There was consternation in parts of New Utrecht, yesterday, when the early risers discovered that there was no water to be had, owing to the break in the main that supplies the section. In a few places there was some to be had, and in few minutes men, women and children, carrying cans kettles, were scurrying through then streets in search of water. Some returned with bottles of seltzer and other waters that could be purchased.

The break was repaired in time for the cooking of the Sunday dinner, but while the stringency lasted there was a merry old time. PEACH TREES IN BLOOM.

He was removed to the Cumberland Street Hospital. "A LORD'S SERVANT SHOULD BE CLEAN" Rev. Mr. Burridge of Bristol, England, Delivers First Lecture on Pastor Russell. ASKS HIS CREDENTIALS.

Something More Than His Word Needed to Make Him Fit to Preach. In the first of a series of seven lectures entitled T. Russell's Teachings Examined," delivered last evening in the Bethany Church, Clermont and Myrtle avenues, J. H. Burridge, the well-known evangelist of Bristol, England, vigorously attacked the position, credentials and methods of Pastor Russell of the Brooklyn Tacernacle.

Mr. Burridge showed that the Brooklyn preacher should have no claim on the conscience of sensible Scripture-abiding Christians either in this community or in any other. In part the speaker said; Pastor Russell's Position Is Glorified or Else He Is a Gigantic Fraud. "Pastor Russell," the speaker said, "takes a position either most dignified, the most glorified, and the most privileged, since the apostles or that of the most gigantic fraud ever imputed upon the credulous public. It is important that we should know which of the two it is.

One of the things of Pastor Russell's in which people are 80 often deceived is his of the Scriptures. What he subchampioning, version of what we call the orthodox teaching of the Scriptures. There is not a doctrine of our holy belief which he does not pervert. He continually tells up that the time for a full enfolding of the Scripture has come, that not even the apostles themselves knew the meaning of the Scriptures as they are interpreted -interpreted, that is, by Pastor Russell." Mr. Burridge then quoted from writings of Pastor Russell to show the truth of his contention.

Taking up Volumes 1 and 2 of his work, entitled "Divine Plan of the Ages." The speaker read from their pages, and said in part: "The writer warns his readers not to listen to modern or ancient theologians, but to listen to what he has to say. He is going to discover that they were all wrong and error, because he has found something in the Scriptures which they have not. The writer says that these have been concealed designedly by our Lord until the 'due time' comes, which is the time of Pastor Russell. He tells us that the Lord is on the earth today, and that he is the one to say, 'There stands one among you whom you know Here we find his position. "It is the position of a man who has testimony committed to him in the last few days of revelation that his is the 'due time' for the 'light to shine and that he is making that known which has never been known before or understood before.

To give relief to his perverted truth he places it on a basis of former errors. That is just what he does. I believe that he greatly trusts to the ignorance of the large majority of men regarding prophetic truths, and that as reeult of this ignorance, when someone comes forth with some uninterpreted parts of Scripture we are inclined to believe them. Wants to See Pastor Russell's Credentials. "You have only to read his writings to find out his egotism, which has been spoken about by his former wife, and his disregard for all other theologians, who, he says, are in error.

But where are his credentials? Have we nothing but hiy word? We find in Scripture that servants must be clean and commend their lives that which they teach by their lips, and this is even more paramount today. You never find Paul bringing suit against his defamers to replenish his coffers. Meekness becomes a servant. He should be gentle to all men. What is there in the public life of this man to commend him to us in this position, or to give him a claim over our consciences? I think we shall find quite the reverse.

"I have no personal motive or intent in this except to turn the ears of people against him. At least the people that know would not let him teach among them. The case of his divorce by his wife 19 public property, so I am sure we are not doing him an injustice by bringing out certain facts in that case which show that he ought to have no claim on the people. First, his wife testified that his conduct was such that it made life intolerable to any Christian woman. Second, she also testified as to his improper conduct in relation to other women.

