THURSDAY, JANUARY 2S. 1909.
WIPED OUT.

Yesterdays vote Of the national
house OF representatives was unani-
nous in support of the proposition to
remove the speech of Willett of New
York from the official records. The
action was we'll advised; nowhere In
the country did the vituperative New
Yorker find an Endorsement of his
position in unwarrantably and unreas-
onably attacking the president: he was
condemned from one end Of the nation
to the other and the condemnation
was unqualified. The action of the
house yesterday was, of itself, stern
rebuke to the New York representa-
tive: but 1t Is doubtful If he will ap-
preciate it; man who talks as he
did is beyond the reach of anything
short Of a whack with a club. But
the house has placed itself right be-
fore the people, which is the main
thing; 1t would have been unfortunate
had the Impression prevailed that Will
let's contemporaries and associates
condoned his action.

COUNTY'S EMPLOYEES
WALK OUT ON STRIKE

Chicago, Jan. 27-Cook county is
In the throes of a peculiar labor war,
growing out of the attempt of the
county commissioners to raise their
own salaries. The county treasurer's
force of 200 clerks has walked out
and refused to do the extra work at
the present wage scale.
Technically, all Of the men now are
on strike. Because of a peculiar COM
bination of circumstances, however,
they will continue to do their regular
work today and tomorrow, pending a
settlement.
The trouble involves an increase of
81 day for men working three hours
overtime-an amount which the COM
missioners told the men the county
could not afford to pay.
This is the busiest season of the
year for the treasurer. as tax bills
and tax books are in the course of
preparation and must be completed be-
fore April /. In order to do this 1t Is
necessary to work the entire office
staff at least three hours overtime
each day.

JUDSON IS GUEST
At BIG BANQUET

New York, Jan. 27.--Dr H. p. judi
son, president Of the Chicago univer-
sity was the guest of the evening
last night at a dinner given by the
Eastern Association of the Alumni OF
Chicago university. DR.. Judson spoke
principally Of the work and progress
of the university. DR.. John w. Coul-
ter, professor Of botany, was the lion
of the evening, in that he, with his
wife and two daughters, were on the
Republic during the recent disaster.
He related his experiences and told,
among other things, Of an incident
hardly to the credit of the American
whom it concerned. Said DIR. Coulter:
when they were offering the women
stimulants, after we had been trans
ferred to the Florida, 1 am ashamed
that one Of my countrymen tried to
secure some of it, when there was
hardly enough for the women. But
an Italian, mind you, pushed him
aside, saying that the women were in
greater need of it."
On the whole said the speaker the
best of spirit prevailed, and he was
struck by the generosity and bravery
which prevailed on all hands.

JURORS ARE ACCUSED
BY STATE
TWO MEN IN COOPER CASE PAN
Ell ARE UNDER FIRE OF THE
PROSECUTION.

Nashville, Tenn, Jan. 27.-Despite
the delay In securing jury In the
case against Colonel Duncan Cooper,
Robin Cooper and John D. Sharpe,
charged with the murder of Senator
K. w. Carmack, the court room was
we'll filled this morning when Judge
Hart mounted the bench to hear the
testimony in the charges against the
two accepted jurors.
John s. Leigh and H. H. Jackson,
now in the jury box, were accused by
the state Of being habitual drunkards.
In addition. Leigh was charged with
having expressed an opinion. In the
Leigh case the state summoned Is
witnesses and the defense twice as
many.
In the Jackson case the state sub
poenaed Is or 20. but the defense had
not indicated it's action. A venire of
500 men has been drawn and the sher-
ifs deputies are out to summon them
for Friday. At that time the work Of
completing the jury will be resumed
Judge Hart asked counsel on both
sides how they wished to proceed. The
defense asked that Jurors Leigh and
Jackson be called and told Of the
charges The state agreed to question
the jurors as to having expressed an
opinion, but said the question of
drunkenness must be testified to by
witnesses to enable the court to de-
eide.
And / presume / can get expert
testimony on drunkenness right here
in the court room,' remarked Judge
Hart, with a smile.
Doubtless" answered the attorney
general.
THAT is If need it," corrected the
court. / have some expert knowl-
edge myself"
I'VE will leave it to you, judge"
chorused the defendants attorneys.
The counsel on both sides then asked
time to consult with witnesses, which
was granted.

