WE DIDN'T SAY

A somewhat caustic editorial in the
Minneapolis Journal the other day laid
down pretty heavily on those senators
who withheld their support from the
Peterson anti-pass bill. This particu-
lar editorial, like so many others in
the daily press, is very misleading,
because it dilated rather extensively
upon only one phase of the bill and
| ignored the other important feature,
namely, the maximum rate feature.
1t is hardly fair to criticize so severly
when only part of this truth is given
out. Had the bill contained only the
anti-pass feature the editorial in ques-
ton would have been proper enough
from the Journals point of view, but
why not state the whole truth instead
of handling out such a solar plexus
blow from behind the shield of half
truths?-Sauk Centre Herald.
The above appeared in the Inter-
Lake Tribune browns Valley but
we did not write it. 1t appeared in
our Legislative correspondence, for
which we are in no way responsible.
Editor Gordon goes on to say:
"The Tribune has no sympathy
with senators who would wilfully de-
feat anti-pass legislation, but we have
no doubt that there were some who
refused to support the Peterson bill
because it carried with it the reduction
to &c per mile for passenger fare.
These are two separate questions that
should stand on their own merits"
The committee could have stricken
out the &c per mile feature or it could
have been done by amendment on
the floor of the senate.
The plain, blunt truth is the state
senate defeated the anti-pass bill be-
cause the senators wanted the passes.
Any other reason offered the public is
the thinnest kind of subterfuge and
the rankest kind of hypocrisy.

they sit at the head of great
committees? The most obtuse
person understands full well that
the reason the law remains un-
changed upon the statute books is
because it is constantly violated and
the rules and regulations of the
commission are permitted to stand
because they are constantly evaded.
Everyone who has given this
subject the slightest investigation
or understands, even in a limited
way, it's workings, knows that if
the law was enforced either in
letter or spirit, its most ardent
advocates would demand it's i'm
mediate repeal or modification.
How manifest is the humbuggery
and hypocrisy of a statute when
officers sworn to maintain the law
spend ten times more time scheming
to violate it than they do to enforce
the same, and when it is most
strongly advocated by those who
are seeking to evade it's provisions.

There is one good quality about
Rockefeller that the Press has
failed to notice. He doesn't part

1t is not the number of bills a

that counts.

FAKE MEDIUM EXPOSED.
Seance In New York Turned Into a
Battle Royal.

NEW YORK, March 5.-A spiritual
istic fraud was exposed tonight when
Mrs. Herman, a materializing medi-
um, was dragged shrieking from her
cabinet and tossed into the center of a
circle of dupes attending the seance in
her apartments. She was a most sub
stantial spirit, weighing at least 300
pounds, and she fought like a trapped
tigress. Furniture was smashed, men
knocked down and glass broken before
Mrs. Herman and her husband were
finally captured.
When the gas jets were ignited the
woman was found gasping in the CEN
ter of the seance room, clad in a mass
of gauze, coated with phosphorescent
paint. Half of her spiritual garb and
her headpiece were in the possession
of Calvert Berwick, a Virginian, who
made the exposure.
The exposure was the most sensa-
tional and complete ever made in this
city. Berwick'S cousin, Harrison Grind
ley, was with him al the seance, and
struck a light while the fight was 60
ing on in the cabinet. Immediately
half a dozen or more confederates at
tackled Grindley and Berwick and
fought to prevent the medium being
dragged into the seance room. A bat
tie followed and 1t was not until they
had knocked several men down that
they were able to flood the room with
light.

