DENT in CHICAGO.
Be BURIED HERE
Has Many Friends in Billings Who
Express Profound Grief over His
Death-Ensaeed in Cattle and Sheep
Business for Many Years.

News OF. the death Of Sam D.
Church, an old time resident of this
section Of the state and a we'll known
man in this city, was received by rel
atives living here yesterday. Mr..
Church died in Chicago as the result
of a general breakdown and the effects
Of a stroke Of paralysis.
The news OF his death comes as a
great shock to his many friends in
Billings and throughout this section of
the state and profound sorrow is ex-
pressed by all who knew him.
Mr. Church has been in ill health
for some time past but until recently
it was believed that he was improving
and on the road to recovery. About
three years ago this winter Mr.. and
Mrs. Church went out to the coast and
remained there until last summer liv-
ing most of the time in Portland and
Seattle. They visited old friends and
relatives in Billings for several weeks
last summer and later went east.
Besides a wife who was with him
when he died, Mr.. Church leaves two
daughters, Mrs. Orrin Mickey Of this
city and Mrs. W. j. Youmans, a for
mer resident of Billings living in
Portland, Ore, at present.
Came Here in EARLY Eighties.
Mr.. Church first came to Montana
in 1882 and later went to northern
Wyoming where he was engaged in
the cattle business for a number of
years. In the early nineties he re-
turned to Billings and for several
years after that was engaged in the
sheep business in this section, retir-
ing about four or five years ago..
He was a conservative business
man, noted for his honesty and integ-
rity. He made friends Of everyone
with whom he came in contact both in
business and in private life. Being
a man of sterling qualities he was
highly respected in this community as
well as everywhere he had lived.
He was a member of the local
knights Of Pythias lodge and. of the
Billings club.
Arrangements for the funeral have
not been made yet, but it is expected
that interment will be made here.

fight which his counsel promised he
would make to restore his shattered

Where the advantage lay at the end
of the day was. not made clear. To all
questions, Morse's counsel, p. J. Britt,
replied: Z

his assistant K~eisley--oro better still

ruptcy proceedings against Morse, the
early institution ofo which by certain
creditors had been rumored, failed to
materialize and with the expiration OF
the day the four months legal limit
closed and M. J.. O'Brien became a pre-
Iferred creditor.
Morse allotted certain collateral to
the justice, who as a member Of the
law firm ofo O'Brien. Boardman &
Platt,. was counsel for the fnancier.
The fact that O'Brien's claim would
become preferred after today led to
the report that q petition in involun-
tary bankruptcy would be filed by 9TH
Ell creditors before night. On the 9TH
er hand it was learned that the dis
trict attorneys Office was not served
with papers in the action threatened
by Attorney Britt to restrain proposed
civil suits against Morse.

Lowell at 6:46 for Boston, where he
boarded the Federal express at s

tary delivered two addresses. The
first, in Nashua this afternoon, was
devoted to the work Of. the govern
ment in the Philippines and the prog
ress made on the Panama canal. The
second, this evening, was to the mem
bers Of the Lowell board of trade. Sec
rotary Taft stopped about Is minutes
here, and in the course of his remarks
he referred to the relations between
Japan and the United States. He said
that in his opinion there was no pos
sibility Of war with Japan. His recent
visit to the Orient, he said, convinced
him that the wal talk was ridiculous.
At Nashua Junction the secretary
was escorted to a hall, where he
spoke or the Philippines and the Pan

HENRY AFTER CANNON
Southern Member Tells Speaker 10
Come Out IL the Open anal Show
Where He Stands Oh the Labor
Question-House Does LITTLE.

M&R@Tff
Washington, Feb. ia general ar
raignment Of the republican party was
made in the house by Mr.. Carrot of
Tennessee today. He charged that
during its entire career that party
had had just three fundamental ar
guments with which to appeal to the
voters"
He asserted that the party came
into power by an ahlliatton with the
anti-slavery sentiment OF the country
while in the second stage the repub-
licans retained power BY appealing to
the heroic memory and the intense
but inevitable prejudices engendered
In the war in which slavery was abol-
ished.
For two decades. he said. the
bloody shirt" was the party banner
'and behind its crimson flowing
folds they marched to victory after
victory"
The third stage, he said. was the
argument which we of this generation
are so familiar that republican sue
cess means prosperity and democratic
uccess does not. This last conten-
ton had become the battle cry Of the
party. Not in 16 years, he charged,
had the republican party as, such
faced an issue squarely "out In the
open sunlight Of judgment and rea-
son.
More oratory.
AS the result OF Mr.. Boutelle,s laud-
atory remarks on Speaker Cannon In
the house yesterday, Mr.. Henry Of
Texas today said that II Mr.. Bou-
telle's statements were sincere and
truly represented the speaker atti-
tude toward the toilers OF the country,
the speaker would give the weight Of
his influence to much needed legisla-
ton.
He said there were several matters
that could be enacted into law within
the next few days or weeks, III the
speaker would but respond to the dem
ocrats OF the country and the demand
OF the democrats Of the house."
Some Of these were the employers
liability bill and the bill requiring ne
tice before injunction shall be issued
by federal judges.
MI. Henry asserted that If Speaker
Cannon wished to reflect the views Of
miners and toilers Of the country, he
would aid in passing these measures,
and to that end MI. Henry pledged
the solid democratic vote of the
house. @
Work That Was Done.
The bill providing for the taking Of
the thirteenth census occupied most
Of the time Of the session OF the
house today. Progress with It was
slow because OF numerous amend
ments offered, but which IL the main
were rejected.
The bill was amended II one i'm
portant phase. and that a limiting
che census to the mainland OF the
United States. Alaska, Hawaii and
Porto Rico.
The provision that an assistant d.
rector. shall be appointed BY and with
the advice and consent Of the senate
was stricken out, thus leaving the
appointment absolutely with the pres
ident. The measure win be further
debated tomorrow.

Mr.. ASHFORD ON CASE
OF SENATOR BAKER

Editor Advertiser: Believing that L
know the facts concerning the alleged
disqualifications of Senator. elect David
X. Baker, beg permission to state
them.
Mr.. Baker resigned his office of Dep
nty Sheriff of South Kona before the
late election. At the first meeting of
the Hawaii Supervisors after the elec-
tion (whether at his own request or
not, am not certain), the Supervisors
voted to reappoint Senator Baker to
said office of Deputy Sheriff, to hold for
the balance of the term, and until the
newly elected candidate should take
that office, next month. A notification
of this appointment, together with a.
form of official oath for him to sub
scribe and swear to, was sent to Sen
ator Baker, and reached him during
the recent term of court at Kailua.,
Upon my advice he declined the office,
and refused to qualify for it by taking.
the oath.
L believe the above are the material
facts in the case, and they certainly
fall short of showing his disqualification
as Senator. But, if an afternoon pa
per is accurate, there is now in Homo
lulu "member of the Senate from an
outside Island" who has delivered him
self of the following choice bit of
wisdom, viz:
"In my personal opinion the recent
charges against Baker should be enough
to bar him from the Upper House."
The Senator from an outside Is
land" doubtless refers to the indict-
ments against Senator Baker, upon
! which he was recently acquitted, by
direction of-the Circuit Court, at Kai-
lua, as know of no other "charges :"
having been made against him. How
would the Solon from the "outside'
Island" relish being himself "barred
from the Upper House, merely be.
cause of malicious "eharges" having
been preferred against him, especially
after their rottenness had been demon
strated by successive jury acquittals,
directed by the courtg May God be-
stow some common sense, together with
