He pointed out the danger to the state from unwise legislation and urged upon the voters no. to allow the amendment to be placed in the consti- tuition: that the second section of the amendment threatened danger to the homes of the state and that the ob- Ject Of the -Anti-Saloom League was 10 make 1t a criminal offense to keep whiskey In any house in the state.

 Threatened demonstrations of III will had been sternly suppressed but today's rejoicing was spontaneous and genuine. even the mayor of Rome having been sent by q radical and so- ciaiistic board of aldermen to par ticipate in the imperial reception.
 From the moment the imperial par ty entered Italy through the famous Mont Cenis tunnel, until 1t reached the royal castle. 1t was attended by an extraordinary military guard. Not an inch of the tunnel but what was examined and 1t was lined with sol- diers who could almost touch hands. Every station on the railroad line was occupied by the military and each coach of the trains of the lines lead Ing to Racconigi carried police guard who made periodical visits among the passengers. interrogating and even searching them whenever the least suspicion was aroused. It was an uncomfortable morning for the passenger to enter Italy by way of Modane.
 On the Italian frontier the emperor was met by special commission of generals sent by King Victor Elm manuel and by AdJutant Prince Dol gorouki. Russian ambassador to Italy. and the staff of the Russian embassy.
 At the station here Emperor Nicho- las was met by King Victor Emman- uel, Premier Giolitti. Foreign Minister Mayor Nathan. of Rome. mem bers of the court, stan officers and dfg- nitaries. King Victor Emmanuel wore the full uniform of a general with the collar of the order of Annunziata.
 Emperor Nicholas appeared in excel- lent health and the best of humor as he stepped from the train. King vic- tor Emmanuel stepped toward the Imperial carriage as the emperor de- scended to the platform. The sover- eigns embraced and kissed each other 1n both cheeks.

 San Jose. Cal. Oct. 23--Professor W. S. Day, who for more than twenty years has been member of the faculty of the San Francisco Theological Sem inary,s at San Anseimo. and who was vindicated two years ago on a charge of heresy. has again been made the subject of a clerical investigation.
 pr. Day, who Is professor of the Old Testament at the seminary. was charg- ed yesterday in the session of the Pa- cific Synod of the Presbyterian Church with deviating his teachings too radi. cally from the orthodox conception of Christianity as set down in the con- -fession of faith. A resolution was adopted instructing the Board of Di- rectors to investigate the veteran teachers beliefs.
 The definite charges were that Dr. Day propounded doctrines of higher criticism" alleging that the account Of Jonah and the whale and other mir acles were mere fables and that the book of Isiah and other portions ot the old Testament were not historical ly tfue.

INDIGNANT PLANTERS KEEP POLICE AT BAY

Tutulia. Samon. Sept. IS. via San Francisco. oct. 23.-Because the Ca- cao commission, appointed by the German residents of Samoa, ordered some of the plantations to be burned in order to extermfnate the disease now attacking vegetation. two plan ters resisted the police by force of arms. For several days the planters remained barricaded in their homes and fired at every officer that appear ed in sight.
 No one was wounded and after their arrest the planters declared that they had only fired blank cartridges to in- dmidate the police.
 The two planters were summarily deported by order of the German gov ernment. Several plantations were burned and one planter was so affect ed by his loss that he became insane.

Russell County SmdN Boy s Y
 Spedks Against Anendment

Hurtsboro, Oct es.--(speciaI. .1--doId bugs and silver Democrats mixed up politics mighty bad in this county and this community. So did the Kolb- Jones conflict years before. but at the beginning of this amendment campaign no one thought that things were going to reach such a boiling point that preachers would cross-question poIffi- cal orators from the audience or that ll-year-old boys would go on the stump against the proposed patch of the constitution.
 Both of these are developments of the week in Hurtsboro. The preacher speaking out the audience is now an old incident. It bobbed up in Brewfon and was repeated in several other com- nunities. That Is thread -bare---as worn as dubbing the old Guard whiskey bought. ss..
 But the novelty Of youth of Il years pealing forth eloquent periods in defense of the organic law Is claimed for Hurtsboro. The prodigy is Master Perry Lamar Borom.. He Is . school boy and regarded as one of the prom ising intellects of the school hers.
 Young Boron reJoiced the other day when Kyle Price came here. to speak for the amendment All the children rejoice when an amendment speaker comes along because the teachers turn out to give audience. It is understood that many other schools do the same. The turnout to the Price speaking was what made Master Perry, the young Demosthenes against the amendment.
 It came about this way: The anti amenders slipped in speaker to an- swer MT. Price at the end of the lat ter's speech. He was Mfr. Brown. of this place. man of good standing and basted the amendment fellows about as fercely as the amendment man did the defenders. But the Brown speech seemed to impress Master Boron the more and scaked on his brain. It stuck almost like it was graphophode rec ord.
 First thing. MT. ,Borom's family knew the school boy was reeling on some bombastic language about the sacred ness of the constitution and about If Christ was on earth and performed his miracle of Canea he would be jailed in Alabama; the home should be secure whole lot of other argument why police regulation should not be tagged on the Constitution."-
 And. like . Eraphophone. these plati- tudes won't stop rolling from Perry's lips. He likes the feeling when they come out. He talks that way among his neighbers and 1t So shocked some of the amendment nei4hbors that they told his mother and father about it.
 Well, 1t happened that Mr., and Mrs Boron were against the amendment. too. and there. was further shock to neishbors. and 1t Is noticed that Mir.
