of Marshalltown, the oldest minister
present. DR., Heron has sent letter

in his own defense dealing with
marriage and divorce in general
He asserts that the present marriage
system is survival of slavery and is
neither sacred nor good.
The full text of Professor Herron's
letter shows that his only reference
to his former wife is as the mother
of his children, and that he does not
lay any blame upon her.
Evidence was introduced to show
cruel treatment of his unusually loyal
and devoted wife, which finally re-
suited in divorce proceedings and a
legal separation. The council de-
cided that the charges were sustained
and voted unanimously to expell him
from the church.

Washington, June 5.-The cabinet
yesterday unanimously decided that
existing conditions did not warrant
the calling Of an extra session Of con-
gress. Secretary Root and Attorney
General Knox both rendered legal
opinions to the effect that the author
ity to govern the Philippines vested in
the president by the Spooner amend
ment was ample. The reports were
concurred in by all the members of the
cabinet. The decision of the cabinet
was announced after the meeting in
the following statement Issued by
Secretary Cortelyou:
'"The president has determined that
existing conditions do not require or
warrant calling congress together
during the present summer or making
any change in the policy hitherto pur.
sued and announced in regard to the
Philippine islands"
1t can be positively stated that the
Dingley rates upon goods from the
Philippines entering the United States
will remain in force as heretofore. The
president will put into effect such
changes in the tariff duties on goods
going into the Philippines as the Taft
commission may recommend. The es
tablishment of civil government in the
archipelago can proceed without inter
ruption as soon as the military author

TEXAS TOWN WIPED OUT.

Beaumont, Tex, June 3.-The little
town of Jasper was entirely wiped out
yesterday by fire. Seventeen houses.
including every business house in the
place and number of residences, were
destroyed. The town has no fire de-
partment. Previous to the fire the
postoffice safe and the safe of the coun-
ty treasurer had been blown open and
robbed. The conclusion is that burg
lars blew these safes and then set fire
to the town to cover up their crime
and create an excitement which would
afford them an opportunity to escape.
The loss by the fire is estimated at
100000. Could not be learned what
the thieves secured from the safes.
The robbers escaped.
