Declares That Government Control
 should De Tiled.

SbGut0 He Tsied.
 WASHINGTON. April 2. - An au- thorized exposition of his views of gov ernment ownership and rate making was givsn in an Interview here by William J. Dryau. Its substance Is as fellows:
 Government control should be tried under tbe most fovoras.e conditions. It should be attempted conscientiously and should exhaust every possibility. It should not be invoked by any one who makes the wish the father of the thought-that control will fail and that ownership eventually must come to pass.
 ITO whenever is intrustcd the task of executing laws for such control. he owes 1t to his nation to throw himself vigorously and with honest endeavor into the movement Control is much more desirable than ownership, and if it will accomplish needed reforms it is the ultimate most to be desired.
 Rates should be based on the value of the properties of the common car riers.'

Sunday.
AFTER THE OFFICIALS
Recommends That Some Pros
ecutiOns Be Commenced.
Ministers Not Sure They Want
to Do That.

Chicago, Nov. 13.-Five hundred
Chicago ministers and church workers
listened yesterday to a suggestion that
the authorities be asked to show cause
why they should not be removed from
office for refusing to close the saloons
of the city on Sunday.
The suggestion was made by Chas.
w. Trickett, assistant attorney general
OF Kansas, the principal speaker at q
meeting held at Handel hall by the
Chicago Law and Order league.
When the mayor OF Chicago says
he Will not enforce the laws of Illi-
nols ne is guilty of treason and nulli-
hcatfon!" said the speaker. "And II
the majority of the people of Chicago
are with him on this, then the city of
chicago is in open rebellion against
the sovereign state of Illinois
"Out where I live there was a mayor
who said the saloons in his town
should not be closed on Sunday. One
morning he woke UP to find himself
aacing the proposition of showing
cause why he should not be prosecut-
ed and removed for malfeasance In Of
nee. He closed the saloons"
You come here and We'll do 1t that
way! shouted the Rev: w. A. Bart
lett from his seat on the stage.
After the meeting Individual MEM
bers OF the audience weren't sure their
enthusiasm for Kansas methods had
mt run away with them.
Fine! Fine! 1t was a glorious ad-
Dress, said one minister "Indict the
authorities? Mm-why. really, you
er-talk to some one else, won't you
You know, 1 can't say anything about
that"
There wasn't any doubt about the
vigor of Mr.. Trickett's address.
"Are we to understand" he said.
that you have officials in this city and
state who have taken the oath of
office with a lie on their lips? If you
have such officials they are guilty OF
But the officials are not the only
ones. Here in Chicago there are laws
against leasing property for certain IL
licit purposes. and yet some of our fore
churchmen-are breaking these LAVISH
Yes! Yes! Shame!'' broke from the
audience. ,,....
Other speakers at the meeting were.
the Rev. p. ]. O'Ca1laghan, pastor Of ST.
Mary's Catholic church; the Rev. Jas.
K. Shields, president of the Illinois
Anti-Saloon league, and DR.. Bartlett,
president of the Chicago Sunday Clos
ing league
At the close of the meeting a resolu-
ton offered by the Rev Melbourne p.
Boynton, urging the raising Of SIS, 900 for
the first years work in the anti-saloon
fight, was adopted.
A delegation headed by Arthur Bur-
rage Farwell called on States Attorney
Healy in the afternoon and asked HIS
co-operati ton in prosecuting violators OF
the Sunday law.
''I, informed the delegation" Mr..
Healy said, that would begin pro-
IN the municipal court against
any violators of laws. but would not
at the present time lumber up the dock
ct of the criminal court with cases
against saloonkeepers. No mention was
made of proceedings against the city
administration"

Lively Times Are Expected in Chinese
Governmental Circles.

New York, Nov. 13.-Serious trou-
BILE in China upon the death Of the
empress dowager is predicted by Sera-
pin Molinatto, chief engineer of the
imperial railway, which has just been
completed between Peking and Han
kow. Mr. Molinatto, who has arrived
here on his way to his home in Italy,
spent seven years in China
Signs of unrest in China are evident
on every hand, he said. There is
strong antagonism to continuance of
the Manchu dynasty after the death of
the dowager empress.
"The people areA,looking to Yuan
Shi-Kai to solve the political ques-
tions which will arise upon the death
of the empress said Mr. Molinatto.
HE is at the head of the military of
China. Although holding office under
the present regime he Is not of the
Tartar race, and is held in great es-
TEEN by the people. He is compare
lively young man and one of the
brightest in China. The people will
look to him, no doubt. as their leader
in bringing about a reform in the gov
ernment of China. The people of Chi
ma are expecting the death of the
dowager empress almost any time
now, and when 1t comes there will be
a great political upheaval, am sure"

KAISER LOOKS PALE.
He Is Entertained at Guild Hall by the
Lord Mayor.

London, Nov. 13.-The emperor and
empress of Germany We're entertained
at luncheon in the Guild hall by Lord
Mayor Bell and the city corporation.
Their majesties drove several miles
through streets brilliantly decorated
with bunting and lined by troops, from
Paddington station, where they arrived
from Windsor, to the city's historic hall
where some 800 persons including MEM
bers of the royal family, peers, COM
moners and naval and military officers,
mostly in uniform formed a brilliant
picture. An address of welcome was
presented to the emperor in a magnifi-
cent gold casket. In reply his majesty
recalled his previous reception at the
Guild hall in 1891, and emphasized his
unalterable desire to foster the peace of
the world. He said:
st said then, this spot. that my
aim Is, above all, the maintenance of
peace. History, venture to hope, will
do me justice in that I have pursued
this aim unswervingly ever since. The
main prop and base for the peace of
the world is the maintenance Of the
good relations between our two coun
tries, and I will further strengthen
them so far as lies in my power. If
the German nations wishes coincide
with mine the future will show bright
prospect"
Emperor William appeared in splend-
i'd spirits, laughing and joking with his
neighbors, but his face was pale, thin
and drawn.

ISIS defense will be that the Peoples
United States bank of which he was
president at the time it was closed by
a government fraud order, was abb
solutely solvent.
The government contends that II
matters not whether any one was de-
frauded If it can be proven that Lewis
originated a scheme, the purpose of
which was to defraud and that it is
wholly fmmaterial whether the bank
was solvent If the conditions named
in his periodicals were not lived up
to in all respects.
The government has about 40 wit
nesses yet to be heard and 1t is said
the defense has a similar number. 1t
is believed the trial will continue full
ly another week.
