RE SAYS PRAYERS ARE USELESS
Colonel ngersoN Also Thinks There is No
Necessity for the Word God in the
Constitution

NEW YORK, n. Y, May 14.-CoIonel
Robert G. Ingersoll consented to talk last
night concerning the assertion made by
DIR. QuayIe in the Methodist Conference at
Cleveland that it was idiotic to pray for
him.
Il think DR.. Quay was right" said he,
"when he said that to pray for the conver-
sion of Robert Ineersoll was idiotic. He
seems to take the same view of prayer th at
do; and to be consistent he ought to stop
praying. He ought to tell all his NJ ethod-
ist brethren to stop advising and bothering
God, and that over every Methodist pulpit
should be painted in large letters: To
Pray for the Redemption of Any body Is
Idiotic.' DR.. Quayle seems to have the
true spirit of his church"
What do you think OF the Methodists'
plan for putting God in the constitution? ?'
81 think that if the fanatics get God in
the constitution there will be no room left
for man. Our fathers in 1857 retired all
the Gods from politics and established a
secular government, In which the power to
govern does not come from God but from
the consent of the governed. Let us
keep the aristocracy of the air from gov
erning the land in which we live"

tion will be had for the Rubinsteln prize

sian Consul General. Mr.. Otarovsky. and
under the immediate direction of Platon
Brounoff, graduate of the st. Petersburg
conservatory under Rubinstein. Among
the artists who will take part in the festi-
val are: Emma Juch, soprano; Miss
Natalie Tanoth, court pianist to the
Queen of England and Emperor of Ger
many; Signor Victor Clodio, tenor; and
Emil Fischer, basso. Mr.. Brounoff will
conduct an orchestra of seventy five
musicians. At the festival the compost
tions of Rubinstein will be played, the
only exception being symphony over
ture by Mr.. Brounoff, written for the oc-
caSion.

JACKSON FOUND Gull TY.
Must Pay the Death Penalty
for the Murder of Pearl
Bryan.
Without Culver the Young Studen,
Receives the Verdict of the
Jury.

CINCINNATI, OHIO, May 14.-"Guilty
of murder and penalty death" are the ter
rible words ringing in Scott Jackson's ears
as he PAGES the floor of his dark and lonely
cell tonight.
1t took the jurors just two hours and
eleven minutes TO reach conclusion. 1t
was 1904 o'clock as they filed into the
crowded courtroom at Newport, KY, Fore
man Shea bearing the fatal slip upon
which was written Scott Jackson's doom.
deathlike silence prevailed as Clerk
Reuscher received the verdict and read, in
solemn tones: "We, the jury,
find the defendant, Scott Jackson, guilty
OF the murder of Pearl Bryan and fix the
punishment at DEATH"
Despite the stringent instructions of the
Judge to the contrary, there was MUIR
mur of approval In the room and few
even applauded by clapping their hands.
The prisoner sat motionless, his eyes fixed
on a table before him.
There was not the slightest visible trace
OF emotion IN any feature as he walked
from the courtroom back to his cell with a
firm and even step. Neither Mrs. Bryan
nor Mrs. Jackson was in the courtroom.
When the court reconvened for the af-
ternoon session Attorney Crawford moved
an arrest OF judgment on the ground that
the indictment did not state whether Jack
son was guilty as principal or accessory.
This the court overruled.
Colonel Crawford then moved that a
new trial be granted the prisoner. The
motion sets up eight grounds of error in
the proceeding. Judge Helm fixed Satur-
day, May %, to hear arguments on the
motion. If new trial is not granted the
case will go to the Court of Appeals.
The prisoners mother is completely
prostraied over the verdict, while the MUIR
dered girls family express qualification
over the result. Jackson shows signs of
weakening tonight and says the verdict is
great disappointment to him.

MAY ADJOURN IN JUNE.
Congress WtH Not Tinker With Tariff
This Session.


This Session..
WASHINGTON, d. c., May l4.-The
Republicans of the Senate will hold a
caucus Tomorrow at IL o'clock for the pur-
pose OF considering the question of ad-
1ournment. The call was circulated by
Ohandier and was generally signed by
those who are opposed 10 the repeal of the
tree e-alcohol clause OF the tariff bill, which
sherman and several other Republicans
are cesirous to have repealed. 1t is said
the caucus will endeavor to reach a con-
cluslon on the subject of adjournment and
the bills shall be considered before that
time arrives. The general impression
prevails that final adjournment can be
had in the first week of June without
trouble or inconvenience
1t is the intention to engage in some
plai talk at this conference and then en-
deayor to show the advocates OF the re-
peal OF the free-alcohol clause how impos-
sloie II Is TO take up this amendment to
the tariff act without coupling it with
other amendments along Republican
lines. 1t is claimed that the silver Repub-
licans will not do anything to precipitate q
financial discussion, and that if Sherman
and those who are with him IL this mat
ter will agree to let the repeal go by the
board there will be no STUN bling-block to

Bill to the American Pro.
tective Association.
NELSON DEFENDS THE MEASURE
Denies That H3stility to the Catholic
Church Had Anything to Do
With 1t.

