Salaries of Supreme Court
Justices.

2 Washington, Jan. 31:-An extended
speech on the pending Philippine tar
if bill was delivered in the senate
today by Mr.. Morgan Of Alabama, who
devoted particular attention to an
amendment he offered to the bill last

would not be a constitutional remedy
for the situation the measure is de-
signed to relieve; but said that with
the addition of his amendment the
bill would stand the closest scrutiny
Ct the courts. The Alabama senator
did not discuss the special features Of
the Philippine question. devoting his
entire speech to a consideration of
the legal and constitutional issues
laised by the presentation Of the tar

His Brother.

Lewistown, Jan. 21.-paul Cooley
was arrested yesterday on Breed
creek, a few miles from here, by I'm
der Sheriff Slater. He is charged with
assault with a deadly weapon. The
charge is preferred by Pete Daniels.
A more serious charge win probably
be preferred, as Frank Daniels lies
dead at his home on the outskirts of
LeWistcwn as the result of being
struck with a siX-shooter in the hands
of Cooley. The blow was struck while
the men were employed at the Cruise
ranch on Wind creek, about the first
of January, and during a quarrel be
tween the two. While young Daniels
lay dead, Cooley rode past the house
and shot at Pete Daniels twice, it is
claimed, through the door. Cooley
denies this and states that he was
shooting at some dogs that ran out
after his horse. A jury was impan-
eled yesterday for the purpose of
viewing the body of Frank Daniels,
and an inquest will be held.

WON ON A FOUL.
Mill Ended In Seventh Round BY De.
cision of Referee.

San Francisco, Jan. 81 In the
seventh round of what was to have
been a 20-round encounter between
George Gardner Of Lowell, Mass, and
Jack Root of Chicago, the latter was
awarded a decision, here tonight. upon
claim of foul. In the hurricane fight
that developed Gardner was the ag-
gressor. but Root was the superior
boxer. The Lowell mar was beaten
and finally forfeited the fight upon
a blow conceded by a majority of the
spectators to have been a straight
foul. Gardner found in Root no such
easy opponent as kid" Carter had
been, nor did Root find in Gardner
so easily handled a man as Byers,
when the two met here. Gardner,
however, fought on the outside in a
wild and uncertain style, while Root
fought on the inside determinedly and
we'll. Gardner suffered the disad-
vantage of having his left eye practi.
cally closed by a right hand punch l
the second round and he was never
himself after that.

London, Feb. IA sensational dis
pute between a wealthy mother and

DR.. Pearson repudiates the rcsurrec-
ton as strongly as he does the virgin
birth. He maintains in rather terse
language that the story of the esur-
rectiOn is a myth.
He takes up the different attributes
OF Christ's character and treats them
separately, but always with the under
standing between his reader and him
self that they are the attributes Of
a human being who was practically
perfect and godlike. but was a human
being still. The %friendliness of Christ
is the main theme of n of the most
sympathetic chapters of the book.
pie caption Prayer" He does not
hold that prayer is directly answered,
but he does hold that if no other good
can come from praying than the re-
lief which it gives to the burdened
mind and conscience the simple act
of praying is beneficial and strength
ening. In speaking of the book a
friend of Professor Pearson said:
"'The Carpenter Prophet is the
work of a man who. while he does not
believe that Christ was God, has been
able to present the beauties of the
life of Jesus and of his teachings in a
way that is more lovingly sympathetic
by far than are books Of many of so
called orthodox writer's

LOOK OUT FOR SMOKE.
Millions Of Cigars Enroute From the
Philippines.

San Francisco. Jan. 31.-Private adj
vices from Manila received in this
city state that there are over 1000, 900
cigars on the way from the Philip
pines to this country. 1t is thought
that before the end of February or by
the middle of March at latest there
will be ten times that number consign,
ed to American ~tobacconists from the
same quarter of the world. The letter
also states that the different factories
in the islands are working night and
DAY. There seems to be a fear in the
islands that the present revenue law
will be revoked, and the manufacture
ers Of Manila are determined to take
every advantage Of the opportunity.

CARELESS OF N
Large Amounts Carried in the Mails
insecurity Wrapped.


Washington, Jan. 31.-Remarkably
careless practices in the transmission
of large amounts of currency by mail
to Cuba are complained of in a report
received today by Postmaster General
Payne from Director General Fosnes,
of the Cuban postal service. The reg
istered mail is being regularly and
largely used for the transmission OF
money between the United States ana
Cuba. MI. Fosnes says that with
liberal use of strong paper, Irvine and
sealing wax, it is possible to SO wrap
these packages that they cannot break
open and Subject officials to unWar
ranted stress of te%mptation.'
Mr.. Fosnes reports:
Yesterday there was received in
Havana in transit to Cienfuegos from
the National Bank of Commerce of
New York City "a package bearing
$7.44 in postage. and weighing three
pounds, and which may have contain
GU oil q i'C IA ! : .
Through openings in the package
were bills of large denominations in
plain sight of half a dozen clerks. The
railway mail clerks probably learned
of the contents from the Havana
clerks, and tonight the package may
be lying outside the safe in the Glen
fuegos postoffice, because of its size.
Last week the attention of a bank
was called to the careless name in
which a package of. currency contain
ing $20,0 900 in currency had been pre-.
pared for mailing. The paper wrap
per was worn and the money exposed
to plain view. The normal risk in the
mails of normous sums of money is
great enough. and should not be in
creased by occular revelation of the
contents"

CHRIST o DIVINE.
This the Assertion Of Pearson, the
CHICAGO "Heretic."

Chicago, Feb. Professor Charles
w. Pearson, of Northwestern univers-
ity, has written a book named 'The
Carpenter Prophet. In it he goes be-
yond anything that he before has writ
ten or said touching his belief. He
specifically denies the virgin birth,
the miracles, the resurrection and the
ascension into heaven.
Professor Pearson absolutely de-
MES the divinity of Christ save in the
sense that all men of noble qualities
of mind and heart have in them a
spark of divinity. This denial, in the
face of the Methodist articles of be-
lief, makes a Unitarian of Professor
Pearson. He states specifically that
Christ was a great leader, a great
teacher, in fact. the true elder brother
Of mankind, but that he was of human
birth and a lineage like unto other
men.
One long chapter is devoted to, the
miracles. They are rejected root and
branch. The Methodist teaching holds
that without the resurrection OF Chris,
the whole fabric falls to the ground
