[RVINE BALKED AT EVERY TURN (Vestrymen Retd® to Let Signatures Remain on the Talbot Presentment HUNTINGDON, Pa., Jan. 1.—The Rev. Ingram N. W. Irvine, the deposed rector of §t, John's Episcopal Chufgh, wha arrived here from Philadelphia last night and immediately sought se- clusion in the home of Vessley N. W. Hillier, one of the men whose names appear on the presentment of Bishop Talbot, left for the East at noon to- < Dr. Irvine looked careworn and hag- gard. During his short visit he refused to meet newspaper interviewers. Dr. Irvine’s unexpected departure to- day is viewed here as inexplicable, alike by his friends and opponents. He communicated with none vf his former vestrymen or parishioners, and denied | himself to all friends. It is generally believed that the briefness of his visit was due to his failure to influence the vestrymen who have repudiated their signatures on the presenment to per- mit their names to remain on that pa- per. It is understood that an effort was made by Dr. Irvine to communicate with John Langdon, one of the men who repudiated the presentment, but ADVERTISEMENTS. for the New Year is a model of piano ex- cellence in tone, con- struction and beauty of case.

TEN-YEAR MARRIAGES FOR KANSAS Bill on Subject to Be Presented to Legislature, | Enectal Dispatch to The Call. | TOPEKA, Kans., Jan. 1.—A bill mak- | | ing marriages of limited length possible | | Will be introduced in the Legislature, | { which will meet here next week, by F. ! Dumont Smith, State Senator from Ed- | wards County. Senator Smith says ! that he has been working on the bill | for several days. He says that the ! agitation over limited marriages, which | started in the East some time ago, has | set Kansas people to discussing the de- ¢ of legislation on the subject. . said Senator Smith to-night, “limiting the length of marriage to ten | years would be a blessing to many | people. It would not provide for limit- {ing all the marriages in the State to | | this term, but would make it possible | to issue a license which should be bind- | ! ing on the contracting parties only for | that length of tim | ————r———— | PROSPEROUS CONDITION N NCE BUSINESS | President McCall of the New York | Life Reports on the | Year’s Work. | | ' Special Dispateh to The Call i | NEW YORK, Jan. 1—The several | financial reviews indicate that 1904 has | been a year of very great prosperity. | The President’s message, with its rec- ommendations as to the tariff and con- trol of the public corporations, has been very favorably commented upon by the business interests, and no fear is expressed that extreme opinions on either gide will prevail in Congressional enactment. The great corn and cotton crops have made the West and South prosperous and comfortable, and the labor situa- tion in the manufacturing districts of the North and East is most satisfac- tory. The banking interests in all sec- tlons report excellent resuits for the year. 3 The insurance business, except for | the Baltimore fire, has never been more | prosperous. The life part of it is mani- | fested by the early report of the New York Life Company. President McCall states that the new year has produced the largest business ever reported by any similar company. The policy hold- ers are nearly 1,000,000 in number, and the insurance in force approximates $2,000,000,000 in amount. The last quarter of the year added nearly $130, of applicgtions for new insurance in a total exceeding $500,000,000 for the year. | The Company's policy reserve secu- ‘rl!k's include Government, State, mu- nicipal and railroad honds to the: ex- tent of $290,000,000. No stocks of any kind are held as investments, and no| bond in the list is in default of interest. | The company during the sixty years, of its existence has paid in claims to policy holders over $450,000,000. | The enormous exvorts of the fiseal | vear, $1,460,829,000, and the advance or-! | ders in the steel and iron trade all in-| dicate that 1905 will be a record year; unless labor troubles, which are not looked for now, arise to change the sit- | ; uation. — e without success. When asked to-day whether he had seen Dr. Irinve, Lang- don said: No, and I don't want to. He knows better than to come to my house. I feel deeply grieved at the publicity my name has been| given and_ would gladiy pe further an- noyance. It seems that Irvine's sole purpose is to destroy the tranquillity of our parish. | After Dr. Irvine's departure some of the details of his visit became known. ! It was learned that Dr. Irvine and Hil- lier had some differences over the tele- gram received by Miller, and that Dr. Irvine left the Hillier house and spent[ | the night at the home of Miller. After Dr. Irvine's arrival last night Hillier called at the home of James Denithorne and informed him that Dr. Irvine would like to see him. Langdon | was present. Denithorne replied that if | Dr. Irvine wanted to see him he knew where to find him. Dr. Irvine, he said certainly owed him an explanation, but | he did not propose to hunt up the cler- gyman to get it. During the conversation the Miller | telegram was mentioned by Denithorne, | and Hillier said that Dr. Irvine had in- | formed him that he had not sent such a message. Mr. Denithorne produced | the original telegram received by Mil- {ler, which surprised Hillier. The latter | then returned home and had a warm interview with Dr. Irvine, the outcome of which was that the clergyman went to the home of Miller. The telegram in question was that al- leged to have been sent by Dr. Irvine to Miller urging him to keep quiet and the misrepresentations in the use of the vestrymen’s signatures would be sat- isfactorily explained. PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 1.—There was 8 growing feeling among clergymen here to-night that the proceedings brought by Dr. Irvine against Bishop Talbot would fall through if the Hunt- ingdon vestrymen persisted in their re- pudiation of the signatures to the pre- sentment. It is believed that if the Huntingdon men officially inform Bish- op Tuttle, the presiding Bishop, that they did not knowingly sign a present- ment the St. Louis prelate will official- 1y dissolve the board. — NOTE TELLS THE STORY OF A LIFE MISSPENT Missive Left on Pier by Supposed Suicide Contains Unheeded ‘Words of Advice. LOS ANGELES, Jan. 1.—Mystery surrounds the finding of a grip and overcoat to-day on the -cean Park pler, and it is believed the owner com- mitted suicide by jumping into the sea, or possibly fell in. Letters found in the coat show it to be the property of Frank J. Murray of Fort Collins, Colo., who left there to make Ocean Park his home. Murray was seen walking on the pler, without apparent aim, carry- ing the coat and valise, and nobody saw him come to the shore. In the valise was found a pecullar letter, which may be the key to the mystery.

