provided for more literally in the bill.
Mr.. Edwards. after long persuasion.
gave 10 the committee the NAMES of

sugar trust had contributed to the dem
ocratic campaign fund. but the com
mittce failed signally in an qndeavor
TO obtain from him the name of his in
formant about the alleged so-called
Carlisle conference.
Mr.. Edwards said he would not dis
close this gentleman's name hinless he
was compelled to do so, and, Senator
Allen told him he could not plead priv
ilege except on the ground that his dis
closures would tend to incrimiRa ate him

that his examination be suspended un-
til he could consult his counsel. Judge
Dittenhoefer of New York, and the
committee allowed him to go for that

He suggested that Messrs. = Have

OMAHA, Neb., May 24.-At the do
cesar council of the Protestant Episco-
pal church Bishop Worthington, in his
address, briefly referred 70 the social
unrest which had become evident in the
revival of the ''fanaticism of earlier
days" in the marching of various labor
armies toward Washington. The
disease. he thought, was spiritual as
well as social one and the church had
its part to do in effccting the cure. The
duty of the church is to exercise the
utmost opposition Ia all forms of social
ism and anarchy, the growth of which
he noted. He Sa~ indications of n
sentiment toward denying the rights
of property. and 10 favor of commune