Third, his efforts to practice fraud on his wife and his use of the corporation of which he holds control. Fourth, his efforts to evade the payment of alimony to his wife, by fleeing from Pennsylvania to New York. Fifth, he carries on his work by means of a business corporation. Besides this you know the trouble brought on by all this among his own people So that he was compelled to promise to do differently. "This I may say is the great teacher that we have before us in this city.

feel that it is important to say that we have only to wait for three years to see the whole system go to smash. But he is ingenious and will try to get out of it. We all know that his system is false yet we have to be warned about it. Pastor Russell's Principles of Interpretation. "His principles of interpretation are first, to spiritualize all the Scriptures that speak second advent because he denies a visible appearance.

Second, in the most arbitrary way he makes bolic every passage of Scripture he desires and then make it to symbolize just what he wishes. He goes on developing his theory and has aptitude for bringing in Scripture to make it appear to the unwary fully confirmed by Scripture. He takes the dark and obscure passages because he can twist them the more easily and thus whips simple-minded people into tine. Furthermore, Pastor Russell is a great Greek scholar, All errorists are great Greek scholars. But let me warn you against Greek Dr.

Burridge then went on to show by various examples that Pastor Russell had used his knowledge of Greek to pervert the meaning of certain passages. The dates and subjects of the remaining lectures by Mr. Burridge on the Russell system are as follows: October 30, Russell's Christ and the Christ of Scripture. October 31, "Mr. Russell's Atonement and That of November 1, "Mr.

Russell's Way of Salvation and Second Chance." November 2, Russell's Ideas of the Dead and Resurrection, Compared with Scripture." November 2, "Mr. Russell's Prophecy and Date November "Mr. Russell's Teachings on the Coming of Christ." LADIES OF CHARITY MEETING.

Proclamation by President Taft Fixing November 30 as the Date. Chicago, October 30-President Taft today issued his annual Thanksgiving proclamation, calling upon citizens of the United States to celebrate Thursday, November 30, next as a day of thanksgiving. and prayer. The proclamation reads as follows: The people of this land, having by long sanction and practive set apart toward the close of each passing year a day on which to cease from their labors and assemble for the purpose of giving praise to Him who is the author of the blessings they enjoyed, it is my duty as chief exhave ecutive to designate at this time the day for the fulfillment of this devout purpose.

Our country has been signally favored in many ways. The round of the seasons has brought rich harvests. Our industries have thrived far beyond our domestic needs, the production of our labor is daily finding enlarged markets abroad. We have been free from the curses of pestilence, of famine and of war. Our national councils have furthered the cause of peace in other lands and the spirit of benevolence has brought us into closer touch with other peoples, to the strengthening of the bonds of fellowship and good will that link us to our comrades in the universal brotherhood of nations.

Strong in the sense of our own right and inspired by as strong a sense of the rights of others, we live in peace and harmony with the world. Rich in the priceless possesion and abundant resources, wherewith the unstinted bounty of God hag endowed us, we are unselfishly glad when other peoples pass onward to prosperity and peace. That the great privileges we enjoy may continue, and that each coming year may see our country more firmly established in the regard and esteem of our follow nations, is the prayer that should arise in every thankful heart. Wherefore, William Howard Taft, President of the United States of America, designate Thursday, the thirtieth of November, next, as a day of thanksgiving and prayer, and I earnestly call upon my countrymen and upon all that dwell under the flag of our beloved country, then to meet in their accustomed places of worship to join in offering praise to Almighty God and devout thanks for the loving mercies He has given to us. In witness thereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.

C. Knox, Secretary of State. NEGRO DYING IN HOSPITAL. His Sweetheart Is Locked Up Charged With Shooting Him.

Ward Meyers, a negro messroom steward on the U. S. S. Connecticut, is dying in the Brooklyn Hospital with a bullet wound in his abdomen, and Rhoda Wilson, a young negress, is locked up in the Raymond street jail on a charge of having shot him. Park M.

