LOOKING IX)K SUSPECTS <t>
El Paso is about to engage in a new
church building campaign similar to
the one had five years ago when all
the prominent Protestant congrega-
tions with the exception of the First
liaptist acquired new sites and built
handsome structures on the north
side. Since that time a number of
new congregations among the Protest-
ant churches have been formed, which
have grown from small gatherings to
popular churches, and now these are
about to increase the quarters that
they have in order to accommodate
their rapidly growing membership.
Calvary Baptist Church.
The lirst among these new urrivals
to decide to build is the Calvary Bap
list church, which is now quartered
in a frame building which they built
two years ago on the corner of Mon-
tana and North Virginia streets. At
a meeting of the congregation of the
church a short time ago it was de-
cided to build a commodious modern
church building, since their Sunday
school had increased from a dozen or
so four years ago to In the neighbor-
hood of 200 and to the membership
of 250. With these numbers in view
(lie present edifice is totally inade-
quate, hence the decision.
A building committee was appointed
composed of C, M. Newman, T. M.
Jones, A. S. Howard, C. V. Nafe and
tho pastor, Kev. If. T. Hanks, who
have been engaged in the matter of
raising funds for the past month. Al-
though it is not proposed to break
ground for tho new building until the
spring, plans have already been laid
looking to the raising of the greater
(fart of the amount required before
Hint time, so that the bugbear of small
ci ngregatlons, and often of city
churches, the church debt, shall not
lie heavy upon tho membership, and
so that tho responsibility for the
amount that may be left unpaid shall
not he assumed by tho faithful few.
In short,' this church is going to be
built upon a systematic business plan.
To that end each and every depart
ment of the church and Sunday school
has already been divided into the
parts host able to cope with the sit-
uation, tho division ofthis most im-
portant labor has already been made,
and tho work of raising the funds Is
jioiv pingresslng in a very satisfae-
tory*T1WTmer.
Tho Sunday school, under the su-
perlntendency of C. V. Nafe, who is
recognized all over tho country as an
able leader In Sunday school work, is
regularly divided into the following
departments: The primary depart-
ments, the King's Messengers, the
Master Workers, the Philnthea. and
the Baracas. Tho other departments
of the church, the B. Y. P. IT., of
which there are 52 members, and the
l.adles’ Aid society, of which there
are 50 members, have also undertaken
cheerfully their part of the task.
It has been resolved that the new
building, which is to cost about $50,-
000, shall be modern and up to date
in every particular, with a seating ca-
pacity combining the Sunday school
rooms arid the church proper, ot
1 500 persons. There will be no base-
ment, all of the departments l>eing
upon the one floor. It is hoped to be
able shortly alter,the finishing of the
edifice to install a large pipe organ
so that the musical side of the ser-
vice shall not want for attraction.
It is intended that the interests of
the young people shall not be neg-
lected and to that end class rooms
xenarate and apart will he provided.
Westminster Presbyterian.
Not for fear of being outstripped
by neighboring congregations, nor for
the pride that comes from a line edi-
fice in which to conduct their wor-
ship, hut because the growth of the
membership demands it, the West-
minster Presbyterian church, the lo-
cal branch of the Southern Presbyte-
rian church, has decided to build and
equip a thoroughly modern church
on the corner of North Florence and
Hio Grande streets. The entire prop-
erty. that which Is now occupied by
the present church building and the
adjoining corner lots are already the
property of the church, free of debt,
making one of the handsomest build-
ing sites In the entire city.
It is prposed to erCct a building on
that property that will cost $40,000,
to be built of pressed brick with stone
lacings. The Westminster congrega
tion now numbers 200 members and
though temporarily without the ser-
vices of a regular pastor, the organi-
zation is not deterred by any means
and is going ahead perfecting the
plans for the church. The building
committee is composed of the follow
iug well known business and profes-
sional men: Bradford Hardie, J. G.
Lowmun, W. H. I.oretz, Dr. Jerome D.
l.ove, I,. C. Caspar!, Dr. J. L. Mo-
Knight. J. H. Grant ami l)r. F. s.

Dishonest Methods in
the Campaign
Associated Press Dispatch.
Oswego, N. Y.. Oct. 26.—Judge Al-
ton B. Parker, in a political speech
here tonight, referred at length to
Colonel Roosevelt's remarks concern-
ing “the alleged political circular, a!
ieged to have been mailed by some-
body in Tammany hall to some allog
ed persons in Wall Stareet.” Quoting
Mr. Roosevelt, Judge Parker said:
‘This is what our colonel says:
‘Now, one of the honest men of Wall
Street has sent me a letter, and In It
he has put one of the circulars sent
out by Tammany Hall to the Wall
Street ticker crowd. The circular
says that this campaign more than
any other will affect the business of
the financial interests and every Wall
Street man ought to give It serious
thought.'
"Observe in passing that the colonel
admits that there is one honest man
in Wall Street. So that will make,
two honest men in this state that this
campaign has thus far developed.
Possibly, with accustomed modesty,
he told you when here today who the
other one was.
"The colonel is unusually disturb
ed. He would make a legitimate ap-
peal for the funds needed for the legi-
timate expenditures of a campaign
'the issue of the hour' a vital issue,
as he puts it. No, that won't do. No-
body will take that seriously. Every-
body knows by this time that tho

Speaking of the charge that Mr.

