Ways and Means Committee Will Not Pry
Into Oleomargarine Secrets.
WASHINGTON, April 24.-The ways
and means committee at a special meet
ing considered the resolutions 0. Repre-
~sentatives Tawney and Circuit. calling
on the internal revenue officials for
specific information concerning oleo.
margarine, and voted adversely on both
resolutions. The discussion was quite
brisk. as Mr.. Tawney was emphatic IN
the contention that as oleomargine was
q food product, congress and the public
were entitled to known its ingredients.
Against this, however, it was argued
that the law forbids the internal reve'
nue. officials from disclosing private
processes and business secrets. This
view prevailed and accordingly the com
mittee directed adverse reports.
Mr.. Tawney stated that there would
be a minority report and he would carry
the contest to the floor Of the house
where he believed the required informa
ton would be ordered.

MANY TOWNS IN DANGER.

The Fires Sweep Along an Extension Of
the Great Northern.
GRAND FORKS, N. d., April 24.-The
timber region along the line of the Du-
luth extension of the Great Northern is
in danger of suffering one Of the worst
fires it has ever known. Little snow
fell there last winter and the unusually
early spring has long since taken it
away. Not q drop of rain has fallen
this year and many Of the water courses
are drying up. High winds have pre-
vailed all spring and the forests are dry
as finder.
Small fires have been started here and
there, but until Friday they did little
damage. On Friday the wind attained
. velocity Of 80 miles an hour and the
whole forest seemed to be afame. The
territory most affected lies north OF
Leech lake, and runs about 60 miles
east and west. Many towns are in dan.

A D ID.
talks Of the Amnlgamation of Three
Religious

Religions
Tacoma (Wash.) Special New York
Times: Some Of the leaders OF reli-
gious thought In Japan are %endeavor-
inR to choose between Buddhism,
Shintoism and Christianity as the flu
ture religion of the empire. Others
would ~ama1gamate the best features OF
the several religions. One Of these Is
Count Okuna; one of the heads Of the
Japanese government. In an inter-
view reported in a Japanese newspaper
he says: 1.-THE fundamental idea of
Confucianism is b~enevolencs, that OF
Buddhism Is compassion or mercy and
that of Christianity love. These feel
ings form the basis Of all religion.
The founders of the different religions
knew their own people and their W
part of the world only, and hence could
not devise any system of teaching that
should suit all countries alike, but
they did an immense deal in the way
of drawing attention to the tmpor-
lance of certain principles. For the
multiplication of sects their disciples
are responsible. Their Interpretation
Of the meaning of the words said to
be used by the founders differed wide
ly, and each variation was perpetuated
by special forms and ceremonies. What
is most desirable now is to get rid OF
the supe%rstructure and lay bare the
foundation. Benevolence, compassion
and love! Cannot Buddhists, Chris
tians and Confucianists come together
on these principles and work in ha:-
mony? This union may not be wit
messed in my time, but 1t will come
some day." Some Of the Christian
churches in Japan are taking steps to
open a new divinity school to take the
place of the Doshisha Divinity hall,
which has been closed owing to a dis
agreement with the American Mis-
sionary board in New York, which sup
ported 1t. Hitherto the American
Board of Foreign Missions and the
Japanese churches have been acting
separately, but since the object is the
came, efforts will be made to unite the
two classes of workers.
