Much Business Transacted


The Anti-Saloon League held Its January
meeting in the parlors OF the w C. T. U.
building. 800 9Th street northwest, Wednes-
day evening. The league meeting proper
was preceded by an executive session. in
which the business to come before the
league was formulated. Mr. James L. Ewtu.
president, conducted the proceedings of
both sessions, and Mr.. A. N. Garfield. re-
cording secretary. recorded the minutes.
The opening exercises included the sing
ing Of a gospel temperance selection. fol-
lowed with prayer by the Rev. Walter H.

A new order Of business, previously re-
ported by Mr.. Garfield, and approved by
the executive committee. was read and
adopted.
The chair made report embracing the
more salient points in the proceedings Of
In Columbus. Ohio. He also read a letter
recently received from an officer of the
Ohio State League, which wishes to circu-
late its literature In the churches Of the
District of Columbia, asking the good Of
fees OF President Ewin in bringing the
matter to the attention of the local pas
tors. The request gave rise to an inter-
esting discussion. 1t developed that the
official organ Of the antf-saloon league In
Ohio carried the statement that the league
movement originated in that state, where
as, 1t Is claimed, 1t was initiated by the
Good Templars in the District of Columbia,
the cooperation Of some of the local
churches was secured. and 1t was in sue
cessfui operation several months before 1t
was adopted in Ohio. 1t further appeared
that the organ Of the Ohio league claimed
also to be the organ Of the American Anti
Saloon League, which. 1t Is said. has made
no such selection.

committee on cooperation. made report

Miss Alice Brightwell, a protege in the
family of John T. Bate, a bank teller, was
assaulted yesterday by a negro ia Mr..
Bates residence at Crescent Hill, a resi-
Gence portion of Louisville, Ky. The young
woman was badly injured. A detail of po-
lice was at once sent to the scene. and
officers with bloodhounds took up the trail
of the negro. The Crescent Hill district is
in state of high excitement. and Captain
Reilly of the Louisville police, has given
orders If the negro is found that he be
brought to the county jail here instead of
being taken to the police station. The
search for Miss Brightwells assaiIant was
kept up until midnight, but, although the

as representatives Of their respective Or
ganzations.
Mr.. A. E. Shoemaker. chairman of COM
mittee on law enforcement made an ex-
tended report Of the status of cases be-
fore the excise board, and of the efforts
made in support of the bill before Con-
gress providing for closing the saloons on
holidays. He remarked that there were
laws providing for such closing of drinking
places in the states of Wisconsin and In
diana.
The roll-call of organization showed that
twenty-five affiliated bodies were repre-
scented.
A special feature was an address to the
officers-elect upon their Introduction into
their respective positions. This was given
by Rev. John Lee Brooks, and was received
with great favor. 1t opened with acknowl-
edgment Of the courtesy extended in the
invitation he had received to address the
league. The speaker reviewed some anti
saloon work done in the Brightwood dis
trfct and commended Mr.. Shoemaker. at
torney, and Mr.. James Fraser. doorkeeper
of the league. for the success of their
efforts in that quarter. He related inter-
esting and instructive incidents in his ex-
perience philanthropist and pastor in
Texas. New York and other sections, and
emphasized throughout his discourse, the
value of cooperation in all reform work.
He remarked upon the progress of science
which had made a whispering gallery of
the world, teaching everywhere the lesson
of universal brotherhood of man, and
closed with an earnest appeal for self-de-
yotion to the cause of moral reform as
the league represents it, and declaration
of purpose to be a doer of deeds rather
than preacher of creeds.
First Vice President Kellar, in behalf of
the league. presented in a few well-chosen
words, a beautiful vase to President Ewin
in token of the esteem in which he is held
by his league associates. The gift was
gratefully and graciously acknowledged.

HARMONY PREVAILS
Powerful Railroad Interests Recently
Antasonistic Have Got Together and
Pacific Plans May EIe Changed.