Lee had been for three years in love with Rhoda, whose home is at 819 Gold street. Lee, laden with gifts for the girl, reached home about midnight last night and found her entertaining Meyers, whose acquaintance Rhoda had made through There was a dispute between the woman and her lover, and he told her that life was not worth living any longer. He had on a previous occasion given her a .38 caliber revolver, and he told her to get it and shoot him. That is the story Rhoda told to the police this morning. She had no intention, she says, of shooting anyone, but she got the revolver and began to fool with it.

Meyers was shot in the abdomen, and the police believe that Rhoda deliberately fired the rovolver at him because she wanted to appease the jealousy of Lee. She says the shooting was accidental. The noise of the shooting brought in the neighbors and Detective Cunningham of the Adams street station, who was nearby, ran to the house. He called an ambulance and Meyers was hurried to the hospital, where the doctors say the chances of his surviving are very slender. Lee was arrested by the detective as an essential witness.

He, too, declares that the shooting was accidental. This morning Chief Magistrate Kempner, sitting in the Adams street court, heard Rhoda's plea of not guilty. She was held without bail until November 2 for examination. BADLY BEATEN IN THEATER. Cuban's Nose Broken and Eye Blackened-Special Officer Accused.

According to John Commento, a special officer in the Columbia Theater, there was almost a panic there last night, due to the noise made by Richard Bruen and Sergio Vassalo, two Cubans, who insisted, he declared, in taking seats on the side reserved for women. Patrolman Conlin of the Adams street station had the two Cubans, who were white and well dressed, under arrest, on Commento's statement. Commento did not have a scratch on his person, but he declared that the taller of the Cubans, Vassalo, had thrown him down a flight of stairs in the theater. Chief Magistrate Kempner, who was sitting in the Adams street court when the men were arraigned, took much interest in the case, for Vassalo's coat was smeared with blood, his nose was broken and his left eye was closed and discolored. He could speak no English, and had been in the country only a few weeks.

His chum, who spoke the language well, said that Vassalo had been beaten by the special officer. Magistrate Kempner held the young men for further hearing in $100 bail each. Vassalo later made a complaint of felonious assault against the special, and he, too, was arrested. 32 YEARS FOR WHITE SLAVER. Morris Cohen, Penniless, Must Serve Time for $5,000 Fine.

Mrs. Lena Cohen, who was found guilty of conspiracy to violate the laws of the United States prohibiting the shipping in interstate commerce of girls for immoral purposes, was today sentenced by Judge Hough in the Criminal Branch of the United States Circuit Court in Manhattan, to serve a term of five years imprisonment in the women's prison at Auburn, N. Y. Morris Cohen, who was convicted with her, was given a two years term at Atlanta, and fined $5,000. The fine to the man, who is penniless, means his serving thirty years additional to the time fixed by the sentence.

Jennie Lureyya of Bridgeport, who was indicted with the Cohens, pleaded guilty and as she was used by the government as its chief witness, was let off with a suspended sentence. MAN-O'-WARSMAN RAN AMUCK. John Schoenfleld, a man-o'-warsman from one of the ships at present berthed in the North River, was held this morning by Magistrate Kempner, sitting in the Adams street court, for the Grand Jury on a charge of carrying a dangerous weapon. He had a big knife' and was running amuck with it on Sands street, early this morning, when Patrolmen Finn and Cone of the Fulton street station arrested him. DR.

Mr. and Mrs. S. Whitfeld Ward will observe the sixth anniversary of their wending tomorrow night at their home, 1504 Bedford avenue, NAMING OF CARDINALS OFFICIALLY CONFIRMED Prelates Honored by the Pope Will Start for Rome by November 10. FUTURE AMERICAN POPE TALK Gossip in Rome That the Way Is Being Paved to This End.

Washington, October 30-Mgr. Diome-Je Falconio, the papal delegate, who has been elevated to the cardinalate along with Archbishops O'Connell of Boston and 1 Farley of New York, was today summoned to the consistory at Rome, November 27. Official notice of the appointment of the new cardinals reached Mgr. Falconio today. All three prelates probably will sail not later than November 10.

