in Pittsburg Pleads for
- End of Religious Fric-tion.
Pittsburg,- Nov. 16.- Unity In i
Uglous beliefs, which be did not wish to
.. be taken as a plea for a uniformity of
. "-creeds. iWM the toplo of an address do-

of the Ascension by Rabbi J. Leonard

Oceupany of the Christian pulpit by
-a rabbi la unique In the religious his
tory of Pittsburg, and a large congre
. ration filled the church to the doors to
thear him speak on his "Cooperative
, Creed for Christian and Jew."
In introducing Rabbi Levy the Rev.
- 'Tr. Albert O. Dlffenbach, pastor of the
" -Church of the Ascension, said that the
, 'time had come for the consideration of
the universal essentials of religion, and
that it was fit that the noted Jewish
, 'leader should be the speaker, because he
had taken such a prominent part in
- 'Interpreting religion in accord with the
'Catholic and cosmopolitan spirit of the
Jtirae.
, , Voices Demand for Unity.
In the course of - his remarks the
.rabbi aaid:
"I do not Indulge the belief that the
" time is at hand when men are about to
drop their sectarian differences and
,' dogmatic beliefs. "The era of synthesis
jnust be preceded by a long period of
-analysis. I recognize the need of dlf
' ferent party-alignments, and I realise'
' ;the necessity of variation of forms to
meet ihe requirements of - varying na--tures,
temperaments, tastes, states of
'education and civilisation -among men.
"Far be It from me to argue for uni
formity; such an appeal would be in j
direct opposition to tod'a law and the1
-methods of nature..
" "My emphasis is placed on unity, not
''uniformity.- Underlying all forms, be
neath all manifestations., there is an
eternal reality -essential truth. While
"'the- method of expressing that truth
may vary, there Is comparative una
nimity concerning the truth itself.
' "Jews and Christians believe In a
Ood, infinite and eternal. They accept
the binding character of the moral law.
; They agree on the duty of exercising
charity and the need of displaying af
fectionate justice toward all men. They
are at one In the belief that all men
are in cnuoren or Uod. They are at
one In their faith In the ultimate up
lift of mankind, for whom ail good men
should toil, and In, the hope of im-
"It ts true- that there are man-made
jewisn nies and ceremonies and forms
which do not anneal to Christians. It
is eauauy true tJiat tnera are Christian
creeaa ana dogmas which do not apnea
to Jews.: But in an age noted for eolen
lino advance and the ever-widening ap
plication of the scientlflo method it la
the better cart of wisdom, and of reli
gion, too, to accentuate the truths which
unite men rather than to dwell with
greatest insistence upon those ecclesi
astical, theological and creedal differ
ences which separate men."
"The latter are fences, and it la well
said that fences close out more than
they can close in: while the former are
bridires which enable men to hold free
and acceptable intercourse with one an
other, to go about doing good, and to
ate in ail good works which may
a the aeneral uullfL The fences
divide the community, only too often,
into warring-camps; the, bridges admit
the possibility of a fraternity which
ma v Derform the will of the universal
father. In reverence for God and love

IMPRESS DIED
BEFORE EMPEROR
Tokio So Reports, and Sur
mises That Both Were
Poisoned.
tUnited Puss teased Wire.)
Toklo, Nov.- 18. It was learned here
today from 'a high official source at
Pekln that, the dowager, empress of
China died suddenly ' last Saturday
morning at 2:30 o'clock and that the
death of the emperor occurred after the
death of the empress. .
The announcement was made by an
official of ' the Imperial government.
who stated that the dowager empress.
Tsze Hsi An, had died Saturday morn
Inn and that the emperor had died Sat
urday evening at I o'clock.
It Is strongly suspected here that
both the Chinese rulers were murdered,
either directly or by slow poisoning. It
is known that the emperor and the dow
ager empress had not been friendly for
ytmrm, eeuiuse 01 uie progressive tend
encies of the emperor. It Is thought
here that both rulers died as the result
of an elaborate web of Intrigue that has
been woven with Chinese patlenoe in
the celestial court for many years.
An Imperial edict issued today pro
claimed Prince Ch'un, the brother of
the dead emperor, regent of China, and
Pu Yi, his son, the emperor.
The Chinese press ts unanimous la
hoping for peace In China. ,
San Francisco, Cal., Nov. 18. Prince
Teal Fu, nephew of the late Emperor
Kwang Hsu, next in seniority for ele
vation to the imperial throne, lost his
opportunity to rule the Chinese nation
by accepting the post of envoy to Amer
ica in the commission of thanks for the
uplift by Jew and Christian could be
stated thus: In the love of God made
manifest by love of man, and in the
spirit of the masters of Holy Scripture,
I accept it as the essence of my duty
to do justice, to love mercy, and to
walk humbly with God.
' "Would, Diminish Friction,
fit Is not my hope that the Jew
should be less Jewish, but. more so.
It is not my aim that this, or any
other community, sheAild be less Chris
tian, but more so. - In the light of this
cooperative creed Jew and Christian
could walk, aide by side, working to
gether for good, inspired to mutual
service, united in every good cause
which of right appeals to the con
science and reason of the children of
the one Father eternal.
"Righteous living, and not speculative
philosophy,, icfthe end and aim of all
religion, and to this ideal such a creed
as that stated above would consecrate
men. : It would diminish the friction
which mow nullifies so much well-designed
' effort: it would combine the
faithful of all denominations In a con

would unite all religious persons in a

Whether Prince T'Sal was a victim-of

Denver, Colo., Nov. It. An effort to
have the federal government take a
hand in the bollermakers and machin
ists' strike on the Denver A Rio Orande
railroad by seeking the cancellation of
the mail contracts on the ground that
the railroads cannot maintain mail
train schedules, will be made by the
delegates to ths American Federation
of Labor convention here tomorrow or
Wednesday. It is stated that the bad
condition of the locomotives of the
Denver & Rio Orande due to the strike
makes It Impossible to maintain a
schedule In conformity with the mail
contract with the government, and the
postofflce authorities will bo asked to
cancel the contract.
The convention settled 'down to bard
routine business this morning, so that
a sine die adjournment can be taken
either Friday or Saturday.
Today's deliberations of the conven
tion will be devoted almost exclusively
to Jurisdictional disputes between or
ganizations belonging to the federation,
it Is probable that national officers
will be nominated Thursday. There is
no doubt that Gompera will be reelected.
The opposition to hlm has dwindled to
nothing. t
The talk of ousting Keefe of the
Longshoremen's union from the execu
tive board by eliminating him as vice-
? resident has been dropped. It la likely
hat nothing will be done in the mat
ter, as ,lt would force internal dispute
ana the delegates are anxious to avoid
such a move.
