DIVORCE IS NEcEs-

Council Bluffs, April 1.-THE pas
tors association of this city has for
the second time Voted down resolu-
tions pledging the members to marry
no divorces. The proposition came

down three couples in one month.
Other ministers took occasion to diff.
fer with him, some claiming that di-
vorce was a necessary evil and others
even that it was positive good to
society. When the matter came UP
again yesterday, it was again laid
upon the table The association has
appointed committee to draw up
substitute resolutions Of. moderate
character, and these will probably be

Increase Americas Foreign Trade
Roosevelt Warmly Endorsed.

indianapolis. April 1.-THE repub.
llcan state convention assembled here
today to nominate for state officers
with the exception of the candidates
for governor, lieutenant governor and
reporter of the supreme court. Repre-
sentative Abraham L. Brick was tenn
porary chairman.
Senators Beyeridge and Hemenway
made short addresses to the conven-
tion.
Platform Endorses Roosevelt.
The platform as agreed upon dwelt
at length upon state issues, indorsed
Roosevelt's administration, Fairbanks
conduct of his Office, and the work of
the Indiana senators and representa-
tives. 1t urged national regulation of
railroad rates insuring equality to all
and favored the principle of protec-
tion, "the true policy of which is that
the schedules are to be changed when
experience shall suggest their
change" Such a plan is endorsed by
the platform as is also the making Of
reciprocity arrangements with other
nations that will increase the United
States foreign trade.
Declares Against Trusts.
The trust plank reads: 1--WE favor
the enforcement of all laws enacted ia
protect the people against the en-
croachments of combined capital. We

a lawful way successfully to conduct
our modern industries and commerce
and we believe in protecting it in its
legitimate functions"

Witte Uses Loar as Weapon.
Count Witte has cleverly seized the
moment to force an issue between
himself and his rival, when, in addi-
tion to the verdict of the people at the
polls against the governments repres-
sive policy, the question of the big
foreign loan hangs in the balance
Count Witte realizes fully that much
of the confidence in Russia's solvency
among financiers abroad is due to the
fact that he is at the helm and that
Eif he goes the chances of the loan
vanish into thin air.
An aide de camp of the emperor, be-
longing to the anti-Witte coterie at
court. said yesterday:
"The emperor is hypnotized with the
idea that Witte alone is capable Of Sc
curing loan abroad. For this reason,
if for no other, he does not dare to
allow him to depart"
