SPEAKS ON SOCIALISM
Bishop F. S. Spaulding Gives Inter
esting Address on History of
Great World Movement.

Bishop +. ). Spalding again filled 81
Paurs church TO the doors with an audi
ence anxious to listen to his third lecture.
1.-THE History of Socialism" The speaker
began by reviewing early sociological
conditions, showing that despite all Chris
tan ideas there was no effort TO do away
with the existing conditions. He led To
the writing of Utopia by Sir Thomas
Moore in which an imaginary island with
an imaginary commonwealth was depict
ed, but from which slaves were not elm
mated.
In conclusion he said: If there is one
thing that all this study teaches US. it is
that for generations men have been Wrest-
ling with these industrial questions and
they are still wrestling with them. IL has
proven that these questions will not down,
but that every honest man and woman
must do what can be done TO see that
government shall be based on the value of
human life. We must realize that society
and the church are not doing what they
can and ought till they make an effort to
help the very poor who first of all need
the help"
Next week the course will take up a
study of Karl Marx and Scientific So
cialism" and the series will conclude a
week later with The Great Cooperative

SENATOR SMITH SEATED

Washington, March 26.-AlthOugh the
senate met today with the intention of
devoting the entire time of the session
to the currency bill, the credentials of
Senator-elect John Walter Smith -
Maryland early became the subject Of
discussion that consumed nearly four
hours and destroyed all hope of dis
posing of the currency bill before ad-
journment today.
The result of the debate on the pro-
priety of swearing in Mr. Smith was a
vote of "a to 20 in favor of receiving
his credentials and leaving the regu-
ldrity of his election to be considered
by the committee on privileges and
elections and by the senate later.
Mr.. Burrows of Michigan, chairman
of the committee on privileges and
elections, objected to the admission Of
the senator-elect on the ground that
the law requires that two Tuesdays
shall intervene between the time no.
tice of a vacancy in the senate is given
and an election. As the late Senator
Whyte died on a Tuesday and his sue
cessOr was chosen on the following
Tuesday. Mr.. Burrows claimed that
the law had not been complied with.
Senator Reyner claimed that the
statute had been complied with: that
to deny his colleague his seat woui1
make necessary an extra session Of the
legislature of Maryland, at a cost of
$4,000, and that even if the contention
of the chairman of the committee ~
privileges and elections should prove
to be correct, Senator Smith should be
sworn in and his case cOnsidereo bv
the proper committee.

DENOUNCED BY
BEALL OF TEXAS
Presidents Action in Whitley
Case the Cause of Caus-
tic Criticism.

Washington. March 26.-In the course
of speech in the house today, Repre-
tentative Beall of Texas denounced the
president on the charge of interfering
with legislation and the operations of
the courts. He declared that in writ
ing a letter to the judiciary committee
in the Whitley case, saying that Will
fey was innocent. the president had in
suited congress, and he declared that
the letter should have been sent back
to the president. He also charged the
president with attempting to direct
the courts, and in this connection spoke
OF the appointment of three members
of the supreme court by the president,
who, said he must necessarily be infiu-
enced by him as the source of their Of
fetal position
Mr.. Beall declared the president was
trust buster and a broncho buster"
the only difference being that he blind
folds the bTOnchO i'm dealing with that
animal, while he blindfOlds himself in
dealing with the trusts. MIR. Beall as
serted that the president had white
washed Paul Morton. He declared that
the president was the Sandow of the
century, holding the senate in one
hand and the house in the other, and
keeping both in the air most of the
time.

PRICE OF MEAT
AGAIN BOOSTED
Alleged Shortage of Livestock
Given as a Reason for
the Lift.

New York, March 26.-Retail prices
of meats of all grades have increased
2 cents a pound within the last week
and before another week has gone by
II is very likely that prices will go
from to 5 cents a pound higher as
result of a strange combination of cir
cumstances which has affected the cat
tie raising industry of this country. In
fact, local packers say that If condl-
tions become much worse it viii be
necessary for the big packers of this
country to import sheep and cattle
from the Argentine republic, England
and Australia.
Persons visiting the butcher shops in
the last week for their customary sup
ply of meat, no matter what it's quail
ty, have found that from to 3 cents
a pound has been added to the price
they paid for beef a week ago. When
they turned to lamb and mutton as a
substitute they found that the price
had increased 2 cents a pound, and
upon asking for the price of pork found
that the heavy demand had increased
that product from l to cents pound
from sausage to loin roast and chops.
When asked for an explanation the only
thing that could be said by the re
taller was that the wholesale price had
been increased from 81 to $3.50 hun
bred pounds, and that the loss to the
dealers in bone and fat was so much
greater in proportion that they felt
compelled TO make the increase larger
than that made by the wholesaler,
whose sales in bulk did not call for
such a proportionate loss.

JEROME UNDER
SEARCHLIGHT
Taking of Evidence Against
District Attorney of New
York.

New York. March 26:-William II.
Tillinghast, the self-confessed bribe-
taking juror in the interests of the
Metropolitan Street Railway company,
was the chief witness at the hearing
which began today on the charges pre-
ferred with the governor against Dis
trict Attorney Jerome. The charges of
neglect of duty were made by COM
mittee of stockholders Of the Metro
politan Street Railway company, head
ed by William F. King. The proceed
ings were before former Chief Justice
Andrews of the court of appeals, who
was appointed by Governor Hughes to
take evidence for and against tie ac-
cused official.
Franklin Pierce appeared as counsel
for the complainant, and Mr.. Jerome
conducted his own defense.
First Charge Taken Up.
The first of the twenty-odd ailega-
tiOns taken up was that accusing Mr.
Jerome of neglect in the prosecution of
the Tillinghast and other cases Of al
leged jury bribing by the Metropolitan
Street Railway company i'm 1900-1992, in
personal injury cases i'm the city courts
and other cases in the supreme court.
charges which we make" said Mr.
Pierce in his opening address. BE
cause he has set up the answer that he
could not have convicted because the
evidence was insufficient. The charge
is that he procured evidence which at
one time could have secured a convic-
ton; that this evidence was put to one
side: that when TiIlinghast went to
Justice Seabury he was at once arrest
ed and sent to the island
Jerome Appeared for the Company.
when William H. TilHnghast adj
mitted that he received $40 from the
Metropolitan in payment for his labor
as a juror from the commencement TO
the end of the whole transaction, Mr..
jerome appeared more i'm the capacity
of attorney for the railroad company,
seeing that indictments were not found.
At the trial he appeared as counsel, it
seems, and began to cross-examine She
witness to show that he was a man of
bad character"
In answer to Mr.. Pierce's questions,
Tillinghast went over in detail his part
in the Metropolitan bribery cases in
which he received money, he said, from
Stanley BOgg and other agents of the
Metropolitan for his services as d
juror He said that he sat as a juror
in perhaps twenty-five cases i'm which
the Metropolitan was a defendant He
voted, he said, in favor of the COM
pany except when ne thought il a wiser
plan that damages against the COM
pany be allowed. For this he received,
he said, from S25 to $50 a week He
was asked but few questions by coun-
sci for the defense when qualifying as
a juror, and was promptly accepted,
witness said. Upon crOss-examination
Tillinghast admitted that he had served
two prison sentences.
