GIBBONS DENOUNCES
 SALACIOUS PAPERS
MANY OF YOUTH OF BOTH SEXES, SAYS THE CARDINAL, THUS LEARN LESSONS IN HUMAN DE. PRAVITY.

Baltimore, Md, March 3.-Cardinal Gib- bons today in sermon denounced "Salacious' journals and newspapers printing objectionable advertisements Taking as his subject. spiritual read ing" he said:
 Never admit into your homes any newspaper or periodical which Ventilates obscene news. and licentious scandals
 There is one kind of literature in which we all indulge, and of which we partake as regularly, and with us much relish as our daily bread. without which life would be dull and tedious-a literature which has become almost q necessity or ou rdaily life. l refer to the daily news paper. Now there are good and bad jour nals, as there are clean and uncleAn ami mals.
 No kind of literature works more mis- chief in community than salacious journals. They contain not only news matter, but also advertisements of d most objectionable character
 Many of the youth of both sexes have learned from this impure foundation their first lessons in the dark mysteries of human deprayity. Advertisements which paint iH glowing colors the attractive features of dangerous haunts Of amuse- 
 cines and other drugs whose object is to defeat the inexorabie laws of natdrG and God. What q terrible responsibility those publishers assume wl.o admit iDta their papers such poisep. For every soul perverted they have strict account to render 10 God, and society.
 You would not permit vial of poison 10 remain on your mantlepiece lest 1t might fall into the hands of some member of your household. And will you allow to lie on your table an unclean journal which would nstill the poison of sin into the soul?
 You are careful to avoid any dish which you know from experience would nauseate your stomach. no matter hove tempting and paiatable if may be to the taste. Why then should you not dis regard those highly seasoned novels which may De agreeable to morbid appetite but which defle the imagination and enfeeble the soul?'

 RUSSIA'S BARBARISM
REPRESENTATIVE BENNETT OF NEW YORK PRESENTS PETITION SIGNED BY DISTINGUISHED LIST OF AMERICANS.

Washington, March 3-In connection with the establishment of immigrant sta tions at Galveston, New Orleans and Charleston, S. C., MT. Bennett of New York presented in the House today a petition signed by distinguished list of American citizens calling upon the Congress of the United States to protest against the perverted use of govern mental functions of which the Russian people are the victims"
 The protest recites a list of atrocities asserted to be practiced by the Rus sian government in its prolonged war fare against it's own people,
 The arraignment of the Russian govern ment follows:
 l. Thousands of men and women are dragged from their homes solely at the discretion or pleasure of local military or police authorities, placed in remote set dement's. and semi-savages close to and within the Polar circle, where the most loathsome diseases are chronicaily epi- demc
 T uospitals are deliberately fired upon by the regular troops without rebuke.
 2 The Red Cross Is not respected and the wounded are frequently slaug htered or thrown into the sea, or buried alive with the dead
 f. Women, children, aged ana decreplt men are maimed and killed by sword slashings torn by bayonets and tramped under hoofs of horses.
 5 Girls and young women or distrlcts under military protection are repeatedly given oyer to violation by officers, as well as ordinary soldiers
 Tortnres are applied to prisoners within fortresses and prisons to elicit in- formation.

Tho house put this section in after a hard and somewhat bitter fight, the provision being that all mill property upon which exemptions expired February E. the end of the ten year term should be taxed this year. The senate took this out and the conference committee sustains it.

 Results of Hague Confrence.

Vienna, March 3.-Professor DeMartens, Russian imperial counciler of state. in an interview today on the subject of Sir Hem ry Campbell Bannermans article in The Nation Oh the question of limitation of armamcnts at the approaching peece con ference at The Hague, said he did not beliey. that the discussion of the limita- tlog If armaments would have practical results, because. under existing condl- lions, 1t would be impossible tO obtain q unanimous vote and the conference did not recognize the principal of deceding a question by majority vote. Neverthe- less Great Britain's initiative, he said, should be welcomed as q valuable prece dent for future conference, experience having shown that the coming conference would be in position to carry through questions which the first conference had discussed only informally.

SPEAKER MARTIN
 DIES ATCAPZTAL
Pneumonia Follows Attack of Grp-Funeral Will be Held in Montgomery Tomorrow-Legislature Will Meet as Usual Today-Many Pay Tribute
 To Deceased

