 A member of the committee said to- day that some of the details of Cooks narrative of his expedition were fabricated and his papers showed that he had used calculations furnished by Captain Loose. The second report, he added, would present evidence to that afYacf

BLOW SAFE IN MONTGOMERY AND
 GET AWAY

Police Have No Clue and No Arrests
 Have Bees Made In the Case.
 Second Robbery of
 Same Nature.
 Professional safe blowers got in their work early Monday morning at the store of c. S. McI.ain. Oak Street. getting away with ss00. ac- cording to reports madesto the police by McLain. :
 The robbera was not discovered un- til after o'clock Monday morning. when the watchman of the Western Railway of Alabama yards passed the store and saw the back door open and reported 1t to McL4in. who resides across the street from his store.
 The rear door of the store had been opened by removing bolt from the hinges. The safe was either blown open or pried open. the knob being torn from the safe by means of bar or other instrument. In addition to the money taken from the safe. two boxes of cigars were taken. but noth- ing else of value In the way of mer- chandise was touched.
 So far no clues to the identity of the thieves has been discovered, and no arrests have been made. McLain can give the police no clue to the thieves except that two strange white men were about his store last Friday.
 If the suspicion that the safe was pried open with bar holds good. and such seems to be the case from the fact that nothing in the store was injured or broken as would be the cases were explosives used, 1t makes the second safe robbery of this nature to occur in Montgomery in the past few months. The safe of the Banks Coal Company, on Taiiapoosa Street. was opened in the same way last October.
 The robbery must have taken place between o'clock Sunday evening and

Judge Ide'S Ideas of Women.

Henry Clay Ide, ex-governor general
of the Philippines, who sailed recently
to take the post of United States minister
/ to Spain, is taking some advanced ideas
on the subject of women into that land
OF dark eyed senoritas, lace mantillas,
and fans. He doesn't exactly come out
tor unqualified woman suffrage, but
sometimes very near it.
. have always thought" he said to
Tribune reporter, that women should
vote on the questions that concern them.
They have as good right as men to
exercise the ballot in matters relating to
the taxation of their property, the ex-
pendlture OF the money thus obtained.
the management and maintenance of the
schools, and the general protection of the
community. They should have the vote
on all things affecting the moral uplift
OF the people. Schools, especially are
their province. The mother has the
training of the child; that is her work;
and who knows better than she does
what is for the child's best interest in the
SCHOOL,"
Mr.. lde said he believed that women's
growing interest in the ballot would
have a purifying effect in politics. And
the agitation for woman suffrage has
already worked wonders toward the
general emancipation of women" he
said. In the days when cast my first
vote woman, in most of the states.
could not make a contract that was
binding. She had almost no property
rights; she might be rich woman,
married to man who brought her
nothing, but her property was his to
control. She had no right in her children,
who in the eyes of the law were her hus
bands. Now all this is changed, and
while, it is true, it was men who repealed
those unjust laws, woman suffrage agi-
tation made the sentiment that caused
them to do the repeating"
Mr.. lde said he didn't stand "as an
advocate of divorce lightly.given, but he
considered that there were many lust
causes for divorce. And a woman who
is forced to such an ISSUE" he said, lis
not to be looked upon as an outcast
OF society"
What about women in the field of
labor"
"A woman who does the work a man
does should be paid the money a man
is Fad. OF course there are kinds of
work requiring more muscle than most
women have, but i'll clerical and intellect
ual pursuits there need be no distinction.

"VOiceS of Faith and Love-"

