LARGE CROWDS,
In ATTENDANCE
Interest Increases with Each
Service.
WESLEY TENT MEETING
Draw Large Congregations
Over Sunday.
Evangelist E. T. Bowdle of Lima
breaches a Powerful Sermon
Sunday Evening.

The tent meetings being held at the
corner of Wood and Mound streets by
the congregation of Wesley M. Il.
church are attracting large crowds,
the attendance increasing with each
service. Sunday evening the tent was
packed, with more than 100 unable
to gain admission.
The evangelist, Rev. E. T. Bowdle.
of Lima, jreached a powerful sermon
on a text taken from Ephesians 5-19,
reading, BE filled with the Spirit.
In his discourse, he deplored the ex-
istence of worldly affairs in churches
throughout the country. He urged his
hearers to Consecrate themselves to
true christian lives. He spoke in
part as follows;
"The Ephesians. in order to keep
light in the church, became intoxicat-
ed with wine, as did their worldly
friends. The church today should be
exhorted to abstain from becoming
intoxicated with the things Of the
world, such as social, lantern-sllde
shows, lectures on the young man or
the modern woman, or, finding no
comfort in these worldly devices
hitched up with the church, they
turn to fraternal organizations. which
our little cities and villages have
galore. Some church members may
be found in the halls of their differ
ent organizations several nights a
week.
"The Apostle Paul. knowing that
such worldly things could not satisfy
the human soul, exhorted the church
to be filled with the spirit. This is
mandatory. A person has no more
right to refuse being filed with the
spirit than he has to break the
fourth commandment, Remember the
Sabbath Day to keep 1t holy When
the soul is filled with the Spirit, IL
has no taste or desire for any of
these things. There are souls which
have bel converted to God, run we'll
for season, but turn away from the
Spirits call for holy life and then
|go into darkness.
Following the sermon there was an
altar call and a number responded.
One man was converted.
Saturday night, Rev. Mr.. Bowdle
spoke to large congregation on a
text taken from James, 4S. Sunday
morning he spoke at the church on
the text, But of Him are ye in
Christ Jesus, who of God is made un-
to us wisdom and righteousness and
|sanctification and redemption. A
baby was baptised following the
sermon.
Sunday afternoon peoples meeting
was held at the tent with Rev. Mr..
Bowdle in charge.

Twenty Year Lease Secured
Today
KLEINMAIER BROTHERS
Will Move Store Into Busby
Block.
The Marion County Bank will Then
Move Into the Fishe Block as
Contemplated.

A deal was consumated today
which Kleinmaier brothers
secured twenty year lease on the
rooms in the Busby block located
ON West Center street. The lease
will go into effect April l, 1909.
The deal has been hanging fire for
some time. The ID. A, Frank dry
goods firm, which now occupies the
quarters will move into the new
Frank block which is being rapidly
constructed on the opposite corn
er.
The Kleinmaier firm has had an
option on the Busby rooms for some
time and the climax of the deal is
very iportant because it involves
another important change. 1t set
ties definitely that the Marion coun-
ty bank will move its quarters to
the room which will be vacated by
the clothing firm.
The d. A. Frank & Co. firm
holds a lease on the rooms which it
now occupies until the time when
Kleinmaier's lease is dated. How
ever, it is very probable that when
the Frank firm moves to its new
block which change will undoubt-
edly be made in about six months
the unexpired term of the lease will
be bought up by Kleinmaiers and in
this case the changes in location of
two of Marion's greatest business
firms will be made early next
spring.
The Kleinmaier clothing firm will
occupy the three floors of the Bus.
by block. The building will be en-
tirely remodeled and be arranged
in the most convenient style fol
the clothing store. The firm will
more than double the present stock
and the place will be converted into
one of the largest retail clothing
stores in the state.
At a meeting of the directors
of the Marion County bank held
some time ago it was decided tc
lease the room in the Fisher block
However at that time the Kleinmaiel
firm had made no definite provision
for another location and consequent.
ly no prospective plans could be
formulated. The change in location
of these prominent business firms

Washington. Aug. II. Because
japan has refused to accept propo-
,itions laid down by the United
States, all negotiations for treaty
ooking to the exclusion act OF
Japanese laborers are reported, on
rood authority 10 have been sus-
pended.
This situation, it is said, greatly
,xasperates the president, who finds
limself unable to make good the
pledges he gave the Califomlans
,hen they yielded to him by admit
ing japanese children to the white
chools of San Francisco few
months ago.
The Californians yielded because
he president promised not only to
top the coming Of japanese to the
main land of the United States from
he Philippines and Hawaii but
lso to secure modification of the
reaty with Japan, which would al
ow the government to pass a law
orbidding the immigration of lab
rers from Japan direct to the
jnited States.
There is good reason to believe
hat at the time of the excitement
ver the California school ques-
ion the japanese government indi-
ated willingness to allow modifl-
alton of the treaty, which would
er'mit the exclusion of japanese
aborers, as is now done in the
ase OF, the Chinese.
At that time the suggestion was
made tina Japan would consent TO
his arrangement if her government
n return, and for the purpose Of
,aving the pride of her people, was
permitted to exclude American
aborers from Japan. But now it
.ppears that Japan has rejected
vi the overtures Of hits govern
nent looking to the negotiation Of
treaty provision that would permit
aNqlusion, although the United
States has offered inducements far
more substantial than the one
lamed above.
1t is said this government offer
ID in the first place to secure legis-
alton from congress permitting the
naturalization of the japanese now
n this country in consideration of
rn exclusion treaty. This offer
was rejedyed by Japan. This
government went further, and

ROOSEVELT CANNOT
KEEP HIS PLEDGES
Japan Lays Down the Proposition to Exclude Japanese
Laborers From This Country and Demands New
Deal-The Situation Has Become Quite Complicated

agreed to give its consent to a
tariff league between Korea and
Japan under which the products
and manufactures of Japan would
be admitted free of duty to Korea.
This would be an important con-
cessiCm TO the japanese, as it would
place their products and manufac-
lures in a position of great advan-
tage over those of other countries,
including the United States in the
Korean markets.
But this offer was also reiect"'
by the mikado's government which
intimated strongly that, owing to-
the state Of popular feeling in the
Island Empire it did not feel it
could take any steps looking to a
modification of its treaty with us
that would sanction the passage of
an exclusion law by the United
States.
This declaration by the japanese
government made it apparent to the
president that further negotiations
were useless and so matters have
come to, a standstill.
