| While some parts of the document We're
| erased by a special committee the body
| of 1t gives more authentic information
| upon the purposes of the order than has
ever before been made public upon au-
thority. President 1raynor deals at great
| length with the present phases of the A.
p A. He says:
The American Protective Associa ton
| is today a recognized factor in American
politics, whose favor is openly courted by
political leaders, organizers and postu-
lants for public office, who year ago ig-
nored. treated with contempt and de-
nounced it.
The a. p. A. Is a standing menace to
the perpetuity of every party being com
posed as 1t is, of the members of every
party. So long as it remains unmoved by
threats unyieldlng to the pressure of
party machines, it will be hated by and re-
spected by every party which dares not
incorporate the platform of the order in
It's own. The great majority of our order
have waited patiently during the last
year for some sign from one or the other
or the political parties that it has received
a change of heart which 1t is honest
enough to publicly express. There are a
Few republicans, such as Linton of Iowa,
Gear OF Iowa, Bradley of Kentucky and
Stone of Missouri, who have been fearless
in their Endorsement of our purpose, and
while 1t may be fortunate that they are
republicans it is more than unfortunate
that they are not either the republican
party or the representatives of that body
and the question should be asked and
answered here and now, that while the
A. p. A. isms of these men are tolerated
by the party for the a. z. A. votes which
each of them carries behind him, what
assurance have we that this federation
will not cease the moment the votes have
been delivered?"
Referring to the advisory board, which
created a sensation by it's attack on Nc
Kinley, he says: "a source of prospective
danger is the national advisory BOARD as
1t Is at present constructed. In it's polit-
ical form it is in danger at any time of
coming into collision with the supreme ex-
ecutive board, which is the supreme
council out of session and undoubtedly the
superior of all other boards. AT present
1t recognizes no superior but the supreme
council in session, and may pursue one
policy while the supreme president and his
cabinet pursue one entirely opposite to it,"
and suggests that the powers of the
board be specifically named.
He recommends that no candidate for
a national political office should receive
the Endorsement of the board until all
state councils have passed upon him;
that no notifications of a political nature
from state or supreme council be manda.

Made n Single Execution.

Chicago, May 15.--Today. the first time
since the execution of the Haymarket
anarchists double hanging was to take
place in the Cook county jail. The con-
demned men were Alfred C. Fields, a
negro, and Joseph Mandreth, a German.
1t was to have been a triple hanging, but
Governor Altgeld yesterday gave re-
spite to Mic Marsden. convicted Of the
murder Of Fritz Holzhuetter. a butcher.
Fields slept soundly. His companion did
not get any sleep until long after mid
night. When his wife left the Jail he
cried Historically nearly an hour. Faith
ers Dore and Finn prayed with him.
Fields the negro. was executed at i2:27
Fields smiled on the scaffold, said Good
by, old sport" to an acquaintance and
was strangled to DEATH his neck not be-
ing broken. According to his confession,
on the night of February 20 last he had
a quarrel with Mrs. Ella Randolph wife
or Pullman porter, beat her head into
pulp with a natiron and set fire to the
house just before the time Of execu-
ton word came that a stay OF three weeks
had been granted by Judge Baker to
Mandreth, who became insane several
days ago or was feigning insanity. Man
dreth was extremely violent constantly

SUPREME COUNCIL OF THE A.p. A
reports of Committees the Chief
Work of the Day.

Washington, May 15.-The session of the
supreme council of the A. L. A. meeting
Today was devoted mainly to considera ton
OF committee reports. Five congressman
spoke before the council during the after
noon. Among those were Linton of Mich
gan and Hllborn of California. The report
OF the committee on agitation took the
ground that agitation without education
Is dangerous to the cause. The commit
Tee recommended that bureau of inform
alton be established. to consist of the SUI
preme president and one member of each
state council.
The work of the Junior A. p. A. was
reviewed and the proposition urged that
the body be placed under control of the
women's auxiliary of the A. r. A.
The main point of the report, however.
was the recommendation that all property
of the United States except such as is
owned and used by national, state or mu-
nicipal organizations be taxed. The re-
port was adopted.
The committee on ritual and parapher-
MALTA made an extended report covering
technical changes of the ritual
An Armenian subscription was raised.
The advisory board will report tomor-
row.

ON BEHALF OF THE TRADER
senator Wilson Asks that CoIyiIIe
Reservation be II Highway.

Washington, May 15-There have been
great many applications for permission
10 go up on the nUrtn half of the Colville
reservation as traders and Senator Wilson
mas been endeavoring to induce the com
missioner of Indian affairs to grant all
such permits that may be applied for. on
the grounds that this is no longer an In
dian reservation, but has practically been
declared open, and only awaits the carry
ing out of certain provisions of law. al
ready enacted, to make it so. This view
OF the case is not taken by the commits
sioner OF Inulan affairs as yet. although
he has promised to give the matter care
ful consideration. He holds that the an
pllcants for traderships are not DESTROYS
OF trading with the Indians, as If is A
well known fact that there are no Indians
IN that section, but that they wish to take
in provisions and merchandise for sale Ia
white men who have gone upon this nor
ton OF the reservation to work mining
claims and to prospect. Senator Wilson
argues that as there are no Indians IN
there and as the mineral land laws have
already been extended to this portion of
the reservation, allowing prospectors and
miners to work thereon, there can be no

rwo AGED BISHOPS RELIEVED
Methodist Conference Decided That
Younger Men Were Needed.


Cleveland. May 14.-Todays session of
the Methodist Episcopal conference was
marked by the largest attendance of the
session. When the committee on tenn

whereby the resolution which contem-

The report of the committee on educa-
lion, which excuses students from taking
trst examinations in branches in which

ions in some Methodist school was adopt
I'd unanimously. The committee on

Buckley, chairman, made a report of the
committee ON episcopacy. 1t stated that

Bowman and Foster are too old to stand

their retirement at the END of the confer
snce as non-effective. In the list of
bishops returned as effective were all

Taylor, whose name was not mentioned.

them.
Bishop Foster rose and the audience re-
,eived him with great applause. He said
ne simply had a request to make. He
knew the question was one of great deli

tire. Cries of mo. no." came from all
parts Of the hall. Bishop Foster extended
MS arms, saying, please, please" 1t
was am ost pathetic scene. Bishop Fos-
Ter spoke few moments and the con-
ference, by a rising vote, granted his
request. Bishop Bowman said he would
make the same request. as he had lust
earned for the first time that he was
not effective.

Rev. j. 70. c. Sawyer spoke feelingly IN
