this order has done. whence comes
its splendid growth and other matters

Security on the afternoon of the 4th.
In full the text of Mr.. Bailey's ad-

Mr.. Chairman, Brothers and Sisters,
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We. have received from his excel

that his heart is deeply imbued with
the spirit of true fraternity. Let the
conduct OF every one here today be
that of high character that will prove
to this honored official his welcome
Is highly appreciated by all and he
will never have occasion to regret his
act in becoming acquainted with the
K l.. of S.
We have been most royalty enter

preceded me well and nobly hast
thou spoken.) Those who have follow
ed closely his well chosen words, can
not fail to realize that the informa-
ton they contain could not be gath
cred without careful search and study.
By these utterances many of us APP
preciate more fully than ever before
the hardship endured. and the sacri-
fees made by our fore-fathers for the
blessings and privileges we now en-
Joy and which they made possible for
the enjoyment of all future genera

The principles embodied in the Dec
birth to our glorious republic were so
pure, SO just so God-like, SO far be-
yond those enunciated by any other
government that our country in its in
fancy was placed in the vanguard of
advanced thought and civilization,
and while the debt of gratitude we
owe to our ancestors cannot be can.

beginning of 1910 this had increased
to $S,136,722,93S, or a net increase of
$685.. 549,470 insurance in force The
losses paid during 1908 amounted to
$S0,42S,7S6, or net increase of good
performed in excess of $6,000,000.
Increased Assets.
The assets at the beginning of 1909
aggregated $113,9O6, 800. At the be-
ginning of 1910 they had grown to
$135, 780,989 The net Increase in as
sets during the year was $21, 1874, ESQ.
Over one and three-auarter million
dollars increase each month in as
sets after meeting all liabilities is an
achievement in which the opponents
of any system may well take pride.
Such results do not bespeak deca-
! dence or show waning resources. Nor
do they show that the future of the
system should be conserved at the
muzzle of gatling gun or in any
other harsh or coercive manner.
| During 1908 there were 956,437
members admitted and the new bust
ness aggregated 1856, 402,49S. During
1909 the members admitted numbered
| 1,051,609 and the insurance written
amounted to $1.O3S,765,125. The access
sions Of new members materially ex-
ceeded those Of the preceding year
and the volume of insurance kept
pace with these. These gains were
made in the face of adverse comment
] from those who are ordinarily looked
!, to as persons qualified to pass judg.
ment in the premises Do they not in
dictate that the people are beginning
to think and act for themselves and
that they do not purpose to be shift
ed from one extreme point of view to
another to conform to the ideas or
newly discovered light of some one
who may or may not have sounded
the heights and depths of fraternal
I operation?
Now listen. This work has all been

 TAKEN UP IN HOUSE.
Aims to Reach the Traffic in Women
 by International Agreement.

Washington, Jan. 19.-The Mann white slave" bill, with some omend- ments as the result of the passage by the house of the Bonnet bill for the suppression of the same traffic, was taken up by the house today. The bill includes provisions designed to reach the traffic in women by international agreement and the interstate commerce laws and covers the District of Co., lumbia and the territories.
 MT. Mann of Illinois chairman of the interstate commerce committee by which the bill was reported, proposed an amendment inserting an immunity clause for witnesses. to meet any pos sible inhibition by any state imposing a penalty for giving information. The amendment was designed he said to put the bill beyond constitutional ques- tion.
 MT. Bonnet Of New York spoke in favor of the bill. while Representative Richardson of Alabama insisted that the rights of states would be violated by it's enactment
 Citing many legal decisions to sus- tain his position, Representative Rus sell of Texas contended that the bill under consideration was constitutional
 Consideration of the measure will be continued- tomorrow.

DANES ARE THROUGH
 WITH DR. COOKS NOTES.
Committee Repeats There Is No -Proef
 That He Reached Pole.

