COWARD, CHRISTIAN SOLDIER"

The AnglO-SaXOn Christians, with gat

In serried ranks are pushing on the
gospel of the Lord.
On Afric's soil they press the foe in
wars terrific scenes,
And merrily the hunt goes on through
out the Philippines.
What though the Beers are Chris
tians: the Philippines, too.
1t is a Christian act to shoot q fellow
creature through:
The bombs with dynamite surcharged
their deadly missiles fling,
And gayly on their fatal work the
dum-dum bullets sing.
The dead and mangled bodies, the
wounded and the sick,
Are multiplied on every hand. on ev-

Our Savior is an admiral upon the

Or else a general uniformed, an army

How natural that a change should
come in nineteen hundred years.
And Bibles take a place behind the
bullets and the beers,
We need a new Messiah to lead the
latest way,
And gospel version well revised to
show us how to pray.
Then onward. Christian soldier. tbro'

CAN'T BE CHRISTINE IF A STEM

You can't live as Jesus would and
be an employee of a large Cleveland
business house" says Miss Selma Nc
Govern, aged twenty-one. who at
tempted Monday morning TO begin
living two weeks as she thinks Christ
would Two days of the experiment
convinced her of the impossibility Of
it in Cleveland business life.
1t can't be done by an employee. g"
she said The employer himself
might carry the morality of Jesus into
his business if he chose. The case is
not hopeless. But the employer-at
least, my emplOyer-doesn't. And il
is suicidal for the employee to attempt
il.
"Christ's morality and business tact
clash. An employee insisting upon
rigid honesty would be discharged in

SOME STARTLING STATISTICS

According to Police Commissioner
Binghams report the arrests for fel-
Ony in Greater New York were in
1906, 1S,94S: in 1907. 22,O45, and in
1908. 25.209. The convictions we're
in 1906. 5O42; in 1907, 1906, and in
1905, 6099. The percentage of con-
victions to arrests is steadily dimin-
ishing. 1t was % per cent. in 1906,
% per cent. in 1907 and "a per cent.
in 1908.
Last year more than $4,000 persons
were arrested for felony and not con-
VIcted.

Wagar. Disclalms
Intent to Defraud
Former United States Commissioner
Takes Stand in Trial on Embez-
element Charge.

SIOUX FALL, 8. D., April H.-The gov
eminent today concluded the work of offer
ing evidence in the case of Arson Wagar,
former United States commissioner at
Dallas, who is on trial in the United States
court on the charge of embezzling trust
funds, which had been placed in his hands
by homesteaders.
The defendant commenced offering testl-
mony In his own behalf this afternoon.
Several witE esses were placed on the stand
to testify as to his good character and then
the defendant himself was called as a wit
ness. He said his failure to transmit to
the United States land officials the final
proof papers In question together with the
money turned over to him was due purely
to neglect resulting from his multitudin-
Gus duties outside Of those as Commissioners
and that he acted absolutely in good faith
and without the slightest intention OF de-
frauding any OF the homesteaders out of a
single penny. He claims he was on his way
to the land office with some Of the belated
final proofs when arrested. When court
adjourned until tomorrow. wagar was yet
on the witness stand. His cross-examlna-
ton is expected to be completed before the
noon hour Thursday.

schedules of the bill and Mr.. Aldrich
agreed to have such statements prepared.
Crtticism ny ~
After various questions by senators con-
corning their right at any time to suggest
amendments to the bill. the reading was
begun. AS It was proceeded with, questions
were frequently asked by senators concern
ing the various items of the bill, but the
reading proceeded at considerable length
before there was any serious interruption.
One of the first suggestions came from
Mr.. Dolliver. who criticised the action Of
the committee in increasing the Payne rates
on manufactured celluloid articles to the
existing Dingley rates. The explanations
were mad by Messrs. Aldrich and Smoot,
tina the manufacturers of celluloid goods
in the United States are in danger Of being
driven out of business by cheap msnufao-
turers in Japan. Mr.. Smoot said that two
large, new factories are now being built
in that country. Mr.. Briggs gave notice
that he would offer an amendment for a
still higher rate.

