Over an Audience of 5000 People at |
The Auditorium.

Chicago, Oct. 1S.-Eight thousand peo-
pie packed within the walls of the Aud
itorium building today witnessed the
formal opening exercises of the national
peace jubilee. All that had preceded to-
days great meeting was merely pre-
li3ninary in it's nature and most of it
in honor of the president personally.
Today however, the actual jubilee be-
gan.
The weather was cold and damp with
lowering skies and a raw wind blowing
off the lake compelled people to hug
the lee side of buildings and seek warm
corners hut the crowd was closely pack
ed around the building for fully an
hour before the doors We're open. The
people came rapidly and long before the
great hall was packed from pit to
dome.
The exercises opened with a short ad-
dress by Chairman Charles Truax of
the jubilee committee, at the conclusion
of which he introduced the presiding Of
f1cer, George R. Peck. Mr.. Peck's ad-
dress was greeted with great applause.
After Mr.. Peck had terminated his
address, he introduced Mayor Harrison
of Chicago who delivered the formal ad-
dress of welcome to President McKin-
ley and the strangers who had come to
Chicago to witness the ceremonies of
jubilee week. The president who re-
ceived a most enthusiastic welcome as
he entered the building made no formal
reply to the address of welcome, not
withstanding the large calls that were
made upon him for a speech.
Following the address of Mayor Har-
rison came Archbishop Ireland Of st.
Paul.

NO HALL AT ALL.
Topeka Will Soon Be Without
a Convention Hall.
Hamilton Hall to Be Utilized
For a Business Firm.
TOPEKA MUST STIR
About Lively and Build Hall
Big Enough.
It Ought to Hold at Least 5000
People.

Hamilton hall will soon be used as
store room and Topeka will have to
build an auditorium or do without
large hall of any kind.
This morning D. H. Martin, who has
charge of the hall for the receivers, IN
formed the Karniva1 knights that the
hall would pass from his charge under
three year lease and that he could make
no bookings for it.
THE deal has been under discussion
for some time said Mr.. Martin, an1 1
now it is practically closed. The hall
will be leased for three years and used
as a store room. do not wish to give
the name of the party who will lease 1t
as the contract has not been signed just
what will be done with the hall DO
not know but I think it will be filled
with goods. I shall notify all parties
who hold dates ahead for the use of the
hall as soon as the contract is made,
that they must consult the lessee. 1t
may be that the hall will not be used
until after the first of the year.
When Hamilton hall ceases to be a
gathering place Topeka will be without
a hall that will accommodate over 1,0OO
unless the opera houses are reSOrted to.
When Topeka finds herself in the
same predicament for a large hall that
was experienced before Hamilton hall
was built, the need of an auditorium
will be felt more than ever. There is
no place where such gatherings as the
Butter Makers convention, Pure Food
show and political conventions can be
held.
At present the Karnival Knights are
making arrangements for a grand ball
to be given November %, but unless
Hamilton hall can be secured the ball
cannot be given on the large scale that
it was planned, as there is no hall or
building that can accommodate the
number of people that would take part.
1t is thought the Grand Opera hose will
have to be utilized.
Mr. Martin would not state who the
parties were that would control the hall.
but it is understood that it will be used
as an annex for the Model Supply Com
pany's store on Sixth and Quincy
streets.
DR.. w. c. Hamilton said when
started to build in 1892 Topeka was sore
pressed for a hall and Isthough I would
should be had large enough to accom-
modate the conventions and gatherings
that come here. It was completed in
1898 and had I received the support I
should have from the people of Topeka
would have improved it. The hall
was built with the expectation that a
balcony to hold 700 people would be put
have been a paying investment had the
taxes not been so enormously high and
the people working against the interests
of it instead of for it. I tried to have
the Auditorium Association take the
hall at a figure that only amounted to
what the building cost, to say nothing
of the lots. Now it is too late and the
L am sorry, but did my part toward
furnishing Topeka with what was
needed
Hamilton hall was never large enough
Tor convention purposes and an auditor
1um is now an imperative necessity.

PRAYER FOR PORTO RICO.
Episcopal Bishops Take Cognizance
of Its Formal Occupation Today

Washington. Oct. 18.-This govern
ment's assumption of sovereignty over
Porto Rico at noon today was the sub
ject of an eloquent prayer at the re-
Hg1ouS services of the Episcopal conven-
tion, the bishops and deputies having
decided that suitable reference be made
to this national event. The prayer was
prepared by Bishop Satterlee of Wash
ington and was as follows:
20, God, whose province orders all
things in heaven and earth and whose
will controlleth the issues and events
of the life of nations, we acknowledge
Thy goodness which has guided and
blessed the counsels and arms of our
nation to the relief of an oppressed peo-
pie and to the victories of peace. Guard
US from all sins of self-seeking and
vain glory. Fill us with the spirit of
wisdom and of Thy holy fear. Humble
US under the burden of the new duties
with which every move is charged.
Strengthen the hands and sanctify the
hearts of those upon whom must come
the solemn decisions of this hour and
in the new countries and among the ma
tiOnS to which on this day and from this
day our rule is to extend. Grant US
grace to establish upon the best and
SureSt foundation the sovereignty of
good government through liberty, JUS
tice and love that seeking in all things
to do Thy will, we may be the instru-
ments of Thy glory through Jesus
Christ, our Lord. Amen"

presiding officer of the house of depu-
ties joined in directing the services and
all the bishops and deputies united in
the national prayer.
At the business session of the depu-
ties the standard Bible came up for
discussion, and steps were taken to
guard this standard by constitutional
provisions Rev. DR.. Fulton, of Phil
adelphia, had submitted a series of
queries as to the existence of a stan
dard Bible, to which a committee re-
ported that the church had a standard,
namely that published in 1912 and
adopted in general convention in 1928.
that no alterations had been made since
then and that the exclusive use of the
standard Bible was obligatory. In view
of the report a resolution was adopted
directing the preparation of a suita BILE
constitutional provision establishing the
standard Bible and fixing the manner
of it's alteration.

