The Late King Christian.

Copenhagen, Denmark, Feb. l6.-The
body of the late King Christian was re.
moved today from Copenhagen to Rosk-
ilde on the Island Of iceland, the an
cient capital of Denmark, where most of
the Danish monarchs are buried, preyi-
Gus to the interment which will take
place on Sunday. The hearse in which
the body was conveyed was escorted from
the palace chapel by soldiers and sailors.
The cortege was headed by bussars and
field artillery. The horses which drew
the hearse were led by groOms dressed
in mourning. The hearse was lanked
on either side by twelve officers of the
army and navy as pallbeaIsrs and be
hind the funeral car The iavorite horse
of the deceased monarch was led 10y two
grooms. The mourning coach followed
next, King Frederick, the new ruler,
riding a'one. Then came other coaches
containing other royal mourners in
Guiding King Hqakon of Norway, who
arrived this morning. All business was
suspended aud the houses of the city
are draped in black. The streets were
densely packed with people who sPpesr-
ed in mourning dress.
The coffin was borne on n low open
hearse, covered with national flag and
few flowers. Minute guns doomed and
the bells were tolled as the procession
moved through the packed streets, crowd
ed with weeping people. The sun shone
brightly, in contrast with the open
mourning of the people. The crowds
we're so thick that several persons swoOn-
eli from the crush, but there were no
other accidents, and the best Of order
was maintained. The casket contain
ing the remains was placed aboard q
train for Roskilde at AS O'Clock, and
the royal mourners started tor the scene
of burial on the same train.

FIFTEEN hundred bills have been pre-
scented in the legislature since its open
ing, and they continue to crowd the
clerks desk. The calendars are loaded
down and members are pushing hard 10
get their private pet bills acted on by the
committees to the hindrance of public
business. An extra session is still be-
ing urged by some members for the sake
of the per diem or for private schemes,
but it is said that the word was passed
around yesterday that Governor Swanson
is opposed to calling an extra session
and that he is 10th to put the State to
the extra expense Immediately after
coming into Office. ln'this the Govern
nor is dead right and it is hoped he may
hold to his present attitude on this sub
ject. Should the legislature remain in
session over the regular 6O-day term
they would have TO pay their own ex-
penses and of course this is not to their
liking. An extra session could not ex-
tend over 80 Jays, and every bill would
have to be re-introduced aud treated as
q new bill. Much time would be con
sumed and little of the 80 days left for
decisive work. Many of the members,
may it be said to their credit, are against
an extra session.

Graft" Among Ministers.

Graft has taken possession of the
Christian ministry, according to Dr.
Charles E. Hewitt, of the University Of
Chicago Divinity School. In an address
to the theological students Wednesday
DR.. Hewitt declared that ministers neg
lect their religious duties and use their
positions for financial gain by question
able methods. Charges Of illegitimate
connections with insurance companies,
advertising agencies and other business
enterprises were made against the
preachers by the university ecclesiast.
Money schemes, in which members of
the church congregations are oftentimes
used as victims, are INDUCED in by many
ministers as a side line to their pulpit
work, he told the students. DR.. Hewitt
declared the prevalence OF graft
among religious leaders as q chief cause
for the deficiency in the ministry OF
today and a menace 10 the spread OF
religion.