The panic seems to be chiefly among the
dwellers In the harems. A physician whose
practice is largely in the harems said today
that the prevailing excitement and fear

OF violent street fights and imminent dan

Izzet Pasha, chief of the general staff
and principal member in Constantinople
of the committee OF union and progress,
had handled the situation SO skillfully
that the First army corps has been won
over to the constitutional cause to the
point. in any event, of not offering any
opposition 1zzet Pasha is making every
disposition of the troops within the city
to the advantage Of Husni Pashs. the
commanders OF the constitutionalists
should the committee deem It necessary to
oocifpy the city. The Council Of Ministers
has been in session today under the presi-
dency OF Tewfik Pesha, the grand visier,
presumably to discuss the demands OF the
constitutionalists. No announcement OF
the . outcome OF these deliberations had

Tom Creigh, jr., OF Omaha. who, with
ington for several days endeavoring to
bring about an adjustment of differences
between the federal government and the
Cudahy Packing company, as outlined In a
suit brought by the United States district
attorney OF Kansas against the Omaha
and Chicago company for an alleged VIOLA
ton of law relating to oleomargarlne, said
today:
W are here for the purpose OF get
ting the facts before the commissioner
Of internal revenue. The case begun
against the Gadahy- company in Kansas
City. as TlsunderStand Il. was not
prompted by the department. but was
taken on the district attorneys own in
i~tiative. The Cudahy company has en-
deavored to live up to the oleomargarine
law. Where IL has a shade of color that
color is natural. This we nave endeavored
TO demonstrate by chemical analysis.
The department. however. does not seem
to realize that oieomargarine may pre-
sent a different appearance at different
times OF the year Just as butter does.
and we are In Washington for the pur-
pose Of showing Mr.. Capers that the
suits begun against the Cudahy company
In Kansas City are wholly unwarranted."

WASHINGTON. April 2~.-(Special Tele-
gram.)-Though the bill providing for taxi
ing tho thirteenth census of the United
States has not yet become a law, Director
North of the Census bureau is. and has
been for some weeks, preparing to put the
vast machinery into work to accomplish
the work for 1910 as expeditiously as pos
sible.
The proposition OF Director North is TO
throw his enumerators into the field April
10, 1910. and complete the enumeration OF
inhabitants of the rural districts within
thirty days. In cities Of 5000 or over II
is expected enumerators will count heads,
so to speak. within fifteen days. so that
by May Is. 1910, enumeration, urban and
country, will be completed and reports
ready to forward to Washington for tab
ulation.
Under the pending census bill there will
be a supervisor for each congressional dis
trlct in each state so far as II Is prac-
ucable to arrange such subdivision along
geographical lines. These supervisors of
the census will receive a salary. of 81, 500
for their work, and in addition will receive
81 for each 1000 names enumerated within
their territory. These supervisors are to
be appointed by the president and must
have the confirmation of the senate.
The enumerators who actually make a
house to house canvass are to be paid a per
diem of from 81 to IS, depending upon the
territory in which they work. In cities,
enumerators will receive a certain amount
for each name. In Nebraska there will be
six supervisors, one for each congressional
district, and they will have under them
200 enumerators.
In low there will be eleven supervisors
and 200 enumerators.
In South Dakota there are to be APP
pointed two supervisors and 900 enumerat-
ors, while in Wyoming there will be one
supervisor and $50 enumerators.

CONSTANTINoPLE. April 1.-THE re-

government had ordered the cruisers Mon

in Asiatic Turkey, for the protection of
Americans has brought satisfaction and
even a sense Of security to Americans here
and in the Syrian coast cities OF Mersina,
Beirut and Alexandria,, whittier the in
formation has been forwarded. The
trouble may be over before the cruisers
arrive, but there is also a chance that
in two or three weeks time civil war may
be beginning, in which event the vessels
would be invaluable for the protection Of
the Americans. Great Britain. rance and
Italy already have warships on this coast,
while Germany is sending vessels. and in
addition all the great powers maintain
suardships at Constsntlnople.
The consuls and the consular agents sta
toned on the Syrian coast sent in tele-
grams yesterday and today declared that
the missionaries were receiving strong pro-
lection at the hands of the Turkish au-
thorities. j.. b. jackson, the American
consul at Aleppo. however, expresses some
concern for the missionaries in outlying
stations who have given asylum to Chris
tian refugees, At q number OF places the
conditions are not yet sufficiently quiet to
permit these refugees to leave the stations
and as q result the missionaries are still
exposed to the possibility OF mob attack.
Later reports from the Syrian coast say
the racial fanaticism is extending In the
vilayet OF Aleppo. Disturbances have
broken out at Antioch and Birejik and for
eigners have taken refuge at the British
vice consulates. The British cruiser Diana
has landed fifty men at Alexandretta. The
sheik-ul-islam, the heed of the church, has
telegraphed the ecclesiastical authorities in
Syria to exert every effort to put a stop
to the disorders. The civil and military
authorities appear to be powerless effect
lively to control the situation.
A telegram received here today from
William Chambers, an American mission
airy at Adana, dated yesterday, says:
The trouble began April IA. BY even

peace still continued. The town is under

there was much looting, great damage was
done by fire, the market was almost totally
