ASSUMES HIS DUTIES.
New Pastor In Charge Of Ninth
Street Christian Church,

Rev. George A. Miller. formerly of Cow
ington. KY, assumed his duties as pastor
of the Ninth Street Christian Church yes
terday morning, succeeding Rev. E B.
Bagby, who has become pastor Of a church
in Cleveland. Ohio. Mr.. Miller was greeted
by large congregations at both the morning
and evening services.
In the morning he preached from the text
For 1 am persuaded better things Of you
and things that accompany salvation" He
brews vie. He declared that certain re-
suits are sure to follow certain events in
the history of the world, the history Of
church and the history of an Individual. He
pointed out that civilization was advanced
through the signing Of the American Decla-
ration Of Independence, and showed how
the life Of pupil is changed through going
first to kindergarten. then to grammar
schools and finally to college. Entrance
upon business career likewise works
changes Of a character to conform to the
nature of the pursuit, he said:
When salvation comes to an Individual.
Mr.. Miller said, it ought to be followed by
certain changes that will be evidences of
changed heart and life Just as a person
gains conception Of royalty by the trap
pings, or of the prize-fghting ring by the
characteristic Accomplishments, so an ade-
quate idea of what salvation means, in
mans life should be had from the results
1t works. In the Individual. salvation should
bring about unselfish service, love for hu-
mainly and evangelistic zeal.
The speaker closed with a prayer that
such things in the Ninth Street Christian
Church would be so prevalent among the
membership and the pastor that beautiful
fellowship would develop.
Mr.. Miller's subject. In the evening. was

Mr.. Miller was taken slightly Ill yester-
day morning after the IL o'clock service
and was compelled to take to his bed for
a few hours, but his condition was not
earded as cause for asiness. Later in
the afternoon he was very much improved.

permanent. I believe It is the intention Of
the territory to proceed still further in the
same direction, and the experience gained
from this enterprise will be of value. Some
people in Hawaii are inclined to be skepti-
cal as to the permanent success of the ex-
pertinent, and believe that no other class Of
laborers than orientals can be used to adj
vantage In that territory, but I am Of the
opinion that European immigration to Ha-
wall should be encouraged, and, after
thorough investigation. cannot see where
the federal statutes were violated In the
recent incident. It is true that the expense
of the movement was paid from fund SUBJ
scribed by the planters OF Hawaii and that
large per cent Of the immigrants began
work upon the plantations Of the subscrib-
ers Immediately after their arrival. But
I do not consider that violation Of the
contract labor law.
According to the opinion of Mr.. Earl.
the solicitor of the department, Congress
has distinctly authorized states and terri
tories to encourage and assist the tmm1gra-
ton of foreign laborers where such policy
seems to be required by local industrial
conditions and the contract labor laws are
not applicable to official agents Of states or
territories. 1t Is lawful for state to do
what is forbidden to the individual. and,
so far as the prohibition against the tmpor-
tation Of labor through advertisement and
financial assistance Is concerned. states and
territories are expressly excepted.
Fully Within the Law.
eff Mr. Stackable had been acting in his
private capacity or as the agent Of the
Planters Association. almost everything
he did to bring over that shipload of Por-
tuguese would have been unlawful. but the
fact that he was acting as q public servant,
as the representative Of q lawfully organic
ed department of the territorial govern
ment. under the instructions Of the execu-
tive Of that territory. and by direction OF
the legislature brought him fully within the
law. And I may say still further that Mr..
Stackable's plans were submitted to and
approved by the bureau Of immigration be-
fore they were undertaken. Before leaving
Honolulu he was supplied with definite and
particular Information as to exactly how
many families could be placed to advan-
tage upon the sugar plantations and as to
the conditions under which employment
would be furnished them upon their arrival.
These conditions were printed In English
and Portuguese with the approval of the
bureau Of immigration at Washington. and
were entirely within the law"
The policy Of the government, therefore,
will be to encourage the states in seeking
and assisting immigrants so far as the
most liberal construction Of the law Will
permit. .

