Powers counsel that he would attend at any time without subpoena and that arrangements were made for MT. Morgans voluntary appear ance next week.
 Apparently because of the inability of the counsel to reach his process service" says MT. Stetson. flor which miscarriage he has written to me expressing his re- gret, MT.

EMPEROR PLEASED WITH YACHT.
1t Is Named for Alice Roosevelt and
 Is Beautifully Decorated.

Berlin, March 22.-The yacht which Elm peror William has named Alice Roose- welt" is beautifully decorated in the mod ern, impressionistic style which His Majesty disapproved of in his recent art utterances. Nevertheless the Emperor was greatly pleased with the decorations when he saw the yacht at Kiel this week. The artists were selected by Admiral von Thomasen. The walls are done in ser pentine effects, the wood work Is silver gray and the upholstery is of strange vivid tints. The yacht was built in the form of a torpedo boat.
 The Alice Roosevelt, which still lies at Kiel will be transferred to Wilhelms- haven soon for the use of the Admiral von Thomsen as commander of the North Sea squadron. Prince Henry, with the first squadron, will visit Spanish waters in May when the young King of Spain is enthroned.
 Prince Henry's son Waldemar appears to be more seriously i'll than supposed last week when he went to the White Stage sanitarium at Dresden. He has difficulty in walking, is carried about good deal and rides in pony cart
 Waldemar celebrated his 18th birthday Thursday. His presents included some of the things Prince Henry brought from the United States.

LOWTHER EXPLAINS
 QUEER DOCTRINE
HE BELIEVES THE SERPENT WHO TEMPTED EVE WAS A MAN AND GIVES REASONS FOR SUCH BE. LIEF-IS ENDORSED.

Kansas City, March PA special to the Star from McPherson says: The Rev. Granville Lowther, against whom charges of heresy have been preferred in the Methodist Episcopal conference to meet In Arkansas City next week, has been practically sustained by his church in this city. A canvass of the membership shows that four-fifths of the members are for sustaining him.
 The Rev Lowther today explained his idea of the temptation of Eve which teaching caused the filing of the charges against him. He said
 On the temptation of Eve we maintain that the language used, with reference to the serpent that tempted Eve was fgu- rative rather than literal that the methods used were serpentine, subtle and deceptive in this nature; that the serpent was man of the same race to which Ad n and Eve belonged
 ''The account of the tempation was written by Moses at least 2500 years after the temptation. It would be perfectly natural that the spiritual idea would be lost sight of and that the sight of and the sign stand for the things signifled. This makes the temptat tion harmonize with the temptations of men today. makes it harmonize with reason and does no violence to the sacred record while any other theory we have read that requires miracle is irrational and unnatural We do not deny the power of God to perform miracles, but when the scripture can be made more reasonable without a miracle, we prefer the rational interpretation

PRINTERS NOT AFFECTED.
President Gives an Explanation of His
 Recent Order.

Washingto March 22.-President Law son and Secretary Garrett of Columbia Typographical Union No. 11O, called on the President today and made inquiry as to how far the executive order prohibiting persons In executive employ from inter ceding for advancement would affect com mitteemen from taking an active part in matters pending in Congress affecting the organization of printers as whole. The President replied through Secretary Cor telyou substantially as follows:
 '"rhe President directs me to state that he has come to the concrusion that the legislation to which you refer is legisla- tion affecting the interest not of govern ment printers as such, but of printers generally but if that is the case, there is nothing in the Presidents order which in any way interferes with your taking interest in such legislation in the future as in the past, nor is there the slightest order of any members of the association to which you belong resigning for that reason from the positions enumerated in your letter."

 George Lamb for Peter Powers made the following statement tonight:
 T have reason to believe that Mir. Nor gan would not willingly accept the ser vice, and in making service in the manner in which he did, the process service man employed by me merely fulfilled his duty as a process server.
 Until 4:3O yesterday afternoon I had not received notification that MT. Morgan would voluntarily testiry. put I should be led to believe that he would not testify unless he was duly suppoenaed. It is re- gretable that upon receipt of this noti- fication l was unable to recall all my subpoena service. but I certainly will not repudiate the act of a man who was em- ployed by me and who sought to serve me zealousy."

Henry WattersOn Makes Scathing Attack on Rough Rider
 President
FEELING AGAINST MILES
 IS OF LONG STANDING
Says Miles Was in Service of His Country When the Chance oc- cupant of White House Was
 Fighting Nursery Battles.

New York, March 22.-(Special)-The New York Journal will tomorrow print the following interview fem it's Washing ton correspondent with Henry Watterson on the Miles affair:
 Little need be added to what has been said already as to the case of General Miles. From the day when he refused to become an orderly for the administration he was marked for punishment. Whilst MT. Mckinley lived this was limited to condemnation chiefly, but with the advent of MT. Roosevelt a more drastic course Of proceeding was adopted.
 "The President fairly leaped at the first chance to assail and numiliate General Miles that offered itself, or rather that seemed to offer itself, for he had as matter of fact no. authority either under the constit ution of the United States or the articles of war, to reprimand that general except for a single offense.
 "As I have repeatedly shown, without contradiction or denial, the only act for which, under the articles of war, the President may reprimand an officer is in- decent behavior at divine worship. Gen eral Miles has not as yet been ever ac- cused of that.
 Shameful to Forge Pretext.
 ITO forge a pretext for the President the law ruling in such cases was shame fully garbled. The head and front of Miles offending was that he agreed with Dewey. Yet Funston is permitted, and even encouraged, to roam at large abus- ing his betters without stint or limit,
 Retirement is the club which is held by chance occupant of the White House over the head of the lieutenant general of the army who was fighting the battles of his country when our puisant Presi- dential broncho-buster was fighting the battles of the nursery Just now this club is particularly in evidence, the occa- sion being General Miles opposition to the administrations new army bill
 This bill ought to be entitled an act to make the President of the United States military dictator, because in eff feet, that is precisely what 1t proposes
 "The President has so long and so suc- cessfully played the part of the cowboy in politics that he really aspires to be- come the man on horseback. Differences of opinion are not be be endured. The intolerance which marked the Dreyfus epoch in France Is to be the rule or meas ure of the American war department An astute and very able New York at torney and politician is to find the law for it. Because he answered the call of a committee of Congress, Miles is to be retired
 Moral: Let the officers of the army beware. Result; arbitrary power culmi- hating In absolution. Thus slowly but surely is the administration Mexicaniz- ing the government of the United States"