New York, April 25.--Harmonizing Of
the powerful and recently antagonis
tic interests in the financial world has
been accomplished, says the Times, to-
day, which probably will check the
ambitions of certain Pacific railway
interests. 1t is learned from excellent
sources an understanding has sheen
reached by the so-called Rockefeller,
Morgan and Hill interests, by which
the holdings Of Union Pacific stock Of
these men and their friends will be
voted as a unit for the purposes of
deciding all questiors affecting not
only this property, but it's relations to
other railroads as well, and that as
consequence of such an understanding
it is probable the proposed hundred
million dollars issue OF preferred stock
Of Union Pacific may not be authorized
at the meeting to be held May 5 at
Salt Lake City. All the men directly
concerned in the matter decline to talk
about it for publication.

WAR ON WILD ANIMALS.
To Be Made When Nebraska Bounty
Law Goes Into Effect.

Law Goes Into Effect.
Lincoln, Neb., April 25.-After July
1, q Wholesale slaughter of coyotes,
wildcats and wolves is likely to be car
ried on in Nebraska as a result OF the
new wild animal bounty law which
was passed by the last session of the
legislature. An appropriation Of s1o.-
900 was made by the legislature to pay
the state bounties on wolves, wildcats
and coyotes. Western stockmen claim
that wild animals have greatly In
creased on the prairies since the repeal
OF the old law in 1903, and that the
appropriation will probably be ex-
hausted on gray wolves alone. Phey
estimate that at least 100000 worth of
bounty claims will be made in the next
two years.
The bill was introduced by Repre-
sentative Douglas, of Rock county, at
the request of the sheep and cattle
men Of western Nebraska, No emer-
gency clause was attached, and so the
bill will not go into effect until July
/. The measure provides that any
person in the state who kills any
wolves, wild cats or coyotes, and who
presents the scalps, with the two ears
and the face down to the nose, to the
county clerk of the county In which
the animals were killed, making oath
thereto, shall receive bounties as fol-
lows: SIS for every large gray wolf or
buffalo wolf killed, $1.25 for every
common prairie wolf or coyote, 81 for
every wild cat.

What a Pie Contained.

Three lemon pies bought from the
shelves Of downtown restaurants wers
analyzed in the office of the state food
inspector. and this is the composition
of the filing of one. Of them, as an
nounced by the chemist:
Starch, in thick, firm paste, flavor
ed slightly and very little acid; 81 per
cent sugar, Analine coloring (methly
orange group. The color is made
synthetically from aniline, and aniline
from coal. Method od-di-methvl-anilin
on diazo- -benzine sulphonic acid.
Methyl orange is poisonous in large
doses. Found to contain very little
flavoring and acid from lemon. Filling
Of starch paste, sugar and colored
deep yellow.
In plain English, it was explained
by the chemist that aniline is used
instead of eggs. The butter was ne
elected altogether and the lemon juice
was sighted.
Another lemon pie was beginning to
decompose when it was delivered to
the laboratory. There was dough at
the bottom. The third lemon pie ex-
amined was said to be tolerably good.
The much abused mince pie escaped
with good reputation, but one of ths

at the park, a beer bottle was dropped
on the head of the plaintiff and she
was injured. She brought a damage
suit and failed to secure damages. The
action of the lower court was sustained
by the supreme court at the last term
on the second hearing of the case. The
contention for rehearing Is based
on fine technical points as to the pur-
pose to which the band stand was used
and the extent Of the liability Of the
association for acts by members Of the
band. The PLAINTIFFS attorneys claim
that because the association permitted
beer to be sold on the grounds it was
liable for an injury resulting from onn
of them falling on the head Of the
plaintiff.

SAD SEQUEL TO HIS ROMANCE.
Chris Jensen's Wife is Seeking ;
Divorce.

