An Injunction Secured to Prevent
Transfer of Members-AlleSa-
tiOns of Fraud.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Cedar Rapids, Iowa, April 3.-The an
cient Order of the Red Cross is said to
have been gobbled up by the noted DR.. E..
C. Spinney, formerly of this state, but
now of Omaha. 1t had about 1000 mem
bers in Vinto and strong lodges in the
surrounding towns.
The Vinton lodge became suspicious and
appointed an investigation committee yes
terday. The members went to Waverly,
where the head offices of the lodge are
located, only to find that DR.. Spinney,
who Is president of the Bankers Union of
Omaha, had taken the books and other eff
fects Of the order to Omaha. aa
An injunction was secured to prevent
the transfer Of the 5000 members of the
Red Cross and the $4,000 in assets which
had been taken to the Bankers union,
and an application was made for receiv-
er for the Red Cross.
Many of the lodges charge that their
members have been Systematically robbed
and Former Secretary Albert M Potter,
it is stated, made good one shortage OF
$4,000. The Vinton committee will inter
view State Auditor Merriam and will com
mence proceedings at once.

REED ON NEWSPAPERS
Former Speaker Talks to Publisher
at Their Annual Banquet.

New York Evening Post.
FORMER Speaker Thomas B. Reed was
one of the guests at the sixteenth annual
dinner of the American Newspaper Pub
toria the other night. He responded to
the toast, Journalism from the Outside"
He said in part
1T must be confessed that know very
little about newspapers, nor do purpose
to tell you all the secrets of the great
power of newspapers. One of the reasons
why do not is because don't know, and
1t would be unbecoming for me to assume
this editorial function before this audi
ence. 1t happened to me to try that many
years ago, and I am lost in wonder to
think by what big majority the man was
elected whose unftness had been made so
elOquently manifest. But, however ignor-
ant a man may be, or, in this case, how
ever modest he may be, nobody can fail
to notice the tremendous growth of news
papers, not only In numbers but in size
Journals in cities have become the ency-
clopedias of what has happened all over
the world. What the end will be no man
can tell. Even now, If man were to
keep files Of his papers he would have to
live outdoors himself.
There is one cause or the power Of the
newspaper which people little think Of
Men are products Of their ancestors as
well as Of their surroundings. Printed
words have been sacred for centuries.
What was IN books seemed to be the sea-
soned wisdom of mans careful thought.
A large part OF the old reverence re-
mains, though things have so utterly
changed. To say that newspaper is yes
terday's gossip is unfair, and yet it Is
only the record Of a day. Even editorials
are but Of time. They have no more i'm
mortality than congressional speeches.
Perhaps you expect that would find
fault with newspapers. But won, They
have the last word, and I am not at all
sure of saying anything of use News
papers are what they are by virtue of a
power greater than themselves They are
much more the product of readers than Of
the editors and publishers. Newspapers
do not impart absolute verify or absolute
wisdom. A sound philosopher has said
that the conversation even OF the wise is
only an exchange Of inaccuracies. The
newspaper would be better If the sub
scriber was, an devon preachers would
be better II the congregations would let

ter Steward, Calls on the Gov.
J. N. Rogers, recently dismissed from
his position as steward of the st. Peter
hospital, called on Governor Van SAINT
yesterday, in company with his attor-
ney, A. A. Stone. Mr.. Rogers says he
does not want a reinstatement. He would
not 20 back to the institution under DR..
Tomlinson, but he wants the investiga-
ton begun by the board Of control to go
to the bottom Of things. He believes that
all the trouble dates from the first twenty
days of the fiscal year when a green man
was working as steward and got things
badly confused He and the bookkeeper
had a great time Strengthening out the
tangle. Since then neither has slept at
the institution, and DR.. Tomlinson has
had key to the storehouse. He believes
that when he was absent and supplies
were wanted the storeroom was entered
and supplies taken without requisition.
He does not question that they were used
for the state, but holds that there was
looseness for which he was not respon-
sible. xS,E a

toward DR.. Tomlinson. They allege that
he made scape-goats of Rogers and Teg-
ner for Irregularities for which he him.
self was responsible. The superintendent
Of the hospitals are the only officials
recognized by the board Of control, and
they are held responsible. However, they
say, when this trouble came up, the
responsibility was all thrown upon the
subordinates, and they were dismissed
by order Of the board of control.

