TO ABOLISH
FREE LUNCHES
Bill Pending in Legislature
for This Purpose.
Church People Are Using
Their Influence With the
Lawmakers to Have the
Act Passed.

A bill now pending before the legisla-
ture which provides that it shall be il
legal for any saloonkeeper to serve a
free lunch In his place of business meets
with the approval of the members of
many church congregations throughout
the state, and a movement is under way
to press the proposed legislation and
have the act passed at the present
session.
At Philadelphia yesterday the anti
free lunch bill was discussed by the
ministers OF the Methodist Church con-
ference and they gave their sanction to
the measure by passing special reso-
luton which calls upon all members of
the two houses to support the bill.
The resolution sets forth that, in the
opinion of the clergymen, free lunches
are nothing more or less than tempta-
tions which induce young men to visit
saloons, The lunch is characterized as
"a dangerous and prolific source of temp
tation to poor people to drink intoxi-
cants."
Advces from Harrisburg are to the
effect that the bill will probably pass in
both branches of the Legislature. The
church people throughout the state are
working hard to accomplish its passage
and are using their influence with every
legislator to secure promises of support
for the bill

For the second time this season the
Crescents defeated Pottsville basket ball
club last evening by q score of 25 to 20.
A game had been arranged with a
Scranton team, but was cancelled by the
Lackawanna county club for some un-
known reason, and Pottsville was en-
gagged yesterday to play instead. The
intense rivalry existing between the
local team and the boys from Schuyl-
kills county seat, together with the fact
that each had won one of the two games
played, served to draw large audience.
stirring contest was looked for and in
this the crowd was not disappointed.
Fast playing by both teams early in
the game gave indications of excitement
to the full and that it was borne out
was shown by the score.
1t was pretty fast clip the locals set
during the first half, and when time
was called they had succeeded in secur-
ing II points to Pottsvilles 4. During
the second half the visitors spurted,
and in nip and tuck contest which
sent the audience into an enthusiastic
mood both sides played good ball The
visitors succeeded in scoring 16 points,
while the locals had "A to their credit.

Where Arrested.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, September IL
Judge Francis E. Baker of the United
States circuit court this morning sustained
the petition for a writ of habeas corpus
filed by the attorneys for James Lynche-

that United States Marshal Petit cannot
make an arrest here on a warrent issued in
New York.
He said the prisoner had right to be
tried where captured. This decision would
free Lynchehaun, but Charles Fox, the
British legal representative at New York.
made application in court this morning to
have Lynchehaun rearrested on a warrant
sworn out in Indianapolis in order that the
proceedings may go as originally planned.
Judge Baker placed the warrant in the
hands of Marshal Petit, who was instruct
ed to rearrest Lynchehaun and hold him
for hearing before United States Commits
siner Moores. By mutual agreement the
hearing was fixed for next Wednesday

FRENZIED BY RELIGION.
Woman Hurled Her Baby to Death as
Heavenly Sasrifice.

NORFOLK, Va, September ia horri-
BILE case of nfantieide, apparently the re-
suit of religious mania, has occurred in
Broadwater township. N. c. John Graffen-
reid and his wife had been attending a
sanctification meeting and upon returning
home boiling over with frenZied excitement,
the wife proposed to sacrifice their sixteen
months old baby to the Lord.
Then. according to her husbands state
ment. and before the latter could lift his
finger to prevent it. the woman hurled the
child against the wall. crying: Here Lord,
take it
She then threw her arms around her hus-
bands neck and sought to choke him. say
ing something about their dying and going
to heaven together The scuff1e awoke the
other children and on the appearance of
these the wife and mother leaped from a
window and fled to a neighboring farm.
Here she acted in such a wild and irrational
manner that officers were sent for, and the
whole story then came out
Both wife and husband were arrested and
placed in Jail. The woman is manifest1y
demented and the mind of her husband
seems also to be affected.

RENEWED AGITATION.
Paris Hears Bad News From Seat of
Disturbances

PARIS, September 11.-Reports received
by the foreign office here from Constanti-
nople say there is renewed agita ton among
the Mussulmans within the city and fears
are expressed of possible Mussulman at
tack on the Christian population. This agi-
tauon followed the appearance in the
Turkish papers of accounts of the Bull
garians dynamting trains and blow ng up
the steamboat Vaskapu.
The government considered that official
sanction of the publication of the news was
the best means to avoid exaggerated stories
OF the explosions. AS the government had
vigorously suppressed any mention of ex-
ploslons during the past twenty years, the
recent publications caused widespread agi-
tauon. The official report says the Mus
sulmans are eager to avenge the outrages
and states that the feeling is so intense that
IL the BulSarians commit any further de-
struction the Mussulnans are likely TO take
redress by attacking the Christian popula-
ton.

given assurances that all precautions will
be taken, and has reiterated it's confidence

IN SUPPORT OF WILLIAMS.
Representative Tawney Urges Him for
Alaska's Fair Commissioner.

Representative James A. Tawney Of Min
nesota had conference with Secretary
Hitchcock and First Assistant Secretary
Ryan of the Interior Department this
morning in support Of the appointment of
Mr.. Louis l.. Williams of Junea, Alaska,
as one of the commissioners from Alaska
to the Louisiana purchase exposition 1t
will be remembered that Mr.. Williams was
practically appointed by Judge Ryan, the
chairman of the commission, and the ap-
pointment was subsequently withdrawn be-
cause 1t was claimed that the discovery
had been made Of a political deal between
Mr.. Williams and ex-Gov. David r. Fran
els, chairman of the exposition company,
through which Mr.. Williams was to lend
his aid, as a member of the national demo-
cratic committee from Alaska, to the nomi-
nation OF Gov. Francis for President. The
charge was first made that Williams was a
democrat and afterwards the charge rela-
tive to the agreement between him and
Gov. Francis presented.
Representative Tawney is the chairman
of the house committee on the Louisiana
purchase exposition and has just returned
from trip to Alaska, where he spent the
summer. he was one OF the early morning
visitors at the Interior Department today
and was closeted with Judge Ryan for a
long time. He then went in to see Secre-
tary Hitchcock and talked with him re-
gardfng the appointment. Mr. Tawney Is
strongly in favor of the appointment of Mr..
Williams, who, he says, is one of the
strongest men In the territory and repre-
sents the conservative business interests.
The other candidate for the commissioner
ship, Mr.. w. A Foote, is a republican, but
Mr.. Tawney states that he prefers Mr..
Williams. The papers in the case are now
In the hands of the President, and it is to
him that Mr.. Tawney will have to go to
obtain Williams appointment,
1t Is believed at the Interior Department
that the appointment of Williams, which
has been held up, will be confirmed by
President Roosevelt as result of the rep
resentations of Mr.. Tawney, for whose
opinions the President is said to have great
respect.
