GLADDEN. Scores Committee.

Columbus, Ohio, April 13.--The Rev.
Washington GLADDEN.. who 80 bitterly
denounced the Rockefeller gift to the
board of missions, yesterday paid his
respects to the prudential committee
for accepting it.
.sThe prudential committee has
placed itself on the broad and intelli-
gent position that all gifts must be re-
ceived no matter what may be the
character of the giver or by what inn
moralities or crimes his gains may
have been gathered" said DR.. Glad
den.
"No discrimination is henceforth to
be made The pirate or the train rob-
Der may bring his booty to the treas
ury of the American board and it will
be thankfully received and if suffi-
GENTLY large will be described as a
magnificent gift
"By the decision the prudential op-
enly proclaims that money to which
the giver has no moral right may be
rightfully given to missionary So
ciety if only his motive is to do good
with it; and it assumes the power Of
judging the motive of the giver."

Much Damage to Shipping and to
Cocoanut Groves.
Papeete, Tahiti, March 81, via San
Francisco, April ia hurricane near
Tahiti and north of there on the 24th
and 25th caused much damage to
shipping.
On the oath the gasoline schooner
Orlfyna's bottom was damaged on a
reef at Mahaatea, twenty miles north
of Tahiti. On the 25th inst, the
storm broke over Papeete. Great trees
came crashing down, in some instan-
ces wrecking houses In the harbor
the schooner Copennarth had a narrow
escape Paul Martins steam launch
suffered it's back broken, being washed
ashore against the rocks following
close hpon a government tter which
was completely smashed. Schooner
Marian dragged her anchors, but sus-
tanned little damage.
The other sections of Tahiti suffered
much damage from the gale. The
French Protestant missionary schoon-
er Leiox du Sud put into Raven bay,
having lost nearly all her sails.
The steamer Mariposa, Of San Fran
cisco, encountered the outer edge OF
the hurricane two days out from Pa
peete ard was delayed six hours, be-
ing compelled to avoid the usual pas
sage thru the Tuamosu islands In fa-
vor Of the New Westerly one, which 10
longer by 100 miles.
1t is feared in Tahiti that the
schooner Teita, owned by some ma
tives, went down In the storm. It rs
also feared that the Famoi Ter More,
which was being repaired at Here
Hentai, where she had struck a reef
two months ago, was caught in the
gale.
The greatest damage done by the
storm is believed to lie in the destruc-
ton Of cocoanut groves. In the Tua-
motu section unquestionably the cop
ra industry has been greatly retarded
for this season.
Edward S. Hall, presiding elder OF
the Mormon church. has recently pur-
chased a site in the city Of Papeete
suitable for the erection OF a church

New York, April 13.-Congressman
Henry T. Rainey Of Illinois, was the

regulation OF all public utilities. In
this connection he said:
"If 1T is found possible to regulate
and control these public utilities so
that they are servants, not the mas
ters of the people, Chicago has pointed
out the way Rather than submit to
railroad ownership of the instruments
of the government, the people will de-
mand and will have government own

SENATOR ATTACKS GRAND JURY.
Mitchell Charges II Was Not Qualified
- lnd;ot Him

Portland, Ore, April 12-When Uni
ted States Senator John H. Mitchell
entered court yesterday to answer four
land fraud indictments he challenged
the acts of the federal grand jury and
asked that the first writ be abated.
He plead not guilty in the othG cases.
Senator Mitchell charged that Jur-
ors w. Robertson, the original fore
man, and Carl Phelps, the secretary,
had been excused illegally, that Jur-
ors Frank G. Buffum and George Peeb-
ler had been sworn in some time after
the grand jury had been impaneled;
that Juror George Gustin was not a
citizen of the United States; that
Jurors Frank Bolter and Joseph Ess-
ner were not taxpayers, and that Dis
trict Attorney Heney was disqualified
in many ways, besides being preju-
diced.
The plea of abatement was based
on the case wherein Senator Mitchell
is accused of accepting pay to expe-
dite land titles before the land de-
partnent at Washington in behalf of
Frederick A. kribs.
MitchelTs attorney announced there
was question of moral turpitude in
volved in the case wherein the sena-
tor is accused of accepting $4,000 from
A. D. Puter, and therefore he would
waive all legal technicalities and be
ready to proceed to trail without de-
lay.
The other indictments are for con-

