It if now In proof, but there Is no assurance fas to when it will be given to the public. In addition to statistics of the various denominations, the work will present a brief history of each; also, the pertinent facta regarding their doctrine and policy. The compilation Is the work of Dr. Edwin M. Bliss.

Up to the time of the Investigation there had- been no effort to effect any organization for the promotion of Confucianism, but the text tells of a society of the Chinese sage's followers, which was organized in New York City In 1H07. amor the Mon golian students in Columbia University. System of the Ethics. Contending that Buddhism is only a system of ethics, they undertook to demonstrate that Confucianism was a real re ligion and so a regular system of services was established by a well-defined organiza tion. The organized followers of Buddhism are Chinese and Japanese.

Their churches. I known officially as "temples," by the irrev erent are referred to as "Joss" houses. There are Chinese and 12 Japanese temples in this country, the former being distributed over VI, the latter over three states.

While Bahalsm, strictly speaking, is rron-christian and foreign. Its followers are native and not necessarily unchristian.

This Is a comparatively new sect, growing out of the teaehlngs of a Persian leader of the middle of the last century, named Alt Mohammed. He claimed to be the forerunner "of Him whom God would manifest," and called himself "Bab," or "The Gate." Later came' Baha Ulla, who claimed to be the one whose coming had been foretold, and from him the real name of the body is derived.

In a dispatch to the American John Temple Graves, at Columbus, Ohio, ln reviewing the political situation in the Buckeye State, pays high tribute to the political generalship of Gov ernor Harmon in connection with hla handling of the traction strike In that ft Mr.

Graves asserts that the Republicans t- of Ohio had hoped to prejudice Governor Harmon's political fnture by attacking hi course In calling out state troops. His opinion is that they were outgeneraled by the Buckeye Governor. Excerpts from Mr. Graves's dispatch follow: "A JTame To Conjure With." "The Republicans of the Bockeye State had counted mightily on the -Columbus strike to stab the soaring prestige and pop- ularity of tbe Democratic Governor. "For Harmon Is the name to conjure hope in Democratic ranks and to send a shiver -y, along the spine of Buckeye Republicanism.

'Glamis he is and Cawdor and shall be more hereafter." "The Columbus strike was the chance ot the year to trap him. 1 "Labor was tremendously interested and its prejudices were keen. Mayor Marshall, was a Republican candidate for re-election and desperately cautious in action here. Sheriff Sartain was as 'unsartin' aa ever a Republican Sheriff could be who wanted the votes of labor to re-elect him. "And so they both resolved, after a gen- eral council of the party, to lay down' on the Democratic Governor, who was also a candidate for re-election and a looming figure for the Presidency.

"And they dvd. They halted and hesl- tated and dawdled for a few very dangerous days and then called on the Governor to restore order. "Harmon Held His Peace!" "Harmon had held his peace and deferred, like the good Democrat that he is, to 'local self-government for the establishment of order. But, when the city and the county called upon the state for his duty was clear and hla response Instantaneous. -j.

a jvj-'Tr "Within an hour, order went oui-. Within a day tbe Eighth Regiment and the Twelfth were camped on the Capitol grounds. "Right under the Governor's eye the troops rested on their arms. And they did nothing else. "Not an overt act of Intimidation or force could be charged to the state troops.

Their presence was their only offense, and that. -was demanded by Republican officials -whose demand was a confession of incompetency to cope with riot. "Once, when the situation looked serious, the astute Executive summoned Major Charles Dick. United States Senator, potent politician and Republican leader, to his place at the head of the brigade. "Harmon had checkmated every strategic move of his enemies to array the labor ele- ment against the Harmon candidacy.

"And so, ss the yellow line of the last battalion faded out of the Capitol gates, there faded also the best and keenest of V. -the Ohio Republicans to trap and cripple the man whom they most admire aad of whom they are most afraid." IT CERTAINLY IS KIND Of the Union Leader To Boost Senator Dick For Chairmanship. rBCIAI. DrATCB TO TBS BBQTTIBBB. Upper Sandusky, Ohio, August 13.

The Union Republican carries a column leader this evening urging Senator Dick for Chairman of the Republican State Executive Committee. Among other things the Union Republican says: "If there is anything the Republicans of Ohio sorely need it is a campaign manager -Several have been tried since the Ohio Republicans went into the elimination business and a fine lot of failures has been the result. "Never before have the Republicans been so ln need of a real campaign manager, and if Senator Dick will only accept he should rbe chosen with open arms. He 'knows tlfe business: he knows how to get In touch wit the workers; knows how-to Inspire the sort of activity that wins." AN ADDED STARTER. rsriAt.