press at his side, took seats on the
dias of the great white hall Of the
palace. The visiting princesses stood
on the left of the majesties, the prin-
ces on the right, while the ambassa-
doris, ministers and other representa-
tives of foreign governments, hum
dreds of distinguished state and gov
eminent officials and dignitaries and
representatives Of the army, the navy
and other branches of the government
passed in front of the royal couple,
rendering to the emperor their con-
gratulations. This function lasted
fully one hour.
In the afternoon the emperor drove
to the various embassies, where he left
his cards. The streets through which
the emperor drove, particularly the
street called "Unter den Linden" were
lined with enormous crowds, which
greeted the emperor with genuine en-
thusiasm. AS customary the emperor
on his birthday conferred a large
number of decorations and other hon.
ors and made number of honorary
and political appointments, which will
be fully gazetted In the official organ
Of the government.

THE POOLROOM.

One of the most gratifying develop
ments Of the present open season for
legislation has been the practically I'M
animous stand that has been taken by
the states against the poolroom evil.
In nearly every state where the pool
room had obtained a foohold, there Is
agitation against It, Here in Montana
the friends of the institution, happily
few, raised the cry that the sentiment
against their particular form of rob-
berry was not representative and that
1t was not shared by any great num-
Der of business men. AS the commu-
nifty directly affected, Butte immedi-
ately took steps to reply to this as
sertion and a strong body of her cit
liens representing her principal bust
ness interests, appeared before the leg
lslature and emphatically stated that
the sentiment Of the commercial inter
ests Of Montana's largest city Is
against the poolroom In Spokane,
similar action has been taken. Ten
thousand OF the residents of the city
have united in signing memorial to
the legislature urging It's members to
adopt law against race-t track betting
and poolselling. In California and
Louisiana. where the racing interests
have been strongly intrenched, this
winter has witnessed radical action to-
ward abolishing the whole system. The
poolroom people cannot justly claim
that public sentiment upholds them
1t is unreservedly against them. 1t is

Berlin, Jan. 27.-Emperor Williams
5Oth birthday was celebrated today
throughout the countries composing
the Reich, and, in a more primitive
manner, but with equal good will and
enthusiasm, in the German colonies
and in all foreign countries where
Germans may be found in a consider
able number. There was little to dis
tinguish today's celebration in Berlin
from the similar celebrations in the
past.
In accordance with time-honored
tradition the emperor was awakened"
this morning by a special hymn by the
castle choir by trumpet fanfares
sounded by the corps of palace trum-
peters at s o'clock. This however,
was merely a matter of form, to COM
ply with the traditions of the house.
AS matter of fact the emperor had
arisen several hours before that time
and had transacted a large amount
of state and other business. Fully
dressed in splendid military uni
FORM the emperor showed himself at
a window of the castle overlooking
the court, where the musicians and
singers were gathered.
After this ceremony the emperor re-
ceived the congratulations of the
members of his family and the visit
ing princes and princesses, after
which all marched to the private
chapel of the palace, where court
chaplain, DR.. Dryander, delivered the
sermon and read short special serv-
ice.

bration followed the services at the

Spokane business men is we'll ex-
pressed in the statement made by the
chairman of the organization, who
says:
Mr. Sunday has made many state
ments, which are far from the facts.
in the course of his sermons in the
Spokane tabernacle, and we want to
set him right on these matters before
he leaves the city on tour of Cali
fornia and the southland. Many of
the things he has said do injustice to
this purposely or with the view of
injuring any one, but simply because
sources or study the conditions. We
want Mr. Sunday to meet our people !;
hear their ideas. This will show him
that most of the business men are in
sympathy with the purpose Of his
work II not with his methods. We be-
lieve we will be able to show him that
our men are all good fellows, and that
as community we are alive to our re-
sponsibilities as we'll as our oppor-
