draped two large American flags and
overhead were hundreds of red and
white lights. All around the hall red
Christmas bells hung from garlandS
Of ferns and flowers, The walls Werc
q mass of Christmas greens and flags
of all nations waved from the ceiling.
The tree was cleaning with loo
small red, green and white electro

tfnsel was wound in and out among
them. Three hundred red, gold and
green ornaments were used in the tree
decorations and 100 yards of popcorn
was strung about the branches. It
was the most beautiful Christmas tree
ever seen on this beach. The success
of the affair is due to Fred McCarver,
business manager for the Abbott Kin

ADELAIDE AND OREGON
STREETS TO BE JOINED

Adelaide and Oregon streets are to
be Joined under the name of Oregon
avenue, if the council adopts the sug-
gostion of the city engineer, which has
been approved by the board of public
works.
These two streets are practically con-
tinuous and the engineer says it would
be a real convenience to give them the
same name. The combined streets are
only two and a half blocks long and
are not likely to be extended in the
near future, so not many addresses
will have to be changed.

WILL QUIZ UPCHURCH.
Police Will Hold Recruiting Officer for
an Examination.

James Upchurch, sergeant in charge
of the marine recruiting station in To-
peka, is being held at the police hos
marine recruiting headquarters at Jop-
lin, Mo-, from which place a telegram
was received this morning by Chief of
Police Jenkins. The police have been
directed to furnish Upchurch with am
pie medical care at government ex-
pense and to hold him until a superior
officer can arrive to make an examina-
ton into his conduct of the last few
days.
That the recent conduct of Up
church, which since his being station
ed in Topeka has been such as to give
an unfavorable impression of him
here, is not the result of an ordinary
drunken spree but has followed some
personal trouble not explained, is a
belief toward which the police incline.
Early in the week the recruiting ser
geant asked two policemen whom he
know to lock him up. A partially
emptied flask of Jamaica ginger, said
to be a powerful intoxicant, was taken
from him then. He was released on
bond a few hours later but was soon
afterward brought back suffering from
what was pronounced morphine poison
ing. A physician used a stomach pump
on him and brought him safely around.
He was released again Wednesday but
is still quite i'll.
He has not offered to explain his
conduct but has kept his own counsel
since his first detention.

DENNIS HEARING is ON.
Technical Objections Are Removed
From the Charge.

After several hours of argument in the
district court this morning proceedings in
the case of the state against Israel Alfred
j. Dennis were continued until this after
noon in order to give County Attorney
John j. Schenck time to amend the in
formation in the case, the purpose being
to remove certain technical objections to
its form. Dennis is one of two defendants
IN the charge of having separated William
Klee, shoemaker. from s., 200 by false
pretenses, their claim having been to
divine authority. in demanding him to give
up all his earthly possessions.
Separate trials have been granted the
two defendants, Dennis and his partner,
William Moody. Dennis, who filed a
poverty affidavit, is being represented by
James Mcclure, whom the court appoint
at once Moody's going over until next
term as he has already gained his liber-
ty under bond. A number of technical OBJ
jections were raised by Mcclure and
Moody's attorney, w. 1. JamiSon. The
chief of these related to alleged Imperfect
lions in the written charges filed by the
county attorneys office. While the court
held that the objections could be held
only technical he directed the county
attorney to amend.
Dennis represents himself as high Off
Ger IN the Restored Church of the Messiah
to which Moody was a convert. Klee
who was already a fanatic on religious
subjects. accepted their doctrines and
i! finally was persuaded to give them his
lifetime savings of $1,000 in money. The
case was first brought into court at the
complaint of Daniel Klee, father of the
man who lost the money.
The trial of Dennis case is in, progress
this afternoon but probably will not get
to the jury before Friday.

A DOLLAR A DAY.
Proposal by G. A. R. to Grant All Vet
Grams Pensions.

Atlantic City, Sept. 22-The PEN
sion committee of the Grand Army of
the Republic today made a report to
the opening session of the national en-
campment condemning the proposition
that congress grant each Union vet
eran of the Civil war pension of at
least 81 a day for life. The commit
tee maintained such pension would be
too expensive to the government The
report recommends that the widows of
veterans receive an increased pension
and also advocates that the pensions
of veterans above the age of 20 years
be increased. The report was referred
to the resolution committee. This
committee will make a report later.
The election of officers and the place
of next meeting were made the special
order for this afternoon.

