St. Paul, July 7.—By far the largest convention in-the twenty-eight years of history of the Christian Endeavor movement and one of the greatest gatherings of religious folk ever held in the United States is the convention of Endeavorers which began in this city today.

The member- ship of the society represented at the eonvention now exceeds 3,500,000. Prominent Men to Speak. The programme is the strongest ever presented at an international Christian Endeavor convention. Among the leading speakers are the Rev. Francis B. Clark, father of the Chris- tian Hndeavor movement; Hon. Will- fam J. Bryan, Governor John A. John- son, Senator Beveridge of Indiana; Hon. George Nicholls, member of par- liament, London, who came from Eng- land to attend the convention, as well as many leading pastors and mission- aries from all parts of the world. Practically every prominent person oonnected with the society is in St. Paul. There will be a menster parade and great patriotic service at the capitol as one feature of the convention. The educational exhibit of progress along olvic, social and religious lines, with lectures by experts, is one of the most valuable features.

In addition there will be ex- leursions into the surrounding country, mountain climbs, public meetings and song services, etc. The president of the league Is Bishop W. A.

ATTACK EXPECTED AT ANY MOMENT Teheran Gompletely Invested by Persian Rebels. Eondon, July 7.—According to a spe- ofal dispatch from Teheran that city is completely invested by the Persian revolutionary forces, who are expect- ed to attack at any moment. St. Petersburg, July 7.—The first de- tachment of the Russian expedition that may march to Teheran, the cap- ital of Persia, consisting of a battal- lon of infantry, has sailed from Baku for Enzeli and further detachments will sail shortly. According to officlal advices the rout of the revolutionaries at Shaha- nad has had a depressing effect and the leaders will scarcely be able to reassemble a respectable fighting force. Thelr followers have been scat- tered in many directions. The Bakhtiari tribesmen, however, are 2,000 strong and stiff fighting is certain to ensue with General Lia- koff’s Cossack brigade in case the ad- vance continues. The Russian force will not enter the engagement unless foreign lives and property are endan- gered. SIX PERSONS DIE IN FIRE Aged Man and Five Children the Victims. South Boston, Va, July 7—H. P.

Harned and Gustave E. Kissel, co-defendants. Judge Hand granted the defendants two weeks to demur or take other action regarding the indictments. JUDGE CONGER FATALLY HURT Led Detail of Soldiers That Captured Lincoln’s Assassin. Dillon, Mont., July 7.—Judge Ever- ton J. Conger, who led the detail of soldiers that captured J. Wilkes Booth after the assassination of Pres- ident Lincoln, was probably fatally injured by being run over by an auto- mobile driven by Sheriff Gosman.

Berlin, July 7.—Privy Councillor Dr. Hammann, director of the press bu. reau of the foreign office, was acquit- ted of charges of perjury brought against him by Professor Schmitz, the former husband of the present Frau Hammann.

MOTION CAUSES DEBATE As Finally Agreed to Labor Organiza- tions, Fraternal and Beneficiary So- cleties and Organizations Exclu- sively for Religious, Charitable or Educational Purposes Are Not Af- fected by the Law. ‘Washington, July 7.—As soon as the tariff bill was taken up in the senate an amendment proposed by Senator Burkett exempting from the operation of the corporation tax provision bene- ficial societies organized on the lodge principle precipitated a debate on the exact form that such a provision should take. Senator Bacon thought that the suggestion of the Nebraska senator was not broad enough and offered a more farreaching amend- ment relating to religious, charitable, educational and fraternal associations, mutual insurance companies and cor- porations whose gross sales were less than $250,000 annually. Trinity chayrch of New York was brought prominently into the debate. Senator Clark of Wyoming said that organization was not of a character to receive the exemption. It was, he said, engaged in real estate opera- tions to an extent that would not war- rant the church’s exclusion from the previsions of the bill. After considerable debate an amend- ment was adopted exempting from the tax labor organizations, fraternal beneficiary societies and organizations exclusively for religious, charitable or educational purposes. Mr. Aldrich, in accepting this provision, sald the finance committee believed that the same object was accomplished by the language used by the committee plac- ing the tax only upon corporations “or- ganized for profit.” Amendments requiring the payment of the corporation tax to state treas- uries when raised from banks, water, gas and electric light companies and exempting mercantile corporations with gross annual salaries not ex- ceeding $250,000 were rejected. SENATE TOBACCO SCHEDULE Rates Generally Higher Than in the Existing Law. ‘Washington, July 7.—The senate committee on finance has completed 1te consideration of the internal rev- enue provision of the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill fixing taxes on tobacco and it was reported to the senmate soon afterwards. The existing rate of $3 per thou- sand on cigars weighing more than three pounds per thousand was re- tained, but a proviso was added In- creasing the tax on high grade cigars. This proviso fixes a tax of $6 per thou- sand when the wholesale price is be- tween $75 and $110. Where the price 13 more than $110 the tax is fixed at $9 per thousand. On cigars weighing three pounds or less per thousand the house rate of $1 is reduced to 75 cents per thousand, an increase of 21 cents over the existing rate. On cigarettes ‘weighing more than three pounds per thousand the house rate of $3.60 is retained, but on those weighing not more than three pounds the house rate 1s reduced from $1.50 to $1.25 per thousand, which still leaves an in- erease over the existing law. CONFEREES ON TARIFF BILL Probable Makeup of Senate and House Committees. ‘Washington, July 7.—With the sen- ate rapidly approaching the day of final consideration of the tariff bill attention is being given to the selec- tlon of the conferees on the part of the senate and of the house. The duty of the conferees will be to attempt to bring the two bodies into agreement regarding the measure. Gossip has it that Senator Aldrich will pick besides himself as the rep- resentatives of the Republicans in the Senate Hale of Maine, Penrose of Pennsylvania, Burrows of Michigan and Smoot of Utah. The Democratic senators who will participate in the conference will probably be Daniel of Virginia, Money of Mississippi and Bailey of Texas. In the house Speaker Cannon will select Payne of New York, Dalzell of Pennsylvania, Boutell of Illinois, Mc~ Call of Massachusetts and either Cal- derhead of Kansas or Needham of California as the Republican members and Champ Clark of Missouri, Wnder- wood of Alabama and Griggs of Geor- gla as the Democratic members. Lieutenant Commander Gise Dead. Washington, July 7.—Lieutenant Commander Willlam K. Gise, execu- tive officer of the gunboat Annapolis, station ship at Tutnila, Samoa, is dead at that place.
