Has Been Continued Into This
Week and the Interest is
Still Being Kept
Up.
THE MUSIC IS SPLENDID
Rev. Queen is a Profound and Earnes,
Preacher and 10 Greatly
Interested In the New
Church.

The revival services at the First
Methodist Protestant church have
been continued into this week. The
services on Sunday were very inter.
esting. DR.. Queen preached both
morning and evening, to large aud.
fences, and his sermons were the best
of the series, If one can judge by the
appreciation of the audiences. Rev.
Ackley sang at both services.
On Sunday night 1t became known
that Rev. Ackley would have to return
10 Hilburn, N. Y, to his pastorate, on
Monday. The crowd came early to en-
10y this last song service by Rev.
Ackley. He sang the pierced Prince
by request, as q solo and the crowd
was with him from the first word.
Rev. Ackley has certainly proved a
splendid leader of music and his
chorus work was fine and would do
credit to any one of longer experience.
His solos were spiritual and helpful,
and always well chosen. AS was
stated, Rev. Ackley is an author of
music and is thoroughly equipped for
his work.
At the close Of the service, Mrs.
Butcher and Rev. Ackley sang duet,
81 am PRAYING for YOU" and many
we're touched by the rendition of this
hymn.
DR. Queen on Sunday night took for
his text Jer. IL and 90. At the close
many arose and declared their choice
of Christ as a Savior. Rev. j. c. Nc
Caslin, the pastor. declared he was
we'll pleased with the services and
that many had applied for membership
and that at the next communion he
would receive a large number, as it is
the custom here to receive members
at each communion service CT the
first Sunday in each month.

G EATTLE, Wash, Dec. 16.-The
county, grand jury today took up
the investigation of the traffic in
women slaves, in which Seattle ranks
second only to New York, according
to a government commission.
A Japanese furnished a list of dis
orderly establishments, being operated
by Japanese, together with informa-
tion covering the amount of alleged
protection money paid by the proprie-
tors of these establishments and the
names of alleged importers of women.
The jury was informed that the
business between policemen and pro-
prietors of the establishments was
transmitted through plain clothes men.
A committee visited the Japanese
quarter examining easements of ho-
tells and employment offices. In sew
eral places it was discovered that un-
derground passages connected offices
of various sorts with disorderly houses
and that gambling houses with appar-
emily reputable offices, were running
underground.
Seattle is the point of entry for
Japanese slave women" and the port
of shipment of European slave wom-
en-" to the mining camps Of Klasaka.

Osbon, Il heard Loose say:

Captain Osbon does not believe that
Loose's narrative, as supported by his
affidavits, was a part of any plot to
discredit DR.. Cook.
"The idea originated with Loose and
Dunkle," said Captain Osbon. "They
had for sale matter in this controver-

handle it. When they found that out,
they cast about for something else.
Dunkle was the promoter, Loose the

RUSSELS, Dec. liking Leopold
died at 2:35 O'Clock this (Friday)
morning, his aged and wasted
body being unable to stand the strain
put upon it. The collapse occurred
suddenly and at a moment when the
doctors seemingly had the greatest
hopes for recovery.
Throughout yesterday bulletins is
sued from the sick room indicated
progressive improvement. The bulle-
tin posted at $50 O'Clock gave the
kings temperature, pulse and respira-
ton as practically normal Apparent
ly the drainage of the wound was per-
feet as no fever was present all day.
The king had been able to take no
nourishment
The public at large was satisfied
that the king was on the road to re-
covery, but within the pavilion where
the king lay there was a feeling of
anxiety chiefly because of Leopold's s
great age. After a restfu1 day, the pa
tient was able to sleep for a brief pc
riod early in the evening and the night
passed quietly. But toward o'clock
alarming symptoms appeared.
Suddenly the king turned and called
to Dr. Thierar, "J'etouffe, docteur,
j'etouffe." Il am suffering.)
DR.. DePage was summoned and the
two physicians did everything possi-
BILE to prolong life, but without avail.
The end came quickly and after a
spell of weakness. Prince Albert ar
rived at the death bed about 25 min
utes later. He was accompanied by
Princess Clementine.
Albert kissed the dead king, and
left the chamber weeping. Baron
Geoffinet, the kings secretary, start
ed Immediately for Brussels to notify
members of the royal family. AS he
was entering his motor car, he ex-
claimed:
"To think that only yesterday we
were still full of confidence and now
the king is dead"
1t appears that the doctors were
totally unprepared for the fatal ter
mination. 1t was nun, acting as a
nurse, who first noticed the heavy
breathing of the king.

buckles and the National Sugar Re-
f1ning company, paving the way for
future criminal procedure.
Counsel argued all day at the trial
of six employees of the American Sugar
Refining company, now drawing to a
close here, but arguments were not
finished when adjournment was taken.
The case will go to the jury tomorrow.
The sensational developments in the
sugar scandal following thick and fast
upon one another were supplemented
today by rumors of other important
disclosures impending.
One of these related to the reported
finding of an indictment against a
man higher up" in the councils of
the American Sugar Refining company
and the further report that the official
probers into the underweighing frauds
through which the government has
been cheated out of millions were
about prepared for disclosure that
would fix responsibility in still higher
quarters.
Developments, following yesterday s
payment by the Arbuckle Brothers of
nearly 100000 to reimburse the Unit
ed States treasury for deficits due to
false weight included the announce
ment that another of the big sugar
refining companies was prepared to
settle with the government, as the
Arbuckles had done, as soon as it had
been officially informed of the amount
the government claimed to be due,
