posed hearing. He spoke in detail of the
manner in which he had introduced the
measure in the House. and of the wonder
ment with which its author was pointed

IN CANADIAN ROCKIES
ILLUSTRATED LECTURE BEFORE
NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC SOCIETY

Camping Expeditions in the Canadian
Rockies was the subject of lecture given
by Mr. Howard Du Bots before the mem
bers of the National Geographic Society
and their friends at the National Rifles
Armory last night. The lecture pro-
fusely illustrated with stereopticon and
motion pictures.
The lecture covered a wide scope. Mr..
Du Bots began his narrative by the board
ing of train at Montreal. Canada, and
then taking up the travel by pack horses
in the interior of British Columbia. His ex-
petition was not of research. but
simply that of tourist. with a love for
the wilds and the rugged trails and pas
sages seldom frequented by man or beast.
He said that it is generally supposed that
this great northern territory is one contin-
ually covered with ice. and with a climate
resembling that of the polar regions. but,
as matter of fact. although there is much
snow and ice, especially on the high peaks
and in the pateaus of the Rocky noun
talnS, there are many sections where green
is as prominent and the atmosphere as
mild as in the more southern localities.
This popularity in the climate. the lee
turer explained. is due to the winds in that
section. The climate in certain localities
is so modified by the winds that the lands
are made fertile and all forms of agricul-
ture are made possible often in the winter
time, particularly wheat growing. Eegeta-
ton is greatly aided by the long twilights.
and the various products grow very rap
idly. much more than in the more south
ern and natural localities He stated that
extensive mining and railroad operations
and projects are under way in the Yukon
territory, Alaska; British Columbia and
the other northern regions.
The Grand Trunk railroad already runs
from the Atlantic to. the Pacific. and others
are now in course of construction: and he
predicted that this section will become more
active in mining and railroading as the
years go by.
Some of the features of his lecture were
the pictures of herds of buffaloes and eiks
on the plains and in the mountains; ava
lanches of ice sliding from mountain sides.
several thousand feet in the air; horses
swimming swiftly flowing rivers, rafting,
salmon fishing, mountain goat and sheep
hunting. logging and hazardous mountain
climbing, such is portrayed by the pic
lures of the Swiss Alps.

LABOR FOR MARYLAND.
State Will Probably Bring Immi-
grants From Northern Europe.

BALTIMORE, Md, January 19.-Mr. A.
F. Trappe secretary of the state bureau Of
immigration, with the concurrence of Mr..
w. T. Turpin, superintendent of the bureau.
went to Washington yesterday by invita-
ton of Secretary Straus of the Department
of Commerce and Labor, with a view Of
formulating some plan under which Mary
land can engage in the importation of nec-
essary farm and domestic labor.
Mr.. Straus, however, was called away to
New York. and Mr.. Trappe was turned over
to Commissioner General of immigration
F. P. Sargent Mr.. Trappe gave him a de-
tailed statement of the plan and submitted
to him a copy of the laws of Maryland gov
erning the subject.
The commissioner told the secretary that
states rights should prevail far Mary
land Is concerned on this subject, as well
as in the other southern states that have
recently been bringing in people to do farm
and domestic labor. The proposition, 1t is
understood. will be made to Governor War
field to send, through the state bureau OF
immigration, an agent from Baltimore to
European countries to solicit immigrants
The state will have to obligate itself
have other states, to take care of these i'm
migrants in order that they shall not be-
come public charges upon their arrival.
There seems to be an impression growing
out of experiences in Maryland that the
best class of farm as well of domestic
help usually comes from Ireland, SwitZer-
land. Holland. Denmark and the northern
section of Germany. The question of in
creased supply of labor is not confined TO
the farming sections. not for domestic pur-
poses, but there seems to be great de-
mand for hands in factories and other in
dustries. 1t is with view of securing this
labor for the state that the subject has
been taken up by the governor and the
bureau Of immigration. The indications are
that the plans will be worked out today
at conference in the governors office.
1t IS believed the expense for bringing
these immigrants. including their passage,
will fall upon the state. The appropriation
for the bureau of immigration has not been
as large the work of that bureau de-
mands and II Is thus necessarily hampered
to large degree by the lack of funds, but
it is believed that with strict economy a
sufficient amount can be set aside to meet
these expenses in making at least a start.
If after the first arrival, il is found that
the demand is great as II is said to be
for such help. additional means will be-
placed at the bureaus disposal to further
the enterprise.

