GEN. BOOTH IN CHICAGO
Veteran Commander of Sal
walton Army Addresses
Vast Audience.

Chicago, Oct. Forty two persons
from an audience that filled the Audi
torium theater last evening went for
ward in response to the call of General
Booth, commander of the Salvation
army. for sinners who wished to get
saved.
The venerable commander despite his
long days journey from New York the
day before. and despite the fact that
he had addressed two great meetings
In the Colonial theater previously yes
terday, one in the morning and the
other in the afternoon, spoke with a
fervor and spirit that did not in the
least betoken that he had passed three
score and ten mnestones in his life
by more than eight years.
His invitation for sinners TO come
to the front followed sermon in which
he referred to many who had strayed
from the paths of righteousness as Ju-
dases and had dwelt upon money as
the chief root of evil.
AN the world seems to be going
mad with wealth" said General Booth.
The most ignominious and contempt
ible and ruinous slavery to be found
under the sun is slavery to money"
General Paid Great Tribute.
At the afternoon meeting the aged
commander was given a remarka bic
tribute by the large throng that filed
the Colonial theater. Men of all class
es Joined in signifying their approval of
RESOLUTIONS of gratitude to the general
proposed by Luther Latin Mills and
seconded by Harry Pratt Judson. presi-
dent Of the University of Chicago. This
was before the general had dwelt upon
the future OF the army.
THE Salvation army is young as yet"
said General Booth. 1T started only
forty-two years ago. People who ex-
pect wonders OF it must give it a
chance to breathe while. 1t Is young
yet and still crude and unfinished
Many have wondered what would
become of the army when the general
dies. Well, he viii live as long as he
can, and when he dies the same flash
of electricity that carries the message
of his death will have added TO it Long

PRESIDENT IS READY
FOR GREAT BATTLE
Bruin in Deathly Fear of
Rife and Big Stick Re
treats Into Jungle.
PRESIDENT MISSES CHURCH
Veteran Bear Hunter From Texas Is
Added to the Party.-Will
Ride on Ponies.

Stamboul, La. Oct. 7.-When the sun
sets tonight the number of live bears
in the vicinity of President Roosevelt's
camp in these wilds will have been re-
duced and some new notches will be
cut in the barrel of the presidential
rifle.
This is the firm belief of the ex-
cited residents of this place
The only doubt on the subject is that
the bears known to inhabit these for
ests have been appraised of the coming
or the foe, and have concluded to get
beyond the Roosevelt zone.
II this should prove the case the
president will not lack sport. how
ever, for deer are browsing all over
this section regardless of the presence
of visitors, but the disquieting rumor
has gone abroad that many Of them
are dying of the disease known as
black tongue"
The president spent the day quietly
in his camp on Tensas bayou, with the
intention of beginning his hunt early
tomorrow. His party will be aug
mented in the morning by the addi-
ton of a Mr.. Metcalf a friend OF
Messrs. McIlhenny and Parker, who
will escort the negro bear killer, Holt
Collier, who will bring with him
twenty%one of his own dogs There
will be. therefore three professional
hunters In the crowd-Collier, Lilley
and negro named Brutus Jackson.
All have their own dogs.
President Misses Church.
At o'clock yesterday afternoon As
sistant Secretary Latta, who is located
about ten miles from the camp, re-
ported to the press representative here
that he has not received a word from
his chief since he landed in camp but
he added that he was certain that ne
had not attended church. Residents
who heard this statement confirmed 1t,
because there Is, they say no church
for him to attend.
There is quite a canvas village where
the camp is pitched. 1t consists of
seven tents, most of which are occu-
pied as living apartments by the presi-
dent and his party. The president
own tent is a walled structure, about
fifteen feet square. and there is a large
mess tent and also a cooking tent
hoored. The president has been sup
piled with big bay horse by Manager
Shields of the Parker plantations, but
will not use him when on the hunt,
trained ponies being supplied for this
purpose.
Veteran Bear Hunter in Party.
Lilley. who is a professional sports
man, emigrated from this section to
Texas many years ago. but had even
then made so excellent a reputation as
nimrod that it has survived all this
time and was strong enough to cause
him to be sent for and brought all the
way from Texas for the present emerg-
ency. He has, in former days, hunted
all the canebrakes hereabouts and is
said to know every nook and Granny in
them.

ACCEPT BANDITS TERMS
Britons to Meet Raisuli's
Reduced Terms for Mac
Leans Ransom.

