Vladivostok the Haven to
Which He Hopes to
Take His Fighting Craft

ST. PETERSBURG. April 4, a. M.

vensky to his wife. which has. just
been received here. indicates that the

CANAL BOARD
HAS A DEBT.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 23.-lt is re-
ported here lhat gross misnanagcment
and reckless extravaganza have marked
the conduct Of the Panama canal conf
mission As Il result the commission
crs may be summarily removed and
also punished by line or Imprisonment
in entering into contracts not author
lied by law. The commission is heaVi-
ly in debt. and contractors are clamor-
ing for the payment of their bills for
goods delivered months ago.
The commission will ask congress for
an emergency appropriation of $4,000

CHRISTIANS
ON PARADE.
Revival in New Brunswick Stirs
Up Much Enthusiasm
Crowded Meetings.
specinl to Mc EVENING NEWS i.

NEW BRUNSWICK. Nov. 20 -
Fifteen hundred children paraded
the streets here yesterday afternoon
behind Liberty band, this being one
of the novel features of the evangel
istic work now going on here. The
children assembled after school at
Court House square and were lined
up on the sidewalk preparatory TO
starting the parade which moved at
3.45 O'Clock through the center of
all the business streets of the city.
Nothing like it was ever seen here
before. The parade was nearly four
blocks long and many American
flags were carried throughout the
long line by the children. The
streets were lined with people, the
crowd on the sidewalk being rs
large as any seen here when a circus
parade is given. The sight was an
inspiring one, as the children march
ed up George street while the band
played Onward, Christian Soldiers. }"
The parade ended at the First M.
Il. church where the evangelist, Dr..
church was filed to overlooking, all
of the boys and girls being unable to
get in. DR.. Biederwolf said larger
parades of children had been held in
some of the cities he had visited, but
he never saw SO many people on the
sidewalks watching the parade, even
in the big cities, as he had here.
Last night another parade equally
as large as that of the children and
in when the adults took part was
held at 4 o'clock, ending with big
meeting at the theatre which did not
begin TO hold the crowd. 1t was the
first time many OF the paraders who
We're church workers had ever been
inside the theatre. Just before the
paraders arrived there the curtain
had gone down on the last act of
'''rhe Curse of Gold" and some OF
the audience at the theatre were
among those at the evangelical meet
ing which ended at midnight.

Boys Set Leaves On Fire al
Westminster and Fire Was
Beyond Control.
QUIET ALARM.

The famous Westminster was
threatened by fire about $50 o'clock
Yesterday afternoon from blaze of
leaves on the grounds.
j. p. Holm, the owner and occu-
pant of the Westminster noticed the
burning leaves and feared that the
blaze might gain too much headway.
He telephoned the police headquar-
ters and said that he feared he would
not be able to cope with the flaming
leaves single-handed, should they
gain much headway. He did not
want to ncedlessly call out the fire
department, however, and the police
telephoned Fire Chief Glenn. The
latter ordered out Il number of MEM
bers OF Lincoln Hose and they took
the chemical engine to the scene and
the incipient conflagration was
avertcd.
The leaves were set afire by some
boys of the neighborhood who want
ed TO have bon fire. The large
quantities of leaves from the trees
about the Westminster grounds
furnished a great temptation for the
