ELEPHANTS ORGANIZE A BAND.
Play Real Music and Bring Briny
Tears With Home, Sweet Home.

Tears With Home, Sweet Home.
A herd of elephants playing real
music on brass band instruments is
one of the surprises of the Barnum
and Bailey circus which ON Saturday,
August 81, is to visit Salem. These
elephants do not make mere noises.
They play Their repertoire COM
prises half dozen old songs that
everybody knows. They play "Home
Sweet Home" for an encore; not as
skilfully, perhaps as sousa's band,
but at least SO that the merest child
can recognize the air.
They play a big march number
with real ginger. The drummer
uses his tail instead of the conven-
tional buckskin stick. They march
around the arena with the regular
and precise step of soldiers. A Choir
us of graceful young women works
in conjunction with the elephants,
greatly to its attractiveness. The
performance is the most striking
novelty in animal acts ever intro
duced in a circus ring.
Another trained animal specially
that is making a strong appeal is
presented by company of Hungar-
ian stations trained to perfection.
Europe calls it the greatest horse
act in the world. They form bri-
gades. plrouette and execute all tn"
intricate figures of a long-drilled
comic opera chorus At the conelu-
sion of this the ring is set like n
stage to represent roadside inn.
A big white animal Is the landlord.
Another horse arrives for supper
and a nights lodging The tavern
keeper lays a smoking feast before
him. The diner has recourse once
too often TO big black bottle and
goes TO sleep IN his chair The land
lord wakes him and helps him into
his bed. Morning comes and Mine
Host rings the breakfast bell. But
the guest refuses 10 get up. The

COMMISSION GRILLED
IMMIGRATION COMMITTEE WAS
FLAGRANTLY PROFLIGATE.
Representative Macon Saws Election
to Congress Does Not
Mean integrity.

WashingtOn.-Gales of laughter alter
mated with storms of applause for near
ly an hour in the house Tuesday after
noon while Representative Macon of Ar
kansas grilled the congressional immi-
grafton commission for the manner in
which the body has spent more than
$%65O,OOO of government money since its
creation three years ago.
Wine, whisky, cognac, lemonade and
mineral waters were some of the neces-
saries of life which the travelling mem
bers of the immigration commission pro-
vided for themselves while taking their
100000 trip through Europe and ASIA
Minor, according to the showing made
by Mr.. Macon after delving into the
files of the accounting offices of the
treasury. From the same official
source Mr.. Macon brought forth the in
teresting fact that the members of the
commission paid literally for carriage
hire while taking trips for the investi-
CATION of immigration conditions to such
places as the National Art Gallery, the
House of Lords, Westminster Abbey and
the Tower of london in that metrop-
oils, and the catacOmbs in the cities of
Rome, Italy, and Syracuse in Sicily. 1t
was also brought out that members of
the commission had taken long carriage
rides out from Jerusalem to such we'll
known sources of immigration as Beth
any and Bethlehem in the Holy Land.
Other items of expenditure for which
the commission turned in vouchers to
the treasury, but which the accounting
officers refused to sanction, were for
shaves, shines and 'rubs," the last evil
IDENTIFY meaning either Turkish baths or
massage treatment. For these the treas
ury officials would not stand, and the
members of the commission who enjoyed
the ~luxuries had to pay for them out of
their w pockets.

LAYMEN HEAR AFRICAN HERO
Lives Where Theodore Roosevelt Is
Now Hunting.

Memphis, Tenn.-TwO of the most re-
markable characters in the world are in
Memphis, brought here by the laymen's
cOnventiOn-One an Englishman and the
other a Korean prince. One lives in the
heart of b~enighted Africa, where he has
served fourteen years as a missionary;
the other has lived most of his life in
his native Korea, where he has occu-
pied various positions of state, and is
now content to fill the honored post of
president of the Methodist College, es-
tablished by the Southern church, of
which he has been for more than TWEEN
ty years ar ordained minister.
The Englishman addressed a great con-
gregation at the Second Presbyterian
Church Tuesday night, and it is no dis
credit to all of the other distinguished
men on the program to say that his adj
dress has been the piece de resistance of
the convention so far.
The Korean prince is a speaker of
rare oratorical ability. In his own
country he is Prince Yum Tchi Ho. In
the Methodist year books he is plain
T. H. Yum. He was educated at Van
derbilt University and speaks pure Ok
ford English.
Unheralded, practically unknown, un-
assuming and little noticed, Willis r.
Hotchkiss sat or the platform by the
side of John R. Pepper and looked out
into the sea of faces before him, prac-
tically the most incOnsequential man in
the auditory. Two hours later, hun
dreds of those men were crushing
against the pulpit to grasp the hand
of one of the greatest heroes and, one
might say, empire builders in the mis-
sion field. His story was told with that
completeness which characterizes the
Englishman the world over. They are a
thorough people and we in America, at
any rate, never hear any but the best
prepared and equipped of their public
speakers. Can it be that they only send
to us such men?

