ing from a source that is usually
reliable, says Daniel j. Kelley Is
drawing salary Of 1000 a month
in Canada. The letter says Kelley
has salary OF $4,000 a year and
the inference is that he is satisfe l
with it. The work of staying in Can
ada would not be hard for some, but
tits irksome for Kelley.
The salary is the same as that Of
,sred to John A. Lee at Kansas City,
but Lee was to get it only as long as
the statute Of limitation should run

facts establish the price OF exile. 1t
takes 81 900 month to keep a man
awav from his country and he does
not always accept that. The way

aests a possibility that Kelley may

Baptist ministers institute, in which
the ministers from thatentire part OF

We, the members of the southeast

900 members, now in session at

resolutions:
Whereas, We believe that all kinds
OF dancing is degrading and demon
alizing; after what We have read OF
the waltz and what We have been
told by men who have waltzcd and
what we have seen OF it, we have
come to the unanimous conclusion
that it is dangerous to virtue, tn
both men and women who engage in
it, and we recommend that minis
ters. fathers and mothers buy and
read those books which explain tha
evils of the modern waltz, and that
all ministers preach against this
great evil that is cursing our homes
and blighting the lives Of multitudcs
OF our young people,

Special Dispatch to The Call.

CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET N.
w, WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-Because
the Department of Commerce and La
Dor, with its inquisitorial Bureau of
Corporations, has been the storm center
of the Standard Oil opposition to Presi-
dent Roosevelt, peculiar interest awaits
the publication of the first annual re-
port of Secretary Cortelyou, which was
given to the press tonight. Secretary
Cortelyou does not even attempt to
thinly veil the purpose of his depart
ment to carry out the law with refer
ence to great corporations, whether
they be good or bad, but to do nothing
rash He calls attention to the fact
that the creation of the Bureau of Cor
porations was. viewed by some with
suspicion and that it was feared the
powers granted to it might be used
hastily to the injury of legitimate en-
terprise. No such purpose, he says,
will control the administration of the
law. Secretary Cortelyou uses this Ian
guage in announcing his purpose OF
carrying out the intent of the law:
Many corporations have been grant
ed important privileges by the public
and some of these corporations,
through consolidation of capital, have
acquired extensive influence in the in
dustrial affairs of the country. These
privileges, If improperly used, not only
retard the progress of industry. but
frequently breed corruption in politics.
The legislation creating the Bureau
of Corporations was an expression OF
the popular belief that further safe
guards should be provided for the regu-
lation of business enterprises to which
special privileges have been granted
by the people Publicity will disclose
unfair dealings. dishonesty and corrup-
ton, but, if properly enforced, will not
disclose to trade competitors the fruits
of individual thrift and initiative, nor
permit in any other manner the inva-
sion of private rights
In rehearsing the operations of the
Department Of Commerce ssirce il came
into existence on July ], Secretary Cor
telyou puts at rest the rumOrs that the
Bureau of Corporations had already
come into collision with the Standard
Oil Company and that the Rockefeller
corporation had refused to give infor-
nation demanded by the department.

SEARCHERS FAIL TO FIND
BODIES OF DROWNED MEN
No Trace Is Found of the Victims of
the Disaster Near Middle
,reek Station.

REDDING, Dec. 9.-The bodies of
two horses driven by five men, four of
whom were drowned by mistaking
road and driving into the Sacramento
River near Middle Creek Station last
night, were recovered from the stream
this morning. A two-seated buggy
was also pulled out of the water but
none of the bodies of the men were
recovered, although the stream was
dragged for them.
Charles Diestlchorst of this city is
positive that one of the drowned men
was his nephew, William Knudson, Of
Redding. He knows that young Knud-
son got into the rig here to go to Kes-
wick. He says his nephew had been
going under an assumed name at Kes-
wick and believes the name to be Will
liam Weiner, the name that was given
out i'm the list of victims. 1t was at
first thought that possibly Knudson
made the sixth member of the Inflated
party and that five were drowned, but
H. Fitzpatrick, the sole survivor, says
there were only four besides himself
in the rig. If Knudson was in the
party he was probably the one known
as Weiner.

with the Panaman troops is likely
to occur. In all naval operations, it
may be said on authority, the depart
ment is still guided by the treaty of
1916. under which the United States
guaranteed to keep transit across the
isthmus open.
1t is probable that the training ship
Prairie, with a battalion of marines
aboard. will be ordered to Colon. The
vessel is now at Guantanamo
Lieutenant General Young. chief Of
staff, to-day authorized the statement
to be made that the War Department
was ready to dispatch troops to the
isthmus on short notice should their
presence be demanded.
Although the statement heretofore
has been denied, it is learned that the
department has taken notice of the re-
peated reports that Colombian troops
were assembling at different points
with the avowed purpose of making a
hostile demonstration against Pan
anna, and has perfected all military
plans to repeal such an invasion
General Young said that, should he
be called upon to assist the navy. it
would not be necessary to send to the
isthmus more than regiment or two.
Although none of the members of the
joint army and navy board. which met
to-day, would admit that the isthmian
situation was under discussion. it is
known that such was the case and that
both the army and the navy are now
in a state of preparedness for any con-
fiict with Colombia that may arise
DR.. Herran, the Colombian Charge
d Affaires, to-day authorized the state
ment that if troops from Cartagena
had landed near the mouth of the
Atrata River. as reported by the
French steamer which has arrived at
La Guayra, it was directly in opposi-
tion to the advice of both himself and
General Reyes.
General Reyes has been fully in
formed by the President himself as TO
the intentions of the Government of
the United States respecting the 18th
mus. He was told by the President
that, as was set forth in the Presi-
dents message to Congress, the United
States had determined to maintain the
independence of the new republic of
Panama against ali comerS. While
this guarantee is contained in a treaty
now pending before the United States
Senate and as yet unratified, the ad-
ministration has for some time past
been acting upon the theory that the
understanding is in full force There
fore all necessary preparations have
been made to exert whatever physical
force may be necessary to protect
isthmian transit. And, instead of con-
fining military and naval operations