Tangier Oct. THE release of Caid
Harry MacLean, who for some time has
been held captive by the bandit, Raisuli.
at last seems to be within measure
able distance.
1t was authoritatively stated yester-
day that the British government had
accepted Raisulfs reduced terms for
MacLean's release, the principal items
being $4,000 ransom and British pro-
lection for Raisun and his family
Great Britain's advance of the ran
som will be guaranteed by Sultan ADD
El-Aziz.
Sir Harry MacLeans brother is now
at Rabat bringing the negotiations
with the sultan to a close.
Capture a Daring Feat.
The capture of General MacLean,
commander of the sultan's bodyguard
and next to him the most powerful man
in Morocco, was the most spectacular
and amazing of all the feats performed
by Raisuh.
The capture was made while the
commander was bearing peace offerings
to the outlaw, in sight of his strong
hold, and was a bold move to force the
sultan into granting many heavy de-
mandS made by the bandit, among them
being that his house at Zinat be re-
built, that he receive an indemnity OF
5000. 600, and that he be granted pardon
from the charges held against him by
the sultan, reappotnted governor OF
Tangier and Fahs, and made COM
mander of police.
Csid Once in British Army.
Up to the time of his capture by the
brigand Caid MacLean was considered
invincible by the persons of the Moroc-
can court. Trained in the British army
he left it to cast his lot with the late
Sultan Moulai Hassen. Going there g
young man. he offered his services as
drill master to the imperial troops
Gradually he worked himself into
the confidence of the ruler and was
given the task of putting the entire
army on a fighting basis. He substi-
tuted modern firearms for the old sever
foot long fiintlocks introduced the use
of uniforms and cannon, and. although
robbing the army of its picturesquenes:
made it into a good fighting machine.
Then the old ruler died, and it wa.
expected that MacLean would leave tn,
service, but he determined to stick b,
the new boy sultan and kept his hole
on the Moroccan government.

Conference for Amendments
Will Begin in New
York Friday.
LARGE BODIES CONCERNED
Demand Growing For Uniform Docu-
ment Covering Shipments
Over All Roads.

New York. Oct 6.-The conference
called to arrange the terms of the
hoped for agreement on certain pro-
posed amendments to the uniform bill
of lading to be authorized by the In
terstate commerce commission will be
held in this city on Oct IL
Should the object of the meeting fail.
it is said that the fight, with the rail-
roads on the one side and the big ship
pers and bankers of the country on tile
other, will be waged to a finish
In this event the interstate com
merce commission will be the court of
last resort, that body having been
given full power under the new rail-
road rate law to prescribe the form of
the new bill. Representatives of all the
leading railroads, many of the promin-
ent bankers and shippers of the coun-
try, and a committee representing a
large number of prominent commercial
bodies have signihed their intention of
taking part in the conference.
All Points to BE Discussed.
All the questions involved in the
various amendments will be discussed,
the avowed purpose of the bankers and
shippers being to induce the railroads
to endorse all the amendments as pro-
posed. If these amendments are
adopted, business men generally con-
tend, they will remedy what are now
regarded as the real dangers of the
law in it's present form, which already
have resulted in bankers in various
sections of the country in refusing TO
loan money on bills of lading as col
lateral
The dangers of the present law, which
it is sought to remove by the adoption
of the proposed amendments, include
according to the supporters of the new
measure, loss now frequently incurred
by merchants paying bill of lading
drafts, by bankers making advances on
bills of lading, and by third parties
giving advances on these instruments
The specially appointed committee
from various commercial bodies which
will attend the conference in support
of the adoption Of the proposed amend
ments, includes representatives from
the New York cotton exchange, the
New York board of trade and trans
portation, the Merchants association
the New York Mercantile exchange, the
National Hay association. the National
Poultry association, and many other or
CARNATIONS. The joint meeting of these
several bodies, which appointed the
committee to attend the New York con-
ference, adopted resolutions demanding
that the responsibility of the railroads
be more clearly defined in the new bill
of lading than it is under the present
law.

COURT INTERPRETS FISH LAW.
Holds That Prohibition of Dynamiting
Covers All Streams and Lakes.

Frankfort. Ind, Oct. 5.-A decision of
the law against killing fish with dyna-
mite, which will be OF general interest
all over the state, was made Friday by
Judge Claybaugh of the circuit court
Joseph Thompson was arrested for
dynamiting a small creek and the ques-
ton was raised by the court that there
was doubt as to just what the phrase
waters OF the state" means, and the
decision was withheld until Judge Clay
baugh made an examination OF the au-
thorities on the question. The point
was whether the phrase meant simply
lakes and larger streams. or all streams
of whatsoever size.
Today Judge Claybaugh decided mat
the law shall cover any and all kinds of
waters. small or large, whether lakes
or streams.

ance-Has Also Formula
for Women.

