OF HEAVY FIGHTING SHIPS
Senate Committee Completes It's
Programme.

Washington: Admiral Dewey's sug-
gestions in favor of heavy fighting
ships for the navy prevailed Thursday

ships, as compared with $4,000 tons
last year.
The heavy construction provided
will cost $21, 75O. 900, while the lighter
construction win bring the cost of the
building programme up to $2S,000,O00.
Provision was made for an armor-
Olate factory to cost $4,000, 900, which

TRY TO PROVE ALlBl
IN BUTLER's DEFENSE
Judge Graves overrules Demurrer
and Sends Case to Jury.


Fulton, Mo-: Following a strong
summary Of the States case by Judge
Graves, in which he declared that
upon such a showing 1t would be a
''travesty upon Justice" to take the
case away from the jury, Edward But
Ter took the stand in his own behalf
and disclosed that it is the purpose
of the defense to deny in detail all
the essential statements sworn to by
the confessed members Of the former
Doodle combine.
The unfolding of this program was
distinctly apparent when four of But
ler's witnesses had completed their
evening.
They were: Butler himself, Ed
Butler, Jr., William Devine and p. ].
Laughlin, both foremen in the en-
ploy of Ed Butler and Sons, horse
shoers.
In the history of all the Doodle
trials never has one day been so full
of incidents as Wednesday.
Until $3.50 in the afternoon Buffers
accusers reoited their damaging tes-
timony.
Having been over it before, they
were clear on every point, never fall
tering, never hesitating, answering
cross-examination without sign of en-
barrassment, each contributing toward
convincing total--a closely woven
circumstantial case against the de-
| PENDANT.
The two Murrells, Helms, Tamblyn,
Robertson and Schumacher told a
story which astonished the residents
Of this quiet county. Many of them re-
marked that they had read Of the st.
Louis Doodle deals, but they had never
| dreamed of the enOTmity of the con-
spiracy formed by that combine nor
of its wholesale piracy, of the astound-
| ing venality of which the corrupt leg
islators were guilty.
Each told how often he was bribed,
which was so often he could not
keep count. Each told the highest
amount he had received and the low
est. Each declared that ne had regard
ed the matter as merely business
and not breach Of public confidence
and trust.
The effect on the jury may we'll be
imagined. All wore expressions of ex'
IRENE establishment.
Some sat open-mouthed during the
recitals; others frowned; others were
inclined at times to smile at such de-
velopments as Otto Schumacher
look of innocent amazement and neg
alive answer when he was asked II
he had ever refused bride.
The climax came when Judge
Graves overruled the demurrer to the
evidence. AS the Judge pronounced his
brief estimate of the evidence the 81
ence was profound, and when he had
concluded it was only the vigorous
demands for silence from the Sheriff
that prevented an cutlery of indorse
ment from the auditors.
In stating his reasons for overruling
the demurrer to the evidence, Judge
Graves outlined, in the absence of the
jury, of course, as convincing an ar
gument for the conviction as could be
framed. 1t was clear as a bell and as
direct as language permits.

that there is no truth in the report
that freight traffic has been stopped
on the Manchurian railway.
All the ships of the Russian Pacific

Both the army and navy are In eX-

ready for an emergency; but all are
patiently awaiting the outcome of the
negotiations.
The Russian population is tranquil.
Very few Russians are leaving, but
many Japanese merchants are selling

KAW RIVER APPROPRIATION
Interesting Question Has Arisen In
Connection With Appropriation.
is UnnavigabIe the United States
Has No Jurisdiction.

Washington, March 26.-An interest
ing question has arisen in connection
with bill introduced by Senator Long,
Of Kansas, appropriating $1,000, 900 for
Strengthening the Kaw river, with .
view to averting the usual spring floods
which have been so disastrous to the
people and property Of that state. The
bill was referred to the war depart
ment for report, and 1t has been re-
turned with report made by Gen.
Mackenzie, chief of engineers, to the
effect that several years ago the legis-
lature of the state declared the Kaw
river unnayigable and authorized the
construction of bridges across 1t at
various points, effectually closing 1t
to navigation.
The point is made that If the stream
is unnavigable 1t is not under the
jurisdiction of the United States, and
consequently any appropriation made
for its improvement would be simply
for the benefit of the state and ita
citizens, and not for the benefit of the
general government or the people at
large. 1t is stated that proposed leg.
islation will be opposed on that
ground

believed.
The property loss from the wind,
which was of a tornado character in

by heightened floods, which had but
partially receded from previous heavy
rainfalls.

