 650.
Many hymns were discarded because
they are no longer used, said the report.
Social Service Training; Favored.
It also is recommended that the
"amen" be omitted at the conclusion
of all hymns except those directly of
prayer or praise, and 'that in hymns
the word "Jesus" be substituted for all
the old form "Jesu."
The house of bishops today adopted a
resolution for the appointment of a
commission of four bishops, four
clergymen and four laymen to conduct
a propaganda for parochial missions
and for the training of men for social
service work.
The house of deputies Toted for the
appointment of a commission of three
bishops. . three clergymen and- three
laymen to consider the Christianlzatlon
of Africa.
The deputies voted to adjourn finally
October 28. This resolution is subject
to approval by the house of bishops.

Departures Account for Failure ef
New York Registration Prophecy.
NEW TORK. Oct. 16. Although the
registration of 738,710 voters in New
York City .exceeded last year's record
by 70.S99. the predictions of political
leaders were not fulfilled. The com
plete registration figures now avail
able show a' gain of 33,424 over the
registration for the last Presidential
election in 1912.
Politicians have prophesied that a
total of 750.000 to 800,000 would be
ettained. One reason given for the
failure to reach these figures is the
return to Europe of many men of
foreign birth.

BRIDGEPORT, Cal.. Oct. 16. (Spe

against the payment of S5911 awarded
to the widow of Sheriff James Dolan,
who was killed in a fight with Mexi
cans, by the Industrial Accident Com
mission of California, seeks to have
the compensation law declared uncon
stitutional. Two other Issues are raised Is the
Sheriff an employe of the county within
the meaning of the legislative act? '
What is the proper etiquette for a
sheriff when faced by loaded rifles?
The Commlsston'a award of $5911 to
Sheriff Dolan's widow was accompanied
by a finding that the two Mexican
bandits attacked and threatened"
ranches in July, last year, that a call
for Sheriff Dolan to "come and get
them" finally reached him soon after
midnight, that he kissed his wife good
bye, climbed into a motor car and dis
appeared and never returned alive.
His chauffeur testified he was shot by
the bandits.

Quartet Convicted of Inciting: Mlnera to
Quit Work Case Will Be Argued
Again at This Term.
"WASHINGTON, Oct. 16. The Su
preme Court today refused to review
the convictions of four labor leaders
in the 1913 West Virginia coal strike
who were sentenced to six months im
prisonment for contempt of court in
failing to obey an injunction by a Fed
eral District Judge.
The cases are another outcrop of
litigation in connection with Judge
ayton s decree that United Mine work
ers was an unlawful conspiracy in its or
ganization and operation. The defend
ants were members of the union and
were found guilty of Inciting miners
to leave or refuse employment. Their
conviction was affirmed by the Federal
Circuit Court of Appeals on the theory
that Judge Dayton s decree against the
United Mine Workers was valid.
The case is set for reargument be

present term.

gospel, their widows and orphans, out
of the sphere of doles, to the sphere
of self-respect through payments as
systematic and well-earned as sala
ries." Discussion of pensions for the clergy
brought to light the fact that for many
years the salaries of missionary bishops
hae been J3000 annually. A resolu
tion presented by Rev. William M.
Orosvenor. of New York, and adopted
by the house of deputies, instructed the
board of missions to consider the sala
ries of these bishops and of mis
sionaries in "the light of the constantly
Increasing cost of living" before fixing
their future compensation.
Btahop Sumner Urges Action.
Urging the support of the church to
the pension fund for the clergy, .Right
Rev. Walter T. Sumner, bishop of Ore
gon and formerly dean of St- Peter and
Paul Cathedral, Chicago, likened the
church to an employer and the clergy
to the workmen. "The time is past
when the employer feels his obligation
is discharged with the payment of
wages," he said. "He realizes he owes
a social and moral responsibility to his
employes. As a result we have indus
trial insurance and old-age pensions.
Our church owes the pension to its
workmen, the clergy. It's only a matter
of social Justice."
"If you pension the ministers," said
Mitchell Smith, of Ne.w York, "they
will live longer, more 6f them will get
married and they will rear larger fami
lies." George Wharton- Pepper, of Philadel
phia, said that "nothing pulls a man
down so much as the apprehension of
future incapacity."
Francis L. Stetson, of New Tork. who
presided, referred to "tainted" money

ington, Oct. 16. Argument was sub
mitted to the Interstate Commerce
Commission today on the complaint of
the Public Service Commission of Wash
ington against the Alabama & Vicks
burg and other carriers, involving the
Portland gateway 917.50 differential in
round-trip transcontinental tickets.
Counsel for the Southern Pacific ar
gued that to force that road to make
through rates and Joint fares via Port
land at the same rate as via other
gateways is beyond the power of the
Commission, because such a through
rate would contain less than substan
tially the whole line of the Southern
Pacific.
C. A. Reynolds, of Seattle. In behalf
of the Public Service Commission, ar
gued that the Southern Pacific is mak
ing the discrimination in fare for no
other purpose than to confine the tour
ist business to California resorts.

BLOOD LUST FEARED

Whetted by Lynching.
TWO NEGROES ARE HANGED
One Accused or Attack on Woman,
Other of Having Expressed Sym

Afterward Burned.
PADUCAH, Ky.. Oct. 16 On the
heels of two lynchinga here today.
Paducah prepared for possible further

extra peace officers.
The authorities. It was said, reared
the lust for blood among the employes
f a lame railroad might be whetted
bv the summary execution- during the
day of two negroes whose bodies after
ward were burned. One of them was
charged with attacking the wife of one
of the employes: the other expressed
sympathy for him and, it was said.
praised his act.
One was taken from the County Jail
and the other was seized on the streets.
Followed by a crowd estimated at 6000
persons, a large part of them in auto
mobiles, the negroes were taken to the
home of the woman, about two miles
away. While one of them was held for
identification the other was taken to a
tree, a rope thrown over a limb, his
neck encircled in a noose and an auto
mobile hitched to the other end.
As soon as the other negro had been
identified as the assailant of the
woman he was led to the same tree and
the process repeated. After assuring
themselves that both negroes were
dead the members of the mob lowered
the bodies and burned them on a
blazing pile of brush.
The lynchlngs were the outcome of
an attack made Friday on Mrs. George
Rose at her home in the suburbs. The
mob gathered about 7 o'clock after
hearing that the police had arrested
Brock Kenley, a negro, about 35 years
old. The mob demanded the prisoner
and brushed aside the police reserves
who had been sent to the scene. The
pleas of officials were ignored. They
battered down the Jail door, but found
that the prisoners had been locked In
