TO PREACHERS
DECLARES THEY SAY SOME
QUEER THINGS -
CRITICISES DR. GLADDEN
Says Deacons of the Church Would
Sreak Some of the Command.
ments and Bend the
Rest
By AMOclattd Pr*se.
NEW YORK, March 31.— 1f. H. Rop
ers, vice president and director of tho
Standard Oil company, today made a
statement as to the conduct of tho
• Standard Oil company. Ills remarks
were evidently prompted by the criti
cism In the prudential committee of the
American Board of Foreign Missions
for accepting a gift of $100,000 from
John I). Rockefeller. Mr. Rogers said:
„' 'Ministers say queer things. Dr.
Washington Gladden says that every
body knows that John D. Rockefeller
has obtained his money dishonestly.
With as much reason I could say that
everybody knows that Dr. Gladden
would not trust the ten commandments
for ten days with the deacons of his
church, because they would surely
break some of them and bend the rest."
It became known today that prior to
■• the final action by the prudential com
mittee of the American board of com
' mlssioners of the foreign missions ln
accepting the $100,000 gift tendered by
John D. , Rockefeller a number of
prominent members of the board at a
.''meeting, held In Now York city con
,; sidcred the matter at length. As a re
.nult the parties to the conference ls-
Hued a statement In which they de
' dared they did not feel that the uc
; ceptance of the gift would compromise
the board in any way. '
STATEMENT BY GLADDEN
Declares That Oil Trust's Money Waa
"Flagitiously" Acquired
By Associated Press.
V COL.UMBUS, 0., March 31. — Dr.
• Washington Gladden, moderator of the
, •: council of Congregational. churches of
,I Ttfrv United' States, tonight gave out
'.r«Uvv following rpply to the statement
*jjjilis£S' ■■''.'•. Ji'o^ith, vicu pfeßldejittpf ithe'
".' HUikdnrd 'Oil* company: „ . ' ..,.,■
-"Mr. Rogers alleges that the vast
I sums extorted in . rebates by the
; 1 Standard Oil company, from its com
,.;* pptirot^ wore 'legally' taken because no
,- law explicitly forbade them. What I
; siild- w;ia that the money was 'flagl
' tjously' acquired. To coerce the rail
.'road Into an arrangement by which it
, •■■^'received, a large rebate oil /lot only ita
H| own oil, but on all the oil sent by its
„;; competitors, to force the railways to
. rob its competitors for its enrichment
was, I submit, a flagitious policy, a
•shameful policy.
'^ ,"I ■ know from statements made to
I myself by parties Implicated that such
rebates have been exacted by other
:, corporations. I doubt If the Standard
Oil company is more virtuous than th«
: ; rest. But it is true that it has now
'' gained a power ln the classification
viand; control of rates which makes It
'-.unnecessary to use the system of re

mary removal of SecretHry J. It. Strlne
of the textbook committee i and the
chnrge innde by Strlne's friends that
he had been sacrificed to the personnl
antipathy of Superintendent of Public
Instruction Kirk.
Strlne refused to talk to any great
extent for publication, but said that
he had no Intimation that his poslton
was to be declared vacant until action
wns taken at the meeting, und that he
believed thit Superintendent Kirk was
moved by personal spite. He says that
when he asked for an explanation he
was Informed his removal was due to
a desire to maintain harmony ln the
committee. fc'n
He admits that on Hcvcral occasions
Kirk had informed him that his con
fidential reports were not to his
(Kirk's) liking.
Strlne's friends, however, say that
the differences between Kirk and
Strlne arose over the books offered by
an agent named Gunn, for which Kirk
had a particular fondness, In which
Strine did not share and against which
he firmly maintained opposition^ This
difference grew until it became neces
sary to choose between Kirk or Strlne,
nnd the other two members of the
committee concluded to oust Strlne.
. Kirk Is reported to have, made the
statement that Strine was removed
because of a shortage in the book fund,
but an examination shows that there
is more than $40,000 in the fund.
[ Governor Pardee assured Strlne that
there had been no charges, express or
Implied, made against his integrity or
ability. • Kirk Is atosent from the city
and no reply can be, obtained from him
as to the alleged diff erence over Gunn's

