An interesting meeting was held last night at the Baptist church for the Christians and especially the “young converts” of the recent services. Mr. Williams the ,“musical man” was on hand and led the singing, besides giving a solo and a helpful word to the Christians. After scripture reading by the pastor with a few appropriate remarks on the passage, the meeting was open for testimony. One after another got up and told of the bless- ings received during the meetings, how the Christions were revived and others had been converted. It was a most interesting service, and one that cheered the heart of the pastor to see how God had been pleased to bless the weak efforts put forth in the special services. Mrs. Alvord did her part well, altho laboring under great diffi- cutlies. She is a woman of strong character, and well adopted for the work, both asa lady of refinement and a thoroughly consecrated person. She is in the work not for financial gain, but because she has a heart of sympathy for those who know not Jesus as a personal savior. The business part of the meeting was the reception of ten new mem- bers. Four were received by letter and six as candidates for baptism and church membership. Others who expect to unite with the church weren’t able to be present last night, but will in the near future. The pastor takes the opportunity of thanking the Pioneer for publish- ing a daily report of the meetings while in progress. He believes in “honor to whom honor is due.” H. Robinson McKee.

REPUBLICANS HOLD MEETING Steering Committee of Senate Dis- cusses Situation, but No Decision Is Reached to Add Any Measure to Those Destined for Passage. ‘Washington, April 22.—At a meet- ing of the Republican steering com- mittee of the senate the legislative programme was discussed, but no de- cision was reached to add any impor- tant measures to those destined for enactment at the present session of congress. In regard to currency leg- islation it was stated that if the house passed a bill providing for a commit- tee to investigate financial matters the senate would immediately, upon re- ceipt of the measure, vote to add the Aldrich currency bill, with a view of putting the whole subject into confer- ence. Senator Aldrich made it clear that if there was to be financial legislation of any character at this session it would be along the line of what al- ready had been done in the senate, with -concurrence in the provision for a commission to sit during the recess of congress to consider currency mat- ters. Senator Hale told his colleagues on the committee that the sentiment of the senate was against the four battle- ships scheme advocated by the presi- dent and that it would be useless to try to get an appropriation for more than two battleships at this session. It appeared from the discussion that there were few measures in addition to appropriation bills that have any prospect for passage at the present session. 'Senator Beveridge declared That It Would Be Bad Politics to adjourn without passing some of the measures desired by the presi- dent and that the “do nothing” policy. would be heard of in the coming cam- paign. He spoke of the difficulty Re- publican campaigners’ would have in answering the charge that the presi- dent’s programme for beneficial legis lation had been ignored by a Repub- lican congress. 0 _He was particularly ! urgent 1 Gemanding conslderatlon Tor an anti-injunction bill and for the pro- posed amendments to the Sherman anti-trust law. The other members of the steering committee, however, saw little chance for the passage of these measures and several senators argued that it would be worse politics to divide the party on bills that could not pass than to let these bills sleep until after the cam- paign. Although no date of adjournment was considered it was generally agreed that the business of the ses- sion could be concluded about the mid- dle of May, unless the minority fili- buster in' the house should prolong the session. Senator Beveridge op- posed an adjournment without an ef- fort to carry out the president’s pol- icy or some action showing a disposi- tion to revise the tariff, such as the appointment, of a commission. To ig- nore these things, he said, would be a grave mistake. MEASURE PASSES HOUSE Volstead Bill Authorizing Drainage in Minnesota. ‘Washington, April 22.—The Vol- stead bill, authorizing the drainage of certain lands in Minnesota, has passed the house under suspension of the rules. According to the provisions of the bill the state of Minnesota is given the right to treat public lands subject to entry and entered lands the same as privately owned lands under the drainage laws of the state. The right was sought to enable the state to se- cure the drainage not only of the pub- lic lands. but also of large tracts held in private ownership: Aileged to Be $7,000 Short. ‘Winnipeg, Man., April 22.—The Al- berta government has issued a war- rant for the arrest of Captain Sarbot- tle, prominent in social circles, who is collector of inland revenue for that province. He mysteriously disap- peared ten days ago and is alleged to be §7,000 short in his accounts. He is believed to have escaped into Mon- tana. ‘Four Killed, a Score Injured. Heber, Ark., April 22.