Charlemagne Tower at Berlin, Is
Heartily Greeted by Kaiser
Wilhelm

BERLIN, June 14.-The emperor to-
day received in audience the new
American ambassador to Germany Dr.
David Jayne Hill, who succeeded
Charlemagne Tower.
The audience was fixed several days
before DIR. Hill anticipated 1t, but the
emperor's greeting was none the less
hearty.
The emperor's master of ceremonies,
Baron Won de Knesebeck, called at the
hotel yesterday where Dr. Hill was
stopping and informed him that an
audience with the emperor had been
granted for today in the old palace. his
majesty coming in from Potsdam for

called for DIR. Hill today, and accompa-
MED by his staff he proceeded to the

In the garden which recently was
planted in one of the palace courts.

showing his most charming social
qualities.

VANDAL DESPOILS
SACRED OBJECTS
CHURCH ENTERED; FURNISH
INGS DESTROYED
BIBLES CUT BY THIEF; REVENGE
APPARENT MOTIVE
Cushions Damaged, Ink Spilled on
Floor and Covering of Pulpit
Pulled from Place--Ruild-
ing Ransacked

Spite work, remarkable in its concep-
tion and daring in its execution, was
perpetrated in the Church Of the New
Christianity at 515 East Ninth street
early yesterday morning
The back door of the church was en-
tered by smashing the lock with a cold
chisel and 124 of the leather cushions
In the seats were cut from end to end
with a knife. This knife was found by
one of the detectives called.
The hair stuffing of the cushions was
scattered on the floor. The contents of
a bottle of ink was scattered about the
walls, books were scattered and torn,
drawers were pulled open and ran
sacked, and even the purple covering
of the pulpit was cut from its place,
folded and placed upon the minister's
chair on the platform.
But the particular object of the van
daPs vengeance was the huge church
Bible. the leaves of which were torn
and scattered on the platform.
Particular attention had been paid
to cutting one verse in Exodus. The
verse was found on top of the purple
covering on the minister's chair and
the knife was plunged to the hilt
through the verse, covering and into the
chair.
The blade passed through the words:
IAN eye for an eye and tooth for a
TOOTH"
This act is looked upon as sufficient
proof of the motive which actuated
the vandal. Six years ago a man
named Fred Boneman was sentenced to
two years and six months in prison for
breaking into and stealing money from
the church, and the police are inclined
to believe he is the perpetrator of the
deed.
Rev. j. E. COLON is minister Of the
church and has been attending a con-
vention at Cleveland for the last three
weeks. S. Mclaughlin, president of the
board of trustees of the church, arrived
at the building at 8 o'clock Sunday
morning preparatory to airing the
church before the services began. He
glanced about the room and imme-
diately notified the police department.
and Detectives Mcnamara and Dixon
were dispatched to the scene. Mr.. Nc
Laughlin returned to the church, and
seeing drops of ink on the floor mis-
took them for blood and wiped one
spot with a. piece of paper, when he
found his mistake. The fact that the
ink was wet at o'clock in the morning
proves the deed was perpetrated Sun
day morning.
None of the neighbors remember hav-
ing seen any suspicious appearing
character around the building. Neither
did they hear any noise such as the
man must have made when he broke
into the building. Mr.. Mclaughlin
said nothing of value had been re-
moved from the chucrch.

SEN. WARNER TO
NOTIFY NOMINEE
OF CONVENTION
WILL BE CHAIRMAN OF THE
COMMITTEE
OTHER SELECTIONS PROVE
TAFT'S CONFIDENCE
Forces of Secretary of War Believe
They VIII Be Able to Control and
Organize Convention at
Chicago
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO, June 14-It was an
nounced at the Taft headquarters here
today that United States Senator Will
liam Warner of Missouri will be chosen
chairman of the convention committee
to make notification to the presidential
nominee of his selection of the con-
vention; that former Governor John F.
Hill of Maine would be preferred to
head the convention committee on per-
manent organization, and that Senator
Charles w. Fulton of oregon was be-
ing most favorably considered for the
chairmanship of the credentials COM
mittee.
The selections depend, of course,
upon the success of the plans of Taft
forces to organize. the convention, and
are regarded as Indicating the conf
dence felt in that quarter that their
strength predominates.
The selection of Senator Warner to
head the notification committee, Is re-
garded as of more than passing politi-
cal Importance. The senator is past
COMMUNICATIVE chief of the G. A. r., a
veteran who saw service throughout
the Civil War, and represents doubt
full state. Senator Warner Is close
and personal friend and admirer of the
secretary of war and should the con-
vention fulfill the ambition of that
official the address apprising him Of
that fact would undoubtedly contain
expressions intended to clear the at
mosphere of any suggestion OF clouds
which may have been in the horizon
since the secretary's Memorial day ad-
dress at Grants tomb in New York.
Ordinarily this appointment would
go to the permanent chairman of the
convention. Senator Lodge of Massa-
chusetts, is slated for this honor, but
because of contemplated visit to Eu-
rope will be unable to accommodate
himself to the demands of the noti-
fication committee.
The credentials committee chairman
ship is a matter requiring and receiv-
ing most careful consideration. Sena-
tor Fulton's availability is recognized
from many points of view. He Is not
entirely familiar with each of the con-
tested cases, before the national COM
mittee, but he heads delegation which
comes to the convention without a
single contest. Besides this, his ap-
pointment would be extending the
northwest one of the delicate compli-
ments of the convention.

