TO CHURCH
WORK ERS

BY Associated Press.
INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. Nov. 14.-W.
j. Bryan, an elder in the Presbyterian
church at Lincoln, Neb., tonight adj
dressed the delegates and visitors at
tending the convention of the new or
ganization of church workers to be
called the Presbyterian Brotherhood.
He declared that the name chosen,
brotherhood" could not have been
better selected. He said it was a part
of a world wide movement, a moral
awakening"
The speaker declared there could be
no real morality without religion as
the foundation of morality.
"Tolstoi defined religion" said Mr.
Bryan, las the relation between man
ana his God, and this is one of the best
definitions ] have been able to find.
Tolstoi says morality is the outward
sign of this sentiment. In my travels
in many lands I found the natives
rracticed some kind of religion"
Mr.. Bryan spoke of the custom i'm
some Asiatic lands where the women
were compelled to worship behind a
screen. He said it was different here.
The women were foremost in this coun-
try and it was the men who generally
kept in the background.
Vice President Fairbanks addressed
the convention today, emphasizing the
Importance of the proposed work and
its future effect. He congratulated
the delegates upon their participation
in the creation of such a vast.organiza-
ton.

Also that the American Federation of

NOT ISSUE
PARDON

BY Associated Press
SACRAMENTO, Nov. 14.-Governor
Pardee will not issue a pardon to Rich
ard Dowdall, the man who was SEN
fenced to fifty years in Folsom prison
for robbing DR.. Leland in San Fran
cisco. until the state supreme court
shall have passed on the case.
The governor has examined the trans
cript of the testimony taken at the
trial of Dowdall and also the confess
sions of Dabner and Siemsen and has
decided to pass the matter up to the
supreme court for action,
All the records and the transcript OF
the testimony that was sent to the
governor by the authorities in San
Francisco have been sent to the SUI
preme court at Los Angeles and he has
decided that he will not issue the par
don applied for unless directed so to
do by the supreme court.
Governor Pardee bases his decision
upon the ground that the petition for
the pardon is partially based upon the
allegation that the case against Dow
dali. who was convicted for one of the
San Francisco gas pipe murders, was
very weak and he thinks judges instead
of layman should pass upon the case.

One Candidate, Who Had Been De-

Been Defeated by Sew
eraI Votes
Rv Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 14.--The cam
vass of the election returns today
brought to light the fact that Eugene
Berri, who was supposed to have been
elected to the assembly from the
Thirty-fourth district, had in reality
been defeated by John McKeon, the
candidate.
Berri was running on the Republican
and Union Labor tickets. The semi
official returns had given Berri a ma
jority of g. but the recount develops an
error, Which switches the victory to
McKeon.
Something in the nature of a. sensa-
ton was sprung upon the commission
when Inspector Wackenruder of the
Seventh precinct of the Thirty-third
appeared in answer to subpoena to
explain why this precinct had returned
poll books without evidence of a single
vote having been cast.
Wackenruder said that he had relied
upon college man who was one of the
clerks, and who he thought ought to
know. 1t developed that both poll
books were blank. The commission de-
cided TO omit the precinct entirely from
the count.
Hosmer gained 1874 votes by this
action.
Errors of some sort appeared in nearly
al, of the fifty-two precincts examined
| so far. and some of them show the
grossest stupidity on the part Of the
election boards.
| One of the witnesses summoned adj
mitted under oath that he did not know
| what the poll book was for, and an
other that in his precinct the officers
had signed up all the books before a
single mark had been made in them

SENATOR PLATT AND

NEW YORK, Nov. IA
Senator Thomas c. Platt and
his wife, formerly Mrs. Lillian
T. Janeway, have agreed to
separate.
The law firm of Marsh,
Winslow & Weaver, acting for
Mrs. Platt, made the announce
ment' today. The deed was
signed by both, but not in the
presence of each other, and is
as follows:
Owing to unhappy differ
ences between them, the I'M
dersigned have this day ex-
ecuted a deed of separation.
While making such an an
nouncement we wish to assert
with ali possible emphasis the
falsity of the scandalous arti-
cles which have lately APP
peared in the public prints.
There have been a series Of
differences and disputes which
seem to make a separation ad-
visable, but there has been no
conduct upon the part of either
which could possibly be the
foundation of divorce action.
mo question of the infidelity
of either has ever been raised.
The statements which have
charged violent and disgrace

lutely false.