RUSSIAN CHURCH
WANTS FREEDOM
CLERGY URGE SEPARATION
. FROM THE STATE
WOULD CONCENTRATE WORK
Must Be Unhampered by Internal
Influence If They Are to Check
the Spread of Other
Faiths
Tiy Asrcctfltv! tYMft
ST. PKTKUSBUKO. April I.— A
movement for severing tho traditional
relations between church nnd stnte
found fnvor with an I Important group
of clergymen at the capital, and a
noteworthy document setting forth
their views has been received with
sufficient consideration to Insure Its
publication In the official organ of the
dloceae.
The document, nfter arguing thnt the
church should free Itself of obligations
to the state In order to 1 lend all Its en
ergies to the prosecution of its own
special work, demands the summon
ing of a general council of the church.
It Is reported that the holy synod has
decided to recommend to Emperor
Nicholas the summoning of such a
council.
•Tho question Is all-Important on ac
count of the close connection between
the religious and political elements ln
the Russian social organism, and that
it has been raised at this time Indicates
the depths to which Russian society Is
stirred at the present hour. The move
ment is believed to be at present largely
confined to a group of metropolitan
clergy but it Is not known to what ex
tent the priests In the country at large
are nffected.
The document snys . thnt true be
lievers must rejoice at the liberation
of conscience from restraints and must
recognize the necessity for reforms for
the orthodox church If its influence Is
to live and grow, the spread of indif
ference and lrrellglon to be checked,
nnd the church to realize its high God
given • calling. The document declares
that "only a church free from Internal
influence In Its affairs; thereby avoid
ing the liability of being considered a
force of action under the Influence and
under obllAfrllbris townfd"th« state,"cnn
hope to check the spread of other faiths
and other creeds in Rußsla and. retain
the nation in its fathers' creed."
TERRORIST ACTIVITY
Police Arrest Many Persons' With
Bombs In Their Possession
By Associated Pres*.
ST. PKTERSBUIIG, March 31.— The
authorities .continue .to find evidence
of terrorist activity in St. Petersburg.
The "fighting organization" is known
to have on Ita condemnation list thirty
persons, headed by Grand Duke Alexis
and Governor General Trepoff, and the
police have arrested several persons
with bombs in their possession. '
Only yesterday the police foiled what
is believed to have been a plot to kill
Governor General Trepoff. A man
waa observe^ during , the morning
lounging A block, away from the en
trance to Governor General Trepoff's
'chancellory. A^ policeman noticed that
his face <■ was not familiar and ap
proached with the object ,pt interro
gating htm. The man thereupon be
came alarmed, drew a"" revolver and
fired at the policeman, but missed him.
The policeman overpowered his assail
ant'and arrested him.
/■' AJmost at the same ■ hour the police
discovered several bombs of ' the ter
rorist pattern' ln a trunk belonging to
a | stranger^ who occupied . furnished
roomß in 'a house , in Pushkin street.
The man captured by the police on
'Great Morskala street, probably was on
the- lookout for some mark by which
to . distinguish General Trepoff's car
riage, as several vehicles of the same
style are constantly before the gov
ernor generaFsTchancellory, and when
lie drives out they circle around and
leave* in different directions so that it
Is almost Impossible in the confusion
to determine definitely which carriage
co'nfalns # j|t»*«;ovgrnor general.
It is said that* General Trepoff a fort
night ngo^Terelyed a letter Informing
him that this rus»<- was unavailing, :i&
he would be killed in his bed.

young multl-mllllonalre under arrest.
Young Vanderbilt, who Is a lieuten
ant In the Twelfth regiment. National
Guard of New York, Is an enthusiastic

disastrously for the big red machine
and its fearless driver. In attempting
to turn a corner at a cross street and
make for more open going the ma
chine ran into an excavation which hod
been only partially filled In' with 'loose
dirt and was standing full of water
and mud. The rapidly moving ma
chine swerved wildly ' and for an ; In
stant seemed about to turn over. The
plucky chauffeur stuck. to his post,"
however, and tried to bring his ma
chine out of Its predicament, but the
wheels on the right side had sunk so
deeply Into the mud that the machln-^
cry beneath was clogged.
As young Vanderbilt started, to leavr