WASHINGTON. D. c., May 4.-The
Senate bill TO restrict immigration by the
application of the illiteracy test was to-day
the occasion of the delivery of two
speeches. one against and one for the bill.
Gibson of Maryland spoke in opposition
and Nelson of Minnesota in advocacy.
Gibson attributed the instigation of the
Dill to the American Protective Asso-
citation, which he characterized as a secret.
oa.h-bound, red-lettered, leftbanded,
dark-lanterned organization. The real
purpose OF the bill was, he asserted, hos
tility to the Catholic church.
Nelson defended the bill on account of
the necessity of restricting immigration,
and denied that the A. P. A. or hostility
to the Catholic church had anything to do
with it. No action was taken ON the bill,
1t having been taken up for the sole pur-
pose OF having these two speeches deliv-
cred.
The increase of bounties on sugar re-
Gently proposed in the German Reichstag
was noticed in the Senate to-day by
Caffery of Louisiana in some remarks on
bill providing for an increase of United
States duties in that and similar cases.
Finance. Caffery argued that its passage
was necessary in order to prevent the de-
struction of the sugar industry in the
United States.
The discussion of the question of Du-
points title to seat in the Senate from
Delaware came up again to-day. When
it was suspended two or three weeks ago
1t was with the understanding by unani-
nous consent that it was to be taken up
again after the passage of the river and
harbor bill, and that the final vote was to
be taken at . o'clock of the second day.
When German of Maryland referred to-
day to that unanimous consent OF agree
ment Mitchell of Oregon, in charge of the
resolution, admitted the correctness of
the statement, but added suggestively that
what the particular vote would be on
would be determined then. Platt of Con-
necticut made an argument in favor OF
Dupont's right.
When Platt suspended his speech until
tomorrow the Vice-President announced
the appointment of Senators Gray CD OF
Delaware and Seawell tR.) of New Jersey
as members of the board of visitors to
West Point Military Academy ,and of Sena-
tors Blackburn (D.) of Kentucky and Hale
(R.) of Maine to Annapolis.
Senate bill for monuments to the revo-
lutionary generals, Francis Nash and VIII
liam Davisson OF North Carolina-$5000 for
each-was passed.
The pension bills on the calendar were
then taken up and passed very expedi-
tiously to the number of sixty in half an
hour. Among them were the following:
House bill granting pension of $50 a
month to the widow of Brigadier. General
john Hough; Senate bill granting a pen
sion of SIS month to the widow of Rear
Admiral Walter w. Queen, and of $25 a
month to the daughter of Maior-General
Philip Kearney.
After short executive session the Sem
at 5:55 adjourned until tomorrow.

avenue was taken out rather hastily yes
terday afternoon at 5 o'clock by emissarIes
of the Salvation Army. Ex-Brigadier
Fielding of the army was out of the city
at the time this occurred. His wife and
four children, three of them infants, were
left on bare floors until the arrival of new
household goods. which Colonel Fielding
had ordered previously.
The furniture taken was the property of
the Salvation Army, in which Colonel
Fielding resigned his commission as briga-
dier six weeks ago TO join the volunteers.
Colonel Fielding, it is said, had requested,
even importuned, his successor. Brigadier
Brewer, to remove the property of the
army, but the family was by no means
sure when the vans would come to take it
away.

COLLAPSE OF A DERRICK
Twelve Men Badly Injured
While Working in the
Drainage Canal.
An Immense Wooden Structure Sud.
denly Blown Down by
Storm.

CHICAGO, ILL, May IA windstorm
of unusual severity this afternoon caused
the collapse of q ponderous derrick, used
in laying stone walls on the drainage
canal near Sag Bridge. Twelve men were
hurt, one perhaps fatally.
The injured: w. A. Connors, Iaborer in.
ternally injured; Timothy Grove, laborer,
leg and arm cut; Edmund Fitzmorris,
stone mason, arm broken and shoulder
bruised, taken to Mount Forest Hospital;
Charles Jones, laborer, face bruised
Charles Jordan, carpenter, hip dis.
located; Ii. J. Knetsch. engineer, legs
cut and chest bruised; E. M. Lentz laborer
deep cash in head, side injured; John
Murphy, stone mason, rib broken; Will
liam Norton, inspector, face cut, moy
lose right eye; Frank Rago, foreman, arm
broken, legs cut and face bruised; Frank
Reszch, laborer. face cut; Pat Roach,
stone mason, ribs broken, hurt internally,
may die.
Superintendent Madden's force of fifty
men was engaged in laying the stone wall
on the canal, when Assistant Superintend-
ent Of Derricks, A. Ward, saw slight
movement OF the truck wheels which
supported the movable structure. He
shouted to his men at the top of his voice,
but the whistling wind drowned his cries
and only few heard the summons.
The next moment the mammoth Frame
work of wood and iron crashed to the bot
tom of the canal, the fragments collecting
in solid mass. The arms of the derrick
were 120 feet long and go feet high, and
the men were disposed of along the wall to
height of thirty feet. Yet. when men
and derrick crashed to the ground only
twelve were injured, and only one is
thought to be fatally hurt.

Houtd Not Receive Pension after He
Atfnsent Ceased.

Atfnsent Ceased.
WESTCHESTER, Pa, May 14.-Samuel
Fetter. a miller in Chester Valley, has led
the pension authorities at Washington to
suspect that something is wrong with him
mentally because of his refusing to accept
a pension. During the war he was a brave
soldier and contracted a disease that left
effects which seemed likely to shorten his
days. He accordingly made application
for a pension and it was granted to him.
This was years ago.
Lately he has become much relieved of
his ailment. and believing that he is COM
pletely restored to health notified the au.
thorities to discontinue his pension. No
attention was paid to his reques and this
week another pay voucher came to him.
According to his previous determination
he returned this with full statement of
his not being entitled to receive pay. A
member of the bureau visited him expect
ing to find Iunatic, but instead he found
a clear minded and conscientious veteran,
and he returned to Washington with the
promise to have Mr.. Fetter's pay stopped.
This has been done.