Senator LOrimer Asks for Post
pOnement of Investigation.
Attorney Says He Is Anxious to
Tell Whole Truth.
BUT NOT RIGHT NOW.
Wants the Criminal Cases First
Disposed OF.
Senators Adjourn Without TAX
ing Any Action.

Chicago, Sept. 22.-After hearing
arguments for and against a postpone
| ment of the Lorimer investigation I'M
til after the November election, the
senatorial committee adjourned its
| first formal session today until itomor-
row without deciding any of the ques-
tions presented to it. The plea for a
postponement of the hearing was made
by Attorney Elbridge Hanecy, counsel
for Senator Lorimer, and was based on
the assertion that to continue the hear
ing while two criminal cases are pend
ing involving similar subjects would
be unfair to Senator Lorimer, who
wishes to call the defendants, Minority
Leader Lee O'Neil Browne and State
Senator John Broderick, as witnesses
before the committee. Attorney
Hanecy also urged that many of the
state legislators who voted for Senator
Lorimer were now seeking reelection
and that to compel them to leave their
districts to testify before the commit
tee would be hardship on them and
that the testimony given before the
committee would be used for political
purposes and not simply to arrive at
the truth.
Attorney Clifford w Barnes of the
Legislative Voters league, who filed
a petition with the United States senate
embodying the charges of fraudulent
methods in the election of Senator
Lorimer, opposed the continuance, de-
claring the senatorial committee had
a solemn duty to perform to help
purge the state of it's disgrace.
Not Fair to Lorimer.
Before adjourning Attorney Hanecy
argued that to proceed in the investi-
CATION would be unfair to Senator
Lorimer and also to the members of
the state legislature who voted for
him and are now seeking reelection.
Senator Lorimer is ready and anxI-
Gus that the whole truth shall be
known said Attorney Hancey. He
wants to call Minority Leader Browne
and State Senator Broderick to testify
They are now under indictment and
they on the advice of counsel will re-
fuse to testify except on compulsion
This committee can compel them to
testify but Senator Lorimer does not
wish them forced to go on the witness
stand and give evidence that might
possibly be to their disadvantage at
their trial"
Attorney Hancey asserted that not
only is the election of Lorimer involv-
ed but that the question of the ex-
penditures of money for the Illinois
deep water way is also connected with
the matter and that to call legislators
from their district would be unfair to
Them t-sF
Mr. Hancey went over the details of
the two trials of Minority Leader Lee
O'Neil Browne and the present indict-
State Senator Broderick in Sangamon
county. The meeting was opened by
Senator Burrows.
The committee then adjourned for
the day to meet again at 10 oclock
tomorrow morning.

IT'S NOT The Way
Railroads Given Warning 10y
commissioner Lane Today.
Find Method o. Increasing Reye-
nue. Without Raising Rates.

Chicago, Sept. 22.-Interstate Com
merce Commissioner Franklin K.
Lane, today indicated at the rate hear
ing in progress here that railroads
would have to meet the problem of
constantly increasing cost of operation
by some other means than that pro-
posed-increase of rates to meet the
increased cost of service.
AS the country develops" said the
commissioner, there will be more and
more freight delivered to the carriers
and by the reasoning of the railroad
officials here that means increased
cost per unit of service, upon which
they will demand increasing scales of
rates.
Il regard it as a serious menace to
the western country if rates are con-
stantly to be increased. We must work
out this problem on other lines than
by this proposed rate method. If not
there is no time when we can say
the maximum rates will be reached.
w. A Gardner, vice president of the
northwestern line, was the first wit
ness subjected to questions by Attor-
ney Clifford Thorne who represents
live stock shippers in many states.
Mr.. Thorne's questions were intended
to bring from the witness admissions
that his company had made enough net
earnings to rebuild the road, had they
been so applied. The attorney main
tanned the company had kept up its
right of way and equipment by the
use only of earnings without affecting
the dividends in years when the in
come apparently was light as well as
in fat" years.
Other roads who will present testi-
mony that a raise of rates is needed at
this time are the Chicago, Burlington
& Quincy, Iowa Central, Minneapolis 4.
St. Louis, Chicago & Alton, Missouri
Pacific. the Omaha road and the Great
Western. The Missouri, Kansas &
Texas line also may appear.
