BURLINGTON, Ia, Oct. 2O.-The
annual session of the National Purity
Congress convened here Tuesday
Chiefly concerned with the abolition
Of the white slave" traffic which Is
shown to have gained enormous pro-
portions, the Congress, after listening
to an address by Clifford G. Roe, OF
Chicago, on that subject, adopted the
following resolutions presented by
Ernest F. Bell, of Chicago:
The National Purity Congress, In
session at Burlington, Ia, hereby
records its great qualification at the
present activity of National and State
authorities against the loathsome, ter
rjhle commerce in girls known as the
white slave traffic, We urge upon
all citizens of the Nation, especially
upon the officers of the Government,
sworn protection of the people, to take
necessary measures to end the trafnc

RAILROADS ASKED
NOT TO INCREASE
RATES ON FREIGHT
SHIPPERS OBJECT TO THE COM.
ING BOoST IN TAX ON
COMMERCE.
WILL MEET FOR FORMAL ACTION
Those Who Pay The Transportation
Charges Submit Some Figures on
Railroad Earnings to Bolster up
Their Protest.

WASHINGTON, Oct ia meeting
of important shipping interests of the
country is to be held in Cincinnati to-
night to consider the prospective &C
ton of the railways in the eastern
part of the country in increasing
freight rates in the territory east Of
the Mississippi River. No determine
tion has been reached as yet by the
railroads to increase the rates, but the
advance will be made, probably, in
the near future, if the conditions, in
teh judgment of railway officials, justi-
fly it.
Apprehending that such an advance
is likely, many organizations of ship
pers throughout the Middle Western
country have joined in a call for the
meeting at Cincinnati In addition
they have prepared letter, which
was addressed to w c. Brown, Presi-
uShI VI IHC wow lOIh Ctulldl llHSSS
Oscar G. Murray, President Of the
Baltimore & Ohio, and James McCrea,
President of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road, setting forth the reasons, as
they view them, for not making an adj
vance in the freight rates.
In this letter the shippers maintain,
on the basis of figures furnished by
the railroads themselves, under oath
to the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion
That the net income per mile of
road of the railroads in the United
States for 1907 exceeded that for 1897
by $1,534, an increase of 345 per cent;
That the net income of all the rail-
roads in the United States for 1907
was $449, ,1S8, and for 1897, $751;.
257,506, an increase of 453 per cent;
That the surplus from operations OF
all the railroads in the United States
for 1907 exceeded the net income Of
1897 by $6O,O65,7S5, and that the
amount of railroad stock paying divi-
dends increased from $1,603, 549, 1918 in
1897 to $4,94S, 756,2O3 in 1907, an in
crease of $3,345, 2O6,225. The rate OF
dividend on stock increased from SAB
per cent in 1897 to 6.23 per cent in
1907, an increase of 14.7 per cent.
In conclusion the shippers letter
says:
In spirit of conservatism we sub
NIT this statement and these tables to
you for careful checking, for the pur-
pose of showing, if possible, wherein
they are not correct; because we
feel that in a question of this impor-
lance only the absolute facts should
be made public. Otherwise, over
jealous and misguided Legislatures
might take inaccure statistical data
the basis for further unwise State
avs, affecting adversely the interests
If the carriers. We wish to avoid
his as we are not in sympathy with
he unwise State laws already upon
he statute books"

several of the charges no changes
were made.
1t is expected that by the close of
next week all of the pastors in the
county will have moved and will be
installed in their new work There is
no formality about the installation of
a Methodist preacher. He arrives,
is escorted to the parsonage, If the

ties down for the years work. DR..
Dinwiddie will move to the Methodist
parsonage here at an early date. 1t
is expected that the Board of Stewards
will authorize some repairs, which
will be made at once so that there
may be as little delay as possible in
preparing the house for occupancy.
There were probably fewer changes
made in the list of appointments at
the recent conference than ever be-
fore. All of the leading charges of
the conference had the same preach
ers returned to them. Tulip, McKen-
dree, West End West Nashville, Elm
Street and McFerrin Memorial in
Nashville, get the same pastors that
they had last year. But next year
there is bound to be a general shak
ing up as nearly all of these churches
now have four year men. Pulaski,
Murfreesboro, Bell Buckle, Clarks-
vile. Franklin and Columbia get the
same pastors for another year. w.

Springfield and R. N. Lowry of that
place goes to Gallatin, while A. c..

two years, returns to his old charge

that Weakley has been sent to Spring

excellent. In fact every department
of the Lords work prospered during
the year. There were nearly 5000 ad-
ditions to the church, the membership
of the churches in the conference now
being nearly 10000. There we're about
2, 500 adults baptized and one-fourth
this number of infants during the
year.
Next year the conference will go to
where it met for the last
time in 1898. 1t should come the FOL |
lowing year to Columbia, where the |
last session was held in 1899, the |

Assembly bill No. %, more Familiarity
known as tThe Embalmers Bill" has
been looked upon with some degree of
suspicion. It has been charged, by
persons not familiar with the purport
of the bill, that it was instituted for
the purpose of forming trust, and that
graft was the object of it,
For the benefit of those those who
think thus, as we'll as for the general
public, we wish to correct this errone-
GUS impression. ..
-Four years ago, it was our privilege
to draft the first embalmers bill ever
submitted to the Nevada Legislature;
which was introduced i'm the lower
house. by Assemblyman c. B. Hender-
son from Elko county. 1t failed of pass
age. Two years ago. my worthy col
league (Mr, T. F.. Dunn of Goldfeld)
and ] framed similar bill, which was
introduced and in turn met the same
|, fs+f, s.
East fall, we made third bill, which
was introduced in the recent legislature
This bill was substituted by a bill said
to be taken from the Indiana license
law. 1t passed both houses, was signed
by the Governor, and is now a law.
Every state in the union, except, per-
haps, two or three, has a similar license
law. e..
The object of this law.ought to sug
gest itself. Not one idea of forming a
trust or graft, was ever considered. On
the contrary, our aim in having this
law was, and is, that those who prac-
tice the art of embalming dead human
bodies. shall be required by law, to be-
come proficient enough in this science
to enable them. to properly embalm and
disinfect such dead bodies, as will rend-
er them safe, for transportation into
other states, without danger of spread
ing the disease of which such person
may have died, whether it was of con-
tagious or infectious nature or not, and
to raise the standard of the profession
in Nevada, to at least the level with
those of other states having such law.
! To the charge of forming trust or
graft, we plead. not guilty. The charge
that "all undertakers are robbers" we
emphatically deny.
Very respectfully,
- J. L. KEYSER.