WAVES BLOODY SHIRT
IDAHO SENATOR WOULD RE
FUSE TENTS TO REUNION.
Wrong for Men in "Rebsr' Uniform
to Use Government Property
at Their Reunion.

Washington.-The "bloody shirt" was
waved in the senate today probably for
the last time, for the man who attempted
to reopen the CHASTITY wounds of section
al strife was so completely rebuked and
mortifyingly r~epudiated as to establish
beyond the p~eradventure of a doubt that
the senate of the United States never
again will tolerate a revival of the bit
terness that the lapse of years has as
suaged. By a vote of go to 1 the senate,
late this afternoon, adopted the joint res
~olution introduced in the senate by Sena-
tor Bankhead of Alabama, authorizing
the wal department to loan tents and
poles to the United Confederate Neter-
ans, whose next annual reunion will be
held in Mobile next April. The sixty
votes were cast by Democrats and Re
publicans, the single vote was cast by
Senator Hepburn of Idaho, who before
the resolution was submitted to a vote,
inflicted upon the senate a speech reek-
ing with hate and gall, the answer to
which was the adoption of the resolution
against which he ragged for an hour. Hey
burns own colleague, Senator BoTah,
voted in the affirmative.
Senator Hepburn could not quit his
subject without attempting to besmirch
the fame of Gen. Robert E. Lee, whose
statue in the congressional hall of fame
as Virginia's contribution, he opposed the
senate formally accepting. He referred
to Gen. Lee as a traitor and called upon
Virginia to take back his statue" which
he said "the state of Virginia must keep
as the likeness of one of its heroes, but
which the people of America did not
want

40 MILLION YEAR FOR RIVERS
Vigorous Debate May Follow Report
of Committee.

MISUNDERSTANDING 100000
o will be carried in the rivers and har-
bors appropriation bill for the next fiscal
year. The Ohio river and the Great
Lakes and other sections are provided
for in items passed upon, but the
amounts were not made public.
The bill, which is distinctly an annual
budget, though contemplating ultimate
expenditures that are likely to reach
$6OO,OOO,0OO, will be finally adopted by
the committee. The report is expected
to precipitate a vigorous debate, as the
measure will be as disappointing to some
interests as it will be pleasing to 9th
ers.
The framing of the river and harbor
bill, if the present expectations are real
lied, will preclude a general public
buildings appropriation bill at this SEES
sion.

FIRES DESTROY 1,1449 LIVES
Too Many Frame Buildings in the
United States,

Washington.-Fire levies upon Ameri
cans each year an enormous tax, c~alculat-
ed by United States government officials
at almost a million and a half dollars a
day, and LAC lives a year. AS a result
of an investigation just concluded by gov
eminent officials of the United States
geological survey, it has been ascertained
that cheaper freproof materials can be
used to advantage in construction, that
three to six times the necessary amount
of material is habitually used in struc-
tural work in the United States, that the
building codes are laxly enforced, that
the fire loss in the United States is eight
times as much per capita as in any coun-
try in Europe, and that the great fire
waste in the United States is due princi-
pally to the predominance of frame build
ings and to defective construction and
eQuipment.

Y M MEET AT MEMPHIS
Delegates From Tennessee, Missis-
sippi, Arkansas and Kentucky.

Memphis, Tenn.-That the world will
be evangelical for Christ in this genera
ton was the emphatic announcement of
the speakers at the opening session of
the laymen's movement missionary con-
v~ention, held Monday night in the Scot
fish Rite Cathedral on Union avenue.
Seven hundred delegates from the terri
tory contiguous to Memphis were in at
tendance, and speakers of national and
international fame were on the program.
It has been planned to hold these con-
ventions this year in IS cities of the
country, and this is the thirty-tifth con-
s~ecutive one. 1t is gratifying to know
that the Memphis convention is perhaps
the largest yet held in the South, over
1900 delegates having registered, who
came from Protestant churches in every
town and city in Tennessee, Mississippi,
Arkansas and Western Kentucky, within
a radius of 1OO miles of this city.