Chicago, Oct THE Rev Frederick
E. Hopkins Of Pilgrim Congregational
church gave a few pointed suggestions
last night as to what ought to be
done to a man who asked a woman
to drink" 1t embraced the problems
Of what woman ought TO say should
a man ask her to drink"
The Rev. Frank G. Smith. in War
rem Avenue Congregational church, and
the Rev. E. B. Crawford. in Woodlawn
Methodist church. also discussed the
subject Of women drinking.
DIR. Hopkins advocated different
penalties" for different sorts of men
who invite women to drink. Perhaps
he disappointed some of the members
of his audience. He didn't say any
thing about tar and feathers or neck
tie parties.
Four Penalties Are Prescribed.
| The favored penalties were as fol
lows:
| Man who asks a girl to drink in re
! spectacle restaurant-He is no gentle
man and should not be treated as one
Man who is accustomed to having
women drink with him until after

Young would-be sport, but don

he asks a girl to drink with the as
surance that TT won't hurt you" so
ciety ought to rise up and hoist hin

have to sleep standing up for the mex

The women hearers were asked t
remember the following formula
should they ever find themselves con
fronted with the problematical request

1. Say, NO, thanks; I don't drink

More Inspectors Sent to
Canadian Border Japa-
nese Chief Offenders.

Washington. D. c.. Oct. 6.-Immigra-
ton of japanese into America Is in
creasing at so alarming a rate that il
has been determined BY the govern
ment to adopt extraordinary measures
TO prevent the introduction into the
United States not only of Japanese but
Of other Asiatic coolie laborers. One
result Of the trip of Secretary Straus of
the department of commerce and labor
along the Canadian border and the Pa
cific coast has been an increase OF the
force Of immigration inspectors along
the Canadian border.
Official figures OF the immigration of
Japanese into America are not avail
able. because Secretary Straus declines
at this time 10 make them public, but It
is known that more than double the
number Of Japanese have come into the
United States thus far in the year 1907
than came here during the same period
last year.
Naturally the figures OF the govern
ment do not include the hundreds OF
Japanese who have come into the coun-
try surreptitiously. They have come
across the Canadian and Mexican bord-
ers practically without hindrance de-
spite the regulations adopted by the
government to prevent the Introduction
of Japanese laborers.

Negro is Latest Victim
Porch is Wrecked Play
ers Flee in Panic.

Chicago, Oct. 7.-Chicago gamblers
were not allowed a peaceful Sunday.
With the grand jury thunder cloud
vanishing into thin mist on the horizon
and the poolrooms and handbooks pre-
pairing for a gradual resumption of
business, another bomb tore open the
aching wound and cast a new cloud of
dust and conjectures into the eyes of
the puzzled authorities
The victim of bomb No. 13 was the
Needmore club. a negro gambling re-
sort at 500 West Lake street, that long
has enjoyed immunity from police in
reference. Although the attack can
not be traced directly to the war on
the Mont Tennes gambling syndicate, it
is part and parcel of the present cha
otic situation and bears the earmarks
of the same artist that threw the other
twelve sticks of dynamite or bottles
Of nitroglycerine.
The explosion occurred shortly before
o'clock in the morning. It awoke
most of the residents of the neighbor-
mood and sent the policemen on nearby
streets scampering to the spot, but
nothing was discovered. and the mat
ter was not even reported at the West
Lake street police station.
Gamblers Flee in Terror.
Bob" Thomas, proprietor of the
Needmore club, was one Of the persons
disturbed. He was looking after the
pleasure and amusement OF the patrons
of his resort when the bomb vented
its wrath upon his back porch and
getaway" emergency exit of the two
story club building and saloon. The
negro gamblers were thrown into a
manic and rush was made for the
/ door. No damage was done beyond
shattered woodwork and broken win
dows. The same care had been ex-
| hfbited by the bomb thrower that has
/ been shown in all the other mysteries
of the kind.
/ Thomas was arrested late IN the af-
/ ternoon after he had used revolver
1 in an attempt to drive Lyman Atwell,
/ a newspaper photographer, away from
the front of the club building. Atwell
had taken up a position with his
camera across the street from Thomas
place and was preparing TO take pic
ture, when the nego rushed from the
door of the saloon.
