Special Dispatch to The Call. MILWAUKEE, April 30.—Wisconsin is @ tipless State, or will be when Gov- ernor La Follette shall have signed the Stout bill against graft, which has been passed by the Legislature. Senator Stout had no intention of warring on the tip system when he ix- troduced his bill. His inteption was to wipe out petty grafting, wnich has grown up through small commissions paid buying agents and employes to induce them to favor some firm or cor- poration in making their purchases. It ‘was with such a view that the bill was passed by both houses. It was not until the final vote was being taken in the Assembly that members discovered that if the bill passed it would abolish the custom of giving tips or place the giver and the receiver in danger of fines or imprison- ment. An attempt was made to have tle bill laid over for a wuek for amend- ment, but the Assembly, by a large majority, refused to do this, taking the ground that doing away with tipping Wlould be a benefit rather than other- wise. ———e———— TO CONTINUE MOVEMENT AGAINST REED SMOOT Senator Dubois of Idaho and ex-Sena- tor Frank Cannon of Utah Still Active, PHILADELPHIA, April 30.—United States Senator Fred T.

PRESIDENT " SERTICES Attends Church in Mountains of ~Colorado. Congregation Garbed in Pic- turesqne Costumes of the Frontier. ¥ | Pastor Mixes SMg With Good Advice and Executive's Words Are Cheered. GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Colo., April | 30.—Unique in the history of Colorado | was the chureh service held at the Old Blue School House on the West Divide | Creeks and attended by President | Roosevelt and his hunting party and all the ranchmen and their families for ‘miles around. The little district school enough to accommodate the congrega- | tion. «/The organ was moved to the platfgrm in front. Platform seats were provided for the President and his party,’the Rev. Horace Mann of Rifle, Colo., who preached the sermon, the choir and the trustees of the church. The members of the congregation stood or sat on the ground or in their con- veyances, which were grouped arvund the building. ¥ The seérmon by the Rev. Mr. Mann was of an unusual Kind. It began with a story, teefned with slang of the Western flavor and was full of advice suited to a congregation inuring itself to the hardships of mountain life. It touched upon the responsibilties of the position of the President, as well as the characisy . of some of the raen who_have B = After the or. <ol -4l President spoke for about ten minutes. He expressed his well-known views on good citizenship, the moral of men, patriotism and duty to the home and country. He was cheered heartily throughout his remarks. After the ser- vices were concluded he shook( hands with every man, woman and child present. PICTURESQUE CONGREGATION. The services at the schoolhouse were begun at 11 o'clock. Long before that hour the ranchmen and their families began to assemble. Many persons drove or rode horseback from Newcastle, Rifle and other towns from five to fif- teen miles away. The President’s party presented a picturesque appearance as it came up. All the huntsmen were on horseback, and they were dressed in their hunting clothes. They had no others at the camp. Many of those in the congre- gation wore their best. The dresses ‘and hats of the women were showy and in striking contrast to the mud- spattered tan duck, blue jeans and other rough materials making up the costumes of the President and his fel- low hunters. Mr. Roosevelt was\ dressed in the same clothing he wore when he left his private car at Newcastle two weeks ago. His ha} was what is known as the “slouch.’” He wore it pulled over his eyes and badly out of shape. His jacket was shéep-lined duck, his trous- ers of duck, tied about his ankles with strong cord. His shirt was blue cot- ton. He had discarded his leather chaps and sweater as a concession to- ward proper church-going raiment. The clothing of Dr. Alexander Lam- bert and the guides was even rougher. No mountain band of road agents ever looked more formidable. The West- ern air of the party went straight to the hearts of the people. They ap- plauded and yelled boisterous praise of the President, regardless of the day and the fact that they were vi in a house of worship, though the was the blue sky, the floors of 4 and dead leaves and the walls were formed by the mountains on every side. PRESIDENT JOINS IN HYMN. As soon as the party was seated the service was begun. The organist played a selection from the Presbyte- rian hymn book and the cheir sang. Another selection was played and sung ‘and this time the congregation . was asked to join. The voices of the President and Dr. Lambert could be heard above the others. The congre- gation was so great and scattered that the sound of the organ was almost drowned. ‘When the song was concludéd the Rev. Horace Mann preached his ser- mao! - “Nothing could please me more,” said he, in beginning, “than to say at this time a few words concerning the great the many difficult problems now before the American people. { out; Mann, cut it out,’ to use an ex- tion of the country.” 2 More music followed, and Mr. Roose- velt, :-tgd th; request ntfl;}u ‘minister, addre the congregation.

Central Americans Now in This City Greatly Excited Over the Ru- mored Assassination. A Central _Amniericans residing in San Francisco are anxiously awaiting news from the city of Guatemala that will confirm or deny the private message received here Saturday to the effect that President Istrada Cabrera had been shot and his son killed. Attempts to gain communication with the southern republiceyesterday failed, and the strange silence of the telegraphic cables is regarded as onrin- ous. Anxiety is at its height among the Guatemalans in this city, and more so when it was learned yesterday that the son of the President of the republic, Diego Estrada Cabrera, who arrived in San Francisco on the steamship Saturday, has been unable to get a re- sponse to a cablegram of inquiry sent to his family regarding the reported attempt to assassinate his father All day yesterday the yonung man pa- tiently and hopefully waitéd for a mes- sage from home. At a late hour last night he was forced to admit that he was at loss for an explanation for the failure of the answer to arrive. “T-am. as to. sald the young Guatemalan ace Hotel last evening, “and Mr. Stahl, who is largely interested in Guatemala and came. to’ San Francisco with me, shares my views. Yet we cannot un- derstand why our messages have not been answered. Mr. Stahl sent a ca- blegram about the same time Saturday that I did, and we looked for responses to-day, but they have not come. I still doubt that my father has been shot, for when we left Guatemala the ex- citement over the threatened revolu- tion had subsided and everything seemed peaceful.” The probability of a revolution hav- ing suddenly broken out in Guatemala or that an attempt had been made to assassinate President Estrada Cabrera is accepted by the local Central Ameri- cans with much readiness, for it is known that despite the announcements from Guatemala that no further trou- ble is feared ‘here the revolutionary party, at the head of Wwhich is the former President General Barillas, is still on ‘the borders of the republic menacing the peace of Estrada Ca- brera. . 1t has long been the custom in Guat- emala when trouble ariges to establish a censorship over communication with the outside world.

A heavily loaded Ellis-street car in- beund from the park collided with an aatomobile containing six people at Hilis and Scott streets shortly after § p. m. yesterday. mr. B. F. Alden of 1071 Page street and his brother-in-law, Daniel Magee of 978 Page street, were painfully in- jured. Mrs. Alden and Miss Magee, each holding an infant in her arms, were badly bruised and injured from the shock. Dr. Alden, who was running the ma- chine down Scott street, attempted to stop when he heard the approaching car. His heavy vehicle slid onto the car tracks, and before he could back it the massive electric car struck the auto with terrific force. The front art of the machine was reduced to splinters. Magee was thrown heavily to the ground and Dr. Alden jammed between the car and the levers of the auto. Mrs. Alden and Miss Magee clutched frantically to their bables and were buried under the wreckage. Both women were Injured; yet, some miracle, neither infant was hurt.