Prosecuting officers are to have power to

force them to give testimony before grand

Another bill will give the state railroad
commission power absolutely to fix freight

cases OF persistent violation Of the law to
bring proceedings to forfeit the right OF the
company to operate in Indiana.
The Big Four, the Pennsylvania and other
railroads have recently reduced passenger
fares within the state to two and half
cents mile but bills have been prepared
limiting the fare to two cents a mile Gov
Hanly has pledged himself to sign such q
bill.
Very few Of the interurban roads charge
more than two cents a mile, and many Of
them considerably less but bills have been
prepared reducing the fares on all inter-
urbans to one cent a mile. AS these roads
penetrate now to nearly all parts of the
state. there Is greater demand among
farmers for one-cent interurban fare than
for two-cent steam-road fare.
Gov. Hanly will recommend a state in
heritance tax law. and 1t is probable that

The life and fire insurance companies or
ganized under Indiana laws are to come in
for great deal of discussion, with a view
to reducing their premiums, distributing
their surplus limiting the salaries of Of

The governor takes the position that the
officers of such companies are overpaid
and that the maximum salary should not
exceed $4,000 a year.

company the burden of proving in each
case that the fire which destroyed the

although he is a small lad, he put up a
good fight.

lin. In charge Of the detective bureau. re-
ceived information that the anarchists
were becoming unusually busy on the
East Side. holding meetings nearly every

CITY OF PANAMA SAFE.
Consul at Mazatlan Reports Her About
to Land.

CITY OF MEXICO, January IA dis
patch to the Associated Press from Mazat-
LAM timed $40 pm, from United States
Consul Louis Kaleer, says:
"City Of Panama sighted. VIII land in
one hour. Appears all right.
SAN FRANCISCO, January THAT the
Steamer City Of Panama and her ffty-six
passengers and fifty-stx. sailors we're safe
was the belief last night of the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company and many persons in
formed to shipping.
Life RATS of the City of Panama. laden
with water and biscuit. drifted ashore at
Waddell Beach, on the coast north of Santa
Cruz and were Identified by a representative
belonging to that steamer. They caused
serious apprehension that the City of Pana-
ma had foundered at sea. and during the
day conflicting reports were received that
steamer could be seen on the rocks near
Pigeon Point.
The theory is that the life RATS were
washed overheard from the City of Panama
by q high sea. This Is strengthened by the
fact that the steamer encountered strong
gales and heavy seas just after leaving San
Francisco for Panama last Monday after
noon.
The life RATS. which are carried on the
hurricane deck had been unlashed while
in port for inspection by government o.
GERS before the steamers departure. 1t Is
presumed that they had not been relashed
to the deck when the vessel sailed, and
when boarded by seas several hours after
turning south from the Golden Gate the
RATS were easily carried away.
AS to the presence Of water and some
provisions on the RATS, 1t is explained that
the law requires that RATS and lifeboats on
steamers must always have these aboard to
be ready for instant launching.

The Care of the Voice.
From the Home Magazine.

From the Home Magazine.
Culture and character are indicated more
clearly in the human voice than in the
features or the bearing. The ideas ex-
pressed naturally affect our impression,
but the pitch, information and strength of
every utterance convey in a subtle way the
innate spiritual tone and depth of the
speaker. -rs--
Many children destroy the sweeter tones
of their voices by screaming and shouting
too much. 1t is perfectly natural for a
child to wish to make itself heard, and to
have 1t use it's lungs is excellent. But the
vocal cords and delicately adjusted, and any
straining injuries them seriously. Nothing
improves a child's voice as much as sing
ing easily. quietly and sweetly. An imper-
feet ear can be trained by persistent effort.
and even if the child's singing voice is not
perfect. the benefit of its trying to vocalize
pleasantly will be felt In the speaking
voice Neither children nor adults should
sing higher or lower than nature intended
them to. When boys or girls. voice is
changing in pitch they should be advised
not to sing.
The voice should be used sparingly when
one is suffering from cold in the head,
sore throat or weakness after illness. In
such cases muscular action has TO make up
for lack of lung power and energy. The
result is a thickening of the vocal cords
and an added huskiness and harshness
which may not pass away.
