ADVOCATED BY TAFT.
Bill Reported Enlarging the Philip
pine Commission.

If BILL ordered favorably reported yes
terday by the House committee on insuiar
affairs becomes a law the Philippine conn
mission will consist of nine members in
stead of eight, as AT present. The bill was
introduced by Chairman Cooper of the
committee, and it's passage was advocated
by Secretary Taft.
The Secretary said that with eight MEM
bers as the commission is now consti-
tuted. tie vote on a measure before the
commission might result. which, of course
would have the effect of defeating IL. For
this reason he advocated an odd number
on the commission. He called attention to
the fact that one and sometimes two
members of the commission are frequently
away from Manila for quite a length of
time. and for this reason also he thought
il advisable that the commission should
be enlarged.
In reply to a question Secretary Taft
said that if the biz became q law he
thought the new member would be Fill
Pine.
The fact that there are now two va
cancies on the commission was called to
Secretary Taft's attention, and he said
that in his opinion they would be filled by
the appointment of members from the op-
posing political parties in the islands.
The bill as ordered reported, in addition
to increasing the membership of the COM
mission to nine, was amended by the adj
dition of the following section:
THE President is hereby authorized in
his discretion to create by executive order
and name a new executive departu ent in
the Philippine government. and embrace
therein such existing bureaus as he may
designate in the order: and i'm his appoint
ment of any commission member he shall
specify i'm his message to the Senate the
department. IL any, of which the ap.
pointee shall be the secretary.

NO DANGER OF DIVISION.
Member of Rechabite Order Outlines
Local Situation.

The recent publication i'm The Star OF
the views of a prominent member of the
Independent Order of Rechabites who de-
c!ared that five of the local tents of the
order were opposed to affiliation with the
prohibition movement here. and that there
might be a split in the organization. has
caused much comment i'm anti-prohibition
circles Mr.. j. T. Rolf. prominent men,
Der of Harmony Tent. today said, in re-
ferring to the matter:
I'm recent issue of your paper appear
ed an article giving the views of a promi-
nent Rechabite. stating that there was a
great danger of split in the 1ndepend-
ent Order of Rechabites. owing TO a diff
ference of opinion upon the subject OF
prolli bition and public demonstrations.
and naming certain tents in the order as
being i'm favor Of such a movement. He
names Harmony Tent, No. 1920 as favor
ing a new order. to be called the -Ameri-
can Order OF Rechabites.
Il wish to state that Harmony Tent
stands pledged to the principles of the
order. moral suasion, and il still stands
pledged to continue the work along the
above lines. At a recent meeting the
tent adopted a resolution. expressing
fealty to the cardinal principles eN-
pressed in the preamble of our. constitu-
ton. and that we did not believe that
greater good can be obtained by public
vi WoIhlffS pOilticdt
parties. We recognize the right OF in
dividuals TO express their opinions to
mingle in any movement that will adj
vance temperance, but only an individ-
ual.
I'VE don't believe in fighting a legal
lied traffic. for the saloonkeeper has q
legal right to conduct his business under
the laws. The Independent Order OF
Rechabites only wants TO save the man
who In his weakness suffers from the
drink habit. We do not fight the man be-
hind the bar. but our aim is to save the
man in front of the bar. and We believe
this best can be done by moral suasion.
A warm hand to these persons will ac-
complsh more good. mage more homes
happy and better citizens than to follow
after prohibition.
"Our order is in no danger Of a split.
Neither is there any concerted movement
of the order for the formation of any new
order. Every true Rechabite will still
work to save the man who is addicted 10
the use of strong drink, and to. restore
him to good citizenship by Kind words
and lending a helping hand"

unrecognizable. The severed portions
of the body were wrapped i'm oilcloth and
tied in two separate packages. Some
clothing remaiped on the body. which is

CHURCH SEEKS NEW LOCATION
First Congregational Member Take
Step in This Direction.

First Congregational Mem bers Take
Step in This Direction.
Another decisive step In the direction of
securing a new houss OF worship in a more
central location was taken by the members
of the First Presbyterian church Sun
day. At the close of the morning service
the trustees were instructed to secure an
option on a new site for a church ediflce.
They were also authorized to receive bids
for the present church property at the
southwest corner of Sixth street and
Seventh avenue. 1t was suggested that the
committee be ready to make a report to
the congregation early in September. An
informal expression as to location was
taken and the majority of the members
favored a site as near Bayliss park as pos
slble.
There will be no preaching services in
the First Presbyterian church during Au-
gust, as It Is the pastors vacation month.
During the month Sunday school will be
he'd at $3.50 a. IN. instead Of at noon.
The general church picnic will be held
Tuesday, August 4, at Lake Manawa and
will be under the direction OF the Ladies
Al and Missionary societies OF the church.
Every member and family of the church
and congregation is invited to participate
in the days outing.

DR.. MANAWA FINE PHYSICIAN
His Prescriptions sunday Were Used
to Good Eject by Thou
sands.

Golfers Weekly made an expose not
long ago Of the many different kinds OF
nostrums put before the public and eX-
plotted as cures for all ailments and found
that nlne-tenths were more injurious than
helpful.
But there is one panacea that no doctor
or scientist can fail to no mat
ter how great the analysis or test and
that is a few visits to Doctor Manawa.
There are the rowboats for a muscle
builder. the bathing for an increased and
abnormal temperature, the roller coaster
for general stimulation and eXhilaration, the
launches for a soothing and q~uieting of
weakened nerves, the m~erry-go-round for
equilibrium and the motion picture show
for exhaustion.
Manawa had the biggest Sunday in its
history yesterday and the patronage was
so great, so IA exceeded the capacity of
the various attractions. that many hun
dreds were turned away disappointed.
1t was a banner day in every sense and
money was spent more freely than even
on the Fourth and all the side shows"
on the Midway did a business far beyond
all expectations and very gratifying to the
management,
The bathing feature was o~vertaXed, every
suit. new and old, being pressed into serv-
ice and many were used three and four
times during the day, anything for a swim.
After so much rain and Indictment weather
this season yesterdays patronage put
much Joy and happiness in the hearts Il
the Manawa management ana they are
praying for a few more days like yes
terday.
A one-minute car service was hardly
adequate to handle the immense throngs
and during the evening nearly every extra
car was put into use.

FOOTPADS STOP VAN MEYER
Council Bluffs Man Relieved Of Small
Sum and Watch.
ORDERED TO THROW UP HANDS
Men Not Masked, but They Make
Effective Search for VaIuAbles
and Leave in the
Dark,

r. a. Van Meyer, living at 900 South
seventeenth street, reported to the police
that he had been held up and robbed oy
two ootpads shortly after midnight Sat
urday, at the Seventh street crossing OF
The Great Western railroad.
Van Meyer stated that he was on his
way home at the place mentioned when
the two men stepped from behind a freight
car and ordered him to hold up his
hands. One of the footpads thrust a re-
volver into Van Meyers face with instruc-
lions to keep still, while the other fellow
went through his pockets. Van Meyer
told the police the robbers relieved him
OF his watch and IS in cash.
The footpads were not masked nor dis
guised. but owing to the darkness Van
Meyer was unable to secure a description
of them. After they had secured their
booty the fellow with the revolver ordered
Van Meyer to proceed on his way and not
look back. Van Meyer turned in time to
see the two robbers disappear among the
freight cars.

WEBSTER CITY, Ia, July N.-(special
Observation-Disclosures were frustrated IN
an attempt to rob the First National
Bank here at an early hour this morn
Ing. j. A Mertz, in passing the rear of
the bank came upon the men. They as