THE BAUER RECITAL

A better opportunity to hear Harold Bauer,
tho new pianist, was afforded the musical
people Of Minneapolis at the First Unitarian
church Tuesday night through the courtesy Of
the pianist himself and the management of
the Ladies' Thursday Musicale. The oppor-
tunity was not neglected for the audience
that gathered to hear him completely filled

THE oRPHEUs CONCERT

A large and attentive but undemonstrative
audience gathered at Plymouth church Tues
day evening TO listen to the program presented
by the Orpheus Singing society, assisted by
Miss Clara Williams, soprano; A. D. Bod
fors, the famous Swedish organst; F. Melius
christensen, violinst, and Miss Mamie
SWanberg, accompaniSt.
The program was an ambitious and Co.'S
mopolitan one, embracing compositions not
only Of Swedish and Norwegian composers,
but those taken from widely differing schools
of music as well. The society, under the
effective leadership of Charles Swenson pre-
scented three numbers, opening with Hermes'
spring song, and Swedish folksong, "TilI
Oesterland,' both of which were sung a
capela, and in good form, showing painstak-
ing training. The parts were evenly balanced
and of fine quality and volume The next
offering, Lagerkrantz' "The Fountain" was
we'll rendered, but the closing number,
Grieg's familiar "Landsighting,'' was open
to criticism. 1t was evident that the So
ciety was not accustomed to singing in an
organ loft and to organ accompaniment, and
in consequence there was noticeable tend
ency to fall from the key. Both numbers in
troduced as soloist Knut o. Ekman, whose
high BARITONE voice has wide range and Is
Of excellent timbre. He won golden opin-
ions by his fine singing
Much interest was manifested in the num-
bers presented by Mr.. Bodfors, who occupies
leading place among scandinavian organ
lists. His first selection was Writings So
nata op. rs, which called for the full power
Of the organ and severely taxed the organ
lists skill. 1t was given with impressive
grandeur. Later in the evening Tschaikow-
sky's "Andante Cantabile" was given with
delicate sweetness that was delightful. It
was followed by Dubois Fiat Lux which
was played with strength and mastery in
strumentation.

sang Aqua's willamette exduisitely, and
that delicate song of Corbett's, Butterflies, y
was fawlessly executed Grieg's "Solvieg's
Lied with it's sad cadenzas, followed Miss
Williams last number was Gounods arrange
ment of the Bach AVE Maria" sung with
the piano, violin and organ accompaniment
Unfortunately the piano and organ were not
in perfect tune, and the result was OF course
not what it might have been.
Mr.. Christiansen presented two numbers,
Wieniawskis Romance and Allegro" and
the Ries' ''Adagio." OF these the Ries' num-
Der received the better Interpretation, al
though there was much that was commend
able in both. The staccato work in the first
number was excellent. Mr.. Christensen
plays broadly, with good tone, but his work
is marred by being occasionally slightly out
of tune.
A little more painstaking work on the par,
of the management in beginning the con
cert on time, and in making the arrange
ments, would have rectifed a number Of
things which served to detract from the
pleasure Of such a concert, and this is espe-
cially true with regard to the consonance OF
the piano and organ. -Boardman

The beast peered at him astonished

kind heart or suspecting trap, trotted
away with some show Of dignity He
would have gone more slowly If certain of
being seen, for the lion Is noted for his
vanity. In this, at any rate, he Is hui

guide, II saw troop Of zebras going
along straight path that led to the mar

with the exception of fine stallion tina:
from ten feet above a lion sprang down.
He missed by few inches, and, as the
path wound around the rock, he calcu-
lated to scale the height with a single
bound and get the zebra on the other
side. But he did not spring hard enough
and the zebra escaped out on the yeldt,
beating the air with his tail. Just then
two Of the lions friends came along, and
they chatted together for some time. The
old lion took them to the rock then and
explained how 1t was good place to catch