Business in the town is suspended

number of trees and trolley poles, and
all traffic was suspended until the

He loved. Yet there was needful to
the completeness of His mission that
lie Himself die as common humanity
dies and return Himself from the dead,
in order to afford unbreakable evidence
of His power over death and the grave.
II was this first Easter day evidence
that caused Paul in his eloquent essay
upon Immortality to write defiantly,
20 death! where is thy sting? o grave!
where is thy victory" and then to add
gratefully and reverently, Thanks bs
unto God, which giveth us the victory,
through our Lord, Jesus Christ"
1t is meet and right, then, that East.
er day shall be hailed with joy by all
Christian peoples that the people shall
put on their gayest apparel; that fow-
ers shall bedeck the chancels of the
churches, and that the grand organs
shall peal forth triumphant song
Christ has risen," and there is His
promise that all they which are asleep
in Him shall arise from the dead to
meet Him in glory that shall endure
+, forever and forever.
The mystery of death is unsolvable;
\ that greater mystery of resurrection
from the dead is still farther from
mans knowledge. But unfathomable
things sometimes are the sweetest and
most comfortable blessings men enjoy
in this life. Faith demands no proof
/ further than Is contained In His words,
I'm my Fathers house are many man"
sons; go to prepare place for you"
THAT where am there you may be
also"
Such faith this Is that filled the spirit
of Job when he said, II know that my
Redeemer liveth, and that He shall
stand at the latter day upon the earth"
Or, as Paul when he wrote: For we
know that If this earthly house of our
tabernacle were dissolved, we have a
building of God, house not made with
hands, eternal in the heavens"
First among the great festivalholy
days of the church, it is also one of
the oldest. 1t is preeminent, because
it is the keystone of the arch of Chris,
tianity. Without it-Resdrrection day
the gospels are lie, the writing Of
Paul lie, and the life and death o!
Christ mockery. st. Paul boldly de-
cleares that preaching is vain and
teaching is vain except it be based up
on Christ's death and resurrection from
the dead.

Tx Christian song, 1.-THE word Of
IL w faith and promise inscribed on
the .heart-tablet Of every follower OF
Jesus. 1t is confident answer to that
question older than the pyramids, III
man die, shall he live again?"
When the most eloquent divine Of
France stood before the bier of Louis
XIV. to pronounce an eulogy upon that
great ruler, he remained silent for
some time, overcome by his emotions.
Finally, recovering himself in part, he
said In voice half-choked with sobs:
"There is nothing great but death"
This was the utterance of man con-
quered OF grief, at the death of loved
master 1t was but the repetition OF
wall that has been heard throughout
all the ages in every nation. The d.
vine in King Louis panegyrist was
swallowed up Of the thought that his
royal master, greatest among men, had
been defeated by the arch-king of ter
rors, Death
Yet the preacher was wrong and al
together wrong. There is that far
greater than death, and II is immortal
ity, Death is great in that 1t overcomes
all living things-pants. birds, beasts
and man. Yet Death ends with life on
earth, for John the Divine, in his mag
nifcent description Of the new heaven
has declared. "And there shall be nc
more DEATH"
Death does not end life; 1t does but
transform 1t into life that is unending
1t Is but mode of changing mortality
into immortality. 1t is as the sundered
cocoon which releases the creature; once
a dull chrysalis, now gloriously tinted
butterfly that may roam among the in.
censed flowers of many gorgeous hues

I ennessee State News
Fired Upon From Ambush.

A train load of miners returning
from the mines of the Dayton Coal
and Iron Company was fired upon last
week and four or five men wounded
The attacking party was concealed
among the rocks and brush, and was
so well hid that 1t was impossible to
determine how many were in the
crowd. The assailants used shotguns
charged with buckshot, and Winches-
ters. The volley was returned by Dep
uty Sheriff Rogers and Yardmaster
Balton, who were on the train, and
1t Is believed that one of the assail-
ants was wounded. The attack grows
out of the ill-feeling on the part Of
the union men toward the non-union
miners because the latter have not
joined the former in a strike which
has been in progress for several
months. Several non-union men have
recently received anonymous letters
threatening violence II they continued
to work, and the union men in body
have several times recently met the
train and hooted and jeered at the
workingmen.
