In the interest of the “African Diamond Jubilee,” Rev. John M. Springer of Chi- 0, who has been In the African mission field with Bishop Hartzell addressed a large audience at the Broadway Methodist church last evening. Tn commemoration of the seventy-fifth anniversary of the in- auguration of mission work In ‘“Darkest Africa,” by Methodists. the church thi vear ia asked to raise $300,000 for the con- | tinuance cf the work in that country. “The American people more than others will profit by the extension of missionary work In Africa,” sald Mr, Springer. “All of Africa f not barren. Far from it. The continent has one of the brighest prospects for a mining and agricultural future. You will find ité eities modern. There are street cars, paved strects, electric lights, automobiles and as fine stores as one could ask for and I which you can purchase almost anything you wish." Referring to Mr. Reosevelt's hunting trip to Africa, Mr. Springer sald, “Rootevelt wiil make his tour into the African interfor considerably further morth than of work. He will theréfcre be much nearer the equator, but after he has passed the lower lands of the continent he will ascend to @ higher altitude, which will bring him into a climate which will com- | pare with that of Umball."

On Monday also the hearing on the Hakett ditch was granted and the Board of Bupervisors lald the matter over pending an investigation as to whether tiling it would be more beneficial than digging a ditch, On Tuesday the contract | for the Linscott ditch was let to John A.

April S.—(Special Tele gram.)—A bill was introduced Into the house this afterncon to raise the salary of the overnor to $,000 a year and of the| treasurer, auditor and sccretary to $3,5% | a year. The house passed the Clarkson assumption of risk blll In regard (o respon | sibility for accidents, and the senate bill | to forbid the sale of cocaine. The senate | passed the Bwift bill to penalize railroads | for failure to obey orders of the railroad commission and a bill forbldding trading | stamps in stores. The slumbering fires of a big political | upheaval came near breaking out today in the state senate, and may vet come to a head. Tt became noised about that the name of Judge J. P. Conner of Denison was being considered in connection with the appointment of a place on the Board | of Control. This morning the senators started out with a petition to the governor asking him to retain the nonpartisan and business character of the state board by retaining John Cownfe, the chairman, who has been a member for nine years. Cownle is a farmer and the business head to the board, but has never mingled in politic He s recognized as one of the most valu- able servants the state has ever had. The petition went to the governor and he re- sponded by sending to the senate the name | of Judge Conner for the Cownle place on the Board of Control. He stated that he had already tendered the place to Conner and he had accepted. Conner is very ob- | Jectionable to the members because he is reognized as a politician and has never had any experlence whatever in the special lines of work which are necessary on the board. The name was sent to a committee and will be considered after the committee reports. The incldent started something of a factional lneup, since Conner was de- feated for congress last year because of factional troubles in his part of the state. | Report on Hospital The house comrittee on Investigation of hospitals made a report today which con- tained nothing elther new or sensational. The committee found that In times past there have been Instances of neglect and cruelty to inmates of the hospitals, but | that in every case where the heads of the | institutions have found this out they have discharged the persons responsible. The committee also recommended that the state allowance for the institutions be increased to $14 a month in order that more and bet- ter attendants may be secured, which is something the board has been trying to have done for years. A special committee was recommended for each legislative ses- sion to make an Investigation every two vears to find out If the hospitals are prop- erly managed. Supreme Court Decisions. F. C.

The report has been filed with the gov- ernor, and shows affaivs of the department proper to be in genefylly good shape, the only trouble appearingto have been in the system of accounting, which was not as perfect as it should be, and which resulted in a slight mixing of funds, amounting to only a few dollars, which was located in a different fund than that to which it should have been credited, and a more per- fect system of bookkeeping Is mended Outside of that, chapter of 1907, provided for a spec the fire department, to be state fire marshal, who is placed under control of the Insurance commissioner, and who 1s to recelve $5 per day and expense for time necessarily put in at his work, which is to examine into any fires reported to have been of presumably Incendiary origin In checking that part of tb de- partment, they report that Frank Craft, the fire marshal reports time for every working day and six hclidays from July 1, 1907, the time of hix appointment 0 December 31, 198, drawing his per for such days and expenses as sho vouchers.