Falconio Will Not Return to America. Mgr. Falconio does not expect to return to America, as his position will be advisory to the Pope. The Rev. Bonaventure Cerretti, the auditor of the papal delegation, will act as charge d'affaires until the appointment of an ablegate 1 to succeed Mgr.

Falconio. Many telegrams of congratulation from the Catholic clergy and laity and other friends in this country and Canada, and in Europe, have reached the newly selected member of the College of Cardinals. Mgr. Falconio said he hoped to sail by the date mentioned. He expressed his appreciation for the kindness of the American people since he came to Washington.

"I have become greatly attached to the American people, because I am an American," said he. "My work in Washington as representative of the Vatican has been most pleasant. I leave here with many regrets, but must obey the call to other Rome, October 30-Comments on the approaching consistery, when cardinals, including three from the United States, will be created, continue to emphasize the great significance of Pope Pius' decision to grant to America four representatives in the Sacred College. By some it is asserted that the way is being paved for the future advent of an American Pope. By such it is pointed out that largest aggregation of Catholics in the world is to be found in the United States and its possessions, the Philippine Islands, Hawaii, Porto Rico and Guam.

Not only are the Catholics of America superior in numbers but in deep religious feeling, piety, loyalty to the Holy See and in wealth and generosity. An IristAmerican Pope is suggested for the day when it shall be considered no longer necessary for the papacy to be held by an Italian. The American College factulty and students are rejoicing especially over the elevation of Archbishop Farley of New York and Archbishop O'Connell of Boston, as they are alumni of the college. The former was one of the original thirteen students when the college was founded by Pope Pius IX. The latter was both a student and a rector, and is the first rector to be raised to the purple.

The objections made by some that Mgr. Kennedy, rector of the American College being an American, cannot appointed Apostolic Delegate at Washington, are confuted by the fact that the present Pope, for the first time, made a departure from the rule, nominating gr. Fruehwirth as Papal Nuncio to Munich, which arrangement is working well. Mgr. Kennedy is described as a Romanist to the backbone.

SHANNAHAN'S FRIENDS RALLY And Pledge Him Support in Municipal Judgeship Campaign. Three hundred friends and neighbors of William Seward Shannahan, candidate for Municipal Court Judge in the Sixth District of Brooklyn, met yesterday afternoon at Acme Hall, Ninth street and Seventh avenue.

McLoughlin, who stated that it was simply a gathering of friends and neighbors of Mr.

Shannahan all desirous of aiding in his election to the Municipal Court bench. He reverenced the record of Judge Shannahan in the Legislature, praising it heartily, and stated that the fact that Mr. Shannahan had been selected for this important judgeship by Mayor Gaynor be sufficient guarantee to the voters of his exceptional qualifications for judicial office. Remarks were made by ex-Assemblyman John F. Kearney and John C.

L. Daly, ex-Judge Travers of Flatbush and Francis J. McLoughlin. All paid a tribute to the independence, zeal and integrity of Mr. Channahan and made suggestions calculated to aid in bringing about the election of the candidate.

Mr. Shannahan, replying, sincerely thanked his friends and neighbors for their promise of energetic work in his behalf. Each person present pledged himself to work unceasingly during the remainling days of the campaign to roll up a majority for Mr. Shannahan. WIFE AFRAID OF T.

J. YOUNG. Accuses Him of Beating Her-Treated Badly for Seven Years. Thomas J. Young, 44 years old, living at 4910 Fourth avenue, was held in $100 bail today by Magistrate Hylan, in the Fifth avenue court, for examination on November 2, on a charge of assaulting his wife, Mary F.

M. Young, who was in court and showed the effects of a severe beating, her left eye being badly discolored. The woman was in a very nervous condition and told the judge that she had been receiving cruel and inhuman treatment for seven years. She said she had been frequently beaten, and that her husband had deserted her from time to time for periods of as long as three months. In her affidavit she stated that last week she was beaten a club, being knocked to the floor, and from the effects of the beating she suffered a hemorrhage of the mouth and nose, The magistrate admonished Young to keep away from his wife until after the hearing on November 2.

