a meeting of the striking car repaireis
of the Delaware, Lackawanna nnd

that If the company did not come to

would be extended on the line.
As given out, the progtamme is to

shop of the company nt East Buffalo,
and also tho switchmen In tho East
Buffalo yard. There wns also talk of
extending tho strike down the lino of

ON LONG ISLAND
A Scheme to Utilize the Facilities
Offered by the Coast for Lumber
Yards, Docks, etc.
Philadelphia, May 7. An executive
oflicer of the Pennsylvania railroad
this afternoon stated to the Associat
ed Press the object of that company
In acquiring the contiol of the Long
Island lallroad. The trattle of Brook
lyn, he said, with Its more than one
million Inhabitants, has been almost
enthel con lined to the Last liver
front. All of the freight biotight by i
the railway, h to th.it cltl, as well as
that tiken from theie for distribution
throughout the country has been car
ried on car floats or lighters between
tcimlnnl points of the different rail
ways and the piers and freight yaids
along the Kast river. Not only ate
theuc facilities limited and crowded,
but business and manufactutlng In
dustilcs have necessailly been con
fined to the very testtlcted dlstiict
along the water. On the other hand
the ttacks of the Long Island mil way
foim a belt line extending around the
outskiits of the built-up patt of
Biookljn from the Thli ty-fourth stieot
ferry to Bay Hidge, with lines Into the
vailous centius of the cltv. These
lines affoid the means of establishing
freight depots, yards for cniload dellv
etlrs. and coal and lumber jards con
veniently located and of unlimited cap
acity. They also afford oppoitunlty
which will no doubt be extensively
availed of, lor the erection of manu
factories of all Kinds lequiring direct
lallioad dhectlons. Finally connec
tions with the Long Island system will
be made at Bay Itldge by a compara
tively short cm -float feiry. Mean-
I while the present tiansfer barges at
Jetsey City will be used, but ultimate
ly a tunnel from Staten Island to Bay
Hldge may be built. In that case
trafllc between the Pennsylvania rall
load lines and New England would
pass through the tunnel nnd over tho
i Long, Island tiacks and the proposed
Ii(ge ;lt Wl,id'H Island to a connec-
Hon with the New Yoik, New Haven
anil Hartfoid railroad.
The Pennsylvania lallroad manage
ment believes that with the Impioved
communications between New York
and Long Island, which will bo mo
v Idcd by the proposed tunnel and the
bridge under construction and by oth
er mpld tianslt tunnels, that are sure
to follow, the business of the Long
Island lallroad will be largely In
creased and that by providing better
accommodations to the public and by
continuing the Improvement of the ser
vice under tho piogiesslve manage
ment of President Baldwin until It
reaches the highest modem standard,
the company will In time be placed
on a dividend paying basis, so that
their Investment In Its shates will be
directly profitable aside from the great
advantages that will be derived from
securing terminal facilities In Btook
ln. The Long Island lallway will
also deilve consldetablo revenue from
the movement of cats to and from
terminals which the Pennsylvania will
establish on Its line.
There has been no thought of using
Montauk Point, the olllclal concluded,
as a sailing port for steamers of the
Amctlcan line. As a matter of fact,
he said, the Pennsylvania Railroad
company Is not Interested as a share
holder or otherwise In the Intet na
tional Navigation company, or tho
"American Line" as it Is usually
called. It is not believed that pas
sengers would make the rail Journey to
Montauk Point to save two or three
houis at the most, when they can
much more eomfottably boaul the
steamers at the plots In New Yoik.