"Mr. Dix »?ks for an apology from

self into this, 'Don't do as I do, but
do as I tell you,' The king can do no
wrong.' Is this waging a decent cam-
paign for decency?
' With that same disregard for fact,
the colonel has declared that the
Democratic party of Connecticut has
nominated for governor a former
Judge (Simon E. Baldwin), who was
a man who took the view that it was
competent for the workman, to ac-
cept any employment, to hind himself
not to lie compensated If he lost life

“The colonel would also steal
Judge Baldwin’s good name away

Associated Press Dispatch.
Chicago, Oct. 26—Rebating as prac-
ticed by the carriers and shippers
prior to 1906 and the passage of the
Hepburn uct, was the principal theme
at the afternoon session of the West-
ern freight rate hearing today berhre
tlie interstate commerce commission.
At one time the cross examination,
which in the morning had been con-
cerned with the burden ol work borne
by farmer hoys in Iowa veered around
to a special demand for the names of
the officials and shippers concerned
in rebating before 1906, of which the
witness, W. P. Triekett, of Minneapo-
lis, said he had personal knowledge.
Attorneys for the shippers protested
thatthe desired information was not
material, that the commission in a
number of cases was informed of the
practice of rebating, lint the counsel
for the railroads stuck to his question.
The witness dodged the issue by de-
clining to give the names.
Would Write Information.
"I will not give in public the names
of the officials of the Great Western
railroad who gave the rebate nor of
the shippers who received It,” said Mr.
Triekett. "I cannot—two of them
have passed on. f can' give you con-
tracts showing rebates, or I can com-
ply with the suggestion that 1 give
you the information in writing, but
I must decline to name them from
the stand.”
The demand was pressed no fur-
ther by Attorney J. B. Payne, general
counsel for the Chicago Great West-
ern.
The question of rebates came up'In
connection with the preceding witness,
II. G. Wilson, transportation commis-
sioner of the Kansas City Commer-
cial e.lub.
30 Per Cent Bchaics.
In enumerating different advances
in rates since 1901, Mr. Wilson testi-
fied that In 1906, after the passage of
the Hepburn act, freight rates wire
advanced and be estimated that prior
to then rebates on many articles
transported from the Atlantic sea-
board to Missouri river points amount-
ed to 40 per cent of the regular tar-
iffs. Mr. Wilson testified that he had
no personal knowledge of rebates and
could give no specific instances.
Mr. Triekett, who is executive man-
ager of the Minneapolis traffic asso-
ciation, agreed with Mr. Wilson in the
40 per cent rebate estimate and de-
clared that he had personal knowledge
of the giving of rebates, in some in-
stances having acted for the carrier,
in others for the shipper, and in
others for both carrier and shipper
Personal Knowledge.
"Are you speaking of your own per-
sonal participation in this rebating.'”
asked Attorney Payne.
am," wits the reply of Mr, Tricks
ett.
"Can you give a specific instance?"
was next asked.
i can, in which I noted for the
Great Western road."
"Give that specific instance.”
Commissioner I-ane suggested that
the Instance might be submitted in
writing to Attorney Payne.
Attorney Payne insisted on a spe-
cific answer until the-positive, refusal
to testify was returned.
In addition to bringing up the sub-
ject of rebates Mr. Wilson introduced
tabulations showing increases in the
minimum weight of carload lots
which he contended operated to the
disadvantage ol some shippers; of
changes in classification of commod-
ities and of advances In oornmodit>
freight rates.
Advanced Rates.
Mr. Triekett also introduced statis-
tics showing advances in freight rales
to and from Minneapolis and Ft, Paul,
“for the first time in its history the
western trunk lines Committee, early
this year, in arranging a re. Won ol
trelght rates, included inbound and
outbound freight of tin- Twin cities,"
said Mr. Triekett.
Time for analysis of tie tabula-
tions of the alleged advances was al-
lowed the railroad attorneys.
Shortly before adjournment E. J.
McVann, manager ot the traffic bu-
reau of the Omaha Commercial club,
was invited to the stand. After de-
tailing his railroad experience, which
begun in 1885, Mi McVann suld that
he had heard the testimony of F, E.
Ward, general manager of the Chi-
cago, Burlington and Quincy, who h-
said placed lie reproduction value of
■ the lands owned by the railroad at
$150,000,000
"I paid particular attention to his
testimony relative to tne reproduction
value of the Omaha terminal lands of
the railroads which he placed, I think,
at $3,200,000." said Mr McVann. "I
have investigated and have found
that the assessment of the Burlington
road on (he Omaha terminal lauds
this year was $831,205."