—A premature explosion of 1,000 pounds of blasting powder and several cases of dyna- mite at Burke’s construction camp, six miles west, resulted in the instant death of four Italian laborers and the serious imjury of a score of others, some of whom are native citizens. Doukhobors Refuse to Eat. Port Arthur, Ont., April 22.—Port Arthur jail authorities refuse to feed Doukhobors entirely on fruit and the Doukhobors now have been four days and nights without food, though or- dinary prison fare is within reach when they decide to take it. mctall Bill Reported Favorably. ‘Washington, April 22.—The McCall bill requiring publicity of campaign contributions was reported favorably to the hcuse by the committee on election of the president, vice presi- | | dent and rbpresentatives in congress. Thousands Visit Battleships. Los Angeles, Cal., April 22.—By or- der of Mayor A. C. Harper it was a general holiday in Los Angeles in honor of the visit of the Atlantic fleet. Practically all business houses were closed, work of all kinds was sus- pended and many thousands of per- sons went to the beaches and aboard the battleships for the first time. Spe- cial trains were run from far in the interior, bringing large crowds. Provides Enlarged Homesteads. Washington, April 22—The house committee on public lands has report- ed favorably the Smoot bill providing for an enlarged homestead. The bill is similar to one introduced by Chair- man Mondell. It authorizes the entry of 320 instead of 160 acres of land under the homestead laws in most of 4he arid states. DID NOT ENJOY HIS VISIT Prince de Sagan Describes Experience in America as “Torture.” Paris, April 22.—Prince Helie de Sagan gave an interview to a repre- sentative of the Journal at the house of a friend before he left for Naples, in which he admitted that he was go- ing to Italy to meet Madame Anna Gould, formerly Countess de Castel- | lane, to whom he is reported to be engaged, but he refused to give any intimation as to when and where the marriage would take place, saying, “the future is in the hands of God.” The prince described his experi- ences in America as “torture.” He said he was everywhere besieged by a legion of reporters and a horde of photographers and that the most odi- ous and most ridiculous things were printed about him and Madame Gould. “They even amnounced that our mar- riage had occurred secretly in New Jersey,” he said, “which was as false as the reported family dinners at which my fate was discussed.” He declared also that even a high prelate of the Catholic church took notice of his presence by issuing a manifesto against divorce and this induced the clergy each Sunday to preach violent sernions against him and Madame Gould. EVERETT ST. JOHN DEAD. Prominent in Railroad Circles for Many Years. Wellesley, Mass., April 22.—Everett St. John, for many yvears one of the most prominent railroad officials of the country is dead at his home in Wellesley, In 1863 he began his long connection, exceeding thirty-one years, with the Rock Island system, of which he eventually became general man- ager. He was chairman of the General Managers’ asscciation of all the rail- ways entering Chicago and occupied this responsible position during the great Pullman strike in 1894. In 1895 he resigned to become vice president and general manager of the Seaboard Air Line and in 1901 he retired from active business life. PROBE PAPER TRUST House Passes Cannon Resolution for an Investigation. BELECT COMMITTEE NAMED \ Republican Leaders Declare the ‘Com- bine Is Responsible for High Prices, but the Democrats Lay the Blame to Both the Tariff and the Trust. Washington, April 22.—The house has adopted Speaker Cannon’s resolu- Mon authorizing the appointment of a committee to investigate the so called paper trust and the general subject of wood pulp and the manufacture of printing paper. The speaker an- nounced the following as members of the committee to make the proposed Investigation: Mann (IIL), Miller (Kan.), Stafford (Wis.), Bannon (O.), Bims (Tenn.), Ryan (N. Y.). The resolution provides for a select committee of six and was passed un- der suspension of the rules. In ex- planation of the resolution Mr. Dalzell (Pa.) said it was a matter of public noteriety that there had been a large Increase in the price of paper. Never, he declared, had there been such an agitation as had been aroused by the newspapers the last few weeks. While there was a consensus of opin- lon, he said, as to the increase there was no consensus as to the cause of that increase. It was, he said, capable of mathematical demonstration that the increase was not due to the tariff and he contended that it would not be changed by a removal of the tariff. However that may be, he said, there were those who believed that the in- erease was due to a combination or trust and it was necessary to get the facts upon which to base a bill to meet the case. Views of Minority Leader. In the opinion of Mr. Williams the rise in price was due “both to the tar- Iff and the combination and the com- bination is due-to the tariff.” If, he said, it had been intended to kill the combination it could have been done by putting wood pulp and print paper on the free list. Mr. De Armond (Mo.) declared that the