DR. PRICE ATTACKS.
PARAGRAPH "248"
UNLOOKED FOR QUESTION AT
METHODIST CONFERENCE.
Former Scrnnton Pastor Does Not
Believe in the Constitutionality of
the Amusement Clause Sessions at
Chicago Yesterday Full of Life nnd
Brisk Debate Violent Opposition
to Dr. Buckley's Resolution Con
cerning the Chiistian Advocate.
The Resolution in Favor of Indi
vidual Communion Cups Is Cried
Down.
Chicago. May 7. The session of the
Methodist General conference today
," lull 01 lire, oi nnsw aeonie ami
sonio reeling, avnere wns consii'iniiuun
among the delegates when It wns
learned that the IXUlv Christian Ad
vocate had been hawked about on Sun-
days. There was violent opposition to
Dr. J. M. Buckley's resolution, direct
ing that all at tides on controversies
under discussion by the conference be
eliminated from the Dally Advocate,
and a resolution by former Congress
man M. W. Johnson, of North Dakota,
giving the approvul of the conference
to the use of Individual communion
cups was oiled down without the for
mality of n discussion.
Dr. Buckley's jesolutlon, concerning
the suppression of tettaln articles, was
passed by a oto of 323 to 27'l. but not
untll several delegates had expicssed
themselves very fteely.
"The humble delegates want all the
light on the subjects they can get."
said Delegate Hammll, of Illinois,
leader of the opposition to the resolu
tion. Dr. John Lenahan, of Baltimore, re
marked that the editors were so used
to suppressing things In their paper
that they want to suppress the whole
confetence A dozen others spoke In a
similar strain A motion to table the
tesolutlon wns lost, and following this
the icsolutlon was passed.
An attack on the amusement clause
In the book of discipline was made In
an unlooked for way by Dr. J. L Tilce,
of New York, dining the session Ho
questioned the constitutionality of the
amusement paragraph "i4S," and asked
that the committee on Judicial v look
Into the matter.
In explanation. Dr. Pi lee said "I do
not believe the paiagraph Is eonslitu-
tlonal because It Is a Judicial y ruling,
but was not delivered In a case on
tilal. The paragraph was adopted in
1872, and not as the lesult of a trial "
Among the more Important matters
brought bcfoio tho conference wcie the
following:
By II, T. Ames, of the Cential Penn
sylvania conference A memoilal modi
fying the amusement clause In tho book
of discipline.
By Rev. W. IT. Cardwardlne. of Chi
cago -A meniorlnl. signed by foitj-two
members of his church, asking that the
amusement clasc be allowed to stand
as at present.
By Delegate D. K. Aekeiman, of Ala
bama A icsolutlon directing the com
mittee on episcopacy to report, not liter
than May 12, whether any bishops
should be elected at this conference,
and If so, h'ow manv. This was adopt d
Mr. Ames' memorial was lefeued to
the committee on rev Isals, while that
of Rev Mr. Carwnrdine, bearing on the
same, question, was given to the com
mittee on the state of the church.
May Merge the Deaconesses.
The appointment of a committee of
fifty to Investigate the deaconess work
of the chinch will, It is expected, le
sult In a consolidation of the two
blanches of deaconesses which divide
between them the Methodist field. One
of these blanches Is under the super
vision of tho Woman's Home Mission
ary society of the church and the other
Is directed by the Methodist Kplscopal
Deaconesses' society.
In both, however, the deaconesses do
piactlcally the same work, and In both
the woikets ate tinder the supei vision
of the annual conferences of .tlio
Methodist chuich on the same teims.
NEW DEVELOPMENT
IN RAILROAD WAR
The Ontario and Western, It Is An
nounced, Will Build Their Pro
posed Line to Kingston and Ron-
dout.
New Yoik, May ".Another develop
ment In the tight between the Indepen
dent coal operators and the anthracite
coal combine over the construction of
the Delaware Valley and Kingston
railroad came today In the announce
ment by tho New York,Ontatio and
Western railroad that It proposed to
go ahead with the building of tho
Kingston and Rondout Valley road
This latter Is the piojected railway
which, at the hearing before the state
railroad commissioners, was character
ized ns a "road on paper." without a
terminal in Kingston or Rondout, and
without the possibility, according to
-witnesses, of obtaining direct terminal
facilities ut those points.
The road was chartered In 1897 and
lay dormant until the Independent coal
operators, through tho Pennsylvania
Coal company, acquit e J tho abandoned
Delaware and Hudson canal, when It
was revived In an effort to defeat the
Delaware Valley and Kingston scheme.
It Is stated In fact to have been char
tered originally for the purpose of
blocking ihe Independents in tho real
ization of their dream of their own
toad to tidewater, and credit is lent
to this belief from the fact thut af
ter obtaining Its charter no attempts
to construct It wore made until the
present time.

