to Support Bill.

Atlanta, Ga.-Resolutions advocating
national prohibition, calling upon all
churches to aid in the fight for prohibit
ton and condemning interstate commerce
laws as they now stand, allowing the
shipment OF liquors from a wet to a
dry state, were adopted at the closing
session of the Southern Anti-Saloon
League convention here Monday.
A resolution was adopted urging all
Southern representatives and senators to
support the AIiller-Curtis bill now pend
ing in congress, which provides for the
segregation of liquor in its treatment
under interstate III laws and per
mits any state to seize liquors shipped
within its territory contrary to its laws.

TRIAL OF JAP SPIES
ARMY MEN SAY THERE ARE MANY
CHANCES OF CONVICTION.
Nothing Will Be Done by Japan Until
Matter Has Been Decided by the
Courts.

Wa3hingtOn.-The secretary of the
navy, Friday, ordered that the two ctr
zens of Japan who were held by Maj.
Gen. Duval, commanding in the Philip
pines, on charges of obtaining infOrma
ton about the defenses of Manila should
be turned over to the civil authorities,
there being no federal statute covering
the case.
1t is not admitted at the war depart
ment or at the state department that
Japan has in any way let its interest in
the case be known to this government.
Baron Uchida, the Japanese minister,
however, said III answer TO specific ques-
tons:
Il shouldn't think that my govern
ment would interest itself in this mat
ter while it is the hands of the United
States authorities. | do not know that
any action is contemplated, but certain
ly nothing will be done until after the
cases are disposed of by the authorities,
that is if any action were necessary"
No inforNation regarding the purpose
of the ambassadors call at the state de-
partment was vouchsafed by him. 1t
was expected that he would avoid a dis
cussion of the case on its merits, even
had he conferred on the subject.
Officials in another department, how
ever, state that there was not the
slightest chance that Japan would inter
fere in government conduct of the case.
This statement was made after the call
of the ambassador. The reason for the
prediction was the official belief that the
Japanese foreign office could not afford
to assume the attitude of publicity and
officially defending it's citizens on pecu-
liar charges which were made against
them.

Snow Adds to the Effects of Unprece.

San Antonio, TeX.-AlmOst incessant
rains for three days nave put streams
in this section of Texas on such a ram
page as has not been recorded in TWEEN
ty years.
In Uvalde county, west of here, beside
the 200 goats caught and drowned by the
overfiowNof the Neuces river, 1000 goats,
which had been sheared earlier in the
month, persisted from the cold and rain.
Bee men in Bexar county also lost
thousands of dollars, the flood having
reached their apiaries. At Fort Davis
and Maria, still further west, two
inches of snow has fallen and fruit and
young vegetables are killed.
The loss will total high into the thou
sands, but is small compared with the
benefits which will accrue to the farm
ers and stock men from the rains.

Texas Wins Oil Case.

Washington.-The supreme court OF
the United States decided the case of the
Southwestern Oil Company versus the
State of Texas in favor of the state, thus
upholdlng the constitutionality of the
Texas state law known as the Kennedy
tax Law, which fixes a tax of two per
cent. oo the gross receipts from the sale
of oil, paptha, etc.
The court held that a classification of
wholesale dealers as distinct from retail
dealers for purposes OF taxation was a
proper exercise of state power.

Hot Springs, Ark.-William Jennings
Bryan, writing from BuenOs Ayres to

tional Democratic committee, urges that
no demonstration of any sort be made
over his arrival in New York. "AnythiEg
of that sort would be miscOnstrued and

been delayed in transmission, besides
having to be forwarded after reaching

letter that the matter had just been

in New York arrangements for a recep-
ton for the distinguished Nebraskan.
Il prefer to arrive and go Immediately

permitted from a personal letter, written
to Mr.. Mack as Il personal friend of Mr..
Bryan. Mr.. Mack stated in connection
with the letter that it was a request that
should be regarded, as Mr.. Bryan was
sincere in the matter, and had made him
self as plain as necessary in the quota
ton that "anything of that sort will be

HINDUS ALARMED AND ASTlR
Spread Of Christianity Threatens
Whole Structure Of Hinduism
With Overthrow.

Hinduism is awakening to the fact
that if the great sub-strata of Hindu
society known as the depressed classes
be raised by Christianity, the whole
structure of Hinduism is theatened
with overthrow. This awakening is
being followed by efforts in various
parts for the improvement OF these
poor people. The latest is a move
ment in Ahmedabad. In that city, on
August 80, a meeting was held at
which the attendance of the depressed
classes was encouraged and in which
they were allowed to sit beside caste
people. Resolutions were passed for
the formation of a Central Hindu aSso-
citation. which should have for its OBJ
jects the raising of the depressed
classes and their readmissiOn into
Hinduism after being converts to for
eign faiths. AS to the means to be
adopted for realizing these objects,
the following suggestions were made:
(a) Starting schools. clubs and assoc
Citations; to- establishing preaching
missions; (c) publishing papers.
periodicals. magazines and leaflets;
I'D adopting such other can as may
be conducive to the above objects.
