PROSECUTION IS NEARING
 END OF CALHOUN CASE

San Francisco, May 25.-Detectives employed by the prosecution and the defense were the only witnesses to- day in the trial of Patrick Calhoun, president of the United railroads, on a bribery charge.
 Luther Brown. who admitted that he directed the activities of several assist ants working in the interests of the de- fense. was questioned as to his relations with men who have confessed to com plicity in the theft of papers from the office of w. J. Burns. agent of the prosecution. He refused to answer on the ground that his statements might tend to incriminate himself.
 Norman Melrose. another attache of the United railroads detective bureau said he had delivered to William M. Ab bolt, general attorney for the United railroads, and jointly indicted with MT Calh oun, reports procured by men under his direction. Nicholas Kornegold now in the employ of the prosecution, but formerly a United railroads detec- tive, testified that he had received from F. M. Platt many documents taken from the office of W. ]. Burns and de- livered them to John Helms. who was

witness last week, and to W. M. Ab- bolt.
 Kornegold declared he had followed District Attorney Langdon with two detectives and John Caludianes. to the home of James l.. Gallagher, which had been wrecked by dynamite. He de- olared Abbott had commended him for his work and had instructed him to as- certain if possible what had transpired in the grand jury room in Oakland when Claudianes was indicted in con nected with the dynamiting
 All the testimony of the day was of fered, according to MT. Heney, In an effort to show that MT. Calhoun and MT. Abbott were engaged in con spiracy to suppress evidence.
 It is believed the prosecution is near ing the end of its case, but under the most favorable circumstances It is im- probable that arguments to the jury will be reached within week.
 It was announced by the prosecution today that Attorney John ONeill and his brother. Hugh, together with F. A. Platt, all witnesses in the case, had dis appeared
 Agents of the district attorneys of flee are searching for them The O'Neill brothers are accused of having at tempting to prevent the appearance or Detective John Helms as witness for the prosecution.

Church. Members Should

Denver, May 25.-"ket Rockefeller and Carnegie alone-go into your own pockets for college endowments.' was the advice of Dr. J. c. steffen of Dubuque, la. in an address before the general assembly of the Presbyterian church this after noon.
 During the day it became apparent that Chicago instead of Atlantic City. was taking the lead in the race for the next meeting place. but the subject was not officially before the assembly.
 It was decided that slo0,OOO should be spent in the erection of churches in the synod of Tennessee to replace those taken from the church by the decision of the supreme court of that state, which held the union of the Presbyterian church in the United States of America and the Cumberland Presbyterian church H. legal.
 Dr. Steffen called attention to the lack of Bible study in the sectarian schools and urged that a rule requiring at least IA hours of Bible study in each school year be made compulsory in the case of each regular student

Washington, May 25.-Upon Maj. J. M. Wright, marshal of the supreme court of the United States, will fall the duty in bringing before the court Sheriff Shipp and the other Chattanooga men who were yesterday pronounced guilty of contempt of the court, because Of their supposed participation in the lynching in lS05 of the negro prisoner, Ed Johnson, after the supreme court had taken cognizance of his case. The men are now at liberty on their own recognizance, but 1t is not ap- prehended that there will be any difficulty in obtaining custody of them. Ordinarily Major Wright deputizes the local United States marshal to serve his warrants, and it Is probable that course will be pursued, and that the marshal for the Eastern dis trict of Tennessee will accompany the prisoners to Washington. Their bonds will insure their freedom until next Tues day when the sheriff and his five code fendants will be arraigned before the

Congress WiH Demand
 Economy M NdvaI Plans

Washington, May Especially The plan of the Secretary of the Navy to economize on the next naval bill to the extent of $1O,oOO,O0 by continu ing the construction of the usual num- Der of battleships, two-but cutting down the secondary arm, including cruisers, torpedo boat destroyers, sub marines. etc., will likely meet with op- position at the hands of Congress next winter When the matter is over with it may be found that only one battle ship will be forthcoming, while the secondary arm" will receive more consideration at the hands of Congress. Representative Underwood of Alabama and other democratic leaders are in clined, to believe that the policy an nounced by the Secretary will result in the navy becoming top heavy and that more attention should be paid to the building of drydocks, torpedo boat and submarines, than seems to be in the programme of the Secretary of the Navy.
 The naval expenditures have reach ed

IMPORTANT PLANS
 OF FARMERS UNION

Memphis, May 25.-Representatives of the Farmers union from 19 states are in session here today, with President Bar rett presiding over their deliberations, which are executive. Enough however, has been given out to indicate that those assembled are formulating plans for a re- organization of the Farmers Union Cot ton company, and that a charter will be applied for In the state of Mississippi. It was also stated that Memphis will be made the headquarters of chain of 200 warehouses now owned by the company. All of these warehouses will be under the direction of the Memphis office. Plans, 1t is said, are also under consideration whereby a warehouse to cost $1, ,000, coo will be erected in this city. The Farmers Union Cotton company, it was stated, al- ready have a contract to handle 125,000 bales of next years crop, and that B. G. West, general manager of the company. will make tour of the cotton states for the purpose of making contracts.

an annual figure of s138, 100000 and as the treasury has been running be- hind each month word was passed around that the annual budgets now in preparation for the fiscal year 1911, especially those of the army and navy, must show reduction. Of course, this large annual charge of S13S,o00,000 Is due to the maintenance of American 'l'Dreadnoughts," the original cost of which is s100O0, 900 apiece and which require s1.O00.00O per annum for main= tenance. In the opinion of many naval experts our navy Is now top heavy with battleships and shows dangerous de- f1ciency in torpedo vessels. Two ''Dreadnoughts'' a year have been au- thorized of recent years and the two authorized in last years naval act have not even been started.
 It would seem. therefore, applying the rules of economy practiced in pri- vate affairs, the the same way to re- duce naval expenditures would be to cut out at least one of the usual two 'Dreadnough tsY this year, thus direct saving of 0ooo ,o00 would be made and future drain of $1,ooo,o00 per year for the maintenance of such a vessel would be entirely avoided.

 The prevailing opinion among attorneys is that the sentences will not be heavy. as it Is believed the principal object Of the court in prosecuting the men was to emphasize It's authority, and administer a lesson which would be of value through out the country. There is little doubt that the strong dissenting opinion deliv- cred by Justice Peckham and concurred in by Justices White and McKenna. will have an appreciable effect in ameiorating the punishment
 Senator Frazier today received tele- gram from the attorney of Luther Wil- Hams, one of the defendants in the con- tempt case. saying that he would volun- tarily come to Washington to receive the sentence of the court. and asking that no effort be made to serve a writ of arrest in Tennessee. Mr Frazier thinks all the defendants will pursue that course if per mitted.

BATTLESHIP MAKES NEW

New Orleans, May 25.-Several hours ahead of her schedule and having broken all records for speed the big battleship Mississiuui reached the navy yards here at o'clock this evening, having left Natchez at o'clock this morning. The trip, distance of 27s miles, was made in the maIvelously short time of IA hours. She was not expected here until tomor- row morning.
 It was a fitting finish to the cruise of the biz ship named after the state of Mississippi.
 The cruise itself broke all records, rec ord for the size of the vessel for the hospitality of the people, and for the interest excited and the good the trip has done.
 So when the big warship got under draft and was headed down the stream,
