The May Revival Meeting.

The various committees in
charge of the projec ed union re-
vival meeting met Monday night
at the First Methodist church.
An interesting and helpful pray
er service was first held, after
which encouraging reports we're
rendered, showing the prelimi-
nary work necessary to the sue
cess of the enterprise to be well
ia hand.
Perhaps the most gratifying
progress has been made by those
ia charge of the music, whoee
labors we're largely reported in
these columns Sunday morning.
Ia addition to that information,
it was learned that the director,
Prof. John NJ. Ray, would reach
Columbus in advance of the
meeting for the purpose of or
ganiziug and drilling the choir.
So great is the interest being
arou led aud so fattering are the
prospects for large audiences
that an effort will be made to
secure a colossal tent seating two
thousand people, instead of one
half that mum Der, as at first pro
posed. Electric lights and com
Portable seats are being arrang-
ed for.
Union prayer meetings will be
the order from now until after
the meeting. Tonight the ser
vices will be held in the main
auditorium of the Presbyterian
church and will be conducted by
the eloquent pastor of the Bap
list congregation. Rev. w. A.
Hewitt, assisted by Rev. L. NJ.
Broyles. Tomorrow night the
meeting will be held at the Bap
tist church, led by Rev. Mr..
Broyles aud Rev. J. b. Oatley.
Every effort will be made 10
have these services interesting
and large congregations are ex-
pected.

That reminds me of little cir
cunlstance that occurred during
the war. Tom Halbert and Sic
Robertson, two Texans belonging
to Ross Brigade, were captured,
while foraging, by small scout
ing ,arty of Yankees about five
miles from Marietta. Ga, one
/ evening about an hour by sun.
! They were cavalrymen, of course,
land mounted on the very best of
| Texas horses. AS they we're be;
ling marched along the country
road. Robertson gave Halbert
knowing wink from the left eye
land that meant business. At this
time they were passing a per
Esimmon thicket, and Robertson
Ienquired of his captors what
kind of fruit it was and if good
to eat. On being told it was per-
simmon and quiet palateable,
Robertson asked if he and his
Icomrade could get few. The
Erequest was granted, and while
they were gathering the persim
mons, they got their horses head
ed in contrary way to that of
their captors and Robertson
gave a yell and then race for
life was on. The dash was so
sudden and unexpected that the
Texans were at least $50 yards
on the back track before the
Yankees could turn their horses
and bring their guns into play.
The race lasted a half-hour when
darkness aided the fleeing Rebs,
but the bullets flew thick and
fast around them for a run of
five miles, but as fortune favored
them, they came out with only a
few shot holes in their clothing
| The ride was continued until
eight o'clock the next morning,
when the Texans drew rein at
our gate on Captain Ed Moore's
place at Trinity, in this county.
This gives an idea of what Ross
men and horses could do. They
crossed the state of Alabama in
one night, swimming rivers as they
came in the way. Robertson re-
marked to Halbert as they sat at
breakfast that they had enough
rivers between them and the
Yankees to feel safe and he pro
posed to rest up a few days. So
that is the way | feel about the

CHICAGO, April 22.-The employers
association of Chicago refused this af-
ternoon to accept the proposition of
the teamsters that all questions in
volved in the Montgomery Ward & Co.
strike be submitted to arbitration with
Judge Tuley acting as arbitrator.
The proposition of the teamsters was
conveyed to the employers through
Mayor Dunne and late this afternoon
the employers replied to the mayor
that they were, as they have been from
the first, willing to arbitrate anything
connected with the strike of the team
sters alone, but that they will under no
circumstances consent to arbitrate the
strike of the garment workers, which
was over four months before the team
sters went out on a sympathetic strike.
What is believed to have been an at
tempt to blow up one of the Montgom-
cry Ward & Co.'s warehouses was
thwarted by a heavy rainfall today A
small bomb or dynamite cartridge was
discovered in a pool of water in the
rear of the warehouse. The bomb Is
three inches long, more than an inch
in diameter and weighs nearly half a
pound. 1t has copper caps on each end.

kAMRANH BAY
CAR GIVE R0JESTVENSKY
DIRECT ORDERS
DIANA is BEING DISARMED
Gravity of Franeo-Japanese Issue Is
Believed to Have Been Relieved
by the Vigorous Measures
Taken In Paris

