MINISTER TALKS OF AFRICA
rev. John VI. Springer Tells of Places
Roosevelt VIII visit.


In the interest of the African Diamond
Jubilee Rcv. John NJ. Springer OF Chi
cago, who has been in the African mission
field with Bishop Hartzell addressed a
large audience at the Broadway Methodist
church last evening. In commemoration
of the seventy-fifth anniversary OF the in
auguration Of mission work in Darkest
Africa" by Methodists. the church this
year Is asked to raise 5000 900 for the con-
tinuance of the work in that country.
Tho American people more than others
will profit by the extension OF missionary
work In Africa" said Mr., Springer. "All
OF Africa fs not barren. Far from 1t. The
continent has one of the brightest prospects
for a mining and agricultural future. You
will find its cities modern. There arc
street cars, paved streets. electric lights,
automobiles and as fine stores as one could
ask for and in which you can purchase
almost anything you wish"
Referring to Mr.. RCoseveit's hunting trir
to Africa, Mr.. Springer said, Roosevelt
will make his tour into the African interior
considerably further north than our field
OF work. He will therefore be much
nearer the equator, but after he has passed
the lower lands of the continent he will
ascend to a higher altitude. which will
bring him into a climate which will com.
pare with that of Umbai."
At noon yesterday Rev. Mr.. Springer
addressed a, number OF ministers and lay
men from the several Methodist churches
gathered around the luncheon table in the
Dutch room at the Grand hotel.

Report on Hospitals.

Tn house committee on investigation Of
hospitals made a report today which con-
tanned nothing either new or sensational.
The committee found that in times past
there have been instances of neglect and
cruelty to inmates of the hospitals, but
that in every case where the heads of the
institutions have found this out they have
discharged the persons responsible. The
committee also recommended that the state
for the institutions be increased
to S4 a month in order that moro and bet
ter attendants may be secured, which Is
something the board has been trying to
have done for years. A special committee
was recommended for each legislative ses-
sion TO make an investigation every two
years to find out If the hospitals are prop
erly managed.

CFrom a stair correspondent

(Erom a starr correspondent
DIES MONIES. April s.-(specisl Tele-
gram.)-A bill was introduced into the
house this afternoon to raise the salary Of
the governor TO 5000 a year and OF the
treasurer, auditor and secretary to $500
a year. The house passed the Clarkson
assumption of risk bill In regard to respon-
sibility for accidents, and the senate bill
TO forbid the sale Of cocaine. The senate
passed the Swift bill to penslize railroads
for failure to obey orders of the railroad
commission and a bill forbidding trading
stamps in stores.
Tn slumbering fires Of a big political
upheaval came near breaking out today
in the state senate, and may yet come to
a head. II became noised about that the
name Of Judge ]. p. Conner of Denison
was being considered in connection with
the appointment OF a place on the Board
OF Control. This morning the senators
started out with a petition to the governor
asking him to retain the nonpartisan and
business character of the state board by
retaining John Cownie, the chairman. who
has been a member for nine years. Cownie
is a farmer and the business head to the
board, but has never mingled in politics.
He is recognized as one of the most valu-
able servants the state has ever had. The
petition went to the governor and he re-
sponded by sending to the senate the name
Of Judge Conner for the Cownie place on
the Board Of Control. He stated that he
had already rendered the place to Conner
and he had accepted. Conner is very OBJ
jectionable to the members because he is
recognized as a politician and has never had
any experience whatever in the special
II@,- ~ 49, wt4.A A.
board. The name was sent to a committee
and will. be considered after the committee
reports. The incident started something OF
a fractional lineup, since Conner was de-
feated for congress last year because Of
factional troubles in his part of the state.

MISCELLANY
The Daylight Saving Movement.

The movement in Great Britain to
secure a daylight saving" law ap-
pears to be making Roadway, though it
may still be far from enactment. The
question of q uniform time standard
is worth considering in connection
with the efforts to conserve the natu-
raj resources Of the United States and
to improve its industrial affairs. A
great advance was made when stand
ard time was changed at the ninetieth,
one hundred and fifth and one hundred
and twentieth meridians by exactly
one hour when going from New York
to San Francisco. This was done to
benefit railroads and has proved to be
a great blessing. But If present east
ern time Ohat of the seventy6fth
meridianl were adopted as uniform
standard for the whole country uni
formity in regard to the clock time
would prevail in every part Of the
United States.
The benefits OF a single time stand
ard to the bulk of the American peo-
pie using it-that portion which now
keeps central and mountain time
would be enormous. At least Co.
100000 people would thus save the use
of artificial light one hour every day
in the year. This saving would be
cent day, or total of 100000 daily
for all the people, and in one year this
saving would amount to 365 times that
sum, or $2l9.0OO.O00, more than enough
to maintain navy of forty eight bat
tleships with the accessories of three
fleets, including their bases and naval
coast defenders Commodore Beehler