Sioux City, April 25.-The matrimo-
nial romance of Chris Jensen has had
a rather sad sequel.
Jensen will be remembered as the
eccentric furniture dealer from Wa
konda, S. D., who came to Sioux City
over a year ago and announced
frankly and unequivocally that he
had come here to secure a wife. He
bride he wished to claim and his
plenty Of applicants, but they did not
suit him.
Disappointed, but not dismayed, he
returned to Wakonda, only to return
later and marry Mrs. Vashti M. Coy,
the divorced wife of Ben Coy,
Morning Side contractor. Their honey
moon was not of the most happy
character, as later developments show
ed. Jensen is 60 years Of age or more
and his bride was in the 40s.
After discovering an incompatibility
of temperament that it seemed inn
possible to overcome Mrs. Coy pulled
up stakes and left her romantic hus-
band. She went to Sioux Falls, S. D.,
not many months ago and now the
news comes from there that she has
begun an action for a divorce from
Jensen. 1t is said that the defendant
is residing somewhere in Minnesota.
Was Very Jealous.
The law firm of Davis, Lyon &
Gates, attorneys for Mrs. Jensen,
have sent to George o. Swasey for
some dispositions Of witnesses liz
,Lo
are familiar with their matrimonial
career. 1t is said that the principal
barrier to the domestic happiness Of
the Jensens was the extremely jeai-
Gus disposition of the husband, which
would manifest itself when the wife
would least expect it and often to her
extreme discontinue.
Jensen sold, out his furniture busi-
ness at Wakonda before he was mar
ried to Mrs. Coy. 1t was said he was
made the victim of 80 many jokes by
the "wags" of the little town after the
publicity which had been given his
first unsuccessful expedition to Sioux
City for wife that he could no longer
live in peace in Wakonda. One of the
young men of the town one evening
went so far as to attire himself in fe-
male clothing and call upon the anx-
ious candidate for matrimony and rep
resent himself as widow of means
and domestic experience. The old man
was so annoyed with this and SIM
liar pranks that he disposed of his
business, put his wealth in his pockets
and came to Sioux City, where a few
months later he met and married the
Marning Side woman.

CONFIDENCE IS RESTORED
Long Line of Depositors in Front of
Both institutions, but Clearing
House Statement and Aid of Other
Banks Result in Restoring Normal
Conditions.

Milwaukee, April %. - Despite the
assurances that the Milwaukee Trust
Company was in no manner involved
by the financial troubles of Frank G.
Bigelow, former president of the First
National bank, crowds of people to-
day assembled long before the opening
of the Trust company bank to with
draw their deposits. The depositors
gathered at the National bank were
comparatively few ut first, but the num-
ber continued to increase. Bigelow
had been director of the Trust COM
pany, but when his defalcation became
known he was removed as such by
the board of directors. Notices post
ed on the windows of the First Nat
ional and Trust Companys banks an
nounced both institutions were abund-
antly prepared to meet all demands OF
depositors and creditors. There was
no evidence of any trouble at other
banks. John I. Beggs, director of the
First National, said the bank had to-
day received two million dollars from
outside and local banks with which
to meet any demands. Beggs said the
run would probably continue thruout
today, but that beginning with tomor-
row, after having shown stability OF
the institution, the excitement would
subside. AS the hour approached for
opening the bank the crowds in front
of each bank became larger and ex-
tended for half square. A detail OF
police were present to maintain order.
Both institutions decided to take
advantage of the printed clause in the
pass books of all saving deposits re-
quiring notice of thirty days before
sums under hundred dollars can be
withdrawn. ~
When the doors Of the First National
Bank and Milwaukee Trust Company
were thrown open the crowd which had
distance of half block from the main
as rapidly as the police would permit.
Women and men We're jostled in their
efforts to get into the banks and the
police We're constantly compelled to
push them back. Those who sought
to withdraw funds We're mostly small
depositors who applied at the savings
department. There were some deposit
tors, while number were waiting to
withdraw their funds. Up to noon
there had been no run on any other
banks. The board of directors of the
Chamber of Commerce today voted
unanimously not to withdraw the cur
rent fund from the First National
Bank. The opinion is generally ex-
pressed that the bank is perfectly SOL

Milwaukee, April 25-The run on the
two banks ceased entirely in the after
noon and business in this institutions
was resumed under normal conditions.

Milwaukee, April 25. - The Clearing

statement saying after examining care
fully all assets and collateral of the
