A COLO BILL PREPARED
Drafted by the Atlantic City Cur
rency Committee.
TO UNITE REPUBLICANS
It Is Said to Have Received the Hearty
Support of Mckinley = Will Be
Pushed Through the Next
Session of Congress-.

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Washington, May S.-Specific provis-
ion for the maintenance of the gold
standard is made in a bill drafted by
the Atlantic City currency committee
for submission to congress. This is in
keeping with the platform pledges of
the republican party, and should the
bill be enacted into a law it will empha-
size the financial issue in the next cam
paign. Other than single standard
provision, the essential features of the
bill are confined to three main princi-
pies, protection of the gold reserve by
placing the returned greenbacks in a
separate fund and paying them out
only for gold issue of national bank
currency to the face of the bond deposit,
and organization in small cities of ma
tional banks with a capital of $25000
instead of $4,000, as at present
The bill will not meet the wishes of
all advocates of currency reform, OF
course. but it is expected to consolidate
the republican strength in its support.
In that event it will be made law be-
fore the beginning of the next presiden-
tial campaign. Presuming that it has
only those features already mentioned,
it may be expected that the president,
when the proper time comes. Will give
it his hearty approval, for it is in exact
accordance with his recommendations.

A SERIOUS ISSUE.
A Blow at the Stability of Republican In
situations


Boston, May S.--The executive COM
mittee of the Anti-Imperialistic league
to-day adopted the following letter to
be sent to Edward Atkinson:
The executive committee of the
Anti-lmperialistic league thought it
proper to privately communicate at
once to the same persons to whom as
you advised us April % you had writ
ten to to express your intention of
mailing your pamphlets to soldiers in
the field, that the league did not de-
sire to circulate it's literature in this
manner. Inadvertence in expression.
doubtless accidentally, otherwise con-
veyed to the recipients of your letters
the impression that you had forward
ed the leagues publications for their
distribution.
What difference of opinion may ex-
ist as to the propriety of the circula-
ton which you suggest (but which
we understand has not been attempt
ED there should be only one opinion as
to the far more serious issue which
has been raised by your experiment of
sending copies of your pamphlet only
to Admiral George Dewey, President
Schurmann, Professor Worcester, Gen
eral Otis. General Lawton, General Mil
Ter and J. H. Bass
Against this act of arbitrary and
illegal power which would hardly be
attempted by any government of Eu-
rope, except perhaps that of Russia, the
league calls on all good American cit
liens to protest as serious blow to
republican institutions, which are now
so gravely threatened by imperial pol
icies at home and abroad

and Clarke county making H. NJ Par
chen and T. H. Kleinschmidt bondsmen
for H. c. Yaeger, administrator OF the
estate of William Crigie. liable for the
administrators shortage of $2,256- A
point raised by counsel for the bonds
men was that they had expressly stipu-
lated with Yaeger that he should not
file the bond until he had signed it.
He never signed 1t at the foot of the
bond, but he wrote his name three
times in the body of the bond. This
is held by the court to be a sufficient
signature.
TT is a matter of law immaterial
where the signature be: it is as bind
ing anywhere else in the paper as 1t
is when it appears at the end, the ques-
ton being always open to the jury
whether the party, not having signed
it regularly at the foot. meant to be
be bound by it as it then stood. or
whether he left it so unsigned because
he refused to complete it. The judg-
ment and the order denying new tri-
al are affirmed

&OOV,OOU.
Massillon, Ohio. May S.-The largest
conflagration in the history of Massil
lion swept Russell & Co.'S mammoth
thresher and engine plant tonight. de-
stroying property valued at fully $780,,
900. The fire started in the warehouse
at o'clock, and in spite of the efforts
of the various hose companies, gained
steady progress
In this structure were fully 800 fin
ished machines, and all were consumed.
Canton was wired for assistance, but
arrived too late to be of assistance. The
machine shops were saved.
Albert Bamberger. a volunteer fire
man, was killed by falling wall. In
the same catastrophe Christian l..
BaataZ workman, was probably
fatally injured. Both were in a gang
way between two buildings and We're
buried beneath tons of brick and burn
ing timbers. Firemen rushed to their
rescue and finally recovered the bodies.
The heat was so intense that the res
cuers were fairly clustered. although
constantly drenched with water.
Baataz was taken out alive. Both of
his legs and side We're crushed. His re-
covery is doubtful.
The company cannot estimate their
loss. but insurance only partially covers
it. The cause is unknown.
The flames arising from the buildings
were plainly seen in Canton, eight miles
distant, and hundreds covered the dis
lance on their wheels. Special trains
We're also run in.

ARCHBISHOP IRELAND
Delivered the Address at the Joan of
Arc Celebration at Orleans.