Minute, Uganda Protectorate. The
Smithsonian African scientific expedition

Every one is in excellent health. Before
leaving Rhino camp, in Belgian Congo,
the hunters secured three more white
rhinos, a bull buffalo and other game not
before reported. Kermit Roosevelt OBJ
tanned some splendid photographs of a
living rhinoceros. All were delighted with
their visit in the Congo.
Col. Roosevelt's mail has brought him
several requests to speak in European
cities, but he will be unable to arrange
for addresses other than those already
promised. He expects to speak in Paris
April IS, at the University of Berlin May
1, and soon afterwards before the Noble
prize committee at Christiania.
Col. Roosevelt will arrive in England

LIABILITY
IF EMPLOYE Is KILLED HE GETS
70 PER CENT. ANNUITY.
Scale of Damages for Loss of Eye,
Arm, Finger, Toe, Etc, Pro-
vided in the Bill.

Neutrality-suspicious. of the most radi
cal pieces of proposed legislation before
the present Congress and one which here
tofore has not occupied any great
amount of attention, is now being given
serious consideration by the Judiciary
comittee of the house..
1t is the bill introduced by Represen-
tative SABBATH CDem.) of Illinois, which
would require all corporations, carry
ing on occupations and trades subject
to the regulative power of Congress-"
including railroads, express companies
and sleeping ear companies, to pay com
pensation on fixed basis to injured en-
ployes. The legislation, if enacted,
would overturn the present employers
liability law, and, in fact, revolutionize
the existing system of indemnity for
personal injuries.
The bill defines the amount of COM
pensation to be paid by employers to
employees, in cases of injury or death,
basing it upon the amount of the pre-
vious earning power of the victim, and
provides that it shall be paid in the
form of an annuity. The bill is based
upon the existing law of England and
Germany. Such a law was favored in
one of the messages of former President
Roosevelt, and President Taft is also
said to have commented favOrably upon
it.
The measure goes into the minutest
detail in regulating the payment for in
juries, specifying how much shall be
paid for the loss of an eye, an arm, a
finger, a toe, loss or impairment of sight,
hearing or similar injury, and including
medical, surgical and hospital treat
rlent. The loss of a toe is fixed at 5
per cent. The loss of both eyes at IS
per cent, the loss of the right hand at
60 per cent.

RICH MAN IN STATION CELL
Arrested With Woman Suspected OF
Dipping Him.

Fittsburg.-James L. Matthews, who
gave his age as 72 years and evidently
a rich man, spent all night in a cell at
the central police station on the charge
of being a suspicious character. In an
other cell was a beautiful young woman
who gave her name as Elizabeth Morgan
of Woodcock, Pa, % years old. Mat
theWs and the girl were both arrested in
an apartment. The police say they had
noticed Matthews going about with the
young woman, and hearing that he was
a man of means, feared the girl was hold
ing him up for money, and so took them
both in charge.
When brought to the police station
Matthews was searched, and q roll of
81 900 fell out of one of the pockets and
a few loose hundreds out of the other
corners.
In a book D. his inside pocket was
found a certificate of deposit for $780,
900, another for $50 900 and a third for
$50 1000, each of recent date and issued
by a Pittsburg bank.

KILL OFF COMPETITION
PACKERS GET CONTROL OF NEW
YORK RETAILERS.
Loan of $15, 900, 900 by Kuhn Loeb
to Organize National Pack
ing Company.

Chicago.-Evidencing tending to prove
= deliberate attempt on the part of the
Chicago meat packers, acting through the
jointly owned National Packing Com
pany, to suppress competition in the sup
ply of fresh meats in New York city,
has been secured by the department of
Justice.
Agents of the government, it 10 de
:lared have obtained positive proof that
the stock of the New York Butchers As
ISOLATION, which within the last two
years was organized by retail market
owners in that city as an Independent
packing enterprise, has been bought up
almost entirely by the National Packing
Company.
The fact that a company organized ex-
pressly to create competition and to
make the New York butchers independ-
ent of the big packers should be acquired
by the Chicago interests, is considered by
officials of the department of justice as
a most important link in the evidence
now being collected to prove that the
National Packing Company is operating
in violation of the Sherman antitrust
law. II IL
A reported loan of 15,OOO,O 900 from
Kuhn, Deb & Co., of New York, to en-
able the Chicago packers to organize the

subsidiary corporations, was also inves-

An Honest Policeman.

Huntington, w. Va.-An honest po-
liceman, on his rounds through a dark
alley, stumbled over the half-conscious
form of a man with $1,000 in real none
bullying from his inside coat pocket.
The officer took $50 of it, but only after
protest, as a reward. The man explained
at police headquarters that ne was Geo.
Smith, a farmer of st. Adams, who had
sold his place yesterday and was out to
celebrate last night. He did not know
how he came to be sleeping in an alley.
