races and may row six during the coming
season. decidedly the largest schedule of
any rowing college in the country Races

Pennsylvania. Columbia and Georgetown
and negotiations are going on with Har-
ward. 1t is probable that Harvard will race

MEMORIAL SERVICES
WASHINGTON LODGE OF ELKS
REMEMBERS IT'S DEAD.

Impressive memorial services were held
last evening at the New National Theater
by Washington Lodge. No. Is. B. P. O..
Elks. More than 3. 900 persons were present
and the theater was appropriately decorated
for the occasion. The evolution Of frater-
nal spirit among men as reviewed by Rabbi
Simon, a program and an address by Rev.
A. P. Doyle of the Paulist Fathers on
Charity" were features of the program.
Exalted Ruler r. E. Mattingly presided
and with the assistance of the other Off
GERS Of the lodge conducted the services
The exercises were opened with "Tannhau-
ser" by the Marine Band. After express
sions FROM the officers regarding their va
rious duties the names of the members who
died during the past year were read by the
secretary. The deceased numbered ten and
as the names were read the virtues of each
were recalled.
Names Of the Dead.
The deceased members were: Hanse H.
Smith. Fritz w. Reuter-. James E. Gilmore
Col. F. H. Harrington. John F. Kelly. Ben
jamin B. Whitney, Benjamin A. Miller
Thomas A. Dolan, Michael Dyrenforth and
Edwin B. Hay. In speaking of Mr.. Hay
Mr.. Mattingly recalled that he was the
founder OF the home for Elks and their
widows.
Inc reading OF the names was made par
ticularly impressive by the use of a large
electric cross. Ten lights were on the
cross. and as the name of each deceased
member was called light was extinguished
and after the last name had been called
every light on the cross was out and the
entire auditorium was in darkness. like
ness Of the deceased member, as his name
was mentioned, was thrown upon a screen.
While this part of the ceremony was being
performed the Elks' quartet, composed of
William D. Mcfarland. Roland Roderick,
Charles E. Myers and Dana c. Holland
sang The Vacant Chair"
Fraternity and Charity.
Prayer was offered by Father Doyle. The
Marine Band then rendered a funeral
march, after which Rabbi Simon delivered
the address on Fraternity" declaring that
true progress means that the world shall
grow smaller as the human heart expands.
AS two opponents Of the idea Of fraternity
he named Christ and Moses.
Father Doyle's address on Charity fol-
lowed. The greatest strength of man, he
said. lies in the tenderness of charity. He
adjured his hearers to remain steadfast to
the principle OF charity.
The memorial committee having the serv-
Ices In charge was composed of NJ. G. Nc

Re.i.ts sO-Cent en-, Law.

The Consolidated Gas Company Of
New York has gone into the Circuit Court
to restrain the State of New York from
executing the law fixing the price of gas
at so cents. The company offers, if an
injunction is granted at once, to turn
over to the court all money collected above
the 80 cents while the suit is being adj
Indicated, these moneys to be disposed Of
according to the report. The general al
legation In the bill is that the law deprives
the company OF a reasonable profit, al
though gas at 81 is cheaper than it is any
where else In the State. But the most
striking averment is that the act is loaded
up with heavy penalties that threaten ruin
to the company If it even seeks to test
in the courts the validity of the law.

Winning early a reputation for SD

The most notable contest of his con-
gressional career and one which at
tracted to him wider attention than
anything else vas when he led the
Senate minority in 1901 Gnd defeated
the Federal elections bill. To his saga

defeat of the measure which was 10
obnoxious to the South.

leader Of that body. It was at that

Unconscious Pruning.

Like most authors dependent on
their pen for a livelihood, George Au-
gustus Sala turned out a vast amount
of ephemeral work in the early days
of his journalistic career. There are
people now who can call to mind his
transactions with publishers of no
great eminence. One of these publish
ers rejoiced in the name of Potter. The
times Mr.. Sala danced attendance on
his middleman in order to bring a GER
tain business matter to a head would

KING PREDICTS ANOTHER BOMB
Spanish Monarch Says He VIII BE
Victim.

