SHELDON AT HEAD.
Topeka Preacher President of Bible
Institute.

The Bible institute at Washburn has
come to a close. On account of the sat
isfactory attendance and the enthusi-
asm of those who attended the sessions
il was voted to make the institute an
annual affair. To this end the follow
ing resolution was adopted:
BE 1t resolved. That in view of the
marked success of the Bible institutes
held here. one in June last, and the
other the first week in February under
the joint auspices of the Congregation
al association and the Washburn Bible
school, successful both in the strong
and attractive programs provided. and
in the popular interest manifested, we,
the members of the institute, desire to
record our emphatic convictions as to
the great value of such Institutes and
an equally strong desire that this be-
come permanent institution, holding
its sessions annually in this city and
in the winter season. We wish further
to express our appreciation of the ef-
ficient labors of the state association
committee which has had the matter in
charge of arranging for the institute.
I'VE recommend that the institute at
this time organize by electing necessary
officers and report this action to the
state association
The following officers were elected:
President. Chas. NJ. Sheldon, D. D.;
vice president, j. H. j. Rice, d. D.;
secretary and treasurer, Rev. J. E. Ing
K. Sanders, DIR. F. T. Lee and Rev. A.
E. Holt.
The speakers at yesterdays meetings
We're DR.. F. K. Sanders, Rev. f. l..
Hayes. Rev. j. p. O'Brien of Kansas
City. DR.. A. r. Holt III Manhattan and
Rev. Chas N. Sheldon.
Rev. J. E. Ingnam who was we'll sat
isfied with the success of the meetings,
had the following to say:
1.-THE great gatherings every year at
Frankfort, Geneva, and Mortified have
had no higher line of studies in their
special sphere than have been given at
Washburn this week.
Five years ago a. Bible institute
was organized at Bangor, Maine, and
it now requires the largest church in
the city to accommodate the sessions,
and there is no reason why the insti-
tute in Topeka should not grow greatly
in magnitude. We had an attendance
of 400 at our largest session.
1t was decided to hold the next years
institute February Z 1911.

PINCHOT APPEARS.
For the First Time at Session of the
Investigating Committee.

Washington, Feb. 5.-An unexpect-
ed public session of the Bailinger-
Pinchot congressional investigation
committee was held this morning, fol-
lowing the receipt from the interior
department of two bundle of docu-
mentary evidence called for by Mr..
Brandeis, the attorney representing
Louis r. CLAWS.
Mr.. Brandeis had complained yes
terday of the delay of the interior de-
partment in forwarding these papers
and the committee decided this morn
ing to dispose of them at once by fix
ing rules under which they could be
examined by counsel.
Following an executive session of an
hour, Chairman Nelson announced
that the committee had adopted a
resolution providing that the papers
should remain in the custody of the
schedule of them, and all the attorneys
to inspect them in his presence, so as
to determine which should be offered
in evidence.
Mr.. Brandeis remarked that he had
but few hours to remain in the city
and would like to begin inspection of
the papers at once. Chairman Nelson
said it would be necessary for the clerk
first to make the schedule. Senator
Flint, however, offered a compromise
by suggesting that as fast as the pa
pers were scheduled they should be
turned over to the attorneys. This was
agreed to, but it was announced that
the attorneys alone should have ac-
cess to the papers and that no one
else would be permitted in the room
while they were examining them.
Mr.. Brandeis said he would have to
be absent from the city on February
10 and IL. and suggested that the
hearing might go over until Monday,
the 14th. The committee, however,
adhered to its purpose to resume the
hearings Friday, the 11th. The brief
session today was marked by two in
teresting incidents, Clifford Pinchot
making his first announcement in the
case and John V. Vetrees of Nashville
making his first appearance as chief
counsel for Secretary Ballinger.
Mr.. Pinchot arose and asked that
Nathan A. Smyth of New York be
added to the list of counsel as his per-
sonal representative and that he be
permitted to examine the papers.
Representative DENLY questioned
Mr.. Pinchot as to what angle of the
case his testimony would be directed.
''The story I have to tell" replied
Mr.. Pinchot, sis my connection with
conservation
"And that includes the Alaska coal
land cases and water power sites? 2"

The committee agreed that Mr. Pin
chot would not be called until after
the cross examination of Mr.. CLAWS
was concluded, and adjournment was
taken until Friday. The attorneys be-
gan immediate examination of the
papersssent By the interior department.

TO CUT EXPENSES.
AIdrich Reports Bill Providing for
Commission.

Washington, Feb. 5.-From the
committee on public expenditures Sen
ator Aldrich today reported a bill
providing for the creation of a per-
manent commission on business meth
DDS in the government. He said the
bill had the unanimous sanction of
the expenditures commission and
sought to obtain immediate consider
alton. In this request he was antag-
onized by Senator ElSins, who said
he desired opportunity to determine
whether the commission would inter
fere with the functions of congress
sional committees. Accordingly the
bill went over, but Mr.. Aldrich gave
notice that he would call it up again
Monday.
The bill provides that the proposed
commission shall consist of nine
members, three of which are to be
members of the senate, three mem
bers of the house and three to be ap-
pointed by the president. The meas
ure grows out of the efforts of the
public expenditure committee to re-
duce government expenditures.

A Despairing City.
London, with King Edward lying
dead, is a .despairing city. All the
West End theatres were practically
empty that evening. Even the physi-
ognomy of the streets showed a sad
change. Thoroughfares which are
normally scenes of life, hustle and
gayety resembled the streets Of a city
through which the shadow of death
had stalked. Pedestrians were rare.
Cabs and taxis passed by at intervals
instead OF In ceaseless file, and
motor buses rumbled past empty or
nearly empty Of passengers.

tuition the King never dies. The death

Late in the afternoon in one Of his
last wakeful intervals, the dying King
said
"Well, it is all over. but think 1

For some hours prior to his death
the King had been comatose. The
scene In Buckingham Palace through
out the day was extremely sad. Not
only members Of the royal family and
court officials, but the servants were
weeping bitterly when 1t became def
nitely known that their royal master
could not long survive.
1t is said the last words OF His
Majesty were addressed at o'clock
to Sir Edward Laking, his body ply
sician, to whom he said:
II know this is the end; tell the
Queen"
The dramatic end came Just before
the stroke of midnight. 1t was known
that His Majesty had been constantly
sinking, and recourse had been taken
to oxygen throughout the evening by

prolong life, but. not prepared to un-

Yet in the silence of the night,
though stricken beyond belief, the
hundreds stood mute about the palace
gates, loyal and sympathetic in their
sorrow.
The actual illness from which the
King suffered was an asthmatic car
diac affection.
The King died as he had lived-in
harness. He refused to stay in bed
on Friday morning, but got up, and
even transacted business as usual,
with Lord Knollys, his private secre-
tary.
He faced his illness, the Times
says, with courage and determination,
and except during his attacks of
coughing and choking conversed as
usual. He had a bad paroxysm OF
coughing in the forenoon, and in the
afternoon such paroxysms recurred
until in the evening the attacks took
the form rather Of failure of breath