Bishop Fallows Expresses
His Belief in Apparitions
of Persons Who Have Died
HE GIVES INSTANCE
Eminent Churchman Draws
a Line Between the False
Medium and the True One
HE GIVES INSTANCE
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CHICAGO, March 5.-Bishop Fal-
lows is a believer in apparitions and
believes 1t possible that mediums exist
who can materialize spirits at will
This was the tenor of a direct state
ment contained In an interview given
tonight after sermon on True and
False Spiritualism.
In his sermon the eminent church
man condemned in unmeasured terms
the practices Of fraudulent spiritualists
and censured such practices as the
manufacture Of spirit pictures" of
Christ
That the dead exist in spirit and
will communicate with the living has
been proved" said Bishop Fallows.
MY father and mother separately saw
the apparition of a young man who
died in England. My parents were not
superstitious people, either.
"Of the thousands Of mediums in the
country believe 1t possible that there
are some who can cause the spirits Of
the dead to appear at will. 1 should
most assuredly not venture to dispute
those wonderful phenomena. many of
which admit of no other explanation.
/ believe that some of these genuine
is, they are visible only to certain per-
sons, but exist nevertheless"
The sermon preached to-day by
Bishop Fallows at st. Paul's Re-
formed Episcopal Church was in part
as follows:
There are genuine spiritualistic
phenomena without doubt Otherwise
the Bible itself would be untrue But
1t is, think, perfectly safe to say that
no more than one in a thousand cases
connected with the vast number of
seances in this country is worthy of
credence.
"A day or two ago a photograph of
Christ was placed in my hands. for
which it was claimed he sat before the
camera of Chicago medium. The
height of sacrilege and deception has
been reached. If ever money was OBJ
tanned under fraudulent pretense 1t has
been secured In innumerable instances
by these false mediums. The harvest
which has been reaped, both from rich
and poor. by these mendacious traffick-
ers in the deepest and holiest senti-
ments Of mankind has been a golden
one"

SURPRISINGLY RAPID ADVANCE.
Russians Believe Their Foe Utilized
Chinese Railroad.

MUKDEN, Friday, March 3.-The
beginning of the withdrawal of the
Russian right flank on March / pre-
cipitated battle at Chantan, west Of
Sandepas, when the right flank was
ordered to fall back, fighting, to Tao
taitzu, near Nataran. On March the
Russians captured some machine guns
and took a number of prisoners of Gen.
eral Nogi's Port Arthur army. The
Russians lost extensively, although
they destroyed an entire Japanese regi-
ment before Chantan with shrapnel
and burned all the forage in the viii
lagos north of the Hun River.
The Japanese attacked Cnantan from
Sandepas simultaneously with an as
toundingly rapid advance from Lao
yang, the impression being that the
Chinese Sinmintin Railroad was being
employed by them as line of COM
munication.
The combatants confront each other
now for a distance of six and half
miles west, the Japanese, II is believed,
having three divisions and the most
theatrical and bold event of the war is
imminent. The Russians consider the
situation as very favorable to them on
account of the great extension of the
Japanese line.
There Is the greatest activity at
Mukden. All the streets and outlying
roads are crowded with transports of
the army, which have been assembled
TO oppose General Nogi. The events of
the last three days have electrified the
entire army.
The fighting at Putiloff Hill and on
the center closed at dark on Thursday
when 1t was confined chiefly to the
west, where the Japanese are Supying
Sinmintin. Two companies also dashed
UP the Mukden road from Sifangtai
without being arrested, though the Cos
sacks had been in touch with the jap
anese advanced posts for two days.
On March several divisions gave
battle west of Mukden, from which
city the bursting of shrapnel could
plainly be seen. Mukden, which was
thrown into confusion, recovered to-
day when 1t became known that the
Japanese had been repulsed.
The prisoners captured show that the
Imperial Guards Division, formerly of
General Kuroki's army, with a few
other troops, made the two attacks of
the last sixty hours on the Russian
center, which have already been re-
ported, and kept UP a furious demon
stration while the japanese fanks
pushed back the Russian right and left
fianks.
The Russian casualties on March 1
end are reported to have been 100 in
the center, while the Japanese are be-
lieved to have lost more than 1000. In
formation obtained indicates that only
three divisions of the Japanese army
are engaged and it is believed that

Senator Kimbrough of Muncie, who is
anxious that General Baldwin's meri-
torious war record be recognized.
