MORE ENDEAVOR
 AND LESS BOUNCING A KEYNOTE SOUNDED YESTER-
 DAY AT DENVER. A Meeting of the "BIue and the Gray" in the Presbyterian Gen
 eral Assembly.

Denver Colo. May 22.-Less Stately treading' and more democracy; less lounging in luxury in the church walt ing for the sinner to approach, and more evangelism among the lowly, were the keynotes sounded at today's sessions of the general assembly of the Presbyterian church.
 The lead in the advocacy of this doctrine was taken by John Converse. president of the Baldwin Locomotive Works, Philadelphia, Pa.
 There were other features of the as sembly today which made it note worthy. One was the gathering of the Blue and Cray veterans. This little assembly of grizzled warriors was ad- dressed by Dr. Barkeley, the moder- ator. who is a former Confederate vet eran. old times were revived and new comradeship vowed under both the banner of church and state. It is re- garded as probable that the next as sembly will convene at Atlantic City, though a bid for the meeting has been made by both Cleveland and Seattle.

 A steady rain fell Due principally to a strong northeast wind at the backs of the oarsmen. and swift cur rent, new records were established in five events. first singles. second sin gles first double souls. first paired pared shells, and junior collegiate eights
 Cornell won the feature of the day which was the race for the junior col legiate eights. open only to crews whose members never rowed in a var sity boat at Poughkeepsie or New Lon don. There were three crews in this race. Cornell, Harvard and Pennsyl- vania.
 The time of the Cornell eight was 6-e5 4-5. which beat the record of 6:27, made by Yale last year. The Pennsylvania crew was two lengths in the rear of Cornell.

Miller. both of the New York A c. won the races for first and second single souls, respec- lively. and each broke records.

A SEASON OF oRAToRY.

Washington, D. C., May 22.-By special agreement the senate took no votes today on any subject and the entire session was devoted to speech making. The lumber schedule was under discussion during the greater part of the day and the controversy between the free lumber advocates and the high tariff opponents was sharp.
 Senator McCumber introduced the subject by presenting an amendment providing for free lumber, and he was on the floor several times during the day in support of this provision. He contended that the American forests were being rapidly depleted and he urged every encouragement be giv- en to the importation of lumber for the protection of our own supply.
 On the other hand. Messrs. Elkins. Scott and Heyburn. all of them repre- senting lumber producing constituen- cies. contended strenuously for higher duty than is allowed by the house bill. They controverted the theory that the American lumber supply was rapidly diminishing
 Once more the senate placed on rec ord its determination not to undertake other legislation while the tariff bill is pending. This action was taken in Op- position to an effort on the part of Mir. Burton, former chairman of the house committee on rivers and har bOrs and now member of the senate committee on commerce. to have eX- tended appropriations made for the cOuntry's waterways.

THE EXTENT OF PROTECTION
Is Now the Only Thing to Be Considered The Propon- ents of the Tariff Contend That the Rate Fixed by the House Is too Low.

Washington, D. C, May 22.-Among the questions that will be voted upon early next week in the senate will be that of putting lumber on the free list It is stated on high authority to- night that a poll of the senate shows an overwhelming sentiment against such action.
 The Pacific coast senators contend that the house duty on rough lumber is too low, and they are supporting the retention of the present rate of s2 per 1000 feet. An effort is being made to compromise on $1.5O per 1000 feet for rough lumber and a small differential on dressed lumber. On the latter & per 1000 has been suggested.
 It is expected that after a vote has been taken on the question of putting lumber on the free list no further ac- tion will be taken until the committee has again considered the subject with view to harmonizing the differences between the free lumber advocates and those who are demanding protection.

BANDITS WERE BUS|NESSL|KE No Time Wasted in Robbinq
 J. P'S Overland Limited SEVEN MAIL POUCHES
Believed to Contain a Large Sum of Registered Mail
 Taken From Almost With in Sight of Omaha---Train
 Lost Only Fifteen Minutes.

Omaha, May 22.-Four masked ban dits held up and robbed the Union Pacific passenger train No. 2, known as the Overland Limited, a few miles west of this city, just before midnight tonight, and secured seven mail sacks, believed to have contain ed a large quantity of registered mail
 The robbers evidently got on the train at some point west of here. The hold-up occurred about five miles west of the city limits, in a deep cut along the recently constructed Lane cut of. The robbers climbed over the tank and forced the engineer to stop the train and then they proceeded to rob the mail car The clerks were forced to open the door and hand out seven pouches of registered mail. once they secured the bags the rob- bers hurried away in a southerly direction and permitted the train to proceed. The passengers were not mOlested, and as soon as the robbers left the scene of the hold-up the train came to this city. The train was detained but fifteen minutes, and left Omaha for Chicago on time.
 Two of the robbers climbed into the engine with drawn revolvers and forced the engineer to stop the train. The engine crew was ordered out of the cab and two robbers stood guard while the other two escorted tRe en- gineer and fireman to the rear There tH and they were forced to open the door, The chief clerk was singled out and asked to point out the reg istered mail This he did and the robbers gathered up seven pouches
 The leader remarked: This is all we can get into our automobile They left the scene quickly, walking down the track 300 feet and out of the cut. A continuous fusillade of shoot ing was kept up during the robbery, evidently to intimidate the passengers and crew. A flagman who went to the rear narrowly escaped being shot Several passengers who had not re- tired started to get cut of the vesti- bules but were ordered back into the cars.
 Within half an hour a squad of po- lice had started for the scene of the hold-up in an automobile. Sheriff Bradley and force of deputies also left for the scene within a short time. The registered pouches were all destined for eastern points, the greater part being for Chicago and New York. Union Pacific officials have offered a reward of s5,OOO each for the capture of the robbers.