During the time of Dawley's pres- ence with them, both Dr. and Mis. Chadwick gave way to their feelings and Mrs. Chadwick wept aloud. Daw- ley was with them for an hour. REALIZES HER DESOLATION. When Chadwick arose to leave the jail, Mrs. Chadwick apparently felt more than ever before the desolation of her position. She knew neither that her husband was her champion and protector, nor that his sympathy for her had been swept away. She clung to him for a moment and again pleaded with him for his confidence. With tears in his eyes he told her she had his confi- dence until proof was produced to shatter it. The doctor was dazed for a moment upon reaching the turnkey’'s room. Emil Hoover had arrived at the jail, while Dr.Chadwick was with his wife and was awaiting his stepfather in the office. The father grabbed both hands of the boy and searched his face a moment before speaking. “Bmil,” slowly said the doctor. “It has been a long time since I saw you. Many things have happened since then.” The boy made no response, and | they started to leave the jail. ‘“‘Has your regard for Mrs. Chad- wick changed since her " began began a questioner of Dr. Chadwick, as_they were leaving the jail. “I cannot say anything,” interrupt- ed the physician. “You will have to talk with’ Mr. Dawley or Mr. Ker- ruish.” There will be no statement,” sald Dawley; “so you may as well let him rest.” For permitting Dr. Chadwick to visit his wife to-day Sheriff Barry may find himself in trouble with the Federal authorities. The visit was allowed without a formal application to the Federal authorities. Recently Federal Judge Wing directed that no person be allowed to see Mrs. Chadwick with- out a permit from the court or the United States Marshal — e SON OF BRIGHAM YOUNG IN ROLE OF AN “ANGEL” He Backs a Theat Is cal Company and horus Girls for Salary NEW YORK, Jan. l1.—John W. Ycung, a promoter, the son of Brig- ham Young and the father of Hooper Young, now serving a sentence for murder, has been seryed with twenty- three summonses for back salary due twenty-three chorus girls of “A China Doll” company. The summonses were served by one of the chorus girls. Young is reputed to have been the “angel” of the company. He was served with the papers at the door of his apartments in the Ansonia Hotel.

ST. JOSEPH, Mich., Jan. 1.—Richard Crawford, the son of the late Chicago millionaire, was host at a New Year's reception last night at his summer home in Royalton Heights. He made a speech of welcome to his seventy- five guests at 12 o'clock from the back of a Holstein bull, which stood sar- rounded by luxuriant furnishings, on the oll £tained floor of the reception room. Later in the night Crawford ushered in a Poland China pig, a Jersey cow, and a Texas pony. The pony was sad- dled in the reception room and ridden #ut of the house by one of the guests. Crawford, who is well known in club circles of Chicago, is a livestock fan- cier. He declared last night that his bull was the finest specimen in the | State. He also runs a fashionable liv- ery stable in this city. The guests of this remarkable party returned to their homes in the early hours of the morn- ing. —_— HENEY CAUSES HALL'S REMOVAL District Attorney’s Fail- ure to Help in Prosecution | —_— PORTLAND, Jan. 1.—The report printed yesterday that John H. Hall, United States District Attorney for Oregon, had been absolutely removed from his office by order of President Roosevelt is substantiated by later re- ports from Washington and from in- dictments which have occurred here. The beginning of the trouble dates back, it seems, prior to the indictments returned against S. A. D. Puter and Mrs. Emma Watson, but did not be- come acute until after the recent trial of the land frauds case. It is said that George Sorenson was | one of the first causes that led to the request of Heney that Hall be removed. | Sorenson was wanted badly as a wit- ness by the Government in the Puter- Watson trial. He had, however, left for the East and could not be located. Heney asked that he be found, as his evidence would have been material in the completion of the Government’s case. No one seemed to know anything of his whereabouts until about the close of the case, when it is asserted Hall sald he thought he knew where Sor- enson could be found. - It is said that later it was shown that Hall had been in communication with Sorenson. It is stated also that S. B. Ormsby was to have made a confession last spring, and that he failed to do so is THE WHITE HOUSE sin Foor) Tyesday, January 3d, CtainFoeo SALE MUSLIN UNDERWEAR AT Greatly Reduced Prices CoR.PosT % G S Kearny 3780 1aid at the District Attorney’s door.

Scnator Fulton Says Indictment of Col- leagne Is Outrage. - WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.—Senator Fulton of Oregon came to the defense of Senator Mitchell to-night and de- clared the indictment of his colleague by the Grand Jury in Portland a gross outrage. , He said no one had ever be- fore questioned Senator Mitchell’s in- tegrity and that in the end the injus- tice of his treatment would be proved and he would be completely cleared of | all complicity in the land fraud cases. Fulton also corrected the impres- sion that United States District Attor- ney Hall, who was removed from office by the President yesterday, was dis- missed because he was a friend of Senator Mitchell. Fulton said he stood ! sponsor for Hall and that Mitcheli was especially strong in opposition to him. ———e————— PROJECTED REVOLUTION IN COLOMBIA A FAILURE Those at the Head of the Movement Arrested and Placed in Prison.
