This ice gave cheering prospect. A
plain of purple and blue ran in easy
undulations TO the limits of vision
without the usual barriers of uplifted
blocks. over it direct air line course
was possible. Progress. however was
quite as difficult as over the irregular
pack. The snow was crusted with
large crystals. An increased friction
reduced the speed. while the surface,
too hard for snowshoes. was also too
weak to give secure footing The
loneliness. the monotony, the hardship
of steady, unrelieved travel were now
keenly felt.
II is not often that mans hOrsepow-

were compelled TO develop a working

Day after day we had pushed along

Omaha Divine Makes Sensational Dis.
coVery.

Omaha, May 27.-After making q
personal investigation, Dean George
A. Beecher, of Trinity Episcopal ca
thedral, has reached the conclusion
that large numbers of the boys of the
Omaha high school are frequenters of
the red light" district ard in his eff
forts to save them he will appeal to
the city authorities and ask for the
passage of an ordinance prohibiting
persons under a certain age from 60
Ing to the prescribed district, unless
On legitimate business.
A few nights ago, accompanied by
q friend, the dean made trip through
the district and there, as late as mid
night, he saw young boys entering and
coming out of the shady resorts.
Discussing the matter with the city
authorities, the dean expressed the
opinion that perhaps it might be wise
to have the prescribed district set
aside and inclosed by high fence or
wall. In that way those who entered
could be kept under surveillance, as
they would have to pass through
gate at which a police officer could be
stationed.
In the opinion of Dean Beecher the
social evil is not Haunted in the face
of the public any more openly in Oma-
ha than in other cities, but even here
it is so notorious that it should be
curbed in order to save the youth of
the city from travelling in the down
ward course leading to ruin. He be.
lieyes that if the city council will act
and pass the proper ordinances, young
boys can be kept away from many
of the places and that conditions will
be materially improved.

In both states the crops are said to

SENATE DISCUSSES SUGAR
For More Than Seven Hours Speeches
are Made on Tariff

Washington, May 27.--For more
than seven hours the senate was en-
gagged in the discussion of sugar as
that subject is involved in the pending
tariff Beginning with an effort by
Senator McEnery, the Louisiana
democratic protectionist, there were
four set speeches. Three of these
were in support of the sugar schedule
as reported from the committee on
finance while the fourth was a plea for
material reductions.
Senator McEnery made an earnest
plea for stiff protection, not only be-
cause of the necessity for such pol
icy in the interest of revenue but also
because, as he declared, such course
would render the United States indie
pendent of other countries. Senator
Burrows of Michigan and Senator
Smoot of Utah, both of them members
of the finance committee, spoke in
support of the committees action.

the confessions and the restoration of

The election of a junior senator to

The hall of representatives through
the hours preceding the close of the

Strong efforts were made by former

The dramatic last act of the dead

Control of Government.
London, May 27.-The Times Con.
stantinople correspondent says that
much apprehension has been caused
among the Young Turks and Armeni-
ans by the news that the new vail of
Adana, who is described as a some
what fanatical Kurd, has entrusted the
important task of the distribution of
the government relief fund to Bag
dadi, a Turkish land owner, who was
the first to lead band of armed men
into Bazaar at Adana and begin the
slaughter of Armenians.
There is reason to believe, the cor
respondent declares, that the. local
people implicated in the massacre are
endeavoring to secure official support
from Constantinople to project them
from well merited chastisement, that
many of the military leaders are anx-
ious to inflict upon them. The atti-
tude of the best elements of the army
and the chamber, however, encour-
ages the hope that their efforts will
not be successful,
