OUTLOOK Is INDEFINITE.
No Telling When Roberts COMMITTEES
Will Reach Conclusion.

Washington, Jan. 12.-The Roberts
investigating committee continued its
executive sessions today. Members of
the COMMITTEES said the outlook for

expressed for the purpose of securing
some common basis of understanding.
The absence of Mr.. Miers of Indiana
may delay a report until next week.
Chairman Tayler states that the lack
of a speedy report is in no way sig

AGAIN INTERRUPTED
Roosevelt Meeting Disturbed by Shouts
 for Bryan

Rochester, N. Y, October S0 - An at tempt was made today at Geneva to pre- vent Governor Roosevelt from speaking. The Governor was driven to an open stand near the depot, where he stood in the rain, while the local committee sent word to stop the blowing of the whistles which still continued. Judging from the applause, the crowd was largely with him, but there were a number on the outskirts of the crowd and in the windows of some build ings opposite the stand who assisted by the usual crowd of small boys. did what they could to interrupt him. The only cry that was inteligible from the stand was, "Hurrah for Bryan"
 Why" said the Governor, "because he is for Dick Croker? Because he is afraid to say what he will do about free silver? Does the gentleman say 'Hurrah for Bryan because he wants to haul down the flag? Is that the reason he says 'Hurrah for Bry an?
 Now, gentlemen" continued the Govern or, raising his voice so as to be heard above the turbulent cries which still con- tinued T want to say one thing to you here. There is one thing more important than any difference of policy among Amer jeans, and that is the keeping of our own self-respect. Whenever you a party that tries to interrupt a public speaker, you may be sure it is because they dare not hear the truth. MT. Bryan comes to this State, and l am proud to see that he is listened to with respectful attention wherever he goes, no matter how much people may differ from him on our public questions. No reflection can be cast on the followers of MT. Bryan when they ob- serve the law and respect free speech. But when they do not respect free speech they hurt none but themselves.
 Gentlemen" continued the Governor, "I appeal to you for the honor of the flag Indicating a large American flag which was on one of the stands), but he was in- terrupted by renewed cries of "Hurrah for Bryan" Gentlemen" said the Govern or, 'I want you to recollect what pretty poor showing you make when you try to interrupt an appeal to the flag"
 This remark caused the noise to diminish somewhat but 1t was soon renewed and continued. A great many of the disturbers here as in other places, were boys, but those in the windows of the buildings were men, one of them having a mega phone. Some small boys followed the train as 1t moved away, calling What about the canalS?"

TO PROVE THAT THE
 WORLD WAS FLOODED

To find conclusive evidence that the del- uge was universal, to discover facts which will prove that the waters covered "the face of the earth" as recorded in the Scriptures Is the object of a journey which a distinguished American geologist, the Rev. George Frederick Wright, is making over the Roof of the World,' the Central Asian plateau.
 The journey is full of peril and hardship, but Dr. Wright, who has faced the dangers of Arctic exploration and who has led haz- ardous expeditions over the glaciers of Alaska, is no stranger to such things. Though sixty-four years old, he is strong and vigorous. On the present expedition he is accompanied by his son. Frederick B. Wright, recently graduated from Yale col lege
 Both father and son were prisoners in the British legation during the siege of Pekin. After the rescue of the legationers they went to Vladivostock, and thence over the Trans Siberian road to Lake Baikal, in the great Siberian plateau.

MR. JOYOUS JONES
 AND JOY OF E[KS
Chief Joy Dispenser From the Eighth Ward and the
 Jolly Crew.

The Elks had their annual social session last night in their hall at Fourth avenue and Twentieth street. These social ses- sions of the Elks are always jolly occa- sions, and the one last night was about the jolliest that Lodge No. 79 ever held. There were present more than one hun dred members of the order and as many more of their friends who had been in vited to participate in the pleasures of the evening.
 A programme of fun and amusement had been prepared for the occasion, and this was carried out in the most enjoyable manner. Jolly Harry Jones, the popular Alderman from the Eighth ward, presided as master of ceremonies and chief dis penser of joys and fines. It is one of the established and universally-observed cus- toms of the Elks to conduct a mock court at their social sessions and to assess fines for various offenses against members who transgress the rules against fun and frolic. As presiding judge and arbiter of all funmakers the wiry and silent states man from the Eighth ward has no superior.
 A police force for the evening had been appointed, with E. L. Bridges, member of
 
 man J. H. McCary of the Police Commis- sion as his first lieutenant. Other members of the force were E. J. McCrossin, Pete Houppert and Tom Rensford
 Music was furnished by Prof. Grambs' orchestra.
 J. Cary Thompson and MT. Kendall gave a splendid sparrng exhibition, and Prof. c. H. Miles and MT. Kendall gave a five minute wrestling match, which resulted in a draw.
 Dr. J. E. Dedman, Birmingham's Her mann the Great, gave a sleight-of- hand per- formance that mystified and amused the audience. Dr. Dedman is a quiet and un- assuming man, and no one would have sus- pected that he had been such a devoted stu dent of the occult science.
 The most amusing performance of the evening perhaps was the bean soup con test, in which two negroes were the per- formers. A large bowl of soup was placed between the negroes and each was blind folded and given d large wooden spoon. The object was for each one to pour as much soup over the other possible, and the one succeeding best in this was to re- ceive the first prize of $100,000 as announced by Chief Joy Dispenser Harry Jones. The second prize was 50 cents. The contestants were named William Mckinley and William Jennings Bryan, and Mckinley won after a fierce contest that lasted until the entire assemblage of two hundred or more men had left their seats and gathered around the soup-eaters.
 At Il o'clock the Elks formed in a ring and drank the Il o'clock toast, a custom that is observed wherever an Elk lodge exists.
