London Especially - President Pedro
Montt Of Chill arrived at Bremen on the
steamship Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse
Tuesday morning. His death occurred at
ll50 o'clock p. M. 1t was due to q
recurrence of heart failure, following the
recent attack of angina pectoris from
which he suffered.
New York (Special) President Montt
left New York just week ago after
one of the most startling experiences in
his career. That same morning he had
seen Mayor Gaynor shot down on the
deck of the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse,
had witnessed the struggle with James j.
Gallagher, the would be assassin, and
had departed on the Kaiser feverishly
excited over the occurrences, as were
most Of the other passengers aboard. A
sufferer from heart trouble, it is not i'm
probable that his sudden death may in
some measure be attributed to the strain
of that occurrence. -
Before the vessel departed President
Montt gave out an interesting review, de-
scribing the shooting as he saw it, and
later at sea he flashed wireless mes
sage of sympathy to the Mayor. He ar.
rived in New York from South America
on August 3, after stop in the Panama
Canal Zone, where he inspected the work
on the canal and pronounced it good.
Arriving here he was received with the
presidential salute and met by the Fed
eral, State and city officials.
On the following Friday he left for
Boston, whence he was taken on the
Presidents yacht Mayfower to Beverly,
where he and Mrs. Montt had luncheon
with the President During his talk with
the President the Peru. Ecuador boundary
dispute came up, and President Taft
asked the ChiIian executive to use his in
fuence in urging the two countridI to
accept the good offices of the United
States toward an amicabe adjustment.
In consequence it is understood that
President Montt cabled instruction to
Santiago.
While in this country the i'll health of
President Montt was apparent. He was
easily fatigued, and his old heart trouble
bothered him considerably. 1

J. B. Billiard says he stands for law

nent of the law and will carry out to

office If elected mayor of Topeka next
Tuesday.
Mr.. Billiard explains his position with
regard to Joints and other questions
and answers his critics in the follow
ing letter:
To the Editor of the State Journal:
In answer to the statements made by
my opponents in this campaign, I wish
to say that the 'fwet and dry" issue or
the question of Joints will not come
before me, If am elected mayor.
Our state constitution settled that
question.
I am not in favor of allowing Joints
and / could not do so if I wanted to.
The governor, attorney general and
county officers would put me out of
office If I did.
I believe it is the duty of every pub
lie officer to enforce all laws.
If I am elected mayor shall perform
my duty. J. B. BILLIARD.

COMPROMISE DECLINED
Erie Employees Refuse an Advance
of Six Per Cent.

New York, March 31.-The Erie
Railroad company today offered all
its employees now receiving less than
$500 a month an increase of six per
cent in wages provided the original
demands made by the men would be
withdrawn. Representatives of the
men refused to accept and stated that
the original demands would be in
sisted on.
The Pennsylvania and Philadelphia
& Reading railways recently rendered
their employees a six per cent increase
in wages The New Jersey Central is
expected to make similar offer OF a
six per cent increase, but the matter
is said to be held in allegiance because
the increase would bring that road 8
wage up to within two per cent of
the Baltimore & Ohio settlement. An
offer of this kind. it was said, would
provide a powerful lever with which
the employees of the New Jersey Cen
trail could enforce their full demands.

place of a regular prospectus. 1t gives
the names of the business men who

today that there has not been held in
Topeka a single fair which if prop
erly handled would not have paid out.
There was no blame put on those upon
whose shoulders fell the burden of the
work, but the difficulty in the past
has been that there have not been suf-

Drunk Four Years.
His Wife Never Saw Him Sober
I'm That Time.
HAS REFORMED NOW.
Takes Place of Delk as Leader
in Jail Meetings.
Advises Every One to Let Whisky
Alone.

