EPWORTH LEAGUE
AT DENVER

DENVER, Col, July 5.-The sew
enth international convention of the
Epworth League is proving to be as
big a religious demonstration as the
most sanguine had expected. Many
of the bishops of the Methodist
church, both north and south, are
here. More than a score of special
trains have arrived with delegates
from every state and territory of the
Union and from nearly all of the Ca
madam provinces. Thousands of visi-
tors are already on the grounds and
trains bearing thousands more are on
the way.
Denver is proving herself equal to
the emergency. Visitors are being
assigned to comfortable quarters as
fast as they arrive. Special excursion
trains carried hundreds of visitors to-
day to Colorado Springs, Glenwood
Springs and other points Of interest
nearby.
The formal opening of the conven-
ton took place this afternoon. An
inspiring song, led by chorus OF
several hundred, started the great
convention to work There were for
NAL greetings, roll call, reports and
other business of routine character
Tonight the Hallelujah chorus will

JOINS ISSUE WITH
CANADIAN JUDGE

VANCOUVER, B. c., July 5.-Un-
der the alien labor law, the Canadian
government recently attempted to de-
port American officials in the employ
of the Pere Marquette railway. The
Americans fought the government,
and result Judge Anglin rem
| dered a decision to the effect that
the law was ultra wires, and saying
that the matter of the deportation Of
undesirable immigrants was beyond
the power of the Dominion because
it had not acquired extra-territorial
jurisdiction from the imperial gov
eminent. In the meantime, Sir
Charles HILBERT Upper. Of this city,
has given a remarkable interview, in
| which he joins issue with Judge
Anglin.
This decision, If upheld, denies
that Canada is a nation" he said,
land reduces our status to that of a
mere municipality. 1t is, of course,
beyond doubt that Canada derives all
of its legislative powers from the
| imperial parliament. BY subsection
rs. of section 81, of the British North
| American act. we are given exclusive
authority in regard to aliens This
| were an idle power if we could not
exclude them, and II we can exclude
them, surely we may effectively do
So
According to Justice Anglin, it
would appear that while we may en-
act laws for this purpose, we can not
| effectively deal with aliens or immi-
! grants who defy our laws, beyond
, imposing pains and penalties to be
| suffered within our borders. The
I learned judge, l think, overlooks our
| power to put the 'unwelcome visitor
on board a ship in our own waters

DISCUSS THEIR ART

ASBUR YPARK, N. j., July s.
There was another interesting and
busy day for the thousands of teach
ers who are attending the annual con-
vention of the National Educational
association. The attendance was in
creased over that of yesterday by the
arrival of number of belated dele
cations. The greater part Of today
was devoted to sectional conferences
of which there were more than a
dozen for the discussion of questions
relating to instruction in music,
drawing, manual training and other
branches of educa ton. The teachers
reassemble for general meeting to-
night at which Child Labor and
Compulsory Education" will be the
topic of discussion. The visit of
President Roosevelt tomorrow is be-
ing looked forward to with keen in

The transcontinental tour of lnnes
and his band has been marvelously
successful, from the early part Of
April, when the first concerts were
given in Chicago; through Omaha,
where the band played in connection
with a festival chorus of 600 adults
and 5000 children; through Lincoln,
where the festival chorus numbered
500 and the children's chorus 1000;
through Kansas, where. at Lindsborg,
there was an adult chorus of 500,
as we'll as in the towns where there
was no chorus at all. With chorus
and without chorus the performances
have called forth great audiences and
excited the warmest approval of
critics.
The fact is, lines understands mu-
sic. He knows musical history and
literature. If he gives but one per-
Torrance he will give what on the
whole the person of musical knowl-
edge will say is best worth hearing In
the world of music-and If he gives
two concerts the listener will say,
II am glad I did not miss either.
He is a great program maker HIS
purpose seems to be to give in each
place. be he there for only one after
noon or evening, or for week, all
that is best worth hearing.

of Pennsylvania crews, stood out
boldly as the last of unreconstructed
rebels against the traditions of eight
cared shell rowing.
With plucky persistence he chung
to his methods through defeat after
defeat, until he scored a sensational
victory over Cornell at Saratoga in
1898, and followed it by two sue
cessive winnings at Poughkeepsie.
with all due credit to Ward, these
successes were largely owing to the
work of one of the most remarkable
stroke oars ever produced in this
country, John Gardiner. He could not
power. but could row the Ward stroke
as no her man has ever been able
to master it.
1T is system perfect in theory,
immensely difficult in practice. OF
course, the most effective point of
leverage is when the oar is at right
angles with the boat, or half way
through the stroke. This is the most
direct point of application of power,
by a fundamental law of mechanics.
Therefore, Ward taught his pupils
that they must try to put their power
on in the middle of the stroke. This
is practically impossible.
"rhe speed of the boat is so great
that the human equation upsets the
theory, When the oarsman nerves
himself to catch the water with all
his strength at the very instant he
dips his blade into it, his power is
really applied nearer the middle than
the beginning of the stroke, because
the boat gets away from him.
therefore, when he tries to make
his supreme effort iii the middle of
the stroke, he really gets it into
plav at the finish, missing his aim by
Just so much.
1.-THE result is that he must make
a tremendously hard finish to get any
steam into his work, and for this rea-
son Pennsylvania crews reversed the
principles at the bottom Of the styles
of other colleges, beginning easy and
finishing with a yank of the arms
to the limit of their strength.
This is the style used by every
one who pulls a skiff, or yawl, oil
ing into the water with easy lack
of effort and pulling hard at sthe
| finish

JITOMIR, June looming horrors

of the massacres.
The Christian population talked
aloud of a girl who was killed by the
Jews for their Easter, of Jews who
sold documents relative to the war
for the benefit of Japan and her red
headed allies" (England and Ameri-
ca). The Jews were openly accused
of the internal unrest as well as of
the Russo-Japanese war. The war is
highly unpopular in Valhynia prov
ince and the reactionary party used
this fact in order to increase the
feeling Of hatred toward the Jews,
who were declared to be the authors
OF the disasters in Manchuria.

about 200 Jews rushed toward the
hooligans. They were met with a
shower of stones. and fired in return,
Suddenly a volley was discharged by
the troops at the Jews. An indie
scribable panic ensued, and the Jews
dispersed Immediately.
After a while II was stated that
the troops had fred in the air. 1t
was quiet afterwards, people became
more reasonable, and groups of Jews
gathered to discuss the situation,
while the chief of police induced the
roughs to return home. Things could
have been easily arranged at that
hour, so the Jews decided TO confer
with the chief of police and ask for
energetic measures in order to pre-
vent any excuses.
After some argument the chief of
police said: go home and tell the
Jews in the mob to separate. Then
I shall restore order. I shall take
the arrested hooliguns to the police
station"
Called Them Naughty.
When the arrested peasants pass

from the police and hit the Jews,
but the latter did not retaliated. At
the police station the chief of police
set free the peasants, telling them
they should behave themselves. as
