.FIFTY-N|NTH CONGRESS
IS NOW IN SESSION
The First Days Session of the Senate
Adjourned Out of Respect to the
Memory of Senator PIatt.

Washington, d. C.-The assembling
on Monday of the members of the
Fifty-ninth congress for their first ses-
sion was marked by no unusual incl
dents, but it attracted to the capital
crowds of spectators, who took live
ly interest in the proceedings.
The house was in session for more
than three hours, and while the pro-
ceedings followed the programme that
has marked the opening of congress
for many years, there was enough OF
interest to hold an exceptionally large
audience during the entire time.
The preliminary steps to organiza-
ton were taken by the house. Joseph
G. Cannon of Illinois was reelected
speaker; other members of the house
took the oath of office; the officers and
floor employees of the body were re-
elected; the rules of the last congress
were adopted, and members went
through the formality of drawing for
seats.
Senators Allison and Morgan were
appointed by Vice President Fairbanks
as a committee to notify the president
that congress was ready for any COM
munication he desired to make. The
senate was in session only twenty min
utes. Senators Aldrich of Rhode Is
land, Knox of Pennsylvania, Warner
of Missouri and Frazier of Tennessee
took the oath of office, and an adjourn
ment was taken as a mark of respect
to the late Senator Platt of Connecti-.
cut.
President Roosevelt's message to
congress received the attention of the
house for two and a half hours Tues
day. Its reading was listened to with
marked attention, and at its conclu-
sion the document was applauded.
Preliminary steps were taken toward
appropriating the needed emergency
funds for the Panama canal. The
house received and ordered referred
to one of the regular election commit
tees a protest from the Fifth Con-
gressional district of Illinois, stating
that Anthony Michalek, who was
sworn in on Monday as a member OF
the house from that district, is not a
citizen of the United States.
Representative Howell of Utah on
Tuesday introduced a bill to annex
that part of Arizona lying north and
west of the Colorado river.
Upon motion of Mr.. Goldfogle of
New York a resolution was read ex-
pressing the sympathy of the Ameri-
can people for the distressed Jews.
The senate was in session for al
most three hours Tuesday and gave
practically all of its time to listening
to the reading of the presidents mes
sage.
Mr.. Brandege took his seat as a SEN
ator from Connecticut.

Inspiration for the Writing of Ben Hur

Salt Lake City-Few people know
that it was the famous agnostic, Rob-
ert G. Ingersoll, who caused the writ
ing of Gen. Lew Wallace's novel. Ben
Hur." 1t came about through chance
meeting of the two famous men in a
railroad journey, when Christianity
became the subject of their talk. Gen.
Wallace had always been man OF
strong religious inclinations, indeed
his splendid description of the appear
ance of the star of Bethlehem to the
wise men of the desert had been writ
ten before this chance acquaintance.
The arguments and claims of the great
infideI were too much for the doughty
general His senses were charmed
with the eloquence and poetical pre-
sentation of the causes of agnosticism,
but he .7as by no means convinced
of its truth. The discussion made him
deeply reflective and led him to make
a careful and exhaustive study of the
life of Christ. The result of this re-
search and Gen. Wallace's answer to
Ingersoll was ''Ben Hur." This work
has been more widely read than any
printed volume save the sacred Book
of Scriptures.
The announcement is made that
ben Hur" is to be staged at the SAT-
Lake theater, Salt Lake City, Utan-
II is to fill the entire week or De
cember .25 to 80 with special matinees
on Christmas day, Wednesday and
Saturday.
