 He added:
 Things are in such fine shape around this table that 1t would be a shame for any uninvited guest tc break Into the harmony of the scene and turn 1t into Belshazzars feast. We must not suppose that these gentle men are indulging in any luxuries as they are sitting around this table. They are not regaling themselves in mid-winter with tropical fruit from Florida groves or California vineyards, transported in the Armour Company s refrigerator cars; on the contrary their meal is a very frugal one. They have been working individuals during all of their lives, and now after years or incessant toll and labor, at the mo- ment when they have acquired base competency and are earning a tair amount of wages to keep themselves and their dependent families from want and Restitution, 1t is heartless and cruel deed now to unsettle their equilibrium or to deprive them or thelr hard earned savings"
 Announcing that his interests are identified with the railroads, MT. Ray ner advised the railroad managers to accept the pending legislation, lest the people take this question in their own hands, recognize political party that will be irresistible and will in the end enact far more stringent provisions.

STATUS OF STATEHOOD.
Cannon Threatens To Put or Matt
 Until Next Session.

Until Next Session.
 , Washington, March 14.-Whether the caucus on statehood to be participated in by Republicans of the House tomor- row afternoon is to bind" those who attend. has been the absorbing topic of discussion among "insurgent' mem- bers of the party today. No conclu- sion has been reached.
 For this reason a conference of those Republicans who wish to concur in the Senate amendments has been called for 1 o'clock tomorrow. At this con ference it will be determined whether insurgents shall attend the caucus or shall stay away.
 Speaker Cannon says he has not yet lost faith in the overwhelming Re publican majority which voted for the House bill. He received many tele- grams today and admitted that influ- ences were working to secure q con- currence in the Senate measure. The caucus tomorrow will, he says, deter mine this point.
 MT. Cannon made the significant remark that people seemed to forget that there was three months session of the present .congress-anuding to the coming short session-in which the two Houses might get together on the statehood bill. He says there will be a conference between the two houses on the measure but the allusion to short session in this connection is taken to mean that should the caucus tomorrow develop d lack of votes to maintain the House bill the matter of the House action may be postponed until the next session of Congress,

TO KILL PARKHURST
PLOT SAID TO HAVE BEEN INsPIR-
 ED BY POLICE.
Evidence of Alleged Plan for Assas- sination in the Possession of District Attorney Jerome
 of New York.

New York, March 14.--An alleged plot to assassinate Rev. Dr. Charles H Parkhurst, following the recent mu- nfcipaI election in this city, inspired, it is asserted. by police official and in revenge for raids made on certain places by agents of the Society for the Prevention of Crime. known also as the Parkhurst Society, was revealed today when District Attorney Jerome summoned in John Doe proceedings acting Captain John H. Shiels of the West tooth Street Police Station; John Phelan, a plain clothes policeman ana two civilians. Richard Wilson and L. Rogers. A hearing will be held tomor- row before Magistrate Wahle in the Tonnbs Police Court aud the witnesses summoned today will be asked to tell what they know of the alleged plot.
 Rogers. one of the witnesses, and a man named Kelly were employed dur ing the last campaign by the Cltlzens Union. A few days after the elections Rogers told Kelley, 1t is alleged or the plot to murder Dr. Parkhurst. Ac- cordinr to staten ents already made, Rogers said he was approached by policeman and asked if he would take the task of killing pr. Parkhurst.
 It is declared that the policeman said a uoIice official would pay $5O0 TOT the work and Rogers asked Kelly IT ne was willing to go luLO tHc SGhOilS' N
 ing for his part $2O0 while he, hosers' would get the remainder of the sum. It is further alleged that Rogers saw this police official and talked the mat ter over with him at langth but hnally came to the conclusion that he would not resort to murder. T will beat hin" Rogers is a alleged to have said to the official, but I won't kill him
 According to the statements said to he in the possession of the district at torney and counsel for the Society for the Prevention of Crime, the police of- ficiaI insisted that Dr. Parkhurst be put out of the way. Then 1t was thar Rogers became afraid and put the mat ter before Richard Wilson. a 22 year old clerk. It is further alleged that Wilson saw the oficial and had an in- terview with him but that Dr. Park hurst's name was not mentioned.
 What developed after these inter views with the police official has not been learned. At that time Parkhurst was in Europe for his usual summer vacation and did not return to this city until fall.
 After Kelly had learned of the plot, he went to Dr. Parkhurst and repeated all that had been told him. Following this Wilson and Rogers were contin- uaIIy shadowed by detectives.
 As a result of the Parkhurst raids, a police official was dismissed from the force, but later was re-instated.

How the Kings Court Feasted in Calais G astle

How the Kings Court Feasted in Calais Castle
1T was a bright sunshny morning when Nigel
| found himself at last able to leave his turret
chamber and to walk upon the rampant OF the
castle There was a brisk northern wind, heavy
and wet with the salt of the sea- and he felt as he
turned his face it, fresh life and strength surgng
in his blood and bracng his limbs. He took his
hand from Aylward's supporting arm and stood
with his cap off, leaning the rampant and breath
ing in the cool strong air. Far off upon the dis
tant skyline, half hidden by the heave of the
waves was the low white fringe of cliffs which
skrted England Between him and them lay the
broad blue Channel scanned and fecked with
few ships in sight were laboring heavily. NigelS
eyes traversed the widespread view, rejoicing in
the change from the gray wall of his cramped
chamber. Finally they settled upon a strange
object at his very feet.
1t long trumpet-shaped engine OF leather
and iron boted into a rude wooden stand and
fitted with wheels Beside it lay heap of metal
s1ugs and humps of stone. The end of the machine
was raised and pointed the battlement. Be
hind it stood an iron box which Nigel opened 1t
was filled with a black powder, like gritty
charcoal.