Proposed Bill Expected to Start a Big
Fight in New JERSEY.

TRENTON. N. j., January l9-SaIoon-
keepers and brewers all over the state are
very much interested in bill that is ex-
pected to be presented to the senate, and
which calls for the opening of saloons on
Sunday between the hours of 1 and o'clock
in the afternoon to do business. 1t is ex-
pected that this bill will be met with great
opposition by ministers, but the saloon
keepers hope to see it pass and become
a law. The movement for the passage of
this bill was started by the representatives
from Hudson and Essex counties.
bill was offered the other day calling
for the repeal of the Bishops bill, but it
met with so much opposition that the plan
of keeping open for four hours on Sunday
afternoon was substituted. Many of the
features of the present Bishops bill will De
kept in the new bill. such as the abolition
of the back room and curtains pulled aside
during prohibited hours. but that part of
the bill making the landlord liable ior the
disorderly conduct Of the tenant to be

PASTOR WORKS IN FOUNDRY.
Women Not Permitted to Raise Salary
by Holding Fairs.

PITTSFIELD, Mass, January 19.-Rather
than have the women Of his church hold
fairs and give suppers to pay his salary,
the Rev. Earl c. Davis, pastor Of the Uni
tartan Church, began work yesterday in
the foundry of the. Stanley Electric Com
pany at a salary of SIS week.
Mr. Davis was graduated from Bowdoin
College in 1897 and afterward attended
Harvard Divinity School. He became pas
tor of the Unitarian Church in 1903
The church, though increasing in
strength, has found the pastors salary of
81 100 a year far beyond it's resources, and
in order to pay 1t the women of the church
have resorted to various forms of enter
tainment aimed to draw patronage from
those who do not attend the church.
Indictment weather reduced the profits to
so small a sum that Mr.. Davis decided that
it was un-Chrstian to accept money OBJ
tanned at so great a sacrifice on the part
of the women of his parish.
At Il special meeting of the church last
evening the Rev. Mr.. Davis explained his
plans and received the permission of the
society to carry them out.
Mr.. Davis is of sturdy physique and says
that he is not afraid to use his hands. He
also asserts that his work in the foundry
Will not detract from his spiritual labors

BAILEY GAINS A POINT.
Texas Legislature Will Ballot for
Senator Before Investigation is Made.

AUSTIN, Tex, January Ex-senator J..
w. Bailey will be investigated by both the
house and the senate.
The house last evening adopted. Is to So,
the substitute resolution, after 1t had been
amended to provide that the committee
shall have authority to send two of the
members outside of the state to take testi-
mony.
Both committees will begin work next
Monday. The effort of the anti-Bailey men,
bers to postpone the balloting for senator
until after the investigation has proved
futile The majority report of the joint
committee to arrange the hour for ballot
ing was adopted. The two houses will vote
next Tuesday, and on Wednesday they
will meet in joint session and begin bal
loting.
The Bailey men and Senator Bailey him
self are now more sangune than ever that
he will be reelected on the first ballot.
The anti-Bailey contingent say that more
than seventy members of the house will
cast blank ballots, thus postponng the
election from day to day until the investi-
cation Is concluded. If. the charges against
Bailey are not sustained there is no ques-
ton of his reelection by an overwhelming
majority. There number of legisla-
tors favorable to Bailey who insist on an
investigation before they vote for him.

Woman Discusses Race Question.

Mrs. Annie Riley Hale Of Rogersville,
Tenn, writer on the race problem, ad-
dressed the Mississippi Society on that sub
ject at Confederate Veterans Hall last
evening. Mrs. Hale suggested that societies
be formed throughout the south for raising
funds to deport negroes from that section to
the north, furnishing free transportation
upon the promise of those deported to re-
main in the north one year at least She
admitted that the south needed negro labor
but questioned If it is getting 1t.
The latest statistics show" she declared
that only three-tenths of the labor per-
formed on southern farms is done by negro
workmen. When the negroes begin to go
north then let the south offer Inducements
to foreigners, who will jump at the chance
to come to this country and will fill the
negro's place much better than he himself
can fill 1t"
