PASSED BY THE HOUSE.
Bill Requiring Publicity for Campaign
Contributions,

Washington, May 23.-The bill re,
quiring publicity for campaign contri-
buttons was passed by the house by a
vote of 100 to 125 with the Crum-
packer amendment added. The amend
ment would have the effect of reduc-
ing congressional representation in
the Southern states. 1t Is believed
the bill will not pass the senate.
Mr.. Crumpacker explained his
amendments by saying they were de-
signed against fraud and intimidation
in elections. 'They surround the bal
lots In the selection of members OF
the house." he said with sufficient
safeguards to warrant their purity.
He undertook to say, he declared, that
no member of the house would object
to law whose only purpose was to
secure honest elections.
In the opinion of Mr.. Rucker (Mo.)
If anything were wanting to demon
strate to every man in the United
States that the leaders and managers
Of the Republican party in the house
were guilty of deceit and false pre-
tense the bill under discussion sup
piled that want.
'It is horse play" remarked Mr.
Hardwick (Ga). Reduction in repre-
sentation, he said, had no terrors fol
the South. The Republicans, he as
serted, need not deceive themselves on
that proposition. Heavy as is the
price," he exclaimed, unfair and un
Just as we believe 1t would be to ex
act this pound of flesh, yet If the peo
pie of America ever do require 1t they
win find that the South will pay II
for the protection of It's homes and fol
the preservation of its white civiliza
| ton"
Mr. Dalzell (Pa) brought the de
| bate to a close in most vigorous fash
ion. 1t was a notorious fact, he said
| that representation In certain states
and the population had no relation t.
each other.
MIR. Dalzell evoked Republican ap
plause when he produced statistics
showing that the representative from
the First Mississippi district "sits her,
by virtue of 2,563 votes, while the rep
resentative of the First district o
Pennsylvania sits here by virtue o
29,S70 votes"

PANIC IN BIG FACTORY.
Two Persons Killed and Forty-tWc
Injured.

Paris, May 23.-Two persons lost
their lives and forty-two were burned
or otherwise injured as the result of
an explosion in the grinding room of
the Say sugar refinery. The refinery
occupies a big seven-story building
near the Orleans railroad depot.
The force of the explosion was tre-
mendous and blew out portion of
the wall on the Rue Dumois side of
the building and shattered windows
for several blocks. Fire broke out
Immediately and added to the ensuing
panic among the 2,400 employees of
the factory, many of whom are wo-
men. Most of the injured were
crushed in the rush from the building
that followed the explosion. The
flames were extinguished and the in
iured removed to hospitals. 1t is be-
lieyed that a spark from a dynamo
fired and exploded an accumulation of
sugar dust.

MULAl HaFlD ADVANCING.
Will Shortly Occupy the Three Cap
itals of Morocco,

Paris, May 23.-The prospect of the
early entrance into Fee of Mulai Ha.
fid, the usurping sultan of Morocco, a
circumstance that would give him pos
session of the three capitals of Mo-
rocco, Morocco City, Fee and Me-
quinez, compels France reluctantly to
face the possibility of having to rec
ognize him as the legitimate sultan of
the empire. No move to this end yet
has been made. but 1t is realized I'm
official circles that the position of Sui
tan Abdel Aziz is becoming increas-
ingly critical and desperate. Although
Abdel Aziz has retaken Saffi and pre-
sumably has an army marching to re-
take Morocco City the army sent to-
ward Fez under General Bagdani has
been blocked by the Nebi Nassen
tribesmen.

UNDER SHERMAN ACT
Government Begins Suit Against
Big New England Railroad.
ALLEGES MONOPOLY EXISTS

New Haven and Hartford From Ex-
ercising Control Over Boston and
Maine and Various Electric Lines.
Washington, May 23.-With the OBJ
ject of preventing the New York, New
Haven and Hartford Railroad COM
pany from exercising any control over
the Boston and Maine railroad and to
separate the New Haven road from
the extensive trolley system which 1t
has acquired the government, through
United States District Attorney
French, filed in the United States cir
cult court at Boston a petition against
the New York, New Haven and Hart
ford Railroad company and others
charging the existence Of a combina-
tion in restraint of trade and monop-
oily within he meaning of sections l
and 2 of The Sherman antitrust act
The petition alleges that the New
Haven company has acquired control
over approximately 500 out of 600
miles of electric railway in Connec-
ticut, 400 out of 500 in Rhode Island
and about 600 in Massachusetts, which
roads, prior TO such control, were en-
gagged In active competition with the
New Haven company. Also that in ac-
quiring about 35 per cent of the cap
ital stock of the Boston and Maine
railroad it has secured practical con-
troll over that railroad and that by
the acquisition of the electric lines
and this control of the Boston and
Maine it has established a virtual
monopoly Of all of the transportation
facilities by land in the New England
states, the Boston and Albany rail
road being practically the only line OF
any consequence in the New England
states, with the exception of the state
of Vermont, not now under the con
troll, in some form, of the New Haven
company.
The petition relates the history OF
how the New Haven company has
persistently pursued the policy of sup
pressing all competition with 1t until
now, with the exception aforesaid, IL
dominates practically all land trans
portation facilities between anc
among the New England states and
between those states and the rest oi
the United States"
The petition prays that the "com
bination and monopoly be declared {

Nav Corn Drops to rs Cents.

Chicago, May 23.-Rumors that the
Patten deal in corn was ended were
current on the board of trade when
the price of May corn dropped from
i77A cents at the opening to rs. Bro
kers generally were bewildered by
the action of the market, some declar
ing that the Patten forces had allowed
the price to drop in order to shake
out number of small holders. The
action of the railroads in giving orders
to rush corn to this market was also
advanced as one OF the reasons fol
the depres sion.

ment. WEAKNESS demanded It. The retreat
would saiso afford the apostles an opportu-
nifty to report more infinitely TO the Master
the experiences OF their trinl.trlp, two ana

Just returned. So the boat which had been
chartered for Jesus and waited upon Hin
was employed TO put the weary toilers pc

Headwinds probably drove the little barK
near shore and retarded its progress clan,
dtstine as tho departure had been. it-falled
of It's purpose. An ever augfnenting throng
hurried around the head of the lake, and
probably appraised some pilgrim caravans to
the Passover of the coming of the great
Nazarene. So when Jesus boat ran Its Keel
upon the pebbly shore there stood 5000
men. not to mention the women and chill
dten.
So far from being irritated by the failing
of His plans, Jesus heart was touched to
pity, at sight OF the shepherdless flock. and
He began at once TO instruct them In many
phases OF the doctrine of grace. In the alb
sorhng interest OF the theme neither Teach
nor taught observed how the sun was
Dipping TO the western horizon.
But the coTmissary of the apostles sud
denly awoke to the situation. Five regi-

ciples faith, but to which they responded
with phenomenal obtuseness. He proposes to
work what, In some respects, was His most
remarkable and significant miracle.
The material basis of tho miracle was

In his hands the tangible evidence OF this
reality and magnitude of the miracle
wrought.
Even casual reader of the Bible will
hardly fall to note that ST. John has a

which he arranges the facts, miracles and

The twenty-third Psalm has been called

night so dark but that its cheering notes
arc heard. In Eastern lands the comfor,
and safety of tho sheep depend largely upon
the shepherd. his judgment, courage and
love. He must know where pastures are
and how to conduct his flock safely from
ono to another. Jesus. in His wisdom, pow

shepherd. He provides for and defends
those who are His. Between the Syrian
shepherd and his flock an intelligent sym