The woman was much worried at the possibility of Young disregarding the judge's warning, and told the court that she was afraid to go to her home for fear that her husband would return and again attack her. Magistrate Hylan told Young that if he even went near his wife it would go hard with him. MAC FARLAND CASE POSTPONED THE CAMPAIGN TONIGHT. Democratic Meetings.

(Special to The Eagle.) Patchogue, L. October 30-A $12,000 offering was taken at the morning service in the Methodist Episcopal Church here yesterday.

During the past summer extensive improvements have been made both the exterior and interior of the edifice, these improvements exceeding by far the conservative estimate of the church board. As a result, many of the church people were in a quandary to know how the expense was to be met. The young pastor of the church, the Rev. Ira W. Henderson, took an optimistic view of the situation, and during last week had letters sent to every member of the church and others, warning them of the offering to be asked for yesterday.

The result was that through the earnest appeal practically the entire amount needed to pay for improvement was raised. in evening, when the annual rallyThan church was crowded to the doors day exercises were given by the Sunday school. An orchestra of twenty pieces and the choir of twenty voices augmented the customary programme. MAN AND WIFE NEAR DEATH. Elderly Couple Almost Asphyxiated by Gas in Their Home.

Hugh McGraw, 63 years and his wife, Margaret, 73 years old, who live at 412A Eighteenth street, narrowly escaped death today when shortly before 11 o'clock they were overcome by illuminating gas. Mrs. McGraw was cooking luncheon on a gasrange in her kitchen, and, after putting the food on the stove, went into the dining room. She talked with her husband for a few minutes, and he then started to read to her. That is the last they remember.

Some time later Mrs. James Cleary, who lives in the same house, was passing through the hall and noticed the odor of gas. She traced it to the apartment of the McGraw's and tried the door. Finding it locked, and being unable to get any response to repeated knocks, she notified the police of the Fifth avenue station, who sent an officer around to investigate. The policeman went up the fire escape and entered the kitchen.

He discovered that the gaspipe attached to the stove had become loose and that gas was escaping. After turning it off he found the two elderly people, both of whom were unconscious. He sent in a hurry call for an ambulance, and Dr. Barber of the Seney Hospital responded. The physician worked over them for over an hour.

The man soon responded to treatment, but the woman required heroic methods to restore her to consciousness. Finally the doctor brought her around, and while both she and her husband were very ill, it was not necessary to remove them to the hospital. It is thought that Mrs. McGraw, in passing from the kitchen to the diningroom displaced the gastube and that both husband and wife were overcome before they were aware that anything was the matter. NEAR DEATH IN AUTO CHASE.

Officer Mesle's Motorcycle Smashed as He Leaped Into Big Car. John Mesle, a bicycle policeman, chased a speeding auto, in which were the owner, Edward T.

He made a flying leap from his motor cycle just as it crashed into the automobile, landing in the auto himself on top of the occupants, while the machine he had been riding was smashed against the guards.

He was painfully scratened and bruised, and alleged in the Flatbush police court today that a deliberate attempt had been made to injure him. Fink was find $25 and the case against Maynard was set over until tomorrow, as he was not in court today. There were fourteen other cases of auto speeding in the Flatbush police court today, and all were disposed of with fines ranging from $1 to $15.

A three-alarm fire occurred early yesterday morning at 160 Seventh avenue. It was the plant of H. Krantz manufacturers of electrical supplies, and for a time it looked as if adjoining factories were doomed. The fire was discovered by some passerby, and an alarm was turned in, but by the time the firemen arrived the flames had spread throughout the entire plant, SO that it was impossible to save any part of the factory. The large plant of the Royal Metal Furniture Company, on one side, and that of the American Cordage and Rope Company on the other, were in great danger, but were saved.

John Harlingan of Engine Company No. 151, while fighting the fire from a ladder, was cut about the head and shoulders by falling glass, which came from a window above him. The a plant occupied a three-story brisk building in Seventh street, and a fourstory one in the rear. Both were totally destroyed, and the loss, it is claimed, will exceed $100,000.