The April number of the Hartford
Seminary Record had the following
appreciative review of the book of poems
published by this office:
We do not know how many hidden
poets there are in our Hartford circle.
though we catch occasional CLEANS of
verse from one and another of the
brotherhood. But the publication of a
whole volume of poems by Hartford
man is rare event. Hence it is a real
pleasure to welcome the Voices Of Faith
and Love, "that DR.. Stephen G. Barnes
has lately put forth in modest but taste
full guise for the delight and cheer not
only of his many personal friends, but of
those who do not know him. These
poems, as the preface tells us, have been
written and most of them printed at
intervals, often drawn forth by some
special circumstance or event. They
clearly represent something of the
writer's inner life as it moved from one ex-
perience or range of thought to another.
They have the precious value of genuine
Observation-Disclosures not for self
display or even so much for the relief of
self-expression, but that what has been
spiritually helpful to the author may be
shared with Others. The themes are all
religious in some way and often explicit
ly devotional and the treatment is sin
cere, warm and sensitive, always ex-
pressive of a profound and winning
spirituality. We are conscious that the
book comes from preachers hand, but
its tone is not so much didactc as COM
panionable and confidential.
On the technical side, the book attracts
by its variety of measure, diction and
style. Some pieces are in blank verse,
some are sOnnets, some songs of greater
or less degree, and some true hymns. Dr.
Barnes extensive literary experience
shows in his desire to try many forms,
and in his dexterity in handling them.
On the whole, perhaps the sonnets are
the most successful in technique, for
sometimes in the more lightly lyrical
verses, there is not quite the pure music
alness of diction and movement that one
might crave. But there is no carelessness
or harshness, And everywhere the energy
and weight of the thought shines through |
the outward style.

Country Life Commission,

The Country Life Commission appoint
ed by President Roosevelt to consider the
conditions of the farmers and recommend
remedies for existing DEFICIENCIES in
country life made a report to Congress
in February. Their suggestions on
highway Improvements are particularly
interesting.
The demand for good highways is
general among the farmers of the entire
United States. Education and good
roads are the two needs most frequently
mentioned in the hearings. HIGHWAYS
that are disable at all times of the year
are now imperative, not only for the
marketing of produce, but for the eleva-
ton of the social and intellectual status
of the open country and the improve
ment OF health by insuring better med-
cal and surgical attendance.
The advantages are SO we'll under
stood that arguments for better roads
are not necessary here. Our respondents
are now concerned largely with the
methods OF organizing and financing
the work. With only unimportant ex-
~ PN'NiioI IllN icll IllClS WIN nave GA press
ed themselves to us on this question
consider the Federal Government is fair
ly under obligation to aid in the work.
I'VE hold that the development of a
fully serviceable highway system is
matter Of national concern, coordinate
with the development Of WATERWAYS and
the conservation of our native resources.
1t is absolutely essential to our internal
development. The first thing necessary
IS to provide expert supervision and
direction and to develop a national
plan. All the work should be co-opera-
tive between the Federal Government
and the States. The question of Federal
appropriation for highway work in the
States may well be held in allowance
until a national service is provided and
tested. We suggest that the United
States Government establish highway
engineering service, or equivalent organi-
eaton, to be at the call of the States in
working out effective and economical
highway systems"

Why We Sleep in Church.

The many people who find it almost
impossible to keep awake in church may
find comfort in the results of recent
scientific investigation.
The Rutland News states that a French
psychologist explains sleeping in church
on the theory that the devout wor-
shippers close attention to the sermon
and his concentrated gaze on the face of
the preacher induces sefhypnotism.
Thus the speaker should feel rather com
plimented than offended if he finds his
congregation noddng,
This explains why so many church
goers remember SO little of the sermons
they hear. In endeavorng to fix every
word IN their minds they put themselves
into a sort of trance. Some distraction
during the service would disturb this
condition, which, when it does not 90 so
tar as to induce sleep, is often described
by reporters as "breathess attention"

Metallized Flowers.

Metallized flowers, which have, since
the art of Transforming them was per
iected a short time ago by Paris chem
list, caused SO much wonder, are now be-
ing manufactured in st. Johnsbury.
This announcement may surprise many,
but John Moriarty OF Portland street
stands ready to prove to the unbeliever
the truth Of it. After a great deal of ex.
perimentlng Mr.. Moriartv has discover
ed the correct process and he has already
made and sold many beautiful specimens
OF the art. This news is all the more in
teresting when it is considered that. so
far as known, the work has only been
done in three other places heretofore.
Paris, Chicago and in the state of Wash.
ington.
Mr.. Moriarty believes that the posi-.
bilities OF the art are practically unlimit-
ed and that it possesses a commercial as
well as an artistic value, for not only can
flowers be metallzed tor ornaments but
funeral, wedding and graduation flowers
can by this process be preserved in their
natural shapes tor all times. Insects
and other specimens for museums could
also be treated in the same manner and
there are probably other uses to which it
could be put.
