 An open revolt against the House lead ership has been inaugurated. Representa- tive Townsend of Michigan is the pro moter and he Is strongly seconded by Representative Pete Hepburn of Iowa, always a kicker over the traces.
 There have been revolts and revolts in the House. and invariably they have failed. At the last minute the republican members would get weak-kneed and when the vote was taken would refuse to stand up and be counted.
 This time a petition is being circulated for a republican caucus to consider the plan of legislation laid out by the Presi- dent. A score of names have been signed to the petition and those who are circulat- ing it claim that the necessary 50 votes for calling a caucus will be forthcoming by tomorrow
 Republican members say that they will have to go back and face their eonstit- uents with a do-nothing record, and one against the President. The insurgents be- lieve that they will stand a better chance for reelection by going on record for my policies instead of those of Cam non, Payne and Dalzell.

channels of trade will be allowed.
Such provision would also exempt

years any possible reconsideration OF
the time limit question.
Thus the great law making body Of
the church dissolved without acting
except in committee on two of the
most widely discussed topics before

a change in the discipline on the first
day of the conference.
The failure of the committee on
itinerancy to get the time limit MEM
orial before the main body has been
anticipated for several days, and ap-
parently the leaders of the conference,
holding diverging views themselves,
decided not to try to debate the big

A great deal Of business was rushed

not productive of wide differences of

TO OPPOSE AMERICA
European Cotton Manufacturers Fear
American Monopoly Of Raw Mater
iaI-To Foster Growing in Africa.

Paris, June 2.-Reports to and de-
bates before the fifth international
congress Of cotton spinners and manu-
facturers, which opened in this city
yesterday, all indicate that Europe
stands in great fear of monopoly and
feels the urgent necessity Of freeing
this immense manufacturing industry
from American domination of the price
of raw material, especially when cot
ton Is subject to speculative move
ments. The official French report in
sists that foreign manufacturers have
the right to fair prices in order to
avoid arrangement of the industry
abroad. To remedy this condition the
European delegates advocated, first,
some method to put a stop to improp-
er speculation; second. the fostering
and extension of the production of
cotton in the colonies of Europe, es-
pecially in Africa and Egypt.

"In this state at least 5000 men will

Commissioners Evans, of Chicago, and
DR.. Henry D. Faville, president of the

public schools, that physicians might
have more intelligent cooperation
from the people. Burrell said that the
greatest power for diffusing inforna-

frank with the press, the latter would
be honest in disseminating that knowl-

EYE REVEALS MURDERER.
Photograph Of Victims Lens Show
Features Of Slayer.

6CdIuTO8 Ot f0t0y0ls
Chicago, June 2-Will the eye Of q
; murdered human being photograph its
murderer?
Will the human retina retain the
imprint Of the murderer's countenance
and reflect it after death into the
detectives camera to point the finger
of guilt at an unsupported criminal? !?
Science has said yes and no.
At Alton, ILL.,, where a woman was
murdered, the authorities are prepared
to take issue with the scientists who
have said "No." They have Z
remarkable photograph from the eye
of the slain VICTIM which reveals
clearly the visaage of bearded man
with bald head.
Coroner Streeper Of Alton, applied
the Photographic eye test in the case
of woman whose body was found in
the Mississippi river last Thursday
When the body was recovered 1t was
apparent that death had ensued only
few hours before. There was no
clue to the woman's identity. and every
indication pointed to murder.
Coroner Streeper removed the Crys-s
talline lens of the woman's right eye
and mounted it on a dark background.
When he had completed the task the
photographer was summoned into q
specially prepared room and the eye
lens was exposed to the camera. The
negative of the picture taken was de-.
veloped as speedily as possible, and
both photographer and coroner were
startled at the result.
On the plate they could plainly trace
the miniature face and head Of man.
A print was made soon afterward, and
a. human face, bearded, stood out In
the picture of the eye, Coroner Strepper
supplied detectives with copies of the
photograph and sent them to look for.
a man whose face corresponds with:
the picture taken from the retina &c
the dead woman's eye.
