THREATENED
III HE ATTENDS BALL GIVEN BY
CHICAGO ALDERMEN.
Incurred Enmity by Denunciation o.
the Alleged Orgy Held Last
Year.

Friends of the Rev. Il. Keene
Ryan, a native of Russellville, KY,
are considerably worried over the
publication in a Chicago newspaper
of anonymous letters received by the
minister threatening his life for ex-
posing the alleged immortality of a
ball given by Alderman Coughlin and
Alderman Kenna, of the Fest ward
in Chicago, last year, and which ball
is to be repeated in the near future.
DR.. Ryan has received numbers OF
Anonymous letters all warning him
that he would be slugged, and that
his house would be dynamited If he
attended the ball and made any refer
ence to it. Later anonymous tele-
phone messages were received, the
person on each occasion telling the
minister that pans had been laid,
and he would be slugged II he ven
tured within the vicinity OF the ball.
DR.. Ryan VISITED the ball last year
and in a graphic account for a news
paper told OF the degeneracy and the
immortality that characterized IT,.
When the announcement was made
that another ball was to be given a
storm of protest arose from minis
tiers, but Mayor Busse issued a per
init for the ball and for the bar to be
operated in connection. IL Is said
$40, 900 was derived from the sale OF
tickets last year, but as a result OF
the protest of the Rev. Ryan and
others the receipts this year win BIO

said to him 'on this rock build my

He then declared that in view of
this fact II would rest with the COM
mittee on rivers and harbors to make
recommendation in this as in all
other matters pertaining to the i'm
provement OF the waterways of the

lastly with the president to say What

dalton.
The speaker made no definite
promises, but assured his hearers
that he had no doubt the committee
would give the object its very best
consideration, and he expressed the
opinion that the improvement of the
inland waterways would progress
with the increase of population.
Contract Plan Customary.
Referring to the suggestion for an
issuance of bonds for the proposed
Improvements he called attention to
the fact that at present all improve

made under contract and said the

he said, that there were some who
did not want to so wait on the swing

as he well understood, many of them
would then be in a region where II
would be necessary to clothe
themselves in asbestos muslin. but
he maintained that such a course
might be necessary.

Boz NEW BILLS IN THE SENATE.

Washington, Dec. 10.-The session
of the senate yesterday was chiefly de-
voted TO the formal presentation of
departmental reports and in the In
PRODUCTION Of bills. The reports have
been made public from time to time
and the bills to the number OF 1852
were chiefly for granting pensions.
Senator Johnston, of Alabama, in
troduced a bill to reinstate former
Cadets Russell and Weaver, dismissed
from the military academy for haz-
ing. He declared that their punish
ment was excessive and said that
every new senator was hazed by
being given unimportant assignments
and being restricted in his privileges.
He did not wish to have the idea go
forth that boys mothers have 20
look after them after they enter the
military academy.

In the House.

For nearly FIVE hours the house
considered a bill providing for the
taking OF the 18th and subsequent
decennial censuses. and passed II with
out material change. From the very
outset Of the debate II became evident
that the progress Of the measure to-
ward passage would be impeded by
numerous amendments and by the
arguments which they developed.
Prolonged, animated, and, at
times, a heated discussion was pre-
cipitated over amendment by Mr.
Gillette. OF Massachusetts,. who
sought 10 have a temporary census
force authorized by the blll with the
exception of a few minor positions,
appointed from the basis of com
petitive instead OF non-competitive
examinations.
For Postal Revision.
II was stated that a bill prepared
by the postal revision commission
will be ready for presentation to con-
gress next week and that no other
postal measure Wall be before the
house when the revision bill is under
consideration. IL is probable there
fore that the postofiice appropriation
bill VIII not be reported until after
the holidays The appropriation bin
when reported, probably will carry
an increase OF about $40. 600 900 and
even with that increase will not pro-
vide for any futures aside from the
regular supplies OF the department.
For Tariff Commission.
A bill providing for the establish
ment of tariff commission of seven
members to fix rates OF duties on
ali imports was introduced in the
house today by Fowler, OF New Jer-
sey. II provides that congress shall

Ashworth had been present ut any time
while the vote was being canvassed
witness said lie did not know that they
were. though he admitted that lie wns

Heard Some Talk.
3. T. Wilson, former Democratic
county chairman of Russell. was sworn
and questioned by Mr.. Irvine. and tes-
titled that he had seen J. H. Ashwortli
IN the office of the county treasurer
on the day after the 1909 congressional
election. B. J. Wysor, Mr. Meade, Mr..
NJ. g. Clarke and probably Captain Gen,
were there.
Tell all that passed between you
and these gentlemen about this cleo
ton" said Mr.. Irvine.
II couldn't recall all, but I heard
some talk about alleged irregularities"
For what purpose do you under
stand Mr.. Ashworth came to Russell?'
II gathered that it was because OF
heated contests In two previous cleo
tons, and this one was in doubt. Ny
impression is that he came in anticipa-
ton of contest over the election
Did he make any improper sugges-
lions TO you concerning the natter"
None whatever and never heard
that he made any to other persons"
Can YOU say what this anticipation
on the part Of the Democrats as to
Republican frauds was based upon?'
"Abxolutc FnIschood.''
MY information was that at Bonner
Precinct the Republicans had taken
charge OF the election. held 1t at a
different place from the usual one, and
had during most of the day used ar
unofficial ballot"
Did you make any improper sug-
gestions as to the conduct Of this cleo
tion?"
II did not Two members OF the
canvassing board talked over the al
legged Irregularities with me. and
advised them that. in view of these
conditions. these precincts should
properly be excluded
