Sioux City. Oct. 20-State Labor
Commissioner Van Duyn is in the city
and will file charges against Joe Pas
coe. proprietor Of labor agency,
whom he accuses of defraudng labor
ing men. The case against Pascoe is
the result of bit OF detective work by
the commissioner himself. The Pascoe
'agency has long been under suspicion
and the commissioner came here some
days ago to investigate. Dsguished as
a common laborer he entered the
PaScoe agency and paid fee of $3.50
for Pascoes services in securing him a
job where as t,<c law allows only S1.00.
Pascoe made arrangements to send
him to Omaha where he was promised
work at $1.T5 a day
Van Duyn made the trip to the Ne
braka metropolis where, he says, he
found that the conditions of the pro-
posed employment had been grossly
misrepresented by Pascoe. Returning
here yesterday he, in company with Il.
M. Brooks d University of Iowa
student also disguised as a laborer,
went to the Pascoe agency and de-
manded his money back. This Pascoa
lrefused and ordered the men from his

DISCIPLES or

AGING INCREASE IN MEMBER
SHIP OF CHURCH

Pittsburg, Pa, Oct. 2O.--With the
street meetings last evening the cen
tenial convention of the Disciples OF
Christ concluded This was the DAY
of Evangelists." A thousand dollars
was raised TO send Evangelist w. r..
Warren, of this city, to Palestine as a
reward for his work during the con
Yention.
For the first time, it Is claimed. lay
men were given definite knowledge of
the magnitude of this demonstration
Forty times more delegates attended
this convention than the one held in
this city eighteen years ago, In one
century the Christian church has Sc
cured 100000 communicates, 1t,714
church, S,752 Bible schools and 6,S61
ministers Nearly 100000 students
are enrolled in the Bible schools, and
the total church valuations is $29,-
742,244. Over 100000 was contrib
uted in open meeting for carrying on
the work at home and abroad. Scores
of addresses were delivered by Sena-
tors, congressman and prominent busi-
mess, men of the country, while the
crowning climax was reached last
Sunday when over $4,000 persons gath
cred at the baseball park here and
partook of the Lords supper. 1t was
said that it was the most marvellous
communion services ever attempted.
The first wedge for the broad inter
pretation of the baptismal ceremony
was driven in one of the speeches, and
| it is possible that in short time
candidates for entrance into the
Christian church will be allowed tc
choose the form of baptism which
! their own consciences dictate. In this
address Col. Samuel Harden, of the
! church at Pitsburg, pointed out that
the unyielding position on the ques
ton of baptism had greatly retarded
the growth of the church, and the idea
is meeting with outspoken approval.

OF EDUCATOR.

Washington, d. c. Oct. 20.-Resolu-
tions fiercely denouncing the "mur-
der" of Ferrer, declaring his martyr
dom" had given the cause of liberty a
great impetus not only in Spain and
European monarchial countries but ey-
erywhere that human aspiration for
freedom yet seeks attainment, were
adopted in yesterday afternoons ses-
sion of the executive council of the
American Federation Of Labor
Taken in connection with the sen
fencing of President Gompers, Secre-
tary Morrison and John Mitchell to
Jail for contempt of court. the conclud-
ing paragraph of the resolution is re.
garded as significant. 1t declares:
"We take this occasion of the military
murder of a man whose real offending
was speaking, writing and teaching
humanity to become more wise, free
and liberty-loving, to remind the peo-
pie of our own country that the liberty
of citizen is only secure when trial
by jury in open court for any alleged
offense involving punishment is gua--
anteed."
Ferrer's Death Denounced.
New York, Oct. 20.-Five thousand
men and women last night in Carne-

"Ferrer's life was taken because of his

MANY LIVES BELIEVED TO HAVE
BEEN LOST IN STORM OF GREAT
SEVERITY; RAILROAD SUFFERS
GREAT DAMAGE.

Manila, Oct. pa typhoon Of un-
usual severity swept across northern
and central Luzon Sunday night Wire
communication with all points beyond
Dugupan and Luzon has been cut off.
One message from San Bian says the
loss OF life was considerable and the
damage to property heavy. Torrential
rains accompanied the storm and an
extensive area was flooded. The rail-
road bed was washed out at several
points and one station was swept
away.
Big Damage to Railroad.
Details of the typhoon coming in
later indicate that the destruction
was greater than at first believed. The
famous Benguet road, extending fifty
miles from Dagupan to Baguio, where
the government has its summer capi-
tai and health resort, was damaged
to the extent OF $250,OOO. Two suspen-
sion bridges over gorges have been
carried away. There is no information
upon which to base an estimate of the
possible loss OF life.

CANNON HITS
The INSURGENTS
SPEAKER PAYS RESPECTS TO
LA TOILETTE AND cUMMlNs
IN ELGIN ADDRESS.

Elgin, H., Oct. 20.-Speaker Joseph
G. Cannon Of the national house of
representatives for two hours last
med the opera house, poured hot shot
into the ranks of the Cannon critics.
La Toilette RdicuIed.
Mr.. Cannon sarcastically referred to
La Follette's desire to revise the tariff
downward by pointing to his silence
on the cheese and dairy products,
which are produced in large quantities
in Wisconsin. He said that Mr.. La
Toilette sang very low on this point,
downward for the products of other
states and where the revision down
ward did not affect his state.
What Cannon Found in Iowa.
II found in Iowa In the last weeks,
said Speaker Cannon, returning to
Senator Cummins, "that it is an open
secret there that Cummins not only
purposes to join hands with Bryan
but says the agitation will not stop
and that he will appeal to the people
until the tariff Is revised to his no
tions.
in the campaign to be waged by
Cummins, the issue appears to be
whether the seven senators and twenty
representatives who voted against the
tariff bill constitute the Republican
party, or whether the majority of the
Republican members of congress anc
the president make up the party.
"The people, under the leadership o.
Cummins and La Toilette, call them
selves Republicans. If they are, | an
something else"