Montgomery, March -(Special)-Wil- Han L. Martin, speaker of the house of representatives, died at 1O:4O o'clock to- pneumonia, following an attack of grip. He was in his fifty-seventh year and was porn in Madison county. He leaves a wife and six children, two sons and four daughters. His eldest son, Thomas, is as sistant attorney general, and one of the best known young lawyers in the state.
 Speaker Martin could not get to the capital last Monday, the report being that he had an attack which might run into pneumonia. Later in the day it was re- ported that he had pneumonia, and from then on his condition has been growing worse. This morning his physicians began administering oxygen, but no power could stay the hand of death in it's ruthless onslaught upon his vitality.
 When it was discovered, late this after noon, that the end was only few hours off, the governor and other leading of ficers of the state went out to the house to pay respects and make inquiry. Gov ernor Conner expressed the greatest con- eern and looked upon the death of the speaker as the loss of one of the strongest men of the state. He paid high tribute to his worth and honorable character to- night. mourning not only with the family but the entire state over the loss of one so thoroughly representative of it's high est citizenship and long identified with it's best interests.
 He was the choice of the governor for speaker. and led many of the administra- tive movements to victory on the floor. Loyal and vigorous to a marked degree, he was generous to foe as well as true to friend. This was amply proven when he selected the house committees, many be- ing honored by him who had not been his political friends.
 Lieutenant Governor Gray and Speaker Pro Fem Carmichael added their words of love and appreciation to those of the chief executive Governor Gray said: Ala bama has lost a man in every respect: a character that stood for high ideals and Christian service. No man could have been more the ideal citizen than the speaker who mas passed away tonight V

PENSION FOR MRS.
 STONEWALL JACKSON
President Had Nothing to do With 1t. Webb of North Carolina Got Bill
 Through.

Washington. March 3.-(Special.)-Ihc administration papers are printing a story to the effect that President Roose- welt interested himself in the matter Of the pension for Mrs. Stonewall Jackson. Of course the assumption that President Roosevelt took hand in this undertaking formed a basis for a very fine human in- terest story. but a matter of fact MT. Roosevelt did nothing of the kind. The truth is Mir. Webb of North Carolina had very little help from any source after the bill had been brought over from the Sem ate. where 1t was passed at the instance of Senator Overman, and 1t took q long, hard pull to get 1t through.
 The effort to convince the chairman of the pension committee and others that any real necessity existed for the passage of the bill was attended with much diff fculty

 "The senator knows I cannot was the reply.
 well, continued Mir. Carmack, ''the senator is evidently much more con- cerned about the defeat of this bill than anything else
 MT. Carmack then declined to yield fur- ther to MT. Frye. although the latter at tempted to interrupt.
 shortly after this the incident was closed by the restoration of amity.
 Senator Carmack expressed regret that the incident had occurred. He had spoken, he said. on the impulse of the moment, and withdrew what had been said Sen ator Frye. too, expressed the same senti- mcnt. and explained that he had not meant to address the senator from Ten nessee personally in his criticism
 At 5;3O D. m.. the Senate took recess until S:30 o'clock.
 The filibuster against the ship subsidy bill was continued when the Senate -re- sumed it's session at S:30 tonight. Sena- tors Dubois and Carmack made an appeal to Senator Gallngsr to withdraw the bill hut he did not comply with the request.

 "That,s a horse on the democratic side
 The sally aroused the venerable Senator Pettus. who remarked:
 I've accept the rebuke from the senas tor from Montana. because of his wisdom and long experience. and do not fail td rccollect that he has the record for speak ing more than twenty hours to kill a river and harbor bill"

 There Is some difference of opinion with regard to what the legislature will do to- morrow. It is understood that Governor Conner, Leutena1 Governor Gray and Speaker Pro TexA rmichael are of the opinion that 1t AVS. proper to attend to business as W.0aS ,ening at the time set. As soon as t.sSS .sial notice of the death is made tt. houses may agree on resolutionl .ttees and adjourn for the funeral TOO which will be attended in a body <S that there could be q re- reces' Q E on. and then adjournment. Liey Governor Gray said at mid nig t such a course seemed to him tf under the circumstances. He did not. ow of any precedent to follow, this being unique situation in the history of the state.
 No arrangements can be made for the funeral tonight. It will be held here Tuesday.
 W. l.. Abell, son-in-law of the deceased, from Milwaukee and w. l.. Martin. Jr.. his son. will arrive tonight, the latter
 
 Though a native of Madison county, the deceased went to the office of attorney general from Jackson, in which office he served five years.
 The death of Speaker Martin will prob ably result in the selection of A. H. Car michael, now acting, as the permanent presiding officer of the house. He was elected to serve temporarily without op- position, and was sworn in by MT. John of Jefferson. the right hand man of the dead speaker.
 Another result of the death of the speaker will be new line upon the code commission. The new speaker will be guided by the known wishes of the de- ceased. and the selection will be John, Carmichael, Foster, Maner. with Steagall or King as the fifth. MT Ma~tin was to have been member by authority of the act.
 Following the wishes of the deceased, tie municipal code commission will no doubt be Gunter, Cranford, Urquhart. Sherrod, with Powell or Norvlle the fifth man.
 The senate code men will be Lusl<. Mer- ritt and Gardner, and for the municipal code Overton and Gum.