GEN. BROOKE TO REIGN
Supreme in Porto Rico Pending 9th
er Arran gements

Washington, Oct. 1S.-General Brooke
has plenary powers in Porto Rico and will
have sole charge of the government of the
island until some other arrangements are
made. It is possible that the president
may designate a military governor of the
island to act in that capacity until con-
gress can provide for a territorial civil
government. No instructions have been
sent to General Brooke regarding his du-
ties after today when the island formally
passes over to the United States and all
Spanish authority is withdrawn. but he is
acquainted with the proclama tiOns of the
president regarding the management of
affairs. General Brooke, it is understood
will return to the United States as soon
as the affairs of the island become set
tied, but probably before that time mill
tary government will be named as was
done at Santiago.

DRAMA AND FASHION.
Paris Society Absorbed by Warfare
on Theater Hats

Paris, Oct. 1S.-Now that the theatrical
season has begun in earnest, Partisan So
ciety is absorbed by the revival of the
question whether managers will make use
of the authority given them last Monday
by the municipal statute to prevent wo
men wearing their hats during the per-
fOrmance.
Leading artists such as Sarah Bern
hardt. Rejane, Jeanne Grannier, Jane
Harding, Julia Bartet Sara, the two Co
queEns Mounet-SuIly, and others, in the
course of interviews, have pronounced un-
hesftatingly in favor of not wearing hats
in theaters, especially those with feathers
or tall sprays.
The Countess de Greffuhle seems to have
set the fashion by appearing at one of the
boulevard thea terS in a delightfully."- be-
coming compromise, consisting of a gar
land of artificial flowers, arranged with
network of tulle and jewels, interviewer
in her hair and close to the head, so as
not to interfere with view of the stage.

ELLIS COUNTY'S FIGHT
To Keep the Russians From Running
the Whole County.

J. E. Basgal, candidate for the legis-
Iature on the Democratic ticket from
Ellis county, is in Topeka today. F'us-
ion prevails in Ellis county, but it
doesn't help Mr.. BasgaI any. as the
fusion is between the Republicans and
Populists to defeat the Democrats, who
are nearly all Russians and insist on
running Russian candidates. The same
parties fused last year, bu tstil the
Democrats won. This year they fused
on two county offices, and the Republi-
cans are attempting to arrange fusion
on the balance. Ellis county is largely
populated by Russians, who never vote
anything but the straight Democratic
ticket, and they are generally able to
elect it over all opposition.

evening the bead-tsrings of tncandes-
cent lamps hanging over the business
district burst into a glow Of beauty.
Then the show was on.
Half an hour before the streets had
been fairly busy with the passing sight
seers; now they became thrOnged. The
blazing, flashing, beWilderlnS glare OF
light and color drew out the crowds as
the single arc lamp attracts the myr-
lads of moths and futtering insects.
In State street, from Lake to Harri-
son, the festOOns of lights swung across
the street, Illuminating the faces of the
big stores. Flags and banners huttered,
and bunting and streamerS of red, white
and blue were everywhere.
Underneath the light and color was
such a passing multitude as State street
has not held since the Worlds fair.
From one side of the thOrOughfare to
the other was a moving, surging sea of
humanity. There were no sidewalks in
the street-at least not sidewalks where
the people walk in distinction to the
highway reserved for vehicles. The en-
tire street was one cOmmond walk. PeO-
pie paraded down the car tracks just
as if they were walking by the show
windows, and street car conductors ran
ahead of their cars and pushed careless
prOmenaderS by main force off the
tracks. The crowds had taken posses
sion of the streets, and a cab was re-
garded as an intrusion just as it would
be on ordinary occasions if it were
driven along some of the promenades
in Lincoln Park.
The municipal arch at Washington
and La Sale streets was admired by
thousands. Just at dark the artists
completed their work and then the
myriad electric lights that fringe the
edges and bring it's illustrations into
fine relief were turned on The pictures
and staff corporations stood out clearly
in their glare. The war heroes to whom
honor is given in this finest of the arch
es are Generals Miles, Brooke, Shafter,
Lee, and Chaffee, ,COlonels Turner, ,Moul-
ton, and Kavanagh of the army; Ad-
mirals Dewey, Sampson, and Schley,
Captains Clark, Evans, Philip, and
Wainwright, and Lieutenant HObson of
the navy. A tablet on the east end
bears this salutation:
Chicago saIutes the heroes of the army
and swells the hallelujah that halls their
return from camp and trench and field.
Heroes whose valor in action and forti-
tude in hardship have won tributes from
every land. Hurrah for the American
soldier, the young and the old, the blue
and the gray, who shouted Ready when
the nation called.
On the west end is this tablet:
Chicago salutes the heroes of the navy
and joins the chorus of jubilatiOn over
their triumphs for the. flag. ,triumphs
given the nations a new conception of
American power, skill and daring. The
memories that cluster around Manila bay
AMI Santiago harbOr will live a s long as
heroism is honored and heroes rewarded,
forever.
