MIssoUR1ANs ENTERTAINED.
State Society Listens to Address and
Enjoys Musical Program.

Fifty Missourians were last night shown
a good time at meeting of the society
composed of residents of the state Senator
Warner was the guest of honor and made a
short speech but he said he was not there
either to suffer or infict suffering He was
there, according to his own statement, to
enjoy himself and meet his fellows from
the Ozarks. So he cut the speech short and
left the most of the evening to the younger
members Of the society, who had a musical
program arranged. After the singing and
playing there were refreshments, and the
meeting adjourned before midnight
There was vocal solo by Miss Edith
Stowel, a. recitation. 1.-The Goblins," by
Miss Anita Ofterdinger, and a song of his
own composition by Brother" W. T. Fos-
ter. The song was one of the hits Of the
evening. 1t was quite good lyric with
local references, praise of Missouri as
state and compliments to the memory of
THOMAS Benton, Vest and the other great
men of Missouri The song was clever and
was received with applause.
senator Warner in the course of his adj
dress said he had been thinking of some of
the things he might appropriately say
about the state to Missouri audience but
that the song had covered all of his ideas
SO lully mat he thought he might as we'll
cut out the address altogether. However he
SAID, he thought the state association idea
good one, and he was proud to come
from state that could muster such an
array of strong men and wholesome women
at the national capital. or anywhere else
He referred to the natural resources of
Missouri, the advantageous location of the
state in the heart of the United States and
called attention to the fact that out of the
hrst nine cities In the Union, Missouri could
boast two-St. Louis and Kansas City. He
had been tempted. he said, to put Kansas
City first. There is only one other state in
the Union, he added, that can duplicate this
showing, and that is Pennsylvania, with
Philadelphia and Pittsburg. But PennsyI-
vanla, he said. was one of the original thir-
teen states the keystone state of the
Union. and he was confident the time was
not far OF when Missouri will be recog-
nized as the keystone state of the west.
one of the best of the musical numbers
on the program was a piano solo by Miss
Elizabeth Winston, a member of the soci-
ETY., who Is bat thirteen years old. Her ex-
ecut1on of this and an encore number was
regarded as very good, and 1t is claimed
there are few performers Of twice her age
IN the city that have such remarkable touch
and technique
Refreshments were served after the sing
Ing and speaking, and the proceedings of
the rest OF the evening were Of a social
character.

Debate Question of Child Labor.

Child labor was discussed by the Institute
Debating Club of the Y. NJ. C. A. at its
meeting last evening in the Sir George Will
liams room Of the association building, and
the advocates of it's abolition were given
the decision of the judges.
The question was: Resolved. that child
labor should be abolished" Peter Valaer
and I. ]. Schultz spoke in advocacy of the
proposition. The situation in the south. es-
pecially in the cotton mills, where large
numbers of children are to be found work
ing around machinery, was thoroughly pre-
scented, and the evils of the present system
Of child labor were pointed out, with con-
ditions in the cotton mills as typical ex-
amples. 1t was further stated the compul-
sorry education law of Virginia does not In
clude children over ten years of age
For the negative the constitutional au-
thority of the United States to enact anti
child labor legislation was questioned, ana
II was urged by Robert r. Jennings ana a.
r wagner, who supported that SIDE OF Tue
issue. that such legislation belongs properly
TO the states and not TO the United states.
Another argument used by the negative
was that the economic condition OF the
country today makes the fathers OF families
wage slaves and increases the cost OF living.
SO that chiid-labor legislation at this time
Is undesirable.

VIENNA, March 23.-News was received
10Th Austrian Army Corps, which, is sta
toned in Pennsylvania. has received orders
to mobilize and be ready to march to the
Roumanian frontier. The military authori-
ties here, however, declare they know
nothing of orders to this effect.
The Austrian government is becoming
embarrassed by the increasing number of

from the Roumanian cabinet that every eff
fort possible will be made to suppress the
revolution. This movement has now as
sumed a political and socialstic, as we'll as
an anti-semitic character. The peasants
not only ask for the distribution of land
and laws for the protection Of tenants, but
they demand also the introduction Of uni
versal suffrage in Roumania.
Among the fugitives who arrived today
at Czernswitz is Roumanian deputy named
Parlogenu, whose farm near Horliceni has
been destroyed by peasants. The Jewish
tenant of this farm was fatally wounded,
while his wife and daughters were sub

Much Anxiety at Jassy.
There is increasing anxiety at Jassy re-
garding the possibility of an outbreak on
Sunday. Almost all the Jews of Jassy who
have sufficient means to get away have
fled. Many Jews sold their property at
very low prices. 1t is rumored at JasZ
that the peasants are planning an assault
upon the city. and that they do not fear
the military there. 1t would appear that
during the past two days several thousand
soldiers who were destined to protect
Jassy have been diverted and sent to
other places where the danger is greater.
One of the anti-Semite leaders, a uni
versity professor named Cusa, tomorrow
will address mass meeting of students
at Jassy. The authorities are taking every
precaution to preserve order.

Further reinforcements are being sent into

assigned stations.
According to government reports every
effort has been made to suppress the dis
orders without bloodshed and up to the
present time very few people have been
killed.

Possible Reconciliation of Facts.

But If it is considered, they say, that car
fridge shells fired at Fort Niobara by Com
pany were gathered up there on the fir
ing range and placed in open box, and
then carried with the company to Browns
vile. the apparently impossible act becomes
easily understood. All that was necessary
to complete the trick was to have some of
the cartridges taken from the box by the
proverbially mischievous boy and scattered
in the streets of Brownsville. They would
attract no special attention until they be-
came important as evidence in the shooting
up ARRAY.
The evidence that has been offered con-
corning these shells did not indicate whether
when found they had been fired few hours
or few weeks previously; if indeed, it was
possible to tell the length of time they had
lain in the streets.
Now that this phase of the case has be-
come of Importance, it will be brought out
and placed before the committee in due
time.

Guns Found Locked Up.

The testimony now tends to show that
two OF the guns identified by the experts of
the Springfield armory as the ones from
which the empty shells were fired were
locked In the storehouse of Company B on
the night of August 13. They were found
there by Lieut.. Lawrason and Sergt Nc
Curdy after the shooting up of Brownsville
and on that same night. They were tucked
away beyond the reach of any one under
pile of iron cots and in box tightly
nailed down. Ordinarily 1t would seem, it

get those rifles out of the box, fire them in

there in time for Lieut.. Lawrasoa to find
them as If they had never been disturbed.

form such acts is secuted by senators who
