GOV. PATTIsoN's ILLNESS.
Believed to Be Afflicted With Tumor
-Oneratfon Iikelv

Though the physicians at Columbus, Ohio,
say that the object In taking the governor
to Christ Hospital at Cincinnati Is merely
to rest for the remaining part of the jour-
ney to Milford, 1t is believed that the inten-
ton Is to perform an operation apon him.
II such an operation Is necessary it must
be done quickly to have the desired effect.
1t is now known that the principal cause
of trouble In the governors case is the
prostate gland. There is a growth there
that the physicians have regarded rs sar-
comatous: that is. malignant tumor.
Before leaving for Cincinnati, DR.. o. p.
Holt said in regard to this:
Gov. Pattson Is suffering. among ether
things. from an abnormal growth the
prostate gland There are Indications that
this may be a cancerous growth. This Will
be determined at the hospital at Cincinnati.
1t may be that an operation will be neces-
sary. If TIE examination reveals to GER
taInty that the governor Is afflicted with q
malignant growth. he will be operated upon
Immediately. Ne one can predict tho out
come OF such an operation.
A dispatch from Cincinnati says: Gov.
Pattisons condition was satisfactory
today The noon bulletin issued by the doc
tors follows:
"Gov. Pattison passed a very comfortable
night. His condition Is just about the
same as yesterday. Pulse. 80: temperature,
normal; respiration, 90"

Third Assistant Postmaster General Ed
win c., Madden has written letter to Mr..
T. c. Parsons, chairman of the printers
efght-hour committee, in reference to q
large number of post cards which were sent
out to business houses by the Ladies' Aux
Hilary to Columbia Typographical Union.
These cards were rejected by station G of
this city because 1t was said they were
larger than the size permitted by law to go
through the mails for one cent each. The
regulation size is three and nine-sixteenths
inches by five and nine-sixteenths inches
Those sent out by the ladies were but one
eighth of an inch longer than the legal size
Mr.. Madden In his communication says
he has decided to let this lot go through the
mails, but suggests that the legal size be
conformed to in the future.
Mr.. T. c. Parsons. chairman of the eight
hour committee of the printers replying to
the statement of President Byron s. Adams
of the Typothetae Of Washington, as pub
lished in The Star yesterday, said this aft
ernoon:
When the president of the typothetae
said that only one-third of the printers of
the country are members Of the Typogra-
phical Union according to the 1900 census
claiming the remaining two-thirds to be
non-union. he unthoughtedly overlooked the
TACT that the census includes every man,
woman and child setting type in the coun-
try, and as many thousands of them are
and villages where there are no unions the
opportunity for affiliating Is lacking
st is only fair to these country printers
to say that about 80 per cent of them are
In full sympathy with the principles Of the
Typographical Union and join 1t at the first
opportunity.
THE great number of letters received by
our members from proprietors of typoth-
etae ofhceS holding out Hattering induce
mentS to them to desert our ranks and act
as strikebreakers is very good evidence that
the typothetae thinks the skill of the print
er's art Is represented in the union

The proposed union or the Methodist
Protestant. Congregational and United
Brethren churches was the leading ques-
ton which came before yesterdays session
of the Maryland conference of the Metho-
dist Protestant Church in Baltimore. The
body did not commit itself on the question
Rev. DIR. Il. Ii. Lewis. president OF West

missioner appointed by last years confer
ence to attend the gathering OF the three
denominations at Dayton. Ohio. in Febru-
airy. made a thorough report of the prog
ress made by the gathering. He laid par
tfcuiar emphasis on the am and scope oil
the proposed union ana called attention to
erroneous differences which had been drawn
DR.. Lewis Report.
ct is proper that 1 should say" DIR,
Lewis began, that the developments OF
the few months Immediately preceding the
meeting of the council convinced me that
organic union Of the three churches was out
Of the question"
The proposal that constitution be adopt
ed, DIR. Lewis said, brought the question OF
organic unity to the front from the first.
In the last hour of the conference, he SAID
the committee appointed for the purpose re-
ported that 1t was inexpedient to adopt q
constitution.
The definite work OF the conference con-
sisted. said DR.. Lewis, In the appointment
Of committees to consider the questions OF
doctrine, polfty and vested rights. The
work OF the committee on doctrine, he said,
proved to be easiest, owing to the willing
ness OF the Congregationalists. contrary TO
the popular idea, to unite in a declaratio
Of faith. One of their number was under
stood to be the author Of the report.
Aid for College.
At the morning session Or. Lewis re-
quested that the conference raise a SUBJ
scription Of $4,000 toward the $50 900 which

Adreon Donovan was selected college agent
to help collect the subscriptions and in
other ways to seek to advance the interest
Of the college.
Rev. J. II. Lucas, secretary of home
missions, In speaking of the need of
large fund for the work. pointed out how
great the need is for missionary work
among the Mormons.
THE Mormons," Rev. Mr.. Lucas said
ARE enslaved by an ecclesiastical power
that is far more despotic than the Russian
autocraey. This system of the Mormons
brushes out the noble instincts. He
called attention TO the peril of neglecting
to guide the moral life of immigrants who
come here in poverty and ignorance, and,
with no influence to guide them in the
right way often become criminals, endan-
gering and lowering the tone of the people
of the whole land. In speaking of the
work in Seattle, Wash, he paid tribute
to Rev. A N. Ward formerly OF Baltimore.
Foreign Missions.
Then the question of foreign missions
was taken up by Rev. T. G. Ogburn. the
corresponding secretary Of the foreign
mission board. Miss M. NJ. Kuhns also
spoke on this subject.

the Coast.

There has been no appreciable
falling off in the passenger travel over
our line to California because of the
earthquake said J. NJ. Cornell, gen
eral passenger agent of the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe. today. Reports
received show that our California
business for April and for the first
couple of weeks in May is just about
the same as It was last year. and last
year was a record one for travel to the
coast"
Mr.. Cornell stated that the summer
time card of the Santa Fe would prob
ably not go into effect until the middle
of June and that such changes as will
be made in the running schedule of
the trains have not been decided on
as yet. It has been decided, however,
to run the California Limited daily
throughout the summer. Heretofore
the train has been run only semiweek-
" during the summer months, but the
demand for this train IS such that the
company has decided to run it daily
throughout the summer this year.

Change in Plans for Running Rock
Islands Golden State.

Announcement was made today at
the Rock Island offices here that word
had been received from Chicago to the
effect that the Golden State Limited
would be run indefinitely over the
tracks Of the Chicago & Alton from
Joliet, just this side of Chicago, to
Kansas City. During the winter
months this train has been run this
way over the Alton tracks and some
weeks ago stories were circulated to
the effect that there was q difference
between the Alton and Rock Island
management over the continued run
ming of the train this way. it being
stated that the Alton management
wanted the Rock Island to take back
the train and run it over its own
tracks.
Rock Islands officials here stated
that the contract to run this train over
the Alton tracks was only for the win
ter and spring mouths and that it
would be returned to the Rock Island
tracks when the new summer time
card went into effect on June 8.
But the word received today indi-
Gates that the Golden State will con-
tinue to run over the Alton tracks
throughout the summer. The officials
here received no explanation as to why
this change in plans has been made.
