CRITICISES KING EDWARD ish Preacher Says King Violates English Sundays by Atten: Conecerts on Sabb LONDON, March 7.—There was a striking scens in the City temple yesterday, when during the course of his sermon Rev. Joseph Parker, D. D., the minister, administered a pointed rebuke to King Edward, which was loudly applauded by the congregation. Having alluded to the houses &s “trap doora of hell,” Dr. Parker alluded to the king's recent brewing of beer while visiting Lord Burton. “Pray for me,” said the divine, “that I may speak delléately, loyally. 1t the king brews beer, what can be wrong in the subject drinking it? What the king does 1s likely to be imitated by others. His majgety is more than & man and must re- gard all questions from a kingly polnt of view. If the king goes to a Sunday concert, s he did recently, he deals a deadly blow to the Englishman’s Sunday. The kiug can- not attend a non-conformist place of wor- ship, but he can go to & Sunday concert,” This remark called forth cries of “‘Shame" and Dr. Parker continued: “If the king, who 15 head of the church and defender o the faith, can violate the English Sunday what can the people do but follow in his footsteps? 1 would rather glve & great sum' of gold than appear to be disloyal, but 1 cannot be disloyal to Christ, and it is, bet- tor that these things should be sald.

RELIES ON VAST ARTESIAN SUPPLY Bxpects Subterranean Rivers and Stora; to Produce Uniform Flow in Surface Streams of Semi-Arid States. (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, March 7.—(Special Tele- gram.)—Representative Mondell today re- ported favorably the bill for the reclama. tion of arid lands, as introduced by Repre- entative Newlands. The report covers twenty-five pages of typewritten matter and is exhaustive in character. Of the states named in the bill, Kansas and Nebraska, according to the report, contain no lands Which strictly speaking, are arid, though nearly one-third of the rn portion of each state is semi-arid, and & comsiderable portion of the semi-arid lands is susceptible to irrigation. The amount of Jand remain- ing in public ownership in these states is comparatively small, in Nabraska about o tenth and in Kansas a considerable smaller sortion. Mr. Mondell says the American piomeer has irrigated In the region included in the bill, about 7,500,000 acres of land, and has expended thereon a sum estimated at $200,- The report of the irrigation committee says that the territory affected by the bill is nearly one-half the a of the United States, and that in the sixteen arid land states there are over 535,000,000 acres, or more than one-sixteenth of the area of the country, of public land subject to entry. Ot this vast tract only 10,000,000 acres will produce corps without irrigation, showing the wide extent of the arid districts. Mr. Mondell points out that with such a vast dominion no other than the govs ment can deal adequately with the problem of irrigation. He also shows that lIrriga- tion long ago passed the experimental stage and that its great advantages have been try and abroad. The no taxation to carry out the irrigation project, the entire ex- pense being derived from the sale of public lands in the states to be irrigated. Seeks to Meet Objections. In reply to the objections made against the measure by the Nebraska representa- tives in congress; that as the bill stood it would have the effect, if passed, of comsid- erably reducing the volume of water in the Platte river flowing through Nebraska, Mr. Mondell says: ““The bill provides for the sinking of artesian wells. It is hoped that these test wells will demonstrate the exist- ence of an extensive artesian basin through- out western Kansas and Nebraska, as well will also be benefited by every storake and diversion work undertaken and accomplished at the headwaters and along upper courses of the streams. Relies on Storage Works. “The storage work will hold back the flood ‘waters which would otherwise go to waste or cause destruction, and thes waters, utilized in comnection with the larger proportion of the natural flow of stream, could without flood conservation be utilized for the irrigation of large tracts of land and in a short time would convert these tracts, now absolutely dry, into water- soaked areas, seepage from which, return- ing to the stream, would produce a largely increased and uniform flow in the lower course of the rivers, at a time when most needed, and when under present conditions the streams are lowes Senator Gamble today lald before the senate petitions signed by over 150 citizens of South Dakota, praying for the passage of the Grout oleomargarine bill.