CANADIAN RUNNER
 DEFEATS ST. YVES
The Frenchman Left the Track Early in the Race.

Toronto. May 22.-Percy Sellen. the fast little middle distance Canadian, ran Henry St. Yves and John D. Marsh, winners of the London and Canadian derby Marathon races. off their feet in a fifteen-mile race at at Hanlan's Point tonight. The pace at the start was killing, when Sellen began to take the lead. For about four miles the Frenchman hung to his heels, but he found the pace too hot.
 Sellen went steadily until he had a lead of half a lap in. the seventh mile when St. Yves went to the club house Then Sellen showed more speed and gained a lap on Marsh. For several miles there was a game struggle, but Marsh found he could not keep up with his opponent, and he, too, dropped out at ten and a half miles. Sellen fin ished alone.

VOLUMES IF ADVERTISING

Now comes the Gazette and alleges, as second cause of action, that on certain day. to-wit. May 21. 1909, it printed a certain humber of more inches Of advertising matter than The Republican. This is a matter of easy adjudication by the advertisers and readers of both papers, for not only the day in question but for all other days. They can see what advertising both papers contain and they can measure.
 They can measure 1t as all reputable newspapers do by taking account only of pure commercial matter: or they can do as the Gazette has done. by in cluding in the measurement a page of railroad dead horse advertising, all of flee advertising, such as that which exploits the excellence of the Gazette and the excellence of the Gazette s premiums. As to the rates which the Gazette receives, they cut no figure, they neither add to nor take from the total number of inches.

UNCHANGED PROGRAM
 FOR NEW BATILESHIPS
THOUGH ESTIMATES WILL BE
 REDUCED
The Vessels Already Provided For Will
 Be Built.

Washington, May 22-The reduc- tions of estimates for naval appro- priations in 1911 proposed by President Taft, will not affect the battleship building program of the navy, accord ing to an announcement made today by Secretary Meyer. The secretary de- clared that it was the intention of the administration to provide appropria- tions in that year for two battleships. Some reduction has had to be made in minor recommendations in the building program of the general board, but the main features of the plan of building remain unchanged.
 Two battleships for 1911 are to be of heavy snigle- -caliber, ll-big gun type, of which six already are provided for( the North Dakota. the Delaware, the Florida, the Utah, the Arkansas and the Wyoming. These two ships will complete the plan of the general board to have a squadron of eight ships of this type all having the same tactical qualities.

 Fly-by-Night Airship Which

 North Sea.
GREAT BR|TA|N's SCARE

London, May 22.-The speech at the Lake Mohonk conference on interna- tional arbitration by President NichO- las Murray Butler of Columbia uni versity, in which he described Great Britain's attitude toward Germany as form of present day emotional in sanity" has been strikingly confirmed during the past week.
 Sensational stories of German air ships. stacks of Herman Mausers stor- ed in London cellars. and thousands of German walters and hairdressers eagerly awaiting the emperor's signal to deliver England 10 the invading army of their fellow countrymen have been the main features of the newspa- pers throughout the country.
 The Mauser myth, to which attention was first called by Sir John Barlow, had been contenptuously dismissed by War Secretary Haldane in the house of commons as an exceptionally silly story" but it had been quite surpass- ed by accounts of mythical nocturnal visitations by a German airship.
 The phantom Flying Dutchman" soon delevoloped into a large fleet, computing papers NOuNnilS lpi Niit dN- curacy of their respective stories, and giving signed statements circumstan- italy detailing the maneuvers or the mysterious and swift moving dlrigibles at the same moment in various places on the east and west coasts and even in Ireland.
 Captains of incoming steamers have been credited with statements that they had exchanged flare signals with aerial visitors in the North Sea and some newspapers went so far as to insist that the scare ship" has its home on German warshiD now in the North Sea at maneuvers to which it returns after its nightly flights. De- scriptiOns of the secret fly-by-night became more and more graphic until certain advertisers, who had been eX- perimenting with model airships. at tached by ropes to motor cars, con fessed their part in the affair and ex- ploded various theories.
 Meanwhile Germany, as evidenced by comments in the German papers, came to much the same conclusion as President Butler. Contempt, disgust and impatience have been prominent notes in the German editorials, which picture England as the home of ner- vous degenerates, who are yielding themselves up to frenzy, unworthy even of a decaying country

The Republican is satisfied with the amount of its own advertising, which has had an unprecedented growth within the past year. year ago this paper thought it was doing well if it issued 10 or F pages daily. It has come to find it necessary now to print from IA to 24 pages.
 If this is the result of. or. in any part the result of, the Gazette's com petition. it will welcome a still warmer competition.
 The Republican, however. attributes it's growth to the growth of the com munity and the ever increasing confi- dence of the people in its pages and its policies.
 These people also, it thinks, should be spared any further infliction by a discussion of matters in which they can not be interested. They are con- cerned only in the comparative merits of the newspapers and of what they like they are their own best judges.