Declaring that his wife had not seen
him sober for four years, August Palm,
who has charge of the Delk congrega-
ton at the county Jail since the leader
left, said that only since he had been
in jail had he taken time to become
thoroughly sober Palm exhorted his
hearers TO leave whisky alone and said
that a drink taken from an old sailor
when he had injured his foot. was
what finally led to his squandering his
wealth in riotous living.
Palm is nee less den1onstrative ex-
horter than ais leader with the four
letter name. He rounds up his flock
and tells them plainly of the error of
their way and his. Confession is good
for the soul, tits said, and Palm ought
to be getting some relief, according to
the officials of the county jail. He has,
at least. done enough confessing.
But the Delk congregation is begin

not the leader.
Went Out Like Lamb.
DeIk promised the prisoners that he
would leave the Jail singing and shout

hold services in the Jail daily. But these
promises are not being carried out. Delk

the old negro preacher started GOD

the rest OF the Delk organization join

prisoners do not know whether he has
deserted them or is too busy afrang-
ing his affairs outside to teach them
more OF the faith in which he started
them.
Meantime it is up to Palm and he is
working hard in an effort to keep the
flock up the standard set by the lead
er himself when he was in the Jail He

NAME YOUR CITY
Get Home Papers Baltimore Is To
Have A Push.NewswagOu For
That Purpose.

In few days Baltimore will be
treated to an innovation in the news
paper line, and those citizens who
pass the northeast corner of st. Paul
and Baltimore streets will find that
they will have the opportunity of
getting the news from every quarter
Of the globe.
The innovation is the news wagon,
to be established by the Worlds News
Company, which has similar wagons
in many parts Of the United States. A
citizen may stop at the wagon and
ask for the paper he desires; a visitor
from the East, West, North or South
may want to hear of home happen
ings, and he puts down his money,
asks for his home paper and there you
are.
The establishment of this wagon
is due to a visit of Mr.. j. w. Cohen.
the travelling representative of the
Worlds News Company.
Baltimore is one of the largest
cities in the East, =" said Mr.. Cohen
yesterday, and as it has gained such
reputation as q convention city, we
felt that the time was ripe to estab-
lish our plant here. There are always
some sort of convention or other large
gathering in this city, and that means
visitors from out of town, who nat
ually want to hear from home.
That means business aside from
the big trade We expect to get from
regular customers. We looked over
the field and arrived at the conclu-
sion that the site we selected was
best. as it is on the main street, with
plenty of room and a continuou:
stream of people night and day
eve will have papers from all over
the world on our wagon, and no mat
ter where man might live he can al
ways get news of his section by &
visit to our wagon.
The news wagon will be in opera
tion in about a week. Mr.. Cohen
and the manager of the company, Mr.
NJ. l.. Adler, having made arrange
ments with the proper authorities fol
the necessary permits. Both of these
gentlemen are experienced handlers
of newspapers, Mr.. Cohen being a
one time regular "newsy," and his
experience in that strenuous capacity
has we'll fitted him for the work hi.
now in.
Only one wagon will be established
at the start, but there is a possibil
ity that others will be added to tn,

THE SWEET SONGSTERS
Different Variety OF Birds Seen 10 Vicin'
ity OF MURRAY Hill.
Communicated.

Communicated
Editor of the Capital,
1t has been of interest 10 the writer
to note down from time to time dur
ing the last week or two the different
varieties of birds seen in the vicinity
Of Murray Hill-the great majority
from his own porch. There seems to
be no better time or the lover of birds
to be out in the woods and fields than
the last weeks in spring.
During the originating season all
birds are more or less restless. Ii is
then quite possible to see many spe-
cies that are not with US during the
summer season. AT this season of
the year one has but to station him
self near q small bit of woods or by
the water when it is more or less
woody and shady, and in the space of
half an hour he will be surprised at
the number Of different birds he will
ee. In the spring, and fall as we'll,
birds seem, like little Joe, to be con
stantly moving on, and it is unneces
sary to 60 far afeld to find them.
If one but lives as does the writer,
conveniently near a few trees, and the
water as well. he has the best oppor-
tunity in the world for little quiet
bird study. Indeed, more varieties of
birds visit the ordinary city back
yard than one has not observed them
would imagine. The writer encloses
his list. thinking it may be of inter
est to the editor of the Capital as
well as to its readers. This list,
while fairly large, is probably not so
large as it might be made for one

neighbohood, and many birds are SO
shy and elusive that they are difficult
to recognize. Here is the list:
