made up, as Mr.. Ellis tells US, of the very

MEN OF CHURCHES
URGED TO ORGANIZE

The Young Mems Congregational Union OF
Chicago has taken the initiative in a move
ment for the organizing of Congregational
brotherhood which shall include In its MEM
bership the men of all Congregational
churches in America: committee of the
Chicago organization, having been charged
with the investigation of conditions in the
denominations. has decided that "suff1clent
interest has been manifested throughout the
churches of the country to make national
organization advisable. The committee has
issued a petition to the National Council OF
Congregational Churches, which meets In
Cleveland Ohio, next fall, asking council,
first TO issue call for a convention OF
Congregational men for the purpose OF Or
ganizing a brotherhood to include all men,
organizations now existing or hereafter to
be formed in connection with the Congre-
gational churches of the United States, and,
second, to appoint committee representing
different sections of the country to arrange
for the convention and to arouse the
churches to united action in promoting and
perfecting the brotherhood. State associa-

tons, Congregational clubs and other bodies
are requested to discuss the matter in the
meantime
There is a similar movement among
Baptist men, and there met, few weeks
ago. at Worcester, Mass, a number of
representative Baptists Of New England,
who decided to send memorial to the
coming general convention of Baptists OF
North America, which is to meet in James
town, Va, this month, asking its approval
of Baptist brotherhood, to be organized
along similar lines to those proposed for
Congregational men, and 1t is considered
probable that constitution for the Baptist
organization will be suggested at the gener-
al convention.
The two organizations for men in the
Methodist Episcopal Church, the Wesley
and the St Paul brotherhoods, are begin
ming to realize that added strength might
come from their union, and a movement is
now under way with that object in view.
The Brotherhood of st, Paul has already
put itself on record, by action at it's recent
convention in Columbus. Ohio, as hoping to
see a union with the Wesley Brotherhood
brought about There has not been time
for official action by the latter Organization,
but Methodist leaders look to see the merg-
ing of the two organizations.

Claims of the Young Mems Christian AS
ISOLATION as to adaptability to varied condi-
lions and needs meet a strong test in the de-
velopment of the organiza ton in the Pan
anna canal zone. The fact that in the zone
practically everything is owned and con-
trolled by the United States government
gives the association a peculiar relation to
the government. The fact that the associ-
alton is the main channel through which
the government Is spending money to pro-
mote the club life and recreation of it's en-
ployes in the zone makes it necessary for
the association to assume certain obliga-
tons of the government toward the men in
addition to its own natural obligations
The isthmian canal commission, under
Chairman Shonts. originally planned to
construct and furnish houses for local clubs
but later, upon the recommendation Of
President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft,
the international committee of Young Men s
Christian Associations was asked to fur
nlsh supervision for extensive club work
and to operate an equipment provided by
the commission. Along with the commit
tees acceptance of this charge went a
notable expansion Of the whole work. The
needs of the men are now better under
stood. and the commission has constructed
clubhouses of more than four times the
size and cost Of those originally planned.
-
In undertaking this work the associa ton
tackled problem that was the source of
much concern to the commission. Uncle
Sam knew his workmen needed recreation
and social centers, but he didn't know just
how to give them such blessings. So he
was glad enough to find an organiza ton
that did.
The clubhouse at Empire opened May 1.
Houses Of the same size and style are To-
Gated at Culebra. Gorgona and Cristobal,
and these four buildings are being opened
this month for the use Of the men. The
main structure of each IL 1873 feet by Al
feet including verandas on all sides. The
annex Is 90 feet inches by % feet, with
out verandas. The buildings are the best
constructed and the most beautiful on the
zone, with the exception of the Hotel IT,
voM. Similar buildings have been author
lied at four other leading towns
The work to be done will be an all-round
association type, with special emphasis on
the social, and with liberal use Of various
kinds of platform talent that will furnish
diversion and relaxation. Libraries suited
to the requirements of men have just been
ordered to be installed by the canal COM
mission The need of this is great. not
only because Of lack of other diversions.
but because of the monotony of life on the
isthmus.

vigorous type of work that will help them
to maintain the moral standard of living
to which they have been accustomed in the
states. Such a type of work to be con-
Quoted by the association was In the minds
of the commission when II expressed
its confidence that the money invested
in association equipment would not only
be profitable to them in a business way, but
would also be a means of meeting their
obligations for the moral standard of their
employees. The entire association enter
prise will be conducted on broad basis,
and will aim to be OF some practical benefit
to every American.
Aside from the representative of the in
ternational committee of the Young Mems
Christian Association who has been on the
zone for the past ten months, four secre-
taries of special training and large ex-
pericnce have already gone to the isthmus,
and are in charge of the four buildings
above mentioned. These secretaries will
be assisted by commission employees, who
volunteer to act as librarians. social secre-
tares, gymnasium instructors and game
experts.
In an enterprise so mammoth as the con-
struction Of the Panama canal 1t is neces-
sary for every one to exercise unusual
patience. No exception has been expe-y
rienced in the preliminary work of tho
association, and yet 1t is remarked by
many that no other feature relating to tho
canal construction has been favored by
more rapid progress. If such is the case
1t Is due to John F. Stevens. former chief
engineer. who took a strong personal in
terest In securing good clubhouse equip
ment as speedily as possible. Employees
enjoying the privileges of these association
clubhouses will think the more often of
Mr.. Stevens who has said that he could
leave no other monuments on the isthmus
in which he would feel more pride. Canal
officials and employees generally have given
hearty support to the association enter
prise.
This plan for the welfare of the govern
ment employees is recognized as co-opera-
tive on the part of the canal commission
and the, Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton. Col. George w. Cocktails, chairman
and chief engineer Of the newly appointed
commission. gives hearty assurance that
the government will do its full share. In
dividual members of the commission have
expressed their. interest in the work, and
on inspection OF one Of the clubhouses
Major Gailard remarked that 1t was one
Of the best things that he had seen on the
isthmus. Col. w. c. Gorgas. chief sani-
tary officer and member of the commission,
has been invaluable to the undertaking
from its very beginning.

21a CENT RATE.

Likely to BE Compromise Of Mime
sofa SOlOns With Lawmakers.
Associated Press to The Evening Times.
St. Paul. March 26.-In the dis
cussion in both houses of the legisla-
ture on the authority to be conferred
on the conference committee which
will have under consideration the
plan of arbitration of railroad passen-
ger and commodity rates between the
state and railroads, the full terms of
the proposed arbitration were made
public in both houses today. 1t en-
braces a two and half cent passen-
ger rate, two-cent round trip unlimit-
ed as to time. and 500 mile family
ticket unlimited, and 1000 mile ticket
both interchangeable and redeemable
at the rate of 2 cents per mile. The
railroads agree to a commodity freight
rate at 2-3 OF the rate ordered by the
state railroad commission, and agree
to submit to supervision as to rates
to the state railroad commission. All
suits now pending against the rail-
roads to enforce rates are to be dis
missed.
1t is quite likely this compromise
will be accepted, as many radical two
cent fare advocates in legislature seem
to be in favor of this plan.

Opens in Virginia City
Month From Today.

Norfolk. Va, March 26.-With the
opening of the jamestown Ter-Cen-
tennial exposition set for just one
month from today, the management
has gigantic task ahead of it in
getting the great fair ready for it's
inaugural. While wonders have been
accomplished in the last few weeks,
much remains to be done before the
show grounds present the completed
picture planned by the designers. Now
the exposition is a diamond in the
rough, awaiting the magic finishing
touches of the artists before being
transformed into a beautiful fairyland.
Despite the short time allotted, the
managers are confident that the work
will be completed in time and. that it
will be a finished product that will
greet the eyes of spectators when the
gates of the exposition swing open on
April 26.
The president will open the expo
sition on the grounds, instead of by
telegraph, as at other fairs. Norfolk
is but half day by boat from Wash
ington, and President Roosevelt has
promised to appear in person on the
opening day, even If affairs of state
should be go pressing as to demand
his immediate return after few
hours on the grounds. Later he will
make another visit to the exposition,

Well Known and Respected
Denhoff Man Arrested on
a Serious Charge.

Denhoff, March 26.-Nick HUFF, we'll
known in this vicinity, was arrested
by Deputy Dan Jones at his home
stead near Henry Hellmann's place
yesterday. Huff is charged with horse
stealing and the alleged facts are as
follows: In June. 1906, three horses
belonging to Emil Marohl and Gust
Giese, who live north of Denhoff, dis
appeared. Several weeks passed when
these parties were notified that their
horses were in the possession of a
Hveryman at Portal. on the Canada
line. march, and Giese went to Por-
tai and identified the animals and on
investigation it was found that the
horses had been shipped from Velva,
but on arriving at Portal there was
no one to receive them. The agent at
that place kept the horses for sew
eral days and then turned them over
to the liveryman who after inquiring
found the proper owners. The agent
at Velva, so it is alleged, says that
Nick HUFF is the person who billed
the horses out.
Huff has resided for several years
in this part Of the county and proved
up on his homestead last summer.
This winter he was one of the party
that went to Cuba where he purchased
land and was to have moved to his
new home in about two weeks. He
has always borne good reputation
in Denhoff, and his arrest was great
surprise to everyone here.

although portions of the great inter-

inundation. The locks south of Sac
ramento broke last night and the resi-
dents of the flooded district are re-
ported to be in danger. A relief party
has been sent to their rescue.
The flood waters from the San Joa-
quin river have receded from Stockton
but in the vicinity of Stockton and
Sacramento many river islands are
under water. Valuable crops have
been destroyed and there has been
much loss of stock. The losses to the
island owners in the vicinity of An

aggregate millions of dollars.
The Mount Hamilton range near
San Jose and the Santa Crux noun
tains are covered with snow and there
was also a slight fall of snow today
on the hills back of Berkeley.
The damage in the Santa Clara val
ley by the storm to roads and bridges
is heavy, and the fruit crop probably
will not exceed so per cent of the

FINAL CONFERENCE.
Between Railway Managers and Men
Who Voted to Strike is on Today

In Chicago.
Associated Press to Tho Evening Times.
Chicago, March 26.-The general
managers of western railroads and
representatives OF the Brotherhood Of
Railway Trainmen and the Order of
Railway Conductors commenced today
what promises to be the final con-
ference regarding the demands for an
increase of pay. and working day
of nine hours.
For several weeks the men belong
ing to the two organizations have been
voting on the question Of striking If
their demands are not complied with,
and although the vote was not an
nounced today, prior to the commence
ment of the conference. 1t is under
stood to be overwhelmingly in favor
of strike, If such step should be-
come necessary. The general man
ayers have informed the men that
they are prepared to offer ten per
cent increase in wages, but cannot
grant the demand for nine hour day.
Before the conference commenced
today, both sides expressed rosy
view of what would appear to an out
slider to he blue situation. The men
insisted that there would be no strike,
because the general managers would
concede the demands that have been
made on them. and the general man.
ayers said that there would be no
strike. because the men would abate
their demands and would accept the
offer Of the railroads.