Post had established a remarkable
world’s record for distance.
Mr. Dozier expressed the opinion
that the America H must have cov-
ered nearly 1000 miles in less than 25
hours, because the balloon was last

AVIATORS
STRIVE FOR
NEWRECORDS
But There Was Nothing Do-
ing in That Line at
Belmont Park
TWELVE MEN IN
THE AIR AT ONCE
Latham Won the Distance
Event and Hoxsey Went
the Highest
Aanociatcd Prcrx Dispatch.
New York, Oct. 26,—When du*k
hi'Wtn to fettle un the aviation field
at Belmont I’ark thlx afternoon there
\ver*‘ twelve aeroplanes In tho air at
eare and when night shut down two
of them were still lost in the blade
void above.
There was no moon und tt was l>y
the almost impereeptiblo glow of the
stars that the two nvlators, Hoxsey
and Johnstone, were first sighted,
winning their way book to earth. Both
alighted safety in midfield, within u
few moments of one another.
'I don't know how high I was,”
said Johnstone, "hat if I wasn't higha*
up than Hoxsey I'll never trust a bar-
ograph again ' 1 stayed tip there tllj
f saw Inin start down and then L
stayed up some more to make sure
twice," he was shivering, for thougIT
there had been no frost above the
clouds today, he said he found th®
upper airs even colder than they had
been yesterday when a blinding snow-
storm drove him from a plucky fit
tempt for a new world’s altitude rec-
t) rd.
But Johnstone was mistaken, ills
barograph registered only 6,76:1 fe.et
against 6.172 for Hoxsey.
Cross Country Ifaee.
Five starters were announced In a
toss-nountry rats'* to a captive bal-
loon ten miles east of the course ami
return and four started. Latham In
a 50 horsepower Antoinette was *t#c
first to cross the line and he fled
down the wind like a dart, in the
bright sunshine he was long vlslhUy,
DYNAMITE ALDERMAN'S HOME,
Associated Press Dispatch,
Cheyenne. Wyn., Get. 20. An at-
tempt was made last nighl to blow up
the house of Alderman Albout Thom-
as In the town of Hartvltle, near
here, Dynamite placed at the rear
door shattered the poteh, windows
and furniture, hut Alderman Thom- f
as, his wife and child were uninjured. j|
Aubrun followed him and after Au-
brun, ltrexol and LeHlane, captain of
the French team, both In Blhriots.
This wan the first appearance of Leg
Blanc, the "schoolmaster of the air "
Both Aubrun and Ora ha me-White
and tnnny other notable aviators are
Ills pupils.
His airmanship seemed splendid as
he shot low before the,grandstand on
an even keel, straight for Ihe mark;
hilt Scholar Aubrun heal the master
and the other contenders In 28 min-
ute*?, s.75 seconds.
I ■ it ham finished 111 22 minutes 14.71
seeotid.'i His spaed down the wind
in the first leg was prodigious. The
timer at Hie balloon reported that
he covered the ten miles and passed
the mark outbound in eight minutes.
Later records showed that Aubrun
did file same distance In seven min-
utes. The figures are unofficial and
inexact, lull they amazed those who
heard them Drexel was third In tho
event in slow lime and LeBlano re-
turned without covering the entire
course.
Ills! a nee and Altitude.
The cross country race Had barely
'"’gun when eight men went out for
distance and ivlo for allltude. Thut
made ten, and two of the cross coun-
m fliers were still to return—tus$\o
in the nir at nnee.
Brooking, driving the "baby"
"'right racer, made up all the dls-
'anc he had lost in starling late anil
’"on led the field by two laps. It
was the first chance there has been
to measure the possibilities of the
Wright speeder 'In competition ftnd
the stands were, delighted to see him
lap, ills rivals repeatedly.
"no and another of the competitors
dropped out anil the field narrowed
down to Farntbe ,,r the Wright team,
in his first appearance, Brookins tn
tlie Wright racer and Latham who
hud immediately entered tho distance
on his return from the cross-country
rae, Brookins dropped out for no
apparent reason and left first place
sale |,,r Latham who had no trouble
in lapping the standard Wright bi-
plane and finished one round to the
good.
Hoxsey and Johnstone were striv-
ing-to out-soar each other. Workers
in the Wright quartern poured out
little puddles of gasoline on the field
and lighted them for torches. Guided
b> the flames and hv the twinkling
of the brilliant gas lamps in front ot
Be- hangars, they found their tvnv
home.
Elimination Trials.
The Gordon Bennett elimination
trials scheduled for this afternoon
were repeatedly announced and post-
poned and finally were set for to-
morrow morning at 9 o’clock. Ham-
t um Moisant, the Wright brothers
und Glenn 14. Curtiss made vigorous
protests. Nine o'clock is the very
worst time in the day to fly,” they
told the aviation committee, "tho
wind always blows at 9 o’clock "
Heedful of this formidable protest
Ho- committee compromised and
agreed to commence the trials at 9
omorrow but as a saving clausa
which permits any aviator to start
when he chooses, provided only that
he shall finish before r,:20 in thn
afternoon. This concession provoA
satisfactory. Moisant will enter in tho
elimination trials tomorrow as also In
the special flight lor $10,9(1(1 to tho
Matue of Liberty in New York har-
bor and return.
