DR.. ROBERTS TORETIRE

Kansas City. March 12.-Dr- J. E.

morning in the Willis Wood theater,
that he was going to retire to the quiet
life OF a farm for the remainder of his
days. DR.. Roberts announcement had
been expected fer several weeks. 1t
came yesterday at the close of his ser
mon.
The Church of This World has been
in existence ten ears. he said. ..As its
exponent and representative I have
tried to perform my task according to
my ability. and to bear with fortitude
such burdens as the position involved.
That task. which I have loved so well,
I must now reli1quish. That burden,
too heavy to be longer borne, I must
lay down. I could not have taken this
step at a tinHa when the movement was
new and IN a measure experimental.
But now it has acquired momentum.
1t has vindicated its wisdom and dem
onstrated its self-sustairing power. You
can easily carry forward its Iiberalizing
mission.

HUGE MOUNTAIN LION KILLED.

Okeene, Okla. March 12.-One of
the biggest mountain lions seen in
Oklahoma for years, measuring over
nine feet from tip to tip and weighing
ITS pounds, was killed in a cave in the
gypsum hills, near here, by George

upon the lion unexpectedly, while ex-

who was armed at all. when they came
upon the beast, which was evidently
prepared to put UP a stiff fight The
cave was dimly lighted by a lantern
carried by the exploring party, which
made good craftsmanship difficult, but
.Steubenville was fortunate enough to
hit the panther in the eye, killing It in

the first seen in the gypsum hills for
years. Steubenville is having the skin
cured for his own use, and has dis
tributed the claws among Okeene
friends as souvenirs.

DIDN'T COMPLY WITH LAW.
Burial Associations Neglect Provisions
of Insurance Statute.

All of the burial associations doing
business in the state of Kansas are
theoretically disbarred from doing
business in the state for their failure
to comply with the insurance depart
ment laws of the state. The supreme
court decided Saturday that burial
associations are subject to all the reg
ulations of the insurance department
but not single burial association in
the state has complied with the law
which requires an annual report prior
to February %.
There isn't a single burial associa-
ton in the state that has any right to
do business" said Insurance Commits
sioner Luling today Not one of
them has complied with the law. Last
year two of them fled their reports
but under this new ruling of the su-
preme court most of them can't afford
to work under the supervision of the
insurance department. There are a.
few legitimate associations Of this
character. but most of them are
gratis. Nobody knows how much
money they make. They charge q
certain fee from their members for
every death, and agree to give insured
members a funeral costing 500. The
income from their assessments no
doubt amounts in some cases to a
thousand dollars for every death.
Such organizations can not afford to
make public their books and &C
counts. Nearly every town in the
state has its burial association.
Il don't know of any way we can
enforce this order of the supreme
court We may get fnjunctions
against the illegiumate concerns which
do not comply with the state law. hut
they Will simply change their name
and resume business. It will be as
difficult to enforce the order of the
supreme court as it is to enforce the
prohibitory law"

HOUSE IS ANGRY.
Up in Arms Against Senate for
Scant Action
In Regard to Philippine, State
hood and Rate Bills.
THREAT TO STAND PAT
Caucus of Republican Members
Called for Wednesday
To Decide Upon a Future Course
Of Action.

Washington, March 12.=Statehood
legislation formed a topic of discus
sion at the White House today. It
developed from the calls on the presi-
dent of Speaker Cannon and Repre-
sentative Watson of Indiana, the Re
publican whip" of the house. that the
members of the house are incensed
at the action of the senate not only
on the statehood bill, but on other
measures passed by the house which
have been received with disapproval
by the senate.
When Speaker Cannon was asked
if, in his opinion. there would be
statehood legislation by this congress,
he said vehementIy: GO ask AIdrich
to be running things. So far as I am
concerned, so far as my vote goes, the
legislation will proceed along the usual
lines. The bill will be sent to a con-
ference between the two branches.
Do they think the house was born in
the woods to be scared by an owl %
Mr.. watson was positive the house
would not concur in the senate amend
ments to the statehood bill. THE
house will stand pat" he declared.
THE senate has kicked out our Phil
lppine Dill, has tried to enaSculate the
rate bill. and has cut the life out of
the statehood bill. Do you think the
house will stand such treatment2 It
will not, and you may depend on it. ="
A caucus of the Republican mem
bers of the house will be called for
Wednesday evening for the purpose of
discussing the senate statehood bill.
Statehood insurgents are rebelling
at the proposition for a caucus on the
grounds that it is an attempt to bind
them There seems to be a general
understanding that the so-called in
surgent members will not attend the
caucus.
In the Senate.
Washington, March 12.=Mr Till
man today addressed the senate in re-
ply to President ROosevelt's message,
concerning the Tilman-G illispie resolu-
ton instructing the interstate COM
merce commission to make examina-
ton of railroad Determinations in the
matter of hauling coal and oil. The
m essage, which condemned the reso-
luton on the ground that its purpose
was not specific, was sent to the desk
by Mr.. Tillman and was reread.
At 2 o'clock the house railroad bill
vas taken up and Mr.. Culberson ad-
dressed the senate.
In the House.
Washington March 122The state
hood bill was returned to the house
by the senate today and was laid on
the speakers table without comment
District Of Columbia legislation was
then taken up. there being nine bills
on the calendar.