Copenhagen. Jan. 19.-The commit tee of the University of Copenhagen has completed its examination of Dr. Frederick A. Cooks original notes. and today confirmed its previous conclu- sions that not the slightest proof that the explorer reached the north pole had been submitted.
 The report was submitted to the consistory of the university today The committee finds that the copy of Cooks data upon which it's previous decision was based conforms in the main to the original notebook now in its possess sion. The latter, the examiners say, contains various alterations, but there is nothing to show whether the changes were made with the purpose of de- ceiving.
 While the consistory was unanimous in declaring that Cooks claims were absolutely untrue, there are still some of Its members who urge that Cook is an honest man, although not a sci- enlist.
 So far as the University of Copen- hagen is concerned. Dr. Cook is now a back number"
 No immediate steps will be taken to rescind the honorary degree conferred upon Cook, as the verdict is merely one of lease unproven" so far as the decision of the university is concerned. However, Rector Solomonsen and Pro- lessor Stromgren, chairman of the ex- amining committee, have been dele- gated to consider further all evidence at their disposal after which final ac- tion concerning the university's hon. oring of the explorer may be taken.

 Nearly All Factory Employees.
 Nearly all of the dead and severely injured were employed in the shirt waist factory of Joseph Chachkin, which occupied part of the fourth floor of the building. Chachkin himself was injured One of his daughters is dead and another dying. A third daughter probably escaped a like fate by being at home attending her mother, who is critically ill Jumped from Fourth Story Windows.
 The flames, which originated in the elevator shaft on the fourth floor. are supposed to have been caused by the short circuiting of the electric motor which ran the elevator.
 The girls and men in the factory, be- ing panic stricken, jumped wildly from the fourth story windows, although the building was well equipped with fire escapes and nearly every window had a rope
 The monetary loss is $50,0o0.

CARNEGIE HERO MEDALS
 AND MONEY AWARDED.
Among the List of Heroes Are Two
 Connecticut Men.

Pittsburg, Jan. 19.-A newspaper man with a comfortable income, no debts and bank account was un- earthed by the Carnegie hero fund commission while Investigating an act of heroism reported to it. The story became public today, when the com mission announced that seventeen more heroes had been added to the list. lucky newspaper man who under rare difficulties rescued Catherine Murty 12 years old, from drowning at Snyders- vile. O., on Aug. 12 last. MT. Burba is editor of the Dayton Daily News and as he had no mortgages the com
 mission could pay off and his children were being adequately educated the only way in which the commission could recognize his act WAS to award him a bronze medal.
 @as FAfve~sf4ver and twelve bronze medals were awarded and about $19,000 in money. The acts of heroissn include rescues from drowning, electrocution, trains, fire and suffocation. The floods in the Hooking valley in March, 1907, again figure in the awards Jesse E. Patterson of Athens, O., re- ceiving silver medal for rescuing three persons from drowning at that time.
 The case of John A. Grady of East Baltic, P. E. l., and Duncan J. Camp bell of Cam mpbells Cove, P. E. l., reads like a sea tale of Clark RusselPs. These men receive bronze medals and small cash awards for rescuing three for eigners from ship, the back of which was broken on a reef in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. at Priests Pond, in No vember, 1906. The conditions under which they effected the rescue much resemble the work of the United States life saving corps.

 Opposed to Republicans Choosing
 Democratic Committee.
 After the vote nominating the f0un republicans had been taken, resulting m practically unanimous approval a separate vote was ordered on Che dem- ocratic members of the committee. AH this juncture Mir. Cooper arose and de- clared that he was authorized by m number Of his colleagues to say thnh they were opposed to democratic rner1-. bers Of a committee being chosen by "a republican caucus.
 Tt wonld be harmful to the republi- can party to do sO." dsclared AIr Cooper "Who is afraid that harm will come to us from James and Rainey0 With all their haranguos have theg ever been able Co burt the republican, party, or any member of Che republf- can party2 What chance have they against men like Root or Olmsted od McCali2 Let lem stay on the cOmmlts tee-they can't hurt"
 Mir. Cooper Got Names Mixed.
 MT. Cooper constantly caused Laughter by repeated inadVertsnt allus sions to Ollie James as Jesse" James. When corrected, he said he had EOt the name of the famous outlaw in his mind from reading of one of his law cases today and meant no reflection upon Representative James: but tha laughter was uproarious when in nalr- ing this explanation he said he meant no reflection upon Jesse James"
 Any Compromise Opposed.
 The most strongly partisan speecd was that of J. Sloat Fassett Of New York who adtured the republicans "a name the whole committee without req gard to the democratic selections.
 This is a republican cleaning" saiH MT Fassett, and the democratH have nothing to do with it"
 Speaker Cannon opposed any coB1s promise. You've only gof two propos sitiQns," said he. "Either accent fbo democratic selections or reject 'em."