The officers express the be- liet that the deadly powders sent through the mall were substituted fop the harmless headache powders which the envelopes had originally contalned and that they were sent to several persons in the village for the purpose of throwing the blame upon the manutacturers of the headache remedy and thus divert suspicion from the sender of the polson. The officers who bave investigated the case state that Klump wae infatusted with another woman, a widow, whom It is al- leged he had agreed to marry before he met and won the love of the pretty 16-year- old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Watson of Lowell. Klump had been married twice. His first wife lived In Lewell and it 1s claimed that the other woman in the case was the cause of his separation from her also. The sherift and his deputies are trying to locate Hattle Whitfleld. She at one time lived in this city and it is said that Klump visited her here. Oficers went to the house of her parents In Vergennes town- sbip, but did not find hef there, mor could they learn where she had gone. Klump was interviewed at the jall to- night. He is about 35 years of age. He declared he was entirely innocent of the charge on which he was &rrested. He sald he had no knowledge of what the alleged mple of headache powders contained or hence they came, the envelope containing the powder to his wife at the Lowell post _some other mail and brought it to supposing ing sample. He been attentive to another woman or that there was any reason for his wanting his wite out of the way. FEEL NO ALARM OVER ETRURIA Officials of the Line Believe Min: Vessel ix Free of Danger. ¢ NEW YORK, March 7.—The New York agents of the Cunard line sald today they had received no further information of Btruria, but that the steamer Elbe will take off Etruria’s passengers and transfer them to Liverpool. LONDON, March 7.—The officials of the Cunard linc declare there is no cause for alarm over Etruria. A dispatch to the Dally Mall, from Horta, Azores, dated March 7, says Etruria gone it had carried away the rudder with it Etrurla was then in latitude 40.3 north, longitude 40.38 west. It was experfencing fine weather, although not long before the weather had been boisterous. There was no excitement among the passengers when they learned of the accident. An hour pre- vious to losing 1t propeller Etrurla had ex- changed good-night signals with Umbria at a distance of about forty miles and had dis. patched various wireless messages from its passengers for delivery in New York. Shortly after the accident Etruria tried again, but unsuccessfully, to call up Um- bria. The same night the British stewmer Clift was eighted. CIiff stood by until day- light, when an arrangement was made to tow the Cunarder. On the morning of Feb- ruary 28 the tank Ottawa was sighted. Ottawa stood by Btruria until March 3. Nearly two days were spent in rigging the Jury rudder, during which time Etruria was towed less than fifty miles. SHAW VISITS WALL STREET New Secretary of Treasury Meets Maiden Trip. NEW' YORK, March 7.—Secretary of the Treasury Shaw today made his first visit to the financial district since he assumed of- fice. The secretary said his visit here had no special significance; that he was simply looking over the ground. Concerning the recent requests to trans- fer gold to San Fransclsco, he said: Application for such transfer of gold has been made to the Treasury department, but 80 far it has not been made. In my opin- fon the application was m precaution against any developments which might_arise. 1 do not, however, bellev. that $20,000,000 will be transferred and it is doubtful in my mind if more than $5,000,000 will be transferred. Of course, the tra fer of gold by that method York to Ban Francisco is of the government because gold accumulates in San Francisco and the surplus has to be shipped east considerable expense. if the application should have been ‘made for transfer from San Francisco to New York we could not h: granted it.

TOO YOUNG FOR INTERNATIONAL DEMANDS When Position that His Danghter Would Oceupy in Court Affairs is Discussed President Decldes to Change Program. WASHINGTON, March 7.—Miss Alice Roosevelt, daughter of the president, will not attend the coronation of King Edward. ‘While the White House officials decline to discuss the matter it was stated by thosa lo a position to kmow that the president had decided that she should not go.

When Miss Roose- velt’s status became a matter of interna. tional discussion the preesident first con- sidered the advisabllity of cancelling the visit, but not until it was found that an invitation to visit the emperor and empress of Germany wi on the way to America, was it decided that in view of the extreme youth of Miss Roosevelt and the interna. tional courtesies she would be called on to meet, the English visit and all its delights, would have to be relinquished. COURT DOUBTS JURISDICTION Justices Divi, in Case of Money WASHINGTON, March 7.—The district court of appeals today announced its de- cision in the prize money cases instituted by Admiral Sampson for himself, his of- ficers and enlisted men in the Santiago campaign and appealed from the district supreme court. The court is divided. Chlef Justice Alvey, who delivered the opinion, held that the appeal should not have been taken to that court, but withholds the order of dismissal. This course is with a view to preserving the appeal in case the United States supreme court should decide the appeal was right- fully taken. The decision says, however, that the order of dismissal will be entered in case it 18 desired to appeal to the United States supreme court from the order. Justice Morris in concurring, says he is not satisfied that his court has mno juris- diction, but as that would deny jurisdiction of the supreme court, such a ruling should come from the latter court. Justice Shep- pard will file a dissenting opinion, IN_HANDS OF THE TREASUBER emoval of Countervailing Duties o Sagar Left with Secretary Shaw, y WASHINGTON, March 7.—Minister Town- send, at Brussels, has informed the State department that he is able to certify as of- ficlal the statement of the agreement reached by the beet sugar producing coun- tries, namely the abolition of all bounties on sugar and provision for a uniform cus- toms tarift of six francs per 100 kilograms, or mbout a half-cent a pound. Roumania alone of the countries represented in the conference refused to enter into this ar- rangement.