BIG CROWD TO
RIVER BLUFF
ALL DAMAGE POSSIBLE HAS
BEEN DONE
is ABANDONED BY
ITS 10000 INHABITANTS
Water Runs Twelve Feet Deep in the
Streets and Evlcted Persons
Have Nothing to Do
but Wait
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
KANSAS CITY, June 14.-The great
Kaw Missouri flood, which has almost
reached it's crest, drew hundreds of
thousands of sightseers today to the
bluffs overlooking the flooded bottoms.
The water has done all the damage
that Is in it's power. The railroad
yards have been evacuated; the pack
ing houses and business establish
ments have vacated their lower floors;
Armourdale has been entirely aban-
doned by it's 10000 inhabitants and
water is running twelve feet deep in
its streets.
There Is no excitement anywhere,
the evicted people having found shelter
for themselves and their movable
property. There is nothing to do but
to wait for the tide to turn, as the
weather bureau says it will tomorrow
The weather today was generally
fair in the Kaw watersheds, with only
light shower here and there, and
this inspired a hopeful feeling. Wealth
er Observer Connor says:
"a height not to exceed 81 feet VIII
be reached in both rivers. The Mis-
souri, was at 80 feet at 6 p. M, rise
of 3 inches since noon, and was rising
half an inch an hour. The Kaw was
29.4 feet above low water at p. m.
and rising at the same rate as the Mis-
souri,. 1t is impossible to predict the
duration of the high water or set an
hour for it's recession, because of the
weather conditions. Rain Is still
threatened in the north and west"
The Kaw is discharging freely into
the Missouri and Is expected to fall be-
fore the Missouri does. The Kaw re-
ceded seven inches at Topeka last night
and continues to fall. At st. Joseph
the Missouri which rose yesterday, Is
now stationary.
The union station is still above wa
ter and will be safe even II the rise is
eighteen inches more. The railroads
are all moving trains with difficulty,
being obliged to detour in every direc-
ton.
Officials and business men of both
Kansas Citys express determination
to put an end to the annual floods.
The great difficulty has been that
having two city governments. the
United States government and three
counties and numerous interstate rail-
roads are involved. During the pas'
year the federal government has de-
clared the Kaw a navigable stream
This gives the war department author
ity to order removal of the Union IA
ciflc and Missouri Pacific low bridges
which obstruct the river and caused
overflow OF Armourdale and the stock
yards at high water. Any scheme OF
raising the banks of the Kaw wouio
involve elevating the railroad tracks;
One measure proposed is to cut canal
across the point of land where the Mis-
souri, makes it's big bend to the east;
This canal would carry the Missouri
overflow from a point above Kansas
City to a point several miles below.
The city officials of the two Kansas
Citys are cooperating In steps to con-
tro1 the rivers

The confidential agent did not learn
that the ruse was merely to draw the

IN AGREEMENT ON BILL
InsuIar Commission and Philippine
Assembly Reach Compromise
Whereby 100000 Pesos
Is Appropriated

MANILA, June 14.-After many ex-
tended and apparently hopeless con-
ferences, the insular commission and
the Philippine assembly have finally
arrived at an agreement upon the gem
eral appropriation bill, which, it is
believed both the commission and the
assembly will ratify.
The compromise measure appropri-
ates 16, $780, 600 pesos, the assembly maxi
ing a concession of nearly 100000
pesos.
The appropriations agreed upon in the
bill are practically the same as the ac-
tual expenditures last year. The COM
mission declined to assent to the re-
duction in salaries, and the consolida-
ton of some of the bureaus as pro-
posed by the assembly.
The personnel of the various bureaus
and departments remains unchanged.