resolution was but another at- tempt of the Republicans to delude the people “and make them believe there is an attempt to do something when the direct attempt is to do noth- lng.” Declaring his opposition to the reso- lution Mr. Williams, who obtained the floor again, said he did not think there woulll be any real search for the truth and no real finding or re- porting of the truth. The resolution, he said, was intended solely to white- wash the tariff as a criminal as ngainst the American people with re- gard to wood pulp and “to circumvent this man Herman Ridder, at the head of the great newspaper association— this German devil, as some people are beginning to call him—and get around legislating on the question.” The vote on the resolution stood 184 to 110 and was strictly on party lines. PROTEST AGAINST DELAY. Associated Press Papers Criticise Con- gressional Inaction. New York, April 22.—The following address was adopted at the annual meeting of the Associated Press: “Representatives of 77¢ daily news- papers, gathered at the annual meet- ing of the Associated Press, respect- fully ask the president and congress to grant immediate rellef from the exactions of combinations of paper makers. In September, 1907, and again in November, 1907, the atten- tion of the authorities was directed to the excessive prices then demanded by the paper combination. Immedi- ately upon the assembling of con- ms iwenty or mere bills aiming ti mect these conditions and to put aper and pulp on the free list were ntroduced and referred to the ways pnd means committee. Persistent ef- forts to obtain a hearing have been w(usea Dilatory tactics have been employed to prolong present condi- tio)y and to carry over to another osslon of congress every proposition esigned for relief. All newspapers re represented protest against de- ! “Attention is also directed to the false reports of news print paper prices which were recently furnished to cengress by the directors of the census bureau. The newspapers here represented use approximately 80 per cent of the news print paper con- sumed in the United States. We de- nounce the quotations as submitted to congress as misleading and unworthy of credence. The reiteration of the accuracy of these figures of the di- rector after the error has been called to public attention tends to shake pub- lic confidence and respect for statis- tics thus compiled.” Herman Billek Is Reprieved. | Springfield, IIl, April 22—Acting upon the recommendation of the board 3f pardons Governor Deneen granted & reprieve until June 12 to Herman Billek, convicted of the murder of Mary Vzral in Chicago -by poisoning tn 1905. The reprieve is based upon he representation to the board that false testimony was given at the trial which led to the man’s conviction and it is for the purpose of giving the courts time to investigate that the re- prieve is granted. . UPHOLDS THE PRESIDENT. Senator Warner Discusses Browns- ville Affair, ‘Washington, April 22.—A painstak- ing analysis of the testimony taken in the several investigations of the Brownsville affair, which led to the discharge of a number of negro sol- diers of the Twenty-fifth infantry, and especially that by the committee on military affairs, was’ presented to the senate by Senator Warner of Missourl, “In the war of 18615 I served in the OUR REPAIR DEPARTMENT Is famed throughout this aud adjoining counties.

Near the Lak said Mr. Warner. “The surviving vet- erans of those troops wear with me, as comrades, the button of the Grand Army of the Republic and certain it is I have no prejudice against negro sol- diers and am not prepared to cry out against negroes as soldiers because I believe that members of the Twenty- | SENATOR WILLIAM WARNER. fifth infantry at Brownsville disgraced the uniform and stained the honor- able record of their race as soldiers. Lawlessness is not a distinguishing characteristic of any race or color.” The Missouri senator quoted freely i throughout his discourse from testi- mony taken in the several investiga- tions of the charge that the negro sol- diers shot up the town. “It Is to be regretted,” he said, “that a studious and systematic effort has been made to arouse the race feeling of the negroes of the country against the president because of his action with reference to those companies. It is incredible to me that any intelligent man, white or black, should have the hardihood to charge that the presi- dent, in issuing the order discharging those soldiers, was influenced against them by reason of their color.” CHANGE OF VENUE DENIED Michigan’s Former Treasurer Must Face Trial at Lansing. Lansing, - Mich,, April 22.—Judge Weist of the Ingham county circuit court has denied the petition of ex- State Treasurer Frank P. Glazier of Chelsea for a change of venue for his trial on the charge of embezzlement and misapplication of state funds. Over §$600,000 of state funds were on deposit in the Chelsea Savings bank last December when the crisis in Mr. Glazier's affairs resulted in the fail- ure of the bank, from which he had borrowed heavily. Judge Wiest, in denying the . petition, declared that there was nothing in the state of pub- lic opinion in Ingham county as to Glazier which would prevent him hav- ing a fair trial.
