HAD 4 SOCIAL MEETING
Today Club Began Winter Session
After Holidays With a Social
Function Monday.

The Today club enjoyed a social
meeting at the home Of Miss Ethel
Lyons Monday evening. A seven
o'clock dinner was served, the flowers
and ices being in club colors, gold
and white. The ladies found their
places by ear of cards, de-
lineating certain characteristics OF
each. the words used beginning with
the initials Of the various members.
Leading the way to the dining room.
the president discovered q beautiful
birthday cake surmounted by sixteen
candles-she was told the committee
had guessed at her age. Through the
various CURSES all Of the candles
were lighted by the president and
burned until the last course. Then
the ladies arose and marched around
the table. each making a wish for the
president and blowing out a candle.
then resumed their places for a final
course.
As the cake was cut many we're the
conjectures as to the lucky and un-
lucky ones. It was q merry and ex-
citing time, each wanting the wealth
but none Of the young ladies were de-
sirous Of drawing the thimble. Mrs.
Boyden drew the ring. Miss Tremblay
was ure she had the money, but
riches are q delusion ever. she had
drawn the thimble and Miss Patter-
sol got the wealth. The supper was
delicious and daintily served. The
evening passed in music and games.
Piano selections were given by Mrs.
Whitaker, Mrs. Boyden and Miss
Pixley. Vocal numbers were given
by Miss Scallin, and Miss Pixley.
The hostesses for the evening were
Misses Lyons. Tremblay. Patterson
and Mrs. Colvin. Many were the ex-
pressions OF thanks to them 90 the
members departed to meet again in
regular study next Monday evening.

Here are men whom you have known.

REVIVAL SERVICES INCREASE
Good Audience in Spite Of Weather
Address by DIR. Ho.gland
Very Reasonable and Pr.c-

In spite Of the cold and snow
there was a good attendance Tues
day night at the Methodist church,
The singing was led by the Rev. MI.
Tibbets and his choir Of young people
was very lively and spirited. DR..
Hoagland said he believed it to be
the v of a great out-rouring Of the
Holy Spirit.
The address by DR.. Hoagland was
one which no one could we'll afford
to miss. For his text he chose lisa.
1918: Come now. let us reason to-
gether. saith. the Lord: though your
sins be ~ scarlet, they shall be a
white a. snow; though they be red
like crimson, they shall be % WOOL"
He began. by saying that II there
was anyone present who did not feel
that he was in the right relation to
God. 1t was because he had never
given the question serious consider
alton. For whenever the word 10

led by the aid Of the Holy Spirit to
reconciliation with God. He said that
anyone could easily see that many
people were wrong in this world.
Why is 1t that when all nature about
US is in perfect harmony with
Gods will. we human beings alone
are out Of harmony with the divine
plan? Many reasons are given. Some
say 1t is because of lack Of education.
But others say it is caused by wrong
social conditions. But no amount OF
social equality a ever rid the world
Of sin. Some Of the best OF Chris,
tians continually live in great want
and some of the worst men Of great
wealth. It takes more than lifting
men out of poverty to make them
right with God. Many other reasons
are given but true reason Is sin, and
the only remedy for sin is salvation.

the BALuIHGER PROBE
Vice-President Sherman and SPEAK.
er Cannon Will Name Commit
tee That Investigates Secretary.

Special to The Republican:
Washington, d. G. Jan. 5.-The
Administration resolution for the
congressional investigation of the
Ballinger controversy was introduc-
ed today in the house by Humphrey
of Washington and in the senate by
Jones Of Washington. The senate re-
ferred it to the lands committee and
the House to the rules committee.
The resolution is sweeping, calling
for a complete investigation of every
bureau Of the interior department
and Of the forest service. The in
vestigating committee will be chosen
by Vice President Sherman and
Speaker Cannon and it will have
power almost equal to that Of a court
in probing.
Senator Jones in his speech said:
Secretary Ballinger gave up a
large lucrative law practice. at the
call Of a patriotic duty. He accepted
the present position at the presidents
earnest solicitation. He is one of the
most radical conservationists In the
country. Conscious Of the purity of
his motives he welcomes an investi-
cation and wants no 'white-wash.''
Humphrey in his speech said:
.s1t has become a matter of settl-
ed conviction that attacks on Balm
ger were really attacks on the presi-
dent. From the first. Ballinser wanted
to answer the charges, but has fore
borne because President Taft did not
want him to answer. Now the presi-
dent has given his consent"

HoLDuP ARTISTS At WORK
Cold Weather and Not Caring I
Work at This Season Drove
Two Fellows to Robbing.

.N EOxlOHSS " ~EH
Things have been going along
/ rather decently in tho past month in
the way of robberies or attempts at
the anne People generally thought
that there had been a cessation
through the cold weather period. but
it seems to have awakened a couple
Of fellows to more activity and driven
them to commit the first crime in
! some little time.
Tuesday evening James Hardie
started for his home on the south
side little thinking what vas in store
for him. When Mr.. Hardie reached
the Sanborn street bridge. and had
crossed the Milwaukee railroad he
saw three parties about half way
across the bridge who were scu6ling.
He gave little OF NJ thought to the
possibility Of a holdup. and supposed
they ere two or three University
students who were on their way home
and had stopped to scutfle. Mr.. Har-
die found out different as soon az he
came up to the bunch. and discovered
that It was a holdup game. and they
had landed upon q University student.
They were making him disgorge his
wealth when Hardie approached
them. Fortunately the University
lad had about 80 cents and that was
all they got of him. When Hardie
came up the tallest robber of the two
Immediately pulled a gun and showed
1t into his face with the strong re-
quest to holdup his hands. Hardie
wanted to argue the question a mo-
ment, but that was cut short. and his
hands were showed up in the air.
Hardie protested that he had no mon-
ey and that it was useless to go
through his clothes. The protests
excited the curiosity Of the robbers
and they went through his clothes.
They found a pocketbook that COM
tained $21 and this they appropriated.
but took nothing else Of value.
The robbers were dressed shabbily
one wearing a short overcoat, and.
both had h~ankerchiefs tied across
their faces as an eifectual disguise.
AS 500 as the hold up was ove the
men started north and on reaching
the railroad track, turned east and.
disappeared among the boxcars.i
Hardie hurried over to the residence
OF George Austin. and telephoned the
police department Of the robbery. and
Policeman Newman came to the res
cue. This was about 10 O'Clock and
for two hours they hunted through
the Milwaukee yards but could not
find trace of them.

Fall Causes Death

This monring the dead body Of a
man about 55 years of age was found
near F. G. Hartwig's place in the Sixth
ward. The man had evidently fallen
down flight of steps, a distance of
about twelve feet, and death resulted
from his injuries, but as no one wit
messed the accident help was not
obtainable. 1t is thought that the man
miSt0Ok the stair landing for side
walk and fell before he discovered his
mistake, as it was dark at the time.
The body was removed to the morgue
and an inquest will be held at Justice
Stacys office Friday morning at s
o'clock to inquire into the manner and
cause of death.
From an Identification card on his
person it was learned that his name
was Albert Wuehr, and he had been
employed at the Northwestern railroad
Fcamp in Lebanon as a >teamster.
He quit Monday after having been on a
spree two days and was on his way to
Milwaukee where a son resides. No
money was found on his person, but he
had one months wages due him in
Milwaukee it is said. The body will
be held at the morgue until his rela-
tiveS can be found.