Believed to Be an Anarchist.
Only One Person Was
Injured
By Associated Press


ROME, Nov. 14:-A bomb was ex-
ploded in front of the Cafe Aragno in
the center of the city today. The fash
lonable throngs at the cafe were thrown
into confusion and one man was seri-
ously wounded. The perpetrator of the
deed was not apprehended.
AT the time of the explosion the cafe
was filled with fashionable people. and
the Corso was crowded with the reg
ular afternoon promenaders. A double
line of carriages stretched in front of
the place. Immediately after the ex-
plosion thick cloud of smoke filled
the air and there was strong odor of
chemicals. The people in and about
the cafe were panic-stricken.
Iney made frantic efforts to escape
In. the fear that the ceilings and the
walls of the came were about to col
lapse and tables and chairs were over
thrown in the mad scramble to get
away. Women screamed and tainted
The large plate glass windows of the
cafe We're shattered.
In speaking of the occurrence one of
those present said he saw a young man
about 20 years of age come to the cafe
ana take seat at a table outside.
He carried handbag which was par
TALLY concealed by light overcoat on
ms arm. lie deposited the handbag
and his coat on a chair at his side and
ordered something to drink.
Warning Comes Too Late
Before the waiter served him the
young man suddenly rose. and SAYING,
81 have forgotten something" he hur-
ried away. leaving his, handbag and
oVercoat behind.
This sudden disappearance caused
suspicion and n young man who had
been sitting near the stranger sprang
to his feet and cried, Bomb, bomb"
This warming however. was too late
to give the crowd time to get away, for
tho explosion came on the heels OF his
last word.
The neighborhood of the cafe was inn
mediately occupied by the police. The
wounded man is Guido MoranO, who
returned here two weeks ago from New
York. jHe was taken to a hospital.
The bomb was of chemical compost

nails and metal balls, The perpetrators
OF the deed is supposed to be an am

TACOMA, Wash, Nov. a.
With a food area embracing ap-
proximately 800 square miles,
northwestern Washington is now
face to face with state of affairs
which, unless the waters subside
soon, will prove far more disas-
trous than the floods of four years
ago.
Fed by constant succession of
heavy rains and by melted snow
from the slopes of the Cascades,
almost every river and stream in
the northwest has within night
and day risen with that rapidity
characteristic of the waters of this
section of the country, overflowed
their banks and are spreading
across the valleys and lowlands,
bringing monetary loss which
may reach millions of dollars.
Scores of towns, including Sc
attic, have been for the last twen-
ty-four hours cut off from all out
side communication. Bridges have
been swept aside, railroad tracks
washed out, telegraph and tele-
phone wires torn down and as
far as can be ascertained at least
half dozen lives lost.
Darkness fell tonight on a scene un-
paralleled in the history of the state.
Watchers from the highlands, looking
across the rain-swept landscape, saw
nothing but an expanse of water with
here and there the tops of submerged
houses, in some of which the forms Of
water-bound persons could be seen sig
Mailing for help.
Attempt Rescue in Vain
Some attempted rescues were made.
but the mad rush of swollen waters,
carrying trees. snags, lumber and even
houses, forced the rescuers back again
and again.
Early today the Northern Pacific
bridge across Stuck river went out,
and soon after came the suspension OF
railroad traffic between Tacoma and
Seattle. Earlier in the day the Tacoma
Railroad and Power company had
found it impossible to maintain it's
service on the interurban line on ac-