St. Petersburg, April 13. - The re-
port that the former minister of in
terror, Prince Sviatopolk- Mirsky, will
return to public life as president of
the rescript commission, altho not Of
ficially confirmed, creates much salts
faction, as his sympathy with the prin-
ciple Of popular representation is well
known. Numberless stories are being
printed abroad giving details Of the
character, composition and date of the
convocation of the coming parliament.
The Associated Press can state they
are premature. The press has won a
very considerable victory in the de-
cision Of the press commission to re-
move censorship from foreign press
kilograms. The regulations, however
will not go into effect until revision
of the press laws is complete.

GARFIELD in KANSAS.
Begins Investigation That Will Cover
Eighty Phases of Conditions.

Topeka, Kas., April 13.-Boycotts,
discrimination, freight rates, and the
changes In the price of oil are sub
iects which the commissioner of cor
porations, James r. Garfield, will in
vestigate during his stay in Kansas.
Under these subjects are number of
questions which will affect the gener-
al result In order to fully comply
with the provisions of the Campbell
resolution Mr.. Garfield expects to in
quire into nearly eighty phases OF the
oil situation in the west.
Commissioners Garfield's plan is to
seek information direct from the re-
tail dealers by mail. Retail dealers
thruout the state recently received
letters from Mr.. Garfield, containing
a list of ten questions to be answered
and returned to the department of
commerce and labor. Dealers who re-
fuse or fail to answer will undergo
rigid examination. Dealers will be
protected against publicity in connec-
ton with their statements.
Some Of the questions are:
Price paid a gallon nearest Dec 10,
1904, for each kind of oil or gasoline,
giving name and brand of each and
If rebate was secured from invoice
price aside from return of empty bar
rels: were prices for delivered oil, and
if not, what additional freight or
drayage was paid per barrel; price re-
ceived for empty barrels, and how
paid: location of tank station; more
important changes in price of the two
leading kinds of oil during 1901 to
1904, with rebate, If any, in each case;
difference in conditions regarding de-
livery barrels, etc, fnQm earlier pur-
chases; past and present prices Of oil
in dealers town or vicinity; and the
extent and effect OF competition
among manufacturers and jobbers;
employment of peddlers. and the diff
ference between the price in dealers
and other towns.
1t is expected that the answer to
these questions, supplemented by in
auiries among some dealers, will show
to what extent the discrimination be-
tween individuals and communities
was practiced before the legislature
enacted the nti-discrimination law.
Mr.. Garfield held conference with
General Manager II. Z. Nudge of the
Santa Fe concerning the suit against
the Santa Fe, alleging conspiracy with
the Standard in the matter OF Oil
rates. Other leading railroad men will
meet Mr.. Garfield.

sas Oil Producers Association, con-
ferred with MI Garfield last night.

do all they could to help the commits

AS ever he declined to discuss poiftf-
cal matters and said his visit had no
political significance.
The new phase of the liquor. busi-
ness that is to be tested at Corydon
has never been before the supreme
court. 1t is understood that an agent
of a hauor house who was out solic-
iting business gave samples of the
goods to prove the quality and was
arrested for violating the liquor laws
Of the state. The agent was arraigned
and gave bond for his appearance ana
will be tried later. He claims that
his actions were legitimate part OF
his vocation, while the prosecution
claims it is in violation of law. The
trial will be held next Thursday. II
the state wins the case it is likely to
have a great deal to do with the liquor
business, and it is thought that it will
put check on the C. o. D. business
done thru the express companies.
The Des Moines city council this
year adopted new plan in its deal
ings as a board of equalization. After
listening to the arguments OF the
property owners for a reduction OF the
assessment the board in most cases
refused to give out for publication the
amount of the reduction and thus the
other property owners were not encour-
aged to rush in and get their property
assessment lowered to a like amount.