BY Associated Press.
PARIS, April 22.-The French gov
ernment has been officially informed
that Vice Admiral RoJestvensky'u
squadron left Kamranh bay today. The
destination of the squadron is un-
known.
Officials here maintain that the grav-
ity of the Franco-Japanese issue over
neutrality has been much relieved by
the vigorous measures which France
adopted. Emperor Nicholas orders to
Vice Admiral Rojestvensky to leave
French waters are the direct result.
To have the emperor give a decisive
order, 1t is held here, signifies that
such order must be obeyed, whereas
Vice Admiral Rojestvensky has exer-
cised his personal discretion as to OBJ
serving orders emanating from the
Russian admiralty concerning French
waters off the coast of Madagascar.
Heretofore Kamranh bay has been
an unknown spot, although an adven-
turous Frenchman, the Marquis de
Munville, has established a small col
ony as a base for hunting expeditions
and for carrying on a considerable
trade with coast points. Except for
this primitive settlement, Kamranh
bay has no habitation, no telegraph, no
customs house and no official es-
tablishment Of any kind.
Further official advices show that
radical steps have been taken to pre-
vent the Russian protected cruiser
Diana, interned at Saigon after the
naval battle Of August 10, from put
ting to sea and resuming her active
operations. The Diana is understood
to have been lying recently at Haifong,
where her repairs were sufficiently ad-
vanced to permit her to rejoin Admiral
Rojestvensky's squadron and thus add
another powerful cruiser to his
strength. But the French authorities
peremptorily required the cruiser to be

Poisoned Weapons Used

BY Associated Press
ST. PETERSBURG. April 22.-In all
recent attacks on the police and ad-
ministrative officers in Poland their
assailants have used poisoned bullets
and daggers.
AT the popular theaters and music
halls performers are arousing great
demonstrations by singing revolution
ary verses. These are introduced as
encores, not appearing on the regular
programs, which must be passed by the
theatrical censor. Recently the per-
formers did not hesitate to lampoon
the imperial family under a thin dis
guise.
On this trick being discovered, rigid
instructions were issued to the police
not to allow a single encore which
had not been approved by the censor.
In order to ensure prompt action in
case of demonstrations, the governor
and other officials of the provinces
have been directed to remain at their
offices during the Easter holidays.

IN LOTTERY RAID
GREENWALD CIGAR STAND Is
SEARCHED
THOUSANDS FOUND IN SAFE
Constable De La Monte Unearths a
Big Supply of Tickets-Proprie-
tor Arrested and Released
on Ball
THOUSANDS FOUND IN SAFE

One of the most important ex-
posures of lottery, made by officers for
many years occurred late yesterday
afternoon through the assistance of
Constable j. H. De La Monte when
the office of the Greenwald Cigar and
Tobacco company on South Spring
street were raided and 10000 lottery
tickets confiscated
For the past few weeks, since the
amendment, making the sending of
lottery tickets through the express and
through carriers. a federal offense was
passed, Postoffice Inspectors J. H. c.
Wilson and r. w. Madden have been
working for the suppression of lottery
ticket selling in Los Angeles.
Late yesterday afternoon, the Off
GERS filed complaint against the Green
wald company in Justice Youngs
township court and search warrant
was given to Constable De La Monte
to serve. When the officers arrived at
the cigar stand at 107 South Spring
of the clerks is said to have remark
ed, "Welf you have us cinched so come
oil in and take the goods"
Finds Ten Thousand Tickets
The officers started to search the
drawers and compartments in the
place but We're interrupted by a clerk
who told them that all the lottery
tickets were kept in one drawer. The
officers searched the drawer and found
a great quantity of tickets. Not salts
fled with their finding. they opened
several other drawers and hundreds OF
tickets were discovered.
The federal officers were about to
depart but the constable insisted upon
a search of the company's safe. Mr..
Greenwald was sent for but claimed
that although he knew the combination
to the safe, the cashier was the only
one who carried the keys. The Off
GERS threatened to force the safe open
and the proprietor quickly found a
combination that would work.
When the heavy iron doors swung
back, hundreds upon hundreds of lot
terry tickets ranging in value from
twenty-five cents a chance to 81 were
found stacked in the safe and when
counted amounted to nearly 10000.
These tickets were taken away as evil
dence.
The younger member Of the Green
wald firm was arrested by United
States deputy marshal following the
raid and placed under $25OO bail which
his friends furnished, The maximum
penalty for the crime is two years in
prison and a fine OF $1,000.