COUNTERFEITING
CONSPIRACY
Another Feature of the famous Lan
caster Case Made Public by the Ar
lest of Harry Taylor.
Philadelphia, May 7. Another fea
tuie of the famous Iincaster counter
feiting conspiracy was made public to
day by the an est ot Hairy Taylor,
charged with passing the counterfeit
twenty dollar notes found In circula
tion last week Taylor was captured
by Matthew S Grillln of the seciet ser
vice, nnd when confronted with the
evidence of his guilt, confessed his pait
In the conspiracy. He was given i
heating before United States Comtnis
slonet Edmunds, and committed In de
fault of $10,000 ball for trial. Taylor
admitted having passed nil the spuri
ous notes of the Manning head denomi
nation recently dlscoveicd In this city,
and his confession brought out a te
maikable attempt to hoodwink the
government.
Harry Talor Is u bi other of Arthur
Taylor, who Is now awaiting sentence
for having engiaved the cigar levenue
stamps und the famous counterfeit
Monroe head one hundred dollar silver
cettiflcate, which resulted In the airest
of Jacobs and Kendig, tho Lam-aster
cigar manufacturcrs.and Jlleiy P. Ing

United States dlstiict attorney and as
sistant, respectively.
About tvvo weeks ngo It was dlscov
eicd that a countcifelt $20 note was
in cii dilation and the secret service
depaitment began nn Investigation. As
a lesult Harry Taylor was at rested
todaj and admitted having "floated"
tho false, notes. Ohio f Wltkie and
Opeiatlve Burns, of the secret ser
vice, accompanied by United Statei
District Attornev Be k. then visited
the founty pilson and had an Inter
view wiih Arthur T.ivlnr and Baldwin
S. Bredell, who assisted Taylor In
engravinr the counterfeit cigar stamp
and thf Monioc head hundred-dollar
note These tvvo admitted having en
giaved the Manning head twenty-dol-lnr
notes and said they had Induced
Hnny Taylor to circulate them. About
110 notes were stiuek ok' and of this
numb'M Taylor had passed In tne '
neighborhood of -fl. The remainder,
he "aid. he hid dtstroved.
Chief Wllkle, In speaking of the ar
lest, said. "This was a scheme on
the part of Taylor and Bredell to
bring the government to teims and
was the result of the advice of some
disreputable law vet. The idea that af
ter the notes wete circulated to wait
until near th" time for sentencing Tay
lor and Bredell and then for tho lat
ter to Inform the government that
they could tuinlsh them with plates
of which the secret service knew noth
ing i heir object wis to secure a
lighter sentence."
Chief AVIIkie said the lawyer In
question was ptobably guilty of con
spiracy to obstliict justice, but would
not otate whpther any othr artests
would follow.

GOMPERS' ADVICE
TO CIGARMAKERS
Tells Them Not to Hesitate to Dis
regard the Injunction Issued by
Judge Freedman.
New Yoik, May 7 Samuel Gompers,
president of the Federation of Labor,
addresbcd the striking cigar makers In
Bohemia hall today and advised them
to disregard the Injunction Issued by
Judge Fteedman, which prohibits them
from picketing or attempting in any
way to deter otheis from taking their
places and enjoining sympathbers
from giving financial aid for the pur
pose of continuing the strike. Before
the meeting, Mr. Gompers said:
"I have ah eady glvm $i for the ex
press purpose of continuing this strike.
I am not gh lng any one orders to do
anything that I am not perfectly will
ing to do mvself."
In his speech, Mr. Gompers said:
"Judgo Freedman had no right to
Issue this Injunction. He may have
been Imposed upon, but ,as this in
junction Is Illegal and unconstitutional
ou may disregard It. Go right on
with sour stilke. They cannot stop
you from contributing money to main
tain the strike or support the pickets.
Keep tight ui with our fight for prin
ciples. The manufacturers tely on
their wealth and Inlluence with the
couits to defeat this stilke. This In
iunctlon will be tested In the couits
and you will find that It will be decld-
ed that Judge Freedman had no right
to do as he haa done.
Mr. Gompers declared that rather
than obey Justice Freedman's injunc
tion, he "would gladly, freely, willingly
lay down the little life ho had left."
