WHEN MARIAN TRAVELLED ALoN


Cousin Morris, will you do something

The senior member of the law firm Of
Woodell & Brown glanced from his Office
desk to the innocent, eager face.

CONGRESS OF NAVY LEAGUE.
Instrument of Agitation Has Not Re-
Taxed Efforts.

Special cablezrnm to The Star.
HAMBURG, June 27.-The proceedings of
the annual congress Of the Navy League
show that this powerful instrument OF agt-
tation has by no means relaxed its efforts
in consequence either of Its past successes
or Of the criticism which It's present action
excites among large sections Of the Ger
man people. A portion OF the delibera-
tons OF the congress was confidential, but
1t was stated by the president, Prince saln,
that the number of members had Increased
during the past year by about a quarter Of
a million and now reached the remarkable
figure of close upon 100000
The league continues to enjoy the highest
patronage, and Prince Henry OF Prussia
was present at the opening meeting as pro-
tector of the association. an Office which he
assumed by the desire OF the emperor. He
urged the league to cultivate that unity
which characterized the navy itself, not
withstanGing the heterogeneous elements of
its composition, and to avoid discussions
and friction.

LOCAL OPTION
Anti-Saloon League Begins
Active Campaign in
this State

Enforcement Of all laws regulating
saloons and gambling is the aim of
the anti-saloon league" stated w. p.
Holman. vice president Of the state
league in Idaho, who arrived this
morning from Moscow to arrange for
the organization Of local league in
Lewiston.
I'VE are concentrating our main en-
ergies right now upon the passage of
local option law by the Idaho legis-
lature. A committee, Of the state
league has framed bill for presenta-
tion and campaign will be conduct
ed throughout the state this fall and
winter in support Of the local option
movement"
Mr.. Holman would not say that any
rigid campaign would be inaugurated
in Lewiston for the Sunday closing of
saloons or the strict enforcement of
the state gambling law. "Such mat
ters will be left entirely with the local
organization if one is formed" stated
Mr.. Holman.
1t Is intended to hold a meeting,
probably in the Presbyterian church
Thursday afternoon, for the purpose
of organizing a local anti-saloon
league. In the evening of the same
day Rev. H. H. Russell of New York.
founder of the anti-saloon league In
the United States, will address pub
lie meeting on the cause which he up
holds.
Mr.. Russell is said to be a lucid,
earnest and eloquent speaker He is
lawyer as well as a preacher and
is able to give the legal side of the
controversy. He is the principal pro-
moter of this great temperance fedora
tion and one of the most able ex-
ponent in America along this line of
civic Righteousness.
The anti-saloon league of the state
regards Lewiston as a fertile field for
its operations. A local league, 1t is
understood. was organized here some
time ago. but most of the officers
have moved from town and the work
of the league amounted to little. o.

OF the Lewiston National bank, who
was severely burned Saturday evening
at Lake Waha by gasoline explo-
sion, is resting easily at his home
today with his head and throat swath-