That King Alfonso fully expects to be
the victim Of an assassin is indicated by
his statement to L. w. Whitridge, the
American envoy to the royal wedding.
Referring to the bomb explosion the King
said:
"Yes, fortunately, Il was unsuccessful /;
but it will come again. 1t may be any
time, perhaps tomorrow, perhaps within
a month, perhaps within a year-but it
will come"
As the King made this statement at
the palace he shrugged his shoulders and
his face wore a look of calm resignation
as he gave this forecast of the future.
Although he bore himself splendidly
throughout the terrible experience, the
courtiers witnessed a trying scene as
King Alfonso and Queen Victoria hur-
ried within the castle after the attempt
was made to assassinate them. For a
moment Alfonso's nerves were completely
u%nstrung and, turning to Queen Victoria,
her dress spattered with blood, he ex-
claimed
why did l bring you TO this country!
1t was wrong; you never should have
come here"

LAKE BUSINESS SHOWS A GAIN.
Government Report Indicates Heavy

Movement of Freight.
A bulletin issued by the Department OF
Commerce and Labor says that commerce
on the great lakes during April and the
first four months of 1906 exceeds that of
like periodh in any earlier year. For the
month of April shipments from all points
on the lakes amounted to 4,365, sos net
tons, while for the year to April 30 they
aggregate 5,41S,4S1, a gain for the month
of 1,275,042 and for the four months Of
1,592,656 net tons if compared with cor
responding mvements in 1905.
1t should be noted, however, says the
bulletin, that the unusually heavy west
bound movement of coal was probably in
some degree due to the storing of vast
quantities of this commodity at eastern
ports prior to the opening or the lakes, in
anticipation of a coal strike, while the
general movement of nearly all articles
of may have been accelerated by
the fear of a general strike among steam
ship employees, of which there seemed to
be a probability during the entire month.

the opposite direction. OF the April coal
movement $685. rs tons were shipped from
Cleveland and 1913, 524 from Buffalo.

MEXICAN RACE WAR.
PoRTY-FIvE AMERICANS KILLED
IN MINE RIOT.
outbreak Follows Strike and De-
mnnd for Increased wns-.-Mex-
leans Fire On Foreigners and
Many Fall mt the First yoIley.

In a desperate race war between
striking Mexican miners and Ameri-
cans forty-fiye Americans were killed
Friday at C~ananea, Mexico, where is
located the great copper camp Of Col
pnel w. c. Greene. The camp was set
on fire and it is reported that the Mex
leans defed all authority. They were
reported to be using dynamite in blow
Ing up the great smelters and mills
owned by the Greene company.
The trouble arose at Cananea over
The demand of the Mexicans for an in
crease in wages from $3.50 to S. per
gay. Colonel Greene addressed prac-
tcally the entire population Of the
camp in an effort to pacify the excited
hexicans. However, between 4 and 8
S'clock in the afternoon the Mexicans
opened fire On the Americans and forty
or more were killed.
Colonel Greene wired at once to Bis
bee for all the armed men that could
be sent to protect the Americans and
their property at Cananea. The popu-
lation Of Cananea Is $4,000, of which
5000 are Americans. The family of
Colonel Greene arrived at Naco, Arlz.,
Friday afternoon, but the colonel re-
NAMED with his property.
There has been bad blood at Cananea
for some time and only a month ago
the home Of the superintendent of the
mine was dynamited by unknown par
ties. Friday one of the policemen Of
the city was killed by an American,
who claimed it was a personal griev-
ance he had against the Mexican.
George Metcalf, who was in charge
of the large lumber business of tae
Greene company, was n of the first
men to be killed. The Mexican labor
ers had been gathering in a great
crowd during the forenoon and Friday
afternoon about 1900 of them started
from the vicinity Of the Sonora hotel
toward the lumber yard.
On the way they stopped at a livery
stable and tried to persuade two Next
cans at work to Join them, but they
refused, and when the proprietor told
them the stable was his individual prop
erty and was not connected with the
mining company they left. At the lum-
Der yard a large fire hose was brought
out and as the crowd approached the
Office water was thrown on them.
At the same time Metcalf advanced
on the crowd with a rifle. The Next
cans closed In on him, took the gun
from his hands and beat him to death
with 1t. William Metcalf, a nephew,
rushed to the rescue of his uncle, when
he was shot by a Mexican. Three Mex
