Why Combes Remains in Paris.
(By the Associated Press.)

Paris April 3.-Premier Combes an
swering an Interpolation of NJ. RudeIo,
Liberal Republican, in the Chamber of
Deputies to-day, as to why he did not
intend to accompany President Loubet
on the latter's coming trip to Algeria
said the real reason was the threatening
violent attitude of the congregations.
He added that there was no mistake in
the manner in which the friends of the
congregations and the congregations
themselves had received the action of
the Chamber in voting to expel the latter
from France. They were openly talking
of violent resistance. Under such Cit
cumstances, the leaders of the left party
has requested him not to absent him
self from Paris. The premier said the
reports of a disagreement between the
President and himself or between him
self and the members of the ministry
had no foundation.

DOWN IN THE SLUMS
A New Parkhurst Studying
Social Evil Prior to
a Crusade.
Especial to News and Observer }


Asheville, N c., April 4.-Today the
fact was disclosed in police circles that
a number of Asheville ministers, who
are endeavoring to reform the social evil,
iR conjunction with the anti-saloon
league campaign had adopted the Park
hurst methods o. obtaining data by &C
ing Summing.
The pastor of one of the principal
churches, hoping to procure information
which will enable the ministers asso-
citation to proceed intelligently, requested
the companionship of policeman, and
this being easily arranged made a visit
to every house of Interpolation in the
city. He remained long enough in each
house to talk to inmates, to find how
long they had been there and in some
instances the influences that had led
the INTO adopt such life and to make
personal observations that may be of
value in the crusade against the places.
The police officer introduced the pastor
as a friend, giving a fictitious name and
at no place were the inmates aware un-
til the following day that they were con-
versing with one of the most prominent
ministers of the city. 1t was past the
hour of midnight when the investigation
was completed.