Orleans France. May S.-The annual
celebration of the delverance of Orleans
by Joan of Arc was held here to-day with
the customary ceremonies. salute of y
guns was fired at sunrise and all the bells
in the city were rung. At 10 o'clock the
municipal and other bodies went to the
cathedral which was decked with flowers
and flags. as is the custom on grand oc-
caSons The nave was festooned with
drapery and flags. There was an enor-
nous crush of people seeking admission
to the cathedral. A cantata was rendered
by 400 performers. Among those present
was descendant of Joan of Arc, an ar
tillery captain named Delagatto, who is
stationed a Versailles.
Archbishop Ireland. the orator of the
occasion, spoke in French. In beginning
his Grafton Archbishop Ireland said that
if there was any surprise that a stranger
should be the orator on such an occasion
as this. it must be remembered that Joan
of Arc not only belonged to France. but
to the human race generally. After an
eulogy of Joan of Arc Archbishop Ire
land said that he was happy to seize the
occasion to tell of his unspeakabe affec-
ton for France, which was the land of
his youth and the school of his soul
After the Grafton a cortese proceeded to
the site of the old fort of Ournettes,
which was captured by Joan of Arc on
May s, 1920. The procession included Off
Gals of the department and city. the fire
brigade and many civic societies. The
route along which the procession passed
was lined with troops. Afterwards the
cortege returned to the cathedral, where
a TIE Deum was sung. Tonight there
We're fireworks and a torchiight process

USE OF INCENSE.
An Important Stage in the Ritualistic
Controversy.

An Important stage in the Ritualistic
Controversy.
London, May S.-An important stage
in the ritualistic controversy opened TO-
day when Right Honorable and Most
Reverend Frederick Temple. archbish
op of Canterbury and primate of all
England, the Right Honorable and Most
Reverend William Dalrymple MacLag-
an, archbishop of York, sitting as a
set of the constituted tribunal, began
a hearing of the charges against Rev
Henry Westal1. vicar Of st. Cuthbert's
Philbeach Gardens, of ceremonial use
of incense and lights, and the Rev.
Edward Ram, vicar of the department
of ST. John, Timberhill Norwich, on
the charge of ceremonial use Of in
cense.
Messrs. Westall and Ram will have
the assistance in the ecclesiastical trial
of a number of experts on the uues-
tion of the ritual, including the Rev.
r. P. Perceval. rector of the Church
Of the Evangelists in hiladelphia. The
decision of the archbishop will not be
binding, except as to the conscience of
any one. nor will it be enforcible, but
naturally 1t will have immense moral
wight. The chief purpose of this archi-
episcopal inquiry is to avoid reference
to the secular courts.
A large assemblage and well known
clergymen We're present in the historic
guard room of Lambert's palace when
the archbishop of Canterbury opened
the proceedings with an examination
of the nature of the hearing Argu-
ments of counsel on both sides of the
question followed.

the 16-year-old daughter of a farmer
residing near this city, committed sui
eide while respondent over the death
of her soldier sweetheart, George Hoar,
who fell before Caloocan while fight
ing with the LIST Nebraska. Hoar was
a neighboring farm boy, and the two
had attended the same country school.
The sorrowing girl took her father's
shotgun and, retiring to her room, went
to work deliberately to prepare for her
death. She removed one Of her slip
pers and, placing the muzzle of the gun
over her heart, pushed the trigger OF
the weapon with her toe. Death was
instantaneous. The girl left a letter to
her parents saying she could not bear
her grief any longer and preferred
death,

Washington, May S.-The Berlin cable
Indicating the failure of the proposed
legislation for the abatement of the re-
strictions upon the importation into
Germany of American meat products
was received here with grave apprehen-
sion. 1t is beginning to suggest itself
to the officials that however well dis

A HAPPY HIT
Was Made by Ambassador Choate at the
Sailors Society.

Was Made by Ambassador Choate at the
Sailors Society.
London. May S.--The United states
ambassador. Joseph A. Choate, was the
central figure at the annual meeting to-
day of the British and Foreign Sailors
society at the Mansion house. The lord
mayor, Sir John Vocemoore. presided
and the assemblage was a brilliant one.
The duke of Fife, in introducing Mr..
Choate. said:
II ask you to give warm and Wig
orous welcome to one of American s
most brilliant sons
The duke then presented Mrs. Choate
with a beautiful book of the record OF
the society's work. A letter from Pres
ident Mckinley was read expressing
warm appreciation of the labors of the
society and saying:
This is a great year for the Anglo
Saxon race and the sailors of both ma
tions are coming in for a full share OF
praise for their splendid achieve
ments."
Mr.. Choate, on rising. was received
With ringing cheers and the audience
rose to it's feet en- masse. Mr.. Choate
made a brilliant speech. He made a
happy hit by saying, with reference to
the name of the socity, that he was
neither British nor foreign, but simply
an American.
But" added Mr. Choate. every
American is entitled to feel sympathy
with such a society as this in view of
its historic interest. inasmuch as it's
founder. Admiral Cambion, signed the
treaty of peace of 1914, the treaty which
has never been broken by the two ma

MADE A PROTEST
Against the Exclusion of the Chinese
From Cuba aud Porto Rico.


From Cuba aud Porto Rico.
Washington, May S.-The Chinese le-
cation here has made strong protest
to the state department against the eX-
tension of the Chinese exclusion act to
Cuba, this having been one result of a
recent executive order extending the
immigration laws of the United States
to Cuba and Porto Rico.
Mr.. Young Kwai, an attache of the
legation. said to-day that the legation
had made such protest, and that in
view of the fact that the Chinese would
make the best kind of citizens for the
settlement of Cuba he believed that the
order would be modified so as not to
exclude his countrymen.
THE dowager empress he added.
has recently granted the most liberal
protection to Americans and wishes TO
become more closely allied with Amer
lea, and this country will be going
against its own interests if it refuses
to meet China half way
Secretary Hay said later that the
matter was under consideration by the
state department.
